The Mysterious Letter

“Trixie what are you doing back here?” Twilight said standing up and walking towards Trixie.

“Please Twilight Sparkle, do not hurt Trixie. She is not here to harm you or your friends.” She said while slowly backing away from Twilight.

“Hurt you?” Twilight said stopping in her tracks and looking at Trixie with a concerned look on her face. “I was just going to give you a friendly welcome back hug.”

“R-Really? I thought that you would hate me after I tried to run you out of Ponyville last time.” Trixie said while walking up to Twilight, still a little cautious.

Twilight took a step forward and hugged Trixie with a smile on her face. “You apologized that day, and you helped me with the performance I had in front of the ambassadors of Saddlearabia. You have made some bad choices in your life but i’am willing to give you a second chance.” Twilight let go of Trixie and walked back to the middle of the library to sit down again as Trixie got a soft smile on her face.

“Well it certainly is good to see that you don’t hold any grudge towards her Twilight. Unlike Rainbow Dash who made a fool out of herself and started to curse and throw insults towards Trixie when she laid eyes upon her.” Rarity said while sitting down on the opposite side of Twilight.

“Yeah. It was scary at first but after she calmed down it was easy for Trixie to apologize and become friends with that fast pegasus friend of yours. That was all I had to do for tonight. I think I’ll be heading back out now. See you tomorrow Rarity.” and with that she put the cloak back on but not bothering putting the hood on, she then looked back to Twilight and said. “Thank you for being so understanding Twilight Sparkle, and I hope to see you soon.” And with that, she left the library, leaving the hood off now that she didn’t need to hide from potential hate around town anymore.

“Well that was a pleasant surprise.” Twilight said while standing up closing the door after Trixie.

“It is actually good that you come in this point in time Rarity. I was kind of hoping you could advise me a little. I will most likely need it.” She said waving Rarity over to the kitchen so they could talk this over with some fresh drinks.

“Would you like some tea Rarity? I just got some chamomile tea from my mother, said it will help me calm down in my time of stress.”

“Sounds lovely darling. But what is it that you want my advice on? Is it about the mysterious mare that is sending you letters?” rarity said.

Twilight put the teapot on the stove and took out two teacups from the cupboard and placed them on the table. “Well yes. You see I went to meet her today and-” She could not finish the sentence before being interrupted by Rarity.

“Oh so Fluttershy finally decided to tell you. Well it is about time.” Rarity said while sitting down at the table.

Twilight sat down herself and a bit shocked she said. “Wait you knew it was her? Since when?

With a small laugh, Rarity simply looked at Twilight and said. “Twilight darling, me and Fluttershy spend three hour at the spa every week. When I happen to mention your name, or talk extensively about you. She has this little spark in her eyes and seems more comfortable with herself. Oh, and she starts blushing like mad. It's somewhat hard to miss if you ask me.

As Rarity finished her tale, the teapot started making the high-pitched sound signaling to the two mares that the tea is ready.

Pouring the hot water in the teacups and putting the tea bag in the water Rarity took a few dips of the bag to get the flavor of the tea in the water.

Taking a small sip of her hot tea Rarity placed the cup on the table and said. “So what was your answer darling? Or did you give her an answer at all?” taking another sip of her tea, Rarity looked over at Twilight and saw that she was looking down into her tea with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Twilight looked up at Rarity and said. “I don’t know Rarity, I mean I’m not quite sure what to feel. On one hoof, I'm flattered that there is somepony out there that has an interest in me in that way. However, on the other hoof I’m not sure how it will affect our friendship. What if we have a falling out and we-” Twilight was cut off yet again by Rarity before she was able to finish her thoughts.

“Now you listen to me Twilight. Love is never certain to work out, but I have a feeling if you and Fluttershy have a falling out you will and you love Fluttershy and she loves you, you will make up. If you want any tips from me Twilight, I say try. If it doesn't work, then it won’t work. But you never know for certain when it comes to love. It's unpredictable and definitely not something you can plan weeks in advance. You just have to roll with the punches and see what happens.”

While sitting and listening to what Rarity had to say Twilight thought “she is right, you know.” Twilight’s brain said to her. ”You never know what'll happen. Besides, what could it hurt to just go over to Fluttershy's cottage tomorrow and ask her out?” Again, her mind had a point and Twilight could not see a reason to why not at least try and see what happens.

“Thanks Rarity, you’re right. So right in fact, that I think I may go over to Fluttershy’s cottage tomorrow and ask her out.” She said determinedly with a smile. A smile that was shared by her proud friend. With that the two mares finished their tea and Twilight said her goodbye to Rarity. She headed home while Rarity headed for the bedroom to finish off the day, both nervous and excited for what the next day might bring.
