“So I hear from security you were involved in a disturbance?” Dr Wolf asked.

“You’re not gonna believe me,” Rainbow muttered, facing away.

“Try me,” Dr Wolf said curtly.

Sighing heavily, Rainbow curled up a little, “My friend came to visit, and I thought she was Ci-..someone else. I came on to her, and she freaked out, pulling her gun on me… and I realized I made a mistake.”

“Yes, Mrs Sparkle,” Dr Wolf remarked, “Quite a history herself, if I may say so. Clearly the conflict was resolved, but how did you feel afterward?”

“Awful,” Rainbow murmured, looking away again, “I almost raped one of my friends, a rape victim on top of that! How do you think I felt?!”

Dr Wolf’s calm demeanour held and he made another note, “Alright, I think I’m going to up your dosage, and change your medication to Lythandrol. It’s an inhibitory drug that is intended to be taken regularly, not situationally like your current prescription.”

Nodding, Rainbow sniffled and wiped across her nose, “Okay, doc.”

Dr Wolf motioned for the security guard to come to the door, "Now, considering this new development, I am considering putting this woman on your No Contact list. Do you think you can handle yourself should the two of you meet up again, or should I keep her from seeing you?"

Managing to sit up, Rainbow pondered for a few moments. She almost did want to take the offer and use it as some kind of safety hold knowing Ascentia would be safe. Even so, the more she thought about it, the more harsh it seemed. Was it really the best option? Nothing too bad came of what had happened, even if it didn't change her mistake.

"...Nah, I think I'll be okay," Rainbow said, "If she comes back again, I'll actually know it's really her and I'll be more careful."

"Really her?" Dr Wolf asked, pulling his glasses down again.

"Uh, you know, I won't mistake her for someone else!" Rainbow said, backpedaling a little, "Then I won't go nuts."

Dr Wolf looked at her curiously, but shrugged it off, making an note to keep an eye out for future slipups like this, "Alright, you're free to go."

Standing up, Rainbow did a stretch, "Okay, doc! See you next week!"

Four weeks had passed since the incident with Ascentia and she hadn't had another visitor since. The simple fact that Twilight wasn't tearing down her door with her teeth showed that Ascentia had either kept quiet about what had happened, or had somehow managed to reign Twilight in. Sighing, she wondered if she ought to come clean to Twilight herself. Fluttershy would understand her mix-up, if only being a little creeped out by the fact that Cielle took the form of one of their best friends.

'Eh... best friend is a bit of a stretch with her,' Rainbow thought as she bounced a rubber ball against the door, 'Try... just friend.'

She continued to bounce the ball against the door as she absently clicked her tongue.

'...Hot though. Can't stand her for extended periods of time, but I wouldn't mind a chance to hit that,' she admitted.

"Rainbow?" came Dr Wolf's voice over the intercom, "Mrs Sparkle is here again. Shall I let her in?"

For a moment, Rainbow nearly assumed it was Twilight. But then she would've been referred to by her full name and title. That could only mean it was Ascentia. She sat up, catching the ball in her hand and placing it aside before going to answer the intercom.

"Yeah, sure. You can send her in."

After a few minutes, Ascentia came through her door, instantly putting her hands up, "Real me."

"Don't worry, I know you are," Rainbow assured, "Or are you? Quick! What's the secret password?"

"I sense there's something in the wind," Ascentia said in an unamused deadpan, "Satisfied?"

"Good enough," Rainbow gestured to the nearby chair for her to sit in, "Go on, you can sit down if you want."

Ascentia sat down, twisting her fingers around for a minute, "So... I told Twilight and Fluttershy about what happened last time I was here."

Stricken, Rainbow's eyes shot up to the size of saucers, "You did? ...And yet they kept quiet about it in their letters over the past, what, few weeks? Why was that?"

"Well, I explained what you told me, and Fluttershy just started nodding and seemed pretty relaxed about it. Twilight was furious, but... you know Twilight. Guilty conscience. She calmed down after a bit, they don't really hold anything against you. In fact... that's kinda why I came here."

"Okay?" Rainbow scratched her head inquisitively, "So, what's up?"

"Well, I talked about it to them first, because... well duh," Ascentia said, taking a nervous breath, "And... well... do you wanna... still do that?"

"...Say what?" Rainbow had no idea how to respond to that, all things considered, "Y-You're kidding, right? After what happened? You'd actually want this?"

"Yeah," Ascentia shrugged sheepishly, "I don't hate sex, Rainbow. Not too fond of being molested, but I don't hate sex. Quite the contrary, actually. And... I had some time to think about it, and knowing you had those... fantasies about me. Yeah."

Turning a little pink, it didn't help that she now realized that a boner had sprung up at the thought. Rainbow looked at the other woman, seeing no signs of irony or deceit. If nothing else, it could even clear the air a lot more between them.

"Well, okay. I guess we can if you really want to," she said, getting up.

"Okay, great," Ascentia smiled, standing up as well, looking around the room and growing suddenly more nervous, "I know we've done it before but... Twilight was there as well. I'm just... a little nervous without her."

Rainbow raised an eyebrow.

"Okay very nervous," she corrected, sticking her tongue out at her.

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle," Rainbow chuckled a bit as she waved it off, "Soo.... how do you want to do this?"

"Well, I kinda like it rough, but gentle at the same time," Ascentia said, wringing her hands with a chuckle, "You know, not really being rough just kinda being... controlled? Is that the word?"

"I guess it's as good as any," Rainbow shrugged, "It works, Flutters and I tend to do a more rough and tumble sort of thing, but still under control. Maybe skirting the line a bit, but nothing overly extreme. So, all right then, let's do that. ..Uh, where do you want it?"

"Wherever you want it," Ascentia said, blushing a soft pink.

Rainbow looked around, then pointed toward the bed, "Bed, I guess. Common, more comfortable."

Ascentia nodded and sat down on Rainbow's bed, looking up at her as she undid her top shirt buttons, taking a deep, nervous breath.

'This is definitely weird... I think it, and it happens? ...Nah, who cares. Time for some fun!'

"So, uh, whenever you're ready!" Rainbow said, slowly approaching the bed, wondering what to do next, "No need to rush or anything. Heh heh, I know, sounds weird coming from the Dash and all, but hey, I can slow down if I want."

"No, I want you to go at your normal speed, remember?" Ascentia said, calming down a little. She lowered her head as her uncharacteristic nervousness overtook her, her hair falling over half her face, "Ya know... whatever you wanna do with me is fine..."

"I know, but still, you can have at least some say in the matter," Rainbow shrugged, sitting down as well.

"I just did," she said, blushing as her lips pursed in a comical fashion.

"Careful Asy, if you keep pulling Fluttershys on me, I'm gonna want you even more," Rainbow teased, winking, "Well you just keep on stripping, and we'll see what happens."

More comfortable now that Rainbow was giving her directions, Ascentia smiled and shook her overshirt off, working the buttons on her t-shirt and giving Rainbow a cute, albeit cocky, smile.

"Oh, guess I'd better strip too," Rainbow chuckled, pulling off her sweater-it was cold outside-and tossing it aside, before taking off her shirt.

Ascentia paused, taking a look at her. Rainbow had the kind of body she always admired, the athlete's body. Slim and toned, she could make out the hint of muscle in her arms and stomach. Not nearly as built-like-a-brick-shithouse as Applejack, but not the tits-hips-and-ass look that Rarity and Fluttershy touted either. She bit her lip as she pulled her shirt off, admiring her body.

Catching Ascentia's look, Rainbow chuckled and stood up, "You like what you see? Awesome as you remember it?" She winked over her shoulder, purposely bending over to pull down her pants.

Ascentia nodded, stopping to admire her equally toned rear, "Yeah, I... got a thing for athletes."

"Oh, really?" Rainbow smirked, reaching behind herself and slapping her rear, "Then you're in for a real treat. I'm as awesome as they come!"

Feeling herself growing damp, Ascentia removed the rest of what covered her upper body, save for her bra, momentarily cursing why she always wore so many layers. Undoing her belt, she worked on unfastening her jeans, "What about me?" she asked.

"You, well..." Rainbow turned around, taking in the slow exposure of her body.

It wasn't just Ascentia's height that was eye-grabbing, it was definitely her visible muscle tone. A fighter's body, as her friends tended to put it. Nothing bulky akin to Applejack's build, but definitely a lot of muscle tone to be seen. Even her curves seemed to combine the best of what Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy seemed to have. A certain, though average roundness to them, though blending in fairly well with the rest of her build.

Rainbow grinned, "I definitely like what you've got going. You're like an amazon, but still a bit soft. I like that."

Ascentia smiled and blushed deeper, pulling her jeans off and sitting there in her green bra and panties, "Thanks."

"You're a hottie," Rainbow winked, approaching her, "Uh-oh, looks like you still got your panties and bra! That's not good at all, I'm gonna have to confiscate 'em."

Ascentia blushed harder at her compliment and undid her bra, letting her breasts free as she handed it to her.

"Not bad," Rainbow chuckled, giving the cups a sniff, then tossing it over her shoulder, "Okay Asy, lie yourself down. I'm gonna work you over."

"Rainbow, we've been growing increasingly concerned with the solitary conversations you've been having in your room," Dr Wolf sighed as two orderlies and a security guard stood behind him as he entered Rainbow's room, "This habit of talking to yourself has been happening with alarming frequency."

"Why's it such a bad thing?" Rainbow wanted to know, "It keeps me busy and sane."

"It is one thing to have conversations with oneself," Dr Wolf explained, "It is another thing entirely to create entire personalities."

'They still can't see her...' Rainbow realized, sighing, "Look, doc, I'm fine! It's freaking hard to explain, but I'm not crazy. And I know what I just said makes it sound like the exact opposite, but seriously."

Dr Wolf sighed, "Alright. I'll believe you for now. Besides, you have another visitor. Princess Twilight."

"Look doc, I'll explain later, okay?" Rainbow promised, standing up, "You can send her in."

Dr Wolf turned away and allowed Twilight to enter Rainbow's room.

"Hey Twi," she said, sitting down in the chair.

"Rainbow," Twilight said, sitting down on the other chair, "I've heard a lot about what you've... done lately. Ascentia even said there was this other woman in here with you, same with Fluttershy, and that she looks like you. How did that happen?"

"Yeah. Cielle. She came with me when I was on my leave," Rainbow explained, "Scoots and Pinkie met her too. I... don't really know how it happened. She was this... voice thing in my head. The one that thinks all the really dirty thoughts. And now... she's here."

Twilight blinked a few times, awestruck, "How... is it possible?"

"I don't know," Rainbow shrugged, "Do I look like a psychiatrist to you? Hell, the actual shrink can't even see her like the others can."

"...Well, logically... she shouldn't even be real," Twilight murmured, still taking this in, "But, if she's real to you, I... Where is she, right now?"

"Behind you," she said.

"Boo!" Cielle yelled.

Twilight turned, seeing nothing, "Rainbow, there's nobody there."

Cielle put her hands up and came around to stand next to Rainbow, "I give up. These skeptics are just hopeless. Wait a minute... a doctor... a scholar... neither of them can see me... I AM YOUR GOD NOW! BRING ME YOUR VIRGINS!"

"Oh hush, you," Rainbow giggled, "She's there, you just can't see her."

Raising an eyebrow, Twilight snorted, "Oh, really? Okay, then prove it. Have her hold something."

Rainbow smirked. The most evil smirk that has ever crossed the face of anyone in the history of everything, "Cielle. Be a dear and... I dunno..." she looked around, then directly at Twilight, "Grab hold of something."

Cielle giggled and came around to stand behind Twilight, grabbing both her breasts, "This outta convince her."

"AIE!" Twilight yelped, jumping from her chair, "How did you do that?! I'm serious, having her hold like, I don't know, that mug over there!"

Rainbow shrugged with a big, smug grin, "What can I say, Twi. I live for spectacle."

"Me too!" Cielle laughed, skipping over to the desk, "Okay, fine, Nerdy Sparkle. Look at me! I'm holding something! Whoooooo! I'm a ghost!" She picked up the mug, waving it around in her hand.

To Twilight, it looked like the mug was floating around on its own, much to her astonishment, "...I can't believe it... what's happening he-" she felt a pair of hands grab her breasts again, "HEY! Pervert!"

"They didn't call me Pervy for nothing," Cielle said, sticking her tongue out at her.

"She's a bigger perv than I am," Rainbow chuckled, "C'mon Twi, you can dish it out but ya can't take it?"

Cielle dropped the cup and turned to Rainbow, "Whoa!"

"What?" Rainbow asked, "I was just being funny."

"That wasn't funny, that was just dark!" Cielle said in astonishment.

"I must be going crazy, because now I'm hearing voices," Twilight uttered, holding her head, "Jeez! It sounds like there's two of you..."

"There are," Rainbow giggled, "Cielle looks and sounds like me. Only with a vag and bigger tits."

"The bigger tits were your doing."

"You love them!"

"Yeah..."

"Wait a minute, hold the phone," Rainbow said, shaking her head, "Twi, you were with us when we schooled Shy's parents. She was there too. You didn't notice Shy talk about us being a threesome?"

Eyes going wide, Twilight's cheeks flushed a bit, "Oh, wow... I guess I was so intent on what was going on, I didn't even notice. Especially when those people had the gall to insult my Kitten."

"Speaking of your Kitten," Rainbow remarked, "How'd you give her those dirty great slashes on her arm?"

"What slash-oh!" Twilight realized what she meant, and gave her a look, "Okay, I admit, I was a little... restless and angry at first. But some of them were actually from sex."

"Tell me," Rainbow said sternly, "They were pretty fresh and she said you haven't had sex in months."

"Okay, okay, fine! You got me. I was angry and stressed, and I took it out by scratching her arms like that. Believe me, I'm not exactly sure why I did it like that," Twilight conceded, holding her hands up, "Whatever it was, I just... I just did that."

"Just did it?" Rainbow frowned, folding her arms, "Twilight, you just had your baby. You're supposed to have stopped all this for her."

"Well, shit. Looks like you screwed up big time, Twilight Sparkle!" Cielle said, tossing the rubber ball from one hand to the other.

"I know, and I just-" Twilight looked up, realizing what was going on, and sighed, "Never mind. The doctors were saying that it might have been post-partum depression, but I don't think it's that at all."

"Then what is it?" Rainbow asked, leaning forward.

"A relapse! It was a relapse!" Twilight snapped, clutching her knees, "I had a relapse, I couldn't stop myself, and the only reason I did was because Sunrise was crying. After that, I didn't go near Ascentia at all! I couldn't trust myself."

"Twilight, look at me," Rainbow said forcefully.

Twilight lifted her head up to meet Rainbow's glare.

"Don't ever do it again," she said, her voice cold.

The room was deadly silent, with no sounds at all. Even Cielle looked as if she'd seen a ghost.

"...O-kay, that was creepy as fuck," she said.

"...I won't," Twilight managed to say, faltering a little as a shiver ran up her spine.

Rainbow's face softened and she moved forward, bringing Twilight into a hug, "The two of you are gonna be okay."

Letting out a shaky breath, Twilight returned it, "I hope we will be. I'm going to have to try harder."

"Yes, you are," Rainbow said, "That woman is way too cute to lose."

"...O-kay, not the only reason, but whatever you say," Twilight said with half a smile.

"Hey! It's the truth!" Cielle agreed with a pout, "Now you go home and fuck her all night long!"

"But we have a baby at home."

"Oh! Right... Well, uh, fuck between your rounds of checking on said baby!"

Twilight couldn't help but snicker at the mental picture, "Sure thing, 'Hold on, honey, I know you're climaxing, but I hear Sunny crying! I have to change her diaper'."

"Ewww, you better wash your hands after that!" Cielle grimaced a little.

"Well of course, I always do," Twilight said haughtily.

"Just fuck when the kid's asleep," Rainbow laughed, "Hell, she's got hair trigger orgasms, you could probably sneak 'em in between feedings."

"Very funny," Twilight stuck her tongue out at her, "I don't even need to ask that you enjoyed her."

"Oh yeah!" Rainbow grinned, "Girl's a real fireball in the sheets. And she's so freaking adorable! She snuggled up with me afterward and fell asleep. It was like a low calorie version of Shy!"

"Her mouth work ain't half bad, either," Cielle winked.

"I told you, she's definitely something in the-where did you come from?!" Twilight gaped as she now clearly saw Cielle.

"Oh, you can see me? Yay!" Cielle giggled, hugging her, "I'm Cielle! Nice to meet you, Twilight Sparkle! I know you're kinda, well, a big fat liar and abusive, but you're still pretty and cute! I like you, let's be friends."

"....O-kay..." Twilight gingerly pulled away, "So, you're Cielle..."

"Yeah, that's her," Rainbow giggled, "Hot, ain't she?"

"She looks like you, except with... different cosmetics," Twilight admitted, looking her up and down.

"I know, right?" Cielle wiggled her hips and winked, "Hottest piece of ass outside of Rainbow's head! Whoo!"

"...That made no sense."

"Yeah, I'm not proud of that one."

"Nobody's proud of that one," Rainbow rolled her eyes, "But she is ONE of the hottest pieces of asses. Next to Shy... and Rarity... and Asy... and Pinkie... and you."

"Boo-yeah!" Cielle slapped her own rear, bending over and winking.

Twilight gave a little laugh, "So I see. I have to say, this is absolutely astonishing. You were... part of Rainbow's mind, and now you're real?"

"Getting there!" Cielle said, pinching herself, "...Ow?"

"Some people can't see her. Mostly hospital staff," Rainbow shrugged, "But I've gone up that ass enough times to know it IS real."

"Riiiight," Twilight said dryly. She reached out, gently touching Cielle's arms, then shoulders, "Well, you certainly feel real."

"Good! All that's left is to make sure the doc knows Dash isn't crazy!" Cielle said, "Besides, she needs me to stay sane! No way am I leaving her, now!"

"Alright, calm yourself," Rainbow giggled, "She's a little protective."

"Well, duh! Someone's gotta be until you go home," Cielle pouted.

"Right, sure," Twilight said, "Well, I hope you can prove your existence. Doctor Wolf's been saying that you may very well have multiple personality disorder."

"Well, as you can clearly see, I don't," Rainbow said dryly, "I have the bite marks to prove it."

"Courtesy of yours truly," Cielle winked, "As you can see, no way she could have bitten herself in some of those places herself!"

Twilight gave a slow nod, "I'm just saying that hopefully he'll believe you. Neither of us want to tack on a longer sentence."

"Sentence? I'm in jail now? I thought I was just sick," Rainbow deadpanned.

"I think that was a figure of speech, Dash," Cielle said, poking her side.

"Either way," Twilight interjected, "I just hope he'll be able to see you. I can see now that it does take belief in order to do so. Fascinating, though."

"Yup," Rainbow said smugly, "I'm so awesome I need two of me to hold it all in."

"Harty har har," Twilight rolled her eyes, then stood up, "Anyway, I'd better get going. I dropped by to check on you and make sure everything was all right."

"Awww, leaving so soon?" Cielle pouted, "Don't even get to tap your cute little ass?"

Twilight shook her head, "Thanks for the offer, but I'm not in the mood right now. You girls just take it easy, okay?"

Rainbow and Cielle watched her leave. Intently. When she was gone, they turned to eachother.

"I can't decide who's is better," they said in unison.

"Coin flip's not gonna help, is it?" Cielle produced a bit coin out of nowhere, flipping it a couple times.

"Nah. Can't judge butts on a coin flip," Rainbow said with a half pout.

Cielle giggled, coming behind her and bringing her arms around her middle, "We'll do a proper evaluation sometime. For now, you've got me," she groped along her stomach and up to her chest.

Rainbow giggled, "That I do," she grinned as she cupped Cielle's rear. Next Chapter: Buzz Light-Spectrum Estimated time remaining: 13 Hours, 53 Minutes
