“Unbelievable, seriously.” Twilight sulked on a bench amidst the green surroundings of one of Ponyville’s many public parks.

“Oh lighten up Sparkle, it was delayed by half an hour, we have all day. You really need to learn to relax,” Trixie, attired in her distinct purple cape, responded.

“But I want to have plenty of time in Canterlot's library. Trains should be on time. They have a schedule. What’s the point in them having a schedule if they don’t follow it? If I was in charge of that station this sort of thing would never happen.”

“Yeah, the world would be such a better place if everypony was as neurotic as you.”

“Things would certainly get done on time, I can tell you that.”

The two sat for a few moments in silence, the only sounds being the irregular song of various birds and the humming and buzzing of their insect prey. The sun radiated across the park, failing to pierce the large oak tree which shaded the two ponies.

“I’m not sitting here with you for half an hour if you’re going to slouch there in a huff over a delayed train. Let’s go walk or something,” Trixie demanded, hopping down from the bench.

“Fine,” Twilight moaned, following the azure unicorn.

Twilight continued her irritable silence as the two strolled through the fragrant park, the scent of tulips, roses and a variety of other flora creating a sweet perfume in the warm air. Trixie took a deep breath, catching the pleasant aroma of the flowers, along with a much stronger smell. A deep scent of lilac flowed through her nostrils, despite the flower being nowhere in the vicinity. She soon realised the delightful scent was coming from the pony in her company. She glanced over to the culprit, whose head was hanging low, her eyes glaring at the ground in contempt. Twilight’s scrunched up frown and sweet scent proved to be a potent combination, causing Trixie to feel a sudden surge in her stomach. Her heart rate increased, and she felt as though the already warm air suddenly became hotter. She was overcome with the urge to grab the purple pony and just hold her until her hooves fell off. The intense feeling of desire began to unnerve her slightly, her mind struggling to understand how these emotions became so overwhelming. Shaking her head, she desperately searched for something to derail this train of thought. Upon noticing how close she was to Twilight, her mouth curved into a sly grin. Swinging her hips, she gently bumped into the brooding unicorn.

“Hey! Watch it Trixie,” Twilight snapped upon her rump being attacked by Trixie’s hip. Trixie responded only by looking in the opposite direction, then swinging her hip once again.

“Cut it out Trixie!” Twilight asked again, frowning in confusion. “What are you-“ she was cut short by another assault from Trixie’s hips.

Twilight growled in response, swinging her own hip in retaliation. While this may have been the exact response Trixie was hoping to elicit, she was not prepared for the sudden force with which Twilight retaliated. With a shrill yelp, she felt her knees buckle under the sudden bump, and before she knew it she was rolling on her side on the grass.

“Oh my gosh Trixie, I’m sorry!” Twilight cried, dashing towards the fallen unicorn. “I didn’t mean to- ah!” With an equally pitched cry, Twilight found herself rolling face first towards the grass, a pair of hooves having interrupted her own connection with the ground. She felt herself being pulled over the other pony's body, rolling onto her side. She struggled to fight back, a strange and sudden mirth building in her chest. She found herself smiling as she wrestled with Trixie’s hooves, which were know pushing their master over herself.

For a few moments she looked up to see the magician grinning down at her, her features darkened by the contrast of the bright sun directly behind her, but the image only lasted moments as Twilight grabbed Trixie’s sides and heaved with all her strength, sending the azure unicorn plummeting back down to earth.

And the process continued like this for a time neither pony could estimate, each one wrestling to get above the other, the pair giggling in unison to create a harmonic tune which reverberated throughout the park, their laughter joining the song of the birds and the humming of the bees.

Eventually the two found themselves laying on their sides face to face, panting furiously for air. Their cheeks were both flushed red, their mouths stretched into uncontrollable grins. They lay there, looking into each others eyes, until soon the heat was not the only thing making them blush. Trixie felt her extremities begin to tingle as she stared into those deep purple eyes, the tension becoming stronger every second. She struggled to find something to say, her mouth growing dry. She quickly found herself jumping to her hooves.

“Ahem,” she grunted, clearing her throat. She flicked her mane, and with an upturned nose she said: “Well, Trixie thinks it’s clear who the victor of that little contest was.”

“Hah! You wish!” Twilight debated, jumping to her own hooves. She suddenly grew quiet again, remembering that the two were in a public place. “I wonder if anypony saw us,” she questioned nervously.

“And why would that be an issue?” Trixie asked with a smile.

“Well, it wouldn’t, but...” Twilight struggled for an answer. Fortunately she was saved by the shrill cry of a train whistle signalling its impending departure.

“Oh, there’s the train!” Twilight cried, hopping on the convenient distraction. “Better get going!” she yelled, almost sprinting towards the station.

With a smile, Trixie followed the lavender sorceress.
