Chapter 1 (Maybe it’s not) You are awaked by a sudden and startling jab; you eyes fly open to see what's disturbed your present sleeping. You see Twilight face in front of you “Oh good you're up.” You’re a little groggy when you start to speak “Is it morning already?” the whole time thinking to yourself sweet god please don’t be morning. Twilight twiddles her hooves “Um no it’s still late in the night.” You look past her towards the window and notice it’s still pitch black outside, your a little mad at Twilight for waking you up in the middle of the night but you do a good job at not showing it. “What do you need Twilight?” Twilight continues to fiddle with her hooves “Um well Spike sneezed on his bed and it burst into flames and he is still a little um…” You cut in “Drunk?” Twilight is quick to correct you “No there’s no alcohol in Equestria, cider is just a drink that relaxes you and if you drink too much you get really tired.” “So like alcohol right?” “No more like a drink ponies drink to relax” “So like alcohol right?” Twilight finally gives into you “Fine yes like alcohol but ponies don’t call it that.” You laugh at your victory over Twilight; you think this is the first time you have won a battle of wits over her…pretty bad it’s over something like this. “Ok so what does Spikes bed have to do with me?” You already start planning an excuse if she asks you to sleep on the floor. Twilight again fettles with her hooves “I was wondering if I could sleep with you?” “I mean just for tonight, I can get a new bed for Spike tomorrow I just don’t want him to sleep on the floor and his scales are not the funniest things to sleep next to.” You look at her for a few minute you’re not going to say no you just want to see how serious she is; you know there is a perfectly good couch downstairs. Your continuous silent stare makes her bring out the big guns, she gives an innocent little smile… god that’s cute…or is it Celestia that’s cute? You move over to the other side of the bed and watch as she crawls into the bed. You have seen the way she sleeps and it always strikes you as odd how she can pull covers up to her with her hooves. You lay in awkward silence for a few moments both of you staring at the ceiling. The silence is broken by Twilight’s voice, its a little more quiet than usual as she talks “So I was thinking about inviting the Princess up after Winter Wrap up… that way she would see your magic in person.” You agree at her comment “Well that would be better than having to write something.” She quickly sits up in the bed and now has a hyper voice “You think that’s a good idea?” Her smile and the way she is so hype scares you a little so you give a slight nod “Oh that’s great!” she lies back down and starts motioning with her hoofs towards the ceiling in circular and wavy manner “You could try all sorts of things levitation, short range teleportation OH you could even try number 25.” You yawn, you’re interested in what she’s saying but you just are too tired to care. Twilight looks to you and gives a little giggle “I guess that can wait till morning, good night.” She rolls over to her side, opposite of you; you look at her mane in the moonlight from the window you never really noticed how beautiful the colors go together with her lavender coat. You reach your hand out and start massaging her head like you would a dog. She lets out a low moan as you continue and her ears start to twitch. She slowly turns herself to face you; you stop and look into her eyes, they look different in the dimly lit room but they still have their soft color purple. Your face feels warm as blood rushes into them you’re a little embarrassed at the way she is looking at you with her big puppy dog like eyes. You extend your hand again and move from her head to her ears she closes her eyes as you rub in and around her ears. You don’t know why you are starting to feel strange, you try reminding yourself that she is just an animal. You continue rubbing her all the while trying to convince yourself the only reason you like it is because it gives you the same satisfaction that rubbing a dog dose. You move your hand down her neck and start rubbing her face in circular motions with your thumbs. Her eyes are closed and she has a part of her tongue out. You continue to move your hand down her silky feeling coat until the mind battle that is raging in your mind wins; you stop rubbing her and roll over so that you’re no longer facing her. You don’t know if she opened her eyes to see why you stopped but after a few minutes you feel a hoof embrace your side, you don’t turn but you can feel her warm body creep closer to yours. You grind your teeth trying not to turn around for fear of where it may lead. After a few minutes of silences you start to hear a faint snoring, your face cools down and you start to feel sleep settle in. End of chapter 1
