Opposites Attract
Chapter 5
Previous ChapterWhen Twilight awoke, it was about 10:00. She part-way opened her eyes to see a pink blur right in front of her. When her vision became clear, she noticed that the pink blur was Pinkie's face, just centimeters from hers.
"Ahh!" Twilight screamed as she jumped back from the surprise.
"Hehehehe! I gotchya! You should have seen the look on your face when you realized it was me! Hehehehe!" Pinkie fell back on the bed and began giggling uncontrollably. Twilight smiled and watched the pink mare. She realized how cute she was when she laughed like that. When she stopped laughing, she continued. "Good morning, Twilight!"
"Good morning, Pinkie Pie." Twilight gave Pinkie a quick kiss on the snout which made Pinkie smile.
"So, Twilight, when are we gonna tell our friends about this?" Pinkie asked. Twilight thought to when she told Rainbow Dash. Rainbow was right. It did work out.
"Whenever you're ready, Pinkie."
"Great! The picnic will be today!"
"Picnic? What's a picnic have to do with telling our friends about our relationship?"
"We make the announcement there, silly!"
"Oh, that makes sense." How will my other friends take this? Oh gosh, I hope *they** don't react badly...* "So, Pinkie. How did you sleep after I got into bed with you? No more nightmares?"
"Nope! I had sweet dreams from there out! Some about gumdrops! Mmmm... Now I want gumdrops!" They both giggled. I guess they couldn't be mad that we're happy together. Pinkie bolted quickly down the stairs and came up with a medium-sized bag of gumdrops and set them on the bed. "Want one?"
"Yes please." Twilight took one and smiled. "Wow, Pinkie! Did you make these?"
"Yep! Secret family recipe!"
"They are really, really good!"
"Want another?"
"No, thank you. I'm fine." And with that, Pinkie Pie blitzkreiged through the bag of gumdrops, not leaving a speck of sugar.
"Yum! I really love gumdrops!"
"I noticed." They both giggled. "So, when do you want the picnic to be today?
"Hmm... Let me think...12:30! At the hill where we had it yesterday."
"Alright, I have to go home and get ready. Could you please invite our friends? I think eating those gumdrops gave you a lot of energy."
"Sure, Twilight! I can speed around town at mach-nine!"
"Really? Mach-nine isn't physically possible for a pony to be able to reach with walking or running speed."
"Oh, really? Is that a bet?"
"No, I just think that-" Twilight was cut off by Pinkie.
"THREE TWO ONE GO!" Pinkie sped off and out of the house. A few seconds later, she came back, carrying: Braeburn? From Appleoosa? Braeburn was dropped in Pinkie's bedroom.
"Could you please take me back to Appleoosa? I was kinda bucking trees when you just picked me up and brought me back to this town," Braeburn said, sounding disgruntled.
"Sure!" And with that, Pinkie sped off with Braeburn and came back to Sugarcube Corner without him.
"Not physically possible, huh?" Pinkie said. Twilight's mouth was agape. That's... Impossible!
"Well, Pinkie, I have to get going. That was an amazing show, I had no idea how you did that. But I need to get ready for the picnic. I'm sure you will do well in inviting our friends."
"I will! Love ya, Twilight!" It was then Pinkie noticed Twilight's mane. "Twilight! Your mane! It's in a wicked frizz! Hehehehehe!!!!" Twilight looked in the mirror behind her.
"Oh my gosh!" She began laughing along with Pinkie. After about a minute of laughing, they stopped and went back to saying goodbye. "I love you too, Pinkie." They shared another kiss, deeper than the one they shared when they got up. "Bye, Pinkie."
"Bye, Twilight! See ya at the picnic!" Twilight departed, walking back to Golden Oaks library when she saw a pink blur blitz past her. Twilight giggled to herself and continued walking to her home.
***************************************
When Twilight arrived home, she was instantaneously showered with questions by Spike. "How was the sleepover? What did you talk about there? What did you do there?"
"I'll tell you in a little bit, Spike. Right now, I need to get showered and ready for another picnic. But it's an interesting story, alright." Twilight got a quick shower and brushed her mane and teeth for the day. After she got back to the main area of the library, the got Spike breakfast and she collected food for the picnic and put it in a basket. It was likely the others would be bringing food as well, but she thought better safe than sorry.
"Twilight, since you look like you're done getting ready, could you tell me what's going on?"
"Alright, spike I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to laugh.
"Promise!"
"Alright. So yesterday, I went to the picnic. Pinkie Pie was the last to get there. But when she arrived, she looked..." She blushed for a minute. "Stunning. I couldn't believe my eyes, Spike. I needed to get it off my chest to somepony, so I told Rainbow Dash. I resolved to tell Pinkie at sunset yesterday. I did so, and she was indecisive at first. She let me have a sleepover for an experiment. We had a pillow fight, watched a scary movie-"
"Can I watch the scary movie?"
"No, Spike."
"Darn."
"So anyways, after the scary movie, we ended up playing 'Truth or Dare'. She realized how much fun we had at the sleepover and... Well... The rest is my business."
"Did you kiss her?" Twilight quickly responded in panic.
"NO!" She began blushing uncontrollably.
"Sure you didn't..." He said in a sarcastic tone. "A panicked 'No' always means yes."
"How would you know that?"
"When being told to read by a librarian, you accidentally stumble upon romance novels."
"Hey, won't ya look at the time, I gotta get going! Bye, Spike! Waffles are on the table!" Twilight bolted out the door, but came back. "Oh yeah, almost forgot!" She put the magical lock on the fridge. Spike then gave a look of disapproval before Twilight re-departed.
***************************************
Twilight arrived at the picnic to see all of her friends at the hill, some with picnic baskets with the blanket lain down on the hill next to the tree. Pinkie was the first to notice Twilight's arrival.
"Hello, Twilight!"
"Hi, Pinkie! Hello, everypony." Twilight sat down next to Pinkie, noticeably closer than usual. Rainbow Dash got up and motioned Twilight to come away from the picnic for a bit. Twilight hesitated, but then followed Rainbow to a stream at the base of the hill.
"So, Twilight. Did you tell her?"
"I'll tell you in a little bit. Just sit tight and I'll tell everypony what happened."
"That totally means yes! How did she react?"
"I'll tell you in a little bit!" Twilight then ran back to the picnic and sat back down next to Pinkie. Rainbow Dash came back too, with a knowing look on her face. About halfway through the picnic, Pinkie looked at Twilight and nodded, implying that they should tell their friends.
"Everypony, we have an announcement to make!" Pinkie began. Rainbow Dash looked at Twilight with an even larger knowing grin.
"What's going on, Pinkie?" Rainbow Dash said, almost sarcastically. She knew what was happening.
"Twilight, do you want to tell them?" Pinkie asked Twilight. Twilight blushed.
"Uhh... Actually... Could you please tell them?"
"Sure! Everypony, Twilight and I are in a romantic relationship!" Four gasps and hoof-clapping was heard by them and then Rarity began to congratulate them.
"Oh my stars, darling. That is amazing! When is your first date?"
"Does a sleepover count?" Pinkie asked.
"I guess it does. But oh my goodness, that is wonderful!"
"Yesterday, then!" Multiple questions arose and most of them were answered. The picnic went well, also. Most of the food was great. Except Rainbow Dash's. Rainbow Dash isn't the best chef in the world. Rainbow Dash was the first to depart the picnic.
"I got Wonderbolts practice I need to go to." Rainbow Dash winked at Twilight. "Gotta dash!" And then she left. Rarity was next.
"I really wish I could stay, but I really must catch up on a request for a customer's dress. Twilight, Pinkie Pie. I wish you good luck in your relationship. Have a wonderful day, everypony!" Third was Fluttershy.
"I have to get back home to feed Angel Bunny. I'm already late, so I got to go. Bye, everypony. Congratulations on your relationship!" Applejack was next.
"Ah reckon ah ought tah get back home. Ah promised I'd help Applebloom on her math homework. Congrats to ya two. Have a good day, y'all." Pinkie Pie was last.
"Hey, Twilight. I should really be getting back to Sugarcube Corner. I have a cake I need to help bake for a wedding!"
"I'm sure that the wedding will be great! Especially because you baked the cake!"
"Thanks, Twilight." Pinkie gave Twilight a quick kiss on the lips (Little did they know, Rainbow Dash was watching from a cloud above). Pinkie Pie began to leave.
"Pinkie, wait!"
"Yeah, Twilight?" Twilight blushed as she said:
"Are you free tonight?"
"Sure, Twilight! Were you planning on taking me somewhere?"
"Actually, I was."
"Where are we going? No, wait! Keep it a surprise! I love surprises!"
"I know you do." Twilight smiled and kissed Pinkie goodbye.
"Bye, Twilight. I love ya."
"Love you too, Pinkie. See you tonight." Rainbow Dash was on a cloud, plotting her move to spy on their date.
"Hehehehehe...." Rainbow Dash giggled in a wicked tone.
