Cloudchaser's Agony
When Cloudchaser arrived home she was crying in agony. She was crying harder than she ever had in her life and this brought about a great amount of concern from Flitter. Flitter ran to her and asked, "Cloudchaser, what's wrong? What happened?"
She pushed her sister away and screamed, "I don't want to talk to anypony right now. Just give me some time alone right now, ok?"
This was not at all like Cloudchaser. She had went through heartbreak before and normally the first pony she would talk to would be Flitter. While Flitter wanted to go and talk to her sister right then and there, she decided she would give her the space that she needed as she did not want her to get mad at her.
For two straight hours Flitter sat downstairs and could hear her sister crying in agony. Despite being tired, she decided that she would stay up until she knew that her sister was not quite as distraught. When she finally heard her sister go quiet, she headed up to check on her. There she found Cloudchaser crawled up in a ball sobbing quietly on her bed. She asked, "Cloudchaser, do you want to talk?"
Deep down she had no desire to do so but she thought maybe talking would help. She replied, "I guess so since every time I've had my heart broken you seem to be able to calm me down."
Flitter pulled her up, hugged her and asked, "What happened? What did he do to hurt you so much?"
Cloudchaser replied, "Well something didn't seem right from the very beginning. Normally on the way there he is very talkative but tonight he was very quiet, he hardly said a word. And once we got to the cafe he didn't seem right either."
Flitter asked, "What wasn't right about him?"
Cloudchaser replied, "I ask him what is wrong and he claims he applied for a job at the Cloudsdale weather factory three weeks ago and had not heard back from them. I know he was lying because I applied there once and I knew within a week that I didn't get a job there."
Flitter said, "I know you were pretty upset about that." She pulled her sister a bit closer and asked, "What else happened?"
Cloudchaser replied, "He then goes on to say that he thinks his life is lacking direction right now. He started to talk about how he wanted a bright future but he didn't know if it would happen. Of course I asked him what he hoped would happen and he gave me the sorry response of him hoping he could work at the weather factory or become a professional bowler." She began to sob, "And I knew this a couple months ago and knew none of it would never happen. I should have just left him then because chances are he'll never go anywhere."
Flitter asked, "What happened after that?"
She began to cry harder again, "Well I asked him where I fit into his future and he simply claimed that he wanted me as part of his life but stuttered when he said it! Well our food arrived but I wasn't going to let that get him off the hook. I asked him more about the future and he claimed that he hoped we could get serious and claimed that MAYBE someday we could eventually be married! That lying rat! I should have known that he didn't really mean it!"
Flitter asked, "And what else?"
Cloudchaser cried in agony, "And then I ask him if he even loves me and he said, 'I'll be honest, I really LIKE you.' He only said like, not love! Do you know how much that hurt? He flat out admitted he didn't love me."
Cloudchaser at this point had her face buried in Flitter's mane. Flitter replied, "I'm sorry Cloudchaser. That had to have hurt really bad."
Cloudchaser lifted her head and yelled, "It did hurt! It hurt so bad I felt like I had a knife plunged straight into my heart!" She buried her face in Flitter's mane again and sobbed, "I hate him, I truly hate him!" She nuzzled her sister and continued, "What is wrong with me? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not smart enough? Why Flitter, why?"
Flitter replied, "Cloudchaser, you are perfect the way you are. It is his loss, not yours."
Cloudchaser cried, "I just want somepony who will hold me, somepony who will actually kiss me, somepony who will want to spend a whole weekend with me, somepony who would want to just snuggle for hours on end, somepony who will want to be with me forever."
Flitter began to stroke her hoof through her mane and replied, "I'm sure you'll find that special somepony someday. Anypony would be lucky to have you in their life."
Cloudchaser whimpered, "I know." She calmed down a little and asked, "Flitter, could you stay in here with me tonight. You have really helped me and if I just want to talk, I want you to be right here."
Flitter smiled, "Yeah, I can do that."
Despite being very tired at this point, Flitter continued to stay up and hold her sister. Cloudchaser had gone through moments of stress many times but this was her worst. Cloudchaser finally fell asleep in Flitter's hooves she had relaxed enough. Flitter did hope that her sister would wake up before she fell asleep herself.
Discovering True Love
A couple hours passed and Flitter was still awake, just barely when Cloudchaser woke up. She pulled her face out of her sister's mane and looked out the window. It was almost dawn. She smiled up at her sister and said, "Thank you Flitter. You have no idea how much you doing this truly means to me."
Flitter smiled, "It's alright Cloudchaser. You know I'll always be here for you, no matter what."
Cloudchaser asked, "You know Flitter, I don't know why more ponies can't be like you. I bet there are even other twin sisters that wouldn't do for me what you did." She blushed and continued, "You know, if you weren't my sister I'd consider giving a mare a chance since it seems like all the lesbian couples I see are so happy."
Flitter asked in return, "Can I admit something to you and you won't think I'm disgusting or anything?"
Cloudchaser replied, "Yeah, you can."
Flitter asked, "Remember last night when you asked me why I don't go mingle and try to meet any stallions?"
Cloudchaser replied, "Yes, I do."
Flitter said, "I don't go and do that because I have eyes for only one pony, and that is you. I know it is wrong but you are everything a mare could dream of. You are sweet, you are kind, you have a heart full of love, you are caring and you are so sexy."
Cloudchaser began to cry, "Really? I feel the same way about you Flitter." Her crying only intensified as she continued, "I never told you about this because I thought you would think I was sick and I know everypony in town would probably cut ties with us but you know what? I don't care anymore, I want to be with you!"
Flitter cried, "Really?"
Cloudchaser continued to cry, "Yes! I know you'll give me the affection and love that nopony else will. I know you want me, I know you love me, I know you'll hold me and I know you'll always be here to comfort me." She calmed down a bit and asked, "With us being twins I don't know what term we'd use but would you be my marefriend?"
Flitter squealed, "Yes! Yes I'll be your marefriend!"
The two began to kiss passionately and in their hearts they finally felt true happiness. Flitter had dreamed of this moment for years and Cloudchaser's hidden love finally came to the surface. While they had a feeling that the town would be disgusted by their new relationship, all that mattered to them was that they had each other.
