Twilight was doing her best to fly home as fast as possible. She needed time to think about what just happened and try to figure out a way as to why Celestia and Rainbow both confessed their love to her.
'I love you, Twilight.
Both confessions rang through her head non stop. Unending confusion as to why they both love her.
Twilight was fast approaching her castle. Seeing she was going to fast, Twilight decided to slow down as to not hit anything.
Twilight descended onto her balcony and landed. Once on the balcony she rushed into her room and slammed the balcony doors shut behind her.
"Ok Twilight, there has to be a reasonable explanation for this, yeah that's it." Twilight was doing her best not to panic. But was failing miserably.
Twilight began to pace back and forth in her room while talking to herself. "Let's see, Celestia confessed her feelings to me and now I have Rainbow that confessed her feelings to me." As she kept thinking aloud, her mind went to the other mares. "Oh no, what if everyone that asked me out on a date loves me. Am I going to have to choose one?"
Feeling herself about to go into a mental breakdown Twilight used the breathing technique that Cadance taught her to calm herself down. Once she felt that she was calm enough, Twilight thought aloud about Cadance.
"I have a date with Cadance tomorrow, if she confesses to me as well then that will prove that everyone that asked me out is in love with me and I will have to choose one of them." Twilight let out a deep sigh and began to yawn tiredly.
Walking over to her bed, Twilight flopped down on it and fell asleep almost instantly, but before she did she thought about Cadance and the date with her.

NEXT MORNING
Twilight woke up tired and groggily, getting out of bed, she made her way over to the restroom to shower and get ready for the day. Once Twilight was freshened up she walked out of her room and down the stairs towards the kitchen to get some breakfast.
"Hey Twilight, you don't look so good." Spike asked concerned when he walked into the kitchen.
Looking up from her plate Twilight looks at Spike for a second then back at her plate of pancakes. "Oh, hey Spike, i'm just thinking."
Spike went and grabbed his stash of gems from the counter. "Oh?, what about."
"It's about the five mares that asked me on a date. Two of them confessed their feelings to me and now I have come to the conclusion that they all are in love with me and I don't know what to do."
Spike chocked on a piece of the gem he was eating. "*cough* *cough* What! Two of them confessed to you?! Who?"
"Celestia and Rainbow were the ones that confessed to me. I have a date with Cadance today and if she confesses to me then I will know for sure that they all love me."
"Is that really a big problem if they all love you and want you as their marefriend?"
Twilight's head darted up to look at Spike with a slightly angry expression. "It is a big problem Spike, I will have to choose between the five of them and I don't know who to pick."
"Well wouldn't it be better if you went on the dates then choose the one that made you happiest."
Twilight gave the suggestion some thought before responding. "You'er right Spike, thank you, you really helped me." Twilight walked over to Spike and gave him a quick hug.
"Anytime Twilight, now I have some gems to eat and a comic to read, see you later."
When Spike walked off Twilight smiled and sat back down at the table to finish her breakfast. When she was finished she placed the plate in the sink and went to the library to get some reading done before her date with Cadance.
After about twenty minutes of trying to find a book and failing Twilight gave up. "I can't keep my mind off this, I need a second opinion." Twilight thought about who to talk to about her little problem. 'Fluttershy?, no, she is in the Rainforest studying rare animals. Rarity?, no, shes doing an entire line of dresses for Sapphire Shores and she doesn't want to be disturbed. Applejack?, no, she is in the middle of apple bucking season with her brother and its never a good idea to disturb them. Rainbow is obviously out of the question. Pinkie Pie?, no, she won't take it seriously.'
As if Pinkie had heard Twilight, Twilight hears Pinkie yell from far away. "I HEARD THAT."
"How?, you know what I am not even going to bother trying to figure out Pinkie heard my thoughts. So the only one left that I can talk to is *gulp* Discord."
Confetti came out of no where as Discord appeared. "You rang." He said with a smirk.
Twilight put a hoof on her forehead and sighed deeply. "Hello Discord."
"So what is it that you need this time."
"I just discovered that both Celestia and Rainbow are in love with me and I think everyone else that asked me out is also in love with me."
Discords blinked his eyes a few times before the information finally registered. "Well I already knew about Celestia, but I never expected Rainbow. Wait, who are the others?"
"Cadance, Spitfire and Luna." Twilight said blushing slightly.
"Wow. Never would have expected that, all the princesses are after you, as well as one of your friends and one of the Wonderballs."
"Wonderbolts." Twilight deadpanned.
Discord just waved his claw dismissively. "Same thing. Now lets get back on topic, so you have five mares after you and you believe that they all are in love with you." Twilight nodded. "Is there a problem with five mares being in love with you."
Twilight let out a sigh. "Yes, if they are all in love with me then I will have to choose between the five of them."
Discord put his claw on his chin in thought. "That is a problem. Why not go on all the dates and then choose the one that made you the happiest."
Twilight let out a soft chuckle. "That's what Spike said earlier."
"Well since me and your little assistant gave you the same answer then you should do what we said and pick the one that makes you the happiest."
"Alright, since I got the same answer I will do what you said. Thanks Discord." Twilight went up to Discord and pulled him for a hug. Discord smiled at Twilight and lightly kissed the top of her head without Twilight knowing.
"Anytime Twilight." The hug ended and Discord looked at his arm, "Now I must go, for I have tea party with some pillows and let me tell you they get pretty cranky if i'm late."
Twilight laughed at Discord. "Alright, see you later Discord, have fun." Twilight waved goodbye to Discord.
Discord snapped his claw and a scooter appeared. He got on it and put on a helmet and started the engine. The scooter turned upside down with Discord on it and he drove off out of sight.
"Haha, what am I going to do with you."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cadance was in her hotel room that she decided to stay in while here in Canterlot. She was getting ready for her date with Twilight, she decided not to wear any fancy dresses because she was going to take Twilight to the Starswirl exhibit for their date.
"After we are done at the exhibit I will confess my feelings to Twilight." Cadance squealed in excitement like a little filly.
Cadance turned to the clock, it read 12:10. "Looks like I have about fifty minutes before our date, this gives me time to finish getting ready and have a little light reading."
When Cadance finished getting ready she took out a book from her suitcase and began to read a little before her date with Twilight.
After about half an hour of reading Cadance put her bookmark on the place she stopped and closed the book. Looking back at the clock that read 12:40 Cadance decided it was time to go pick up Twilight for her date. Thinking about the date and then confessing her feelings made Cadance blush a little.
Cadance walked to the mirror and wanted to make sure she looked perfect for her date. With a nod Cadance walked out her hotel room door balcony and flew off to pick up Twilight.
'I can't wait to tell you my feelings, Twilight.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twilight was in the middle of reading one of her favorite books, 'Advanced Magical Processes', when she heard a knock at the front castle doors. Looking at the clock, it read 12:55. Twilight's widened and quickly ran towards a mirror to make sure she looked nice. When she saw she looked fine, Twilight nodded to herself and made her way to the front doors.
Opening the door, Twilight saw Cadance and instantly smiled. "It's great to see you again Cadance. Are you ready to go?"
Cadance wasn't even listening, all she was doing was staring at Twilight with her mouth opened slightly. 'She looks so beautiful. If looks could kill, I would be dead.'
Twilight waved a hoof in front Cadance's face trying to get her attention. "Uhh, Cadance, you all right?" She asked concerned.
Cadance shook her head and came out of her thoughts with her eyes looking at Twilight. "Huh? What did you say?"
"I asked if you were alright, you zoned out." Twilight's concern for Cadance grew.
Cadance let out an awkward laugh and rubbed the back of her head with a hoof. "Yeah, i'm fine. You ready to go."
Twilight moved her face closer to Cadance and squinted her eyes in thought with a hoof to her chin.
'She is so close to me, I think I might go crazy.' Cadance's was doing her best to not plant a kiss on those lips right then and there.
Twilight backed away from Cadance and let go of what she was going to say and decided to get going. "Alright Cadance, let's go." Twilight spread her wings and took off to the skies.
When Cadance saw Twilight spread her wings and take off, her own wings sprung out and she began to blush a deep shade of red. 'I'm so glad Twilight didn't see that, I really need to control myself around her.'
Getting her wings under control Cadance took flight along side Twilight. "You ready to see the Starswirl exhibit."
"Of course!" Twilight said happily.
Deciding to get a little playful, Cadance took off. "Race you there!"
"Huh, wha- hey. Get back here!" Twilight raced after Cadance giggling.
Cadance dived down and landed with Twilight not long behind. When Twilight landed she glared at Cadance while catching her breath. "Not... Fair."
Cadance giggled. "Come on Twilight, that was fun, admit it."
Twilight began to laugh alongside Cadance. "Yeah it was pretty fun."
After awhile both princesses stopped laughing and headed towards the exhibit.
In the exhibit there were journals that Starswirl documented his biggest adventures and accomplishments in, and artifacts that Starswirl collected, studied, or used on his journeys.
Twilight squealed in excitement as she gushed over her hero to Cadance. She was like a filly in a candy store. Cadance smiled and giggled to herself over Twilight talking about her hero. 'She is so cute and adorable when she gets like this.'
"Oh my Celestia, Cadance look!" Twilight grabbed Cadance's hoof and pulled her to one of Starswirls spell books. "It's the spell book 'Azul' that Starswirl used to seal away the ancient Mad king of the north. The Mad king ruled with an iron hoof and forced his people into slave labor, but when Starswirl found out, he used the spell book named 'Azul' to seal him away for all eternity in the deepest pits of Tartarus." Twilight was fan ponying like crazy.
Although Cadance was listening, her eyes were staring at her hoof that Twilight touched and began to blush.
"Oh, they have that here too!?" Twilight once again grabbed Cadance's hoof and pulled to her a candle. "It's the candle that Starswirl used to light the way in Maretonia. It's said th-" Twilight was cut off by a hoof on her shoulder.
"Twilight, I don't mean to interrupt, but can we take a break and get something to eat, I forgot to eat lunch before we had our date." Cadance said sheepishly while blushing.
Twilight smiled and nodded. "Of course we can, I am quite hungry myself to tell you the truth."
Both princesses walked off to a nearby restaurant, sat down and ordered their food. As they waited Cadance decided to make some small talk.
"So Twilight, how have you been?"
"I've been doing quite well." 'That and I believe you five all love me.' The thought brought a blush to Twilight's face. Luckily for her Cadance didn't notice. "What about you?"
"I've been doing well my self. What have you been up to lately, I hardly ever get to speak to you."
"Sorry I couldn't speak to you that much, I've been busy with my royal duties, luckily I have the entire week off so that's good." 'And a very eventful week already.'
The both of them continued to talk about what's been happening in their lives with Twilight leaving out that she got asked out by five mares. Soon their food arrived and they continued to talk while they ate.
Once they were finished and payed for the meals they got up and went back to the exhibit.
They walked around looking at everything while Twilight described what each book or artifact was and what it was used for. They stayed at the exhibit having fun and laughing with each other until the moon came up and the exhibit closed.
"Hey Twilight, you mind if we go somewhere?" Cadance asked shyly. 'It's time to tell her my feelings.'
Twilight nodded. "Sure, where are going?"
"You'll see." Cadance spread her wings and flew up onto a cloud with Twilight joining her shortly after.
"So what did you need Cadance?"
Cadance took in a breath and let it out collecting herself. "Twilight, I-I love you. Ever since you were a little filly that I foal sat I loved you, but those feelings turned into romantic feelings when we were at the Crystal Empire and I saw Sombra hurt you. I felt so destroyed when you got hurt, it was at that moment that I realized that I fell in love with you. I love your smile, your laugh, your drive for knowledge, and every little quirk you have, I love every bit of you." Cadance's heart was beating rapidly, like it's about to burst out of her chest.
Twilight's eyes were wide as she was frozen where she stood. 'I knew it, they are all in love with me. I really am going to have to choose between the five of them.'
"I'll need some time to think, if that's alright with you." Her voice was sad as she spoke.
Cadance smiled sadly. "Take as much time as you need Twilight, I don't want to rush you into anything."
Twilight went up to Cadance and pulled her into a hug. "Thank you, Cadance, for a wonderful time."
"I'd do it again to." Cadance gave a light chuckle.
They parted from the hug and Twilight spread her wings so she could go home. Giving one final glance at Cadance, Twilight took flight and headed back to her castle.
Cadance watched as Twilight flew away until she was gone. 'I can only hope you return my feelings Twilight.'
