~~~ Last Time (We were in the present. [Chapter 15])~~~


"You're welcome. I would love to stay and chat, but I got to prepare. The Celestia No longer is being a mare. But is now going back to her stallion form and calling herself Solarium once more again party bye."



And with that Pinkie disappeared. Discord put the device in its protective casing. As soon as he was done he recalled what Pinkie said about Celestia. Which made him very curious about that so he turned back towards Luna to ask. "What did Pinkie mean by Celestia turning back into a stallion and who is Solarium?"


At hearing this Luna froze, but then answered his question. "I'm sorry but by Equestrian law I'm not allowed to talk about it. Only Celestia's allowed to talk about it, you'll have to ask her. Although I'm curious how Pinkie Pie knew that?"


At hearing this Discord started thinking that there was something he did not know about Celestia and he couldn't wait to hear the full scoop about it. So with a snap of his fingers. The two teleported to Canterlot Castle.



~~~ And now...~~~



Discord and Luna made it back to Canterlot Castle. They teleported right in front of Celestia only to find her going through very old document. Luna curious on what the documents were began to levitate one and read it over. Only to realize that they were the documents involving Solarium being Celestia. Which Discords curiosity overwhelmed him. So he wound over Luna's shoulder to read over her. "So Pinkie was telling the truth, our dear little Princess of the sun is really a prince."



At hearing this Celestia's head shot up staring at the two. "What do you mean Pinkie with telling the truth about me being a stallion?"



At hearing Celestia's question Luna gave to her a nervous smile. "Well, you see, when we were looking for the device. I made a comment about how much faster it would have been if Pinkie was there to help us look. Then out of nowhere she popped out and gave us the device were looking for. Then said that she need to start planning a party for you turning back into a stallion. I do not know how, but she knows that you're not really a mare."



At hearing this Celestia's mouth was agape, but then she composed herself. "Well, that's a little scary to hear. I am wondering if it involved her pinkie senses? Or if somehow her family had a written document about my time being a stallion?"



As soon as Discord heard this he gave mischievous smile. "So, Princess Prince when am I going to see your true self?"



"Sorry, Discord. But that's not going to happen until the Council are presented. Then I have to inform the news media about this. And more importantly not until Luna and my parents come to help sort this all out."



At hearing this Discord frowned. "Oh fine, but at lest tell me why do you have to go back to being a stallion now, and why did you became a mare in the first place?"



"I am not going to explain myself more than I need to Discord. If you want know you're going to have to wait until. Spike, Candace, Shining, the rest of the element bearers and Twilight's parents are here. I was hoping I would explain it all to all of you out once, then to the Council and then the news media. So will you be patient I just sent the letters to all of them. Including my parents, which I would recommend you be on your best behavior since my father is still mad about the whole Tirek incident. Might I add that he is more powerful than Luna and myself combined. He might actually be able to do some harm to you."



At hearing this Discord froze with fear on his face and began to chuckle nervously. "Right, good to know. Anyways, why don't I start putting the device together. So we can start analyzing the rainbow matrix gem I'll get on it right away."



And with that Discord started taking the analyzing device out of its casing and putting it together. So he could analyze the rainbow matrix gem to know how to work it properly. So they could undo the gem's effect...

Meanwhile, back in the past. The two got done eating their lunch, and Solarium gave Twilight some books to read outside while he finished preparation for Twilight's big surprise. Which she did so until supper time when Solarium came back out for her. "Twilight, it's supper time and I have the surprise ready for you."



At hearing this Twilight began to levitate the books that she was reading outside. "All right, back to the cabin then."



They made it back to the cabin as soon as they did. Solarium took hold of the books that Twilight with caring and placed them back on their respective shelves where he got them from, and guided Twilight to the dining room, and as soon as she entered she gasped in surprise. The table was set with white tablecloth with gold trimming with many types of foods and desserts. While all being, illuminated with candlelight. It looked like something you would read from an odd cheesy romance novel. She slowly turned back towards Solarium with her mouth agape. "Solarium, you know that we did not need to do something like this to make the trip romantic. Us spending time together here, Its romantic enough as is."



At hearing this Solarium ears flat. Thinking that he may have over did a little and made Twilight upset that was until she kissed him on the cheek. "But that doesn't mean I don't like this surprise."



At hearing this Solarium being. "Well then, shall we eat our candle lit dinner?"



"Lets."



The two sat down and began eating than supper, talking conversing with each other. By the time they got to their desert. They were laughing at each others jokes. Solarium could be very funny when he wanted to. Which made Twilight wonder why when Celestia tries to be funny the jokes would never make sense. Solarium loved the joke that Twilight was telling him. But in all truth, they were jokes that Pinkie had told her back in her time. Eventually Solarium cleared his throat. "I really enjoyed spending this weekend together, just the two of us."



At hearing this Twilight gave him at cheery smile. "I did take this place was so magical. Thank you so much for bringing me here, the whole experience was just amazing."



At hearing that Solarium smiled. "I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself. Listen, we got to know each other quite well since you came to this timeframe three years ago. I know that you have to return to your timeframe at some point."



At hearing this Twilight started to feel a little nervous. Thinking that Solarium was planning on breaking up with her something. Seeing this Solarium was nervous on what he was going to say next, but decided to press on. "But I want to look forward to something when you return to your time, so Twilight will you marry me?"



Right at that moment Solarium pulled out a ring that would matched the design as the infinity book. In the center was of fire opal shaped as the sun. With 4, 5 pointed amethyst stars to on each side of the sun gem. In the center of the sun six pointed rhodolite garnet star. But there was one unique thing that made it different to the infinity book. In the center of the six pointed star was on mystic topaz heart shape gem all on gold ring.



note the pictures of the gems are just to show what the colors look like the name of the gem is to the left of the picture of said gem.

At seeing this Twilight's mouth was agape the gears in her head stopped right there. But that didn't last long just as fast as her mind stopped, it began to race faster than Rainbow Dash doing a Sonic Rainboom. (Okay I know I'd just told my that I'm going to follow My heart but I did not see this one coming! What I'm I supposed to do? Okay calm down you need to first clear my mind. Okay now what is my heart telling me. Well I really do love Solarium and he loves me to and he knows that I will at some point go back to my time. But he is willing to wait for me when I do return to my time.)



When Twilight was thinking of the answer, she should give. Solarium was beginning to wonder if he popped the question a little too soon or not. But, as soon as he was going to speak happen twilight started giving him of loving smile. "Solarium my answer is yes I would love to marry you."



At hearing this Solarium gave out a Pinkie Pie smile. Before leaning in and kissing Twilight, while placing the ring on her horn. Which Twilight kiss back after they ended their kiss they decide to go to bed. They also agreed-upon not sharing a bed until after the wedding. So they were still sleeping in separate rooms.
