A Loving Discovery

Rainbow Dash's wings were frozen open as she stared in amazement at the thing that Twilight wanted to show her.

Earlier that day...

"Dash you'll never guess what kind of spell I learned!" Twilight said excitedly as she ran into Sugarcube Corner.

"Will it help with the thing we talked about yesterday?" Dash asked quietly with a red tint on her cheeks.

"Well... no," Twilight said as she watched Rainbow frown down at the ground, "but it's still something amazing."

Dash looked up and smiled, "I bet it will be." Dash said as a little of her cockiness returned.

Twilight blushed and motioned for Dash to follow her.

"I wanna see it too!" Pinkie said excitedly from the kitchen. She almost materialized in front of the two mares and hugged them. "Please Twilight, can I come too?" Pinkie asked with a giant smile.

"I'm sorry Pinkie but this is for me and Dash only," Twilight noticed the impact of what she said instantly, "but tell you what. Come by tomorrow and I'll have something extra special for you too." she said warmly.

Pinkie brightened up, "Okay see you tomorrow then!"

Twilight and Rainbow Dash walked down the street to the library. As they approached the door Twilight decided to apologize to Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Dash," Rainbow looked her in the eyes, "I'm sorry for being so distant this week." she said quietly.

"It's okay Twilight, I know that when you're studying something I won't see much of you."

"And that's unfair to you." Twilight added.

Dash leaned in and kissed Twilight, "A little, but that's who you are. When you start studying something you don't stop. Just like how when I think of a new trick I don't stop until I can do it."

Twilight opened the door and excorted Dash to the stairwell to the basement.

"Why are we going down there?" Dash asked.

"This spell is for you and you alone. I've spent a few days getting everything set up and now that it's ready, I don't want anypony else to see it." Twilight said with a wink.

Dash shrugged and walked down the stairs into the darkness. Soon path ahead was lit up by Twilight's horn. As they reached the bottem Twilight began speaking.

"As you know last week I was star gazing in an atempt to discover new planets and stars."

"Yeah and?" Dash asked as she looked around at all the egghead writing on all the dimly lit blackboards.

"And so eventually I did, and as luck would have it it's pretty close to our solar system." Twilight said with a smile.

"Okay? That's great and all but..."

"After finding it, I started searching for spells that would allow me to create a stable portal so I could see it." Twilight continued unfazed.

Dash just sat down and sighed, 'Great another lecture I don't need, and this time I didn't even do anything wrong!'

"That took me a whole week, but I finally did it. As I looked out onto this new system I could help but notice something special about the star and two planets of it."

"And what would that be professor?" Dash asked.

Twilight's horn glowed brighter and brighter. A swirling vortex of magic began spinning in front of the two mares and soon it began to fluxuate rapidly. Suddenly there was a flash of purple light that caused Dash to shield her eyes. When she brought her hoof down from her eyes she became frozen in amazement.

Now...

"Wow." Dash whispered.

"I know right? There is no other star in the known universe that does it." Twilight whispered.

The two mares stared out into the vacuum of space at a star that flashed through every color of the rainbow every second.

"I named the system RD-103. Notice the planets?"

Dash glanced at the planets and saw that one was purple, and the other was magenta and darker purple.

"I named them TS1 and TS2."

"This... this is AMAZING!" Dash exclaimed.

"I came up with the names because... well... you're the star of my solar system." Twilight said as she kissed Dash's cheek.
