That moment you realize you're awake.

Authors Note:  "..."

The next morning.

A knock on the door woke us up. We groaned and I tossed a pillow at the door.

I heard the door open and light hit my closed eyes and an over excited voice began talking.

"Hello! Sleepy heads!" Princess Cadence greeted. Shortly after I heard the drapes on the windows get pulled wide open to let in the morning sun.

"Please C-Ca-Ca....." I heard Princess Celestia begin, but she was cut off by a few sinking splats in the bottom of a bucket or trash can.

"Oh my....are you okay, Princess Celestia?" Cadence asked.

Now I opened my eyes. I saw Celestia sitting up in bed. Head half in a trash bin. I heard her make some wheezes and then more splats on the bottom of the trash bin.

"I-I.......don't know.......wha-wh-w-whats wrong!" Celestia exclaimed before vomiting some more.

I came over and put a hoof around her. "Did you eat anything weird or funny tasting yesterday?"  I asked.

"N-no!" She exclaimed in between gasps and vomits.

A guard came into the bed room and stood in the doorway, "Seethe Master, sir. An older couple is here to see you."  he said in a gruff voice.

"What?" I asked.

"They claim to be your parents." He said.

"Fine," I said "Cadence, stay here with Celestia, I'll go see why my parents are here."

The guards held up my parents at the castle entrance. I walked quickly and had the guards stand down. (Yeah, they know me that much)

"Seethe! Did Celestia do it yet?" Mom asked.

"Do what?" I asked.

"Honey!" Dad scolded "He doesn't have the ring so of course she didn't!"

I was confused so I used my own Royal voice interpretation to shut up the argument they had begun.

"Mom, Dad,..........SHUT UP!" I shouted. They fell silent "Now.....what are you talking about?" I asked.

Mom was first to speak between the two of them. "Well....we really shouldn't say......but I can't hold it in and Celestia didn't keep to her promised time....................remember when you proposed to Celestia while you were drunk?" Mom asked.

"Yeah, I said we weren't ready for that step and gave the rings to you two, to hold onto to." I said remember that day.

My father picked up the rest of it "A few days ago Celestia came over and asked for the rings, we gave them to her, she said she was going to propose yesterday at dinner. We were suppose to be here yesterday but we missed the train yesterday." Dad explained.

I was blown away by this. My brain seemed to stop, my heart seemed to stop, and the world seemed to stop. I thought I had died of a massive heart attack right there. But no, the world just kept going.

"Wh-what?" I said still trying to figure out if I had died for a few seconds and had a imagined the last few seconds.

"She, as in Celestia, said she was going to be the one to propose and she said it would be at dinner. Yesterday." Dad said.

"WHAT!?" I shouted now shocked and mentally blown away.

"Hey, Celly? Can I talk to you about something?" I asked as I came in to the bedroom.

"No, I need to ask you something." Celestia said taking her head out of the bucket. "I let myself be a nervous filly and chicken out but now I'm just going to do it....." She took a deep breath, my heart stopped. Here it comes. Celestia exhaled. Then her horn glowed and a little box came out of a pillow from the very head of the bed. It flew before me surrounded in a golden aura. Celestia spoke again "I know it's not a traditional thing for my gender to ask but......................." the box opened and revealed 2 rings. I saw the one with 'Property of Princess Celestia' engraved on it. ".........will you marry me?"

Now I know why some mares just about explode when those 4 words are used on them. You get sort of an excited chill up your spine, that kicks you in the face and says "DO IT!".

I panicked and didn't think about the next word I screamed "YES!"

Luckily......I meant to just say that.

Celestia smiled as she put the ring on my horn and her ring on her horn.

She pulled me to her and passionately kissed me.

My mother had my Dad's camera,  She began snapping photos as the Princess showed her approval for that one word.

She stopped the kiss and began to grow in excitement "This is wonderful! We're going to be so happy!" She pulled me in tight for a massive lung crushing, wind pipe collapsing, hug.

My mother snapped another photo. "Ooh! That's our new Hearths Warming card photo!" She exclaimed.

"Ack! You hug harder than.....ack!......Dad!!" I choked out.

"Ah yes, sorry about that." Celestia said. She looked to mom and dad. "Come here Mother-in-law and father-in-law, give your new daughter-in-law a hug." Celestia said holding out her fore hooves.

Mom and Dad were also hugged in unison by the Princess.

"Seethe! I'm being hugged by Princess Celestia!" Dad exclaimed as Celestia hugged him.

"I know Dad......but.........I slept with her!" I said.

"And your engaged!" Mom sobbed through tears of pure joy.

Celestia released my parents, my mother wiped away her tears. Celestia  stood by me and asked.

"What do we do now?"
