Rarity has finally found the courage to confess her love to the mare of her dreams: Princess Twilight Sparkle. But once their relationship takes root, Twilight finds that her heart longs for another pony—her sweet friend Fluttershy. As a princess, she’s committed to making everypony happy and comes up with a solution that she hopes might bring all three mares together, even if everypony else in Equestria disagrees with it.
This is a “What If?” tale based on my earlier story, Beauty, Books, and Butterflies.

Twilicorn Tag.
Unhealthy way to cope what Rarity said, this coming from her who ate more than 15 gallons of Vanilla Oat Swirl.
4496563 Thank you for catching that!
4496620 Rarity would prefer to forget that while she's pointing out other ponies' mistakes.
4496651 Guess you'll have to keep reading to find out.
that spike tag, makes wonder if he'll end up with nothing.
4497086 You can rest easy knowing, whether he's paired off or not with somepony, he won't be left unhappy.
Welp this story has got my attention and that spike tag hmmmm I would take a guess but I'm just gonna see how this will play out.
I'm excited to see where this goes!!!
4497048 I think Spike should move on to Sweetie Belle.
Clearly, there is only one thing I could do to possibly demonstrate how much more I want. I will favorite your story, the un-favorite it and favorite it again so I can say I favorited it twice.
4497229 Shh, not so loud!
4497370 Your enthusiasm is wonderful! Hope you'll continue to like the rest.
4497444 Of course I'll enjoy the rest. And please don't forget I'm always available for pre-reading and editing. Just like old times, right?
4497457 Right!
Ah, Confessions and Rejections. My cup of tea.
4497229 Now that worries me. Many problems I've seen in romances that have Sweetie and Spike is that it feels like Sweetie is treated a the "plan B" or that Spike's just "settling" with her.
Well, at least
's reaction was a lot better then what happened in Silver Lining when he was told that 
luved 
instead but, still bad move on thinkin he'd want to help rite away. Altho thankfully 
helped twi sort some things out that evenin; even if said princess still wants to ask 
(and maybe 
) a few questions on this development 
Liked and favourited, I especially love Spike's reaction, not only because I'm a sadistic bastard but because it's a lot more realistic than 'Oh she doesn't love me? Crap, guess I'll help her get with Xy boy\girl!'. After all that work, anyone would be pissed at that.
There's still one more brokenhearted dragon they need to resolve.
4508948 Good thing this isn't a 2-chapter story then.
Whoa, getting a little ahead of yourself, aren't you, Rarity? Themed blankets need to wait until at least the fifth date.
Lets just say a certian wall eyed mare confessed her love to him and is having conflicted emotions at the moment. Cause i think the author will only focus on whats happening in front of us.4508948
So is Flash Sentry dead in this story?
Well, looks lik that lil drama storm passed n' everypony is happy again.... for now anyways
4509547 unfortunately, no, he is not. Shame, it would have made everything so much easier.
4510519 its not too late. Your only on the second chapter. Just saying.
4511071 I'm not the author. I'm just a prereader who knows everything about this storyline. For some reason.
4511162 pass it on to the author then. Just sayin.
4511176 I'm sure he's watching this all play out,
4511227 Well, i guess you dont have to then.
I think you may be able to read my mind. I was thinking of a 3 way ship with Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy, just the otter day.
I may prefer TwiShy but i'am also a huge fan of "green" so this will certainly be interesting. I wish you good luck in writing this fic.
Also why the drama Rarity? oh what am i saying it's Rarity, no drama no fun.
~Tobben
And let the 3 way drama begin. To early just yet need Twilight to finish her date with Rarity first.
This will be relay interesting. i'am so looking forward to more.
~Tobben
4529840 I also really like Green. As a matter of fact, I was a RariShy shipper before I jumped aboard the S.S. TwiShy.
I hope not to disappoint you or any other readers with the romance to come!
All aboard the S.S. RariTwiShy! 
Welp, time to check the Twilight/Fluttershy search again to see if there's any new fi-

...LOLOLOLOL!!! I am NOT a "lol"er sort of writer/typer, but I seriously don't know how else to express myself!!! Hahahahah!
Wow, this is really beautifully written. The pace is perfect, you did a great job with the perspective change, you played it out...it wasn't like "boom, im in love, kissy kissy smooch." You added depth, by adding the conflict with Spike....
I really, really like this so far. Def adding it to the fav list!! :)
Well done, filly, well done indeed. :)
.
Love how you add small details like this, not many of the writers have, I am very impressed with your writing skills.
This is as far as I was able to read (that sentince) but tomorrow I shall be up and reading more!!
Again, well done!!!

Ok, I am back! Here are just some of the comments I have as I read along the way;
“Could it be that Twilight was attracted to her?
Oh, please, no, Fluttershy thought, turning away to hide her embarrassment. I couldn’t bear to see Rarity hurt like that.” ((Oooo no complications! Love it!))
“I dunno, Twilight. It’s not like we have much to choose from. Besides, aren’t you overthinking this?” He paused for a moment, then rolled his eyes. “Oh, wait, I forgot. You’re you.”
((Hahahahah! Your with throughout the story is priceless!))
She rubbed at her chin. ((Can ponies do that with hooves? Awkward!))
Eek, make sure this; "She didn’t want how she felt about Fluttershy to get in the way of her happiness with Rarity." Doesn’t turn into a love wrecktangle!! Those are so cliché, but with your wonderful writing skills, I am sure you shall make it work!
Oh, and a ‘steamy book from fluttershy”? haha, who knew she could be such a rascal!
True this; "Rarity smiled and shook her head. How ironic that, for all her ambitions and her fanciful designs, she’d fallen in love with somepony so humble." Opposites attract!!
"With a single crunch, the shell broke and the treat’s savory caramel center oozed down her throat." Aw….I need chocolate now… *drools*
Anyways, I really look forward to chapter four, and you said you wanted an editor, which I a more than happy to help with! PM me and let me know!! :)
You #1 fan,
A. L. Kelthian
Also, as far as your editing request, I am actually a published author myself, so if you want expert editing....:) Feel free to PM me :)
Wonder how Spike and Sweetie Belle are doing?
Oh, shit, man, I'm so ever did get back to you, did I? Now I feel like shit.
4584550 Listen, don't beat yourself about it. Stuff happens, you know? In any case, I wanted to get more perspectives and help with editing, like some of the authors I follow on here like JapaneseTeeth and FlyntCoal.
4584616 Yeah, but my shit isn't a good reason to go back on my promises. I'll check out the next one, ok?
4584647 Sounds good to me!
Feels a little rushed at some points but i'm not too bothered by the handwaving since it gets us to the meat of the story faster. I especially like how you write Twilight. Good showing here!
Ok. When i first glimpsed the box around the writing for fluttershy's note, and the words "I'm so sorry" i flipped, thinking that was the end of the chapter. And that was an apology in the author's notes saying that the chapter was so short. But I am so happy after finishing that chapter. It made me feel good just to read it.
I WAS MENTIONED IN THE AUTHOR'S NOTE?
Sorry I freaked out there.
4612609 Well, why not? You've always been helpful to me!
Hmm i see you are using Spike and Sweetie belle as a secondary ship, that will be new to experience with me (more of a SpikeBloom fan but what eves)
Also i love how you use Fluttershy, getting the tingles just by reading. Powerful.
~Tobben
I'll keep reading. keelah
~Tobben
Can't Twilight her love with Rarity and Fluttershy?
There is such thing as herds.
