The fire gave a warm and gentle roar as it illuminated the shadows of the two ponies cozily nestled in front of it. It was evening, and although they had been snowed in all day, Trixie had to admit it: she hadn't had so much fun romantically, in her entire life! Sitting across from her, Twilight had the cutest expression on her face; her tongue hanging out, eyes closed with her mouth wide open. Directly in front of both of them were levitating mugs of cocoa; the one with the soft blue aura hovered in front of Twilight, and the one with the gentle purple aura floated in front of Trixie. Trixie grinned quietly and glanced down at the bag of mini-marshmallows sitting next to her and plucked one into the air. It hovered there for a moment, cradled by her magic, before it arced itself towards Twilight's face. It bounced off of the little unicorn's nose and the purple pony gave a helpless giggle.

"You missed, my turn!" She squeaked, collecting a marshmallow of her own which she tossed towards Trixie enthusiastically, who had copied the same pose Twilight had moments ago. The confectionery wobbled through the air and missed Trixie by a mile. Instead, it splattered messily into a cup of cocoa sitting in front of her, resulting in deliciously chocolate splash damage all over Trixie's muzzle.

"Bonus!" Twilight cheered. Trixie grinned quietly and leaned forward, and Twilight claimed her bonus prize. She took her time, leaning in to slowly dot her lips along Trixie's cheeks, suckling at her fur and the cocoa flavoring it at the same time. Trixie closed her eyes and gave a warm sigh and tried to fight the urge to kiss Twilight back.

She failed. Miserably.

They tussled for a bit, rolling over one and other with words and giggles melting into loving kisses and gentle squeezes.

The mares perked their ears. Was that...the door...? The two peered at each other curiously, before Twilight glanced at the door with a bewildered expression.

"Come in?" Trixie squeaked, tugging herself out from underneath Twilight. The front door to the library shifted and twitched, shuddering before it was forcefully opened from the outside and the boxy muzzle of a rescue stallion poked his head in.

"You filly's alright in here?!" he called out. Trixie gave her disheveled mane a toss, flicking an errant strand of silver out of her face and flashed a charming grin.

"We're fine. Just fine! Thank you." she grinned. Twilight tossed a lazy smile at the pony clad in rescue gear and nodded her head.

"Yes, we're just fine. I'm sure there are other ponies in town that need help more than we do. We'll just...sit tight." She murmured with a cozy churr. The Rescue pony paused at this, looking around the room at the baked cookies, the blanket and gently flickering fire, and the two ponies who were nestled together. He smiled.

"We'll be back in a few hours." he chuckled, and gently closed the door back. Trixie and Twilight immediately burst into giggles, before Twilight found herself pinned against the floor again from a sudden tackle.

"Twilight, this is urgent! The rescue ponies will be here in a few hours! Until then We MUST conserve our body heat!!" Trixie wailed, nuzzling into Twilight's neck. The purple prodigy wrapped her forelegs lovingly around Trixie and kissed the tip of her horn.

"Mmmm, I think I can figure out a solution for that." she giggled, losing herself in a feverish kiss from her mare friend.
