Trixie is Pregnant and it’s Twilight’s Problem

Chapter Eight: Of Rainbows and Crushes

Written by TheCrimsonDM

With Rainbow Dash laying on the couch and having a back massage from her buttery fluttery friend she found her mind was still racing. The anger had faded a fair bit now but something still felt off. The way Twilight was so protective over Trixie was strange. “Why? Why did Twilight get so mad at me?”

Fluttershy replied with a voice that oozed honey. “Mmm, I think she just wants to keep her pupil safe. Twilight’s never had a student before. Maybe she’s over protective?”

Rainbow Dash buried her head into the pillow. At least having Fluttershy on her back caressing her with those soft warm hooves felt godly. It was like her entire body had become warm jelly. If Fluttershy wasn’t the best at this, then she didn’t know who would be? Not that Rainbow Dash would ever let anypony else try this kind of thing, or even let anypony know that she let Fluttershy do this kind of thing. It was very much their secret.

Rainbow Dash felt a particularly pleasant spot being caressed and had to stifle an embarrassing noise coming from her mouth. “So… she’s mad at me. Like really mad.”

Fluttershy hummed as she moved her hooves a bit lower onto Rainbow’s back. “W-well, maybe. B-but if I know Twilight she’ll forgive you if you apologize.”

Rainbow Dash groaned. “But I’m too awesome to apologize for something so stupid. All I did was make a threat… it’s not like I was ever going to make good on it, she should just know that.”

Fluttershy replied. “Do you think Trixie knows that?”

Rainbow Dash was quiet for a moment. “Probably not.”

Fluttershy’s hooves moved progressively lower and her beginning to get to some personal space territory. Not that Rainbow Dash minded, but she uh, she had to put up some kind of fight. For appearances sake. She didn’t want Fluttershy to think anything weird about her… even if the reverse wasn’t exactly true. Those warm, gentle hooves were a godsend on her lower back. So long as they stayed there Rainbow Dash wouldn’t have to force herself to say anything.

Fluttershy seemed to pick up on her resistance even before Rainbow said anything as the hooves moved up on her back just a little. Just enough to show that Fluttershy was not meaning to go so low on purpose. It was almost painful to think Fluttershy didn’t to go any lower but Rainbow Dash had come to accept that by now. Fluttershy might have been her best friend but she wasn’t ever going to be anything more than that. Heck, Fluttershy had even dated other ponies once or twice so any interest that could have been there was clearly gone… great now she was angry and sad.

Fluttershy spoke quietly. “You know what you need to do now, d-don’t you?”

Rainbow Dash grunted. “Yeah… but I’m going to hate it. I just don’t understand why… and that is what bugs me the most.”

Fluttershy paused for a moment before saying something that drove a spike through Rainbow Dash’s heart. “How would you react if somepony threatened me?”

Rainbow Dash jumped up from the couch and into the air knocking Fluttershy down onto the couch. “Oh my gosh! I can’t believe how stupid I freaking am. Your right! If somepony had said that to you I’d have killed them. What if… what if Twilight feels the same way about Trixie!”

Fluttershy stared up. “Feels um… what?”

Rainbow Dash hurried to the door threw it open and flew off faster than before. The massage oil quickly drying from the wind rushing around her. She had to make this right, and right now. She was such a dunce. Twilight was her friend and if she wanted to keep Trixie around and protect her then she could do just that and it was Rainbow’s job to help her not cause any problems. Stupid, stupid, stupid. What was the point of being the element of loyalty if she was going to throw that away just because she didn’t like Trixie… Oh by Celestia’s shining massive butt…

Rainbow Dash felt like had become Gilda.

Twilight heard first the thud from downstairs as something heavy fell. She stood up intending on running down to see what happened. Surly Spike had dropped something from the closet again, in fact opening that closet was kind of a hazard in and of itself.

It was the blood curdling scream that sent shivers running through her body. Twilight didn’t even need to think as she teleported downstairs in a flash of pink light. She stood there witnessing a scene of horror. Rainbow Dash stood in the door way staring down at Trixie who was some feet away and lying on the floor. Spike was trying to help Trixie out but the look in Trixie’s eyes. The pinpricked pupils, the bulging eyes the grimace of pure terror. It set something off in Twilight and she swiftly made her way between the two facing Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash blinked a few times and attempted to speak. “I uh, look I have um,”

Twilight cut her off. “Rainbow Dash! How dare you! How very dare you, burst back into my home, and and and,” Oh by Celestia, she didn’t’. “YOU!” She jammed a hoof at Rainbow Dash. “Did you push her?”

Rainbow Dash blinked. “What no, no I didn’t do anything yet.”

Twilight took a step forward. “YET?”

Rainbow Dash lowered her head looking from Twilight to Trixie with obvious guilt on her face. “I just wanted to say-“

“SAY WHAT?” Twilight felt her body as tense as a string pulled taught, so taught it was about to snap. “What on earth did you want to say? Another threat?”

“N-no, I’m sorry!”

Twilight glared at her. “Oh, so now you’re sorry?”

Rainbow Dash lowered her head further as she back up to the door way. “I am. I realized I did something bad and I’m sorry. I’m sorry to you and I’m sorry to her too.”

Twilight watched Rainbow Dash for a moment. Her body language showed obvious signs of guilt. So maybe she really did feel sorry but the point is she had still put Trixie into a state of panic. Oh… oh no, panic was bad. Stress was bad.

Twilight spun around and galloped to Trixie’s side. Trixie still looked a nervous wreck. Her breathing was rapid. She had to fix this and now. Twilight’s horn lit up and she cast a calming spell over Trixie. In seconds Trixie’s eyes returned to a normal state, her breathing slowed and her grimace relaxed into a frown. Twilight laid down and was already examining Trixie for any signs of danger or an immediate need for a hospital visit.

Trixie stared at her. “Um… Twilight, why are you staring at that?”

Twilight looked up to meet Trixie’s eyes. “Are you okay? How are you feeling? Any pain, any, anything?”

Trixie shook her head. “Trixie is fine. She was just startled. She’s not even sure why now…” She looked over at Rainbow Dash who was standing in the door way looking a little lost. “Trixie forgives you.”

Rainbow Dash let out a sigh of relief. “Good, I was afraid that maybe I might have crossed another line.”

Twilight’s head snapped back and glared at Rainbow Dash. “You did! At least with me. I’m glad you’re apologizing but I’m trying to keep this home as calm and safe as possible and you bursting in like that does not help.”

Rainbow Dash lowered her head and stared at the floor. She pawed at it a few times. “I… listen, this whole thing is weird for us but I’m okay with it. I… I want to trust your judgment Twilight. If you want Trixie around then I’ll want Trixie around.”

Twilight felt herself beginning to calm a little Rainbow Dash really was repentant after her actions this morning. She also couldn’t blame her too much for acting rash and fast like she always did. After all this was the pony that continuously broke through her windows for weeks just to say hi… actually she still did that on occasion, greatest flier in Equestria her hind quarters, how does one fly through the closed window like some kind of blind crow?

Still they were friends and Twilight didn’t want that relationship to end just because of any current mission. “I’ll forgive you, but just do your best to help me keep a calm and relaxed atmosphere okay?”

Rainbow Dash nodded. “Y-yeah… Sorry again. I didn’t realize how close you were to Trixie. Seeing you like this now… I kinda get it.”

Twilight felt a little strange by the way Rainbow Dash said that. Had she really caught on to what was happening? “What do you mean?”

Rainbow Dash didn’t meet her gaze but she replied, “Well… you want to keep her safe right?”

“Yes.”

“And you like her?”

“Well… I do.” That was an honest statement much to Twilight’s surprise.

Rainbow Dash smiled. “I guess I should have figured you’d not only have to find a magical pony to date but you’d also be gay. I mean… it was kind of obvious.”

What Rainbow Dash said wasn’t untrue but it felt awkward as if Twilight was missing something. “Well… thank you?”

Trixie sat up and wrapped a hoof around Twilight’s neck bringing her into a hug. “Rainbow Dash, you approve?”

Rainbow Dash shrugged. “Sure, I mean, I’m not one to criticize.”

Trixie smiled but it didn’t touch her eyes. “Oh, thank you. But please, keep this a secret, we aren’t ready to share it yet if you understand.”

Rainbow Dash smiled. “Fair ‘nuff. I’ll just leave you too alone now… um… am I still grounded?”

Twilight was not at all sure of what was going on but she offered a weak smile. “No, you’re not. Just remember, it’s a library, calm and quiet.”

Rainbow Dash flexed her wings and backed out the door. “Yep and boring too, see you girls later.”

Twilight closed the door after her and relaxed. Trixie was still holding her. Not that Twilight minded that much, she was a fan of hugs from warm ponies but she felt like something had just happened. Something that went way over her head. She looked at Trixie whose face turned pink and she let go instantly. Twilight smiled at her. “Well that was exciting. Are you sure you’re okay?”

Trixie nodded. “Yes… but um, how good is she at keeping secrets?”

“When she means it, she’s the best.”

Trixie let out a sigh. “Good because Trixie doesn’t want all of your friends to think we are dating.”

Twilight blinked. “D-d-dating?”

Oh… by the heat of Celestia’s sun… This just got a lot more complicated.
