Twilight was practically flying down the stairs as fast as her hooves could take her, her hoof on the crystal railing so she wouldn't fall. She has just reached the bottom of her castle staircase when she saw what she can only describe as.... it. Normally Twilight would get a bit more technical and distinctive in her observations but she just couldn't find the words for the scene she was seeing right now.

First there was a blazing hot fire coming from within her kitchen, several birds of different colors, shapes and sizes flying all around, a certain purple dragon running back and forth from outside with buckets of water, and in the center of it all a rainbow maned pegasus that was currently tied up in a microphone cord with a large guitar lying beside her. After seeing it all, Twilight decided it would be best to find a solution before thinking too far into it.

She quickly took to her wings outside to the well where Spike had been getting water, Twilight formed a magic aura bubble around a large amount of water and carefully lifted it inside the castle and over the scorching hot stove in her kitchen. Thankfully the water seemed to do the trick, now for the birds. Twilight lit her horn and cast a powerful light spell, that emitted a bright white flash of light temporarily dazing everyone else in the room. After it wore off the birds looked in Twilight's direction to see another light ready to flash out from her horn, they then quickly took this chance to disperse from the castle. With that out of the way Twilight simply sighed without turning around to look at the pegasus behind her.

"Hey uh... Twi, do you think you can help me outta' this?" asked the Pegasus, who was still bound on the floor. When she didn't respond, Rainbow Dash went to say something again before feeling the cords disappear from her body. She looked over and saw them re-appear a couple feet away from her.

"Oh um.. thanks Twi. So listen let me just explai-" before Rainbow could finish, Twilight spun around to face her with a look of pure anger. While looking into her eyes Rainbow could have sworn she'd seen Tartarus itself, but before she could dwell on it Twilight decided to let herself be heard.

"Rainbow, I want to know what happened here! NOW!" Twilight yelled, Rainbow jumped a bit.

"Well I was trying to surprise you, it's-" but once again the increasingly frightened Pegasus was cut off.

"Surprise!? Surprise!? Oh so this is your idea of a surprise!?, birds going crazy, burning down my castle! Why is it that your always screwing things up like this? Your always just screwing around and being reckless, while everyone, no you know what not everyone, pretty just me has to clean everything up!? From flying straight through my closed windows to burning down my home, it just never ends with you does it?" by this point Twilight had begun pacing into the burnt kitchen.

Twilight levitated the oven door open and peered inside "Really Rainbow!? one simple cake and you managed to screw up so bad and cause all of this? What is wrong with you!? Everyone you go you make mistakes, and just make huge messes that everyone else has to deal with, your just one big screw up! We're lovers for Celesta-sake and yet I have to constantly keep an eye on you like your a Child, it hardly even feels like with a mare friend but instead i'm babysitting a reckless kid.. Oh and you wonder why you don't get into the Wonderbolts!" and just as the words left her mouth, Twilight instantly wanted them back in. Twilight heard a quiet sniffle from behind her, she whipped her head around to meet a sight that filled her with regret.

Rainbow Dash was sitting on the floor, tears falling from her eyes. "Rainbow, listen I-" this time she was the one to be cut off.

"I'm... i'm sorry. I just wanted to surprise you for our anniversary" Twilight looked a little confused at that "Wait, could it have been our anniversary? oh ponyfeathers" she thought

"I had it all planned out and everything *sniffle* I was gonna play the song from our first dance. *sniffle* Each time I told you I had to work extra hours this week I was taking music lessons with Octavia. Then I asked Fluttershy for these birds to make it extra romantic, but then they started freaking out once the fire started. Plus the fire only started because I forgot the cake I made in the oven, i'm such an idiot Twi.."

"Dash..." Twilight began, but then Spike cut in with "No don't blame her Twilight, I came in and kept asking Rainbow all about her plan and distracted her from the cake" Twilight looked over to Spike who was wearing a sad expression himself. When Twilight turned back towards Dash, the pegasus was already heading towards the door. Twilight used her magic to form a magic aura around Rainbow's tail and tugged her back a bit.

"Dash wait, i'm sorry!" Twilight said. Rainbow looked back over her shoulder at Twilight who had fresh tears of her own.

"I'm so sorry Rainbow, I know I was mad, but still I went over the line, especially with the Wonderbolts comment" Twilight then went up to Dash and brought her into a hug. Though Dash didn't return it at all.

"You weren't wrong though" Dash said, startling Twilight. The princess pulled back to look Rainbow in the eyes.

"What?" she asked. Dash carried on "I said you weren't wrong, I am a failure. Just look at how all of this turned out. I mean what kinda idiot can cause a huge fire and a crazy bird frenzy all within five minutes. Plus you were totally right about the Wonderbolts, as if I have a chance. I can already see it now, me being clumsy and knocking over all the stage lights or something. Twi, i'm a total screw up and you know it" by the end of it Rainbow just plopped down on her flank and covered her face with her hooves. Though they were moved out of the way by a purple set of hooves which was followed by a purple alicorn sporting an encouraging smile.

"Dash stop it, you know none of thats true. Everything I said was because I was upset and wasn't thinking clearly. You're a fantastic pegasus who the Wonderbolts would be lucky to have. You have four amazing friends who would do anything for you and one marefriend who needs you in her life" before Rainbow could refute her mouth became occupied with another one meeting hers. Rainbow could have sworn she could literally feel her worries leave as Twilight kissed her. After a few more seconds Twilight broke the kiss and brought her hooves down to grab hold of Rainbow's, she looked straight into Rainbow's eyes.

"I mean't every word Rainbow, you mean everything to me... I love you" Twilight said, and then remembered her assist in the room. "Oh and you too Spike, sorry I got so upset" she said, a little sheepishly. As she turned back to Dash she was surprised to find the kissing being the other way around this time. Rainbow put every ounce of passion she could into the kiss, and slowly pulled away.

"Well you can say sorry by doing that somewhere else.." Spike muttered, but neither ponies even noticed.

"I love you too Twilight" Rainbow said this as she leaned towards Twilight. They both put their foreheads against each others and stared into each others eyes, and they did that for maybe a little too long....

"Oh boy... I'm going up stairs" Spike said as he turned and headed up the staircase. The two ponies pulled away to watch Spike leave, and they also took it as a moment to get a good look at the room.

"How's about we clean this place up, and then after we can uh.. head up stairs and both make it up to each other..." Rainbow said while wearing a very sly smile. "I'd like that" Twilight said mirroring that same smile.

"I can still hear you!" Spike called from upstairs.
