Battle for the Championship

Eternal Flames had woken up to the sound of birds chirping. It was a beautiful Saturday morning. He was about to get up and stretch, but his chest was pinned by one of Sunset's arms as she was still fast asleep. He looked at her and could hear cute snores from her. He smiled at her since she looked so peaceful.

'N'aww, she's just so cute.' He said in his mind. Eternal then decided not to wake her up and laid back down, watching her sleep. Eternal was really happy knowing that he had such a beautiful new lover who really cared about him. It wasn't until 5 minutes later that Sunset's cute little snores ended as she opened her eyes to see her lover staring right at her with his sapphire eyes.

"Morning, hun." she said softly, rubbing her eyes.

"Morning, babe." He replied back, softly.

"So, today's the day, huh?"

"Yeah, but the match doesn't start until later on at 5 PM so we got plenty of time."

"Well what should we do to pass the time?"

"I was thinking of probably taking a little stroll around town. A good walk always calms my nerves."

"Okay, sure. Can we bring the other girls along?"

"The more the marrier, as long as they're not too busy."

"OH, that reminds me, we gotta tell them about us."

"Yeah, you're right. But first I need to change into some clean clothes."

"Okay, I'll wait for you out in the living room."

"Okay babe."

Sunset then jumped out of bed and walked out of his room, closing the door. Eternal proceeded to head towards his closet and removed his pajamas, minus the boxers. He put on a short sleeve black shirt and blue jeans. After this is done, he straightened out his long red hair with his comb to get rid of his bed head.

Sunset was in the living room changing out of the pajamas Eternal had leant her and put on her regular outfit. She then sat on the couch watching one of Eternal's movies. Sunset was feeling both happy and worried. She was in love with Eternal and she couldn't wait to tell her friends about this. But she doesn't feel comfortable with her new boyfriend risking his life in the ring over a grudge match. She then hears footsteps from behind her and looks to see Eternal all dressed up and ready to go.

"Well, whenever you're ready, lets head out." Eternal says.

"Hey, Eternal, could we just go to Sugar Cube Corner?"

"Well, I don't see why not, but I can't have anything sweet. I gotta watch what I eat before the match."

"Okay, I'm gonna call the girls so we can meet them there." Sunset then takes out her phone and calls them. 10 minutes later, they all arrived at Sugar Cube Corner.

"This...is...AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash says. "I can't wait to see the match tonight!"

"Me too, and I still can't believe the entire school is gonna be watchin' as well as Rogue High School." Applejack says.

"I heard Crystal Prep is gonna watch it as well." Twilight says.

"So darling, what was it that you wanted to tell us about, besides the fight?" Rarity asked.

"Well you see girls...me and Eternal...we...um...he's my new boyfriend." Sunset says with a slight shade of red on her cheeks.

"WHAT?!" shouted the girls.

"Oh...my...I...I didn't know you liked him that much." Fluttershy said.

"I did! Now I see why the writer of this story added the "Romance" genre in here." Pinkie said.

"Wait, what?" Eternal said all confused.

"The writer of this story added "Romance" to it. Look at the very top of the screen, silly." Pinkie said.

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about, Pinkie, but that's something only YOU can see." Eternal said.

"But anyways, congrats on gettin' together, partner." Applejack says.

"Thanks, AJ. By the way, what made Crystal Prep decide to watch the match between Blueblood and I?"

"Well from what I've heard, they got invited by Principal Celestia. Since Cadance is now the new principal of Crystal Prep, Celestia didn't see a reason why she shouldn't invite Cadance and the rest of the school." Twilight says.

"My younger brother goes there. But he's thinking about transferring to Canterlot High." Eternal says.

"What's his name?" Twilight asks.

"Heat Wave." he replies.

"Oh, I know him. I see him every weekend. Well...to tell you the truth...he and I started dating ever since I came back from our field trip from Camp Everfree." Twilight says, blushing.

"That's good to hear. I told him he'd find someone special. He's as lucky as I am." Eternal says.

"What do you mean?" Sunset asks.

"He had a thing bookworms, and he's pretty lucky to have found himself a cute bookworm for a girlfriend. But you, I'm lucky to have you as my own sweetheart. You're smart, funny, beautiful, and you're kinda cute, especially you make those cute snores at night." Eternal says before he winks at Sunset, making her blush.

"Aww" said the girls.

"Hey don't mention that. You're gonna make me blush." Sunset says, giving Eternal a playful push.

"Too late, I just did." he says before he chuckles. "Well, I'd better go see the coach. I gotta get my boxing gear. I'll see you girls later when we get to Canterlot High." He then gets up and makes his way towards the exit while waving to the girls as they waved back.

It is now 4:30 P.M and nearly every student from Canterlot High, Crystal Prep, and Rogue High were gathered at the football stadium at Canterlot High School. There were fold-up chairs outside the ring covering every corner. The stadium was being filled at a rapid pace while the two fighters were inside the school with their coaches.

"Now remember what happened the last time you fought." Panja said. "Remember where you came from."

"Yes sir." Eternal said, while he focused his attention at the door leading to the outside.

"Now remember, show him that you got the eye of the tiger! You're the champ, he's just a man." Iron Will says to Blueblood

"Yes sir!" Blueblood said.

Finally, it was time to head out. Eternal Flames went with his coach first, and as he went out the lights fell onto his eyes, but he ignores it and continues to step forward. He got a few cheers from most of the crowd. Finally, he stepped into the ring, wearing nothing but his boxing gloves, red trunks and red in-fighter shoes. Then came in the amateur high school boxing champion, Blueblood. He walked out with a confident smirk on his face looking like he already won the match. There were a few cheers and a few jeers. As he approached the ring, he grabbed onto the ropes, pulled them back and launched himself over them and into the ring. Principal Celestia had stepped into the ring with a microphone getting ready to announce the fight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Canterlot High School and tonight's main event! 4 whole rounds of boxing for the amateur welterweight championship of the world! In the blue corner, the challenger, weighing 147 pounds, from Canterlot High School, the "Fiery Fists of Fury" Eternal Flames!" Celestia says jestering towards her son as he raises his right fist up. "In the red corner, weighing 150 pounds, from Rogue High School, the "Prince of the Ring," the reining amateur welterweight champion of the world, Blueblood!" She says, jestering her nephew who starts raising both his hands up jumping up and down with a smile. "Now we will go to referee, Luna." soon Celestia steps out of the ring while the two fighters gather to the center with Luna talking to them.

"Okay boys, I'm only going to say this. Watch your low blows, and your rabbit punches. In case of a knock down, you go to your neutral corner and stay there until I tell you to come out. Is that understood?" Luna asks, earning a simple a nod from both fighters. "Alright then, back to your corners, lets go."

"This time, I've got something in store for you when the bell rings." Blueblood says before he turns around and heads to his corner.

"Fine by me" replies Eternal, before walking back to his corner.

"Looks like this amateur bout is already heating up, and it could go either way! Will it be Blueblood who retains the title, or will the Prince of the Ring surrender his crown AND title to the Fiery Fists of Fury, Eternal Flames?" The announcer asks. "And now, the start of the first round has started right....." the announcer pauses for a moment until finally he hears the bell ".....NOW!"
