Tomber Amoureux
The Great Escape
~~~~~
After Pinkie left, Twilight stayed motionlessly curled up on the cold dining room floor. She almost kissed me Twilight thought, with a small ray of hope. I have to tell her she can stay at my place! This has to work out...and who knew that Mrs. Cake was such a homophobe Twilight thought bitterly, as she began to stand up with a heavy but still hopeful heart. She peered up at the clock. It's 12:00. Maybe I can sneak in. Twilight pondered her situation, when she finally put on the sleek black suit that she had used to get into the castle to cast a time spell. It was a little bit harder to get on then it was last time. Must be all those cupcakes Twilight thought as she impatiently shoved herself in the outfit. She quickly walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was messy, her eyes were puffy and red from crying and there was still a gleam tears streaking down her face. She cleaned herself up and walked out of the castle into the cold and dark night.
Let's do this.
~~~~~
Pinkie lay in her room hugging Gummy tightly, sobbing. Why did this have to happen? I never knew that Mrs. Cake could be so mean, and I didn't even get to kiss Twi! The pink mare got on her hooves with sadness and hesitation; her fur got stuck to the sheets due to the fact that she was crying so much. She walked to the mirror, Gummy on her back and looked at the mess she saw before her. She did everything she could to try and make her hair poof up, but her stubborn hair stayed straight. Pinkie dried her tears and didn't bother trying to look nice. She slowly lay on her bed, even though this could never feel like home to her after what happened. Home was where the heart lies, and that was with Twilight. She started to fall asleep, hoping this was all a nightmare and she would soon wake up at the castle, snuggled up against Twilight's silky fur.
~~~~~
Plink!
Plonk!
Pinkie's ears twitched.
Plink!
She slowly woke up, yawned and looked out the window, noticing it was still dark outside.
Plonk!
Something hit her window. She walked out of bed, careful not to wake the Cakes. She peered out the window and saw a certain purple Alicorn levitating rocks at her window. Pinkie opened the window as quick as she could without making noise.
"Twi, what are you doing?" Pinkie whisper-shouted to Twilight.
"Pack your stuff, I'll explain later." Twilight said to Pinkie with a sense of urgency. Pinkie quickly went to get a suitcase, packed all of her personal belongings and grabbed Gummy.
"Now what?" Pinkie quietly asked Twilight, curious to see what Twilight had planned.
"Jump, just trust me." Twilight quickly said to Pinkie. Pinkie already trusted Twilight with all her heart, so she held Gummy tightly and jumped out the window. She expected to hit the ground, but instead she felt a tingly feeling from the bottom of her hooves to the top of her head. She looked down at Twilight, and realized she was floating a few hooves above ground. Twilight carefully placed Pinkie down and galloped to her side. She was so close she could feel Pinkie's hot breath catch and it made her fur stand on end.
This was her opportunity, and all she had to do was take it. She did. Twilight locked lips in a loving embrace and felt soft pink lips push against her own with very little aggression, but with very much kindness and love. Twilight stroked Pinkie's head and her stubborn hair as she pushed back tenderly with her newfound confidence and Pinkie felt Twilight push deeper into the kiss. Pinkie smiled lovingly through their embrace.
Poof!
Pinkie's hair spontaneously went back to it's normal craziness and she blushed with vigor. They broke apart and stared into each other's eyes, now they were both blushing profoundly. A long silence followed.
"I love you." Twilight finally said, breaking the silence of rustling leaves and wind.
"I love you too Twilight, and don't you forget it." Pinkie replied genuinely as she nuzzled her alicorn friend. Twilight blushed deeply and sighed. Suddenly, the realization of their circumstance hit them and they both stared at each other once again, this time their eyes full of worry.
"Where will I stay?" Pinkie questioned with a sad tone to her voice, knowing she would no longer be welcome at SugarCube Corner.
"I had already thought about that when I realized the castle had so many rooms and I could definitely spare one for my marefriend." Twilight said with a small smile. Red clashed on pink fur once again, only this time more noticeable.
"Thank you so much, Twi. So we're marefriends now?" Pinkie replied, very grateful that Twilight was so generous; maybe she would even surpass Rarity.
"Of course, I mean unless you don't want to." Twilight said, looking down at the stone path. Pinkie raised Twilight's chin so she could see her.
"Why wouldn't I want to be with the most beautiful mare in all of Equestria?" Pinkie asked, her smile shining brightly in the dark of the night. Twilight quickly blushed, but realized where they were, and worry shone through violet eyes.
"Uhm I hate to break the mood, but I think we should get moving." Twilight said with a twinge of disappointment, she didn't want this feeling to end. Pinkie nodded and was about to pick up her suitcase when it was surrounded by a pink aura.
"I've got it, let's go." Twilight said, already moving in the direction of the castle. Pinkie followed in pursuit and they picked up the pace. They made it back to the castle when the sun started rise, and light reflected off of the castle's grand structure. They hastily opened the crystal doors and walked to Twilights room, both collapsing of exhaustion.
~~~~~
"Twilight. Twilight." Twilight slowly opened her eyes to the sight of a small purple dragon staring down at her.
"Twilight? Why is Pinkie here? What happened?" Spike questioned, curious how long the pink party pony would be staying. Twilight sighed, knowing she would have to tell him and her other friends soon enough. She only hoped that they wouldn't react they way Mrs. Cake did.
"Spike, I have something to tell you. You see..." Twilight continued on to tell him exactly what happened yesterday night.
~~~~~
"Wow. Just wow." Spike said soon after the story finished. "So Mrs. Cake really...?" Spike asked as Twilight nodded her head in reply. "Well I guess that's that. Congratulations by the way, I didn't know you had it in you to finally get a date." Spike said as he stood up to leave the room so he could spend more time with Rarity; they were making hats today.
"So you're not upset that I'm dating a mare?" Twilight asked, thinking that she would get more of a reaction from the small dragon, even though she hoped she wouldn't.
"Why would I be upset? I mean, you can't help who you love right?" Spike said, hoping to leave the small room before tomorrow.
"You're the best, Spike." Twilight said, relieved she wouldn't have to get in a fight with her number one assistant.
"Aw, shucks. Thanks Twilight, but I really got to get going." Spike said as he slipped past Twilight and out the door.
"You know we are going to have to tell all of our friends, too. I'm definitely going to have to talk to Mrs. Cake." Pinkie said as she walked towards Twilight, apparently already awake.
"Yeah. We'll tell them all tomorrow I'm sure." Twilight said, hoping she could finally relax with her new marefriend.
