Lightning Bliss would not have realized the coldness outside had departed while she slept. Snuggled up warm and protectively in her lover's scales, she didn't even notice the winds died down and the snow faded away. Only when the first rays of the sunlight entered the cave and poured onto her face did she finally stir from her long slumber. She blinked a little groggily at the light then suddenly remembered where she was. She darted left and right, then up and down to make sure her dragon prince was still holding on to her. To her relief he was not only still here, but sleeping tenderly with her rested safetly on his arm, shrouded by his wing in protective hold. She smiled at his head laying some distance away from her, on a makeshift pillow made of gold and diamond gems, every now and then grummbling a snore before smacking his lips and readjusting his head again from the annoying rays of the sun light. She chuckled at the fact he was not one to wake up so early it seemed, but quietly rose from her sleeping spot on him. She slid down the pile of gold bits where her sleeping spot, his arm, rested, and quietly walked towards the cave entrance to look out to the new day.

The snow storm from the mountains had died down to her relief, but a cool breeze continued to blow throughout the peaks. If she hadn't known better, she would have mistaken it for winter rather then spring from the temps up there. She smelt the air, cool and fresh that it almost reminded her of the winter holidays, her favorite time of the year. Then out of curiosity she turned her focus to see if she could spot the town of Ponyville from the ledge. The three mountains she had to pass through the other night blocked most of the view of the town, but she could make out the main large buildings of the town. She recalled the adorable setup of it all, and the apple farm that made her think of how sweet life might be to live there. Her eagerness of wanting to see the town instinctivly made her wings want to spread out, but as they did the pain sprung into her back like a sword stabbed her in the middle of her spine. Oh...right, she remembered then trying to hold from whinning in pain, my wings...I'm grounded! Gah...She looked back at her sweet dragon, still snoozing away, then back to the town, then back at her wings again. I... I can't stay here forever...I gotta get help before my wings get any worse...but I, again she looked back on her dragon friend she comed so fast to care for, how could I leave him though? After everything he did to help me? And if he were to agree to come to Ponyville with me...he'd scare all the townsponys that live there...I can't be with him there...and I can't forever stay here where theres no food...

He slowly opened his yes in the direction of his cave entrance and saw his sweet little pony sitting outside on the ledge, appearing to be enjoying the sunrise. He smiled to her and slowly got up and crawled to be beside her. His shadow loomed over her as he made himself comfortable next to her and opened his winged arms to bask. He watched as she turned to look up at him, and he could see her smiling, but also that she was crying as well. His eyes lowered to concern and he leaned down to get closer to her. She turned away as if ashamed for him to see her like this, but he purred at her to face him. It was amazing how they didn't have to communicate with words, but with sounds and body expressions. She turned to face him again now clearly upset, the smile gone from her face. He blinked at her, not sure what was causing her sorrows. He watched her a moment as she darted her head back to the horizon and then to him once more, he followed her attention towards the horizon and realized then what she was looking at. Ah, he thought to himself, she wants to go to the town of...Ponyville...to stay? His eyes lowered into a glare of dissapointment as he started at the town, while she merely watched him, waiting for his next move. She wants to go there, he continued to think, probably because...he stopped to look at her wings, remembering how badly damaged they were, yes...her injuries are servere, too much so for me to care for...the town would be able to help her better but...what if, she wanted to stay with her own kind...and...and not with me?

Lightning Bliss could see the conflict in his eyes, but she didnt expect him to cry knowing what he was probably understanding from her. His eyes boggled at her in fear, fear that she would leave him if he took her to the outskirts of Ponyville. No...she thought as if he were reading her mind. She grabbed him firmly and hugged him passionalty, licking his cheek while doing so, I will never leave you...I promise...We could figure this out, I could still live with you but still visit the town to make friends and to get supplies for myself...You could stay here and guard our cave, this is our home, it could forever be our home were no one could bother us. He felt her hooves clentch tightly in loyalty to him, making his tears lessen. He sniffed the rest back and wrapped a claw around his white little bride, unable to deny the needs she had to have anymore. But not yet, he thought as if he knew she could read his mind as well, I need to show you something first...something to prove my honor to you... Without any protest she allowed him to pick her up and place her on his back. He stood on his back legs with ease and one at a time, spread his wings as far as they would go. With little efforts from his own ability, he leapt from the cave and allowed the cold wind to lift him into the air, gliding on the currents towards Ponyville.

She couldn't help but admire the speed in which the dragon was able to fly with little efforts then from the mountain winds themselves. She could see the town approaching faster then she ever could have reached on her own wings, that would take nearly a week to reach by foot. But just as she was beginning to fear that he was going to land in the center of town where everyone would see him, he continued over the town, towards the hill valley beyond the town. She blinked at this manuver, not sure where he was taking her, but she didn't have long to guess before he made his slow and smooth decent towards a bald tall grass spot in the valley. She could tell the grass was covered with some white flowers of some sort, very pretty she couldn't help but smile at. But just as he landed on the ground, the flowers became alive! The were small white butterflies that had been disturbed from their rest. Lightning Bliss knew he had brought her here to this place to show her, and it was a magnificant sight to behold. So many white butterflies in one place that she couldnt help but be entranced by it all. She leaned against him as the white little insects flew around them, only to step back when rose himself up as if in preps to do something physically. In shock he inhauled deeply and bellowed out a burst of reddish blue fire from his mouth! Unable to do more then watch in horror knowing that the buttlerflies would be roasted instantly...he continued to spread his flames around them till the entire field was lit up.

But the fire did not cause other fires within the grass nor did it leave burns on the ground. Instead...as his flames deminished, the butterflies colors changed into the colors of the rainbow. Millions of them in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet all flew around them like a rainbow tornado...an amazing display of colors that she couldn't resist in running into, froloicking in glee. He watched his precious little mare leap and gallop amongst the flutter of butterflies and waited for her to turn to him. He lowered his face down in anticipation and was immedialty embraced by her hooves and a deep passionate kiss.

"Oh," Lightning Bliss finally spoke pulling away from her eagerness, "I'm so sorry...I never did get your name?" The wyvern chuckled at that being her first words to him, but admitted to himself that he had not considered giving his name either and happily obliged. "My name," his voice had a rummble, but soothing and brave tone, "is Night Lights...and you? My sweet living rainbow mare?" Lighting Bliss approached him and hugged his check firmly, not resisting in a giggle as she replied, "The name is Lighting Bliss...and I want to marry you." Night Lights smiled and wrapped his claws around her gently, "As do I wish to marry you too Lightning Bliss...I love you, with all the honor within me." "I love you too Night Lights...with all my heart." As the butterflies began to drift away in search of flowers, the two unique lovers held each other close, dreaming of their big day that awaited to arrive, where they would say 'I Do'.

The End
