It was now early morning of the next day as Princess Twilight had not long woken up, and was now sitting up in Rainbow Dash's bed, having spent the night at the pegasus's cloud home. Twilight had said that she would just go back home, but after some persistent perdsuading from Dash the Princess decided to stay the night, with her sleeping in Rainbow's comfy bed, and Dash sleeping downstairs on her couch for the night.

Twilight sighed deeply as she looked around the unfamiliar bedroom she had spent the night in. It wasn't very big, but it was bigger than her own bedroom back in the library, however it was nowhere near the size of her old room at Canterlot Castle. Although the room was somewhat bigger then the Princess's was, it didn't have much more furniture (or anything really) in it than Twilight's did.

There was a round shaped bed (which Twilight was currently in right now), with fluffly white clouds in a bright blue sky as the quilt cover, a beside table with a small lamp placed on it, a coat rack with a couple of old wolly hats, as well as a few warm jackets and scarves hung up ready for winter, a couple of pairs of wram silppers just below the coat rack on the could floor, some saddle bags seemed to have been thrown beside the coat rack as the lay forgotten on the floor, and a small book shelf in the corner of the room, looking like none of the books had been touched in years, along with one or two awards that could most certainly do with a nice dusting.

Twilight's dark purple eyes gazed up to the ceiling, now seeing a few old posters of famous flyers, as well as a dozen advertisements of an well know aerial team, who Twilight recognized as, 'The Wonderbolts'. The Princess smiled when she saw that one or two of the posters had certain autographs written on them, guessing that the members or maybe even the Captain had signed them.

It was a nice room and all, definitely looked like it belonged to the colourful pegasus, and if Twilight didn't still feel so confused on how she felt about Dash, then she would have spent more time admiring it all, indstead she just slouched and looked to her front hooves, still having no idea what her feelings towards the pegasus just might be.

'What's wrong with me? I can't just sit here and expect nothing to happen between me and Dash now. I guess it's ture that not a lot happened last night, I did agree to stay round till morning, but that long kiss we shared in the sky was all that we did. Right now all I can think about is how unbelievably good the whole experience felt to me, having her forlegs wrapped around me, holding our bodies close together, while her lips connected to mine perfectly, along with our tongues dancing passionatly with each other, as our hot saliva mixed together...I don't think I've ever felt like that before in myentire life,' Twilight sawllowed loudly, as she remembered that deep kiss with the pegasus, while she could feel heat rising up into her cheeks.

'Dash obviously has deep feelings for me, but I still don't know if I like her, or if desire is the only thing that's between us for me,' Twilight clenched her teeth together, as she just wished she knew how she felt about Rainbow Dash, was it love, or nothing more then a simple heat of the moment situation?

The Princesss didn't seem to have much more time to think to herself, as she soon heard a small knock on the closed door. Twilight's ears twitched slightly as she turned her head to the door, looking to it with a wondering expression. The door opened slightly as the owner of the bedroom came walking into the room with a greeting smile on her face, while she looked to the Princess,

"Morning Twilight, you sleep well?" the cyan pegasus asked as she walked over to the bed, smiling politely to the Princess, gald to see that she hadn't woken her up, guessing that she had already been awake for a bit, before she had come to greet her.

Twilight smiled back to Rainbow as she nodded to her, "You didn't have to lend me your bed last night you know, I would have been fine with sleeping on the couch, or going back home,"

"Twilight you're a guest, and a Princess above all else. Besides I didn't mind sleeping on the couch, it was actually quite comfortable...and I really didn't want to just let you go back to your home like nothing had happened between us last night," Rainbow stated smiling slightly, her face stained with a light shade of pink as she thought back on all that had happened between her and the Princess last night.

"I guess you have a point there," Twilight nervously nodded as she slightly turned away from Rainbow, feeling a little uneasy, while the two ponies went into a uncomfortable silence for a moment.

"You've got a nice room, I didn't really get a good look of it last night, but...it sure does suit you well," the Princess sighed slightly as she changed the subject, not really wanting to be talking about last night just yet.

"You think so?" Rainbow raised an eyebrow to the other mare.

Twilight nodded in reply, "I can see that you like the Wonderbolts," she smiled as she looked to the many posters of the famous aerial team again.

"Are you kidding, I'm practically one of their biggest fans, and I'm pretty sure I've even got one of their rare signed uniforms hidden somewhere safe," Dash sounded excited now as Twilight was glad to see that she was able to successfully change the subject, getting rid of that tension that was between them a minute ago, while Rainbow went on to further express her interest in the famous group of pegasi known as the, 'Wonderbolts', with a bright smile on her lips.

"I bet you could be a member Dash," Twilight stated, causing the pegasus to look back to her, a little taken aback.

Dash just shook her head at what Twilight had said, chuckling slightly, "Yeah right, in my dreams,"

"I'm serious, I've seen how you fly before, and there's no doubt in my mind that you'd make a great Wonderbolt someday," Twilight explained, trying her best to keep Rainbow distracted, so that they wouldn't have to talk about the matter that they would have to eventually deal with, "After all I can see that you have a fair amout of awards because of your flying over there," Twilight pointed to the dusty awards that sat on the old bookshelf with a hoof.

"What those? They're all from flight school, everypony got them, even weaker flyers like Fluttershy," Rainbow looked over at the bookshelf, and sighed at the fact that she hadn't even looked at those old awards for years now.

"Oh," Twilight's smile formed into a frown as her mood seemed to have dropped slightly, but shook her head as she tried to stay postive, "I still believe you'd make a great member to the group, I mean come on you're 'Rainbow Dash', ' The fastest flyer in all of Equestria', right?"

Dash chuckled in reply with a nod, "The one and only, after all I can perform a load of awesome stunds, not to mention that I have been known to pull off a 'Sonic Rainboom' from time to time,"

"That's the spirit, not many pegasi can say that, can they? In fact I think I've only seen it done once or twice," Twilight smiled as she was happy to see that ego that the pegasus has shine through, actually feeling thankful that Rainbow was the kind who thrives on attention.

"Oh really, well I'd be happy to show you sometime. I will admit it is quite a sight to see, I surprise even myself with how well I can pull it off," Rainbow bragged on, smiling proudly while Twilight nodded to her, just wanting to keep her talking really and not let the other subject be brought up again, even if that did mean having to listen to the arrogant pegasus boast about how great she was.

"I loved to see it sometime, after all it doesn't matter what other ponies may think, to me you're already the greatest flyer in all of Equestria, Dash," Twilight smiled, hoping to fuel the pegasus's ego more, and keep her on the subject for a good while.

Dash's magenta eyes went wide as what Twilight had just said caused her heart to skip a couple of beats, while her expression changed into one of more surprise, as she looked to that adorable smile that the Princess had on her lips right now. Getting a little caught up in the moment Rainbow leaned into Twilight more as she surprised the Princess with how close she had suddenly gotten to her.

Twilight's smile formed into a look of surprise as she saw Dash lean into her, feeling the pegasus's warm breath on her lips while heat rose up into her cheeks again, causing them to turn to a deep red, as her heart started to beat a little faster,

"Dash..." Twilight whispered as she rested a hoof on Rainbow's chest, and pushed the pegasus away from her slightly, turning away from her quickly, as not to get drawn into those bewitching eyes of her's. Twilight only now just relalized that she may have gone a little too far just then, as it seemed like what she had just said had caused Dash to act differently to what she had hoped.

Rainbow ignored the Princess's hoof pressing against her chest, as she just leaned in more to the point where her's and Twilight's muzzles were almost touching, as they were just inches apart from each other. Twilight pulled away from Dash slightly, turning away from her, and looking down to the bedsheets nervously.

The Princess bit her bottom lip as she felt Rainbow get closer again, leaning into her even more, causing Twilight to shiver all over as she felt the pegasus's breath on her fur, while Dash whispered into her ear,

"Can't I kiss you?"

Twilight really didn't mind kissing Dash, she really liked it in fact, but she knew that if she allowed herself to be lost to this pegasus again, it would take her a while for her to come back to her senses. Not only that, but letting Dash kiss her here could no doubt easily cause the topic of last night to be brought back up again, which is something she really didn't want to happen right now.

However it didn't seem like Twilight had much of a choice here, as she felt Rainbow's hot tongue against her fur, while the pegasus slowly gave her ear a long slow lick, starting from the bottom, and ending right at the very tip, causing Twilight to tremble slightly in return,

"Dash...don't...your tongue feels rough..." Twilight whispered as she moaned slightly under her breath, trying her best to not get caught up in the moment, and allow herself to play into the pegasus's hooves, but unfortunately it was a battle that she was quickly losing.

Rainbow caused Twilight's eyes to widen again, as she slowly used her hoof to make the Princess look back to her, causing their lips to brush against each other ever so slightly. Twilight tried to avoid looking into the pegasus's eyes, knowing that she would only get lost in them.

"Don't you want me to kiss you?" the pegasus asked in a whispered tone.

"That's not it, Dash I-

Twilight was cut off as Dash slowly closed the tiny gap between them, pressing her lips to the Princess's, and smiled into the kiss, while she looked to the other mare's surprised expression. Twilight wanted to pull away and push Dash off of her at that moment, but just like last night, she couldn't help but fall helpless to this pegasus, as her expression softened and her eyes began to slowly close.

She was a powerful alicorn, and even a Princess, but when it came to this particular pegasus, it seemed like all that didn't matter anymore, as whenever they so much as kissed Twilight couldn't do anything to fight back or refuse, all she could do was accept her defeat and allow Rainbow Dash to take her breath away, overwhelming her in a matter of a single second.

'No...I can't let this happen again...' Twilight thought as she was determined to stay focused, and not let Rainbow take complete control of her, however that wasn't an easy task, as she was already feeling like she was losing herself, looking to the pegasus through half open, watery eyes, desprately trying to keep them open, while her eyelids grew heavier with every breath that she took.

'...but...this feels...so good...oh Dash...how do you keep doing this to me?' Twilight questioned, before she finally gave into her desire and tempation, letting her eyes slowly close as she melted into the kiss, while Dash watched and slowly pushed her tongue into the other mare's mouth, not bothering to ask for an entrance, her magenta eyes still open, as she smirked at Twilight's ashamed expression at the fact that she had let herself fall vitcim to the pegasus's skillful advances once again.

The slight moans and gasps escaping from Twilight's lips were like music to Rainbow's ears, as she deepened their kiss after she heard each one, causing the moment to become more heated and ferice as Dash explored each and every inch of Twilight's mouth, playing with her tongue every so often, encouraging it to join her's.

Twilight had lost herself completely now as she soon started to fight back and let her tongue begin to twist and turn along with Dash's, the two starting a instense battle for domiance that Twilight soon let Rainbow win, backing down and sighing into the kiss, knowing that the pegasus was going to be the victor no doubt anyway.

The Princess's small moans began to slowly grow louder, as her breath was now running short, and she could feel Rainbow sucking on her tongue. Her heart pounded loudly in her chest causing her entire upper body to feel tight, now stuggling to breath through the kiss a little while her mind had long gone completely blank. Rainbow climbed on to her bed as she stood over the Princess, pinning her down on her back, while Twilight linked her forlegs around the pegasus's neck, holding the mare close to her while their kiss seemed to be going on forever

'She's...she's biting...my tongue...I can't breath...anymore,' Twilight soon found herself making that strange gasping sound again, as she tried to breathe through the heated kiss, her lungs begging for air. Rainbow noticed this rather quickly as she looked to the Princess with her eyes still wide open, making the kiss last a little bit longer, before she bit down on Twilight's bottom lip lightly, and their lips parted, Dash smiling as she looked to the panting mare, who now lay beneath her.

"That...wasn't fair, Dash," Twilight managed between heavy and spaced out pants, her eyes now open and welling up with slight tears, as she tried to catch her breath, while she gazed up at this wonderous pegasus that made her feel something she had never felt for any kind of pony before.

"Sorry," Rainbow smiled slightly down to Twilight, leaning down to the Princess, nuzzling into the lavender mare's neck, "I couldn't help it,"

"I know," Twilight sighed slightly as she hugged the pegasus close to her, feeling ashamed of herself, thinking that she maybe could have tried harder there, instead of just allowing herself to be caught up in the heat of the moment again.

"I love you Twilight," Rainbow whispered into Twilight's neck, laying a couple of light kisses on her fur.

The Princess's eyes widened a little when she heard that, she already knew how Dash felt about her, but to hear her say it out loud like that, when she herself couldn't even work out what her feelings were, it made her wonder, when did Rainbow relalise how she felt about her, and how?

"How do you know," Twilight asked in a low tone, thinking that she might be able to work out how she felt, if she heard how Dash had come to the conclusion that she was in love with her.

"Know what?" Rainbow asked as she pulled away from Twilight slightly, raising her eyebrow to her, while she smiled at the feeling of the other mare's tail softly brushing against her flank.

"How do you know you really love me? I mean I kissed you so suddenly yesterday, not to mention the fact that I myself don't know exactly why I did it. And yet you can just come and say that you love me the next morning like you didn't even have to think twice about it," Twilight explained as she was a little confused over how Rainbow had suddenly worked out what her ture feelings were towards the Princess, while she herself was still puzzled by the whole thing.

"Well..." Dash paused for a minute as she thought about Twilight's question, before she sighed slightly with a smile, and lied down on her stomach beside the Princess on her bed, the other mare now having let go of her, while she looked to the pegasus with a wondering expression, waiting for her answer.

"To be honest I didn't how to feel at first, after you kissed me I went home feeling angry, confused and maybe even a little upset. From there I just couldn't seem to relax, I was constandly thinking of you, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, the only thing I could do was think about you and that kiss. But everytime that I did allow myself to go back to that kiss, my heart would instandly start racing, and I would feel intense heat rise up into my face, before it would then spread to the rest of my body." Rainbow started to explain all that happened to her after Twilight had kissed her yesteday afternoon, and how she had felt about it all.

Twilight nodded slowly, feeling a little uneasy, as these feelings that Rainbow was telling her about were starting to sound an awful lot like how she had felt after the kiss, wanting to hear more from Dash as she snuggled up closer to her.

"I've had one or two crushes in the past, on both mares and colts, but this was nothing like any of them, it all felt so different when I thought about you. I had always thought there was something that I kinda liked about you, and I couldn't really figure out what it was until you kissed me. It all made sense to me then, why I could relax around you so much, without having to keep my guard up all the time. Why I found it so much easier to find comfort in you then anypony else, why it made me happy just to see you smile, why I trusted you and agreed to let go of the past, and try again with the ponies of Ponyvile. Why I liked spending time with you so much, and why I couldn't bring myself to pull away when you kissed me." Rainbow now turned away slightly from Twilight, as her cheeks were stained with a light shade of pink,

"You made me feel something that no other pony has made me feel before, and that kiss...that kiss helped me realise that, it made me realise what my real feelings for you were. And it didn't take me long to understand that those feelings, were in fact love," Dash ended with a low toned voice, feeling nervous now as she glanced back to Twilight slightly, and finished her explanation of how she had come to find that she was in love with the Princess that she had only met a few days ago.

Meanwhile all through that explanation Twilight had been thinking over everything that Dash was telling her, realizing that it all sounded so much like how she had felt from when she had come home after the kiss had happened, to waking up this morning after spending the night in the pegasus's bed.

'Unlike Dash I don't think I've been in love before, in fact I'm not sure if I've ever had any sort of crush like she has. And because of that I don't know if this is just a simple crush, or if it could be something like love. Maybe if I had had feelings like this for somepony else before this happened, then I might know how I feel about Dash, but I haven't. Nopony has ever made me feel how Dash makes me feel, so is that love? Or is it all just desire that I'm feeling for her?' Twilight wondered as Rainbow telling her how she had found out her feelings hadn't seemed to help her in figuring out what her own feelings were whatsoever.

"You okay Twilight?" Rainbow asked as she now looked to Twilight, wondering why the Princess looked so lost in her thoughts right now. Twilight shook her head as she looked back to Dash now, bringing her attention back on to the pegasus laying beside her, while she rolled over on to her stomach, and rested her head on Dash's pillow.

"Huh? Yeah I'm fine, thank you for telling me Dash," Twilight smiled to Rainbow slightly, pushing all her thoughts to the back of her mind for the moment.

"No problem, so what about you? Have you figured out how you feel about me yet?" Rainbow asked the exact question that Twilight was really hoping she wouldn't ask her, as the Princess nervously sighed while she shook her head slowly.

"I have been trying, but the only thing I know for now is the fact that I'm attracted to you, in a way that I've never been to any other pony before. I really like kissing you and all, but whenever that happens I can't help but become helpless, and just end up losing myself all the time. I mean a lot of what you were saying did sound an awful lot like how I was feeling after the kiss happened, but I'm still not sure if that means I have the same feelings for you, as you do for me," Twilight explained as it still didn't seem like she knew how she felt about Dash, she knew that she liked spending time with her, and she knew that there were a couple of times she had felt like there was maybe something more between them then 'just friends' before, but none of that really helped with finding out if it really was love that she felt for the Pegasus.

"Well that's okay I guess, I'll let you think about what your real feelings are for me a little more, before I start asking for a answer alright?" Dash smiled as she got the hint that it didn't seem like Twilight had fallen for anypony before, also guessing that she hadn't kissed any but her in probably her whole life. All this may have surprised her if it was any other pony, but over the short time that she had known Twilight for, she had learned quite a lot about her, so it didn't come as much as a surprise that this was probably the first time she had gone through this kinda thing, making it understandable as to why she was having so much trouble with it all.

"Thanks Dash," Twilight smiled to Rainbow, feeling greatful that the pegasus was being so undertsanding right now about all of this.

"Just don't keep me waiting for too long okay?" Dash smiled as she leaned into the Princess more, and pecked her on her cheek lightly.

"I'll try not to," Twilight replied as she chuckled, and blushed slightly at the light peck to her cheek.

"So you wanna stay round for a bit longer? I can make you breakfast if you like," Rainbow asked as she not-so-subtly lay her wing over Twilight's back, causing the Princess to smile in reply and cuddle up beside the pegasus.

"I would love to Dash, but I've got to get back home before Spike wakes up, he'll only worry and question me about later if he wakes up to find me gone," Twilight explained as she would have liked to have stayed round for some breakfast, but knew that she'd only regret it later when Spike would wake to find her gone.

"Fair enough, want me to fly you home then indstead?" Rainbow asked, not really wanting things to end here, and wanting to spend a little more time with the Princess if she could.

"Sure," Twilight nodded in reply with a smile to the pegasus, seeming to also be happy that their time together wasn't just ending here, as the two ponies cuddled for a little longer, before they headed off to the library in Ponyvile. Luckily the two had made it back in time, and Twilight was able to sneak back in through her bedroom window before Spike had woken up, Dash leaving her with a quick kiss goodbye, and a whole lot to think about.

... ...

From there many days, and even a couple of weeks started to pass by, with Twilight still not coming any closer to figuring out how she felt for Rainbow Dash. She had tried over and over to sit down and really think about how she felt, and where she and the pegasus should go from where they were right now, but everytime that she did try to work it out, it would all just confuse her even more than when that first kiss had happened.

She hadn't seen Dash since that morning where she learnt of Rainbow's feeling towards her. She had gone over all that Dash had told her, and although her story would no doubt sound an awful like how the pegasus's was, she still wasn't sure if she really felt the same way that Dash felt about her, after all she had never been in love before, so how was she supposed to know how it would feel?

Because of the all the confusion she was going through, Twilight had tried to distract herself by making herself busy, taking on any task whenever they came up, which wasn't something she could keep doing for very long it would seem, since there wasn't much trouble that ever really went on in Ponyvile or Cloudsdale, the two towns had been apart for years now and had learnt to stay to themsevles, neither one of them wanting to cross the border. And by the looks of things Rainbow Dash may have been one of the only pegasi that was willing to make a change and try again, however Twilight couldn't bear talking to the rainbow pegasus right now.

The Princess knew that Dash would probably be expecting an answer by now, but it was just answer that she didn't have just yet. If she saw Rainbow now, not only would it be almost painfully awkward between them, but she just wouldn't have any kind of way to tell the pegasus how she felt if the subject ever came up, which no doubt it would.

Twilight wondered why she was finding it so hard to figure out how she felt, she was no doubt a very smart pony, who had devoted pretty much all of her childhood to endless studying, and completing everything up to a more than impressive standard, but even so when it came to this certain pegasus she was well and truly stumped it would seem.

The stressed Princess sighed, as she lay her head on the small table that Spike and her used as a dining table, not feeling like eating her breakfast this morning, the same with most mornings as she hadn't been eating or sleeping all that well with all this weight that was always on her mind.

Spike looked to Twilight with a concerned expression, he had been worrying about her for weeks now, he knew she wasn't sleeping well, and he hardly ever saw her eat anything. He had tried countless time to ask what was wrong with the Princess, but all she would ever say was that she have a few things on her mind, and that was it. He wasn't sure why Twilight had been so distant so suddenly , which meant that he wasn't sure how exactly to help her out, all he knew was that this all started on that night that Twilight had come home, and told him about how she had kissed Rainbow Dash.

He had asked the Princess a hundred times about if she had talked to Rainbow about it yet, and all she would do was go slient, walking away and refusing to answer her assistant, and although Spike did believe that talking to Rainbow would be the best way to help her in this situation, it was very obvious that that wasn't an option that Twilight was willing to try out.

Spike felt like making conversation with the Princess, but just wasn't sure if he should even try or not, since almost evey time he had tried it before, he wouldn't really get much of a reponse from Twilight.

"Hey Spike?" Twilight spoke in a low tone, surprising Spike, as she hadn't been willing to start, or even hold a conversation for weeks now.

"Yeah?" Spike asked, hope that maybe Twilight would finally open up to him about all that she was feeling, and maybe he could start to help her out in return, as he had been wanting to do all along.

"What does love feel like?" Twilight asked as she glanced to her assistant slightly, her mind still clearly somewhere else right now.

"This about Rainbow Dash again?" Spike smiled, already guessing the answer.

Twilight just nodded in reply as she slowly sat up straight in her seat, she had asked Spike this same question over and over again, and everytime his answer was the same.

"I've told you this before Twilight, what you say sounds like love to me, but it's something that you need to figure out for yourself, and the only way you'll be able to do that, is by talking to Rainbow Dash about it all," Spike explained, having heard this questions a lot over the past few weeks.

Like every other time, Twilight just went back to staying slient again, not wanting to talk to Spike about what had happened on that night when she snuck out and spent the night at Dash's. Maybe telling him what had happened would make this all so much easier, but she didn't really want to tell him that until she found for herself if she really did love Rainbow back, after all Dash told her how she felt, so in return she wanted the pegasus to be the first to know what her feelings were, when she did eventually find out what they were.

After a few moments of slience between the two, there was slight knock at the door, which caused Spike to smile brightly, as he jumped up from his seat and picked up his empty plate from the table.

"Twilight can you get that for me while I put our plates in the kitchen, please?" Spike asked as he smiled to the Princess, hoping she would agree to do as he had said.

"...okay..." Twilight replied in a whispered tone as she nodded slowly to Spike.

"Thank you, I'm put your breakfast in the fridge for you, just in case you want it later okay?" Spike smiled to Twilight as he was happy that she seemed willing enough to at least answer the door, maybe that meant that she might just be willing to also leave the library, and go spend some time with her friends from Ponyvile, after all it had been a good while since she had done something like that.

Twilight just nodded as Spiked picked up her untouched breakfast, and went to go and put both of their plates in the kitchen, being sure to give his a quick wash, while he put Twilight's in the fridge for now, guessing that he would probably just end up throwing it into the bin, since that's what happened to most of the meals that the Princess didn't eat or finish.

Twilight sighed a little as she watched Spike go into the kitchen, before she stood up from her seat, and slowly walked to the front door, wondering who it could be, waiting for a second as she heard a few more slight knocks and took a deep breath, opening the wooden door.

"Hey there Twilight," It was Applejack, as Twilight recognised the farm pony stood at the door smiling kindly to her, greeting her kindly.

"Oh hey Applejack, do you need something?" Twilight asked, feeling glad to see one of the ponies that she hadn't seen in a while, but still didn't feel like she could even fake a smile right now, with everything that was going on inside her head at the moment.

"No, I was wondering if ya would like to get out of the house for a bit, we can go see Rairty and the others while we're at it?" Applejack suggested, hoping that the Princess would agree, as she knew how unlike herself she was right now, and no doubt getting her outside would do her some good.

"That's sounds nice and all Applejack, but right now I..." Twilight paused as she took a moment to think, remembering the smile that had been on Spike's face whlie he had gone walking off into the kitchen, not to mention the fact that he jumped up from his seat at the table, almost straight after he and the Princess had heard knocking at the door.

"Wait, did Spike put you up to this?" Twilight asked, as she guessed that this was all some plan of his to help cheer her up or something.

"Well Spike did say to us that ya weren't yourself right now, he also said that something had happend between you and Rainbow Dash. I did notice that we hadn't seen her around here lately, did ya two have a fight?" the farm pony asked as she was a little concerned that the troublesome pegasus had done something to the Princess, to make her so unlike herself.

"Yeah...something like that," Twilight spoke in a low tone as she looked to the side a little, thinking of that breathtaking pegasus that had had her so confused for quite a while now.

"She's didn't hurt ya did she?"

"No...she hasn't done anything to me," Twilight shook her head, thinking that she was probably the one hurting the pegasus right now, by making her wait this long for an answer.

"Are ya sure?" Applejack didn't seem all that convinced by the Princess's words, causing her to think that Rainbow really had done, or had said something to hurt her, but maybe she was told to keep it as a secret.

Twilight just nodded with a small forced smile on her lips, slightly avoiding the farm pony's eyes now, while she turned away from her, wanting to cut this friendly talk short and leave.

"Listen I know what you and Spike are trying to do, and I appreciate it, I really do...but right now..." Twilight paused as she sighed slightly, "I think I need to be alone for a little while. Maybe some other time," she stated with a slightly more genunie looking smile on her lips now, before she turned around and started to make her way to the staircase on the other side of the room.

"Wait, Twilight!" Applejack called after the Princess, but it seems her efforts were all in vain, as Twilight had already picked up speed, and soon disappeared upstairs, while Applejack watched her go, sighing slightly.

"Sorry Spike," the farm pony apologized as she looked to the young dragon, who had secretly been peeking around the kitchen door, watching to see if his plan would actually go as he had hoped or not.

"It's alright, I should've known she wouldn't agree to it, thanks for trying to help anyway Applejack," Spike walked over to the farm pony, feeling disappointed that the Princess ended up just running off to her room, causing him to think that maybe he could of thought of a better idea to get Twilight acting like herself again, and not looking so depressed all the time.

"Should I go up after her?" Applejack asked, hoping that she could still help the Princess, even if it was just a little.

"No it's fine, it would probably make her worse anyway, I think we should just leave her alone for a while," Spike explained knowing that there was probably no way that Twilight would be willing to see, let alone talk to anypony right now.

"Hey ya never know, having some time to herself just might do her some good," Applejack tried to stay postive, wanting to believe that the Princess would be back to her normalself in no time.

"Yeah I guess," Spike replied with a nod, as he sighed slightly, and smiled to Applejack, greatful to her for coming here to trying and talk to Twilight, she might not have got her to agree to leave the library, but at least she had got her talking for a little bit there.

'The only thing is, she's been have a lot of time to her herself lately,' Spike thought as he looked to the stairs that Twilight had disappeared up a few moments ago, wondering if there was possibly another way to get the stubborn Princess to open up about what exactly she was going through right now, so that he could work out a way to try and help her with it.

Meanwhile Twilight was up in her bedroom, lying on her bed with her chin resting on her hooves, feeling completely exhausted right now, almost like she wanted to crawl up into a little ball, and hide away from the rest of the world just for a little while. She sighed deeply as she buried her head into the quilt cover on her bed, pushing all of her thoughts to the back of her mind, and desperately trying to not let them, bother her.

However as she lay there for a few moments, her ears twiched slightly to the sound of a slight tapping sound. She lifted her head up, looking around her room, before she started to hear the tapping sound a little clearer as it became slightly louder. The Princess turned her head to where she heard the sound coming from, realizing that it had been coming from her bedroom window, as she shrugged her shoulders a little and figured it was just a branch hitting against the glass or something. She slowly got off of her bed and walked over to her closed window, using her magic to open the curtians, only to almost immediately close them again as she saw just what (or better who), was making that slight tapping sound on the window.

Twilight stood in surprise as she looked to the culprit of the tapping sound with wide eyes, while the culprit themsevles just smiled to her slightly, gesturing for her to open the window with their hooves.

"Rainbow Dash, what are you doing here?" Twilight asked as she had regonized the pegasus hovering ouside her window straight away, opening the window quickly, before she lowered her voice a little, remembering that Spike and Applejack were still downstairs, and might be able to hear her if her voice was too loud.

"Well I wanted to wait until you came to me, that way I would know that you were ready to tell me if you had found how you felt about me or not, but it's been weeks since I told you my feelings Twilight, and I haven't seen you since that morning, so I guess I decided to come by. It was sheer luck that you actually answered my tapping, I was kinda getting the idea that you were avoiding me or something," Rainbow explained as she smiled to Twilight, more than glad to see the beautiful Princess again, even though she did look a little worse for wear right now, with the lack of sleep and food she had been dealing with lately.

"True it may have seemed like I was avoiding you, but I assure that I wasn't intending to take this long to tell you my feelings...to be honest I really thought I would have it all figured it out by now, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. I still have next to no idea how I really feel about you Dash, sorry," Twilight explained with a deep sigh, now looking less surprised, and more depressed again.

Rainbow did look somewhat disappointed about hearing that, but she seemed to be smiling still, as she leaned closer to the Princess, who was avoiding looking at her directly in the eyes it would seem,

"That's okay I guess, I mean I did kinda assume that something like that was what was keeping you from telling me, but I just thought you were taking an awfully long time to come to a decision as all," Rainbow nodded to Twilight, guessing that things might have worked out this way from when she had left her with that quick kiss goodbye a couple of weeks back.

"I really am sorry Dash, I know I shouldn't keep you waiting this long, I just..." Twilight paused as she sighed heavily again, feeling like she was just making excuses now, "I just wish I knew the answer to how I feel,"

"Well maybe there's a way that you still can," Rainbow suggested with a smile, sounding like she had thought of some idea before coming here.

"What do you mean?" Twilight looked a little puzzled as right now she could see no way of finding out if she really did love Dash or not.

"Considering you seem to be having so much trouble with telling me how you really feel, how about you try doing something that you're really good at instead?"

"Which would be?" Twilight asked, still seeming confused.

"How about instead of struggling telling me how you feel, you can simply show me instead?" Rainbow stated with a wink to the Princess, causing what it was that she was trying to explain to Twilight to finally click inside her head, as the other mare now seemed to understand what she had be trying to say to her, wondering why she didn't just come right out and say it in first place, instead of confusing her by giving her a little of the runaround.

"Wait...so let me get this straight, you're going to let me show my feelings to, by letting me do whatever I want to you?" Twilight asked, just to make sure she was getting what Dash's idea was correct.

"Well yes, that was my plan," Rainbow nodded to Twilight, glad that she had now caught on to what she was trying to purpose to her.

"And do you really think that would work?"

"We'll never know until we try right?" Rainbow asked with a smile, before she leaned into Twilight more, causing the other mare to freeze and and blush slightly, "Besides...I really missed you, Twilight," the pegasus whispered into Twilight's ear, making her shiver slightly in return,

"I missed you too Dash, and I guess your idea could be worth a try, but...we can't do something like that here," Twilight stated, thinking that although Dash's idea did sound really simple, and not completely full prove, it still sounded better then trying the way she had previously been doing, knowing that she was getting nowhere with that tactic.

"Why?" Dash asked, pulling away from the Princess slightly.

"Well it's just that Spike's downstairs right now, and could come up to check on at any moment, especially if he happens to hear certain ...'noises' coming from my bedroom," Twilight's blush deepened showing that she clearly knew that she wasn't all that good at staying quite, during things like kissing and such.

"You could just try and stay quite you know?" Rainbow couldn't help but smirk, as seeing that adorable embarrassed expression on Twilight's face caused her to chuckle slightly.

"I think you and I both know by now, that I've got a better chance at actually working out, and then telling you my feelings, then I have of not constandly moaning and gasping whenever we kiss," Twilight stated as she galred slightly to Rainbow for finding amusement in her embarrassment.

"So then that only leaves you with one option, the question is, are you willing to sneak out and spend some alone time with me again?" Dash asked, her smirk growing a little wider, already easily guessing what Twilight's answer would be.

Twilight looked to the cyan pegasus for a moment or two, hesitanting a little, as she wondered if she should really sneak out again. She had done the same thing a while ago, but Spike was asleep then, and it was late in the night, he would no doubt worry if he came upstairs to find her gone suddenly. The Princess looked back to her closed bedroom door, thinking about if she really should leave without telling Spike about it. However she wanted to go with Dash and not only see if this plan of her's would work, but also she would get the chance to be with the pegasus that she had been thinking about non-stop since that first kiss had happened between them.

She knew she had to make a decision and fast, otherwise she might just lose the one chance she was getting here, taking all things into consideration as she thought for a minute, while Dash hovered outside the window, flapping her wings slowly to keep herself in the air, as she waited patiently for an answer from the Princess, hoping she wouldn't keep her waiting as long as she had with telling her what her real feelings were.

'I'm sorry, Spike,' Twilight thought with a sigh, before she made her decision.

Luckily for the pegasus Twilight didn't take that long to decide what she really wanted, as she soon turned back to Dash and nodded to her with a slight smile, before she used her magic to leave a locking spell on her bedroom door, which would make it near to impossible to unlock and open the door, without some sort of counterspell to undo the one that she had just cast upon it (which is something only another alicorn could do).

Rainbow smiled as she happily led Twilight by her hoof, out of her bedroom window, and away from the library, sneaking the Princess away from her home, and headed for the pegasus's house instead, as the two quickly flew off into the distance together.
