Today's Horoscope (Virgo): A wise man once said: "Love is all you need."

Early Morning

I wake up to the bizarre sensation of something warm and squishy in my hands. All I can see in front of my face is Twilight's hair.

I give what I'm holding onto a tentative squeeze. Twilight stirs and shifts around. "Quiddit," she mumbles sleepily.

Memories of last night stir in my still-asleep brain, and I realize I'm squeezing Twilight's breasts. I slide my hands down to her bare stomach, lightly tickling her. "Wake up, Twilight," I say.

Twilight flails around a bit, twisting around to face me. "Knock it off," she says.

"I gotta get up and get ready," I say. "Tennis today."

"Oh, right," Twilight says, suddenly fully awake. She sits up...then looks down at herself and blushes. "Oh..."

I take a moment to enjoy the sight of my girlfriend's bare breasts. I'd love to just sit and stare at her all day, but... "You know, the other girls will be getting up any minute now, if they're not already." I cup her breast in my hand and kiss her nipple. "I don't think you want everybody seeing you come downstairs like this."

"Eep!" Twilight's eyes bug out. "What do I do, what do I do?"

"Calm down," I say. "I've got plenty of T-shirts in the closet. Just grab one, throw it on, and sneak downstairs."

"Right," Twilight says. She rushes over to my closet and grabs a random T-shirt, throwing it on. Then she takes her dress out of the closet, picks up her shoes off the floor and her crown off the desk, and throws open the door. "See you at breakfast!" she calls as she sprints down the hall.

I shake my head and get my things together for a shower.

When I head downstairs for breakfast, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, and Pinkie are all at the table. As one, four sets of eyes turn and lock on me, matched by four wide, scary grins.

Twilight hides her face in her hands and shakes her head.

"So? How was it?" Pinkie asks.

"How was what?" I ask.

"You know," Rainbow says. She stands up and bucks her hips back and forth in a rather lewd manner. "That. With Twilight."

"What!" I look at Twilight, then back at the others. "We didn't!"

"Yeah, right," Rainbow snorts.

"Protest all you like, darling, but when Twilight came down to our floor holding her dress in one hand and wearing one of your T-shirts, well..." Rarity smirks. "It's not hard to figure out."

"We didn't do...that," Twilight says. "I've been telling you that all morning!"

"Yeah, we did NOT do...that," I agree.

"Look, we're happy for you two," Pinkie says. "If you wanna screw each other's brains out, that's your business. You don't need to be embarrassed or pretend you didn't—"

"We didn't!" I insist. "We just, y'know...cuddled."

"Yeah, we cuddled," Twilight agrees.

Pinkie gives us the single most evil, smug look I've ever seen on a person's face. "Naaaaaked cuddling?"

"Yes! Naked cuddling!" Twilight shouts. Then she lets out a squeak and covers her mouth. "Eep."

"I heard naked cuddling," Cadance says suddenly, rushing into the room. "What'd I miss?"

"Naked cuddling, apparently," Rarity says.

"Darn," Cadance says, snapping her fingers. "Twilight and Flash?"

"Yep," Applejack says, smirking.

"Figures. Shiny nearly fainted when he saw you in that dress."

"I'm burning that dress," Twilight mutters.

"No!" I shout. Everyone gives me a smug look. "What? She looks great in it."

"And out of it, right?" Rainbow asks.

"Can we drop this, please?" I beg. "I need to eat breakfast so I can get down to the school. Gotta catch that bus to today's match." I decide to change the subject. "Where's Fluttershy?"

The girls suddenly look uncomfortable.

"She's...holed up in her room with her pet rabbit and Spike," Twilight says. "She won't talk about last night, but we all think something really bad must've happened to her."

Cadance looks alarmed. "How bad?" she asks. Quietly, she adds, "Not...rape bad?"

"Nah, nothing like that happened," Rainbow says. "Her dress wasn't messed up at all, and I...checked, just in case." She turns red. "Probably not the smartest thing I've ever done, that just upset her worse."

"Gee, Ah wonder why," Applejack says.

"Whatever happened to her, she's not talking about it," Pinkie says sadly. "Probably best to give her some space." She sighs. "Well, I better get to work. Good luck today, Flash!"

The others wish me luck. I head upstairs, gather my tennis gear, and rush out the door. I wish they were coming out to support me today, but everybody has stuff to do.

Daytime

Today's matches are long and exhausting. Our host city, Rainbow Falls, is experiencing an unseasonable heat wave. With all the practices and matches I've missed in recent weeks, I feel like I'm playing my personal worst today. Canterlot wins today's match, but it sure isn't because of me.

It's very late when the bus pulls up to Canterlot High...

Evening

Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack are watching television in the lounge when I get back. "Whoa, you look beat," Rainbow says. "How'd it go?"

"I lost, but Canterlot won," I say.

Twilight gets up, rushes over to me, and hugs me. "Sit down, I'll get you something to eat."

Applejack takes my gear up to my room as I collapse into a recliner.

A short while later, Twilight returns from the kitchen with a plate and a can of soda. "It's...leftovers," she says. "Is that okay?"

"Leftovers are fine," I say. Twilight made me a meatloaf sandwich with some carrot sticks on the side.

"There's more in there if you want more," she says.

"This'll be fine," I say. "Thanks."

As I eat, Twilight sits down on the arm of the chair and starts rubbing my shoulders. "Mmm," I say. "That feels good."

"Is the food okay?"

"Yeah, it's good."

"I mean, I didn't make it or anything, I just reheated it, and—"

"It's fine, Twilight." I smile up at her. "Really. Thanks." I take her hand and squeeze it.

Rainbow makes gagging noises. "Ugh, get a room!"

Twilight blushes. "I'm just being a supportive girlfriend!"

"Yes, you are," I say. "And I love you for it." I finish eating, then set my plate down on the side table and pull Twilight into the chair with me, wrapping my arms around her stomach and burying my face in her hair.

"That's it, I'm outta here," Rainbow says. "Later!" She heads upstairs.

"Her birthday's next Saturday, right?" I ask.

"Yeah," Twilight says. "We need to be ready..."

I crack a huge yawn. Twilight pries herself out of my arms and gets up, picking up my plate. "You should go to bed," she says. "You really do look tired."

"I really am tired," I say. I stand up, stretching. "See you tomorrow..."

Twilight heads for the kitchen with my plate. I go upstairs, shedding my sweaty clothes as soon as I've closed my door. I flop down on the bed, which still smells like Twilight, and in seconds, I'm asleep.
