"Mmmm, that was perfect," Sunny said as she cradled me in her arms.
"Really? I mean, I know it was good but I didn't think it was perfect," I said with a smile. "But if you enjoyed it that's all that matters"
My head was gently nestled on her bosom as we watched the sun slowly sink over the horizon. The pinkish-red hues reflecting on the distant clouds made for a beautiful display.
"If the rest of the girls knew what we were doing out here, I guarantee they'd be jealous," I said, leaning up to kiss my fiancé.
After returning my kiss, Sunny replied, "I'm pretty sure that Applejack and Rainbow Dash have done this a few times since their trip to Crystal Beach last fall." She brushed the hair out of my eyes and continued. "Maybe next time we should ask all of them to join us. We could have a lot of fun together."
After thinking for a moment, I looked at her beautiful aqua eyes and nodded in agreement. By now the there was only a sliver of the sun visible as the night sky slowly appeared behind us. While the stars weren't quite visible yet, the dusk sky reminded me how much I loved Sunny and couldn't wait for our big day this coming autumn.
"We should probably be heading back home," said Sunny, lifting my head and giving me another kiss. "We do have school tomorrow."
I gave her a pouty lip and puppy dog eyes before she lightly glided her hands down my sides and began tickling me. "Okay, okay. I give," I said as I collapsed onto my back.
Sunny held herself up over me and as we gazed into each other's eyes once more before we finally got up and gathered up the containers and blanket from our picnic.
"Was it really perfect?" I asked as we headed back to her bike.
"Couldn't have done it better myself."
I smiled realizing that it was the setting of our date, not that our food consisted of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, is what made it... perfect.
The next day after we picked up our prom dresses from Rarity's studio, Sunny and I went back to my house. We dropped our bags at the door and went into my room to model them. Even though we have seen each other in various states of undress, we decided to change in my huge walk-in closet and come out to show off our dresses.
My jaw nearly hit the floor when she came out of the closet. Even without her hair styled and the makeup, she was stunning.
Her dress was a black, single strap dress that was adorned with red and gold rhinestones along the collar. The folds of the skirt area had satin red and gold fabric that glistened in the light. Topping off the ensemble was a pair of silver high heel shoes with her cutie mark and a sheer, sparkling red stole.
“Well, are you just going to sit there with your mouth open or are you going to tell me how you like it?” she said, smirking.
I shook my head, bringing me back to my senses as I continued to check out Sunny from head to toe as she did a slow spin before striking a sultry pose with her left hand on her hip.
“It's beautiful,” I managed to somehow say. “But it is missing something.”
“Oh, really? What's that?”
I hopped off my bed, latched onto her arm and replied, “Me.”
After a small titter, Sunny lifted my chin and softly told me, “You're so adorkable when you're clingy.”
We both had a small laugh before I went into the closet to change into my dress while Sunny changed out of hers.
My dress was more like an evening gown. It had two-inch wide shoulder straps, navy blue in color with purple and pink stripes along the sides and silver rhinestones on the front simulating the night sky. The bottom had pink lace along the edge of it. My shoes were purple heeled slippers. The finishing touches were a silk pink stole and lavender elbow length gloves that had my six-pointed star embroidered midway up the length.
I stepped out into my room and saw Sunny had almost the same dumbfounded expression on her face as I did. I bent over and blew her a kiss before fixing my glasses and winking.
“You look… wow. Just… wow,” she sputtered.
“Thanks,” I said happily. “But mine is missing something, too.”
Sunny got off my bed, still in her underwear because the rest of her clothes were still in the closet, and put her arms around me. She gave me a light kiss on the cheek and asked, “Is this what's missing from it?”
“It sure is,” I answered, pulling her into a tight embrace.
The following Saturday while Sunny and I were getting ready for prom, I decided to bring up an article that I had read since we had gotten back from Equestria.
“Um, Sunny? Can we talk for a minute?”
“Sure, babe. What's on your mind?”
I lightly tapped my fingers together nervously as I figured out the best way to approach the subject.
“Twi, you can tell me anything. You know that” she said as she wrapped her right arm around me.
“Are… are we rushing things?”
I asked meekly.
“What makes you think that?”
“Well we just started dating in February, you proposed last month while we were in Equestria and now we have the wedding later this year,” I fretted.
I was silenced by a finger to my lips and a loving gaze from her eyes. Tears of worry filled my eyes as Sunny took control of the discussion.
“Let me ask you a question. When did you first discover your feelings for me?” she asked softly.
“It was at Camp Everfree. But I didn't even have the nerve to tell you without Pinkie's help,” I said with a stray tear rolling down each cheek.
“And that's fine. Honestly, if it wasn't for you and Pinkie setting me up, I probably never would have spilled my feeling for you.”
“But still, what if I say or do something that will make you leave? I-”
“Twilight, listen. Nothing will happen to us to make me leave you,” she reassured as she pulled me into a hug. “Sure we'll have our arguments but what couple doesn't? Like I said three months ago, I knew from the instant you took my hand at the Friendship Games that we were destined to be together.”
She leaned back and wiped the tears that were rolling down my cheeks and planted a small kiss on my lips.
“No more tears. Tonight's about having fun with friends, dancing until we drop, winning Prom King and Queen and then partying ‘til the cows come home at Pinkie's house,” Sunny reminded me.
One question did pop into my head as I thought about winning one of the most prestigious awards in high school.
“Um, Sunny?”
“Yeah, Babe?”
“Who would be King and who would be Queen?”
