//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: She Knows How To Treat A Lady // by MysteriousStranger //------------------------------// Two days after the picnic. Rarity brought Trixie to a playground when the moon took its place in the sky with the stars. It was something that certain magician pony questioned. “I told you I would tell you once we get here.” Rarity answered. “Well, we are here so, do you mind to tell me why you brought me to this playground at night?” “I suppose that I can tell you now. Trixie-Bu, I have been thinking. You told me that your brother died when you were a filly and you ran away shortly after, right?” “Yes, So…?” “So… I realized that you never had a proper childhood. It ended long before it should have.” “What’s your point, Rarity?” The fancy Unicorn smiled sympathetically. “I want you to use the swing one last time to give your childhood a proper end.” “What? But, I can’t get on one of those now, I’m a grown up mare! What if anypony sees me?” “That’s why I waited until now. Everypony is asleep so you won’t be seen.” “You won’t let it go until I do it, won’t you?” Rarity shook her head, still smiling. “Fine,” Trixie said after sighing. “I’ll do it. But, if anypony sees me…!” “Nopony will. Trust me.” Trixie walked over to the nearest swing and sat down. She prepared to push herself when she felt Rarity’s hooves on her back. “Are you ready, my darling?” “I guess so…” Rarity pushed her and Trixie moved. The fashionista pushed her marefriend again to gain altitude. Every time Rarity pushed her, Trixie got slightly higher. It didn’t take long for Trixie to smile; enjoying the ride. “Higher, I want to go higher!” “Then you’ll go higher!” Trixie was on the swing for fifteen minutes before putting her rear legs on the grounds. “Had enough?” “Yes.” The blue Unicorn was smiling. She then hugged Rarity. “Thank you, Rarity. I needed to close that chapter of my life. You’re the best marefriend anypony could ask for!” “I’m glad that I did something good. Come on, let’s go to my place.” “Your place?” “Yes. I want you to stay to sleep with me. Is that okay?” “Absolutely! I just thought I didn’t hear well. You know I wouldn’t reject such request, beautiful.” The white pony smiled and kissed Trixie on one of her cheeks. “Let’s go.” They intertwined tails and walked to Carousel Boutique. They walked a bit fast because it was starting to get cold. Once they arrived, they wasted no time and walked upstairs, to Rarity’s bedroom. Once in, Trixie waited until Rarity got on the bed and asked her to join her. When Trixie got herself covered with the sheets, Rarity quickly embraced her and laid her head on Trixie’s chest. “No good night kiss?” Trixie protested. “Oh, of course!” Rarity raised her head and planted her lips on Trixie’s before laying her head on her marefriend’s chest again. “Good night, Trixie-Bu.” “Good night, my lady. "And, thank you for helping me to finish the order for my important client." “You’re most welcome.” With that said, it didn’t take long for the couple to find joyful dreams. Both holding each other close, there was nothing that could remove their smiles as they slept. *** Meanwhile, Twilight was spending the night with Fluttershy since Spike was summoned by Princess Celestia for a few days. They just had dinner and they were snuggling on the floor by the fireplace. “Thank you for coming, Twi.” “I wouldn’t refuse an invitation from you.” Twilight, then, looked deeply into Fluttershy’s eyes and kissed her passionately. “What was that for?” “Do I need a reason?” “I guess not.” They kissed again, and again. Their kisses became longer each time. Twilight caressed Fluttershy’s hair as she did so and Fluttershy held her closer. Twilight smirked and pulled away after a while. “Let’s go to bed.” “Why? Are you tired?” “No. I think we are ready for the next level.” “R-Really? Twilight, I don’t know...” “Do you love me, Fluttershy?” “I do, Twilight, I love you so much...” “Then, what is the problem? If you get too nervous, nopony will know, just me. And I won’t tell.” The Pegasus thought for a few moments before slowly nodding. They went upstairs and moved their relationship to the next level. They both were extremely glad to finally have done it. Twilight did feel opportunity to do it before that night, but she chickened out. Now, thanks to Rarity, she finally had the courage to make the move. She would later think of a way to thank her friend, but, for now, she wanted to only focus on the mare sleeping on her chest with a smile on her face.
