Twilit Nightfall

Sorry about this not being the real chapter 4.... Life has kinda gotten in the way lately, which kinda sucks for me. But, I did manage to write something out. Short but sweet, and I hope you like it!!!

Also, this cements Nightmare moon's new name, now I've just gotta finish writing out chapter 4. Expect it some time next week!!!

-Timeline Unknown-

Serene led Twilight through Canterlot's winding streets on a starry night. Twilight would have normally been wary of following the being that was once Nightmare Moon, but recent times had changed her mind. That still didn't make Twilight any less curious as to their destination.

“Where are we going again?” Twilight asked for the thousandth time that night.

Serene giggled and responded in a sing song voice, “You'll see when we get there!”

Twilight just huffed in a playfully annoyed manner. After everything that the couple had been through, it was hard to see her marefriend doing anything unsavory. So, Twilight just sat back and enjoyed the ride. Eventually, the sound of pounding bass hit Twilight's ears.

“A club?” Twilight asked incredulously, “We're going to a club?”

“Yep!” Serene said enthusiastically, “I... or rather, Luna, knew the DJ here....”

Serene lapsed into a thoughtful silence after her declaration, memories assaulting her. Then, rather like Pinkie Pie on a sarsaparilla binge, she bounced right back and took the lavender mare beside her by the hooves and bounced into the building.

Twilight, who was used to her mate's eccentricities, allowed herself to be dragged into the club where the music was louder and more forceful. She looked around and saw a bar, lined with ponies getting drinks and enjoying them. There was a dance floor and all of the ponies there were dancing in time with the loud music, sweating, all with huge grins on their faces.

“Go out onto the dance floor, Twiliy!” Serene yelled in Twilight's ear, “I've got to talk to the DJ for a moment!'

“I don't....!' Twilight began in protest, but Serene was already headed towards a blue maned mare with sunglasses on that was sitting behind various DJ equipment. Sighing and smiling, Twilight moved to the dance floor.

After a few moments, the music died down and the blue maned mares voice came over the speakers.

“HEEELLLOOOO, CANTERLOT!” She bellowed, “This is DJ PON-3 with a small announcement!”

The crowd groaned and the DJ said, “I know, I know, total buzz kill, right? But I have a guest up here that said she wants to sing for her marefriend!!”

The crowd all turned and looked up at the booth in equal measures of curiosity and confusion. They saw Serene looking down at one spot in the crowd in particular and waving a hoof. Twilight saw several heads turn in her direction and tried to make herself as small as possible.

Serene took the mic from the DJ and said, “Twilight Sparkle, I love you. This is for you, beautiful!!”

Then the music started. It started off a bit slow for the type of club that was being run, then the guitar started playing. Then Serene's voice filled the club, starting off quietly at first, then getting louder as she hit the chorus. Twilight felt her heart flutter faster than it had in every battle she'd been in up to that point. She felt light headed as she danced along to the music. Seeing how much fun Twilight was having, Serene began walking towards her as the music ended. She moved the mic out of the way as she got to her lover and kissed her. Twilight blushed heavily into the kiss as the crowd cheered their approval.

“Well!” DJ PON-3 said, “congrats to the lucky couple! Now, I'm gonna get a drink and do the same for my marefriend! 'TAVI!!! Come here you beautiful pony you!!!” The DJ stepped down from the booth and went to the back of the club where a grey coated, black maned mare was waiting with an exasperated smile.

“Did you like that?” Serene asked in a quiet voice.

“I was embarrassed half to death, kissed in front of half of Canterlot, and.... just listened to the most beautiful thing I've heard in a long time...” Twilight said breathlessly, “I didn't like it, I loved it.... and I love you.” she went in for another kiss as the crowd began dancing to the tracks that the DJ had started before she left.
