The New Jem

Damen and Crystal Feather at this point have been dating for over a couple of years. Damen is going to take Crystal out to dinner, and give her a special gift, that would change the course of their lives forever. She put on a nice bracelet and the necklace he had given her at the end of their senior year in high school. Heading to the local fancy restaurant down the street to where she lived, Crystal stood by the door and waited for Damen to come.

Soon coming around the corner, the familiar white unicorn stallion came up to the doors of the restaurant.

“Hey Crystal. Are you ready?” Damen asked.

“Ready as I’ll ever be. What was this date for anyways Damen? Don’t you have a train to catch in a few hours?” Crystal asked.

“No, that isn’t until tomorrow, this date is more like a date before I leave for a few weeks.”

“Okay.”

Damen grabbed Crystal’s hoof and the both of them went inside the restaurant. They sat down in a quiet room where no other pony was.

“This is one of the busiest places in the Crystal Empire! How did we get a quiet room?” Crystal asked.

“I have some connections with the manager here. I told the manager to get us a quiet room, so then we could talk, and I know that you don’t really like an audience.” Damen answered.

“Well, thank you Damen; that’s amazing!”

Damen nodded, using his unicorn magic he pulled out Crystal’s chair, Crystal sat down. The whole dinner, Damen talked about his career and Crystal told him about story ideas that she had, and how they were going to go. When they finished eating, Damen went to his tuxedo pocket, and pulled out a small box.

“What is that Damen?” Crystal asked.

“Crystal, I know this seems sudden, and I have finally got the guts to ask you.” Damen used his magic opening the small box, reveling a diamond ring, “Will you marry me Crystal?”

Crystal’s eyes widened, she couldn’t respond. Was this a dream that she was reliving? Was this some kind of joke? Or did Damen really want to marry her?

“Is this a joke Damen?” Crystal asked.

“No Crystal. I want you to be my mare, the one that will take care of me, and maybe a young foal later on in life.” Damen responded.

What could Crystal answer, this stallion was going to be her husband forever if she said yes, but she would lose him if she said no.

“What’s your answer?” Damen asked.

“Yes Damen, yes, I will marry you!” Crystal cheered.

Damen wrapped his hooves around Crystal, placing the ring around one of the feathers on Crystal’s wing. They were going to live happily ever after.
