before you start reading this, I suggest you turn on the "color inversion". If you have an idea of what it is, that's good. But otherwise, you access it by.

Searching "Magnifier" -> after opening it, set zoom to 100% (if it already isn't) then click the gear thingy(settings) ->click "Turn on color inversion"
and voila, you have inverted colors. If you want to close it, just close the magnifier.
Keep in mind that this does not affect your computer in anyway other than seeing all the colors inverted-in short-It's totally safe

Chapter 1

As the sun traveled behind the mountains and the birds back to their warm homes, the moon rose slowly to replace its sister alongside shimmering stars. Night crept up on Ponyville bearing cold hands. More often than not, lanterns were blown out, lights switched off, and darkness allowed to spread across everypony’s rooms until all of Equestria was swallowed up by darkness, only countered by the soft glow of the moon.

It was time.

Pinkie Pie stood in the middle of the Everfree Forest with a large brown sack in one hoof and a matchstick in the other. She looked at the stack of firewood neatly arranged in front of her and lit it up with the match. She then pulled out a large cauldron and carefully placed it atop the fire. She added water and a multitude of ingredients she had acquired from Sugarcube Corner and stirred them all together until the contents of the pot turned to a sickly shade of slime green.

“This is sure to work,” Pinkie menacingly smiled, “there’s no doubt that the powerful deity that controls the balance of Equestria will show itself before me, and then after me—but wait! If the deity shows itself to me, then won't there be no balance in Equestria for a teeny tiny second? Should I stop? Will Equestria suddenly tilt to one side if I succeed? But Ponyville isn’t in the center... no, maybe it is? I should look at my map!” Pinkie pulled a brown parchment from her mane and examined it.

“Ponyville isn’t in the center!” Pinkie exclaimed with wide eyes. She suddenly snapped back to reality when a drop of the green slime landed on her hoof. “Ow, that hurt!" she gasped, "Oh right, I was doing something!”.

Pinkie took out a number of objects from her sack—some of which Pinkie knew did not belong to the world of Equestria.

“Hmm, an Applejack plushie made by ‘4de’?" Pinkie eyed the rest of the contents. Two stand-outs were a black rectangular paper with the words ‘Steam Gift Card, 50$’ and a different kind of black rectangle, this time made of a hard material with a certain portion covered in glass. Pinkie was unsure whether Zecora’s instructions were going to work, but she knew she had to try.

Pinkie picked up the strange rectangular-

WHOA whoa whoa... wait. Is that a Wacom Cintique 24HD Pen Display? That’s awesome! Holy sh-

“Aha!” Pinkie shouted “There you are author!”

What? Is she talking to me?

“Yes I’m talking to you! Listen! I need your help with my friend-“

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a large gust of wind which contained powder from amnesia flowers passed by Pinkie’s muzzle. She wobbled a bit at the intoxicating smell of the powder and began to slowly-

“Hey! That’s not what I’m doing!” Pinkie shouted,

A few meters from her a pack of timberwolves-

“Stop it!” Pinkie exclaimed

Her shout was in vain, because miles away an earth-

“Hey!” Pinkie waved at the stars.

Tirek broke loose from-

Pinkie suddenly grabbed the pen tablet with her hooves and prepared to smash the 24HD exclusive-extremely-expensive tablet on to the ground with her full power (which was more than enough to break the item) and-

Fine! You win, just... just put the pen down Pinkie. Tell me everything.

“Well, it all started when I woke up-“

On second thought make a one liner out of it.

Pinkie opened her mouth to draw in breath, “Twilight likes Rainbow Dash but she can’t find a way because she has never had any experiences with this and this is really bothering me and bothering all of Equestria because it’s getting worse and worse because now because Heart’s and Hooves day is just by the corner and she’s afraid that Rainbow doesn’t like her back and she’ll be alone and sad and more sad even more sadder than the saddest mare that EVER EXISTED-“

Pinkie, I get the point.

“-and I can’t take that you know because she’s my friend and I feel really bad if any of my friends feel bad and I’m just 'I HAVE TO HELP THEM'-“

Pinkie, just-

"-BECAUSE I'M THEIR FRIEND and then I asked Oatmeal about it and he didn't reply so I was like 'Oatmeal are you crazy'-'"

Pinkie! I get it ok? I get your point.

“You do?” Pinkies eyes went wide.

At the very least the main idea, Yes, Pinkie, I do. ~~Just get on with it~~ Now what in the world do you want me to do?

Pinkie rubbed her hooves together with menacing eyes and a devilish look on her face, “Nothing much hehehe.”

Chapter 2

“I-I like you, Rainbow Dash, ever since we met on the morning of the Summer Sun Celebration I’ve felt this tug in my heart whenever I see you. And I-“ Twilight blushed as she imagined Rainbow’s reaction to her confession, sighing, she shook her head and flipped back the body-sized mirror in her room. Twilight looked down at the crystal tiles, face still hot from her “practice” and grabbed a scroll to eye its contents. Sighing again, she laid down the scroll and proceeded towards the exit.

“Hey, Twilight! Do you still remember where I placed the scale shine? I kind of need it for tonight, who knows? Rarity might be there with no special somepony!” Spike burst through the door carrying some books only to be greeted by Twilight’s drooping face. Spike examined Twilight closely before coming to a conclusion, “Rainbow again huh? Listen, Twilight, you gotta stop beating around the bush and just straight up confess to her in tonight’s party. Forget that speech you wrote in that dusty old scroll and tell her how you feel, how you really feel. I’m pretty sure she feels the same way.”

“But what if she says no?” Twilight responded.

Spike waved his claw, “Just cross that bridge when you get there.”

“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to,” Twilight drew circles with her hoof, “Cross the bridge I mean, or move on. So maybe I shouldn’t confess- to keep our friendship intact.”

“Friendship shmendship, think about the future, Twilight, you and Rainbow, sitting on the couch snuggling with each other until one of you falls asleep. Wouldn’t that be great?” Spike then grabbed a chair and did a little tango with it. He looked at it with wanting eyes and laid it gently on the floor. Spike carefully caressed the stool and mimicked Rainbow’s voice. “Hey, Twilight, it’s getting really hot in here... how about... we let off some steam—“

“Spike!” Twilight levitated the chair away from Spike’s arms and glared at him. However, she soon fell to the floor with her face covered by her front hooves. No matter how inappropriate Spike’s dialogue was, her brain still managed to process the breath-taking scenery that Spike described. Thinking about it brought a rush of blood into her cheeks.

“Come on, Twilight, you know better than I do how much you want for this to happen. See? You can’t even look me in the eye.” Spike waved his claws in front of Twilight.

"I know," Twilight said, her blushing face still covered by her hooves, "I want...that too, it's just that— ugh! I can't think straight with this... this" she pointed both of her hooves to herself.

"Relax, Twilight, everything's going to be fine. What about the chocolates you made for her? I'm sure she'd love those."

Twilight pointed to a small red box with printed hearts on top of the table beside her bed. Spike grabbed the box and started carefully undoing the nicely done ribbon around it. "See? I'm sure Rainbow will like—" Spike opened the box completely, exposing crumbled parts of black... volcano fragments? "—Um, Twilight, where's the chocolate?"

"Don't you get it Spike? That is the chocolate!" Twilight levitated a blanket, wrapped it around her, and then rolled left and right. "Ohhh, I don't know! I messed up when I was making those, or rather, my nervousness got the best of me and I just put in what I thought would make it better."

Spike looked at the charred "chocolate" and grabbed a small piece. "It can't be that bad right?" Spike threw the piece in his mouth and finished it in one gulp. Not more than a second later, his face became distorted and he fell on the floor while his claws rushed to his stomach. Ugh, I feel violated, it takes real skill and natural talent to make something so bad it hurts a dragon's stomach , Spike tried his best to smile at the wrapped-up Twilight, "As I said, she'll... love it." He tried to resist the urge to go to the bathroom and just spill the beans there, literally.

"You really think so?" Twilight unwrapped herself and looked at Spike's eyes for confirmation.

"Yeah!... you totally got this in the bag," Spike said, facing away from Twilight to hide the claws gripping his stomach.

Twilight's eyes shone and Spike saw new-found confidence in her. "Thanks Spike! I knew I could count on you, my number one assistant!" Twilight ran to her closet and rummaged through her formal clothing and searched for the perfect dress to wear for this night's Heart's and Hooves celebration at ~~the Town Square~~ the royal ball in Canterlot.

Spike's eyes darkened as he stared at Twilight's critically evaluate each dress she had in her wardrobe, "what have I done..."

"Achoo!" Princess Celestial wiped her muzzle with a tissue. For some reason, she had subconsciously ordered the guards to inform the Heart's and Hooves day celebration planners to move the venue of the celebration in Ponyville to the royal ball in Canterlot. ~~Something was wrong, she knew that the celebration was supposed to be held in Ponyville where everything was much simpler and less grand~~ Everything felt right, Celestia knew that the Heart's and Hooves day required the same attention that both the gala and the Summer Sun Celebration did- even if she never had a special somepony in her whole life.

A tear crept outside her eye. Maybe, just maybe I could hold off the celebration until I find my special somepony No, my tears I will not shed, I must stay strong in face of grief, for my people. She gathered her resolve and stood high on her throne.

As Celestia watched over Canterlot from the palace windows, the doors suddenly burst open and a guard came running through. "Princess Celestia, your highness, we have a problem." The guard took in deep breaths, he had sprinted towards the princess the moment he had received the urgent news. "A curse has descended upon Equestria- to the elements of harmony."

"Tell me more," Celestia said, her tone dead serious, and the guard proceeded to tell her about the matter in hand- only taking a few seconds break to breathe. After hearing the news, Celestia ordered, "Get me my pen! I must contact Twilight as soon as possible!"

"Ugh," Spike grumbled as he sensed something build up in his stomach, he quickly stood up and burped out a brown parchment tied with a red ribbon and sealed with a gold coin. "Twilight! Its a letter from the princess!" He called.

Twilight, who was busy looking over all her gowns to find the one that she thought Rainbow would like the most, looked over her shoulder and saw the letter Princess Celestia had sent. Why did the Princess send me a letter now? Ohhh I hope it won't disrupt my plans with Rainbow tonight. Twilight enveloped the parchment in purple magic and brought it towards her. She undid the red ribbon after removing the seal and carefully read its contents.

My Dearest Student Twilight Sparkle,

It has come to my attention that a curse has befallen you and your friends, the wielders of the elements of harmony. A wizard from the far North has informed me that he had sensed a disruption in the flow of universal magic, and that interference with Equestria's energy had a unique side-effect on the most powerful forces that currently exist- the elements of harmony- specifically those who control them.

The effects of the curse are not yet known, but be wary, for the wizard had predicted that the curse will take effect when midnight dawns on Equestria and will last until the flow of magic has become stable.

Midnight, the exact time that ~~the celebration ends~~ the fireworks display starts. I hope it doesn't affect the schedule, but Princess Celestia said it herself right? That the curse would only affect the six wielders of the elements of harmony. There should be absolutely no reason for her to cancel or even change any part of the schedule, right?

Twilight winced. She wanted to be with Rainbow during that beautiful moment and finally convey to her the feelings that she had kept for her for as long as she can remember.Twilight wanted Rainbow to realize just how much she meant to her by telling her how much she liked her ever since that time at preparation of the Summer Sun Celebration. She wanted to express her love for her best friend and her extreme attraction to both her strong, rigid body and her egocentric yet fragile attitude. Twilight thought that her confession would have the most impact on Rainbow during the amazing fireworks display- which is why, the show must go on.

"Twilight!" Spike called out. He was frantically swinging his claws in front of Twilight, he had been trying to get her attention for at least a minute. Spike finally stopped when he realized Twilight's focus was now on him and away from her own "dream world." He panted as he held his knees for a few seconds before pointing at the clock beside Twilight's bed. "It's 9 o' clock! the party starts in half an hour!"

"R-right! 9 o' clock!" Twilight stuttered as she shuffled through all her dresses and finally picked the one Rarity originally made for her during the fashion show. This will have to do. "I hope she likes this," Twilight mumbled as she put on the star-patterned gown.

"Let's go!" Spike ran towards the door and held it open for Twilight- only to be slammed into the walls as she opened the door herself; she had been too busy checking her checklist for tonight's party to realize Spike's presence. Spike doozily walked towards the carriage provided by Celestia herself. ~~They weren't supposed to use the carriage but-~~ The carriage was convenient for the two passengers as it was driven by four pegasi who belonged to the royal guard. As they positioned themselves firmly on the seats of the carriage, they felt the strong movement of the pegasi's wings and the carriage slowly levitated from the ground. After a few moments, they were high up in the dark sky headed towards the bright palace stationed in the mountains.

"Here we go..." Twilight whispered to herself, she stared at the Canterlot palace from afar and took a deep breath,"You can do this, Twilight"

The royal ball was blanketed by warm yellow light. The atmosphere it expressed was not one of excitement and action, but of passion and romance. Around the ballroom, tables laid out with white clothing and vases with a single red rose were scattered. There were exactly two seats in each table, and ponies were forbidden to either increase or decrease that number. Octavia was playing on top of a brown stage with a couple of violinists; Vinyl's absence implied that the aim of the ball was not to excite the body or the mind, but to excite the heart. Waves of soothing notes followed one after the other around the ballroom. It was a recreation of a formal event, but was centered around something far more valuable than business- love. In the middle of the ballroom, a large number of ponies gathered to chat with their friends and families. Those that wanted to spend some time alone with their special somepony went back to their table and enshrouded themselves with a silence bubble which deleted all sound waves that approached it other than Octavia's, this was a special service provided by ~~the author~~ Princess Luna herself.

"Wow, this looks absolutely beautiful," Twilight scanned the ballroom and saw the ornate walls and gleaming decorations along with the crystal tableware. "They even followed a specific theme for this celebration," Twilight poked a heart-shaped balloon and observed it as it wobbled and swayed before returning back to its state of rest.

"I know... she's absolutely gorgeous..." Spike eyes turned into hearts as he saw the white figure in the middle of a crowd. It didn't even take him a single second to single out the little, petite pony from the other colts and mares; after all, he could spot her from way over the other side of Equestria.

"Yes, I'm glad you appreciate and respect the efforts of those who organized this celebration and made it possible- wait, did you just say she?" Twilight traced Spike's eyes to a white figure wearing a pink gown with purple frills and flowers embedded on the skirt. She stared at him for a few seconds and confirmed that he was definitely in a trance. "Oh, I see" Twilight gave a sly smile; she raised a hoof and waved out into the crowd.

"Wait-" Spike tried to stopped Twilight, but it was too late, she had already called out to Rarity and invited her over to them.

"Darling, Twilight, it's very nice to see you here at the celebration- and spike too!" Rarity exlclaimed, "but this celebration is for ponies with a special somepony, what are you doing here Twilight?" Rarity raised an eyebrow

Twilight shifted positions and looked at her hooves, "Um...organizing! Yes! I'm here as a—"

"She was pwanning to comfesh to shomepony tonight" Spike interrupted with his mouth full of crystal fruits, he missed Twilight's "don't tell her" signal when he went for the gems on a roaming waiter's tray.

Rarity's eyes suddenly turned to that of a hungry gossiper. "what did you say? confess? Dear you must tell me all about it! YOU MUST!" she slowly walked towards Twilight with a slightly unnatural smile for a lady.

"Well..." Twilight trailed off, she took this as a sign to leave and darted away to the opposite side of the ballroom to escape from Rarity's manic interrogation. I'm so sorry Spike, Twilight thought as she dashed away from her two friends.

Rarity stared at Twilight as she zoomed out of her vision, "well, she must really be excited for the confession." She turned her gaze towards spike. "Well then, Spike will you be a dear and answer a few questions for me?" Rarity's eyes suddenly reverted back to her "gossip form."

Spike gulped and felt his heart rate increase, help.

"Princess!" the guard burst through the golden door as he rushed to find Princess Celestia, "I've received news from the wizard of the North about the nature of the curse!" He carefully laid down his saddlebags filled with various reports and statistical analysis on the disruption of Equestria's energy.

The Princess, staring at the lively ballroom from her throne using "see-through" magic, quickly stood up and looked at the guard with her usual authoritative face. She levitated the parchments to her and viewed each one of them with scrutiny. Her eyes widened at the results of the reports and the nature of the curse in question.

"That's it?" The results were enough to break Princess Celestia's composure and professionalism and had made her question the importance of Equestrian magic.

Twilight walked around in search of a mare with a Rainbow-colored mane and a cyan coat. Part of her wished that she would appear in front of her just like that, while the other wished she wouldn't. Twilight wondered where Rainbow could have been, she'd searched the whole ballroom and failed to locate the one pony she wanted to find.

Maybe she didn't go here... Twilight thought, after all, Rainbow's not the type to attend these "mushy" celebrations. She gave up her search in the ballroom and walked outside to the balcony.

Twilight walked to the edge where she could at the very least enjoy the beautiful fireworks show. However, a large crowd was beginning to gather at the vantage point of the fireworks and Twilight struggled to acquire a good spot to watch the show. She remedied the situation by flying to the top of the palace balcony. She didn't really need to fly to the balcony to see the fireworks, she could have just politely asked for space and the crowds would have dissipated like mist. However, she wanted to be alone. She stared at the lively crowd before her and thought that she was the only pony without a special somepony.

Twilight sighed as she stared at the palace clock. One hour before the fireworks, Twilight sat down, but her eyes weren't fixated on the night sky, they were glued to the stone-cold floor. At least Spike still has hope for Rarity, even if he obviously got rejected once Twilight thought, which only reinforced the pain she was trying to avoid.

Suddenly, she felt a hoof rest on her shoulder.

"Hey, princess," a voice behind her said, "What's up with the sad face?" Twilight jumped up out of surprised and turned around to see who the pony was.

Rainbow Dash.

Twilight's cheeks started flaming at the sight of the cyan mare in a patterned dress in front of her. Her empty eyes were soon rejuvenated by the beautiful sight. She couldn't help but stare at Rainbow's well-done mane and hair. Twilight was downright speechless.

Twilight waited for Rainbow's reply; none came. She failed to realize the Rainbow was blushing if not as much, more than she was. Her eyes were wide open and her hooves were frozen in place. Twilight on the other hand couldn't keep her hooves from fidgeting with her skirt as she looked at Rainbow and then the floor.

Rainbow was too fixated on Twilight's dress and the beautiful mare wearing it to realize her own cheeks turning hot and Twilight having the same condition. She attempted to compliment Twilight and her looks, but seemed to stumble on her words and decided to just wait for Twilight to initiate the conversation.

"What has thou gotten from the reports of the North wizard," Luna asked Celestia, who was busy wondering if she will forever be alone raising the sun and the moon for all the ponies in Equestria. "Sister! What has thou found about the curse?" Luna asked again, this time implementing a tone of urgency.

Celestia broke off from her daydream and stared at her sister. " The curse is complicated, and so are it's effects, but I believe that the overall result of the curse on the friendship of Twilight and her friends will be minimal."

"Pray tell."

"The curse creates a bond among a the six wielders of the elements of harmony. It creates a bridge which allows the transmission of thoughts to one another- in short,- whatever they think of will be heard by the other." Celestia paused for second, "However, it is not simple mind-reading, only certain thoughts of the ponies will be transmitted and will only be transmitted randomly among the six. It depends entirely on the flow of Equestria's energy"

Luna was beginning to understand what Celestia was saying, "So thou sayest that if the kind Fluttershy were to think of the phrase 'Help me' and a disruption of the flow of Equestrian magic was present, then her thoughts would be heard from by her loyal acquaintances depending on how the flow of energy was disrupted."

"Yes," Celestia responded, "and the ponies themselves would know who has heard their thoughts and who has not."

"I see, thou has gotten my interest dear sister..." Luna spoke.

"Hi, Rainbow! um... what are you doing here?" Twilight gave a nervous chuckle while staring at her silver horseshoes, she tried to look at Rainbow in the eyes but every time she tried, her face would heat up. Of course Twilight tried to hide the fact that she was overjoyed Rainbow actually came to the party. She felt relieved that her visit here wasn't in vain. However, she felt uneasy as to why Rainbow came to the celebration. Did somepony invite her? If not, why would she come? Twilight pushed these thoughts away and focused on the situation.

Rainbow looked away from Twilight and scratched her mane, "Well, it's a funny story, actually, I was looking for somepony."

"Huh? looking for somepony? But why were you late?" Twilight asked.

"How'd you know I was late?" Rainbow looked at Twilight in the eye, Twilight couldn't help but feel the blood rushing to her face as Rainbow's eyes scanned hers.

"Because... I was searching for you- you five! I mean, I couldn't spot either one of you in the party." Twilight responded, still refusing to look at Rainbow.

Rainbow's eyes dropped to the ground, like she expected a different answer. With a soft voice, she answered, "oh, ok..."

Now it was Twilight's turn to ask questions, "Sooooo, you were looking for somepony?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Um... it's nothing!" Rainbow drew her head back, looking sidewards as she bit her lower lip. After a few seconds she decided align her head to Twilight's and just spill the beans, "Alright, I was actually planning to confess to somepony tonight- and I heard that she would be attending the party so I dressed up as...this" she turned sideways to show Twilight her dress. It wasn't fancy nor was it too "cool", but Twilight thought it looked amazing on Rainbow.

"Aaaand..." Twilight tried to force the words out, "when were you planning to tell the lucky pony?" She gave her a forced smile and waited anxiously for Rainbow's reply.

"At midnight, when the fireworks starts," Rainbow sat down and looked up at the silver sky, "I really don't do much of this mushy stuff so I asked Rarity when it would be cool to confess to somepony and she told me there was this awesome fireworks show tonight. I thought about it for a while and decided that confessing to somepony on an awesome event would be so cool—" she pointed to herself and tapped three times in succession with her words "—Just. Like. Me."

Twilight chuckled for real this time, she was happy that the atmosphere was becoming less tense. She had no idea why Rainbow had seemed so... different just a minute ago, but it turns out that she probably felt weird wearing her dress. "Well then miss cool," Twilight motioned her to go sit beside her in the balcony, if Rainbow had to leave before midnight, then at the very least she wanted to spend a few minutes with her special somepony before she left. "Mind having a little chat with me before midnight?"

"Heh! you betcha Twi," Rainbow walked towards Twilight and gave her a friendly slap at the shoulders. "Wouldn't want to waste a minute with an amazing pony such as myself" She laughed.

Rainbow positioned herself beside Twilight and gazed at the flickering lights surrounding the palace. Being stationed on a mountain, the venue provided an excellent view of Canterlot and any village nearby from the top. Lights from the shops below glowed warm yellow, just like the ones in the ballroom. Together, they complemented the silver starry sky above. The flickering lights resulted from the constant movement of ponies in the streets below.

The celebration wasn't limited to the royal ball, but the invitation was extended to the whole of Equestria. Ponies from around the land came to Canterlot to experience the magnificent spectacles that are the fireworks. From afar, Twilight and Rainbow could clearly see the perfect mesh of lights in Canterlot. Majority of the lights were yellow, but some of the shopowners decided to spice up their shop by adding red and violet to their light scheme. This along with all the beautiful sceneries that The city provided created a harmonious mesh that bewildered many eyes. Twilight's and Rainbow's were no exception.

"Soooooo..." Rainbow put her hooves down to support her upper body, still keeping her eyes on Canterlot, "what's on your mind, Twi?"

"Well, To be honest, I actually came to the celebration for the same reason as you did." Twilight drew circles with her hoof.

Rainbow's eyes grew larger, "Someone told you about the grape-flavored daffodils?" She glared at the clouds, "Dammit! I was going to have them all for myself, but I guess sharing isn't so bad—"

"No, silly!" Twilight responded, she gave Rainbow a light punch at the shoulder. "I was going to- wait, you came here for the food?" She inspected Rainbow closely, "I thought you were going to confess to somepony."

"Well there's also that" Rainbow brought her hooves up to her shoulders.

"Rainbow! Love isn't something you can just do because there's a—"

"Relax, Twilight" Rainbow laughed, "I was just pulling your leg." She turned away from Twilight and mumbled 'egghead'.

"Is that so? Miss Dash" Twilight partially enveloped Rainbow's leg with a purple aura and literally pulled her off the ground and held her upside down.

"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry!" Rainbow clapped her hooves together.

Twilight let Rainbow down and continued to stare blankly at the stars. She noticed that Rainbow's face showed no expression, like she was in deep thought.

"So you're planning to confess to somepony tonight too?" Rainbow asked, fiddling with her wing in the process.

Twilight blushed a little, "I guess, but I'm not even sure if that somepony even likes me." Her eyes started to water at the thought of Rainbow confessing to some other pony other than her.

"C'mon Twilight, you're a pretty awesome mare. I'm sure the pony you confess to would definitely like you back." She rolled her eyes and looked back at Twilight. "I mean- you're a princess, a symbol of... well... what's that word again? Polly-teeks?"

"Poilitics" Twilight corrected

"Right," Rainbow jabbed a hoof at Twilight's chest, "You got the stuff in you to defeat demons, cure curses, and do all that princessy-hero stuff."

"But that's not what I want the pony I like to see in me." Twilight lowered her body to lie down on the floor while facing the stars. "I'm fine with being a symbol of power and royalty in Equestria, but I want the pony that I'm going to spend my life with to see me as...me. I want somepony that I can be myself around, drop all my royal duties and just enjoy picnics, dates, and watch movies with- like a normal pony"

Rainbow gave Twilight a reassuring smile. When she realized a tear dropping from Twilight's eye, she quickly and gently wiped it from her cheek and left her hoof cupping Twilight's cheek. She stared at Twilight for a moment before bringing her to a closed embrace.

Twilight felt butterflies in her stomach as she melted in Rainbow's firm hooves. She reminisced the memories she spent with Rainbow during her first day in Ponyville, during the wedding at Canterlot, up to the time she crash landed in her castle, again, just a few days ago.

Twilight remembered why she had liked Rainbow in the first place. Not only did Rainbow make her feel safe and secure around her, but she also served as a role model of what a "friend" should be. She remembered the times when she was left alone in the Golden Oaks library- when Spike and all her other friends were busy with their lives- Rainbow would randomly crash at her place and ruin her shelves. Of course Twilight was furious at first, but then as they arranged the books together, they would have all these "talks" about their personal issues. Twilight would vent out her stress as an organizer and Rainbow about her inferiority to the Wonderbolts.

The talks Twilight shared with Rainbow may have seemed minor, but to her, it was only in those moments that she could let out her personal frustrations and problems as a regular, normal pony and not some big figure in society.

Rainbow carefully caressed Twilight's mane. She drew her head back up to Twilight's ear and whispered, "Not everypony thinks of you as a royal princess, Twilight."

Twilight buried her face in Rainbow's neck to hide her blush, which only grew redder as she snuggled into Rainbow's comforting hold. She wished this moment would last longer, that midnight would never come so Rainbow would never have to leave her side ever again.

From the corner of her eyes, Twilight spotted a flash of light heading towards the sky. It traveled from below the palace grounds and race up to the blanket of darkness, illuminating its path. After a few seconds, it exploded into a beautiful color of yellow and purple and scattered it's fragments across the sky.

Yellow and purple, Princess Luna's and Princess Celestia's primary colors. Twilight thought. It signaled the start of the fireworks display in Canterlot and also the departure of a special somepony.

As the once-before silver sky started filling up with bright colors, Twilight felt Rainbow's hooves slowly losing grip on her back. No no no, it can't end like this. Twilight tried to push herself towards Rainbow, 'was this it?' Will this be the last time that she'll smell Rainbow's scent from this close? Will this be the last time that a hug ever felt this special? No, I don't want this, Rainbow, please-

Don't let go.

Suddenly, Rainbow pushed Twilight back but held on to her shoulders. Her eyes went wide from what seemed like shock. "T-Twi, did you say something?"

"No! I mean yes! ugh, I don't know!" Twilight responded. For some reason, she knew Rainbow had heard what she thought. It was like for that moment, their minds were connected and Twilight's thoughts were passed on to Rainbow. "But whatever you heard, it must probably be true." She went limp and looked at the ground.

Rainbow wasn't the smartest pony in all of Equestria, but she knew that voice in her head was Twilight's and that it wasn't from her imagination. it was like the words were directly jammed into her brain by some magical force. But from Twilight's answer, her guess was right, it was Twilight's thoughts that she heard in her mind.

Twilight brushed Rainbow's hooves off her shoulders and walked towards the balcony door. "I-I'm sorry Rainbow, I don't want to keep you here—"

"W-wait!" Rainbow rushed towards Twilight and placed both of her hooves in hers. "Is it true?"

"Yes! you see, the magic flow in Equestria is disrupting-"Rainbow put a hoof on Twilight's lips and looked at her with worried eyes.

"That's not what I'm talking about Twilight," Rainbow said, of course she was curious how in Equestria what happened just happened, but there was something more important now that needed her attention. Rainbow pointed at Twilight's chest. "I'm talking about this."

Twilight's gaze fell upon Rainbow; she felt herself getting hotter as she was closely examined by Rainbow Dash, "I-I—"

Kiss me, Rainbow

Twilight face burned red as she her thoughts were conveyed to Rainbow Dash, "W-wait—"

Kiss me!

"Noooo!" Twilight waved at the air, as if to drive away the intangible curse.

I love you Rainbow, ever since our first meeting, I can't stop thinking about you, I can't stop dreaming about you, I want to stay with you , I want you to stay with me, I want us to be together!

Twilight dropped to the floor and covered her blushing face with her hooves. Her face grew hotter than what it already was as she said- thought all those things.

All this time, it hurts to hear you talk about confessing to somepony else. It hurts to fall for you more and more each and every time I spend with you knowing that this may be the last time that I'll ever be this close to you. I want you Rainbow, and I can't help it. I want—

Suddenly, Twilight's mind went blank as she felt a strong force pull her off the ground and a pair of soft lips meet hers. One of Rainbow's hooves slid down from her head to her back while the other one found itself on her cheek. Twilight lost control of her legs as Rainbow's grip refused to lessen. She couldn't help but grab on to Rainbow's back for support- which only closed the gap between their chests. As she dove into the kiss, she tasted blueberry from Rainbow's lips and the smelled minty scent she had on her mane.

When Twilight reluctantly broke off for breath, she couldn't help but fall on her knees. For a second, she stared at Rainbow as she tried to remember her name, her age, and...her name. Twilight didn't realize herself panting at the heat present on her face and her whole body. Rainbow on the other hand, also struggled to keep herself up.

Twilight shifted her weight and supported herself with her forelegs before mumbling something with downcast eyes.

Rainbow edged closer to Twilight and extended her head towards the panting mare. "What?"

"...More..." Twilight weakly responded, then in a split second, she grabbed Rainbow's head with both her hooves, brought it close to her own, and locked her lips with hers. Rainbow groaned as she felt Twilight's moist lips press against hers. Twilight gently led her tongue to Rainbow's entrance, asking for permission to explore her mouth. Rainbow's lips parted and her tongue wrestled with Twilight's as they both melted into the kiss. Finally the clash ended, and both of their tongues explored each other— hungry for more. Twilight's wings perked up and wrapped around Rainbow's back, bringing the two of them closer and enveloping both their hot bodies in a comfortable embrace.

Eventually, both of them pulled back to catch a breath. Twilight didn't need a mirror to know that her face was flushed, her heartbeats themselves were enough to make Twilight feel woozy from the turn of events. Her panting had also reached a point where she couldn't completely say a single word without stopping mid-way to breathe.

"Wow..." Rainbow trailed off, still wrapped up in Twilight's wings. She put a hoof in her lips and closed her eyes to reminisce about the kiss. Now—

—that there was a real kiss.

Twilight couldn't help but giggle at Rainbow's reaction to their "make-out" session. She hugged her tighter as she gently lay down on a patch of grass with Rainbow still cuddled up in her wings.

"Twilight," Rainbow Dash whispered as she traced Twilight's body downwards, eliciting a slight shiver from her.

Unbeknownst to the two, the fireworks show was reaching it's climax- the endpoint of the display. A large ball of light and dark flew towards the sky and circled around each other. As the balls raced towards the highest point in the sky. A large explosion followed by the a burst of silver, gold, and white sparkles in the sky took place where the balls originally were. Rainbow tried to speak but the sound of the grand finale drowned out her words.

Rainbow simply smiled and alligned her gaze with Twilight's.

Twilight, want to go on a date with me? Rainbow's voice echoed in Twilight's head.

Twilight cupped Rainbow's cheek and gave her a peck on the lips before squirming and looking Rainbow in the eyes.

Yes.

"Pay up" Pinkie demanded as she grabbed a piece of chocolate from the She was stationed at the very top of Canterlot palace, to keep her from falling, a transparent magical barrier ~~which suddenly appeared out of nowhere~~ was created and placed on the tip.

A sparkle of light appeared by her side and released five hundred bits—

WAIT, why am I paying, Pinkie Pie? We never bet on anything!

"Of course we did!" Pinkie made gestures with her hooves and did a few twirls around the magic floor. "At first, I was like, 'they're TOTALLY going to kiss' but you were 'nah I won't bet on it' so I grabbed my planning notebook and scribbled our bet! five-hundred bits for the winner along with EXCLUSIVE prizes and grand—"

Pinkie! there are so many wrong things with what you just said. First of all, I said I won't bet on it, second, where in the world did you get five hundred bits as the betting cost? Third, we never shook on it or even agreed to bet on them, lastly, we can't bet on the emotions of others! Pinkie, they're your friends for Pete's sake!

Pinkie shrugged, "what if I change it to fifty—"

Pinkie that's not the point— WHOA whoa whoa, is that the chocolate Twilight made for Rainbow? Pinkie, you really shouldn't be eating that!

"Bu itsch gwoooood," Pinkie grabbed a hoofful of chocolate and gobbled it up shortly after.

Please... just save some for Rainbow Dash later. How can she even eat that thing?

"Oh, okay" Pinkie said as she hid the box in her mane and continued to stare at the couple in the palace balcony. From the top, she could see Rainbow Dash and Twilight snuggling comfortably under the moonlight.

I guess it is true right Pinkie? love is— De magicks

Pinkie, while staring at the two mares, was looking at them through sad and teary eyes. She always wondered what love was like, what "magic" it held such that it could make a pony forget everything and chase after it. Deep inside, she wanted to feel that love- and it was disorienting that she might not actually experience it.

"Well, author" Pinkie said, she looked at the moon as a tear fell out of her eye, "Can you send me over to your world?"

Why would you want that?

"Maybe so we could, hang out?" Pinkie mumbled, she was expressing a side of her that she had never expressed to anypony before. "I mean, you're the first pony—"

I'm actually what you call "a person."

"—person that I could show this side to. I'm not entirely what people think I am, I'm not just Pinkie the party pony, sometimes I make ponies smile so much I forget to make myself smile. So, do you think we can hang out?"

~~Look Pinkie, sure you can visit my world and maybe we can even have some fun baking or whatever fun things it is that you do. But don't get me wrong, I don't want to assume anything about you but... I kinda already like fell for Applejack a long time ago so I can't really do~~ that ~~with you.~~

~~Suddenly, Pinkies eyes went blank and a creepy smile took over her face. "I see," she said as she took out a kitchen knife from her mane.~~

Sure. Crap.
