Celestia looked down at Twilight, apprehension clear across her beautiful features. Her student had requested an audience with her in the Royal Gardens during midday. She had to come alone, no guards, and most definitely no Luna. It was a secret rendezvous and that scared her quite a bit.
“How do I put this?” Twilight said brows furrowing together. Celestia cocked her head to the side, ear twitching impatiently. “Okay, you can do this Sparkle.”
“My most faithful student, is there something the matter?” the princess dared to asked.
The purple alicorn nodded her head meekly and took in a deep calming breath. “Celestia, you know how happy I am being your student right?”
“Yes?” A lump formed in the white mare’s throat. She was scared.
“I’ve been thinking for some time now,” Twilight looked up at the worried princess, “I love being by your side even if there isn’t a lesson to be learned. And of all the mysterious wonders in the world you are the most enigmatic. I want to learn more about you and I can’t do that being just your student or a fellow princess…”
“What are you suggesting then?” Celestia wasn’t sure she liked the direction the conversation was going. It thrilled her to be hearing these words, she had dreamed about them for countless moons, but it was only curiosity that fed the flames of her infatuation and nothing more.
Twilight paced back and forth trying to remember the speech she had no problem reciting in the comforts of her home. The princess was there, in front of her, waiting.
“I had this all planned out… curse this alexithymia!” she grumbled. “I want to see Celestia without all the foofaraw.”
“Foofawhat?” the princess blinked unsure of the awkward word. Twilight was bring out the big words which only meant something big and problematic is in the works.
“Oh horseapples now I’m suffering from logorrhea!” The smaller mare threw her hooves up into the air and fell to the ground sniffling. “Celestia, I--”
A hearty chuckle rumbled through Celestia as she sat down to face Twilight. A light blush graced her cheeks when she met her former student’s gaze. “Twilight Sparkle, I expect a dictionary for our first month anniversary. Nothing more, nothing else. Understood?”
“Huh?” Twilight gawked.
“Hm?”
“Um, what just happened?”
“I believe I just accepted your request to court me.” Celestia continued to laugh. “At first I considered declining, but how can I say no to a pony who says she has a case of logorrhea?”
The goofy grin on Twilight’s face widened, a wave of relief washing over her. “Phew, that was easier than I thought.”
“I suppose so,” Celestia replied. “What do you suggest we do now?”
A lavender muzzle brushed against Celestia’s coyly. “Well I’m feeling rather concupiscent…” Twilight said through half lidded eyes.
“What?”
