Six Broken Hearts

Chapter 11: Feeling better, with a huge question

I yawned as I wake up to a new day. I instantly loathed Sun-butt as well. I rolled out of bed, falling off and rub my head. I groaned getting up and heard a knock on the door. I walked over and opened it to see Jacob. I instantly flung at him tightly hugging him.

"S-SAM! I NEED OXYGEN!" He tried to say. I chuckled and let go. "I think you broke my arms," he says. "What got into you?" I smiled while I shed a couple of tears.

"It's a long story," I said. He scratched his head but shrugged it off.

"So, have you heard?" He asks. I have a bad feeling.

"About what?" I ask.

"Well, I recently talked to Rainbow and she was going to ask you a question. She told me to tell you, to meet her at the bridge at night tonight. Oh, and feel like something is going to happen!" I had a confused look.

"Hey, have you heard about Applejack?" I asked smiling like a devil. He nodded. "Think they're love birds?" I ask.

"Oh they are, they just didn't want some people to know," he said. I chuckled.

"Speaking of which, have you and Fluttershy clicked?" I asked. He blushed deeply.

"Well, you could say that," he said. It took me a minute but it hit me like a brick.

"You and her?" He nods. "You both... had fun?" I ask smiling like the devil again. He looks down and nods. "I'll get a ring for you, while making the wedding bells ring!" I said. He glared.

"Sam, you had sex with RD!" I shook my head.

"On the contrary, we had apparently just cuddled, in a weird way," I said. I smiled as his eye twitched.

"So, only two out of five people that drank had sex!?" He almost yelled. I chuckled.

"Well, congrats dude," I said. He glared even deeper than before. I chuckled nervously.

"I swear to God I will kill you one day Sam!" He said.

"But then who would be the most magnificent troll here?" I asked looking scared. He smiled shaking his head.

"How is it that you make people laugh I'll never know."

"Jacob buddy, I'm a man of miracles," I said simply. Later on in the evening, I went to the bridge. I had on a grey sweater and a pair of jeans on since it was cold today. I looked at my watch. It was indeed 11:55. I exhaled. I don't know why I'm nervous. She is my marefriend after all. I saw Rainbow slowly hover to the bridge, muttering something to herself. "Hey Rainbow!" I said. She looks at me startled. She smiles sheepishly. I have a feeling something's going to happen.

"Hey Sam," she says back.

"Why do you need to ask me a question here? You could've just asked me in person," I said. She sheepishly smiles and flies over to me.

"Well, this is a special question, but before I ask it, we must do a few things!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me away. We went to the theater first. We watched a movie called 'Daring Do and the 12 Mystery Rings'. During the movie, we had popcorn and two sodas. I had my arm around her, and she was smiling the whole time. I'm going to guess that it wasn't because of my arm. When we left, we then went to Sugarcube. We had a milkshake, which we shared. I had some weird feeling the whole time though. I then saw something at the bottom of the glass. It was a ring. I gave a quzzled look at Rainbow and reached in to get it. When I pulled it out, I noticed something. There was a diamond on it. It was an engagement ring. "Hey Sam," she said I looked at her surprised. She looked at me with hope in her eyes. "Will you marry me?" I had to think. Wait, shouldn't it b- never mind, I've seen women proposed in movies. I backed up.

"Um, I-I-I-I-I," I continued saying that like a broken record. Pinkie looks at me puzzled.

"I think you broke him," she said. Rainbow went over and slapped me at the back of the head. I was silent.

"I um, don't know," I said. Rainbow looked at me disappointedly.

"So, no?" She asks. I shook my head.

"L-let me just, think about it for a few days," I said. Her ears droop.

"Oh, oh alright then," she said. She flew off with the ring. I sighed.

Later

"... and that's what happened," I said to Jacob. He apparently became a psychiatrist after talking to a lot of ponies and fixing them or their problems.

"Well, you are in a tricky situation Sam," he said. I nodded. "How much do you love Rainbow?" He asks. I looked at him with a glare.

"What does that supposed to mean," I said darkly. He had wide eyes but reestablished himself.

"I'm asking, do you love Rainbow enough to spend the rest of your life with her?" He asks. I paused.

"Well, I do love Rainbow, and I would do anything to protect her-"

"Then marry her you idiot," he says looking at his note book. I gave him a raised eyebrow. "Sam, someone was bound to say it," he said rolling his eyes.

"Well, whatever you say doc," I said. I got up and left waving bye. When I got out, feeling the fresh air had made me feel a little better about what the hell's going on. I went to Rainbow's house shortly and looked up.

"Hey Rainbow?!" I yelled. Rainbow was beside me within an instant.

"Yeah Sam?" She asks. I smiled.

"Remember that proposal?" I asked. She nodded with a scared look.

"Yes," I said simply. I was then tackled to the ground, being kissed. Unknown to us, the rest of the guys and mares watched in adorable awe.

"I told you it would happen," said Tom to Twilight.

"Well, Rainbow seems happy," Applejack said. Pinkie is bouncing up and down in excitement. Jacob saw it coming but smiled. Fluttershy held onto Jacob's arm. Max and the others smiled. Pinkie, being the excited mare she is, runs up to me and Rainbow.

"Hey Sammy hey Dashie, we just saw you say yes to Rainbow and I thought ' ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!' and then I was like, 'Hey, let's celebrate with a party, so can I can I can I!?!?" It took me a minute to realize what she even said.

"I guess so?" Pinkie started vibrating and went up like a rocket. I chuckled and Rainbow laughed. So then, me and the guys celebrated while Rainbow and the girls did the same. We hung out and drank wine. This time I didn't drink again. The others said I was too tense and tried to loosen me up. We eventually went to our houses and slept. Next morning I woke up, and put on my work clothes. I got breakfast at Sugarcube and went to work. While I was fixing one machine that generate's clouds, Thunderlane was talking.

"So Sam, I heard you're getting married? With Rainbow I presume."

"Yeah."

"Do you have the wedding planned?"

"Yeah."

"Are you lieing?"

"...Yeah."

"Sam, I know a great pony for this."

"Pinkie's planning it."

"So, who're your best stallions?"

"So far, Jacob, Bonebeat, and you."

"I feel obliged."

"Dammit."

"What's wrong?"

"Shocked myself."

"Did it hurt?"

"No, it felt like rainbows and chocolates."

"I didn't know those felt good."

"It's sarcasm."

"Oh I know, I'm just following up."

"In that case, can I please knock you over once I'm done?"

"Nah, I think I'm too handsome," he says. The machine started working again. I got up. I smacked Thunder at the back of the head. He laughed and went back to work. I went to my office. I sighed. Everypony has been bugging me about the wedding. I felt like everyone was crowding around me. I finally let loose and relaxed in my cushioned chair. I heard the buzz for lunch break and smiled. I got out and ate a doughnut, and drank some water. When the day was over, I trudged home and slept throughout the rest of the day.
