Twilight gave him a raised eyebrow, "You don't care that I am in love with a mare?"
Spike shrugged his shoulders again, "It doesn't matter who you love Twilight, it's not going to change who you are or what you do. You just happen to love a mare, I don't see anything wrong with that. I just want you to be happy."
Twilight smiled as she hugged Spike tight, "You know you really are the best Spike."

Luna was pacing in her room. "How do I go about doing this Celestia?"
"Well first I would run it by Twilight and then maybe you two can announce it at the gala." Celestia said as she stood up.
Luna smiled and nodded her head, "Yeah the gala...I have to tell Twilight."
Luna picked up the basket and headed for the balcony. She climbed on the railing and turned her head to look back at her sister.
"Cover my absence?"
"Of course. Now go," Celestia said as she shooed Luna away with her hoof.

Twilight made Spike some blueberry muffins for breakfast. Spike was sitting a the table munching on them as Twilight poured him a cup of milk.
"So does anyone else know?" Spike asked.
Twilight handed him the milk, "Not yet, Luna and I are waiting for the right time."
"Why?" Spike asked before taking a sip of his milk.
Twilight sighed, "You remember when Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash announced they were together? Remember the looks they got from some of our Ponyville friends?"
Spike nodded, "Now that you mention it, I do. They give them a look like they are zombie ponies or something."
Twilight nodded, "That is exactly why Luna and I want to wait. It's not so much a precaution for me but for her. I mean she is a princess. If the delegates found out they might judge her, or even try to take her chair and power."
Spike scoffed, "They can't do that Twilight. You said it yourself, she's a princess. I bet they wouldn't dare cross her."
Twilight sighed, "I don't know Spike, I just don't want Lulu getting hurt."
Spike laughed and spat up the muffin he started munching on, "Lulu! HAHAHA!"
"Spike, don't make a mess; it's too early." Twilight frowned as she went to grab a wash rag.
She wiped up some of the mess and checked the clock hanging on the wall.
"I better go get the mail. Spike, finish cleaning your mess please." Twilight said as she grabbed a fresh muffin.
She made her way to the front door, dodging books that were sprawled out all over the ground. She finally made it to the door and opened it to see Derpy Whooves pulling her mail in her mailbox.
"Good morning Ms. Twilight. Something sure smells delicious." Derpy said as she closed her mailbox and slung her bag over her shoulder.
"I made fresh blueberry muffins. I figured you might want one." Twilight said as she handed Derpy the muffin.
"Thanks Twilight, I love muffins." Derpy said as she took a bite. "Wow this is delicious."
"Glad you like it." Twilight smiled.
"Like it I love it. Well I better get going, this mail isn't going to deliver itself. Thanks again Twilight," Derpy said as she flew off.
Twilight opened her mailbox and collected the envelopes.
"TWILIGHT!"
Twilight looked around to see who called her. When she saw nopony she turned her attention back to her mail.
"TWILIGHT!"
Twilight looked up and this time she saw Luna approaching her at top speeds. Twilight waved her hoof, but Luna had no intention of slowing down. Twilight braced herself but by then it was too late. Luna pinned her on the ground and kissed Twilight hard. Twilight blushed as her pupils shrunk. She was soon kissing Luna back.
Twilight was the first to break this kiss, "Luna, somepony might see us."
"I don't care," Then she smashed her lips back onto Twilight's.
After a few minutes Luna broke the kiss. Twilight was out of breath like she just ran the running of the leaves at top speeds.
"What was that all about?" Twilight panted.
"Celestia knows and...we better get inside." Luna said as she got of of Twilight and helped her up.
Luna helped Twilight collect her mail from the floor and they both went inside. Twilight set the mail on the table as Luna finished her previous thought.
"Celestia knows about us and she approves." Luna said.
Twilight beamed, "Really, that is great news. Spike found out, and he approves too."
Luna smiled, "You haven't told any other ponies yet, right?"
Twilight shook her head, "The only reason Spike found out was because he saw you dropping me off this morning."
"Same for me, Celestia was in my room...oh yeah, I brought your basket back." Luna said as she looked around, "I may have dropped it outside."
"No worries, I got it." Spike said as she ran from the kitchen with muffin crumbs all over his mouth. He opened the door and ran outside.
"Celestia also told me that we should announce it." Luna said with confidence.
"She did? But Luna, what if…" Twilight sighed.
Luna used her magic to pull Twilight close to her. She wrapped her arms around her marefriend.
"Don't worry about the what if's my dear. We are going to face some judgmental ponies but, we can do this together." Luna said as she gently kissed Twilight's cheek.
Twilight smiled as she hugged Luna back, resting her head on Luna's shoulder.
"Besides, I'm tired of all these so called "Stallions" flirting with my love. It's time to finally put them in their place." Luna said.
Twilight chuckled as she tightened her hold on Luna.
Spike was sitting in the doorway with the picnic basket in his hand. He had a wide smile plastered on his face.
"I'm happy for you Twi." He whispered.
