The kiss was... Heavenly. Sure, with her beak, it was a little odd, well especially with Twilights muzzle. Gilda has to turn her head a little more, open her beak a little. Twilight tried to help out but they ended up just making it harder. Finally they got it, it was still odd yes, but she loved every second. She felt Twilights surprise and sadness soon fade as she closed her eyes with Gilda, wrapping her front legs around her neck. Gilda kept it going for as long as she could, pulling away when their bodies demanded air, a long thick strand of saliva touching from her beak to Twilights. The griffon panted softly as she sat there with Twilight legs around her, staring into her eyes and feeling her cheeks burning beneath her feathers. For a pony, Twilight was really starting to prove extremely awesome, and maybe with this kiss, she'd be awesome enough to... Date.
Gilda shook her head a little as the thought ran through her mind. Twilight was.. Quite the amazing pony... But.. Dating her? Confounded to this tree, forced to watch a library all day? But.. It was home.. Twilights house was comfy, homey, sure it wasn't in the sky, but she had found herself a friend who cared about her and had taken her in, somepony who didn't hate her. The new emotions flooding into her, friendship, love, it all flooded into her. Maybe it was here, in Ponyville with Twilight, that Gilda could re-create herself, to live a good, happy life, not one mooching off friends and placing from place to place? Gilda didn't know if she loved Twilight, love was a new feeling for the both of them but she didn't want to give up on the moment. Swallowing down her fear of being rejected and hated by her only friend, Gilda broke the panting silence.
"Twilight..?"
"Uh.. Y-Yes Gilda?"
"Well.. Perhaps.. The.. Two of us could..-"
"Date?" Twilight asked softly, stealing the words right out of her beak. Gilda nodded as she said that. All the bitterness and anger seemed to seep out of her, somepony had finally loved her. Somepony wanted her around, didn't want to send her off. Twilight was a true, true friend, and now, they were.. Well what were they?
What are we? Marefriends? I'm a griffon though.. Griffon friends? Mare griffon friends? Gilda grumbled lightly, overthinking it clearly. Twilights eyes sparkled as she stared up at Gilda, and Gilda returned the loving stare, softly pecking her cheek. She had never dated somepony, and no offense to Twilight but it looked like she had never dated somepony either. Gilda was about to say something before there was a knock at the door, and she cursed under her breath as the moment was ruined. A soft kiss on the side of her beak quelled her anger as Twilight frowned and trotted towards the door. With the library closed it must've been a friend.

Twilight was still lost in that daze of staring into Gildas eyes. Never had she imagined that the griffon had a crush on her, they barely knew eachother for Celestias sake! But Gilda was changing clearly, and Twilight couldn't deny having a little company with Spike out was certainly very, very nice. Oh spike.. She still had to explain it to him, but for now, she was just a little dazed and wondering who was at the door. Opening it up with her magic, the alicorn was surprised to see her five friends standing at the door, a little angry. Fluttershy had gone back a bit remembering the last time she had crossed paths with Gilda. Rainbow Dash had told them the whole story, give or take a few lies, and they certainly didn't look very happy. "Twilight Darling.. Please let us in.. We need to ah.. Discuss the current situation. By that sweetie me mean Gilda. Rainbow Dash told us everything and you simply can not let the griffon back into Ponyville after what she did!"

Gilda stepped back and hid once more, not wanting to lose her temper, watching as the five friends were let in. She clutched her talons angrily, wanting to go yell at the lame-o Dash for telling everyone about her staying here. How dare she come in and ruin the moment! "Stupid Dash.. She's lucky Twilights around.." She grumbled under her breath. No, No. Gilda wasn't hiding anymore. She walked out right from where she was and sat next to Twilight. To even hint about their now ongoing relationship, the large griffon moved closely against Twilight, giving her a soft peck of the cheek, watching a few of her friends gasp a little at the sudden gesture. Gilda was determined to stay, and she was sure Twilight wouldn't be letting her go.
The others seemed to be speechless as they quickly realized that the two of them were dating. Dash's reaction was a little amusing to Gilda but she wasn't going to show it, boiling with anger and wanting to scream at them all. The clutching of her talons was an obvious sign, and the look she gave the five was nothing but anger right now. So what if she had bad history with Ponyville?! They should still let her stay! Twilight honest was the only cool pony in Ponyville, and that was something. Every other pony in this stupid lame town seemed to be losers. Why couldn't they just go away and let the two of them be together?!
"Look Twilight, we ah.. Well.. We don't think you should date Gilda, Celestia she shouldn't even be here! You know her past with us, poor fluttershy was screamed at by her! She yelled at Pinkie darling, she wanted Dash to bail on us. There's more, though we won't just stack onto the list of horrible things she's done Twilight. Gilda needs to go, she won't be welcome here.. Please Twilight. To you Gilda may be nice, but no one in Ponyville wants her here!"
