 contains human x Rarity  




there was a cool breeze on the horizon. 
the sun beat down on the grassy park. kids were as per usual playing and doing whatever it is that kids do.
the twanging of strings and conversations being made were coming from a tree. sunlight being filtered through the leaves.
i simply relaxed with a guitar in my hands. watching Pinkie pie with her new Coltfriend. 
always knew the guy would finally get up of his flank and get her. Rarity was laid on her back, sunning herself.
"you know dear, thats a bit of a bad idea" i said with a slight chuckle.
"what is darling?" she asked.
"you've white fur and you're lying outside in the sun? are you trying to cook yourself?"
she didn't say anything. 
"stay there, if I can get this right, i'll be able to cook an egg on your sexy little flank" i smiled.
ever since my first arrival here, i've been feared, revered, and finally respected. 
and now...
i'm loved. 

there were many obstacles in my path, but i got over them with a little help.
"if you even try it, i know a certain Human who won't be getting any tonight" she giggled.
within a few moments i had successfully re-tuned my acoustic. now sitting there next to my alabaster lover.
she looked up and smiled, "learnt anything new?" 
i shrugged my shoulders and began playing a cheerful 12 bar blues scale.

the world went by slowly, i looked down to Rarity. 
she had dozed off. so i simply watched the peaceful rhythm of her breath.
looking up i noticed the sun was slowly setting. the peaceful light blue sky  slowly becoming different hues of pink and orange as the sun drifted off in the horizon.

i stopped playing as Rarity awoke from her slumber.
"hey, i thought i told you to wake me up if i" I shushed her as i pointed up at the spectacle before me.
"beautiful isnt it?" i smiled. she simply looked up at me as a small tear rolled down her cheek. 
she simply nodded.
i placed the guitar down next her side. 

"Rarity, i've been doing alot of thinking recently," i took a deep breath as she turned to me.
i fumbled around in my coat pockets, having made enough money to buy it. 
"and i know we've only been together for what... a year and a half? but... ah..." 
finally pulling out the box, she stood up in front of me. 
"...Rarity, Will you Marry me?"
i opened the box, a simple bangle with a simple inscription.


my shimmering diamond


She stood there, unmoving. almost as if time itself had stopped. 
then i saw the floodgates open as she repeatedly said "yes"
i placed the bangle on her foreleg, she jumped on top of me, showering me with kisses.
i then passionately kissed her back. 

the moon had finally taken its place among the stars. 
the moonlight reflected off of Rarity's alabaster coat as i carried her home. 
she was giggling happily. 

soon, i'd have a family again.
and for the first time.... i'd have a beautiful wife to come home to everyday.
