Chapter 1
The morning air was crisp and cool with barely a breeze blowing. The sky was crystal blue, and the rays of the sun played lazily across the green countryside. It was the perfect day, thought Twilight Blimple, for a flight.
The little purple sparkly blimp slowly rose into the air, enjoying the wind as it played across her surface. Her propellers spun into life as she turned in a westerly direction, the fluted spire that jutted out from her control deck pointing the way.
Twilight wasn't a big blimp. Her gasbag was large but stubby, her fins small and protruding, and her purple gondola cabin was slung almost apologetically underneath. Growing up as a little balloon in the big city she had always been jealous of the other airships, who always seemed to be more graceful than she. But soon study had paid off.
Today, she was on an important mission. Today she had to ferry vital medical aid across Airquestria. A hailstorm had hit the town of Hull, and puncture repair kits were urgently needed. Half of the kits were now safely stored in her cargo hold; the other half were being delivered by someblimp else. As her engines chugged softly across the landscape, Twilight wondered who would be joining her on this mission of mercy. She knew Airity was busy designing new fashionable moorings, and Rainbow Dirigible was taking part in a race. Perhaps this would be a chance to make another friend, and provide the contents of another friendship report to HMA Celestia.
Her thoughts were interrupted as a shadow fell across her. The pleasant sounds of her engines and the general noise of nature was drowned out by a powerful thrumming, as above Twilight a huge shape powered into view. Twilight shrank back - the newcomer was a massive silver and blue zeppelin, over 300 metres long and covered in magnificent fins, with a smooth, sleek undercarriage that had a tiny purple cloak attached.
On its side was the legend "Die großartige und mächtige Trixieburg."
"Well well well, if it isn't Twilight Blimple" purred the huge airship, as Twilight found herself buffeted in its wake. "It seems they wanted to give me some entertainment for my important mission!"
"Trixieberg!" Twilight hissed upwards, as she unsteadily gained altitude to fly to window-level with her new companion. "This is bigger than our rivalry! The poor citizens of Hull will deflate if we don't get there soon! Besides, I'm carrying just as much cargo as you!"
Trixieburg's eyes turned in Twilight's direction, and Twilight thought she could see a flicker of a smile fall across her cabin. "Oh yes Twilight, I forgot, you have a very spacious rear cargo bay!"
Twilight blushed a bright crimson, revving up her motors to attempt to outpace Trixieberg. It was no use. "Leave my aft out of this!" she protested.
Trixieberg just laughed as she banked sharply to push Twilight out the way, knocking the little blimp into a spin. "Come on Twilight!" she mocked. "Trixieberg waits for no blimp!"
***
The next few hours of the journey passed in awkward silence, with just the buzzing of engines to fill the void. As night fell, both airships found their gasbags cooling, causing their altitudes to drop. Out of necessity, they huddled together for warmth.
Twilight eyed Trixieburg suspiciously. It had barely been a month since the boastful zeppelin had sailed into town, mocking her friends and showing off about how she had defeated a Major Ursa. A Major Ursa was a semi-mythical beast that resembled a red biplane; many airships lived in fear of its dangerous machine guns. Two little balloons had travelled to the forest and woken up a baby Ursa, and it was only through Twilight Blimple's quick thinking that the town was saved.
Trixeburg had flown away in shame. Twilight hadn't broached the subject yet; she imagined Trixieburg was still bitter from the experience.
Oddly enough, it was Trixieburg who broke the long silence. "I never said thank you, Twilight."
Twilight blinked, her rudders rotating in shock. "Uh, what?"
Trixieburg banked slightly. "I was out of order and you saved me. It hadn't been a good year for me. I shouldn't have flown off like that. I... I was glad it was you, Twilight."
Twilight bobbed a bit higher at this revelation. This was a side of Trixieburg she hadn't expected. "Y-you're sorry?" she stammered. "I mean, I thought..."
Trixieberg cast her eyes down. "I've always been brash to hide my feelings. And I... I guess I'm extra brash with you, because my feelings for you are... extra strong." At this, Trixieburg did something Twilight would never have expected.
She banked back towards Twilight, swinging herself around, her cabin pressed against Twilight's in an impassioned kiss. Twilight felt her engine thumping hard, blushing at this. She felt herself returning the kiss, her fins moving across Trixieberg's nacelles, her gas bag rubbing tenderly against Trixieburg's rigid frame as they embraced.
"I... I had no idea" Twilight gasped, her propellers spinning harder than ever at every touch. How could such a magnificent airship like Trixieberg possibly love a dumpy little blimp like her? This was like one of the romances novels she used to peruse back in her hanger; an impassioned tryst on a starry night.
"I've always loved you Twilight" Trixieburg smiled back. "Ever since that first meeting, when you floated into view. Your little ducting fans, the way your fins bob up and down. You're just perfect."
Twilight's purple cabin blushed bright red, harder than ever before. "Trixieberg..." she whispered shyly. "Do... do you want to... mid-air refuel?"
Trixieberg grinned. "Oh Twilight, you're so vanilla. I was thinking more about some docking."
Twilight gasped, but the allure of the powerful zeppelin was too much for her. She floated up beneath Trixieberg, and opened her cargo bay door, trembling. Soon she felt Trixieberg's gangplank extending, grappling onto her.
"Oh Trixieberg, Trixieberg!" Twilight cried, the little blimp bobbing up and down softly beneath the impassive, huge zeppelin. "Board me!"
As Twilight became lost in her passion, she did not notice Trixieberg decoupling, or the swoosh as the zeppelin suddenly started to ascend higher into the sky. She did, however, notice herself getting heavier as she dipped down towards the ground, struggling to give herself some lift.
"I don't understand..." she wondered loudly, and then gasped in realisation - Trixieberg had unloaded her cargo into her!
"See you later, loser" mocked Trixieberg as the majestic zeppelin climbed higher and higher. "You can deliver all the cargo to Hull; the great and powerful Trixieberg has far more important things to do!"
Twilight looked longingly into the sky as Trixieberg sailed away into the stars. A single tear rolled down her cabin. "I'll see you again" she sobbed at the departing zeppelin. "Oh, what huge vanity!"

Lustig! Die großartige und mächtige Trixieburg ist natürlich das beste Luftschiff der Welt!
I had never before wondered what would happen if Twilight and Trixie were blimps that were in love. Now that I know, however, I can't imagine life without this knowledge.

Good day.
Glad to see this on here. Still one of the funniest fanfiction I've ever read
troll.me/images/jackie-chan-whut/wtf-did-i-just-read.jpg
And why do I fell like giving this 5 stars?
Wat.
I just read the title and the description and... wat.
I need to read this. FOR SCIENCE!
Okay, I know I laughed, but I have no idea why. What is it in here that I find funny? I...just...
Screw you, human instinct that promotes a positive emotional response to lucridity.
As I finish this, I am left with the greatest feeling of wat in my entire life.
I am genuinely impressed at your ability to write something this well written, that manages to confuse my poor mind so much, while sumultaniously managing to a fairly okay plot into it.
I need more of this. xD
What?
wut
It's so great! We loved it. But you got us in trouble. 1 star.
Loljk.
With the risk of sounding like everyone else: WAT?!?!
And now we are doing inanimate objects?
... I am at a lost for words. What is even worse that I found this slightly arousing...
Gack..... I really need to get my head out of the gutter.
OK I have no idea, where the fuck you got such an idea, but here:
Take my stars!
"Die großartige und mächtige Trixieburg." - Genial^^
Fine.
What?
FINE. FIVE STARS. BASTARD.
What. I don't even.
Dammit. Fine.
THE SHIT?
Rule 34 to the max.
"Oh, what huge vanity!" really? That's just awful
...But also hilarious, awfully hilarious, so 5 out of 5.
121637THE FUCK?
Simply amazing. :)
I hope we get to see Ruddershy and Pinkie Sky before long...
finally someone has asked the question that has plagued my mind! genuinely in tears with laughter it is soo terribly funny and i dont know why i like it
I still remember when I first read this in EqD.
This is without a doubt one of the most weirdly hilarious fics I've ever read.
... The fuck?
Well....it scared and disturbed me while I laughed my head clean off, well done good sir, you made me terrified of airships :D.
WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN-
*clopclopclopclop*
There is no love purer than that between two rigid airship pony lesbians
This is the story the universe was created to tell
Edit: There's a couple of italic tags near the end that are in HTML rather than unicode (I think it's unicode. They're in carets rather than brackets, is my point.)
This is the greatest thing ever.

Good catch, thanks! Fixed!
I lost it at gasbag. And that wasn't even that far.
But um. Very good.
So she's called Trixieburg and she has German writing on her side . . . I can't imagine she has a happy ending
This is hilarious. 5 stars.

Why does this exist? And why did I love it so? 5 starts sir, 5 stars.
You should write a sequel where Luna is one of these.

Wait... airships... plus... shipping...
You sir, are a genius! When I first looked at the description, I thought it would be bad, you sir, have once again proved to never judge a book by it's cover! Take my stars, all of them!
Trixie you bastard! Trickery! Foalishness! How could you leave poor Twilight Blimple like that?! May your hull get thorn to shreds by a thousand angry flying thingamagics!
Ehh... Great story!
I erm.. I got no time right now but I will DEFINITELY read up tomorrow how the hay you got a 4.9 rating from 71 voters with THAT theme..
