Twilight was relieved when Cadance had finally answered her letter. She was even more surprised when her old foalsitter dropped by. Then again Cadance wanted to avoid the whole fanfare a town went through in order to welcome royalty.

"All the books in the world can fillyour head with anything, but nothing is more correct than what's in here." Cadance said as she pressed her finger against the Unicorn's chest where her heart laid. "The only guide you ever need is right here."

"That's just it Cadance, I'm afraid. When it comes to romance I'm rather clueless and I don't know what I'm doing. What if I'm mixing up affection and love? What if it turns out we're not compatible. What if…if he turns out like him?"

"Now Twi has Naruto given any indication he is like Blueblood or any of those other colts from the academy?" She asked.

For a brief moment Twilight fell into silence before whispering, "Well no…its just…" She looked up at the princess of love. "…what if he grows tired of being around me? I mean I'm not as pretty, or outgoing, or social as the others."

The princess of love looks down to Twilight who was still in the midst of stammering.

"Uugh you silly filly." Cadance wrapped an arm around Twilight, pulling her into a hug. "You are perfectly beautiful for a mare of your size and age. There is more to being in a relationship then desiring each other's bodies. You are an intelligent and driven mare. From what you told me from your dates he's no slouch when it comes to using his head either." The work the two had done together in the recreaton of seals and how chakra and magic interacted was quite astounding.

"There's no guarantee things will work out. If something goes wrong not only could I lose him I could ruin things with our friends as well."

Cadance nuzzled the flustered mare in an attempt to reassure her. "Trust me Twilight, friends, will friends will stand by you and even relationship problems are incapable of driving wedges between you. If you really want to know whether you should continue down the path you're going all you have to do is one simple thing."

It was unusual for Twilight to up and invite him out of the blue, but since Naruto was doing nothing he accepted the invitation.

Said she needed some help with some paperwork. That in itself was unusual, but Naruto didn't think much of it.

It wasn't until the Unicorn made her move did the blond realize there were ulterior motives behind the invitation.

It was when she had reached out and grabbed his hand. A first seeing as any contact was a result of him initating things.

Twilight blushed, but holding hands felt right, so she didn't pull away. She saw Naruto gaze at he. Surprise and curiosity was what made up his features.

Naruto scooted closer and adjusted so their interlocked hangs felt less stiff.

"Twilight." He softly called.

She lifted her head and faced him. His eyes met hers.

They sat in silence for a while, staring into each others eyes. Eventually, Twilight saw Naruto's eyes flicker down to her lips, then back up to her eyes.

Naruto brought his face closer to hers. However, just as he was inches from her lips he stopped, waiting to see what she would do.

Twilight, acting on instinct and ignoring the butterflies in her stomach. She closed her eyes and leaned forwards.

Their lips met. Twilight wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck and pulled his body flush against hers. Naruto slid his arms around her waist and returned the embrace.

The kiss was slow, gentle and loving. They both savored it for what felt like forever. Finally, they broke off, and Twilight opened her eyes to stare into Naruto's.

"Wow…" she mumbled. Cadance had been right. In order to understand how she felt she needed to completely let go and stop thinking. She needed her mind to be empty and let her heart decide.

"Wow indeed."

Twilight pulled Naruto in for another kiss. It felt good. It felt right. She pushed into their kiss, savoring the amazing feelings coursing through her. She was beginning to understand why ponies liked making out so much.

When she felt his hand on her knee she couldn't help the pleasant shiver that coursed through her. That intensified as he massaged her leg up until his hand began to slide up her leg, disappearing up her skirt.

"Naruto, wait," she whispered. He backed off slightly. "It's too soon; we're not even officially together yet…" she managed to say. There was a small part of her that made her say that. He was making her feel really good, but she wasn't emotionally prepared for that. She looked up in his eyes, hoping that she hadn't blown her chances. She didn't want him to think of her as a tease. Why couldn't dating be simple like advance Calculus?

"Well then my little spark, does that mean you have plans of joining the family?" He asked as Twilight's cheeks heated up.

'His little spark?' She couldn't help but swoon slightly. "If you'll have me. I can't imagine a reason Rare will say no so welcome to the family. So since I'm here, what shall we do for our third date?" He said laying a kiss on her.

"I suggest.." a kiss claimed her lips, "…staying home…" another kiss, "…and getting to know each other…" Whimpers escaped her lips as he playfully nipped at her neck. For whatever reason Naruto was a bit more forward than he usually was. Then again the pleasant feeling coursing through Twilight told her this was not a bad thing at all.

Golden Oaks Library was brimming with excitement. The herd found itself welcoming its latest two members. Though the majority of the excitement was Pinkie celebrating being in a herd with all her besties, a dream come true for the party mare.

After prying Naruto's lips from a squealing Twilight's neck he was sent into town so the mares could welcome Twilight and Rainbow and discuss matters on how to rearrange their schedules.

The blond being there would have only served as a distraction. So now they could discuss the next manner. Now that they all have some private time with the blond and were sure of their feelings it was a matter of prioritizing got to be with him when and the matter of group dates.

With so many mares in the herd they now reached a point where one or member of the herd had available days on the same date. So they needed to come to an agreement what was okay and what wasn't okay to do, place to go, or to be used during the dates.

"So we are all in agreement with our test run partners?" Rarity asked, looking around the table as everypony nodded.

If they were going to work as a herd that meant being comfortable in a dating setting and able to act around their herd sisters.

So far the groups were broken down into Pinkie and Fluttershy as a pair. Rarity and Ditzy as another with Rainbow, Applejack, and Twilight as the final group. This was also going to prove to be a good way for them to get to know each other better.

If they were going to be a family that meant opening up more and learning to live and deal with each other's faults and quirks. So they were going to have moments where they visited each other's place of business and home and become immersed in their environments. They were going to learn what made each other them and spend time growing closer as friends and exercise their bonds as friends instead of solely just focusing on their love life with their stallion.

As pleasant as the romance have been so far they weren't willing to completely forsake their lives and dreams for it.

"I just can't wait to have Narry try our cupcakes." Pinkie Pie was rather thrilled and looking forward to the date. She and Fluttershy were down at the bakery as they were whipping up a batch of treats for tomorrow.

Thankfully Fluttershy was a rather proficient baker herself so Pinkie didn't need to spend time teaching her or hovering over her.

Fluttershy herself was feeling rather anxious. She was looking forward to it, as their memory drifted to the last date. Maybe. Just maybe she would feel a bit more courageous this time. A faint red dotted her cheeks as she wondered if she should wear that one dress she was always too embarrassed to wear.

She wondered. She wondered if maybe he was going to get a bit frisky? 'Oh my.' The blush intensified. Was she ready for something like that? 'Well…I wouldn't be against it.' Ever since the topic of sex had been brought up Fluttershy had felt a subtle stirring in her loins. Mating season was only a few months away. The thought of having to spend three weeks away from Naruto saddened her, unless she took the potion, but then…she suddenly found herself having to fan herself with both her wings. 'Oh I hope I don't end up taking advantage of him.' She thought, clasping her cheeks. For a brief moment there was a single traitorous thought that flickered. 'But I wouldn't mind the other way around.'

"Hey Fluttershy, test out this cupcake will ya?" Pinkie asked as the latest batched was cooled off.

"Sure Pinkie."

"And I think a Museum would be so lame." Not all groups were going along swimmingly. Twilight was beginning to wonder if Rarity paired them up to save herself the trouble of having to come up with a mutual enjoyable date without having to deal with Rainbow, Applejack, or both. "What we should do is something cool like go see an air show or something."

"Ah thank ya Dash fi your ideas will result in mah hooves sticking to the ground. Ya want some entertainment lets do somethin' that don't require us to sit on our hindquarters for hours."

Celestia help her. This was going to be a long night.

"Do you have everything you need, darling?" she asked as Ditzy stepped out from behind the screen.

"Why am I doing this again?" She asked, picking at the skirt.

"Because Ditzy what better way to catch our stallion's eyes than showing off those curves of yours? You hide them too often with those clothes of yours." Ditzy's reveal of her background had struck a chord within Rarity when she noticed a discrepancy in Ditzy's background and the fact she didn't live in the nicest place. Upon learning she received checks from her grandmother that she rarely used unless it was for her daughters had made Rarity think about her own past.

She looked over to her workstation where a photo of her sweet baby sister laid. She didn't have to worry. Sweetie Belle was with them. She was not going anywhere. Nopony was going to take her away.

Rarity had turned her focus back to the mare. Wanting to do her best to help the mare anyway she could. She knew a mail mare's salary didn't go a long way to support oneself and two daughters, especially in such a small town. At the very least she'll be given time to get to know her herd sister a bit better.
