Her mind only half awake noted that they weren’t as soft as they should be. She slowly cracked open an eye as the scent of wood and books filled her nose. She blinked a blush coloring her royal cheeks as she remembered the night before. With a smile she slowly sat up as she realized Twilight was no longer in the bed. Cadance smiled stepping onto the cold wood floor of the library. She slowly crept downstairs. As she followed the curve of the stairs she caught sight of her fiancee. Her breath caught in her throat as she watched Twilight. The young woman stood in the center of the room. All the objects moved aside. Twilight’s dark skin was lit with an inner fire. Her hair pulled up into a severe bun to keep it out of the way. She turned slowly bringing her hand out energy crackling down her forearm as she formed a sphere of purple energy in the palm of her hand. She moved it in a gentle motion. It rolled around her hand before being passed to the other hand. Cadance gasped as she caught sight of Twilight’s eyes, the normal violet replaced by solid white as she channeled magic. Reaching out with her own magic Cadance brushed against Twilight feeling the power she was channeling from the Ley Line below the library. Twilight smiled a gentle tingle moved up Cadance’s arm as Twilight returned the gesture. The younger woman turned and smiled, the crystal heart pendant she wore was also alight with magical energies. Twilight’s jaw dropped as she caught Cadance in her Sight. Cadance appeared to Twilight as a font of pure energy. Human in shape, but nearly perfect in form. Wings spread from her back nearly twice the length they did in the normal world. Atop her brow sat a glowing pink heart crown. Twilight reached out and gently brushed her fingers down Cadance’s arm. “You’re amazing..” She said her voice full of awe. Cadance blushed, though such subtleties were lost in the Sight. Swallowing Cadance focused and opened her own eyes to See. She nearly stumbled back from her love. Cadance stepped forward and reached out cupping Twilight’s cheek. She leaned in kissing the nascent Goddess she saw before her. “Twilight, if only you could see yourself..” Cadance whispered in return leaning in and kissing Twilight as passionately as she had the night before. Both women blinked blinded slightly by the close contact with each other with the eyes Open. Twilight rubbed her eyes and blushed faintly. “I’m sorry I left the bed. I was just so nervous and I didn’t want to wake you. Last night was just..” She stammered as she blinked away the spots in her vision. “Its alright, really I was more worried you were regretting it..” Cadance replied, her own vision still whited out. Though, she had a few years more practice and easily glanced to where Twilight was standing. “Never! I wanted that, a..after facing down and angry Demi-Goddess I think I needed to know we were..umm” Twilight blushed and smiling. “I was scared and then you were there. I wanted to never let you go and..” “And we made thank god you’re not dead love?” Cadance tried to look angry, but completely failed instead giggling into her hand “Glad to know our first time was something special..” She stepped forward able to see the vague outline of Twilight. She reached out placing a hand on the younger woman’s shoulder and leaning in to kiss her forehead gently. “I was worried sick when the Sun didn’t rise. Then Aunty Celestia returned and dragged me to the middle of nowhere, I thought the worst had happened. To see you and the girls. I’ve never been so relieved. I love you with all my heart Twilight.” Cadance said “I love you too Princess Mi Amore Cadenza” Twilight responded her well thought out placating and knee jerk back tracking thrown off by those words. She glanced around “I was just nervous and full of energy. I didn’t want to wake you though, so...I came down here. I figured I’d check it out since..umm I’m staying and all. I’d just found the Ley Line when you came downstairs.” “I see, when all else fails you know Magic” Cadance smiled and hugged Twilight to herself “I’m not worried about you staying. I think Ponyville will do wonders for you. It’ll be nice to visit you away from Canterlot. I can swing by on weekends and spend time with you. We’ll be okay with a little distance. I can fly, you can teleport..” Cadance’s grin grew as her visioned finally returned fully. “I do have one question though” “What?” Twilight looked up at Cadance with innocent eyes. “Where’s Spike?” The taller woman asked with a smirk. Twilight’s eyes bugged out and she glanced around. “Crap!” Twilight cursed glancing around. She pulled from Cadance’s arms storming out the front door in her tank top and sweat pants. “SPIKE!!!” Her yells echoed through the morning air of the small town. Cadance just giggled into her hand at the sight. She turned heading upstairs to get dressed. She had more than enough time to pick up Spike from Rarity’s before Twilight made it that far into town.
