Cadance walked down the hall toward Twilight’s room, keeping herself from sweating bullets as she nervously glanced at the guards along the hall. She had never been this nervous before, not even when she had bucked up the courage to ask Shining out on their first date.

“Why the buck am I nervous, I am the goddess of fucking Love, I make other ponies nervous! Come on Cadenza, just reign in your emotions and knock on the door, you already got her to the dating part, you’re a third of the way to her heart already.”

She finally reached the door, knocking on it and waiting nervously till the door opened, Twilight peeking out with a smile on her face before walking out and closing the door. “Hi Cadance, you’re here early.”

“Well knowing you I knew you would be ready early, so I thought it would be nice to show up early as well. Plus if you want to know the truth, I honestly couldn’t wait any longer, I’ve been thinking about this date all day.”

Twilight nodded, flexing her wings before giving her a nervous grin and nodding back down the hallway. “So, what have you got planned for us tonight Cadance?”

Cadance smiled, wrapping one of her wings around Twilight’s as they made their way down the hall. “Well I thought we would go to that one restaurant you like; you know the one that opened up in Canterlot recently.”

“You mean Le’ Hoof, I love that place, though I don’t know how you got reservations, I mean the place has been booked this entire month.”

“oh you’ll find you can get a lot of things done once you start actually using your princess title to get things moving, I know you don’t like to, but it does come in handy once in a while.”

Twilight looked skeptical, but decided not to argue the point, instead pulling her fellow alicorn close as they made their way out of the castle. “You know,” she said, “I think this will be the first time I have been outside the castle in a social manner in over nine hundred years, goddesses it’s been too long.”

Cadance smiled at her, giving her a reassuring hug with her wing as she spoke. “I can understand that, I myself had a hard time after all my friends passed away, but I had Tia and Luna as company, and of course momma as well.”

That got a confused look from Twilight, “But Cadance, I thought you told me your mother died a long time ago?”

“She did,” said Cadance, “but she was not the only pony whom I considered mother. You know from what I told you after you became alicorn that I was a lot older then I originally told you, and for many years after I became an alicorn, I wandered the world alone. I couldn’t bear to be around others due to how much seeing the pass hurt me, but then…well, she found me.”

As if on cue they stopped in the middle of Canterlot square, and Cadance gestured with her wing to the great statue standing in the middle of it, which depicted the great ruler Faust, the first alicorn.

Twilight’s eyes widened as she looked between the statue and Cadance, “She…she found you, but that would mean that you would technically be…?”

“Yes, I am technically step sister to Celestia and Luna, for she took me in and treated me like her own daughter. She was the one who made it so that I could socialize with ponies again, she was the one who taught me to get over my pain and embrace the life I was given. Some days I wish she could be here, I think she really could have helped you back then.”

Twilight nodded, looking back at the statue before following Cadance once again, heading over to the restaurant as her mind raced with many thoughts.

Cadance sipped her wine, watching as Twilight at her food and smiling to herself as the young mare spoke to her. “You know, I always wanted to ask you how you came to rule the Crystal Empire, I never really thought about it before, but I always suspected after the incident with the crystal heart that you’re were connected to it somehow.”

Cadance nodded, setting down her wine before beginning to speak. “Well it was originally Faust that ruled there, before she passed the throne on to me. Luna and Celestia were already ruling over Equestria by that time, and I myself had started to come out of my depressed shell, so Faust felt it was time for me to take over a kingdom of my own.”

She lifted up her fork, taking a bite of food and slowly chewing before swallowing, setting down the fork and beginning to speak again. “I do admit, while I was nervous at first, it was nice to have something tangible again that I could call my own, as well as something I knew would last the ages, like myself. But of course fate can be awfully cruel at times, and to my unfortunate failing, I fell in love with a creature that was not worth the love I had to give.”

The air seemed to grow heavy with those words, and the light around Cadance seemed to dim along with her mood, but it was soon broken as Twilight reached out a hoof, grabbing one of Cadance’s and squeezing it tightly before speaking to her.

“It was Sombra wasn’t it?”

Cadance nodded, her dark look leaving her as she squeezed Twilight’s hoof in return, smiling due to the touch. “I thought I could change him with my love, I thought I could make him into somepony ponies could look up to and take guidance from. But my love for him blinded me to the creature he was, and eventually it led to my being cast out of my kingdom, which forced the hoof of Celestia and Luna, causing them to interfere and bring him down.”

They both remained silent for a long time after that, Twilight going over what Cadance had told her. She had to admit, it was a lot to take in, especially the fact that Cadance had once been in love with Sombra. She really couldn’t see how such a monster could be loved, especially by a being who exuded love from her very being.

“Thankfully though,” said Cadance, breaking the silence, “Sombra is gone forever, though I have to admit that for a moment I…I thought I could save him…”

Twilight got up from her seat, walking around and hugging her close. “It’s ok Cadance, he is gone; you don’t need to carry this pain any longer.”

Cadance nodded, nuzzling close into the mares neck before finally pulling away, not wanting to let temptation get the best of her as she smiled at Twilight. “Thank you Twilight, but as you know some pains just never go away, so let’s just leave it alone for now and get back to dinner.”

An hour later the two mares were found wondering the halls of Canterlot Castle once more again, heading back to Twilight’s room after a nice dinner, the time passing with pleasant chatting and a few giggles here and there.

For the entire walk, Cadance couldn’t keep her eyes off the beautiful mare beside her, smiling as they reached the door and opening it for Twilight to step inside. “I had a wonderful time tonight Twilight, I hope you did to.”

“I did Cady,” said Twilight, causing the mare to blush due to the use of such a personal nickname.

“I’m glad,” said Cadance, “well…I guess I better be going.”

She turned to leave, only to have Twilight stop her with a hoof, causing her to turn back in confusion. Her confusion doubled when she felt Twilight press her lips from her own, but she quickly melted into the kiss, burring the moment into her memory before all to soon they parted, Twilight looking a bit dreamy as she smiled.

“Well…goodnight Cady…”

“Goodnight Twilight.”

Twilight then closed the door, leaving the princess of love both happy, and indecently aroused. So with a quick yip of joy, she left back down the hallway, trotting off to her room to take care of her burning need and the hopefully get some sleep, knowing that she would need it for her next date the following day.

Author's Note

K a quick note from the author before the explanation, the basic date layout for each of the princesses is going to go like this.
First date will be not to long, only breif bit of information as some emotional exchange.
Second date is going to be more in depth, more feelings are going to be exposed, as well as some history about each of our princesses.
The final date is going to be the most intense, strong feeling are going to blossom and be explored during these final dates, and they will all end with a passionate love scene between Twilight and the one of princesses.

You know whats funny, that last bit where Twilight finally kissed Cadance was the part that kept this chapter from being posted for so long, yeah I know, so much time for so few words, what can I say I didn't know how to go about having this happen. As always guys I hope you all enjoy the chapter, and hopefully the next chapter will be posted sooner then this one, though no guaranties as I am working on the next chapter of To See You, so its up in the air at this point..
