The whole room went into silence when Rainbow Dash finished her recounting of events. Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy stared in shock at Rainbow Dash and Celestia.

"Oh wow!" Fluttershy gushed blushing. "You did all that for me?"

Celestia nodded and gave Fluttershy a warm smile.

"Now wait just a minute!" Twilight spoke out. "You let everypony in Ponyville go into a panic, just so that Fluttershy could play out some sick fetish!"

"Um... excuse me Twilight, I'm right here and my fetish is not sick!" Fluttershy objected with confidence.

"No Fluttershy!" Twilight yelled. "It is sick and you need help, from a psychiatrist!" Twilight pointed her hoof at the yellow pegasus accusingly.

"Ya nearly let ‘im rape me!" Applejack yelled at her too.

"I'm sorry, I... I thought you might like it." Fluttershy backed away from the ponies scared by the anger they directed at her.

"Please don't blame her." Redblood interjected. "That was my fault, I did sign an agreement saying I could do nearly anything I wanted with her. But I got carried away and forgot that the line was drawn at other ponies."

Rarity stared at Redblood with a glare as he tried to apologize, but she could hold her frustration no longer and smacked Redblood in the cheek with her hoof. He stumbled back and howled in pain as he rubbed his jaw with his hoof, wondering if it was dislocated it. It was a surprisingly hard hit from such a delicate looking mare.

"That's for forcing yourself on Applejack!" Rarity shouted, her normal high class voice sounding very strange to her after having it sounding different for so long. "and Fluttershy, How could you?" she shook a hoof at the yellow filly.

Fluttershy backed into the corner of the cage and stared submissively at the cold stone floor of the cage. She loved it's simplicity, looking at her friends filled her with more dread and fear than ever when they gave her those disapproving looks.

"I'm so sorry." The pegasus whimpered.

"You..." Twilight started in anger again. "You selfish little slut!" She walked intimidatingly up to the cowering mare.

Applejack followed her lead. "Ya inconsiderate whorse!"

"ENOUGH!" Celestia called out to the room. It was in the royal Canterlot voice and none of the ponies had ever heard her use it before. Everypony in the room turned and looked at her in shock and fear.

"I want you to all calm down, my subjects" Celestia ordered in her voice sickly sweet again but with unwavering authority. "If you want to blame anypony it should be me. I was the one who approved this whole experiment after all."

All the ponies lowered their heads submissively at her and didn't dare say another word. Twilight though brought her head back up, her anger still seething and decided to obey the princess's request to lay all the blame on her.

"Experiment!" Twilight shouted. "What experiment?!"

Applejack not wanting to let Twilight brave the princess's wrath alone spoke up too. "This ere was all some twisted game, to ya?"

"I suppose it was, my little ponies..." Celestia carefully conceded, now she was getting a bit intimidated by the anger directed at her. Not because she was in anyway worried for her safety, but because she was worried for her students of harmony's respect for their ruler.

"Why would you do this princess?" Twilight dared to ask.

"As Rainbow Dash explained." Celestia replied. "I wanted to do something to reward some of the best ponies I have ever witnessed in my kingdom."

"Who?" Twilight scoffed. "That dirty slutty whorse behind me?" Twilight objected.

Fluttershy covered her face in behind her hooves in shame and wept at Twilight's hurtful words. Celestia shook her head with disapproval.

"Please my faithful student, don't call your friend those things." Celestia asked with politeness unfit for a monarch.

"Your faithful student..." Twilight nearly gagged as she repeated the words. She felt confused, shocked, disgusted and wondered if she could ever look at some ponies in the same way ever again. She felt her awe and respect for her teacher rapidly fading.

"Please continue." Celestia requested. "Don't fear holding anything back from me, no matter what you want to say."

Twilight wasn't sure how to continue and simply said. "I thought I respected you princess."

"Why would ya let Fluttershy do all this?" Applejack demanded to know.

"I wanted to see how my little ponies would react..." Celestia explained. "I was wondering just to what extent your elements could be tested."

"Are ya kidding me?" Applejack commented.

Celestia looked down at Twilight in particular with a frown. "So far Twilight Sparkle you are failing."

"Failing. Failing what?" Twilight asked confused.

"Your element represents the most powerful magical force of all, Friendship."

"Friendship?" Twilight repeated wondering if she missed something.

"The ability to not let anything come between your love for another pony, unconditional acceptance." Celestia said.

"Now wait just a minute" Applejack objected. "What you are sayin' is we should stay friends with a pony, no matter what they do, like Fluttershy using all our friendships against us, ta’ make us all worry sick, an’ go all out tryin' ta’ rescue her?"

"I think the lesson here." Rarity defended. "Is that we shouldn't ostracise a pony just because they do something in the comfort of their own home that some ponies might find objectionable or dirty, just because it doesn't appeal to them. But I think you should not have involved your other friends Fluttershy."

"I told you Rarity." Twilight shot back. "I don't mind that you have this job, but why did you have to keep it from us?"

"Maybe, it's because of the way you are treating poor Fluttershy right now, I think I have good reason to worry you might call me a slut and a whorse if I came out about what I do."

"But that's different." Twilight objected. "You’re just helping ponies..." Twilight looked a little confused at the thoughts forming through her head.

"Helping ponies realize their fetishes." Rarity continued for her.

"Ya, but Fluttershy's so called fetish, put y'all through a lot of pain." Applejack argued.

"I'm sorry..." Fluttershy cried. "I was desperate."

"That's no excuse!" Twilight yelled. "You had no right to involve us all like this, If you wanted to do this you should have found a stallion and kept it to yourself, behind closed doors!"

"C-c-c-can you forgive me Twilight?" Fluttershy asked meekly.

"Urgh, ask me later and I'll think about it." Twilight scoffed.

"Now that we have all calmed down, can I share something with you all?" Celestia requested.

"Why even ask, you are our ruler." Twilight scoffed.

Celestia sighed. "I would rather you all see me as a friend girls, not your dictator."

"What did you want to tell us princess?" Asked Rainbow Dash, fascinated by everything that was going on. She wasn't sure who's side to take, but she didn't feel like any of her friends were deserving of hate.

"Me and my sister Luna are very different ponies, we are as opposite as night and day. There was a time when Luna discovered that I had some pretty perverse interests myself and she hated me for a long time and called me a whorse and slut for a long time."

"Is that why you sent her to the moon?" Rainbow Dash asked a little disgusted at the prospect.

"No no no" Celestia shook her head. "But that may have contributed party toward my sister's hatred towards me, I would never banish my sister just for not loving me alone. She was still consumed by jealousy for many other reasons and Nightmare Moon used that all against her. Luna may have hated the things some ponies got up to behind closed doors, especially at night. But it was Nightmare Moon that made her go to the unacceptable extreme and start executing ponies for acts of love as vanilla as anal intercourse. So to this day I keep such knowledge from my sister and let her think the world is all vanilla sex for procreation."

"Luna is really that uptight?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"That's right and to be honest I had no idea if any of you were as well." Celestia responded.

As everypony in the room tried to take it all in and formulate their thoughts. A scooter came whizzing into the room, being ridden by a little orange filly. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle yelled out as they saw the black stallion.

"There he is!"

Pinkie Pie suddenly jumped off the Scooter despite not being on it a moment ago with a massive delicious looking pink cake. She threw the cake at Redblood hitting him square in the face.

"Eat Cake!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

Redblood had his mouth partly open in surprise and some of the cake went straight down his throat. He immediately started trying to cough it up as he choked.

"Yay! I slayed the evil ponynapper" She called out in triumph as Redblood collapsed to the ground gagging.

"Pinkie, what did you do?!" Twilight gasped.

"We are Cutie Mark Crusaders Avengers!" The three little fillies called out.

"No!" Rarity quickly picked up Redblood and tried to hit his back to get him to stop choking.

"Why are you trying to save the baddie Rarity?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"He wasn't a bad pony you idiot!" Rarity yelled. "What was in that cake?!"

"Very potent poison" Pinkie replied with pride. But then her smile faded when she looked around to see the shocked expressions on her friends faces. Why weren't they cheering and partying?

"Master!" Fluttershy rushed to the door of the cage and hit it with her hooves. "Master don't die!"

Rarity managed to get Redblood to cough up the cake that was stuck in his throat. But his pupils were dilated and he started vomiting.

"Pinkie what have you done?" Twilight gasped.

"But he was the bad guy." Pinkie argued in confusion.

"Princess, can ya help him. Ah wanna see him punished for rapin' meh but he dun’ deserve to die." Applejack asked.

Celestia trotted to the vomiting black earth pony and touched his chest with her long horn. Redblood's whole body started to glow and Celestia grunted in pain as she detected where the poison was hurting him the most and started to draw it out into her horn.

Sweetie Belle's eyes centered on Rarity and she looked at her with shock when she noticed the full body latex suit that covered all but her head, she gasped.

"Sis?" She asked with a confused look.

"Sweetie Belle, what you doing here?" Rarity asked back just as perplexed by the sudden appearance of the foals.

The small white filly's eyes brimmed with tears as she took in the outfit that belonged to her ponynapper. Rarity looked down at her legs and was just reminded about what she was wearing. The little white filly yelped in shock and ran away from the evil ponynapper that was somehow her sister. She rushed up the stairs out of the scary basement, her mind unable to comprehend what was going through her head.

Rarity stepped forward frantically. "Wait, Sweetie Belle!" The cutie mark crusaders looked at Rarity with disgust that she expected, but something about their expressions filled her with dread.

"You monster!" Scootaloo called out.

"Leave her alone, murderer!" Applebloom growled. She stomped her hoof down in front of the stairs, she was shaking a bit from fear, that the evil pony would attack her too, but stood her ground determined to protect her friend.

"What?" Rarity stared at her in confusion.

Applebloom looked around realizing that Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were there, but held her resolve.

"You... you nearly killed Sweetie Belle!" Scootaloo shouted.

Rarity lightly picked up the fillies with her magic and rushed past them after her sister. They lost their courage, suddenly realizing how easily the magic could crush them if Rarity wanted it too.

<hr>

"Little sis, Wait!" Rarity called out. It didn't take long for Rarity to catch up, her longer legs allowing her to outpace the filly. Once she was in range she used her magic to hold Sweetie in place, causing her to struggle while she tried to calm her down by stroking her head. Her hoof tapped the filly's horn and she realized something was wrong.

It took a while for the unicorn to get her sister to stop crying and tell her what was wrong. She explained what happened in the room she was locked in and about going to the hospital. Rarity felt horrified and cried with the filly repeating over and over how sorry she was.

"Please forgive me Sweetie Belle, I never meant to hurt you, i'm so sorry." She pleaded.

"Why?" Sweetie Belle demanded.

Rarity paused for a long time, wondering how she could possibly justify what she did, to her of all ponies.

"I... uh..." She stammered as she tried to speak, but had no idea what she could say. She couldn't possibly explain it to such a innocent young filly.

Sweetie Belle pushed herself out of Rarity's hooves and ran back toward the house.

"I hate you sis!" The filly screamed.

Rarity felt gutted, never before had she heard Sweetie Belle say that with such sincerity. She collapsed on the spot and shed a tear, she knew that her sister would likely never want to speak to her again.

Redblood started coughing and gasping for air. He had been unconscious for ten minutes while Celestia diligently worked her magic to evaporate the poison. It was a difficult spell and left her drained.

"Welcome back, subject" Celestia beamed. The black stallion looked around wondering if he was in Tartarus. But realized it was the same dark creepy dungeon he was familiar with. The cage was open and Fluttershy was nuzzling him lovingly and in relief.

Twilight sighed, she felt her heart melt a bit at the clearly either brainwashed or in love pink maned friend, but still didn't want to even make eye contact with her.

The ponies all stared at each other awkwardly. Things were going to be strange for a long time.
