But I Studied for a Stallion!

Twilight Sparkle quivered with breathless anticipation as she slid the deadbolt across her bedroom door with a satisfying click. In front of her, several musty old books were splayed out across the floor in a chaotic heap. The shutters were drawn, leaving the room darkened but not totally blackened. Spike was out running errands for the day in Canterlot, giving the purple unicorn all the time she needed to perform the necessary research.

“Good. This all came together quite nicely.” With a quick burst of magic, she checked off another item on a long sheet of parchment that sat to her right. “Now... next on the list is - oh.” She gasped a bit as she read the next item on her list, a blush creeping onto her face as she did.

Do I really have to do this? It seems a bit... perverse.

“Yes,” she said aloud. “I want to do this. For Rainbow. Even if it involves...” she turned her attention back to the list. “Even if it involves - oh come on, that’s just gross! Who even wrote this?”

“That would be me.” Twilight’s ears immediately shot up as the voice drifted around her head and turned all her cognitive thinking skills to mush.

“Dashie!”

The rainbow-maned pegasus opened her mouth to say hello, but was instantly enveloped in a purple glow and pulled into her fillyfriend’s waiting hooves. A brief second of frenzied kissing later the two pulled away, both sporting bashful smiles.

“Did you miss me, Twi?”

“Do you even need to ask that?” The lavender pony pulled Dash in again, this time for a crushing hug. “I really did miss you, Dash. Being gone for a whole week on weather patrol and leaving poor me alone... I just really missed you.”

Rainbow rolled her eyes at Twilight’s clinginess. It could get to be a bit weird at times, but right now it was just the kind of welcome home she needed. “I missed you too. But don’t worry, tonight we’re gonna do whatever we want to. Just the two of us, curled up in front of the fireplace with a nice bottle of wine and-”

“Actually?” Twilight interrupted, “I was hoping that maybe tonight we could get a little more... intimate.”

A moment of silence was followed by a hopeful chuckle. “Wait - you’re serious? You want us to-”

Twilight nodded as she bit her lip. “Yeah. We’ve been going out for almost six months now, and you’ve just been so good about waiting for me. I want this to be really special.”

Rainbow’s nose scrunched up as she poked Twilight in the chest lightly. “You sure you really want to do this? It’s a big leap, you know.” Rainbow had always been keen on respecting Twilight’s boundaries, and the sudden inclination towards sex surprised her a bit.

Not that she wasn’t totally going to go along with it.

“I know it’s a big leap, and I might not be all that... good at it,” Twilight giggled a bit, “but I really do want this.” Rainbow felt a comforting warmth nuzzling her shoulder. “Besides, I know you’ve wanted to get with me for awhile now.”

With a powerful stroke of her wings, Rainbow was suddenly airborne. “You bet I have!” Suddenly realizing how loudly she had just shouted, she fluttered back down to earth sheepishly. “But, you know - I can wait. You’re worth it.”

Twilight debated whether to respond or just let her heart melt outright at Rainbow’s sentiment. Finally, she gave up and dove in for another kiss. Her cyan friend was a bit taken aback by the sudden rush of passion, but didn’t argue as her lips melded with Twilight’s.

They held the pose for what seemed like forever before Rainbow broke away from the inviting embrace of her fillyfriend, eliciting a melancholy sigh from both. Twilight half-whispered, “What is it now?”

Dash rested her forehead against Twilight’s. “I need to go real quick. I still need to finish up some paperwork for the weather patrol.”

“You’re choosing paperwork over sex? Who are you and what have you done with Rainbow Dash?”

They both chuckled a bit, nuzzling closer as they did. “Yeah, I know. Craziness, right? But it’s gotta get done, and I’m the mare to do it.”

Giving her an understanding smile, the unicorn finally pulled away. “Okay, just be quick.” A sly smile slowly grew on her face as she realized an opportunity to get her fillyfriend back for all the pranks she had pulled on Twilight since the two declared their courtship. “I’ll be waiting, sexy.”

Summoning up all the lust she could muster, Twilight rocked her haunches from side to side, swatting her fillyfriend with her lavender tail. She turned around, leaned in close, and nibbled on Dash’s neck a bit before finally whispering, “I’ll be waiting,” into Dash’s perked ears.

All this was not lost on her rainbow-maned suitor. Her magenta eyes immediately grew as big as saucers, her knees quivered like they were tiny trees blown in a hurricane. In the six months she had waited for Twilight, Rainbow had only had her imagination to fill in the blanks about her fillyfriend, but the sudden assault of sexiness had darn near overpowered her keen senses.

“D-don’t do that! I’ll s-see you-” She was hardly able to finish as she turned and bolted off through the window, an unmistakable blush on her muzzle.

As Twilight watched Dash escape a huge smile burst onto her face. If I could get that sort of responce out of her by swishing my tail and whispering, just imagine her reaction to the real thing! Although she felt a bit weirded out that she was even capable of thinking like that, she still felt a rush of power at the prospect.

I knew it was a good idea getting all these books... She trailed off as her horn lit up, grasping several unopened books scattered in front of her. If these don’t help me wow Rainbow tonight, nothing will!

Twilight began scanning the tomes, a small but noticeable blush forming as she did. “Oh my,” she whispered to herself, “these images are... detailed.” Steeling herself, she took a deep breath, muttered, “For Rainbow,” and dove into the pile of books.

Rainbow Dash flew circles over Twilight's library home, slapping herself repeatedly as she tried to psyche up for the imminent confrontation. “Come on Dashie,” she muttered between hits, “you’ve done this before. Go in there and knock her socks off!”

Yet that tiny, nagging voice in her head continued to make its presence known. This is Twilight we’re talking about! How do you know she even wants to do this?

“She told me herself!”

How do you know she just wasn’t pressured into it? We both know that you’ve always been the one to bring up sex. She would do anything to keep you, even if that meant giving up her body for your pleasure.

“But... she would tell me if she didn’t want to.”

She really likes you, Dash. She would overthrow Celestia herself if it meant she was able to see you. Who’s to say she’s just not doing this so you’ll like her more?

“No, she wouldn’t.” She stopped her flight, worry creeping onto her face. “Would she?”

Better go find out.

She hardly needed any more convincing. Any notion of sex completely forgotten, she pumped her wings once, swooping down into the nearest open window of the library-

“Oh Dashie?” The pegasus choked on her breath as her eyes came to rest on the image of her fillyfriend, reclining amongst a large mountain of books. Her lavender legs were spread apart slightly, her marehood only just covered by her swaying tail. She had on her sexiest smile as she gazed at Dash. Just like the book said. Legs up, chin down. You can do this, Twi.

“Uh - wow.” The pegasus’s wings immediately went stiff, causing her to plummet to the ground like a rock. Brushing off the tumble, Dash regarded the mare with equal parts admiration and lust. “Goddess, Twi. Y-you look really good...” As she sputtered, Twilight rose and sauntered over, hips swaying hypnotically.

Eyes locked, hips moving, tail swishing... Rainbow really seems to like this. Maybe I should do this for her more often.

The unicorn giggled, sending another chill down Dash’s spine. “Why thank you. I guess sometimes I just like looking... feminine.” Unbeknownst to her flabbergasted partner, Twilight had levitated a particularly large book just behind her cyan lover’s head, allowing her to dish out all the sultry quips she wanted without Dash knowing! She squee’d inwardly at her masterful plan. Twilight Sparkle, you are a genius! Dash will think you’re so suave, she cooed inwardly.

“Femininity has nothing on you, Twi. You look absolutely h-uh-” Suddenly, Dash cut herself off, biting her lip furiously to try and maintain some semblance of control. “Listen, Twi. I’ve been thinking, and - you know, we don’t really have to do this if you don’t want to.” Every fiber of her being screamed at her not to continue, but she soldiered on anyway. “We can wait.”

Squinting at her hidden book, Twilight replied, “Dashie, I want this. I want you.”

The pegasus began to drool as her eyes glazed over. Way to go, Twilight! You’ve got her eating out of your hoof! “So,” the unicorn said as seductively as possible, “what to do now...”

Regaining her composure enough to use basic motor functions, Dash managed a quick chuckle. “Oh, I have a few ideas.”

“Great!” Twilight’s sudden shout nearly bowled the pegasus over. “I’ve got several books that detail the best positions for us based on age, weight, and height!” Her horn flared, and several books shot into Dash’s face.

“Oh, wow.” The pegasus immediately sprouted a furious blush. “These are... detailed.”

Twilight’s face peered over the wall of bound parchment. “Well? Which position do you want to try out? I’ve never seen some of these before, but I think the ‘Reverse Cowmare’ sounds like fun!” Any trace of the purple mare’s sensual facade had vanished completely as a mounting excitement took hold of her.

In all her nervous elation, Twilight completely ignored her partner’s confused and slightly put-off glances. I expected something like this from her, but this is just ridiculous! “Uh - Twi?”

“Yeah?”

“Maybe we should just... take it slow.” Rainbow’s mind reeled. She never thought she would hear those words coming out of her mouth. “You know, because it’s your first time and all.”

The ticking enthusiasm drained from Twilight’s face, leaving only a maddening blush in its wake. “Oh, yeah,” she finally giggled sheepishly, “that might be a good idea. Maybe we could just-”

The soft yet firm feel of Dash’s lips on hers silenced her as all rational thinking ceased, replaced by the flood of pent-up desire. Just because she had always been the one to shy away from such advances didn’t mean they didn’t arouse a fire deep within her. She gladly fell into her lover’s kiss as she felt the soft reassuring stroke of Rainbow Dash’s hoof glide along her back, gently tracing circles in her fur, lazily going lower and lower and lower-

“Woah - Dash!” The unicorn suddenly felt her rump being squeezed. With a cry, she arched her back in surprise, accidentally bringing her hips up and grinding her exposed marehood against Dash’s leg. The sudden assault of pleasure made Twilight’s knees buckle. With a moan, she fell backwards onto the floor, her arms still wrapped around the cyan pegasus’s midsection.

The entwined couple landed in a heap, toppling several nearby stacks of books. As the floor cut their descent short, their heads knocked together with the sound of two coconuts.

“Ow!” Rainbow moved a hoof up to her forehead, where a thin trickle of blood oozed from a slight gash. “Watch it, Twi. I’m not that kinky.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry! Let me help you.” Her horn burst into a small light show as a thin tendril of magic snaked over her injured partner’s face. Several quick, tingling sensations ran through Rainbow’s head as Twilight magically closed the cut. “That should do the trick.” She shot a sheepish look at the mare on top of her. “Sorry about that.”

Rainbow laughed. “Yeah, it’s okay. Now, where were we?”

Before she had time to think, the lavender unicorn chirped, “We were at step three befor-” Her hoof immediately covered her mouth, muffling the rest of the sentence. But the damage was done.

Dash scrunched up her nose in confusion. “Wait, step three?”

Cringing, Twilight levitated her previously hidden book in front of her. “Yeah... I’ve been studying the best way to go about - you know - and this book lists ‘passionate kissing’ as step three.”

“Let me see that.” The book was snatched away by the brash pegasus. As she skimmed over it, the red haze over her muzzle intensified. “Geez Twi, what’s with all these super-detailed books of yours? They’re starting to give me the heebie-jeebies.”

She tossed the tome behind her, where it settled with a dull thud. “Listen Twilight, you can’t just learn how to be intimate by reading books. You need to go out and experience it yourself and get a feel for what you like, not what a book tells you to like!”

In reply, she muttered, “I was trying before you gave me this speech.”

“What’d you say?”

“Nothing.” She changed the subject. “But you’re right anyway, maybe I should just start getting a feel for what pleases me.”

“Atta filly! Now, let’s say we get back down to business?”

“Actually...” Twilight tried to hide her face behind her mane as she flashed a bashful smile. “I was thinking that maybe we could skip to step six?”

“Step six?” Rainbow Dash’s confused face made Twilight giggle a bit. With another burst of magic she brought the discarded book to the pegasus’s eye level, flipping through pages hurriedly until she found the desired diagram. After a moment’s hesitation, she turned the book so that her partner could view it.

Her blush couldn’t get any brighter. “Woah... that looks like fun.”

“So...” Twilight drew lazy circles in Dash’s tummy with a hoof. “Step six?”

An enthusiastic Rainbow Dash nodded. “Step six.” She leaned in to begin, but suddenly felt the world sway violently to the left as she was picked up and not-so-gently deposited beside Twilight, who had already gotten to her hooves and was hovering over her, a nervous smile plastered on her face.

“Now, I planned out how long we should be able to last in our... ahem... activities based on core athletic statistics - I know I have those stats around here somewhere - and managed to graph the increasing-”

“Twilight!” Dash’s shout startled the unicorn out of her scientific babble. “You just need to relax and let it all come naturally. You can’t learn sex from a book, after all.”

Her fillyfriend sighed, her warm breath falling on Dash’s cheek. “You’re right. It’s just - these books seemed like such a good idea!” Once again, Dash found a graphically detailed diagram from one of Twilight’s books shoved in her face.

She fought the urge to gag at the picture. “Gah! Get that away from me!” As she swatted at the floating book, she heard a purple unicorn’s giggle float her way.

The giggling mare soon found herself on the receiving end of a dark glare from Rainbow Dash. “Never show me those books again. Clear?”

“Crystal.” She mock-saluted her rainbow counterpart. “Now, why don’t we... you know... get down to it?”

“With pleasure.” No sooner had Rainbow said the words than she was upon Twilight, mashing their lips together with feverish passion. The lavender mare’s eyes shot open in surprise, but she quickly regained enough prose to let them shut and enjoy the moment.

This is finally happening! Dont forget what the book said... lips apart, tongue out... you can do this! Just keep calm and remember your-

Her thoughts were cut short as a cyan hoof started squeezing her flank again. Letting out a soft gasp, she pulled away with a bashful half-smile.

“Hey, why’d we stop? Was it me?” The pegasus’s egocentrism took hold. “Was I too forward? I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have pressured you into this, I’m such a terrible fillyfriend-”

A purple hoof was shoved in her muzzle. “No, it’s fine. It’s just-” Twilight’s sheepish blush intensified. “Would you mind rubbing my cutie mark again? It-it feels really good.”

A tiny wave of relief hit Dash as she realized that she was not in fact doing anything wrong. Planting a kiss on the nape of Twilight’s neck, she wordlessly reached down once more and began massaging the stars adorning her partner’s flanks.

“Oh - OH, right there!” She squirmed a bit as Dash kneaded her cutie mark, making slow, deliberate circles over the inlay of stars. “Wow, you’re good at this.”

The compliment wasn’t lost on Rainbow Dash as she increased her pressure on Twilight’s flanks, only pausing to plant sloppy kisses on her neck.

Oh sweet Celestia above this is so amazing! Why didn’t I ever try this before? Twilight’s mind raced at a million miles an hour as sharp tingles of pleasure shot through her spine. It was all she could do to string coherent thoughts together; Rainbow was doing a surprisingly good job of pleasing her.

Finally, with a satisfied gasp, the two broke their embrace, panting heavily. The heat of arousal had them both blushing madly as they sat there for a moment, just taking each other in. Finally, Twilight broke the silence. “Dashie? I-I think I’m ready.”

The pegasus nodded as a small, silly grin grew on her face. Wordlessly she moved in and kissed her again, this time with much more force. The two interlocked lovers rolled around on the ground, knocking over a few stacks of books as they did. As they continued, the disorganized mess around them grew and grew until Twilight could take it no more.

“Uh - Dash?” her opened her eyes and gazed at her fillyfriend dreamily. “Maybe we should move to the bed.”

Sheepishly, she agreed. “Heh, yeah. That might be a good idea.” With that she scooped up Twilight and, with one pump of her wings, deposited her onto the bed, never once breaking eye contact with her enamored partner.

Well, at least I don’t have to worry about my books anymore, thought Twilight as her eyes began to move down Dash’s body towards her more private areas.

“Hey - uh, Twi?” The eyes flicked back up to Dash’s blushing face.

“Yeah?”

Bashfully, the pegasus began to rub the back of her neck. “Um... I’m glad that we’re finally doing this, but - well, uh - Celestia this is hard.”

“Just spit it out Dashie. I won’t think any less of you.” Twilight giggled inwardly. She rarely got to see the softer, more awkwardly cute side of her fillyfriend.

“Well, okay. I was just wondering if, maybe I-I could be on the bottom when we... you know.”

Well that was not what I was expecting. “Really? You never struck me as the ‘submissive’ type-”

“Yeah I know!” she practically shouted. “I’m allowed to have my girly fantasies, right?”

A knowing smile crossed Twilight’s face as she leaned in and pecked Rainbow on the muzzle. “Of course. I’m glad you feel comfortable enough to tell me.” Now would be a great opportunity to wow her! Sweep her off her feet! Knock her horseshoes off! Do something other than just lay there!

“Thanks Twi, I didn’t really know how you were gonna take that one. I guess I just overreact - woah!”

Rainbow was suddenly embraced in a warm aura of purple magic and flipped onto her back. She let out a low “eep” as Twilight, seizing the initiative, leaned over her and locked lips with her.

Way to go Twi! You’re getting really good at this! But don’t lose focus now! You’re almost there!

“W-Wow, Twi,” Rainbow managed between pants, “I didn’t think you’d be so... eager.”

I smell a one-liner! Say something witty! “Mhmm, you’re one of the fastest mares in Equestria. I’m just hoping I’m able to keep up.”

And with that, Rainbow Dash melted. “Oh God Twilight, just hurry up and do me already.”

The lavender mare beamed her approval before diving in on top of her partner and leaving a slick trail of wet kisses up and down her neck. Okay Twilight, keep it together. You control the show now. Remember your studies and everything will be just fine.

Remembering all that her books had taught her, she began to gently descend her cyan partner’s body, punctuating her movement with tiny, inexperienced kisses. It didn’t seem like much to her, but it drove Rainbow Dash absolutely insane.

“Nya - hurry up and get to it already!” Aching to release the swelling pressure inside her, Dash unceremoniously grabbed Twilight’s head and tried pushing her down level with her marehood.

“Wha - hey! Dash, cut that out. That’s not... funny...” The unicorn’s protests trailed off as she allowed herself to be lowered between Dash’s hind legs. Finally, time to show her how great you are in the sack-

“Woah sweet Celestia on a rocking horse!” Twilight suddenly shot up, back straight as a rod and a clear look of surprise on her stricken face. She took several quick, scuttling shuffles backwards before outright falling off the bed in a heap.

“What? Is everything alright?” As the unicorn stared up at the ceiling trying to collect her thoughts, her rainbow-maned counterpart leaned over the bed and eyed her quizzically. “Was it something I said?”

Twilight shot to her feet and moved about the room, her previous lust suddenly forgotten as she amassed a sizable stack of books in her magical grip. “No, you didn’t do anything.”

“Good, now can we get back to bed? I’d like to continue what we started, if that’s okay.”

Rainbow Dash was suddenly staring into the eyes of an annoyed bookworm. “No, don’t you get it? We can’t!”

She recoiled a bit. “We can’t? Why not?”

With a frustrated huff, Twilight gave an annoyed glance towards the messy stack of books. “All the books I’ve studied discuss mare and stallion relations! We’re both mares, in case you haven’t noticed!”

“No, really.”

“I’m being serious!” She half heartedly punched Dash’s arm. “I studied for so long... it was all gonna be perfect... and all along I was studying the wrong thing!” A thin, panicky veil clouded her eyes. “I don’t know how to satisfy you. I’m a terrible fillyfriend.

“What? No you’re not!” Rolling her eyes a bit at her fillyfriend’s assumptious fears, she got off the bed and wrapped her in a soft hug. “Twilight, I couldn’t care less about you being good at it or not. True, it probably won't be the best sex ever, but what counts is that I’m doing it with you.”

The purple mare sniffled, swiping away a few loose tears. “R-really? You mean it?”

“You bet.” The answer seemed to satisfy the bookworm, as she let her head fall gently into her partner’s multicolored mane.

“Thanks, Dash. I guess I just went a bit crazy.”

She chuckled. “Yeah, you tend to do that. Now,” she grabbed Twilight’s hoof and began to lead her back towards the bed, “what do you say we get back to - woah!”

For the upteenth time today, Dash found herself tossed by a purple aura of magic onto the bed. She was quickly pinned down by a brief kiss from Twilight as she coyly crawled on top of her. “Dash, you’ve always been there for me when I needed you. You are so much greater than anything I could ever have hoped for in a fillyfriend. And now,” she lowered her voice so she would sound as sultry as possible, “I want to reward you.”

Wordlessly, her hoof traveled down to Rainbow’s exposed marehood as she leaned down and kissed the pegasus. Right before she could begin rewarding her, though, Rainbow pulled away. “Ah-ah. You first.”

Twilight tried to reply, but all that came out was a barely concealed moan as a cyan hoof started rubbing her slit with sudden vigor. She could barely control herself as she arched her back at the almost violent wave of pressure, swinging her head back and letting out a soft whinny.

“Ow! Not again, Twi!”

Puzzled, Twilight looked down. Her fillyfriend had ceased rubbing her in favor of nursing a fresh cut right above her left eyebrow and shooting her what could only be described as a deadly glare.

“Oh hayseed, I’m sorry... again.” Stop being so clumsy and start being sexy, darn it! “Let me get that.”

As Twilight healed the second wound she had inflicted on her partner that evening, she allowed herself a tiny giggle. Here I am, on top of the greatest mare in all of Equestria, and what do I do? I cut her with my horn.

“Hey, it’s not funny!” Rainbow’s death glare softened to a playful scowl. “I didn’t even know unicorn horns were sharp enough to cut...”

By the time the healing spell was complete the two had become just the slightest bit impatient. Finally, the pegasus blurted out, “Hurry up already, Twi!”

“Hold your humans, the spell’s almost done...” Her horn died. “There. Now, let’s continue, shall we?”

Dash placed a quick kiss on Twilight’s muzzle. “You betcha. Though maybe this time, I should be on top-”

“No!” Stay on top. Show her just how sexy you can be! “I-I kinda like being on top. Please?”

Rainbow rolled her magenta eyes half-heartedly. “Fine, just be more careful with that horn. I don’t want to get gored to death.”

Yay! Now, show Dashie how great you are! Do something unexpected! After a moment’s hesitation Twilight swung her hips over Dash’s, wavered there for a moment, then plopped down onto her partner with a smack. This position worked well enough for the couples in the books. I’m sure it’ll be just fine for us. As she did, though, her rear hooves gave out on her, leaving her scrambling for purchase.

In her panic, she ended up slamming her forehooves into Dash’s gut, earning her a sharp, raspy cough from her partner. “Ouch! Stop that!”

Once Twilight finally regained her balance, she took notice of the sputtering mare beneath her. “Oh no, did I do that? I’m really sorry Dashie, I don’t know what came over me there-”

“Yeah, yeah.” The pegasus cut her off with a wave of her hoof. “Just - don’t do it again. I don’t think I can take much more of this...”

Darn it, Twilight! Stop hurting her like that! You need to do something really awesome, and fast! Think! She recalled the vast tomes of knowledge, desperate for anything that might salvage this horrific sexual endeavor. Let’s see... maybe if I just start gyrating, something might happen. It’s worth a shot, I guess.

Twilight awkwardly began to shift her hips back and forth, moving with all the grace of a legless ballerina as she clumsily grazed against her partner.

Rainbow spoke up. “Twilight?”

“Yeah?”

“You’re humping my leg.”

“Oh... sorry.” Quick, think of something else! You can’t let Dash down now!

“Uh - Twilight?”

Hurry up, you dumb oaf! You need to prove how much you like her!

“Twilight?”

If you mess this up she’ll hate you forever and then she’ll break up with you and then you’ll be lonely forever and then-

“Twilight!”

The pegasus’s shout finally broke her out of her trance. “Oh Dash, I’m sorry. Let’s try another position or something-”

“Actually...” Dash averted her eyes, “maybe we should just quit it for the night. I’m not really feeling like it anymore.” She squirmed as the passionate burning between her legs slowly subsided to a dull ache.

Oh no. This is it. Twilight’s shoulders slumped as she complied, rolling onto her back next to Dash. She hates you now. She’s gonna break up with you. Why can’t you be good at pleasing your mare! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Rainbow Dash moved to stretch but stopped as she heard muffled sobbing coming from the other side of the bed. She turned towards her fillyfriend, worry clearly etched in her eyes. “Twilight? Uh - are you okay-”

“OhDashieI’msorrypleasedon’tdumpme!” Twilight threw her forelegs around her partner, sobbing half-hysterically into her mane. “I’m sorry I’m not good at sex but I don’t want to lose you oh please don’t break up with me please!” She finally broke down, matting Dash’s cyan fur with tears.

“Ow - Twilight! Watch it.” Dash gestured to her wings. “Still sensitive.” She nodded and moved her hooves up to Dash’s neck. “Twi, what’s gotten into you?”

Breaking the hug reluctantly, she wiped a few tears from her puffy eyes. “I-I thought that if I couldn’t... you know... please you, you’d hate me. Then you’d break up with me, and then I’d be alone forever.” She choked off another sob. “Please don’t leave me... I really like you, Dash.”

For a moment the only noise was the sound of muffled tears. Suddenly, the room was filled with uproarious laughter. “Twilight, seriously?” she managed between gasping guffaws. “You think I’d break up with you ‘cause we didn’t have sex?”

“...Yes.”

The laughter suddenly died as Dash realized how hard Twilight was taking this. “Oh geez. No, no no no.” She lifted her lavender fillyfriend’s chin and looked into her tear-streaked eyes. “Twi, listen to me. Sex may be pleasurable... and fantastic... and extremely awesome...” she drifted off for a moment before catching herself. “But it shouldn’t define a good relationship.

“I really can’t wait for the time that we can get intimate without you... you know-”

“Killing the mood?” Twilight blushed sheepishly.

“Yeah. I don’t really want to wait...” she moved closer, stroking her soft purple mane. “But for you? I think I’ll live. After all, I don’t need sex.” She wiped a stray tear from her partner’s cheek. “I need you.”

Twilight wanted to respond, but stopped herself; this moment didn’t need any words. Silently, she buried her face in her fillyfriend’s mane, feeling the anxiety and fear slowly dissipate as she gently rocked back and forth, melting into a rainbow-colored calm. In no time at all her eyelids became too heavy to keep open. With a contented sigh she relaxed into the bed underneath her and fell asleep.

Rainbow Dash giggled silently. Twilight was always cute when she was sleeping. Turning her eyes to the ceiling she allowed herself a moment of peace. She needed it after the crazy day she just went through. As she began to succumb to muffled yawns she spoke just loud enough for herself to hear.

“I hope all our dates are this crazy.”
