"Flurry, did you have to bring me here blindfolded, what is this big surprise anyway?" Cozy Glow asked trying to peak from behind the blind fold.
"Just a bit further, Cozy. Trust me, you'll love it." Flurry said with enthusiasm as she pulled her marefriend into a crystal garden.
Flurry and Cozy arrived in a beautiful garden with tall crystal trees with small gems hanging off the leaves. The grass was pure green and soft. The cold night air breezing through it, giving the garden a gentle breeze. A big, silver moon hung in the sky, leaving a soft glow all around.
"Okay, you can take off the blind fold now." Flurry said. Cozy slowly removed the blind fold and looked around in awe.
"Wow, Flurry! This place is amazing." Cozy uttered. She rubbed her hoof against the grass, feeling the soft and itchy green beneath her.
"I knew you would like it. Now come with me, this isn't the surprise." Flurry took Cozy's hoof and walked her a little further into the garden to where a little white picnic bench was placed. On top of it, was a candle and a dinner set for two. Near the table was a medium sized basket filled with food and drinks.
"Flurry, did you do this all for me?" Cozy asked, taken back by the cute little area for the two of them.
"Surprise! Happy anniversary Cozy!" Flurry announced with joy, leading them to the table and sitting opposite Cozy.
"Oh pony feathers! I can't believe I forgot! I'm so sorry Flurry, happy anniversary!" Cozy said with a sorry grin on her face.
Flurry reached out her hooves and gently placed them on hers. "It's okay. All that matters is that we're here now." Flurry smiled and looked into her crimson eyes. Cozy stared back as they shared a brief moment of love.
"Anyway, shall we eat now, or are we just gonna keep staring?" Flurry asked smugly, a smirk spread across her face as she noticed the pink pegasus's blush.
"Right, sorry." Cozy chuckled as she brought up the basket that was lying behind her.
Flurry used her magic to open it and brought out the meal that was in there. She placed two gourmet burgers on the plates, followed by two glasses of lemonade.
"Burgers? Really, Flurry?" Cozy questioned with a grin as she took a bite of her burger.
"Yeah, burgers are delicious!" Flurry said defensively as she took a bite of hers.
"Okay, okay, I agree with you, burgers are delicious." She admitted, taking another bite.
The pair talked for the evening while enjoying their meal. Then came dessert, a chocolate souffle with raspberries.
Once they had finished, Flurry invited Cozy for a late night fly above the Empire.
"It's a beautiful night, isn't it." Flurry asked her, with a new found nervousness in her stomach.
"Yeah, the crystals really do shine at night, huh?" Cozy replied, flapping her wings and moving closer to her marefriend.
Cozy and Flurry flew closer together, not saying a word. They felt only each others warmth and the chill night air.
They soon stopped on a nice, fluffy cloud to rest. Cuddling up in each other's arms for warmth.
"So, uh, today was a pretty nice day, don't you think?" Cozy asked, trying to start conversation.
"Yeah. Real good." Flurry replied, turning to face her. "Though I think the Empire needs to liven up a bit. Not much really happens. Not ever since Twilight took over."
"Yeah, I guess so. It's cool that so many creatures can now move in and out of Equestria. We should maybe visit Yak-Yakastan some time. I've always wanted to go there." Cozy suggested, giggle a bit at the idea.
"I thought you don't like the cold?" Flurry said with a cocked eyebrow and a smirk.
"Eh, I've been living with you in the Crystal Empire for the past four months, I think I'm used to it." Cozy answered, waving a hoof.
The two shared a small laugh before the silence settled in again.
"I heard Pinkie and Cheese just had a baby. I think her name was Lil Cheese?" Flurry said, breaking the silence once more.
"Oh yeah! I remember going to their foal shower about two or three months ago." Cozy claimed, remembering seeing Pinkie with a medium sized baby bump as she opened presents for the baby.
"Yeah, too bad I couldn't come, I had a full list of duties and royal treaties to sign that day." Flurry said with a frown.
They stopped talking after a while and instead watched the city below as a few house lights shone in the city. They observed the night watch guards petrol the castle, holding their spears close while others just dozed off, leaning on them for support.
As Flurry was watching, she remembered what she came up here to do. Butterflies swarmed her stomach as she remembered the little white velvet box the was hidden in her mane.
She felt the time was right, so she cleared her throat and built up the courage to speak.
"C-cozy, can I ask you something?" Flurry asked, nervousness clear in her voice.
"Sure, what is it?" Cozy asked her turning to see a nervous Flurry.
Flurry got up and stood above her. Cozy rose up to to meet her gaze with curiosity. Flurry then bent down on one knee and shakily used her magic to pull out a little white velvet box. Cozy gasped as she looked at the box then Flurry, tears building up in both their eyes.
"Cozy, I have know you for only four months, but in these four months I have grown to love you so much. You make me smile when I'm down, you keep me company when I'm lonely and I really, really want to spend my life with you. Cozy Glow, will you marry me?" Flurry opened the box to reveal a silver hoof band decorated with red rubies that matched her eyes.
"Y-yes! Yes Flurry Heart, I will marry you!" Cozy flung herself into Flurry's arms as they shared a passionate kiss. When the broke apart, Flurry placed the silver hoof band on Cozy's hoof and hugged her once more.
"I love you Cozy." Flurry whispered to her softly.
"I love you too Flurry." Cozy whispered back, holding her closer as tears streamed down her face.
"Do you, Princess Flurry Heart, take this pegasus to be your lawfully wedded wife. In sickness and in health until death do you apart." Twilight asked her with a gentle smile.
"I do." Flurry answered with a confident voice.
"And do you, Cozy Glow, take this alicorn to be your lawfully wedded wife. In sickness and in health until death do you apart."
"I do." She replied with the same confidence.
"Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you wife and wife, you may kiss the bride!" Twilight stepped back as the two mares passionately kissed each other.
"I love you." Flurry said to her as they broke apart.
"I love you too."
