Where on earth are Twilight and Starlight?

Twilight Sparkle, Princess and Alicorn of friendship looked up suddenly from where she had been compiling her latest friendship report.

What had THAT been?

‘Twilight? Everything okay?’ Starlight, her student and friend asked, cocking her head, dark purple and cyan mane fall over her pretty face. She’d been working on some work of her own, theorems that Sunburst had sent her from the Empire.

Or at least, that’s what Starlight was trying to do in between getting distracted by how well Twilight’s perky boobs filled out her blouse. Starlight was pretty sure they’d been filling out recently…A result of Alicorn magic or maybe just too much of Pinkie Pie’s baking Starlight wasn’t sure.

‘I thought I just felt a…Did you feel a large amount of magic being cast just then?’ Twilight said, standing and walking around the room, horn glowing as she scanned the vicinity.

‘No?’ Starlight tore her eyes from Twilight’s cute ass, shaking away her lusty thoughts of the cute, very powerful and bookish enemy turned friend. The tall unicorn stood as well, following Twilight’s lead and casting her own scanning spells.

‘I’m not picking up any residual, but the tower is awash with background magic anyway…’ Starlight said, biting her lip and smoothing down her skirt in consternation.

‘You didn’t feel anything just now? It was…I mean…Maybe I imagined it?’ Twilight said, biting her lip, her eyes narrowed in an internal debate with herself.

‘No I didn’t sense anything but-‘ Starlight went on earnestly, ‘-You are much more magically attuned than I am and I was…um…distracted.’ Starlight gulped, eyes darting as she fiddled with the sleeves of her purple turtleneck.

‘Still puzzling over those letters from Sunburst? Don’t worry Starlight, you’ll get them! Do you want my help?’

‘No No! It’s fine-‘Starlight said, waving her hand dismissively before freezing as Twilight put a hand on her arm.

‘I know you’ve spent your whole life being independent Starlight but it’s okay to ask for help. You know I’ll do anything for you right?’

Starlight’s throat worked, her mouth dry at those words. They were touching, heartfelt and entirely platonic but she couldn't help the way her mind jumped to all sorts of “anythings” that Twilight could help with.

She flushed beet red, butterflies fluttering in her stomach and swore she could feel sweat pouring down her face.

Guh. She was a mess.

‘Well! We should probably get back to it!’ Twilight said, characteristically oblivious.

‘No!’ Starlight squeaked, she needed some fresh air and to clear her head otherwise she’d just spend all her time staring at Twilight’s sexy librarian body for another hour and get nothing done.

‘I need some fresh air, we should uh…check out that blip you detected! Just in case!’

Twilight blinked before shrugging and stretching in a way that Starlight found very appealing.

‘Sure! You’re right. We should take a break.’

Soon enough, the two of them were walking through the massive halls of the tower, doing a few errant magical scans but mainly making their way to the kitchen.

‘I think Spike made some pastries before he went gem hunting this morning. There should be some left over.’

‘Where is Spike anyway? Is he still out with Rarity?’

‘Hm! I’m not sure! It’s not been that long though. We’ve been studying for what…and hour or two?’

‘Twilight. We’ve been in that room for almost four hours.’

‘Really?’ The alicorn mused, stroking her chin, ‘I must have been really into it! Why didn’t you say anything?’

‘Oh! Heh, I didn’t want to stop you when you were on a roll.’

Translation. ‘I lost track of time myself staring at your cute lips, perky boobs and beautiful eyes…’

‘Hey Twi…’ Starlight started hesitantly, a lump rising in her throat as she played with the hem of her skirt again. ‘I was-‘

*CRASH.*

The resounding sound of cutlery falling was accompanied by a flare of magic. One that Starlight picked up on this time. Also, the sound of someone being caught in a plate avalanche was also pretty noticeable.

Especially given the swear words.

It didn’t sound like Spike…

Gripping the door in her magic and with a determined look on her face, Twilight flung open the door.
