Princess of Eventide

For a long while, Twilight and Celestia lay there, basking in each other's glow. Celestia's lips possessively caressed those of the much younger mare, and the heat of the room came upon them.

"I feel so warm, Princess," said Twilight, leaning into her much larger lover. "I hope you know, that, no matter where this relationship takes us, I'll always love you."

Her Princess leaned into her, saying, "Twilight, while I do have high hopes of where our recent actions will take us, no matter what becomes of them, my love will always be true."

Twilight made an embarrassed, but also amused face, nervously clenching her jaw.

"At least the sweetness isn't tangible or breathable," she said, looking up at the princess apologetically.

"And why is that, my faithful student," Celestia asked her amusedly, eyes gleaming.

"Well, we'd have probably choked about halfway through what you said," Twilight responded, nuzzling her mentor's barrel. "So, what do you hope," she asked, softly licking up the other's neck.

Celestia brought their lips together in a soft, loving embrace, before responding. "What is the most that you have ever dreamed of?"

"Well,"Twilight begins, looking up to the Princess with intensity. "Ever since I watched you raise the sun as a filly, my dream has been to be as close to you as possible. After I became your student, I wanted to stand by your side for as long as I could. My commitment to you has only grown with time, Princess. I-- if it were possible-- I'd marry you in a heart beat, and have your foals in the next.That's my dream, Celestia. To marry you, and to stand by your side for as long as my body lasts," Twilight finished, pressing her lips to Celestia's with extreme fervour.

Celestia met and returned Twilight's kiss with an equal expression of intensity that was so strong, the sun itself was nearly put to shame.

"My dreams are very similar to yours, Twilight," Celestia said, eyes aglow. "I, too, would marry you at a proper time, Twilight Sparkle, and after that happens, I will take great delight in giving us foals. However, the scope of my dream is longer. I dream of us standing together for all time, for as long as the sun shall burn, and magic flow, Twilight. I would not see you, the mare of my dreams, crumble into the flow of time as so many others have and will. I want you to stand in the pantheon with Luna, Cadance, and myself and our foals." Celestia paused, looking concerned that she'd said too much. "So, I suppose the question now is, are my dreams too big for hope?"

"Never, Celestia," said Twilight, adoringly. "I said that it was my dream to stand by you for as long as I could. If my body can last forever, I suppose my devotion will too."

They kissed. Inside Twilight's and Celestia's head, the wheels were turning. Now how do I propose to her? Then, a magical alarm that Celestia set up aeons ago began to sound.
