"Yo, Violet, wake up."
I was startled at the voice that came from Vinyl. I opened my eyes to find that Twilight and I were still holding each other. We must have fallen asleep. We separated, our faces burning red, So last night really did happen, I thought to myself. My heart lifting at the realization of the previous night, Twilight kissed me.
"You two okay?" Octavia was asking from next to her marefriend, the hint of a smile on her face.
"We're fine, Octavia, thank you." It was Twilight who answered, "Violet just needed some company, and we must have dozed off."
My cheeks were still burning, I don't think Twilight was fooling them.
But the pair just smiled and turned away, "Okay then, let's get ready, we need to see this Zecorah today, right?"
"Of course, we'll leave just after we get ready." Twilight answered the pair, "Violet, can I speak with you?"
"Sure,Twilight," what did she want to talk about?
She turned and headed up the stairs, I followed closely behind. As we entered the room, Twilight shut it behind us with her magic. She trotted over to the bed and lied down on it, motioning for me to join her.
"We need to talk about what happened last night, Violet." She told me in a rather serious mood.
"Sure,Twilight, what is it?"
She turned and faced me, worry in her eyes. "I think that Vinyl and Octavia know what happened."
"How would they know that? They were asleep in the other room."
"Perhaps, but if I woke up when I heard you, then I'm sure one of them did too."
"But what's wrong with them knowing? Even if they did, what's so bad about it that we'd have to hide it?"
"I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying that I think that we shouldn't tell any other pony about us."
As she finished saying this, she leaned over and kissed me lightly on the cheek. This wasn't as strong as before, but it was also a nice feeling.
"I understand, Twilight."
"Thank you, we should tell Vinyl and Octavia though, I'm sure they know already, but better safe than sorry, right?"
"Yeah, let's go tell them."
With that we headed back down to the living area, Vinyl and Octavia were waiting there.
"May we speak with you two? Violet and I have something rather important to tell you two."
"Sure , Twi, anything."
Twilight motioned for them to have a seat, which they did. I sat next to her, we were staring into each other's eyes.
She took my hoof in her own, Vinyl and Octavia simply giggled.
"We haven't even started yet and you two can't even sit still for five seconds."
"Sorry,Twi, but me and Tavi already know exactly what's going on."
"How did you know?" It was me who asked.
"Filly, you can't just stare into her eyes, wake up to find you two were hugging, and hold each other's hooves without us knowing what's going on. It's not like I know nothing, trust me, I think I know a thing or two about relationships. Isn't that right Tavi?" She said all this through small bursts of laughter.
"Yes, it is.", she leaned over to kiss her marefriend on the cheek.
"It was that obvious, huh?" I asked, disappointment in my voice.
"It's alright, your secret's safe with us."
"Thank you, guys."
Vinyl got up, then the rest of us,"Let's go see this Zecorah now."
"Of course, let's go."
With that we headed out of the house, there weren't any more of those crazed ponies, they must be gone after what happened last night.
Last night...
Tears started to well up in my eyes at the memory of the previous night. Twilight noticed and stopped. She knew what was on my mind.
She leaned closer to me and kissed my cheek, then whispered in my ear, "It's okay, Violet.We're still safe."
I returned the kiss to her cheek, then trotted over to where the mare had been last night. Her sword was still lying on the ground, along with its sheath. But the mare herself was gone. I picked up the sword and gave it to Twilight, which she accepted gratefully.
Soon, however, we found ourselves at the edge of the Everfree Forest. As we walked inside, I explained that if a pony attacked you, to warn us so we can help as fast as possible. Soon, we arrived at Zecorah's.
"Octavia, Violet, you two stay out here and keep watch, just in case anypony decides to attack us."
"Sure thing, Twilight."
She leaned forward, and our lips met again, for the second time. I could feel the warmth in my heart grow even more. It was wonderful. She broke the kiss after a moment before saying, "Be careful."
"I will."
With that, she knocked on Zecorah's door. After a moment she answered, and seeing Twilight, she let her and Vinyl in. After a moment, Octavia broke the silence, "So, what exactly happened between you and Twilight last night? You don't have to answer if I'm invading your privacy."
"It's alright, I don't mind. You have the right to know." I swallowed to clear my thoughts." Well, I saw a mare get attacked by those things we saw. And I started to cry. Twilight came downstairs to comfort me. We found ourselves staring into each other's eyes. And we leaned in... and well, well we kissed. But that's when we actually told each other our feelings for each other."
"Wow," Octavia seemed to be in shock,"I think you two are meant for each other, you both are cute together."
I felt my cheeks start to burn, "Thanks, Octavia."
Just then, we heard rustling in the bushes in front of us, I drew my bow, ready for the attacker this time. Octavia had my dagger. "Who's there?" I demanded.
The unknown pony shouted from their hiding spot. "Don't hurt me, I'm not one of them."
"Come out, now." I shouted back, "and don't try anything stupid."
Slowly, from the place the pony was hiding, a young mare stepped out. She had a light pink coat, magenta mane, which was very curly, and light blue eyes. "Pinkie?"
