Waffles
The aroma of waffles enveloped her muzzle, as she lifted her eyelids and let out a long and tired yawn.
“Good morning Starlight. Making waffles? Trixie does love her waffles, so fluffy, and so delicious, and the toppings. Mhmphm. Though nothing can compare to the beautiful mare who made them.” Trixie winked at her.
Starlight groaned slightly, letting out a soft disgruntled sigh. “Trixie, you know I love spoiling you, but I couldn’t let you sleep all day. Don’t you remember our promise?” asked Starlight. Though she wouldn’t be surprised if Trixie forgot all about it. It was fine…
“Our promise to be the most powerful magic duo Equestria has ever seen? Of course I remember that, silly. Trixie would never forget the day we became the best of friends.” Trixie smirked, wrapping a foreleg around Starlight, and pulling her close.
“No Trixie, not that promise. Though I’m glad you can remember that much.” Starlight replied. “Today is…” she tried to give her a hint. “A special day for the both of us.”
“The day Starlight started teaching Trixie magic lessons?” asked Trixie, trying to remember. What was it? And why couldn’t she remember? This was important, and Trixie was scratching at her hat upon her head, trying to figure it out.
“No, but that was a good try. I’m sure if you keep guessing you’ll get it right eventually,” replied Starlight, as she hoofed over the plate of waffles with strawberries, whipped cream, and a little cherry on top. With syrup drizzling down off the fluff of the waffles themselves.
Trixie thought about it, as she dug into her breakfast. She wasn’t about to not savor Starlight’s baking. She really had gotten a lot better since her first cake. Oh yes, Trixie remembered all the times she accidentally set off the alarm in the castle, but this was delicious and full of flavor.
Starlight paused in thought. Of course she doesn’t remember. This was the day she told me she loved me, it was also the day I was a complete idiot by trying to bottle up my feelings. I’ll never forget that day for as long as I live, but it’s okay if she doesn’t remember.
“Hmm...is it the day that Starlight agreed to become my marefriend?” asked Trixie, after finishing another big bite of the breakfast she had made.
“That’s really close. You’re getting hot,” chuckled Starlight as she leaned over to wipe the bit of whipped cream that Trixie was getting over her muzzle. She was so excited about the food, she didn’t even realize she was making a big mess of herself, and they’d need to both clean up if she got whipped cream everywhere.
“Well, Trixie is always on fire, but that’s not what you meant. Hmm…” pondered Trixie as she thought about it. Not the day they became marefriends, but she was getting closer to the truth. Perhaps the day they went to Saddle Arabia? No that couldn’t be right either. She had to figure this out. She felt herself scrambling for an answer as she finished her last bite of her breakfast, wiping her muzzle with her forehoof and using her magic to produce a handkerchief to clean her face. wipe the little bit of whipped cream that got onto Starlight.
“Trixie doesn’t know and it’s bothering Trixie to no end! Ugh. Why can’t Trixie remember? Trixie remembers magic tricks like the back of her hoof, yet Trixie doesn’t know why today is special. Please tell me Starlight, my love. What is today?”
Starlight Glimmer chuckled, as she pulled Trixie close to her side, nuzzling against her cheek, and giving her a light peck on the cheek.
“Today is the day you told me you loved me, and it’s also the day I was a complete and big jerk to you,” explained Starlight, sighing.
Trixie’s eyes lit up, at the sudden realization. “Oh, well. I didn’t know we were celebrating that. Starlight should have said something sooner! Breakfast in bed is the least romantic way we should be spending today. It needs to be grand, something super, something amazing and spectacular, and worthy of the love Trixie feels for Starlight!”
“Trixie…” began Starlight, shaking her head. “Not everything has to be spectacular to be amazing. The best gift you can give to me today is just being together. You and me, no distractions, no magic, just us.”
“Well, that sounds sorta boring. Is Starlight sure that’s what she wants?”
“Well I suppose if you want, we can celebrate later tonight.” she winked suggestively towards her marefriend. “But right now, I just want to cuddle my marefriend and not have to worry about anything else.”
Trixie grinned mischievously, licking her lips at Starlight’s comment. “Oh, now that is exciting, Trixie supposes she can do nothing for now. But just so Starlight knows, Trixie will be sure to make the most of the evening’s light.” she giggled. Trixie clapped her hooves together, as she let out a whiny of delight, smiling genuinely towards her marefriend.
Starlight smiled deeply as she lidded her eyes, and let out a soft sigh of relief. This was nice, just the two of them. No magic lessons, no weird villains trying to take over Equestria, and the two of them could truly enjoy some peace and quiet. All in all, she was glad she met Trixie in the spa that day, she had become so much more than just her best friend, she was also her lover, and the mare of her dreams. She couldn’t envision a life without her in it, even if her reactions were a bit dramatic and over the top, but that just made her love her more. After all, she was far from perfect herself. There was always something new to learn. New friends, new friendship lessons, and new ways to help other ponies like her. Right now though, all she wanted to do was enjoy her bonding time with Trixie, with no interruptions.
