Royal Pains

As Twilight and Rainbow Dash had made it to the mountain view point, it was truly a sight to behold, Equestria showed its' true beauty on this mountain.

All of the buildings and houses resembled gemstones glittering under the starlight, a pleasant breeze had been blowing on this mountain, it was not cold, but crisp and gentle, carrying the sweet smell of pine trees from the Everfree nearby.

The night was perfectly clear, the stars were like gems in a vast darkening ocean, the moon had been full, providing just enough light to see clearly.

Rainbow dash had set up the red and white chequered picnic blanket, before sneaking up to Twilight, and pecking her on the cheek. Twilight turned with a start after Rainbow Dashs' lips left her cheek.

Twilight noticed that Rainbow Dash had a shy expression, and a blush masking her cheeks. Twilight Smiled.

“Rainbow Dash, this is so unlike you?” Twilight stated, as she remembered the fading warmth on her face, from her gentle lips.

“Don't you like it I-I can stop being so emotional if you'd like? I-I just feel like I can be myself around you.” RD said, nervously fidgeting with her hands.

“No Rainbow... I was wondering why you stopped?” Twilight asked blushing slightly. “Come and join me Dashy.” Twilight beckoned with her hand.

Rainbow joined Twilight on the viewing balcony, on the mountain. Twilight pretended to shiver from a cold breeze, though it was not cold but Twilight wanted to get closer to Rainbow Dash, so she subtly gave her the hint.

Rainbow Dash wrapped a wing around Twilight, pulling her close. “Is that better, Twi.”

“Yes, thank you Dashy,” Twilight replied, snuggling into Rainbow Dashs' embrace.

Soon after a brief embrace, the two girls decided to eat what they had been given to take with them.

They had Cucumber sandwiches, and a bottle of fine wine, Cadence gave to them. It was from the Crystal Empires best vineyard. It had a sweet and fragrant aroma, with a lovely golden colour from white frost grapes and honey only native to the Crystal Empire.

Twilight took a sip of the wine, and her taste buds danced with elation. The wine started off very mellow, then suddenly became sweet and refreshing. To her amazement, the wine was ice cold despite being carried all the way from the Crystal Empire. She made a mental note to research how this was possible, later.

Twilight sighed with contentment, as she let the euphoria of the night wash over her. She was happy that her secret crush had been made known to Rainbow Dash, she wanted to tell her sooner. But she was afraid that if she did she'd loose her friends, if the girls, or even if she just told Rainbow Dash, that she liked both boys and girls.

However, there was something magical about Rainbow Dash. When she would look at her, she felt her heart flutter, and she would become nervous.

While the night progressed, and the two girls enjoyed each others company. Cadences secret surprise showed itself. The sky lit up with a million little flashes shooting through the sky, making it sparkle ever so brightly.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash were lost in awe at the sudden beauty of the night, they had not seen anything like it before, because most would be asleep right now. They felt like the stars had been approving their relationship.

As the two watched the display, Rainbow dash wrapped her wings around Twilight, and kissed her passionately. At first Twilight was surprised, but she soon melted into the kiss. She couldn't help but notice the stars in the corner of her eye, glittering as they shot passed.

After the kiss broke, Twilight snuggled into Rainbow Dashs' Warm embrace, cuddling her tenderly, making sure not to pull out any of her feathers, as she moved. Once she was comfortable again, the new couple stayed locked together in an embrace, watching the night go by, enjoying the bottle of fine wine.

“This must be what a good date is.” Twilight thought to herself, feeling giddy with joy. “I love you Dashy” Twilight thought aloud accidentally.

“I love you too Twi.” Rainbow Dash stated, attempting to hide a massive smile, as she hugged Twilight tightly.

Celestia and Discords' date...

Celestia could feel her body relaxing, she loved the beach. She didn't have to worry about politics, Equestrias' Security, or even what the next day would bring. The beach was her fortress of solitude.

Though this night she had to share it with someone, someone she didn't necessarily hate, but wished was more mature.

Discord and her had been friends for years, she found him comforting to be around, however that was until he decided to cause anarchy and chaos, because he was rejected when he declared his love for her. She had long since forgiven him. Once he was reformed, they had become friends again.

But Discord managed to get what he wanted, in the first place, a date with her, and so far it was quiet. He was actually behaving, though she wasn't sure how long it would last.

“Tia, do you want to have some fun.” Discord stated, breaking Celestias' train of thought, as if on cue.

“What do you mean, Discord?” Celestia replied, raising a curious eyebrow.

“Well I was thinking, we could make everyones' dinner chase them around, while we watch the chaos unfold. Wouldn't that be fun.” Discord replied cheekily, clasping his claws together.

“Discord...” Celestia replied, agitated at discords proposal of 'fun'

“Oh your no fun Tia, you use to pull pranks on people all the time. I can still remember your mum chasing you with a wooden spoon, after you turned her hair purple, and her house inside out.” Discord stated dreamily.

“I have learnt how to be mature. Something you're completely unfamiliar with Discord.” Celestia replied smartly.

“Well I guess I better become more mature then.” Discord said as he changed into an elderly man, wearing a suit. “There you go, now I'm as old as you sound.” Discord stated playfully, sounding weary with age.

Celestia Sighed, as her tranquillity was crushed by the lord of chaos. Though Celestia had to stifle a chuckle, as she remembered all of the pranks Discord and her, played on people. Especially her parents, though she was the princess of Equestria now, she had to be mature. Even though causing chaos with Discord, would be the highlight of her week, and a good way to blow off some steam.

“Let's get something to eat, Discord.” Celestia smiled enjoying his company, they hadn't done anything in many years.

“Then let's make the other patrons food run away, maybe make the spoons talk, or even make it start raining ice cream.” Discord winked at Celestia. “It will be fun. Let your hair down, your off duty.”

Celestia thought about it, but soon pushed the thought out of her mind.

“No Discord, contain yourself.” Celestia replied.

Discord chuckled, knowing that he was gradually breaking down her serious personality.

Luna and Sombras' date...

Luna and Sombra, had been awkward this entire time, they had barely said two words to each other.

“Where… Where, were you all these years Sombra.” Luna managed to say, through her nerves. Luna had never been on a date before, and she had a crush on Sombra for many years, but was to shy to tell him about it.

“Ah… ha… ha… well… I have been in the Crystal Empire, hiding in a cave after Twilights' dragon destroyed my plans.” Sombra said equally as nervous as Luna. Sombra had never actually talked to anybody before, after all, most people were scared of him, apart from Luna, who had no fear of him in her gaze.

“That's nice, how… how was it.” Luna said awkwardly, kicking herself inwardly, for saying something so stupid.

“Cold and icy.” Sombra replied awkwardly not knowing what exactly to say.

“Sounds great… Ah… Do you like games.” Luna said attempting break this awkwardness.

“Yeah I love games, I just recently played the tomb of tokumba.” Sombra said excitedly. “The plot, and story were great and the puzzles, are truly interesting.”

“I know right, that game was impressive, well designed.” Luna replied, finding a mutual topic to talk about, while they made there way to Diablo le flammore.

Diablo le flamore was a five star restaurant in the centre of Canterlot. It claimed to have the best food, and the greatest chef in the world, a human chef named Sanji.

Business was always booming, it was nearly impossible to get a reservation, but somehow Cadence had managed to get them the best seat in the house.

As the pair were seated, and given a menu to browse. The pair looked at it, and decided what they were going to order.

Once the chef came back, they ordered their meals, before continuing their conversation. Since the nerves had now eased, they were talking freely, like they were good friends.

Soon their meals arrived, and a moment of silence passed as they ate. Once the couple finished eating, and thanked the staff for the service. The two of them started to make there way to the laser skirmish field.

Luna had started to enjoy herself with Sombra, he was more interesting then she ever thought possible. It had surprised Luna with how open Sombra was with her. She couldn't wait to see what their night would bring next.

After Twilights date finished…

While Twilight relived the night she had with Rainbow Dash. She felt a sense of comfort come over her, it was the best thing she had ever felt. However her precious thoughts were completely shattered, as a voice entered her mind.

“Have you already forgotten about me, didn't I mean anything to you?”

Twilight woke up with a shock as she heard the voice, she looked around her room in a cold sweat, but she did not see anything. Spike was still asleep, the moon had been setting, and the sun had started to rise.

“Who was that?” Twilight thought to herself, she did not know who's voice it was, but it felt familiar to her. Unable to figure it out, she closed her eyes once again, and tried to get back to sleep.
