The creature advanced slowly upon her prey, the pegasus in front of her, hopelessly ignorant of it as it continued to creep slowly towards her, its eyes fixed upon a point just above Rainbow Dash’s neck.
Closer and closer it crept, its target now clear as the creature grew nearer and nearer.
Suddenly, Rainbow Dash yawned, throwing her legs skywards as she stretched, leaning her head back to an encore of small cracking and creaking noises, causing the creature to freeze completely.
The pegasus opened her sleepy eyes and looked straight at the creature.
“Mor- Morning Twi’.” She said, yawning.
The creature sighed, standing up. “Hey Dash.”
The creature, now revealed to be Twilight Sparkle, looked at Rainbow, who’d rolled herself onto her front and had tilted her head, scrutinising her.
“Say Twi’, why are you wearing my super-awesome Spy suit?”
Twilight glanced at herself, the catsuit she’d borrowed from Dash still covering her frame.
“Research purposes…” she offered lamely, hoping that her infamous sociability would deter any more questions. Her eyes flitted back to her previous target again, then back into the face of Dash as the other pony shrugged and closed her eyes again, resting her head on her hooves.
“Well alright… just give it back when you’re done, mkay?”
“Sure.”
Twilight’s eyes moved back slowly, drawn to the point from earlier as her hooves started silently forwards again. She was almost there…
She could do this…
Her head was inches away…
Then Dash twisted beneath her, two hooves enveloping her in a hug as Rainbow brought her head up and started…
Nibbling on Twilights… ear?
Her eyes widened for a moment, having expected her target to have been somewhat more… mouthy.
Her eyes flicked over to Twilight, scanning her expression, which had become decidedly more relaxed as Dash continued to knead the ear between her teeth.
She followed Twilights’… surprisingly static gaze towards her own ear.
Rainbow let go of Twilights’ ear, chuckling softly.
“Almost egghead… almost.”
