Trancending Love
Chapter 8
The twelve ponies sat around two fires, each half again the size of a pony, one had not been large enough to maintain comfortable warmth with the all too soon night, for all of them. The tongues of each danced in the silence, with the telling of their side done, the six mares waited for the recipient’s reaction.
“Hmm well that is understandable. Come to think of it if I was in your horseshoes I would have done the same thing.” Dusk Shine commented tapping a hoof to his chin.
“Well now that’s cleared Ya’ll need some place ta stay. Ah got a couple o’ rooms at tha farm.” Aj said flicking his hat. Dusk Shine was flabbergasted, obviously thinking that all wasn’t clear.
“I have a room at the boutique.” Elusive offered.
“We can always use some help down at Sugar Cube Corner. We do have an extra room.” Bubble Berry pitched in.
“My cottage does get a little lonely sometimes even with all my animal friends.” Butterscotch was looking away and kicking a hoof while he spoke.
“I guess I can offer the spare bed back at the library.” Dusk Shine sighed and shook his head. All eyes had turned to Rainbow Blitz.
“No. No way. I still don’t trust them. Besides I’m gonna stay at Aj’s to keep an eye on them.” Blitz crossed his forehooves with a grunt.
“So all that’s left is to decide who stays with whom.” Twilight said. “I kinda want to stay with Butterscotch.” Everypony could see her blush except Butterscotch who was still staring at his hooves.
“Ah don’t know abou’ ya’ll but Ah miss the farm so that’s where Ah’m stayin.” Applejack stated.
“Ooh me too me too.” Pinkie Pie burst into one of her happy spasms.
“I’ve helped around Sugar Cube Corner before so I wouldn’t mind that. If that’s alright with you.” Fluttershy mumbled.
“Of course it’s fine, we’re gonna have so much fun. Oh I know this calls for a party a Welcome-to-Sugar-Cube-Corner-Fluttershy-party.” Bubble Berry began trembling excitement.
“I do believe that Barbara would get along quite well with you Rarity. If you don’t mind would you consider staying with us at the library?” Dusk asked with a slight nod or bow Rarity couldn’t really tell which one.
“I would love to.” Rarity answered.
“That leaves…” Elusive started
“Uh-uh, no, no way, I am not staying with Elusive; I don’t think I can stand so much boredom.” Rainbow Dash argued shaking both her head and fore legs.
“I knew it, you act cool but your nothing more than a eager filly who can’t come to grips with just how lame she is.” Blitz crooned. His smirk was definitely louder than his words.
“You wouldn’t know cool if it bit you in the flanks copy colt, no matter how much you beg I won’t do it.” Rainbow Dash countered.
“How about we make a bet if you can stand the company of Elusive for longer than I can I’ll admit that’d be pretty cool.”
“IF he’s anything like Rarity then you don’t mean that. To you it would be exactly like a filly to be able to withstand exactly what they do. No it would be like proving I’m just a lame little filly. Well bub news flash I’m twice as cool as you will ever be.” Rainbow Dash had her pride shaken and she knew which buttons to press to get Blitz in the same foul mood.
“You will never be as cool as me filly faker, now be a good little filly and go play dress up.” Blitz snapped. With both of them ready to, well nopony present really could figure out just what they were not going to do. Twilight felt the urge to step in, as did Dusk Shine apparently.
“You two are acting like foals. You are the same pony whether you like it or not it’s true. Neither of you is cooler than the other.” Both of them snapped, bringing everyponies attention to them. Embarrassment for both of them became obvious as they did everything but look towards another pony.
“Ah think that tonight we all need some rest.” Aj stated looking out a nearby window.
“Ah agree it’s midnight or later.” Applejack consented before letting out a yawn. Trotting over to the pile of everything, Applejack pulled out one of the mats. Laying it out near the fires she curled up taking less than half of the space for herself. “We’ve only got six o’ these, so buddy up.” Applejack muttered before dozing off without another word. No pony made any arguments and in no time at all, all six mats had been laid out, right next to each other forming a rather haphazard looking square ish thing.
Sometime during the night they must have bunched together for some reason at least that’s what Rainbow Dash thought from the number of bodies that were piled on her. After she somehow squeezed out of the mound she found indeed that they had formed a small mound of pony. She couldn’t help but snicker at the sight of Blitz trying to snack on Applejack’ tail. ‘I’m soooo not gonna let him live that down.’ She mused glancing over towards the east window the sun had yet to rise apparently this ‘Prince Solaris’ was still asleep. Though everything in her screamed go back to sleep Rainbow Dash found that she couldn’t.
Rarity had said something about the dyes and paints needing a special remover, something she didn’t have. “It’s early but with so little ponies up I could practice my moves without getting screamed at if I get too close to Ponyville.” Rainbow paused giving such thoughts consideration before flying out a near window. “Maybe I should get up this early every day.” The night air did some to straighten her bed mane not by much though, also it was cool enough that she was awakened somewhat. “A dip in the river will do me good.” By the time she had reached the river it was dawn, nearly sunrise. Rainbow didn’t feel like landing and walking in, so instead she just dove strait into the current, creating a relatively small splash. Wrapping her fore hooves around a stone reaching about a hoofs length under the surface, Rainbow remained streamline like she would if flying. If she had to choose between being bothered and having to stay at Elusive’s, she much rather would have stayed at the boutique. Unfortunately for her the universe had no such plans. Of all the ways somepony could have disturbed her, a net was definitely not the one she would have guessed.
“Hey we actually caught something!” A foal’s voice called easily distinguishable as a colt.
“Did we get our fishing cutie-marks?” Another colt asked
“Sadly no.” A third one sighed. “Anyway let’s see what we got.”
“A pony, I think I’ve seen her before too. Um Morning Storm I think.” The first one voiced up.
“HEY! LET ME GO ALREADY!” Rainbow Dash half screamed, half growled.
“Righ’ sorry bout tha’.” The second one said, this one had a goofy grin on his face. His yellow coat and red mane and tail, topped off with a hat on backwards, was telling her just who she was dealing with except his name.
“Just who are you three exactly?”
“Names Applebuck, this ere is Scootoroll an’ Sweepybell.” Applebuck dipped his head a tad when he introduced himself a gesture the others followed, when he indicated them with his hoof.
“Alright now again get me out of here.” Rainbow greeted.
“Oops sorry about that not exactly our intention to catch or keep a pony.” Sweepybell said throwing off the net.
“Hey Sweepybell you’ve got an older brother right?” Rainbow Dash realized that she needed to get into character.
“Yep. His name’s Elusive.” Sweepybell had one of the goofiest grins plastered on his face.
“What’s he like?” Morning Storm asked raising one eyebrow.
“See ya Sweepybell I’m not gonna stay for something so boring.” Scootoroll said with a roll of his eyes.
“Asides Ah gotta get back afore Aj does else Ah’m in big trouble. Red Gala is gonna have me working in his place if Ah don’t.” Applebuck muttered hoping into their red wagon. “We’ll meet up at the club house.”
“I’ll tell you if you answer one question first.”
“Deal.” Morning didn’t really care at the moment.
“Why do you want to know?” It was an innocent question and the fact that he was a bit concerned for his brother made it all that much more difficult to lie or avoid answering.
“Well he kinda offered to let me stay with you two.” Morning Storm’s half smile spoke volumes as did rubbing her hoof along the back of her neck.
“Ok. Well he’s the best big brother ever. Sure he can be a bit annoying when trying to create a new line of designs but that’s part of his job. I’ll be the first one to say that he is probably the smoothest gentlecolt ever. If you do come and stay you’ll be treated like a lady at the very least if not a princess.” Sweepybell’s explanation pretty much described what she thought. Admittedly the prospect of being treated as an actual mare instead of a stallion that looked like one was enticing to say the least. One of her hidden desires, one of her explicitly hidden desires was to be able to act like the mare she was. It didn’t fit her ‘cool’ image but right now she wasn’t Rainbow Dash she was Morning Storm.
“Thanks squirt, see ya later.” Morning Storm took flight towards a field farther away from Ponyville with that little escapade taking more time than she would have liked. With her thoughts distracted as they were she ended up just lying on her stomach letting the sun warm her instead of practicing for the wonder bolts.
Two hours after sunrise and the pile of pony was dismantled with a lot of embarrassed mummers and apologies. “Well I suppose that we better take our stuff and get out of here.” Twilight said with a shrug.
“I think you’re forgetting something dear.” Rarity cooed. The confused look Twilight gave her was shared by everypony else there. “Not all of us here are disguised though it may not be much of a problem with them but for everypony else it would cause panic. So before we leave the rest of us need to change, so to speak.” Understanding expressions replaced confusion.
“Makes sense.” Dusk Shine said. “Any idea where Rainbow Dash went?”
“No I hadn’t realized she left.” Rarity said beginning work on the rest of the mares, herself included.
“Ah think perhaps Morning Storm is trying to live up to her special talent.” AJ stated picking up one of the two hats. A quick look and he tossed it over to Applejack. “This’n ere is yours.” Applejack gave an appreciative nod and set her Stetson on her head.
“Well once ya’ll over thar are done we should get a movin.” Applejack called picking through everything. “Grab yer part, an get ready ta leave the less time we spen’ ere the better.”
“Yes quite, I’ll grab Rainbow Dash’s things and head off now.” Elusive spoke levitating everything that he knew to be hers. “I’ll be off there are things that I need to do today.” Elusive waved and left.
“There all done now all that’s left is to wash off the residue.” Rarity said. “Well except designing the cutie-marks but that’s something I’ll have to do later.”
“That’s three missing I can’t find Pinkie or Bubble Berry.” Dusk Shine said looking around.
“Nothing to worry about they probably just left to get some water. We do need it after all.” Rarity confided. Sure enough not two seconds after she was done speaking both party ponies were laughing at their latest antic, drenching everypony present. Rarity had done her job well none of the mares looked like they had before, just that they were missing their cutie-marks made the disguise flawed. “Now what should each cutie-mark be hmmm.” Drawing a blank she stared at the others. “Any ideas?”
“How about a muffin for Fluttershy?” Bubble Berry chipped in. “You do know how to make them right?” A nod from Fluttershy and it was decided. With only a name left her disguise was done. Everypony after that began shooting ideas around about the other two. It took a few hours before everything was finished. Everypony was loaded with equipment and food. There wasn’t a reason to let all of it go to waste.
“Now that everything’s settled let’s go.” Dusk Shine said lifting both Rarity’s and his share.
Elusive was on his way back to the boutique with all of the equipment that was Rainbow Dash’s. The sun was bright with not a cloud in the sky yet, there was a storm planned for this afternoon. From the position of the sun in the sky Elusive guessed that it was about eight o’clock. The weather team was already gathering and collecting some clouds. Every word they said he could hear.
“Hey that new mare isn’t helping and she’s even got storm in her name, seriously!” One of them called out.
“Hey, she also has morning in her name, the storms set for the afternoon she probably already knew that. Besides she was up before any of us. Dived into the river with the light of dawn. Sun came up after she did.” A second one chided.
“Excuse me but do either of you know where she is at this time.” Elusive called up to them.
“Yeah I do, she’s relaxing in a meadow just north of Ponyville. Why?” The first one answered.
“Ah well she’s staying with me currently and I just wanted to know if she had breakfast yet.” Elusive answered before trotting off. The second pegasus hailed him with something he didn’t exactly expect.
“Lucky colt, I wish she was my marefriend instead of yours ah well take her someplace nice will ya. A looker like that deserves it.” Elusive gave that statement a thought before a small smile appeared on him.
“Yes I’ll do just that.” Elusive spoke more to himself than anypony else. The first thing he decided was to set everything down at the boutique. After that was done he cantered off in the direction that was given to him. Leaning up against the sole tree in the meadow Elusive felt his stomach flip and his heart flutter at the sight of Morning Storm curled up napping in a patch of daises under the sun’s rays. As much as he hated to disturb her his mind was set. Walking over to her he nudged her cheek with his muzzle. “Wake up Rainbow Dash or Morning Storm which ever you prefer.” He whispered in her ear.
“Huh oh it’s you. What time is it?” Morning Storm asked with a yawn.
“Almost eight thirty. Time you get some breakfast if you ask me.” Elusive smirked as he continued to whisper. Morning Storm stood up yawning all the while. She looked away in embarrassment when her stomach grumbled. Elusive couldn’t help but chuckle at this. “Come on let’s go.”
“It’s Morning Storm.” Morning Storm mumbled as they made their way back towards Ponyville.
“Hmm oh yes thank you.” Elusive muttered back. Instead of heading to Carousel Boutique like she expected, Elusive had led her to one of the more fancy restaurants in Ponyville. The waiter greeted them and in no time at all they were looking over the menu. Another waiter came over just as they put them down.
“And what will you have this fine morning?” He asked using his horn to levitate a quill and pad.
“I’ll have the cinnamon hay sticks.” Morning Storm said with a slight smile.
“I’ll take some sliced apples, and to drink, strawberry lemonade for her and for me a glass of orange juice please.” Elusive said with a quick nod to the waiter.
“Right away.” The waiter took the menus and left.
“How did you know about my drink?” Morning Storm asked with a curious look on her face.
“I just assumed that since you and Rainbow Blitz are so much alike that you would also enjoy the same kind of drink. He loves strawberry lemonade especially in the morning.” Elusive answered with a patient tone. Morning Storm nodded. The waiter came soon after with their orders leaving without saying a word. The two ate their meal in silence.
“Oh shoot I don’t have any bits on me.” Morning Strom hissed.
“Not to worry I’m paying this time.” Elusive waved a hoof dismissing the idea that she pay anything. The waiters and the waitresses at the restaurant were incredibly efficient and professional, bringing the check to them just when their little conversation ended. Without any hesitation Elusive hoofed over the bits as well as a generous tip.
“Thanks, I’m gonna head to the boutique and get settled in.” Morning Storm fluttered over to Elusive. What came next gave him a shock, leaving him standing there like a fool. She leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. “See ya.” Elusive touched his cheek with a hoof a distant gaze on his face.
Fluttershy was walking along next too Bubble Berry as they cleared the edge of the Ever Free Forrest. They had nothing to say, well, she didn’t anyways and quietly listened to the ranting of the pony bouncing beside her. All the others had been faster than them in leaving being the last to leave didn’t so much bother her. They passed Butterscotch and Twilight who was now masquerading as Moonletters at the moment as they tended to his many animals. “Hey we need to think of a name for you before we get to Sugar Cube Corner.” Bubble Berry burst through his previous rant about something that Fluttershy believed was flora.
“Um actually I’ve already thought of something.” Fluttershy said paying little attention to Bubble Berry instead waving a hoof at Twilight who had waved at her just prior.
“Really? Great! Don’t tell me I want it to be a surprise.” Bubble Berry said before launching back into whatever topic he was on before. The two continued on their way with no further distractions. It wasn’t long before Sugar Cube Corner loomed over them. “Well let’s introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Cake.” Bubble Berry burst through the door with Fluttershy cowering behind him. Both the Cakes were behind the counter working diligently to satisfy all the customers present.
“Oh Bubble Berry your back and who is this with you?” Mr. Cake asked, at least Fluttershy assumed it was him. He looked the same except with Mrs. Cake’s coloring. Bubble Berry stepped aside to grant them a clearer view of Fluttershy. Everypony’s attention turned to the russet brown mare with a mane and tail of bright yellow that Bubble Berry had brought with him.
“Um I’m Floranectar.” Her soft voice had won the stallions in the place over but the mares weren’t taking things so easily.
“She’s gonna be staying in the spare room.” Bubble Berry informed the Cakes as he bounced into the kitchen.
“I’ll work here if that’s an issue.” Floranectar muttered. All the stallions were definitely eccentric about the idea but Mr. Cake had the same idea as Mrs. Cake if the glances they shared were to mean anything.
“Oh no dear we couldn’t live with ourselves if Bubble Berry’s new marefriend had to work. He may not be our son but we like to think he is.” Mrs. Cake said with a small smile. This small statement had Floranectar blushing strong enough that it could be seen through her coat clearly. The grumbling of many of the pony’s present was cut short when a crash came from the kitchen. The Cakes and Floranectar rushed to see what had happened. What greeted their eyes was Bubble Berry upside down with his back to a cabinet, pots and pans everywhere, and flour covering nearly every surface there was. He wore a goofy smile as they stared at him.
“Oopsy?” While Mr. and Mrs. Cake just sighed and shook their heads, Floranectar was next to him Bubble Berry before his mouth even closed.
“You’re not hurt are you?” Seeing as she was close to tears Bubble Berry did the only thing he could think off. Which to be specific was to give her a comforting hug. She had other ideas and took things farther, leaning in and giving him a kiss. The strained coughs and occasional clearing of a throat interrupted the two. Floranectar broke away even more embarrassed now then earlier, Bubble Berry turned a bright red.
“What I tell you, I won’t even consider having her work. Now Flora dear why don’t you come with me and I’ll show you to your room.” Mrs. Cake said with a gentle smile. She was the only pony that was unfazed by the show of affection.
“Thanks but I do want to help.” Floranectar murmured soft enough that the only one who had herd was Mrs. Cake. In response Mrs. Cake only nodded.
The sun was past its zenith when Maidens Apple stopped to wipe her brow. Pinkie Pie was inside with Grandpa Smith making todays lunch, for when half of today’s sector was bucked. She had been welcomed easily enough but Pinkie Pie not so much. It was killing her to lie and with Aj also lying for her both of them were going through the same thing. At the very least Rainbow Blitz wasn’t trying to blow their cover so that was a bonus, he just didn’t help with the apple bucking. She was starting to wonder if she could goad him into actually working instead of lounging around on that cloud all day watching her.
“Blitz if ya’ll are just gonna lie thar an do nothin then do it somewhere else it’s startin ta creep me out.” Maiden called up to him.
“I don’t have to do anything you say.” Blitz countered.
“More like ya couldn’t.” Maiden sneered up at him. Blitz was instantly on his hooves and shot down to her level.
“What was that? I can do anything you can and do it better.” Blitz spat in Maidens face. This earned a smirk from her.
“Prove it.” Those words were all it took in a flash Rainbow Blitz rocketed towards the barn coming back in a mere four seconds with a cart harnessed to himself.
“Let’s make this a contest, whoever gathered the most apples by lunch wins. Winner decides what the loser must do and for how long.” Rainbow Blitz spit into one of his hooves. Maidens smirk became a full blown grin. Spitting into her own hoof smashed it into Blitz’s.
“Yer on.”
Two hours, with Rainbow Blitz actually doing work, the hundred acre area they were meant to clear that’s all it took. Red Gala stood next to Grandpa Smith both had their mouths hanging open. Aj just shook his head at the spectacle. Maiden and Blitz were arguing over who had gathered the most, their respective harvests next to each other. Applebuck was counting out each one. His job continued for the next half hour.
“Looks like Maiden won by two apples. Too bad Blitz, better luck next time.” Applebuck announced joining his brother. Blitz had a look of shock while Maiden’s face showed nothing but contempt.
“Well I am a pony of my word. Do your….” That was as far as he was able to get before Maiden tackled him to the ground and pressed her muzzle to his in a forceful kiss, passionate, but forceful.
“Eww.” Applebuck gagged reeling back. Red Gala smiled as did Grandpa Smith. Aj cleared his throat loudly. The two broke apart, Blitz was in a daze while Maiden showed no signs embarrassment. The fact that she wasn’t as red as Red Gala was a miracle in her opinion with her stomach doing pirouettes and her heart racing faster than the stallion she just kissed could fly. Seeing Red Gala the first time had nearly made her heart stop. No matter how hard she had tried she just couldn’t picture Big Macintosh as anything but a stallion, after seeing Red Gala she nearly forgot just what her brother looked like. The red mare was pretty, well actually pretty would be insulting she was downright stunning, beauty that she knew Rarity would be jealous of.
“IT’S READY!!”
“GYAAAHH!” Applebuck nearly jumped onto the barn roof. A pale yellow pony with a dull teal mane and tail had come from behind and shouted in his ear. “Aj who’s this?” He asked curiosity replacing fright. Having been with the other crusaders at the time when they had arrived missed out on the introductions, getting to know Maiden when running smack dab into her out in the orchard.
“Hi I’m Sugar Crumble nice to meet you.” Applebuck got swept up into a bear hug as Sugar finished speaking. The crumble that she had just made landed on the picnic table set out earlier that day, having been thrown off her head when she started squeezing Applebuck. Steam was visibly coming off the treat.
“Ya out done yer-self this time Sugar, it looks mighty tasty.” Maiden chirped licking her chops.
“Dive right in.” Sugar Crumble responded cheerily. Dive in they did, Maiden could of swore she heard Aj say something under his breath, she wasn’t the only one Blitz apparently heard as well, giving him a wink and a hoof gesture. Everypony almost collapsed after the first bite. The crumble made their knees weak, one of them manage to croak how good it was with grunts of agreement from the rest. With every last crumb gone in under a minute, Sugar was ecstatic about how well it went.
“I can’t believe it was so good I was experimenting with that one. I’m gonna have to remember the recipe.” Sugar chided bouncing all the while.
“Aj can Ah talk to ya alone?” Maiden asked looking back over her shoulder.
“Yeah be thar shortly.” Aj called. When the two got out of earshot of the others she turned to look him strait in the eyes.
“Correct me if Ah’m wrong but did ya’ll say that ya wished that she had made that just for ya?” Maiden interrogated him with a glare that could split stone. Aj merely nodded. “Ah thank Celestia Ah heard that right.” She visibly relaxed quite a bit.
“Uh weren’t ya just angry at me?” Aj asked taking a step back.
“Ah would have been had ya said no. She likes ya a lot Ah can tell, if ya had broken her heart Ah would have been mad.” Maiden answered with a slight smile and a hardened glare.
“Oh um yeah.” Aj was rubbing the back of his neck with a hoof clearly out of his comfort zone.
“Now that Ah know ya do like her, ya’ll ‘ve got ta make the first move with ‘er.” Maiden told him with all seriousness in her tone. The confused look he gave her made her roll her eyes. “Go ta her and show some affection ya dolt. Hug her, nuzzle her, kiss her on the cheek or where ever, it doesn’t matter. Ya got ta be strait forward with that un.”
“Ya mean do what ya did ta Blitz.” It wasn’t a question.
“Now ya don’ ‘ave ta go that far, Ah mean she’d like it, just be gentle with ‘er she aint as strong as we are.” Maiden muttered now the one rubbing the back of her neck. Their conversation came to a close with neither comfortable in saying anything anymore.
“Ah guess we should head back.” Aj suggested.
“Yeah.” With Aj leading the way back it came to no surprise that everypony was waiting for them.
“Ya sure about this?” He whispered when they got closer.
“More than Ah’ve ever been.” Maiden whispered back. With a sigh and a determined grunt Aj walked over to where Sugar was standing without the characteristic smile. Looping one fore hoof around her, he pulled her into a kiss. Sugar Crumbles shock faded almost instantly, wrapping both fore hooves around his neck she leaned into the greatest moment of her life.
The sun shone through the window causing a glare to land right in Rarity’s eyes. The clock said four in the afternoon, but to her it felt later, much later. She shielded her eyes as she continued to climb the stairs. A gentle smile graced her lips as she levitated Barbara into her basket, it felt natural like she was tucking in Sweetie Belle back home. The smile was replaced by a grimace. She had to go back, Sweetie Belle might have managed to convince somepony to let her stay with them, probably Big Macintosh or the Cakes. Now Rarity wished she had a chance to talk to her sister before she left. They had left of on a rather strained moment. The last thing she had said made Sweetie Belle cry, that was the last time she had seen her before their departure. It had broken her heart to see that, made even worse now that she truly regretted her words. With no way to say just how much she loved and cared for her sister, it was starting to take hold of her entire being.
Barbara reminded her a lot of Sweetie Belle. Except that when Dusk Shine had brought her here she had seemed shocked before shrugging it off. It took a little bit for her to get used to the caramel coated pony, even longer to stop staring at the dull yellow mane and tail both having white and orange highlights. Rarity backed out of the bedroom shutting the door as quietly as she could. A sniffle escaped as she descended to the library’s main room, trying with all her might to choke back sobs. Pain and regret shown clearly on her face, something that Dusk Shine didn’t miss. “Silk Seams?” He asked worry ladled throughout his tone. When she didn’t respond he tried again. “Rarity?” This time she looked up with another sniff. “Come here.” There was no annoyance in his voice no sigh, only sincere concern. Though she didn’t know why Rarity did just that, falling flat on her haunches the moment she reached him. Dusk reach a hoof out lifting her head to look her in the eye. “It’s about your sister isn’t it?” Worry shone through his eyes shattering her resolve. Throwing herself into him Rarity wrapped her forehooves around his neck, burying her muzzle into his shoulder as she started to cry harder than ever before. Dusk Shine pulled her closer with one hoof while stroking her mane with the other. They stayed like that until the sun was lowered and night set in.
“I shouldn’t have left without letting her know just how sorry I am.” She managed through sniffs, puffy red eyes looked deep into Dusk Shine’s. Streams of moonlight shone on both faces, without any thought or hesitation they both leaned in and shared a soft heart felt kiss.
Shadows danced and flickered in time with the candles flame the two locked in a silent dance. Moonletters was lying down with her hooves tucked in, leaning into Butterscotch’s side. Her quill raced fervently across the paper lining out the names of stars and constellations. After helping him take care of all his animal friends Moonletters started to sketch the night sky, Butterscotch had sat next to her pointing out what constellations were which and the lore behind them. They had come inside when she had started to shiver from the nightly breeze. Butterscotch helping correct any mistakes she made had eventually evolved into the state they were at now.
It was getting late and her fore hooves were starting to cramp. Stretching them out Moonletters let out a yawn. Crossing her hooves Moonletters got back to work. Apparently Butterscotch also thought it was late and couldn’t keep his eyes open any longer. His head came down on her fore hooves, his muzzle came to rest against her chest. Moonletters couldn’t help but smile with his breath rustling her coat. Setting down her quill she rolled up the paper. Snuffing out the candle with her magic, Twilight laid her head down on his neck. She was still smiling as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, only after she had placed a kiss on the end of his nose.

uh... i'd rather have the 2 ponies that were the same be together but...kay its your story
793715 I thought about it but couldn't see the ending like that
Hmmm.
Pairings happening left and right. Interesting. Eager to see where this goes next.
The whole pairing line up seems so odd to me. Not that I dont like them or anything like that.
It just makes it seem so odd that virtually the same ponies differing only by gender would have different attractions. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Trixie_lolface_1.png
797973 I don't really know either it just seemed right
799015 I can agree to that one
the parings are... odd, but at least its something unexpected. I honestly thought you were just going to pair them with themselves but this is actually much more interesting cheers!
806512 just about everyone thought I was going to do that. I really don't know why isn't that called incest? Tankies
Uhm ok let me count AJ and Blitz, Elusive and Dash, Dusk and Rarity, Fluttershy and Berry, Twilight and Butterscotch, but, what about Pinkie?
822720 Pinkie and r63 Aj
Ohhh, ok, thanks for the heads up!
And how are we going to identify colt AJ to mare AJ?
