"Morning, Twilight," Ascentia said, sitting down at the table in Canterlot's banquet hall and silding up next to her.

"Good morning, Kitten," Twilight smiled and kissed her cheek, "Did you have a good sleep?"

Ascentia nodded. wrapping her arms around Twilight's shoulders and snuggling her close, giving a tiny but adorable peck on her cheek.

Twilight giggled and nuzzled her, "Glad to hear it."

"Mommy! I had a dream about ponies! I want one!" Sunrise said excitedly.

"Now child, ponies are expensive," Luna chided with a smile.

"Oh..." Sunrise pouted, crestfallen.

"It's true, sweetheart," Twilight said with a sad smile, "We also just don't have the place for it right now. Ponies also need a lot of care and maintenance, so it's a big responsibility."

"If we had the space and the money, I'd give you one," Ascentia said with a smile, "But right now, Auntie Rainbow pays for everything we need. Maybe you can talk her into letting you get a puppy, though."

"Puppy!" Spectrum grinned at this, "I want a puppy, too."

"We'll get a puppy and share it!" Sunrise agreed.

Spectrum grinned and kissed Sunrise's cheek, much to the delight of the women.

"Awwww!" Celestia cooed, "They're adorable!"

"Aren't they, though?" Twilight agreed as she giggled behind her hand, "They're so close. It's no wonder all of our friends have these betting pools with them!"

"Betting pools? On what?" Celestia asked.

"When they'd have their first kiss, who would confess first, when they'd get married...you name it," Twilight replied, "Basically, we're on the verge of making the wedding invitations."

Celestia giggled and laid a pouch on the counter, "Put me in for 50 bits for March of 2030."

"Ooh, I shall include fifty bits for June of 2030," Luna placed a pouch down as well.

"June bride, classic," Twilight giggled.

Cadance laid a pouch down along with it, "Put me down for May. Same year."

Sunrise looked at them all, confused, "What are you all doing, Mommy?"

"Nothing, sweetheart," Twilight patted her hand, "You hungry, Kitten?"

Ascentia nodded and kissed under Twilight's ear, mewling in agreement.

"What is she doing?" Luna asked, tilting her head in confusion at Ascentia's odd behavior.

"That's her way of communicating sometimes, she'll act like a cat," Twilight smiled.

"I think it's cute," Celestia giggled.

"I find it rather perplexing," Luna frowned, "She wasn't like this the last time you brought her here."

Twilight looked puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

"She was far more... exuberant. Not quite so meek and timid," Luna remarked, "She didn't cling to you nearly as much."

"Oh... well, I guess you can say things changed a lot," Twilight looked away a little.

Luna raised an eyebrow, "Twilight, things do not change quite that-"

"Luna, Twilight's uncomfortable talking about this," Cadance cut in, "Suffice to say... Ascentia has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and it's affected her quite a bit over the years."

"Ah," Luna said in realization, "That makes far more sense. Thank you, Cadance."

"No problem," Cadance smiled.

Ascentia smiled and nuzzled Twilight's cheek, snuggling closer to her, "You smell nice, Twiley," she purred.

"Thank you, Kitten," Twilight nuzzled her back, "So listen, do you feel ready enough to go back home later?"

"Are you coming with me?" she asked with a cute pout as she kissed Twilight's cheek.

"Of course I am," Twilight nodded, "I just have to pick up some paperwork and books to bring home, but otherwise I'll be good to go."

Ascentia smiled and mewled happily as she brought Twilight's arm around her, snuggling up to her and kissing her neck, "Then I'm okay to go home."

"All right then, Kitten," Twilight kissed her head, "You, me and the little munchkins will be homeward bound later on."

"I loved that book," Ascentia giggled.

"I loved the movie," Twilight smiled.

Luna tilted her head, "...You're right, Tia. She is adorable."

"Isn't she?" Celestia smiled, giggling behind her hand.

Luna nodded, "She grows on you... oh this is positively precious."

"Absolutely," Celestia sipped her tea, winking at her sister, "It's quite sweet."

"I can still hear you guys," Ascentia said as she nuzzled up against Twilight's neck.

"Not as if we meant otherwise," Celestia chuckled.

Ascentia stuck her tongue out at her and continued clinging to Twilight, "Twiley, Celly's picking on me," she giggled.

"Oh, play nice, you two," Twilight laughed, "Let's finish up then, shall we?"

"Okay," she mewled softly, kissing her cheek, "I wuv you, Twiley."

"I love you too, Kitten," Twilight kissed her forehead.

The door to Sugarcube Corner clinked, alerting Pinkie to new customers. Rushing out, she saw that it was instead Twilight.

"Twi-Twi!!!" Pinkie squealed, bounding over and throwing her arms around her, "Aww, it's soooo good to see you! It feels like forever since I last saw you!"

Twilight giggled and hugged the larger woman, "It's good to see you too, Pinkie. I've been wanting to stop by ever since I got home."

"Well, goodie!" Pinkie hugged her tighter, "I'm so glad you did! I miss spending one-on-one time with you, Twi-Twi!"

"Me too, Pinkie," Twilight giggled, squeezing her waist, "How's the boyfriend?"

"Awesometacular as always!" Pinkie winked at her, "If you know what I mean..."

"Oh I know what you mean," Twilight giggled, kissing Pinkie's cheek and letting go of her, "And where's the rest of the family?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Cake went out to run some errands, Pumpkin's visiting some friends, and Pound is doing some work in the basement!" Pinkie replied, poking her nose, "As for me, I was managing the kitchen!"

Twilight looked around at the empty dining area, "Slow day today?"

"Yepperoonie," Pinkie nodded, smiling brightly, "But that's okay! Around here we always make the best of things!"

Twilight smiled and sat down with Pinkie in one of the booths, sidling up next to her and leaning her head on her shoulder, "Nice to see someone is on the bright side of life... I'm guessing you heard about what happened at the hospital?"

Pinkie nodded, bringing her arms around her, "I sure have, Twi-Twi! But it's okay! You're safe now! Still, I'm sowwy..." She nuzzled her sweetly.

Twilight melted into Pinkie's hug, and eagerly returned it as her hands squeezed her hips, "I know... I've just been on edge the last few weeks."

"Hey, don't worry! These things take time to feel better about," Pinkie pouted, "Do what you can to relax and take the edge off, Twi-Twi. You know I can help you with that!"

"That's why I finally came over," Twilight smiled, nuzzling into Pinkie's shoulder, "I was hoping you could help me relax."

Pinkie grinned widely, "Really?! You mean I can finally make super sweet awesometacular lovey dovey love to you?"

Twilight jumped a bit, "I was talking about a massage or something," she pulled back and looked up at Pinkie, then down at her hips, and in the mirror behind her, getting a full view of Pinkie's rear, which was a strong contender against Ascentia for the best ass in the group, "...But I like your idea better."

"Yay!" Pinkie squealed happily, clapping excitedly, "I've always wanted to, Twi-Twi! I'm glad I can help make you feel better!"

"You want to bang absolutely everyone, Pinkie," Twilight giggled, nuzzling her cheek, "But I'm flattered all the same."

"Um, actually..." Pinkie giggled a little, "I've always had a crushie on you, Twi-Twi..."

"Wha?" Twilight looked surprised, "Since when?!"

"High school!" Pinkie laughed.

"Wow..." Twilight whispered, "Why didn't you ever say anything? You knew I was gay, I figured you of all people would jump at that chance."

"I wasn't quite ready to date," Pinkie admitted, "And I was still a little confused about being soooo open to being with everyone! Like it meant I couldn't date anyone at all! Then Asy came along and I saw how happy you two were together, so I didn't say anything!"

"Oh... wow... I guess I can understand that. It took me a while to admit I was gay... so why don't we make up for lost time?" Twilight smiled, kissing Pinkie's cheek and reaching down to squeeze her rear.

"Sounds like a plan to me, Twi-Twi!" Pinkie happily hugged her back, "Ooh, but Asy knows about you coming here, right? I don't wanna sneak around behind her back. That's pretty much my only rule for anyone I'm with!"

Twilight giggled softly, "Ascentia's been screwing Rainbow, Fluttershy and Cielle for the last few years. Still do even though we're back together. I think the sneaking ship has pretty much sailed."

"If you say so, Twi-Twi!" Pinkie smiled, "All things considered, you know what they say! Glass houses! Now, c'mere! Wait, no... upstairs! More comfy on my bed!"

"Wait!" Twilight said, tugging Pinkie back into the booth seat and smiling as she brought her lips to hers.

With a happy giggle, Pinkie kissed her back lovingly, holding Twilight closer than ever. Twilight melted into Pinkie's comfortable embrace as her hands slipped back down to her rear, giving it a firm squeeze as she nibbled her lip. Getting bold, Pinkie slipped her hands up Twilight's shirt, eagerly caressing her bare skin. Twilight giggled and squeezed her rear harder, pulling closer and wrapping her arms fully around her. Circling her tongue around her lips, she shifted so Pinkie could explore under her shirt with a giggle.

"Mmmm, Twi-Twi," Pinkie purred between kisses, "You're so soft! I like soft! You feel better than in my fantasies!"

Twilight pulled back to breathe, giggling, "You had fantasies? Really?"

Pinkie laughed, winking at her, "You're a super smart nerd, Twilight! I think you should do the math."

"I know, it's just... I didn't even start having fantasies about Ascentia until a little while before we had sex," Twilight stuck her tongue out.

"Well, then you'd be surprised! I had fantasies the very second I met you! And that doesn't happen all that often," Pinkie whispered, winking at her again, "And you can take that to the bank!"

Twilight licked along her ear, "What kind of fantasies?" she asked, slipping her hand down the back of Pinkie's jeans and squeezing her plump rear.

"Oooh, like you wouldn't believe!" Pinkie cooed, nuzzling her neck, "I imagined just taking you into the nearest empty classroom and getting all over you!"

Twilight's face flushed as she nuzzled close to her, reaching her other hand down to her rear, "Oh yeah? What else?"

"Kissing you right then and there, just loving all over you," Pinkie toyed with her bra hooks and licked her neck sensually.

Twilight sighed softly and brought her lips to Pinkie's collarbone, suckling it as she gently kneaded her rear, "Wow, someone was quite the smitten kitten."

"That's me! Although I thought Kitten was Asy?"

"Asy is THE Kitten, you were were A kitten," Twilight giggled, nuzzling Pinkie's neck.

"I can go with that!" Pinkie happily snuggled her closer, pulling her shirt up little by little.

Twilight snuggled as Pinkie tugged her shirt up, "Anything particularly saucy?"

"Oh? You want to hear saucy?" Pinkie licked her lips, taking her shirt off.

Twilight nodded, stretching as her shirt came off, revealing her dark purple bra to her friend.

"Goodie! Well, first of all... I imagined picking you up, just like this!" Pinkie brought her arms tightly around Twilight and picked her up off the seat as she stood.

Twilight yelped in surprise as Pinkie lifted her, "Yeep! Pinkie, warn a girl before you do that," she laughed, slapping her shoulder, "Then what?"

"Sorry," Pinkie smiled, kissing her cheek, "I will! Anyway, so then, I take you up the stairs, like so..." She went to the nearby stairs and started to ascend.

Twilight nuzzled into her neck as Pinkie held her easily. Quietly wondering to herself just how much weight she'd lost while she was in the hospital, she kissed her neck and squeezed her shoulders, "Sounds lovely. And then what?"

"I take you to my room..." Pinkie entered her bedroom and closed the door with her foot, "I-ooh, Twi-Twi, how much weight have you lost? You're so light! Back in the day, I could barely pick you up off the floor! Now you're light as a feather!"

"I didn't eat very well at the hospital," Twilight said sheepishly as she kissed Pinkie's cheek, "Ascentia did say she could feel my bones, but I'm not sure how bad it's gotten."

Pinkie gently set her down, standing her in front of the nearby full length mirror, "Take your clothes off, Twi-Twi! Let me get a good lookie at you, and we'll assess the damage!"

Twilight shifted in front of the mirror, having imagined disrobing in front of Pinkie to be far less casual. Then again, this was Pinkie. A girl Twilight had seen grinding on her husband in public with zero shame. Undoing her pants, she slid them off her legs and stood there, clad in only her bra and underwear.

"Ooohhh.... that's not good!" Pinkie pouted, "You don't look healthy, Twi-Twi! I can almost see your ribcage!"

Twilight prodded her own chest with her fingers and winced, "I guess I could stand to eat a little more..." she said nervously, "I was in there for six years..."

"Not good!" Pinkie shook her head, then left the room. She came back a few minutes later with a tray of cupcakes, "Now eat! And make sure to pack on some more food at home!"

It only then, as the tray of alluring sweets wasshoved under her nose, did Twilight realize how hungry she actually was. Not only had the hospital practically starved her for years, she'd barely eaten since coming home. In fact, now she could recall several instances of Ascentia trying to get her to eat.

Taking a cupcake in her hand, she scarfed it down and reached for another, moaning softly, "Oh my god, Pinkie! These are so good!"

"Aren't they, though?" Pinkie grinned, "Now, Twi-Twi... I'm going to help you, and also, perform an awesome kink of mine! I don't do this with just anyone, either... Only you, our friendies, and my hubby can do this to me!"

"Oh... what's... what's that?" Twilight asked nervously as she looked over Pinkie's body, still fully dressed and bit her lip.

"I want you to eat food off my body!" Pinkie giggled, proceeding to strip slowly, "Go downstairs, get all the sweets and fruits you want, come back, lay 'em on me, and eat up!"

Twilight paused for a minute, then smiled, "Okay," she winked, kissing Pinkie below the chin, "I'll be right back."

She sauntered out of the bedroom and closed the door behind her, her smile faltering and a puzzled expression crawling across her face as she made her way down to the kitchen.

"Eat food off of her?" she muttered, "How is that sexy? Does it feel good to be made into a plate, or is Pinkie just being weird again..."

She paused for a minute to consider her own question.

"Stupid question, of course she is," she smacked herself in the forehead as she gathered a plate of fruits and sweets, "Oh well, I've done weirder things."

"Like what?" Came Carrot Cake's voice from the doorway, making Twilight jump and drop the plate.

"Um, nothing!" Twilight hastily picked up the dropped items, "Just thinking out loud, Mr. Cake!"

Carrot Cake leaned against the doorframe and watched as Twilight gathered the food from the floor and set it back on the plate, "Indeed... is there any point in asking why you're digging through my fridge? And naked?"

Twilight raised and eyebrow and looked down to see that Pinkie had removed her bra and panties while she was examining her.

"I'm... getting intimate with Pinkie," Twilight murmured, figuring it better to just admit the truth.

"I gathered that much," Carrot smirked, "Any reason you're down here without anything on?"

"I wasn't paying attention to what I was wearing and had presumed no one was home," Twilight admitted.

Carrot nodded, "You have rather steady nerves," he chuckled, "Pumpkin and one of Pinkie's girlfriends were caught doing the same thing and they both screamed and hid."

Twilight smiled a little, "Understandable. I guess you can say... more and more I've wanted to be more of an adult and take responsibility for my actions."

"I meant this," Carrot indicated Twilight's composure despite being naked, "You don't seem all that nervous about being naked around other people."

"...Wow, you're right," Twilight realized, blinking a few times, "I thought I was at least in my underwear, but even when I knew, I... wow. That's never happened before!"

Carrot chuckled, "Alright, I'm sure Pinkie's waiting for you. Lord knows she never stops talking about you," he stepped aside so Twilight could go back upstairs, "Have fun."

"Thank you, Mr. Cake," Twilight gave him a friendly nod before heading back upstairs. She returned to Pinkie's room, finding her friend laying out and stretching on her bed, completely naked, "Hey there, Pinkie. I'm sorry I'm late, Mr. Cake caught me."

Pinkie sat up and grinned, "Ooooh, did you experiment a little, Twi Twi?"

"Experiment?" Twilight looked at her curiously, "What do you mean?"

Pinkie giggled and made a fist pumping motion near her mouth.

"O-Oh! No... I didn't even think of that," Twilight blushed a bit, "No, he was just asking me what was going on."

"Really? Even with you all nakie down there?" she giggled as she laid back on her bed, beckoning her over.

Twilight came over, placing the plate onto the bedside table and taking a fruit slice, "Yeah... So, how do I do this? Do I just put the stuff anywhere?"

Pinkie giggled, "Mmhmm, absolutely... anywhere," she said, putting a sultry whisper on her last word.

"Okay..." Twilight said in mild confusion as she took a few berries and laid them over Pinkie's stomach... to which they promptly rolled off. Picking the strawberry back up, she set it in Pinkie's navel and placed the other in between her breasts. "Okay, that was a bit tricky!"

"It's okay, Twi-Twi! You're doing good!" Pinkie gave her a thumbs up.

Twilight set another just below her breastbone and thought for a minute, "Suck in your stomach a bit," she said, grabbing a few more.

Nodding, Pinkie did so, "Okay!"

With her stomach a little flatter, Twilight was able to balance more berries over her body, "There we are! It's a good thing you're malleable," she giggled.

"Ooohh, whatever you say, Twi-Twi," Pinkie winked at her.

Twilight set two more between her breasts. Then, in a streak of boldness, slipped a strawberry down into her sex, and pushing it in so as not to come loose as she lowered her eyelids and smiled at her.

Pinkie licked her lips, "Putting something that doesn't belong in my coochie? Twi-Twi, you're so bold!"

"It won't be there for long," Twilight smirked, licking along Pinkie's stomach.

"Mmm-mmm.... good stuffies, Twi-Twi..." Pinkie winked, reaching down to tousle her hair.

Twilight, now feeling emboldened by Pinkie's little game, and her streak of exhibitionism downstairs, reached up and scooped the berry out of her navel, softly chewing it as she trailed her tongue up to Pinkie's breasts.

Pinkie mewled in pleasure, but made sure to be careful not to move so much, "Your tonguie feels so good, Twilight!"

Twilight looked up and raised an eyebrow, "Twilight? Not Twi Twi?"

"Oh, oopsie!" Pinkie giggled, playing with her hair, "Shall I keep it to Twi-Twi?"

Twilight  giggled and scooped another berry into her mouth, before kissing Pinkie  and slipping it into her's, "I love it. It's cute. Like when I call my Asy baby 'Kitten'. Or when Applejack calls me Sugarcube. Or when Sunrise calls Spectrum 'Speccy'."

"Good point!" Pinkie grinned widely, "You got it, Twi-Twi!"

Twilight slipped back down and slightered her tongue around Pinkie's stomach, scooping up more and more berries as he hand reached down to toy with her sex. In response, Pinkie moaned happily and spread her legs a little bit, but not enough to jostle the bits of food on her front. Scooping up more berries, Twilight rolled Pinkie's nub between her fingers as her teeth bit down onto Pinkie's thigh.

"Ooohhh yes, Twi-Twi!" Pinkie moaned, squirming slightly, "That feels sooooo amazing! I've wanted you to do this for years!"

"You should have said something," Twilight  whispered, curling her fingers and hooking them into Pinkie's sex, "We could have done this a long time ago..."

"Ooh I know! I'm sowwy, Twi-Twi! I should have!" Pinkie cried, "But I won't hold back now! We'll make up for it!"

"Good..." Twilight slid down and wrapped her lips around Pinkie's sex, suckling her labia as she drew the berry out and into her mouth.

"Mmmm-yeeeessss!!" Pinkie squealed loudly, grabbing hold of Twilight's head, "More, Twi-Twi! Oh, yes! Gimme more!"

Chewing the berry, Twilight slipped her tongue over Pinkie's labia, curling it around her nub as she groped and prodded her thighs. Swirling her tongue around, she nibbled her lips as she licked up her juices, peering up at her and giggling.

Pinkie looked down at her and grinned widely amidst her moans, "Sooooo good, Twi-Twi! Don't stop! Yes! I luffles it! And I luffles you!"

"I love you too, Pinkie," Twilight smiled, drawing her nub into her lips and suckling it as she inserted a finger to gently scratch at her sex.

"Woohooooooo!!" Pinkie moaned louder, arching her hips slightly, "You're the bestiest, Twi-Twi!"

"I married a woman, I'd better be," Twilight giggled as she suckled her nub, adding another finger as her other hand reached up to rub Pinkie's abdomen.

"Oooh yes! Yes!" Pinkie grabbed hold of her head again, squeezing her hair.

Twilight added a third finger as her tongue curled lovingly around her nub, "You taste good, Pinkie... like vanilla."

"Awww, thankies!" Pinkie squealed happily, "I'm glad you likey, Twi-Twi!"

Twilight suckled her nub as she drew out as much of her juices as she could, "I'm definitely coming back..."

"Really?!" Pinkie looked at her with a wider smile, which was somehow possible, "That would be sooooo awesome, Twi-Twi! I'd love that!"

"You know," Twilight said between suckles, "If Ascentia can try experimenting... maybe I can too..."

"Woohoo! Sounds goodie to me!" Pinkie moaned, squirming, "Yes! Yes! I'm close, Twi-Twi!"

Twilight suckled harder, thrusting her fingers faster as she smiled up at her, "C'mon Pinkie... I know you've wanted this... come for me..."

As Pinkie's moans grew louder, she squirmed hard and then came on the spot. Despite her usual loudness, her climax rendered her letting out happy squeaks of pleasure. All as she fell limp on her mattress and sighed happily. Twilight eagerly lapped up her juices, giving her sex a few more licks, before pulling up and leaning over her.

"Looks like I was the one helping you relax," Twilight giggled, snuggling on top of her.

"Hee hee! Well, then I guess it'll be my turn to make YOU relax!" Pinkie happily snuggled her back, "But thank you, Twi-Twi! I can't tell you how happy this makes me!"

Twilight nuzzled her cheek, "You're welcome, Pinks... maybe next time your husband can join us."

"Consider it done," Pinkie nuzzled her cheek back.
