A Bet Worth Cuddles

by Twilight Star


Chapter 3

Twilight soon woke up to feeling the sun’s rays on her face. She blinked her eyes for a moment before stretching. Twilight looked to the right and saw that Rainbow was not in bed with her. Before she could ask herself where Rainbow went, she smelled a delicious breakfast. She got up from the bed and tidied it up before leaving the room and walking down the stairs. She needed to confess that despite having woken up without her marefriend, she liked to wake up with the smell of breakfast.

Upon arriving in the living room, she saw that there was orange juice on the table and two plates of toast. She noticed Rainbow filling both glasses with juice before stopping and looking at her with a smile.

“Good morning, Twilight! Sleep well?” asked Rainbow.

“Yes, mainly because you were hugging me,” Twilight replied, sitting up and wrapping the dish’s toast with her pink magic.

Rainbow looked at the left side regretfully. “I’m sorry I left you sleeping alone in bed, but I just had to make breakfast for both of us. I even wanted to wake you up, but you happen to be very cute in your sleep.”

Twilight swallowed the piece of toast and said, “It’s okay, Rainbow. I was not sad about it. And besides, I even enjoyed waking up with the smell of breakfast.” A smile appeared on Rainbow’s face.

“I am relieved to know that.” The blue pegasus sat down, picked up the toast from the plate and started eating.

As they ate, Twilight thought of yesterday afternoon, and she couldn’t help but love it. She needed to confess that she was loving how this week was going, even if it meant she couldn’t continue her studies on dragons. Rainbow, on the other hand, was finding this week pretty awesome!

After a few minutes, they finished their meal and went to wash the dishes, cutlery and glasses. Only this time, Twilight took the plates and cutlery, and Rainbow took the glasses. When they got to the kitchen, Rainbow turned on the sink and she put soap in the sponge and started washing, and Twilight too.

“So, Rainbow? I know it’s only been two days since I became your body pillow, but what do you think so far about me being your body pillow for this whole week?”

Rainbow looked at Twilight and said, “It’s been so awesome! This is certainly twenty percent cooler!” Twilight smiled at the answer and went back to her task. “What about you, Twilight?” asked Rainbow, looking at Twilight.

“I’m enjoying it too,” Twilight replied, looking at Rainbow. She took the kitchen towel and started to dry the glass.

After a few minutes, they finished washing the cutlery, glasses and plates, put them in the cupboard and went to the living room.

“So, Twily? Since you already had breakfast here, do you intend to return to the library or would you like to stay here for a while?” asked Rainbow.

Twilight put the hoof on her chin in thought. She needed to confess that she would like to go to the library to read a book, but she would like to spend some of this morning with Rainbow, even if it meant that she would spend an entire afternoon with Rainbow all week. She looked at Rainbow to speak her answer. “Rainbow, I hope you don’t mind. But, is it okay if I stay with you for a while this morning?”

“Of course I don’t mind, Twily. What would you like to do?” asked Rainbow.

Twilight thought for a few seconds before replying, “I don’t know. It could be maybe reading Daring Do books, or maybe taking a flight trip.”

“Well, after doing the dishes, I intended to take a flight ride, so since you want to spend a bit of this morning with me, I think we could be flying together,” Rainbow replied, approaching the door to open it with a hoof. Twilight accompanied her with a smile. “Come on, Twily!” Rainbow signaled with a front hoof before spreading her wings and leaving the house. Twilight spread her wings and followed.

Rainbow watched her marefriend leave the house before going to the door to close it. She approached Twilight and they started flying together across the sky. While Rainbow watched the sky, Twilight watched the ponies trot through the streets. Rainbow saw that there were even a lot of clouds in the sky today, but she would do that in ten seconds flat after she spent a little bit of that morning with Twilight.

After about twenty minutes of flight, they landed on a cloud and watched the ponies from below. Most were already out of the house and were going to stores, going to work or just taking a walk.

“Rainbow, have you ever observed ponies on top of a cloud?” asked Twilight.

Rainbow took her eyes off the city and looked at Twilight curiously. “Sometimes, yes. I also like to watch the sun go down and watch the stars on top of a cloud, it looks like I can touch the sun and the stars on account of being so close to me. Why? Have you ever watched ponies on top of a cloud?”

Twilight looked at Rainbow and said, “Unfortunately no, this is my first time doing this.”

“I see. After all, it’s been a few days since you got wings,” said Rainbow. Twilight agreed.

“Yes, and I need to confess that the view from up here is beautiful,” said Twilight, returning to watching the ponies.

“Yes, it’s beautiful,” Rainbow agreed, also looking back at the ponies.

After an hour, they stopped watching the ponies and said goodbye, both returning to their homes. It didn’t take long for Twilight to arrive at her library, since the cloud she and Rainbow were on was close to the library. She landed very close to the door and went inside.

Twilight decided to look at a clock and saw that it was still ten o’clock in the morning. Perhaps, she should read a little while lunch was not yet ready. Then, she approached a bookshelf and to choose a book to read. The purple alicorn placed the hoof on her chin, thoughtful among which book she should read now.

Let’s see… which book should I read? There are so many options that I don’t even know which one to choose. Maybe I should read a book of Daring Do, but there is also a book by a ghost pony who lives in a basement of a theater. Hmmm...

After a few minutes, Twilight decided to pick up a book about a pony that solves mysteries and went up to her room to read it in bed. Upon reaching the second floor, she saw Spike wearing a pink apron and chef’s hat, making lunch. But she soon stopped looking at Spike as she started up the stairs to her room. She lay on her stomach, opened the book and started reading the book.

After an hour, she stopped reading it when she smelled a delicious smell of food. “Twilight! Lunch is ready!” Twilight got up from the bed, leaving the book open for her to read later. She went downstairs and sat down, watching Spike put the pasta on the plate and then hand it to her.

“Here’s your plate, Twilight,” said Spike.

“Thanks, Spike,” Twilight thanked, taking the fork with her pink magic. She took some of the dough and put it in her mouth, tasting the food. It was very tasty. She watched her assistant put the pasta for him on the plate, sit down and start eating.

Twilight then lost herself in thought, thinking about Rainbow Dash and what she and Rainbow were doing during that week. She needed to confess that even though she had a few busy days, what she and Rainbow are doing now, was exactly what she was needing, because all of that she has been doing has left her with no time to relax. Good thing Rainbow gave the idea of ​​the bet, because then she could relax in the embrace of her marefriend. She intended to thank Rainbow for this when it arrived Monday.

When they finished eating, Spike picked up and stacked the plates and cutlery and took them to the sink to wash them, already Twilight went down the stairs and opened the door, leaving the library and flying through the sky, on the way to Rainbow Dash’s house.


Rainbow was reading a Daring Do book on the bed, with her head on the pillow and her abdomen up. She had finished lunch an hour ago, and now she was reading to distract herself while Twilight was not yet here. Her ears perked up when there was a knock at the door. With a smile, she got up, put the book on the side table, went down the stairs and opened the door, facing Twilight on the other side.

“Hi, Rainbow! I came to be your body pillow,” said Twilight.

“Good. Come on in, Twily,” Rainbow said, making room for Twilight to come in. Twilight came in, at Rainbow’s request, and Rainbow closed the door and led the way to the bedroom.

When they arrived at the room, they lay down on the bed together. Rainbow wrapped Twilight in a loving hug and closed her eyes. Twilight let out a slight breath because the hug was very welcoming, she opened her eyes and saw a book on the side table. Curious, she looked at Rainbow and said, “Rainbow, what book were you reading?”

Rainbow opened her eyes and said, “Why, the most awesome book of all: Daring Do!”

“And which Daring Do book was it?” asked Twilight.

“Daring Do and the holy temple,” Rainbow replied. Twilight smiled.

“This is certainly a good book of Daring Do.”

“Good? This book is awesome! No, all Daring Do books are awesome!” said Rainbow in a cheerful tone. Twilight smiled about it, she loved Rainbow’s way.

“So, Rainbow? What did you think of our morning together?” asked Twilight.

“I like it, Twily,” Rainbow said, lovingly stroking the mane of Twilight. Twilight looked to the left with a pink flush on her cheek from the affection. “How about you?”

“I ... I liked it,” Twilight replied timidly because of the affection she was getting from Rainbow.

“And... are you also enjoying being my body pillow for this entire week?” asked Rainbow, stopping stroking the mane of Twilight.

“Of course yes. This is definitely being very relaxing after what I’ve been doing for the past few weeks,” Twilight replied looking at Rainbow, not blushing anymore.

“Sometimes, it’s better to take a break and spend time with those you like,” the light blue pegasus said, “and of course when I say you should spend time with those you like, I mean me.” Twilight rolled her eyes at Rainbow’s boast with a smile. Her marefriend was certainly an displayed. But even so, she still loved, and would always love the pegasus.

They then closed their eyes, both released a slight breath at the same time, relaxing in the embrace. Twilight can’t feel anything but the happiness of having Rainbow as a marefried. Suddenly, she felt Rainbow give nuzzles to her ears, it made her blush a little and close her eyes again.

After two minutes, Rainbow stopped with the nuzzles and started giving light kisses on the alicorn’s neck, which resulted in Twilight blushing even more. She SURELY didn’t expect the pegasus to decide to kiss her neck. She started to moan.

After two more minutes, Rainbow stopped giving kisses on the neck and went back to relaxing in the embrace, but started to stroke the mane of Twilight in the meantime. Twilight was still recovering from what happened two minutes ago, but when she felt Rainbow’s hoof caress her mane, she relaxed and closed her eyes, enjoying this moment.

After ten minutes, Twilight opened her eyes when she felt Rainbow kiss her cheek, which resulted in her blushing about it. Rainbow couldn’t help but smile when she saw Twilight flushed, no matter how many times Twilight blushed, she would still be cute.

After two hours, the two mares felt sleepy, yawned and fell asleep at the same time, with both sleeping in the embrace.

Two hours later, the moon had risen on the horizon, Rainbow and Twilight were still sleeping together in bed. Twilight was the first to wake up, and then it was Rainbow. They both looked at the balcony and saw that it was already dark.

“Rainbow, I think I better go home now. It’s already night,” said Twilight.

Rainbow looked back at Twilight and released her from the embrace, allowing Twilight to get up from the bed. “Okay Twily, but don’t you want to stay here for dinner with me?”

“Thanks for the invitation Rainbow, but I would like to have dinner at the library with Spike tonight,” Twilight politely declined the invitation. “Who knows, another night?”

Rainbow sighed at the answer, crossing her hooves. “Fine…”

The two mares then left the room, went down the stairs and went to the door. Rainbow opened the door and said goodbye to Twilight with a kiss. Twilight flew across the night sky and saw that she still had a few ponies out of the house, but the percentage was minimal; most of the house lights were on. She soon saw the oak house directly ahead and with the lights on. She posed and entered the library. She soon smelled a delicious smell of food. Going up the stairs, she saw Spike put two plates of soup for her and him on the table.

Spike soon heard the sound of footsteps and looked back to see who it was, but he soon smiled when he saw Twilight. “Twilight! You came back! How was the afternoon with Rainbow?”

“It was really cute, Spike,” Twilight replied, sitting up. “How about you? How was your afternoon?”

“Mine was really good! I helped Rarity find precious jewelry for a dress,” Spike replied, sitting down to start eating.

Twilight wrapped the spoon with pink magic, took some of the soup and started eating. She started to think about what she did today, and she started to remember the book that she hadn’t finished reading in the morning. Luckily, she already knew what to do after dinner, which was to continue reading the book she was reading this morning.
