Author's note: I hope that now this story is not underrated/overrated. Especially after this chapter. And I also hope that there are not many mistakes in my english. Don't worry to let me know if you discover something.


After sending that letter, others left library to seek some privacy or place to sleep. Only Fluttershy remained here.

“Want to sleep with me?” I said quietly to her.

“No. I mean I want, but I cannot. I must go home and feed my pets.” she said.

“I will be awake for some time so if you will be feeling lonely, come.” I smiled to her.

“I will. Bye.” she whispered to my ear and kissed me. Then she left me alone in library.

I started reading some book about magic barriers. It was one of the oldest book in the library. After some pages, I started to feel tired so I took a quick bath. I was finishing a chapter, when I heard soft knocking. It was Fluttershy. I felt much happier, when I saw her again. I let her inside and returned back to book. She only laid next to me and dropped her head on my back. She quickly fell asleep. After I read another chapter, I carefully taken her by my magic and took her to my bed and covered her with blanket. She was lighter then I thought. It must have been that she is pegasus and she is allowed to fly or stand on clouds. I laid next to her and crawled under blanket too. I didn't even woke her up. I snuggled up to her. I quickly fell asleep too with her scent lightly tickling me in my nose.

She must have been really tired. I have woken up earlier then she. I sneaked out from her to prepare some breakfast. I took her breakfast to bed and woke her up with gentle poke with my nose.

“Wow, Twilight. You've made me breakfast in bed. Thanks.” she said with a blush on her cheeks when she have woken up.

“It's nothing, really.” I said quietly and kissed her and then she started to eat her breakfast.

“Sorry I have to leave so fast. My critters are used to have breakfast earlier so I don't want to startle them with not being there. I'll come when I will take care of them all, see you later.”  she said and left after she finished eating.

I started to have thoughts about relocating myself to her house. I was working in library, but I should be able to move opening hour to later. There is no need to hurry. I said to myself and buried that thoughts deep inside my mind. Finally Spike has woken up.

“Morning, Spike.” I greeted him, “Any letter from Princess?”

“Morning, Twi. From Princess? Nothing have came yet.” Spike answered.

“That's strange. Never mind, she maybe don't know what to say.” I said rather for myself. But some doubt inside me started to build pressure inside my mind.

It shouldn't be so hard to answer that letter. Am I right about that our feelings for each other are right? What if Princess disagree with me? She can banish all of us for taking our friendship too far. That wouldn't be that bad, but what if she banishes us sending us each on different place? She have never ignored my letter. What if she decide not to be my mentor any more?

I started pacing around library.

“What's happening? Is there something wrong?” Spike asked me. He must have noticed, because that quick clapping of hooves should be annoying especially in quiet library.

“No...really...nothing. I'm...just...nervous.” I managed to say.

“Is it about that letter?” Spike asked.

“Yes.” I said while I was still pacing around library. Walking didn't seem to be helping.

“You should really stop being worried about. She may have some of her royal duties.” Spike said.

“What if she didn't forgive me!” I yelled question, which was currently in my mind.

“What have you done something bad?” Spike asked with calm. His calm was frustrating and she obviously wasn't following my mind. I saw that situation hopeless.

“AAAARRH!” I growled desperately and sprinted out.

When I opened eyes, I was out of Ponyville. That desperate growl and sprint calmed me  somehow. I took few deep breaths to clear my head. Sometimes Spike have been unable to follow her mind, but it's not his fault. I should apologize him. He was trying to help me. I said to myself. Then I slowly headed up back to library trying not to think about anything, especially about letter.

“Sorry, Spike. I shouldn't have freaked out like this.” I said, when I returned to the library.

“It's fine. Don't worry about this at least. You should really relax more. I think Princess knows that you haven't done anything bad. You should go help Fluttershy with her creatures to stop think about the letter. And don't worry, I'll take care of library.” Spike said.

“Ooh, thanks, Spike.” I said.

“It's nothing. Just go and try to relax.” Spike said and started to clean up some books. I left him and sprinted to Fluttershy's cottage. I wanted to be with her, but especially I wanted to forget about all my worries. Being with my friends always helped me to forget about my worries and I was able to completely forget about all my worries, when I was with Fluttershy a day ago.

“Oh...my, what happened?” Fluttershy asked when I came.

“Nothing...really.” I managed to say before I started to try catching my breath. I had been running all the way to her.

She waited till I calmed myself a bit, “Why have you been running then?” she asked.

“I discovered that it's great way to clean my head. I think I now understand to Rainbow and her love of flying.” I said. I realized that I'm all cowered in sweat. It gave my cheek a bit more red color.

“Was there something bothering you? Or you had enough of your books?” she quietly asked. She must knew that I was worried about something. She came closer and started to rub my neck with her cheek. She stopped for a moment and I noticed that she is breathing deeply. She is enjoying that I'm nearly covered in sweat? I asked myself and my cheeks turned completely red.

“No...it's just that I was worried about the letter and Princess's reaction.” I whispered and slowly cuddled her up to me. We lost balance and fell to the grass. We laid together in glass in tight hug, enjoying that gorgeous moment. I closed my eyes. I felt happy.

“I must finish tending the creatures. Wanna help?” she asked me quietly. She whispered that to my ear.

“Of coarse. I'm glad to help you. What should I do?” I asked and opened my eyes. Her head was right before me. Her beautiful eyes, soft mane. I was still able to see some shyness in her eyes. We gazed at each other with smile. I tried to look deeply in her eyes. Some books were saying that there is possible to see somepony's soul through her or his eyes and I was trying. I knew that books was classified as fiction, but I also knew that this must have came from somewhere. I knew that there must have been inspiration for that. Every romance book was inspired by someone's feeling, because they described exactly most her feelings.

“Hmm...we really should take care of the rest of your animals before we start doing anything else.” I said quietly. I hated to break our lovely moment.

“Oh, my...you are right.” she said quietly and started to get up, “I just need to check snakes and then collect eggs from my chickens.”

“Well...I think I'll gonna collect these eggs.” I said.

“I know you are afraid of snakes. I'll be back in no time. Have fun with chickens.” she said and we split.

There were five eggs in hen house. I carefully grabbed them with my magic and brought them inside. I put them on the shelf in Fluttershy's kitchen. Few moments after, Fluttershy came.

“Now, we have nearly whole day for ourselves.” she said with smile.

Canterlot, Princess Celestia's quarters

“Good day, my aunt. You wanted to see me?” Candance, pink alicorn, asked.

“Yes. I think, they are ready. They sent me a letter. I think, that you are more fitting for what I'm going to present you. But you should read the letter first.” Princess Celestia said and passed the letter to Cadance.

“I don't know what to say. I'm happy for them. What are you going to present me?” Cadance asked after she read that letter.

Princess Celestia started to explain her plan. After she finished explaining, Cadance looked very happy.

“Fine, I agree. I think I have an idea. Let me just take one book in library.” Cadance said and left for a while. Celestia prepared parchment, inkwell and quill.

After few hours back in Ponyville

“I should go to give my animals some food. The sun is going down.” Fluttershy whispered softly, caressing my mane with her hoof.

“I think I'll go back in library. I hope you will get there soon. I have a feeling that I have a letter waiting there for us all.” I said quietly and while I was nuzzling her neck. I gave her a passionate and long kiss.

I was right. When I came back, there was really thick letter waiting for me. After an hour, other girls gathered up in library. When we were ready, we opened that letter.

My most faithful student.

I, Princess Celestia was thinking about your letter quite a long time. I came to that I will split my mentor's duty between me and my niece Cadance. From now on, you will still be reporting your findings on magic of friendship to me, but in addition, you will report your findings on magic of love straightly to Princess Cadance. The rules are staying the same. Write us when and only when you discover something. My niece is looking forward to your first letter to her.

I'm sending you copy of the spell, which will allow you to sent your findings directly do Cadance and a letter written only by her to you all.

I'm glad that you are all happy and I wish you all a long and happy close relationships.

Sincerely,

Princess Celestia and Princess Cadence

“Hmm...there is nothing about our previous question. Strange. Let's check letter from Cadence.” I said and started to read second letter.

My dear sister and friends.

At first, I want to congratulate you to finding your special somepony. I wish you only luck, love and happiness. I was surprised, when Princess Celestia choose me to be your mentor in magic of love, but she said that I'm more experienced one. I want to reassure you, that you can write me anything in your letters. These letters are very private and I won't be showing them to anypony.

I write you this letter, because of your question. It's partly my work that you have found your special somepony so I want to apologize if I hurt anyone. I unintentionally cast a spell to boost everypony's feeling for their special somepony, but you already noticed that it was only a matter of time, when you find that feeling all by yourself.

From now on, I'm eagerly awaiting your letters. You successfully recognized that love is bigger force, then friendship. I want you to help with your relationships and this means that I'm here to give you some advice to avoid hurting yourselves, restoring and improving your relationships so don't hesitate to write to me if you want to know anything.

We almost forget to write you that the Elements of Harmony are radiating with new and stronger energy. That only proves that your love is part of harmony and you shouldn't be afraid of.

With love,

Cadence.

PS: I hope, you tried to kiss each other. It's great, you should start with this.

“Well...I think that proves, that princesses knows about greatness of kissing.” I said with my cheeks whole red.

“We should say thanks to Cadence.” Rarity said.

“Well I think we should try writing a letter to her. I'm curious what is that spell she sent us.” I said and started to study the third parchment. I realized that there was much more quiet then normally, then I saw the reason. Dash and Pinkie was in middle of great-looking kiss. Finally somepony, who can keep Pinkie without talking for more than five minutes. I thought and then I giggled at that thought. Fluttershy looked at me with question in her face. I whispered her my thought and she giggled too.
