Twilight giggled as she Felt Scootaloos feathers tickle her sensitive belly. As everypony got up from their positions on the floor, a bright red flame flashed in front of Luna, before a scroll fell to the floor. "It would seem my Sister has decided to give me the week off" Luna said after she had picked up the scroll and read it. Twilight spotting a glance between Spike and Luna, saw that they both looked extremely happy at the news, Twilight knew why Luna would be glad to get some time off, but she didn't understand why Spike would be just as happy unless... "Om my gosh, you two will make such a perfect couple" Twilight exclaimed as she brought both Luna and Spike into a big hug. " Were we really that obvious?" Luna asked shyly, Spike wrapping a claw around her hoof for comfort. "No, I only figured it out because Spike was just as happy as you were that you got a whole week off" Twilight told Luna kindly. "But you two shouldn't have to hide that your in love with each other!" Twilight added passionately as an afterthought. "Really?" Spike and Luna asked in unison. "Of course you shouldn't hide your love for each other, nopony else has the right to tell you who you can and can't love!" Fluttershy replied while giving Twilight a loving nuzzle. "Thanks for being OK with us, Big sis" Spike said as he embraced Twilight. "Your welcome little bro" replied Twilight as she gestured for everypony else to join the embrace. They remained in a silent embrace for what seemed an eternity to the happy family until a bitter wind began to bite at their fur and steal the warmth away from the group hug. "Come on everypony, let's get inside before we end up catching a cold" Twilight said as they began to shiver. Everypony not wanting to stay out in the cold quickly trotted back up the stairs and into the warmth of Twilight's castle. Once they were inside they all decide to to have a hot chocolate and sit around the fire cuddled up in a blanket. As Luna, Spike and Scootaloo got cozy under the blanket, Twilight and Fluttershy entered the kitchen to make everypony's hot chocolate. "Twilight Darling, I was wondering if we could go on our first date tomorrow?" Fluttershy asked as she finished stirring Scootaloos hot chocolate. "Of course we can but we'll have to find somepony to look after Scootaloo" Twilight said as she gave Fluttershy a gentle nuzzle, eliciting a small giggle from the shy Pegasus pony. "We could always ask Rainbow Dash" Fluttershy suggested as she regained her composure and placed both her own mug and Scootaloos on the tray. "yeah your right, once Scootaloos in bed i'll pop out and ask her, i'm sure you'll be fine with Luna and Spike till i get back" Twilight replied as she hovered the tray in front of her. "Come on lets get these drinks to the other and get warmed up ourselves. Later on that evening, once Scootaloo was asleep Twilight set off towards Rainbow Dash's cloud house on the outskirts of ponyville, whispering to herself bitterly as she wen't. "Oh, sure Twilight offer to go and ask Dash to mind your daughter in person, it's so celestia damned cold out here you should only freeze into a pony pop once you reach Rainbow's house!" Once Twilight reached Rainbows house she flew up to the door to find a note on it. 'Staying over at AJ's.'. The note finally broke Twilight's nerves "Oh come on, what am i supposed to do teleport there!" She nearly screamed in annoyance, until she realized that she could teleport there. "He he, sooo glad no pony saw that" She said before Teleporting to sweet apple acres. Once Twilight arrived she knocked on the door expecting Big Mac to answer it, but was instead greeted by Rainbow and Applejack themselves. "Hiya Twi, what can we do for ya?" Applejack asked as she and Rainbow stepped to the side to allow Twilight to enter the house. "Well me and Fluttershy were going to go on our first date tomorrow, and we wondered if Dash would watch Scootaloo for us tomorrow, and of course you're welcome to help too AJ" Twilight replied cheerfully as warmth began to seep back into her body. "No problem Twi, me and AJ will be over around Five o'clock, that sound good to you." Rainbow Replied, Applejack nodding her head in agreement. "Yeah that's fine and thanks for doing this on such short notice you two." Twilight said as she gave her friends a good bye hug. "No problem Sugarcube" AJ replied as she tipped her stetson at Twilight, before the purple alicorn teleported back to her castle. Once Twilight was back everypony decided to go to bed. Once Twilight and Flutteryshy were snuggled up in bed, they decided to read for a bit as both of them were excited for tomorrow. As the night went on Fluttershy began to wonder where they would go for their first date and eventually decided to ask Twilight. "Twilight sweetheart, where are we going to go for our first date?" Fluttershy asked her marefriend, a cute, quizzical look on her face. "That's a surprise cutie" Twilight teased as she lit her horn and moved the books they had been reading of the bed and onto the bookcase before stretching her wings around her marefriend and cuddling into her. Between Twilight's cuddling and and the warmth of the sheets Fluttershy was soon fast asleep herself and dreaming of what tomorrow's surprise could be. Later on in the night Scootaloo came into her mum's room and Curled up in between her parent's wings, just as she was about to fall asleep however she noticed a shooting star and made a wish, that she could find love and happiness with her crush. The same way her moms had.
