Chapter 26 - To Breathe
“Let's go over this one more time.”
“For Luna's sake Silver, we've tried a dozen times tonight alone and we're no closer to figuring this out.
“Humour me.”
Spark and I were pacing around our favorite spot on the balcony of the Crystal Empire. We were trying to figure out how we had connected to Twilight's dream.
“Fine. We first heard Twilight's voice while she was talking to Tirek in her dream. It was quiet at first but it got louder when she became distressed. Then the balcony door changed outside of our control. When we walked through it, we were in Twilight's dream.”
“Right. So what did we do to trigger the connection?”
“We opened the door, that’s all. If anything, Twilight triggered the connection with us by calling for help.”
I flopped down on my recliner and put my head in my hands.
“It couldn't have been her,” I grumbled. “She knows she isn't a dreamwalker; Princess Luna is the only one that exists in Equestria. Luna help us if it was something else facilitating the connection. Or worse, something trying to get into one of our minds.”
Spark flew over and landed beside me. “I hope not and it’s not like we’ve seen any signs of mental attack. This could be an incredibly beneficial ability if we can harness it. We could help our friends have better dreams and face their nightmares. So what have we tried so far?”
“Every attempt to visualize a door to our Fluttershy and Sunset's dreams has failed. The doors appear but they go nowhere. The problem is, we thought Twilight was part our dreamscape when we walked through so we probably missed some important cues. The other possibility is our range is limited.”
“Maybe. I still think we're missing a critical detail. I think it’s time to compare notes with Sunset.”
“Ok. Let's throw in the towel for tonight and focus on other things. I'm going to head inside and practice my Taekwondo. It's interesting that practicing my martial arts in here seems to make me quicker in the real world.”
“You're probably smoothing out the reflexes and your mental acuity. The benefit must be all in the mind but it won't make us stronger. I'll keep flying so we're ready if we really get to go to Equestria.”
On that less than ideal note, Spark and I refocused our attention on relaxing and getting through another long night.
Sunday, November 20, 2016
I pulled up in front of the Sweet Shoppe just a few minutes before eight. Getting up this morning had been incredibly easy and left me plenty of time to get everything organized. Everything I needed for today was in the trunk of my car, out of sight under a blanket. Even better, the day was only overcast but expected to clear later. Sunset walked out of the shop before I could even get out of the car. She was balancing a box of pastries and two large coffees while carrying a small sports bag over her shoulder. I quickly got out of my car to help.
“Good Morning Sunset. Let me help you with that,” I said, taking the two coffee cups for her.
“I'm glad you grabbed those before disaster struck,” she said as she dropped the box on the roof of the car. She spread her arms and spun around like she was modeling high fashion. “Is this going to work for today’s mysterious excursion?”
Sunset was dressed in a simple pair of worn blue jeans and a stained purple sweatshirt. Instead of her usual boots, she had a pair of worn running shoes.
“It should do the trick,” I said, nodding with approval. “I threw a spare jacket in the car for you, just in case. We'd better get going since it's going to be a bit over an hour of driving.”
Sunset raised her eyebrow at me and crossed her arms. “Where are we going Silver?”
I opened the passenger door and looked at her with a grin on my face. “Why, on an adventure, of course! Do you trust me, Sunset?”
“Absolutely!” She replied without hesitation as a smile spread across on her face.
Sunset threw her bag into the back and hopped into the car. I handed her one of the coffees and then got in the driver's seat. I took a sip of my coffee before starting the car and pulling out onto the road. I looked in the rear view mirror just to see if I was being followed. The road was empty and nobody was even nearby when we entered the highway.
“At least this time we aren't trying to escape from our friends,” I said in a wry voice.
“Did you even tell them we were going out on our first date today?”
“No, I didn't. Today is just for the two of us. I think our friends all needed some rest to catch up on life after this week. I just really wanted to spend some time with you.”
She nodded and looked down at what she was wearing. “You realize it feels really weird to be going on our first date dressed in these clothes. Usually, I'd dress to impress.”
I smiled without looking over at her. “You've already captured me with far more than just your beauty, Sunset. Trust me, you'll be much happier dressed like that today. I promise.”
She giggled. “Your silver tongue has been a bit out of control lately. It's going to get you into trouble at school if you're not careful how you use it.”
“I’ll be careful but I think you overestimate my appeal,” I replied. “I doubt I’ll have that much trouble.”
She snorted. “So says the sweet talking martial artist. Trust the girl who controlled the school using social manipulation. You’re going to attract interest from at least a couple girls. I’m particularly worried about the ones that might want to hurt our relationship.”
“Fair enough Sunset,” I replied. “I’ll try to stay out of trouble.”
She looked out the window. “I know you will. Just don’t be afraid to talk to me.”
“Deal.”
I returned my focus to the road as we flew down the highway towards our destination. About halfway to Eugene, I took the junction that would take us west into the mountains. Fifteen minutes later we were on a narrow two lane highway surrounded by a wall of trees that had lost most of their leaves for the winter. In some places they were so tall and close to the road, they created a tunnel that blocked out the sky. Occasionally we would pass small communities and driveways leading up to hidden homesteads.
“Every mile is a new experience today, Silver,” she whispered out of the blue. “Every twist in the road takes us somewhere I’ve never been before. I hope we can come back up here again in the spring when the trees have leaves again.”
I glanced over at her and saw she was relaxed. She had a small smile on her face while she watched the scenery roll past.
“Consider it done, Sunset,” I replied. “I hope you like our destination today as much as you’re enjoying the journey.”
The smile faded a bit. “I never dreamed of traveling when I was in the orphanage. Once I became Celestia’s student, my only focus was making her proud. I never went anywhere and like I told you, I haven’t gone far since I arrived here.”
I put one of my hands on hers. “Well, today is a day for new experiences, Sunset.”
Sunset squeezed my hand. “As if we don’t already have enough of those with all this magic we’re dealing with.”
“Yeah, I desperately need a break from that. My attempts at replicating the dreamwalking have been frustrating.”
“That bad?”
“It's like beating my head against a brick wall,” I grumbled, taking my hand back and putting it on the wheel again. “Spark and I have gone over everything we can remember from stumbling into Twilight's dream. The problem is we weren't paying attention at the critical moments because we thought it was our own dream going haywire.”
Sunset nodded, “That does leave you casting blindly doesn’t it? Have you completely cleared your mind?”
“Well yes, the Crystal Empire is quiet.”
She laughed at my response. “That’s not a clear mind, Silver. You’re still inside of a dream you crafted from what you told me and a part of your mind will be tied up maintaining it. Twilight’s mind was probably screaming for help during her dream. You need to clear everything away to the simplest state you can imagine. I believe you mentioned you fell into star filled void when you first began lucid dreaming. Going there would be a start.”
I almost forgot about that. It sounds like it might help, Silver.
Agreed. Tonight?
Done. Ask her about the distance issue.
“Spark thinks you might be on to something. We also wondered if there might be a range limit on our ability.”
“Well that’s easy enough to test, I’ll just stay at your place tonight,” she said. Then a giggle slipped out of her lips. “We’re just doing this all wrong, aren’t we? We haven’t even kissed yet and I’m planning to sleep over at your place again.”
I laughed. “Nothing about our relationship will ever be normal anyhow. I wouldn’t have it any other way Sunset, even if Rarity is going to have a fit when we tell her about what we did this weekend.”
“True. Though I think she’s going to flip more when I tell her what I wore,” she said gesturing down at her old clothes.
I laughed. “I think she'll forgive you when I tell her that's what I asked you to wear. She got to choose your outfit for our zeroth date, so she has no room to complain.”
Sunset giggled. “Zeroth date. That’s a perfect name for it.”
We drove through the town of Florence about forty minutes later. It was a small, sprawling town bordered by a river on the south side. We zipped through town and across the bridge at the south side of time. On the other side of the bridge, I turned off the highway and onto a quiet access road. Before I knew it we were pulling up into a parking lot at the base of a grass covered hill. There was a sandy trail leading up to the top and there was a light coating of sand on the concrete parking lot. We both got out of the car and I took a deep breath.
“So Sunset, have you figured out what’s on the other side of that hill yet?”
She looked almost overwhelmed. “It's the ocean, aren’t we?”
“Are you ok?” I asked, worried about her reaction. “I didn’t make a bad choice did I?”
She looked over at me with a nervous smile. “I’ve never see the ocean except in pictures. I don’t know what to expect.”
I went to the back of the car and pulled out a backpack hidden under the blanket, put the box of cinnamon buns in and slung it over my shoulders. Then I held out my hand to her. “All we have to do is climb that hill and you can see it for yourself.”
Sunset hesitated for only a moment before taking my hand. Side by side we walked up the narrow trail, stumbling a bit as the sand settled under our feet. When we reached the top of the hill I wrapped my arm around her waist and looked out at the view. The grass became sparser, giving way to a dry sandy slope leading down to miles of beach and the shore. Only a few salt bleached logs marred the perfectly clean shore. The only signs of human presence were a couple warning signs and some footprints on the sand that vanished when they reached the flat of the beach, washed away by the previous tide.
The waves were crashing in onto the beach steadily, filling the salty air with a dull roar that was somehow relaxing without being overwhelming. The ocean was a steely grey-blue color that was occasionally broken by small white caps as the waves were stirred by the wind. We stood in silence just watching the wave’s crash onto the beach.
“It’s beautiful,” she finally whispered, leaning in against me.
I felt relieved that she was happy and I leaned my head on top of hers for a moment. “Come on. Let’s go down there and stretch our legs.”
We half walked and half slid down the dry sandy slope of the dune and made our way out to the edge of the ocean soaked beach. We walked south along the shore for a while, just at the edge of the high tide line. After a few minutes of walking, we found a nice spot that was slightly sheltered from the wind. I sat down and started untying my shoes.
“What are you doing?”
“Come on; take your shoes and socks off Sunset,” I said playfully. “Speaking as someone who grew up near the ocean, I believe you’ve missed out on an important experience.”
“What experience would that be?” she asked, raising her eyebrow at me.
“When was the last time you actually felt young?” I asked in a more serious voice. “Like, really and honestly young? Sure we're both in high school but I’m starting my own business and I'm going to have to pay property taxes in the spring. There is nobody in my life that will make sure I'm fed, the bills are paid or any other adult things. You’ve spent six years focused on your past and trying to survive in a new world. Today, none of that matters. We're teenagers and today, I want to feel like one.”
She immediately flopped down in the sand and untied her shoes. Then I helped her roll her jeans up to her knees and did the same with mine. I took her hand in mine and we walked down towards the breaking waves. The sand was cold between my toes and our feet sank slightly into the damp sand as we got closer to the water. We crossed the line where the waves were reaching and followed the retreating water down the beach.
“It’s so squishy!” Sunset said, wiggling her toes in the wet sand.
“It is, isn’t it?” I said with a grin on my face. “Here comes the wave.”
Then the next wave broke and flowed up the beach, splashing against our ankles.
“Ack! That water is so cold!” she gasped. “My feet are sinking into the sand!”
I laughed and pulled her towards the water. “Yup, that’ll happen! Come on!”
For the next half hour, we ran along the beach dodging the waves and splashing in the shallow surf. It didn't take Sunset long to loosen up and let go of the tension we both carried every day. We were free to just be ourselves in a place where nobody would harm or disturb us. We were laughing, carefree and careless as we ran along the beach, dodging the waves. Sometimes we had to run from the larger waves that threatened to flood the entire beach but we were laughing all the while.
I stepped back a bit and took a few photos of Sunset running barefoot through the edge of the surf. I marvel at how beautiful she was when she was truly relaxed. Her hair was slightly mussed by the wind, there was a bit of sand splattered on her shirt and she wasn't wearing any makeup that I could discern. None of that mattered because it was the sparkle of happiness in her eyes, the relaxed shoulders and the surprisingly carefree laughter that shone through.
Finally, the cold water started to get to us and Sunset was starting to shiver. We were still having fun but it was time for a break. An idea popped into my head. I ran over to her and before she could protest I scooped her up into my arms.
“Oh my goodness, Silver!” she gasped in surprise.
“Gotcha!” I laughed. “Time to get warm my dear.”
Smooth Silver. Very nicely done.
I'd like to think so, yes.
I cradled my arm under her legs and around her back so she wrapped her arms around my shoulders to steady herself. I carried her up to where my backpack was waiting and gently set her down on the sun-warmed, dry sand. She immediately burrowed her cold feet into the sand and sighed contentedly. I sat down right next to her, opened my backpack and pulled out a thermos and two cups.
“Lady Shimmer, would you care for some tea?”
She laughed quietly. “That would be lovely, thank you.”
I poured her a cup of hot tea and the one for myself. She shifted to lean in against my chest and we sat there in the sun, sipping tea and listening to the roar of the ocean. I fished out the cinnamon buns and passed one over to her for a snack. She tore off a piece and lifted up into my mouth. I accepted the snack and felt a slight shiver run down my neck as her fingers brushed against my lips.
“I don’t think I’m going to be warm enough for more wading today,” she said in a relaxed voice. “We should save our next dip in the ocean for the summer.”
“Yeah, the water is way colder than I expected. Did you have fun at least?”
“Oh my yes!” she replied enthusiastically. “If it was warmer I'd be heading back down as soon as I finished this snack. Unfortunately, my jeans got a bit wet even with them rolled up. Good thing I brought a change of clothes.”
I nodded. “Yeah, I've got the same problem. So there’s a lunch packed in the car and there are a couple interesting places nearby we could visit this afternoon that doesn't involve getting wet.”
She bumped my shoulder with hers. “You did your homework I see. What did you come up with?”
“There’s a huge natural sea cave about fifteen minutes north that Sea Lions sleep in. Apparently, there's actually an elevator to go down so we could see inside. Also, a bit further up the coast, there’s a historic lighthouse we could go visit. Or we can wander around Florence and see what there is to see.”
Sunset looked at me and smiled. “You really planned this day out, didn't you? Let's go have a look at this lighthouse and have lunch. Once we finish our tea that is.”
“Not to mention drying our feet off,” I said with a grin. Then my phone started to buzz, indicating a text had just come in. I pulled it out of my pocket and stared at the message trying to understand what it was saying.
“Who is it?” Sunset asked curiously. I turned the phone so she could read the text.
There's a party in my dreams and you're invited Silver! Hope you two are having fun on your date!
We stared at each other blankly. Finally, I found my voice.
“Sunset, is it wrong that I'm terrified of what I'll find if I wander into Pinkie Pie's dreams?”
She shook her head. “No, not really. I studied her for months when I was trying to break their clique apart. She was horrifyingly unpredictable and she knows things she shouldn’t know. Twilight told me it was Pinkie who unleashed a completely accurate explanation of why she was at the Fall Formal. Apparently Twilight being a pony princess and the crown being an element of harmony came to Pinkie as a 'hunch'.”
My eyes widened at what she was saying. “Kind of like how we didn't tell anyone we were going on a date. Wait a minute. That happened before the dance? She didn’t have magic yet.”
Sunset turned to look me in the eyes. Her expression was deadly serious. “Fraid so.”
“Sweet Luna, that is terrifying.”
There are some minds that are inscrutable. Pinkie takes that to extremes.
No kidding. I'm glad she uses her powers for good.
She raised her eyebrows. “I've been meaning to ask you this Silver. Why do you swear by Luna? It seems to happen so naturally, I'd think you grew up with her as your household deity.”
“Spark and I haven't figured that out,” I replied simply. “Princess Luna did effectively patch my soul to save my life. Maybe she left a lasting impact on my subconscious. Similar to how I've learned some pony instincts and customs from Spark. For example, resting my head on yours to calm you down at the police station was meant to emulate the way ponies hug.”
“That is fascinating,” she replied, taking another sip of her tea. “I have to admit it worked. That that kind of embrace was pleasantly familiar.”
I smiled gently while I held her against me. “Anytime Sunset.”
“Oh! I almost forgot. There's something I need to show you.”
We had just arrived at the car to leave for our next destination. Sunset reached back seat to dig through her sports bag. Finally, she pulled her journal out of and flipped it open to the latest entry. The one Sunset wrote with me was visible and there was new writing below it.
“It's the response from Twilight. She replied just after you went home on Friday and you need to read it.”
Dear Sunset and Silver,
I hope this finds you and our friends well. I miss you both as well and I'm glad to hear things are starting to improve. I'll be here to help out where possible but I suspect you'll both do better than you think. Especially since you have each oth a solid circle of friends to support you.Sadly, I'm not going to be able to reply for a few days. There's a problem in an isolated part of Equestria that my friends and I have to sort out. I'm leaving the journal with Spike in case you need to open the portal for some reason. I still plan to be back in time for your Thanksgiving dinner but I've told Spike he can visit without me if we aren't back.
Lo Your Friend,
Twilight Sparkle
Sunset closed the book and looked at me with a worried expression. “Twilight won't admit it, but I'm beginning to suspect she has way more than a little crush on you. A unicorn has to be pretty distracted to make errors like that while writing with magic.”
I let out a long sigh. “Twilight really doesn't deserve to be so lonely after everything she's done for us. How bad do you think her situation really is?”
“She’s in a pretty tough spot,” Sunset replied. “I never considered the social consequences of being a princess. I suppose that’s why Princess Cadence kept such a low profile until after her wedding. Twilight was already a well-known figure before she ascended so she didn't really have a choice.”
“I wish there was something we could do.”
“There are a couple possibilities,” Sunset said in a reassuring voice. “For now we just need to get to know Twilight better. I'll admit, it was nice to be able to talk about magic theory with somepony again. I'll need to talk to her friends in Equestria at some point as well. Don't worry about it too much for now. I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.”
I started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot before I responded.
“Thanks for letting me know. Just let me know what I can do to help.”
“I will Silver. I promise.”
The afternoon flew by as we explored the area around Florence. We walked out to the lighthouse and had lunch sitting on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Another visitor was kind enough to take a photo of the two of us with the building and ocean as a backdrop. We decided against the Sea Lion caves and drove back to Florence to walk through the old town. There were all sorts of small boutiques and galleries that we wandered through just to see what was there.
Before we knew, the sun was going down. We found a restaurant that looked good and settled in for dinner. I had a seafood pasta dish and Sunset enjoyed a salmon fillet with roasted veggies and potatoes. We shared our meals, of course, laughing a bit self-consciously when we decided to feed the samples to each other. We finished up by sharing a slice of strawberry cheesecake that was absolutely divine.
It was dark when we left the restaurant to walk back to my car so we could start the long drive back to Canterlot. I reached down to take her hand and felt her finger intertwine with mine. My thumb ran along the back of her hand gently as we walked but we didn't speak until we were nearly at my car. Sunset released my hand and turned to look up at me.
“When we went to dinner a few weeks ago, that would have been a pretty good first date,” she said quietly. “Today has been a day I will remember fondly and I'm looking forward to our next date already.”
“I'm glad Sunset,” I replied. “I took a bit of a risk in not telling you my plan and I'm relieved it worked out as well as it did.”
“It was inspired,” she confirmed, her voice becoming sly. “There's really only one thing left that would make this date perfect.”
“What's that?” I could barely see the expression on her face in the dim parking lot. A couple nearby streetlights were the only illumination creating just a slight glint in her eyes.
Sunset laughed as she stepped closer and put her hand on the back of my neck. “You are so clueless sometimes, Silver. I love that about you.”
I couldn't resist as she slowly pulled my face down to hers. We were so close I could feel her breath on my lips. Our eyes met and I felt my stomach flip flop while time seemed to slow down. Those aquamarine eyes captured every scrap of my attention and wouldn't let me go. There was uncertainty in her eyes that didn't match the confidence in her voice. She didn't remove her hand from my neck but she stopped pulling and she seemed to be waiting for me. My mind was blank for only a moment before I got a clue.
Do it. Don't hesitate.
I felt a tingle of energy flowing through me as I put my hand on her back, sliding my fingers into her long, silky hair to support her and closed the gap. I thought I could hear both our hearts begin racing as we connected and my eyes drifted closed. Her lips felt soft as they pressed into mine, gently probing and exploring. Sunset’s kiss was tender and restrained and I responded similarly. The taste of strawberries from our desert was present on her breath and there was the faint scent of sea spray drifting off her hair.
Our free hands found one another and immediately the fingers twined together. The feel of her mouth pressing against mine was intoxicating as the kiss lingered for what seemed like ages. Finally, I felt myself getting light headed so I reluctantly broke the kiss and pulled away just a bit. I opened my eyes and looked into hers. Her eyes had opened wide and were glistening with affection in the dim light. I took a step and leaned one hand against the car to keep my knees from buckling.
“Wow,” was all I could whisper.
“Wow is right, Silver,” she echoed quietly, walking over to put her arms around my shoulders.
“My first kiss,” I said weakly. “I hope I never forget how that felt.”
“Your first one?” she whispered in an incredulous voice. “You must be kidding.”
“Swear it's the truth Sunset. I told you I hadn't ever dated before, right?”
“Well then,” Sunset said in wryly. “Our friends are going to wring my neck if they hear how good you are already. Nobody has ever kissed me like that before.”
I was surprised by her reaction. “Really? Not once?”
She sighed. “I never really had an emotional connection with Flash. It wasn't really his fault considering how I was using him but still.”
“No more on that then,” I said, straightening up and pulling her into a big hug. “Don't give it another thought So what next?”
“Let's head back to your place,” she said, breaking the hug. “I think I want to hold on to that memory for a bit.”
“Sounds good to me,” I replied. Then I let out a short laugh. “So, how about our next date? I’m free tonight if you’re up for a movie at my place, a soak in the hot tub and then an attempt at dream walking?”
The amusement in Sunset's voice was muffled as she spoke into my shoulder. “Are you asking me to stay over at your place already? Scandalous!”
I grinned. “More or less so than sleeping together before our first one?”
“Shush you!” She sniped, playfully pushing back from me. “It's less of course! So an hour of driving and then on with our second date.”
By the time we got back to my place, the plan to watch a movie had fallen by the wayside. We were both more worn out that we had thought when we left the restaurant. We just changed into our swimsuits and walked up to the hot tub. My wounds had healed, so I could finally have the soak I had been looking forward to. I slid into the pool right next to Sunset and put my arm around her. She leaned against me and we just snuggled in the hot tub.
We spent the next half hour chatting quietly about our experiences that day and what we might do for future dates. Other than a couple pecks on the cheek, we didn't kiss a second time. The first kiss had been something special. I had this feeling it would be better to wait until the time was right for a second one. I hoped Sunset felt the same way, and if not, I hoped Sunset would talk to me about it.
Sunset was the first to get out of the pool. She stood up and stretched on the deck. In the darkness, she was only a silhouette but even in the dim light, it was absolutely clear how beautiful she was. My breath was stolen from me yet again as I watched her.
“How did I get this lucky?” I whispered to her. “I know I keep saying that, but every time I look at you, I feel like this can't possibly be real.”
“I could say the same thing,” Sunset replied, relaxing and looking down at me. “Maybe that's for the best. I certainly prefer your modesty over a guy who thinks he's Celestia's gift to mares.”
I groaned and pulled myself out of the hot tub. “Ugh, no kidding. Listening to guys like that makes me sick.”
Before she could answer, I quickly called on Spark and ponied up. I wrapped my arms and newly grown wings around her in a big hug. I leaned down and gave her a light kiss on the forehead.
“I think we should go get some rest beautiful,” I murmured.
She giggled softly and rubbed her cheek against my wing. “I’ve missed wing hugs, they’re so soft. Just so you know, if I was a unicorn that spot would be near the base of my horn. It's sensitive, kind of like your wings are.”
“I wanted to do this at the beach but I had to resist the temptation because we were in a public place. Hopefully, we can continue this conversation once we’re asleep.”
“Lead on, Silver,” she replied. “I think that's a lovely idea.”

I felt like the date was a bit rushed somewhat, but not all that much. Though on the other hoof, it was nice to see Silver and Sunset's first date together go off without a hitch.
Dreamwalking is a relatively obscure ability, so I obviously don't know the limits and conditions it has.
I'm afraid that's all I've got for this chapter. The lack of action didn't leave me much to work with.
I predict poly-amorous relationships in the near future. But that might just be the shipper in me.

This chapter was adorable
especially when they kissed great chapter really enjoyed it 
anyway or will she date spark somehow hmmm very curious to me makes me really excited to find out cant wait for the coming chapters 
Now im really curious on what they are gonna do about twilight are they gonna let her in the relationship uh whats it called again when theres more then one girl in a relationship hmmm i forgot
7989604 - I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'll keep in mind that it felt rushed when I write chapters of this sort in the future. As far as dreamwalking goes, it'll be established as we go along but you could deduce some of the potential based on what we've observed from Princess Luna in the main series so far. Most importantly, it really does have specific limits and potential risks that are established in my notes.
7989684 -
Sadly, I must remain silent on this prediction. Still, I appreciate your interest! Thanks for reading.
7991463 - Thank you as always! What happens with Twilight shall remain to be seen of course. Just to answer your question, polyamory is a broad term for relationships between two or more people where all members have given consent.
