When we woke up the next day, I refused to get up right away. Instead, I cuddled and kissed with Twilight for the next fifteen minutes and she had no objections to that.
"We should have a 'fun' night this evening.", I told her. "Something we may need your soundproof magic bubble for or the whole town will hear you." I used my best bedroom eyes on her and brushed my fingers through her mane.
"I would like that.", she answered blushing heavily.
We both had been so exhausted from our research and other stuff lately, that we fell asleep almost instantly when we lay in bed.
"Let's have an easy day today and waste our energy tonight.", I said with a lewd grin and sealed it with a deep kiss while Twilight hummed approvingly.
...
Just as we got out of bed we heard the typical "you-got-mail" burp from Spike. Sure enough, we heard his little feet run up the stairs shouting Twilight's name.
He stormed into the room holding a scroll in his paws which was immediately taken by my marefriend's magic. Quickly she read through it and her cheeks began to form a huge grin.
"Cadence’s wedding is in two weeks and she wants me in Canterlot tomorrow to decide on a dress and give me a list of things I can organize.", Twilight squeed.
The amount of joy I felt through our connection was almost overwhelming.
"That's great news. But isn't this a bit rushed?", I asked her.
"What do you mean? Two to four weeks is the typical amount of time from an engagement to the wedding." She looked a bit confused.
I was quite surprised. "In our world, it's more like six to twelve months, that's why I felt it was rushed."
"When you already know you want to marry somepony, why would you wait such a long time?", she asked.
"I... well there are a lot of preparations, invitations and stuff you know."
"If you really want to, it all can be done within a single week.", she countered. “You’re talking to the pony who was able to organize the whole school library by word count, size, and taste the day after school enrollment.”
“Whaaa…” I decided to let it slide. "Well, I guess that's true. Let's just say our worlds are different in this aspect." I shook my head. "Anyway, I'm quite happy there is so much for you to organize."
What I said would have been a cruel joke to someone else, but not for Twily, no her whole body seemed to be glowing and her face showed pure joy.
"Thanks, I will answer her right away."
...
We all ate breakfast together. Twilight was reading a book about wedding preparations while eating a sandwich and Spike had cereal with ruby dust. I had a regular fruit cereal with a glass of apple juice from AJ's farm, it quickly had become my favorite drink here in Equestria.
"Twilight, could you please pass me the milk jug?", I asked.
It took a few seconds before she noticed I was speaking to her and she shifted her attention from her book to me.
"Sorry, what was it?", she asked a bit bashful.
"Pass me the milk, please.", I repeated and extended my good hand towards it.
Suddenly it flew towards me at high speed, I was just able to dodge it before it shattered against the wall and milk sprayed everywhere.
"What was that about?!", I shouted.
"I didn't do anything, I swear.", she replied.
A look into her shocked expression was more than enough to prove her words. I looked down at my hand. Had this been me again?
"Umm what just happened?", Spike asked confused.
"It seems Stella's body is reacting to our world by developing some powers of her own.", Twilight explained our assumption.
"Like in one of my comic books!", he shouted excitedly. "Can I be your sidekick?"
"Sorry, Lyra asked first.", I answered.
"Nuts!"
I was amused to be friends with the biggest nerds in all of Equestria. I focused on the book lying before my marefriend and extended my hand towards it. "Book!"
Nothing happened.
"Maybe your body still needs time adapting to all of this, my first levitation spell was hard for me too."
"Or maybe my whole body goes *PUFF* someday.", I mumbled.
"I told you not to think about that, everything will be fine!", Twilight shouted. It was obvious she wanted to calm both of us with this statement.
I walked to her and drew her into a hug. "I'm sorry. You're right, I shouldn't think such grim thoughts."
"I’ll clean up the mess." Spike picked up the pieces of the shattered jug.
"Thank you, Spike.", I said while I stroked Twilight's back.
...
When Lyra showed up in the lab I told her of my decision to make this a relaxed day and only work until our group lunch.
"Ohhhh, can't I research on my own this afternoon?", she asked.
I was hesitant because of what I had heard about her so far, but she had proven to be really helpful and concentrated when we did our research on the crystals and other stuff.
"If you promise to be extra careful and not to do anything dangerous I trust you researching alone."
She jumped up and down with a huge grin. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!"
I already regretted my decision.
...
Twilight, Lyra, and I walked to the nearby restaurant we had agreed to meet in.
"Bon Bon is so excited we're planning an event with a princess, she thought about high society events we could attend.", she told us while bouncing next to us Pinkie-Pie-Style.
"Luna is much less formal than she expects.", I replied. "But I'm sure we find some common ground."
As we got close we saw Applejack and Bon Bon already awaiting us. We sat at their table and placed our orders. I enjoyed being with all of them, a situation I would have avoided back on earth.
We made small talk until our food arrived and we enjoyed our meals to the fullest. Finally, it was time to talk about possible plans for our triple date.
"Maybe a visit to the Canterlot art museum or the fancy ‘Moon Stone’ spa ?", Bon Bon suggested, clearly going for the high society approach.
"A Spa visit sounds nice, but a museum visit isn't a thing I see as a nice date.", I replied. "But that's just me.", I quickly added trying not to upset anyone.
Bon Bon wasn't pleased with my answer. "What's the suggestions from the princess, Applejack?", she asked hoping for some support.
AJ smirked. "She suggested pizza and karaoke."
There was silence while Bon Bon tried to process what she had heard. "Pizza...?"
"Yeah, it became quickly one of her favorite foods after I had introduced her to it.", the farm pony explained.
I tried to make the best out of this situation. "How about a nice combination of these things? We have some great pizza for lunch, head to the spa afterwards, and after a relaxing time we end the day in a karaoke bar."
Everypony agreed to this plan and we decided to go on Sunday.
"Stella!" I turned around to see who was screaming my name and saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders trotting towards us, I guessed they had just finished school.
"Hi to all of you.", I replied.
"You still haven't visited us in our clubhouse. You must come by so we can show you everything and you can help us develop new ideas.", said Scootaloo.
"Pleaaaase.", begged Applebloom and Sweetie Bell.
"Don't push her into things.", AJ scolded them.
"No, that's quite alright.", I replied. "I told them I would visit, so it's only fair they remind me. Tell you what, since Twilight will be in Canterlot tomorrow anyway, how about I visit you then?"
"Really? Yay!" The little fillies jumped up and down in excitement.
Saturday CMC, Sunday triple date, it looked like this would be a fun weekend.
