A Fluffy Surprise
Hearing the faint sounds of the morning birds merrily chirp outside her window, Twilight smiled and rolled over in her bed, fully intent on going back to sleep. After celebrating their victory at her parents' house a couple of nights ago, they had all gone back to Ponyville the next morning to get everything situated for Scootaloo’s new home. Upon arriving, they’d gone out and gotten her some basic necessities for her new room, then Rainbow had Twilight teleport her spare bed into her cloudhouse for their new adopted daughter.
After getting Scootaloo’s new room adorned with as much Wonderbolts memorabilia as possible, they had spent the next couple of days trying to figure out how to allow for Scootaloo to access the house. If she had it her way, Twilight would have had Scootaloo living at the library, just like she and Spike were, but much to her dismay, the courts had deemed her place of residence unsuitable. Twilight had thought about asking Rainbow to think about the option of selling her house and buying one on the ground for Scootaloo, but she knew how much Rainbow cherished her house. She didn’t want to be the one to bring up such an option, so she had chosen to keep that idea to herself. Because of the deadline being only a few days away, she had gone over to Rainbow’s last night to discuss options with her, knowing full well that if they didn’t act within the next couple of days, they’d lose everything that they’d worked so hard to get.
Taking a deep breath, Twilight smiled and felt around for her feathery friend. She was getting a little chilly and wanted to cuddle, but she failed to find her. Disappointed, she cracked an eye open and looked around, only to find herself back in her bedroom, alone. Twilight bit her lip as she let her shoulders slump. She missed the comforting and warm embrace of her friend, especially when it was as cold as it was now.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Out of instinct, Twilight’s ears flicked towards the source of the noise. Throwing the warm sheets off of her, she rolled over and looked towards her balcony’s door. What she saw made her jaw drop in shock, and she just stared at the window for a few more moments before she shook her head, still not believing what she was seeing. Twilight slid out of bed and walked over to her balcony door, her jaw still hanging open wide.
Rainbow’s cloudhouse was floating right outside of her window.
Twilight grabbed a random scarf laying on her desk then wrapped it around her neck before opening the door, where Rainbow was tying a few ropes to her balcony, securing her house to hers. There was a hole in the railing right where Rainbow stood, the wood laying in bits and pieces at her hooves.
“R… Ra… Rainbow! What are you doing?” Twilight stammered out as she watched Rainbow tie the last rope to her balcony.
“Oh, hey Twi!” Rainbow exclaimed as she tested the strength of her knots. “How’s this look?” she asked with a confident smile. “Pretty nifty, right?”
“B– B– Bu–But you can’t just– The safety regulations say that you can’t–” Twilight said, her mouth moving a heck of a lot faster than her mind was. She took a couple of breaths before continuing. To her, it seemed Rainbow was paying her no mind, so she stomped on the deck to get her attention. “Rainbow! Are you even listening to me?”
“Twilight, relax!” Rainbow said, flitting over to where Twilight was pouting. “I got it covered, see?” She reached to the side where her saddlebag lay and pulled out an official-looking document. “I’m adding, and I quote, ‘a mobile home attachment!’ I already got the permits for it from the mayor herself first thing this morning, and she said so long as my house isn’t over anything, then we’re good!”
Twilight snatched the documents from Rainbow’s hooves. “But since your house is now connected to mine, doesn’t that make it part of the public building?” she asked as she flipped through the documents.
“Nope!” Rainbow happily flapped her wings once. “Since my house is not technically connected to yours, by law, it wouldn’t be part of it.”
“Um… but your house is clearly secured to mine with the ropes, Rainbow…” Twilight said dumbly, the effects of sleep still clouding her waking mind.
“Well, so are your birdhouses over there.” Rainbow gestured at them, smiling as she watched a bluejay alight on the little stick below the hole leading inside. “But that doesn’t make them part of the public building, now does it? If it did, then technically those birds wouldn’t be allowed to live there,” she finished with a confident smirk. She sat back and waited patiently as Twilight sifted through her documents, letting her tail flick about in excitement. “See? Two can play at that silly game!”
Her eyes flying over the sheets of parchment, Twilight sat down as a wide smile formed on her face. “Rainbow…” she started with a chuckle. “You’re a genius!” Tossing the sheets aside, she gave her friend a quick hug before she pulled back, a sheepish smile on her face.
“Heh, thanks…” Rainbow said with a blush, her ears folding back. Ruffling her wings, she said, “Don’t forget that Scootaloo still has to stay in my place, though. Also…” she trailed off with a nervous giggle, looking anywhere but Twilight. “Now that Scootaloo’s gonna be permanently living in my house, I was wondering if… oh, I don’t know, if you’d maybe want to move in with us?” Her blush deepened as she continued, images of the two of them cuddling in her bed flowing through her mind. “Because let’s be real, would you rather live in an old public building, or…” she trailed off with a flair before she gestured at her house a moment later. “Would you rather live in a big, awesome house with your best friend and Scootaloo? Besides, I’m sure Scootaloo would love to have you live with us!”
“Hey, I like my old public building!” Twilight playfully shot back with a giggle. “But yeah, I see your point. It would be pretty nice to actually live in a real house for a change…” She winked at Rainbow as she walked past her, levitating her friend’s bags behind her.
“So… is that a yes?” Rainbow asked as she followed her inside. She couldn’t help but let her gaze drift to her friend’s flank as she walked behind her, watching her tail sway back and forth in time with her hips enticingly. Hm… she’s pretty cute… Rainbow thought before she stopped, shaking her head.
“I don’t see why not!” Twilight said, breaking Rainbow from her thoughts. As she trotted past Rainbow’s open doorway she looked around, seeing Rainbow’s house in a new light. Laying her friend’s saddlebag off to the side, she reasoned that since Rainbow had just asked her to move in with her, she might as well do a little exploring. “But what about Spike? Do we have enough room for him?” She trotted upstairs and opened the first door on her left, instantly recognizing her old spare bed. “Ah, I take it this is Scootaloo’s new room?” she asked with a small smile as she saw all of the Wonderbolt posters lining the wall.
“Heh, you know it,” Rainbow said. “Come on, I’ll show you my room.” She led the two of them down the rest of the hallway and opened her door, revealing her bedroom. As they stepped inside, she saw Twilight’s face contort in confusion. “Uh, something wrong, Twi?”
“Not really, but I couldn’t help but notice that you only have two bedrooms. Where am I going to sleep? And where’s Spike going to sleep? I just gave him his own room, and since Scootaloo has the only other bedroom in the house…” she trailed off as she thought.
“Oh! Uh…” Rainbow looked around her room, trying to figure out if it was possible to fit Twilight’s bed inside her bedroom. “We can try and get your own bed in here somehow, but that’d take a lot of time rearranging my room, and I kinda like how it is right now… Or, you, um… hehe, you know, since we already snuggle most nights, how about we just share mine? It’s big enough for the two of us, and that way we wouldn’t have to worry about doing all of that extra work!” As Twilight cocked her head at her, Rainbow felt her heart beat just a little faster. “We might as well, right? Why have two beds in here when we usually just use one?” she asked, hoping that her logic would help her case.
Twilight shot Rainbow a sly smile as she flapped her wings. Landing on the bed, she looked down in amazement as her hooves sunk into the cloud mattress. “Woah…” she said under her breath. Laying down, she flopped onto her side with a gleeful giggle. “This is so soft! How come I don’t have one of these?” she asked, pointedly not answering Rainbow’s question for the moment.
Rainbow hopped on the bed and lay down next to her friend. “It’s soft because the mattress is a cloud, Twi, and that’s a good question.” Without waiting for a response, Rainbow laid her head on Twilight’s folded wing and laid a lazy hoof over her side. When she didn’t object, she smiled and looked up into her eyes. “So… whatcha say? Snuggle buddies?”
“Oh, is that what the foals are calling it nowadays?” Twilight asked, her tone dripping with friendly sarcasm.
“Ha ha ha.” Rainbow rolled her eyes. “Come on, you know you’d like to…” I know I would…
“Hm…” Twilight looked up and away with a smile as she pretended to think. Rainbow was right about her wanting to snuggle, especially since they were doing so right now. “I don’t see why not, so… sure!”
Rainbow’s heart beat a little bit faster in excitement. “Really?” she asked, lifting her head from Twilight’s wing. She laid her head on the bed and closed her eyes as she let herself relax, letting her tail flick about in excitement as she prayed to whatever deities were out there that Twilight wasn’t messing around with her.
“Yep!” Twilight said as she sat up. As she did so, Rainbow’s hoof slipped lower and lower until it was resting on her rear. Twilight froze, her eyes going wide at her friend’s touch. She didn’t know if she was touching her flank on purpose or on accident, but she was willing to give the benefit of the doubt. “Um… Rainbow?”
“Yeah, Twi?” Rainbow lazily asked, simply enjoying the fact that Twilight had agreed to become snuggle buddies with her.
“Can you, um… stop touching me there?” she asked with a nervous giggle.
“Huh? What are you–” Rainbow cracked an eye open and saw exactly what Twilight was talking about. “Oh!” She yanked her hoof off of Twilight’s butt and sat up, her cheeks flushing from the severity of the situation. “Sorry! I didn’t mean to let that happen, honest! I don’t–” she said as quickly as she could, only to find Twilight’s hoof on her lips a moment later, stopping her.
“It’s fine, Rainbow,” Twilight said with a chuckle. “So long as it was an accident…” Rainbow nodded furiously. “Then there’s nothing to worry about. Anyways… since I’m gonna move into your house, you wanna help me move my stuff in? It’s not too much, really,” Twilight asked as she hopped from the bed, a small pep in her step as she trotted down the hallway.
“Yeah, sure, but I have to leave for Cloudsdale in a little bit. Big weather conference and whatnot,” Rainbow said as she followed Twilight. She spread her wings and glided in tight loops to the bottom of the stairs. “Also, I was gonna drop in on my parents and stay the night there so we could catch up and whatnot. I'm sure they’d rather find out about me adopting a foal in person rather than through a letter. You gonna be able to take care of Scootaloo for today?”
“Yeah, sure…” Twilight said, letting her shoulders slump ever so slightly. She’d been looking forward to snuggling with Rainbow on their bed, but it looked like she’d have to wait. “I guess that makes sense.” Trying to hide her disappointment, she shook her head and said, “Anyways, the faster we get this done, the sooner you can leave! We wouldn't want you to be late for your conference, right?” And the sooner you get back, the sooner we can cuddle…

*pats Twilicorn*
Look on the bright side! Snuggle Parties* are a thing if you really need to recharge your snuggle battery.
*They really are.
Its a nice short little chapter.
I cant help but notice that, its at the end.
A bit short, but good. And Rainbow finds the legal loophole! That I like.
Although it is a good question. Where is Spike going to sleep? Unless of course he just gets the library to himself at night...
4938788 Uh... what?
This, right here, is my favourite chapter yet. It's so warm and happy and full of fluff! I love it!
That said, I wonder how RD's parents are going to react to this whole thing. I expect it'll be a favourable reaction, but likely with them jumping to conclusions about the nature of Twi and Dash's relationship. You could even use that to jump-start Dash's own thoughts regarding how she really sees Twilight.
Oh, and I think a full stop is missing here:
4938830 End of chapter 17.
Scootaloo to access the house. If she had
Need to separate it when Dash talks.
Dash, do you just not care about Spike? Twi asked two or three times, but you never answered!
Good chapter, where's spike staying though?
4938853 Welp, that's the last time I'm ever going to use Pages to write stories. Thanks for catching those!
As for Dash not answering Twi's question about Spike, all of her attention was focused on her new 'snuggle buddy'.
4938851 Yeah? What about it?
4938861 He's gonna want to stay in his old bedroom, which is still kinda new to him.
4938830
Its missing the word "Want"
4938876 Oh, okay. I had no idea what he was trying to say haha. Thanks!
4938801 That's the plan!
Wait, Spike can't walk on clouds... Where the heck is he going to...? Oh my gosh, he's getting the library all to himself isn't he?
Also I am not sure how much more adorableness I can take. I am afraid this is story is going to be hazardous to my heart soon.
Well played, Rainbow!
4938853
4938868
SNuggles are more important than baby dragons.
Kinda surprised that Twiilght was bothered by the hoof-on-flank situation
but nevertheless, nice little chapter 
Damn refresh comment button...
Good little chap, my mush.
I hereby deem this story worthy of 10 random smilies!
4938874
Makes sense, that's probably what I would do. That our take Twilight's old room.
Well, it looks like Spike is left out in the cold, once again. I mean even if he is given the library to himself, he will still be all alone.
Well, at least RD, Twilight, and Scootaloo will have only each other, right. The perfect little pony family.
4939028 This story would be very different if it wasn't Twilicorn...
The shipping begins... MOAR snuggles!
4939094 I might be jumping to conclusions, but that is how I feel about this if Twilight, RD, and Scootaloo does move in together in RD's house.
4939111 I mean, if Twilight wasn't an alicorn, some things would have gone differently. Very differently.
4939121 That is very true.
Twilight and Rainbow still acting oblivious about any chance of a romance between them has officially exceeded my capacity to ignore. They've adopted a foal, they sleep together, and now they live together. All without either seriously considering asking the other out. I'm just not buying it any more.
'Nuff said.
4939028
He's not really being left alone since Dash's home is tied to the balcony of the library.
4939157 True, but RD can also think about if Spike would like to maybe live with them too.
so, twilight's willing to move in, snuggle every night, and raise a foal with rainbow, but she won't allow her to touch her butt?
4938801 another question, how is Spike gonna avoid falling through the floor? Thats a problem those who are not Alicorns, Pegasi, or Griffins seem to have.
4939219
Which means he can't live in Rainbow's cloud house. He has to stay in the library.
Maybe I need to reread, but wasn't Rainbow the one aware of her feelings? Like, wasn't that the whole reason she started snuggling?
Other than that detail, attention rapt and feelings enjoyable.
I think Spike will enjoy having the Library to himself at night, no more having to get woken up if Twilight starts talking to herself while researching since Rainbow and Scoots will drag her back upstairs to the cloud house. Plus, I'm fairly sure that at some point having a mare around constantly will get very embarrassing for him as he physically matures.
4939149 Denile isn't just a river in Egypt
Hah, you used my "Attach the cloudhouse to the balcony" idea!
4939149
My guess is that they might be hesitant to admit it for X reasons.
4939294
Denile isn't a river at all.
You also spelled Denial incorrectly.
It was a nice try, though.
4939149 Yeah, but it's soooo cute.
RD and twi are going to accidentally have sex before they realise their feelings with the way this is going
4939472 Followed by them getting married. But not because they like each other or anything. Just because it's convenient. Yep.
4939149 Don't forget that when Dash asked Twilight if she was into her, she said no, so thoughts of romance are still sorta out of the question in her mind.
4939182 Don't forget she's a virgin haha.
4939349 I actually didn't. It had been my idea from all the way back in January when I started outlining the story. You just happened to guess it correctly!
Sigh... am I the only one who hates that cliche in stories? Like, it doesn't really seem like anyone would ever really think that.
Also, can I touch Twilight's flank? Just as a friend, of course.
Also, friendly flank-touching.
BUCK YES
Need the next chapter!!!
After celebrating their victory at her parent’s
parents'
(Unless only one parent is living there...?)
I have to be honest, when I saw that title, this is what I thought of.
i.ytimg.com/vi/qRC4Vk6kisY/maxresdefault.jpg
With the whole library to himself Spike can throw more of his sex parties.
Or Scootaloo can come down and visit him more. I am still pushing and hoping for a side of Spikealoo.
KBO.
4939663
Yeah, I agree, that cliche bugs me, too.
