To Love a Princess

Rainbow was still in Twilight's bed, but now dreamily staring at the alicorn that looked like that she would fall over any minute now.

"Hey, Twi? Can I ask you a question?"

"I am not Twilight."

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you ARE."

"I am not Princess Twilight Sparkle."

"Fine, then. NOT Twilight. If you aren't Twilight, then who am I in love with?" She teased the alicorn.

"I am not Twilight."

"Then say who you are."

"I am Princess Luna, and I have been watching you Rainbow Dash." The purple alicorn slowly turned into a blue one.

"Princess... Princess L-Luna? Bu-But... Twilight... Sh-She doesn't love me?" The pegasus weeped at Princess Luna, who was now laying down next to the pegasus on the bed. "Is this all a dream? Or alicorn magic? Wh-Why? I thought you were sick..."

"Are you listening, Rainbow Dash?" She said her full name, still keeping some of the olden time accent in her voice. "Because if you want to know everything, you have to listen."

"I-I will... But what are you going to tell me? That this was all a lie?" She pouted at her.

"Listen." Luna said with a glare. "I never was sick, in fact, my Sister knew that too. It was a trick to get Twilight to stay at the castle for a few days. Sense getting her a private tower, didn't make her stay for a while." She groaned in laziness at the pegasus, not caring that she was a Princess and had to use proper posture.

"So, we brought her here, saying I was sick, and Princess Celestia, would have to take care of me. Princesses are immortal, they don't get sick." Luna snorted, while Rainbow just pouted more.

Does this mean.... If she ever will be my special some-pony... We won't grow old together?

"Why did you need her to come here?"

"Because of you, Rainbow Dash. You are a threat."

"A threat?" She said with utter fear. "How.. How am I a threat?"

"Because you love her."

"That doesn't make me a threat!"

"Yes, it does. It means you would do anything for Twilight to like you, even if only a tiny bit. And Princesses, they cannot date." She quietly spoke to the pegasus, who was crying on the pillow now. "Princess Celestia asked me to make this dream world for you, Dash. Because you will be here a while."

"A WHILE?! No, no, no, no! And what about Candance? Shouldn't you be doing the same for Shining Armor!?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because, their love formed protection for the Crystal Empire. So, she allowed it. But this... It would break the link that made you all the Main 6, because you would no longer be friends."

"Rainbow!" Twilight squealed as she ran over to the pegasus who just came off the train.

"Hey, gurl!"

When has Rainbow ever called me "gurl"?

"Right... Umm... So how is Ponyville? How is Spike?"

"He's fine.... " She stated as she looked down at her hoof that had a bunch of scribbles on it.

Curiously, Twilight leaned in. "Why do you have writing on your hoof?"

"Uhh.... My to-do list!" She said happily, sounding like she was satisfied with her answer.

But Dash never makes to-do lists!
