**Author's Note** So an important change is happening in this chapter! My story is going to have its first song! What would Equestria be without spontaneous, impromptu singing? But unless otherwise noted, I won't be writing my own songs. My character will use songs from his own world because it would be a reasonable assumption that ponies wouldn't know these songs. Certain parts of lyrics may or may not be edited to fit the story.

Author Jumps Worlds (MLP)
By Haunter Rayne
Chapter 21 - Tidings of Fate
Starlight bitterly grumbled as she walked off to a chair in the corner that Twilight was pointing to. The princess was fuming angry and was no longer in the mood for jokes or Starlight's antics. “Gee, I just got excited. You thought it sounded dirty too.” She mumbled under her breath. Sitting down in the chair she turned back so that she could still watch and listen to the conversation.
Now Twilight slammed her hoof down onto the table making the purple maned unicorn jump in her seat. “Alright Rarity! You tell me exactly what happened between you and Spike last night! And I mean every detail! RIGHT NOW!”
Twilight was looking so angry that she had Rarity feeling guilty even though she knew she was innocent of Starlight's accusation against her. “Twilight please, it's not like that! This is a complete misunderstanding. When I said exploded, I meant with that unknown wave of magic. Not in… in any other inappropriate kind of sense.” Rarity was so embarrassed at the moment that she could hardly argue a case to defend herself. Fortunately for her though, her friend did not let her down.
“I know.” Twilight said flatly.
“Y-you do?” Rarity said nervously.
“Yes Rarity. I just want the facts. But you're not who I'm mad at right now.”
Suddenly both Rarity and Starlight spoke out in unison. “Oh.”
But then a different voice spoke out, reminding the girls who had almost forgotten that there was still another individual in the room. “Um, excuse me. Can I ask something? When did I explode? Magically or in any other kind of way.” Spike questioned.
Rarity looked to him curiously. “What? You mean you didn't notice it at all?! But, but, the magic! It was filling the entire room!”
Spike just shook his head but then Twilight spoke up again. “Hold on Rarity. Look, just start from the beginning. Tell me what happened.”
Then over the next few minutes Rarity described in as much detail the events from the previous night while Spike nodded, confirming the events as he remembered them. “And then when I pulled away from the kiss the magic just sort of shot out everywhere through the walls. I don't know what happened to it after that.”
“Oh wow, I didn't see any of that.” Spike said astounded by the story Rarity had just told him.
His girlfriend smiled to him though saying, “Oh well darling, you had your eyes closed still at the time hehe.” She giggled remembering how cute he had looked after their first real kiss.
But Twilight was not as giggly in her mood. “Wow is right Spike. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Thank you for telling me this Rarity, I certainly don't think that anything bad will come of this but I have no idea what it could mean and Princess Celestia still needs an explanation.”
Rarity smiled and looked as if she were about to respond with something comforting to say but it was Spike who spoke up first. “Oh um Rarity, don't you think we should tell her about the other thing too?”
Now Twilight seemed shocked and yelled out, “Wait, there's more?!”
Rarity scowled a little bit but then raised a hoof waiting for Twilight to calm herself. “Yes, but one thing at a time Spike. I think Twilight's nerves more than deserve a little rest. And don't worry Twilight, it has nothing to do with the magic blast. We just had a few more things we wanted to discuss with you about Spike and I being a couple now.” She said sweetly, trying to mitigate the situation. “I assure you that it is of no immediate concern. Let us take care of the important details first. Why don't you have Spike help you write a letter back to Celestia so that she can know all is well. Meanwhile I can go to the kitchen and make us all a nice pot of tea. We can relax and sit together, continuing to talk as friends. Now doesn't that sound nice?”
Twilight took a deep breath and smiled. “You know what Rarity? That sounds like a great idea.”
With that, everyone nodded and Rarity climbed down out of her seat. She gave Spike a little hug and then told him she'd be right back. He picked up a quill and parchment as Twilight thought to herself out loud. “Uoooh, now I have to figure out the best way to explain to Celestia that my castle is harboring a new interspecies relationship that had created a tidal wave of magic with their love.”
Spike just blinked at her. “Uh is that what you want me to write?”
Meanwhile Rarity walked passed Starlight and motioned for her to follow. “Come on dear. Unless of course you enjoy sitting in the corner.” Starlight chuckled before standing up and following her friend down the hallway to the kitchens.
- Back in the Caves Adjacent to Ponyville-
“You know, this clock really is stunning. I can't believe the craftsmanship in it. I hope it wasn't too expensive for you.” Rayne called out to Maud as he was standing up beside the clock working to set the timer which had the controls hidden off to the side.
“I'm really glad that you like it.” She said placing a few things in a towel and walking off behind Rayne. “And don't worry about the price. I don't like to make a big deal about it but technically there isn't a lot in Ponyville that I can't afford.”
Having just finished with the clock Rayne stepped over to her. “Oh? Is that so?”
She nodded to him and pointed around at the cavern. “I live in a gem cave. Whenever I need to pay for something I can literally just pull money off the walls.”
“Oh wow, you're right. Another bonus then of living in such a beautiful place.” Rayne was careful to avoid any comments of realizing that she’s rich. He didn't want to give the wrong impression and was sure that Maud didn't want to be viewed in that light. “So, what’cha doing?” He asked seeing her lift some bottles in a towel.
She pointed down to the stream and mumbled between the towel that she was holding with her mouth. “Bath.”
Rayne smiled and gently offered, “If it's not too weird, may I join you?” He saw her smile and then used his magic to lift the towel for her so that she wouldn't have to use her teeth. Then they walked down to the stream together and he laid the towel down while setting out the soap bottles that she had prepared. “After you.” He said and watched as she stepped into a particular area that seemed to pool with slower flowing water. He followed her in and they both dipped down soaking themselves in the refreshing stream. Looking around though he noticed that there was a slanted rock that dipped right down to the water's edge. “Hey, come here for a minute. I'd like to try something for you. Come lean down over here.”
He watched as she stepped over and raised her hooves to lean against the smooth stone. Then he magicked some of the creamy soap onto a washcloth and started caressing up and down her back massaging into her fur. Maud seemed to become bashful for a moment telling him, “Rayne, I haven't had another pony wash me since I was a filly.” But he didn't seem to mind as he caressed over her shoulders and then rubbed his soapy hooves along her neck.
“Does it both you?” He asked. But Maud just shook her head. He started to hum to himself as he began working shampoo into Maud's hair. “Hmm hm hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmm hm hmmm.” He smiled loving how beautiful he found this mare to be and how intimate he could be with her. He leaned in close to keep her warm while he washed her and for a moment he allowed himself to be swept away by how romantic the moment they were sharing. “Hmm hm hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmm hm hmmm.”
With her eyes closed and with a blissful voice Maid whispered out, “That's really nice. What is that?”
Rayne suddenly stopped humming, snapping out of his daydream from an old John Travolta movie he had once seen. “Huh? Oh this? I have no idea, it smells like lavender though."
She softly laughed and looked back to him as he continued to scrub her mane. “No not the shampoo. I mean that tune that you have been humming. I like it.”
Rayne blushed feeling surprised. It had been an absent minded action on his part that he definitely wasn't expecting to get called out on. “Oh, it's just a song from where I'm from. The lyrics are a little sappy. But I'm really enjoying being here with you like this. So, it put me in a bit of a romantic mood I guess. I hope you don't mind.”
“Mmmm not at all.” She said as he was caressing her scalp while washing her hair. “Can I hear it? The lyrics I mean?”
Rayne chuckled but was no stranger to serenading a lover. “Okay. Just as long as you remember that I didn't write it.” He leaned in close so that he could sing softly while his hooves continued to wash her.
“I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles.
And the heaven's open every time she smiles.
And when I come to her that's where I belong.
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song.
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love.
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love."
At this point Rayne leaned her back and held her in his arms. He rinsed her clean and caressed her back before pulling her back up out of the water. Turning her around he soaped up the wash cloth again but she surprised him when she reached over to grab a second cloth and she also did the same. She smiled at him looking smitten as they both began to scrub each other's torsos together as he continued to sing.
“She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down.
Yeah when I come to her when the sun goes down.
Take away my trouble, take away my grief.
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief.
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love.
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love."
Rayne could tell in her eyes that she was feeling very seduced from being sung to like this. By the way that she touched him he could tell that she was certainly enjoying their bath together.
“Yes I need her in the daytime.
Yes I need her in the night.
Yes I want to throw my arms around her.
Kiss and hug her, kiss and hug her tight."
Rayne stole a kiss from her after each of the last two lines.
“Yeah when I'm returning from so far away.
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day.
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me whole.
Yes it makes me mellow down into my soul.
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love.
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love."
As he ended his song he smiled at her, rubbing his snout gently along hers while his last words left his lips. She kissed him immediately after it sounded like he was finished. Her arms went around his neck giving him the tightest hug he had received from her yet. She danced her tongue affectionately over his as she lifted her hips to lay back now on that slanted rock. Rayne could feel her pulling him over her and he had no problem with giving in. He held the sweet mare in his arms, happy to satisfy her desire for him to make love to her again.
- Back to the Castle of Friendship -
“Honestly Starlight, it was your own fault.” Rarity said as the two unicorns worked together in the kitchen. “I agree it was kind of childish making you sit in the corner but you were being a bit relentless. Are you really that interested in the affairs of Spike and I?”
“I'm not a pervert Rarity… but. I mean, is it really so ridiculous that I'm curious? You're dating a dragon. And you're even being romantic with him. I would have never even considered something like that before… but friendship is more important than my curiosity so I'd rather not ask if it would upset anypony.”
Rarity thought to herself as she was organizing a little sugar cube tray. “Well, I suppose I don't mind. Just as long as you understand that nothing happened between Spike and I like it did with Rayne. I'm not normally that kind of girl. I'm sure you know the kind of effect that Rayne can have.” Starlight chuckled and nodded.
After first looking around and even peaking back down the hallway, Starlight asked, “You really don't mind?” But Rarity shook her head as she was placing a little garnish on the plate. Then Starlight leaned right in towards Rarity and bombarded her with questions. “Oh my gosh so there is so much that I want to know! So is it weird that he is scaly? What does that feel like? How does that effect when you're kissing? Is it a problem that he's shorter than you? Do his claws ever catch your fur?”
“Sweet Celestia, slow down Starlight. You certainly can't expect me to answer all of those questions at once.” Rarity flipped her mane proudly. “I will have you know that there is nothing weird about Spike's scales in the least. They are very smooth and that blanket Applejack gave me for Hearts Warming pulls my fur more than Spike does. As for his claws, they feel simply divine. In fact when he puts his arms around me, hehe, it's like being held by two strong arms with hairbrushes on each end. It's quite wonderful really. Also I will have you know that Spike is an amazing kisser!”
“Really?!” Starlight gasped.
Now Rarity spoke with absolute certainty. “Oh yes. Spike's lips are just so soft and smooth. It's like kissing glass but with the softness of a cloud. And um, just between us girls, his tongue is rather nice too.”
Starlight made a shocked face but smiled, “Oh you tongue kissed Spike?!”
Rarity nodded excitedly. “Mhm! I couldn't help myself. That handsome little devil just swoons me every time he kisses me. Really, he might even be a better kisser than Rayne.”
“Now hold on a minute.” Starlight said. “I've made out with Rayne pretty intensely and I have to say that I was pretty blown away. I know you aren't that kind of girl Rarity but I can see how he might have seduced you yesterday.”
Rarity was still just grinning though as she levitated the tea tray. “Yes granted that Spike might not be quite as suave as the new dark stallion in town. But a girl likes what a girl likes. And Rayne can't tickle the back of my tongue like Spike's can when he holds me. It really is quite… arousing hehe.” She growled playfully and Starlight chuckled with her.
But as they turned to leave Rarity stopped them at the door. “Oh and I'm sure it hardly needs to be said but… obviously I wouldn't want Spike to find out about my recent transgression. I won't lie if it comes up… but I don't see what good can come from letting Spike find out that Rayne and I slept together.”
Starlight just gave a smirk and patted Rarity on the shoulder. “Let me tell you something. I caught Twilight checking in on you two while you were still both sleeping last night. You looked so cute and happy together as a couple. I think Twilight saw that too, which is why she didn't wake you up. I would NEVER do anything to endanger the happiness that the two of you have found with each other.”
“Thank you Starlight.” Rarity said with a smile as they both started walking down the hallway together.
A little later though the two girls were stunned to see a frustrated Spike sitting next to a small pile of crumpled papers. “Uh, what happened here?” Starlight asked concerned.
No one could tell if Twilight had heard her or not as she was leaned over a parchment agitatedly reading and rereading it over. It was Spike who responded saying, “Twilight has gone through forty eight different drafts of the letter to send to Celestia since you two have been gone. Forty eight!” He cried.
The two mares looked to each other concerned. “Twilight dear, come have some tea.” Rarity called out sweetly, levitating teacups around the room for everyone. “Uh Twilight?” Rarity called again and the others just shrugged. Now Rarity stomped her hoof and said aloud, “Not to worry, I know what to do about this!” Then she marched right around the table to where Spike was. “Oh my Spikey Wikey, I know I was only gone for a moment but I missed you in that short time.” Spike's face went lovey dovey right away, especially when Rarity climbed into the same seat as him and held him close. “Well if Twilight isn't going to pay attention then I guess that means it's like we're alone right? Want to give me some kisses dearest?”
He grinned wide, “Do I ever?!” And instantly they wrapped their arms around each other and started pressing their mouths together hot and heavy. Rarity caressed the quills on Spike's head while he combed his claws through her fur.
Starlight had a full view and could see that they definitely were caressing their tongues into each other's mouths. She even saw as Rarity giggled a little bit when Spike seemed to press forward more. “Wow, okay that does look kind of nice.” Starlight thought silently to herself.
This only lasted for less than a minute though before their affectionate moans and slurpy kissing definitely broke Twilight's trance. “OKAY, OKAY I'M DONE! ENOUGH WITH THE KISSING!!!” She yelled like a mom who couldn't handle seeing their child be romantic. Everyone giggled in the room as the couple went back to their respective seats. Spike took the letter from Twilight and blew it away into fire to send it off. “Alright, now… let's just have some tea and we can talk like friends.” Twilight said settling down. “Thank you Rarity, this looks lovely.” She said before taking a sip. “Okay, now I'm calm. This is really delicious. So what is it that you and Spike still wanted to talk-" But the princess was interrupted as suddenly Spike belched out with a new letter being sent.
“Oh my goodness, is that a letter back from Celestia already?” Rarity gasped. “How could she have even read it so fast?”
Twilight was already looking the new parchment over and said, “She couldn't, this isn't from Celestia. It's from Cadence! Something has happened at the Crystal Empire. She wants all of the princesses and all of the Ponies of Harmony to meet her at the Crystal Empire tomorrow!”
Starlight looked over asking, “Does it say what for? It sounds like it's an emergency. And why tomorrow? I'm sure that the train could get us there by this evening.”
Twilight raised a hoof to her mane. “I have no idea. It doesn't say anything else. This isn't a formal invitation, Cadence wrote this to me as her sister. So whatever it is might be something that she is trying to keep quiet.” Twilight was clearly guessing but everyone looked around and nodded that it sounded plausible. “Whatever it is we will find out tomorrow.” Just then another letter came flaming from Spike and landed on the table. “Okay or maybe we will find out sooner.”
“Who is this one from?” Spike asked as Twilight read the letter.
“Okay so this is the response from Princess Celestia.” She began mumbling, half reading the letter out loud. “... surprised to hear… happy for your friends… mmm.. very unorthodox relationship… absolutely dire that I speak to Spike and Rarity directly?!” Now everyone in the room gasped. “Listen, it goes on to say that the magical blast from last night reached as far as the Crystal Empire! It startled ponies all over Equestria! And apparently now the Crystal Heart is spinning out of control.” All of the others gasped at this news and the couple gave each other an especially worried look. “Supposedly Cadence doesn't expect there to be any danger but she has called a meeting tomorrow to discuss what can be done. And now Celestia would like every individual even remotely involved to attend!”
Suddenly a meek voice called out bringing everyone's attention to a very sad looking Rarity. “Twi-Twilight. Please tell me that I did not start breaking Equestria by falling in love." She whimpered dramatically. "I've had two failed romances, one with that ghastly Prince Blueblood and then my humiliation over Trenderhoof. But now I have Spike and I'm happy but from that the Crystal Heart becomes endangered? Am I not meant to be happy?” She whined as she then started to cry.
“Rarity that doesn't even make any sense!” Twilight shouted annoyed.
Starlight smirked though, “Hey Rarity, I know one advantage there is to having a boyfriend when you're sad.” Then she suddenly levitated Spike out of his seat and floated him over to Rarity who instantly held onto him. Although that only made her hold onto him possessively and cry harder. Trying to think of how to calm the situation she then turned to the princess and said, “Uh Twilight, a lot has clearly happened and I think we could all use a rest. Even if there is a serious situation going on it seems like there isn't anything that's going on until tomorrow. Why don't we let Rarity go home and maybe let Spike go with her for awhile? I can come back and assist you with anything that you might need help with.”
Twilight sighed. “Fine. That's probably for the best right now. I am going to research to see if I can find any history of this happening before and when you get back you can help me cross reference uncommon forms of magic in Equestria.”
Starlight sulked with a fake cheer saying, “Oh yay, won't that be exciting.” As she walked with Spike and Rarity to the front door.
**Author's Ending Note** So Starlinght has obviously become a very important character in the show and will be a very important character in my story. She is also one of my favorite characters who I find to be fun and attractive. I do not think that she is rude or disrespectful but one of the qualities I like best about her is her attitude. She's got a temper, is easily offended, and she feels the need to express it when something bothers her. I think those qualities make her more relatable and are a lot of fun to write. So please excuse me as I make her grumbly when she gets into trouble with Twilight.
Okay so as some of you may or may not have caught it, I have the word "craftsmanship" in this chapter. I don't remember if they ever say the word in the show or not. Usually I am careful with these things because there is no "man" in Equestria. But trying to say "Craftsponyship" seemed obnoxious. So of the word comes up again, this is one plot hole that I am aware of and leaving intentionally.
Alright so here we go. Letters are being sent and meetings are being called? It's not clear what is happening yet but things are coming together. I am looking forward to the plot getting juicier and as always thank you for reading!
