On The Wings of Love

Rainbow Dash awoke to a dark house. Glancing over to her alarm clock, she couldn't help but notice it had actually been 16 hours since Twilight cast the sleeping spell on her. Oh well, probably some sort of carry over from how tired she was. Shaking her head drowsily, she sat up and realized that she was starving and thirsty.

"Whoa... talk about a case of cotton-mouth." She mumbled to herself, rolling out of bed and walking towards the kitchen. It wasn't until she wound up accidentally half-falling onto the soft cloud of a doorway arch that she realized that she was still tired. Something was niggling at the back of her mind but she opted to ignore it and fix the problem at hoof.

She was about to look in the cabinets, knowing full-well what was there when she spied a small basket on the counter with some treats from Sugarcube Corner and a note attached.

Hey Dash, Pinkie figured you'd be a bit hungry after you woke up so she had me bring these up. Wouldn't recommend flying until morning. I forgot that the spell can leave your coordination inhibited as a residual effect. Consider it like a hangover minus the headache. Should only last an hour though. Anyways, enjoy!

-Twilight Sparkle

"My friends are awesome!!!" She all but shouted as she threw herself at the basket. Grabbing a donut from the basket, she took a bite and remembered duh... cottonmouth and proceeded to get a glass of water. Downing the glass before turning her attention back to the food, she wolfed down most of the baskets contents in only a few minutes. The treats sat heavily in her stomach and left her feeling drowsy... AGAIN.

Oh well, not like I can go much anywhere right now anyways.

She polished off one more glass of water and crawled back in bed. Sleep coming surprisingly easy this time...

Sunlight was streaming through Dash's windows as she awoke with a jolt, a gasp still half-caught in her throat. Her eyes snapped open as a shiver ran through her whole body. Her heavy, ragged breathing giving indication to just how the dream she had just had, still fresh on her mind, had affected her body.

She thought back to the dream. She was still unable to fully comprehend what had just transpired in her mind, but she did know one thing. It had ended up in her... making love... to Fluttershy?

*POMF*

Somewhat startled, she looked back behind her to see her wings standing at attention. She couldn't help but gawk at them. She hadn't gotten like this since that one time...

Her wings twitched. Clearly, she needed to get THAT subject out of her head.

Jumping out of bed and going back into the kitchen to get the rest of the food from the basket Twilight had left, Dash was still trying to wrap her head around what her dream had meant. She remembered that everything had started at the Best Young Flier Competition. She remembered that look... that happy, almost teary-eyed look that Fluttershy had given her. It had made her heart swell up in her chest like it was about to explode. She remembered the hug that Fluttershy had given her after she got back from hanging with the Wonderbolt's. She remembered so much of that dream as if...

Rainbow froze, a sudden realization hitting her. As if all of that had actually happened... BECAUSE IT HAD.

She swallowed the bite of food in her mouth. Her mind racing as she tried to figure out what it all meant. It wasn't long however before another thought came to her mind.

What if Twilight put that dream in my head? She said there where spells that could do stuff like this.

Rainbow growled out loud. If Twilight did that she was going to make it rain on her every time she stepped outside!

Sprinting across the kitchen and jumping out of her window, Dash headed towards Twilight's tree at high speed.

Twilight was on the balcony of her house, she had been trying to grow some herbs for her kitchen. Actually, more like for Spike to use... She couldn't cook to save either of their lives! They weren't doing to well though. She was looking at the withering stems when suddenly a solid THUMP from behind her got her attention. She turned to see a visibly angry Rainbow Dash behind her. If looks could kill...

"Hey Dash, sleep... well?" Twilight inquired. She didn't understand the look her friend was giving her and couldn't help but shrink back a bit from it.

"Oh I slept 'well' alright, but you and me need to talk." Dash said flatly before opening the balcony door and walking inside.

Twilight followed, about to ask Dash if something was wrong as she closed the door but Dash started the second the door closed.

"Alright, what gives?! You PINKIE. PIE. PROMISED. to NOT put any sort of weird dreams into that spell-sleep you put me under but you did it anyways?!! WHAT THE BUCK TWILIGHT?!!"

Dash was livid.

Twilight got defensive really quickly. "What in the hay are you talking about?! I didn't put any weird dreams into that spell! I just put you to sleep! As a matter of fact! I made SURE to use the spell that WOULDN'T mess with your dream patterns! Anything you dreamed of was on your own Rainbow!"

Dash balked a bit

"B-but... then, how? I-I don't... get it!" Dash stammered "If you didn't put a spell that messes with my dreams, then why did I dream about Fl-" She cut herself off.

Twilight arched an eyebrow at Rainbow. "What?"

Dash started to blush

"Nothing." She said, turning her head to look away from the lavender unicorn.

"Dash, what's wrong? What made you snap like tha-" Twilight stopped as realization dawned on her.

"Uuuh... are you saying... what I think you're saying?"

Dash let out a resigned sigh. She knew Twilight would just pester her until she got the answer.

"I dreamed about Fluttershy last night. I thought you'd pulled a fast one on me with Pinkie or something."

Twilight wore a look of extreme surprise as she asked "Wait, you dreamed about Fluttershy?"

"Yea... What's weird about it is that everything that happened in the dream, happened in real life. The dream started at the Best Young Flier's competition and kept going through events that have happened, then started on stuff that hasn't happened until... well..." Rainbow blushed even deeper. "Yea, the dream got... steamy."

Twilight's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. She was about to tell Dash about how Fluttershy had told her and Pinkie that she loved Rainbow until said pink pony tackled them both.

"Hey Rainbow! Twilight! What's up?"

Neither party addressed could really talk after the violent tackle. They'd been knocked flat onto the ground with the pink earth pony landing on top of them. Suffice to say, both of them had been knocked breathless.

Dash recovered first and, upon noting that Pinkie was effectively straddling her after rolling off of Twilight said "Heh, Pinkie I thought we talked about this..." a hint of hesitation and nervousness in her voice.

"Silly Dashie." Pinkie said, waving her hoof dismissively.

"I'm not going to do anything naughty to you! You've got a big day ahead of you!"

Dash blinked, her friend's prophetic words confusing her thoroughly. As Pinkie hopped off of her and onto Twilight, Dash rolled over and shook herself off.

"Pinkie, of all the ponies I know... you are bar-none. THE CRAZIEST pony I've ever me-" she said as she turned around, stopping as her eyes laid upon the scene before her.

Pinkie was kissing Twilight full on the mouth.

And Twilight was kissing back?!

Dash flopped down on her haunches. She knew Pinkie was a fillyfooler but had no idea that, of all ponies, TWILIGHT
was her marefriend!

"Wha-I-uh?!" Rainbow stammered "Twilight?! You're a fillyfooler too?!" Her genuine shock portraying in her voice and on her face.

Twilight broke the kiss and looked at Dash, a sheepish grin on her face.

"Uh, yea..."

"When the hay did that happen?!"

"Right after my "Lets have an uber-mega-ultra-awesome Friday" Party in August!" Pinkie quipped before nuzzling Twilight's neck.

"Uuuuhh" Twilight moaned slightly "Yea. Things got a bit... heated... after the party." Twilight blushed.

"Wow, I didn't think you had it in ya Twi!" Rainbow said approvingly.

"Neither did I honestly. Had a bit too much of that punch I guess." Twilight said, visibly shuddering at the memory.

"Pfft! You only had two glasses and where staggering around like somepony who'd had five!"

"I'll admit, I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking." Twilight said calmly "Besides, some unicorns have been known to start randomly casting spells when they're drunk... I'd rather not find out if I'm one of those unicorns if you get my drift."

Considering the incident with the Ursa where Twilight had shown just how strong she could be... Rainbow agreed with a nod. Any drunker and with the amount of magical talent Twilight possessed. Twilight could EASILY have leveled ponyville!

"Yea, anyways we got back here and things got sexy pretty quick." Pinkie said, waggling her eyebrows at Dash.

"Pinkie!!" Twilight said with a giggle, pushing Pinkie back lightly.

"Well right on! Like I said, I never thought you of all ponies would be a fillyfooler!"

"Yea. What got me is just how... comfortable I was. The whole time that night and the morning after, I felt like the luckiest, most beautiful mare in Equestria! I know I may not be the most beautiful..." she said, casting her gaze back to Pinkie "but I know I'm one of the luckiest." Twilight laid a hoof on Pinkie's and nopony said anything for a while.

Turning back to Dash, Twilight said "Anyways, back on our previous subject. I didn't plant any dreams into your head. I Pinkie Pie Promised and if I broke it, Pinkie would likely break ME!" She laughed

"Yea, she probably would." Dash said and nodded. "Anyways, I'm gonna get out of your manes. Later." and just like that ran out the door and dove off the balcony. Gliding off over the streets of Ponyville.

"Uuuhh... Bye to you too?" Twilight said, looking at the door Rainbow had all-but sprinted out of.

"Soooo, did I interrupt something?" Pinkie asked Twilight obliviously.

Sitting up a bit, Twilight said "Not really. She was mad because she thought I'd put a... sexual-fantasy-dream spell on her."

"Ooooh. Did you?" Pinkie asked, cocking her head and arching an eyebrow.

"No... but she did tell me who she dreamed about."

She paused before continuing.

"Pinkie, she dreamed about Fluttershy. When I did research on the meanings of dreams, the type I think she had about Fluttershy... would indicate that Rainbow has feelings for her. She may not fully realize it though."

"I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW SOMETHING WAS ON DASHIE'S MIND! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!" Pinkie shouted, leaving Twilight fairly shocked.

"Indeed, and if Fluttershy is what's been on Rainbow's mind... And since we KNOW that Fluttershy loves Rainbow... they-"

"May get together and bake cookies!"

Twilight rolled her eyes. Love her though she might, Pinkie could be incredibly random at times..

"OMIGOSH!! OR MAYBE RAINBOW DASH AND FLUTTERSHY WILL GET TOGETHER AND BE ALL HAPPY AND STUFF!!"

Again, Twilight blinked in confusion. Just what went on in her mares mind... nopony would ever know. However, thoughts kept entering Twilight's mind.

Was it true? Did Rainbow Dash love Fluttershy? If she did, would she make the first move or would Fluttershy? Would either of confess their love? For that matter... Was all this speculation completely wrong to begin with?

Twilight didn't get the opportunity to think about it much though. She felt a nibble at the base of her neck that broke her out of her reverie.

Oh dear Celestia, I may have to be "out of town" again!
