Everlasting Love.

"Oh...What To Wear?!?! WHAT TO WEAR?!?!" Twilight shouted as she flew around her bedroom, looking for the perfect outfit.

"Can't you just wear your birthday dress twilight?" Spike asked while he dusted the bookshelves.

"No Spike! I want to make a really good impression on Tuck! And also, that dress doesnt have enough glamour. I couldn't possibly wear it." Twilight kept trying on dresses. They all ended in 'Maybe, Yes,' Or 'No'. After hours of trying dresses on, it was 2:00 on the day of the party. Twilight had 2 more hours.

"Ugh! I'll never find the perfect dress!" She shouted as she slammed her closet doors. There was a knock at the door. I bet its pinkie pie, telling me to help her frost some cakes or whatever. Twilight thought. Twilight opened the door, but to her surprise, there was nopony there. Just a white box, labeled with a dress shop logo. Twilight pulled it inside and opened it on her bed. Laid on top was a note that read:

My Dearest Twilight,

I got a message from Spike saying you needed a dress to impress a guy friend. I happily went to a store and bought a dress I though would look lovely on you. I Hope You Have A Wonderful Time.

Signed, Princess Celestia.

Wow, I wonder what it looks like...

Twilight opened the huge white box and inside lay folded perfectly inside was a champagne colored gown folded into a square. Twilight drew it out of its box and shook it out, then it revealed its true glory as Twilight took in the beauty of it. The way the sequenced fabric flowed was elegant. If words could describe perfection, this would be it. Twilight was itching to try it on. Suddenly, She felt excited.

She tried to picture it: Her. at the party, wearing this amazing thing of beauty. She could already see the way that she wanted her hair to flow with it. She neatly folded it back up and got to work on her hair. After carefully combing, spraying, pinning, And even braiding, her hair was finally perfect. It was 3:47, so Twilight threw on the dress. She was about to throw on some old dress shoes, when Spike burped out a box. Another note was on top of the box. This one read:

My Dearest Twilight,

I Forgot to send the accessories! How silly am I? Anyways, have fun at the party! I will be expecting a letter to tell me how the party went.

Signed, Princess Celestia.

Twilight chuckled at the note. How could the Princess of Equestria forget something? Twilight opened the box, that contained silver shoes with straps. A flower pin, and a necklace that had Twilight's cutie mark on it. "Perfect Timing!!" It was 3:55 when twilight headed out the door.

"Oh there you are darling where on earth have you-" Rarity started, but was stoped by Twilight's shimmering gown.

"OH MY CELESTIA WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SIMPLY FABULOUS OUTFIT DARLING!?!?" Rarity shouted while looking over every inch of the dress. "Princess Celestia sent it to me personally. Doesn't it look Perfect?" Twilight asked while spinning around. "It Looks Simply Gorgeous, Darling." Rarity said reassuringly. The rest of their friends gathered at the front door of Tuck's cottage, and then they walked inside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, Hey guys!" Tuck said at they all walked inside, the stereos blasting. There were a bunch of other ponies there. Everypony there told Twilight how much they loved her gown. Everypony was having a fabulous time dancing, and Tuck even had rented a Karaoke machine!  There was plenty of punch, and sweets, and zesty cucumber sandwiches. Everypony was having a blast! At one point in the night they played a slow song, and everypony paired up, except for Twilight and Tuck.

"Miss Twilight," Tuck started while bowing. "Could I perhaps have this dance?" Twilight stood silent for a minute and then replied "Why yes Sir Tuck." Tuck took her hoof and then led her to the middle of the dance floor. All Of Me came on and Tuck asked Twilight something special. "Twilight, I have something for you, once this song is over, we should head up to my room so I can show you." "Why Tuck...sure..." Twilight replied as she put her head on his shoulder. As they danced through the night, ponies begun filing out. By 12:00, everypony was gone. Only Twilight and Tuck remained, dancing to the final slow song. Even Pinkie Pie, the queen of parties, got tired and went home. Tuck guided Twilight up to the main bedroom. On his nightstand, was three things. A locket, A small bottle of clear water, And a small music box.

"Whats all this Tuck?" Twilight asked, curiously.

"My Love, please sit down. I have to explain." Twilight sat on the bed, where Tuck used his magic to levitate the locket around Twilight's neck.

"Twi, In Ponyville, I have had the time of my life. This Past Week? Its been the highlight of my life. But I have to explain something to you..." Tuck lifted the bottle in front of Twilight.

"In this bottle contains water from a spring I found 80 years ago. I drank some of it, and ive looked like this for 80 years. This water..it stops you in your tracks. We could be together for the rest of our lives. I'm letting you make the decision. But Twi, If i stay in town much longer, ponies will get suspicious, so, In this house, I will leave a very special set of clues of where I am going. In about 3 years, we will be the same age. Come find me. And we can live. Forever. But Twilight, I remember a poem I heard long ago. It went like this:stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cage. Remember this Twilight, before you make the Ultimate decision. But, if you do drink the water, and find me, our love will be everlasting." With that, Tuck gently kissed Twi's cheek, and handed her the bottle. He started up the music box as Twi walked out, shocked.

"Hey, where did you get that music box anyway?" Twilight asked curiously before she left the room.

"I bought it at the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange, I liked the music it played." Tuck answered as he put it in his closet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple of days later, Tuck had packed his things and was crossing the bridge that marked the end of Ponyville. Tuck unhooked himself from the cart, took a good long look at Twilight's library, then at the abandoned house that Twilight had rented, and sighed.

    "I'll Miss You, Twilight Sparkle." Tuck whispered, He turned around, and walked out of the greatest adventure of his life.
