Lightning was looking for stars through Twilight's telescope. It was to quiet so like any pony, small talk is what he went with.
"So what's your talent?"
"Magic"
Lightning took his eye from the eyepiece. "Well yeah, you're a unicorn. We all know magic."
"Well, yeah but my talent is magic. I can do just about any spell as long as I've learned it."
"Really? Have you ever learned any spells from my cousin." Lightning began looking through the eye piece once again.
"Yeah, I have. She taught me how to see gems that are underground."
"Really? I know how Rarity could use that spell but how could you?"
"Well, dragons LOVE to eat gems, so I dig them up to give to Spike, and that spell also came in handy when we rescued her from diamond dogs"
"Diamond dogs?"
"Pretty self-explanatory, they're obsessed with gems"
Lightning chuckled. "Hey come check out this constellation." While Twilight looked through the telescope Lightning just watched her.
"What's this one called?"
"Circunus"
"The drafting compass..."
"Excuse me."
"Oh, sorry. that's what Circunus means."
"Hmm, I didn't know that. How'd you know that?"
"I study a lot"
"The dictionary?"
"Is that weird?"
"No, not at all I've just not met any pony like you." Twilight's face turned red. Twilight backed away from the telescope as Lightning approached it.
It was silent for a while. "By that I mean... No pony really studies as much as you do. Don't take that wrong, that's a good thing. You're very smart." Lightning looked away and Twilight was right next to him, they wound up looking directly into one another's eyes. They both were blushing.
"So... You saved Rarity?"
"Yeah." Lightning didn't say anything back, obviously he found another star that interested him. He backed away and grabbed a book that Twilight keeps next to her telescope.
"You defeated an Ursa Major?"
"Minor, and I didn't 'defeat' it. I just got it back to it's mother." She was obviously embarrassed and was wondering how many ponies knew of that,
Lightning just smiled at her. "Come take a look at this Twilight"
"Hmm what's that?"
"That is Ursa Major."
Twilight was surprised. "Ursa Major is a constellation?"
"Yeah, did you know not that?"
"No, I can't say I did"
Lightning went back to looking at constellations and Twilight sat next to her bed watching him.
"So how did you get rid of the Ursa Minor?"
Twilight told Lightningmoon of the Ursa Minor, and by the end of it he had stopped looking through the telescope and was sitting next to Twilight.
"You had how many layers of aurora? Oh my! That must have been exhausting!"
"It wasn't to bad."
When that conversation ended they jumped from topic to topic.
While they were laughing and talking they heard a small roar. They both jumped and then laughed some more.
"I think we're waking up Spike." Lightning stated.
"It's getting late. Do you think we should get to bed?"
Lightning didn't look to happy. "Probably."
Twilight began looking around, puzzled. "Is everything alright?"
"I didn't plan where you could sleep. Oops!"
"I'll sleep on the floor you can have the bed"
"No I insist you sleep on the bed, you're the guest I don't want to be rude"
"Alright. I'll be waking up early to make breakfast what'll you want?"
"Anything you can make!"
"Alright, thanks for the input!" Twilight said sarcastically.
They both said goodnight. Lightning slept in Twilight's bed and Twilight slept down stairs on a palate she made on the floor.
Zzz...Zzz...Zzz...
Lightning woke up in the middle of the night to noise. Twilight was sleep walking up the stairs, she kept tripping over books that Spike hadn't put away. After tripping over three books. She began using magic in her sleep. She lifted herself up and placed herself in her bed next to Lightningmoon. Lightning hadn't thought much of this and then Twilight scooted closer to him and placed her head in the dip of Lightning's shoulder. Lightning did think much of this. But absolutely nothing bad. He liked it, and he wondered if she was dreaming about him. From what he knew, you only do stuff you're dreaming about. "Maybe she does have feelings for me." Lightning thought to himself, and smiled.
Twilight woke up early that morning like she said she would and made eggs and sausage. When she was done she began picking up all the books and the blankets she hadn't slept on. When she was almost done with breakfast she heard little footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Twilight! Are you here?"
"I'm in the kitchen Spike!"
"Twilight! Who's in your bed!"
"That's Rarity's cousin, you knew they were visitng her"
"I knew of Featherdust not, whoever that is! If he's here to visit Rarity then why is he here. In YOUR bed?"
"I invited him over, Spike it's okay."
Spike began freaking out until the blue stallion came down stairs. "Oh, good morning, I didn't know you guys woke up this early. I would've helped clean up... I'm Lightningmoon." He held a hoof up to Spike. Spike accepted the stallions hoof to hand shake.
"Don't worry you don't need to help clean up. Someone else was supposed to." Twilight looked at Spike with beady eyes and a smile.
Twilight used her magic to make Spike and Lightning a plate then placed it in front of each of them at a table, then made her own plate and carried it over with her.
After breakfast, Spike ran off to run errands and Lightning and Twilight stayed to chat.
"I'm so sorry if I made you uncomfortable last night, I swear I didn't mean to."
"Twilight, it's fine. To be honest I liked it."
"You did?"
Both Twilight and Lightning were blushing by this time. "I did like it, Twilight and I'm not going to deny it to you or any pony else."
Knock-Knock
Twilight went to answer the door but before she answered it, she looked at Lightningmoon and smiled. He smiled back with a wink.
When Twilight answered the door Feather Dust and Rarity were there smiling.
"Good morning, Rarity and Featherdust."
"Lightning we're going to town so Rarity can get new fabrics. Come on!"
"Yeah, hold on I'll catch up. Twilight and I were just talking. I'll be out in a second."
A blue aurora appeared around Lightning's horn as he closed the door.
Lightning ran up to Twilight once the door was shut and kissed her, there lips fit perfectly together. Then they nuzzled and left after a hug. "Twilight?"
Twilight was speechless after he planted one on her, but she managed to get out. "W..What?"
"After shopping with them tonight, could I come pick you up and you could show me around Ponyville?"
"Yes, I would like that." They exchanged smiles and then Lightning went outside to catch up to his sister and Rarity.
"Rarity, would you mind if Twilight and I were to date?"
"Cousin, why would I mind?"
"She's your friend, I didn't want to make you upset."
"Just be good to her, , That's all I can ask."
"what about you sis?"
"Yeah, I'm fine with it" Even if Feather Dust wasn't fine with it she didn't want to make a big deal about it in front of Rarity.
