A Great and Powerful Wrath

As they all headed into the dining hall the mood was much lighter than it had been earlier, especially among the royal couple. Shining gave Cadence a smile and asked, "Honey, do you want to go get Flurry? I'm sure she will be happy to see Trixie."

Cadence headed off to the nursery while everypony else sat down to prepare for their meal and naturally Starlight sat next to Trixie. She remembered how Cadence had brought up her admitting she had a crush on her. She asked, "Trixie, is it true? Was what Cadence said about you having a crush on me true?"

Cadence was walking into the room as she asked this and before Trixie could reply, Flurry bolted off of Cadence's back and onto Trixie's back. Flurry immediately began nibbling on Trixie's ear causing her to giggle, "Flurry, stop! The Great and Powerful Trixie is ticklish there!"

Flurry stopped and Starlight asked, "Well, is it true?"

Trixie stared intently into Starlight's eyes and replied, "Yes Starlight, I have a crush on you, a big crush on you."

The first thing that Starlight noticed was how Trixie answered her. She noticed that she used I, and did not speak in the third pony. She pulled Trixie close and began to cry tears of joy, "You do? I have a crush on you too!"

The two gave one another huge smiles and moved in for a kiss but would be unable to as Flurry teleported herself onto Trixie's face and uttered her first words, "Ma-ma, no!"

Everypony in the room gasped in shock, especially Shining and Cadence. Shining said, "Honey, she said her first words!"

Cadence began to tear up, "I know but the first pony she called mama wasn't me. It wasn't me."

While this really flattered Trixie she knew that she couldn't gloat over it. She pointed her hoof at Cadence and said, "No Flurry, mama is over there. Go to mama."

Flurry took off towards Cadence and said, "Ma-ma."

While this did bring a smile to Cadence, she was still a bit sad given that it was Trixie that her daughter called mama first and not her. Trixie gave Cadence a look of concern and asked, "Are you ok? The Great and Powerful Trixie is sorry that Flurry called her mama first."

Cadence sniffled, "Oh it's ok. It's not your fault. I know she loves you."

Trixie replied, "Well The Great and Powerful Trixie loves her too. She is so adorable and sweet." She then turned to Starlight and continued, "And I love you too!"

Starlight beamed, "I love you too Trixie! I love you so much." She pulled Trixie close and asked, "Trixie, since we both love one another I am wondering, would you be my marefriend?"

Trixie squealed, "Yes, yes I'll be your marefriend!"

The two pulled one another into a loving kiss but one wasn't overly thrilled, Flurry. She took off, fired energy at Starlight, breaking the kiss. Again she landed on Trixie's face and said, "No!"

Cadence couldn't help but laugh, "You know Starlight, I think you have competition when it comes to Trixie. Flurry seems very protective of her."

One pony in particular couldn't help but snicker, Moonrise, "You know Trixie, perhaps Flurry could wind up being the flower filly when you two get married."

Everypony in the room laughed, except for Trixie and Starlight. Trixie said, "Mom, like I told you back home when I was telling you about Starlight, don't jinx it!"

Starlight added, "I can tell you are excited for us being a couple but it is way too soon to be talking about marriage. We just now professed our love for one another."

Everypony's attention turned to Moonrise and in her normal fashion, she was unfazed by it. She asked, "What? Can't a mother dream?"

For a moment everypony stared at her in silence before nodding in agreement. Cadence's stomach growled loudly so she said, "Well now that Trixie and Starlight are a couple, how about we eat some supper?"

Twilight asked, "So what are we having?"

Cadence replied, "How about we let the new lovebirds decide?"

Everypony's attention turned to the new couple waiting for a response. At first they stood their in silence until Trixie suggested one of her favorites, "How about we have hayburgers, hayfries and cider?"

Starlight put her hoof around her and added, "That is my favorite!"

Moonrise chuckled, "Aww....my little Trixie and my soon to be daughter in law have the same favorite food."

Trixie shouted, "MOM, I SAID DON'T JINX IT!"

Moonrise sighed, "Oh alright but like I said, "A mother can dream, right?"

Cadence added, "Well it is a rather common meal for a royal meal but if that is what you want, we'll have it."

Cadence summoned the chefs and told them what they were having and everypony sat down waiting for their meal. While Cadence and Shining Armor were happy that Trixie's crush wound up crushing on her too, they still couldn't help but be frustrated that they had no clue who killed Sunburst. Everypony else was ecstatic that Starlight and Trixie were a couple but Moonrise was by far the happiest as she never imagined that Trixie would find a special somepony. She could only hope that Starlight's family would be as happy as she was.
