Twilight shifted uncomfortably on her mushroom seat, tail swishing back and forth impatiently. She was meeting Fluttershy for brunch, but that was only a ruse to lure the yellow pegasus out from hiding.
In the distance Twilight’s eyes spotted the pegasus trotting towards her. Apprehension gnawed on the purple princess’ conscience as her friend drew closer and closer. Celestia had requested her to carry this mission out personally, the reward for success was something she couldn’t turn down.
“Hi Twilight!” Fluttershy greeted her friend as she took the seat across her. “I am so happy you found some time to have brunch with me.”
“Hehe, yea… sorry, I’ve been so busy lately.”
“But are you sure you want to spend what little free time you have with me?” the shy mare asked feeling guilty.
“Actually about that,” Twilight began, “I’m actually here on royal business…”
Fluttershy’s face fell, “Oh...”
“Celestia believes you’re the perfect pony for the job.” Twilight tried to explain, but Fluttershy’s face didn’t perk up. “She requested you personally.”
“But I’m no pony special, Princess Celestia can find somepony better.” she replied while feeling flattered the princess asked for her.
The reward was slowly slipping away from Twilight’s grasp. Desperation set in and Twilight did the one thing she was told not to do at all costs.
“LUNA HAS A CRUSH ON YOU!” Twilight slapped both forehooves to cover her lips. The two friends stared at each other wide eyed. “I am so sorry I didn’t mean to say that.”
“Princess Luna has a…” Fluttershy swallowed the lump forming in her throat. “What exactly are you here for, Twilight?”
“Celestia wants you to join us on a double date with Luna. I wasn’t supposed to say anything and it was supposed to be all natural between you two...”
“Alright.”
“You’ll do it?”
“Yeah. A double date with both princesses and my best friend... sounds like fun.”
