Rainbow Dash opened her eyes, only to have her vision dominated by thick pink fluff. The scent of sugar and cake icing assaulted her nose, waking her instantly. She smiled and lifted her head from her pillow, stretching and yawning quietly. She looked down upon her pink marefriend and stroked her luxurious mane lovingly with a hoof. It was rare that Rainbow got to wake up before Pinkie, as the party pony was usually the one who leapt out of bed early in the mornings, often even having breakfast prepared before Rainbow could even open her eyes. She appreciated the opportunity to see Pinkie asleep, a perfect smile covering her mouth. It was rare to see the hyperactive pony so still, and she looked just beautiful as she slept, breathing softly. If this pony was any cuter it’d probably kill me the pegasus joked to herself. Pinkie was one of very few things that brought out Rainbow’s soft side. She gave her lover an affectionate nuzzle.

Rainbow heard movement in the room as she gazed lovingly at her pink companion. She looked around to see a yawning Applejack propped up on her shoulders.

‘’Morning AJ,’’ Rainbow greeted.

‘’Mornin' Rainbow,’’ Applejack responded, rubbing her eyes sleepily with her hooves. She surveyed the library foyer that they had slept in. She saw a still sleeping Rarity and Fluttershy, Pinkie in the sleeping bag with Rainbow. She then noticed the empty sleeping bag on the other side of the room.

‘’Hey, where’s Twi?’’ she asked.

Rainbow just shrugged in response. ‘’I only just woke up.’’

‘’OOOOOOOOH, do you think she went upstairs with Trixie?!’’ a voice yelled.

Applejack recoiled in surprise, but Rainbow had grown used to this by now. She turned and put her hoof around the neck of a suddenly fully awake Pinkie Pie.

‘’Hey Pinkie,’’ she smiled, giving her a quick kiss.

‘’Morning Dashie,’’ the pink pony giggled in response.

‘’Does she do that every morning?’’ Applejack enquired. ‘’How have ya not had a heart attack yet?’’ she questioned Rainbow.

‘’Nothing scares me AJ you know that,’’ Rainbow boasted.

The other two sleeping ponies began to stir, most likely due to Pinkie’s outburst. Rarity and Fluttershy began to wake, yawn and stretch. Rarity removed the cucumbers and face cream she slept in with a cloth. The already awake ponies greeted them as they gained full consciousness.

‘’Where’s Twilight?’’ Rarity echoed Applejack’s earlier question.

‘’She’s gone upstairs with Trixie!’’ Pinkie bellowed in return.

‘’She has not!’’ Rarity responded shocked, raising a hoof to her mouth. ‘’Our Twilight?’’

‘’We don’t know anythin' for sure yet.’’ Applejack interjected.

‘’Did you see that kiss last night?’’ Pinkie jumped in, throwing her hooves into the air for emphasis. ‘’Twilight went up for a second course!’’

‘’Stop jumping tah conclu-’’ Applejack was cut short.

‘’OH NO!’’ Pinkie yelled, dramatically placing two hooves to the side of her face. ‘’Do you know what this means?’’

The group just looked at her dumbfounded.

‘’It means me and Dashie aren’t the hot new couple anymore!’’

The group all laughed at an indignant looking Pinkie. Rainbow put her hoof around Pinkie’s neck again, still chortling at her outburst.

‘’No way babe, no couple could be hotter than us!’’ she stated playfully. Pinkie’s ranting wasn’t finished though.

‘’And talk about a hypocrite! She told me and Dashie to ‘behave’,’’ Pinkie explained, accentuating the word, ‘’and she runs upstairs to get it on with Trixie!’’ the pink pony added, gesturing with her hooves towards the stairs, a stern look on her face.

‘’Calm down Pinks, why you getting all worked up?’’ Rainbow asked, pulling the pink pony close. Pinkie rested the side of her head on Rainbow’s chest.

‘’I’m just saying is all,’’ Pinkie admitted, the sound of Rainbow’s heartbeat calming her.

WHAM!

A loud noise shook the ceiling, causing the ponies to look up. The sound emanated from the bedroom.

‘’What in tarnation ...’’ Applejack spoke.

‘’Oh! Do you think one of them fell out of the bed?’’ Rarity suggested, her eyes wide with scandalous delight.

‘’Ye’re all still jumping tah conclusions!’’ Applejack yelled in response.

‘’I haven’t said anything ...’’ a quiet voice chimed in, coming from a certain yellow pegasus.

Twilight was awoken by a strange tingling sensation on the back of her neck. Her half-conscious brain could not decipher what it was, but as she began to wake, the tingling grew stronger. She opened her eyes halfway to see sunlight shining in through the adjacent window. As her senses came to her she began to feel dampness where the tingling was, followed by bursts of hot air, and a feeling as though something was clamping down softly on her neck. It kind of felt like ... teeth.

TEETH?!

Twilight’s eyes grew wide as the situation became clearer. She had gotten into bed with Trixie last night. She now noticed the warmth of another pony wrapped around her, azure hooves encircled her waist under the bed sheets.

The tingling sensation in her neck continued to grow, and it began to spread throughout her body as she awakened fully. Each bite was punctuated with a quick lick from a damp tongue and hot breath which sent shivers down Twilight’s body. She could only lay there completely dumbfounded, her body rendered immobile from the confusing but unbearably pleasurable sensations. Her face was flushed, and the rest of her body was filled with a familiar warmth that she felt last night during her kiss with Trixie.

The teeth found a particularly sensitive nerve just under Twilight’s ear and clamped down on it. Her entire body quivered, her eyes rolling back. She heard a soft moan, and realized a few moments later that the sound had come from her own mouth. Her brain was overloaded by the sensations and was unable to form any clear thought.

The hooves around her waist pulled her in tighter, eliminating any idea of escape Twilight might have had. The teeth continued on their work, and Twilight was now their prisoner, unable to fight back or resist the feelings flowing throughout her body.With each passing second the fluttering in her stomach and tingling in her extremities grew stronger, stronger and stronger ...

And then it stopped.

The teeth and tongue cruelly vacated her neck, the hot breath being replaced by cool air. Twilight unwillingly released a moan of shock and disappointment. She felt the hooves around her waist slip away.

She lay there for a few moments, completely unaware of what to do. Eventually she turned slowly around, only to see the back of a silver mane. Soft breathing came from the azure pony it belonged to, indicating a peaceful sleep.

What in Equestria just happened? Twilight thought frantically. Was she asleep that whole time?!

Twilight needed some air. She pulled the sheets off herself and placed her still shaky hooves slowly on the floor.

WHAM!

Twilight’s face met the floor at a rather painful speed as the knees of her front hooves buckled instantly under her weight.

‘’Owwwww,’’ she groaned painfully as stars covered her vision.

She lifted herself up onto her wobbly knees and glanced over at the bed. It’s occupant was still sleeping peacefully, somehow not fazed by the loud union of Twilight’s head and the floor. The dazed unicorn staggered out of the bedroom.

*

The ponies hushed their conversation when they heard a door upstairs creak open. They looked up to see a very dazed Twilight walk shakily out from behind it, nursing her head with a hoof. They sat in silence as she made her way dizzily down the staircase.

‘’Mornin' Twi,’’ Applejack spoke up first. ‘’You ok?’’

‘’I’m ... I’m not quite sure to be honest with you Applejack,’’ the bewildered unicorn responded.

‘’Twilight! Were you and Trixie *mmmpf*,’’ Pinkie’s interrogation was cut short by a blue hoof shoving a cupcake into her mouth.

‘’Were we what?’’ Twilight questioned.

‘’Nothing!’’ Rainbow answered, looking around shiftily. ‘’Don’t mind Pinkie, you know her!’’ she grinned nervously.

‘’Look, I have had a very confusing few days, hit my head twice in the last twenty four hours and I may well have a concussion. If you guys have something to say please just be straight with me,’’ Twilight pleaded, her voice clearly showing signs of exhaustion and slight irritation.

''Was that thumping sound upstairs you?'' Applejack asked.

''Yes, I hit my head ... off a bookcase,'' Twilight lied. ''That's not important. What were you ponies talking about?''

‘’Well Darling,’’ Rarity piped in politely. ‘’We were just wondering where you had gotten to last night? You weren’t here when we woke up,’’ the white unicorn smiled awkwardly.

‘’Oh uhh ... I kinda got into bed with Trixie,’’ the purple unicorn admitted, blushing at the revelation.

‘’I knew it!’’ Pinkie cried, having successfully swallowed her cupcake.

‘’But it wasn’t any big deal!’’ Twilight quickly responded. ‘’We just slept is all.’’

The others glanced at her quizzically.

‘’Why would you get into bed with her then?’’ Rainbow asked. ‘’You had your sleeping bag down here, and I thought you had two beds upstairs?’’

‘’I do but ... I don’t know guys I’m really confused,'' Twilight groaned, dropping down onto her stomach and placing her head in her hooves. ''Trixie is making me feel things I don’t understand. I hate when I don’t understand something’’ Twilight pouted.

‘’Why don’t you just explain to us how you feel,’’ Fluttershy suggested gently. ‘’We might be able to help.’’ The yellow pegasus’ soothing voice got to Twilight and she decided it was a good idea.

Twilight looked up at her smiling friends. I guess talking to them could help

Twilight told them everything. How she felt the weeks leading up to writing to Trixie, the meeting in Manehatten, the horrible incident when Trixie returned, how she felt during the kiss, and why she felt the need to go up to her bed last night. She explained how she felt excited around the blue unicorn, and how she could never get her out of her head since the Ursa Minor incident. She left out the biting incident this morning though. That I’ll keep to myself for now ....

The gang listened attentively. When she was finished, Pinkie was the first to speak up.

‘’Well this is easy Twilight, you like Trixie! The same way me and Dashie like each other!’’ The pink pony answered gleefully, wrapping her hooves around an unsuspecting Rainbow who was immediately crushed by the aggressive hug.

‘’Yeah ... Twilight,’’ Rainbow gasped as she escaped from the crushing grip. ‘’Sounds to me like you’ve got a crush for that bigheaded unicorn.’’

‘’Really? Is this how you guys felt for each other?’’ Twilight asked.

Pinkie and Rainbow nodded in approval.

‘’But I feel so nervous when I have these thoughts and feelings,’’ Twilight debated.

‘’Twilight, think back to Pinkie and I before we started dating,’’ Rainbow chimed in. ‘’How long were we drunk making out before we finally got together?’’

Twilight thought back. The two had been at it weeks before they had actually hooked up.

‘’These things aren’t easy Twilight,'' Rainbow continued. ''That initial push is scary, but getting over it is worth it. The way I see it, you have a much easier time. Pinkie and I had been close friends for a long time before going out, and that made it difficult. You've only known Trixie a short time. If you ask me you should go for it.’’

‘’Go for it?’’ Twilight tilted her head.

‘’Tell her how you feel Darling,’’ Rarity explained.

‘’Yeah, what have yah got to lose?’’ Applejack agreed.

Fluttershy nodded in agreement.

‘’Hmm, I guess that makes sense. But what should I say?’’ the purple unicorn questioned.

‘’Well just tell her what you told us quite frankly!’’ Applejack suggested. ‘’Sums up the whole situation!’’

‘’Thanks guys, you've been a lot of help. I think I need to talk to Trixie,’’ Twilight smiled.

‘’Great!’’ Applejack hooted. ‘’We’ll be outta ye’re hair in just a few.’’

Twilight helped the other ponies pack up. They left, all wishing her luck. She closed the door as the last of her friends left the library.

She sat in the library foyer alone. Spike had been called back to Canterlot on some royal business and wouldn’t be back till tomorrow night. It was just her and Trixie.

She looked up at the bedroom door, fear tightening in her chest.

Here it goes ... she thought, trying to pump herself up. Let’s do this.

*

Twilight crept into the bedroom. She could see Trixie still fast asleep in bed. That pony could sleep through a tornado she mused. She slowly approached the bed, climbed up onto the end of it and gently shook the show pony with a hoof.

‘’Hey, Trixie,’’ she whispered. ‘’I need to talk to you.’’

Trixie stirred with a loud yawn, a dramatic stretch, and sat up in the bed. She looked in front of her to see a rather nervous looking purple unicorn sitting at the bottom of the bed.

‘’Oh, good morning Twilight,’’ Trixie greeted smiling.

''You know Trixie, you are a VERY heavy sleeper,'' Twilight announced, grinning slightly.

Trixie smiled back. ''Well one has to be when you're a travelling pony. Trixie didn't always have the luxury of a quiet place to sleep on her journeys.''

Twilight’s stomach began to flutter again as she looked on at the bedraggled pony, her messed up mane somehow only making her look more attractive. It steeled Twilight's resolve.

''We need to talk Trixie.''

‘’Sure, what’s the matter?’’ Trixie began to feel nervous. Does she want me gone? she thought in fear.

‘’Ever since you came here Trixie, I’ve been feeling ... strange.’’ Twilight began, struggling to find the right words. ‘’I’ve been having a lot of feelings that I’ve never really felt before, and I believe you're the cause. They aren’t bad feelings, just confusing.‘’

‘’Feelings? Like what?’’ Trixie asked, tilting her head.

‘’Well, warm feelings. I uhhh ... feel excited when I’m around you Trixie. I ... I think I like you." Twilight smiled..

Trixie just looked at Twilight. ‘’Well sure, that’s why you wanted to be friends right?’’

‘’No it’s like, more than friends ...’’ Twilight struggled to explain. ‘’Like, that kiss last night, I really ... enjoyed that.’’

‘’Ohhhh,’’ Trixie smiled, starting to comprehend the situation. ‘’You liked kissing Trixie?’’

‘’Yeah, did you enjoy it?’’

‘’Oh sure, it was fun.’’

Fun wasn’t the word Twilight was hoping for. She isn't taking this seriously she thought, her heart sinking slightly.

‘’Were you aware that you were ... biting me this morning?’’ Twilight asked.

‘’Biting you?!’’ Trixie repeated, shock in her voice.

‘’Yeah, I woke up to you ... nibbling on my neck,’’ Twilight grinned sheepishly.

‘’Wait, that actually happened?!’’ Trixie shouted.

‘’Yes it actually happened!’’ Twilight yelled in response.

‘’Oh, Trixie thought that was just a dream,’’ Trixie explained, an embarrased smile on her lips.

Twilight’s face was the definition of confusion at this point.

‘’A dream?! Do you usually have dreams about me where you do that sort of thing?’’ she yelled, her voice getting ever higher.

‘’Every now and then yes ...’’ Trixie admitted.

‘’Since when?’’

‘’Since I first met you ...’’

The response stunned Twilight. She dreams about me she thought, her heart melting. She felt a new kind of warmth in her stomach at this revelation.

She explained to Trixie everything she had been feeling in the same manner as how she told her friends earlier, from the Manehatten trip to this point. Trixie listened attentively to each detail, her face not giving away much emotion. When Twilight finished, Trixie spoke up.

‘’Well then Miss Sparkle,’’ Trixie cooed, a menacing look on her face. ''what do you think we should do?’’

‘’I don’t know ...’’ Twilight admitted, feeling a blush form on her face at the seductive tone in Trixie’s voice.

‘’You’re the expert on friendship,’’ Trixie teased.

‘’This is ... outside my expertise.’’

‘’Oh, Trixie thinks she can help.’’

Before she knew what was happening, Twilight was pulled into another kiss, Trixie’s hooves wrapping around her neck. Twilight’s brain fried again, and she melted into Trixie’s embrace. She felt the show pony’s tongue enter her mouth. She relished the taste this time, noting a minty freshness to Trixie’s breath.

Trixie broke the kiss and grabbed Twilight’s front hooves, spinning her around to the top of the bed and rolling her onto her back against the pillow.

‘’It’s time you got a private show with the Great and Powerful Trixie!’’

Twilight blushed furiously, and an intense nervous excitement started to build in her stomach.

‘’Oh I dunno Trixie, I usually like to do some research before I try something new umm, I probably have a book on this somewhere ...’’ Twilight stammered, backing up against the bedpost as Trixie loomed menacingly over her.

The show pony leaned in close. Twilight was backed up against the bed with no means of escape.

‘’You’ve taught Trixie about friendship, now let Trixie teach you a few things.’’

Trixie kissed her again, and Twilight gave in, sinking into the kiss. After a few moments an idea struck Twilight. She broke the kiss.

‘’Umm Trixie ...’’ she whispered, circling a hoof nervously into Trixie’s chest.

‘’Yes Miss Sparkle?’’ Trixie cooed seductively.

‘’Um, do you think you could ... put on the hat and cape?’’ Twilight smiled embarrassed.

A huge grin covered Trixie’s face.

‘’Oh Miss Sparkle of course!’’ she dashed out of the room.

Twilight’s nervousness began to return as she was left alone in the room. I have no idea what I’m doing! She felt panicked, and yet there was a strong excited thrill. The combination of both kept her rooted to the spot on the bed.

Trixie returned, looking spectacular in her starry cape and hat. She jumped up onto the bed causing Twilight to bounce slightly. The movement sent a giddy thrill through Twilight’s body, and she giggled happily, feeling the tension drain out of her. Trixie threw herself over Twilight again.

‘’Is Miss Sparkle ready for the Great and Powerful Trixie?’’

Twilight drew the show pony into another kiss, wrapping her hooves around her neck. Trixie lowered herself onto Twilight, causing the silk cape to wrap around the pair. The hairs of Twilight’s coat stood on end where the silk brushed her, giving a pleasant tingling sensation. Trixie levitated the hat onto Twilight’s head. She broke the kiss to look down at the purple mare.

‘’Something’s missing...’’ she announced as she looked down at the bashful mare wearing her hat, an adorable blush tingeing her cheeks.

‘’Twilight, do you happen to own a set of socks?’’
