I awoke in a hospital bed. I looked over to see Dash slouched down asleep in a chair beside me. On my other side was a table with flowers and balloon sitting on it. I sat up and cringed at the pain in my side. Dash opened her eyes and sat up. A smile spread across her face as she saw me awake. She hopped up and helped me.
"You should try not to move so much. You're like, fifty percent bandages right now." She said.
"Funny. How long was I out?" I asked.
"About two days." She said.
"Wow. I feel like I've been hit by a bag of bricks." I said.
"You're lucky that's all that's wrong. The doctors didn't think you'd recover from Chrysalis's poison." She said.
"Pssh. It takes more than a little bit of poison to kill this pegasus. What happened after I blacked out?" I asked.
"Well, after the flash of light, there was just a charred spot on the ground where she had been standing. Then, we rushed to the Canterlot hospital for treatment." She replied.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yes. I'm fine. Just a bruise on my neck is all." She said.
I noticed my jacket hanging on my bed post. I reached into the pocket and pulled out the black box Luna had given me. I rolled it around in my hand.
"What's that?" Dash asked.
"It's a present from Luna." I said as I mustered my courage.
"Dash. I realized something that day. If we're ever in another life threatening situation, I'd like it to be with you as my..." I paused as I opened the box for her to see its contents. "... my wife." I finished.
At first she just stared at the ring with a surprised look on her face. I started to get worried. She slowly took the ring and slid it on her finger. A huge smile spread over her face as she pulled me in for a kiss.
"Gah! Easy." I said as she pressed a little hard on my bandages.
"So, that's a yes?" I asked.
"Well, duh. What was I going to do? Say no? You've saved my life, twice." She replied.
There was a gasp from the doorway.
"I knew you two were getting married." Pinkie said.
"Yes, Pinkie. We are. So, go spread the word. Also, have Rarity come by. I need to talk to her." I said as Pinkie hopped away.
"You should help her plan it. Make sure she doesn't go overboard." I said.
"What about you?" She asked.
"I'll be fine. Give me about a week to recover. Then, we'll tie the knot." I said as I pulled her in for another kiss.
She left to go after Pinkie. I wasn't feeling well, so I went back to sleep. I woke up the next day just as Rarity was coming into the room.
"Oh, I'm sorry if I woke you Darling." She said.
"No, it's fine. I can't sleep all the time anyway." I said.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" She asked.
I pulled my sword over and handed her the sheath. It was made of a black almost leather material.
"Do you think you can replicate this material and make my tux out of this?" I asked.
She took it and studied the material.
"Hmm. It'll be tough, but I think I can, darling. What's so special about this material to have it as your tux?" She asked.
"Just a little precaution. Nothing to worry yourself with." I said.
She just shrugged.
"Will you be better in time for the wedding next week?" She asked.
"Of course. I'm not going to miss my own wedding. Besides, I heal quickly." I said.
"Marvelous, darling. I will see you there then." She said as she left.
The rest of the week went by quickly.
