The next morning, Rumble was still sleeping on his big brother's bed while Thunderlane himself was downstairs reading a novel. He was feeling very worried about his brother and his nightmare might have scarred him for a lifetime. Thunderlane was still a little weirded out that his brother and Cloudchaser were together like this, but he was happy nevertheless

As for a Rumble himself, he was dreaming of something romantic between him and Cloudchsaer. They were both frolicking trough the flowers in a meadow, then a mean looking royal guard appeared out of nowhere.

Rumble and Cloudchsaeer were scared, fearing for the worst. They probably knew why this guard would appear out f nowhere to them, looking like they had committed a crime together. "Rumble and Cloudchaser." Said the guard. "You are under arrest for underage sex!" He barked.

"No, wait!" Rumble begged, but the brute did not heed his words and menacingly walked to them with a thump every stomp after stomp.

Then a magical cloud of sparkling blue, then the stallion disappeared, as did Cloudchaser. Rumble went from scared to confused why this is happening

"Fear not, Rumble." Said a familiar voice. "I am here." Then out from the sky, Princess Luna herself appeared.

"Princess Luna!" Rumble exclaimed, feeling very relieved. "I'm so glad to see you. That mean guard was going to throw us in the dungeon!"

"Shh.... It's okay, sweetie." Luna soothed "this is only a dream. What just happened now and last night was not real."

"Wait, you know about me and Cloudchaser?"

"Of course I do." She smiled at him.

Rumble was back to being scared since Luna just heard of the news and that she was rig in front of him. She could have him thrown in the dungeon for life herself.

"Do not, worry, Rumble." Luna reassured "there is nothing to be ashamed of."

"Really? You're not going to throw me in the dungeon for eternity?"

The princess of the night giggled "of course not. Never in one thousand years would I so such an act that is irrational such is that. I for one find you and Cloudchaser cute and sweet together."

"Despite me being younger than her?"

"Of course. When it comes to a colt and a young mare that is at least a number of years older than him, Love has no boundaries."

Rumble smiled and was relieved again. "Say, your majesty, if it is your duty to come to every pony's dreams, why didn't you help me last night when I dreamed of Cloudchaser getting arrested by Princess Celestia?"

"Well, I was about to jump in to your aide, but your brother, Thunderlane, came along and escorted you to sleep with him for the night to comfort you."

"Oh yeah." Rumble remembered. "I forgot."

"Don't worry about it. What is in the past cannot be fixed."

"Yeah. I know."

"And besides, Celestia would never put you, or Cloudchaser in jail either. She thinks it is adorable too."

"She knows?!" Rumble exclaimed

"Shh. There's no need to be worried. My sister approves of your relationship as well."

"Really?"

Luna nodded a yes to him

"Oh, that's great. Thank you so much, princess, and can you tell princess Celestia thank you as well?"

"Absolutely. But I am afraid I notice another conflict within you."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I could!'t help but notice that you have an urge to.... Propose to Cloudchsaer for marriage,"

"Marriage?!" Rumble exclaimed. "No no no. I don't know if I would marry her. It would be.... Weird and crazy."

"It's alright, Pip. There is no need to feel embarrassed. You want to stay with Cloudchaser forever and always be by her side."

Rumble could not lie anymore. "You're right, princess. I do want to marry Cloudchaser, but.... What would she think of me? Ad.... What would everypony think of us? Would they think we are weird and gross? Or what?" Rumble was very conflicted by this

Luna chuckled again "Rumble, many ponies like that sort of thing. They would all love to see a colt mare a beautiful grown mare. Although you are right, not everypony will like the idea, but still."

"That's true. But, I don't have a ring to give her."

"Proposal does not really depend on the gift, what matters is that it is a gift of love from the heart." Luna explained. "It wouldn't really matter what you would propose her with, your are what all she would want in her life."

All of these words and explanations were becoming a little clearer to him, even though he is still a boy. "You're right, princess Luna." He smiled. "Maybe I should tell her how I feel and that I want to marry her after all."

"Good. I am proud of you, Rumble." She said gently. "And like I have said before, what matters is that proposal comes from your heart."

"Right. See you later, princess."

"Bye Rumble." Then she vanished in a flash of light and Rumble woke up. He sighed and yawned before he looked at the morning light through the window

Then he heard the door crack open. It was Cloudchaser, Flitter, and Thunderlane together. "Good morning, Rumble." Cloudchaser said in a gentle whisper.

The colt yawned again. "Good morning, guys." He said

"Are you feeling alright, litter bro?" Thunderlane asked him. "You really gave me quite a scare last night."

"Yeah, i'm okay now."

"We felt so worried about you." Cloudchaser reassured. "We thought that we would drop in for a visit to check on you."

"It's the very least we can do for you, Rumble." Flitter added.

"Thanks, guys." Rumble said.

Flitter then asked "so did you sleep better last night with Thunderlane?"

"Yep. Thanks to my bestest big brother ever, I had no nightmares." They all had a good laugh

"I'm glad, little buddy." Said Cloudchaser. Then she gave him a kiss on his cheek, making him blush crimson tomato red. "I love you."

"And I love you too, Cloudchaser. Oh! And I can never forget about you guys."

"Of course. We know you would never forget about your big bro here." Thunderlane made a playful growl while flexing his muscles.

"And me." Flitter added

Then they all hugged as a group like a family. "So, Cloudchaser." Rumble asked nervously.

"Yeah?"

The colt slowly got out of bed and was remembering what Luna advised him. What matters is that process from your heart. he cleared his throat and stood on one knee pressing on the carpet floor "Cloudchsaer.... will you..... marry me?" He said at last

They were all surprised by this "oh, Rumble. That is so sweet." Said Cloudchaser, feeling really touched by this proposal

Both Thunderlane and Flitter went "aww" from this, and were very happy for this to happen

"So, what do you say? If- if you don't want to, I understand."

"Of course I do." Cloudchaser exclaimed in the wildest excitement. Rumble smiled and was relieved. "I would love to marry you, Rumble" then, she pulled him into the tightest hug she can get him."

"Cloud." Rumble gagged "you're strangling me."

Cloudchaser gasped and let go of him. "I am so sorry, I was just excited."

"That's okay. So, do we do a wedding party?"

"Everypony might think it's a little weird, but they will like it anyway." Flitter clarified.

"Yeah, we can tell Mayor Mare about this." Thunderlane added

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Cloudchaser said. They all went out of the house and headed to the city hall.
