Twilight coughed as Rarity attacked her mane with loads of manespray.
"Rarity is this really [b][i]cough[/i][/b] necessary?" Twilight asked.
"Of course Twilight, you have to look beautiful. After all you have to look your best for your Marefriend." Rarity said teasing Twilight by putting emphasis on marefriend.
Twilight blushed as she shoved Rarity playfully, "Cut it out; When are the girls getting here?"
"Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are out enjoying themselves before the gala. Pinkie is on her way. Apple Jack is finishing her chores." Rarity says as she grabs a brush and starts to style Twilight's mane.
Soon there was a knock on the door. Rarity yelled, "Come In!"
Pinkie Pie opened the door, "Hey girls, Twilight you look beautiful."
Twilight smiled, "Thanks Pinkie, but I'm not finished yet...OW!" Twilight whined as she wiped a tear that started to fall.
"Sorry dear that was a big knot." Rarity apologized as she continued to brush Twilight's mane.
Pinkie bounces around, "Me Next! Me Next!"
Rarity laughed, "Okay Pinkie, let me just finish Twilight's mane."
Rarity had parted Twilight's mane. The top half she braided and left the bottom half alone. She did a twist braid, using Twilight's highlight to her advantage. Once she was finished she turned Twilight around so she could look at herself in their mirror. Rarity used a smaller mirror to show Twilight the back of her mane.
"Wow Rarity, my mane looks amazing." Twilight said as she turned her head side to side checking out her mane.
"Well, my mane doesn't beautify itself." Rarity says as she pats her mane.
Twilight hops out of the chair and Pinkie immediately hops onto the chair.
"My Turn!" Pinkie yelled.
[hr]
Luna was adjusting her dress as somepony knocked on her door.
"Come In!" Luna yelled as she moved to her vanity and starts brushing her mane out.
Celestia entered her room, "How are you feeling?"
Luna sighed as she set the brush down looking at herself in the mirror. "I'm nervous, I don't know how Twilight will react. I never told her how we were going to reveal our love to everypony, so it's going to be a surprise for her as well."
Celestia smiled, "I brought you a box to put the ring in."
Luna turned around and Celestia handed Luna a beautiful box. It was a dark purple with golden clasp and outline. Luna smiled as she placed the ring inside of the box and closed it.
"Thanks Tia, you're the best." Luna said as she hugged her sister.
Celestia smiled as she hugged her sister back. Luna let Celestia go and started to slip on her shoes. Celestia used her magic to fix Luna's necklace.
"Thanks." Luna smiled.
Celestia nodded as she left the room and closed the door behind her.
[hr]
The girls were all gathered in front of the Carousel Boutique waiting for their carriage to arrive.
"Nice hat AJ." Rainbow said as she hovered above Apple Jack.
"Thanks, Rarity made it for me." Apple Jack said as she adjusted her hat.
"Are you okay, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.
Twilight was shaking a bit, "Fine, everything is fine. Nothing wrong over here. Nope."
"Uhh you sure Twilight? You look kind of nervous." Rainbow said.
"Nope everything is just perfect." Twilight squeaked.
The girls all looked worried as the carriage arrived. One at a time they got on, except for Twilight.
"You coming Twi?" Apple Jack asked.
"Well maybe I should stay behind, you know there are so many lessons I have yet to learn about friendship. I know I would be able to find something in my books so...HEY!" Twilight yelled as Rainbow Dash grabbed her and pulled her into the carriage.
Pinkie closed the door and the carriage took off.
"I'm afraid of heights." Twilight lied.
"Oh come now dear, we are all here for you." Rarity said as she patted Twilight's back.
"Yeah Twilight, besides you can't have Luna waiting now can you?" Apple Jack said.
Twilight took a deep breath and looked around at her friends. They smiled at her, trying to calm her nerves.
"You're right, I can't keep her waiting. I can do this." Twilight said.
[hr]
Luna and Celestia were standing at the entrance greeting ponies as they walked in. Luna sighed as she looked around for Twilight. Celestia wrapped a wing around her sister, "She will be here soon."
"I hope so," Luna sighed.
As if on cue a carriage landed a few feet away from the princesses. Luna stood up straight, excited as she saw Twilight's friends get off first. Twilight poked her head through the carriage door before she stepped out.
Luna's jaw almost hit the ground. Twilight was wearing a midnight black dress that had silver trimmings. It shimmered when the light hit it and it had Luna's cutie mark on Twilight's chest.
Luna swallowed back some drool that was threatening to fall from her mouth. Celestia reached over and helped Luna close her mouth.
Twilight looked around and spotted Luna. She blushed as she smiled at her and waved a little. Luna's eyes were glued to Twilight as she raised a hoof and waved back.
Twilight was approached by many stallions. Twilight politely shook her head no as she followed her friends. The stallions who didn't talk to her were busy staring at her. Luna frowned and swore under her breath, "I'm going to lock that mare up and keep her away from everypony."
Twilight finally reached the front and bowed. The princesses bowed back. Luna gave Twilight a "Wait till later look." Twilight gave her an innocent smile as she joined her friends inside the ballroom.
There were a few stallions and mares dancing on the dance floor. Most were sitting at the tables laughing, talking, eating, and just overall having a good time.
"Twilight, We Are Over Here!" Pinkie yelled as she flailed her arms in her air.
Twilight trotted over and joined them at their table.
"Where are Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy?" She asked looking around.
"They went to take a romantic stroll in the garden. I'm so happy for them." Rarity said as she took a sip of her punch.
"Well I just hope that Rainbow can keep Fluttershy under control. Remember what happened last time Fluttershy was in the garden." Apple Jack said.
The girls all giggled collectively. Twilight looked around at the crowd, "Looks pretty full tonight."
"Aw don't worry Twi, you and Luna around going to be just fine." Pinkie said.
"Thank you girls, because of you girls I feel a whole lot better about tonight." Twilight said as she reached over and hugged her friends.
"That is what we are here for dear." Rarity said.
Twilight saw something move from the corner of her eye. She turned her head to see it was Luna motioning her over. Twilight looked back to the girls, "Umm...will you guys excuse me for a minute?" Twilight left before she got an answer.
Twilight followed Luna as she disappeared behind a door that led to the hallway.
"Luna?" Twilight called out as she peeked her head through the doorway. She started walking down the hallway as she called out, "Luna?"
Before she knew it she was forcefully grabbed and shoved into a cramped closet. "So who do I have to thank and complain to for you looking like that?" A familiar voice said from behind her.
"Luna?" Twilight asked, very well knowing her answer.
"Yes my dear, do you know how distracting you have been?" Luna asked as she gently kissed Twilight on her neck.
"Luna, I…"
"Not a word. Do you know how hard it was to watch all of those stallions drooling over what is mine. I could barely control myself." Luna said as she continued to kiss Twilight's neck. Luna wrapped her arms around Twilight holding her tight.
Twilight just sighed as a blush crept up to her cheeks.
"It was even worse seeing them try to talk to you. Oh Twilight, you don't know how much I just want to lock you away. To keep you from everypony." Luna continued as she nibbled on Twilight's ear. Her arms loosened up as her hooves started to travel all over Twilight's body.
"Luna…" Twilight panted as she tried to turn around.
Luna held Twilight tight in place, "Just wait, after tonight I will make it well known throughout the world that you belong to me."
Twilight nodded as she felt Luna's hooves disappear. Twilight turned her head to see Luna resting her head on her shoulder.
"So I take it you like the dress." Twilight said trying to lighten up the mood a little.
"I do, but I would love to see what is underneath even more." Luna whispered as she bit the tip of Twilight's ear.
There was a soft knock on the closet door. Twilight froze, as Luna opened the door with a swear.
"Whoa, didn't know it was that kind of party." Rainbow Dash said.
"What do you want?" Luna growled.
"Celestia wants to see you." Dash said.
Luna sighed as she helped Twilight out of the closet and helped her with her dress and fixing her mane.
"I apologize Ms. Dash for my tone earlier, I was just...busy." Luna apologized.
She turned and gave Twilight a soft peck on the lips, "See you later my love."
A/N:So I'm probably going to have to change this story to teen. So between school and work I will try to upload every Wednesday. Notice I said Try, so if you log on Wednesday and a chapter wasn't up yet then give me a little bit of time okay. I promise I will not leave you hanging.
