It's No Secret
"Did you hear the news Spike's stuck on Rarity?" Twilight just rolled her eyes at this tidbit of information after all it was no secret to her about Spikes silly little crush on the fashion pony of Ponyville.
Once he laid eyes on her it was a never ending misadventure of polished scales and bumbling advances or attempts at wooing her.
Twilight sat on her throne the papers and briefs of Friendship Court laid out before her as she readied for the days proceedings, Her docket and calendar filled with appointments like books in her library but only with ponies, Whispering ponies, gossiping ponies.
Her ears perked up as the white noise of the castle faded and a murmur of the days hot saucy societal events flowed over the crowd.
"Order in the Court the Honorable Princess Twilight Sparkle presiding on all things friendship and other
legal issues before thee Court of Friendship" barked the royal guards.
"First case on the docket 'Cutie Mark Crusaders versus the township properties Mayor Mare' the parties may state your case".
As Apple Jack represented the CMC in the case of the attempted Intergalactic Voyage Machine launch by her little sister and friends that had caused yet to be totaled damages to the city, the murmur in the gallery grew about her number one assistants mornings trip to the Carousel Boutique the galleries open verbal voyeurism continued as the cases oral arguments carried on.
And carry on they did the more Apple Jack and Mayor Mare argued the more Sweetie Belle giggled along with the rest of the Crusaders, Neigh it was laughter in the court as volumes increased echoing off the ceiling before Twilight huffed out.
"Order in the court what's so funny about three foals damaging public property?" Twilight banged her gavel "Quite now!"
But the snickering continued through out the court room.
"If this display of contempt continues I'll be issuing fines to those who continue talking".
"Sorry Twi... Sorry Princess Twilight Sparkle" Sweetie squeaked out as she held her muzzle to stifle the giggles.
Boy I sure hate that stupid title Twilights mind was trying to follow the case at the same time rolling with the tides of todays gossip.
"Sweetie Belle Fillagree please approach the bench" Twilight ordered "You can come here".
The filly trotted up to the Princess judge with a giant smile on her face.
"Sweetie Belle can you tell me why you look so happy?" Twilight quizzed "You guys could be in for a lot of trouble for all the damages to the Ponyville city hall".
"Oh that's not why I'm being all silly" Sweetie giggled "Everypony behind us is talking about my big sis and Spike".
It was time to put and end to this silly gossip Twilight knew if she didn't stop this hen session the mob would become uncontrollable.
"Rumors and Gossip have no place in the Courts and as Princess I will not stand for any unsubstantiated rumors circulating through my courtroom about my number one assistant or anypony else! Do I make myself clear?"
The court stayed silent for about five tenths of a second or until Pinkie came bouncing through the doors announcing that she saw Spike and Rarity in a compromising position.
"Stop this right now!" Twilight was furious "Pinkie explain yourself!"
"Well Twilight I'm pink with a fluffy mane and tail I love to throw parties and have fun with cake and balloons and confetti and streamers and seeing smiles on everyponies faces is..."
"PINKIE!" Twilight reset the phonograph needle in Pinkies brain "No no no no no what about Spike and Rarity".
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Pinkie grinned "Spikey O and Rariette! Well I was just pronking along when I see a bunch of ponies looking in the windows of the Carousel Boutique like it was major window shopping or a sales display that was super duper fancy, You know like all the other sales she has from time to time like the Cakes when they have their sales but instead of dresses and hats and stuff they have scrumlicious cakes cupcakes and doughnuts and cookies..."
"And MUFFINS" as a crazed mailmare drooled in the gallery.
Twilight banged her gavel "Pinkie what's going on with Spike and Rarity that I don't already know!"
"Oh Spikey and his mane squeeze? his puffy marsh mellow? his plushy come to life?" Pinkie started to twist her hooves into suggestive motions and blushing furiously "They sort of can't get unstuck, like right in the middle of the showroom floor, like stuck".
Twilight looked at the party pony and the gavel, back looking at the party pony then the gavel her mind racing she knew Spike would never ever act like a mule and Rarity even with her rotten tastes in stallions would never take advantage of her little Spikey Wikey after all he was heads over claws for her and she was a business professional first and a lady...A lonely lady and a love struck dragon a male dragon and a female unicorn...
"Hay Apple Jack you owe me twenty bits!" Rainbow Dash cackled in the air hovering over the peanut gallery "Oh hi Twi I think you're needed at Raritys place they're sort of stuck together, Oh I see you're a little busy here I'll be off, anyways AJ you owe me".
And as fast as she entered the courtroom in a flash Rainbow was gone replaced by a large metaphorical white and purple
fire breathing elephant tangled in the court room, the quite murmurs of the crowd became a deafening roar.
"Time to recess the court and get to the bottom of this".

The crowd in front of the boutiques window was a circus of noise and colors as Twilight pushed her way through the mob she dreaded what was to come as she overheard them saying...
"Get a motel room you two".
"He isn't as small as we thought girls".
"Awe look how cute a couple they make".
"Any closer and she'd be behind him".
"You think that's tiring can they try another position?"
"Enough!" Twilight screamed "Don't you ponies have something better to do?"
The crowd parted and looked at their Princess and answered.
"Nope got nothing here".
"I'm on my wine break".
"Na nothing I can think of".
"I'm waiting to see what comes next".
Twilight shook her head and dared to peek at her two friends in the middle of the showroom floor together, Stuck together, really stuck.
Spike was against Raritys chest both their tails showing with their eyes closed, their breathing labored and blushing in a wad of unrolled
wall paper glued together as one. A giant unmoving ball of fur scales and sticky wall paper. Twilight reached for the two.
"No no no no not the scales!" Spike screamed.
"No not the hair!" Whined Rarity.
Pinkie was right they were very stuck together. Warm mare hot dragon equals very fast drying glue.
"And you doubted my Pinkie senses ye of dirty minds" Pinkie Pie smiled an innocent smile "And I thought you bronies were so nice".

"No that was a bath time your mother and I would never forget. A gentledrake would never..."
"Baloney! Auntie Twilight was there and she said..."
"Don't you have a bedtime scheduled right about now?"
"PPPPhhhhhh!"
