Chapter 1

Princess Celestia’s room, Canterlot Castle

Celestia yawned loudly as she awoke from a particularly pleasant night’s sleep. She was absent-mindedly scratching her stomach when she realized there was a small wet patch underneath her blanket, soaking into the mattress beneath. Despite being the only pony in the room she blushed heavily, realizing why she had slept so well last night. It was that time of the year again. She dreaded it. It was the beginning of summer, the time when she began her month-long heat cycle. Yes it was true that she was an alicorn, and indeed she was what many would call a goddess. However, she too still experienced normal biological functions that anypony in her kingdom would…much to her dismay.

Growling in frustration she levitated the soiled sheets and mattress into the air and used a vaporizing spell to clean them. After she took a quick shower and groomed herself, she visited her sister’s room.

“Good morning Lulu I take it that your night was satisfactory?”

“Indeed Tia, We…erm I believe that ponies in this era enjoy my night quite a bit more than those a millennia ago. Sister you seem…how should I put this…a bit frustrated about something perhaps?”

Celestia chuckled mirthlessly. “Is it that obvious?”

“Perhaps not to the common pony, but the look in your eye betrays you.”

Celestia’s lower jaw tightened. “I am dear sister, but please promise me you won’t laugh.”

“Come now Tia, why would I laugh at you? If there is a problem serious enough to make even you grumpy, then it demands to be discussed!”

“Well Lulu, you see it’s that time of the year again.”

“I’m afraid I don’t understand.”

Celestia groaned. “I’m…in heat again.”

Luna’s eyes shrunk to pinpricks. “Oh…OH! I’m sorry; it must be terribly embarrassing for you to admit it. What pray tell, do you intend to do about it?”

“I’m honestly not quite sure. I can’t ask my guards to umm…rut me like the old days, it would be improper. I suppose I could clop but when would I find the time, and what if somepony accidently walked in on me? It would create a scandal!”

Luna sighed. “Tia, it is perfectly natural for a mare to go through heat. You of all ponies should know that. Why not just use the royal harem, or perhaps find a paramour?”

“I dismantled the royal harem centuries ago and you know I don’t have the time for a lover! I just wish I could get rid of this blasted problem permanently.”

“Whenever I experience the heat, I elicit the help of a nightpony to…”

Celestia grinned. “I have an idea! If I recall correctly there’s a unicorn doctor at Canterlot General who specializes in psychological disorders. Perhaps there is a way to dull the effects of my heat cycles through medicine or magic.”

Luna’s ears sagged. “Tia don’t you think that’s a bit excessive? Heat is not a disease to be treated, it is the way our ponies continue life. I know it’s a bit frustrating at times but surely you can find time to relieve yourself…right?”

“NO! I want to be rid of this problem once and for all. Equestria depends upon me far too much to give into such foolish, lustful desires.”

As Luna watched her sister trot out of the room, she rubbed her temples. “This cannot possibly end well.”

Canterlot General Hospital, Canterlot

Nurse Redheart was sitting at the reception desk, quietly enjoying her lunch of spring greens and a daffodil sandwich when she was interrupted by the sound of the service bell ringing. With an annoyed huff she was about to scold the insolent fool who dared interrupt her meal, when she realized it was Princess Celestia.

“Oh good day to you your highness what might I do for you?”

“Hello nurse, I was curious if I could schedule an appointment with your psychologist.”

“Psychologist…ah you meant Dr. Green, why I don’t believe he’s busy right now. If you want I could page him for you.”

“Why thank you that would be lovely.”

A brown coated unicorn stallion with a white mane was sitting at his desk reading this month’s copy of medical journal, enjoying a cup of coffee. The article was simply fascinating; it described a completely revolutionary treatment for colonic hernias. He would have to contact this brilliant earthpony doctor for discussion some time. Dr. Green was finishing up the last paragraph, when his desk phone rang. He immediately recognized the voice on the other line belonging to Nurse Redheart, the attractive receptionist mare who ran the front desk.

“Hello, Dr. Green speaking.”

“Yes, hello Doctor I have a potential patient here to see you. Shall I send her up to your office?”

“Go ahead; I’m not busy right now.”

A few minutes later he heard a knock at the door. With his best professional smile he opened the door, only to find one of the Princesses of Equestria standing there. The smile was quickly wiped away as he looked at her with mouth agape.

Celestia couldn’t help but grin. “Good Afternoon Dr. Green, I was told that you specialize in psychology.”

“Umm…why yes I do in fact. Why don’t you take a seat on that couch over there your Highness?”

“Before we begin Dr. Green, what we discuss here must be kept strictly confidential.”

Dr. Green laughed nervously. “Oh yes of course, I would have done so with any patient. It’s part of my oath after all. Not to be rude your majesty…but what concerns or issues do you have?”

“As you may know doctor, mares across Equestria go through heat cycles. Despite what many ponies believe, I too go through this process as well. It has been bothering me as of late and I wish to be rid of it all together.”

“Pardon me Princess, but did you just say you wanted to ‘get rid of it’?”

“Yes, you heard correctly.”

Dr. Green rubbed his chin. “Most mares in your situation would simply have sexual intercourse or masturbate in order to alleviate their symptoms. So, I must ask have you taken such actions to erm…relieve yourself?”

“I used to in the past, however nowadays I’m just so busy. I’m afraid that if somepony found out I was…engaging in such activities it might cause panic or worse yet a scandal!”

“Your highness, I honestly don’t see what the issue is. I for one would not judge you, for we all are subject to nature’s whims regardless of our status or power. However, I can see how some ponies might overreact to the knowledge of their princess doing such things. What would you have me do?”

“Is there any way you could prescribe me a drug to rid me of my heat or…perhaps is there any magic means to achieve the same goal?”

Dr. Green ran a hoof through his mane. “As far as drugs go, no. There is one thing…no it’s too risky.”

“What? You must tell me!”

“Well you see it’s a spell I developed for patients with more extreme mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and in rare cases dissociative identity disorder. The spell scans the brain and finds ‘anomalies’ that differ from the base personality and attempts to either contain them or destroy them. I’ve only tested it on three patients and so far they seem to be doing quite well.”

“I’m sorry doctor but I don’t see what the problem is.”

“The problem, your majesty, is that I’ve never performed this spell on an alicorn. There’s no telling what side effects might occur. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that I’ve never used it on a unicorn either.”

“Doctor Green, I am quite the capable sorceress. I assure you that if something goes wrong I will not blame you for it. I want you to perform the spell, the rewards outweigh the risks.”

Doctor Green frowned. “Very well your majesty, just so long as you understand how dangerous this might be. I still don’t recommend it.”

“Noted, proceed doctor.”

Doctor Green’s horn glowed with a white aura as he touched the tip of his horn with Celestia’s. While scanning her brain, it seemed like everything was normal, except for a dull purple mass near her brain stem.

“Hmm well that’s interesting.”

Celestia frowned. “What’s interesting? Is there something wrong?”

“Not really wrong per say, but typically when I scan a patient’s mind for magical signatures the section of the brain that contains the libido is a dull red color. It shows up more prominently in mares than stallions but for some reason yours is…purple. Perhaps it’s more pronounced because you’re an alicorn, or maybe it’s just more concentrated.”

Dr. Green concentrated on the purple mass; it seemed to almost push back when he enveloped it in his magic. This was certainly unusual; it was almost as if it…thought for itself. A few seconds later his mind was filled with extremely erotic images involving himself and the princess. He blushed heavily, since some of those images catered to his personal fantasies.

“Doctor Green are you alright, you seem to be a bit flushed. Did you over exert yourself?”

Dr. Green bit his lip. “No, I’m fine…the mass is being difficult.”

Drumming up the rest of his courage and willpower, Dr. Green concentrated his magic on that single purple mass. The mass this time was overwhelmed. He heard Celestia grunt in pain and was tempted to stop but he was so close to getting rid of it. With one final push he separated the mass from Celestia’s mind. With the separation came a brilliant flash of purple light, flinging the doctor across the room and nearly destroying his office as well.

Dr. Green vision slowly returned and he realized it came with a blistering headache. He looked around the room trying to get his bearings when he spotted not one, but two Celestias sitting on the couch. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The “other” Celestia looked much like her counterpart, but had a dull purple mane and tail. Her coat seemed to be a darker shade of white. Her eyes too were the same shade of dull purple. The “original” Celestia had her hooves against her head, seeming to be in much the same condition as the doctor.

Dr. Green started to panic. “By the creator there are two of you!”

The purple maned alicorn giggled. “How very observant. In my opinion…THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!”

Celestia stared in shock at her double. “What…I how is this even possible?”

“I told you there were risks your majesty. I tried to destroy your libido but instead it manifested into another alicorn. How very fascinating.”

The purple maned alicorn trotted over to Dr. Green and nuzzled his neck. “I have you to thank for releasing me don’t I? Well…I can think of a few rewards for the heroic doctor.”

Dr. Green’s heart nearly exploded in his chest. “T-that won’t be necessary I-I was just doing my job.”

Celestia’s doppelgänger started licking his neck. “My my somepony is modest. I like a modest stallion. But where are my manners? I haven’t even introduced myself yet. My name is Molestia, Molly for short. So how about we get to your reward…Dr. Stud.”

Before Molestia could go any further, Celestia levitated her away from Dr. Green. “Stop it this instant! I will not have you molesting my subject!”

Molestia’s eyes watered with crocodile tears. “Tia you’re no fun. It’s not like I was raping him or anything…if anything he looked like he might have enjoyed it.”

Celestia growled. “Do not call me Tia. While I am glad to be rid of my own heat, this presents an entire mountain of new issues. Dr. Green I’m grateful that you performed the procedure…even though this might have caused many unforeseen consequences. Also…I apologize for Molly’s behavior.”

Dr. Green sat on his haunches as Celestia and her new “sister” teleported away in a brilliant flash of light. Screwing up his courage he trotted over to a cabinet near his desk. Without a second though he grabbed a bottle of applejack inside, and began to take a deep swig.

Dr. Green laughed to himself. “Well…shit.”

Hall of the Elements, Canterlot Castle

Two pegasus guards clad in traditional golden armor stood guard at the door which housed the Elements of Harmony, while they were inactive. What many ponies didn’t know was that while not being used, the elements were just gaudy pieces of jewelry but would appear to their bearers only when summoned. Despite these facts, Celestia liked to keep up appearances and kept two guards on post. It was one of the most boring duties in all Equestria. So the guards, Wispy Winds and Stratos Kicker, were engaged in a conversation regarding the latest hoofball game between Manechester United and Real Maredrid.

Stratos waved his hooves in the air. “The last goal was absolutely brilliant!”

Wispy nodded in agreement. “I’ll say. Hey maybe next time you can get that hot cousin of yours to come with us. We could grab a few pints afterword.”

Stratos face-hoofed. “Wisp believe me when I say this, but you don’t want to get involved with Cloudy. She’s… into what I loosely term ‘open relationships’.”

“I can be open and honest in relationships. Is that really a problem?”

“No…that’s not what I meant. I mean she likes going around and banging anypony she can get her hooves on. Nice gal, but a bit of whorse.”

Wisp frowned. “Oh well that’s too bad.”

Stratos patted Wisp on the shoulder. “I know but don’t sweat it buddy, we’ll find ya a nice mare soon. Oh I know how about that cute little weather mare…umm Raindrops I think her name was?”

“Sure Strat, as soon as I get some rec time I’ll go straight to Ponyville. I heard Berry Punch has an awesome tavern there and we…”

Before he could finish his sentence Celestia materialized in the center of the room, bathed in yellow light. Next to her stood an equally regal alicorn, albeit with a purple mane and a goofy grin. Stratos was the first to speak up.

“Oh…greetings your highness. What brings you to the Hall of the Elements?”

“Good day Sergeant Kicker, I was just on my way back from Canterlot General. I need to make some arrangements for my new…guest. You and Corporal Winds may resume your duties.”

Molestia licked her lips. “They may resume their duties with me any day.”

Celestia’s eye twitched. “Would you stop that? It was already bad enough that you tried to have your way with that poor doctor. You can’t just go up to every stallion that has a pulse and flirt with them. Especially my guards! They have a job to do.”

“Just stallions Tia? That’s prejudice! I love mares just as much. As I seem to recall, the Equestrian guard is supposed to protect the royal plot. Right now it needs some serious…protecting.”

“I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do with you Molly. You should be supervised at all times. I don’t want the palace staff to spread rumors or worse yet…get raped.”

Molly rolled her eyes. “Come now Tia, you think me so malicious and debauched that I would rut anypony who wasn’t willing? I would never do that to our little ponies. Free will and choice are sacred rights dear sister; you of all ponies should understand that.”

“Then why are you going around like some cheap whorse, trying to elicit sex?”

“I’m just figuring out who’s interested is all. Judging by the looks on those stallions they’re practically begging for a good roll in the hay. Isn’t that right boys?”

Stratos and Wisp gulped. “Well it isn’t every day we have an alicorn making…erm…advances on us.”

Molly giggled. “You see Tia they are simply two perfectly normal, perfectly healthy stallions looking for a good time. What kind of princess would I be if I didn’t help my subjects?

Celestia glared at her. “The kind of princess that isn’t actually a princess at all. As far as I’m concerned you have yet to even be considered in the running for a crown. Yes by some freak accident of magic you are technically related to Luna and me, but until I see any improvement on this immoral behavior of yours, then you do NOT get the right to be called a princess!”

“Tsk tsk, Tia the only reason I’m here is because of you. If you had just given into your own desires I wouldn’t even be here. All it would have taken was to open up those musty, old lips of yours.”

Celestia blushed. “They aren’t old…or musty. I’ll have you know they’re perfectly healthy.”

Both of the guards’ mouths practically dropped to the floor. They couldn’t believe what they were hearing. It was almost too much for their brains to process.

“It seems we’re making your poor guards all hot and bothered. To be thinking of their pure, innocent princess in such a naughty manner. How delicious…”

Molestia sauntered over to Wisp and used her mane to caress his cheek. Wisp’s eyes grew to the size of saucers but despite his surprise he had a rather contented look on his face. Seizing the moment, he caressed her cheek with his hoof. Molly smiled and pulled him into a deep kiss, practically sticking her tongue down his throat. Wisp pulled away thirty seconds later, along with a thin trail of saliva. His face was completely flushed.

Celestia could stand it no more. Donning the Royal Canterlot Voice, she shouted at her twin.

“THAT IS ENOUGH OF THIS FOOLISHNESS!”

The princess ripped Molestia away from Wisp and teleported her to Luna’s chambers.

Princess Luna was in her room enjoying a cup of tea while reading a newspaper. She was slightly surprised to see her sister appear in the middle of the room. However, what made her do a spit take was the other alicorn standing next to Celestia. Whenever Luna was surprised she adopted the Royal Canterlot Voice.

“WHAT IN THE SEVEN HELLS IS THAT CREATURE?”

“Lulu please calm down, I can explain.”

“E-explain what sister? That…thing is you, but it isn’t. Tis an unholy abomination. I must exorcise it!”

Celestia put herself between Luna and Molestia. “Lulu don’t be so rash, I know it seems rather unusual but bear with me. This is Molestia…Molly for short. She is the direct result of my session with the doctor.”

Luna cocked her head. “I don’t understand…this makes no sense.”

“Doctor Green used an experimental spell on my mind that was used to treat ponies with severe mental disorders. It had unforeseen consequences. He separated my libido from my consciousness and due to my extreme reservoirs of magic, it gained sentience.”

Luna flapped her wings in frustration. “So let me get this straight Tia. Instead of taking care of your heat normally you went and had an experimental procedure done to you, rather than relieve yourself? What in Tartarus were you thinking? I warned you this would not end well and now we have some…creature running about with your façade.”

“Luna I know I made a mistake, but on the bright side I don’t feel the effects of my heat anymore.”

“Please forgive me for withholding my enthusiasm.”

“Very well I deserve your sarcasm. But please Luna, I need your advice on how to deal with…her. I can’t just coronate her and call her our sister. It would cause mass panic! She’s far too salacious to be in the public eye.”

“Perhaps you are right Tia. Fear not, for I have an idea. I believe that Molly can be reformed through the magic of friendship, can she not?”

“Lulu you can’t possibly mean…”

“I do sister. It has been quite some time since your student has taken on any new projects.”

“I can’t burden him with Molestia. He would have a mental breakdown! He may be more socially adept than he was as a colt but he is still ignorant to the ways of lust and romance.”

Luna smirked. “Well then, it seems that both of them shall have a learning experience.”

Celestia levitated a scroll and quill in front of her, preparing to write what could possibly be one of the most embarrassing letters of her long life.

“Dusk Shine…please forgive me for this.”
