Author: The Princess Rarity


Prompt: Heartbreak





It was for the better.

Really, it was.

It just wasn't meant to be.

Something had happened. Nothing that would change anything, though. It was only a little slip-up. A minor mistake. Nothing more, nothing less. It wasn't anything too crucial.

That's what Pinkie Pie kept telling herself, anyway.

Twilight Sparkle was a Princess now.

She deserved so much better.

What had happened months ago - it was just...

It wasn't nothing.

It was something.

But it didn't matter now - what's passed was past.

Although, Pinkie could remember that night as if it was only a few days ago, the memory of it all still fresh inside her energetic mind, and she could easily admit it was one of her most favorite moments in anything that had ever happened to her.

It was almost like a dream... and now, that's what she was considering. Perhaps that's all it ever was.

"I'm sorry," Twilight sobbed, as she buried her face into the party pony's blinding pink coat. "but I didn't know who else to turn to. I just... I'm so lost, Pinkie."

With a light giggle, Pinkie smothered her friend into a tight hug and let out a sigh, shaking her head. "There's no reason to be upset, Twilight," she trilled. "It's ok - remember, if anypony can make you smile, it's me!"

"I know," the alicorn whimpered. "That's why you were the first one who popped in my head when I thought of somepony to cheer me up. I... I don't know if I can take it anymore - being a Princess. It's too frustrating."

"Well, why don't you ask Celestia for help?" Pinkie murmured. "After all, she's been a Princess forever!"

"I couldn't." Twilight declared, as she let out a light sniffle. "I can't say this to her, it would be letting her down and..." She looked up - her lavender eyes meeting Pinkie Pie's brilliant periwinkle ones, and in an instant, their lips met in a ferocious kiss, one that was passionate yet sweet and soft. Cautious, yet caring. Simple, yet on the edge.

-xoxo-

Twilight had stayed over for the rest of the night, and the two of them had talked, and kissed, and cuddled, contemplating what would be next for the new Princess's role.

...and after that evening, nothing like that ever happened again.

Pinkie oh-so-badly wanted to bring it up, but... when she would notice how happy Twilight was with that new Flash Sentry guard, well... She didn't have a Pinkie Sense regarding love, but if she did, she knew it would involve making Twilight happy - no matter what.
