Tick, tock, tick tock...

There was nothing to be nervous about. Right? I mean, I was the coolest thing in Ponyvil- No, the world! Who was it the fans chanted for at each Wonderbolt Rally? Who was the sole master of the Sonic Rainboom? Who else in the whole wide world of history decimated the last speed record? Rainbow Dash that's who! I was cool, I was awesome, I was radical and that was a scientifically proven fact. Trust me, I've got a certificate framed up in my bedroom wall signed by Princess Celestia herself.

Okay, maybe that last was a line, but still! There was no way in Tartarus any pony would ever think about turning down a piece of flank as hot as this one right here. Winner of the Hottest Mare in Equestria three times running by a mile, not to mention my total domination in all polls, as well as all the fanfillies lining up for a piece of me, and I was most certainly the most desired pony ever.

Tick, tock, tic...

There was absolutely zero doubt in my mind she would say yes. I mean, we all knew she was into mares despite her completely inability to find a date and I was the hottest mare. And coolest, can't believe I almost forgot coolest. So it was QUD right? Or was it QAD? QED? Something like that, I dunno. Some egghead thing she always says when she proves a point.

Whatever.

The point was she was going to say yes and that was that.

...k, to...

Hey wait, was that a new vase she got? Yeah, I think it was. Heh, it was way better than that old thing of hers with the flower pattern and cracks running everywhere. I swear, she had to fix that thing about three times a week thanks to me and Spike. Yeah, those were the days. Maybe I should go visit AJ afterwards and see what she's been up to lately.

Oh, and to rub in her face that I totally got the hottest mare in Equestria to be my wife.

...ck...

"Yes."

My heart froze as I stared at her, unable to comprehend what it was she just said.

"Yes!"

I suddenly found myself on the floor, with a very ecstatic mare on top of me. Sure, it wasn't our normal deal, but buck, I wasn't about to start complaining.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"

We just lay there, hooves around each other with dopy smiles on our faces. There was no need to talk, to break the silence for it was so perfect. Everything just felt so surreal, so crazy, as though it was straight from one of those cheesy romance novels Rarity loves so much.

"D-Dashie? Are you crying?"

"Of course I am." I nuzzled her tenderly. "You just made me the happiest mare alive."
