I looked down at the ground. I couldn't bear to look up. Tears were streaming down my face. Not the loud kind, but those silent tears that you can't control. I thought for sure that Johnny was going to slap me silly.

But then I felt something soft lift my chin up. It was Johnny's hand. I looked towards him.  He smiled and blushed.  Then he leaned in. Our lips met.

I've kissed lots of girls before, but this was different. This felt right.  It felt good.  No, better than good.  Amazing.

Johnny pulled away and blushed.  I pulled him back towards me and kissed him some more.  I couldn't believe what was happening.  I was kissing Johnny.  I knew that I had wanted to do that for longer than I had realized.

As we pulled away, Johnny whispered "I've wanted to do that for so long."

"Me too," I said with a smile.

I cuddled in close to him.  He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and held me tight.  We stayed like that while we watched the sunset.  It was perfect.

When the sun had set and the stars appeared, we went back inside and got our bologna sandwiches. 

"So," I said through mouthfuls of bologna, "are you gay too?"

"I thought it was obvious," laughed Johnny.

"I thought you liked Cherry!"

"Are you kidding me?  That night was the worst!  I was hoping that it would be just you and me.  I was real excited.  Then they came along and ruined everything!"

"I thought the exact same thing!"

I looked into his eyes and smiled.

"Pony, you know you've got the prettiest eyes I've ever seen," said Johnny.

"No, you," I teased.

"Oh, come here you," said Johnny as he grabbed me by my collar and kissed me.  

"You're a good kisser," I said as we pulled away.

Johnny blushed a deep red.  

"You're also cute when you blush," I said as I kissed him on the cheek.

There was a lot of kissing involved that night as we got ready for bed.  When we settled into our corner, Johnny spooned me.  It was magical.  But what made that night even better was what Johnny asked me before we fell asleep.

"Hey Pony, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, Johnnycakes?"

"Will you be my boyfriend?  Just so we're official-"

"Yes!  I thought you'd never ask!" I flipped over and kissed him gently on the lips.  I couldn't believe it.  Johnny was finally mine.  Not Cherry's.  Not Marcia's.  Mine.  All mine.
