MINIFIC MAYHEM

Twilight snored gently as the soft moonlight poured through her bedroom window. She stirred under the covers as she heard something lightly tapping on the glass. As she turned over, the tapping continued, despite her best efforts to ignore it.

Exasperated, she finally woke up and stumbled out of bed. Her groggy walk involved her nearly tripping over Spike’s basket and bumping into her dresser. She blinked her bleary eyes and tried to focus on what was making that awful racket. She squinted, but couldn’t make anything out. Deciding that her time was best spent investigating, she trotted over to the balcony doors and opened them.

To her surprise, a familiar cyan pegasus was hovering just inches from the deck.

“Rainbow! What are you doing here?” Twilight whispered, sounding like a hiss.

“I... I had to see you Twilight. I can’t stop thinking about today...”

“I, uh... neither can I,” Twilight admitted sheepishly. The silvery moonlight did much to hide both ponies blushes.

Rainbow touches down and nervously kicks the wood planks. “So...”

“I don’t know, Dashie. What’ll other ponies think?”

“I don’t care! I just want you! Twilight, I--”

“Ssh! Keep your voice down, Spike is still sleeping!” Twilight hissed.

“Sorry!” Rainbow whispered back. “I... I need to know where things stand between us.”

“I don’t know. What will everypony else think of two mares together? What about the Princess, and my studies? What if I lose my grants? What if you get kicked off the weather team? Wha--”

Twilight was cut off by Rainbow’s sudden kiss. Her panic was replaced by serene smile, matched by Rainbow’s smug expression.

“You worry too much, Twi. And come on, look at Lyra and Bon Bon. No one bothers them about it.”

“I guess you’re right,” Twilight admitted again.

“Of course I’m right! So what now?”

“I guess we start telling ponies. We invite our close friends over and just... tell them.”

“Are you nervous?”

Twilight looked at the ground for a moment, before looking back to Rainbow. “Not if I have you with me,” she said, before giving Dash another quick kiss.
