Twilight and Rainbow went to join the rest of the group at the table.
"Hey, where were you guys?" Fluttershy asked.
Rainbow took a seat next to her. Twilight took a seat between Pinkie Pie and Rarity.
"Well I had to go find Luna, Celestia requested her presence." Rainbow said as she took Fluttershy's glass and took a sip.
"Where was Luna?" Apple Jack asked.
Rainbow looked at Twilight and grinned, "She was busy dealing with some...royal duties."
Twilight rested her head on the table and used her hooves to cover the blush that had appeared.
"You okay Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'm fine." Twilight said.
The girls realized that the music had stopped and there was just the sound of chatter in the room. Slowly the chatter died down as ponies realized that there wasn't any music. In a few minutes the room was completely silent. The double doors sprang open, there Luna and Celestia stood.
The guards lined up as the princesses made their way to the stage. Everypony they passed bowed.
Twilight was watching Luna. Luna turned her head and gave Twilight a smile. Twilight couldn't help but smile back.
Celestia and Luna stepped onto the stage as the band stepped aside to give them room.
"Good Evening Mares and Gentlecolts, how are all of you enjoying the festivities?" Celestia asked.
Ponies just murmured collectively and nodded their heads.
"Well we would like to thank everypony for being able to attend the Gala this year. This is the biggest turnout we have ever had." Celestia said.
There was the growing sound of clapping hooves. Twilight and her friends joined in as well.
"Now before we get back to the festivities, my sister would like to make an announcement." Celestia said as she fell back and gave Luna the spotlight.
Luna looked at Twilight and smiled as she begun, "As you ponies are aware, my sister and I have been so caught up in our royal duties that we haven't had time to settle down."
Twilight shivered as in fear as she knew that she was possibly going to have to stand on that stage.
"Part of being a Princess is being able to balance your social life, as well as your royal duties."
Pinkie Pie put her hoof on Twilight's shoulder trying to calm her down. Twilight turned her head to look at Pinkie. She mouthed "Thank you" to Pinkie as Luna continued.
"So tonight I would like to reveal the one pony that has captured my heart. She has helped me control my tone and has helped me better connect with my subjects."
Twilight took a deep breath as Luna pointed her hoof at her.
"Twilight Sparkle, would you please join me on stage?" Luna asked.
Twilight nodded as she rose from her seat and made her way to the stage. Most of the ponies looked confused. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Twilight climbed up on stage and stood next to Luna.
"This is the pony that has stole my heart; you can see it there on her chest." Luna said as she pointed to her cutie mark that was on Twilight's dress.
Twilight was blushing as she looked out to the crowd. Many of the ponies were just frozen. all sharing the same bewildered look.
"Twilight you may have stolen my heart, but i know how to get it back." Luna said.
Twilight looked over at Luna and instantly felt something catch in her throat. Twilight put her hoof on her mouth and tried to stop herself from crying.
Luna had a dark purple ring box. Twilight felt her face flush as she felt tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Twilight Sparkle, Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
The crowd all gasped collectively. The girls had their mouths hanging wide open in shock as they stared at the scene before them.
Twilight swallowed back a sob that was begging to be release. She looked at the ring. It was silver gold with a black cursive writing on the inside. The diamond it held was shaped like a crescent moon.
Twilight looked up at Luna. She could tell by the rapidness of Luna's blinks that she was holding back some tears of her own.
Twilight nodded as she whispered "Yes."
"I can't understand you dear, I can't hear you with your hoof on your mouth." Luna smiled.
Twilight put her hoof down and took a deep breath as she looked at Luna. "Yes."
Luna's smile grew wide. She used her magic to put the ring on Twilight's horn. Some ponies started murmuring. The girls all cheered from their table. Only a few ponies clapped.
Twilight moved closer to Luna and gave her a gentle kiss. Luna wrapped her arms around Twilight and pulled her closer as she deepened the kiss.
"Told you I would prove to the world that you are mine." Luna whispered as she broke the kiss.
Celestia looked to the band and they started to play. Twilight put her hoof on Luna's cheek.
"May I have this dance?" Luna asked putting her own hoof on Twilight's
"Yes."

Many ponies left the Gala confused. Some ever thought it was a prank. The night was still and everypony silently made their way to their carriages.
The mane six were making their way to their carriage. There was soft snoring coming from Fluttershy, who was asleep on Rainbow's back.
"Poor thing tuckered herself out. What happened?" Rarity asked.
Rainbow yawned, "Nothing we just both had a busy day."
"I think we all have, I haven't been this tired since apple buckin' day." Apple Jack said as she used her own hoof to cover up her yawn.
Twilight and Luna were at the back of the pack. "So where do you want to sleep tonight?" Luna asked.
"I don't care where we sleep, I just want to be with you." Twilight said.
"Oh Twilight, I didn't know you were that type of mare." Luna smirked.
Twilight blushed, "Luna, don't talk like that."
Luna smiled as she gently kissed Twilight on her cheek.
Once they were at the carriage the girls hopped in one-by-one.
"Aren't you coming Twi?" Apple Jack asked.
"Not tonight girls, I'm going to spend the night with my fiance." Twilight said as she smiled at the girls.
"Alright make sure to have some fun." Rainbow said as she winked at Twilight and Luna.
Luna and Twilight both looked at each other and blushed a little. Pinkie Pie closed the door to the carriage and they took off. Twilight watched as her friends left.
"You know you really do have some great friends." Luna stated, using her wing to pull Twilight closer to her.
"Yeah, I also have the greatest fiance ever." Twilight said as she turned her head and licked Luna's cheek.
Luna looked down at Twilight. Twilight looked up at Luna with bedroom eyes. It didn't take Luna even a split second, she picked up Twilight and flew off.
[hr]
Luna kicked in her room door. She entered still holding Twilight, she turned and kicked the door closed.
"Wow Luna, I have never seen your room so clean before." Twilight smiled.
Luna chuckled, "It won't stay that way for long."
Luna used her magic to lock the door as she made her way to the bed. She gently set Twilight down, and used her magic to close and lock her balcony door. Luna slid into the bed and pulled Twilight close as she gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. Luna started to trail from Twilight's lips down to her chin, and further down to her neck.
"I'm the luckiest mare in the world." Twilight whispered.
