"But...how...I... Just give me a minute to think about this okay?" Spike shook his head as he turned away from Twilight a little, while he tried to figure out how to make what he had just heard make sense in his head.

"I know, I know, it was so, so stupid of me to go and do something like that, we haven't known each other for very long at all, and I don't know who she really is, but I...but...she looked so... I guess I wasn't thinking, and I just..." Twilight trailed off into silence, as she sighed heavily and hung her head low, feeling ashamed of herself, wondering if she had just ruined the good friendship she was trying to build with the cyan pegasus.

"Wait, how did something like that even happen?" Spike asked, guessing the only way he was going to understand what had led up to the two ponies kissing, is if Twilight started from the beginning.

"Well it was after I had decided to change the subject from talking about the two stories of the big fall out, and which one of them was true, so as to not start an argument. I felt sort of dizzy from thinking about all that I had been told today and yesterday, trying to work it all out in my head, and as the seconds went on I felt more and more overwhelmed with everything that was going on in my head, I think I heard Rainbow Dash calling to me at some point, but I'm not sure as all I remember was that my head was killing me," Twilight explained trying her best to remember what had happened before she had passed out, which was pretty much all just a blur to her now.

"Okay...so what does that have to do with you and Rainbow kissing?" Spike asked as his half eaten late lunch was soon forgotten about, since he seemed to be much more intersted in how the Princess had ended up kissing Rainbow Dash, when all she was supposed to be doing was taking her back to her cloud home.

"I'm getting there...err from there I'm guessing I must have stopped flying and passed out for a minute, since I do remember Dash carrying me on her back and laying me down on a soft cloud, before she nudged me to see if I was okay. I guess I must have just been hungry as my stomach rumbled loudly after I had come out of my dizzy state, and the pain in my head had subsidized somewhat. I did try to stand, but all I did was fall back down again. I can't say I'm surprised that something like that happened, after all I hadn't eaten anything since this morning, and my breakfast wasn't all that filling" Twilight sighed as she felt foolish for letting Rainbow Dash see her like that, and her not guessing what the reason for he suddenly fainting was right away.

"Okay, still not getting how the kiss came into this," Spike looked to Twilight, confused as to how all this that the Princess was telling him fitted into the story of her kissing the rainbow pegasus.

"That's what happens next,"

"What...how?" Spike's voice raised a little as he wondered how Twilight went from feeling a little dizzy and passing out from hunger, to her kissing Rainbow Dash.

"Well...I can't describe what really happened at that point, I was looking at her and I...I'm guessing I wasn't really thinking...I just couldn't hold myself back...while she was looking down to me with that concerned expression on her face, she just looked so...ARGH! What's wrong with me?" Twilight tripped over her words, trying to explain how excatly the kiss had happened, but finding no such words in order to do so, as she just gave up and slammed her head down on to the table in frustration.

Spike sat back on the cushion he was sitting on (which Twilight and him are using as chairs for now), thinking over everything that Twilight had told him, working it all out piece by piece, until he widened his eyes a little and looked to Twilight, putting two and two together, and now understanding the reason as to why the Princess was having so much trouble with telling him how she had kissed the cyan pegasus that she hardly knows.

"Twilight," Spike called to the depressed Princess.

Twilight looked to her assistant, lifting her head off of the table to show she was listening to him, but still seeming awfully down on herself for what she had done.

"Do you think it's possible that you could be having certain...'feelings' for Rainbow Dash?" Spike asked realizing what the reason for Twilight acting the way she was right now just might be, as well as the reason to why the Princess's story didn't really make a lot of sense.

"What do you mean by...'feelings'?" Twilight asked feeling a little nervous now, as she got the idea of where this conversation might just be heading.

"Well I could be wrong...but the way you're acting right now, and the fact that you're struggling so much to tell me what exactly happened, it certainly sounds a lot like somepony who's in...well in love," Spike explained, while that simple statement started to bring even more questions with it.

Twilight's eyes widened as she heard that four letter word leave the young dragon's lips,

"What do you mean? I mean...of- of course not...I hardly know her...there's no way that I could possibly be..." the Princess paused as she could feel her heart racing at a million miles a minute, while her breathing became rapid, and a warm heat rose up and into her cheeks, her entire face turning to a bright shade of red.

"No...there's just no way...I can't be...in love with her...there's just no way...I mean honestly she's just...just so...so...not right for me," Twillight finished with a deep sigh, feeling confused as images of Rainbow's concerned expression ran through her mind, remembering how breathtaking she looked while she was standing in the sunlight in front of her, with the beams of Celestia's sun shining down on her, causing her fur and mane to shimmer, and her eyes to sparkle. Twilight shut her eyes tight and shook her head frantically, hoping to rid her mind of all those thoughts, only to stop and gasp a little when she was reminded of the shocked look Rainbow Dash had given her after she had suddenly kissed the pegasus.

"Hey I said I could be wrong, maybe it's just some little crush that you'll get over," Spike suggested seeing the Princess slowly going into somewhat of a panicked state and not wanting to worsen it.

"Yeah...you're right, I'll get over it in no time, after all Rainbow Dash is still my friend right? Although I might have just ruined that friendship we were building, since I did kiss her and then leave without any explanation or apology for what I had just done," Twilight took a deep breath as she calmed herself down a little and wondered if maybe she should have stayed with Dash and talked to her about what had just happened, instead of flying off like a coward.

"Wait you just left her there, with no explanation for why you kissed her. Twilight you can't do something like that, you've got to tell her how you really feel," Spike stated not knowing much about love himself, but knowing that you can never hide your feelings for very long.

"But...I don't know how I feel, I kissed her without thinking...how am I supposed to know what that means in order to figure out how I feel about her?" Twilight asked as she leaned forward, feeling like slamming her head on to the table again.

"Well what did the kiss feel like, did you like it?" Spike asked.

Twilight sat in silence for a few moments as she thought over how the kiss had felt, realizing that she hadn't yet thought about how the kiss was, and had just been more bothered over how it had happened.

"It was...okay I guess, it gave me a bit of a rush I guess," Twilight spoke in a low tone as she tried to think of a good way to descride how the kiss felt to her, but it seemed like she was mostly at a loss for words, feeling her heart racing in chest again, while she could feel heat rising up into her cheeks as she thought back on to the memory of the kiss.

"Have you ever felt the same when you kissed a pony before?" Spike asked thinking that he could maybe work out if Twilight really was in love with Rainbow Dash.

"Well to be honest I've never been one for relationships, so I've never really kissed anypony, no matter a mare of a different kind," Twilight went back in her mind as most of her years growing up were just filled with studying magic and reading, not much else ever really happened back when she was young, she was always a social outcast who didn't have any friends, and much preferred to hide out in her bedroom, reading books and practicing her magic until the sun went down, then doing anything else.

"Wait...so you're saying that it could be possible that Rainbow was your fist kiss ever?" Spike asked, thinking that he really shouldn't be surprised by this, after all from what Princess Celestia had told him, Twilight would hardly ever leave her room, only ever coming out to get food or to talk to the Princess, and that was it.

"I guess so, I've never made a move on a pony like I did with Dash before now...at least as far as I know I haven't," Twilight searched in her mind from something even remotely close to what had happened with Dash eariler today, but could find nothing, except for all the years she spent on studying and improving her magical abilities back when she was younger.

"I didn't even know I had any kind of interest in other mares before now," Twilight added with a deep sigh.

"Maybe you don't, maybe you just have an interest in this one mare," Spike thought out loud, guessing that if Twilight had never had her first kiss until now, then it was most likely mean that she hadn't had a crush on a pony before now.

"What's that meant to mean?"

"Listen Twilight, I know this may be hard for you, as it seems like you've never had to deal with this kinda stuff in the past, but you need to spend some time thinking and figure out how you really feel about Rainbow Dash, because if you don't go and tell her about what your feelings are, they'll only eat away at you," Spike stated as he knew it may take a while for Twilight to really know why she had suddenly kissed Rainbow like she did, and it would take some good long thinking to find out how she really felt about the pegasus and where they would go from here.

Twilight just nodded in reply as she sighed deeply and went to her bedroom to think things over in peace, while Spike put her untouched lunch in the fridge for now, hoping that maybe she would eat some of it later.

... ...

Later that night after Twilight had finally had something to shut up her noisey stomach, deciding to eat some supper in order to not feel so starved, but still had little to no appetite left by then. She headed to bed early, thinking that all would be fine if she got a good night's sleep, and she just might be able to work this all out if she slept on it a little.

However it seemed no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't fall to sleep, spending half the night tossing and turning over and over again, until she finally gave up and just looked up at the ceiling, sighing deeply while all she could think about was a certain rainbow pegasus.

'What are you doing to me Dash?' Twilight questioned in her mind as she could feel her heart pounding in her chest, while her cheeks were stained with a deep blush.

Twilight thought of getting up and going downstairs to maybe read for a bit, after all it definitely didn't seem like she was going to get any sleep tonight. She kicked the covers off of her as she sat up in her bed and looked around her room, shaking her head a little, hoping that those thoughts of the cyan pegasus would leave her alone for just a few minutes.

However as she slowly got up and out of her bed, and stretched a little, she heard a very faint noise from her bedroom window, which was slightly open, letting some of the cold night air in. She turned to the window, as she tilted her head to the side in confusion, slowly walking to the window, following the faint noise, thinking it was probably just the sound of the window slightly swinging back and froth in the wind.

She looked out of the window as she looked over the quiet town of Ponyvile, seeing that only a few houses still had lights on, while many of them didn't. Sighing as she was just about to close the window, only to hear a certain familiar voice call out to her.

"Twilight,"

Twilight's eyes widened as the pegasus that she had been thinking about non-stop since this afternoon, was now hovering outside her bedroom window, looking to her with a wondering expression, while the Princess was quite surprised to see the pegasus suddenly turn up like this, before she shook her head and came back to her senses.

"Rainbow Dash, what are you doing here?" the Princess asked as she may have been a little too loud.

"Shh..." Rainbow whispered as she looked around the town, just to make sure Twilight hadn't alerted anypony, and sighing slightly when it seemed like none of the few ponies that were still out in the town (instead of in their warm homes) hadn't heard the Princess.

"What do you want?" Twilight whispered, feeling a little embarressed for not being more quiet a second ago, while she avoided Rainbow's eyes, as they seemed to glisten in the glow of the moonlight.

"You wanna go for a fly?" Rainbow smiled.

Twilight looked to Dash for a moment, still avoiding her eyes, but smiled a second later as she was happy to see that kind and considerate smile on the pegasus's lips again, nodding to Rainbow in reply before she went to go check to see if Spike was still asleep. Twilight returned not long after as she reported to Dash that Spike was out cold pretty much, before she slowly sneaked out of her open bedroom window, as her and Dash started to fly off together into the late night.

... ...

As the time passed by slowly, the hours dragged on, while Rainbow and Twilight were on their relaxing fly together, talking to each other about random things, feeling a little awkward as they both knew that they were avoiding talking about a certain subject that had happened eariler toady.

"Did you finally have something to eat then? Because I really don't want you passing out again," Rainbow asked, smiling and noticing that although the Princess did seem back to her normal self now, she still wouldn't look at her in the eyes for some reason. The pegasus didn't think that the two could act like nothing had happened between them of course, but she thought Twilight would at least look at her when they were talking, even if it was a little awkward between them now.

"Don't worry I had some supper before I went to bed, and although I am feeling a little peckish right now, I'm nowhere near straving or anything," Twilight smiled as she nodded to Dash, happy that they could still talk and laugh like this, even after what had happened eariler.

"Good, because when I saw your wings slowing down to a stop, and then seeing you fall...let's just say it was scary, and I don't get scared," Rainbow said with a sigh as she chuckled slightly, causing Twilight to do the same, while they both smiled to each other for a moment.

But as soon as Twilight realised that she was looking into Rainbow's magenta eyes, she immediately turned away and nervously went silent, feeling like she just might lose herself again if she gazed into the pegasus's bewitching eyes for too long, after all that was one of the things that led up to her surprising Dash with a kiss.

"I'm really sorry Dash...I didn't mean to..." Twilight paused as she spoke in a whispered voice, scared to talk about the topic that both of them had obviously been avoiding up until this point.

"You don't need to apologize for it Twilight," Rainbow stated as she smiled to Twilight slightly, while she looked back to her, a little taken aback.

'I guess she's not calling me, 'Princess' anymore,' Twilight thought as she had really only noticed now that Rainbow had been calling her by her name all this time,

"You're not mad?"

"I was surprised, and maybe a little confused, but I'm not mad," Rainbow stated ressuring the Princess that she wasn't mad at her for suddenly kissing her, and then leaving her with no explanation whatsoever.

Twilight sighed with relief as she smiled slightly, glad that Rainbow wasn't angry with her for what she had done, and thinking that maybe she hadn't totally ruined their growing friendship.

"But...I just want to know why you did something like so suddenly, why'd you kiss me Twilight?" Rainbow asked, causing the relaxing atmosphere to quickly turn into one that was much more serious now.

"I...umm..." Twilight struggled to find words as Rainbow had asked her the one question she was really hoping she wouldn't ask her, "Well...I...I don't know, I guess,"

"Do you have feelings for me?"

"I don't know...maybe..." Twilight sighed deeply, now finding that she still hadn't figured how she felt about Dash, did she have feelings for Rainbow? Or was it all just a 'heat of the moment' kind of thing?

"Well I guess I don't expect you to know right away, so I'll let you have a little longer to think about it okay?" Rainbow smiled as she seemed disappointed, but tried to keep a straight face all the same, and not show Twilight how she really felt.

Twilight was going to thank Dash for being so understanding, even though she did deserve an answer for why the Princess did what she did, but instead she just sighed slightly, while she now looked to Rainbow, avoiding her eyes again as she was a little scared that she just might kiss her again. And at that moment she wondered something,

"Dash, how do you feel about me?" she asked, thinking that her attraction towards the pegasus could just be all desire with no real feelings behind it, but how did Dash feel about it all?

Rainbow smiled to Twilight for a minute while the Princess waited for a answer, but kinda doubted that the pegasus would even give her one, after all it's not like she had answered Dash's question about how she felt about her. But surprisingly enough she did answer, just not in a way that Twilight was expecting her to.

Dash slowly slowed down as she just hovered in place, looking to Twilight, while the Princess had her head tilted to the side in confusion, wondering if the pegasus was planning to answer her anytime soon. Dash slowly moved closer to Twilight and leaned in slightly, causing Twilight to shiver slightly when she felt the pegasus's breath on her lips, before the Princess gasped while Rainbow closed the small gap between them and closed her eyes, sighing pleasantly as she pressed her lips to Twilight's ever so softly.

Twilight's eyes went wide as she almost stopped flapping her wings as her whole body froze, managing to just about get her balance back before she started to fall. Feeling confused and helpless while all kinds of different emotions were rushing through her head, overwhelming her in the matter of a single second.

'Dash is...kissing me? What does this mean, does she have feelings for me? Or am I just being played for a fool by her?' hundreds of questions ran through the Princess's mind as she couldn't focus on anything anymore, slowly melting into the kiss as it sent a wild rush through her entire body, causing that small fire hidden deep inside her to ignite brightly and grow quickly,

'It's happening again, I can't control my own actions...I'm losing myself...Dash...' Twilight soon felt her heart racing and her chest feeling tight, while her throat went dry and her eyes began to slowly close. She looked to Dash through half open eyes, sighing as she saw those beautiful magnenta eyes open slightly, before she closed her own and kissed Rainbow back, causing the pegasus to smile, while she too closed her eyes.

Twilight's head had already gone completely blank, as she trembled slightly, feeling herself losing her balance again, trying to stay up in the air and not fall, she knew she shouldn't be doing this right now, Rainbow Dash was a pegasus that she hardly knew, was she really somepony that she could trust?

A small gasp was heard from the Princess as she could feel the slight sensation of Rainbow's hot toungue licking her bottom lip lightly, asking for an entrance. Her eyes opened for a moment as she parted her lips slightly, allowing the pegasus's tongue to dart straight into her mouth, feeling the warm appendage immediately exploring every inch of her walls, their saliva mixing together, while Rainbow encouraged Twilight's tongue to join her's.

Twilight's eyes slowly closed again as she let a small moan of plesaure escape her lips, while she fought back, deepening the kiss as it became much more heated and fierce with every second. The two mares fought for dominance, while the pegasus wrapped her front hooves around the Princess, pulling her close to her chest, as Twilight's wings finally gave up and she stopped flapping them, knowing that she was safe with Dash like this, smiling into the kiss as she felt Rainbow's surprisingly soft cyan fur rub against and mix with her own lavender coloured coat.

Small moans and gasps were heard from the two ponies as the pegasus soon won the intense battle, while the Princess gladly accepted her defeat, leaning into Dash more as their deep kiss grew more and more filled with lust, passion and desire. Twilight feeling all that Rainbow was feeling right now, as all the pegasus's emotions came rushing through her, mixing with her own. And for some reason she could feel tears of overwhelming happiness welling up in her eyes once she had learnt the pegasus's true feelings for her.

Rainbow's eyes opened slightly as she heard Twilight making an odd gasping sound with her throat, getting the message that her breath was quickly running short (clearly she wasn't very experienced with making out for long periods of time), as her breath hitched in her throat, while she tried desperately to breathe through the heated kiss.

Dash wanted this kiss to last forever, not knowing if she would ever get the chance to do something like this again with the Princess, but she couldn't bare to see Twilight struggle to breathe right in front of her like this. She sighed into the kiss as she bit down on the Princess's bottom lip lightly, before she broke the kiss and their lips parted, with a single strand of their mixed saliva still connecting them.

Both mares panted heavily, trying to get their breath back, while they gazed into each other's eyes. Dash sighed with a slight smile catching her breath first (being the more experienced one between the two), as she flew over to a nearby cloud and softly lay Twilight down on to the pillow, standing over her protectively, while she pecked her forhead lightly, causing the Princess to close her eyes for a moment, still panting heavily, as her eyes opened again a second later and she looked up to Dash, sighing deeply.

"Did that answer your question by any chance?" Rainbow asked with a smile as she slowly licked her lips, still tasting the Princess on them.

Twilight just nodded as she cleared her throat, and swallowed slowly, breathing deeply as her heart just wouldn't seem to calm down, pounding loudly in her chest, causing her entire upper body to feel incredibly tight. She gazed up to the pegasus as her front hooves were now wrapped around her neck, watching as the dim glow of the moonlight made this beauty before her glisten and shine in the late night.

'I may not know how I feel about her just yet, but...oh Celestia...did that feel good...' Twilight thought as she was finally able to get her breath back, while her heart was still going crazy, her mind was slowly becoming more focused now, and the heat rising into her cheeks had began to spread all over her body.

"You okay?" Rainbow asked looking a little concerned that that kiss may have been a little too much too soon for the Princess. Dash leaned down as she nudged Twilight, and smiled as Twilight just nuzzled into her neck in reply, before she pulled the Princess close again, and brought her onto another deep kiss, Twilight happily closed her eyes and returned the kiss a second later.

'Well I now know what Dash's feelings are for me...but I still have no idea what mine are for her...' Twilight thought with a sigh, before she felt Dash beginning to deepen their kiss again, and moaning slightly in reply, while she allowed the pegasus to take complete control of her, feeling totally helpless against this skilled (and possibly dangerous) pony that she just might have fallen for.
