By the time Rarity had recovered from her momentary lapse of consciousness, she was seated at the dinner table with a hot of mug of coffee nursed between her hooves while she stared at the downcast expression of the rainbow coloured mare opposite her.

For the past half an hour she watched Rainbow Dash slip in between a barrage of emotions that tugged at the fashionista’s heartstrings.

From the happiness when Rainbow Dash fully realized her emotions towards Fluttershy and her sexuality when they just little fillies, to the then-realization that Fluttershy openly admitted to Rainbow Dash many, many years ago, that she was very much into stallions and not mares, thus crushing the cyan Pegasus’s dream of them ever having a relationship.

“I was happy you know…” Rainbow explained through a choked sob. “When she told me she wasn’t into mares. I kind of… had… you know? That feeling you get when it’s never going to happen?”

“Closure.” Rarity intoned softly, struggling to keep her own tears in check at the distraught nature of Rainbow Dash, who often hid her softer side from her friends as to not look so ‘mushy,’ so seeing Rainbow Dash spill out her soul was almost too much for Rarity to bare.

“Yeah… that…” Dropping her eyes to her hooves that were upon the kitchen table, Rainbow Dash stared at them for quite a bit of time before speaking again. “I… I was happy, you know? Knowing that I’d never have a chance with her… but then… why? Is it me? Am I not good enough?”

Rainbow Dash broke into tears, sobbing into her hooves.

Never once in her entire life had Rarity seen Rainbow Dash so awkward and never once had she seen the mare cry as much as she did now. However, Rarity knew full well with the true source of those tears and it was caused by the scene that was unfortunately witnessed by the mare barely twenty-four hours ago.

It was something Rarity knew she could not correct or change, but she could at least try and comfort Rainbow Dash, feeling it was her duty as a friend to try and quell that sorrow from a mare she often considered a rather strong, somewhat emotionally reclusive character.

Swallowing hard, Rarity reached out to place a hoof atop of Rainbow Dash’s head as she sobbed into her arms.

“Rainbow Dash, I… can’t possibly fathom what it is you are going through right now and I know… I know this is a bit of a shock, but maybe Fluttershy was always into mares and she only just discovered it fairly recently?”

Sniffing, Rainbow Dash forced a rather sardonic smile across her lips as she lifted her muzzle from her tear stained forelegs.

“Yeah… no kidding…” Rainbow Dash’s smile fell oddly sour. “And with Applejack, of all ponies… who needs enemies when you got friends like that.”

Rarity shook her head, simply aghast at what she just heard. “Rainbow Dash! Don’t say such things! I am almost one hundred percent sure Applejack had no idea of your feelings towards Fluttershy, so don’t insinuate for a second or even think Applejack would do that to hurt you! Applejack would never do such a thing even if she did know your feelings for Fluttershy.”

Rainbow Dash’s bottom lip quivered as she clenched her eyelids shut. “I just… I’m… It’s just seeing them two like that just really hurts and…” With every type of emotion struggling to consume her features, Rainbow Dash slammed her hooves down onto the table hard.

“It’s just isn't fair!” Rainbow Dash angrily snapped. “Why her?! Is it because she’s some big, strong earth pony? Is it her hair? The way she wears it in that stupid braid or her stupid hat? Or maybe it’s because she’s got that really strange accent? Am I too tomboyish? Am I not girly enough?”

Rarity stood to her hooves, panic settling in as she rounded the table to go and comfort her friend with an embrace. “Rainbow Dash, please, listen to yourself… this isn’t like you at all. It isn’t nice to say such things about a pony that is your friend. I’m sorry that your feelings are not returned by Fluttershy, but can’t you just be happy for them?”

Rainbow Dash pushed Rarity back to break the embrace, stunning the fashionista as equally as that fierce glare she was given by one she would call a close friend.

“Happy for them?” Rainbow Dash spat harshly as she stood up from the chair, practically glowering at Rarity even if she still shed tears. “How can I be happy for them when Applejack is off bucking the mare I love? Would you like it if Twilight Sparkle was off bucking someone you loved?”

Returning the glare and its ferocity, Rarity stomped a hoof down onto the ground. “Rainbow Dash, you are being overly dramatic about this situation and clearly you not thinking straight! I understand you are very upset about this but you simply cannot act this way. Twilight would never do such a thing knowingly and you know that! How could you say such a thing? You just need to calm down before you say something you will regre—”

“Calm down?!” Interrupted Rainbow Dash. “But I love her! It just isn’t fair! Why can’t she love me? I’m quicker than Applejack; I can fly too! I’m definitely more awesome than her and I’m way more than twenty percent cooler than she’d ever be, so why would Fluttershy go and do that with her?!”

“I never thought you were this childish, Rainbow Dash, to not notice that maybe, just maybe Fluttershy has fallen in love with Applejack!” Rarity pointed a hoof to do the door, “I will not talk to you when you are this dramatic. You are saying some very hurtful things and I can only thank Celestia that none of our friends are here to listen to your backstabbing comments. We’re all friends! You cannot simply say these things about ponies like that! I want you to leave and come back when you have cooled off so we can talk this over like civilized ponies.”

“Y-you’re taking her side?” Rainbow Dash gawked for a moment, but quickly took the hint and trotted for the door. “FINE! I can see exactly where your loyalty lies! How dare you call me disloyal! At least I am not the one turning their back on their friend!”

Rarity felt a sadness well up as the hurtful words fully sunk in, causing Rarity’s voice to choke. “Rainbow Dash, I’m not taking sides! I am simply trying to mediate this before you blow it out of proportion. I know you are hurt, but you have to take into consideration their feelings.”

“What about my feelings?!”

“Rainbow Dash, please… just calm down. I can’t know what it is you are going through but you just have to accept that Fluttershy and Applejack might be in love!”

Rainbow Dash trotted straight out of the kitchen and straight out of the Carousel Boutique without another word, huffing angrily through her nostrils.

“Rainbow, please don’t do anything you are going to regret! Rainbow?!” Rarity called out, giving chase, but by the time she had come to the open front door, Rainbow Dash was already gone from view.

Releasing a heavy sigh, Rarity lowered her head. “What have I done? I think I said too much.”

Twilight Sparkle stirred under the covers of her bed as she giggled mischievously, her hooves running across the sleek slender body below her, making a pointed note to run her tongue up and down the length of the spine several times to get a taste of her lover.

With a fore hoof firmly between her legs, rubbing in slow circular motions upon her throbbing clitoris, Twilight Sparkle moaned and drooled as she sucked in the musky scent of her own sexual juices that flooded her senses, before exhaling in a long and pleasant sigh that drew out sultry words of seduction.

“I have waited weeks for you and I can’t wait any more…” Twilight Sparkle opened the large tome, turning to the first page with an excited tremble, her vagina excreting copious amounts of fluid to lubricate her hoof’s insertion into her own body. “I must know what is inside of you. I need to smell you… feel you...”

As she turned to the second page of the tome, Twilight’s horn sparked into a dull glow to allow her to best read the hoofwritten words of the greatest of unicorns that ever lived.

“Ughhhh… Starswirl the Bearded’s own private journal, all mine to read as much as I want…” Licking her lips, she thrust her muzzle against the first page and drew in that wondrous scent that only books could ever provide to get Twilight Sparkle off.

“Well,” Twilight groaned as she slipped her hoof deeper inside of marehood, “not that you have a choice in the matter… because I am going to read you from cover to—mmmmmmm, cover… word, for—urhhhhgnnn~every bucking wor—”

“Uh… Twilight?”

Twilight froze, her eyes wide.

“… Spike?”

“Um… what are you doing?”

“Oh…” Twilight removed her hoof from inside of her and quickly planted her flank down onto the bed, just as she used her magic to whisk away the bed sheet that fortunately covered her entire body.

“Reading… that’s all.”

“Your face!” Spike exclaimed with worry.

“My face?” Twilight lifted her still drenched hoof up to touch at her cheeks, accidentally smearing her own juices all over her muzzle as she attempted to detect what it was that was causing Spike to look so worried.

“Your face is red! Do you have some kind of fever? Maybe I should go get Nurse Redheart or something and… and why is your hoof wet?” Spike inquired with a blink. “And what’s that smell?”

“Oh—uh... I-I… I was reading and then I—um, to be perfectly honest Spike I was...” Twilight’s raging blush and nervous disposition caused Spike to approach, and fortunately, Twilight quickly formulated a rather ingenious response. “I was doing… girly things!”

“Blech!” Spike recoiled in horror, eyeing the bed and then the book. “Girly things? What kind of girly things?”

Twilight jumped on her opportunity with a very large smile. “Very girly things. Actually, Spike, could you do me a favor and run to the store for me? We’re out of milk.”

Spike nodded. “You don’t have to tell me twice! I can’t stand it when you do girly things…” He shuddered. “Just, please don’t make a mess today and tip more water on the bed sheets… we've gone through four sheets in the last two days because you keep tipping water on it! Maybe put the glass down on the floor this time or something? We don’t have an endless supply of bed sheets you know…”

“Of course,” Twilight nodded, laughing nervously as she avoided eye contact, “I’ll do just that.”

Unfortunately, the spot below her flank was already soaking wet. Not that she would tell Spike that, of course... instead, she silently prayed for Spike’s forgiveness.

For the sheet just like her vagina, was only going to get wetter by the time she had finished indulging in her masturbatory literature.

Author's Note

Sorry it took so long, I will throw up a blog post soon about the reasons behind it's lateness and other fics, but life...

I apologize and I hope you enjoyed this chapter, even if it is kind of a bit overly dramatic throughout most of it.

It was difficult trying to keep Rainbow Dash in character with her being this immensely jealous, so I hope I pulled that off.

So, Twilight has Sophophilia. Suitable, methinks.
