You walk into the ballroom as you button your cuffs and survey the scene. Since you yourself had become a bit of a celebrity, there were all kinds of creatures at this event. There were some Wonderbolts, namely Spitfire and Soarin', the "Mane Six", a popstar with black and blonde hair who you vaguely recognize, a few griffons, and a cow and a fluffy deer are talking by the punch bowl. You think you've seen the deer when visiting another land for a prize fight, but you could be mistaken.

You encounter your group as you walk in, as they were all waiting for you to arrive. The 6 are talking in a circle and you slide between Twilight and Dash as you interrupt their conversation. Dash tousles your Twilight-themed hair as your marefriend slaps at Dash's hand.

"Dash, it took forever to get that right, humans don't just bounce out of bed with perfectly styled hair like we apparently do every day."

"Sorry, egghead, just wanted to congratulate him on this past week. I'm surprised he's not a sack of bones and skin by now."

"Well, I learned a few tricks from trying to maintain this physique." Twilight says as Rarity has come over with a comb produced from hammerspace. "Lots of water, Hayterade, and some good home-cooking. Not by me, of course. The chefs here do a wonderful job."

"Well if ya ever need some a' that, sugarcube, you know where to drop on by. We got more ways to cook apples than I do cousins. And my family reunions count as mass migrations!"

The group laughs as two Princesses come sauntering in. For non-"formal" occasions, the Princesses drop their height so they can relate to the guests better and not tower over them as much. They're down to a "meager" 6'9" as Twilight's horn gets up to their eyes and your new (surprisingly permanent) height makes them almost comparable to you.

"Good evening, my little ponies," Celestia starts, "How are you all enjoying this little "soirée" so far?"

"It's wonderful, Tia," your voice shows nearly no hesitation at referring to the demigoddess as her nickname, "you really did a great job handling this."

"Oh it wasn't all me, Luna was especially a big help. It was her idea to bring in the chocolate and cheese fountains. Those are always big hits." She points over to them as Pinkie has a fondue fork with a strawberry on it, alternating from fountain to fountain.

"Cheese...chocolate. Cheese...chocolate. Cheese...chocolate."

Dash unfurls her wings and bolts over to the fountains to intervene.
"Pinkie, no! You're caught in a sweet-savory loop!"

"Anyway..." Celestia continues, "we're glad you like it. Hopefully this isn't the last anniversary bash we have."

"Yes, it has been most pleasant." Luna pipes in, the midnight blue mare making her presence know. "Can I speak to you two alone for a second?" She points at you and Twilight and motions to head out of the venue and into the hallway. You and your girlfriend look at each other in slight confusion as you head out.

"Now, this shouldn't surprise either of you, but after our events the other day, and the total amount of magic that was involved in that, I got something you may want to see." She reaches into her small clutch and takes out a pregnancy test. Two lines, and you look at the key. Two lines equals...

"You're pregnant?!?!" you both whisper loudly.

"Yes." Luna starts. "What the fuck did you think would happen when you fucked me with a magical dick made out of your boyfriend with testicles the size of basketballs?" She whispers back, the vulgarity very out of character.

You and Twilight both agree with that statement.

"Well don't worry, Luna, we'll do our best to make sure you're comfortable during the whole process, no matter what it takes." You say, as you go in to hug the Princess of the Night.

"About that..." Twilight says.

"What's that supposed to mean?" You say.

A white unicorn mare with dark brown hair rushes in with a clipboard.

"Guys, it's time for your speech!"

"Thanks, Raven. Twilight, we'll talk after."

You and Twilight speed-walk in as Luna follows behind at a slower pace.

You take turns stepping up the stairs, and Twilight goes to the podium and clears her throat.

"Thank you all for coming today, from The Tundra, Griffonstone, Cloudsdale, and even as far as the Crystal Empire! It's great to see so many familiar faces coming here to celebrate the momentous occasion celebrating two whole years of our relationship. It really means a lot that you were all able to come, and we hope you enjoy the festivities. We will now hear from the significantly less equine half of the relationship."

She steps aside, and you take out a couple note cards as the crowd chuckles.

"Thank you all for coming today. It's hard to express my gratitude in words alone as so many people are here to commemorate our special day. It's been 2 years and some days since I was brought to this odd land where 95% of the citizens have fur, feathers, or both. You all accepted me with open arms and even the skeptics were really only concerned with how I'd react to a certain pink mare. ("ooh! that's me! that's me! that's me!" can be heard in the distance as the aforementioned pink mare has broken the loop)." You chuckle at the interruption. "And the pony I can be most thankful for in these two years has been Twilight Sparkle. I've trusted her throughout everything with the hopes she would be putting me on the right track to help me adapt to all of the local customs and traditions we have here. And that trust was tested the most in this past week, as we worked on relationship-building exercises the whole time, and never once did I believe she would steer me wrong. And for that I am forever grateful. She never once broke her trust in me, either. I believe that trust can only be strengthened over time, so the longer the better. And I would like to ask one question to a very special woman." You turn to Twilight as the crowd starts to gasp. "Princess Twilight Sparkle, will you marry me?" You say as you get down on one knee and present to her a ring with three amber diamonds with a pink star-shaped one in the middle

"Oh, yes, yes yes!" Twilight shrieks as she hops up and down, hands over her mouth. "I would love to."

You slide the ring on to her finger as the crowd applauds and you bring her in for a hug. You whisper over her shoulder as the crowd noise rises.

"So what were you gonna say earlier?" You ask.

"Oh, yeah, I'm pregnant." She half-whispers, and the crowd suddenly falls silent as you thought you heard her words echo.

You break the hug and look out at the crowd and your eyes are suddenly wide open as you have to realize what just happened.

"The mic was on, wasn't it?" you say into the obviously still-on microphone, as your now-fiancee offers a deadpan "Yes." as the crowd collectively facepalms. They all break into laughter as you all walk off the stage and the crowd turns away as they begin to now discuss what the hell just happened.

You meet up with Cadence and Shining Armor backstage as you try to avoid the crowd for a little bit and let things die down.

"Hello, new Prince!" Shining Armor says, slapping you on the back. Now that you looked at him, you never noticed that faint purple stripe in his hair before. You gesture to yours and he replies with a face that says "Yup. Same shit."

"Hey, Shining. Nice to see you. Thanks for helping set up. And for not ruining the secret." you say as you nudge your elbow at him.

"You knew?" Twilight says, lightly smacking her brother.

"Of course I did, your hubby asked me about it before this whole week, he wanted to talk to dad about it, too. That's why I offered to help. I had to make my baby sister's engagement party the best one possible!"

"How long have you had this planned?"

"For about 3 weeks." You said. I had a jeweler from the Crystal Empire get the ring made custom, Cadence helped with that, and I talked to your dad on that one day where you had that diplomacy meeting with the Saddle Arabians."

"And now that it's official, we're going to have to start planning for the wedding, which means bachelor and bachelorette parties!!" Cadence says, slightly clapping her hands. "We're going to get so white-mare wasted that night. I could get Discord to hook us up with a Champagne cloud."

"Yeah, and I can get us glass seats for the Ponyville Polars, you like hockey, right?" You nod.

"That's all well and good", Twilight says, "But we're going to have to wait for this little filly or colt first." She pats her stomach.

"We'll need plenty of time to plan so don't worry about it one bit." Cadence says. We'll think of everything. Congrats you two." She says as you shake hands with Shining and hug Cadence, and Twilight hugs both.

The two of you are alone now, and you finally decide to break the tension.

"So it's really happening, huh? You're having a kid, Luna's having a kid, and we're getting married. That's a lot to take in for one night. Are you sure we're ready?"

"Of course we are, " she responds, "This week has shown me that you literally don't give a shit about some things and that if you trust me, it's going to be alright. And I know this is going to be alright."

You smile as you come in for a hug, rubbing your noses together. "You're right. As long as we have each other, thing are going to work out."

A blue rainbow-maned pegasus manages to find you as she appears out of breath.

"Guys, I don't mean to interrupt your lovey-dovey sappy time, but you might have to come get Celestia. She's caught in a sweet-savory loop."

You sigh as Twilight needs to go attend to her mentor and you want to watch and maybe get it recorded for posterity (and maybe a little prosperity).

"Just make sure she stays away from the champagne cloud, alright?" You say to Twilight as you both jog over.

"I couldn't agree more."

Author's Note

HOLY SHIT I FINALLY FINISHED THIS

It's been over a year since I started, and whaddya know about one year exactly since the last chapter was published. so thanks for everyone being so patient. I went through a lot of personal stuff and procrastinated writing this so much. Funny that it took a Friday evening off of Adderall and Taco Bell to get me to finish this. I hope you all like it, and I'm not promising any more writing but now that this monkey is off of my back I might be more inclined to finish my other stories, since a lot of them are one shots with not as much story.
