"Are you sure you don't want to stay here and read, maybe play a board game?" Twilight asked, a hint of desperation in her voice. Though it went unnoticed by the rainbow maned pegasus "Nah, sorry Twi. I was gonna go pranking with Pinkie Pie" she said. Then Rainbow proceeded to slam the door behind her on the way out.

Twilight just sighed and looked at the book she had in her hoof. She walked over to a nearby book shelf in the library section and slid it back to where she had got it, and decided to head up the crystal stairs to her bedroom.

Twilight's eyes slowly began to open while struggling against the light coming through the window. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she noticed her beautiful marefriend, Rainbow Dash, was already out of bed and was grabbing things in her closet.

"Rainbow? you're up early. Are you going somewhere?" she asked, noticing the hoofball she had.

"Huh? Oh... morning Twilight. Uh yeah me, Applejack, Thunderlane, Cloudchaser, Big Mac, and Rumble are all going to go play hoofball in the park." she said, the nervous look on her face evident.

"Sorry I didn't tell you about it already. It's just that I figured you wouldn't want to go since your not really into sports" Rainbow said while awkwardly rubbing the back of her neck.

Twilight managed to lean up in the bed, "oh.. well thats fine. Yeah i'm not one for sports, i'll probably just reorganize the library a bit. Move some shelves, bean bag chairs and the couch" she said.

"Are you sure? If you wanna wait I can help move some stuff when I get back" Rainbow said, only for Twilight to wave her hoof. "No it's alright Rainbow, you go have fun" she said while wearing a pretty awesome smile (or at least thats what Rainbow thought)

Rainbow Dash grinned and headed out the door, waving "Alright, see ya' later Twilight" Twilight waved back at her until the door shut. Then her hoof slowly lowered as she spoke "yeah... se ya later..." she mumbled.

Twilight was working away in the kitchen, she was never much for cookie but she could put together a sandwich if she had to. Plus she had decided to make an extra one for Rainbow Dash. Just as she lowered the final bread piece on top of Rainbow's with her magic, she heard the front door to the castle fly open and echo a bit. 'This castle is way too big" she thought.

Just as Rainbow came dashing into the kitchen, Twilight began "Oh hey Rainbow listen-" though she was cut off when Dash quickly kissed her on the lips only to separate them way too quick. With the quick peck Rainbow said "sorry Twi, I gotta get over to Fluttershy's. She needs some help with some heavy stuff for her garden. Bye!" and just as quick as she appeared she was gone, having dashed back out. Twilight stood stunned for a moment before her mind caught up with her. She simply sighed, and hung her head low. She levitated a ziplock bag over and put the sandwich inside for later, before placing it in the fridge.

"Rainbow are you sure? You really don't want to have just a quick race with me? You always want to race!" Twilight practically begged, but Rainbow resisted. "Nah, I gotta get over to Sweet Apple Acres, Me and Applejack are camping out tonight with the Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. Raritys not coming cause, well you know how she is about camping" said Rainbow. She then trotted out the front door, not even noticing Twilight who had literally reached her foreleg out to her. "but.... but.."

________________________________________________________________

The rain was pouring down on this night, harsher then normal. Rainbow Dash trotted up the steps and pushed open the doors to the castle. She walked in on the doormat but stopped there not wanting her soaking wet fur to get the floor all wet. "Twilight? Twilight! You around, can you bring a towel?" Rainbow's voice echoed off the walls. "Twilight? as you can tell it's pouring out so camping was cancelled"

Rainbow simply shook herself to try and get most of the water off to proceed into the castle. She then started poking her head into different doors "Twilight?" "Twiiillliiggghhtt??" "You in here?" "here?" "hello?"

Finally Rainbow had climbed the staircase to the "royal bedroom" or so Rainbow liked to call it against Twilight's dismay.
She creaked the door open, "um, Twilight?" she peaked in and saw a familiar silhouette sitting on bed opposite the window.

Rainbow started to slowly enter "Twilight? everything alright?" she asked. She recognized the sniffling noise, and as she neared she began to make out the Alicorn's features. Her mane looked a bit disheveled and fresh tears were streaming down her face. Rainbow immediately hugged Twilight "Twi? what's wrong, what's going on?" she asked quickly. She was really worried, she looked around the room for any danger and pulled back from the hug.

"Did something happen, are you hurt or-?" her mind was racing but Twilight cut her off with a hoof. "No, no i'm not hurt. I'm safe.." she mumbled.

"Well... what's wrong then" Rainbow was just about mirroring Twilight's sad expression, minus all the tears.

"Rainbow. Am I boring?" she asked, simply.

"What?"

"Am I boring" she repeated

Rainbow's hooves grasped Twilight's "No you're not boring, what'd make you say that?" the pegasus asked.

"It's just that you always seem to want to hang out with the other girls, instead of me. Not that you can't but it just feels as though you're bored with me. Reading, star gazing, board games, i'm just boring. Why would you want to be around me when you can go have so much more fun with the others" Twilight's head lowered and she sniffled some more, holding back new tears.

Rainbow lifted Twilight's head to meet her eyes, Rainbow's eyes were wet and she was ready to tear up. "Don't ever say that Twilight, if I believed any of that how in the hay would we be marefriends. Not everything we do is gonna be awesome or exciting, but that's not why i'm with you. Sometimes I don't want to race, i'd rather relax and cuddle with you. I don't want to go around pranking people, instead i'd rather listen to Daring Doo while my awesome marefriend reads it to me. I want to take a walk with you instead of flying fast, because you're worth slowing down for" Twilight's mouth hung open slightly, after all Dash had said. Then she recollected her thoughts and took control of the situation. She quickly pushed forward, connecting her lips with Rainbow's and pulling her down onto the bed with her. Rainbow happily kissed back until air was hard to find. As she pulled away she smiled down at Twilight who smiled back up at her. "Plus, i'd be kinda weird trying to cuddle with Applejack" she laughed, and Twilight giggled.

Suddenly Twilight's magic aura formed around Rainbow and lifted up over Twilight onto the other end of the bed. She placed her down and lifted the blanket over top of her. Twilight stood up "alright, you stay right here and i'll go grab the new Daring Doo book, it just arrived this morning. That sound okay?" she asked with a smile. Rainbow gave a toothy grin back "sounds perfect" she said, causing Twilight's smile to grow even larger.
