Chapter 1
It Takes Three To Tango
She couldn't help but chuckle at it. Not the sight of her fillyfriend and drakefriend cuddle up as they sleep, though it was rather cute to see the dragon envelope the sleeping pegasus in his arms. No, what made Twilight chuckle was the fact she had a drake and fillyfriend. How did she come to share her bed with her assistant and what others may refer to as her brother, and one of her best friends now turned lover? Twilight took a seat at the foot of the bed to recollect herself, to wonder why the gods blessed her with two loves of her life and all the insanity it caused her. She shifted as her nightgown hugged her body, her lovers' gentle bodies inviting her. No, she wanted to reminisce for one more time tonight, one more time about her little herd...
She remember it first started with Spike. After weeks of grieving from rejection from Rarity, he finally came back from the personal tragedy, as sarcastic and wise-cracking as ever. However, puberty for the dragon changed him. Yes he did grow and his baby fat had been replaced with a more slender and wiry-muscled body, his voice deepened, his spines more pointed and budding wings formed on his back, but it was the personality that took a greater change than the physical form. Spike became more intelligent it seemed and a lot more humble than before. Instead of looking at himself as a perfect macho-dragon, he learned to point out his flaws to himself, this one character trait was one Twilight took note of more than anything else.
She remembered a year later she caught him staring at her more often than before and more frequently, during work, during meals, during visits to friends... She was baffled at first, surely Spike, her assistant and practical brother, was romantically interested in her. No, no matter how much she wanted to believe i- wait, she wanted to believe that? Why? Sure he was always there for her, he knew her like his back hand, he stuck by her through thick and thin, and she could not in her entire life think of functioning properly without him, but that didn't mean anything! She sighed to herself on that fateful day, she loved him, and there was a chance he loved her. So, with a long talk and a few dates that went rather well in her opinion, they became an official couple.
Then she went on royal business to Canterlot.
The day she got back, Spike was acting strange; jittery, fidgety, and guilty. No, there was no way while she was out of town h-
"Fluttershy kissed me!" he blurted at the dinner table. Celestia why?!
"What?!" It was Twilight's turn to shout.
"Twilight, I swear by the gods she came on to me, I would never, ever cheat on you!" He defended.
"Why would she do that?"
It went on like this for the night, questions and answers that couldn't be confirmed until Fluttershy was contacted. The next morning, Twilight went to the pegasus' cottage to ask some questions, some totally non-threatening, non-incriminatory questions. When the pegasus answered the knocked door, she looked like a wreck. Teary eyes, messy hair, and wrinkled clothes that haven't been changed for days was what greeted her.
"Fluttershy?" Twilight asked in a hushed and confused tone.
The pale yellow pony hugged the lilac one and sobbed deeply into her, shouting apologies to her. Twilight comforted her and invited the pegasus to her place, so they could all discuss the dilemma. She reluctantly agreed and soon the trio was in the living room of the library.
"I don't know what came over me," Fluttershy started. "Spike was just so generous and compassionate when he started to help out with all the girls. I know I shouldn't have taken it as a sign, but..." She broke down in sobs again with Spike and Twilight at either side holding her hand or rubbing her back for support. "I-I can see why you picked him, Twilight." Twilight couldn't be mad at Fluttershy, she was truly sorry and not to mention a shy pony to begin with.
"Shy, I don't blame you, really, I'm sure if I was in your position, I'd do the same." Twilight said, hugging her timid friend. Spike joined in, showing that he too held nothing against her. Twilight could feel the mare calm down, much to her and Spike's relief.
The mare held a soft grin after she fully calmed down. Spike couldn't help but talk up, trying to clear the air.
"You know, Shy, if it was okay with Twi, I wouldn't mind dating you too." He joked, much to Twilight's confusion.
"Really? Wouldn't that seem, I don't know, selfish? Of me of course." She replied. Now Twilight was reeling with confusion, were these two really having a conversation about open relationships in front of her?
"Wait you two, I don't know how I feel about this, this doesn't seem normal!" Twilight interjected, catching the attention of the other two in the room.
"Twi, we saved the land countless times, you became a princess, and I saved an entire empire. When have we as group ever been "normal"?" Spike countered. Twilight opened her mouth to reply, but at that moment, she became mute. That didn't explain this peculiar arrangement Spike was proposing though.
"Well, I just don't know how it will work, sharing you, Spike." She finally said.
"I could also date you, so it can be fair. If you want to, that is..." Fluttershy spoke up. Twilight was blown away now, dating a mare and a dragon? Was that allowed? Did she even like mares? Fluttershy was the most easy-going of her friends for sure, and she had nothing against homosexuality, but it was a whole other thing engaging in it!
"Fluttershy, I... I just don't know, I never been with any one other than Spike, not to mention another mare!"
"Neither have I, but maybe it will be exciting, you do have a great personality Twilight..." Fluttershy said as she blushed a bit at the unintended compliment. Twilight also blushed and Spike was mesmerized, wondering if his joke was actually going to become a reality.
"Maybe a trial date would help." Spike suggested after being silent for awhile. "We all go somewhere together and see how it works out, if it doesn't, end of story, if so, maybe it's worth exploring a bit more?" Twilight was still a little unsure about the whole thing, but after Fluttershy agreed to the plan, she decided Spike was right, one date as a trio to see if it worked or not, it only seemed fair to all of them at this point.
What followed was what Twilight will always remember as the most fun she ever had in one night. She couldn't stop talking with the two and found she could be herself with Shy just as much as she could with Spike, everything just seemed to fit. Even on dates with just Fluttershy, she felt comfortable and decided gender didn't count as long as the pony past it was someone you could see yourself with. She officially had a fillyfriend, and so did her drakefriend, and she loved them both as much as she possibly could.
"Twi, aren't you coming to bed?" Spike grumbled. She turned to see the dragon had awaken when she laid down next to him sub-conscientiously.
"Yeah." she replied, getting under the covers and kissing the dragon as he cuddled her as well. Twilight pecked the sleeping Fluttershy on her lips and finally laid her head on the dragon's warm chest. Their situation may not be normal, but when were they ever?

This is looking good. Can't wait to see more
Guess it's time to mail Fluttershy again. Damn public transportation costs too much.
Otherwise, this was a great fic and I would like nothing more than for you to continue it.
You definitely have something interesting here. Although I feel you should write something without expecting to become anything big or what people might like. Not saying what you have is bad, just continue on regardless of how people feel about it. You can focus on that once the story is actually finished.
Whoa whoa whoa. Back the truck up. You stole the title of my story, dude. Not cool, man, not cool.
Huh, didn't think I see this kind of story with a rated E tag. Either way this looks good and off to a great start.

It happens, brother. There have been a dozen stories named Variables, The Talk, and On Pins and Needles since I wrote those stories. I know it doesn't feel good, but people will know the difference between the narratives. That's why people usually refer to the author along with the story.
It seems like a good start and a good set-up, especially if we can see a few more flashbacks, maybe of some ups and, especially, downs of their relationship (The reactions of their friends/family, the public in general, maybe problems with the press, as they are celebrities).
4449792 Yeah, I know. I wasn't actually upset. I'm more surprised than anything since It Takes Three to Tango isn't the actual phrase.
This is good! I can't wait to read more
Cute, simple and to the point, this is a good start.
Can't wait to see some *Dawwwwww* cuddle moments between the three =D
A promising start.
