Fluttershy's Crush [possible NSFW]

Background Pony #9386
“No.” Twilight said a little louder than she wanted. “I’m sorry, girls, but I have a lot of work.” She added when she began hastily collecting empty cups with her magic. She went to the kitchen, but stopped in the doorway.
 
“I was pleased to chat with you… By the way, Pinkie, where’s the party going to be? I hope it do not in my library?”

Rainbow Dash already had some ideas in her head from when they both glanced over the stressed state of Fluttershy from earlier. She was already looking to smooth out some of her friend’s mane with her own hooves. “Well, definitely need to get that bounce in your mane and tail again.” she suggested. “Feathers could use a little preening as well…eh, you know what?” Dash took a moment to show off one of her forelegs to Fluttershy as she brushed it with a hoof. “Time to show you my technique to make your coat 20% smoother! You’ll even have Rarity wondering how you pulled it off.”
 
Applejack snickered at Dash, her ears not believing what she was hearing at the time. “Okay, now what was that comment about you not being like Rares again?” she joked. “Plus when were you so into grooming?”
 
“Mmm…I say about after the first couple of shows, give or take.” she answered. “Also, ya might want to take care of that chest fluff - it’s looking a little rough.”
 
Even though there wasn’t much of a noticeable change in Applejack’s coat, the farmer still crossed her hooves over her chest in surprise. “Ain’t nobody told ya to look that hard…” she said to her. “Tell the whole kingdom, why don’t ya?”
 
Rainbow Dash made a sly chuckle as she gave Fluttershy a wink and a smile. “Looks like we’ll be going up to the party in style after all, butterfly%”
 

 
“Weellllll, actuaaalllyyyyy%” the pink pony started off, giving Twilight a cute and innocent smile as she crossed her front hooves behind her back. Her body language was like one of a filly, looking to talk her parents into something they would normally disapprove of. Pinkie would possibly carry that child-like coyness well into old age with how well she had the technique down to a tee. Even the bright eyes were a nice touch. “I was wondering if it was possible to just borrow the library for tonight? I mean you don’t have to, but it would really, really, really make my da~~”
 
Spike managed to cut off Pinkie Pie’s words just in time. “Erm, uh ~~ actually we can arrange a space for you for the party, Pinkie!” Spike said to her, holding his hands up before her to get her attention. “I’m sure there’s someone here in Ponyville can help out with the venue…maybe Vinyl Scratch can lend a hoof to you!”
 
This got the baker excited with a wide-eyed gasp, instantly pulling Spike into a tight hug as she squeaked out in delight. “Eeeeiiiiiihehehe! Spike that’s the best idea ever!” She gave him a quick kiss to his forehead before prancing around the room in her usual playful fashion. “This party is going to be my best one yet!”
 
Spike found himself stretching his back as the hug from Pinkie Pie was like a vice grip around him. “You’re welcome…” he grunted, rubbing his scales. “Geeze, was that strength from the rock farm or when she gets that excited?”

“Ahh yes. Vinyl Scratch would more than likely have you covered, Pinkie. The setting, the lighting, the music…well, if I can really call it that.” Her mind tried piecing together which of the DJs’ modern sounds, she had heard in the past, really classified as music in her opinion. “I would figure, wherever you decide to have this party, you would have to inform everypony about these new planes. I would have thought you would have already had a place ready and prepared?”
 

 
She faintly blushed from the attention she was getting. “Oh my. I knew you were an expert when it came to wings,” she gently fluttered her wings, feeling how ruff they felt as the swept up, “but coats? I wouldn’t have thought you were the kind of pony to know how to.” She said so in a surprised manner, then quickly realised how mean her comment may have sounded. Fluttershy gasped, placing one hoof over her mouth. “O-oh, no. I-I mean…well, I don’t know how to! I usually have Rarity help me with that. I didn’t mean that as a insult or anything…sorry.” She lowered her self down on the couch, the same way a dog would after being told off for being naughty behaviour.

Twilight struggled to get her dragon back. Pinkie thought it was a game and the pony started tug-of-war, in the role of which Spike spoke.
 
“Yes, yes, a great idea. You all need to prepare for the party. Rarity, I do not know how to talk more tactfully, but maybe you should do a hoofdicure.” Twilight gave the white unicorn a look. And she pushed her to the front door. “Pinkie do not you need to warn Vinyl about the upcoming party?”

(Hey. Just to let you all know I’m sorry if replies been slow from me. It’s been some busy days.)
 
“Oh! Right, I do!” Pinkie said in a perky tone, her ears twitching in excitement. “We better get there right away! C’mon, Rarity!” Before Rarity could even get a word in, the baker managed to get hold of the unicorn and carry her off to Vinyl’s home. “If Octavia’s there too, you two can help with the tunes! Ooh, this is gonna be one stylish party%”
 
After Pinkie and Rarity left, Spike once again found himself alone with Twilight, who which he looked up to while he was still in her hooves. “…well, guess one party out of a dozen wouldn’t be too big a loss…right?”  

 
Rainbow Dash shook her head with a coy smile on her face as she gave Fluttershy a gentle pat behind the ears. “You’re fine, Flutters.” she said to her before snuggling her close, their cheeks brushing against each other. “I can’t be mad at someone as cute as you.”
 
Applejack herself was wearing a coy grin of her own as she stood by, taking in the scene for her own eyes and was thinking of ways she could take another verbal poke at Rainbow Dash. It didn’t take long for the blue pegasus to notice.
 
“…you’re just jealous.” Dash said, teasingly.
 
“And you two are just adorable%” AJ said in jest.
 
That was enough to get Dash’s cheeks warm as they were pink. “Am not!” she said in a flustered tone. “I’m anything but adorable!”
 
Applejack gave Dash a wink in response. “How about cute, then?”
 
The pegasus gave the earth pony a pouty look as her feathers fluffed up in frustration. “You’re such a butt, AJ.” She snuggled Fluttershy even closer to her as she got into a fussy mood. “Fluttershy, tell AJ to stop being such a butt!”
 
Applejack chuckled yo herself as she moved over to Rainbow Dash to give her a hug. “Aww, c’mon now sug.” She said as she ruffled Dash’s mane in her hoof. “No sense in denying the truth about ya.”
 
“Whatever…” said a still pouty Dash. “…I’m still gonna say you’re jealous.”
 
“I’ll let you taste test my first batch of cider if you cheer up~”
 
“…okay, maybe not jealous. You’re brushing out Fluttershy’s tail, though - you lost your mane care privilages by calling me ‘cute’!”
Background Pony #FB82
(That’s okay. Same goes for me. I’ll try to be more active now.)
 
“Ahh yes…Octavia knows how to produce real music. Um…do you mind, Pinkie Pie?” She flailed her legs as Pinkie carried her, approaching the roommates’ home.
 

 
Fluttershy’s cheeks lit up while Rainbow cuddled her. She felt very awkward and didn’t know what to do but just sit there. She blinked as Rainbow came closer to her. Her feeble wings slowly lifted. She had some excitement in her that she struggled to hide. Her lips remained sealed after being mentioned. She rested her head down while her two friends bantered with each other.

Twilight breathed a sigh of relief as her friends left her house too hastily.
 
“Yes…” She was embarrassed that she was his act caused trouble to many ponies. And this party… The guests will say how they searched for Twilight all night until morning. There will be accusations again. And Fluttershy will come to the party. “In the street there will be chocolate rain, if I do not come.”
 
Twilight did not fully understand her feelings, and trying to talk quietly to Pegasus was a huge mistake. She needs advice from an adult. The one to whom she could trust her greatest secrets.
 
“Because I have free time” The unicorn checked the list of cases for the day. “do you want to go to Canterlot, Spike? I need advice from Cadence… on her specialization of work.”

(Hey, I say take your time. At the least, between the three of us, we at least keep it alive. ^^;)_
 
Pinkie came to a skidding halt as Rarity reminded her of the fact she had hooves on her own to walk on. Wearing a sheepish smile on her face, she settled the seamstress down with ease and apologized for the sudden burst of action. “Oopsie-doodle~” she said to her as she innocently folded her forelegs behind her back. “Guess I got too carried away…or rather you got too carried away, eh?” She gave Rarity a nudge and a wink as she emphasized on the pun she made, already knowing at the least it will get her an eye roll from the seamstress. This is Pinkie Pie, however - she always finds a way to be playful in even the most tense of situations.
 
As luck would have it, Pinkie’s playful nature had landed them not too far from the house of Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch. At this time of day, the usual sounds of loud and thunderous techno and dubstep would be roaring from within the shared home, the rest of the surrounding town’s only safe haven is that the house was soundproofed enough to where any noise in that house is muffled. However, something was different…from afar, the tunes were soft, melodic and inviting to any curious ears. It gave Pinkie a chill through her body as she shivered with delight.
 
“Ooooh-ho-ho-hoohhh, that is not my Pon-3’s jam…” Pinkie said aloud. “But I can hear hi-hats and kick drums…what’s~~??”
 
Pinkie suddenly gasped as she noticed a few ponies outside of the home, some of them being familiar faces from Octavia’s side, some being from Vinyl’s and a few others not recognizable from a distance. It gave Pinkie Pie a bit of suspicion, pulling out a deerstalker cap from her tail to place onto her head. “This looks like something we need to investigate.”
 
As the two mares drew closer to the home, the music grew in clarity. You can hear the sounds of a bass guitar and harps dancing on a wavy tune. The environment surrounding it brought a welcoming chill to anyone curious enough, yet exotic just enough to feel new and refreshing. It was like walking into a jazz lounge that was hidden deep away from the prime streets of Canterlot.
 
And then they heard it ~~ the melody that was pouring out of the home of Scratch and Melody: :https://youtu.be/xw_4EzbaTaw:
 
At the same time, it seems like Spike’s own suspicions was on its mark. “I did suggest this from the beginning.” he chimed, wearing a coy smirk as he shrugged his shoulders. “But sure, I’ll come with you, Twilight. Seems like whatever’s pressuring you could use the hand…er, hoof of a someone with more experience.” The dragon stands straight to attention and gives Twilight a salute. “Either way, I’m on board, captain. To the Crystal Kingdom!”  

 
Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash had noticed the sudden silence from Fluttershy shortly after she struck a deal with Applejack, backing off of her friend as she felt something warm around her…or rather, off of her.
 
“Hey, Flutters…um…” she started off as she rested her own hooves in her lap. “Not to make this anymore fuzzy-dubby and all, but you’re getting kinda warm.” She smirked as she glanced over to Applejack, who was left clueless as to what Rainbow Dash was talking about. “You can blame her for it, if you want.” the pegasus said with a smirk.
 
“Oh, don’t you start ya flirt.” said the farmer as she bopped Dash with a throw pillow. “You’re the one talking beauty tips n’ all…speaking of, mind getting the brushes for us?” AJ took a moment to feel around in her mane and under her hat for a moment. “I might have dun left my own comb at home this time.”

Twilight laughed heartily for the first time in a day. Her eyes again looked at the checklist, but the rest of the items could be postponed for a day. Or two.
 
“The captain orders to prepare the air balloon for the flight.” The purple unicorn said about herself in the third person and laughed again. “I have not used it for a long time.”
 
Spike looked faithfully into the eyes of his pony and was glad that he managed to cheer up Twilight. The air balloon was stored behind the barn Applejack and lift it into the air will be a minute affair.
 
Long flight Twilight was going to spend usefully, to understand her feelings. Come up with some words to express a request to the princess of love.

(Ah, alright. That work’s perfectly - thanks!)
 
Spike thought Twilight was kidding when she mentioned the hot air balloon they once rode into Ponyville, seeing at this point she had more than one way to get to the Crystal Kingdom. He couldn’t help but to wear a smirk on his face as they took too the skies. “I didn’t even think you even kept this around, Twilight.” he said to her. “Though, this may take a bit of a while to get there. Maybe we should have taken the train, instead?” There was a brief pause in his thoughts as it crossed his mind. “Then again, seeing as you’re apart of royalty and all, I guess a low profile would be necessary…”
 
Regardless of the matter, the two were well on their way to the Crystal Kingdom, soaring high above the land where they can nearly see the entire kingdom. Even though Spike has taken flights quite a few times beforehand, seeing Equestria from such a distance was still an amazing sight for the dragon to see. Of course, if gravity was his friend, he would never have to worry about falling down.
 
It was then that a thought crossed his mind as they neared the kingdom. “Hey, Twilight…” Spike asked the unicorn, looking up to her. “…do you ever feel pressured to love?” He was nervously rubbing his arm as he spoke to her “Not sure where I’m getting that idea from, but I’m just wondering if that’s even a thing…n-nothing to do with you and Fluttershy, of course!”
Background Pony #9386
Long flight took them most of the day. Twilight had enough of time to ponder the request to the princess. When the balloon approached Crystal Kingdom the air getting colder. A small kingdom in the permafrost from the air was noticeable for many miles. Magic shield around the city missed the ponies and the dragon inside and met a warm.
 
“Yes, somehow I fell in love with a pony. It was in high school and he was missing.” Twilight spoke and continued to walk along the crystal clear streets. “Only surely he died more than a thousand years ago, because Star Swirl was the teacher of Princess Celestia and the Princess Luna.”
 
“You understood what I meant. And I know about your obsession with the great magician.” Spike said. He sat on the back of a pony and held on to her mane just like in the good old days. “You and Flutter-”
 
“I would not need the help of a princess of love if everything were simple.” The unicorn quickly interrupted his assistant. “We came.”
Background Pony #FB82
The white unicorn fell silent as she felt charmed by the unique sounds of music, becoming more clear as they both trotted over the home. “Wow, just… my word. What a lovely piece of art.” Her ears perked up. She scanned her surroundings to see where such beautiful music was playing from.
 

 
Even Fluttershy felt some confusion to what Rainbow was talking about. She could only blush some more from all the attention she was receiving. Applejack, Rainbow Dash and pretty much all of her friends where usually the ones getting all the attention for their actions, achievements and overall personality; Fluttershy was always left in the background as a spectator, which never offered her. The fuss she was getting now was overwhelming and out of her comfort zone, but at the same time, it was a little refreshing.

The moment Twilight announced their arrival into the Crystal Kingdom was the moment Spike looked over the edge of the basket to take in the view. It was just as breathtaking as the first time, with the afternoon sun beaming down upon the castle high above the grounds. The way everything and every one in the land sparkled was temptation to Spike. That, or he was starting to hunger again after eating thee rest of the leftover crystals.
 
“Oh boy…maybe we can get Cadence and Shining to get a snack ready for us while we’re here?” he suggested.
 
Meanwhile, the couple of the Crystal Kingdom seemed to have their hooves tied into a heated moment. So much the sound of clashing and thrashing of metal could be heard in the banquet hall. It seems they were in quite a heated fight…
 
“I really wish you’d wear some kind of armor when we’re fencing.” the princess grunted as she took her swing of her rapier. “What if I end up stabbing you?”
 
…or they could just be practicing their fencing techniques for the next time Chrysalis shows up.
 
“Pfft! As if!” Shining said in confidence as he was repelling his wife’s swings. “I didn’t get the name ‘Shining Armor’ just because it sounds cool. I’ll be fine!” He managed to swing his rapier around Cadence’s blade from the next stab, pushing it right to the base of her own sword as he got close to her. He was wearing a confident smirk on his face as he bumped noses with Cadence’s mask. The mare could only sigh and give him an eye roll as she pushed away from him.
 
“Well, alright.” she said to him as she took her stance. “Just don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
 
As she got prepared to make her next strike against the incoming Shining, it was then one of the palace guards quietly entered into the hall. The pegasus whistled to himself as he witnessed the speed, accuracy and finesse of both the prince and princess fencing between each other. “Quite the ballet between you two.” he said to them as they passed by him. “But I must interrupt your session because I have important news. Twilight Sparkle and Spike the Dragon has been sighted arriving in the kingdom.”
 
It was then the two stopped in their tracks, facing the guard in surprise. “Twily’s here?” they both said in excitement, being that a couple of months has passed since the last time they’ve seen her. “Well, where is she?”
 
The guard took a moment to clear his throat before answering. “She appears to be landing in the east quadrant as we speak. We’re already ensuring that she comes to you both in good hooves.” He then pointed to Shining Armor as his face turned a bit sour, as if he witnessed someone taking a nasty fall. “Also, you may want to get yourself fixed up beforehand.”
 
Shining looked confused until he looked down at his chest, noticing Cadence’s sword stabbing clean into him. “Huh…well, guess you were right about the a-” His words where cut short as Cadence let out a frightening scream to such a sight. If it wasn’t for his protective ether keeping him from bleeding out, she would have screamed a lot worse. It didn’t make her any less upset, though.
 
“For the love of the gods, Shining!” she screamed as the mare pulled on her husband’s ear. “I told you this would happen one day! Now hurry up and get patched up before Twilight get’s here!”

As Pinkie and Rarity came to the front door, they were greeted by Vinyl Scratch, who was leaning in the frame of the front door nodding along with the tempo of the music. She glanced over to the two mares and gave them a wink as she lifted up her goggles to them.
 
“Okay, what in the flufflepuff is going on here!?” Pinkie exclaimed as she zipped up to Vinyl with a suspicious look on her face. “I don’t see no magic and you’re not at your turntables! And I need help with a party for tonight!”
 
Vinyl placed a gentle hoof onto Pinkie’s nose brushed it down to her lips, making a hushing sound to her before she pointed to who was on her deck. In silence, Pinkie’s jaw literally hit the ground as she witness none other then Octavia Melody on her DJ set, playing the soulful sounds from what seemed to be a new bit of equipment. It had a few knobs and switches at the top and sides of it, as well as a couple of crossfades for effects. Yet most of the sounds was coming from the buttons that Octavia was rhythmically pressing away with the tip of her hooves. Towards the end, she played with a dial to switch over to the next track, blending in seemly with the last*.
 
“Got an MPC a couple of months ago.” Vinyl said to Pinkie as she help picked her jaw off the floor. “When I showed Melody here what it could do really do, she wanted to try a hoof at it.” A sly grin formed on her face as she nodded her head in approval. “A few weeks down the road and she’s giving this DJ a run for her money~” As she leaned off the door to get onto her hooves, she invited Pinkie and Rarity to come inside. “C’mon - I’ll give you guys a front seat.”
 

 
As Rainbow Dash went upstairs, Applejack gave Fluttershy a soft nudge to her foreleg. She noticed that the pegasus was looking a little tense after Rainbow Dash was so close to her. “You do look a little flushed there, Flutters.” she said to her with a kind smile. “We’re not being too much for you, are we?”
 
*(for the track she switched to: “https://youtu.be/_c7c8_S-YQQ”:)
Background Pony #FB82
“Oh, um…” Fluttershy sat up, wrapping her tail around her legs. “I’m um, fine. You two are fine.” She nodded to her, then remained quiet while she waited for Rainbow to return.
 

 
Rarity couldn’t even form words to her amazement. She gave Vinyl a welcomed smile and headed in. Her views on electronic music had all suddenly changed while she saw her favourite musician performing such beautiful music. She glanced at Pinkie, then back at Octavia. She couldn’t believe what she was witnessing.
Four Tet
My Little Pony - 1992 Edition

Applejack could sense Fluttershy wasn’t as fine as she’d like to admit. And instincts would normally tell her to get the pegasus to be more honest with her. In this case, however, putting a pony like Fluttershy through such a persist wouldn’t benifit anyone. Thus, the farmer simply nodded, tipping her hat to the pegasus in kind. “Just checkin’.”
 
It was then that Rainbow Dash came back with a few brushes and combs in her wings, sliding down the rail of the stairs before hopping up to them. “Alright, girls…who’s ready to get pretty?” she said jokingly. “Nah, but for real, I’m sure Pinkie want us to look pretty good for this party, so we better shape up!”  

 
Octavia couldn’t really believe it herself, honestly. If any pony she knew would tell her she would be toying around with the idea of modern equipment to make such melodies years ago, she would be laughing in their face. Now, with a small crowd of her band mates and some of Vinly’s familiars, she was doing just that. Never did she think such worlds of music would ever collaborate in such memorable tunes until the moment Vinyl brought this beat machine home. She couldn’t be enjoying herself anymore if she was a filly again…
 
…that was until she saw Rarity in front of her, with Pinkie Pie shyly waving to her, just as taken aback with Octavia’s performance as much as Rarity was. It immediately caused her to blush and nearly fumbled on her performance. Luckily, Vinyl was already nearby to take over for a while. “Looks like you got some new fans, Tavi~” the DJ said to her. “I got it from here - I know the music enough.”
 
Octavia could only nod to her before she stepped away from the deck for a moment, giving both Rarity and Pinkie a bow. “Ms. Belle and Ms. Pie! I…” she said, sounding a bit nervous in her words. “I didn’t expect you two to be here. I guess this is a tad bit embarrassing to witness, isn’t it?” She was dressed more casually then her usual attire as she sported a black tracksuit top with gold trim and a simple white tee underneath. It was complimented by square panel hat of the same design she had on her head. “I can assure you I’m not under any spell or anything. I guess I got a little carried away.”

“Octavia.” Rarity started, scanning her juxtaposed clothing upon her sensible body. “That was spectacular music you were playing. I’m not one for the fine tastes of using electronic equipment to produce such noisy genres…but that was simply divine.” She glaired into her eyes like a desperate fanfilly.
 
She then took a step back and looked beside her at her pink bubbly friend. “Ah yes. Sticking to the task at hoof.” Her head nodded over to Octavia again. “The reason we came over here, other than investing that beautiful sound, was because Pinkie Pie is planning a party for this evening…better late than never. Anyhow, we’ll need the assistance of a musician: both of you that is. It goes without saying that you’re both invited to it too, of course.”
 

 
 
The yellow pony glanced up at Rainbow with a simple smile, nodding gently to her direction.

(Hoo boy, where did the time go? Sorry for coming so late with this - this past week has been keeping me on my toes…hooves…er, whatever, I’ve just been out of it for a while to continue. May have to start taking up other roles as well if that other background pony isn’t present…anyway!)
 
Octavia was at a loss for words for a moment, blushing through her cheeks as she held her hat over her chest. She gave her and Pinkie a most modest smile to the both of as she bowed. “I’ll be sure to wear something more proper to the party.” she said to them. “The outfit was Vinyl’s idea, honestly.”
 
“Keep it - it’s a nice look on you!” Pinkie chimed in. “But we’re more in need of help finding a place to host the party! Twilight says her place is off limits so I’m kinda in a bit of a crutch here.” She shook her head as she thought about it. “Not my best party planning for a party planner, huh?”
 
“Truly, but you’re not out of luck.” Octavia said to her. “The only reason we can have this listening party at our home is because a few of our neighbors are out of town. The rest are here. Sadly, our little cottage is too small to contain all of our guest.” She put a hoof under her chin as a thought crosses her mind. “There may be one tavern here that can help us out with hosting, her~~.”
 
“Ooooorrrrr we can just make it a classic block party with our my new mixer!” said Vinyl as she slid into view, putting a hoof around Octavia as she gave her cheek a kiss. “Matter of fact, how about a Rootdown Soundclash? Beat maker to beat maker!”
 
Octavia was startled a bit as she removed Vinyl’s hoof from around her. “Vinyl! I thought you were tending to the performan~~!” she stopped mid-sentence as she noticed the aura glowing around her horn. “Of course…musical magic.” she said with a flat tone. “But honestly, wouldn’t that be a bit much? I mean, I’m sure Ms. Pie would prefer to have it indoors.”
 
“Actually, a block party sounds like a swell idea!” Pinkie beamed as she snuggled both musicians in her hooves. “I can do the decorations, Pon-3 with the audio, and you with the tunes! This Twilight Sparkle Search-N-Rescue Success Party is going to be the best ever!”
 
Pinkie serenade Octavia and Vinyl by throwing out confetti and glitter from what seems like out of nowhere, with Vinyl nodding in approval. Octavia was still a little unsure of her being the main performance, however. She felt like this was more of Vinyl’s scene when it comes to parties like this. Not to mention her taste in music seemed more mature then the usual bouts of dubstep and hard techno…yet the other ponies around her were enjoying it quite well…and she’s yet to pull out all of her musical prowess.
 
“Actually, I think I can go along with this idea.” Octavia said in confidence. “But we have to go with a different outfit then this.” She turned to Rarity as she gives her a modest bow. “And I believe Ms. Rarity has the answer.”

Meanwhile, Twilight and Spike were greeted by both royal guards and citizens alike, with the guards of the Crystal Kingdom keeping the citizens at bay from crowding the two visitors. “Alright, make way for the guest of honor!” the would say aloud, their front hooves up and out to ease the crowd into a line. It seemed a bit much, however, seeing as the citizens of this kingdom were more cooperative and mindful then the ones in Ponyville. To the point where some were even stepping aside for Twilight and Spike to have a clear path.
 
“Jeeze, a bit much of a welcome isn’t it?” she muttered to Spike, who was already participating with the crowd as they pressed forward. “I mean, it’s just a quick visit…”
 
“A visit to a town we just saved a couple of months ago.” Spike replied, giving her a nudge and a wink. “Besides, this hero stuff is pretty nice! I heard they were even planning on giving us a statue in the future.” At that moment, he received a bouquet of flowers from one of the guards, who pointed to a mare who waved shyly to the dragon in his eyes. Spike returned the favor by bowing to the mare in the most formal fashion. “I say enjoy it while the moment is there!”
 
“And I say I rather just cut to the chase.” Twilight said as she quietly waved back to the citizens who greeted her. “Besides, if I knew I was gonna get this much attention, I would have just teleported right to them.” Her head looked straight forward as her eyes blinked in surprise, realizing she still had the option to do so. “Then again…hey, Spike! You think you can entertain the crowd for a while? I think I’ll be more comfortable doing a one-on-one with Cadence when it comes to this.”
 
“Wait, wha-WOAH!!” Before Spike could get in a decent reply, he suddenly found himself needing to land on his own feet as Twilight suddenly disappeared from under him in a flash, leaving behind a small bit of sparkling drops of magic in her place. The dragon took the time to dust himself off before sighing and picking up the bouquet. “Could have at least warned me first, Twi.” he muttered.
 
In seconds, Twilight appeared right where she sensed Cadence and her bother would be, greeting them both with a wave and a cheerful smile. “Big Brother! Cadence! How are…you?” Her greeting stopped when she noticed that Cadence was desperately trying to remove her rapier out of her husband’s chest, who remarkably still happen to be alive after such a clean stab. Shining Armor was doing as much as he could to pull it out of him while Cadence was trying to make sure it kept steady…until they both had to stop from the ear-piercing scream Twilight gave.
 
“BYTHEGODSWHATINTATARUSHAPPENEDTOMYBIGBROTHER!?” Twilight said in a hasty panic. “OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMY-!!”
 
“Twilight, I know this is a lot to take in…” said Shining as he grunted from pulling the handle out of him. “But I think it would be better off helping me get this out of me! My wife really got some powerful legs on her.”
 
Cadence rolled her eyes as she was having some success sliding the rapier out of him. “Thank you, but that compliment is not getting you out of this one! Told you that you should have worn armor!” The princess sighed and shook her head as she looked up to Twilight rushing over to help them. “I’m sorry you had to see this, dear. I love your brother dearly, but he can be quite the stubborn mule, sometimes.”
 
Twilight makes a sudden gasp as she lets go of the rapier, covering her lips with her hooves. “Cadence!” she said in shock. “Language!”
 
“Oops! Right, sorry…stubborn like a wall of bricks.”
 
“Much better.”
 
After a hefty session of reenacting Excalibur with Shining’s chest, a check-up and a bit of magical patching, the couple was able to give Twilight the attention she needed, opting to have a casual meet in a place more suited for Twilight’s environment.
 
“So much knowledge in this room…” Twilight said with awe as she took in the sights of the Kingdom Archives. “Every single book that has been out of print exists here…I could call this home~”
 
Cadence couldn’t help but to giggle as she sat with shining on a sofa, having a small treat after such an intense workout between the two of them. “We can arrange that, but then who will watch over the library?” she joked, offering a seat between her and Shining to share. “Besides, I’m sure you came here for more than just a mere visit. Right?”
 
It was then Twilight’s moment of wonder died off, Cadence reminding her the reasons she was meaning to come here in the first place. She nodded and made her way to the sofa, placing her forehooves into her lap before looking up to Cadence and Shining.
 
“Guys…how does one find someone to love?”
Background Pony #9386
(I’m very sorry, I completely forgot about roleplaying. Other background pony is back)
 
 
“No, I saw with my own eyes how the love between you two was born.” Twilight hurriedly added. “Cadence, how do you know that you fell in love with my big brother?”
 
The familiar and quiet atmosphere of the library calmed. The unicorn pricked up her ears and prepared to listen.
 
“I do not know if you’ll believe me, but for a long time I’ve been alone. After becoming an alicorn, I lived in Canterlot and gave my love to everypony around me. But I’ve never been in love.” Cadence sighed sadly. “And your brother, it was not love at first sight. At school, I was popular, more than once became a princess of the autumn ball.”
 
“I lacked the resolve to go to her and just talk.” Shining said, remembering that day. “I took a step forward and went to the pony that I like.”
