The slumber party was ready to start. Pinkie Pie had somehow managed to get Princess Celestia and Luna down from Canterlot to join them, too. Rarity was thrilled. Too often the demands of her schedule and Luna’s affinity for the night kept them apart more than they liked.
When they first arrived, they shared a long hug and many whispers. Twilight didn’t mind. Rarity and Luna were happy together, and it made her smile to see that Rarity finally found her happy ending.
Rarity and Luna had their own ideas, of course. The whispers were much more than simple I-missed-you’s. It was such a simple plan...
The slumber party was in full swing. Applejack brought over 4 cases of Sweet Apple Acres’ Finest. Two bottles remained. Everypony was laughing and swaying slightly in their circle surrounding an empty bottle.
“OK! Next pony who spins gets Seven Minutes in Heaven with whoever it points to!” shouted Rarity as she leaned against Luna’s side. “Twilight, I think it’s your turn.”
Twilight complied and spun the bottle with the tip of her hoof. House rules dictated no magic when spinning. But as Twilight leaned forward, she missed the wink shared between Rarity and Luna.
The bottle spun and spun, and slowed. Twilight swore she saw the faintest aura of blue around it as it stopped in front of Celestia. Instead, her heavy blush and maelstrom of emotions kept her occupied.
“Aha, Celly, off to the closet with you!” Luna chanted. She pushed her sister closer to the door and Rarity did the same for Twilight.
“Excited, dear?” Rarity asked.
“No! Yes! I don’t know!” Twilight huffed. “It’s... it’s Celestia! It’s complicated,” she finished lamely.
“Then uncomplicate things. Go for it.”
Twilight rubbed her foreleg with her hoof and kept glancing at the ground. Celestia sat across from her with her usual stoic smile.
“Twilight, really, there’s nothing to be nervous about. It’s Spin the Bottle, there was always going to be a chance this would happen.”
Twilight looked up with her eyes wide. She threw her hooves in the air. “That doesn’t make it better! Just... I have a tremendous amount of respect for you. It would feel odd to be... like that. I can’t wrap my head around it.”
Celestia chuckled. “Maybe this will help, then.” She leaned forward and pressed her lips gently to Twilight’s. She followed through with a hoof behind Twilight’s head, running through her mane. Twilight’s mumbled protests fell on deaf ears while Celestia pressed on, leaning further and further until Twilight bumped into the wall. Her mumbled protests faded to moans.
They continued lip-locked until the other partiers poked their heads in to check on them. Fluttershy was the first to speak up.
“Um, Twilight? You’ve... been in here for seventeen minutes.”
Twilight’s furious blush coupled with nervous laughter. “Uh, that didn’t feel like seventeen minutes. Time flies, eh?”
