Twilight and Rainbow headed to the local park where they had planned a picnic with cupcakes and cider. Not the most nutritious meal out there, but hey, you only get one chance at life right? Might as well live it. Even if Twilight was immortal and all. They arrived at the park and put down a blanket out of their basket and spread it out on the ground. They put the basket down and Twilight, using her magic, took the contents out which included the bottle of cider, and vase with a flower. Rainbow didn't quite get why Twilight brought a flower but decided to not question it. Twilight then put down the box of cupcakes and sat down. Rainbow sat down next to her and opened the box and got a cupcake for Twilight and herself.

"Thanks Rainbow." Twilight smiled and lifted her cupcake to her mouth and took a bite. As she did this, Rainbow Dash looked at her, noticing the frosting on her lips and starting thinking how nice it would be to lick it off. Twilight looked at her and tilted her head. "Is something wrong?"

Rainbow shook her head. "N-nope. Nothing at all!" She started sweating a bit and hoped she didn't ask why she was staring. Twilight simply started eating at her cupcake again. Rainbow couldn't help it that Twilight was so damn hot. Seriously. And her flank! No. She had to stop, otherwise she would get a wingboner. "So Twi, how about we open that bottle of cider?" To be honest, Rainbow was eager to have some of the apples' famous cider. It was the best in Ponyville. Nononono. It was the best in all of Equestria!

"Sure. Why not?" Twilight giggled a little. She knew how much Rainbow Dash loved apple cider. She opened the bottle and poured a glass for both her and Rainbow in the glasses she had in the basket. Twilight lifted the glass to her lips and drank some of it. Rainbow found herself a bit preoccupied watching some of the cider falling down her lip on to her chin and found herself blushing a bit so she picked up her glass and drank some of hers to take her mind off that distracting scene. Perhaps it will dissipate some of the awkwardness she was feeling. It was just as she remembered it. The flavor, the aroma, the texture. It made her shudder a little at how good it was. Rainbow wondered if she was a cider addict, but quickly pushed it out of her mind.

12 cupcakes and a bottle of cider later, Rainbow and Twilight were full and content and simply gazed up at the stars. Twilight told Rainbow about the various constellations in the night sky. Rainbow didn't care much for constellations, but she loved how eager Twilight was to teach the cyan pegasus about them. She loved the egghead for stuff like this. It was adorable. Honestly, Rainbow Dash was content with watching Twilight like this. It was one of the things that made her who she was. "Twilight?" Rainbow called affectionately.

"Yes?" Twilight loved the way Rainbow called her name. Her voice made her shudder a bit. Something about it just... No one else could make her feel that way. No one. Rainbow seemed to stare into Twilight's eyes as she drifted off before she finally spoke.

"I'm glad you asked me out yesterday. I was really surprised." Rainbow stared into Twilight's eyes and felt paralyzed by how beautiful they were. In Rainbow's eyes, no one could match Twilight in terms of beauty. But it wasn't just her appearance, it was the way she laughed that made Rainbow's heart skip a beat, it was her passion for the things she enjoyed that she admired, the way Twilight put all her effort into something that made Rainbow try harder in everything she did. Rainbow loved Twilight, that much she couldn't ignore.

"So am I." Twilight blushed and looked back into Rainbow's eyes. Twilight felt at a loss for words but didn't care much. Just being here in this moment was the greatest moment of her life. After a few minutes passed she realized she had been staring and turned away; blushing furiously, she tried to come up with an excuse but only came up with random noises and groans. Rainbow started laughing with made Twilight pout cutely. Then again, Rainbow found Twilight cute no matter what so... whatever.
"Hey Twi?" Rainbow called out the purple alicorn.

"Y-yes?" Twilight asked nervously.

"Why are you so damn beautiful?" Rainbow asked the now crimson mare. Twilight was caught between nervousness and elation at being called such a word. However there was no way. There was no way she could possibly be... beautiful. No way in hell. It was Rainbow Dash that was beautiful. She could never be as awesome as the cyan mare, she thought to herself.

"I-I'm not beautiful! Y-you a-are!" Twilight quickly put her hoof over her muzzle. She didn't mean to be quite so straightforward like she just was. It was an accident! Although it was true. Her heartbeat sounded so loud that one could hear it for quite a distance. Or so she thought. She felt so embarrassed to have said that out loud, but there was no going back now.

"Oh really?" Rainbow smirked. "Then why do you make me so damn sappy huh?" Twilight pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Uhm I uhm... You had too much cider?" Twilight didn't sound very convincing, even to herself. She knew it wouldn't fool Rainbow Dash. Not even a little. Rainbow wasn't book smart like her, but she could see how unconvincing she sounded. Hell, anyone could.

"Twilight." Rainbow looked at Twilight with the best poker face she could muster. "Me? Too much cider after one fucking bottle? No. I would have to hide in shame if I was a lightweight like you." At this point Rainbow was trying not to laugh her ass off at how hard Twilight was trying to convince the both of them that in no way could Rainbow be right about Twilight being beautiful. "I could always... convince you that I'm right." Rainbow gave Twilight the best seductive look she possibly could. This made Twilight blush even more. Rainbow decided to tease Twilight a bit. "How would you like to... taste the rainbow?" Twilight started backing up a bit while Rainbow stared her down like lioness cornering a wounded gazelle. Just then, Rainbow noticed Twilight was about to fall into a water fountain. "Twilight! Watch where you're going!" She tried to warn her in time, but it was too late. Twilight fell into the fountain. "Hey Twi. You oka-..." Rainbow stopped in her tracks as she looked at Twilight, completely soaked from head to toe. "Holy shit!" Rainbow grabbed her nose as it started bleeding. This was the hottest thing she had ever seen! "Dear Celestia this is hot!" Rainbow couldn't contain her excitement. As she looked at Twilight, her mane, tail and wings dripping wet, she felt her wings stand at attention with a 'pomf' sound. "Fuck." She tried hard to get them back down, and with a bit of effort, she succeeded. "Are you ok Twilight?" Rainbow reached out her hoof to pull her up while trying not to pin her to the ground and have her way with Twilight right there.

"Yes. I'm fine." Twilight shook herself off in an attempt to dry off. Which only served to make her look sexier. She looked at Rainbow who was having a nosebleed. "Oh my Celestia! Are you ok Rainbow Dash?!" Rainbow simply nodded her head. Twilight searched frantically looking for a napkin or something to help her. She couldn't find anything however. That is, until a certain yellow pegasus trotted by who happened to be carrying a basket full of them. "Well, how convenient." Twilight said. "It's almost as if she were put here in this exact moment on purpose."

Meanwhile, back at Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie got the strange feeling someone was breaking the fourth wall without her.

Back at the park with Twilight breaking the fourth wall.

Fluttershy noticed Twilight and Rainbow Dash, and decided to say hi. "H-hello Twilight, hello Dashie."

Twilight trotted up to Fluttershy with a smile. "Hello Fluttershy, how are you?"

Fluttershy smiled shyly. "I-i'm doing good today. W-what are you and Rainbow Dash up to, if y-you don't mind me asking."

Twilight didn't like the fact that Fluttershy was still shy around her, but it couldn't be helped I suppose. "I'm actually on a date with Rainbow right now." Twilight had forgotten the fact that she hadn't told Fluttershy in advance about the two of them going on a date, but it was irrelevant at this point. Now she had to brace herself for Fluttershy's reaction.

"Oh my. That sounds lovely Twilight." Fluttershy smiled from ear to ear.

So you don't have an issue with me dating a mare?" Twilight was happy, but a bit surprised.

"Not at all Twilight." Fluttershy exclaimed. "I like mares too so I don't see why it would be an issue." Fluttershy giggled a bit at Twilight's reaction. It was at that moment that Twilight remembered the fact that Rainbow Dash had a bloody nose. Fuck. She needed to pay attention better at times like these.

Oh, Fluttershy! I happened to notice that you have napkins in your basket. May I use a few of them? Rainbow has a bloody nose. Although I'm not sure how that happened." Twilight was so damn oblivious sometimes it hurt.

"Of course you can Twilight. I always carry one with me just in case." Fluttershy gave Twilight a few napkins out of the basket and Twilight handed it to Rainbow Dash. She looked at Rainbow and tilted her head slightly. "How did your nose start bleeding in the first place Rainbow Dash?" Rainbow waved her hoof dismissively.

"Oh you know, stuff happened and my nose just started bleeding. Weird huh?" Rainbow tried to seem as if nothing happened. It seemed to work at least.

"Alright Rainbow. Well I've got to go feed Angel. You know how he can be when he gets hungry." Rainbow had a flashback of when Angel almost ate her. She shuddered.

"Yeah, I do. Never. Again." Rainbow never looked at that bunny the same way again. As Fluttershy left, Twilight and Rainbow waved to her. "That went better than expected. I always thought Fluttershy was straight. I guess we learn new things every day."

Twilight nodded in agreement.

An hour went by and it was time for the two to go home. Twilight was quite happy with how the date went. Rainbow couldn't get the image of Twilight getting soaked out of her mind, but she was happy nonetheless. The two had reached Twilight's castle and Twilight was about to go inside when she stopped. She turned to Rainbow Dash who looked at her.

"Uhm... Rainbow?" Twilight was nervous. She was preparing herself for what came next.

"Yeah Twilight?" Rainbow was slightly tired and was ready to go home. All at once, she found herself with Twilight's hooves around her neck and Twilight's lips pressed firmly against hers. Rainbow was shocked at first because Twilight was never this assertive about these kinds of things, but she simply kissed her back. Kissing turned into making out as Rainbow Dash stuck her tongue inside Twilight's mouth and wrapped itself around Twilight's tongue. Twilight went along with her and they simply basked in the warmth of each others tongues. Twilight moaned slightly and went further into the kiss. Rainbow pulled away only to bite Twilight's lip which Twilight thoroughly enjoyed Twilight kissed Rainbow's neck in response while Rainbow glided her hoof along Twilight's wings, causing Twilight to moan. As they started to get into the heat of the moment, Spike suddenly opened the door due to noticing that Twilight was back.

"Oh hey Twilight! How was your da--..." Spike saw what was going and started blushing. "Oh u-uhm n-nevermind. I'll be going back inside now!" He slammed the door shut. Damn. Now the mood was ruined.

"Sorry Rainbow." Twilight was blushing deeply.

"It's cool Twi." Rainbow tried to hide her embarrassment. "I'll just see you tomorrow." Just as she was about to leave, Twilight stopped her.

"Uhm, Rainbow Dash?" Twilight looked at the ground.

"Yeah, Twi?" Rainbow Dash looked at her still blushing.

"I love you." Twilight cantered in the house and shut the door.

"I love you too Twilight." Rainbow Dash flew away as happy as she could ever be. She officially had a marefriend!

Author's Note

Rainbow Dash couldn't get wet mane Twilight out of her head that night. And had to remind herself to get back at Spike.
