Fluttershy

"I don't understand." Fluttershy looked around but all she saw were every animal was terrified and even hiding from her. "Why are they scared. Oh I'm not going to hurt you little guys."

But the animals only ran away from Fluttershy. Back in Ponyville, the critters and animals flocked and gathered, but in Canterlot, the animals acted like Fluttershy was trying to eat them. Even the lions and tigers and bears were scared.

"Oh my." Fluttershy sighed, sitting down to ponder. "Why won't they come to me. Maybe I just need to be assertive, yeah empowered."

Rainbow Dash

"Why is it so loud!?" Rainbow said aloud but in the crowd of ponies, it might as well have been a whisper.

Only a couple hours in and hanging with the Wonderbolts, and Rainbow hasn't had a single moment to talk to Spitfire about joining. Gently pushing and shoving through the crowd, Rainbow finally got back to Spitfire.

"Hey I was wondering-" But Rainbow's voice was drowned out by the mass conversations all at once. "HELLO!!" But Spitfire didn't hear or notice Rainbow's talking.

"Grrrr" Rainbow began grinding her teeth in frustration. "This isn't hanging out or helping me show off my mad skills!"

Dusk

"Well it wasn't a big deal." Dusk was awkwardly finishing his story. "It was only a cranky Ursa Minor, so just giving it milk and rocking it to sleep seemed like the best plan."

"That is amazing." The crowd of eager ponies applauded at Dusk's story.

"Mister Shine. That was quite a fascinating story." A refined sounding voice congratulated Dusk's story.

Dusk looked to see:

"Oh Mister Fancy Pants." Dusk nodded. "It's good to see you again."

"It is good to see you as well." Fancy smiled. "I am surprised you remember me."

"Well you were the only judge in my magic entrance exam that thought I had a chance." Dusk chuckled a tad.

"Well I am glad I made quite the investment." Fancy chuckled back.

"Investment?" Dusk asked.

"Oh how rude of me." Fancy apologized. "Let me explain. When you took you exam, the other judges were certain that you'd fail, just like that colt that was there a week before you, what was his name, some blue colt with a messy brown mane and tail. Anyway, I made a bet with them that you would pass and you did. Made over 1000 bits from that wager."

"That's quite daring." Another wealthy looking pony spoke up. "I would never have made such a measly bet, well not a measly 1000 bits over a colt."

"Not at all my friend, I was bored and wanted entertainment." Fancy laughed a bit.

Eventually the crowd started closing in and Dusk saw it was getting harder and harder to get away. Like a tide, Dusk was being swept in by the crowd.

'This is why I don't come to these things.' Dusk cursed in his head.

Applejack

"This ain't what I expected." Applejack hunched over in confusion and disappointment. "It's been an hour, maybe three and all I've sold were that pie and a small tart here and there." She then looked into her bits bucket. "I've only made maybe 20, 23 bits. I need to sell more soon or the food'll get cold."

"I'd like to buy one." A stallion's voice requested.

"Well no problem partner." The happy Applejack passed along a few apple tarts to the two stallions in front of her stand.

As the two stallions walked away, they happened to notice Blueblood with Rarity, walking towards the more secluded parts of the garden.

"Looks like Blueblood found a new one." One stallion chuckled.

"You know what that means." The other laughed. "Get some drinks."

Fluttershy

"I just need to be a little more assertive and maybe have a firmer hoof." Fluttershy said to herself, setting up her small trap. A box, held up by a stick with a carrot as the bait. "Just like Dusk suggests I should try. I'm so sorry for scaring you all, but I'll be leaving now."

Fluttershy took a few steps and hid behind a nearby bush, holding the rope needed to spring the trap in her mouth. Waiting like a hunter, Fluttershy watched and listen for the trap to spring. After hearing the sound of rustling, she pulled her cord, causing the the trap to fall. But what she caught was the elderly groundskeeper pony.

"Grrr." Fluttershy was becoming quite livid.

Pinkie Pie

"Maybe we should." Pinkie suggested to herself.

[No.] Pinkamena shook her head in Pinkie's mind. [These snobs don't want to hear the Pony Pokey, I sure as Tartaras don't want to.]

"Oh come on." Pinkie protested. "Everypony likes the Pony Pokey."

[I swear to Celestia. If you try the Pony Pokey.] Pinkamena threatened. [I'm gonna kill somepony, probably Dusk.]

"I know you won't do that." Pinkie giggled.

[You ready to take the risk?] Pinkamena's wicked grin almost burned through Pinkie's mind.

"Yes, I am not gonna let this opportunity slip by me." Pinkie said in a determined tone, stepping to the stage.

[Don't come crying to me when it fails] Pinkamena said, suppressing herself back in Pinkie's mind.

Pinkie quickly bounced to the stage, and with the correct polite requesting and a hoof full of bits, the musicians playing reluctantly agreed to play the Pony Pokey. Pinkie took hold of the mic:

Fluttershy

"I'll get you yet my pretties." Fluttershy declared with a twitchy eye, she was reaching the ends of her rope and possible sanity. In front of her was a giant net that was supported by the nearby trees. "Oh yes. As soon as you little birds, or monkeys, or bears touches this net, you be mine, MINE!!"

But in her moment of evil laugh, Fluttershy lost her balance and fell into her own trap, caught in the net, dangling from a tree. Fluttershy only let out a sigh of defeat. But she was determined to see this through to the end. But in the distance, Fluttershy saw something.

"What's Rarity doing with that stallion?" Fluttershy wondered.

Rarity

"I don't see him anywhere." Rarity said, looking around the gardens. In her haste and distraction to find Dusk, she failed to notice Blueblood was checking her out, almost undressing her with his eyes.

"I don't know what to say." Blueblood lied. "I thought I saw him go this way, maybe we just need to go deeper in."

"Now I don't think we need to go in that de-eekk!" When Rarity turned around, there wasn't just Blueblood but two more stallions, the ones that went to Applejack's stand.

"You really found a good one this time Blueblood." One stallion chuckled, looking Rarity over. "A classy looking one with a lot of self respect. Such a good one."

"W-what are you talking abou-" Rarity then found her mouth was being forced into a puckered opening by the other stallion's magic.

Unable to stop them, Rarity was forced to drink something the first stallion held in a small wine glass.

"Shh shh. Don't worry. It'll feel better soon enough." The stallion laughed.

Rarity's eyes got heavy and she blacked out. Leaving the second stallion to lift her with his magic.

"Now you made sure this one doesn't have any rich family this time right?" The first stallion laughed a bit.

"Not to worry." Blueblood laughed. "Despite her graceful appearance. She's a bumkin from that backwater Ponyville. No strong connection and probably has a family that can be easily bought off."

"Let's just hope this doesn't end up like the last one." The second laughed. "She was so broken that I think you can still tap it for two bits and a smile. But this one looks like she can last a little longer. Also, Blueblood, what will you do if this one has a kid like the rest?"

"Why do you think I only go after mares with little to no influence." Blueblood laughed. "They can never prove it's mine and even if they could, I can buy them off with my aunt's money. So there is no real risk. Besides, there's nothing more amusing than watching the mares beg, plead, and cry as I reem them."

"You're quite the sadist." The second pony laughed. "Just be sure my brother and I get a turn this time."

"Only after I've had my fun." Blueblood smiled in triumph, leading his group deeper into the garden's maze.

But unbeknownst to the group, a certain blue pegasus just happened to be flying nearby. In her latest attempt to impress the Wonderbolts, Rainbow tried preforming some elaborate tricks but no pony saw. But thankfully she tried to.

"That no good, creepy, bucker!" Rainbow cursed. "I need to get some help." Rainbow then looked and saw her target. "I'll have Dusk help me out."

Rune

"So tell me about yourself." Fleur asked Rune, as they began their next dance. "It's been so long since-"

"Since your parents caught us in bed." Rune chuckled nervously. "This isn't some plan to get me arrested again, is it? I mean are they still pissed?"

"Not this dance." Fleur giggled. "But they have still be trying to petition for you to be banished. But now-a-days, they just send it in once a month or so and are generally ignored."

"Well they know how to hold a grudge." Rune laughed a bit. "All I did was-"

"Deflower their investment, risk a pregnancy, and nearly cause a conflict between two families." Fleur finished the line. "But it's okay, I didn't want to marry that boring stallion who 'preferred virgins', besides, I am happy with Fancy, he treats me well."

"I'm feeling a 'but' coming." Rune raised his eyebrow.

"But..." Fleur sighed. "Because of the Gala preparations and his busy job in Canterlot, he's always busy. Don't get me wrong, he greets the day with a smile, eats breakfast with me, and diner. We have a loving marriage."

"But..?" Rune asked.

"He hasn't well.. touched me in months now." Fleur sighed. "And I don't want to cheat on him, but a mare has needs."

"Well have you tried masturbating." Rune bluntly asked.

"To be honest." Fleur replied almost as bluntly. "I was just about to finish when a servant to me to get ready for the Gala, so I'm still rather tense."

"Well, i might be able to help you." Rune chuckled. "If you want to."

"Well what do you have in mind?" Fleur raised an eyebrow.

Rune leaned in and whispered something into Fleur's ear.

"Oh my." Fleur blushed. "Well I may consider it, if we can find somewhere a little more...private."

"And what about Fancy?" Rune chuckled.

"He'll be fine." Fleur said, ending their dance and starting to walk away, making sure Rune saw the way she moved her hips. "A little known secret of Fancy is he loves competition. 'It's how business works.' As he would put it."

"And You won't have me arrested?" Rune had to be sure.

"Not unless you preform well." Fleur winked. And the two ponies soon wandered away from crowd to find a more secluded place.

Rarity

Her body twitched and she could feel muscles relaxing. Another feeling that went over her was some moistening, and something was rubbing her neither regions. Trying to move, Rarity found her arms were tied together, and her legs were held open, she could even feel a blindfold over her eyes. But she could almost recognize the feeling she was getting, arousal and it was quickly spreading through her. Because of this, her magic was ineffective.

"Be sure to get her nice and wet for me." Blueblood ordered as he watched the two stallions warming Rarity up.

The first Stallion was busy holding open Rarity's legs, while his brother was busy using his tongue to lap up Rarity's marehood, getting it wet and ready for Blueblood. He made sure not to stick his tongue inside, as that 'privilege' was for Blueblood to have first. They would have to wait their turns.

"Just make sure we get to have our fun too." The brothers said. "And preferably, not as sloppy as the last."

"No promises." Blueblood laughed, gesturing his friend to move. "Just show me that bitch's pussy."

The stallion moved out of the way to show off Rarity's bare and pink pussy, ready for a thrusting.

"How strong was that drink you gave?" Blueblood chuckled. "She's even wetter than the last bitch."

"We gave her more than the usual." The other stallion answered. "She'll be begging for you in no time."

Just as Blueblood angled himself to thrust into the unwilling Rarity, there was a loud rustling, as if something was running through the hedges at a fast pace.

"What the-" The first stallion said as he then felt a hard pressed hoof against his face.

Out of the bushes came Applejack, with a swift blow from her bucking hoof, knocked the first stallion out cold.

"Who the buck!?" The second stallion didn't have long to say before a certain blue pegasus's hoof struck him in the face and knocked him out.

"Back away from our friend!!" Applejack and Rainbow shouted.

"Who the buck are you to interrupt my fun!?" Blueblood shouted in protest.

"Fun is it!" A majestic, yet very angry sounding voice asked.

Coming out of the nearby maze corner was Princess Luna, accompanied by Dusk.

"A-auntie Luna!!" Blueblood's blood ran cold with fear. "This..uh..this..uh...this harlot tried to seduce me!"

"Blueblood!!" Luna went into her loud shout. "How dare you attempt to force yourself onto an innocent mare, a friend to us and then have the gaul to try and deceive us with lies!!"

"B-but A-auntie." Blueblood tried to explain.

"SILENCE!!" Luna shouted and it was as if the world shut up at once. "FOR YOUR HEINOUS CRIMES AND DISCOURSE, WE THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT SENTENCE YOU TO BANISHMENT!!"

"Wait no!! Anything but that!!" Blueblood pleaded and begged.

"LET IT BE DONE!!" Luna raised her horn and with a blast of dark blue magic, Blueblood passed out into a coma-like sleep.

"Rarity!" Dusk ran over to Rarity to see if she was okay.

"What did you do?" Applejack asked.

"Not to worry to much." Luna smiled. "We sent him within an endless Nightmare. It is not permanent but he will be facing his darkest fears in his mind. When we feel the need to, we shall release him. Now tend to your friend, we must bring this disgrace to our sister."

Luna then lifted Blueblood, along with the other member of his little gang and trotted away. Dusk wasted no time to take off the rope and take off the blindfold.

"Rarity, are you okay!?" Dusk shook Rarity a bit.

"She looks fine." Rainbow said confidently. "I'll head back to the Wonderbolts."

Rainbow then flew off, leaving Dusk, Rarity, and Applejack.

"Oh Dusk." Rarity opened her crying eyes, hugging Dusk. "I was so scared, they were gonna do such horrible things to me."

"It's okay Rarity." Dusk hugged Rarity back. "Are you okay, you look red."

"Oh, I just noticed how good you look in that-" Rarity didn't finish before she smacked her mouth against Dusk's, forcing her tongue into his mouth to play with his tongue.

"And what in tarnation you doing!?" Applejack pulled Rarity off Dusk. "Just because we saved you, doesn't mean you can-"

Applejack couldn't finish as Rarity did the same to her mouth, forcing her tongue in the farm mare's mouth. Applejack felt her legs get wobbly and her body was going numb as she dropped to the ground.

"What did you do?" Applejack asked.

"I just realized how you look really good in a dress. And I couldn't help myself. " Rarity then looked back to Dusk. "And I think he liked it too."

Dusk looked down and saw an unusually sized erection sticking out of his suit. "How did-"

"Shh shh." Rarity made her way to Dusk, rubbing the erection's head with her hoof. "Let Applejack and I handle this."

"Both of us?" Applejack asked, but she couldn't resist the feeling she felt inside and she could almost smell the masculinity from Dusk's body.

"I'm sure he can handle us both. And I'm in the mood to share." Rarity winked at Applejack, then looked at Dusk. "Now, where were we?"

Dusk could only gulp in a nervous manner.

Pinkie

"Come on everypony!!" Pinkie tried using a DJ booth to liven up the party. "Let's get this party started!"

Doing the best she could, Pinkie played a techno style song, almost shaking the hall with the bass and vibration. The trembling interrupted the conversations and started shaking the statues.

"This is my chance!" Rainbow saw the statues about to fall.

Just as the statue gave way, Rainbow swooped in and caught the statue, holding it up by the strength of her back. Smiling at Spitfire and Soarin, Rainbow hoped they saw her 'heroics'. But they couldn't see or hear anything over the sound of the techno music.

"Damn iiii-woah!!" Rainbow couldn't hold up the statue any more and it fell over, knocking down other statues, which soon smashed the DJ Booth and the crowd began panicking and running about.

[Now this is a party!] Pinkamena laughed in Pinkie's mind. [Violence, panic, destruction...good times]

Because the sounds and crashes and panicking ponies were almost shaking the whole castle, Princess Celestia and Nightwing hurried to investigate the loud noises.

"What's going on?" Celestia said, walking in the room along with Nightwing.

"Figures you highness." Nightwing remarked. "I look away and the Gala falls apart."

"Nightwing!" Armor and Cadance came from behind. "We heard several loud bangs. Is something happening?"

"From the looks of it." Nightwing assessed the situation. "The guests your brother brought with him have all but destroyed the Gala halls. I'll have the guards kick them out in a sec."

"There's no real need Captain Nightwing." Luna said, joining the conversation. "Nopony seems to be getting hurt, and all damages can be repaired. Besides, it is interesting to see the Gala a little livened up."

"As you say Princess." Nightwing nodded, signally his guards to assist any gusts that needing help and stopping the falling statues.

Soon enough, Dusk, Applejack, and Rarity walked into the room, after their little 'fun'.

"What's going on!?" The three ponies looked at the scene before them.

At the same time, Rune and Fleur had finished their little 'fun'.

"And what's happening!?" Fleur asked.

"Random excitement I think." Rune laughed. "And here I thought all that shaking was just us."

"At least it can't get any worse." Dusk sighed.

And no sooner did he say that, almost every animal in Canterlot ran through the outside door in a panic and stampede. Behind them was Fluttershy. Her dress was torn and dirty, her mane was a mess of leaves and twigs, her eye was twitching and she had an almost growl across her face.

The animals only added to the chaos.

"Uh oh crap!" Dusk said as he saw the chaos.

Suddenly, Dusk heard Celestia's voice in his head. 'Run!'

Dusk whistled to get the girl's attention, and signaled them to run out of the Gala halls as fast as they could.

Spike

"Hey Pony Joe?" Spike asked, slamming down an empty hot chocolate mug. "Another doughnut."

"Don't you think you had enough?" A light amber and brown named unicorn stallion asked.

"Another doughnut!" Spike slammed the mug again. "Extra sprinkles."

Joe sighed, then smiled when he saw the door open. "Dusk Shine. How ya doing?"

Spike turned to see everypony's attire was all but destroyed and they did not look happy.

"Hey! How was the Gala?" Spike walked up to them. "What happened, all your outfits are torn."

"It's a long story." Dusk sighed. "Ready the doughnuts Joe."

After the long explanation of the night, excluding the sex parts, Dusk and the other mares explained how the night was not what they expected.

"That sounds terrible." Spike said, munching on a doughnut. "But what happened to Rune, I don't see him."

"Rune said he had to go home as soon as he could." Dusk said. "He wouldn't say why, but that he had to go. So I helped him teleport back to Ponyville."

"I just hope Princess Celestia isn't too upset." Spike said.

"Oh I wouldn't worry about that." Celestia said, walking into the room, smiling.

"Princess Celestia!?" The ponies and Spike said in surprise.

"Although there were some unfortunate moments." Celestia looked at Rarity with a sympathetic face, and whispered something only Rarity could hear. "I'll make sure he never does that again.""Aside from all that, this Gala was the most lively."

"You mean you're not mad?" Dusk asked. "But we practically destroyed the main hall and flooded it with terrified animals."

"It's fine." Celestia smiled. "Captain Armor and Nightwing are handling the crowd control and have already began repairs. My sister and niece are relaxing the guests and explaining that everything is fine."

"I see, well it's a good thing that nopony got hurt." Dusk looked around. "And I'll admit the Gala was a little different than I expected, but I'm happy I got to spend it with my friends."

The rest of the evening was spent at Doughnut Joe's bakery, eating and laughing, Dusk and his friends then decided to take the train home. On the train ride home, all but Dusk and Spike fell asleep.

"Something the matter bro?" Spike asked.

"I'm just curious...no, more like worried." Dusk explained. "Rune looked like he was in some form of panic. Why did he need to go home so quickly?"

Rune

"I'm back Zecora!" Rune said, walking into the hut,

"And so you have and I must inquire." Zecora slowly got up and hugged Rune. "Did you bring what i desired?"

"I hope it make you happy." Rune reached into his pocket and pulled out the oddly shaped vial. It was almost completely full of a mixture of what could be assumed as Fleur's juices and his own cum.

Zecora took the vial and emptied its contents into the cauldron that was already bubbling. The contents bubbled loudly and almost in a violent manner until it settled and a pinkish orange smoke fumed out of the cauldron. Zecora leaned over and took a big whiff of the fumes; her eyes almost rolled back and her legs became wobbly.

"So did it work?" Rune asked, a tad nervous, but mostly curious.

"The feeling over me sends shivers through me like a sharp song." Zecora moved over and gave Rune a deep kiss. "It means you are passionate and strong."

"So I pass?" Rune asked again.

"There is nothing to worry about." Zecora apologized for making Rune go through that ordeal. "Your love, passion, and strength will never come into doubt."

Zecora then gestured that she had to sit down, as if she wasn't feeling too well.

"Zecora!?" Rune helped her to the bed, for her to lay on her back. "Now tell me, what's wrong, are you okay!?"

"That question I can not long keep rejecting." Zecora rubbed her hoof on Rune's face in a gentle manner. "Rune, my love, I am..........."
