Chapter 6: shut up and accept it
/lGKNKf7ebDQ listen to this song during the dance scene.
It was a few months after Pinkie Pie's birthday. The grand Galloping Gala was coming up. Pinkie Pie and shadow's relationship was official, and everyone seemed to be okay with that. But some questioned if they really did love each other. Even Rainbow Dash herself doubted their relationship, Even after the "Pokey" incident. Everytime they entered some place together, eveypony whispered about them. Pinkie pie was quite embarrassed.
"Are you ready for the gala?" Rarity asked shadow. They were in the boutique. Rarity was making a custom tux for shadow.
"Yeah. I don't know what everpony's problem is with me and pinkie pie." Rarity turned from her work. "I don't see the problem." She took off her glasses, while putting the finishing touches. "You two were made for each other!" Rarity squealed Slightly. Shadow blushed. "Thanks, rarity. At least somepony's okay with it." Rarity smiled and levatated the tux to him. It was the normal colors, black and white, but with a red stripe on the neck line. "Now, mind you, this is my first time making an outfit for an hedgehog, so i hope it isn't too bad." Shadow put it on. "Are you kidding?! This is great!" Rarity grinned real wide. "You're welcome. Now i have to work on every pony else's. Including your friends. " she checked shadow off her list. "and remember, opposites attract."she winked at him. "Thanks." Shadow took off out the door.
Meanwhile Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were having a tea party. "Who's coming to the Gala with you,Fluttershy?" Pinkie asked, as she took a sip of tea. " Tails asked me to the gala. And I said yes!" They both squealed like little foals. " congrats Fluttershy, you on the first step to being together!" Pinkie bounced around. Fluttershy blushed slightly. " and I presume that you and Shadow will be going together?" Fluttershy grinned. She stopped jumping for a second and looked up to the clouds." Yeah. I'm just worried about what other ponies will say. You know I'm sensitive." Pinkie Pie brushed her tail back and forth. Fluttershy nodded. "I dont see the Problem with us together. " pinkie said. "Me either. You two were made for eachother. As ponies say, Opposites attract." "Thanks,flutters." pinkie regained her confidence and took a sip of tea.
The gala has finally arrived.
Shadow wondered what happens at galas. he had been acting really moody lately, and Pinkie Pie has been trying to keep him in check.
Pinkie hoped it whould go well, considering the last two.
That hope would remain.
At the gala, the group was greeted by celestia. " welcome friends." She bowed to twilight. "Tonight will be the best night of your life." Shadow rolled his eyes. " I beg to differ." He mumbled.
"What's that mr. Gumpy pants?" Pinkie pie walked near him. " Are you starting to regret our little deal?" She jokingly nudged him with her hoof. Shadow gulped. He made a deal that, togeher, they whould shut every pony up with their gossip. Permanently. he also knew what pinkie could do to him, if he refuses. "No." He took her by hoof. " i'm not one to back out of a challenge." He had a little, sly smile on his face. Pinkie grinned. back at him.
"I'm glad i could make it this year." Twilight conversed with celestia. "Due to all of the interruptions." She looked at sonic and rainbow dash, who were racing to the food table. Celestia smiled. "How well are you getting along?" Twilight jumped slightly. "Well? We're getting along great!" She said excitingly. Then, she looked at pinkie and shadow. "Even some of us are..." She whispered the rest to celestia. Celestia burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" Twilight cocked her head. "Cadence said something like this would happen." She retained her composure. "Oh. Right."
For the rest of the night, the gang hanged out, laighed, and had fun. Then, it was time for the main dance. "Ready to execute our plan?" Pinlie whispered to shadow, as she held a cookie in her hoof. "Yeah. You got the music choice up and running?" Shadow finished his cider. "Getting on it." And with that, pinkie disappeared. She took the music notes they were using and replaced them woth a diffrent song."you ready wensday?" she whispered out from the stage. "Yep. I memorized all the chords." I took out my electric guitar. Then i held a microphone. "Took me forever, but i did it. I just hope i can play this as well as i can play an acoustic guitar." We smiled. Luckily, I also had many of the pony performers already memorizing their part of the song. "Plan all set." Pinkie piped to shadow. "following me to the dance floor my lady." He put his hand out to her hoof. She took it graciously and stepped into the dance floor.
Archangel By Chet Faker starts playing
Pinkie stood on two hoofs, holding shadow's hands. the song started. They slowdanced throughout the song. They both held the spotlight. Everypony was watching them. As the tempo was speeding up at the end of the song, shadow moved pinkie closer to his chest. Then at the highest point of the song, shadow picked her up into the air, both of them spinning. As the last chord played, he put her back into his arms, leaning her into a dip. The music stopped. And Pinkie remained still. Everypony had their eyes on them, wondering what whould happen next.
Shadow Looked down at pinkie pie with a devilish grin. She returned the smile. Shadow then bent forward and he kissed pinkie pie gently. Gasps came from the crowd, then cheers of celebration. Pinkie pie kissed back with a bit more force. (In the end they both enjoyed it.)
Rainbow dash suddenly now dismissed all the gossip. What rarity and Fluttershy said where true. Her cup dropped to the floor, as well as her face. Sonic chuckled. " I never knew he was a big softy for her. Well, Now I know." She glanced at Sonic. " I guess we shouldn't have doubted them." Rainbow and sonic looked back at them, both slowly walking together, lost in one another's eyes.
