Shimmering Stars (Canceled, being remade)

Chapter 4

When Starflight arrived at the restaurant, he was pleasantly surprised at how warm it was despite the cold winter air.

"Sunny... are you sure this is ok? O-Our jobs... a-and-"

"Come on, Starflight, no need to worry! Its fine!" She pushed the door open and gently pulled Starflight into the building, he could hear chit chat and voices from every direction as she pulled him over to a table. "Sorry you cant see it..."

"Its... its fine... I'm fine..." He nervously waved his talons. "S-So... what's on the menu?"

"Anything you could think of! Remember those toasted lizards Dune used to make? Boom, on the menu!" Sunny exclaimed.

"Oh, really? A-Alright..." 

He heard jittery talonsteps walk over. "Hiya!" The new, energetic and jittery voice said "Long time no see, Sunny! Whos your friend? And how can I help ya?"

"Hi, Emerald, this is Starflight. Starflight, this is Emerald, he's a silkwing."

"Cool, I haven't met many silkwings." Starflight gave his best smile "Say, do you have any fried bird? Yikes I sound like Clay when ordering food."

Sunny chuckled "I'll just have some fried lizards and scorpions."

"No problem, old friend!" Emerald wrote down their orders and scurried off.

"What did he mean by old friend?"

"Oh! His daughter attends the school! Webworm?" Sunny questioned, testing if Starflight knew who she was talking about.

"Oooh! Yeah, Webworm, she doesn't visit the library much, but I know her." Starlfight nodded.

They went quiet for a bit after their food was given to them, until Sunny brought up another conversation.

"Have you heard from Fatespeaker? She wasn't at the school when I got there."

"No..." Starflight mumbled "She's been gone for a few days... I don't know why, she keeps obsessing over me and giving me gifts I cant see... I wonder what's going on..."

"Who knows..." Sunny tapped her talons a bit "Sorry if this is too personal... but... how do you feel about her?"

Starlfight sighed "Well... she's a good friend, who looks out for me, that cant be denied but... sometimes she just seems... clingy? She's always just hovering nearby... I don't really understand why..."

"Hmm... well I've been thinking about something for a while... and I think I'm finally ready." Sunny said, standing up.

"Ready for what?" Starflight asked, when he felt her warm talons on his face. 

He felt her clip something on his ear and he titled his head at her. 

"Just give it a second?" She urged, he was confused, but nodded. 

Eventually, a small burst of color, COLOR! He forgot what color was even like! A bright yellow in front of him! Was that Sunny? It had to be. He slowly saw reds, greens, greys, browns, purples, all kinds of colors swarm back into his head, his eyes regained their pigment, and the shape of Sunny smiling at him. 

"Well, what do you think?" She asked.

"This... this is amazing..." He could barely speak as he looked around at the world he had missed for ten years. "But... who did you ask for this? And... why? How come you decided I needed this? I mean, thank you, but... I don't feel like I deserved this..."

Sunny gave a warm smile "Well, Turtle agreed to help me with this, and there's a few reasons I chose to do this, one; you are awesome and deserve to be able to read again, two; I've been thinking about something for a while, so this."

He was confused but she walked closer to him and kneeled "Starflight, I know its out of the blue, but, will you marry me?"

Starflight felt like he was going to pass out. "Sunny? Wants to marry me? I love her so much! What if Fatespeaker gets mad?! I cant, I want to, I cant. Say yes, say no, say yes. This is what you've wanted for years, saying no would be idiotic."

He took a deep breath and felt tears well up in his newly colored eyes "Yes." 

Haha sorry for the cringe proposal scene but you gotta do what you gotta do to keep it movin.
