An Unlikely Love: The Tale of Two Friendship Students

Starlight and Twilight headed into the dining hall to find Trixie waiting for them. Trixie had a look of concern when she saw the two come in together. She asked, "Starlight, Twilight are you two ok? You're usually not late for breakfast." She then narrowed her focus on Starlight and continued, "Where were you last night? I felt so empty after I came in to sleep with you and you were gone."

Starlight replied, "Trixie, Twilight and I have some things that we need to discuss with you."

Twilight added, "But I think it would be best if it waited until after breakfast. Discussions always go better with a full stomach."

Starlight and Trixie nodded and they sat down to eat. After breakfast they headed into the throne room and Trixie had an unsure look on her face. She had a feeling that it involved their discussion the day before but she was going to find out for sure. She asked, "Twilight, did you two talk about our discussion? Is that why you two came in together?"

Twilight replied, "Not really but Starlight knows about our talk." She nudged Starlight and continued, "Would you care to tell her what happened? Everything that happened?"

Starlight replied, "Sure. Well since Twilight mentioned that I know about your talk I can skip me hiding outside and listening to you. Well naturally I was enraged when I heard what Twilight was telling you so I decided something had to be done. After both of you went to bed I headed down to the library and found a copy of Starswirl's spell that I altered the first time. This time though I altered it to where I very easily could have altered things and let us each set our own destinies from the moment I traveled back to."

Trixie asked, "When was that?"

Starlight replied, "I took us back to the day that Twilight had her entrance exam. I had filly Twilight grasped in my aura and had I not convinced Twilight to tell you that I'm not how she said I was during your discussion, things would have been radically different."

Trixie asked, "How so?"

Starlight continued, "Twilight would have never got her cutie mark, she would have never been accepted into Celestia's school and with the way I altered the spell, only I would have remembered what happened in this lifetime so there would have been no village I oppressed and chances are I likely would have never met either one of you."

Trixie sniffled, "Really, you came that close to erasing our love?"

Starlight sighed, "Well we would have never met and no love would have existed to begin with but enough with my nearly altering everypony's future."

Twilight replied, "I agree." She gave them both a glare and continued, "About your relationship. I'll admit, I'm not exactly thrilled you two have fallen in love and as you know, I am extremely upset that you two would have the audacity to get intimate under my roof."

Starlight replied, "I understand."

Twilight asked, "I want to know something. I know I planted the seeds of doubt in Trixie yesterday but I want you to be honest with not just Trixie, but me. Have you been manipulating Trixie into loving you? Have you manipulated her into needing affection from you just so you can control her? Is all your love and affection for her just for show or is it legit?"

Starlight replied, "I truly love Trixie. Ok, I'll admit that we probably shouldn't have got as hot and heavy as we did, out of respect for you. I'm truly sorry I took advantage of you."

Trixie added, "I'm sorry too Twilight. I hope you won't kick us out."

Twilight was happy to see that Starlight's love was true but she also knew she had to be firm. She asked, "Starlight, Trixie, I have decided to give your relationship my blessing but could you two please not be so clingy, not be obsessed with one another so you can focus on your studies and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE could you sleep in your own beds until that special day comes if you decide to ever get married?"

Starlight replied, "I promise Twilight."

Trixie added, "As do I."

Twilight replied, "Ok, that is good." She looked towards the exit and continued, "Tell you what, why don't you two go spend some time together. After what happened yesterday and especially early this morning, I think I need some personal space and you two need to do some bonding."

Both mares replied, "Thank you Twilight! We'll see you later."

Twilight interrupted, "Oh, and if you two decide you just have to start kissing, groping and doing Celestia knows what else, please go to the forest to do it where nopony will see you."

They had plans to do just that so they blushed. Starlight replied, "Alright Twilight, we'll see you later."

There was one thing Trixie wanted to know before her and Starlight headed to the forest for some fun. She wanted to know about Starlight wearing her mane the way she used to. She asked, "Starlight, why are you wearing your mane like that? It seems like a style that a dictator would use. No offense but it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Starlight enjoyed wearing her mane like she used to but she realized that in every relationship there has to be compromises so she used her magic and fixed it to the style she had it in when she met Trixie. Starlight replied, "Alright Trixie, if you don't like me to wear it that way, I won't. I want you to be happy."

They had gotten into the forest so Trixie pounced on her and began to kiss her passionately. After a while they stopped and Trixie said, "Thank you. I love you Starlight! I love you with all my heart."

Starlight replied, "I love you too Trixie, I can't imagine my life without you."

They decided to continue their journey further into the forest and just talk. They talked about where they expected their friendship studies to lead, they talked about the more cheerful moments of their past but most of all, they talked about their future and realized that someday they will become more than just marefriends.

After they left the castle all Twilight could do was sigh. While she admitted she wasn't thrilled with their relationship, since she had given them her blessing she felt that preventing them from having time just for each other may lead to Starlight using her time travel spell again and that next time Starlight would have absolutely no problems altering everypony's destiny.
