"Huh? Oh, sorry. I was just daydreaming a bit." Twilight answers with a nervous smile.
"Well, as I was saying, AppleJack seems to be really excited about something, when I asked her about it she wouldn't tell me. What do you think has gotten her so excited?" Rarity asks.
"N-No idea, she might have a rodeo coming up." Twilight answers with a nervous stutter.
Rarity looks at Twilight with a questioning look in her eyes.
"You do know!" Rarity giggles. "C'mon tell me. Did she find a stallion? Oh, is he handsome?"
"Kind of." Twilight answers.
Twilight then nervously rubs her foreleg.
"Oooo, I love gossip!" Rarity says as she excitedly giggles. "If it's only kind of then that means she's found someone, but it's not a stall... Oh my god! She's got a marefriend?!"
Twilight nervously gulps and nods her head.
"Who is it?" Rarity asks with an excited smile.
Twilight blushes heavily and looks around the room.
"Oh, no need to be shy. Just tell me who it is." Rarity says with a large smile on her face.
"Well, urm, you see... It's, uh, it's me..." Twilight answers as her face explodes into a blush.
Rarity's jaw drops in shock, her face quickly shifting from excitement to pure surprise.
"You? I-I expected Rainbow Dash, not you. Wow, that's great!" Rarity excitedly giggles as she claps her forehooves together.
Twilight blushes and covers her face with her wings.
"This is incredible news! I thought it was going to be some normal gossip, but you darling, have just made my year." Rarity says with a large smile seemingly painted onto her face.
Twilight nervously laughs and rubs the back of her head.
"This is fantastic! Have you two been on a date yet?" Rarity asks.
"Yeah." Twilight answers with a nod.
Rarity gasps.
"This is the best news since the marriage of Princess Cadence and Shining Armour!" Rarity says as she pulls Twilight into a bear hug.
Twilight nervously smiles as her body is tightly squeezed by Rarity.
"Oh my god! I'll get to make dresses for the wedding!" Rarity excitedly squeaks.
"W-WEDDING?!" Twilight nearly shouts. "W-We haven't planned th-that far ahead."
"Don't be silly, of course I'll make them for you." Rarity says, her mind in it's own dreamland.
"W-What if we don't want to get married?" Twilight asks.
"Oh my god! I could make AppleJack's dress purple with an orange heart on the front!" Rarity squees.
Twilight sighs and lets out a quiet chuckle.
"Rarity I have to go, I have a date planned with AppleJack today so I need to get ready." Twilight explains.
"Do tell me how it goes dear." Rarity says as she starts digging through her piles of fabric and gems.
Twilight leaves the boutique with a happy smile on her face, the day's sun seemed to also be happy as it seemed to shine a little brighter then normal.
"Howdy there Twi, ya just finished talkin' to Rarity?" AppleJack's voice asks.
"Yeah, she's a bit busy right now. She's making a bunch of dresses." Twilight says with a shake of her head.
"Ah well, Ah guess it can wait till later. Ya ready to head out?" AppleJack asks.
"Yeah, I'-" Twilight answers before being cut off by AppleJack kissing her.
AppleJack then quickly pulls her lips away with a chuckle, leaving Twilight confused.
"That's fer stealin' one of mah apples yesterday." AppleJack says with a wink.
"H-How did you know?" Twilight asks with a look of amazement on her face.
"Ya shouldn't kiss a member of the Apple Family straight after eatin' an apple." AppleJack giggles.
Twilight's face turns bright red as the realization hits her.
"I-I couldn't help myself." Twilight mumbles.
"You stole an apple an' Ah stole a kiss, Ah'd say we're even." AppleJack chuckles.
Twilight pouts before wrapping her tail around AppleJack's.
"Where are we heading today anyway?" Twilight asks.
"Ah'm afraid Ah can't answer that, it'd ruin the surprise." AppleJack says as she kisses Twilight cheek.
"Hey!" Twilight says in mock anger.
"I couldn't help myself." AppleJack mocks back.
Twilight's face turns into a pout.
"W-Well I couldn't." Twilight mumbles.
"Neither could I." AppleJack says as she nuzzles Twilight's cheek.
The pair happily laugh together as they walk through ponyville and towards Apple Acres.
"We're going to your farm?" Twilight asks.
"Eeyup, there's this place we found a few days ago that Ah want ta show you." AppleJack explains.
"There's a place that you've never seen before?" Twilight asks.
"Yeah, it was just as suprising ta us." AppleJack answers.
AppleJack then led Twilight through the orchards, past the tree's right at the edge and towards a rocky outcropping.
"Is this it?" Twilight asks.
"Not yet, yer really excited fer this ain't ya?" AppleJack giggles.
"Sorry." Twilight says with a nervous laugh.
"Come on, Ah'll show you what Ah was talkin' about." AppleJack says as she leads Twilight around the outcrop.
As the pair come to the other side of the outcrop they see a cave enterance, leading into the ground.
"We're going down." AppleJack says as she starts to travel down into the mouth of the cave.
Twilight follows after her, unable to take her gaze away from the mare infront of her.
"Twilight, can ya light up the area with yer magic?" AppleJack asks.
Twilight's horn then starts to glow, bathing the surrounding area in light. In the ceiling and the walls of the cave shimmered different gems, all reflecting Twilights light in all directions. The way the gems shimmered in the rocky walls reminded the pair of the stars in the night sky, each gem sparkling made the cave seem magical, almost otherworldly.
"Wow..." Twilight mumbles, awestruck at the sight in front of her.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" AppleJack says as she wraps her tail around Twilight's.
"It is..." Twilight mumbles.
AppleJack kisses Twilight's cheek and sits down next to her, AppleJack's tail being wrapped around Twilight's tail dragged the engrossed mare down to a sit with her.
"I brought us here, just so we could watch 'em twinkle." AppleJack says with a blush.
Twilight turns her head to face AppleJack, giving her a gentle smile. Twilight then leans in and kisses AppleJack on the lips.
"Thank you." Twilight says with a happy smile.
The pair exchange one last kiss before turning back to the gems, watching their underground night sky shine for just them.
