Dinky ran around the barren Canterlot Royal Reserve, inspecting all the statues of the Princesses, Queens and other Royal subjects. Ditzy and I walked side by side, treading lightly on the soft, well-kept grass. The early evening sun was casting an orange-red hue on the horizon, it reminded me of Ditzy's beautiful eyes. "So how was work, Ditzy?", she laughed lightly in sarcasm, "Oh, just a barrel of laughs. All the uptight Canterlot-ians talk to me like I'm handicapped because they're terrified to think they look or sound horrible or 'intolerant'. Still, it's a sight better than the name-calling, I suppose". I shook my head, "Some ponies, I can't stand bullies. I got them all the time when I was in Ponyville Elementary. They all made fun of me because my dad divorced my mother, so they all said I was unloved and a waste of space. Still, it gives me some comfort to know that the fillies that made fun of me are now probably in a worse state than I was back then. What goes around comes around". Ditzy nodded, "Yeah. I hope that happens to them. They sound horrible". Ditzy was still wearing her mailmare uniform. Her t-jacket looked so fitting on her petite figure, modestly displaying her grey coat in contrast to the light blue. Her grey softcap gracefully pressed her mane down into cute little strips of gold that framed her face perfectly. Not to mention how her shorts clung to her tightly enough to display her curvature, but loosely enough to let the hem blow in the wind, making her look strong and independant. Ditzy truly was a pony to admire. Ditzy must've seen my sight of admiration, as she swayed her lower half slightly more when she walked. I smiled lightly, highly grateful for this, making Ditzy blush and smile shyly, "You look just... perfect, Ditzy. I can't think of any other word to describe you. It's baffling how nopony else has tried to ask you out before". Ditzy smiled proudly, "Thank you, Crimson. But, 'baffling'?". I laughed lightly, "Sorry, I kind of use silly and arbritrarily sophisticated words when I'm with a mare that I really like". (A mare that I really like...), Agh! Why did I say that on the first date!? Ditzy blushed, "You... you really like me?". I nodded, "You're wonderful in every way. I can't believe it's taken me this long to fully realise that. I was a fool to think I was in love with Snow. Even in the past two days where we've actually spent any real time together, you've already welcomed me into your house and trusted me with your daughter. You've even allowed me a date with you. I think you're just perfect". Ditzy smiled warmly, still blushing intensely, "I suppose it's safe to tell you this now... I've kind of always had a crush on you. You were so kind to me when I was delivering your mail. You'd always have a heartwarming smile and your voice always made my stomach flutter whenever you talked. I always tried to cover it by talking officially and 'according to the Mailmare Rulebook', but at times, when I saw you smile and talk sweetly, I couldn't help but blush. But then I felt a depression when you went back in your house and hugged or kissed Snow Sweet". We reached a bench in front of a gilded fountain and sat down, side by side, watching Dinky run merrily through the vast garden. Ditzy rested her head on my shoulder and sighed, "This is my first date you know. I haven't even kissed a stallion before". I moved my arm around her and held her gently, "I can't believe no stallion has ever tried asking you out. You're the most amazing and strong mare I've ever known, and I'm not just saying that. Every I'm telling you is true". Ditzy lifted her head and gazed up to me, her yellow eyes sparkling in the impending moonlight, "Crimson... may I?" . Her breath was hot on my muzzle. I nodded, resting my arms on Ditzy's lower back. Ditzy wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down into a kiss. My pulse rate spiked incredibly, making my arms and body feel numb. I reflexively wrapped my arms around Ditzy's midsection, pulling her closer into me. She tasted sweet and almost delicious, like... like muffins. She opened her mouth and closed it back down, her lips brushing against mine. The whole sensation was moist, warm and incredible. All I could think of was the beautiful Pegasus that was held firmly in my arms, nothing else. I didn't want to think about anything else as Ditzy suddenly became my world. I moved forwards slightly to put us both at the same level, relieving the pressure bestowed upon Ditzy. I began to move my arms upwards, Ditzy took hold of them by my wrists and aided my movement. Ditzy reluctantly broke away, blushing lightly. I gazed deep into her dazzling yellow eyes, "Th-thank you, Crimson. That was wonderful". I nuzzled her lovingly, "You're wonderful, Ditzy". She exhaled and rested her head on my shoulder, "I haven't felt that happy with somepony other than Dinky before. I think... I love you". I should've been shocked, but I wasn't. This felt right, "Ditzy?". She wrapped her arms around my chest, "Yes, Crimson?". I moved my arms behind her head and stroked her hair gently, "I... I love you too. Will you be my special somepony?". Ditzy squeezed me affectionately, "More than anything". I coiled my arms around Ditzy and embraced her firmly, "Crimson! Mama!", Dinky was running towards us at a high speed, smiling happily. She stopped suddenly and skidded, halting directly in front of us, "Mama, is Crimson your very special somepony?". Ditzy smiled warmly, "Yes, Muffin, he is". Dinky sprang into the air, "Yay! My Mama has a special somepony!". She jumped up onto the park bench and hugged me as tightly as she could, "I told you Mama liked you!". Ditzy looked up, smiling almost tauntingly. I blushed, "Dinky and I were talking about you earlier. She loves you to pieces and thinks you are 'the best Mama in the whole world'. Then she found out that I... liked you". Dinky giggled, "Crimson, I know you more than like Mama. Saaaay it". Ditzy nodded, smiling playfully, "Yeah, Crimson, saaaay it". I leaned in and kissed Ditzy softly, "I love you, Miss Ditzy".
