Maddie opened the door to her and Vanessa's house, the house was bright, warm and welcoming when she entered. The door to the main room was open and she could see Vanessa sat down in the main room. All the spiders were in their cages from what she could tell and Vanessa looked happy. Maddie magically moved the her bags into the kitchen and entered the main room and sat down next her to sofa. Vanessa nudged up to Maddie and wrapped one of her wings around her and pulled her in close. Maddie gently pulled herself in and sighed happily. A silence overtook the two and they were sat in bliss.
After what seemed like hours, but was only five minutes Maddie broke the silence. "Vanessa." Maddie waited for Vanessa to turn and face her before she went on. "I know, you know I have had other loves." A nod came from Vanessa and Maddie went on. "Please don't feel pressured to do anything that you wouldn't normally do..." Maddie felt horrible asking Vanessa thing, Maddie felt Vanessa tighten her wing. "I..." Maddie started but was interrupted by Vanessa hushing her.
Vanessa didn't speak, she just held Maddie close to her and remained silent. Maddie started to grow worried when Vanessa refused to let her move. It wasn't painful, but uncomfortable for Maddie. As Maddie tried to wriggle free Vanessa sighed. Vanessa loosened her grip and allowed Maddie to break out. "Vanessa what has gotten into you?" Maddie questioned. Vanessa shook her head and sighed.
"Maddie, I love you. I truly do. But I need your help. You need to tell me if I am doing anything wrong, or anything that makes you uncomfortable." Vanessa looked out into space and glanced out the window. "Like then. I was dong something wrong but you didn't say anything. You need to tell me when I am doing wrong. I haven't done this before... I need your help! Please Maddie!"
"Alright Vanessa, I think I understand what you want." Maddie cuddled back up to Vanessa. "But Vanessa I need to you to do something. You need to trust me on this, and if at any point you want me leave you can tell me." Maddie tried to sound comforting, but a slight tinge of fear was able to seep through. Vanessa looked slightly worried, however she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Alright Maddie. I trust you." Vanessa kept her eyes closed for a few more moments. "What do you want me to do?" Vanessa said as she opened her eyes.
"I just need you to stand up for me. I also need you to not do anything." Maddie quickly noted a slightly worried expression on Vanessa. "Don't worry, trust me." Vanessa relaxed and took another deep breath. Maddie moved up to her and gently took a hold of her back and started to pull her backwards. After a few moments Vanessa was tilted backwards and Maddie was leaning over her.
"M-Maddie?" Vanessa questioned as Maddie quickly closed the gap and quickly sealed their lips. Maddie sighed happily through her closed lips and Vanessa didn't jerk away instantly, so Maddie's plan was working well. Maddie took in the strange soft texture of Vanessa's lips. Maddie was no stranger to kissing mares, but Vanessa's lips had strange silky texture to them that she had not felt before. After a few moments Maddie pulled the pair of them back up and let go of Vanessa and pulled away from her. Vanessa looked slightly dumbstruck so Maddie had to pick up the slack.
"Vanessa? Are you alright?" Maddie didn't really have any idea what to say. However Vanessa remained stubbornly silent with a shocked look. "Vanessa?" Maddie paused for a moment and thought about what she could do. In the end she decided to re lock her lips with Vanessa. After a moment kissing Maddie pulled away from Vanessa again. This time Vanessa seemed to be in reality.
"Maddie, you just kissed me. Twice." Vanessa stated the obvious as she tried to figure out what happened. "Maddie..." Vanessa looked away from Maddie for a brief moment, filling Maddie with worry. Maddie decided she would try and fix things before they got out of hand.
"Vanessa, I am sorry. I really am, I though you were..." Maddie searched her head, but could not find the right words. Maddie ended up grumbling and then sighing. "If you want me to go, I will."
"Yes... I think that would be best. I just need to think about some things." Vanessa sighed as Maddie left the house quietly.
Vanessa sat down on the sofa, her house was quiet save her shallow breathing. Vanessa tried to figure out what had happened, why she had gotten upset and why Maddie did what she did. Its because she loves you Vanessa. Why else would she kiss you? You spent this whole day talking to Cloudkicker about what you will do, only to kick her out when she shows clear signs of loving you. Vanessa sighed and shook her head. Maybe I shouldn't of sent Maddie away... This is too much...
Maddie arrived outside Rarities, while it was getting late the shop was still open. Maddie slowly pushed the door open and walked into the shop for the second time. Rarity was once again working on a dress and didn't notice Maddie walk in.
"Hey Rarity, do you have a moment?" Maddie tried to sound happy, but she was terrible at hiding her true emotions. Rarity caught on and stopped sowing.
"Maddie? What are you doing over at this time? Is something on your mind?" Rarity asked as she walked over to Maddie.
"Just... Well I can say I tried at least..." Maddie sighed.
"Oh Maddie... What happened?" Rarity gave Maddie a comforting hug.
"She just... Asked me to leave." Maddie stated. "She was a bit shocked and then she asked me to leave."
"Maddie are you alright? You seem to be rather calm about this." Rarity pointed out.
"Its not anything that hasn't happened before. I'm used to it..." Maddie sighed and glared at the floor. "I don't cry, but the pain is still there."
"I don't know what you could do Maddie... You could try and salvage it, but that might not be such a good idea." Rarity sighed. "You could move on, but that might not be the best of things to do."
"I need to go back at some point to get my stuff back. I will see what Vanessa is like then, but I don't know what she will be like." Maddie said in return. "Thanks for being here for me Rarity."
"Think nothing of it darling, you are welcome to stay here for a few nights if the need arises." Rarity said happily.
"I think I might have to for a few nights Rarity..." Maddie sighed and Rarity nodded and started setting up the sofa for a pony to sleep on.
