A Beautiful Night

Trust: Part Two

"Noooo!!!!" She screamed in shock, diving off the edge in a nose dive after him. Her thoughts were of him, she wanted to yell at him, wanted to know why he jumped, she wanted to hold him one last time if she couldn't grab him and pull up in time.

Tears blinded her sight, and she knew that this would be the end for both of them. So she closed her eyes, tears still streaming down her face thinking that she would just accept death if she could no longer be with the pony who had brought so much happiness into her dark and lonely days, then she felt hooves wrap around her and pulled her out of her dive. Why had somepony saved her, the first thought in her head was that it must have been a guard who had saved her, and thus letting Song fall to his demise. She now wanted more than ever to join him in the after life, she said she had trusted him, and he had put his trust into her, he probably wanted her to save him in order to test their relationship. He had died believing that she would save him, though now that trust was gone, the happiness that they shared, the laughter, the some what arguments that they had over the last six months now gone. As his body now laid broken on the ground.

"W-w-why did you save me?" She asked the pegasus and broke from their grasp, not looking at them.

"Why would i let my princess fall to her death?" The also familiar voice asked. She turned and saw him flying there in the air, right next to her.

"Y-you have wings?!" She asked in complete shock, as she looked at the wings. "And why do are your wings that of a butterfly's?" But before he could answer she tackled him, the relief flooding through her. But that relief quickly shifted to anger. "Don't you ever to scare me like that again." He returned the hug that she had wrapped him in when she tackled him. Though now she was crying into him, both tears of relief, anger, and the joy that she hadn't betrayed his trust.

"Come on, let's go back to our spot. I will explain everything once we get you calmed down." He told her, looking at her with such love, kindness, and concern that she just cried harder.

Once they get settled down, neither of them said anything. Though she knew he was waiting until she could hold down a conversation, but he held her in a comforting and warm hug. This did calm her down as she listen to the familiar beat of his heart. When she did stop crying, they stayed quiet still in the position. She again knew why he wasn't saying anything, this time it was because he was just making sure she was okay.

"Y-y-you have to tell me how you got those wings. I know you didn't have them before you ...you..." She tried to get the words out, but chocked on them. When she felt his hoof on his face and looked into his eyes, which told her that he knew and she didn't have to say it.

"Listen, you just need to remember that i made a promise, a vow to you. To protect you with my life, and i never break my vows." He said in a firm tone, though his eyes were filled with sadness.

"B-but, you need to make me another promise." He gave her a curious look. "Promise you will never leave me." She leaned in gave him a kiss.

"I promise." He said. "Now i'm sure your wondering about the wings?" She just gives him a nod. "Well it started when i went to go get my measurements for my tux. While i was there, i ran into Twilight and we got to talking. She had told me how she used a spell to give her friend Rarity wings. Though i did not think about it that much. That is until i got back, and your sister told me that you were looking forward to celebrating our six months of being together. I, umm, kind of panicked trying to find the perf...." She put up a hoof and gave a small chuckle.

"As did i, if we're being honest. That was until my sister gave me the idea to cook for you." She managed to say, even though she still had tears coming. This brought a surprised look to him, but she could tell that just by her smiling he was now happy.

"Well, as it turns out your sister told me about how much you wanted to fly with me." This made her give the shocked expression this time, but as they looked at each other they busted out laughing, all care and worry now far away. "But, unfortunately i dd not have the magic to cast the spell. So she gave me this amulet, and which she had said would grant the unicorn the power to cast one spell no matter how powerful it is, but she also said that it will only work once for each unicorn. So i used it to cast the spell, but again your sister told me that the spell would only work if i was in free fall." That's when she noticed the amulet around his neck, she had been so caught up about weather or not he liked the food that she didn't even notice. As she looked closer, she recognized it.

"
That's the wishing amulet, and i think i need to tell you this." She said looking from the amulet to his eyes. "I think my sister planned all of this, because you don't need to jump off a cliff in order for it to work." He was now giving her a cute confused look. "I think she just wanted to test our relationship, by giving me a heart attack." As she released a sigh of exasperation. "So how long you got them wings for?"

"Well, i got about a week. Your sister taught me a better spell, that strengthen the wings and gave me the knowledge of how to fly." He said getting over his confusion. "Hey i got a good idea, why don't we race to the palace and i'll tell you then. But only if you can beat me." Then he took off.

"Oh, its so on." She said with a smile on her face, and the determination to see what he was planning.

After completely crushing him she let him catch his breath. Just because the spell he used had given him wings, and the knowledge on how to use them, she still had years of practice and stamina. Though it was amazing to finally fly with her knight.

"Well i beat you here fair and square. so start telling me your plan." She said with a little bit of a gloating voice. He just looked up to her and gave his best defeated smile, and gave a small chuckle.

"Alright, but first let me give you your prize." He said now giving her a sly smile.

"And what prize is..." She felt his lips touch her, successfully cutting her off. This kiss was just so full of passion, and love that she couldn't help but get a shiver down her back. They stayed like that for a few minutes, neither one wanting it to end.

"Umm, yeah well let me tell you my plan." He said after breaking the kiss, though they were both disappointed about. "Well you said that your sister had did this in order to strengthen our relationship right?" She gave a nod, not knowing were he was going with this. "Okay then, here's what we do...." As he told her his plan she was shocked about how clever it was. Not that she didn't find him clever, but the plan almost seemed like what her sister might think of. Even if this plan had been done to death, so just before sunrise they entered into the palace and set everything into motion.

-------------

"How could i trust you after trying to take you own life?" She asked with anger in her voice.

"Look like i said, i was told that the only way for me to cast the spell was if i felt adrenaline, because i don't have enough magic power on my own." He yelled back.

"And it never crossed your mind that i could have cast the spell?" Again, raising her voice.

"No i didn't, because i figured you didn't know it. And also i figured i surprise you." He snapped back.

"Oh and what a surprise it was, seeing you jump off the cliff like that, and don't you think i would have been better to teach me the spell if i didn't know it?" She yelled yet again. "You know what, why don't you just go, and never come back."

"Luna, Song what's all of this about? I thought you two would have been cuddled up together by now." Celestia finally intervened.

"You stay out of this sister, your the one who gave him the spell and amulet, and then told him to jump off the cliff." She yelled at her sister, which got a shocked and concerned look.

"Hey, don't go blaming your sister. Yeah she was the one who put the idea into my head, but i'm the one who had made up their mind on doing it." By this time, everypony had been shocked into silence. As when the couple had entered and were arguing Celestia was having a meeting with a royal guard captain.

"I thought i told you to leave." Luna's attention switched back to him and gave a dirty look, that was enough to make him cower in fear a little.

"Alright fine, if that's how you want it." He snapped while leaving.

"It is, and remember never to come back." She had said stomping out of the room, but as soon as she was out of sight a smile crept to her face. That had gone down perfectly.

Before leaving to go to their rondevu she got ready, and once there they talked about how great it was to finally get her sister back. They decided to get back together after a few hours, but her sister didn't know that. And she was going to milk this for all of its worth.

Later that day, her sister came to her knocking on her door. She quickly put on an expression of one that was mixed with anger, and pain. Then she opened the door slightly to pretend not to know who it was.

"Oh, its you." She said in a harsh tone.

"Please Luna, do not be mad at him. As you said i was the one who pushed him into what he did. And i'm sorry for all the teasing that i did, i just thought that the experience would push you two closer." Her sister said still being on the other side of the door. Though when she looked, she could see that her sister was upset with herself.

"Well you were wrong. Let me ask you this, how do you think i would react when i see the only thing that brought me true happiness just jump off a cliff? Not knowing if i would be fast enough to catch him? What if the spell or amulet didn't work, do you honestly think i could stand to lose that happiness so quickly? And you do have a point, i should be mad at you." She said then slamming the door. "Man that felt good." She said under her breath.

"Luna i am so sorry, i didn't mean to put this rift between you two." She heard her sister say.

"Well thanks, but now its to late. My one happiness that i never wanted to leave is gone now." She yelled trying to sound like she was about to cry.

"I'll make it up to you, i promise that i will fix this." Then she heard her sister walking away, and she couldn't help but to look. She saw her sister hanging her head in shame, something she never thought she actually see with her own eyes. Though this made her feel guilty about the whole thing now.

"Guards, if my sister comes back tell her that i am asleep, and don't tell her where i am if she discovers that i am not here anymore." She said in a commanding tone.

"Yes Ma'm." The two guards said in unison. She knew she could trust these two, as she picked them herself. Then she took off to their usual spot.

"So did it work?" He asked as she stepped down onto the ledge.

"Yes, it did but...." She trailed off thinking of her sister hanging head in shame.

"But your feeling guilty?" He finished.

"How did you know what i was thinking?" She answered.

"To me your an open book, that and being how i always try to make others smile i also feel guilty about it. So do you want to kiss and make up?" He asked with guilt in his voice.

"Yeah, i do. But can it wait, i just want to fly with you for a little while." She looked down in embarrassment, but she could feel his stare that let her know that is exactly what he wanted to do.

So they took off, and seeing him enjoy this flight more than their race brought a smile on her face. She finally could share the thrill of flying with the one she loved. When she caught him starting at her, and had a big smile on his face, she blushed. Though she knew that part of the reason why he was smiling was because he now knew that thrill, and the other part was because he always loved to see her smile.

"So, are you enjoying yourself, my prince?' She asked, again feeling that thrill that she was having from finally having a special somepony to share this with. Yes she could go fly with her sister, or one of her new friends, but she knew it wouldn't feel the same.

"Yeah, its amazing. I wish i could do this forever." He said with his smile, which quickly faded. "But i can't." This had made her slow down a little.

"Even if it isn't permanent i would still like to show you all i can. There are so many things i want to do, but time is not our friend this time." Though she hated to bring up their immortality, since the way he had been brought into it.

"Hey, what's wrong?" She heard him ask with concern.

"Oh, its nothing let's just continue enjoying ourselves." She was thankful that he didn't press. His past was one of horrible circumstance. So why would somepony who had gone through what he did would they want in life right now is to make others smile. Someday they would have to talk about it, but for right now she wanted to spend as much time in the air as possible.

They ended up at the palace, and they didn't notice who was watching them. Though her sister did not say a word until she absolutely knew that they hadn't noticed her. Celestia had realized their plan a little bit after she discovered that he little sister was not in her room anymore.

"So, i take it you two made up then?" The sudden question from behind surprised them both.

"Uhh, yeah we talked it over and got back together." Song had said nervously.

"Huh- uh. So did you two make up in bed then?" Her sister asked sheepishly.

"Sister please, and no we just talked it out." Her voice came out a squeak from the embarrassment.

"Well good, then i guess i don't have to take your wings back then." Celestai said with a wink. "I think i'll leave you two alone, and oh Luna my dear sister?" She looked at her sister nervously. "I found that extra one in your top left drawer." That made her sister laugh, as Luna's mouth hung open trying to form words, but none came.

"So, were you planning to take me to your bed tonight?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"Oh no, don't you start to. I already get enough of that from her." She said looking in the direction her sister had walked. They walked into her room, and just to tease her more he snooped into her top left drawer.

"Oh my, what are these?" He asked with his cheeks reddening.

"Get out of there, and their nothing." She said tackling him away.

"Oh i think these are something, it looks like you did a little shopping for some new cloths." He said giving a laugh at how distraught she had become. "So, when were you going to try these on anyway?" He asked.

"Well, uhh, ummm, i wasn't planning to wear them unless you wanted me to." She looked away not wanting to look at him.

"You know your awfully cute when you get this way." He said while making her look at him, and gave her a small peck on the nose. "But i'm afraid your fashion show for me will have to wait, i got to get home." As he said it he gave her a big yawn.

"Right, we need to umm, sleep. You could just sleep here again." Though she found her floor tiles interesting.

"Are you sure, you know we're never going to here the end of it from your sister." He said, though she knew that he didn't care. He was excited by the idea, and she could tell that by the look in his eyes.

"I know, but that's why your going to sleep on the couch." She said, and gave out a laugh at his somewhat over dramatic hurt face.

"Why, do you honestly think i would be so forward?" He asked in a mock hurt.

"Oh from what i remember you were the one who got me into your bed." She knew she had won.

"Fine, but can you, uhh, try one on?" He asked, looking away but she saw where he pointed.

She had picked one that she really liked, and when she came out of the bathroom his mouth dropped. She walked up to him, and gave him a big kiss. Though she could still feel his stare, she decided to have a little fun, and she teased him by stretching a little.

"You know that bed looks awfully comfy." He said with a loud gulp.

"Yes it is, and so is the couch." She replied.

"Don't you get lonely in that big bed by yourself?" He asked, trying desperately now to at least be near her. Though she knew he wouldn't make a move unless she was alright with it.

"But why would i be lonely tonight when your sleeping on the couch?" She asked laying the teasing on thick now, for she took on a more seductive tone.

"Uhh, you know what this couch is pretty comfy, but i think i'll take a shower first." He said quickly running to her bathroom, and as she heard what she knew was cold water she couldn't help but laugh.

For the next week they spent most of there free time flying with each other, and it still sent a thrill down her. But today was the end of the spell, so she planned to do something special for him. So she packed up everything she needed, and wrote him a letter telling to met her on a cloud that hung just outside the city.

"Make sure Song get's this." She said to a mail mare. They had until mourning until he lost his wings, and though it was dirty she had always wanted to do this with one she loved so dear. As she skipped down the hall, she couldn't believe that she was actually about to do this, but she felt like she could now. The first time had been so special to her, since he was her first. All she wanted to do now was repay the favor for putting a permanent smile on her heart.

Being honest, I almost forgot about that episode... I don't even remember the title. Even then, I give you props for the subscure reference. I'm pretty sure that I can tell what's going to happen with the cloud (Not that the hints were that subtle in the first place), but considering how badly my Alicorn theory went down, I'll keep it to myself.
