Before the Friendship Games: Dean Cadance

Cadance neared her office and began to unlock her door, when her phone buzzed. She entered her office and sat down at her desk, then took out her phone.

Just a heads up. Sugarcoat has a potential new recruit on her hands. - CC

The Dean raised an eyebrow. Perhaps today would end on a high note after all.

Thank you. I'll contact her immediately.

Cadance smiled, then sent a text to Sugarcoat.

Your mother told me you know someone who wants to join the cause.

I do.

Do you want me to send him over after school? - Sugarcoat

Yes.

I'd like to meet him.

---------------------------------------------

Sugarcoat, Neon Lights and Crystal Clarity left Cadance's office, closing the door behind them.

Cadance smiled. It warmed her heart to see that love could be found within the halls of Crystal Prep Academy, even after everything that Cinch had done. She sighed dreamily. Love. The word alone spread warmth throughout her body. The Dean shook her head, then got up from her desk. The day was over, and she needed to be well rested for the Friendship Games. Cracking her neck, she left her office and closed the door behind herself.

---------------------------------------------

Cadance yawned as she went inside her house. The day had been an eventful one, to say the least. If she didn't get a good night's sleep after all that happened, she didn't know what she'd do... The Dean changed into her nightwear and crawled into her bed, hoping for a decent night's sleep. Gradually, she drifted off...

---------------------------------------------

Dean Cadance opened her eyes and found herself at peace. She was on a beach, by herself. Seagulls flew by, crying out every so often as the crashing of waves added to her comfort. The sun was out in full force, and the weather was nice and warm. The Dean got off of her lawn chair and sprinted forward, trying to keep her bare feet from touching the sand for too long. A tropical breeze blew, causing her hair to billow in the wind.

Cadance sighed happily, enjoying the summer air as she continued traversing the seemingly endless beach. Only then did she noticed that she seemed to be alone. That didn't feel right. This warmth she felt was meant to be shared with someone and did her little good, if any, to have it all to herself.

Cadance blinked and realized she was in a sauna, barely clothed and surrounded by walls made of wood. The warmth stayed with her as she took a deep breath, then laid down and stared up at the ceiling. This would be a lot better if she wasn't by herself...

Steam rose from the coals in the center of the room as a sizzling noise filled her ears. The Dean heard the door open. Ah, good. She was expecting company. Radiant Hope was due any day now...

"Hey, Cadance."

Cadance shot up as she realized that her sauna companion was not Radiant Hope, but...

"Shining Armor?!" The Dean blushed furiously as she tried her best to cover herself up.

Shining Armor chuckled. "You're cute when you're all flustered." The warmth around Cadance strengthened at his words, as did the heat that rose to her face. The CPA alumni smiled warmly and strolled over to her, keeping his towel in place.

Cadance backed away slowly. "I... I don't know if I'm comfortable sharing this room with you."

"Come on now, Cadance," Shining said softly. "We've known each other for years. I promise you can trust me."

The Dean eyed Shining in uncertainty, causing him to lift up his free hand. "I promise I won't do anything unless you give me consent." Cadance relaxed slightly, but still kept her eyes on Shining as he walked closer, then sat next to her. "Nice and toasty in here, isn't it?" He smiled, and her heart skipped a beat as she felt the temperature of the room rise.

"Yeah..." Cadance trailed off, getting lost in Shining's cerulean eyes. What was she so worried about? He was right, the two of them had known each other for a long time. She'd seen him in his swim trunks, with his toned chest... the Dean blinked, shaking her head.

"Is everything okay," Shining asked.

"Yeah," Cadance said as she began to inch towards him. "I'm just... thinking."

The room heated up further the closer Cadance got to Shining.

"Oh, yeah? About what?"

"About you... and me..." Cadance's eyes widened in surprise. Where did that come from?

Shining Armor crawled towards the Dean in an attempt to meet her halfway. "It's funny you should say that," he said as he blushed. "I-I've been th-thinking about you and m-me, too."

Cadance took a deep breath, then exhaled, gazing into Shining's eyes as the two reached touching distance. "You have a crush on me, don't you?"

Shining's face became red with embarrassment. "I do..." He reached out and caressed the Dean's cheek, causing her to shudder in excitement.

Cadance could hold back no longer, and she slowly closed in on Shining Armor... and planted her lips on his as she let go of her towel.

Shining sighed into kiss and let go of his own towel, burying his hands in Cadance's hair. Hands explored bodies as kisses became stronger and longer. Intense sensations gave way to cries of passion as the heat of the sauna rose, causing steam to obscure their vision. The couple's lovemaking was not deterred in the slightest and continued with no signs of stopping... until Cadance woke up.

---------------------------------------------

Cadance opened her eyes, bewildered by her dream. She had never experienced anything like it! The warmth she felt from Shining Armor still hadn't left her... The Dean's eyes widened and she gasped as everything became abundantly clear. Oh, no. No, this couldn't be happening. Not now! Not on what could be one of the most crucial days of her life!

She had wanted for it to happen to her so badly, and now it had...

The Arrow of Love finally struck.
