Apparently Daring was going to find aliens in this one and the villain was a unicorn stallion with mastery of mental magics, sounded like an awesome adventure to her! However, her fangirling was interupted by the sight of Twilight Sparkle. Sitting at her desk, not surrounded by piles of books as usual, with a single tome lying on it's surface. Unopened. THERE WAS A BOOK IN FRONT OF TWILIGHT, AND SHE WASN'T READING IT. This was serious. "Uh, Twi? You okay?" Twilight turned to face Rainbow, a small smile appearing on her face. "Oh, hi Rainbow! I just got your book in, it's sitting right on my desk-" "It can wait. What's wrong, Twilight?" Twilight turned away, pretending to examine on of her shelves of books. "Nothing's wrong, Rainbow, I just..." Twilight trailed off as Rainbow put her wing around her in a hug, pulling her close. "Twi, please tell me." Twilight was silent for a moment, but Twilight couldn't keep her emotions inside any longer. She sighed sadly, head drooping. "I... Rainbow, does Lero really want a relationship with me?" Rainbow had a feeling this was coming, Lero always had long conversations with Twilight and they would campare theories and would even trade insights on philosophy(Almost none of things could Eainbow half understand), but their 'physical relationship' hadn't gone past goodnight kisses. Rainbow tried to explain to Lero he was giving mixed signals, but he either hadn't understood what she meant or was still confused on what he wanted himself. He and Twilight would have great chemistry on a date, they'd even flirt with eachother a bit(Mostly Twilight), but all the dates had ended the same: a distinct lack of action. Rainbow was sure there was a classier way of putting it, but she didn't care. "Twilight, I know Lero is being a little... hard to read but he does like you, I know that much." "Then why... I mean... am I just not that attractive?" "Wha-? No! That is not the problem! Hay, look at my scrawny flank and he loves me just fine." Rainbow leaned against Twilight, pressing the side of her head agains the purple unicorn's in an attempt to comfort her. She was happy to feel the unicorn relax slightly. "Twilight, maybe... maybe Lero's uncertain, because you're uncertain." The purple mare turned to Rainbow, blinking owlishly(A rather good impression of her pet). "Huh?" "I mean when you go into your 'Lecturing Egghead Mode', you're all sorts of confident, but when you start to put the moves on Lero..." Twilight finished for her. "I act like school filly trying to ask a boy to dance? Yeah, I know. I'm pathetic." Rainbow raised her wing, and gave a light smack to the back of Twilight's head, a dissaproviong look on the rainbow-maned pony's face. "No. Wrong attitude, and just plain uncorrect!" Twilight rubbed the back of her head. "Incorrect." "Whatever! My point is that you have nothing to be worried about, but you worry anyway, and I think Lero is picking up on it and it's making him worry. What you need to do is act with confidence, to not overthink everything, and go with your instincts!" "So, I should be like you?" "No, I mean you should...wait... actually, yes. You should be like me." I smile spread over her face, a mischevious one that she usually only broke out when a prank of some sort was about to occur. Twilight couldn't help but feel worried about this. "I have a plan. How good are you at illusions?" --- Lero whistled quietly to himself as he stepped into his home, another day of rewarding work complete. Lero really did enjoy helping out around town, even if his job as a masseuse paid better. He enjoyed the feeling of knowing that he'd helped improve somepony's day. Also, when he was acting as a handyman, mares almost never offered to pay extra for a 'happy ending'. Almost. Lero decided to take a shower, and as he began to walk into his bedroom he heard a familiar giggle. A smile crept over his face. "Rainbow that you?" "Yep!""Uh-huh!" Lero blinked. Shrugging, Lero pushed open his bedroom door... to find two Rainbow Dashs sitting on his bed, smirking at the confused human. Double Rainbow Dash? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?! "Oh, come on in, Lero!" One Rainbow Dash fluttered her eyelashes as the other licked her lips. "The water's fine." Sex. Sex is what it means. "Um, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this." "Lero, we get it. You feel like being with Twilight is unfaithful to Rainbow, and you're nervous." "To help you relax and realise you can love both, we'll both be Rainbow tonight!" Lero hesitated, but realised that these two had put in a pretty good effort to do this, just to make him feel comfortable. So, Lero sat onto his bed, a Rainbow Dash on either side of him. And then they had sex. (Alternate Ending) Lero lay in his bed, a Rainbow Dash on either side of him, feeling sweaty, sticky and satisfied. As he held either pony to his sides he felt a closeness to them both, a trust that he'd had for Rainbow but now he realised he hadn't with Twilight. And then Twilight barged into the bedroom door. "I'm so sorry Rainbow, I couldn't figure out the spel- WHAT THE HAY?!" A moment of confusion as the Rainbow Dash on his left suddenly leapt from the bed. "Twilight?! But if You're Twilight, then who-" The Rainbow Dash on Lero's right leapt into the air, and transformed in a flash of green flames. Queen Chrysalis laughed evily, casting a perverse grin at Lero. "Thanks for the sex, slut! Changeling rule, ponies drool!" With that, the bizarre creature flew out the open window. Twilight stared with horror, Rainbow trembled with barely restrained disgust and anger, and Lero just sat in bed staring blankly at the window, before speaking his thoughts. "What." Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash trotted towards Lero's house. Lero wouldn't be home, but the two wanted to suprise him with dinner when he returned from his current odd job. Twilight couldn't help but smile as she remembered her first date with Lero and Dash, and her smile widened as she remebered her first time with Lero and Dash(Mostly Lero). She had honestly thought Rainbow Dash was exaggerating when she told her about her and Lero's bedroom adventures. Turns out she hadn't. And she was suprised that it almost felt like she was back in her first herd in a way, that feeling of closeness and love she remembered had returned and more, despite the obvious differences. Although it was a bit of a small herd, with only two mares. In fact... "Rainbow?" The multi-chromatic pegasus turned to Twilight. "Yeah, Twi?" "I was thinking-" "You're always thinking, egghead!" Twilight gave Rainbow a playful shove. "Oh, hush! I was thinking, while it has been nice with you and Lero, don't you think we should... have more?" Twilight cursed her inability to properly articulate her thoughts, she was so vauge and hesitant that there was no way Rainbow Dash would understand! "Yeah, I guess it is wierd to only have two mares in a herd." ...Oh... Rainbow Dash sighed and cotinued. "But Lero is still uneasy about this, just look how long it took him to get used to you! We need to go slow with this, another fillyfriend would probably be too much for him right now." "Girlfriend." "Huh?" Twilight smiled at Rainbow, taking on her 'lecture mode' tone of voice. "The Politically Correct term is girlfriend, because fillyfriend encourages an anti-interspecies view on relationships." Rainbow Dash just rolled her eyes, wondering who exactly had a problem with 'fillyfriend' or 'coltfriend'. Dash then shrugged as she turned back to Twilight. "Besides, I'm not even sure I know any mares I'd want to join this herd." Twilight 'Hmmm'ed softly to herself. "Pinkie Pie?" "Nah, Lero made it clear that she isn't the type of mare he wants in a relationship." "Yes, I can understand that... how about Lyra? She's pretty, and she gets along great with Lero!" "Um... I'm not so sure about Lyra... plus, if she joins then Bon-Bon would have to join too." Twilight blinks, then nods as she took an expression of contemplation. "Oh, right... I don't like Bon-Bon very much." "Yeah, she can be kind of a jerk sometimes." Twilight was now in deep thought, before a smile spreads over her face. "Oh, duh! We should ask Fluttershy if she-" "No." Twilight stared at Rainbow's face for a moment, puzzlement apparent on her purple features. Rainbow did not look at her, though, keeping her eyes on Lero's house as they neared. "Why not?" "You don't know Fluttershy like I do, Twilight. Trust me." Twilight's horn lit up as she opened the door, following after Rainbow as they entered Lero's home. Twilight closed the door, and followed after Rainbow as she went towards the back, where the laudry room was. They had planned to also do Lero's laundry for him so he didn't have anything to do when he returned. "What could I not know about Fluttershy that would make you say no so quickly? She's the gentlest, sweetest, kindest pony in Ponyville!" Rainbow would have replied but both mares were struck silent when they entered the laundry room to find a familiar butter-yellow flank sticking out of the dirty laundry hamper, a noticably stiff pair of wings jutting out above, and a quiet sound of rapid inhalation. Twilight couldn't help but voice her thoughts. "Fluttershy, are you sniffing Lero's dirty clothes?!" The yellow flank, adorned with three butterflies, had been swaying back and forth until the unicorn had spoken, at which it had frozen. Slowly, the shy pegasus pulled herself out of the hamper. With a set of boxers in her teeth. "... This... I-it's not what it l-looks like!" Rainbow just covered her eyes with a foreleg and sighed. "Fluttershy, we both know I've caught you doing worse. Just go." The meek pegasus pony quickly turned to leave, muttering a soft apology as she attempted to squeeze by Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. Rainbow quickly stuck out her foreleg to block Fluttershy's exit and gave the mare an annoyed look. "Leave the underpants." Fluttershy laughed nervously as she dropped the boxers, and then flew out of the house as quickly as possible. Now that Rainbow and Twilight were left alone, a rather awkward silence ensued. "...So... no Fluttershy." "Yeah, no Fluttershy. She can be creepy."
