Note: I just wanted to let you guys know that this chapter is a little bit pointless. You see, I was reading some other people's fanfiction when I realized that they seemed to have more cute scenes than my story as a whole. Then it hit me... Where had all my cute love scenes gone? I mean, sure, it was cute when Fluttershy and Sunset spent their first night together and such, but that was it. So, then I said to myself, "Screw this, I need more cute scenes." Thus I cut out an hour of my day to write a whole chapter devoted to cuteness. If you guys aren't into this stuff, then just wait for the next chapter when all the REAL stuff starts happening, if not... well, then picture this as a moment of quiet reflection on love and enjoy!

Dimension: My Little Pony

Planet: Equestria Earth

Specific Location: Fluttershy and Sunset's house

Time: A month after the death of Miranda

Sunset was about to trot into his house so that he could exit through the front door when Doxia stopped him with an arm.

"What?" said Sunset.

"Where's Fluttershy?" asked Doxia, looking around.

"I think she's at the park with Starlight Amber."

Doxia nodded. Then he said, "You go to her. Spend time with her. I will fix things up."

Sunset cocked his head to one side, slightly bemused. "What do you mean?"

Doxia shook his head and chuckled. "What I mean is go to Fluttershy and spend some time with her. Pick some flowers, go for a trot, frolic in the sun. Do it now."

Sunset shook his head incredulously but complied. He turned his back on Doxia and began searching through his garden, meticulously scrutinizing each bed of flowers for the perfect bouquet. After a couple of minutes, he had the perfect set. He turned around to ask for Doxia opinion on the flowers, but the being was gone. Chuckling, he trotted off to find Fluttershy.

She was sitting on a park bench with Starlight, who was asleep, talking to some birds.

"Oh, hello Sunset!" she said as Sunset approached her, "What are you doing here? I thought you had some very important things to do."

"They are important," replied Sunset, "But they can wait."

He sat down next to her and handed her flowers. She breathed them in deeply as she exclaimed, "Oh, Sunset, these are wonderful. Are they for me?"

Sunset smiled and said, "For you and only you."

Sighing happily, Fluttershy leaned her head against Sunset's shoulder and murmured, "I've missed these."

Sunset closed his eyes as he felt the sunlight sink into his skin. "I've missed these too."

The two stayed like this for a good thirty minutes, enjoying the sunlight, as Fluttershy would say. Then Sunset opened his eyes and said, "Do you want to go for a trot?"

Fluttershy blinked. "Where?"

"Oh, around the meadows, maybe we could talk to some of the animals. Angel is staying with some friends there, is he not?"

Fluttershy nodded, "He is. That would be a wonderful idea!"

Sunset began to use magic to push Starlight's stroller forward. Fluttershy then got up and followed it. Sunset spread a wing over her back and the two trotted off to the meadow, side-by-side.

"What a wonderful day for a picnic," sighed Fluttershy as she looked over the meadow as they entered it.

"It is. You know what? We should have a picnic. We haven't even had lunch yet," declared Sunset.

"Oh, that would be wonderful. Just you, me, Starlight, and nature."

"That WOULD be wonderful. Tell you what, I'll make the picnic. You go find the perfect spot."

"The perfect spot… Oh, I know. That one spot where we were stuck in the rain… that is the perfect spot."

With that, Sunset quickly spread his wings and flew off to the house to make the picnic, while Fluttershy and Starlight went to visit Angel. After that, the two quickly cantered to the spot where Fluttershy and Sunset's adventures began. Fluttershy settled down and began to stare off dreamily into the distance. Soon Sunset arrived with a picnic basket. Fluttershy gently cooed Starlight into wakefulness, and the three had a small lunch. Then Fluttershy and Sunset rolled onto their backs and began to look at the skies.

"What can you see?" asked Fluttershy as they looked skyward.

Sunset smiled and replied, "I see… A house… A bunny… And a Star Wars-grade medpac flexclamp from the year 10500 Before the Battle of Yavin."

Fluttershy blinked. "What?"

Sunset chuckled and said, "Oh nothing, just my nonsense-filled mind getting in my way. Ooooh! You see that one? It looks like an apple!"

Fluttershy nodded. "My, that one does look like an apple. And there… That one looks like a four-leaf clover."

"That's good luck… Something that we need right now," sighed Sunset.

Fluttershy kissed Sunset on the cheek. "We have everything we want right now. We couldn't have been luckier."

Sunset smiled at Fluttershy. "You're right, Fluttershy."

There was a pause. "Fluttershy… did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?"

Fluttershy blushed. "Over and over again Sunset," she said.

"Well, I'll add one to the stack. You are beautiful."

The two kissed. They continued to look at the sky together as the sun slowly crawled past its apex and spiraled down past the west.

"Do you want to go home?" asked Sunset as he glanced at the sky.

Fluttershy closed her eyes. "Oh no," she sighed, "I think it would be fine if we stayed here for tonight. We can sleep together under the stars."

Sunset closed his eyes dreamily as well as he said, "I can't think of anything better…"

Dimension: My Little Pony

Planet: Equestria Earth

Specific Location: Twilight's library

Time: A month after the death of Miranda, 8 hours after the arrival of Doxia

Twilight looked up from a book she was reading as a hoof rapped on her front door. Trotting downstairs, she opened it to find Flaming Star, his face obscured by a wonderful bouquet of flowers.

"Oh, these are lovely!" exclaimed Twilight, "Did you pick them for me?!"

"Better," chuckled Flaming Star, "I made them. Pulled every organic molecule together. You see that blue one? That's an Andorian Ice flower. Don't even exist here."

Twilight levitated them carefully into the air and placed them into a large vase. She looked them up and down and sighed, "This is perfect. A perfect mantelpiece."

"Absolutely exquisite, your taste leaves me in awe," chuckled Flaming Star.

There was a pause, then Flaming Star said, "Hey… do you want to do something?"

Twilight gave a little bounce of excitement. "Oh… We should! We could have a read-a-thon! We could start with the top shelves, and see how many books we can read down until the sun sets! Then we can have quizzes on our books to see who learned more!"

Flaming Star grinned. "You're on. Am I allowed to use my traveler's database?"

Twilight winked at him. "Only if you agree to read the books blindfolded."

Flaming Star rolled his eyes. "Okay, okay, very well. I still think I'm going to win."

Twilight chuckled. "Prepare for your second-ever defeat, Firstborn."

The two laughed heartily. After a moment, Flaming Star cleared his throat and said, "Okay. Soooo… Starting with section A? Maybe start with an encyclopedia?"

Twilight nodded as she levitated two thick volumes over to where they sat. They were about to dive in when Spike strolled in from helping Rarity with something.

"What are you to doing?" he asked.

"Oh, we're having a read-a-thon," exclaimed Twilight happily, "Do you want to join us?"

Spike blanched. He slowly backed up and shook his head. "Um… now that you mention it… I think I left my, um, something, back at Rarity's… Gottagobye!"

He rocketed out of the room and slammed the door.

"Oh well," laughed Flaming Star, "More books for us to read."

"Yep," chuckled Twilight, "Well… ready… set… GO!"

The two dove (figuratively) into their books and were off. As they read, they would once and a while call out interesting tidbits that they had come across.

"Oooh… Cockatrices migrate to Zebrabwe once every year!" exclaimed Twilight.

"Hmmmm," mused Flaming Star, "Dragon's eggs are supposed to be harder to break than a diamond. They say the lattice structure is sturdier because of a form of fire-magic that runs through the carbon bonds… I don't know if that's true. Can I PLLLEEEAAASSSEE double-check this using the traveler's database?"

Twilight gave him a huge smile as she levitated him a strip of cloth. "Of course you can, Sweetie! Here's a blindfold!"

Flaming Star shook his head. "No thanks, dear. I prefer to be able to read while I can see."

The two then lapsed into a moment of silent reading as they continued to look through their books.

"Ooooh… This is interesting!" declared Twilight as she continued to scan her book, "This says that waterfalls fall upwards in the some areas in the wild cloudlands over the Western Ocean! I wish I could see that for myself…"

Flaming Star gave her a side-long glance. "You know… I could take you there right now."

Twilight looked up from her book, her eyes wide. "You could?!"

Flaming Star got up and nodded. "Right now. Do you want to go?"

"WOULD I EVER?!" exclaimed Twilight as she seized Flaming Star in a tight hug, "I would LOVE to go right now!"

"So much for the read-a-thon," chuckled Flaming Star to himself as he searched the traveler's database for the location. He found it, and then opened a portal directly to the wild cloudland. Twilight and Flaming Star trotted through the opening in time and space and entered the wonderful, spacious expanse of fluffy clouds, which stretched in all directions.

"This is where most Pegasus go for safari's," explained Twilight as she looked around in awe, "I've read about this place, of course, but never been to it myself! This is so amazing!"

Twilight leaned against Flaming Star's shoulder as she continued to look around. She then gazed up at the sky and smiled, almost dreamily.

"What are you thinking?" said Flaming Star, following the direction of her gaze.

"I was just wondering how it would feel to by flying high above this expanse, watching the world unfurl below you…" sighed Twilight.

Flaming Star planted a kiss on Twilight's cheek. He then took a step back on the fluffy clouds and spread his wings wide.

"Well?" he said, "You imagined it, now let's do it!"

Twilight gave him a huge smile and spread her own wings. With powerful flaps, they took off into the sky.

"This… is… AMAZING!" yelled Twilight over the wind as they blasted through the bright blue sky.

"You're starting to sound like Rainbow Dash!" laughed Flaming Star, "All we need to do now is convert the word amazing into the word awesome!"

They continued to speed through the air. They then veered sharply upward in unison and began to climb higher, and higher, and higher. Soon they were reaching the heights where air was hard to come by, but Flaming Star simply counteracted this effect by pulling up a bubble of air around them. Twilight then smiled dreamily and tucked her wings in, she then twisted around and began to descend at incredible speeds. Quickly Flaming Star did the same and they whizzed down towards the fluffy expanse of the cloudlands together. Just before they hit the ground, Flaming Star and Twilight veered upwards again and they spiraled through the air at top speed, with the clouds below blasting away below them. Twilight smiled as she saw massive sky waterfalls, with water going up them instead of down, passing on by them. Then she began to climb high again, with Flaming Star right behind her. The two continued to perform this same routine again and again, as the sun slowly set in the west.

After a bit, Flaming Star glanced over at Twilight and yelled over the wind, "Do you want to go home?"

Twilight blinked as she thought about it for a moment, and then yelled back, "Okay!"

The slowed down and landed on the fluffy clouds. Flaming Star then looked at the setting sun and nodded, "Yes, it would be best if we got you home."

He opened a portal back to Twilight's library, and the two stepped through.

"Do you think we should finish the read-a-thon?" asked Twilight as she organized a couple of scattered books.

Flaming Star glanced out the window as the last rays of dusk disappeared over the west hills of Ponyville, "Not unless you want to pull an all-nighter."

Twilight giggled, "No, I suppose not."

Flaming Star bowed his head low to Twilight and took a step back. "I will be going now, my lovely princess," he said dramatically. He then turned around to leave.

"Wait!" said Twilight.

Flaming Star stopped from exiting the building and turned around. He looked at Twilight curiously.

Twilight blushed a deep red, and she mumbled, "Would you… would you stay with me tonight?"

Flaming Star blinked. What she had said had touched him more than anything had in his entire life. He knew Twilight, and he understood that what she had said had taken an incredibly amount of courage… and love. He then smiled and said, "I would love to."

Twilight flapped lightly over to her bed and lay down. Flaming Star, desperately wishing that there was an army of demons he could fight instead, slowly lay down next to her and closed his eyes. Twilight almost immediately fell asleep. Flaming Star could feel her body raise and lower with each sigh, and feel the warmth of her breath on his cheek. He let these feelings slowly wash away any raw emotions and worries he had, and he too soon drifted off to sleep.

Note: Here is an important question... Who is the cuter and better couple? Sunset Shadow and Fluttershy or Flaming Star and Twilight Sparkle...? Or, dare I say, Regal Crescent and Luna?
