Previous Chapter

Midnight stopped pacing around his room as an idea came to him. Quickly, the male changeling shifted into his new form. After analyzing every detail of the form he decided that, after a few tweaks, the form was ready for its presentation.
Quickly, Midnight shifted back into his changeling form and started walking downstairs. He was practically glowing with happiness and didn't notice that Rainbow's smell had gotten significantly stronger. He almost roundhouse kicked his girlfriend when she whispered,
"Found you." Right in his ear. He attempted to regulate both his breathing and his heartbeat, but apparently his heart was unwilling to cooperate today. Rainbow giggled at the look on Midnight's face, which showed fear, annoyance and pride. After Midnight had gotten over the initial scare, he smiled,
"Now that was a changeling worthy jump scare!" Rainbow grinned like a maniac, she enjoyed succeeding where Twilight couldn't, her eyes were glowing a bright yellow, with a tint of pink that only ever seemed to appear when she was around Midnight.
Midnight, after he had gotten over Rainbow's excessive cuteness, he remembered why he was looking for her in the first place. He quickly spoke up and got Rainbow's attention,
"Rainbow, I've found the perfect disguise! Wanna see it?" Rainbow snorted,
"Obviously I want to see it. Can I see it now so that I can see if there is anything that I would like changed?" Midnight nodded, completely missing the adorable puppy-eyed look that Rainbow had given him. After a second or two, Midnight became momentarily enveloped by a green vortex. After the green light had disappeared, what stood in front of Rainbow was definitely not Midnight Wonder.

Twilight sat down in her study, wondering what the stallion that Rainbow was bringing looked like, she had asked for all of the others to bring their significant others along. Currently, Comet was smiling at her, he had come as quickly as possible, wanting to know every single detail. Twilight admired her lover's thirst for knowledge, that is how she fell for him to begin with, but even that couldn't ease her mind. She was just bubbling to the brim with questions like 'What does he look like?' or 'Will he be nice?' Twilight was in a sour mood, she had never waited to answer any of her questions before, but this time, she had to wait until tomorrow.

Rarity was going through her wardrobe with Fancy Pants, she had come to the Boutique and couldn't help it, she was bubbling with excitement, she told Fancy everything. He had automatically decided to help her find a beautiful, but not too extravagant, dress for the next morning. They would be meeting at the castle about fifteen minutes before Dash and her mystery stallion were scheduled to arrive. They both couldn't wait to meet him, Rarity had never seen Dash look so bashful towards her friends.

Pinkie was bouncing around the room, Cheese had agreed to arrive early the next morning so that they could get ready, it was only 5:00, but Pinkie promised herself that she would wake up super duper early, so she would be going to sleep earlier than ever before, as much as she loathed doing it, she would be going to sleep at 7:00. But she needed to tire herself out somehow, so she was currently bouncing off the walls and hanging herself by the tail until she was exhausted enough to go to bed.

Fluttershy and her family were at the dinner table, discussing what they would do the next morning, luckily, Remedy was allowed to join her and Big Mac at the lunch. Neither of the females could wait to see who Rainbow Dash had fallen for. Big Mac was currently thinking about how he could test the stallion to see if he was worthy to be dating one of the Elements of Harmony.

Applejack was sitting at the dinner table with Granny Smith (How is she still alive), Applebloom and Flim. She was trying to gently let Applebloom and Granny Smith down, they'd have to meet Rainbow's Mystery Stallion at a later date. Flim however, was extremely curious, he wondered if the new stallion would like pranking, or inventing, or be at all interesting. While Flim knew that Rainbow hated boring people, he couldn't help but think that something was going to go wrong in the near future. If Flim had any say in it, it probably had something to do with the new guy, and he didn't like it one bit.

Spike and Ember would also be attending, Ember kept casually throwing in that she'd chop up the new stallion and feed him to the Timber-wolves if he decided to hurt anyone close to her. Spike was nervously trying to shove down the foreboding feeling that he kept getting, he knew that something was going to go wrong in the near future, but he sincerely hoped that it had nothing to do with the new stallion.

When Rainbow had gotten up, she had hastily gotten ready and, for the first time in a while, actually made an effort to make herself look tidy, without styling her hair or putting on dresses or putting on makeup, she was simply trying to bring out more of her natural beauty than she had done so before. She honestly didn't feel so good, she didn't feel sick, no not at all, but she had a bad feeling about something, and she knew that it was going to happen today.
Rainbow knew that she was being paranoid, so she tried to shove it down, and she succeeded for the most part. She heard Midnight washing himself up in the other bathroom and she smiled, she knew that her friends were going to approve of her new boyfriend.

Twilight grinned as her guests got settled down, no one could wait another second to see Rainbow's guest of honor, and luckily, no one had to, because at that moment, Rainbow walked in, she cleared her throat,
"I would like all of you to meet my boyfriend, Midnight Wonder." They were all silenced as a stallion walked in. He had a muscular build, but he wasn't overly buff, he had a dark blue coat, a black mane that had thin white streaks in it. The stallion was as Rarity predicted, a pegasus. He had a cutie mark that was a lightning bolt shaped constellation, leading the other ponies in the room to believe that Midnight's talent was finding and naming constellations, along with green eyes. No one could doubt that the stallion loved Rainbow dearly though, because the first thing he did was peck Rainbow on the cheek and lead her to her chair.

Immediately, Rarity started interrogating him,
"How old are you?" Midnight raised an eyebrow, but answered politely,
"24." Rarity nodded in approval before launching a series of questions,
"Favorite Color?"
"Blue."
"Favorite Food?"
"Chocolate."
"Favorite Hobby?"
"Flying."
"Favorite attribute of Rainbow?"
"Her eyes."
"Family Status?"
"Orphaned."
"Marital Status?"
"I've never been married."
"Are you a Virgin?"
"Yes."
"Favorite gemstone?"
"Blue tourmaline."
"Least Favorite color?"
"Green."
"Favorite Book?"
"Wonder."
"Grades in school?"
"Straight A's"
"Motive for being Rainbow's boyfriend?"
"She has a wonderful personality, she's beautiful, she's smart and she proved herself to be a worthy partner when she saved me from certain death."
"Would you like to tell us that story?"
"Some information is better left secret."
"Got a backbone now? Well, would you ever leave Rainbow if you argued?" Midnight seemed offended by the very thought,
"Of course not! She not only saved my life, but she's never given me any reason to leave her, especially not after some petty argument!" Rarity smirked in approval,
"Thoughts on children?"
"I'd love to have one or two, but not until I can afford one and efficiently care for one." Rainbow was tempted to stop Rarity's question spree, but it was allowing her to know more about Midnight, so she let it continue.
