~~~ Last Time ~~~

Sometime after the maid left. The two finally stopped their mutual first kiss, which both Solarium and Twilight were blushing fiercely at what they just did.

~~~ And now we return... ~~~

As the two continued to blush, Twilight began to realize that the maid was gone. She began searching for the maid only to see the rest of the Royal family's standing where they were. "You gotta be kidding me."

At hearing what Twilight said Solarium turned towards where she was looking. Only to see the rest of his family standing there. "Really, I can see mother and Luna doing this, but you father, really?"

Seeing that they were caught, all three began to chuckle nervously. The first one to speak was his mother. "But it was just so precious when you two shared that kiss together."

"I have to agree with your mother Solarium."

"I have to go with them on this as well, sorry dear brother and to you as well Twilight."

At hearing this Solarium and Twilight blushed even more so than they did before. They kept this up until Twilight cleared her throat. "Solarium I think we need to talk."

Looking back to Luna Artemis and Cosmos she added in. "Alone."

Solarium nodded in agreement and the two started heading off. To his bed chambers in the Canterlot Castle.

~~~~

That however didn't stop the rest of the Royal family from being snoopy. Artemis led Cosmos and Luna to his and Cosmos's bed chambers. Where he pulls out a crystal ball Luna was, puzzled at seeing this crystal ball. She never saw it before. "Father, what is that crystal ball for?"

At hearing the question Artemis began to chuckle. "Did you really think your mother and I did not supervise you at all times when you were living at Canterlot Castle? Especially what you two did behind your bed chamber doors, this crystal ball is a viewing crystal ball for your brother's bed chambers. I keep tabs on this one since I'm a stallion like your brother. Meanwhile, your mother keep tabs on you with her crystal ball."

Luna's mouth was agape from hearing this as well and made a mental note, to make certain she never does something inappropriate in her bed chambers in Canterlot. Ever. But soon Artemis turned on the crystal ball and instead of just allowing him to look into the crystal ball, he made a projection to show them all what was going on in Solarium's bed chambers.

~~~ On the screen / in Solarium's bed chambers... ~~~

"So, Twilight what is it you want to talk about?"

"Mainly us and the whole kissing under the mistletoe thing."

At hearing this Solarium began to blush again before Twilight continued. "Look, I will admit in my time frame. I did have a little crush on you. But never pursued it, because of reasons which I will not go into detail. That made me think that you would never be, interested in a mare like me. I thought I was able to get over my crush for you a long time ago. When I had the crush I was a filly for ponies sake! But the time we spent together in this timeframe and the small gestures you've done that seem to be only to be nice. Somehow brought those feelings back and even stronger than they were when I was little. But even though I the never had romantic relationship with you in my timeframe. We do have a very strong, unique bond of friendship and I don't want it to become all awkward and such. When I return, back to my time and I know I will have to return to my time. Because there is no Alicorn going by the name of Twilight Shimmer. So there is that I just don't want things to be awkward in the future. So I don't know what to do."

At hearing this Solarium walked up towards her, lifted her chin up with one of his four hooves and kiss her once more. Which the two felt the same fiery passion they did under the mistletoe. They kept at this until they parted lips once more and Solarium began to speak. "Listen, I know that things are very, complex at the moment right now. I know that things are going to be just as complex if not even more so when you return to your time. But I make this promise to you. If we do start dating and Star Swirl finds a way to send you back to your time and you go back. We will just continue dating when you return to your time if we break up. I will not let it affect the relationship we have in your time. And if somehow we end up getting married here in this time. I'll wait for you in your time we can make this work I promise. Just give me a chance to prove it."

Twilight thought about it for moment old thoughts were racing in debating. About whether or not she should even give Solarium a chance. She thought about what Solarium just said, and what Luna told her. Seeing that what the two said were pretty much the same thing at this point, she just side in defeat. "I still do not know whether or not this is a good idea."

At hearing this Solarium ears folded back and was about to say something until Twilight interrupted. "But I am willing to give this a chance."

At hearing this Solarium ears perked up and smiled. "You won't regret this Twilight I promise."

The two embraced in a hug. And true to his word Twilight did not regret it.

~~~ Back with the rest of the family... ~~~

At seeing this Luna, Artemis and Cosmos began cheering until Artemis cleared her throat. "All right, we will act surprised when they announce they are dating. What happened in this room stays in this room got it."

The two nodded in agreement and the three went their own separate ways.

~~~ Later... ~~~

Everyone regrouped in the dining room when it was supper time. Solarium and Twilight decided that was best to just let him know now, since they probably were suspicious on it anyway, so Solarium cleared his throat. "I got something to say Twilight and I are now officially dating."

Everyone at the table cheered and the Castle staff that heard, were first in shock. Before starting the cheer as well Before the young couple. At this point, Artemis decided to pull a little joke on the new couple. "Oh, we put all of Twilight things in your room or leave it in her guest room?"

At hearing this, the two started blushing fiercely and Solarium can help but yell at his father. "WE ARE JUST STARTING TO DATE EACH OTHER! DON'T YOU THINK THAT IT'S A LITTLE SOON FOR US SHARING A BED TOGETHER!"

At this moment Luna decided to join the conversation. "But you two already shared a bed at night."

At hearing this their parents looked towards Solarium. Meanwhile, Stars swirl was having a coughing fit since this was the first time he had heard of it. This all caused Solarium to blush even further and he decided to answer with the reason why it had happened. "That only been because, Twilight had a panic attack and you went and took her into my room. While knowing for a fact that if I calm her down she would end up falling asleep. And we couldn't risk wakeing her up. Because we could not afford her going back in her panic attack now could we?"

At hearing this their parents looked back towards Luna who was now blushing and embarrassed. So after they all continue eating their supper and recited to bed.
