Rainbow Dash felt a little pathetic.

Here she was, with her face buried in Alex’s chest, and not giving a damn about anything anymore. His company was worth more to her than anything else in the world, and she finally had it! So, she couldn’t just go to sleep! She would just waste away his presence if she did that. Instead, she was going to enjoy every single second she could… Well, until she passed out from exhaustion.

As she kept silent, and watched him sleep, she couldn’t help but think back to her life before this. It was such a contrast.

She was such a loud mouth before all of this happened.

She fought with everypony, always tried to get her way, and honestly considered herself to be the single coolest thing alive. Boy was she arrogant.

Maybe the loss of that attitude followed in line with her giving up on the Wonderbolts. Of course, that was over two years ago, and she had been seriously turned off of the idea of them, considering Comet tried to keep her from Alex.

But still, if Alex hadn’t been there, would she be a Wonderbolt right now? Would Comet have ad her way?

No… She wouldn’t have.

Because if Alex hadn’t vanished in the first place for those two months, she would never have gotten so sad, and worked so hard to become a Wonderbolt in the first place! So, she would have simply kept living her life.

One thing is for sure though; she would NOT have been a royal captain.

She would have just been a mare.

“So boring…” She muttered, careful not to wake him with her voice.

Grunting, Alex adjusted himself, and reached over her, pulling her entire body into him.

He was holding her.

Dash looked up to his face carefully, and felt an uncontrollable smile spread across her lips at the fact that he was still asleep. It was the feeling she had been seeking this entire time.

When her throat choked up, she smiled uncontrollably, and felt her heart pound out of her chest.

It may have been cheesy, but it was love. It wasn’t something she was really aware of before it hit her. You always hear the stories about ponies being smitten, and about how far they’re willing to go for somepony.

She always assumed they were exaggerated stories, and it wouldn’t be a thing like that when it happened for her. But, like so many times before, she was wrong.

Dash then went on to become the shining example of how far somepony will go for their love. Something that would have perhaps embarrassed her before, but now, it was something she was fine with. Her image was different now. She was mature.

Ugh… Mature.

That was another thing that got to her. She was mature now! That was probably the biggest shock for her.

Dash often played referee for her friends during one of the few fights they had when she was around, keeping her head cool, and giving them sound advice to working things out. It was something she was NOT known for preciously.

But, in the end, here she was. A grown mare, in bed with the man she had every intention of spending the rest of her life with. And she wouldn’t change it for a thing in Equestria.

“Alex…” Dash whispered, bumping her forehead against his chin.

“Hmm.” Alex grumbled, obviously a little lost in sleep.

“Wake up!” She whispered, pulling away from him a bit, making enough movement to really wake him up.

“What do you need, Colors?” Alex asked, immeasurably happy that everything that happened the day before wasn’t a dream.

“I love you,” She said, scooching up to meet his face and placing a quick kiss on his lips, “I love you so much.”

Alex tried to answer, but the frequency of her pecks picked up, as well as each one took a little longer then the last.

“Dash—I—love—you—too!” Alex said, holding back his laughter, until her assault finally finished, “What’s all this for?”

“It’s for the last two years.” She said, feeling her throat tighten, and her heart start pounding, as she smiled sweetly to him, “When all this chaos and mystery enemy stuff finishes up, you’d better be ready to settle down.”

“What, like get married?” Alex teased, as she looked away from him quickly, “Are you proposing to me, Captain Rainbow Dash?”

“No!” She spat out quickly, “I may be a tough, forward-thinking pony, but YOU will be proposing to ME!”

“It sounds like your mind is already made up,” Alex said, laughing under his breath, “But, if that’s how you’d like it.”

“Good,” She nodded, forcing herself back into her positing against him, “Now, let’s get some sleep!”

“Sure thing Dashie,” Alex agreed, closing his eyes, “I love you.”

“I love you too.” She nodded into his chest, “Good night.”

Alex mumbled something inaudible as he faded out of consciousness.

There was that feeling again.

She was going to- at some point- be getting married.
