A camp to remember

Previous Chapter

In the Everfree forest, the mane six and Thorax were seen setting up their camping tents. Rainbow Dash has just finished hers in a flash, Applejack finished hers with a few strengths, Rarity finished hers with style, and Pinkie and Fluttershy finished theirs with patience along with Thorax and Twilight.

"Alright, the camps are setup." Twilight said.

"Nice now what?" Thorax asked.

"Now, we will go fishing!" Pinkie said as she grabbed some fishing equipments.

"Alright let's go!" Rainbow said with an exhilarated expression.

Then, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash all took off to a nearby lake to catch some fish with Pinkie holding all of the equipment with enthusiasm. But, when Rainbow rushed past Twilight, she accidentally tripped over a pole of Twilight's tent, then the tent fell on the ground which traumatized her.

"Hey! Rainbow!" Twilight shouted, but Rainbow Dash has already took off in the distance with her friends.

Twilight then sighted in frustration and began to fix her tent, she activated her horn and levitated the fallen pole up from the ground. Next, she balanced the support pole. And finally, she pulled the roof of the tent to get it in the right place, but when she did that, the support pole fell on the ground again and the tent was once again ruined.

"Ugh, this is all Rainbow Dash's fault." Twilight said with a vexed expression.

Thorax was about to follow the mane five to the lake where they are about to fish, but the sound of Twilight's grunting made him stop in his track. He turned around and saw Twilight starring at her ruined tent with a depressed expression. Thorax must assume that somepony must've knocked her ten down.

"Oh no, loom
ks like somepony knocked down Twilight's tent." Thorax thought with a shocked expression "I must help her." He said to himself. Then, he approached Twilight.

When Twilight heard some hoofsteps noises coming towards her. She looked to her right and saw Thorax coming towards her.

"Oh Thorax, you didn't go with my friends?" Twilight asked with a nonplus expression.

"I was about to, but then I heard the sounds of your grunting and I decided to turn around to see what's going on." He replied "And it seems like somepony knocked your tent down." He said.

"You are correct." Twilight said with a nod "And do you know who did it?" She asked.

"Um... maybe Rainbow Dash?" Throax asked raising an eyebrow. Thorax knew what has been happening between her and Rainbow Dash since they were dating which is kind of haunting in his mind.

"Bingo." Twilight said with a nod "And that gall mare is very hard to control." She said with a sigh.

"I guess." Throax said with a shrug. "Alright, now let's fix up your tent." He said.

Then, Thorax activated his horn and levitated the support pole up from the ground and placed it on a straight position. Next, he lifted it up and stuck it into the ground with some strength which astonished Twilight. And Finally, Thorax let go of the pole and adjusted the roof of the tent. After ten seconds, the tent was completely fixed.

"There, good as new." Thorax said with a smile.

Twilight smiled when she heard that. She was going to thank him but then, something else has caught her attention. And it was the sight of Thorax's muscle. Twilight slowly averted her eyes down on Thorax's chest level and hooves and saw that he has grown quite a bit of muscles.

"Wow, those are some nice muscles." Twilight thought, She began to think what it would be like to be embraced by them.

"Uh Twilight, are you okay?" Thorax called her.

When Twilight heard Thorax calling her, she immediately shook her head and looked up at him.

"Oh! Uh... hey Thorax! Uh... wait... uh... what were you going to ask? You what to read books?" Twilight asked with a red face.

Thorax was a bit disoriented from that event, he had no idea why Twilight was starting at his chest level and why she immediately changed the subject when he asked her if she wanted to go fishing. But, he disregarded it and asked her his question again.

"I was asking if you wanted to go fishing?"

When Twilight heard Thorax correcting her, she was very indignant towards herself.

"Oh great, now looks what you have done Twilight, he asked you if you wanted to go fishing and I asked him about books!" Twilight thought with an irked expression. After an awkward moment of silence, Twilight began to reply to Thorax's inquiry.

"I would like to go fishing right now Thorax." Twilight replied with a smile.

Thorax smiled and said "Good, now let's go."

Then, the two royals took off to the fishing area.


The mane five were seen fishing near a lake in another area in the Everfree forest. They were sitting at the side of the lake trying to catch some fishes, and they have been waiting for two minutes now.

"Ugh, this is quite tedious." Rainbow said with her right hoof on her cheek.

"You have to have some patience Rainbow." Applejack told her "That's what fishing is all about." She finished.

Rainbow rolled her eyes from that statement, she then looked at her right and saw Twilight and Throax fishing in a pond just a meter apart from them.

"I wonder what they are doing?" Rainbow thought with a smirk.

At the pond where King Thorax and Princess Twilight are fishing, Thorax was getting quite bored because of the lack of entertainment. He then looked at his right to where Twilight is sitting, and he blushed at her elegance, he began to ponder whether this was the perfect time to propose to her.

"Is this my chance?" Thorax asked himself with a blush.

He then shook the hypothetical thought out of his head and stuffed his agitation down. He then reached into his satchel to get the engagement ring box, but before He could even reach into it, Thorax felt a tight pull from his fishing rod.

"Huh?" Thorax said as he looked in front of him, and when he did, he saw that a big fish was biting the worm on his fishing hook.

"Whoa, this is a big one!" Throax said as he grabbed the real seat handle and began to reel in the fish.

Twilight was getting kind of sleepy from the boredom in the fishing moment, but suddenly, some noises caught her attention. She looked to her left and saw Thorax standing on the ground and trying to reel in something. She looked at the pond and saw that a large fish was attached to the hook of his fishing rod.

Thorax and the fish was struggling for a bit, but then, Thorax took a deep breath and released it and pulled in his fishing rod with all of his strength. At last, the fish was pulled out of the water and Twilight was amazed at Thorax's strength as well as the size of the fish.

"Whoa, now that's a big fish!" Twilight said with an astonished expression in her mind.

"Wow, now this is one big catch." Thorax said in amazement.

Thorax was going to get a closer look at the fish, but as he did that, the fish slapped his face with its tail.

"Ow, ow." Thorax said, with one more slap, Thorax released his grip from the fish and fell on the ground, then the fish flapped back into the pond.

Twilight giggled from that hysterical scene, she then bent down and patted Thorax on the head.

"Nice catch Thorax." She cooed.

"Thanks Twilight."


9:30pm

It was late at night now in the Everfree forest, and The mane six and Thorax were seen surrounding a fire roasting some marshmallows and eating salads as well as talking about the fun they had today.

"Today sure was an entertaining day!" Pinkie exclaimed with an enthusiastic smile.

"Agreed." Her friends nodded in unison.

After ten minutes of eating and talking to each other, everypony was getting very tired and sleepy. So they all called it a day and began to walk into their tents to sleep.

Thorax was looking at the engagement ring in his satchel and back to Twilight a few seconds later.

"I can't decline on a perfect opportunity like this."Thorax said to himself in his mind.

He then took a deep breath and let it out. Then, he gathered all of his courage and walked up to Twilight.

Twilight was about to enter her tent and sleep but suddenly, she was stopped when somepony grabbed her hoof. Twilight turned around and saw Thorax right in front of her.

"What's wrong Thorax?" Twilight asked.

"Tw-Twilight, wo-would you li-like me to take you somewhere I know?" Thorax asked with a humiliated blush.

Twilight was caught off guard for a second, but she stuffed it away and looked up at him with a smile on her muzzle.

"I would love to."

When Thorax heard this, his mind was filled with excitement.

"Great!" Thorax said with a smile "Now let's go."

Then, Thorax walked into a part of the Everfree forest with Twilight following him from behind.


Thorax has been guiding Twilight to the place he was bringing her for ten minutes now. And while they were walking, Thorax was standing behind Twilight with his hooves covering her eyes.

"Okay Thorax, where are you bringing me?" Twilight asked with a giggle.

"We're almost there." Thorax told her.

Twilight was about to ask him more inquiries she had in her mind but, after walking for ten seconds, they have came to a stop.

"Alright Twilight, you can look now."

Then, Thorax removed his hooves from Twilight's eyes and they widened when she witnessed what she saw. Around her was a beautiful area filled with flowers, bushes, trees and a beautiful waterfall and a water area the size of a swimming pool.

"Wow, this place is very pulchritudinous." Twilight said in awe.

"Indeed it is." Thorax said with a nod, "I told you that I know a beautiful place in the Everfree forest." He told her with a smile.

Twilight then looked up at the top of the waterfall and assumed that she would get a better view there.

"I want to go up at the waterfall." Twilight said.

"Then let's go." He said.

Then, the two royals spread their wings and hovered up to the top of the waterfall.

Once they got there, they gently descended onto the ground on the waterfall. And Twilight was astonished by the view.

"Wow, the view here is just extraordinary." Twilight said in awe.

"Indeed they are, but they are not as beautiful as you are." Thorax said.

Twilight blushed when she heard Thorax's statement.

"Why thank you." Twilight said with a blush.

"Your welcome." Thorax said "Now, let's go for a swim!"

After saying that, Thorax pushed Twilight and she began to fall to the water.

"Thorax!" Twilight screamed as she splashed into the water.

"Hahaha!" Thorax laughed, then he jumped down from the cliff of the waterfall and splashed into the water.

After five seconds, the two royals swam up to the surface and began to take a long breather.

"What in Equestria was that for Thorax?! You nearly scared me to death!" Twilight yelled viciously, but Thorax was laughing.

"So you think that's funny huh?" Twilight asked with a smirk. She then sucked up some water into her mouth and spat it towards Thorax, and the sudden move made him cough.

"Haha! Paybacks!" Twilight laughed.

Thorax joined in the laughter along with Twilight, after a few seconds, the two royals embraced each other in a loving hug.

"Hey Twilight, I want to give you something." Thorax told her.

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

Then, Thorax activated his horn and levitated a tiny soaked up box, and the sight got her kind of bewildered. But, once Thorax flipped it open, he revealed a very beautiful golden coloured engagement ring with a purple diamond on the top of it, and the sight made her gasp.

"Twilight, will you marry me?" Thorax asked.

Twilight then bursted into tears and jumped towards him, then she embraced him.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Twilight replied eagerly.

A warm smile then appeared on Thorax's muzzle and he hugged her back. After ten seconds, they released each other and leaned their muzzles close together. And they kissed.


Hiding in the bushes near them, Rainbow Dash has observed the entire romantic scene, and she had a warm smile on her muzzle. She had to admit, the scene was quite beautiful and romantic.

"Congratulations you two." Rainbow said softly.
