In the strange and often crazy world of Equestrian magic and High-School life, it was always nice to know that, no matter how busy or dangerous one's life became, there was always the opportunity to just sit back and relax a little bit with your friends every once in a while. And for Twilight, Fluttershy and Adagio, that was exactly what they were getting right now. Sitting comfortably within the confines of Twilight's bedroom, the three ladies were all chilling together, doing a number of different things. Adagio was sitting upon the edge of the bed, one leg crossed over the other while reading a magazine. As for Twilight and Fluttershy, they were sitting down on the floor, right next to one another and smiling as they scrolled through a number of text messages that had just come through the former's phone. They giggled, they went "awww" and they typically seemed like they were enjoying themselves. After a while, however, it was the Siren among them who broke the silence, looking down to the two much younger girls and raising an eyebrow.

"An interesting read, I take it?"

Looking up to her, Twilight smiled.

"It's a few messages from Timber. He and I have been corresponding about his job down at the beach doing lifeguard work."

Fluttershy looked to her spectacled friend.

"I have to say, you're getting really good at these messages, Twilight."

Twilight practically beamed at that.

"Thanks, Fluttershy. Without Sunset's help from before, I'd probably still be stressing out whenever he sent me a message like this."

Curiosity came to the young scientist.

"And you? How do you and Pinkie message each other?"

A warm smile crossed Fluttershy's face at that.

"Oh, we don't really message each other as much has you and Timber do. Honestly, Pinkie just shows up whenever she has something she needs to say to me."

Looking down to her, Adagio put on a somewhat confused look.

"What...she just...shows up? How does she even know where you are?"

Glancing up to her, the animal-lover giggled slightly.

"It's Pinkie...so she always knows."

Adagio rolled her eyes to this before getting back to her magazine, but, as she did so, she apparently became the point of interest for the other two teens.

"And you, Adagio? How are things with Andante going?"

A sly smirk crept onto the Siren's face, as it normally did, and while she did not look to her colleagues, she nevertheless answered them.

"Oh, things are going very well. I do confess, I am surprised that a human is able to have that kind of stamina. The way he's been able to keep up with me is simply...satisfying."

A chuckle escaped her.

"And trust me, knowing there's a fellow out there who's so determined to give me pleasure like that, be it in bed or out of it...it is quite the find."

After staring at her for a wile, Twilight's smile faltered, but only a little.

"Um...are you okay in that sort of relationship? I mean, not to sound critical or anything, but it seems like you and Andante only really have...well...physical things towards each other."

Looking down to her again, Adagio nodded.

"Oh, we do other things too from time to time, but yes, physical intimacy is the chief thing we do when we're together."

A moment passed, and her smirk returned.

"And believe me when I say that I am absolutely fine with that. Pleasure is practically what we Sirens live for, dear. So don't be too surprised."

Blushing slightly, Fluttershy thought on that.

"Oh my! I couldn't imagine a relationship so focused on...on...on that side of tings. Me and Pinkie have only had a few kisses so far."

Adagio looked to her, giving Fluttershy an expression that suggested that the pink-haired girl was just about the most adorable thing in the world to her right now.

"Oh, Fluttershy, you sweet little thing. Yours is a relationship to enjoy. I may not have had much in the way of emotional connections with others over the centuries, but do not take that to mean I don't recognise a meaningful one when I see it. And you, my dear..."

Reaching forward, the centuries-old woman gently placed her hand upon the girl's shoulder.

"...most definitely have one that'll last."

Now, naturally, both girls were somewhat taken aback at the unexpected words of assurance and comfort from their former enemy, but even so, they appreciated it all the same, with Fluttershy returning the gesture with a sweet-looking smile. Adagio herself gave a nod to this, then glanced up to Twilight.

"And you, Twilight? You and Timber weren't really friends before you started dating, like Fluttershy and Pinkie were. How would you say you two are doing?"

Taking a moment to think on that, Twilight looked back to the Equestrian before answering.

"Well...I’d say we're doing okay so far. I mean, nothing serious has happened yet, but we're having fun whenever we get together. And sure, I wish stuff like our trip to the observatory had gone to plan, but things always turn out well."

Adagio, hearing all of this, gave a brief nod.

"Good to hear. And if nothing else, you certainly seem to have yourself a confident boyfriend."

Giggling to that, Twilight nodded.

"Yep. Timber told me he dated a few girls before me, so he's not quite as nervous about it as a newcomer to the dating scene."

Fluttershy looked to her, surprised.

"He's dated others?"

Twilight, looking to her friend, gave another quick nod.

"He has. About three I think. None of them really lasted that long, a month at most."

To that, Fluttershy regained her earlier smile.

"Oh my...that makes you his longest relationship yet, right?"

With her chest swelling out with just a touch of pride, Twilight spoke with a tone that contained just the barest hint of smugness.

"Well, one doesn't like to brag...but yes."

The three ladies all shared a laugh with one another, and when it was over, Fluttershy gave a smile wider than any she'd had before.

"It's always nice, isn't it? Having someone in your life you enjoy having with you?"

Crossing her legs again, Adagio swept aside some of her hair before giving a small chuckle.

"Indeed. We three may have very different relationships, and want them for entirely different reasons, but it's still something to be happy about."

There was a general sense of agreement to that, creating an air of camaraderie among the three. But, when it ended, Twilight tapped the end of her chin, pondering something.

"You know...I'm the only one here who's never even kissed her partner yet. I wonder if I should do something about that?"

But Adagio shook her head.

"It'll come when it'll come, Twilight. If what you have now makes you happy, there's no need to go and force anything else."

The others looked to her, slightly surprised.

"Oh? I'd have thought you'd be all for Twilight trying to get her first kiss," Fluttershy remarked.

Giving another chuckle, Adagio leaned forward, regarding her animal-loving friend carefully.

"I may love physical stuff as much has anyone, Fluttershy...but even I know it's best not to make things happens before their time. Nothing's worse than a kiss or a moment in bed that happened before the lovers were ready for it."

Sighing, Twilight looked to Adagio, her expression giving away her appreciation.

"Thank you, Adagio, I...I'm glad someone said that to me."

Nodding to her, the Siren then got back to her magazine, finding her previous page before replying to her friend's words.

"Hey, when you've had as many relationships as me, you learn a thing or two."
