//------------------------------// // Will you... // Story: Generations to come. // by GalaxyFlower //------------------------------// Do I not love Comet? No, I do. I know so. Then why can't I say those words? "I-" I try again. He lowers his head. "It's alright." He mumbles."I understand." His body shakes and wobbles as he walks out the room slowly. In shame. "I love you!" I blurt out. I hold my hoof to my mouth. Where did that come from? He stares at me in awe, and I can feel my cheeks heating up. "Thank you, Star." He smiles, and continues to walk out. I stay there, holding my mouth as if to clamp it shut from saying anything else. To chastise it for blurting out those words. But for some reason. I am not ashamed of those words. I am proud. I am proud I said those words to him. "Celestia, your so confusing sometimes." I smile to myself. I flop down into my hotel bed, and fall into a deep sleep. "Sister." I hear a voice call. It was Luna. She must be sending me a dream. "What is it?" I ask her. "Have you found the one yet?" She asks. I think about Comet. "I'm not sure." I reply. "I see. Me too." She sighs."Good night, sister." "Good night." I say, and her image fades. I wake up groggily, and do my morning routines. Brushing, combing, and bathing. They feel unnatural though. Because something is bothering me. Why did he just say 'I love you' and leave? Was he too shy to say anything else? I sigh, and continue to try and comb my mane without magic. "I'll have to ask him." I say. Yeah right. If you can find him. He might as well ignore you now! "We'll see." I mumble. I walk out of my room, and Honey Mistral, the clerk pony, calls for me to the front desk. "Yes?" I ask. "Today was your last day." She explains." Just hoping you knew that!" I nod my head, trying to not look angry. -o- "Oh, hi, Sun." Comet says, shifting uncomfortably on the door. "I was wondering if I could stay here." I cringe. "Stay?" He asks, suspicious. "I couldn't pay for the hotel." I explain. "Oh." He says dully. He greets me inside and he shows me to my room. But that's about all he does. Yeah, he hates you. "Look. About yesterday..." He starts. "It's fine." I reassure him. There I go again, blurting out things. "Well... want me to take you out for dinner?" He asks. "Uh... sure!" I say. I may sound unsure and not enthusiastic now, but a voice in my head says," Is this a date? Please be a date, please be a date!" "Alright. Just meet me outside at..." He stares at the clock on the wall."7:35." I nod my head. It is 6:01 right now. Giving me a good one hour and thirty-four minutes to get ready. I already bathed, so now I have to do my hair and make-up. I hope this doesn't look dumb, because I don't have magic. I pick out a royal gown I wore to the Grand Galloping Gala, but when I tried it on, it was too long for me. So, I trimmed it a bit, and hey! It fit on fine. 7:35 I waited outside. He came out, surprised. I was wearing a dress and makeup and stuff. While he was plain. "Uh..." He mumbled. "It's fine..." I sigh. -o- "Hello, I'm Swan Majesty, I'll be serving you today." The pale pony smiled. We ordered. Like any other day. ~o~ "Lotus." I sigh. "Y-yes?" He stammers. I can see him blush as I lean on his shoulder. "Do you think I can crash your place?" I ask. He blinks. "S-sure!" He laughs nervously. Dirty pony. -o- "Your staying over?" Lotus' parents gasp."Why, we must get the room ready!" They scamper around, grabbing decorations for the guest room. "It's fine, really." I stammer. "No, no! We treat guests like the princess!" Moon Burst smiles, holding a knob for a dresser in her mouth. "Speaking of princesses, we haven't heard news from Luna and Celestia lately." Lotus mumbles. I swallow hard. "Ah... they must be busy and ah-" I stammer, looking for an excuse. "I know. Aren't they always?" He mumbles. Phew. We all settle in later for dinner. "Thank you for letting me settle in." I thank them. "Oh, no problem, honey!" Mystic coos, winking at Lotus. Lotus responds to his mother's wink by lowering his head and picking at his peas. I giggle a little. He can't hide his blushes very well. ~o~ "So... um..." He starts. "Look, if you don't like me staying over, I can leave." I mumble. "No!" He yells almost immediately. He sits down, blushing when everypony stares at him. "Look, I don't mind you staying over it's just..." He explains."I... I know you know this but really, Sun, I love you." I think he knows. He knows I'm Celestia and he's trying to make me confess. "Thanks." I reply. His face frowns a little, and he stares at his menu once more. I wonder what's wrong, but then again, I've never been in a real relationship before. -o- I guess Comet and I have been dating for 4 months now. It is now the month of February, and Hearts and Hooves day is tomorrow. He asked me to join him on a picnic and I agreed. It was going to be a regular day. Or so I thought. Tomorrow "Hey, Sun!" He smiles. He chose the Canterlot park for a location, and he had, somehow, known my favorite spot. "Hi." I smile. "Hey guys!" A familiar voice yells. Eclipse. He must've followed us here. "Look, Eclipse we-" I start. "No, it's fine. I get it! This Comet pony here wants to steal my mare!" Eclipse growls, and he lunges forward at Comet. Out of my Princess-like instincts, I hop into action, and I jump in front of him to defend him, and Eclipse ends up punching my hoof. He gasps, and stumbles back, but now he blames Comet more. "Look at what you did, you scared-y-pony!" He snarled. Comet backed up, and whispered to me,"Run!" So here we are... taking off from a stalking, creepy colt. After a while of trotting, Comet said,"Stop." In a breathless voice. Hm. Must not run often. "Look... I know it must've been a hard day on you..." He sighs, disappointed. Yeah, it has. First I have to walk alone to Canterlot Park on a breezy day like this, second I get a nearly broken hoof, third, it's starting to snow! "But... I have to ask." He smiles a little. The snow sprinkles down gently. "Sun Star. Will you marry me?" He asked, pulling out a diamond ring. I gasp. The only thing I can do right now is stare at him wide-eyed. I review his words slowly in my head. Will you marry me? Is this actually happening? "Yes." I smile. The words come out of no where, but I don't scold my self. I feel a force in my body push myself towards him, and kiss him. One word. One word that could change my life forever, and I said it. Yes? Yes.
