	Twilight went to her meeting with the Mayor. During the meeting, Twilight felt herself light and well-disposed, allowing her to hold the meeting always with a smile on her face. At the end of it, she returned to the library, always cheerful. But when she opened the door, her smile fell. 

There, were all her friends, including Spike. They all looked to Twilight as she came in, which left her somewhat uncomfortable. 

"Hello" Twilight greeted, entering and closing the door. "But what are you all doing here?" 

"Well, we came to visit you, of course" Rarity replied, giving little nervous giggles. 

"An’ also tah know how it was last night" Applejack said. "Spike told me that Blue has prepar’d ya a romantic dinner." 

"Oh, really?" Twilight asked, turning to Spike.

"Hey, I just said what Blue told me" Spike defended himself. 

"Yeah, and he also told us about the scalding night you and Blue had after dinner" said Pinkie Pie. 

That made everypony look at her. 

"What?" Pinkie Pie asked, turning to all except Twilight. "Isn’t that why we're here?" 

"Yes, but you didn’t have to be so direct" Rainbow Dash said to her. 

Twilight soon realized what they were talking about. Spike must have gone to tell to her friends about what he inferred to have happened. 

"Spike, why don’t you leave?" Twilight asked, opening the door magically. 

"Wait, are you ejecting me?" Spike asked. "You do realize that I also sleep here, right?"

"I'm just asking for you to go get some air" Twilight replied. "Besides, the morning is not over. there is still much time to the bedtime. "

"Twilight, I may be a baby dragon, but I know perfectly well what you're gonna say" Spike said.

"We’ll have a mares talk" Twilight said. "And last time I checked, you're not a mare." 

Spike looked like he wanted to protest, but he saw that it was a lost cause and so headed to the exit, grumbling, and left, closing the door behind him. 

"Well, now that we're alone, it's time for you to tell us everything" said Rarity.

"Tell you what?" Twilight asked, playing dub. 

"Oh, Twilight, we're not silly" Rarity said. 

"Yeah, it's obvious that happen’d here somethin’ more than jest a dinner" Applejack said. 

"It didn’t happened anything" Twilight insisted. 

"Oh, yeah?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, Pinkie’s Pinkie sense doesn’t agree with you." 

"That's right" Pinkie said. "My left hindleg was throbbing, what means that somepony is lying or hiding something." 

"Of course if you wan’t to tell us..." Fluttershy began. 

"Of course she want to tell us" Rainbow Dash said to Fluttershy. "We're their friends." 

"Yes, but she has the right to not tell" Fluttershy said.

"Of course she have the right tah not tell" Applejack said. "But she knows also she can trust us tah talk about it." 

"I have to agree with Applejack" Rarity said. "Twilight can trust us for anything." 

"Of course she can" said Pinkie Pie. "If it were not like that, we would not be friends, and if we were not friends, we would not be here talking about something that happened to our friend and..." 

Already sick of seeing them talking about her as if she were not there, Twilight exclaimed: 

"Okay, enough, I tell you! But please, stop talking about me as if I were not here."

"You see, girls, I knew that if we spoke as if Twilight was not here, she would tell us" Pinkie Pie said to the others. "Oh, wait, I'm still talking as if Twilight was not here. I think it’s better I stop."

Seeing her friends silent and attentive to her, Twilight make a deep breath and then said: 

"What I will tell you cannot leave from here. Do you promise me you won’t to tell to anypony"

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye" the five swore, making the gestures of the Pinkie Promise. 

Since they had made the promise, she knew they would not tell to anypony. Also how could they do that? After all, this was a part of Twilight’s intimacy. 

"Well, Blue made me really a romantic dinner" she said. "A dinner that he made. It was delicious."

"And..." her five friends said.

"And we talked, we told stories to each other, we laughed..." Twilight continued. 

"And..." her five friends said. 

"And then we went to my bedroom to go see my photo album and..." 

"And..." 

"Would you please stop saying that?" Twilight asked, somewhat gruffly. "It's already hard for me to tell you this." 

That made Twilight’s friends become silent. She continued: 

"Well, later, we were watching the album, but we were so close... and we ended up… making love." 

When she said these last words, her friends gave little squeals, as they looked at each other with great excitement.

"Oh dear Celestia, our friend Twilight had been with a stallion" Rarity said. 

"Ah knew somethin’ like that could happen tah ya and Blue" Applejack said. 

"Applejack, we've only been dating for a month" Twilight said. 

"And who took the initiative?" Rainbow Dash said. "You or him?" 

That made the others looked at her who said: 

"What? It’s a legitimate question. Normally they are always who take the first step."

"Actually, Rainbow... It was me who wanted to do it" Twilight said. 

That made her friends become open mouthed.

"Hold on a second" Pinkie Pie said, making appear from nothing a glass of water, drinking a little and then spitting it.

"I know it seems strange on my part, but..." Twilight began, trying to find the right words to say. "He was so sweet with me. He told me he would only do it if I wanted to and if I was sure. He said he wouldn’t and didn’t want to pressure me."

"Oh, Blue is really a gentlecolt!" Said Rarity, in her dramatic way. "You have a lot of lucky, Twilight. Look there are not many stallions like him. He’s like one in a million"

"I know, Rarity" Twilight replied. "I'm extremely lucky." 

"Twilight... did it hurt?" Fluttershy asked hesitantly. 

That Fluttershy’s question was somewhat complicated to answer, but made all the mares to be quiet and look at Twilight.

"Well... actually..." Twilight said, trying to describe what she felt. "I didn’t felt no pain. It was all so... natural. Blue was so kind to me that I didn’t feel nervous. It was one of the best feelings I've ever felt. I never had a night like that."

"Wow," the mares exclaimed. 

"I'm so excited that my first time arrives" Rarity said. "I bet it will be wonderful." 

"Well, I think most of the mares give too much importance to these things" Rainbow Dash said. "I've never been with a stallion and I am perfectly happy." 

"That’s you, Rainbow Dash" Rarity said. "But wait until the stallion of your dreams appears." 

"I have no rush" Fluttershy said. "I can wait until I find the right pony."

"That's exactly what I think, Fluttershy" Twilight said. "Or I thought. What matters is that my first time was with the stallion that I love and that we did it with all the love we feel for one another."

That was the truth. It was what Twilight had felt. She always feared she wouldn’t find the pony of her dreams, but now she was with Blue, she might feel as a loved and wanted mare.

Blue had just arrived to Canterlot, shortly after arriving at the castle. He entered in his office, putting his saddlebags and going to wear his armor. Then he sat in his chair and rested his back hooves on the desk and put the front ones behind his head.

He gave a long sigh as he thought in the fantastic night he had with Twilight. He never thought the last night could have ended in that way. He was so happy to have spent the night with Twilight. It was a feeling he had never felt towards another mare. Twilight was the one he wanted. The mare he wanted to love.

Then a door knock interrupted his thoughts and Blue took his hoof from the desk, putting in an upright position, and said: 

"Come in." 

A pegasus guard entered hastily, bringing his saddlebags, and said: 

"Captain Blue Sword, I have an urgent message for you from Captain Shining Armor." 

"A message?" Blue repeated. 

The pegasus took the hoof to one of his saddlebags and pulled out a letter, extending it to Blue. Using his magic, Blue took the letter, opened it, and read it: 

Dear Blue,

I urgently need your help. Changelings attacked a few crystal ponies in the exit of the Crystal Empire. Fortunately, I and my guards could get around the situation. Did you could bring some of yours to patrol thoroughly the surrounding area of the empire? Answer as soon as possible. 

A hug from your friend, 

Shining 

By reading the message, he realized that the situation was really urgent. Changelings in the Crystal Empire was something to be completely alert. If Changelings fed from crystal ponies’ love, they could become immensely powerful and try a new attempt to conquer Equestria. Blue knew they were wandering around the Crystal Empire, but he never thought they would have the courage to attack in such careless manner. 

He used his magic to grab a piece of parchment, a quill and ink and began to write:

Dear Shining, 

I got your message and of course I'll help you. After all, what are the friends for? I'll pick my best guards and we’ll go now to the Crystal Empire. 

A hug from your blue friend, 

Blue. 

After finishing the message, he folded the parchment and handed it to the guard, saying: 

"Send this message immediately." 

The guard kept the message and replied, saluting: 

"Yes, sir." 

Blue rose up and walked out of his office. He had to go to Princess Celestia and inform her what was happening. Then he would have to organize a group of guards for then they headed towards the Crystal Empire.
