Time Turner sat on Twilight's couch as she lay beside him, gently resting on his shoulder. He softly stroked her mane with his hoof.

She looked up towards him, and gently nuzzled his neck, which made him smile.

"I love you, Twilight." he said into her ear.

She smiled back at him. "You keep saying that." she giggled. "I love you too."

"I know I keep saying it, but because it's true. I sincerely do love you." he said.

They had just arrived home from a date. They went out for dinner, got some coffee, and took a nighttime stroll through park. However, it wasn't an ordinary date. It was, in fact, their six month anniversary. Six months since the ball in Canterlot, and now, everypony in Ponyville knew about Twilight and Time Turner.

"Did you have a good time tonight?" Time Turner asked Twilight.

"I had a wonderful time." she replied.

Twilight wasn't sure how their relationship managed to make it this far. Six months ago, she wasn't really the dating type, but now she had a coltfriend, and she loved him with all her heart.

They gave each other a quick kiss, and then Time Turner stood up.

He yawned a deep and long yawn.

"Oh, I'm tired." he said. He looked up at Twilight's clock, which had almost struck midnight. "Hmm, it's late. We should be getting to bed."

"Oh, ok." Twilight said, getting off the lounge. "Will you stay here tonight?"

"I don't know, I have a shift at the clock shop tomorrow morning."

"Pleeeeaaaaassee?" Twilight begged. "Come on."

"Ok, fine. But I'm not staying up."

Time Turner grabbed a pillow from the closet and dumped it onto Twilight's spare bed. Recently, Twilight had let him sleep in her other bed, due to her remembering that she actually had one.

He set his alarm, both got into bed, and Time Turner soon fell asleep.

Time Turner smacked his hoof down onto his alarm clock before it woke up Twilight. He got up and looked over at Twilight, still peacefully sleeping. He stretched his back, and walked downstairs.

He was about to leave for work, when something stopped him. He could smell something burning. He followed the smell to it's source, and found Spike, trying to make a pancake.

"Spike?" Time Turner asked, causing him to jump and turn around.

"Oh, it's you." he said. "You scared me."

"What are you doing?"

"I was, err, making breakfast?"

Time Turner looked back at the stove, and which had a pan on it with a pancake-thing cooking away, which looked like a burnt rock.

He looked worriedly at it, a bit concerned about a fire starting. Before he even finished that thought, the rock burst into flames.

"Ah! Fire!" yelled Spike.

"Quick, get some water."

Spike ran into the other room and returned a few moments later with a bucket of water. He threw it onto the stove, but by then, it was already too late. The drapes over the window caught fire, which quickly spread to the rest of the wall.

"Quick! Get out!" Time Turner yelled. They ran outside and looked at the burning house. "Oh no. The library!"

"But, where's Twilight?" Spike asked, worriedly.

Time Turner gasped in shock. "Oh no!"

Time Turner wasn't sure what to do. He could go in himself and save her, but that would put him in danger too. He knew he shouldn't go in, he should wait for the fireponies. They were professionals.

But he didn't know how long they would be. Twilight could be burnt to death by then.

Suddenly, he heard a scream from inside the burning building.

"Ahhhh! Fire!" screamed Twilight as she woke up, coughing from the thick smoke building up in her room.

"Twilight!" Time Turner yelled as he felt a sudden urge to save her. He ran into the door, but Spike grabbed his leg and stopped him.

"No, wait!" Spike said. "You can't go in there, it's dangerous."

"I have to save her." Time Turner said, shaking his leg from his weak grip. "I have to at least try."

Time Turner ran inside and squinted to stop the smoke from stinging his eyes. He climbed up the stairs, avoiding the flames, and found Twilight, coughing on the floor.

"Twilight, come here." Time Turner said as he grabbed her.

"Time Turner? What are you doing?" she coughed, her voice dry and raspy.

"I'm saving you."

"No, get out. There's not enough time." she coughed.

"I have to. I can't let you die."

He lifted her up and put her over his back. He then carried her down the stairs and across the room. The library was getting hotter and filled with more smoke. He couldn't see the door anymore, as it had been engulfed by the flames. As the smoke got thicker, he found it harder to breathe. He began to fall unconscious.

He still didn't give up, though. He couldn't pass out now, they would both die.

He knew there was only one way out, the doorway. He looked towards the flames and gulped. He didn't want to have to go through there, but he knew there was no other way out.

He yelled as he leapt through the flames, Twilight unconscious on his back. He crashed onto the ground and they rolled a few meters. He looked around, and saw a large number of worried ponies surrounding the library. He saw a couple of Twilight's friends, Rainbow Dash and Applejack, who watched in horror as the building fell apart.

Time Turner coughed heavily as he tried to remove the smoke from his lungs, but his coughs became weaker and weaker. Eventually, he collapsed and passed out.

Applejack galloped over to him and Twilight. "Oh no." she said. "We have to get them to the hospital."

Time Turner eyes were closed. He wasn't sure what was happening, but that was still a good sign; he was fairly sure he was alive, but he couldn't be completely sure.

He could hear other ponies talking around him, but it was quite muffled.

"Will he be okay?"

"Look, he's twitching. I think he's waking up."

"Yeah, yeah. His eyes are opening!"

He opened his eyes, but not very widely, and saw that he was in a hospital bed. He looked at the three ponies that were standing by his side; Rainbow Dash, Rarity and, of course, Twilight Sparkle.

"Hey," Rainbow Dash said. "you're finally awake."

"Hmmf." he moaned. "What happened?"

"You saved me from a fire." Twilight said with smile. She was relieved that her coltfriend was okay. "You shouldn't have done that. It was really stupid."

"I had to." Time Turner whispered, tiredly. "I couldn't leave you in there."

He turned and looked at the heart monitor, which beeped every second.

"Why am I here?" he asked.

"Well when you saved Twilight from the fire," Rarity said. "you breathed in a lot of smoke. And I mean a lot."

He smiled a weak smile at Twilight. "It was worth it."

"Thanks, you saved my life." she said. "It was stupid, but I'm alive thanks to you."

She leaned in and gave him a short, but strong, kiss on his lips. She could smell what was left of the smoke on his breath.

"You're welcome." he said with a faint smile. "How long have I been here?"

"The fire was yesterday." Rainbow Dash said. "You were lucky you didn't get lung cancer or something."

"Well, Twilight would have breathed in more smoke than me, how come she's not in hospital?"

"I was only in for a couple of hours. I'm very good with fire safety." Twilight said. "You never know when one's going to start."

"Really? Then how'd you stop the smoke?" Time Turner asked.

"Well, you're supposed to get low to the ground, because all the smoke will build up around the ceiling first."

Time Turner thought back to yesterday when the fire happened. "What happened to the library? Did it survive?"

Twilight shook her head sadly. "No, there's nothing left. Just a few books."

"Oh no, that's terrible." Time Turner said. "What's going to happen now?"

"Well," Twilight said with a slight smile. "the mayor is going to have it rebuilt, and she's going to get more books to fill it with."

"That's nice, I suppose."

He slowly got up out of his bed. He stood up and stretched his legs.

"You can live at my house for the time being." he said to Twilight. "Until your house is rebuilt."

She smiled a wide grin. "Really? That's great!"

Time Turner and Twilight arrived home. He got out his keys and opened the door. They walked in, and almost immediately, she pressed her muzzle up against his lips with a strong force.

They fell backwards onto the lounge and continued their powerful kiss. He held her in his forelegs, tightly embracing her.

Twilight pulled her lips away and looked straight into his eyes.

"I love you, Time Turner." she said. "You saved my life."

"I know," he said, stroking her mane. "I love you too."

"Thanks for letting me stay here. I really appreciate it." she said.

"It's no problem." he said with a smile. "Actually, it's the opposite. I'm glad you're staying at my place."

Twilight blushed and giggled.

"Speaking of which," he said. "where's Spike at?"

"He's staying with Rarity."

"Oh, ok." Time Turner knew about Spike's crush on Rarity, it wasn't really that hard to figure out.

Time Turner led Twilight into a room, showing her a bed.

"This is the guest room, you can sleep in here."

"Really? Thanks." she said happily. "Are you sure you don't mind? I don't want to be a bother."

"It's fine. Be my guest." Time Turner said. "I've stayed at your house lots of times."

Author's Note

This chapter isn't really important to the storyline, it's more of just a filler. In this chapter, I wanted to show how strong their love was for each other, by giving Time Turner the courage to go into a burning house to save the mare he loves.
