The faint singing of the nearby finches in the window echoed through the hollow tree house. It was a truly peaceful morning, even though Spike wasn't yet awake to enjoy it. However, as usual, Twilight was. She had been reading yet another history book about Starswirl the Bearded, trying to piece together any information about Alex's strange magic. For once, she didn't stay awake the whole night trying to do so. She took a deep breath of the fresh morning air coming through the window and her tail swished back and forth involuntarily as she stared at the text in front of her.

However, she wasn't as relaxed as she should have been. Anxiety filled her veins every time she was reminded of her upcoming meeting. Even though she was able to get quite a bit of studying done thus far, she couldn't help but space out and daydream about what might happen later that day.

Her horn glowed for a moment and her magic forced the thick aged page to turn. Her eyes narrowed and her eyebrows furrowed a bit after reading the first few bits of the new page.

"That's odd..." She flipped the page back and forth to confirm before talking to herself again.

"This is the cutie mark that Alex has... But this one..." She turned the page back and tapped her hoof on the ancient symbol. "Looks completely different. Hmm..."

Twilight rubbed her chin. A dozen possibilities formed in her head and none of them made sense in retrospect. The marking below the cutie mark was written in a language that hadn't been used in centuries, but luckily, Princess Luna was kind enough to loan Twilight a collection of the translations that she had made over the years. It wasn't complete, but it still helped. Twilight looked closely at the text below the symbol and referred back to the translation book on her right.

"Root..." Her eyes stared at the ceiling as she contemplated.

What was it a root of? And what branched from it? Was there some sort of ceremony or event that needed to take place in order for the change to happen? All these hypotheticals swirled in her head until she realized that, with one translation, she had opened up a dozen doors for further study. She groaned a bit and book-marked the page she was on and closed it. Too much studying at one time wasn't good for the eyes, and it wasn't good for the mind. Even somepony as smart as Twilight knew the value of not having a fried brain.

She got back up on all fours and gritted her teeth as a few joints worked out their stiffness from lying down for the past two hours. Without taking her first step, her magic was already fixing breakfast in the kitchen. She was a bit tired of having cereal, so she decided to open the fridge and crack a couple of eggs into a bowl to make some scrambled eggs.

Her ears perked up and she almost dropped the eggs onto the floor as she stopped in the walkway into the kitchen. The knocks on her door were a little softer and more polite than she was accustomed to, with the exception of Fluttershy and Rarity.

Twilight decided to abandon the eggs and answer the door first, even though her stomach was growling slightly. She refocused her magic onto her front door and opened it.

"Sup, Twi?" Rainbow Dash greeted her as she walked inside. As usual, she didn't bother to ask whether or not she could come in.

Twilight sighed and smiled." Already finished with that Daring Doo book I gave you?" She pulled out issue seven of Daring Doo and set it down on the coffee table.

"Oh... Well, not quite yet. But I'll go ahead and borrow this one now. Thanks." Rainbow shoved the book into her bag and then put it down on the floor next to the couch. She smiled a little when she saw the slight indentation in the wall to her right from Alex's little episode a while back.

"Alright, then. Have you eaten yet? I was just about to make some eggs."

"Nah, I already had some grits back at home. Still picking them out of my teeth, though..." She mumbled to herself and plopped herself down on the couch.

"Hey, Spike's still asleep, right?" She looked over the back of the couch at Twilight who was in the middle of beating the eggs.

"Yeah, why?"

"Oh, okay... Well, um..." Rainbow Dash's cheeks turned a light shade of pink as she fumbled for words. "I was thinking maybe... Since it's just the two of us for a while..."

Twilight already knew what she was about to ask. The two of them had been discussing it for awhile and she knew that the situation would pop up sooner or later. Twilight blushed and stared down at the bowl, but remained silent.

"I... I guess we could..." Twilight put down the whisk. Her body was already getting a little excited from the anticipation.

"Really?!" Rainbow caught herself and lowered her voice. "I mean... Are you really okay with it?"

"Well, Alex did say that I needed some other way to treat these...hormones... I just don't want this to spoil our friendship or anything..." Twilight walked out of the kitchen and sat down next to Rainbow with her eyes glued to the floor.

"Nah, don't worry about that. It's just a mutual favor between friends, right?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Twilight stayed still and kept looking at the ground.

"What's wrong? If you're not okay with it, then-"

"No, I'm okay with it. I'm just a little nervous." She smiled awkwardly as her blush grew.

Rainbow stared at her for a few moments before a sly grin grew on her face.

"What?" Twilight glanced over at her with a nervous giggle.

"Ya' know, I never really told you this, but you're kinda cute."

Twilight's blush reddened even more and her hooves shifted. She could hear the couch cushions rustling as Rainbow Dash crawled over to her. She was already past the point of no return and Twilight knew that whatever was going to happen was about to happen in the next few seconds. She looked to her right at Rainbow and almost jumped when she saw that she was right in her face.

"Don't worry Twi, I'll help you calm down. Just lay on your back and let the master work."

A strange urge almost tempted Twilight to embrace her in a deep kiss at that moment, but she held it off and did as she was told. She turned around and lay with her belly up on the couch, looking up at her pegasus friend from below. Rainbow Dash slowly and smoothly climbed on top of her and looked down into her eyes before taking a deep breath and leaning down to kiss her. Twilight immediately closed her eyes out of courtesy and prepared herself.

Their lips made contact and Twilight nearly let out a moan. Her body was already quivering in excitement and as Rainbow's lips sucked and kissed hers, she could feel her wings stiffen a bit. In addition, Twilight could feel Rainbow's hooves rub her sides softly. It tickled a little since she was rubbing her fur against the grain, but she still enjoyed the sensation.

A thin string of saliva hung between the mares' mouths as Rainbow pulled back and looked down at her again. She couldn't help but giggle in excitement.

"See? That wasn't so bad, was it?"

Twilight shook her head slightly and stared back into her eyes.

"I'm actually quite good at this, ya' know..." Rainbow leaned back down and Twilight closed her eyes for another kiss, but her body shivered as she felt her soft lips kiss her neck instead.

"Ahh..." Twilight let out a gentle moan which encouraged Rainbow Dash to kiss more.

With a tiny spark of her magic, she locked the front door as well as the door leading up to the room that Spike was in.

Rainbow Dash pulled back and formed another naughty grin on her face as she looked over Twilight's body. She heard the deadbolts lock around her and knew what Twilight's intentions were at that point.

"Ready, Princess?" She whispered erotically.

Twilight nodded after a nervous gulp and smiled up at her.

Your body flinched suddenly as you felt a tap on your side. You were in the middle of a somewhat peaceful sleep despite the occasional bumps and noises from the train. Vinyl was kind enough to lend you her lap to lay your head on, which helped quite a bit. It was just as warm and inviting as any other part of her body and you would easily chose it over a pillow any night.

"H-huh?" It took you a little while to remember where you were as you shielded your eyes with your hoof from the strong orange beam of morning sunlight.

"Wake up, dude. We're almost there!"

"Oh..." You groaned a bit and sat back up on the train seat next to Vinyl. You still had to cover your eyes with your hoof for a good while, but you were eventually able to see out of the window at what lay beyond.

For a second, you thought you were right back in Ponyville. It confused you because the vast fields of green grass looked similar to the ones back at home. However, as your eyes adjusted, you could see ridiculously tall buildings on the horizon. That was when you realized you were in a different place. Still, the area had beauty to it. Every once and a while, you could see an occasional lonely tree on the open field which most likely was the home of nearby animals trying to escape the rising sun.

You could feel Vinyl's soft white hoof stroke your mane. "You're kinda cute when you're sleepy."

You were glad everything was back to normal after what happened a while back, but you still felt as if you didn't deserve her full affection quite yet. Still, you decided not to complain and you smiled back to her before giving her a gentle kiss on her cheek.

"You sleep alright?" She looked over at you as if there was something funny about you.

"Yeah... your lap feels nice." You rubbed your eyes and took a deep breath.

"Well, I can see you enjoyed it a lot." Vinyl giggled a little.

"Huh? Why's that?"

It was then that you noticed that the right side of your face felt strange. You felt over it with your hoof and quickly discovered that the fur on your face was completely messed up and tangled from sleeping on Vinyl's lap. Embarrassed, you tried to straighten it out with your hoof.

"Chill, babe. You look fine. It's not like my dad's gonna care, anyways."

Despite her request, you still tried to make it look neater. However, you quickly gave up once you realized that you'd need a brush to do so.

"How much longer till we're there?"

The train jolted you a bit as it slowed down which was quickly followed by a loud whistle and the conductor's shouting.

"Manehattan outskirts!"

Vinyl's face lit up and she pulled you up by your shoulders quickly.

"Come on, Alex! That's us!"

"Hope he's not that overprotective type who'd shoot me full of buckshot if he found out I was screwing his daughter..."

You thought to yourself and groaned as you got up and tried to catch up with Vinyl, who was already hopping out of the train car door and onto the train station. You couldn't help but smile at how happy she was. With another groan, you rose from your seat and worked out the stiffness in your legs by attempting to catch up with her.

"R-Rainbow..."

"Mhmm?" Rainbow Dash looked up at her after kissing and nibbling at Twilight's belly for quite some time.

Twilight's face was still blushing and she was ashamed to say the words. "Could you speed things up a bit? I'm..."

"Yes, Princess?" Rainbow licked further down Twilight's belly and spoke in a soft yet seductive voice.

"I don't like teasing..." Twilight looked to the side, embarrassed.

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting the meek and modest Princess Twilight Sparkle to be so greedy.

"You asked for it..."

Rainbow Dash's tongue left a trail of damp purple fur on Twilight as her head slid lower down her body. It wasn't long until she could smell Twilight's sex. Even though she was asked to move things along, she always liked to tease before she went for the main course. The horny pegasus licked around the inside of Twilight's legs and closed her eyes. She could taste the fluids coming from Twilight's marehood, which suggested that she had been turned on for quite some time now. It was the only explanation given the fact that her juices were already halfway down her legs.

"Geez, Twi. Didn't know you wanted it this bad..." Rainbow Dash giggled a little before feeling a hoof grasp her rainbow mane.

Twilight was already beginning to moan. She couldn't help it. After being spoiled from Alex, her pleasure levels were easily able to spike at even the slightest hint of sex. Meanwhile, Rainbow was enjoying every minute of it. Every time her actions caused pleasurable results, it boosted her self-confidence even higher (if that was possible). She continued to mess up Twilight's fur by licking up her juices while simultaneously stimulating the sensitive parts of her body. It was only when Twilight's grip on her mane got so tight that it nearly hurt that she decided to quit beating around the bush.

"Okay, okay, I get it..." Rainbow winced and started to lick up.

Twilight's sex was swollen and throbbing. The sight of it made Rainbow pause for a few moments to admire how attractive it was. She hadn't seen enough marehoods to become a connoisseur, but she knew that Twilight's pussy was a lot more beautiful than many.

Taking a deep breath, Rainbow leaned in and gave a long lick along the outside lips of Twilight's opening. It was warm and wet and it twitched a bit whenever she made contact with it.

"Ahhhn..." Twilight moaned.

Rainbow almost made another sly remark, but the taste of her friend drew her in more and urged her to have another taste. She licked closer this time and felt the smooth inner flesh of Twilight's cunt squeeze her tongue. It was so wet that her tongue accidentally slipped inside. Rainbow could feel Twilight's legs twitch slightly, which told her that she was doing something right.

Rainbow took a deep breath and decided to go all out. Even though she wasn't the one being teased, she wanted more and she wanted to have the favor returned soon. However, that wouldn't happen unless she did her job well. Her muzzle pressed against Twilight's clit and her tongue slipped inside of her marehood. She could feel the fur around her face being dampened by her friend's juices, which turned her on even more. Rainbow's tongue began to swirl inside of Twilight as she explored her.

"Mmmphhh... Oh, Dashie..."

It had been a while since she was called that and there weren't many ponies around that did. She could only guess that the familiar title was only being given because of how intimate the situation was. Rainbow took her hooves and helped Twilight spread her legs further until she was able to have more access. Her tongue curled up and down inside of Twilight and she closed her eyes as more and more fluids dripped down her face. Lewd slurping noises came from what she was doing and she couldn't help it. Something in Twilight's sex drove Rainbow to want to eat her out more and more.

Twilight's hips bucked up a slight bit and her marehood tightened around Rainbow's tongue even more. She was surprised at how close Twilight was to cumming.

"Aaaahhh! Mmphh!" Twilight screamed and then quickly covered her mouth with her hoof. Her hind legs began squeezing around Rainbow’s head.

Twilight's pussy throbbed and pulsed as she let her bodily desires take over. Her orgasm came quick and hard. Her hoof pulled Rainbow's mane into her crotch forcibly and she felt her tongue swirl quickly inside of her. Her entire body froze save for the occasional twitch of her legs as she came all over her friend's face.

Rainbow had to close an eye to keep some of the fluids coming from Twilight's marehood from getting in it. Her muzzle still pressed against her clit and she didn't stop licking her soft warm insides until she felt Twilight's body lose its tension and fall back on the couch. It caused her tongue to slip out of her and whatever juices were bottled up inside Rainbow's mouth spilled out onto the couch cushions.

Even though she wanted to have the favor returned, Rainbow knew that Twilight was too tired. After all, after seeing how much Twilight enjoyed it, she knew that this wasn't the last time they would be doing this. Next time, Twilight would most likely want to pay Rainbow Back.

Rainbow licked up Twilight's belly and crawled on top of her before tilting the unicorn's head towards her and embracing her in a gentle after-sex kiss. She played with Twilight's tongue a little so that she would get a full taste of her own marehood.

"Mmphh..." Twilight let out one last exhausted moan inside of Rainbow's mouth.

"So, how was that?" Rainbow asked after pulling back and watching a thin string of saliva and marehood fluids form between their lips.

"It was..." Twilight panted. "Amazing..."

"Heheh..." Rainbow laughed as her confidence rose. She knew she was good at what she did.

Twilight was finally able to catch her breath and her panting stopped for the moment.

"How did you learn to do stuff like that, Rainbow?" Twilight asked with closed eyes as she felt her friend's fast heartbeat thump against her chest.

"Same way I learn everything else. Practice." Rainbow gave Twilight a gentle kiss on her neck before lifting herself off the couch.

"R-Rainbow..." Twilight opened her eyes and looked over at Rainbow as if she was troubled."

"Yeah?" Rainbow bent her neck and cracked a few joints.

Twilight's eyes shifted around the room and the redness in her cheeks hadn't gone away yet.

"Could you stay with me? For just a little longer...?" She seemed embarrassed to ask.

Rainbow Dash looked down at her. She couldn't help but smile at how cute Twilight was sometimes. She sighed and climbed back onto the couch, snuggling close to her friend and tucking Twilight's head into the blue fur on her chest. Even though it was a little uncomfortable due to the wet stains on the couch, Rainbow could tell that her friend needed something more than just sex. She needed affection, and right now, Rainbow was the only pony who could give it to her. Slowly but surely, Twilight's body calmed down and her heart slowed to a steady beat as Rainbow stroked her mane.

"Thanks..." Twilight smiled wide and took a deep breath, smelling Rainbow's familiar scent.

"I'm guessing you wanna do this again sometime... Heheh."

Twilight nodded her head against Rainbow's chest and smiled.

"God, how long does this road go?"

"Bout a mile or so more. My dad's house is at the end of the road."

Vinyl paused and then looked back at you with a somewhat amused face.

"What, you worn out already? Sir Alex?" She teased and flipped her tail as she trotted along at a steady pace. You stuck your tongue out at her and she giggled back playfully.

You shook your head and smiled. Seeing her so happy was always a spirit lifter for you even if she was teasing you. The road the two of you were walking on wasn't that wide, but it was apparent even among the tall grass that surrounded it. You could tell that it wasn't used all too much which led you to wonder why it was in such relatively good condition. It was relative because it was a simple dirt road with the occasional damp puddle, but it was better than hiking through grass and weeds that came up to your chest.

It wasn't as chilly there as it was back in Ponyville and you were glad for it. However, the loss of the nip in the air caused your fur to start dampening a slight bit from sweating. It would be lovely weather if you weren't hiking five miles on a dirt road trying to keep up with your lover who was practically power walking the entire way. Even if it were colder, the cloudless sky made the sun beat down on you directly. It was bearable for a while, but now it was becoming bothersome. Still, the occasional breeze that came through from your right gave you what little mercy you needed from the long walk.

Vinyl was humming to herself and it was quite cute. She rarely did so. It only occurred when she was at her highest mood, and she most certainly was right now.

Another breeze came through the lonesome field and cooled you as it hit your semi-sweaty fur.

"Hey, babe?" You said as you picked up your speed to meet her shoulder to shoulder.

"Yeah?" She looked over at you with the widest smile on her face. There was nothing in the world that could get you down when Vinyl was so up. You smiled back, but it was more of a nervous smile.

"You really think your dad will like me? I'm kinda nervous..."

She turned her head back to the road. "Oh, you're fine. He's just as laid back as I am." Vinyl paused before continuing. "Just... Don't bring up any sensitive subjects yet. Okay?"

"Yeah, yeah..." You didn't want to make a bad impression on her father by talking about what happened yesterday, and you were sure that she didn't want to talk with him about it either until he was used to you.

"Hey!" A faint voice called out from above you. You could hear the quick flapping of pegasus wings. You looked up to try and see who it was, but the bright sun hurt your eyes. You squinted as the pegasus descended.

"Huh? Who's that?" Vinyl stopped and turned around before squinting just as you did.

"Dunno..." You answered back as the pegasus landed a good ways in front of you.

"Didn't think you'd be coming so early!" The pegasus said as she panted a bit. You could tell it was a girl from her voice. However, you didn't throw out the possibility that it was just a guy with a high pitched voice.

Her long blonde mane shone in the sunlight and blew a little with the breeze as she trotted up to meet you.

"Sorry, do I know you from somewhere?" Vinyl seemed confused as to why the pegasus seemed to know that the two of you were coming.

She finally caught up to the two of you and folded her wings behind her back. You could tell that she was a mailmare because of the large satchel that hung from her back like a saddle.

"Oh, I'm sorry, where are my manners... Name's Cloud Kicker." She smiled cheerfully as she greeted the two of you before looking at Vinyl closely. "Goodness, Vinyl, you look just like your dad. And you've got his good looks too."

"Nice to meet'cha..." Vinyl was obviously a little hesitant and suspicious. "Wait, how do you know who I am? And how do you know my dad?"

Cloud Kicker walked past you and Vinyl as she replied and the two of you followed her down the dirt road. You felt a bit left out since she didn't seem to address you all that much, but you tried to be selfless and let the two mares talk.

"I deliver mail to everypony in the Manehattan outskirts. There aren't many houses out here besides your dad's, so me and him got to be good friends. He talks about you a lot and last time we spoke, he said you were coming home."

She looked over at you finally and sized you up by looking down at your hooves and then back up. "And you must be Alex! It's such an honor to finally meet you! Saved the princesses and everything, right? Bet the girls are all over you..." She winked and then turned to Vinyl.

"Better marry that one before he runs away; he looks like a good catch..." Cloud Kicker whispered, but not out of earshot of you. Vinyl blushed a little and smiled as she looked down at the road.

"It's not like I have mares hitting on me every day. Besides, I've got the only mare I could ever ask for right here." You bumped against Vinyl's shoulder gently. You weren't usually so sentimental, but after last night's little bonding experience, you weren't ashamed of hiding how much you loved her from anypony.

"Aww..." Cloud Kicker rubbed Vinyl's mane before giggling a little. "You two make such a cute couple..."

"T-Thanks..." Vinyl was still looking down at the dirt road and blushing.

The mailmare looked up as if she was trying to spot something in the distance.

"Hey!!!" She yelled loudly. You had to lower your ears from the sudden shout.

Your eyes lifted and tried to spot whatever it was that Cloud Kicker was looking at. In the distance, about fifty yards down the road, you could see the outline of another pony. You almost thought your eyes were playing tricks on you since it, at least from a distance, looked exactly like Vinyl. He was bent down and searching through a mail box before he heard Cloud Kicker's yell, which caused him to pick his head up with his ears perked.

"Look who I found!!!"

"Is that yo-"

Vinyl took off running. No, it was a sprint. Dust flew up behind her hooves as she raced towards the pony and her blue mane flew wildly behind her along with her tail.

"Father and daughter reuniting... So sweet..." Cloud Kicker looked off into the distance, but kept her pace the same as it was before.

"Daddy!!!" Vinyl yelled out in joy at her father.

Hearing her call out to her father with such a childish name seemed to break her otherwise mature and independent character. You couldn't help but tear up just a bit from the situation. By now, you weren't nearly so far away and you began to recognize the stallion as, basically, an older male version of Vinyl.

"There's my little angel!" He laughed and talked at the same time before Vinyl nearly tackled him in a big hug.

"Angel..." You paused your thoughts as you remembered something that Vinyl said about that name. You closed your eyes and smiled as you came to the realization. "So that's why..."

"Whoa!" He almost fell back from the impact. "You've gotten so big since last time! Ack!" He seemed to struggle as he rustled Vinyl's mane. She was hugging his neck too tight. "Sweetie, I can't breathe..." He tapped on her leg for mercy as if it were a wrestling match between the two of them.

The intimacy almost made you a little jealous.

"I missed you so much..." Vinyl dug her muzzle into his big furry chest.

"I missed you too, angel..."
