Twilight awoke with a groan, the sun’s rays piercing through her eyelids. Her entire body felt both sore and refreshed at the same time. It was a strange mixture, and one that Twilight would prefer to not feel again. She blearily blinked her eyes as she took in the room around her, her blurry vision slowly coming into focus. Her gaze was quickly dominated by Asmodeus sitting in her, at least compared to him, comically small desk chair. Applejack and Rainbow murmured in their sleep as Twilight pulled herself free from the ponypile that had formed on the bed.

The unicorn stretched languidly as she got to her hooves, a slow yawn stretching her lips as she did so.

“Why are you up so early?” Twilight asked the archdemon.

Asmodeus turned to face her with a guilty look on his face.

“I’m sorry Twilight,” he said without preamble, “I lost control last night.:

“No no, its not your fault. We pushed you to far last night, thats not your fault.”

The normally stoic demon took a shuddering breath as he leaned into the hug.

“I could feel you channeling demonic magic Twilight. Your strength was much more than I expected, and I reacted poorly. You were a hair’s breadth from your mind being broken, I…” the stallion’s voice cracked.

“Shhh shhh,” Twilight cooed, “but you didn’t. Me, Rainbow, and Applejack are all fine. We’re okay, and nopony is hurt.”

Asmodeus took a deep breath, inhaling the natural scent of the mare embracing him. Twilight always seemed to smell of lavender, even now it was there, buried under the odors of sex and sweat. It was a comforting smell, one that he would miss when he had to leave. Twilight didn’t know how long she simply held Asmodeus like that, but eventually he pulled away from her, his usual controlled expression on his face

“Thank you,” he said simply. “but lets wake up the others. It is my last morning here, we may as well spend it together.”

Twilight cocked her head at him, her expression a mix between shock and disappointment.

“You summoned me to take care of your heat Twilight, which was accomplished my first night here. I was able to remain here by stretching that to until the rest of the mare’s in Ponyville had the same luxury.”

“But what if we don’t want you to go?” Twilight asked.

Asmodeus’ expression turned serious and Twilight backed away slightly. The demon’s horns glowed and a familiar red book floated out in front of him. He grabbed ahold of Twilight’s hooves and held them tight.

“Understand this Twilight, you cannot comprehend how much it means to me that you would do this for me. But it is an exercise in futility. It is not in my existence to feel love, and it is not your burden to change that.” he pulled her hooves to his mouth and planted a small kiss on each of them, “I told both Celestia and Luna this before, and I’m telling you now. As much as we both want it, I cannot be what you want me to be. To try otherwise is a mistake, and would only hurt both of us in the future. I will always be a summons away if you need me.”

Twilight could feel tears forming in her eyes as she locked gaze with the archdemon.

“You were in harem’s for years, why can’t you stay here for that long?”

“Do not head down that path Twilight, it is best to end that line of thought now.”

The mare took a shaky breath.

“Its hard, I don’t want you to go.”

Asmodeus gave her a small smile,

“It will get better in time Twilight,” he kissed her hooves a final time, “now go take a bath, as much as I want to take one with you, I feel that it would not be the best thing to do right now. Afterwards we’ll wake the others and eat some breakfast, then I’ll have to take my leave.”

The two of them shared one last look before turning back to the bed, both of them rolling their eyes in sync. As much as they tried to deny it, both Applejack and Rainbow were probably the most affectionate ponies in Ponyville.

Rainbow’s head was tucked under Applejack’s, the pegasus’s smaller frame snugly fitting inside the orange hooves wrapped around it. Both of them had content smiles on their face as they shifted closer to each other once again.

“Yea, we’ll let them sleep a bit more.”

It was almost an hour later when Applejack and Rainbow came stumbling down the stairs, they immediately could sense the changed feeling in the room and immediately asked what was going on. After it was explained to them that it was Asmodeus’ last morning with them they immediately sat the hapless demon down in the kitchen and proceeded to cook the demon one of the largest breakfast he had in centuries. When he tried to make his own plate and feed himself the mares quickly shut him down. They waited on him hand and foot, trying to make this last morning with them memorable.

Despite the various antics the mares got up to, they were distinctly non-sexual. They all knew, that at least for now, that part of their time together was behind them. It was sometime before noon when the last dish was eaten, cleaned, and placed in the sink. It was a subdued group that followed Asmodeus to the main room in the library, the mare’s following the archdemon from the kitchen.

They followed him to the same spot they originally summoned him. Asmodeus closed his eyes and his horns lit up. With much less flare than his entrance, the portal that would take him home opened without fanfare. And a few seconds later, a glowing red tear in the fabric between realms stood serenely in the library.

Asmodeus turned to the mares and stepped closer to them.

“These past few days have been some of the most memorable of my life, and I trust that you three will say the same thing. But sadly, all good things come to an end, and I must return to Tartarus.”

The three mares looked up at him, their faces showing their disappointment clearly.

“But, let it not be said that I do not show my appreciation for a good time,” he continued with a smile.

He bent down and went to kiss Rainbow on the forehead, but the pegasus shifted and did her best to capture his lips with hers. Asmodeus paused and leaned back, giving Rainbow a hard stare.

“Sorry,” she muttered as her wings fluttered slightly.

Asmodeus leaned down once again, and pressed his lips to her forehead. The mare immediately let out a small moan as her entire body trembled. Applejack and Twilight watched with confused expressions on their faces as the tips of Rainbow’s wings changed from their standard cyan hue to a fiery orange, with flecks of red, blue, and yellow periodically moving through it in a mesmerizing pattern.

“This is my blessing,” Asmodeus said as he pulled away, “I’m sure you’re going to enjoy it.”

He repeated the act with the other two mares. A stripe appeared in Applejack’s mane and tail with the same pattern on Rainbow’s feather, and the spiral on Twilight’s horn changed color as well.

His final act complete he stepped back and gave the mares another gentle smile.

“If you ever need me, those will allow you to contact me. Merely speak to me as if I was in front of you, and I will hear it. There are additional benefits, but I know you’ll going to figure those out soon enough. Now, according to law, Neither Celestia nor Luna can summon a denizen of Tartarus, but you three still can. So I’m sure at some point either one or the other will come here so you can summon me.

All three of you are amazing mares, remember that. You are intelligent, brave, beautiful; any stallion would be eternally blessed to have any of you.”

He gave them one final nod and turned around,

“Farewell Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow, I’m sure I’ll be seeing all of you again soon.”

Asmodeus stepped through the portal, and with nary a sound it closed behind him, leaving the three mares alone in the library. They were silent for a little while before Applejack spoke up.

“I gotta say, this sure has been fun, but I’m sad to see it end.”

“Who says it has to be over?” Rainbow said with a grin that Asmodeus would be proud off.

(A few weeks later)

Rainbow trotted through Ponyville, her freshly styled mane bouncing slightly with each step. She had taken her new beauty regime to heart, figuring out the proper cocktail of products to keep her coat and mane at top condition while maintaining her athletic lifestyle. And to Rarity’s surprise, had expressed a desire to join her and Fluttershy at their weekly spa dates, the spa twins had been ecstatic. When they asked about the new feathers on Rainbow’s wings, she had told them that it was a gift from a good friend and they had been polite enough not to pry.

Stallions the town over had taken notice of Rainbow’s new look, their reactions ranging from blatant ogling to polite compliments. Rainbow herself was reveling in the new attention, finally understanding why Rarity took so much enjoyment in twisting stallions around her hooves. Rarity had proceeded to give Rainbow her crash course in ladyship 101, focusing on the more practical aspects of it at Rainbow’s request.

She was trotting by Sugarcube Corner when a familiar stallion caught her eye. A light blue stallion with a darker blue mane sat alone at a small table, waiting eagerly for whatever he ordered.

“Soarin?” Rainbow asked herself, “theres no way hes here, the season isn’t over yet.”

Pinkie chose this moment to bounce(literally) over to the stallion with a massive slice of apple pie on a plate in one hoof.

“He ya go!” she exclaimed happily before setting the plate down on the table, which the stallion immediately attacked with relish.

“Delicious!” Rainbow heard him exclaim, “compliments to the chef!”

"Thank you!" Pinkie replied before bouncing away.

Only one stallion she knew enjoyed apple pie to that degree.

Soarin, even with Rainbow’s biased opinion, was a very attractive stallion. At the lower end of middle age, he started to have that mature look that older playcolts dreamed of. His career in the wonderbolts kept his body in remarkably good condition, his well-kept coat showing off the hard muscle underneath it. One could easily tell he maintained his body at that state for years, it was impossible to mimic the level of grace, control and confidence otherwise. Rainbow felt her inner fangirl squeal, there was no wonder Soarin was known as the Wonderbolts’ poster boy. The old Rainbow would have lost all composure immediately, but not the new one. This was confident, controlled, sexy-as-fuck Rainbow, and no stallion would make her lose control.

She straightened her posture in the way Rarity showed her, tightening the correct muscles to show off her perfect body. She lifted her head, flicking her mane into the optimal position to catch the light. Her posturing completed, she took a deep breath and slinked over to the helpless stallion.

As Rarity would say, “A lady on a mission does not walk or strut Rainbow, she glides to her target.”

Rainbow listened, but gliding was for flying, not getting a stallion’s attention. So she sauntered over, rolling her hips in the way that drove stallions crazy.

Behind her, poor Rumble completely forgot what his brother was telling him.

She kept her gaze locked on Soarin, who was obliviously eating his pie. It didn’t take him long however to notice somepony was staring at him. He opened his eyes, previously closed in bliss after another bite of pie, and his jaw almost comically dropped open, his fork clattering to the plate below.

Rainbow locked her eyes on his, tossing her head slightly to settle her mane partially over one eye. She gave him seductive smile #3, head cocked slightly to the side. Peering through her bangs with no teeth showing. Rainbow broke out in an internal grin as she saw Soarin’s eyes widened noticeably as she got closer. When she finally reached the table she placed herself directly across from him, sitting down languidly in the closest chair, showing off her toned flanks as she did so.

“Hows the pie?” she asked, still not breaking eye contact.

It took a while, but eventually Soarin squeaked out, “Good.”

He scooped up another bite while pushing the plate slightly towards Rainbow,

“Would you like some?”

Rainbow internally rolled her eyes, Rarity was right, stallions were so easy.

“I would love some.”

“Nothing you do at first should be overtly sexual Rainbow,” Rarity had said, “it must be the sum of all the parts that turns an act into a seductive one. Otherwise, you might come on too strong and come off as a hussy. Slowly increase the desire factor, and they’ll soon be putty in your hooves.”

Rainbow had this in mind as she watched Soarin lift the fork to her mouth, his hoof shaking slightly. She maintained eye contact until just before the fork reached her, breaking it just as she opened her mouth. She had to admit, Pinkie did make a good pie. She leaned back as she chewed it, making eye contact once again as she swallowed.

“Delicious,” she practically purred as she brushed her bangs out of her face.

Soarin’s wings fluttered as a blush crept along his face.

“Have some more then,” he said in a small voice as he lifted another bite to Rainbow.

Rainbow allowed a very real grin to appear on her face, leaning forwards slightly to meet the fork in-between them. This time she re-engaged eye contact while fork was still in her mouth, her lips pursed innocently around it. Soarin’s wings extended slightly.

"Here, let me," Rainbow said as she took the fork from the stallion. With a small smile she scooped up a bite of the pie and brought it to the stallion. Soarin opened his mouth and chewed almost mechanically as Rainbow deposited it in his mouth.

"Now your turn," Rainbow said as she gave the fork back to him.

Bite by bite they fed the pie to each other, Soarin's wings extending noticeably as Rainbow's actions became more and more sultry.

“Thanks for the pie,” Rainbow said in a low, seductive voice as she finished the last bite, “but I feel bad that I stole your snack.”

“Oh ummm…” Soarin stuttered, “I’d much rather have you than pie anyway.”

Rainbow raised an eyebrow and Soarin realized his mistake.

“No no no no no! Not like that!”

Rainbow chuckled and put a hoof on the stallion’s lips,

“Don’t worry, I appreciate the compliment.”

Soarin said something under his breath that Rainbow couldn’t make out as he directed his embarrassed face to the table below.

Rainbow felt the tips of her wings heat up slightly, and before she could react words were coming out of her mouth.

“So,” Rainbow said after Soarin regained control of his wings, “I think I should make it up to you for stealing your pie.”

“Its not a problem,” he replied in a small voice.

“I was thinking that I could take you out to dinner or something in exchange."

Rainbow’s breath stopped, and her heart beat out of her chest as she waited the for the stallion’s response. Soarin lifted his head, with a genuinely shocked look on his face.

“A mare like you wants to go on a date with a stallion like me?”

Rainbow cocked her head, confusion evident on her face.

“What do you mean by that?”

Soarin sighed and gestured towards her,

“You are a young, talented, and beautiful mare Rainbow Dash,” the mare in question could feel her face redden at the earnest compliment, “Now look at me, I’m plain. Certainly nothing compared to you. I just didn’t see any reason why you would want to go out to dinner with me.”

It was Dash’s turn to look confused.

“Plain? You’re like the sexiest stallion in Equestria! Do you even know how good you look!?”

Then it hit her, he was exactly like her a couple weeks ago. He simply had no idea how good he actually looked. Dash looked him up and down, with a good manecut and styling he could easily turn from simply good looking to positively awe-inspiring. This must be how Rarity felt all the time when she hung out with her in the past, knowing that it wouldn’t even take that much effort to make a huge difference. She made a mental note to apologize to the fashionista next time she saw her.

Soarin blushed as Rainbow finished her tirade, looking down at the table once again.

“Listen, if you’re serious, we can go to dinner, but I still think you’re kinda crazy.”

Rainbow smiled and leaned forward, whispering in Soarin’s ear.

“Trust me, its a good kind of crazy,” she purred, “and if you keep complimenting me like that, you’re going to find out just how crazy I am.”

She felt the shudder race through the stallion as the clear innuendo in her words was processed.

“So, will you take me to dinner Soarin?”

He lifted his head,

“You sure its not you taking me?”

Dash rolled her eyes,

“Just ask already.”

Soarin chuckled, but nonetheless smiled back.

“Do you want to go to dinner with me sometime? We can make a night of it, go to a show or something.”

Dash was unable to stop the squeal from escaping this time, and in a burst of excitement she leapt away from Soarin as pure unadulterated joy exploded through her as one of her fillyhood dreams came true.

“Awww yea! Whos a sexy mare? I’m a sexy mare,” Dash sing-songed as she broke out in a celebratory hoofsie dance, oblivious to the other customers staring at her.

“Dash,” Soarin tried to interrupt.

“Strut strut, strutin’ in place. Strut strut, strutin’ in place.”

“Dash!”

“I got the powa!”

“Dash!”

“What?” Dash said levelling a glare at the stallion, “you’re interrupting my celebration here!”

“You never gave me an answer… exactly.”

Dash chuckled embarrassedly as a roaring blush invaded her features.

“Ya I would love to.”

Author's Notes:

Its finished! Huzzah! My first completed multi-chaptered story, and its over 100,000 words!

Once again I I apologize for short length, but as I said, I wanted to get it done and move on, in a good way of course.

Thanks all of you who stuck with me through the story, I know I took a lot longer to finish this than I originally planned, but I hope all the waiting was worth it. I would also like this opportunity to get as much feedback from you guy as possible, so if you wouldn't mind answering any or all of the following questions I would appreciate it.

What did I do right?
What could I work on?
How can I make Asmodeus a better character?
Favorite scene(clop or no clop)?
What you would like to see in the sequels?
How could I improve in the sequels?
If there was one scene, either with clop or without, you wanted to see in one of the sequels, what would it be?

I do apologize, but after thinking about it I decided I am not going to write a story about Asmodeus' journey through early Equestria with Celestia and Luna. However, I will be telling highlights of it as bonus chapters in the other stories I write, so its not a total loss.

I would also like to formally announce the next story in the Tsup universe. "The Benefits of Younger, Crazy Mares". In the show, I know Soarin doesn't seem that much older than the main six, but in this universe hes thirty-five, so at least ten-fifteen years older than Rainbow, depending on your headcanon.

If enough people answer the questions I'll post a link to the story page as well as the password to view it, I think a few of you will be happy at the character tags. This will be written at the same time as my Sparity fic, which will be taken off hiatus once I get started on the next chapter. It won't be alternating chapters being written between the two, but instead pretty much whatever I feel like writing next will be updated next.

Thats it for now,
