Life is Complicated, Love is More So
Chapter Two
Discoveries

Twilight became aware that she was being watched as she awoke, and given that Lightning was snoring beside her, and her parents weren’t due back till tomorrow, that left only one possibility. While ordinarily this wouldn’t be a problem, she was naked... in bed... with Lightning... who was also naked. She could hear them whispering about it right now, which made her cringe mentally.

“I get that it isn’t a bad thing, but I am the one who found out! I need to tell my parents about this!”

“Oh really? And did you stop to think that she didn’t tell anyone because she thought that they would freak out? Like you are right now?”

“I am not freaking out! I am making a point that someone NEEDS to let mom and dad know about this, and since she hasn’t, I should.”

“Actually you are talking to me about it so that I will agree with you, so you will have justification to do what you are planning, but you aren’t going to get it from me. This is something she needs to do on her own. And you know she will.”

“She trusts our parents... why hasn’t she told them yet?”

Twilight had heard enough. “I haven’t told them, because I’m scared too,” she said as she opened her eyes.

“Oh my god, Twilight... you heard all of that?” Cadance whispered, clearly stricken with guilt.

Twilight nodded, looking at Shining for some sort of sign that he too felt as though he had wronged her, that despite her sexual preference, he still loved his little sister. And she found it immediately.

“Hurry up and get dressed, so I can give you a hug and tell you I don’t care if you are gay, bi, or anything else... you are my little sister. And I will always love you,” Shining said calmly, though Twilight was sure he wiped his eyes to clear away his ‘liquid pride’. “I am a little sad that you didn’t figure that out on your own. Why would you think that I wouldn’t accept you for who you are?”

“That isn’t why, it’s because we didn’t know how you would react,” Lightning said, as she yawned underneath the covers of Twilight’s bed. “I mean, seriously, how well did you react upon finding out that your little sister has sex with another girl?” she asked, as she gave shining a look of incredulity.

Shining looked very sheepish now. “Well you have me there, I suppose it would be for the best if you waited until both of you are ready to tell people. But remember... no matter what, Cadance and I are here for you. Right hon?” he looked towards his future wife, a genuine smile on his face.

Cadance couldn’t believe how well this had gone. Sure, she knew that Shining and Twilight were very close, but she honestly hadn’t expected him to come to terms with it so quickly. Cadance herself had always been open to the idea that Twilight might be a lesbian. Especially since Twilight had never expressed any interest in boys.

But, Shining had never even considered it, and now he was acting as though he had known all along. ‘Oh dear, I think he might be in shock.’ She noticed now that Shining’s hands were shaking, his smile was becoming more and more strained. The look she was giving him was obviously one of concern, as she saw it now mirrored by Twilight, who was still in bed with Lightning.

“Are you alright, BBBFF? You look sort of… strained,” Twilight said, in what was an almost cautious manner.

“Of course I am! Why wouldn’t I be?” Shining said, as he began rocking back and forth slightly.

“Umm Shin-”

“Well you two get dressed, and we will see you downstairs!” Shining hurried to exit the room, as the reality of everything that had happened within the last month began to set in. Cadance was hot on his heels, as he practically flew out of the room, and promptly passed out just outside the door.

Twenty minutes later, Shining had been revived, and Twilight and Lightning were on their way to school. Now, five people knew about their relationship. That meant that, eventually, one of them would slip and tell someone else. The chances were greater, with more people in the know after all. This caused the girls no small amount of discomfort. In hindsight, they probably should have gotten dressed in pajamas before climbing into bed together.

But, what was done, was done. There was no way to take it back now, they could only look forward to whatever awaited them next. On the plus side, they had gotten some insight into how others who care for them would react to them being a couple. On the downside, this also meant they had to figure out how to break the news to their parents, before they were found out without them being the ones to do it.

“Twilight, we forgot our lunch back at your place,” Lightning said as they neared the school. They could see their friends waiting for them.

“Lightning, we need to think about telling people about us,” Twilight said as she turned to look at an incredulous Lightning Dust. “I mean it, we have: Cheerilee, Rarity, Principal Celestia, and now Shining and Cadance. So far, all of them have taken it well, and as long as we don’t immediately spring it on them that we have been sleeping together, we will probably be fine.”

“True, so then does this mean you want to tell them right now?” Lightning asked, as she shifted her backpack and looked at Twilight to see her reaction.

“Well, while that would probably be the best way to get this done, I am still way too nervous to tell them,” Twilight said, as a look of shame crossed her features. And then quickly shifted to a look of stress and panic. “I mean who knows what my parents would do, given the way Shining reacted! They could forbid us from seeing each other, or they could ground me... to the moon! What if they find out that Celestia knows, or that Cheerilee does? They could be fired, or my parents might sue the school! Then the library wouldn’t get those books I requested and--”

“Twilight, calm down! You are way freaking out! First, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Second, yes you are afraid of how they will react, I am too! But this is still something that is a pretty big deal. We will need to tell them eventually. We don’t have to right now, but we will, and we will explain our reasons for not telling them when we do.They are our friends. They won’t hate us for being afraid.
Besides, our friends are hot and we can check 'em out, without them noticing, until we tell them, cause after, it would just weird them out,” Lightning said with a laugh that lightened the mood for Twilight, and made her laugh as well. She could always count on Lightning to be there for her when she needed it. After all, even if their friends didn’t accept them, she still had Lightning.

“Okay, you are right, but I am still going to wait, though. Oh, and don’t forget that Principal Celestia said that we have to watch her son tomorrow, and tonight Spitfire is staying, over so I can tutor her,” Twilight said, with a grin. That should make Lightning happier than she had been in a while. Whenever Spitfire would spend the night, she would wear more revealing clothing than usual, specifically to make Spitfire uncomfortable. Which had made Spitfire retaliate by wearing short cloth shorts (sans panties) and a tank top. The best part was that they all had to share a bed. Lightning was always so hot and bothered after Spitfire would leave, that she would screw Twilight senseless the very next chance she got. Twilight was looking forward to it already.

Wow...I guess she really has had an effect on me, Twilight thought, as she and Lightning approached the school where their friends, and the rest of the day, awaited them. Where Principal Celestia was beckoning them to her. With a serious look on her face. Crap... now what? Both girls knew immediately that whatever this was, it had something to do with their relationship. Celestia only looked at them like that when it did.

As the two of them passed their friends to reach her, they looked over the expressions on their faces. Seeing only concern they mentally sighed with relief, allowing them to relax somewhat. This meant that either no one had found out and blabbed to the school, OR that someone had and none of their friends thought that it mattered that they were dating. They gave them all a reassuring smile and turned towards the principal. She looked to their friends and saw the concern in their expressions.

“Don’t worry about them, I just need to discuss the babysitting arrangement we have,” Celestia said, smiling pleasantly towards the group, who in turn relaxed somewhat. “Alright you two, let’s go. I really don’t want to talk about the personal aspects of my son in public.”

And with that, the three of them turned to walk into the building.

“So… if we do this, every two weeks, we can use the girl’s locker room, to erm...’do it’ as long as we lock the door, after school whenever we want?” Lightning asked incredulously.

“Indeed provided you are discreet.”

“Umm, but, why do we have to watch Spike for the whole weekend?” Twilight asked, completely shocked that their principal would allow this to happen, AND give them permission to bang with each other on school grounds. That was unheard of. Actually, it was illegal. True they did have a few fantasies that involved a locker room scenario... but that she would allow them to was... flabbergasting.

“My reasons are my own, take it, or leave it,” Celestia said, with just a hint of a blush on her pale cheeks.

“Ooohhhh… I get it,” Lightning said with a knowing smile. “Hey you have to try out that new meat pogostick you found, and don’t forget to tell him to eat plenty of pineapple. You just have fun with that weekend of raw screwing you have planned with whatever new “friend” or “friends” you made and we will watch him for you. Oh and don’t forget, hot dogs are good, but clams are a delicacy. And don’t worry, I get that you haven’t been, “riding” in a while, but it is probably impossible to forget how. I mean you just jump on, and try to not ruin the furniture right?”

Celestia’s blush was now completely noticeable, to both of the girls. Her mouth was agape, and (though she would never admit it) her panties were slightly moistened.

“Rightthankyougoodbye!” a mortified Celestia said loudly as she practically shoved them out the door.

“Did you really have to say all of that to her?” Twilight asked with a scowl.

“Like you didn’t guess it before I did! Besides, it was funny!” Lightning replied with a laugh.

“She was mortified!”

“Yep, that’s what made it soo funny!”

Twilight facepalmed, “Okay, we will need to have a talk about this at some point, but for right now I can’t get my mind off the fact that we get to use the locker room tonight, with Coach Sombra sick and all.”

Before Lightning could respond however, the school bell rang, letting the students know that they needed to move their their butts, or risk detention.

“Crap, time for me to go, bye!”

Twilight was in a big hurry now. So much so, that when she ran off to her locker to get her stuff for her next class, she forgot that Lightning was following her, since they shared the same first hour. As Twilight reached her locker, she was greeted by a rather unwelcome sight.

“Well if it isn’t Twilight ‘Gorgeous’ Sparkle.”

Ugh, him again. “Go away Flash,” she said with a deadpan look.

Flash Sentry smiled and leaned in close to her and whispered. “We both know you want it bad, so why don’t we just cut the crap, and let Flash have a ride?”

Twilight gulped, of all the times for Lightning to make Celestia forget her walk around the halls having no other options, she kicked hard and hoped for the best.

...well that felt small and vulnerable...
