Today's Horoscope (Virgo): Your lucky color today is blue.
After School
After Music Club, Trixie approaches me. "I've learned that Rainbow Dash has a birthday coming up," she says.
"Yeah, on Saturday."
Trixie looks down at the floor. "You didn't invite me to perform," she says in an accusatory tone.
I grimace. "I...wasn't sure Rainbow would appreciate a magic show at her birthday party as much as Pinkie would," I say. "And, well...I've been dealing with a lot of stuff lately. I honestly didn't even think about it."
"I see," Trixie says.
"Do you want to come to the party?" I ask. "As a performer or just as a guest? We'd be happy to have you."
Trixie sniffs haughtily. "Trixie does not beg for invitations to parties," she says.
I sigh. "Trixie...really, I'm sorry. Look...between having the flu, and tennis, and Twilight and I moving our relationship to the next level, and other stuff..." I shake my head. "If I've offended you or insulted you, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I've just...had a lot on my mind."
Trixie gives me an appraising, thin-lipped look. Finally, she sighs. "I guess I just didn't think about what you might be going through," she says. "I still have a lot to learn about this whole having friends thing."
I laugh. "Don't we all..." I shrug. "So, you wanna come to the party? We're having barbecue."
"Sure," Trixie says. She then tilts her head. "Now what was that about you and Twilight?"
Crap!
The Aspiring Social Link of the Moon Arcana has reached rank 8!
Your power to create Personas of the Moon Arcana has grown!
"Uhh..."
Trixie smirks. "Trixie's amazing mystic senses tell her...it happened on the night of the Fall Formal, did it not?"
I stare at her.
Trixie laughs. "I saw that dress Twilight Sparkle was wearing. I even got..." She blushes. "A fairly good look at her breasts. Trixie is...somewhat jealous."
"I didn't know you swung that way."
"I don't!" Trixie insists, stomping a foot. "I just became...momentarily confused!"
I laugh. "See you Saturday."
Evening
"Hey, Rainbow, Trixie's coming to your party on Saturday," I say at dinner.
"Oh?" Rainbow asks. "Another magic show?"
"As a guest," I say. "Though I imagine she'll be willing to do a few tricks, if you want."
"Hmm...nah," Rainbow says. "Maybe. I dunno. I guess having her around would be cool, though. She's not so bad."
"If you want, I'm sure I could talk her into jumping out of a cake," I say.
"GAH!" Rainbow's face flushes.
Pinkie tilts her head. "You know...two girls with blue skin wrapped around each other would be...kinda trippy."
The others stop eating, eyes wide. Blushes creep up their faces.
"Oh my," Fluttershy says softly.
Applejack coughs. "That's uhh...that's quite th' mental image," she says.
"Leave me out of your sick, perverted fantasies!" Rainbow cries.
"Now now," Celestia says mildly. "Let's not tease the birthday girl."
"It's like this whole dorm is obsessed with sex!" Twilight says.
Pinkie grins. "This from the only girl here who's actually had—"
"NAKED CUDDLING!" Twilight interrupts loudly, face red as a tomato. Then, her eyes widen as she glances at Celestia. "Umm..."
Celestia smiles. "As long as you're cuddling responsibly," she says.
Twilight covers her head in her hands. "Good grief..."
"Oh, you needn't be so embarrassed, darling!" Rarity says, reaching across the table to pat Twilight's shoulder. "We couldn't be happier for you and Flash, really. You are, after all, an absolutely adorable couple!"
The other girls offer agreement with this sentiment. Twilight looks around, smiling. "Thank you all..."
I have to admit, having the girls all say Twilight and I are adorable together gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling...
