The next morning, I woke up to find that Twilight wasn't lying next to me. She must have been downstairs. I walked out of the room and walked downstairs, Twilight was sitting next to where Fluttershy was laying. She was reading a book.
"Hey, Twilight, what's going on?"
She turned to me and set the book down. "Oh, good morning, Violet. I was just keeping an eye on Fluttershy. She hasn't moved since last night. And I've been worried."
I walked over to where Fluttershy was laying. I looked down at her and began stroking her mane lightly. She was a very pretty mare. I began to feel her stir under my hoof. Slowly she opened her eyes. She looked up at me, then at Twilight. "Twilight? What's going on? How did I get here?"
I moved away so Twilight could talk. "You were attacked last night, Fluttershy. And Violet," she said, motioning to me, "saved you and brought you here."
Fluttershy looked up at me and tried to stand up. She took a few steps and stumbled. I caught her and helped her back up. "Thank you, Violet. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here." She said, hugging me in a friendly embrace.
I helped her lay back down so she could rest a bit. "You're welcome, Fluttershy. I'd do it for anypony."
She simply played her head back and smiled. She had a pretty smile, too. She closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
Twilight was already walking back to her room. "I'm going back to bed, Violet. I've been up with Fluttershy for a while."
"No problem, Twilight. I'll watch her."
"Thank you, Violet."
"No problem, Twilight."
She walked back to the room, leaving me with Fluttershy.
I sat with her for a few minutes until my brother walked into the room.
"Good morning, brother. What's up?" I asked him.
"Not much, just need to talk to you for a moment." He turned around and walked into the hallway.
"Okay?"
I followed him to the hallway. Then turned to him, "What is it, Sherbert? I'm in the middle of something."
"Oh, nothing. Just want to ask you how your relationship is going." He said with a sarcastic grin on his face.
"Ok, first, fine. Second, how in the name of Celestia did you find out about this?"
"That's for me to know, and you to never find out, big sis."
I was so mad at him. I could've played him out where he stood.
I leaned up to his ear, and whispered, "You're going to tell me, or you will regret keeping this a secret."
He simply smiled at me. "You may be older, big sis, but I think we both know I would beat you."
I gave him an evil grin. "Is that a challenge?"
"Hm, I guess it is. But I know you don't stand a cha-"
He was cut off by me talking him, and pinning him to the ground with ease. "You were saying?"
He gave me an angry look. "That was a cheap shot."
"Would it make a difference?"
He answered with a strong kick to my stomach, throwing me into a nearby wall.
"Oh. It. Is. On." I threw myself into him, tackling him again, he rolled over, trying to pin me. We continued this cycle a few times. I threw him off of me, he nearly flew through the window.
He got up, panting, as was I.
"Give up yet?" I asked him.
"Nope, you?"
"Nope."
I threw myself at him again but was stopped mid-air.
"What the hay?"
My brother looked at me with a smirk on his face. "I swear I'm not doing this."
"I did." I heard a voice from behind me.
It was Twilight. She threw me to the wall and held me there by my wings with her magic. I tried to move but couldn't. I gave up, it was useless trying to escape.
She picked up my brother and threw him against the opposite wall. Pinning him by his hooves.
"What's with all the commotion, why are you two fighting?" She asked, anger in her voice.
I sighed, "Somehow he knows about... us. I was trying to get him to tell me how he knows."
She turned to him, anger still in her voice. "Tell me how you know, Sherbert, or you will be on your own from now on."
He put on his usual smirk. "You think that you can beat me?"
"Obviously, you're pinned to the wall, and you can't move."
He struggled for a moment under her grip. "Uh... Good point. Fine, I'll tell you. Soon after I started to stay here, Vinyl and Octavia told me that you and my sister were together. But she was drunk so I didn't believe her. But I decided to ask her myself. So I confronted her and asked her, but she denied it. But I could tell she was lying because she was blushing the whole time. So now, I know you're secret."
Twilight seemed to relax a bit. "So it was Vinyl and Octavia. Well we'll need to confront them to find the truth- wait, did you say she was drunk?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Because there is no alcohol in this place, so that means they must have gotten it from the outside."
"Well, I guess we need to see what they've been doing."
We walked to their room, only to find that the door was locked. Twilight knocked on the door. "Vinyl, Octavia? We need to talk to you."
There was no answer, and there was no noise coming from the inside. "Okay everypony, stand back." Twilight warned.
We did as she said just before she ripped the door open with her magic. What we saw was surprising. They weren't in the room, and worse, the window was wide open.
"I'll go search for them, I have a feeling I know where they went." I suggested. I was confident I knew where they went.
"Go," Twilight said. "But be careful." She planted a soft kiss on my cheek. I blushed a bit.
"Awww, you two are together." I heard my brother say when I turned around. Just before I took off, I grabbed my bow and prepared to go. Just before I did I heard a loud slap from behind me. I turned to find my brother holding his cheek, Twilight clearly slapped him. "Never mention this to anypony." She said to him. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ok guys, I'll be back when I find them." I said, interrupting them.
"Ok, be careful." They both said to me.
"I will, don't worry."
I tuned toward the window and took off. I was going to find these two, and the truth with them.
