“Let’s get this party started!”
Love is in bloom.
A beautiful bride, a handsome groom,
Two hearts becoming one
A bond that cannot be undone
Everypony was laughing and dancing, Twilight and Eclipse singing a duet together as the party went on. While Twilight had been the best mare for the wedding, Eclipse had been the maid of honour, in celebration of her return. She had been formally introduced to Luna, since she had left before Luna had come back.
Cadance had found Eclipse an elegant smoky grey and gold dress that she was currently wearing, Rarity having dressed up Crevdar in a black tux.
Eclipse glances to Crevdar, a small grin splaying on her lips. She tosses her mic to Pinkie, who easily catches it.
With her... tail?
...
Eclipse has decided not to question it.
Eclipse balanced on her hind hooves, spinning as she grins, holding out her hoof to Credvar. Crevdar simply blinks. “What-?”
“Come on, dance with me!”
Crevdar chuckles sheepishly. “N-no, I’d rather-”
He doesn’t get to finish his sentence as Fang shoves him towards the black unicorn. Eclipse grabs Crevdar’s hoof as he glares back at his friend, though soon finds himself laughing with Eclipse as the party goes on.
“Did you see Fluttershy taking Twilight back to her room? I swear that pony can’t hold her punch! She was passed right out!”
“Don’t forget Applejack having to drag Rarity back to her room, I think the punch was making her too emotional. Applejack seems to able to hold her punch just fine, though.”
“I’m blaming cider on that one.”
“Also, did you notice Rainbow sneaking off with Soarin?”
“Soarin? You mean the Wonderbolt Soarin?!”
“Mmhmm. I think there’s something between them~”
The two ponies burst out laughing. Crevdar and Eclipse were sitting at a table, observing what remained of the party. Most ponies had left, but some remained and the music still played.
“Wait...” Crevdar looks around. “Where did Pinkie go?”
“She’s over there with Fang.” Eclipse states, pointing to the pink pony.
Crevdar follows to where she was pointing. Pinkie was just in front of the sound system, fast asleep and cuddling up to Fang, who was also sleeping. The sight made the two ponies burst out laughing.
Eclipse wipes a tear from her eye. “That will be awkward when they wake up tomorrow!”
The two calm down as they watch they watch the remainder of the party, silence overcoming them.
“...Rose.”
Crevdar looks to Eclipse, confused. “What?”
Eclipse sighs, looking up to the moon. “Crystal Rose. That... was my name. Before I became a demon.”
“...Before?”
Eclipse nods. “I wasn’t always a demon. I was a pony once, long ago.”
“What happened to make you change?”
“I promised Twilight that I would explain everything tomorrow. I’d rather wait until then to tell you as well.”
Crevdar gives a small nod. Silence overtakes them once more, Crevdar using the time to study Eclipse closer. Her blood red main flows gently in the breeze, her golden yellow eyes reflecting in the light of the moon, the moonlight making her shine beautifully.
Crevdar can feel heat rising to his cheeks as he looks away, not wanting to be caught staring. He couldn’t deny she was beautiful, as well as kind, and sweet.
His ear twitches, noticing the music slowing down to a slowdance song. Crevdar pauses for a moment, a small idea forming in his head.
He stands, catching the attention of Eclipse. He walks so he stands in front of her, holding out his hoof. “May I have this dance?”
Eclipse stares at him form a few moments before a small smile makes its way onto her face. “Of course.”
She takes Crevdar’s hoof. He smiles, leading them to dance floor. Carefully, they stand on their hind legs, Eclipse placing on hoof on his shoulder as she takes his hoof, Crevdar placing his free hoof on her waist. They soon start to dance to the music, swaying to the rhythm.
Crevdar blushes slightly, looking away from Eclipse. “You look... lovely.”
Eclipse gives a gentle laugh. “You’re looking handsome, yourself.”
The comment makes the blush on Crevdar’s face worsen, as he mumbles a quiet “thank you.”
A pause comes between them. Crevdar lets out a breath, looking into Eclipse’s golden yellow hues. “E-Eclipse... listen, I, uh... I-”
Eclipse blinks, using her magic to shush him. “If you cannot use words to tell me, use your actions instead.”
Her magic fades, Crevdar blinking slightly. He closes his eyes, leaning in. Eclipse’s eyes flutter close as she leans in as well, their lips connecting.
The kiss was soft and sweet. Not needy, but loving. No words were needed, as they both expressed all they needed in the kiss.
