Opposites Attract
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"You need to talk to me? About what?" Pinkie began shaking, meaning her Pinkie Sense was working. This was a doozy.
"Pinkie? Are you OK?"
"I don't know! My Pinkie Sense is telling me that there is gonna be a doozy!"
"It is going to be a doozy alright." Is it good? Or is it bad? I hope she accepts it. "Pinkie. There is somepony I have a slight crush on." Completely oblivious to the situation, Pinkie began sputtering out all of her questions.
"Oooooh!!!! Oh my gosh! Is he nice? Is he handsome? What's his name? Is he-"
"Pinkie. Remember what I told you about rambling."
"Sorry, Twilight. It's just exciting! What's his name? Huh?"
"It's..." Great. Gotta tell another pony I'm in love with a mare. "It's a mare."
"Oh, that's OK, Twilight! What's her name?" Twilight's fears were beginning to come back. Is she going to accept it? What will this do to our friendship?
"Pinkie Pie... It's you. I think I'm in love with you, Pinkie."
"Ooooh!!! That is soooo cute! When are you gonna tell her? When are you gonna ask her... Ooohhh..." Pinkie Pie's expression was unreadable. She looked confused, at the least.
"I'm so sorry, Pinkie. I just had to get this off of my chest." Twilight was sweating very hard now. She was like a Popsicle in the mid-day sun.
"Y-you love me?"
"Yes, Pinkie. I'm in love with you."
"G-gosh, Twilight. I never would have guessed. I don't understand." Twilight walked closer to Pinkie.
"Pinkie, when you arrived at the picnic in your dress, I was astounded. You looked beautiful. Stunning. I don't care if you went overboard with the dress. You just looked absolutely amazing. I never felt anything like it before in my entire life. I guess it explains me getting a warm, fuzzy feeling when I'm with you or you are giving me a compliment or a hug. I will and have always loved all of my friends, but this is something different. You are fun, wacky and hilarious. You are an expert at cooking and you just make me happy, like you do anypony. But it feels different than when I'm with my other friends. It's weird that a bookworm like me would have a crush on a funny, sometimes crazy pony. In the good way, of course. But everypony thought I had 'the hots' for Cheerilee. But I didn't. Pinkie..." Twilight fought for the right words. "Will you be my very-special somepony?" An awkward silence ensued for about thirty seconds.
"I... I have to think about it for a while. I'm just not sure yet. But don't worry about anything. You will still be my friend, no matter what and I think of you no less. No matter what I decide on, you will still be one of my best friends."
"Thank you, Pinkie Pie. It's nice to know you don't hate me. Anyway, can we lay here for a little bit? I'm enjoying spending time here. I know you haven't made a decision yet, but I would still like to be here with you." Pinkie Pie smiled and answered.
"Sure, Twilight." The two lay down on the soft ground, close to each other. Although Pinkie hadn't decided yet, she wanted to make Twilight happy by nuzzling her on her neck, which sent a surge of happiness through Twilight. Twilight was enjoying her time with Pinkie. She felt warm , and not from nervousness anymore. Now it was coming directly from Pinkie Pie. Twilight was happy, hopeful, and excited. Pinkie Pie decided on an experiment.
"Hey, Twilight. I have a guest bed in my room back at Sugarcube Corner. Do you want to stay the night? Maybe if I spend some time with you, I might be able to make a decision." The unicorn was extremely surprised and excited. She just couldn't turn down the offer.
"I would love to, Pinkie."
*****************************************************************
Arriving at Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie and Twilight trotted up the stairs to Pinkie Pie's room. Twilight remembered something and panicked.
"Oh, no! I forgot to tell Spike where I was going to be!" Her mind scrambled again, and she remembered that she always carried the magical paper that is able to be sent to Princess Celestia. She also had a quill and some parchment with her. She looked at the window and saw a candle. Twilight got an idea. "Pinkie, I'm going to send a letter to Princess Celestia with a note attached, telling her to send it back to Spike. I can't send letters directly to him, so it has to go to the Princess before it goes to Spike."
Twilight wrote the letter and included a note, telling the Princess to send the letter back to Spike. Included in the letter was the location of Twilight so Spike knew where she was. She used the candle to burn the paper and send the letter. It was on it's way to Canterlot. It seemed stupid that the note had to travel all that distance just for it to go back to Spike, just a kilometer away. Twilight was snapped out of her thoughts by Pinkie Pie.
"Twilight, why are you staring out the window?"
"Oh, I was just thinking about the distance the letter was traveling."
"You aren't gonna make a big chart in my room, are you?" They both shared in on a laugh. The moments Twilight was spending with Pinkie Pie felt great. The laughs. The talking. Everything. It felt great. She loved it. She loved her. Pinkie Pie began to talk again. "I know! Let's have a slumber party! It will be great!", insisted the Pink Playful Party Pony.
"That's a great idea! What do you want to do fir-" Twilight's answer was abruptly ended with a pillow to the face. Quoting Rarity, she followed up on the pillow attack. "Oh, it is on."
