A Poison Most Intimate

Chapter 7

Inducting the Flavor of Apples

Applejack was slumped against the door frame, something which did not escape Rarity's notice.

"Is something wrong, Applejack?" Rarity asked as daintily as she could muster.

"Well, aside from the fact Ah'm reelin' from having to drink out of my best friend's chest after being undressed and violently messaged by my other best friend's horrific slime tendril … thing, Ah'm peachy dory!"

"You're fine, then." Rarity concluded with a smile, subtly hinting to Applejack to get used to that sort of thing. "Now, if you would go get those bottles from your barn while the rest of us convene where to go next?"

"Hrrmf." Applejack made a disgruntled noise, but pushed herself off the frame and headed towards the store entrance. Watching her slumped shoulders, sagging posture, and slightly askew hat, Rarity decided she needed someone to keep an eye on Applejack.

"Applejack, wait!"

Applejack stopped, her hand nearly on the door, and glared at Rarity over her shoulder. Frustrated she had to be subservient to Rarity, of all ponies, no doubt.

Rarity alternated her gaze between Twilight and Pinkie, trying to decide which one of them would be better to act as a leash on Applejack to prevent her from running and tattling on the Guard while she still had enough of her own free will to do so. If Shining Armor's group came back, then that made Twilight a liability, as despite Rarity's avoidance of the guard passing on to Twilight, none of the Guards in town knew she had been converted, but as soon as Shining's group came out of the forest, assuming they hadn't already, the news would spread like wildfire.

Pinkie had certainly given in quicker than Applejack, but she was also so spacey Rarity wasn't sure she would be mindful enough to prevent Applejack from engaging a Guard in conversation. Rarity devised a plan that was twofold, that would test Pinkie's loyalty and ensure Applejack's cooperation.

"Pinkie..." Rarity whispered, gently whisking Pinkie towards herself. "How did it feel when you drank from Rainbow Dash?"

"Oh! It was great!" Pinkie answered back in an excited, but quiet tone, able to tell Rarity wanted this conversation on the hushed side. "Tasted like candy! Best...uh, 'intimate experience'," Pinkie wiggled her eyebrows to give Rarity a hint to what she meant, unaware Rarity knew fully well what she meant and had engaged in far worse with Rainbow Dash. "I ever had!"

"Mh-hm." Rarity nodded, though she made a mental note she would have to use the shower with Rainbow Dash the same way one of these days. "Would you like to do it again?"

Pinkie's eyes lit up like fireworks. "Yes! N-not right now, though." Pinkie adding, turning bashful. "I mean, we just did it a few minutes ago..."

Rarity nodded again. "Well," Rarity grabbed Pinkie by the shoulder so she would get that Rarity was being serious. "You need to go with Applejack and make sure she brings back the water bottles, without talking to a Guard, or you won't be able to do it again at all. Understand?"

Pinkie gasped, horrified at the notion of being deprived another drinking session. "Got it!" Pinkie nodded and ziplined over to Applejack, much to Applejack's frustration. Applejack sighed, shook her head, and attempted to get over it, though she was worried by Rarity's ability to seemingly plan for practically every possibility.

Hearing the store bell ring as Applejack and Pinkie left, Rarity turned back to her remaining, much more loyal cohorts, and was ready to discuss their next move.

"Where to next, darlings? It will be awhile before that couple starts spreading the infection, and returning to the caves isn't an option."

"A hotel?" Fluttershy meekly suggested. Everyone glared, confused for her reasoning. "Well, um...we can't use any of our homes because Shining knows about everyone but Applejack and Pinkie, and their homes have other people living there...and, well, I've heard hotels are often used by...couples." Fluttershy spoke the last word in a quiet tone so they would understand what she was really getting at.

"That's..." Twilight and Rarity said at the same time.

"Brilliant!"

"Disgusting!"

Rarity and Twilight exchanged glares.

Rarity chuckled softly, and tilted her head. Twilight suddenly felt pleasure practically shooting into her brain, not dissimilar to what Rarity had done to all three of them in the cave or what Rarity did to Twilight while at that poor couple's house. Twilight let out a heavy moan, and grasped at the air in a vain attempt to calm herself and push out the odd mental pleasure. Twilight grunted in protest at the nonphysical teasing, but it wouldn't stop. It wouldn't stop until Rarity decided it would stop.

"Aaaaah..." Twilight let out a pained moan, really not liking the idea that Rarity could induce pleasure in her with a mere thought. "Okay! Enough! You made your point, already. Sheesh! A hotel it is!"

Rarity adjusted her head back, and the injection of chemicals stopped in Twilight's head. The pecking order reestablished thusly, Rarity began giving her harem their new orders.

"Twilight, you will go ahead of me to scout for guards. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, go gather up my vast array of bits from my safe." Rarity jerked her head again, and in a instant, Rainbow Dash knew the code to break into Rarity's safe without a word of it escaping Rarity's lips.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy did as instructed, going up the stairs to Rarity's room and returning with small satchels in their hands.

Rarity gazed knowingly at Twilight. "You don't mind being a pack mule, do you, Twilight?"

"Not at all." Twilight answered gingerly, having a firm understanding of her place in the ranks. On top of that, she was the only one with more than one pocket on her clothing. She stepped forward to take the satchels from the pegasi and put them in her pockets.

Applejack and Pinkie returned, Applejack was carrying a cardboard box full of the promised empty water bottles and she was clearly a bit miffed that she had to put up with Pinkie's chatter the whole trip. Rarity suspected it was more because she had been hoping to get the Guards' attention and Pinkie had prevented her, just as Rarity had planned.

"Right. Well, Applejack, while you were gone, we decided to go to a hotel as our former base of operations has been compromised."

"A hotel?" Applejack asked dubiously. "That's yer big fancy plan? Tah to go to a hotel?"

"Oh..." Rarity tsked and shook her head, and Twilight shuddered as she imagined what Rarity was planning to do to Applejack to induct her. "Well, anyways, Applejack. We'll need you and Pinkie to take the lead, seeing as Shining Armor is not yet aware of you joining – what did you call it, Twilight? The winning team?" Rarity chuckled at using Twilight's term for it. "So you two should prove effective decoys."

Applejack grumbled, upset she was going to be used for deceptive purposes. Pinkie didn't mind so much.

Applejack turned around and marched out the door, making sure she never released her grip on the box.

As Rarity had said, having Applejack and Pinkie go in the front was quite effective, as it allowed them to move ahead of the others and give signals to the rest of the pack to stop and hide when a Guard came too close to their path. It came too close on more than one occasion, and they ran into their fair share of mishaps along the way. When one Guard came to Applejack with a wanted poster baring Rarity's likeness and specifically asked if Applejack had seen the woman on the poster, the only reason Applejack couldn't answer yes was because Pinkie interrupted and described seeing a similar looking woman somewhere on the south side of town. Applejack grumbled when the Guard left and she lost her chance to tell on Rarity.

There was another scenario where Fluttershy nearly lowered herself to hide inside a garbage pail next to an alley, before Twilight pointed that Fluttershy's petite body was small enough to hide behind the pail and go unnoticed.

There was another thing that happened where they lost track of both Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. Thankfully, they both returned before panic could really set in, the two returned, though Rainbow Dash made the odd request they never go near a billboard again. She was stubbornly silent in regards to why, as no one could think of anything Pinkie could do involving a billboard that would traumatize someone.

Eventually, after getting through several mishaps like that, they reached a hotel. It was brick-red, with a beige roof and a sign proclaiming a cheesy hotel motto and blasphemous boast of being the best hotel at overly narrow superlative achievement that really didn't amount to much in regards to the quality of its service. But it would do.

Making sure no one saw them, the whole group went inside the door, Rarity resuming her place at the front of the group. The bellhop attending the table seemed surprised at seeing six woman of varying heights in multiple different dresses.

The inside of the hotel spoke better of than the outside. The outside didn't make seem particular noteworthy of anything, while the inside suggested it was a good hotel. Nice, clean orange tiling, a tasteful carpet. Certainly not a Canterlot suite where room serviced delivered a dozen fresh-baked doughnuts to the room, but they would at least try to get a doughnut or two in before the morning rush turned over.

"Hello, my good sir!" Rarity spoke politely to the bellhop, resting her hand on the table. "Would you have a room for six, or a sufficient arrangement?"

"I believe we can do that..." The bellhop said at first, but his voice trailed off.

"What? What is it?" Rarity looked down at herself. "Do I have something on me?" She lifted each of her shoulders.

"No, no, it's just...aren't you the lady on that wanted poster there?" The bellhop pointed to the door where they came in, and turning around, Rarity saw sure enough that a wanted poster of herself and Rainbow Dash was pasted on the wall.

Twilight's knees started shaking. Fluttershy bit on her fingernails. Pinkie seemed concerned, but not paniked. Applejack smirked, hoping Rarity was about to get some comeuppance. Rainbow Dash had no reaction, confident as she was Rarity would find a way out of this.

"My good sir..." Rarity spoke to him softly. "While we have run into a bit of trouble with the law, I assure you, we are not dangerous. We're not murderers of gang members, just a few ladies in a bad position. Just a few nights in your roomiest suite, and we'll be out of your hair."

The bellhop gave her a leer, as if considering her logic.

Rainbow Dash, taking a cue from Rarity's book, started pacing back and forth, pretending to be distressed by this. Her wing innocently lifted up slightly and 'accidentally' brushed against the strap of Rarity's dress, pulling it down and offering a teasing view.

The bellhop raised an eyebrow and snorted, bemused they would stoop to such lows, but he didn't seem interested in the offer.

"Perhaps you speak a different language." Rarity said sharply, causally pulling her strap back up as if nothing had happened. She beckoned Twilight forward and pulled one of the satchels out from Twilight's pocket, then began emptying it on the counter. "I know being a bellhop doesn't tend to pay that much, does it, darling?" Rarity scooted the pile of gold coins towards him. The bellhop stared furtively at the coins, apparently indecisive.

"You could buy something nice for yourself..." Rarity added in a purr.

The bellhop shifted his eyes, scanning his eyes across the room to make sure no was watching, then reached his hand out and pulled the bits towards him, stuffing them into his pocket before he pushed a few buttons on the register and pulled two card keys, offering them to Rarity while adjusting his hat. "Room 223, miss." He said with a smile.

"So glad we understand each other." Rarity expressed with a wink, taking the cards from him. Rarity raised her hand and flicked her fingers through the air, motioning for the others to follow. As they left, the bellhop cast a thoughtful eye towards the wanted poster. Rarity noticed, and he noticed that Rarity noticed. Rarity smiled at him and patted her pocket. The bellhop smiled back and gave her a thumbs-up, before leaving his post and going around the table into the room. He went towards the door and pulled the wanted poster down.

Rarity pulled out a stray bit, kissed it, and flipped it in the air towards him. He caught expertly, then returned to his post, pretending nothing happened, dropping the poster into a trash can along the way.

"I must admit, Rainbow Dash, I was surprised you went that route." Rarity mentioned to Rainbow Dash as they made their trek up the stairs.

"Ah'm surprised y'all didn't go that route, given what a flirt ya are." Applejack arrogantly remarked, earning a glare from Rarity.

"Well, really..." Dash's cheeks formed a light blush. "It was more for my pleasure than his, hehheh."

"I still can't believe you bribed him..." Twilight muttered.

"We have plenty of bits, darling." Rarity explained. "And it is but one of many ways I know of to control people, though I don't use it as much as the others." Hearing this, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Fluttershy all become uncomfortable, though Pinkie and Applejack didn't notice it.

They reached Room 223, and Rarity swiped the card and opened the door, letting them all inside. She held the door for them, letting them go inside first.

It was a nice room. There were two beds, a TV set atop a dresser, a table, and a nightstand. The beds were large enough they could fit three of them each uncomfortably- perhaps even comfortably, if they got clever with the positions of their bodies.

"Mmm..." Rarity came in, allowing the door to close behind her, and began scanning the room. She saw the two beds and began thinking of arrangements for them, though Pinkie jumping onto one and playing on it like a child with a cry of 'whee!' was mildly distracting.

"All right." Rarity made her decision. "Applejack, you're going to sleep between Twilight and Pinkie. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, you will sleep on either side of me."

Fluttershy nodded. Twilight rolled her eyes. Rainbow Dash giggled naughtily. Applejack crossed her arms and huffed.

"Ah ain't got no problem sleepin' on tha floor."

Rarity gave her a leer, causally striding her way towards the bed that didn't have a bouncing Pinkie disrupting it. "Oh, but I do, darling! To simply allow you to sleep on the floor like a common dog!" Rarity put her arm over her head and swooned dramatically, collapsing onto the bed. "Such an unfortunate fate will not be tolerated."

Besides, who's to keep you from getting up and out and telling on Shining Armor if you sleep on the floor?

"I recommend we start trying to get comfortable with our arrangements." Rarity suggested, falling backwards onto the bed. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash slowly snuggled up to her, practicing how they would position themselves to sleep when nightfall. Pinkie stopped bouncing for a second, then bounced over onto the side of her bed to give room for Twilight and Applejack to practice sleeping.

Pinkie decided to pull the remote off the nightstand and turn on the TV. As the bright lights of whatever cartoon the last guests left the TV flickered on, Rarity turned her gaze to the far corner of the room and noticed there was a bathroom.

"Oh!" Rarity put her hands together, stars forming in her eyes. "It's been far too long since I had a good opportunity to clean myself! Pardon me while I do that, darlings..." Rarity made her way out from the pegasi at her sides, though not without giving Rainbow a thoughtful smooch on the head.

Rarity locked herself in the bathroom and took her shower. While she was in there, she reminded herself of how she wanted to experiment with Rainbow Dash regarding whatever Dash had done to Pinkie at the Boutique.

The rest of the day was mercifully uneventful, giving them all a chance to unwind after going through so much in so short an amount of time. No Guards came in unexpectedly, no one came by asking for information on the wanted mares, and most importantly, no one built up to the point they gurgled.

Twilight and Applejack were nowhere near as enraptured as Pinkie by the meaningless drivel of colorful caricature on the television screen. Twilight looked rather grey, as a matter of fact. While Fluttershy pretended to like the cartoon to avoid offending Pinkie, Rainbow Dash sat on the edge of the bed waiting for her irresistible mistress to step out of the shower, Twilight cupped her arms around Applejack and snuggled into her shoulder.

"Hm." Applejack looked away at this display of affection, but she returned an arm around Twilight's back.

"You all right?" Twilight asked, rubbing Applejack on the stomach gently. "I know that must have been...traumatic for you earlier."

"Ah don't want tah to talk about it." Applejack sternly replied.

"You sure?"

Applejack glared. Twilight got the hint that she was sure.

Applejack sighed, bringing Twilight higher up on her body so they could carry on a whispered conversation without Rarity hearing.

"How could y'all let Rarity do whatever it is she did to ya?"

"Applejack..." Twilight moaned her name and nuzzled into Applejack's shoulder. "Applejack, you don't understand...the slime. The slime, Applejack, the slime! It can make even most the prudish turn into a love-craving nymphomaniac."

"Nymph-a-what-a, now?"

Twilight sighed. "And Rarity...all she has to deal is tilt her head, and we can feel pleasure unlike anything we've ever felt...or pain, if she's scolding us for getting out of line."

Applejack frowned, allowing Twilight to lay on her some more. Applejack knew Twilight sometimes panicked over nothing, but this appeared to be a legitimate instance. Applejack didn't like the sound of any of that. Being able to control someone like that just wasn't right at all. Applejack resolved she'd get out in the middle of night, get Shining Armor, and hopefully fix everything from there. She had to get that one step done first, though.

Later in the evening, well after Rarity had dried herself off, Pinkie got a craving for chocolate, so they called the room service. Picking up a menu, Rarity found they also offered delivery of Chinese, like any proper hotel would. After checking her funds, Rarity ordered enough for everyone.

Once the waiter arrived with their food, they exchanged payments and greetings, and then set their boxes of food on the table. Rarity and Twilight had to constantly remind Applejack how to use chopsticks ("No, no, like this!" "Alternate, A.J!" "Goodness, darling, it's not rocket science.") When Twilight and Rarity weren't looking though, Pinkie noticed Applejack having a much easier time with the chopsticks. Pinkie didn't realize Applejack knew full well how to use them, and had only been pretending not to to irritate Rarity.

After finishing their food and throwing away the boxes into the room trash can, they exchanged their good nights and got under the covers, nestling into the positions they had practiced earlier.

"Goodnight, everyone."

"Good night, Twi."

"Good night, Fluttershy."

"Pleasant dreams, darlings."

"Don't let the bed bugs bite!"

"There are bed bugs in here!?"

"Pinkie Pie! Now look what you've done! Fluttershy will never get to sleep now!"

"Relax, darling. Ignore what Pinkie says; there are no bed bugs."

Twilight put a hand over her forehead, frustrated she would still be sleeping with Pinkie Pie after she gave Fluttershy that little scare. It took a lot of stroking her mane and sweet murmurings, but Rarity finally managed to coax Fluttershy under the bed sheets.

Twilight initially couldn't get to sleep. She could sense Applejack was still uncomfortable, and even though it was all Rarity's fault, she couldn't help but feel guilty for it. She eventually closed her eyes and drifted off, though it was a bumpy sleep.

After the collective sounds of their breathing in the room ceased, Rarity opened her eye at Fluttershy. "Fluttershy?" Rarity put her hand on Fluttershy's shoulder. "Fluttershy, are you awake, darling?" Fluttershy answered with a snore, confirming as much. "Excellent."

Rarity slipped in under the covers, much to Rainbow Dash's confusion. The blanket forming a hump as Rarity went under it, Rainbow Dash lifted it up and followed her beau in.

"Rarity?" Rainbow Dash questioned. "What are you-"

"Shh." Rarity put her hand over Rainbow Dash's mouth.

"Ooh!" Rainbow oohed in understanding. "I get it! We're going to make out while everyone else is asleep?"

"Yes." Rarity answered seductively. "Nothing too naughty, though. We wouldn't want to wake Fluttershy up."

"Mmh-hmm."

"Now show me that slime tongue again, darling." Rarity demanded, putting her fingers on Dash's chin.

"Oooh..." Rainbow's eyelids fluttered. "Okay, but you make not doing the naughty stuff really hard..." The lavender slime formed around Rainbow Dash's tongue and spilled out from her mouth. Rarity put her lips around and took the fusion of slime and Rainbow's tongue into her mouth, savoring every inch. After a few minutes of wrestling, Rainbow's moans started growing in volume and she reached around Rarity's strap. Rarity grabbed Rainbow's arm and pulled away.

"Now, darling, what did I say?"

"I know..." Rainbow whined. "But you're just so...irresistible, mistress."

Rarity chuckled. "True." Both of them shared a mild giggle.

"You know..." Rarity said, bringing a hand to Rainbow's cheek. "We have Pinkie on our side, now...and I did promise to make a Pinkie Promise, didn't I?"

"Eh, I'm over it." Rainbow Dash shrugged it off.

Rarity's eyebrows furrowed with concern, remembering Rainbow's angst in the forest. "Are you sure, darling?"

"Well...when you had those guys blubbering like idiots in the forest, that was pretty sweet." Rainbow answered. "And yeah, I was upset about it at first, cause it seemed like I didn't mean that much to you, even though we limited on options... but then Twilight brought us them and you choked him with your chest, and that was really... something. Tell ya what." Rainbow Dash adjusted herself and raised a finger.

"You can do it whenever I decide you can do it. Which is, of course, whenever it would, ah-ha...rile me up."

Rarity made an amused snort. "You controlling something of mine? Well, isn't that a little backwards?"

"Hey." Rainbow patted Rarity's shoulders. "I learned from the best."

Rarity and Rainbow laughed quietly, making sure not to disturb anyone who was trying to sleep, but then they heard a creak in the floorboards.

"What was that?"

"I'll go check it out." Rarity volunteered, lifting the blanket off herself and getting out of the bed.

A few minutes ago...

Applejack twisted and turned in the bed. Prior to today, she wouldn't have had any problem sleeping in between Pinkie Pie and Twilight, but now that she gone through what she did, she couldn't help but feel like any second now, one of them would wake up and want to do 'things' with her.

Applejack fidgeted and rolled around, this time coming face to face with Twilight. Applejack wouldn't admit it, but Twilight looked incredibly cute when she was sleeping. Applejack thought about back at Rarity's house. Twilight's drink really did taste incredibly good... Applejack vaguely entertained the idea of waiting to get some more, but as she wasn't completely enthralled yet, she thought better of it.

"Ah'm sorry, Twi, but this is for yer own good." Applejack whispered to the sleeping Twilight, who groaned and rolled over, though she did not wake.

Applejack carefully lifted the shared blanket off herself, and uneasily crawled over Twilight onto the floor. Once she had reached the floor without waking anyone, she began to step over to the door, meaning to run out, find Shining Armor, and come back with a heavily armed platoon.

Now...

Applejack had both her hands on the doorknob and was about to turn it when...

"Where are you going?"

Ponyfeathers! Applejack swore in her head. She shakily took her hands off the knob and turned around to see Rarity glaring at her, arms cross.

"Ah..." Applejack struggled to think up a white lie. "Ah jus' got a hankerin' for some chocolate, so Ah was gonna head to the vendin' machine downstairs, is all."

"Mh-hmm." Rarity nodded.

Applejack chattered and shiver, fearful Rarity had seen right through her charade.

Rarity smiled delightfully and put her hands together. "Well, won't you be needing some bits for that, then?"

Applejack was so startled by Rarity's acceptance of her fib that her brain struggled to respond. "Uh...yeah."

"Mh-hm..." Rarity nodded and walked over to the table where her satchel of bits was placed. Rarity picked it up and untied, showing all the gold coins inside. Rarity began counting them, muttering their number under her breath and holding the sack firmly so it didn't cause wake up anyone when the coins rattled from being moved.

Rarity tied the satchel back up, placed on the desk, then turned to Applejack, putting a hand on the desk and leaning against it. "Now, Applejack, darling..."

Uh oh. Seems Rarity saw through it after all.

"I wouldn't have minded if you took just a few bits out without asking permission. I have plenty, and if we need more, we can go to Sweetie Belle and ask her to get some from my safe. There's enough to last quite awhile- long enough for us to figure out another way to earn money." Rarity explained.

Rarity tapped her finger against the satchel.

"However, the number of bits in here is unchanged."

Applejack cleared her throat. She wasn't entirely sure what Rarity meant, so she decided to ask. "Yeah...so?"

"So that means you didn't get into the bag." Rarity explained. "So you wouldn't have money for the vending machine." Rarity started advancing towards Applejack. "Which, forgive me if I'm wrong, but it leads me to believe that you were intending on running out and getting Shining Armor and his guards!"

Applejack froze, unsure what to do. Deciding it would be best to just go for it, hoping she'd be able to get out before Rarity could catch her, she turned back around and reached for the doorknob, only to lurch when something cool and wet like suspended water wrapped around her waist and tugged her away from the door.

Applejack looked down at her binding.

Rarity's tentacle. One of them, anyway.

Applejack turned towards Rarity again, who was pacing the room, raising her other tentacle over the chests of everyone in their beds. The lavender slime began to pour from under Rarity's skirt, covering her legs in a pinkish, shiny coat that went all the way to the floor. It kept going from there, eventually forming into a sort of third tentacle coming from her legs. A tail of sorts.

The tail rose up at its base, propping Rarity against the air, making her look like a lamia. The end of it lifted up and dashed towards Applejack, where Rarity's tentacle compliantly exchanged its prisoner to the tail's grasp. The tail wrapped around Applejack the same way the tentacle had.

Applejack struggled, but it was no use. Even putting all of her well-exercised muscles to work, pressing against, the goo was just too alien in shape to be affected by even her strongest jerk.

"Which one, which one..." Rarity muttered. "Applejack? I'm going to make you drink more lacte from one of our friends. Any particular preference from whom?"

"Y'all keep that disgustin' stuff away from me, ya hear?" Applejack snarled, remaining defiant.

"Hmm..." Rarity tugged on her tail, dragging Applejack away from the door and to the beds so she was more conveniently located. "You drank from Twilight first, didn't you?"

Applejack remained silent, refusing to play in Rarity's twisted game.

"Oh, come now, darling. Don't be like that. Very well." Rarity took another furtive scan of the room, and her eyes lit up noticing something Applejack didn't quite see. "Oh, well, now there's a thought! How about Fluttershy, instead? I imagine it'd be quite a treat!"

Applejack grimaced. She especially didn't like the idea of drinking from Fluttershy, given how Fluttershy was. The idea Fluttershy would be used for a such a disgusting and vile purpose really didn't sit well with the farmer, even more so than drinking from Twilight or any of their other friends...

...which was why Rarity was going for it, specifically because she knew it would make Applejack even more uncomfortable. Applejack gritted her teeth at this realization, though she remained silent.

Rarity took her free tentacle and gently peeled back the blanket Fluttershy was under, careful not to disturb her. Rarity's tentacle then wove through the air, before doing a complex twirl and then diving straight down into Fluttershy's shirt, where it began to rub at her chest before suctioning on it, pulling upwards her lacte into a complex loop-de-loop through the air. Watching the liquid flow through the transparent slime, Applejack was revolted to an extreme point that she didn't even realize someone could even be that disgusted.

"Hmm?" Fluttershy was awoken by the suctioning and saw Rarity's tendril on her chest. "Rarity?" Fluttershy turned her head and saw Applejack in Rarity's tail-thing. "What's going on?" Fluttershy gasped. "You're not hurting Applejack, are you!?"

"Yes, she is!" Applejack shouted, trying to get Fluttershy's help.

"Shush." Rarity coldly instructed, raising the tip of her other tentacle to Applejack's mouth. Applejack bobbed and weaved her head, successfully avoiding the slime's approach, but Rarity went around and slithered the tendril around Applejack's neck instead, slithering upwards from there. Without the ability to move her neck, Applejack couldn't keep the goo from making its way inside. Applejack made muffled noises as the gooey gag slid inside. Fluttershy wasn't sure if they were moans of pleasure of groans of protests.

"Do you mind, darling?" Rarity asked.

"Oh!" Fluttershy realized what Rarity was referring to and eagerly sat up. "Not at all!"

"Thank you..." Rarity expanded her tentacle around all of Fluttershy's chest and began suctioning on all of it. Fluttershy moaned, her wings flapping with anticipation. Applejack continued to struggle and protest, though she was continually distracted by Fluttershy's acceptance of Rarity's suctioning, baffled as to why Fluttershy would allow such horrible violation to take place.

To Applejack, this was quite frankly the worst possible thing that could happen to a friend. Helpless in a slimey tail tentacle thingie, made to drink the product of her best friend by someone who was until recently one of her other best friends.

The lacte traveled through Rarity's tentacles, going from Fluttershy's chest to Applejack's mouth like water down a pipeline. Applejack grunted when the fluids hit her tongue, really not wanting to have to taste them again. Applejack couldn't really believe what was happening. Rarity was using Fluttershy's fluids to violate her, and Fluttershy was letting Rarity do so! She seemed to be enjoying it, even! Applejack noticed that Fluttershy's tasted different than Twilight's; as Twilight had described, it was like it had little bit of honey mixed in.

She was more than mildly disgusted with herself that she would pick up on something like that.

Applejack swallowed as little as she could, then took in a deep breath and held it. She had a ploy in mind, one last chance to get away. She prayed to Celestia it would work, or all hope was lost, assuming it hadn't been already. "Pho'kay! Fa'Ah'm ful!"

Rarity raised her eyebrow, taking the tip out of Applejack's mouth and scrutinizing her. "Hmm..."

"Couldn't swallow another drop!" Applejack perkily assured Rarity, trying to sell her on the act. It didn't seem like Rarity was going to be paying any admission fees to the show fare, though.

"You know what, darling? I don't think you are."

"Wut!? How could y'all...Ah mean..."

"I think you're trying to trick me so you can pursue your agenda."

Applejack tried to keep up her trick. She needed to get out of here. She needed to get Shining, and frankly, she kinda wanted to throw up, just so she wouldn't have to deal with anymore of her friends' products in her stomach.

"Rarity! That's dishonest- HRK!" Applejack grunted loudly when Rarity's tail gave her stomach a tight squeeze, apparently able to somehow tell how much Applejack's stomach was holding by feeling it.

"So that's your game, eh?" Rarity mused. "Well, in that case..." Rarity shoved the tip back into Applejack's mouth, and then continued to draw out Fluttershy's fluids.

Applejack quickly realized something was wrong. The fluids weren't flowing into her mouth. What horrific thing was Rarity planning now?

The tip jerked inside Applejack's mouth uncomfortably, and Applejack winced.

"Just...build up some pressure, and...release it."

Applejack didn't like the sound of pressure being built up. She liked it even less when the tip began spraying lacte into her mouth in scattered drips like a garden sprinkler. Applejack's resulting moans were entirely involuntary.

"You know what, darling? I have an idea..."

Rarity gently popped her tentacle of Fluttershy's chest, nodding to let Fluttershy know her assistance was no longer required. Fluttershy seemed dejected that Rarity had only taken that much, but she laid back down without a word.

"This will be so fitting, given all our disagreements, don't you think?" Rarity muttered, before raising her tentacle up to her own breast and squishing it in. She moaned from the resulting pleasure. "Oh-oh! P-perhaps I didn't think this through! Breath it in, Rarity, just breath in it..." Rarity took a deep breath. "That's better...and as for you..." Rarity growled at Applejack.

Rarity's lacte began to pour into Applejack's mouth, and in much thicker, large quantities than Fluttershy's did. Applejack moaned, this time most definitely in protest, but the volume of the lacte began to work its magic on her.

Applejack continued to try to resist the sweet, soothing taste of it, but Rarity's tendrils continued to siphon from Rarity into her. Applejack struggled against the slime binding her waist, but her eyes starting turning glassy. The fluids made a 'gloop' as they muscled their way into her digestive tract. It was just one step. One step to fix everything. One step - "Get Shining" but now it didn't seem like she'd be able to do one step at all.

No! No! Ah will not be seduced by Rarity's digustin' fluids! Ah still have mah pride, danggit!

Gloop.

Ah gotta git out of here! Ah gotta git help for Twilight and Fluttershy, and the rest of our friends!

Gloop.

Ah gotta go git Shinin'!

Gloop.

Gloop.

Ah-...Ah...gotta...

Gloop.

Gloop.

Gloop.

Gloop.

Sweet cinnamon harvests, this is delicious...

Gloop.

Gloop.

Gloop.

Remind me again why Ah was so against this?

Rarity smiled, quite pleased with herself. Applejack began suckling the tentacle, the drugs, magic, and magic drugs in Rarity's product having broken all the last remnants of resistance in the cowgirl.

Rarity squeezed Applejack's stomach again, and found it to be almost full. Deciding to finish Applejack's induction, Rarity increased the speed at which the tendril siphoned from her chest, leading a huge glob of lacte crashing through into Applejack's mouth. Applejack swallowed it all she could eagerly, and Rarity was amused when Applejack needing to start breathing through her nose, but even that wasn't enough to keep some from leaking out down her chin.

Rarity turned the suction off, and gently eased the tip of her tendril out of Applejack's mouth. Applejack panted, her eyes rolling, her tongue sticking out as she gasped for air.

"Now, what do we say about our thoughts of escaping?" Rarity faux-innocently asked Applejack.

"Ah'm sorry, Mistress..." Applejack sincerely murmured, falling against Rarity's shoulders as the tendril around her waist relaxed its grip. "Ah won't do it again, now..."

"Good..." Rarity purred. Rarity wrapped her arms around Applejack's shoulders and carried her back to Twilight's bed, laying her right next to Twilight.

Applejack, dazed and confused from recent being made to gorge on lacte into her, blearily grabbed through thin air for comfort, and found it on Twilight's shoulder once her blind hand stumbled onto it. Applejack, feeling Twilight, pulled herself up on the bed and snuggled into her.

Twilight was okay.

Twilight was the one Applejack had first drank the lacte of. Twilight was the mistress.

Applejack was safe with Twilight. Applejack was safe with the mistress.

Seeing Applejack properly cuddling up to her mistress, Rarity giggled softly at a job well done, before going to the bathroom and locking herself in it.

Rarity took in a deep breath, raised her tendril, and pressed it against her breast and began to siphon away herself. She had never done something like that before the session with Applejack just now, and it felt amazing.

"Aaahaaah..."

While she stood there, looking at her half-exposed self in the mirror, Rarity started bouncing ideas around in her mind to quell any future dissent in her ranks.

She looked down at her tentacle for inspiration, and noticed the flow of white fluid traveling through it. Rarity smiled, getting an idea. She would take the lacte of everypony but one, then mix it up equally into a bottle for that one to drink; Fluttershy would have a bottle containing all the lactes but her own, for example. Then they would all drink it, and then they would be equally under each others' control.

Rarity realized she'd have to do it in the night, and do it quickly before anyone woke up. Softly, to keep them from awakening, as well.

Stopping the suction on herself, seeing her tendril was sloshing around with as-yet unabsorbed lacte, Rarity exited the bathroom and went to Twilight's bed, doing the same to her as she had done to Fluttershy.

"Hmm?" Twilight's eyes weakly opened and she started climbing out of bed. "R-Rarity? What's..."

"Shh, shh." Rarity encouraged. "Relax darling. I will explain in the morning. For now, just relax and release..."

"Mmm..." Twilight closed her eyes back, then fell back against the covers, listening to Rarity's words and feeling the teasing squishy siphon's her troubles away.

"Relax and release...relax and release...relax...and release."

Twilight took in a deep breath, relaxing herself, which in turn allowed her to release, giving Rarity more material to siphon away while Rarity repeated the 'relax and release' mantra.

"Relax and release..."

"Mmm...hmm?" Waking up the next morning, Twilight was surprised by how close Applejack was sleeping to her. Twilight fidgeted her arm to get a response, and Applejack's eyes shot wide open.

"Oh! Good mornin', Twi...uh, Ah didn't, er, Ah'm not in yer way or anything, am Ah?"

"Well, you're kind of pressing your weight on my arm."

"Oh!" Applejack pulled away repentantly. "Ah'm so sorry."

"Oookay." Twilight was officially freaked out by Applejack's change in demeanor. Yesterday, she had been all sullen and depressed, but now she seemed bright and cheerful. Twilight got out of the bed and took a head count of who all was awake. Pinkie was up, ready for whatever adventure the day would bring. Fluttershy was up, brushing her hair. Rainbow Dash was up, sulking just outside the bathroom. Rarity was-

Where was Rarity?

Twilight suddenly became aware of a relieving emptiness in herself. She didn't mind being drained, but she didn't remember how it happened, and one of the best things about a session was how it felt. Then she briefly recalled a dim memory of Rarity coming to her in the night with a tendril raised, encouraging her to relax and release...

"Relax and release..." Twilight dazedly muttered. She took a deep breath and begin doing just that, not realizing she would need a Lacmancipium to drink from her if she began 'releasing'.

The bathroom door opened, the squeak of which brought Twilight out of her dream state. Everyone's attention was focused on Rarity as she came out, carrying six of the water bottles Applejack had donated, each one with a Cutie Mark put on them in permanent marker, filled up with lacte sloshing around in them. The sight of the sweet drink bouncing around in the plastic bottles made everyone watching suddenly feel very thirsty. Twilight licked her lips, while Rainbow Dash backed away from the bathroom entrance, not sure if she was worthy of the drink to come.

Rarity looked around the room and seemed quite happy. "Ah, good! Every one is awake! I suppose you're wondering what this is about." She gestured to the bottles in her arms, which she went over to the table and laid them out. "Well, last night, I ran into a bit of trouble with Applejack."

Everyone looked to Applejack, who pretended to smile and feign innocence, before giving up and staring at the floor.

"While trying to..." Rarity paused. "Tame her, I made her drink both mine and Fluttershy's lacte. This is problematic, as now she would want more from either Fluttershy or me, but not, say, Rainbow Dash." Rarity gestured to Rainbow as she spoke. "In order to address this problem, I spent all night siphoning out drinks from every one with my tentacles – goodness, that is a phrase I'd never thought I'd say – and mixed them all up into these bottles, so that everyone is preferred equally!" Rarity picked up a bottle containing an image of Twilight's Cutie Mark. "For example, Twilight will drink this and therefore acquire a taste for everyone's lacte- excluding her own, of course." Rarity picked the bottles up, and noticed how everyone but Applejack and Rainbow Dash seemed to be trying to contain their salivating tongues. "Hm-hm. I take it every one is ready, then?"

"Can't I just have more of yours?" Rainbow whined.

Rarity chuckled. "I'm sorry, dear, but that would defeat the purpose of the exercise."

Rarity began dispersing the bottles amongst them. "Make sure you drink it all, darling, or it won't have the intended effect."

"We have a choice?" Applejack questioned, holding up her bottle skeptically.

"Not really, no."

Twilight held hers up worriedly. "Rarity, you made sure to mix it equally, right?"

"Of course! Now, please. Drink up."

Everyone unscrewed the caps on the bottles and began to drink. It was an out-of-this-world experience, the kind of thing that only happens once in a lifetime. Twilight could taste all the myriad different flavors of each of her friends, and one stood out in particular – an odd, sort of extra heavy vanilla flavoring that she knew without a doubt was Rarity's. Applejack was hesitant to drink hers at all, but relented and started chugging it as quickly as she could, not wanting to savor it at all.

"Well..." Rarity said, taking her empty bottle away from lips and observing that everyone else finished or was nearing finished. "That went well, I think."

Then all six of them got psychic pains in their heads like their brains had been taken out, split open, had a gun put into the brain, had the brains put back into their heads, and then the guns went off. Every one fell against the nearest object, be it a bed, the dresser, of the bathroom door, clutching at their heads protectively. After a second (or forty) the pain subsided, and groaning, they rose back to their feet.

"Well, that was...certainly something!" Rarity exclaimed, trying to make the best out of it. "Hmm..." She looked around the room, feeling different somehow. "Does anyone else feel..."

"Different?" Twilight offered.

"Yes, yes, exactly...hang on." Rarity tilted her head, and Twilight's first instinct was to be as submissive as possible. "Let me try something..." Rarity grabbed Rainbow Dash and pulled her into a loving, tongue-y kiss.

Twilight blushed and covered her mouth.

"Twilight?" Fluttershy asked gently. "What's wrong?"

"It..." Twilight choked out. "It feels like their tongues are both in my mouth!"

Rarity pulled away, disabled Twilight's ability to feel her's and Rainbow's tongue – something Twilight was all too grateful for- and made note of this. "Interesting... the ability to make so that we feel what the others are feeling..."

"Oh!" Pinkie squealed. "There are so many perverted places we could go with that!"

Rarity agreed with Pinkie's sentiment, but she didn't want to start experimenting with this new trick just yet. "Agreed, Pinkie, but one thing at a time, darling... I'm going to go take a shower."

Pinkie sat up, confused. "But you just took a shower yesterday!"

"Indeed I did." Rarity answered, grabbing Rainbow Dash's hands. "But this time, Rainbow Dash is going to help me."

"Oooh..." Pinkie got the hint. "Just like Rainbow Dash and I did at the Boutique!"

"Well, that is where I got the idea, after all. Now come along, my original Lacmancipium." Rarity instructed Rainbow Dash, pulling her into the shower. Rainbow Dash had the biggest, gushing smile on her face.

Everyone else decided to carry on their day and pretend nothing happened, at least not in the last half-hour. Twilight turned over to the menu and browsed through to see what room service offered for breakfast. Pinkie turned on the TV again and got comfortably, while Fluttershy started brushing her hair again, having gotten another knot or two from when they collapsed after the round of drinking.

Applejack stared at Twilight longingly. She wanted to drink her. Rarity's force-feeding her last night made Applejack suddenly made her much more open to the idea of exchanging product along with swapping spit.

Applejack gingerly raised a finger through the air and reached out to touch a lock of Twilight's mane.

In the shower room, Rainbow was giggling like a madwoman while Rarity made the hot water run, making sure it was hot enough to be soothing, but not so hot as to scald them. There was also the addition of the steam as well. Rarity looked down at her chest, which gurgled as if one cue. Rainbow Dash giggled even more perkily, not noticing the thoughtful expression Rarity was forming.

Lying on the bed, Pinkie's eyebrows shot up. She hopped off the bed and knocked furiously on the shower room door.

Rainbow Dash, having finally gotten inside the shower with Rarity, groaned. "What is it?"

"I need to use the little girls' room!" Pinkie answered. "Very badly!"

Rainbow Dash looked through the steam from their shared shower at Rarity's face, which remained calm and collected.

"As you need, darling, but try to be quick about it!"

"Thank you!" Without waiting for any further instruction, Pinkie threw the door opened and went inside, nearly slipping on Rarity's discarded sundress as she sped towards the latrine.

The shadow of Rainbow Dash behind the curtain tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for Pinkie to leave so she could enjoy Rarity all to herself without interruptions. Pinkie didn't stay any longer than she needed to, quickly getting to the sink and washing her hands and preparing to leave.

"Pinkie, wait..." Rarity said suddenly, reaching her hand out from the shower curtain.

"Yeah...?" Pinkie asked, not sure she liked where this was going.

"Would you please..."

Pinkie stepped out of the shower room, steam flying out from it as she left.

Applejack nearly had her hand on Twilight's shoulder. Twilight remained oblivious, considering what on the breakfast menu she wanted to order.

"Applejack!" Pinkie shrieked, startling everyone. "Rarity wants to see you!"

Applejack retracted her hand from Twilight and blinked at Pinkie. "Uh, y'all realize Rarity is in the shower, right?"

"Uh-huh." Pinkie nodded her head like this was nothing.

Applejack couldn't believe Pinkie's lack of social etiquette. Allowing Pinkie in so she could avoid an accident was just common decency, but going into the shower while the two were still at it? That was just rude and...

Perverted. Applejack realized with a mental snarl. Intending to give Rarity a piece of her mind, Applejack got up and marched towards the shower, barging her way inside with a mighty blow to the door.

"Rarity, Ah-"

"Oh, good, you're here." Rarity cut Applejack off.

Applejack took a good, long look at the scene. Rarity's and Rainbow's shirts were on the floor. Rarity and Rainbow Dash themselves were in shadows behind the shower curtain. Rarity pulled the curtain away partially, peeking her head out.

"Y'all better have a good reason for wantin' me to come in..."

"Yes, yes, actually. I do." Rarity assured her. "I want to know what it's like when I have two people at the same time."

Applejack blinked, not understanding what she meant. "An' by that you mean...?"

"Two." Rarity answered, holding up two fingers. "Two..." Rarity traced her fingers down her neck, then towards her chest, which was still covered by the shower curtain.

"Oh. Oh..." Applejack got the hint, then crossed her arms and turned her nose up. "Forgit it. Ah still have some pride left over after last night."

Rarity sighed. "I figured you would be difficult. However..." The lavender slime began forming in Rarity's hand. "I have a solution for that." Rarity began sloshing the slime around in her fingers, causing the psychic echos of squishing sensations that had plagued Twilight so much to bounce around in Applejack head.

"Aaagh...no!" Applejack put her hands on her head, not realizing that wasn't enough to keep Rarity out.

"Your pride is not as important..." Rarity said, and the words began to bounce in Applejack head forcefully, over and over and over until she believed them.

Not as important...as important.

"As pleasing your mistress."

Pleasing your mistress...pleasing your mistress...pleasing mistress...pleasing mistress.

"No, no...nuthin' doin'." Applejack insisted.

Rarity nodded her head at Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash pulled the shower curtain back.

Applejack raised an eyebrow at Rarity's odd tastes. The steam was rising up from the water and clinging to Rarity's skirt and Rainbow's jeans. Applejack wondered how Rarity and Rainbow could stand to have their clothes soaking and clinging to their legs, before figuring out it was to keep from making her too uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash had a wing draped around Rarity's neck, which flowed over Rarity's shoulder and covered both their chests.

"Start undressing." Rarity commanded with a smile.

No, no... Applejack thought in her head, even as her body obeyed obediently. Applejack reached up and took her hat off, lying it somewhere safe, taking a step towards the shower. She pulled her ponytail holder down, tossed it next to her hat, and shook her hair out, revealing it to be quite long and attractive. She took another step towards the shower.

No, no, no...Ah don't wanna do this. Ah don't want to be her … love slave!

Rarity shook her head disapprovingly. "Tsk tsk tsk, Applejack. Rainbow Dash, as we discussed?"

Rainbow Dash ducked her head under wing, where Applejack could still see her eager, magenta eyes, but not her outstretched mouth as it began to siphon on Rarity's chest.

"Mmmmh!" Rainbow Dash moaned very loudly. Theoretically, it was part of an act to seduce Applejack, but she was genuinely that happy to have Rarity's lacte again, after having to accept Fluttershy as a substitute yesterday.

"Uuuhh...?" Applejack made a confused moan, seeing Rainbow Dash was so happy and wondering if maybe, she could be that happy too.

Ah said no, danggit! Applejack thought bitterly to herself. Still...she does seem real perky about it...maybe Ah could...no, no, no! Ah am not Rarity's tool! Rainbow does look really happy about feeding from her, though...

"Come now, darling, really?" Rarity crooned, raising her finger and making a 'come hither' gesture. Applejack found herself taking more steps towards the shower, even though she didn't want to. "I will make so worth your while..." Rarity added in a dangerously low purr that would bring even the most strapping stallion to a flustered heap. "I noticed you still have your vest on...that won't do, will it?"

Applejack started undoing her leather vest, undoing each loop and knot before tossing the piece aside to the same abandoned pile as her hat and ponytail holder.

Ah said no! Dang it, why won't you listen to me, body!?

"You can keep your pants on like we did, presuming you don't mind them getting all soggy." Rarity told her, casting a glance at the shower head. "Boots have to go, though."

Well, Ah least Ah can still have SOME dignity, Applejack reflected as she popped her boots off her feet.

"Rarity...Ah don't want to do this." Applejack started crying, a blue line forming down her cheek as she was made to expose herself.

Rainbow Dash's other wing fidgeted uncomfortably, disliking the sight of seeing Applejack, one of the strongest and proudest ponies she knew, brought to tears.

"Rarity..."

"Pish-posh." Rarity insisted, though she was biting her lip and second-guessing herself. "She's just a little shy. Don't you remember last night, Applejack? How sweet my drink tasted?"

"Yes..." Applejack answered honestly.

"Wouldn't you like to taste it again?" Rarity purred.

"Yes- NO! AH MEAN NO! No. No...no..." Applejack continued to sob.

"Now come in." Rarity instructed further, putting on a brave face to ignore her own forming guilt. Applejack took a slow, hesitant step inside, but once she got that first foot in, she jumped inside. Rainbow Dash adjusted her wing so Applejack could get a better view of the side she was going to be doing.

Once inside, Applejack stood in there for a few minutes, observing Rarity's and Rainbow's tantalizing frames.

Ah said no, Ah said...no! Applejack protested in her head, but for some reason, the words wouldn't escape her lips. Applejack then looked downwards at Rarity's impressive breast and suddenly she much less distressed about this horrific ordeal. Applejack found herself falling under the same spell that had gripped Twilight yesterday; they were impressive, yes, but when laid bare, they were practically hypnotic. The hot water covering it in a glistening sheen and steam rising up to cover it made it even more so.

Ah...Ah...maybe. Applejack thought to herself, seduced already by Rarity's buxom glory.

Then a bizarre disconnect happened. Applejack's mind and her body started agreeing again, all of sudden, and she had the ability to protest again.

Applejack started scrambling to get back out, the slippery floor of the tub causing her her limbs to flop everywhere as she vented her frustrations.

"Dang it, Rarity!" Applejack snapped, raising her arms and curling her hands into fists. "Ah said Ah didn't- Ah didn't want to do this!"

Rarity and Rainbow were both quite taken aback by Applejack's sudden rage. They certainly hadn't encountered this kind of resistance from Twilight, or Fluttershy.

"Rarity..." Rainbow said uncertainly, "Maybe we shouldn't make her do this if she doesn't want to."

"Nonsense!" Rarity responded imperiously. "I am the Lacmagistra Imperatrix, the Mistress, and what I say goes."

"Rarity!" There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Twilight's voice. "What's going on in there!?"

"Nothing!" Rarity shouted back. "Just some technical difficulties!" Rarity coated her fingers in slime - Applejack's angered flailing, coupled with the frictionless flooring, meant she'd hurt them or herself if something wasn't done quickly, so there was no time for Rarity to summon her entire tentacle. Rarity got her hand on Applejack's chin and started tickling it with the slime, never letting one finger linger for more than a second. "Calm down, Applejack, calm down. Don't you remember last night? That lovely gloop as you drank from me? Wasn't that niiiice?"

"Yeah..." Applejack admitted, calming down from Rarity's lovely, amorphous touch. "It was..."

"There, there. See?" Rarity gloated to Rainbow, smugness all the more evident as she turned from Rainbow back to Applejack. "Remember what you said last night, Applejack? You said you'd quit trying to escape, remember?"

"Yeah..."

"And what are you trying to do right now, hmm?"

Applejack finally stood still. She looked remorseful, even. "Tryin' to escape...Ah'm sorry, mistress."

Rarity smiled, She trailed her slime fingers down Applejack's neck and swept them over Applejack's breast. where she began to rub and tickle at Applejack's breast with her magic fingers.

Applejack's head wobbled, before she fell forward, planting her head on Rarity's left breast and cuddling into it. "Ah won't try to escape no more, Mistress...Ah really mean it this time..."

"Good, good...are you ready to start drinking, darling?"

"Yes..."

"Go on..." Rarity encouraged, shaking herself. "Drink..."

Applejack tenderly raised a hand, then placed it upon the gland-holding organ. It was so soft and squishy. Completely...

"It's natural!" Applejack exclaimed, sounding surprised.

"What do you mean, it's nat-!? - oooh...well, yes, I- I considered it in my adolescence, but upon reaching adulthood, found myself blessed enough that it would be completely unnecessary. Enough stalling, darling. Drink."

"… Yes." Applejack answered, giving in at last. "Yes, Ah will, Mistress..."

Applejack lifted her head up, took in a deep breath, then bit down, causing Rarity to squeak in delight.

Rainbow Dash observed Applejack frenetic slurping. "Are you sure this is such a good idea? I mean... between the two of us, that could leave us both going without being completely full."

"If it comes to that, I'll make you drink from each other!" Rarity snapped, impatient to know what it felt like to have two people feasting on her at the same. "Start drinking already! I want to know what it feels like..."

"Okay, okay..." Rainbow Dash re-affixed her mouth to its proper place and began drinking. Rarity moaned very audibly, her head rolling on her neck.

"Oh, darlings!" Rarity cried with joy, bringing her arms around both her slaves' neck and pressing them subtly further into her source. "It feels even better than I imagined! It feels like a dream! Absolutely fantastic! Ooohhh m-m-my-my-my – YES! YES! Drink! Drink from your one true mistress...oooooh. Oooh my...yes. Yes."

Rarity became acutely aware of how much faster her heart was beating. She'd never had so much euphoria. It was a wonderful and satisfying feeling when Rainbow drank from her, and Rarity could know Rainbow would rather fill herself up than let Rarity suffer, but to feel that feeling of gluttony, lust, need and hunger from her friends twice, in two directions with Rainbow and Applejack each working one side...

To Rarity, their needing, addicted tongues licking her felt more like she was being filled of aphrodisiac, as opposed to emptied of it.

Rarity felt like she was a matron. A matriarch, providing her servants with the life source from her chest. A goddess, whose lowly acolytes were barely worthy of being in her presence, but she allowed them to be anyways, because she wanted -needed - she needed to feel them drinking from her as much as they needed to drink her aphrodisiac. Her ambrosia.

"Aphrobrosia", perhaps.

She took in a deep breath and exhaled, protruding her chest into their mouths in the hopes it would coax them to drink faster. The warm water from the shower covered made their entire bodies glisten and shimmer in moistening coats of water. The water running washed down any leaked drips of lacte down their bodies and into the drain, keeping any waste from lingering.

"Fill yourselves up with my love! Take it all! I have plenty to go around... play your sweet symphony of moaning and pleasure for your mistress. Swallow it whole! Swallow...swallow every. Last. Drop."

Rarity was sure that, after this session, Applejack's resistance to all the perverse things they were doing really would be gone. For good this time.

Rarity closed her eyes, but then opened them again when she suddenly felt something hitting and jerking against her waist. Upon observation, she saw it was Applejack's spastic hips.

"Goodness...I'm disappointed in you, Applejack." Rarity chided. "Mm...I suppose I should go easier on you. You were already aroused when you started, and you don't have a fraction of Rainbow's past experience. Now, listen carefully; you can either keep going or faint, or you can stop and we can pick up later in the day."

"Mnh!" Applejack moaned in response, and from the increased rate at which she was going, Rarity could conclude her decision was to keep going until she fainted.

Ah, well.

Drugged lacte produced by magical slime violation had that effect on people.

"Mnh! Mnh! Mnh! MMMNHH!"

Applejack's eyes widened, feeling an absolute thunder shock of pleasure swell up inside her from all that delicious, delicious lacte, and collapsed, falling off Rarity with a pop. Rainbow Dash stopped drinking and moved to catch Applejack before she hit the floor and injured herself on the tub.

Applejack raised a hand in protest. "Ah...Ah want more..."

Rarity rolled her eyes. Honestly, she wouldn't mind Applejack drinking more, but she also was doubtful Applejack could accomplish as much. "Can you stand long enough to get more?"

"So...." Applejack muttered incoherently, her eyes fluttering. "So full..."

"I'll take that as a 'no', then. Carry her out, will you, Rainbow Dash?"

Rainbow Dash stepped over the tub, picked Applejack up and lifted her back over to her abandoned vest and started making her decent again before replacing Applejack's hat on her head, Applejack dazedly praising the deliciousness of Rarity's product all the while. An air of resignation hung around her wings as she then put her own shirt back on.

"What's wrong?" Rarity noticed.

Rainbow Dash lifted Applejack up over her shoulder and looked at Rarity.

"Just because I'm your slave, doesn't mean you have to make Applejack one too."

Rainbow Dash picked her shirt and made herself decent before leaving the room, leaving Rarity alone to her thoughts.

"It-it's not my fault! The slime made me do it!" Rarity shouted as Rainbow Dash closed the door behind her. Rarity looked from the shower curtain and looked at the foggy mirror, clouded from the misty steam from the shower, but she could still see her face in it.

"D-didn't it?" Rarity asked her reflection timidly, pulling the shower curtain over herself like a toddler's security blanket.

She looked at herself in the mirror, taking a good, long, hard look at her usually emotionless eyes of cold crystal, quavering with doubt.

Is...is the Slime making me do this, or am I just using it as an excuse to indulge my flights of fancy and perverted ideas? Is mine or its idea to spread the love to the whole town?

Uncomfortable with the idea that this was all her- that violating Applejack, infecting Applejack, infecting all her friends was her own idea, she clenched her fingers on the shower curtain firmly, a tear escaping her eye.

No. No. I am stronger than this. I am BETTER than this. Be it my own perverted fantasies, comfortably unchained behind a mask which uses the Slime as an excuse, or if I am the Slime's puppet, either way, I will be strong enough to see it through to the end, for better or especially worse.

Having resolved that with herself, Rarity stepped out of the shower and picked up the complimentary guest bathroom robe. It was pure white, and fuzzy as though it had been made from cut-up carpet. It wouldn't surprise Rarity if it was. As she put it on, tying its ribbons, Rarity found - through no fault of its own- that it was too small to contain her bust, straining against it and accentuating its curves.

Just the way Rarity liked her clothes.

Rarity stepped out of the bathroom and saw that Applejack was standing in front of the entrance, her whole body shaking. All eyes were on Applejack and her. The tray of bagels and muffins on the table from Twilight finally making up her mind about what she wanted for breakfast lay, totally forgotten.

Rarity ignored it and walked over to her bed, coming to rest on it.

Applejack's gaping expression of confusion, shock, and obedient slavery was slowly replaced by a perky smile. With a spring in her step, Applejack walked over to Twilight, resting her arm on the chair Twilight had migrated to.

"Uh..." Twilight put her bagel down and turned to Applejack. "Are you okay, Applejack?"

"Ah'm just fine!" Applejack answered perkily.

"O...kay." Twilight reasoned, nervously lifting her hand for her bagel, but her eyes were still on Applejack and she couldn't relax enough to enjoy her food, so she stopped reaching for it.

"Applejack, is there something I can help you with-"

Applejack launched forward and picked up Twilight in a hug that could crush bones.

"AH LOVE YOU, TWILIGHT!"

"Rarity!" Twilight choked out, straining to get out of Applejack's hold before she was strangulated. Applejack began nuzzling Twilight like she was a teddy bear. "What did you do?"

"I...believe I may have...overdosed her on lacte." Rarity answered coolly, taking the question in stride.

"I...love you, too, Applejack." Twilight uncertainly strained out. "But you're- crushing...me!"

"Sorry." Applejack apologetically let go, and Twilight rested her arm on the chair, taking in deep breaths to regain the air she had lost. Applejack leaned forward and whispered something in Twilight's ear that made her blush.

"R-really?" Twilight stammered. "Right now?"

"Whenever yer ready, cutie pie." Applejack answered, sounding more like a valley girl than she had her whole life. Twilight, of course, was only brought to a more furious blush.

Rarity let out a sigh and slumped against the bed frame. Applejack's protests and Rainbow's uncertainty had taken a damper on her, but it wasn't enough to push away the fact that she felt divine right now.

"I feel like a goddess..." Rarity murmured.

"Hmph." Twilight crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at Rarity. "Is 'ascending to goddesshood' our next stop after we take over Ponyville?"

Rarity laughed seductively. "Oh, Twilight..."

Rarity rolled over to her side and affixed Twilight with a nerve wracking erotic stare. Rarity raised her finger and made a come hither motion, and just like when she did it to Applejack in the shower, Twilight lurched forward and dashed towards involuntarily. Rarity drummed her fingers teasingly on Twilight's chin, causing Twilight's tongue to hang out lustfully. Rarity then pushed Twilight's forehead with her palm, making Twilight stumble all the way back to the table.

"There's no need to ascend to something I already am." Rarity confidently answered, flopping back onto her back.

Twilight was shaking now, worked up heavily by the arousal brought on by the so-called goddess. "Uh, uh...Applejack? I'm ready now."

Applejack smiled brightly. Twilight grabbed Applejack by the wrists and dragged her to the bathroom, but not without taking a curious look at the bagels and muffins on the table.

"Remind me again why we have to eat when we have all this lacte?"

"Well, it all has to come from somewhere..." Fluttershy mumbled.

After that, Twilight flexed her fingers, making a forest green version of Rarity's goo leak out of them, then dragged Applejack into the bathroom. Applejack sounded ecstatic when Twilight's gooey hands gripped her wrists.

Rarity smiled, knowing which body parts of Applejack's Twilight was going to be applying those gooey hands to...

After hearing the shower turn on again, after a while, Twilight stepped out of the room with a dazed, blissful expression. She had to grip the door frame to keep from falling over.

"How'd it taste?" Rarity asked causally, like asking how her friends' lacte tasted wasn't an unusual question at all.

"Cinnamony..." Twilight deliriously moaned, waddling out from the door frame as a very pleased-looking Applejack exited behind her.

"Thanks, Twilight..." Applejack said shyly. "It...really means a lot to me you would return mah little...favor from yesterday."

Twilight and Applejack exchanged naughty smiles. Applejack put her hand on Twilight's chest, then trailed down to Twilight's stomach and gave it a squeeze, seeing just how much lacte Twilight had swallowed. Twilight let out a surprised gasp.

Rarity smiled contentedly, seeing her little flock of budding deviants grow comfortably with touching and drinking from each other.

Then a sound like a spring being snapped played in her head, and her body sized up.

Her hands arched into the air like claws.

Her eyes dilated.

Her back arched like she was being turned to stone, and she fell onto her back on the bed, her arms raised into the air like a zombie trying – and failing- to burst from its grave and terrorize the living.

"Rarity!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, the first one to notice. She rushed over to Rarity's still body and tried to get a response. "Are you all right?"

"Is she dy-dy...maybe?" Fluttershy fearfully suggested.

"No, no." Rainbow Dash shook her head in denial. "No way."

"Perhaps...aah, I got nothing." Twilight tried to offer a suggestion, but none of her knowledge offered any insight.

Then Rarity started smiling. Everyone thought it was a good sign at first – it meant she was alive. But her smile started getting wider...and wider...and wider, eventually approaching into the kind of broad smile showing all the gleaming, pristine teeth that a serial killer had.

Then she started laughing, before hissing.

"The infection..." Rarity drawled, her stomach raising as she took in a sharp breath. "Issss...sspprrreadd...ddiiiiing! Ah ha ha... ah ha ha. Ah Ha Ha AH HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Applejack and Twilight gripped each other for support as Rarity's wicked laughter echoed in the room, sounding like a demonic cackle straight from the fairy tail Witch herself in all of her myriad incarnations.

Then the laughter stopped as abruptly as it started.

Rarity bolted upright, and with a jerk of her head, flipped her hair over her face, covering half of it. It was a good look, but not on her.

"Girls...I believe we are due for a night on the town."

"Okay..." Rainbow agreed, "but can you flip your hair back? That's not a good look for you."

"Fiiiine." Rarity did as instructed, jerking her head so her hair was over her back. "Now, we are due for a night on the town."
