Chapter 2: A Little Help From Some Friends

~~~~~

Twilight stroked her chin as she tried to find a logical idea for who she should get advice from. Let's see...Pinkie's already out of the question, so maybe I could go to Rarity, she sure knows a lot about romance. But if I tell her the whole town will know about it within a matter of seconds. I could tell Apple Jack, but she's too honest to keep a secret. Rainbow Dash is well, Rainbow Dash. I know! I'll tell Fluttershy! She'd be too shy to tell anypony! Twilight began to trot out of her castle towards the shy mare's cottage, feeling much better now that her thoughts were more organized.

~~~~~

Pinkie had just finished baking a batch of muffins before Mrs. Cake walked in.

"Deary you've helped quite enough, why don't you go have some fun on a much needed break and you can come back at two-o-clock." Mrs. Cake suggested.

"Okie Dokie Lokie! I'll be sure to stay out of trouble!" the pink baker replied hastily as she sped off into town.

She didn't have much a problem thinking about whom she should go to for help on advice. She bounced along on the cobblestone path, until she came to a complete stop. She pulled balloons out of her mane and tied them tightly to her back. After a few seconds, she began to float up to a familiar structure made entirely out of clouds. Knock! Knock! Knock! She paused and waited for a sound. Knock knock knock knock knock knock kn-

"Geez! Hold your horses I'm coming!" yelled a rather annoyed Pegasus. The door quickly slammed open, revealing a very flustered looking Rainbow Dash. "Oh, it's just you Pinkie. So what do ya need Pinks? I'm kinda in the middle of something."

"You mean your nap? Sorry to wake you, I just have something reeeeeeeeally important that I need help with." Pinkie replied urgently. "You see, IreallyneedhelptellingTwithatIlikeherbutIthinkthatit'stoosoonandIdon'twantittoseemrushed."

"You what now? Wait, maybe you should come inside, your balloons are deflating and I just recently upgraded my home so non-Pegasi would be able to come in." Pinkie simply nodded her head in response, took of her balloons and deflated them (where they went nopony knows) and stepped inside the cloud house.

"Can you start over Pinks? I kinda missed what you said." Rainbow Dash asked, worried about her hyper friend. Pinkie sighed, suddenly worried about what her friend would think about her.

"Ok, so I really need help telling Twilight that I like her, but I think that it's too soon and I don't want it to seem too rushed." The pink mare felt as if a sack of flour had just been lifted off of her shoulders, but she only felt a little better. The cyan Pegasus snorted.

"You and Twilight? Pinkie you're such a crack up!" Rainbow Dash replied, falling on the cloud floor, laughing and snorting. Pinkie looked at her, feeling defeated, while her hair began to deflate.

"Yeah, I mean what was I thinking, I don't think it would really work out." Pinkie replied as her shoulders slumped.

"Wait you were being serious? Aw man, I'm really sorry Pinkie, I didn't mean it! It's just, I didn't know you were a..."Rainbow Dash said in an apologetic tone, trying to find the right word.

"Fillyfooler? Well I am...and it's fine really!" Pinkie said as she gave her friend a small smile.

"I'm still really sorry," Rainbow Dash said as she scratched the back of her neck awkwardly. "But I know that I can try and help you! I'm warning you though, I'm not good with all this mushy gooey stuff."

Pinkie began to feel better as her hair returned to its normal fluffy mess.

"Okay! So I was wondering if you could help me maybe be like calmer and stuff? I know she doesn't really like it when I yell." Pinkie asked, eager for advice.

"Well subtlety is kind of Flutters thing... but I guess I can help you with that." Rainbow replied, eager to help her friend feel better.

"What's subtlety?"

~~~~~

Twilight finally made it to Fluttershy's cottage, and trotted up to the wooden door. Knock knock.

"Just give me a second and I'll be right there." called a soft voice within the cottage. Twilight heard a shuffle and then Fluttershy opened the door.

"Hi Twilight. Why don't you come in?" Fluttershy suggested in a calm voice. Twilight accepted with gratitude, the walk from her castle to Fluttershy's cottage had not been easy on her hooves, so she decided to sit down on a lime colored couch.

"Although it's a pleasure to see you here, I was wondering what the occasion was." the shy Pegasus asked, feeling curious.

"I'm here to ask for your advice on a certain, uh, situation." Twilight said, feeling awkward already.

"What did you need advice on? Is Owlowiscious molting again?" Fluttershy asked, ready to help her clean if needed.

"You see, there's a certain mare that I like, and I want to confess to her, but you see, she can be a little hyper and I just don't have the confidence to tell her." Twilight replied, feeling almost as shy as the mare she was talking to. Fluttershy felt that she knew whom Twilight was talking about.

"Is it Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked, feeling her curiosity got the best of her once again. Twilight sputtered, feeling as though her perfect plan came crashing down on her.

"How did you know?" Twilight replied, wondering and worrying if her other friends, or Pinkie knew.

"There's really only one mare that we know that fits your description." Fluttershy said, making it seem like the answer was obvious.

"Does anypony else know? Is it really that obvious?" Twilight said in desperation.

"No, you are actually being very subtle. But if you want Pinkie to know, maybe you should try to be more obvious. Pinkie can sometimes, well miss a hint. Maybe even try to be a little spontaneous?" Fluttershy suggested, "But being confident isn't really my thing, it's more in Dashie's area of expertise, so I wouldn't know." she said, quick to doubt herself.

"That's sure to work! Thank you so much Fluttershy!" Twilight said as she hugged the Pegasus tightly.

"You might want to take my advice when you see her." Fluttershy said through strangled words hoping to be released of the lavender mare's firm grip.

"Oh, sorry Fluttershy." Twilight let go of the other mare, catching on to the hint.

"It's not a problem. I'm really glad I could help." Fluttershy gave Twilight a small grin and sent her off, realizing the time and knowing that her animals had to be fed around noon, and Angel sure gets cranky if he's not fed.

~~~~~

"Well time sure does fly when your having tons of fun!" the pink mare said happily. She softly hummed a tune to herself as she quickly peered up at the clock tower.

"Oh no! It's 2:50! I'm gonna miss baking cupcakes with Twi and I'm totally going to disappoint Mrs. Cake!" Pinkie cried as she, and a lavender mare in a different part of Ponyville, galloped off to SugarCube Corner.

Chapter 3: Cupcakes and Candles

~~~~~

Twilight and Pinkie both galloped as fast as they could to SugarCube Corner, hoping that they would make it before the other did, unaware they were in the same situation. Pinkie was almost there, and so was Twilight. CRASH!

"I'm very sorry ma'am! I just have something very important to go to and I guess that I just wasn't paying attention." Twilight said as she dusted herself of and got back on her hooves to get a better look at whom exactly she had collided with. "P-Pinkie? Oh I'm soooo sorry! I was just trying to get here so I wouldn't be late for our..." Twilight stroked her chin, pondering what she could call this get-together.

"Date?" Pinkie suggested, trying to be helpful. Pinkie quickly regretted saying it, realizing she made Twilight uncomfortable.

"Y-Yeah, I guess so." Twilight ruffled her feathers as she stuttered and her cheeks became a color that rivaled Pinkie's cotton candy mane.

"I think we should go in now." Pinkie smiled and politely opened the door for Twilight, hoping to impress her.

"Thank you madam." Twilight giggled as the Pinkie bowed slightly trying to be a gentlemare, but failing after toppling over onto Twilight because of the doors weight. After a few mumbled apologies and embarrassed blushes, Twilight quickly jumped behind the counter ready and eager to make cupcakes with the knowledge she had gained from reading many cookbooks. She quickly skimmed through the pages of a suggestion book Pinkie had found (who knows where), until she saw one that caught her eye.

"Hmmmmm, I think we should do this one." Twilight pointed at one resembled a magenta flower but it had purple sprinkles inside each petal, trying out Fluttershy's advice of being less subtle, because the colors matched their coats.

"O-Okay, they look kind of hard to make. Are you sure you can do it Twi?" Pinkie had a look of doubt on her face, not sure if she had enough pink frosting to make a batch, since Twilight was a first-timer and they would need much more frosting if they made mistakes.

"Yup! I'm positive!" Twilight said with a look of determination. Pinkie didn't want to ruin Twilight's up-beat mood (She's so adorable when she's happy!), so she started to gather the supplies.

"That's okay Pinkie, I think I can get it." Twilight illuminated her horn, and levitated the supplies toward them. She carefully floated them above the bowl before the flour started to rip on the bottom and covered Twilight hoof-to-horn. Pinkie tried to hold it in, but fell on the floor holding her chest tightly, bursting with laughter. Twilight walked to the bathroom, completely embarrassed and drenched in flour. Pinkie waited patiently for her, after all it only takes about five minutes tops for a pony to get cleaned up.

~~~~~

Twilight washed her face and sighed. Stop making such a foal of yourself, Twilight!

"Twi? You okay in there?" Pinkie didn't want to invade her privacy, but she was still concerned. Twilight quickly cleaned the rest of her up and took and deep breath in and let it out, just as Cadence had taught her.

"I'm fine!" Twilight called from inside the bathroom.

"Okie Dokie Lokie! I think I should put the ingredients in this time, and you can help me mix!" Pinkie said with enthusiasm. Twilight trotted out of the bathroom, feeling much better. She began to mix the chocolate cupcake batter, and they finally put it in the oven to bake.

"After this we get to frost them! It's gonna be so yummy Twi, and it was so much fun baking with you!" Pinkie said, taking in the aroma of baking cupcakes. Staying true to her word, Pinkie and Twilight frosted the cupcakes after, and they actually looked delicious! Twilight felt very confident after she finished baking. After all, she did bake some pretty good cupcakes.

~~~~~

"H-Hey Pinkie? I was wondering if you wanted to maybe eat these after a dinner at my place or something?" Twilight stuttered out, feeling very anxious. They had just finished frosting them, and with many re-dos and frosting fights, they turned out great.

"Yeah! That would be awesome! Like a sleepover!" Pinkie blurted out. "I mean, yeah sure! That would be cool." Twilight giggled at Pinkie. Yes! Pinkie thought. I finally have a chance with Twi!

"I'll meet you there at eight! But don't forget the cupcakes!" Twilight shouted as she trotted quickly and eagerly out of SugarCube Corner, nearly tumbling down the steps.

"I won't! Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye!" Pinkie yelled in response as she completed the movements for her well-known Pinkie promise. She watched as she faded out of sight, and Pinkie ran back in to get ready.

~~~~~

"Spiiiiiike? Have you seen the tablecloth we ordered a few days ago?" Twilight asked her number one assistant as she looked around the castle frantically. The small purple dragon yawned and stretched his claws as he stepped out of the wicker basket.

"I think you left it under the Memory Chandelier." Spike replied, hoping to get back to his nap.

"While I get that, do you think you can go and get those fancy candles Princess Celestia gave us for a home-warming gift? Oh and maybe make two daffodil sandwiches?" Twilight kindly asked, understanding the dragon's need to get some shut-eye.

"Sure thing, Twilight." Spike said as he went to the scullery, which currently resembled a kitchen that would be found in a barn.

Twilight trotted around the castle, carefully placing the tablecloth on the dining room table, which was surprisingly very narrow and small. Spike quickly prepared two daffodil sandwiches, and grabbed the candles and the candleholders as he waddled into the dining room.

"Here you go, Twilight." Spike said as he handed her the daffodil sandwiches and the candles. "Why exactly are we doing this?"

"A friend is coming over for dinner and I'm going to need you in bed by 8:00, so that means no comics." Twilight said in a motherly manner, as she gave him a gem for dinner.

"Thanks, Twilight. I'll be sure to be asleep by then." Spike said as he saluted Twilight jokingly.

"I can always count on you, Spike." Twilight said, finally relaxing before realizing the time.

~~~~~

"Mrs. Cake! I'm off to Twilight's for a while! I'll probably be back at 9:00!" Pinkie yelled down to her manager, as she strapped a basket with the cupcakes she and Twilight made earlier to her head.

"Okay deary, I might come over to check on you." Mrs. Cake said, concerned for her somewhat daughter, because Pinkie had been late the last time.

"You can count on me, Mrs. Cake! I won't be late this time!" Pinkie said, certain she would make it back to SugarCube Corner. Pinkie happily hopped out the door, and Mrs. Cake watched her until she could no longer see the bouncing silhouette.

Author's Note

Hiya! Thanks for waiting so long everypony! You must have thought I disappeared, but I hope you enjoyed the new chapter! If you wanted to see the cupcakes they made, this is what they look like.

4: Confession Cake Catastrophe

Tomber Amoureux

Confession Cake Catastrophe

~~~~~

Twilight hastily galloped to the door, and yelled at Spike to go to bed before the guest arrives, just as she hears a knock on her castle door. Knock, knock, knock!

"Coming!" Twilight called out in a hurry, feeling very flustered. She opened the door and saw Pinkie, as beautiful as ever. She gazed into her cyan eyes, peered at the basket on her head and began to giggle. The pink mare smiled in response, blushing furiously.

"H-Hi Pinkie! I was wondering if you wanted to come in. Spike made us dinner, maybe we could have the cupcakes for desert?" Twilight suggested, not wanting to fill up on sweets before the actual meal.

"Okie Dokie Lokie! So when are we eating?" Pinkie asked, her stomach suddenly growling as loud as a wolf.

"I guess we could eat right now." Twilight said, hoping she could finally tell Pinkie her feelings after they dine. They trotted slowly to the dining room, their hoofsteps echoing loudly off the cavernous castle walls. "The weather's really nice. I guess the weather ponies decided to cancel that storm, I'm glad they did or we couldn't have hung out earlier. I probably would have known if I talked to Rainbow, but I haven't really seen her in a while. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any of the girls in a while." Twilight said, trying to strike a conversation and giving Pinkie a small smile.

"Yeah! That would have been a doozy! I actually talked to Dashie this morning, it was nice seeing her again." Pinkie said to Twilight, thinking back to their conversation.

"Oh? What did you two talk about" Twilight asked, curious to what Rainbow had been doing.

"Stuff." Pinkie replied automatically, worried Twilight would somehow know what she and Rainbow were talking about.

"Stuff? What kinds of stuff?" Twilight questioned, starting to get suspicious.

"Oh you know the usual, pranking and that kind of stuff. Oh hey look it's the dining room! Remember when you were so tired you fell asleep on your pancakes?" Pinkie giggled, quickly changing the topic. Twilight blushed, remembering that specific occasion.

"Yeah, I remember. So I have daffodil sandwiches for dinner, I mean it's not the fancy dinner you might have wanted..." Twilight said, suddenly worried that she asked Spike to make such a casual dinner.

"It's perfect!" Pinkie said with her pearly white smile as they both took a seat at the table to eat.

~~~~~

Twilight scarfed down her daffodil sandwich, making Pinkie giggle at such a un-princessy thing to do. Twilight quickly levitated a napkin to her mouth, wiping off crumbs of the daffodil sandwich that hadn't made it into her mouth. Pinkie ate her daffodil sandwich too but finished after Twilight, she was using table manners.

"Do you want to eat the cupcakes now?" Pinkie asked eagerly, ready to take the basket off her head.

"Sure Pinkie." Twilight replied, who was also eager to eat their creations. Pinkie unstrapped the basket from her head and took out two cupcakes; one for her and one for Twilight. Pinkie handed the cupcake to her and took a bite out of the one she was holding, savoring the taste.

"It's swooo gwood." Pinkie said, crumbs raining down on the once spotless floor. Twilight also took a taste, careful not to scarf it down as she did with the daffodil sandwich.

"Mmmm. You're right Pinkie." Twilight said happily, she had finally made something (with the help of Pinkie) that actually tasted good. Pinkie quickly grabbed another cupcake only this time she touched the frosting with her hoof, and poked Twilight on the nose.

"Boop." Pinkie said, falling into a fit of giggles.

"It. Is. On." Twilight said, once again finding herself amidst a frosting war.

~~~~~

After the very messy Frosting Fight of Fillies, they both fell over in a pink and purple pile of laughter.

"This will never get old." Pinkie proclaimed, sitting up quickly only to find her muzzle against a cute purple nose. They could each other's hot breath on their fur, and Pinkie began to lean in...

"Pinkie! What are you doing?" cried out a very furious looking Mrs. Cake. The two fillies were having so much fun; they didn't hear that somepony else had walked in the castle. "I come in to check on you, and you're about to be kissed by a fillyfooler? I'm sorry I didn't notice deary, I'll be sure to warn you about these trouble making fillies if this happens again." Mrs. Cake said to her daughter in disgust, shooting an icy glare at Twilight. Twilight's ears drooped and she lowered her head.

"I'm so sorry Pinkie." Twilight said revealing her face, streaked with tears. She was about to gallop out of the dining room when Mrs. Cake abruptly stopped her.

"You stay here." Mrs. Cake said with a voice as hard as stone. "Pinkie, whatever could have egged this on? Why in Equestria would you associate yourself with a fillyfooler?" She asked, softening her voice. When she looked over to her daughter, her hair was deflated and she had tears streaming down her face.

"It's my fault, not Twi's!" Pinkie cried out.

"I don't tolerate this kind of behavior. If you truly are a fillyfooler, you are not welcome at SugarCube Corner anymore, and you are definitely no daughter of mine." Mrs. Cake said harshly.

"But I'll have nowhere to go!" Pinkie said desperately.

"Are you truly a fillyfooler?" Mrs. Cake asked, hoping she could change her daughter.

"N-No." Pinkie mumbled, lying through her teeth, sobbing.

"Then come home with me, and we will talk about wiser decisions when you feel better." Mrs. Cake said, taking Pinkie. As they trotted away Pinkie quickly glanced back, and regretted it immediately. She saw Twilight on the floor, curled up and looking ever so alone. Pinkie had to fix this.

She just had to.

Author's Note

Writing this chapter was so hard. It's hard to imagine Mrs. Cake being a homophobe, and even harder to imagine her being so mean. I hoped you liked the chapter, and I look forward to writing more chapters. -FluffyPinks

5: The Great Escape

Tomber Amoureux

The Great Escape

~~~~~

After Pinkie left, Twilight stayed motionlessly curled up on the cold dining room floor. She almost kissed me Twilight thought, with a small ray of hope. I have to tell her she can stay at my place! This has to work out...and who knew that Mrs. Cake was such a homophobe Twilight thought bitterly, as she began to stand up with a heavy but still hopeful heart. She peered up at the clock. It's 12:00. Maybe I can sneak in. Twilight pondered her situation, when she finally put on the sleek black suit that she had used to get into the castle to cast a time spell. It was a little bit harder to get on then it was last time. Must be all those cupcakes Twilight thought as she impatiently shoved herself in the outfit. She quickly walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was messy, her eyes were puffy and red from crying and there was still a gleam tears streaking down her face. She cleaned herself up and walked out of the castle into the cold and dark night.

Let's do this.

~~~~~

Pinkie lay in her room hugging Gummy tightly, sobbing. Why did this have to happen? I never knew that Mrs. Cake could be so mean, and I didn't even get to kiss Twi! The pink mare got on her hooves with sadness and hesitation; her fur got stuck to the sheets due to the fact that she was crying so much. She walked to the mirror, Gummy on her back and looked at the mess she saw before her. She did everything she could to try and make her hair poof up, but her stubborn hair stayed straight. Pinkie dried her tears and didn't bother trying to look nice. She slowly lay on her bed, even though this could never feel like home to her after what happened. Home was where the heart lies, and that was with Twilight. She started to fall asleep, hoping this was all a nightmare and she would soon wake up at the castle, snuggled up against Twilight's silky fur.

~~~~~

Plink!

Plonk!

Pinkie's ears twitched.

Plink!

She slowly woke up, yawned and looked out the window, noticing it was still dark outside.

Plonk!

Something hit her window. She walked out of bed, careful not to wake the Cakes. She peered out the window and saw a certain purple Alicorn levitating rocks at her window. Pinkie opened the window as quick as she could without making noise.

"Twi, what are you doing?" Pinkie whisper-shouted to Twilight.

"Pack your stuff, I'll explain later." Twilight said to Pinkie with a sense of urgency. Pinkie quickly went to get a suitcase, packed all of her personal belongings and grabbed Gummy.

"Now what?" Pinkie quietly asked Twilight, curious to see what Twilight had planned.

"Jump, just trust me." Twilight quickly said to Pinkie. Pinkie already trusted Twilight with all her heart, so she held Gummy tightly and jumped out the window. She expected to hit the ground, but instead she felt a tingly feeling from the bottom of her hooves to the top of her head. She looked down at Twilight, and realized she was floating a few hooves above ground. Twilight carefully placed Pinkie down and galloped to her side. She was so close she could feel Pinkie's hot breath catch and it made her fur stand on end.

This was her opportunity, and all she had to do was take it. She did. Twilight locked lips in a loving embrace and felt soft pink lips push against her own with very little aggression, but with very much kindness and love. Twilight stroked Pinkie's head and her stubborn hair as she pushed back tenderly with her newfound confidence and Pinkie felt Twilight push deeper into the kiss. Pinkie smiled lovingly through their embrace.

Poof!

Pinkie's hair spontaneously went back to it's normal craziness and she blushed with vigor. They broke apart and stared into each other's eyes, now they were both blushing profoundly. A long silence followed.

"I love you." Twilight finally said, breaking the silence of rustling leaves and wind.

"I love you too Twilight, and don't you forget it." Pinkie replied genuinely as she nuzzled her alicorn friend. Twilight blushed deeply and sighed. Suddenly, the realization of their circumstance hit them and they both stared at each other once again, this time their eyes full of worry.

"Where will I stay?" Pinkie questioned with a sad tone to her voice, knowing she would no longer be welcome at SugarCube Corner.

"I had already thought about that when I realized the castle had so many rooms and I could definitely spare one for my marefriend." Twilight said with a small smile. Red clashed on pink fur once again, only this time more noticeable.

"Thank you so much, Twi. So we're marefriends now?" Pinkie replied, very grateful that Twilight was so generous; maybe she would even surpass Rarity.

"Of course, I mean unless you don't want to." Twilight said, looking down at the stone path. Pinkie raised Twilight's chin so she could see her.

"Why wouldn't I want to be with the most beautiful mare in all of Equestria?" Pinkie asked, her smile shining brightly in the dark of the night. Twilight quickly blushed, but realized where they were, and worry shone through violet eyes.

"Uhm I hate to break the mood, but I think we should get moving." Twilight said with a twinge of disappointment, she didn't want this feeling to end. Pinkie nodded and was about to pick up her suitcase when it was surrounded by a pink aura.

"I've got it, let's go." Twilight said, already moving in the direction of the castle. Pinkie followed in pursuit and they picked up the pace. They made it back to the castle when the sun started rise, and light reflected off of the castle's grand structure. They hastily opened the crystal doors and walked to Twilights room, both collapsing of exhaustion.

~~~~~

"Twilight. Twilight." Twilight slowly opened her eyes to the sight of a small purple dragon staring down at her.

"Twilight? Why is Pinkie here? What happened?" Spike questioned, curious how long the pink party pony would be staying. Twilight sighed, knowing she would have to tell him and her other friends soon enough. She only hoped that they wouldn't react they way Mrs. Cake did.

"Spike, I have something to tell you. You see..." Twilight continued on to tell him exactly what happened yesterday night.

~~~~~

"Wow. Just wow." Spike said soon after the story finished. "So Mrs. Cake really...?" Spike asked as Twilight nodded her head in reply. "Well I guess that's that. Congratulations by the way, I didn't know you had it in you to finally get a date." Spike said as he stood up to leave the room so he could spend more time with Rarity; they were making hats today.

"So you're not upset that I'm dating a mare?" Twilight asked, thinking that she would get more of a reaction from the small dragon, even though she hoped she wouldn't.

"Why would I be upset? I mean, you can't help who you love right?" Spike said, hoping to leave the small room before tomorrow.

"You're the best, Spike." Twilight said, relieved she wouldn't have to get in a fight with her number one assistant.

"Aw, shucks. Thanks Twilight, but I really got to get going." Spike said as he slipped past Twilight and out the door.

"You know we are going to have to tell all of our friends, too. I'm definitely going to have to talk to Mrs. Cake." Pinkie said as she walked towards Twilight, apparently already awake.

"Yeah. We'll tell them all tomorrow I'm sure." Twilight said, hoping she could finally relax with her new marefriend.

6: The News

Tomber Amoureux

The News

~~~~~

Twilight shivered as she felt the covers being torn off of her already freezing body.

"Just five more minutes..." Twilight mumbled to nopony in particular as she turned to the other side of her bed.

"Come on silly filly! I have a surprise for you!" the pink pony squealed with enthusiasm.
The lavender mare sighed in defeat and slowly began to roll out of her extravagant bed. As soon as she was ready, a pair of soft pink hooves carefully placed a blindfold around Twilight's eyes, and onto Pinkie's back. Twilight nuzzled the nape of the pink mare's neck, causing Pinkie to stop for a few seconds. Pinkie trotted on, humming a soft upbeat tune to herself as they neared their destination. Twilight felt her hooves touch the stable dirt and the blindfold was slowly removed from her eyes as she looked out on the beautiful view before her.

"Where...how did you find this place?" Twilight asked breathlessly, stumbling to find words.
She looked around once more, recognizing it as the Whitetail Woods; only she had never been to this particular part of the forest before.

"Well, I just come here to think sometimes. I call it my thinking spot, but then I started to think: why couldn't it be our thinking spot?" Pinkie explained, hoping the lavender mare would like it.

"You're amazing, Pinkie." Twilight said softly as she hugged the mare next to her.

"Thanks, Twi. But enough of all that sappy stuff, let's have some fun!" Pinkie shouted as she broke away from the hug and jumped into the small pond behind her, causing Twilight to get absolutely soaked. Twilight chuckled and jumped in after the bubblegum-pink mare. They swam around and splashed each other for hours, had a picnic and jumped right back in the pond. They both knew this would be one of their favorite spots to visit, and they could not wait to come back next week. As the sun began to set, they stopped splashing for a few moments and stared straight into each other's eyes. Twilight noticed the kindness and compassion in her companions eyes and Pinkie recognized the trust and support in Twilight's. After one more moment of silence, Twilight finally spoke.

"I love you, Pinkie."

"I love you too, Twi." That said they both began to lean in for a sloppy kiss to end their perfect day together.
Once the sound of rustling leaves finally broke them apart, they went back to the castle to get a good night's sleep.

~~~~~

Featherweight stumbled into a bush, breathing heavily.

"How in all of Equestria, could you lose a foal?!?! A foal?! Come on, we need him to write a story or we will end up with no bits on the streets of Phillydelphia!" The burly stallion roared, spitting furiously. He ranted on as he walked further and further away from the foal he was searching for. Featherweight breathed a sigh of relief as he slowly and carefully got out of the bush he was hiding in. Featherweight had been working for the stallion for a while; he had to in order to save his mom from poverty. His dad left while he was a small foal and his mom didn't have a job.

Featherweight worked as a photographer for Ponyville's newspaper, but he hadn't gotten a headliner in weeks and he was starting to get desperate for bits. As he looked around him, he recognized he had ran straight into the Whitetail Woods, so he decided to look around for stories, anything interesting. A few hours into his search, he heard voices and laughter. He wanted to investigate so he started to follow the voices that seemed very familiar. As he finally reached the source of the laughter, he saw two mare's splashing each other and giggling. He swiftly jumped into a bush next to him and watched what they were doing. Those two mares, I know them. Hey, that's Princess Twilight and Pinkie Pie! What in Equestria are they doing here? As he watched more and more he began to notice that Twilight and Pinkie seemed to have something more than friendship. I'll call it: Princess of Friendship Taking It Further? This has got to make the front page! I just need proof... All of the sudden the Woods were completely silent. Featherweight stumbled for his camera and quickly removed the flash. Pinkie and Twilight were starting to move closer and Featherweight silently focused in on the two mares as they embraced with a loving and sloppy kiss. Featherweight took the picture, but his heart dropped as he thought of the possibilities of what could happen to them. But then he thought of his mother and the burly stallion that would only get more persistent so he made his decision. He stumbled out of the bushes clumsily, and watched them break apart. Nothing that bad can happen, right?

Hiya everypony! This was a troubling chapter to write, and I'm worried too much is going on at once. I tried to get this chapter out very quick, and I hope you like it. Sorry for leaving you guys with a cliffhanger, though. I'm also so sorry that this chapter was so short. Let me know if you see any grammar mistakes.

7: Rumor Has It

Tomber Amoureux

Rumor Has It

~~~~~

Twilight and Pinkie woke to the sound of hooves touching the cool glass floors as well as murmuring and mumbling.

Knock, knock, knock

"Twilight, darling can we come in?" more murmurs and mumbling ensued.

"Uh, sure." the lavender mare responded to who she assumed was Rarity. She was correct after seeing her friends Rarity, AJ, Fluttershy and Rainbow trot slowly in. Rainbow came in with newspaper in mouth and carefully closed the door behind her.

"Now why didn't y'all tell us anythin'?" Applejack asked with a very pained expression.

"Tell you what?" Pinkie asked, curious to why her friends had stormed into the castle.

"Tell ush 'bout dish." Rainbow said, paper still in mouth but now she was pointing to a particularly large picture on the front page. It showed two ponies, kissing fervently. Once Twilight and Pinkie figured out who those two ponies were, they panicked. Twilight nearly fell out of the bed and Pinkie smiled very nervously, her eyes darting about the room.

"Where did you get that picture?" Twilight asked, as she got more and more anxious.

"It was in the newspaper this morning so naturally all of us were pretty flustered and we started to wonder why you had told the whole town when we, your closest friends had no idea." Rarity responded, remembering waking up and seeing the paper. She thought that this was how they were coming out as a couple even though the title: Princess of Friendship Taking It Further? had not bothered her at the time.

"We were going to tell all of you today, but it seems somepony had been spying on us. But you're not at all disgusted by us?" Twilight asked, worried about all of their opinions. Before they could answer, Twilight quickly took hold of the Newspaper to see who had taken that photo. Featherweight. Pinkie and I will have to make a quick visit to him to see why he had taken a picture of such a personal thing.

"Now why ever would you think that, sugarcube?" The orange mare cleared her throat as she replied; taken aback that Twilight would ever think that her friends would judge her for who she is.

"We were worried that you wouldn't want to be our friends anymore if we told you." Pinkie replied suddenly, still happy that nopony had yelled at them or ran away, scared of how they are marefriends.

"Darling, the only reason we are upset is because the news of you two came out before any of us knew. Speaking of which, how long have you and Twilight been dating?" Rarity asked, always itching for gossip about any romantic couples.

"Only a few weeks." Pinkie responded, saying it as though it is practically no time at all. The rest of her friends gasped, they all thought Twilight and Pinkie had only been together for a few days. Twilight scratched the back of her neck out of nervously.

"Well... we were very worried about what all of you would think but now the whole town knows about us..." Twilight said, knowing there were more than a few ponies who wouldn't accept their relationship.

"Whatever happens, we will always be here for help." A quite voice said from the back of the room. Everypony turned to face the voice, and recognized the cream-colored pony as the ever so quiet Fluttershy.

"Aw! Thanks Flutters!" Pinkie pounced on Fluttershy and gave her a huge hug.

"If anypony has anything bad to say about us, I sure feel a lot better with you girls here to support us." Twilight said with a small smile as they all joined in for a group hug.

~~~~~

The citizens of Ponyville all whispered and pointed as Pinkie bounced past with Twilight following quickly behind, as she lowered her head in shame. Pinkie stopped abruptly and Twilight bumped into her. She tilted Twilight's head up so she could meet her sympathetic gaze.

"Don't let those silly fillies get the best of you, Twi." Pinkie whispered, hoping that Twilight would take her advice, and just be proud of who she was. The lavender mare nodded slowly so Pinkie continued bouncing along the dirt path of the market and Twilight continued following, this time her eyes looked straight ahead, not at the ground. A few short minutes later, they stopped once again; only this time they had reached their destination. Ahead of them was a very small and old cottage that looked like it was barely standing up, some of the stone was chipped and it had vines growing along the sides. The only way they knew somepony was living there is there was a small chimney with small puffs of smoke trailing out.

Knock, knock, crunch!

Twilight's hoof went straight through the door on the third knock. Well this seems familiar. Twilight thought, remembering the time that she figured out she had been a terrible pony to all of her friends in Canterlot.

"Coming!" called a very frail voice. She opened the door slowly, as though she was dreading something but after she saw the faces at the door, she quickly closed it.

"Nopony is home, come back tomorrow!" called the pony again, only this time there was a small amount of strength to her voice.

"Excuse me, miss? We don't think it's right that your son, um Featherweight, is invading our personal and private life." Twilight said, hoping that she would talk to her son about snooping about other ponies' personal business.

"Well I don't think that it's right that you are living in a castle while me and my son have to work for hours for one measly bit!" Featherweight's mother began to sound furious, she knew how the royalty worked. If they get to live with butlers in giant crystal castles, then surely they shouldn't mind if lower class ponies like ourselves tried to make their lives a little less grand.

"I'm not exactly sure if you understand-"

"I understand completely well, thank you. I would very much appreciate if you get your nose out of my business and I might do the same! I would also appreciate it if you flew off and went about your day!" the pony inside screamed with anger at Twilight and Pinkie.

"Maybe we should just leave it be Pinkie, I don't think that Featherweight's mom is in a very good mood." Twilight said, not happy that she was given zero hospitality, when all she wanted was to have a civil talk about privacy.

"If you say so..." Pinkie had nearly growled at the mare inside the house for talking to Twilight like that, but right now Twilight seemed very uncomfortable. They trotted slowly back to the castle but Pinkie had lost the bounce in her step, still thinking about what that pony had said to Twilight. But Pinkie couldn't focus on that. She only had three months to find a way to earn bits, for two different reasons now, and she needed all the time she could get.

Author's Note

I wonder what Pinkie is saving up for? You'll have to wait and see but I'm very excited about writing more and I'm planning on making this a pretty long story. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, feel free to tell me if you see any mistakes.

8: Back In Business

Tomber Amoureux

Back In Business

~~~~~

Twilight woke up bright and early the next day, and smelled the sweet aroma of maple syrup and fluffy pancakes. She quickly went to the kitchen, her mouth already watering. She sat down next to her dragon assistant, Spike. He looked down at his pancakes with a frown moving the pancakes slowly around, drenching them in syrup.

"Is everything alright, Spike?" Twilight asked, worried about the baby dragon.

"Not really. I saw Rarity today, but she was with Applejack, and then I went to go pranking with Rainbow Dash, but she was with Fluttershy. I was going to hang out with you, but your always with Pinkie!" he pushed the pancakes away, losing his appetite at the thought of Rarity and AppleJack back at the boutique.

"Have you thought of hanging out with Applebloom, Scootaloo or SweetieBelle at all?" Twilight asked, feeling guilty for not spending much time with Spike, but she knew that today she would have to get back to work for Princess Celestia, and tend to the needs of the citizens.

"No I haven't. You know what, I'll go there now!" Spike said, his mood improving a tremendous amount. Twilight smiled to herself as she sipped her coffee, feeling satisfied.

~~~~~

Featherweight still felt guilty about his previous headliner, but he knew that his boss liked him better after that. He had told Featherweight that if he could find more stories like that, he might get a promotion! So he trotted around looking for anymore interesting news. He started to get thirsty, and he knew that it was cider season. He had a few extra bits so he decided to go to Sweet Apple Acres. Once he reached the small stand, after waiting in a reasonably long line. Once he got to the front he put his bits on the stand and asked for Apple Cider, but instead he saw Applejack, her face flushed the same color as her Cutie Mark, and Rarity standing beside her. He quickly stumbled for his camera and took a picture. Applejack noticed, and chased him off of the farm, but that wouldn't really change that he had a picture.

Featherweight continued on, knowing that he had gotten another headliner, but feeling guilty all the same. He began to trot with a more confident stride, and he trotted off towards Rose's roses. He trotted with his extra bits in hoof, but before he could get there, he saw Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy walking towards the stand. Once again he reached for his camera and waited for the perfect moment. He waited while Rainbow bought flowers, and right as she was handing them to Fluttershy, he snapped a picture and this time he flew off into the bushes. What luck! Now I have two pictures for the headline, and I know exactly what I'll call it! This time he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, he felt quite proud of himself. He smirked as he looked closely at the pictures he had taken.

~~~~~

Pinkie slipped slowly into SugarCube Corner, and went stealthily up the stairs. She pushed the icing on the cupcake that was on the railing, and slipped down the slide to get to work. She gathered all of the files and party supplies she might need and places them carefully in a bag, and slid back up the slide. She closed the room and carefully made her way outside of SugarCube Corner.

"Pinkie?" She froze in place, recognizing the voice. She slowly turned around to face the voice.

"Um, hello Mr. Cake." she started to feel very awkward and she tried to slip away, but Mr. Cake began to speak again.

"Where have you been? It's been a month and it's hard to keep up as it is with Pumpkin and Pound, but now that your here things are sure to pick up." Mr. Cake said as he pushed Pinkie behind the counter and left behind the doors, leaving a very confused pink pony in his wake. Mrs. Cake trotted out with a cake on her back, looking very pleased with her creation. As soon as she set it down. She turned around, and noticed Pinkie.

"Pinkie?! Why are you here!? You're going to ruin our business and drive all of the customers away! Get out! GO!" Mrs. Cake yelled at Pinkie, expecting her to get up and leave. Instead she stood up, and felt a sudden boost of confidence.

"You know what Mrs. Cake? I won't leave. I won't until I can talk to you. Alone." Pinkie walked into through the back door, where an unsuspecting Mr. Cake was waiting. Mrs. Cake came storming in, furious with the pink mare.

"What do you think your doing?!" Mrs. Cake yelled, spitting furiously.

"Why do you hate homosexuals so much? What's the problem? If you think it's because we can't have children, we can adopt!" Pinkie yelled back, with just as much anger in her voice. Mrs. Cake was taken aback by Pinkie's question, but replied.

"I don't hate them! I just think that they are disgusting, and that they have no purpose."

"What? But we love each other, just like you and Mr. Cake love each other, I see hardly any difference." Pinkie replied in a calmer tone.

"Don't you dare compare me to you! I am nothing like you!" Mrs. Cake spat back.

"There's just no reasoning with you is there? I tried, I really did." Pinkie said, feeling disappointed that she could not have a conversation with her caretaker. She slowly picked up the bag, and trotted out the door, knowing there was no use. She was as stubborn as a mule. She sighed and began to trot back to the castle, bag in mouth. She knew that she would have to work long and hard to raise enough money for what she wanted. It would take at least 9-10 months, and that's all the time she needed. But now she had another reason to collect bits.

Author's Note

9: Days of Drama

Tomber Amoureux

Days of Drama

~~~~~

Pinkie trotted over to the side of the room and checked the clock, her hooves ached and she was tired. The clock read 2:00AM. Pinkie groaned as she squinted in the darkness, the only light coming from the disco ball and the floor that was flashing different colors. Pinkie listened to the songs and slowly slouched onto the floor, her exhaustion taking over. This was her third party of the night, and she had only earned a few bits. She was awoken about 15 minutes later by DJ-Pon3, or as Pinkie called her: Vinyl Scratch.

"Vinyl? What happened?" Pinkie said, still very drowsy.

"You fell asleep at the party remember? I got the bits and put them in your jar by the way. What are you saving up for anyways?" Vinyl asked, curious to what the pink pony was doing. Pinkie smiled and finally got to her hooves to explain to Vinyl.

~~~~~

Twilight was shaken awake to see red puffy eyes. She quickly figured out that it was Spike. He had obviously been crying, sobbing even, about something.

"What's wrong Spike?" Twilight slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes. Spike simply handed her the paper and sniffed. Her eyes widened at the title: Elements of Love? Her eyes began to wonder down to the photos, one of which Rarity was looking at Applejack, who seemed to be blushing. This must be why Spike is so upset. I'll have to see exactly what happened, but probably another privacy invasion from FeatherWeight Twilight thought, she really wanted to talk more to his mother without being yelled at. She looked down and saw one more picture of Rainbow Dash giving flowers to Fluttershy. She looked to her side to see what Pinkie thought of the situation, but to her surprise, no one was in the bed but herself. Twilight knew that she would have to deal with this herself.

"Don't worry Spike, I'll get to the bottom of this." Twilight replied, sure of herself. Spike sniffed and nodded. Twilight handed him back the paper and he gripped it, his spines drooped.

~~~~~

The bags under Pinkie's eyes were starting to get more noticeable, as she was in the midst of throwing another party, for a colt named Button Mash. Most of the party consisted of them playing arcade games, so Pinkie took advantage of this situation and took a nap. When she awoke there was a note taped to her muzzle, with a few bits inside. They fell outside as Pinkie stood up and they made a satisfying clink! as they hit the ground. She read the note and smiled, this was one of the reasons she liked throwing parties so much.

Pinkie,
Thanks SOOOO much for the awesome party! I can't believe that you found all these cool arcade games that I could play. Your the best pony ever and I can't wait until my next birthday, I'll be sure to make sure that you can throw that one too!

After she read it, she noticed that the little colt left a few extra bits, and she couldn't be more thankful. She would have to remember the colt's name so that she could make his next birthday super-extra-spectacular! She slowly trotted over to a new Cafe so that she could get some coffee, which is something she rarely needed. As she walked in she noticed a Help Wanted sign. She was curious and decided that she would ask the waiter or waitress about it when they showed up. Just as she sat down an earth pony with a cream coat with navy blue and pink curly hair came to take her order.

"Bon-Bon? Is that you?" Pinkie asked, feeling very happy to see her old friend.

"Pinkie?!?" Bon-Bon looked up at the pink mare and smiled as she hugged her friend.

"What are you doing here?" Pinkie asked, curious but ecstatic to see Bon-Bon again.

"Just trying to make a couple extra bits. But the real question is what are you doing here? Why aren't you out there making everypony smile?" Bon-Bon asked, knowing that her friend had a bubbly personality.

"Same as you. I was actually wondering about the job opening." Pinkie said, hoping she could get this job, knowing that it would pay more then having a bunch of parties.

"Oh yeah, we need more ponies to cater the tables, seeing as I'm the only pony to do that. You can swing by at 6:00 to apply if you want." Bon-Bon replied, hoping that Pinkie could be her new co-worker.

"Oh that would be great! It's nice seeing you here!" Pinkie said, still excited to see her.

"Yeah! I'll just go get your coffee, and we can talk some more." the creamy mare said as she rushed to the back to make Pinkie coffee. Pinkie sighed, even though it was nice seeing Bon-Bon she was really tired and knew that she had to get back to the love of her life; Twilight. Bon-Bon came back with the coffee and placed it on the table.

"It was really nice talking with you, but I'm very tired and I have a mare at home that I need to get back too. I also need to get ready for the application, so maybe we can talk more then?" Pinkie suggested as she handed her a few bits and a tip. Bon-Bon nodded and Pinkie got up and sipped her coffee down in one go, and left the Cafe.

~~~~~

Twilight flew to her friends houses, and showed them the newspaper. As they were all appalled of such lack of personal privacy, they also admitted that they were dating. Twilight knew that Spike would be absolutely devastated and she would have to break the news to him. After they were done speaking about the newspaper, Twilight asked them to accompany her to the mother's house, naturally they agreed. So there they were, and Twilight once again knocked on the old door.

"It's me, Twilight. I know that you don't want us to come in, but we aren't taking no for an answer." the mare inside sighed and slowly opened the door...

Author's Note

Hey everypony! I hope you like the new chapter :twilightsmile: ! Sorry for another cliffhanger, but I try to leave you guys on the edge of your seats. I can't wait to write more chapters, and finally have Twilight talk with Featherweight's mom. Once again, if you see any mistakes please let me know. Until next time!

10: Girls Night Out

Tomber Amouruex

Girls Night Out

~~~~~

The mare inside slowly opened the door and it creaked, almost falling off of its rusty hinges. It revealed a very exhausted looking Cloudkicker, except her hair was in a messy bun and it looked like she was getting gray hair, most likely from all of the stress of having a child.

"I guess it's time I explain to you how I got in this situation, and why I was yelling at you a few days ago." Cloudkicker's head hung low as she invited the five ponies in, knowing that her behavior a few days ago was unacceptable. She had just been so stressed since she had Featherweight, and it didn't help that she was broke. Cloudkicker took a seat on a very worn couch and motioned for the others to do the same.

"So there I was, minding my own business, just making sure that the clouds were all in formation, since a big storm was scheduled for that evening. Then all of the sudden, Thunderlane showed up with pretty daisies in his mouth, looking all gentleman like and he explained to me that he had liked me for a very long time, and asked if I would be his marefriend. So I said yes, being the naïve mare that I was. So a few weeks later our relationship got more intense, and things only escalated from there. After Thunder found out that I was pregnant, he immediately flew off, and I haven't seen him since. So I was left with the colt, and I had barely any money to take care of myself and after Featherweight was born, I was broke. Each day that I passed your castle I grew more envious, seeing that you were very wealthy, and I had and still have nothing. That's the only reason Featherweight is a reporter for the News. After he found out that information about all of you, I did not care, seeing that I had become so envious of all of you. I only realized now that I had been so rude, and I am sorry." Cloudkicker finished, and silence swept over the small room.

"I had no idea-" Twilight started,

"It's fine really, but right now I would just like to sit in peace, so I would be very grateful if all of you could leave." Twilight, AppleJack, Rainbow, Fluttershy and Rarity all got up and left, although they were still upset that their personal information was in the News Paper, they understood why. They all trotted back to the castle, in need of something that would get their minds off of things.

~~~~~

Pinkie returned from the application with a smile on her face; she was hired. Work started Monday, and today was Sunday. She trotted back to the castle, seeing all of the girls, and she thought that being hired called for a celebration, but she couldn't let Twilight know that she was working, so she needed to find another reason. She walked up to them and they all smiled, and Twilight came over to her and gave her a little peck, explaining to her what had happened earlier.

"It seems like you guys need a break, and I know just the place." Pinkie said with a smirk.

~~~~~

They all arrived walked up to a very loud place a few hours later, and the sun began to set.

"This is it." Pinkie said brightly, glad she could finally come back here; she hadn't been here since the day before Twilight and her made cupcakes, and they both became marefriends. The flashing neon sign read: Berry Punch's Blue Boar Inn. All of the mares merely stared at the sign, knowing that this was a very well known-bar, but it was very hard to get into so they had no idea how Pinkie would get them in. Pinkie walked up to a very burly security guard who seems to recognize her instantly.

"Well if it isn't the party animal herself," he says with a smirk. "Who are your friends?"

"This is Twilight, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Rarity." Pinkie said, pointing to each one of them.

"Pleasure to meet your acquaintance. Any friend of Pinkie's is a friend of mine. You can all head on in if you want," the stallion said with a grin. Pinkie motioned for her friends to follow, she noticed that they all had a bewildered expression on their faces so she giggled and once again motioned for her friends to follow.

"How do you know him?" Twilight whispered to Pinkie.

"I'll explain later," the pink mare said, as she opened the doors. They all looked in, noticing that the dance floor flashed with different lights, a disco-ball hanging from the ceiling. They looked over to the DJ stand and saw none other than DJ-Pon3.

"Come on guys, let's go get drinks!" Pinkie shouted over the music, bouncing her way towards the bar. They all followed her through the crowd, bumping into many ponies on the way. When they arrived at the bar, Pinkie was already chatting up the bartender, drink in hoof.

"Y'all must be Pinkie's friends. What can I get for ya?" the stallion said in a raspy voice.

"I'll just have some hard cider." Apple Jack replied.

"Me too." Rainbow said, eager to get her hooves on the cider.

"I'll have a Tequila." Fluttershy said, making all of her friends surprised.

"I didn't know that you drink." Rainbow said to Fluttershy, and Fluttershy giggled at their reactions.

"I'll have your best red wine." Rarity replied, hoping that this bar wasn't full of barbaric ponies.

"What do you think I should get?" Twilight whispered to Pinkie; they both knew that she wasn't one to drink.

"The Vodka here is the best, but that's some pretty strong stuff. I'm not exactly sure you'll be able to handle it, so I can think of something else if you want." Pinkie said to Twilight, thinking over what other good drinks they had here.

"I'll have a glass of Vodka." Twilight replied, sure that she could handle it. Pinkie looked at her with a surprised expression, but smiled. I'm not exactly sure that this will go well for Twilight Pinkie thought, regretting her decision of bringing up Vodka in the first place.

~~~~~

Their drinks were finally ready and before they knew it, Apple Jack and Rainbow were taking shots; seeing who would last the longest. Twilight stared at them, knowing that their competition may take all night. Rarity and Fluttershy were talking in a small quiet corner, hoping to avoid the loud, booming stereos. Twilight merely stared at her drink, and Pinkie walked over, already drinking her third glass of Vodka, not appearing the slightest bit drunk.

"Come on Twi, have some fun!" Pinkie shouted, the speakers muffling her voice a small bit. With a boost of confidence Twilight took a sip of her Vodka, and she felt a totally new sensation. But to Pinkie, she was drunk. Twilight stumbled over to Pinkie with a goofy smile plastered to her face, and stuck her muzzle into the pink mare's chest.

"You smell nice...like vanilla..." Twilight said as she burst into a fit of giggles. Pinkie's face was tomato red.

"W-wow Twilight, you really are a lightweight." Pinkie said. Twilight hugged Pinkie's back and giggled into her fur.

"Your so soft..." Twilight said as she stroked Pinkie's mane, still holding onto the pink mare. Pinkie didn't think it was possible, but her face became even redder. Coming here might not have been the best choice. I just didn't know Twi was that lightweight Pinkie thought to herself. Pinkie had an idea. She draped Twilight over her, who was still giggling and walked over to the other girls. Pinkie then noticed that Twilight was still drinking from her glass somehow, and she had to snatch it away from her. Pinkie then looked up at the girls, and noticed that Rainbow was on the ground.

"T-take t-that ya v-vermin, I w-win!" Applejack said, her voice slurred. She then collapsed onto to the ground next to Rainbow. Pinkie decided that she would have to talk to Fluttershy and Rarity, so she walked over to the corner where they were.

"I'm gonna take Twi home, she might've had too much to drink." Pinkie said. Fluttershy and Rarity looked at Pinkie and saw that on her back was a very drunk Alicorn. Rarity then looked over Pinkie's shoulder to see her date and Rainbow on the ground.

"I think it's best if we leave as well, I'll pay and you can go, Pinkie. Thank you for bringing us." Rarity said as she and Fluttershy went to go retrieve their dates.

~~~~~

Pinkie started to trot slowly back to the castle when she realized that Twilight was trying to get off her back. Twilight finally succeeded and walked over to Pinkie and kissed her. It was an extremely sloppy kiss that tasted like alcohol. Twilight tried to take the kiss further, but Pinkie backed away.

"Twilight you're drunk, stop it." Pinkie said, knowing that this wouldn't keep Twilight from trying to kiss her. Twilight looked at Pinkie with pleading eyes, but Pinkie resisted and put Twilight on her back again. Twilight struggled, trying to get off but she couldn't. So she simply lay on Pinkie's back swaying back and forth until they got to the castle. Pinkie then carried her up the stairs and placed her on the bed. Pinkie peered at the clock and noticed that it was 1:23 AM. Pinkie sighed and slipped into bed with Twilight, who hugged her as she drifted off to sleep.

1: Thinking Of Her

Tomber Amoureux

Chapter 1: Thinking Of Her

By FluffyPinks

~~~~~

Twilight walked silently as she could feel the soft clip clop that matched the rhythm of her beating heart. A more lively and playful mare; Pinkie, bounced up and down as she brushed up against the mare beside her at least once or twice. Twilight had just finished reading the newest Daring Do book: Daring Do and the Search For the Hidden City. She had enjoyed it a lot, but she enjoyed the pink party mares company a lot more, more than she would admit to.

"Thank you so much for coming along with me to return the book to Rainbow. I hope I wasn't a bother." Twilight said as she began to approach her ginormous castle, which she just starting getting used to.

"Oh it was no trouble at all! Just remember you Pinkie Promised to make cupcakes tomorrow!" Pinkie replied as she bounced along the downtrodden path.

"I won't, it's hard to forget since you've been reminding me about it every two seconds." Twilight replied bluntly.

"I'm such a silly filly, I know that my favorite friend won't miss out on something as fun as making cupcakes with me!" Pinkie said cheerfully as she hugged the lavender mare.

Twilight blushed, but quickly tried to hide it with her crystal castle door.

Pinkie however, did not notice. She was too caught up in thinking about baking cupcakes tomorrow with Twilight, who she liked a lot. Although she couldn’t trust anypony with her feelings on Twilight, she could always talk with Gummy, her pet alligator.

Twilight noticed that Pinkie was a little zoned out, and decided to say goodbye before she could start talking about frosting, or pranking, or something else that Twilight associated with the pink mare.

"So I guess I'll see you tomorrow..." Twilight said awkwardly as she scratched the back of her neck.

"Yeah! Sorry, I was thinking about frosting again but I will definitely see you tomorrow." Pinkie said as she sped off to SugarCube Corner, before Twilight could respond.

~~~~~~

"Oh Pinkie, if only you could know how I feel." Twilight slid down the door onto her flank and sighed with a feeling of melancholy. She slowly trotted through the partially empty castle when she heard the sound of snoring.

Spike how do you do it? She thought jealously. If only she could fall asleep that easily, but she had work to do from Princess Celestia, and she did not want to disappoint. She trotted off to her secluded desk, and began to write her report on Poison Joke, which she already knew too much about. But she couldn’t get her mind off that cotton candy mane, and the mare's beautiful smiles that would almost always reach her sparkling cyan eyes. "I might as well just stop writing if I can't concentrate, I guess I can finish the report tomorrow." Twilight trotted back to her room, and slid into bed, careful not to wake the baby dragon beside her. She began to toss and turn in bed, but finally started to drift off into a deep slumber.

~~~~~

Pinkie was having a similar problem, but she had to remember that she had a whole order of muffins to deliver to Derpy Hooves the next morning. Don’t think about Twilight, don’t think about how you can lose yourself in her amethyst eyes that always light up when she finds something interesting, don’t think about how soft her fur is when you hug her…NO! I need to stop thinking about her! Oh I’m never going to get to sleep, and then I’ll miss the morning and talking to all the ponies, and making all the baked goods and seeing Twilight. Pinkie sighed, and looked desperately at Gummy.

"Oh what am I going to do Gummy? I'll never be able to tell Twi! I don't even think she likes mares." Pinkie cried out glumly. Gummy blinked one eye, and then the other, which Pinkie thought to mean: You can do it! What’s there to be afraid of? "A ton of things! What if she rejects me? What if she never wants to talk to me? What if-" Gummy put his claw to Pinkie’s mouth as if he was showing comprehension. "Thanks for understanding Gummy, I guess I'll just see her tomorrow." Pinkie yawned, and then hopped into her bed, nearly knocking over the poor alligator. She began to snore, and finally was relived of all her previous thought and worries.

~~~~~

Both ponies woke up in the morning feeling slightly well rested, and they were both ready to start the day. Twilight went on with her daily routine of brushing her teeth, taking a shower, combing her mane and finally finding an interesting new book to read later in the day.

Pinkie however, does things a bit differently. She jumped out of bed with enthusiasm, and went in to go brush her teeth, and giggle while she tried, and failed to straighten her mane. She jumped into her shower and turned on the cold water (she always likes to be extra super awake when serving ponies in the morning). Pinkie also remembered that she had told Twilight to come over and bake at exactly 3:00PM. She slid down the licorice railings and got to work with her peppy attitude, as always.

Twilight began to trot towards SugarCube Corner to get her usual. She threw open the bakery doors and smelled the delicious aroma of baked treats. Twilight walked up to the cash register, ready to order.

"Hiya Twi! What can I get for ya?" The excited pink baker asked.

"A dozen chocolate cupcakes with raspberry frosting, please." Twilight replied, eager to eat.

Pinkie had those ready in ten seconds flat, because she always remembered what Twilight wanted.

As Twilight reached for her box of cupcakes her hoof touched Pinkie's, and she hesitantly pulled away, blushing.

Pinkie's blush wasn't visible, her pink coat masked it, but Twilight's blush remained very obvious, so Twilight had to turn so that Pinkie couldn't see her rosy cheeks.

"Thanks." Twilight said nervously as she opened the door to exit SugarCube Corner.

"Any time." Pinkie replied in a cheerful tone.

As Twilight trotted back towards the castle she quickened her pace so she could eat the cupcakes she just bought, finish her report, and ponder how she would confess to Pinkie, or if she should ask her friends for advice.

Pinkie had similar thoughts but she sat in SugarCube corner, feeling defeated. She had to know how to win that beautiful mare over.

She just had to.

Author's Note

This is my very first chapter, and I would love to know any views on it. I also want to give a shout-out to my sort-of editors Emily and Alice. Will Twilight ask for her friends help? Will she remember to bake the cupcakes with Pinkie? Find out in the next chapter of Tomber Amoureux :pinkiehappy: :heart: :twilightsmile:
