Rising Sun (Part 1)

Twilight's eyes fluttered open as Celestia's sun lit up the room. As she opened her eyes, the wall infront of her was not one she reconized. Where her mirror would be, there was a fireplace. Not to mention the walls were a different color. Twilight started to panic, fearing that somepony had ponynapped her, when something soft nuzzled into her side. She turned her head to see Fluttershy curled up next to her. Twilght felt herself begining to blush. She was torn between moving away from this slightly embarrassing situation and letting the beautiful mare keep sleeping peacefully at her side. As Twilight pondered this, she remebered Spike, who was probably just waking up at home wondering where she was. Twilight got off the couch when she heard a noise behind her. Turning around she saw the timid pegasus looking at her shock in her eyes. Fluttershy started to blush, which made Twilight think of how cute that looked. They both began to stare at one another, the tension so thick that it could be cut with a knife. Eventually Fluttershy spoke.

"Um thank you Twilight, it means a lot to me that you were um there for me." She stammered out. Twilight looked at the mare for a quick second before regaining her train of thought.

"Its no problem Fluttershy. I am sorry that I woke you though. I just need to get back home. Spike didn't know about my trip out here, so he'll probably be worried." Twilight replied.

"Twilight, could you not tell anypony about this, if that's ok with you. I really don't want the others to worry" Fluttershy said quietly.

"Sure thing Fluttershy. I won't tell a soul." Twilight told the pastel mare. Smiling she began to head out the door when she felt a pair hooves wrapped around her. Looking back she saw Fluttershy hugging her, a smile on her face.

"Thank you Twilight." Fluttershy whispered. They stayed there for a moment before Fluttershy let go, both of the ponies missing the warmth that the other brought. Silently Twilight made her way back towards town.

As Twilight walked back towards Ponyvile, her mind began to wander. Her thoughts constantly goingvback to the sight she had seen this moening. She thought about how right it felt, how happy it made her. She then began to think about the pegasus herself. How sweet and caring she was, but how she could be strong when she needed. The more Twilight thought of the mare, the faster her heart beat. As Twilight was walking, lost in thought, Rainbow Dash flew overhead. She had been clearing the skies when she saw Twilight. Slowly she flew down in front of the unicorn. As she landed infront of Twilight, the unicorn was so lost in thought that she walked strait into Rainbow Dash's flank. After recovering from the embarrassing collision, Twilight looked at the cyan pegasus.

"Geez Twi, you've got to watch where your going. What could possible have you so distracted that you ran right into me, unless you meant to. Cuz I know I'm amazing, but I don't fly that way." Said Rainbow Dash in her usual boasterous tone. Twilight just stood there for a moment, figuring out exactly what just happened before blushing.

"Whoops, sorry Rainbow, I guess I wasn't looking where I was going. I just have a lot on my mind." Twilight said before blushing again at the thought of Fluttershy. This blush did not escape the notice of the pegasus.

"So who's the lucky stallion?" Questioned the cyan mare. The question caught Twilight off guard, causing her to start to panic, worried that her secret would be spilled.
