We're doing quite well! We've been spending the morning sorting through the small mountain of paperwork that comes with applying to colleges and getting financial aid, and fortunately for me Twilight is very good at organization. Paperwork aside, things are great! We're both really looking forward to our double date with my best friend and his partner Octavia at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts tomorrow.

There's two ways I could explain this. The first is to tell you to read my story "Life, Unicorns, And The Pursuit Of Happiness" in the Literature section of the forum. It explains everything about how I came to fall in love with Twilight, the struggles I went through along the way, and how we got to where we are now. That's the real literal explanation, but I like this one a lot better...
It was the strangest thing! One day, June 13th of last year to be exact, I was just laying on the couch relaxing when all of a sudden there was a blinding flash of light and a sound that could only be described as the most thunderous roar I've ever heard filling up the room. I started to panic but before I could get up to run the whole room went a blue-ish white and I felt a sudden impact against my stomach that practically knocked the wind out of me. And there she was. Fallen out of the ether, dazed and bewildered from the shift into our plane of existence, Twilight Sparkle sprawled out on top of me.
After the initial round of "Where in the wide wide world of Equestria am I and who/what are you!?" questions were sorted out, it was concluded that her being pulled into my reality during a routine teleport spell was the result of the magic of love (specifically my love for her) drawing her here. Not one to dismiss powerful magic she decided to stick around a while and give me a chance, in spite of the fact that I was from an entirely different species and in a world completely foreign to her. The fact that she had literally no clue how to get back to Equestria at the time might have also been working in my favor.
So I taught her about my world, showed her around a bit, introduced her to our technology (you have no idea how many hours a day she spent on Wikipedia for those first few months, and there's still always a tab open to it in the browser on our computer), and we spent a long time just getting to know each other better. It was a little awkward at first, finding out we have a TV show about her and her friends, having her know I was totally head over hooves in love with her, and seeing all the merchandise I own with her likeness on it. She was admittedly a little creeped out initially, but still very curious about it all and assured by the fact that out of all the places on Earth she could have ended up when her teleport spell brought her here that she wound up landing in my living room. Directly on top of me no less!
Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and one late summer night when we were laying in bed (I only have one bed, so she had been sleeping next to me every night since she got here) she turned to me and said "You know... I've known how to get back to Equestria for a while now". I was more than a little startled and enquired as to why she's continued to stay. Was it curiosity about my world and the desire to continue learning about it? Her response was a nervous and half whispered, "I... I love you."
I had no idea what to say, I was literally speechless in the best kind of way. I reached over, slid my hand up under her cheek, and cradling her head in my hands I kissed her... and she kissed me back. We stayed up almost all night that night cuddling and talking, and though it was still quite some time before we explored any kind of sexual activity together the romance we enjoyed from that point on was wonderful.
Eventually I did convince her that if she knew how to get back to Equestria she should go back for at least a day or two and check in with her friend and Princess Celestia to let them know she was okay and where she had been. So one day while I was at work she did, though she only ended up staying for 6 hours or so since she wanted to be back by the time I got home so I wouldn't be worried about her. The journey between dimensions is really exhausting and takes a lot out of her, so she doesn't travel back very often, but she does hop back and forth between dimensions from time to time to check in with everyone in her world and (usually inadvertently) get into the adventures you see on the TV show. So she does still have her life in Equestria that she tends to from time to time, but she spends the overwhelming majority of her time here on Earth with me. When she told Celestia about the whole experience the Princess was very supportive gave her full permission to return to Earth and spend as much time here as she likes, to live with me and continue to study the magic of love.
And that's pretty much how I like to think our relationship came to be.

She's just like you see her on the show, exactly the same curious, charming, brilliant, funny, beautiful mare I fell in love with what seems like ages ago. On the other hand, it also feels like just yesterday. It's funny how time flies when you're having fun. The only way she's changed at all since she got here is that she's a bit more adventurous in bed now I think. She didn't have any previous sexual experience so I took things very slowly, and though it was a little awkward for her initially (in a really cute and utterly charming way in my opinion), she found great satisfaction in the more intimate time we spend together. These days she's pretty much the boss in bed, and while I'm totally happy with that I will admit that every now and then I do miss those cute little moments of "Umm... am I doing this right?" and her nervously asking me questions through the whole process.

I think it's almost every mare's dream to be a Princess, and that's a dream that very few will ever accomplish. Now that my Twiley is on the verge of achieving that dream I am nothing but thrilled for her, and 100% supportive of her coronation into Princess-hood. She's always been my little Princess, and now she'll be a Princess to everyone else too. I can't help but think that's pretty awesome! (Note from Alan Pardew: Surprisingly he seems to take it quite well.)
