Royal Romance

Once Spike decided that he was going to tell Twilight's friends about her strange behavior he quietly left the library. He knew that if Twilight woke up and he was gone that she might get mad but this was bothering him so much that he decided that it was worth the risk. He ran over to Rarity's and knocked on the door. He stood there for a minute before Sweetie Belle answered the door, "Oh, hi Spike."

Spike asked, "Sweetie Belle, is Rarity home? I really need to talk to her."

Sweetie Belle replied, "No, she isn't home. She is with her friends getting something sweet to eat."

Spike said, "Thanks." Spike then rushed over to Sugarcube Corner, which was on the other side of town. By the time he got there he was short of breath. He rushed through the door, saw all of Twilight's friends and said, "Something's really wrong with Twilight and I don't know what it is."

Applejack asked, "What's wrong with Twilight sugar cube?"

Spike replied, "She's talking and moaning in her sleep."

Rarity asked, "Oh now Spike. Talking and moaning in one's sleep is completely normal. Sweetie Belle complains about hearing me do that all the time! What could she be saying that is worrying you?"

Spike replied, "She was talking like she was talking to Celestia. She told her she loves her."

Fluttershy interrupted, "Well I'm sure she does love the princess. They have always been close."

Rainbow added, "Yeah, it is probably more like a mother/daughter type of love."

Spike shouted, "You don't understand. She said that she loved her and told her she didn't want to go back to Ponyville. She said that she just wanted it to be them two forever and she would moan and call out Celestia's name."

Rarity gasped, "She did what?"

Spike continued, "Yeah, when she would call out Celestia's name she would really drag it out. I'm really worried about her. Don't tell her this but I think she has a crush on the princess."

Rainbow laughed, "Yeah, uh huh Spike. I doubt Twilight has a crush on the princess."

Applejack interrupted, "Now I know this may sound weird to y'all, but I could see that being the case. She has had kind of a dreamy look in her eyes at the very mention of Celestia's name here recently."

Fluttershy added, "She has been acting a bit strange when Celestia is mentioned here recently."

Rainbow asked, "But why do you think she would be moaning and calling out Celestia's name in her sleep. Something just doesn't seem right there."

Rarity interrupted, "Well, I think we should go and ask Twilight what all of this is about."

Everypony else agreed and headed back towards the library. When they headed in Twilight was still asleep and was still talking and moaning in her sleep. Rarity could tell by her tone of voice what was going on. She looked at her friends and said, "I think Twilight's dreams are...." she paused for a minute and listened further. She gasped, "Sexual in nature."

Everypony's jaws dropped open. Fluttershy was terrified at the very thought of anypony having dreams like that. She shrieked, "WHAT?"

This woke Twilight up, causing her to soar into the ceiling and crash down in front of her friends. Twilight snapped, "What are you guys doing here? I was sleeping!"

Rarity replied, "Twilight darling, Spike is really worried about you and wanted us to check on you."

Twilight snapped again, "Nopony calls me darling except Celestia!"

Spike said, "Twilight, calm down. You know Rarity calls a lot of ponies darling."

Twilight calmed down and began to cry a bit. She said, "I'm sorry girls. I didn't mean to snap at you, I was just startled when I was woken up."

Rarity asked, "Twilight, when we came in we heard you breathing heavily and calling out Celestia's name. Are you ok?"

Twilight became angry again and snapped, "What I dream about is MY business. If I want to have sexual dreams about.........." Twilight caught herself in mid sentence and said, "Look, now is not a good time to talk. Just leave me alone."

Spike was leading Twilight's friends to the door and was getting ready to shut it when Twilight shouted "YOU TOO SPIKE! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Spike rushed out the door and followed the five ponies back to Sugarcube Corner. Once they got back Rainbow asked, "What the hay is wrong with her? Why would she yell at us like that?"

Rarity replied, "I think it is because she is embarrassed that we heard her having a dream like that about Celestia."

Applejack added, "Well Ah am wondering if maybe she is attracted to Celestia because of some sort of weird disorder where students get attracted to their teacher?"

Rarity laughed, "Well if she is attracted to Celestia I wouldn't blame her. Celestia is the most beautiful pony in all of Equestria!"

While everypony continued to discuss what they think is going on with Twilight back at the library Twilight is sitting on her bed with tears running down her cheeks. The dream she had was the most intense dream she ever had in her life. She cried, "I don't know how much longer I can take this. I have to see Celestia!"

While Twilight kept saying to herself that she needed to see Celestia she feared how the princess would react if she simply told her that she loved her. She wanted to just go up and see Celestia but given that she had just got back from Canterlot, she realized that she would have to wait for a while. She thought to herself, "Now I just need to think of a way to keep Spike quiet." She sat their quietly for a minute and said to herself, "I know! I'll bribe him with ice cream! That will keep him quiet!"
