I grab a few cupcakes and start munching down as the room fills with people. Rainbow gets pulled away and through the crowd by each of her teams and fan groups. Not a celebrity, sure. Trixie and Lavender soon join me at the treats table, along with the adorable couple of Lyra and BonBon.
“You look so pretty tonight Harmony! You don't usually dress up this much for party's.” Lyra says, admiring Rarity’s handiwork.
“Rarity insisted I wear this, she did my hair and everything.” I twirl a bit of my hair as I answer, wondering if they've noticed Rainbow's dress yet.
“Rarity? I wasn't aware you knew Rarity personally.” BonBon questions suspiciously, I can tell her mind was working to figure out what she heard and where.
Lavender, however, decided to point out the answer before BonBon could reach it. “Oh just since she's been ‘just friends’ with Rainbow Dash.” BonBon and Lyra share a gasp and a look. All I do is blush, and shift my feet. Trixie gives me a look when I start twirling my hair.
“Trixie thinks there is more to know. Trixie insists on knowing what her friend is keeping from her!” She exlaims, putting her hands on her hips and staring me down. I look around and realize there is nowhere to escape.i will never live this down.
“W-well...I'm sure you all can guess. I mean, I don't really have to say it for you to know you were right do I?” I say, watching Rainbow be mingled across the room. She turns around and waves at me, which I return. All of my friends stare at me in a very familiar look that means I do, indeed, have to say it. “Fine, we're dating, happy now?” They all nod and chatter about it, allowing me to slip out of the party for some fresh air.
When I get out there the stars are all out, shining as brightly as when the Friendship games began. “Looks like your wish came true, huh?” Rainbow says from behind me. I'm not surprised this time, after all she would've come here to find me at some point.
“And then some.” I say, turning to her. Rarity's dress does look really good on her, though it still isn't quite Rainbow's style. “You look amazing in that by the way.” I take a few steps closer to her when I say that. “That doesn't take much though.” Another step.
“Of course not, I'm naturally amazing. The dress isn't really my style though, I think it fits your image much better.” She steps forward this time, and grabs my hands.
“Hey Dashie I know you're probably super duper busy with Harmony but I sort of told everyone that the Rainbooms would perform tonight so you know. Come in as soon as you're done kissing her!” Pinkie bluntly interrupts with before heading back inside as quickly as she came. Rainbow blushes and steps back a little. I’m just about to close the gap again when Pinkie pops her head back out. “As long as it's, you know, soon!”
“Go back inside Pinkie!” Rainbow and I yell at the same time. I step forward again.
“I should probably go do that.” She says.
“Probably.” I agree. She looks at me for a few more seconds before starting to walk away. I quickly catch up with her and grab her hand. “One thing first.” She stops and turns to me, whispering ‘anything’. I lean forward and kiss her, well on the cheek at least. I'm not that brave yet. “I'll be inside to watch the performance in a few minutes, I just want to enjoy the night a bit first.” Rainbow nods and heads in, only slightly blushing. I turn around and glance up at the stars again.
When I make it back inside The Rainbooms are already on stage. I push to the front of the crowd, not an easy feet with how much everyone loves them. Rainbow winks at me, and Pinkie waves one of her drumsticks. I give a little wave and let myself get lost in the performance.
They pause for a few minutes to decide upon their next song, and everyone disperses. Someone taps me on the shoulder, and I turn around to notice Twilight.
“Hello, I'm Twilight! I thought I should probably make your acquaintance since your girlfriend helped save me, and well, everyone.” She says, smiling kindly while rubbing her arm.
“Harmony Glade, nice to meet you.” I say, holding out my hand. Her handshake was...professional at most. Which isn't a bad thing, but it is a bit too formal for a normal introduction. “But uh...how did you find out so fast about me and Rainbow?” I ask her, raising my eyebrow.
Rainbow jumps down off the stage and lands next to me. “That's a silly question. Rarity's been boasting all night about how she got us together, and about how great her dresses are, of course.” Rainbow says, nudging me with her shoulder. Twilight confirms that she did, indeed, hear it from Rarity.
“That does sound like her.” I agree.
