Seven Shades of Rainbow

That day, the customers of Sugarcube Corner were greeted by the most adorable new couple in Equestria. All the village was instantly dazzled by the rainbow that brought us together and, of course, nopony could miss the chance to meet the awesome responsible for such a thing, right?

That was also the day Sugarcube Corner saw the most clients it ever saw, with the immense satisfaction of the Cakes, obviously! I always thought that the two never liked me very much.

It could’ve been true since, well, there was that time when little Pound Cake saw me trying some stunts outside the window and started wandering all around the shop with his little two wings, while the Cakes and Pinkie tried for the whole afternoon to make him come down before he hurt himself, but I guess we are even after my stunt.

It’s not that I did that on purpose: It is my fault the little guy has good taste in choosing his role models?

But the best part of that day ( after the sex, of course...) was Pinkie’s face at the end of it and what she said to me. Her smile was so wide and serene, more than I ever thought it could be, and she approached me, nuzzling against my neck, and whispered these words: Now everypony knows how to smile, at least for today.

Coming from her, it was the sweetest thing anypony said to me. I never thought I could love her more than I did that day, but Celestia knows I’m trying and I’ll never be apart from her. Ever again.

I wanted to start slowly and carefully, since I didn’t want to repeat that misstep from before. Of course, neither did Pinkie. There were days that she spent all of her free time just being at my place, just exchanging soft kisses or holding each other in a tender hug. She said that she never wanted to spend a night apart from me ever again. I laughed and told her that she was a little bit too sappy for my tastes, but having the privilege of her beautiful blue eyes being the first thing I see every morning is worth all the sappiness in the world. I think she’s aware of that, too.

Pinkie always knows how the heart of this wild pegasus works...Just the way I want it.

Only one thing bothered me: inside the shop, Pinkie caught a glance outside of somepony I could swear I already saw before, but I couldn’t wrap my head around it. That was the moment I saw in her eyes that same abysmal look she had when we passed above Sweet Apple Acres. Only this time I didn’t ask any question, because I knew there was only one thing to do: be there for her.

I stepped in and simply hugged her with a wing, pulling her close. No words, no explanations: she calmed down that very moment and nuzzled my neck before planting a small kiss of mi neck. I love you, Dashie, she whispered.

The only thing I wanted to hear and she had to say.

Not even when we saw him again at Pinkie Pie’s latest party and Twilight approached him, wearing one of the finest outfits that Rarity made, my adorable marefriend’s smile didn’t falter, except for just a second, and held me tight like it was the only thing that mattered in the world.

I’m not smart like Twilight, but I can still put two plus two together, so I didn't ask any question. I hope those two may have a chance together. I hope the same also for Rarity and Applejack and, by the way, I've apologized to her for that time Pinkie were making out in her shop. Thanks Celestia I was right about the six of us being fundamentally good ponies and thank Celestia for AJ bursting out in a roaring laughter the moment she heard the whole story to lighten up the mood! I don't know how Cloudchaser and Thunderlane are holding up right now, but I think they're gonna be fine. Now that he's hot his happy ending I don't think he'll ever be the bane of my life anymore.

Or maybe I could stop blame him for everything.

...

Nah, I'm still sure it was him that left that cloud out there, but I can't say anything until I have proofs.

I’m not that arrogant to think I’m gonna be a replacement for Pinkie or whatever, just like I’ve never treated her as a replacement in my heart for AJ. I love her for just what she is...and I’ll always will. The blue in her eyes tells me that she knows it as well.

That’s why I’m right there, staring at the display case of that jewelry shop.

I know I have mentioned to take this slowly, but I know I’ll have to make this step one day. I want to, actually. I would be stupid to miss the chance to live the rest of my life with her properly.

That ring there is probably going to cost me a good deal of my savings, but it’s fine. I would do it for her.

One day, she really is going to marry that Rainbow, like my love always wanted.

The End
