Roseluck didn't respond immediately; she couldn't, as she was too entranced by the voluptuous mare that lay in front of her.

The warm but dim light of nearby candles gently illuminated the waves of purple that framed Rarity's face, casting alluring shadows over her deep blue eyes. Twin streams of sheer black silk draped over her gorgeous form before coming to rest on top of her curvaceous flanks.

Roseluck's stare followed an almost natural path from the unicorn's partially obscured cutie marks over her hips and between her toned hind legs. She could feel her mouth go dry – and her haunches grow damper – as her eyes locked on Rarity's swollen, glistening marehood.

The unicorn's honeyed voice called to her like a mythical siren. "Normally, I'd be more than happy to let you stare at me all day..."

As she spoke, Rarity slowly leaned back on the table and propped herself up with her forelegs, allowing the black negligee to expose nearly her entire underside as it fell away from her chest. Her long, purple tail cascaded down like a waterfall as she pushed her rump further off the table and spread her hind legs even wider than before, slightly parting her outer lips to reveal the tender, pink flesh beneath them.

Now fully exposed in every way imaginable, Rarity fixed her with a come-hither stare that even the Princess of Love would have succumbed to.

"...But, I'd prefer this to be more, shall we say, interactive."

Roseluck nearly forgot to breathe again. Oh stars, I want her right now... Her thoughts trailed off as her eyes repeated their journey over Rarity's body again and again. Her heart was pounding against her ribcage, desperate to finally unleash its long restrained desires; it took every bit of what self-control she had left not to break into a gallop and jump Rarity then and there.

But this time, we really do have all night, she thought as she took her first step toward Rarity. And if this is all that I might have, I'm going to make the most of it.

Roseluck slowly crossed the room, her hips and her long tail swinging in time with each step. As she drew closer to Rarity, her mind raced through the dozens of fantasies that had occupied her many lonely days, and her even lonelier nights, for years. She had lost count of the times she had found herself this close to touching - to tasting - physical perfection... Only to have it fade away into the aether, leaving her heart yearning for the real thing, and her core begging for release.

But now, as she placed her forelegs onto the table next to Rarity, Roseluck felt a wave of pure sexual energy wash over her. But this... she thought as she inhaled deeply, letting the decadent scent of hot wax, arousal, and perfume flood her mind, ...This is very real.

In one smooth motion, Roseluck wrapped her forelegs around Rarity and pulled her closer. Rarity responded in near perfect harmony, wrapping her hind legs around Roseluck's lower back. The feeling of the unicorn's smooth, heaving chest against her own sent a shiver down Roseluck's spine, and she nearly saw stars when she felt Rarity's smoldering marehood come in contact with her body.

The glow of the candles seemed to cast a halo around Rarity's face as Roseluck shifted her head to look up at her. She could almost feel Rarity's blue eyes boring through her, burning away the last shred of her inhibitions like ice on the face of the sun. A visible shudder raced through her body as she continued to drown in Rarity's half-lidded stare, sending rivulets of arousal flowing down her haunches and onto her inner thighs.

And this is only just the beginning, she thought as she tightened her grip around Rarity, nickering softly as the gesture was returned in-kind. Minutes seemed to pass in slow motion as they held each other tightly; only the sound of their panting breath, and the roar of their thundering hearts broke the silence around them.

After what felt like a blissful eternity, Roseluck slowly raised her head enough to plant a gentle, almost reverent kiss on Rarity's neck. The moment her lips touched Rarity's coat sent a shockwave through her body, releasing waves of pent up desire directly into her veins.

She was about to lift her head when she felt Rarity's hoof slide up her back and press against the back of her head, gently holding her in place. Roseluck responded immediately with a second, deeper kiss. A soft moan slipped from her mouth as she slowly dug her lips and tongue into Rarity's neck with equal parts patience and hunger. She laid her tongue flat against the white, velvet-like fur as she slowly moved her lips across Rarity's neckline, eliciting a soft groan from the unicorn.

They had barely begun, yet Roseluck was already on the verge of total overload; as she finally let her lips part from Rarity's coat, she couldn't stop a single, happy tear from falling down her cheek. Rarity's eyes widened for a moment at the sight.

"Rose, are you alright?" she asked quietly.

"Heavens yes," Roseluck panted. "It's just that– You, you're just so beautiful Rarity, and I..." she paused for a moment as a fierce blush ran through her face, "I guess I'm still afraid that this is all just another dream, and I'm going to wake up at any moment..."

"I do want you to wake up, Rose," Rarity replied softly as she continued to cradle Roseluck's muzzle in her neck. "But when you do, I want you to be lying next to me."

Roseluck's heart nearly burst in her chest with joy at those words. She shifted her head enough to flash a teasing grin at Rarity. "Hmm, I'd like that very much. Although, that's a bit more than a simple 'nudge', wouldn't you say?"

"Hmm... You could say that," Rarity replied in a silky tone. "But our work together so far has been wonderful..." She lowered her voice even further, until it was barely a whisper of hot air in Roseluck's ear.

"...And after last night, I'd really like to finish the ensemble that we were creating."

The final wall that held back Roseluck's every fantasy crumbled, sending waves of unchained lust flooding into every inch of her body. The mare of her dreams was in her grasp, whispering in her ear, nearly begging to be taken.

"That's good," she said as she leaned up in Rarity's embrace, slowly raising a hoof through her purple curls before wrapping it around the back of the unicorn's neck. "Because after last night, I owe you a masterpiece."

The words had barely left her mouth when Roseluck smoothly pulled Rarity's lips down to her own, trapping them in a deep, sensual kiss. She moved her lips against Rarity's in slow, deliberate motions, savoring every inch of the unicorn's silky lips against her own. Rarity responded in almost perfect synchrony, matching each of Roseluck's soft pants and whimpers with one of her own.

Roseluck leaned up further, allowing her to draw Rarity deeper into her embrace... A move that the unicorn matched by tightening her hind legs further around Roseluck's lower back. Their kiss never broke for an instant as they continued to steal the breath from each other with each movement. Roseluck's tongue reached out to gently tease the edge of Rarity's lips, as if it were asking to be let in. Rarity let out a throaty groan as she eagerly opened her mouth to accept Roseluck's advances.

But just as Rarity began to quicken the pace, Roseluck slowed her passionate assault. Her lips slowed to a near-stop as she let her tongue slowly begin to explore every inch of Rarity's mouth. Roseluck's tongue was soon met by a very eager partner, and together, they began a slow, intricate dance. Their lips were barely touching, their tongues the only things linking their mouths together... Yet the dance continued without pause. Roseluck could almost feel Rarity's blood pumping faster in her veins as the heat between the two mares grew hotter by the second.

Rarity quickly began to melt under Roseluck's tender assault, leaning further back onto the table as she raised a hoof to grab onto Roseluck's mane for leverage. Roseluck only probed deeper into Rarity's mouth in response, eliciting another loud groan of pleasure from the unicorn.

Another shudder rocked Roseluck's body as another stream of her arousal dripped onto her haunches. The growing heat from her marehood was only amplified by the feeling of Rarity's own soaked lips against the soft yellow fur of her belly. The combined effect set Roseluck's entire lower body on fire, and it was all that she could do to keep her legs from buckling on the spot.

With a final flick of her tongue against the inside of Rarity's upper lip, Roseluck broke the kiss... And immediately dropped her head onto Rarity's heaving chest as she struggled to find her breath. "Oh... Wow..." she could barely get the words out between pants. "Th– Rarity... That was incredible..."

"Was it as good as you imagined it would be?" she asked softly as she placed a small kiss on Roseluck's ear.

"No... It was better," Roseluck panted meekly. The light from a single candle reflected in Rarity's lust-filled gaze, as if it were the only star in the vast night sky.

"So, in these dreams of yours..." Rarity peppered Roseluck's ears with soft kisses as she spoke. "...What happened next?"

"Hmm, lots of– Mmhm... Lots of things," she whimpered as Rarity began gently nipping the tip of her ear.

"What kinds of things?" replied Rarity in between two more teasing kisses.

"Ver– Oh yes... Very naughty things." Roseluck's voice could barely function under Rarity's continued teasing.

Rarity's voice became a seductive whisper in her ear. "Then show me."

Roseluck's breath hitched in her throat as the words sank in; her mind scrambled for a moment as she sifted through those dozens of dreams again. A particular dream stuck out amidst the haze in her mind, and she couldn't stop a smirk from crossing her lips. Why didn't I think of this one in the first place?

Without another word, Roseluck brought her lips to Rarity's, her tongue immediately diving back into the unicorn's open lips. Roseluck knew what she wanted to do; after all, she had seen this scene many times in her dreams. She simply let her conscious self step to the side, and let her mind's eye drive her every move.

She pushed the kiss deeper for a split-second, then released it with an intentional flourish, eliciting a faint whine from Rarity. "You won't keep a lady waiting, will you Rose?"

Her mind flashed briefly to the previous evening, and to the final moments before their interruption. "Oh, I won't keep you waiting, Rarity. But as you said, the greatest pieces usually take the longest to develop..." A devious smile tugged at the edge of her lips.

"...And I plan on taking my time."

Before Rarity could respond, Roseluck shifted her head past Rarity's lips and began planting gentle, wet kisses on her muzzle, moving a bit further down her jaw line with each touch of her lips. Her muzzle became half-covered in long strands of purple as she reached the corner of Rarity's jaw; she smiled blissfully as she drew a deep breath, letting the combined scent of Rarity and her shampoo flood her nose.

As she exhaled, she landed a deep kiss into Rarity's neck just below her jaw. She could feel her own hot breath wash back against her as her tongue smoothly lapped at the warm fur beneath her. "Mmhm... Darling, that's wonderful..." Rarity cooed softly as she leaned her head back, exposing more of her smooth neck to Roseluck's soft lips. Roseluck hummed contentedly as she continued to caress every inch of Rarity's neck with her lips, drawing more contented sighs from the unicorn.

Roseluck slowly shifted her body lower as she crossed the hollow of Rarity's neck onto her chest, her lips never breaking contact with her silky smooth coat for more than a moment. Without pausing for a moment, she brought a hoof underneath the gleaming gem that served as the clasp of Rarity's black negligee; a single flick of her hoof unlatched the catch on the back of the gem, allowing the sheer fabric to fall languidly off of Rarity's shoulders.

"Rose, how did you do that so quickly?" she asked breathily.

Roseluck smiled playfully. "Well, when you don't have a horn or wings to help, you learn to be very precise in your movements." She slowly dragged the tip of her other hoof up Rarity's side for emphasis, eliciting another gasp from the unicorn.

She continued to explore nearly every inch of Rarity's chest, leaving a hot trail of saliva and matted fur as she continued her slow, wandering path down the length of her now fully exposed barrel. Her lips and hooves never stopped for a second, mixing kisses, licks, and gentle nibbles with continued caresses along her sides. Roseluck could feel the shivers of pleasure running through Rarity's body as she ventured ever closer to her very center.

Rarity arched her back a bit as Roseluck began lavishing attention on the lower half of her stomach, her soft lips inching closer to her soaked lips with each kiss. "Mmhm... Rose... Please keep go— Ohh!" Her words cut off when Roseluck took one of her nipples in her mouth, letting her tongue draw a lazy circle around it over and over again. She closed her lips tightly around the hard nub and sucked gently before releasing it with a flourish.

"Don't stop, Rose... Don't st— Aahn!" Rarity barely got the words out before Roseluck grabbed her other nipple in her mouth, licking and sucking on it in the exact same fashion. Now let's up the ante a bit, she thought as she brought a hoof up to begin teasing the first nipple while her lips continued to suckle and lick the second. Rarity could only groan and mewl in response, arching her back further to offer more of herself to Roseluck's debilitating ministrations.

"Aahn..." Roseluck groaned audibly when she felt Rarity pressing deeper into her coat, grinding against her belly with each movement that they made. Rarity's coat was quickly becoming a sauna under Roseluck, her nipples as hot as coals in her mouth. Roseluck could feel more of her own arousal dripping down her haunches as she let the heat, the sweat, the essence of Rarity's arousal flood her senses.

Finally, she released Rarity's nipples from her grasp, and lowered her gaze to her now thoroughly soaked haunches. The smooth pink lips of her marehood were nearly glowing with arousal, and stood out beautifully against Rarity's soft white fur. The silky, musky scent of the unicorn's arousal flooded Roseluck's nose, tempting her like a pot of honey to a hungry bee. But the most delectable treats are worth savoring.

After staring for a moment more, she slowly lowered her muzzle to brush gently across the inside of Rarity's left hind leg. The contact was brief and feather-light, like a mother nuzzling her foal; yet it felt like pure bliss rang through every fiber of Roseluck's body.

Roseluck repeated the motion, this time letting her muzzle brush further up Rarity's leg. Taking a small page from their previous encounter, Roseluck returned Rarity's first debilitating technique by placing a small, gentle kiss on the back of the unicorn's knee. Rarity's leg twitched immediately in response, and a soft hum escaped her lips. Good to know I'm not the only pony that enjoys that, Roseluck thought.

She continued her way slowly up Rarity's thigh, the unicorn's skin growing softer and hotter against her lips with each heated kiss. Roseluck placed a hoof against Rarity's leg to spread it further before planting a deep kiss into the crease of her thigh. She turned quickly to her other thigh and repeated the motion, using her free hoof to massage the soft fur around the unicorn's haunches.

"Oh stars, Rose, you're so good... K– Mmhm! Keep going!" Roseluck was returning the teasing just as Rarity had done to her the previous night... And Rarity was responding in a similar manner, quickly melting into a whimpering mess, her body screaming for more.

Needing no more encouragement, Roseluck followed that kiss with three more, each one probing closer and closer to Rarity's soaked lips, each one drawing another heated moan from the unicorn. She landed one more kiss at the very top of her outer lips, and when Roseluck moved next, she was exactly where she had been the previous night - a mere breath away from the very center of a mare that she had only even dreamed of touching.

At this rate, this could be over in a matter of minutes. Roseluck smiled inwardly as she looked hungrily at Rarity's glistening slit. But my dreams didn't end here. Slowly, she raised her head, and began to shuffle backward, allowing her forelegs to slip off the table and back onto the floor.

"R– Rose... don't stop, please..." Rarity whined desperately. She gave an almost pleading look to Roseluck, as if the florist held her fate in her hooves.

"You said you wanted to know what my dreams were like, right?"

"Yes..." Rarity replied meekly, her voice barely able to break through her ragged panting.

"Well then," Roseluck replied, flashing a devious grin as she brushed the edge of Rarity's slit with the tip of a hoof, "If you want to know what happened next, you'll need to follow me."

With that, Roseluck turned around and began making her way towards the stage, her hips and tail moving again in time with her steps. A creak from the sewing machine and the shuffling of hooves told her that Rarity was following... A thought that was confirmed when she stopped to grab the loose cushions off the couch, and felt Rarity's smooth lips land right on her cutie mark. Her legs nearly buckled as the unexpected shot of fire ran through her nerves.

She gasped audibly as Rarity placed another kiss onto the rose that adorned her flank, this time using a hoof to massage her other flank at the same time. "Ohh yes..." Roseluck moaned as shivers raced up and down her spine in rapid succession as Rarity continued to kiss and tease her cutie marks. Her tail swished back and forth rapidly as she whimpered and moaned; the long red and pink strands snapped gently against Rarity's shoulder, as if she were spurring her to continue.

Rarity finally released her grip, and Roseluck nearly collapsed into a panting mess on the couch. "Oh wow... Wh– What was that for?"

"Just a bit of improvisation," Rarity answered with a sly wink. She raised a hoof and ran it through Roseluck's tail, sending another shiver up her back. "Moments of inspiration happen at random, but they can lead to wonderful results if you follow them."

"So, you find my flank to be inspiring then?" Roseluck replied cheekily, wiggling her rump for good measure. "If you ever get stumped on the Fall line too, I'll just swing by and stand in front of you all day."

Rarity was unable to suppress a hearty laugh, and Roseluck soon followed suit. As beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, Roseluck thought as she basked in the shared moment of laughter and joy. I could wake up next to her for far longer than just tomorrow.

She gazed back at Rarity and her eyes were drawn to her sleek horn, which sat perfectly framed in waves of purple. The deep, perfectly matched grooves and gleaming finish spoke to the level of care that the unicorn gave both to her hooves and to her genetic namesake. A nearly forgotten memory flashed across Roseluck's mind just then; it took a moment to register, but when it did, a wicked grin lit up her face, and she couldn't help licking the corner of her lips with her tongue.

"Switch with me, Rarity."

"Oh?" she asked in reply. "But I thought we were heading to the stage to put this design together?"

"Consider it a moment of improvisation," Roseluck replied as she shifted off the couch. "Like you said, improvisation can be a very good thing."

Rarity smiled heatedly as she slipped in front of Roseluck, dragging her tail against her side for good measure. She laid across the length of the couch, with her head propped up on the hoofrest, and her hind legs spread in invitation. "I must say though, Rose, I hope that my little diversion there didn't break our rhythm. You were doing magnificently, if I may say."

"Oh, not at all," Roseluck answered smoothly as she lowered herself down to the couch, nestling between Rarity's long legs. The heat from Rarity's body washed over her like an ocean tide, and Roseluck could feel her heart speed back up in an instant. "In fact, you gave me a moment of inspiration just now..." She raised herself up a bit, bringing her muzzle up to kiss the tip of Rarity's ear. "...And if I'm right, you'll love the results."

"What did— Ohh!" Rarity's next words turned into a long, deep gasp as Roseluck's lips touched the tender fur around the base of her horn. She could feel Rarity's entire body shudder beneath her she began tracing a circle around the base of Rarity's horn. The horn was a unicorn's most prized possession, but like the wings on a pegasus, it was also the most potent erogenous zone on a unicorn's body.... And Roseluck took full advantage of that fact, moving her lips with an eager but feather-light touch.

"Ro– Rose... Pl... Oh, stars, yes!" Rarity continued to shudder and moan beneath her, like a tuning fork that had just been hit on its edge. Rarity's moans were growing longer and deeper by the second, and her body only grew hotter beneath Roseluck. She could almost feel the blood rushing through the unicorn's veins as she lavished more kisses and licks on the base of her horn.

Another spike of heat hit her belly as Rarity closed her hind legs around her back and began grinding her soaked haunches into Roseluck's stomach. Another idea flashed across her lust-addled mind, and Roseluck hummed lustily as her lips left Rarity's fur. Improvisation indeed.

Roseluck quickly shifted her lower body and planted her left hind leg on the floor in front of the couch; she shifted her weight forward, placing her forelegs on the hoofrest around Rarity's head, while her right hind leg settled into an almost kneeling position on the couch. She stared directly into Rarity's eyes as she spoke in a quiet but lusty tone. "Here, let me help you with that."

She shifted forward as the words left her lips, her mind breaking through the lusty haze to focus her movements. With perfect timing, her tongue wrapped around the base of Rarity's horn at the same moment that her knee pressed directly into her dripping core.

"Oh! Yes!" Rarity screamed out in ecstasy as twin waves of pleasure rocketed through her body; only Roseluck's presence on top of her kept Rarity from flying off the couch as she arched her back high into the air.

Rarity's cries of pleasure were music to Roseluck's ears as she continued her two-pronged assault on the unicorn's body. She turned her head and dragged her tongue up every side of Rarity's horn that she could reach, all the while grinding her knee into the unicorn's drenched slit. "Rose! Don– Aahn! Don't stop!"

She quickly fell into a rhythm with Rarity, moving her knee down each time she felt Rarity's haunches move up against her. Her tongue was no less efficient, twirling and twisting around Rarity's horn in smooth, constant motion. Blocking all other senses from her mind, Roseluck poured every bit of focus she could find into her twin acts of pleasure, driving more pleasured cries from Rarity's mouth with every move that she made.

Finally, Roseluck felt a small buzzing inside her mouth, as if Rarity's horn were vibrating by itself. The buzzing began to grow stronger by the second, every twirl of her tongue seeming to accelerate it that much more. Out the corner of her eye, she saw a faint blue glow begin to form at the base of Rarity's horn. So it is true...

Roseluck's suspicions were confirmed instantly as Rarity seemed to lose all sense of self-control, arching her back into Roseluck even higher than before as the glow of her magic enveloped the base of her horn. "Rose! I– I'm so close! O– Ohh yes!"

And now, the final piece to tie it all together...

She threw her weight forward, driving her knee as deep into Rarity's soaked flesh as she could, and with a final turn of her head, Roseluck took Rarity's horn directly into her mouth and began sucking on it like a lollipop. Rarity's cries of pleasure turned primal and desperate instantly, as the buzz of her magic reverberated through every inch of Roseluck's body.

"Rose! I'm going to cum– Faster, yes, faster!"

Roseluck slid Rarity's horn deeper into her mouth, nearly taking it all before she felt it hit the back of her throat. She ran her tongue down to the horn's base, and in one final, synchronized motion, she brought her tongue back up through every inch of the horn's natural groove while planting her knee directly against Rarity's exposed clitoris.

"AAHN! YES!" A primal, unfiltered scream split the air like a lightning bolt as a massive orgasm tore through Rarity. Roseluck moaned deeply as she felt Rarity's magic explode into her, filling her insides with an ethereal electricity that defied description. She could feel wave after wave of Rarity's cum flowing over her leg as the unicorn continued to shamelessly grind her pulsing core against her leg.

Rarity grabbed desperately for Roseluck as the tidal waves of her orgasm finally began to recede. "Ro– Rose, take me. Now. Please!" Roseluck grinned deviously as she finally released Rarity's horn from her mouth with a faint pop from her lips. "Lucky for you, I'd like this to be interactive as well."

She leaned up on her hooves and quickly turned herself around before laying back on the couch, settling her muzzle inches from Rarity's marehood. Roseluck quickly flicked her long tail up and to the side, presenting her own swollen lips to Rarity.

"Now, let's finish this ensemble the way we started – together."

Both mares reacted at once, burying their muzzles deep into each other's flesh without hesitation. Roseluck's tongue dove immediately into Rarity's soaked pussy, greedily lapping up every drop of delicious cum from her still pulsating slit. Rarity's renewed cries of pleasure mingled with her own as the unicorn's tongue smoothly lapped at Roseluck's pussy, darting in and out of her outer lips seemingly at random.

Roseluck used her hooves to spread Rarity's haunches open even more, and her tongue dove in with reckless abandon. "Yes! More, Rose, more!" Rarity cried out as Roseluck's tongue parted her inner lips and drove directly inside of her, eagerly massaging her inner walls.

"Don– Don't stop Rarity! Aahn... Oh yes!" Roseluck let out a pleasured cry of her own as Rarity drove her tongue deep inside of her pussy, lapping up the waves of her arousal as if it were an oasis in a desert.

As turned on as they both were, the peak rushed up on both of them quickly, and with unstoppable force. Neither mare could have stopped it even if they tried.

"Rar– Rarity, I'm so close! Take me now!"

"Oh, stars! Flick my clit, Rose!"

A final, desperate lunge of two tongues sent both mares over the edge; the entire boutique – and perhaps half of Ponyville – was filled with an erotic duet as they both screamed in ecstasy. They shuddered helplessly against each other as earth-shattering orgasms tore through both of them, leaving them unable to speak, and barely able to breathe.

After what felt like hours, they finally came down from their shared orgasm, slowly regaining the ability to form coherent thoughts and words.

"Rose, that... That was amazing!" Rarity panted.

"I– Ohh... I could say the same about you," Roseluck replied as she too tried to catch her breath.

"But where did you learn to do that with a horn?" Rarity asked cheekily. "Poets could write sonnets about that alone."

"Oh, that?" Roseluck answered as demurely as possible. "Oh, it's nothing special. Just a few tricks I picked up from a library book a while back."

Rarity's eyes went wide in shock. "Whoa, wait. You mean the Ponyville library? Twilight's library?" Roseluck nodded her head in affirmation, and Rarity's jaw nearly fell wide open. "That sneaky mare! All the times I and the girls have been in there, and never once did she mention anything about books like that."

"Oh, they've been there the whole time," Roseluck replied with a sly grin as she slipped off of Rarity and began to stand up from the couch. "You just need to know how to get access to them."

"Access them?" Rarity answered as she began to sit up. "What, is there a secret password? A magic lock on a bookshelf?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you," Roseluck said as she offered Rarity a hoof up from the now thoroughly stained couch. "But I'll tell you while we take a shower."

Rarity looked Roseluck over before inspecting herself. Both of them were covered in sweat and cum, their manes and tails frayed seemingly beyond help. "Tell you what," Rarity said with a wink. "I'll work on salvaging our manes and coats, while you tell me what else our town librarian is hiding amongst the shelves."

"Sounds like a fair trade to me," Roseluck replied with a warm smile. She gently nuzzled Rarity for a moment before giving her one more deep kiss on the lips. "Lead the way."

Thirty minutes and two orgasms later, Roseluck and Rarity emerged from the bathroom, coats and manes clean and restored. Rarity's horn glowed gently as she turned down the comforter and the sheets, and put the damp bath towels in the nearby hamper. Roseluck returned a moment later from the lower level with a small vase balanced on her back. In the vase were four roses, all of them in full bloom – one deep purple, one white, one crimson red, and one light yellow.

"These are beautiful, Rose! Thank you!" Rarity said as she grabbed the vase in her magic and placed it lovingly on the nightstand. "You didn't have to, you know."

"Oh, but I did," Roseluck replied as she grabbed the unicorn into a warm embrace. "To celebrate our wonderful collaboration on your Spring line..." she shifted her head to place a gentle kiss onto Rarity's cheek, "...And to let you know that I'd like this partnership to continue... In more ways than one."

Rarity's breath hitched in her throat for a moment as she regarded Roseluck with warm, searching eyes. Slowly, she let go of their embrace and padded over to the bed, motioning for Roseluck to follow. Roseluck walked around the other side of the bed and slipped under the covers, falling slowly into Rarity's outstretched hooves until they lay chest-to-chest.

"I would like that very, very much," Rarity whispered into Roseluck's ear. "Though we've certainly skipped the 'getting to know you' stage at this point. Where would we go back and start from?"

"We'll know, trust me." Roseluck leaned over and pecked Rarity on the lips. "Remember, all it takes is a little nudge."
