An update on the shenanigans at Canterlot U · 8:36am Dec 18th, 2014
Hey guys! Thought I should probably pop in and give you a status update since I've gotten a few messages wondering when the next installment will arrive.
Rest assured that I am working on it, but due to the busy holiday season, it probably won't be ready to go until some time in the new year.
However, I can give you a little treat. I won't give away the main shenanigans happening in the upcoming chapter, but I will show you a little nugget that builds on what has already gone down (no pun intended). Click on into the main post to see it, or just look down if you're already here!
“If you want some company while Pinkie’s gone, I think I’ve just about convinced AJ to let me invite you over for a night.” Rainbow’s raspy whisper tickled her ear, causing Twilight to squirm a little again.
“That would be fun,” Twilight responded, cupping Rainbow’s ear as well to keep their conference completely private. “It would make me feel a little less guilty about the thing in the locker room. But how’d you manage it if she’s so traditional like you said?”
“I can be pretty persuasive, but honestly, I think it’s mostly because you’re you.”
Twilight’s face was a mask of confusion. “What do you mean?”
This time it was Rainbow’s turn to blush. “Okay, don’t take this the wrong way, but it sorta has to do with Princess Twilight.” Rainbow paused for a moment, watching Twilight’s expression. “We only knew her for a couple days, but we’ve all got this kinda bond with her that’s hard to describe.”
Twilight blinked, arching an eyebrow as Rainbow explained haltingly.
“I know—we know that you’re not her. I mean, you look like her and sometimes you act a little like her, but even though you’re a different person, you still kinda feel like her. Only instead of just a couple days, we’ve gotten to know you for almost a month.” Rainbow’s free hand reached out to gently grip Twilight’s. “So, it kinda started the same, but it feels like way stronger with you now.
“I dunno for sure about the rest of the girls, but I know I’ve got the hots for you, especially after… y’know.” Rainbow’s blush deepened, but she coupled it with a confident smirk. “No firm guarantees yet, but maybe you saw AJ checking you out at our last card game. I think she’s in the same boat. And I’m pretty sure I’ve caught everyone else sneaking looks at you too, even Rarity.” Rainbow waggled her eyebrows. “Sometimes I don’t think she’s quite as firmly straight as she claims to be.”
“Wow. That’s—wow—that’s a lot to take in.” Twilight’s face flushed like a ripe tomato, her body and mind suddenly much more aware of her proximity to Rainbow Dash. “I know Pinkie had a crush on her, but I didn’t know the rest of you felt the same.”
Rainbow squeezed her hand. “Like I said, I dunno for sure about the other girls. We’ve all got this friendshippy kinda bond with her, and with you too. Me, personally, I’m with Pinkie—you’re prime girlfriend material. But I gotta think about AJ—I don’t wanna mess that up.”

Yay!
After reading this, I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment.
Twilight and RD shipping... I approve.
Am I the only one getting the feeling that Twilight is gonna end up in a relationship with the ENTIRE mane6?
Aw, it's always nice when Rainbow finds herself being kind of sweet. Even when she is also being a bit raunchy.
Well, now I've swapped boats. From the 'Peacefully waiting for next installment' to 'Damn it, I can't wait'. One is a much longer ride than the other sadly.
