Fluttershy entered Twilight's home, still in a daze from the beautiful song that Twilight had sung so perfectly only moments before.

"Go on ahead to the restroom and clean yourself up," Twilight insisted, "You must be freezing! I've already got some Carrot crêpes started for supper tonight, so if you want to eat with Spike and I, let me know and I can make a few more. Alright?"

"Oh no," Fluttershy replied quickly, "I really shouldn't impose."

"Please Fluttershy, it's really no bother. It’s always nice to have company over for dinner."

"Yeah Fluttershy," Spike said, appearing suddenly at the bottom of the stairs. "Stay for dinner. Twilight’s crêpes are always so good!"

Fluttershy looked at Spike with delighted eyes. "Well, I suppose I could… I mean, how can I say no to you, Spike?" Fluttershy’s lips turned up into a delicate smile as she reached down to give Spike a pat on his head.

Pushing her hoof away, Spike harrumphed. "Hey now! I'm not a baby dragon anymore! I've already grown another two inches since last year. Y’know? I think I deserve to be treated like an adult now!" Spike crossed his arms and looked away from Fluttershy, pouting in defiance.

"I’m not so sure about that, Spike. You still look like an adorable little baby dragon to me." Fluttershy continued with a grin.
Spike heaved a sigh, knowing his argument was having no effect on Fluttershy. He hung his head and grudgingly accepted Fluttershy’s motherly cooing. Twilight smiled sheepishly at the two before trotted off into the kitchen.

"Remember, Fluttershy!" Twilight spoke loudly from where she was preparing the food, "No dirty hooves at the table! If you want, you can go use the shower upstairs. You must be feeling pretty icky after trudging here in all that mud!"

Fluttershy glanced at her hooves, to find mud caked around them in an earthy shell. With a gasp, she looked back towards the door she had come in from, horrified to see that she had tracked the dirt across Twilight’s floor.

"Oh dear. Oh my. I’m so, so, so sorry Twilight. Where are my manners? Oh, I'm so sorry." Fluttershy slouched lower and hid her face behind her voluminous mane.

"Don’t worry about it, Fluttershy." Spike said, "I’ve gotta clean the front room before supper anyways, I'll just mop the tracks up. You might wanna get clean though, it doesn’t take Twilight long to make those crêpes.”

With a nod Fluttershy proceeded to the restroom. She cantered inside, taking care to not smudge any more mud on the floor on her way, and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Gosh. I do look awful." she mumbled. With a flick of her hoof Fluttershy locked the door behind her and turned on shower, waiting patiently for the water to heat up to a nice temperature. After a few moments the downpour was warm enough to quell the shivers that had been wracking Fluttershy's body, and she stood under the water’s relaxing spray, washing the mud, leaves and twigs from her mane and coat. With a contented sigh she scrubbed at her fur, reflecting on what occurred earlier.

"What happened?" Fluttershy whispered. "I completely lost my mind. I- I don’t think I’ve ever felt like that in my entire life."

The mere thought of Twilight's serenade sent chills of pleasure down Fluttershy’s back. Nothing had made her feel that way before, let alone a song. Was it the words? The tune? The tempo? she didn’t know, but what ever it had been, it was still reverberating inside Fluttershy’s very being. The words kept running through her head, consuming her thoughts in a never-ending chorus that seemed to be sung by Celestia herself. No, she corrected herself, better than Celestia. Nothing could match what she had heard. Not even the voice of the royal princess herself.

"I wish I could have Twilight...” she murmured, her hoof trailing lower down her belly, towards her thighs, the water running in rivulets through the thin fur there, caressing her sensitive skin.

"Ah! Snap out of it, Fluttershy! Get a grip on yourself already! You never felt like this any other time Twilight was singing. You’ve got no excuse to be acting this way, missy!" she berated herself, letting out a frustrated sigh at her own inexplicable behaviour.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight called from the other side of the door, "Dinner's ready!"

"Okay," Fluttershy answered, her heart beating twice as fast at the sound of her friend’s voice. "I’ll be out in a second."

"What was that?"

"Almost done."

"I can't hear you!"

Fluttershy turned off the water and shook the excess droplets off. Trotting closer to the door, she tried again to reply to Twilight, "Um, I'm finished in here. I'll be out in just a second."

"Alright. Better hurry before the food gets cold.”

Fluttershy went to the mirror and looked herself in the eyes.

"What’s going on with me? I can't believe I'm feeling this way... and towards one of my best friends of all ponies!" she turned the faucet on and splashed some cold water on her face in an attempt to chase away the blush that had crept into her cheeks. What was this obsession she had grown towards Twilight? She couldn't put her hoof on it, but it was beginning to consume her, even more so as the night drew on. She shook her head and unlocked the door, trying to banish any thoughts of Twilight’s sinfully seductive voice from her mind. When she rounded the corner and peered into the kitchen she saw that Spike was setting up the table.

Spike caught sight of Fluttershy. “Go ahead and grab a seat, ‘Shy.”

"Why thank you, Spike." she smiled, taking the seat closest to her. "Oh my, I almost forgot. Twilight, I brought your watering can back. You forgot it at my house while you were helping me in my yard.

"Gosh, I guess I did, didn't I?" Twilight grinned. "I really need to learn to be less forgetful. Maybe there's a spell on it somewhere!" Twilight got a faraway look in her eyes as contemplated the possibilities. With a shake of her head she took a seat, placing the tray of crêpes in the centre of the table.

"Alright everypony. Dig in!"

Spike didn’t hesitate, quickly serving himself a heaping plateful of crêpes, downing one with a satisfied nod. Most pony food was bland and too healthy for his tastes, but these were the one exception to that. Most other nights he'd usually whip something up for himself, typically something composed mainly of gems, gems, more gems, and lots of sugar.
Taking a small bite herself, Fluttershy complimented Twilight on her cooking, "Wow, Twilight. These are really good!"

"Thanks Fluttershy," Twilight replied, "They’re pretty easy to make, I even added some raspberries this time as well. If you want I can give you the recipe later. I bet Angel Bunny would enjoy these, too!”

“Raspberries, hm? What gave you that idea?”

“It was a cooking experiment I tried a while ago. Spike was acting as my guinea pig, and he said that it tasted even better when they were added.” Twilight slid her gaze over to Spike. “But he would always tell me to add more sugar. Or even suggest a pinch of rubies; the glutton.” Twilight laughed at Spike’s defensive sputtering, a smile painting her features.

"Hey now!" Spike argued, "It's a dangerous task, being your tester. You remember when you made those spring rolls? I felt horrible! It was like a pitchfork was trying to escape from my stomach!”

Twilight cocked her head suspiciously, "I thought you said you liked those rolls."

"Umm," Spike stalled, knowing he'd been caught. "Erm, hah. Well, they weren't all bad, I guess. You still could’ve used less spice, though!

“Well why didn’t you tell me that! I gave those rolls to my parents when they visited, you know!”

"Really? Well, um, maybe us dragons have sensitive stomachs? Yeah, I’m sure that's it."

"Says the one who eats copious amounts of ice cream mixed with fire rubies whenever he gets the chance."

“Hey! You promised not to talk about that!”

Fluttershy chuckled at the duo’s banter as she ate. Abruptly, her fork stopped midway to her mouth, her eyes widening in shock. The song- she could hear it. She could hear it playing in her head. Why was the thing so mesmerizing!? She looked at Twilight from across the table, imagining the slow, melodious words that would come to life through her voice. Staring into the luminous purple globes of Twilight’s eyes, Fluttershy began to become intoxicated by the tune dominating her mind.

Had her eyes always been so beautiful? So deep and lovely? Fluttershy wished they would turn to her and let her see inside Twilight’s soul, so that she could uncover the secrets of the sacred song. So that she may--

"Hello? Anypony there?" Twilight called, attempting to break Fluttershy from her daze. Fluttershy snapped back to reality to find Spike and Twilight looking at her with perplexed expressions on their faces.

"Are you okay, Fluttershy?" Twilight inquired.

"Yes, of- of course." Fluttershy blushed. "I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something I have to do later, I’m sorry if I was starting or being rude or- or- or..." her voice grew smaller with every word that left her muzzle.

"Don't worry about it," Twilight reassured her, "There's been a lot of stuff on my mind too. Apparently my parents have been asked to--" Twi stopped and looked at Fluttershy with an intense gaze, almost as if she was trying to piece together a puzzle. Twilight blinked, breaking eye contact with Fluttershy, only to crack a wide grin. Why was she smiling? Fluttershy could only look at her friend in confusion.

"Spike, you can go upstairs and go bed. I'll go ahead and clean up the kitchen."

Spike stretched and yawned, "Thanks Twi. I'm so tired right now I could sleep through the second coming of Nightmare Moon." Pushing his empty plate away and getting up sluggishly, Spike tottered up the stairs and disappeared into the room he shared with Twilight. Twilight waited for the door to shut before turning back to Fluttershy, the same unnerving grin plastered across her muzzle.

Fluttershy felt an uneasy prickle crawl down her spine. Had she done something funny? Had she been rude? Too loud? Did Twilight know about the spying? About the song? About what it did to Fluttershy?

"Okay Fluttershy. Fess up, I saw you at the window," Twilight said, still smiling. “I knew you were there most of the time, so why were you spying on me? I think that's a very bad thing for such a sweet little pony like you to do. You know you shouldn't be spying on other ponies like that, especially your best friends. I could’ve been doing something… naughty, and you would’ve seen it all. And that would’ve been just terrible."

"Oh... well... you see... it's just that..." Fluttershy couldn't make up an excuse, but she didn't want Twilight to know the truth about the song.

"I think there's a lesson to be learned here." Twilight stated.

Twilight forced Fluttershy's chair back, causing Fluttershy to fall to the floor. No matter how hard she tried, Fluttershy couldn’t move. It was like she was being held in place.

Twi got up from her chair and walked to the other end of the table, her horn glowing with the magenta aura of her magic.

"Ugh! Twilight? What are you doing, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked, a tremor evident in her voice.

"I think you already know it's not nice to spy on other ponies, Fluttershy," Twilight said, ignoring the other pony’s question. "Maybe you just need to be reminded of your manners." Twilight stretched Fluttershy's legs apart and threw herself on top of her.

"Twilight!"

"I'm going to teach you how to behave, Fluttershy." Twilight said, giving Fluttershy a devilish smile before lowering her muzzle to Shy’s and locking lips with her. Taken aback by Twilight’s sudden attack, Fluttershy froze. After a moment, she kissed Twilight back with all the fervor she could muster. Without pause, Twilight's tongue teased Fluttershy’s lips, pushing past them to sink into her warm mouth. Fluttershy immediately repeated the other mare’s action, snaking her own tongue past Twilight’s warm lips to explore her mouth, reveling in the succulent taste of her best friend’s on her eager tongue. She could barely comprehend how amazing Twilight tasted, to her it was more delicious than anything else in the world, and the hint of raspberry that Fluttershy detected from supper drove her senses wild.

Twilight thrusted her tongue further into Fluttershy’s damp cave, making her eyes close and her body shudder in need. Caressing her flowing mane with one hoof, Twilight pulled Fluttershy closer, pressing their bodies together in a hot embrace.

Twi gave one last flick of her tongue before exiting Shy's mouth. She kissed her lips again, trailing her tongue down Fluttershy's neck and chest to trace circles around her belly button. Fluttershy was in ecstasy, moaning at the erotic sight of Twilight laving her body with her tongue.

With deliberate movements, Twilight travelled lower still, drawing closer to the sensitive nub between Fluttershy’s legs.

"Oh Twilight. Please! I've never wanted anything more in my entire life than to be with you right now!" Fluttershy pleaded, sexy little moans of need escaping her.

"The feeling's mutual," Twilight replied, lust lacing her every word. "I've always wanted to be with you, and now I am, Fluttershy… Fluttershy… Fluttershy… Fluttershy!"

Fluttershy snapped out of her trance and saw Twilight and Spike staring at her with worried looks on their faces.

"Are you sure you're okay, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked with concern.

"Yeah," Spike said, "You've been zoning out all evening.”

"I'm fine. Really!" Fluttershy assured them. "I guess I'm just more tired than I thought. I think I should head back home and get some rest."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay here for the night?" Twilight asked, "I certainly don’t want you walking home on your own if you’re that tired..."

"I'm sure I'll be okay, but thank you for dinner, Twilight. I really enjoyed it!" Fluttershy smiled.
Getting up to show Fluttershy the door, Twilight said, "Well, if you change your mind on the way there, don't be hesitant to come back. There's always room for one more here."

"Thank you again for dinner, and I’ll be sure to turn back if I get too exhausted. Have a good night Twilight, Spike."
With that, Fluttershy began walking back to her cottage.

The storm died down after Fluttershy left the library, and now only a few drops fell from the crisp night sky. Fluttershy welcomed the cool breeze that soothed her burning skin.

"Oh Twilight." Fluttershy said, looking up to the shimmering stars. "Why do I feel this way about you?" she blushed, embarrassed that she had been fantasizing about Twilight at supper.

"I've never felt like this about anypony before, especially not towards one of my own friends..."
Fluttershy sighed and continued towards her cottage. Almost without thought, she took a deep breath and began to sing.

My heart flutters at the sound of your voice,
I can’t help but to love you, I don't have a choice,
I feel her words, beckoning me from so far away,
I can’t stand to see you go, but I refuse to make you stay,
Will you answer my call? Or will you let me fall again,
Just stay with me forever, and we can take on the world together,
We can bear the strife, and choose to share our lives,

We’re vibrant souls colliding; and as long as I’m with you, we’ll always be shining.

Author's Note

I know it's weird trying to sound out a song in text that you've never heard of before, but I like to see it as just imagining your own rhythm and how you feel it should sound based on the words. Hope you ponies enjoy it!
