Proposal - LightningDust

Author: LightningDust

Prompt: Proposal

---

As far as trees go it was a nice tree. I mean it wasn't exactly too tall or very impressive, but it was nice. I might be thinking too much into it. Pinkie and I've been coming here for months now; I guess it has some sentimental value to it.

Granted Pinkie is far better at climbing it than me. She kind of leaps from branch to branch like a spring board whereas I struggle to pull myself up onto the first branch without a helping hoof. However once we get to the top we just sit there, looking out across the shores of Lake Saddle.

We don’t really talk much, we just sit there. It’s hard to explain but sometimes it’s nice to enjoy each other’s company. That came off more cliché that I was hoping for. I guess that’s something ponies in love do.

And yes, Pinkie and I have been going out for some time now. And yes again, I asked her.

So here we are again, sitting out in this tree looking out across the glittering lakeside, the grass a silky gold. Pinkies face had her usual smile etched on her face, although it was far more calm and relaxed. Most unexpected however was when her eyes shot opened and she leapt to her hooves.

“Oh oh oh, I almost forgot! I got something for you today Twi and I know you’ll just love it. “She bounced happily up and down on the branch, forcing me to quickly cling onto it at fear of tumbling to an unfortunate death.

“Ah... Pinkie.”

“Oops, sorry Twi! What was I saying again? That’s right; close your eyes!” Her smile reached from ear to ear, barley containing her excitement without bouncing till the branch snapped.

“Alright, eyes are shut.” I closed my eyes and listened for what happened next. I’m a bit surprised when I hear Pinkie climb off further up the tree, her weight easing off the branch. If I could see the look on my face it would probably be rather confused.

“No peeking!” Okay so she isn’t as far away as I thought. Maybe a few branches up, but it’s hard to tell without sneaking a look.

“Okay, you can open them.” But taking my first look I could see nothing, just a bunch pine needles. But from above dipped Pinkie Pie, hanging onto the branch above her with her hooves. Her mane was flopped from her peculiar upside-down position, forcing me to giggle slightly. In Pinkies mouth was gripped a small box, her voice muffled by the funny object.

“Swupwize!”

Then it dawned on me. Actually that’s an understatement; it hit me like a sonic rainboom. The Watergates open and my eyes start to well up. Despite how silly she looked with her mane like it was and hanging from a branch she was so adorable.

“Twilite, woub yu marre me pweabe?”

Lifting a slow hoof I took the small box from her mouth. I flicked back to lid and draw small a gasp. The jewel was carved into the shape of a six pointed star shining a brilliant pink and lined with sparkling silver and gold. Levitating the precious item from its box I liet it slip down to its resting place upon my horn.

“Yes… I do, I do! I do!” I couldn’t hold back. I practically leap at her, planting my lips on hers and drawing her into this kiss further. It’s messy and awkward, what with her being upside down and all, but I love every moment of it. I love her.

We separated from our intimate session to gaze into each other’s eyes, unable to fully break the lock we had. Eventually Pinkie broke the silence with a small giggle, earning one from me in return.

“Love you Twi.”

“I love you too Pinkie.”

“So who’s gonna tell the others.”

“I think we can wait a while to tell them while you’re still here.”

“Does that mean I can stop hanging upside down?”

Another one I really like. Both Twi and Pinkie seemed a step beyond being in character, especially Pinkie. I could totally see her doing every single little action here, especially her simple but silly and sweet proposal. It got a big smile out of me. Though...

Fix this?

This one was adorable. I absolutely loved how you portrayed Pinkie. The way she proposed to Twilight was a very cute gesture that, had I not known the prompt title was proposal, I wouldn't have known what was to come. The only thing I had a problem with was how Pinkie spoke when she had things in her mouth. The way it was written didn't really hit home with me, though I understand what was going on. Overall, a cute entry, with minor errors. Good job!

A nice snapshot of their relationship. I personally think that Pinkie would have had a more bombastic reaction to even the idea of a proposal, but hanging upside down from a tree is certainly unexpected! And Pinkie should be anything but expected.

My heart exploded twice!
Then I died of a lack of blood flow.
