//------------------------------// // "I love you, Twilight." // Story: Winning Her Heart // by AnonyMiss //------------------------------// The picture brought tears in Twilight's eyes. It was a picture of a teenage girl, with Star Hunter. Twilight could've thought they were siblings or relatives... if they hadn't been kissing. All this time Twilight thought she had a chance with Star Hunter, but he already had someone else. Twilight put down the phone and ran. She didn't want to go home. She needed to talk to a friend. She needed someone to comfort her. So she went to the first person she thought of. Rainbow Dash was just about finished with her apology present for Twilight. She also had made a card for her, stating how sorry she was. "There! I'm done. What do you think Tank?" Rainbow proudly held up her masterpiece for Tank to see, but Tank couldn't see anything, for he was asleep. "Heh. Guess it was pretty boring watching me, huh. Sleep tight Tank." Rainbow put the geode necklace in a box she found, along with the card. Now all she had to do was give it to Twilight. She heard a knock on the door. She didn't know who it was, for she didn't expect any visitors today. She went downstairs and opened the door. It was Twilight. She looked out of breath, and it was obvious that she had been crying. "Twilight? W-what's wrong?" Twilight just stepped inside without answering and sat down. Rainbow came and sat down beside her. Twilight didn't say anything, she just rested her head against Rainbow's shoulder and began crying again. Rainbow waited for Twilight to calm down a bit to ask again, "What's wrong?" Twilight took a deep breath before answering. "Star Hunter he..." Rainbow got angry. "What did he do to you?!" Twilight sighed. "I guess it's not really his fault. He has the right to like someone else.." "I don't understand." "Star Hunter already has a girlfriend, at least they looked pretty into each other.." The thought made Twilight start to tear up again. Rainbow Dash didn't know what to say. She felt a rush of joy, but when she looked over at Twilight, all she could feel was sadness. She felt bad for Twilight. "Hey, Twi? I have something to show you. I'll be right back." Rainbow Dash hurried up the stairs. When she returned, she had a small box with her. She gave it to Twilight. "W-what's this?" Twilight asked. "Why don't you open it and find out?" Twilight opened the box. Inside she saw a beautiful geode necklace inside. Along with a piece of folded paper. She read the card. When she was finished reading, she smiled. Rainbow was relieved when she saw Twilight smile, at least she wasn't sad anymore. "Rainbow, thank you, it's a wonderful gift. and of course, I forgive you." "Heh. Thanks." "There's still something that bothers me," Twilight said. "Yeah?" "Why...why we're you acting so.." Twilight thought for a moment for the right words. "Strange?" Rainbow was nervous. She knew this would come up again sooner or later. Twilight nodded. Rainbow took a deep breath. She knew it was now or never. She had to confess her feelings towards Twilight. "Twilight. I was acting differently because I was jealous." Twilight was confused. "But you said you didn't like Star Hunter." "I wasn't jealous of you I was jealous of him." "Jealous of Star Hunter? But then that means.." Twilight gasped. "You.." Rainbow took a deep breath. "Like you? Yeah. I have for a couple of months now. I just never told you because I was scared. I was scared that..you'd say no, and it would ruin what we have already. I'm still new to this whole romance thing." Twilight didn't say anything. She just started to cry. Rainbow Dash definitely did not predict a reaction like that. "Uh..Twilight? You okay?" "Rainbow Dash, I'm so sorry, I'm a terrible friend." "What? Why would you say that?" "I should've realized that you had feelings for me. Instead, I was so stupid to talk about my feelings for someone else in front of you like that. I probably hurt you so much. That's probably why you got so mad the other day. I am so sorry, I really am." "Twilight. It's not your fault none of this is." Rainbow pulled Twilight close and hugged her. "Rainbow Dash, I want to make it up to you. I never understood why, but whenever I thought about Star Hunter, you also came up in my mind. I guess it's because I liked you a little too. I don't know if a relationship between us would work, but I'm willing to try." Rainbow Dash didn't say anything. She just hugged Twilight tighter. FOUR YEARS LATER Four years have passed. Rainbow and Twilight were getting married in a month. They had bought a house near the ocean. It was Twilight's dream to live at the edge of the water. Away from a city, where she could see the stars every night. Rainbow Dash was helping her fiance unpack. "I can't believe it's finally happening! We're getting married! Then we could adopt a child or two, we'll go on family vacations together and have lots of fun! Oh! We could also-" "Whoah, whoah, whoah! Hold on there Twilight. Let's just get married first and we'll work it out from there. Now help me finish unpacking." Rainbow chuckled. "Alright, alright." Twilight smiled. As she was unpacking, she stumbled across something. She held it up and smiled. "Well, this brings back memories. Did you pack this? I don't remember doing it." Rainbow came over to where Twilight was. "I don't remember packing it.." It was the geode necklace Rainbow gave Twilight when they first started dating. The two of them smiled at the memory. "Hey...you should wear it on our wedding day," Rainbow suggested. "Definitely," Twilight said. She put on the necklace. "It really suits you." "The one who made it for me knows me pretty well," Twilight said with a wink. The couple came closer until there was no more space between them, and gave each other a kiss. "I love you, Twilight." "I love you too, Rainbow."
