"I Only Wanna Be With You"
Song Prompt - "I Only Wanna Be With You," Volbeat
Rainbow Dash sat in the library-house of her marefriend, eyes wide as she gaped at the letter she found lying open on said pony’s desk.
She had come by for a surprise lunch with Twilight, but when she burst into the library, picnic basked in hoof, she was greeted by Spike. He said that Twilight got a letter from Princess Celestia and had to leave for Canterlot immediately. She then packed a bag and departed for the eleven o’clock train. It was now one o’clock. The train had come and gone with a certain lavender unicorn on it, and there was no way for Rainbow to catch it.
Spike had also mentioned that Twilight should be back sometime the next morning, so Rainbow asked if she could spend the night and surprise her when she would return home. Rainbow had spent the rest of the day lounging around the library, napping, and reading Daring Do.
She had just popped up to Twilight’s bedroom for a spare bookmark when she noticed the previously mentioned letter sitting open and inviting on Twilight’s desk, just begging, nay, praying for Rainbow Dash to read. Curiosity overcoming her, Rainbow closed the door and snuck over to read the letter that had dragged her marefriend away from a surprise lunch date.
To My Faithful and Most Dearest Student Twilight Sparkle,
I have just been informed that the High Council of Scholars and Magi have a recently vacated position amongst their ranks. I also happen to remember a certain young unicorn filly who dreamed of one day sitting on that Council ever since she began her studies with me.
I have sent a request for the High Council to see you as soon as it is possible. At the very mention of your name they shut down all other interviews and have all but began planning the acceptance ceremony. Needless to say, your reputation speaks for you!
Of course, you will have to leave your studies in Ponyville and return to Canterlot to be a part of this prestigious group.
I look forward to your return to Canterlot. I am very proud of you, my faithful student.
Fondest wishes,
Princess Celestia
Rainbow’s blood had run cold as she finished reading the letter. She could feel the tears begin to well up in her eyes as the realization of the situation began to sink in.
Twilight leaving Ponyville? No…she’s already gone. But she wouldn’t just leave without saying goodbye at least, would she?
The evidence around her spoke otherwise.
She must have been so excited that she left right away. She’s probably having tea with Celestia right now talking about her living arrangements…
Rainbow paced about the room for hours on end until her body finally gave up and she collapsed on Twilight’s bed, sniffling as the remnants of her tears continued their slow trail down her face, pooling into the blankets underneath her.
She inhaled deeply and sighed. The blankets and pillows still smelt of lavender, still smelt of Twilight.
What am I gonna do now? Was her last thought as she drifted into an uneasy sleep.
The next morning, Rainbow woke to the sound of the library door closing and hoofsteps pacing around in the living area downstairs. Instantly awake, she kicked the blankets off and ran downstairs, heart rising as she hoped to see a certain unicorn returning home…
And she was rewarded with the sight of Twilight Sparkle setting down her saddlebags and stretching, framed by the glow of the rising sun.
“Twilight!” Rainbow cried as she enveloped Twilight in an all-consuming hug, “you’re home!”
A little surprised, but nonetheless happy at the sudden appearance of her lover, Twilight returned the hug and giggled, “Of course I’m home Rainbow! Why wouldn’t I be?”
Releasing Twilight, Rainbow stepped back and scratched the back of her neck sheepishly with her hoof.
“Well, I came over yesterday for a totally awesome and unexpected picnic, but Spike said you went off to Canterlot after getting a letter from Princess Celestia, and then I found the letter open on your desk, and well, I thought…”
“Thought what Rainbow?” Twilight asked concerned, placing a reassuring hoof on Rainbow’s shoulder.
“Well, I thought that you were so excited about the whole council thing that you packed your bags and left…”
“What? Oh, Rainbow, no. I’d never leave you like that, at least not without saying goodbye,” she put her hoof under Rainbow’s chin to pull her face up to make her look in Twilight’s eyes.
She smiled lovingly and said, “In fact, the only reason I went to Canterlot right away was to tell Princess Celestia, and the Council, that I was honoured for their consideration but that I had to decline.”
Rainbow was pretty sure her jaw just hit the floor with an audible *thump.*
“Wha-? But why? I thought this was your dream!?”
“Maybe it was. But I couldn’t just leave Ponyville, leave the girls, and most importantly, I could never leave you behind. Can’t you see, Rainbow? I can’t really explain why, and I never knew that I could feel this way about another pony, but my only dream right now is to be with you. I don’t know how you did this to me, but I can’t imagine life without you in it.”
It was the sappiest thing Rainbow had ever heard another pony say to her in her life. Totally uncool.
…
Rainbow loved it. She hugged Twilight again, some tears still rolling down her cheek.
“Ya know, I was about to say the same to you. I was so scared when I found out you left that I wouldn’t see you again.”
Twilight nuzzled her, “Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.”

If you want a song out of your head, you have to replace it with another song. It's basic physics. Law of Conservation of Thought.
As for what song to recommend for the next chapter, I have no clue. I don't often listen to music with lyrics.
Well done. Have a moustache.

Nice chapter! Timaeus I must say, you are rockin this word prompted song prompt! (did I say that right?) Hahaha anyway, I must say... I have no idea what song I'd recommen for another... (Fireflies, Fireflies, Fireflies) MOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAR!!!!
That is... If you want to... 
ANYWAY! aside from all the OTHER stuff to say, I simply MUST say. These stories are all absolute perfect ideas for real multi hapter stories, or just extremely cute one-shots (more than 1000 words, silly pony) Hahaha, EVERY SINGLE one of these I'd follow just to read them as they played out, soooooo... More song prompts please! 
(Your too pro for this stuff...)
When I saw the title... I immediately thought of the band "Hootie and the Blowfish".
~Skeeter The Lurker
Lovely chapter. I would like to offer some advice on it. You should never use *actions* when writing fiction. In fact, the part I'm referring to's sentence is just fine without the asterisks around the word thump.
Can't wait for more !

Same here
I still recommend that song though
Comments! Must be replied to!
2271566 Well my plan kind of worked, but now I have the next song prompt stuck in my head *eye-twitch*
2271834
I'm really really happy you're enjoying it! I'm hoping to get another one of these up at some point this weekend. It just depends on how much work I get done.
2272864 ...would you shoot me if I say I haven't heard of that band until just now?
2273241 Good to know, thanks for the tip! This is also why I shouldn't try and finish up a chapter at 6:00 in the morning. I get my better ideas at that time, I'm just not coherent enough to type them out
2273579 If that's the case then I have some thinking/writing to do
Addictive song, isn't it? Vocalist used to be lead singer in a death metal band, then did this.
Poor Rainbow! She needs to learn that Twilight wouldn't leave without a reason, and not to worry when she does. Not her Twilight.
2284199 THE SONG HAS BEEN IN THERE RUMINATING IN THE BACK OF MY MIND FOR A WEEK NOW MAKE IT STOP AHHHHHHHH!!!!
Well, if Rainbow immediately knew that then there would be little drama for me to write on
These song based one-shots are very entertaining and well-written.
Keep up the good work!

That's always the best thing to hear when you're writing something. Thanks! I hope to get something up tomorrow, so stay tuned!
2306668 Google can do anything.
"Yes of course, my friend. I love this song. I first heard it in spanish class two years ago."
GOOGLE IS YOUR GOD, NOW!
2307926 Holy balls I actually did that correctly? I just guessed and scrambled at the straws of spanish class two years ago O_o
GOOGLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY GOD!
2307981 Well, I don't know if you did it correctly, and the accent marks missing probably screwed it up, but I was able to piece together what you WANTED to say from what Google gave me. Grammar's my bag, most of the time.
I'm pretty sure it said that you actually typed "I love this sing" rather than song, for instance.
"Sure, my friend! I love this singing. I heard it first in my Spanish class two years ago."
That's what it ACTUALLY spat out. Though it's slightly different if I do one sentence at a time, which I did the first time.
2307987 Huh...I was pretty sure that "canta" can be a noun meaning "a song" or a verb meaning "he/she sings." Google translate is just weird sometimes.
2308062 Well I don't speak spanish but some quick research... Canta is a conjugation of cantar, meaning to sing. The word you're looking for is cancion. I don't think Spanish actually has any words that can be either a verb or a noun. Latin languages tend to be pretty specific.
"Me encanta esta canción"
2308074 Ahhh yes, now I remember. Thank you for correcting me!
A one-shot love story inspired by metal music.
Hellyeah! That was a great one. Volbeat is one of the best bands of the modern metal scene.
Got any other metal songs inspiring you to write a new story?
