A Night To Remember

Afterwards, once they were all cleaned up, they merely laid beside each other and finished the movie, though it was hardly the center of their attention.  All had been quite in the moments immediately following, but then it was Rainbow Dash who pushed the subject that obviously lingered on both of their minds.  “Hey Twilight,” she asked rather quietly as she stared ahead at the movie.

“Yes Rainbow Dash?” came the equally quiet reply.

“Do you, I dunno…” she looked down at the floor and ran her hoof back and forth over the carpeting, “Do you think that was weird?”

Twilight looked down at the ground as well and thought about the events as they had unfolded.  It was only nature, and they were two very good friends who were deeply attached to each other in more ways than one.  “No,” she replied, “I don’t.”  She was quiet for a moment or two  after that, but then looked over at Rainbow Dash and asked, “Do you?”

Rainbow Dash thought hard about it.  She really hadn’t meant for it to go that far, but even though she didn’t there was no denying that she liked it.  “No,” she simply answered after some time.  “But Twilight,” she said, “I… I love you.  That’s what I’m worried about.”

“What’s there to be worried about?” Twilight asked, “I love you too.”

Rainbow Dash shook her head; she knew that Twilight wouldn’t understand.  “No,” she said, “that’s not what I mean.  I love you, love you.  You know, as more than a friend.”

Twilight replied, “Yeah, so?  That’s how I love you too.”

Rainbow Dash looked over at her with a look of disbelief on her face.  “Do you really mean that?” she asked softly.

“Of course I do,” replied Twilight, “I love everything about you.”

Rainbow Dash looked down with a blush on her face, “And I love everything about you too Twilight,” she said and smiled gently at her.  But then she frowned as another circumstance dawned on her.  “What about the other ponies?  Don’t you think they’ll be… I dunno… disgusted?”

Twilight looked down at the ground once more, for she knew that even though she didn’t want to admit it, it was the truth.  Two mares together was a taboo in Equestria.  Not illegal or anything of the sort, but just something that wasn’t common.  “I… I don’t know,” Twilight said the three words that were the least used in her vocabulary.  “We’ll manage somehow, I swear it,” she promised Rainbow Dash and craned her head over where she gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“I trust you, Twilight,” Rainbow Dash revealed and looked back up at the screen.

“I’m glad you do,” Twilight said with a smile.  With all of that sorted out, they returned to the sleepover as it should be.  “Popcorn?” Twilight offered with a smile.

Rainbow Dash looked at the bowl and then looked up at Twilight and they both giggled.  “Sure,” she said when she was finished laughing and got a hoofful of popcorn.  Once she was done chewing, she looked over at Twilight and asked, “So, how’s this for a sleepover so far?”

Twilight looked over at her and smiled.  “How does ‘best sleepover in history’ sound?  This will definitely be a night to remember.”
