Chapter 4: Dating May Lead To A Revelation

Twilight thought that dating would be as easy as casting a simple spell, but that would soon bite her in the butt, big time. Being Twilight, she first read every single book on dating. She practiced dating edict with Spike, which lead to some awkward situations. She also got dating tips from her friends, mostly from Rarity. "Remember Twilight," said Rarity during another discussion about dating, "boys sometimes aren't good listeners, but you should continue a conversation." Twilight, meanwhile, was writing down notes as Rarity was giving her tips. After getting enough information, Twilight felt she was ready....

...until she actually went on the date Pinkie Pie had setup.

Twilight instantly got bored when on that first date. The guy Pinkie setup with Twilight, Scented Pines, was, for a lack of a better term, an obsessive neat freak. Always talking about his soap collection, 101 different ways to clean out a stain, and other things that Twilight couldn't stand. "Well, that's just one flub-up, hopefully the next one is better." Twilight said after coming home from that disaster called a date. Well, Twilight was about to be wrong, over and over again. Next was a guy who kept talking about how much he loves to work out. Then there was the guy who had bad breath. Then, to top them all off, there was a guy who care nothing more then to admire himself. "UGH!" Twilight said coming home from another failed attempt at a date, "I'm gonna kill Pinkie Pie for theses sideshows she calls eligible bachelors!" "Oh, come on Twilight," said Spike in a reassuring voice, "maybe Pinkie saving the best for last." Twilight then replied as she was getting ready for bed, "Phft, yea right, and I'm gonna be the mayor of Crazytown." Spike then said, "Your running for mayor of Crazytown?" Twilight shook her head and gave Spike a hug goodnight.

As Twilight was about to go to sleep, she heard Spike's letter delivery spell go off. "Could that be from...." Twilight thought as she ran downstairs to Spike's room. As Twilight opened the door, Spike had a worried look on his face. Twilight asked Spike what was wrong and it turns out Princess Luna had sent Twilight a letter. "Well, what's it about?" said Twilight. Spike sighed and said, "It's about Princess Celestia." Twilight, now with a worried look on her face, snatched the letter and started to read it. It read:

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

I'm sorry to write this letter so late, but this is about my sister. She is in what seems to be an endless depression. She hasn't eaten in 3 days and any attempts to cheer her up cause her to think about you, which is making her even more depressed. I hope soon, and if not, very soon, you can come up here and talk some sense into her.

Sincerely,

Princess Luna

Twilight was distraught at this news. The princess is depressed because of....me? Twilight then jumped back to reality and gave Spike a big hug after noticing he was starting to cry, telling him that Celestia was going to be alright. But as Twilight was about to go to sleep, she thought to herself, "I hope your alright princess, I know you'll be able to pull out of this." With that, Twilight was finally able to get to sleep. However, the dream she had was different from any other dreams she's had before. In it, she was sitting on a hill...with Princess Celestia. Her and the princess were just sitting there, until they started kissing each other, and for some reason...Twilight was enjoying it. She was basically having one of the best dreams she had in years and had a peacefully goodnight sleep.

One Week Later

Twilight was basically about to give up on dating until Pinkie Pie made one more recommendation. "Oh come on Twilight! This one has perfection written all over it." said Pinkie Pie after coming over to the library. "NO!" Twilight shouted, "I'm just done with dating right now." "Alright then, I guess I was right." Pinkie said with her sly grin. "What are you talking about Pinkie?" said Twilight. "Well, you couldn't find any chemistry with the guys I set you up with, so I guess I was right, you are a lesbian!" Pinkie exclaimed. Twilight then got mad and said "Fine Pinkie, lay it on me! Who's next!"

Well, Pinkie was right. The guy she set up for Twilight, who's name was Leo Star, was actually perfect in every sense of the word. He was smart, funny, a good listener, and other attributes that Twilight would find in a guy. He would seem like the perfect guy for her. In fact, the date they were on was going pretty well. "So then I said that book was in the unlisted section." said Twilight, "But it was actually on the nonfiction shelf!" Twilight and Leo were hitting it off well until Twilight got silent. "Hey Twilight, you OK?" said Leo. Twilight then replied, "Huh..what...oh, yea I'm OK, just...kinda...." But Twilight then thought back to the dreams she has been having lately. It took her a while to figure out but then her face lit up. Twilight then said, "Well Leo, thanks for the dinner, but I have to go." Twilight then left leaving Leo confused.

Twilight ran as fast as she could to get home. When she got there, she noticed all of her friends were all ready here. "Wait..how did you all..." Twilight asked until Spike said he let them in. Twilight then said, "Well girls, it's good you are all here because, I have something to admit." The Mane 5 were all intrigued except for Pinkie Pie, who knew what Twilight was gonna say. "Well I lost the bet because....well...."

"I think I'm in love with Celestia."

Pinkie then spoke up in a sing-song voice "I'm sorry Twilight, but what did you say?" Twilight, annoyed, said louder, "I think I'm in love with Celestia!" The Mane 5, sans Pinkie Pie who was bouncing up and down exclaiming "I KNEW IT!", were in a complete shock. Applejack was the first to speak up, "Well, it took you long enough Twi!" Rarity followed, "I agree, it's about time you came out and said it." Pinkie Pie then gave Twilight a hug and said, "I knew it. I knew the author was going to this, despite it being kind of rushed, but still, I knew you were a lesbian!" Twilight, smiling,then pulled Pinkie off and said, "OK, OK, I admit, I'm a lesbian for Faust's sake!" Fluttershy then asked Twilight how she figured out her sexuality. That's when Twilight got a bit embarrassed but told them about Luna's letter she got the week before and how she then was worried about Celestia and the multiple dreams about her and Celestia doing romantic things. "Basically, I felt...happy and that I wanted to be with her." Twilight said as she finished her story. Fluttershy then said, "Oh, it's just like something out of a romance novel!" The others agreed with Fluttershy's statement. "Well, that's settles it Twilight, go to her." said Applejack. Twilight wonder why, then Applejack said, "Well, you now love her and she has always lo..." All of the sudden, Spike burped out a letter. Twilight grabbed it and saw it was from Princess Luna. When she started to read it, I didn't give off good news.

Dear Twilight,

Things have gotten worse than worse. First off, Celestia hasn't said a word to me, not to mention, she looks like as though someone has died. Then, as soon as dinner was done, I went to check up on her, and she...she's...

The rest of the letter was full of tear drops, but nether the less, it was still eligible.

She has locked her doors with a powerful lock spell that I can't get rid off, not only that, she also locked all of the windows and had the curtains magically closed. I fear the worst, but I still have hope. Please Twilight, come to Canterlot Castle as soon as possible before things get worse!

Princess Luna

Twilight was now scared, and so were her friends and Spike. Celestia locking all of her doors or windows, shutting herself from her sister and anyone else who could help her. Now Twilight was even more confident to go to Canterlot. But just as she was stepping out of her front door, another letter came out of Spike's mouth. This one was from....Princess Celestia. The Mane 6 gasped, what was Celestia doing writing letters in such a depression. But as soon as Twilight opened the letter, she had a the feeling of shock, sadness, and fear all going through her. The others were wondering what was in it, leaving Twilight to read it out loud. The letter read as follows.

To my former student Twilight,

This will be the last time you or anyone else will hear from me. When I watched you grow from a young girl who I saw as the daughter I never had to a beautiful mature woman, I wanted to be with you until time stopped. But because of your rejection, I cant take this pain anymore. I have no choice but to end my life, if only to end this excruciating pain. I will never forget you Twilight, and I will always love you, my sister, and my subjects. One more thing, please keep them safe.

Goodbye forever,

Princess Celestia

Author's Note

HOLY CRAP! When did this get dark! I thought that this was going to be a romance fic that had lots of sex later on, not a romance fic with a dark situation! My god!

But don't worry guys, this is not the end of the story, but sadly I gonna have to give you this cliffhanger for now and take a weekend long break. This chapter kinda took a lot out of me.

BTW, I admit to this being a rushed part of the story, but after this chapter is where the good stuff comes in.

So, yea don't forget to read and review. Like always, give me constructive criticism.

(Also, those two OC characters at the beginning and middle, yea, they're just one-shot characters.)
