True to the promise she made herself, Twilight took Fluttershy to Canterlot the day after staying with her. As expected, none of her other paramours complained about the unplanned trip. Each of them, with the exception of Applejack, knew that they’d been a bit too eager with their advances upon the princess of friendship.

The alicorn and her buttery yellow pegasus stayed in Canterlot for two days and two nights before returning to Ponyville. Apparently, the rumor mill had been to blame for Fluttershy’s unjust reputation as a sadist. The soft spoken mare had, in fact, seen Soarin, but it had been for a completely legitimate purpose. The Wonderbolt had sought out the pegasus to fix a crick in his back. After a chiropractic session, his problem had been solved, even though he’d left a little stiff at the time.

While on their little getaway, Twilight had pampered Fluttershy, wining and dining the mare while profusely apologizing for her tardiness on the day prior. Of course, the pegasus had forgiven her without a moment’s thought, understanding all too well how enthusiastic the other elements had been while awaiting their dates with the princess.

Upon returning to town, Twilight called a meeting with her friends turned lovers. Although she’d apparently missed a rather brief visit by princess Celestia, who’d apparently run off briefly after visiting Rarity’s shop, the purple alicorn hadn’t missed anything of note while away with Fluttershy. Together, they’d all agreed upon taking residence within the alicorn’s castle, helping one another as they blossomed into motherhood as one big, happy family. The sextet, the Elements of Harmony under the loving eye of the princess of friendship, grew even closer over the years, supporting one another as only a family could. But those are stories for another time...
