Rose In The Teeth

Roseluck woke up the morning of the gala, disappointed to not see Colgate next to her. She was in the same hotel, so it wasn't a wet dream. However, the blankets and slight smell said it might have been both. At the moment she realized, she blushed fiercely. She rolled over under the blankets, just to realize Colgatate had the same incident. Hey, at least she's really interested, she thought as she got up, to see Colgate coming out of the bathroom, slightly wet mane and distant but strong scent of the mint she had no idea she loved so much until last night. She rubbed her eyes with her hoof as she spoke.

"Uh, Mornin' Colgate. You done in there?"

"All yours." Presumably by instinct, she shook herself, and blushed.

"Eh, don't worry about it. We both had a similar dream, I rolled around in bed before I got up." This made Colgate blush 10 times harder, but Rose wasn't awake enough to blush whatsoever. She made her way into the shower, and forgot to turn on the warm water knob. The freezing cold water came down and hit her. This completely woke her up instantly, and before last night she might have yelled something like 'BUCKING COLD WATER!' but, she quickly grew to love the cold after last night. After a second, she reached back to turn the heat knob up enough to where she would avoid getting a cold, but still kept the heat low. After about 5 minutes, she got out of the shower and dried herself to an extent, when she noticed Colgate's things still by the sink. Buck it, why not. She picked up the floss, and began. It was slightly minty, but nothing compared to Colgate's tongue. After a few minutes, got the surprisingly large amount of food out of her teeth, and picked up the mouthwash. She poured some into the cap/cup, drank that, and it was a bit more minty. She was beginning to like this. She sloshed it around her mouth for a generously long time, and then, regretfully, spat it out. All that was left was the toothbrush. She couldn't possibly take her lover's premium toothpaste, so she just put everything into Colgate's saddlebag.

"Aww, you aren't gonna brush?" Rose jumped slightly, then turned.

"I didn't want to use your expensive toothpaste."

"Just do it, come on. You'll love it, I promise. The stuff's enchanted. Makes your teeth stronger."

"Your sure I can?" Rose was slightly skeptical at first, but Colgate used her magic to prepare her toothbrush as she walked up next to Rose, then put it in her hoof.

"Brush or your grounded, miss." Colgate said playfully, barely keeping a straight face.

"Okay, whatever you say, mother." She put emphasis on mother, and broke Colgate's straight face. Success.

"Just do it." Colgate laughed. Rose began brushing, and disregarded the universe around her. This was definitely where Colgate got her mouth from. The minty bristles melted a wonderful cream along her teeth, and onto her tongue. The rich white substance filled her mouth with the wonderful taste she loved so dearly. Once she finished making sure her teeth were coated, she scrubbed the rest onto her tongue. Afterwards, she swallowed the paste. She pulled the brush out, and asked a question that she assumed was obvious, but she was mistaken.

"Should I rinse this?"

"Why? I never do." She was taken aback for a second. She just swallowed toothpaste from Colgates toothbrush, which she had never rinsed. This didn't bother her at all, after a second. They were marefirends now, after all. And Rose couldn't get enough of that mouth, buck it.

"Cool. So I just toss it in the saddlebag?"

"Actually, you see that plastic bag?" There was a thin, long plastic bag, and rose took the hint. She put it in the bag, sealed it, and put it in the saddlebag.

"Col, we should probably dress for the gala."

"Yeah. Come on, lets." They went to the door, where they had left the clothes, and got into them. Col had a tux with one of the white/blue roses he kept for the purpose. Rose had a black dress, and adorned 2 red roses. One for the left pocket in the front, similar to Col, and one in her hair. Luckily, her hair was trained to fix itself after a shower, and they both were ready for the Gala. They found a cab, and within minutes they arrived at the castle. Colgate gave the 2 tickets to the guard, and he opened the gates with his magic. They entered, and Rose soon saw an old friend. She did a lot of crazy stuff when she was younger, and she was one of them. Vinyl Scratch was setting up her equipment. Luckily, after the one-time drunk fling that, for some reason, they recorded, they kept it from making things awkward between them. She waved to the DJ, Who waved back, then gestured for a grey mare to follow her.

"Hey, Rose. Long time no see, huh? Still selling flowers, I assume."

"Only the best ones, obviously. Are you still the queen of the turntables I knew?"

"Duh! Obviously yes."

"Now you know how I feel." Vinyl gave a playful punch to her shoulder in response, didn't hurt at all.

"Hey, meet Octavia. My marefriend. Best cellist in Equestria."

"I wouldn't quite go there." Said the grey mare in a high-class Canterlot accent.

"Hey, what a coincidence! Meet my new marefriend, Colgate." She gestured to the blue unicorn to her left.

"Love your mane." Vinyl said, looking at Colgate.

"Heh, wonder why." She said, obviously looking at Vinyl's mane.

"Naturally." Octavia spoke again. "You just love anything that reminds you of you."

"Hey! You can't argue with that mane." She gestured Col's mane.

"Because it looks just like yours?"

"Well, mainly, yes, but,-"

"Point made."

"Heh, my mane isn't the best part, ya know." Colgate spoke, intentionally putting extra breath into her words.

"Damn! That breath!" Vinyl turned back to Rose. "I can't comment or I get it with a cello, but you get the gist, right?" Rose nodded. "Anyway, I have to get back to hooking up the set, later!" She said, walking off.

"How far you thing before one of them proposes?" Asked Colgate.

"I think Vinyl's gonna pop the question tonight." Responded Rose, smirking. "And I can tell, Octavia's gonna say yes."

"If you think about it, we're not too far off, ya know?"

"We'll cross the bridge when we get to it. Until the, just kiss me." They shared an intimate kiss, and somehow Colgate's tongue was more minty now than the toothpaste the moment she used it. It was her cutie mark, after all. They idly mingled until the party started. Rose and Col found eachother in time to begin dancing. What she heard was the most beautiful thing she had ever heard, it was a mix of classical, and slow dubstep. They fit perfectly together, just like they were made for eachother, and Rose had no idea what to think. She just drifted off into dance with the mare across from her, who now had a blue rose in her teeth. It lasted for what felt like an eternity of eternities, but the music came to an end. That elite accent came out of the speakers from Octavia.

"Everypony, This will be our last bit, as it is getting late and the Gala is soon to be over, so I hope you enjoy." This new tempo was, well, romantic. It made the setting that much better, and she found herself making out with her marefriend, and the music finished. Then, Vinyl's voice was coming from the speakers.

"Everypony, The Gala is coming to a close, but I have an announcement before everypony leaves. Octavia." Rose knew exactly what was going to happen now." Octavia, my love, Will you marry me?" There were a few gasps from the audience, but Rose and Col just smiled to eachother, knowing the answer.

"Yes!" There was an uproar of cheering and stomping for the newly engaged. Vinyl and Octavia ran to eachother on the stage, kissing when they met. Rose and Col just grinned, and when Vinyl's skimming eyes came across Rose in the audience, she winked and got out the spare roses from being hidden in her tail, and threw them onto the stage. Other ponies followed suit, and soon the couple were showered in assorted flowers. Rose then looked back to Colgate, and they kissed.

They had just arrived back at the apartment from the gala, and Rose had a promise to keep.

"Hey, Col. You know, the night's not over for us." She said once they were both out of the expensive clothing, which enticed them both to the bed. Once again, Colgate laid down first.
