These Feelings

After Celestia had set the sun that day….

Rags skipped around the castle. Her dark red mane flew behind her ears, and an adorable smile covered her face. The castle staff looked at her with confusion. She had never looked so happy.

Rags was normally a little gloomy, often seen fixing servant attire with old fabric scraps, when not assigned something to do that day. It made sense for her to be in charge in sewing clothes back together, because her cutie mark was a stitched fabric swatch with a heart in the middle (And her name is Rags for Celestia’s sake).

Rags skipped up the spiral staircase to the bedrooms of the royalty. The first room was Blueblood’s, so she knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” Blueblood asked from inside the bedroom.

“Um, it’s me, Rags.”

Blueblood’s heart skipped a beat. He had been reading a book ever since he’d gotten back upstairs from this evening’s dinner. He placed down the book on a dresser and walked over to the door.

He opened the door and saw Rags standing there. He gawked slightly, his mouth hanged open and eyes stared for a few moments.

“Um… Prince Blueblood?” Rags said, waving a hoof in Blueblood’s face.

Blueblood broke out of his trance and cleared his throat. “What did you want, Rags?”

Rags frowned.  “You don’t need to act like that. I know that you have feelings for me.” This caused Blueblood to blush. Rags giggled. She smiled up at him and placed a hoof on his shoulder. “I like you too.”

Blueblood smiled back and kissed Rags on the lips. Rags was surprised, but kissed him back.

Discord and Luna were having a conversation as they walked past the other royal bedrooms.

Suddenly, Luna put her hoof up to stop Discord from talking. Pointing her hoof, she said, “Discord, look!” She was pointing to the two unicorns that were kissing.

“We should walk past them slowly… And bring it up tomorrow.” Discord whispered.

“Good idea.” Luna responded.

Suddenly, Blueblood pulled Rags into the bedroom, causing the draconequus and the alicorn to crack up.

“Betcha I can tell Tia first!” Discord yelled childishly.

Luna ran after him, almost tripping over her own hooves.

By the time she got down the spiral staircase, she saw Discord talking to Celestia, who was looking particularly annoyed.

“...then Blueblood pulled her into his room.” Discord said.

Celestia rolled her eyes. “Discord, I don’t really care at the moment. Yes, yes, that is… nice for Blueblood, but it’s not that important. If I was a newspaper writer, than I would be more interested.”

Discord pouted. “Don’t be surprised if either Luna or I bring it up tomorrow at breakfast.”

Celestia sighed. She felt like one of the only one in the castle that was an adult.
