A Rainbow of Pink

Chapter 10 of AROP: Maybe she was just my amazing pegasus sister

"Yesterday Pinkie came to talk to me about what was going on, I'm pretty sure she was just trying to verify her feelings for me before she told you she loved you. She still had a hangover from the night before when I horribly rejected her. You, Mystery Gloom, carried her home and looked after her until the next evening. Thank you for looking after Pinkie after I messed her up and yes I feel exceptionally guilty. You and her had a romantic time but then she came to see me because as I've said she wanted to check she didn't still love me before loving you. She flew in her balloon up to see me which gave her a bad case of nausea and then tightly tied on some balloons to keep herself afloat. But they were too tight and caused her to collapse and fall through the cloud layer. I caught her but not before she hit her head on a tree branch. She didn't wake up so I took her to the hospital and they said she had a concussion. She came to and I realised that the pony who carried her home from the drinking might be her Very Special Somepony. I kissed her to say goodbye because I realised she was somepony else's mare and it might be my last time since I bucked it all up. But then you trotted in and jumped to conclusions!" Rainbow finished looking menacing sending death stares at Mystery.

Mystery Gloom drifted to the ground and retracted his wings. He trotted over to me his eyes full of shame and regret. He looked at me with those eyes and they said everything he wanted to. Sorry they said. Sorry you're sick. Sorry I scared you. Please, PLEASE love me again... I realised that maybe this whole time chasing Dash I missed the one colt who would Really love me and wouldn't only realise once I've been seriously wounded. I'm not the sort of pony to hold a grudge so having him clearly say sorry without saying anything moved me to tears. In a tiny voice my mouth opened and murmered words only my beautiful Alicorn lover could hear. "I verified my feelings over Rainbow Dash..." His eyes darkened. I started laughing quietly and then got louder. I laughed at myself and Rainbow and Mystery and the whole scenario! I laughed and laughed until my sides split and my hair bounced back to its former glory I spoke through fits of giggles.

"It's you I want Mystery Gloom, I want to spend my life with you!" He burst into a grin and I grinned back. The whole crowd oohed and ahhed at our completely cliché ending. Mystery Gloom spread his glorious wings and started to glow. No I mean literally he GLOWED! The glow was so incandescently large it seemed to fill the whole of Ponyville! I couldn't even see him through the glow but when it reduced I could see his charming silhouette. When the light cleared I saw Mystery. But he was different. He was wearing a crown! "Hey how about that, Pinkie Pie? Being an Alicorn finally made me a prince!" He yelled grinning like a madcolt!

I laughed but inwardly cringed because this whole affair was totally cheeseville! Although recently it seemed I was a permanent resident in cheeseville smiling cornily with the rest of the happily ever afters. Mystery touched my waist gently with his horn. I felt a tingling sensation as his magic healed my wounds and I sighed in relief. He grabbed my hooves and flew upwards with me holding on like a filly! We were in the clouds looking down on Ponyville when he reached down to kiss me. Joyfully I kissed him back blissfully aware that finally I had found the arms that would never let me go. As for Rainbow Dash, I loved her but in a deeper way, a way you depend on your family. She was my family! Maybe she was just my amazing pegasus sister.... My pegasister forever... And as I looked around the beautiful sky that surrounded me and my Prince I swore I could see in the distance the perfect representation of our sisterhood. Out of the corner of my eye I saw
