//------------------------------// // Twidash // Story: A Gift for One // by SmilingKittens //------------------------------// The clock said it was eight o'clock. The calendar said it was Hearts and Hooves Day. Rainbow Dash said she was tired. She was asleep in her bed, like a normal Saturday. Well, until a knock at the door. She got up, still tired and groggy, and went to the door. She opened it to find Twilight there, with saddlebags on her back. "Oh, hey Twilight! You're lucky you're cute, or I would've punched you for waking me up early." Twilight giggled. "I know you wouldn't do that anyways. Happy Hearts and Hooves Day!" "You too, Twi," Dash responded. "What are planning to do?" Twilight always had a plan for days like today, and she braced herself. Twilight smiled, "Right! I brought four movies to watch over the course of the day, with three different board games, including Hooftales, Monopony, and, of course, Uno! I also brought soft blankets for us to lay under, and I know it isn't the right holiday, but here!" She picked up a piece of holly. "Isn't it supposed to be mistletoe?" Twilight blushed. "Oh! Here it is!" she lifted the correct one and pecked Dash on the lips. After they broke the kiss, Rainbow Dash wondered. "What about food?" Twilight's smile diminished. "Oh no! Today is ruined! I could have brought snacks! Oh, Rainbow! I'm so so so so so sorry!" "Hey, don't worry, I just went shopping yesterday; I have food." Twilight sighed in relief and went further inside the cloud home. "What are we doing first again?" "We have to watch the new Daring Do movie, duh!" Twilight said. "You have it?" Rainbow exclaimed. That movie just came out that morning! Many stores weren't even open! "I'm not trying to brag, but being a princess has its perks," she said softly. She blushed as Rainbow Dash hugged her and took the disk. She inserted it into her DVR and hit play. There wasn't much modern pony technology for now, so Dash was lucky to have a DVR. The movie started playing in the background as Twilight set up Uno. They had went to the movie as a date at least three times, so they didn't even have to watch it to know what was going on. They continued their first game, yet not for very long. Rainbow Dash had three cards left when Twilight shouted, "Uno!" Of course, her last card was a pick a color card so she automatically won, but Twilight was the one pony she wasn't competitive against. They played many more rounds until they were tied even. They shook hooves for a good game and then moved unto Monopony. Twilight was the master at this game, considering she was big into politics and stuff. Rainbow Dash never went down without a fight, though, and she went a majority of the game in the lead. Twilight still won, though, but the difference in bits was closer than usual. Her winning wan't surprising, as Rainbow Dash has extremely bad luck in always landing on the 'go to jail' space. She would always laugh it off, though, because it would make Twilight laugh too. Her laugh sounded like honey, if honey had a sound, that is. They then moved onto Hooftales. The goal of the game is to get the most points. They each got one stack of cards with random phrases, and for good measure, one that they each wrote at the bottom of the pile for the end. They would draw a sentence card and then flip down their top card. They would then decide which one was funnier. Once their piles were gone, the one with more points won. It was a complete game of luck. Rainbow Dash flipped up the first card. Summer days are more fun with.... Twilight's card read: "a green kangaroo kicking your chest," and Dash's read: "a murder or two." The two cracked up at Dash's and continued to play. In the end, all that was left was their custom cards. They already knew the question, which was: Can I ask you a silly question? Twilight's read: "What's the number for 911?" and Dash's read..... Twilight gasped as she read it and Rainbow Dash took out a ring. "Will you marry me?" it read. Twilight quickly nodded and kissed Rainbow Dash. Her horn lit up as they looked up and saw a piece of holly. "Oh! Wrong one!"
