A Rainbow of Pink

Chapter 5: Love crossed.

Twilight and I screamed as Noble Pony Emerald Rose collapsed neatly on the floor. Mystery the butler dashed in "What did you do to her?!!" He cried, "Nothing, we just told her that well, Soarin is... Cheating on her.... " I drifted off. Mystery had put his hoof on mine and was looking deep into my eyes "Why are you looking at her like that?" Twilight asked accusingly. "It's just, well, Pinkie Pie is that you?" He asked looking directly at me. "How do you know my name? Are you psychic?!! Ooh ooh what's going to happen Tomorrow???" I was sooo excited, I loved psychics! He chuckled sweetly "No Pinkie Pie, don't you remember me?" I shook my head "It's me Mystery Gloom! I was in your class at school, I asked you to be my erm... Very special somepony." He stuttered.

"Oh my Celestia! Mystery?!! But you're so handsome? What the buck happened?!!" I cried. Now I remembered, Mystery Gloom was a shy and secluded little colt, he used to be bullied because he was a - a... I gasped  "Where the buck are your wings and horn?" I shrieked. "So you remember me! Well my horn and wings are still here, my wings are under my suit and my horn is under my mane. Look.." He stripped off and shook his hair out. Twilight started drooling. "You're an Alicorn like me!". She exclaimed. "Yes but I'm not royalty, I doubt Princess Celestia knows about me. And as for looks, Photo Finish thought she would let her stylists give me a makeover so I could be their model for a week. See Princess Twilight, Pinkie and I lived as neighbours, her on a rock farm and me on a Pineapple farm (bit weird I know). Pinkie used to throw parties for the village that we lived in. I used to watch her dance and I used to want to dance as well." He said staring into my eyes with a passionate stare. I freaked out and cried "Aren't we sort of forgetting the unconscious noble pony lying at our hooves?!!"

20 mintues later, Twilight and I were trotting out of the door waving a pale looking Emerald Rose fair well. She promised us she would meet us at Twilight's library to discuss a time when she would out herself to Rainbow Dash and Soarin as Soarin's marefriend. As we walked onto the street Twilight stopped and turned to me. "Ever since I had that awful relationship with Flash Sentry I thought I would change to mares and try my luck. I fell for you Pinkie..." My face went red and I was about say something but Twilight cut me in. "But I think I've fallen for Mystery Gloom, he's so... Amanezing!" I sighed with relief and said "I'm glad because I think he likes you." I lied, I saw him dashing down the street to talk to us. "Twilight go and grab a hot chocolate from that cafe over there and I'll ask him whether he likes you or not. Ok go, GO!"

I hurried Twilight into a cafe and turned to face a panting Mystery. "Pinkie there is something I need to do that I've wanted to do since I was a filly...."  He dragged me by my hoof into a back street where he kissed me as though it was his last kiss ever. He kissed me down my neck and along my collarbone. A rogue moan escaped my lips. As wrong as this was because I still loved Rainbow. This colt was beautiful. He stopped kissing me and looked deep into my eyes. "I still want to be your very special somepony Pinkie." I grabbed his mane and pulled him back onto my lips and kissed him passionately. I stopped eventually. "I have to go, give me your address and I'll come and see you soon to talk. Ok, and Mystery.. Don't tell anyone about this..." I took his adress out of a business card of his blue suit and turned to go, facehoofing inside, but he grabbed my hoof in his "I love you Pinkie Pie..." I sighed and left the alley to see an eager Princess waiting across the street holding a two hot chocolates. I dashed over to my new best friend and hugged her.

On the train back to Ponyville, Twilight quizzed me on what Mystery had said "He err said he wanted you to come and visit him at some point next week, I got his address so you could. He thought you would have a lot to talk about. So I'd say there's a lot of potential for a relationship!" I knew I was lying to Twilight but I just wanted her to be happy... Because If she was happy it would make me more happy. Because right now I'm  really just confused. I mean it seems like everypony is love crossed and I'm stuck in the middle attempting to make sense of things. I mean so far the list goes:

Twilight loved me but now she loves Mystery

Mystery loves me

I love Rainbow Dash but I can't help liking Mystery

Rainbow Dash loves Soarin

Soarin loves Emerald Rose AND Rainbow Dash

And I'm pretty sure Emerald has the hots for Twilight.

Oh Celestia! How the BUCK do I sort this out?!!
