"Mistress Moonlight,
Come again please
Here I am on my knees
Beggin if you please

And the night you don't come my way
I pray and pray more each day
Because I love you
Mistress Moonlight"
Mr. Moonlight- The Beatles (with poetic license)

Dash found herself strapped down on a steel examination table. She lay on her back, her legs apart. The table was tilted forward, slightly past a 45 degree angle. Struggling was useless. Harshwhinny was in a white lab coat, standing behind a metal console, adjusting knobs and clicking switches. There were a number of brass levers on the side. Occasionally she reached over and moved one. The lights from the dials in the console lit her face from beneath. The exam table faced a semi-circle of chairs. Two dozen or so ponies wearing lab coats and carrying notepads and instruments looked at her without expression.

"You will observe this young female Elite pegasus. She is just under 20, you'll see all her details in your folders. You are here to witness the process that occurs when a female Elite Pegasi is exposed to the hormones of a male that has responded to her in the initial stages of estrus. He has become aware of her estrus primarily via her scent and his body is preparing to enter the courtship ritual."

An assistant unsealed the lid of a large glass jar. With a long pair of forceps, Ms. Harshwhinny reached in and pinched a piece of gauze then lifted it out. Dash turned her head to the side and held her breath. Harshwhinny held the gauze under Dash's muzzle and waited. Unable to hold it any longer, Dash finally exhaled and took a deep breath, swearing she could fight it. She waited. Nothing happened. It hadn't worked. She looked at Harshwhinny with pure hatred. Harshwinny looked at the clock. Then Dash started to feel it. It was happening again, only now she knew what she wanted. No matter what she thought about, her mind turned it into erotic images. She concentrated on numbers - counting - and she focused on them, but it was too late. Her body had betrayed her. She felt the desire rising, her body responding. She fought to ignore it but she felt herself aching for touch, for release.

"Ah, here we go - her reaction is quite plain - the sexual organs have become engorged... Why don't you all come up and examine for yourself. Come now, don't be shy, we're all scientists here." "

Most of them stood up and approached Dash. "Typically at this stage in most mares, physical arousal will cause the coat over her vagina to part revealing her sexual organs, however, they are clearly more pronounced with the Elite Pegasi. Feel free to examine them yourself, but please be gentle. You'll find the rubber gloves over on that second tray. Her clitoris, which is larger than average by about 15 percent, has now enlarged to about 25%."

Her head was not restrained but she chose to keep it back against the table, pressed hard, eyes squeezed tightly shut. She felt their hooves on her, examining her. Occasionally it became too much and despite biting down hard on her lower lip, a whimper of shame and desire escaped her. She found herself unwilling to verbally defend herself, too ashamed to speak and afraid of what she might say. Her pride and self-respect fought fiercely against overpowering desire. Dash became dizzy, unable to focus on anything except her sexual hunger.

"It is evident to all how this mare feels about me, is it not? She uttelry despises me. Despite that she will accept what I have to offer." Harshwhinny began to massage Rainbow Dash between the legs. Dash's face instantly reflected the gratification. Harshwhinny continued, eliciting moans of pleasure. Then she stopped. Dash's eyes opened and she looked at Harshwinny, wordlessly pleadying for mercy. "I'm sorry, but we need to save her orgasm for later. This however further demonstrates the intensity of the desire. She is clearly quite upset, yet if you will look, you'll see that there is no lessening of her arousal. I don't know how many of you have ever tried to achieve an orgasm while crying, especially as distraught as she clearly is, but I assure you that despite this, had I continued she would have achieved climax within 1-2 minutes. This is covered in section 6 where I discuss the mind-body dichotomy."

"Essentially her body only wants to ensure the elite bloodline continues and it knows that a coupling will achieve that. Therefore her body has released hormones far more powerful than any of us can imagine in order to bring about the extreme desire for sexual gratification. This is necessary as a primary motivating factor as the means to that end. She is quite literally at the mercy of her libido. Were I to release the restraints, her hooves would immediately go directly to her vulva and she would be to bring herself to an orgasm right here in front of all of us, rather than try to find somewhere private first."

"Even without touch, her body responds. You can see her powerful haunches contracting. The force inside her, the muscles of her vaginal walls are quite powerful. Her sexual responses are no longer part of her emotional experience, though were she to just relax and enjoy it" Harshwhinny growled at Dash, "She might find it less unpleasant!" She turned to the assembled scientists "Now I will demonstrate how her body reacts when the male elite pegasi mounts her and penetrates her. Please take a step back."

A brass arm extended down from above the table. Attached to the end of it was a metal cylinder of brass. It was shaped like a penis and looked cold and frightening. Dash's face went white with fear as Harshwhinny, using the brass levers near the console, maneuvered it into position, its tip poised at the opening of her vagina. Harswhinny squeezed a handle and Dash cried out as it entered her...

Rainbow Dash sat hugging herself in a tight ball, rocking back and forth, her forehead resting on her knees. She was in a grassy glade by the side of a small brook. All traces of physical desire had left her, all that was left was the awful humiliation and shame. Other than the stream and the distant birds, the only sounds were strained whimpers of intense pain coming from her. Tears streamed from her eyes, dampening her knees and she wrapped her wings around her as much as she could.

A soft slow beat of wings sounded near her and she heard somepony land to her right. She tucked into the ball tighter.

“Rainbow?”

It sounded to Dash a little like Harshwhinny…

A bolt of fear shot through the young pony. She sniffed hard and with the back of her hoof first wiped her eyes, then the mucus that dripped from her nose. She took a deep, shaky breath, and prepared to face her princess as though everything was just fine, that she was suffering from allergies. She raised her head and turned with a trembling smile.

The face of Princess Luna held such incredible concern, sympathy and love that Dash’s attempt at a cool casual greeting crumbled like a wall of sand. Luna walked to her, sat down and put her arms around her, then wrapped her large midnight blue wings around the little cyan pony, completely encompassing her.

In all her life, Rainbow Dash had never felt so completely safe or secure. She let all her pain burst through her walls and she cried out in agony. The pain had become unbearable. Dash let go of her legs and turned toward her princess and returned the hug, holding her and crying.

The huge wings remained around her, enveloping her as Luna held her close. Were that gesture not enough, the princess placed her cheek atop Rainbow’s mane and rested her head protectively there. There had never been any place at any time in her life where Rainbow would have preferred to be but here, now. She sensed the immense power around her, never realizing the awesome strength and magic that the younger sister possessed. Controlling both night and day would have been a flight through the park for this alicorn, and yet one would never have guessed it.

The events of her nightmare were suddenly insignificant and silly and couldn’t touch her. Her heart slowed, her breathing calmed and suddenly her face was dry and her nose was clear. She sighed and felt the wings open and warm air rush in. The princess looked down into Dash's eyes.

“Do you feel better now Rainbow Dash?”

Dash looked back up over her shoulder into Luna's eyes. “Yes your highness, thanks. Uh... I mean thank you.”

“Please, remain casual in your speech, I understand.“

“Where are we? Is this like, a dream?”

“Indeed. ‘Tis your dream my little pegasus.”

Dash looked around. “Yeah. Well, uh, that’s cool. I feel better now, so thanks. I guess I can wake up, so uh… Can you lend a hoof princess? You know – maybe a kick to the head or something?”

"You do not need my help for that. You shall awaken at the time you are ready.”

“So I guess that means I’m not read… oh no.” Dash sat there, frozen in stone.

“You have surmised that your princess of the night is actually here, within your dream, have you not?”

Dash just nodded. “Uhhhh, you’re highness, I didn’t mean to disrespect you – I didn’t know it was really you.”

“Do not worry, I understand.”

“Whew, I mean I was getting a little casual right there, you know, telling you to kick me in the head and all.” Dash smiled sheepishly. “So, what brings you to my dream? I mean not that you’re not welcome, just curious.”

Luna looked puzzled. “Do you not know? I am usually there when one of my subjects is in pain. Are you not upset? Your tears upset me greatly young Rainbow Dash. For whom were they shed?”

“Oh, yeah, that. Well, I kinda strained a wing and it hurt. Yeah, that’s pretty much it - the old sore wing accident.”

“Is this the truth that you speak?”

“Who, me? Truth? Of course. I wouldn't lie to you. Not this pony, no M’am!”

“Thou dost protest too much me thinks”

“Thou dost pro who now?”

“I feel that you are withholding things that you wish to tell me. Are they too personal? I would depart, though I can feel that you still want me here, else I would leave.”

“Are you sure about those feelings? I mean I don’t think I need help." Dash looked down. "Anyway, if I did, I kinda doubt you’d understand.”

“So it is personal. You are embarrassed to tell me. Of what are you afraid? Do you think I shall judge you or find you to be abhorrent. Oh, it is a word that means despicable, revolting, awful.”

Dash looked away from her; an expression of pain crossed her face. She looked down and kicked a clump of grass with a forehoof. Her voice was soft. “Yeah," she said, “Abhorrent sounds like it about covers it. Nothing against you Princess Luna, but it’s really personal and really embarrassing. It’s something you probably don’t even know about and if you did you would think it was pretty sick and despicable and revolting like you said. I don’t think I could ever tell you, you’re too refined, with royal birth and all.”

“I see.”

Dash grew even more despondent. She felt horrid enough alone, now in the presence of royalty she felt like a perverted lech who ought to be thrown into prison. If Luna had any idea of what Dash had done, she’d most likely vomit first, followed by condemning her to death or, were she too weak from vomiting, banish her. She'd have to think of something else to tell her. She was beyond help.

Luna's countenance grew dark, her voice took a tone of solemn severity. “So, thou hast clearly done something abhorrent. We can sense it, something vile that it would make us retch. Thou has behaved in a depraved manner, debasing thyself to the point of irredeemable disgrace. Though uncertain of the act of which you speak, thy is surely guilty of it! No matter - thy princess is disgusted with thee nonetheless. We know that we can devise a punishment befitting this heinous crime."

Dash, eyes cast downward sighed. “Yeah, I doubt it.”

"We must think on this. Ti's not every day we must come up with a punishment to fit the crime. Tell us the nature of the crime."

"I'd really rather not." Dash looked at the dirt clod she had kicked up, wishing she were under it.

"Ahhhh, this sounds like something very private. We think we might know of what you speak. What punishment, though? It must be fitting to the crime. I must get into the correct frame of mind. Prisoner!"

Dash blinked "Uh, yeah?"

"Do you mind if we masturbate? We find we think better after an orgasm or two."

Rainbow Dash was frozen at the spot, her jaw agape.

“Art thou surprised? Do you not think your princess enjoys the carnal pleasures of the body? You princess is quite fond of orgasms! You may recall she was locked in the moon for over a thousand years!" For a moment Luna grew somber, "She has many orgasms to catch up on," then she brightened. "Sometimes, during a single session, I'll have several!" Luna paused for a moment then scowled, "though not all the time...”

Little noises came out of the back of Dash’s open mouth.

Luna grew enthusiastic and leaned toward Dash. “Wouldst thou like to hear my fantasies? Some are quite inventive, extensive and involved. I have quite a number of devices I've collected since returning to Equestria, which I employ. I do have one in particular that I prefer…“

“STOP!!” Dash was finally able to yell, “No! No no no no!! You are my princess! How can you – you know- do that?”

“It depends. Sometimes I use several of my devices in long drawn out. sessions. Other times, it is just our hoof. That is usually the case when I find a pony is having an erotic dream in which I am a participant. I sometimes go and observe. I cannot take part and my presence is unknown, but I draw immense amounts of inspiration from it.

“Wait, you, uh…”

“Go into dreams and find they are of a sexual nature? Certainly, but only if I am one of the ponies of whom they dream."

“WHAT??!!"

Luna gave her a nudge then leaned forward with a raised eyebrow and whispered "I have seen who you dream about along with me."

Dash's face went white and her pupils became tiny points.

“Yes my little pony. As I consider the look upon your face, I presume you are thinking on a particular dream..."

“I am SO SORRY!! Please don’t kill me!!”

Luna laughed until she had tears in her eyes. “Do not be silly Rainbow Dash. I thought it quite amusing, not to mention inspiring!”

“Yeah, but what did Princess Celestia think?!” Dash said with fright.

“She does not know – and I cannot nor would I ever speak to her of it. I should explain further. If I am part of your dream and I observe it, I am unable to speak of it to anypony. That is to say even should I want, I could not relate to anypony what transpired unless you bade me do it. So what happens is between you and I, and Rainbow – I do not judge you, for there is nothing to judge. It is only a dream. Oh - I thought the outfit in which you dressed me was quite becoming. In fact I had one made. I enjoyed watching us try on different clothes. Thou has excellent taste.“

“But I had you, you know – do that thing…”

“To Tia? Silly pony - 'Twas just a dream! That was not Tia, it was your imagination of Tia. Dost thou forget what thy did for me? And then to me? And then for me again? " Luna asked, raising her eyebrow. "Twas most... inspirational to watch! We did a great deal of catching up on our lost orgasms that night, I assure you. Though the following night I think the moon was rather late in being raised..."

Dash's face now went bright red and she squeezed her eyes shut. She turned away from the princess.

"NO! I mean yes, I mean I forget! And whatever you remember, it wasn't with me!"

"Liar!!" Luna yelled and laughed. "Thou art such a liar!" I posses the most knowledge about dreams, it is seldom we can control what happens within them. But fear not – they were phantoms, thoughts and smoke. As I have said, they are not the ponies, they are your imagination of your friends. Nothing really happened – ‘twas was only in your mind. And Rainbow Dash, you are very giving in your love. You always ensure that all partners in your dreams are well sated before you are. You are a wonderful pony. Having said that, should you know of the things of which pony's dream, thou would be shocked, some would make you sad beyond description and others, well, they are inspiring.

"What about, you know, when we, you know, well, like..."

"Awaken and satisfied thy urges? I am gone. I cannot enter fantasies or thoughts, only dreams.”

"Oh, well, I guess..." Dash's face was pink and she found she was able to look at Luna without feeling too self conscious.

"Yes?" Luna asked, her eyebrow raised again.

"Uh, oh, um, nothing."

"Thou art so competitive! You wish to know how your dreams compare to others, dost thou not? If they are more arousing?"

"Well, yeah, I guess... Kinda."Dash said sheepishly.

"Well yours are some of my favorites." Luna said with a smile and raised eyebrow. Dash pulled her head back and her eyes opened wide for a second in shock. Then she leaned forward with a smile.

"Really? You think I'm hot?"

"Your dreams are quite... imaginative let us say. You do not have so many, however, the ones you do have are very - " Luna thought for a moment, "hot as thou sayest. There is one in particular. It is with you and I and Big Macintosh, Applejack’s brother. Did thou know he is gifted?”

“Is he ever!” said Dash dreamily.

“I speak of his intellect.”

“Yeah, sure you do! If by intellect you mean that package of his!”

“AH! I believe I know to what you are referring! He is, in fact, prodigious."

“I hear that sister…” Dash smiled dreamily. Then suddenly her head snapped up in embarrassment. "No! I mean I don't, you know, uh..." Then she looked at Princess Luna, sitting there smiling at her.

“Why are you doing this Luna?”

Luna took Dash's chin in her hoof and gently lifted it. She looked into her eyes. “Because Dashie, I love you and I do not want you to feel bad about what is perfectly natural. I can not help you as long as you do not trust my desire to help you.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard that before.”

“I know you have.”

“You do?”

“You have dreamed of your conversations with her..”

“Wait, so you saw my dream earlier, when I was strapped down to that table and the fucking bitch sleeping next to me put on display like some scientific experiment? You saw THAT?!!”

Luna smiled warmly. “Yes, I did Rainbow, and that is why I am here. On some level you called out to me. I would have come to you sooner but upon seeing your anguish I found I had to collect my own emotions before joining you so as not to upset you. It caused me much pain to see you hurt so. In the meantime, however, I found I was able to break a rather serious rule and so sent you to sit beside this quiet brook."

Dash looked at Luna and felt tremendous love and gratitude. “I mean I was up there, strapped to that table, being poked and prodded and stroked, and all I could think of was how badly I wanted some pony in me!"

Luna calmly nodded

"Princess! You don't get it! I was utterly humiliated, I wanted to die. Then that awful brass thing came down on that arm. It stopped right between my legs!” Dash was getting extremely upset and tears began to spill onto her cheeks. She looked at Luna, rage in her eyes and her teeth gritted. "But I wanted that thing! More than anything I've ever wanted!" Dash yelled, sobbing. Luna walked over to her, pulled her close and once again wrapped the midnight wings around her.

“It's okay Rainbow, it's okay, I'm here, shhhh,,,”

Rainbow Dash calmed down and became quiet. Luna opened her wings and stepped back.

"You seem better now, are you okay?"

Dash nodded.

"You now know you are an Elite Pegasus."

“PLEASE don’t call me that! I HATE it! I never asked for it and I don’t WANT IT!!”

“You are not the first to utter such things.”

“I would have called you crazy an hour ago, I mean I thought being one was the coolest thing ever, but not now.” Dash shook her head. Then she looked at Luna with curiosity. “So,um, you know, would you have, you know done it? Like in front of me?”

“And I still will. Thou needest but to ask.”

“But you know that I won’t. You’ve seen into me and you know that I’d never ask you to lower yourself to do that.”

“You still think it is lowering?”

“Well, if you do it and love it as much as you say you do, then maybe I've been wrong.”

“Well then, I await your decision.”

“I believe you Luna but I would never ask you to do it. I kinda know what it’s like and it got me into a bad situation.”

“You are very perceptive Rainbow Dash. I would have been very embarrassed to have done it, for it is quite a personal thing and to be truthful I am glad you did not ask me, but I would if it would make you feel better about doing it yourself. I have never done it in front of anypony. In fact, 'tis something I have never discussed with anypony ever. I am glad thou does not take this offer lightly." There was some gravity behind Luna's voice.

"So why me? You were ready to do one of the most un-princessly things I can imagine, for me.

"Thou art in extreme pain in thy heart and soul. Was thou not having thoughts of great darkness?"

Dash looked down and spoke very softly. "Yeah, I guess I was."

Luna placed her hoof under Dash's chin and lifted it. She looked into the teary violet eyes. She spoke tenderly. “There is little this princess would not do to save thy life. I knowest what thy did to save the life of thy sleeping friend here when she acted upon her desire for great darkness. Thou offered to debase thyself. 'Tis easy enough to say such things, but, thou followed through when you could have walked away. When she awoke, she did not remember what you had said, and you knew that. Thou art a pony of great honor Rainbow Dash. T'would be a great loss were my kingdom to lose such a noble soul. We can easily do without and Elite Pegasus, but we could never be truly happy without you. To lose you would break the hearts of all four of thy princesses." Luna paused and looked at Dash with a smile. "Especially this one's." Tears now filled Luna's eyes and she pulled the little cyan pony close. They remained that way for awhile. "Rainbow Dash, I believe it would be most helpful if you would explain to me what you think your dream means.”

“I- I don’t know. It was so strange, didn’t you think? I can’t imagine where all that craziness came from! All those scientists and Harshwhinny with her lab coat...”

Luna looked at her without blinking.

“Well Harshwhinny and I were, you know... uhhh...doing it and, uh, it was awesome and hot. and I was pretty cool with it. At, you know, first...." Dash’s eyes were wet. “We were, you know, and then it was like I couldn’t stop”

"Is there more? Do not tell me if you do not wish to."

“I’m sorry princess. We were having this fight. She pinned me to the bed and it really pissed me off. Before we knew it things were getting pretty rough. Really rough if you want to know the truth. We were kissing so hard that we both cut our lips against our teeth- I mean it got crazy. I think she even hit me."

Luna stood up and a look of pure rage came over her face. It frightened Dash to her core. "No no no, Princess, I kinda deserved it. I was being a real little snot. I refused to listen to her. I can get pretty obnoxious at times."

Luna relaxed and then smiled. "Yes, I recall your behavior at the Nightmare night celebration. I believe it was there that I first came to know the term suggesting that what thou gives out, thou shalt recieve."

"Riiight - Payback's a bitch."

"That is what Princess Twilight said after I sent that bolt of lighting toward thy posterior. I trust it did not hurt too much."

"No, my flank didn't hurt a bit."

"That is a relief - but I heard it hit - oh no! Please tell me I did not hit you..."

"Oh yeah, right there. It was my own fault. I should have kept my legs closed. It wasn't that bad, actually. It was tingly and every time I, you know...have an orgasmt- tiny lightning bolts appeared around my clit and you can hear thunder in my vagina."

Luna's laugh was wonderful. It was strong and full of joy and Dash couldn't help but smile. Every time she would calm down, the princess would recall the words and she'd erupt into laughter all over again.

"I have not laughed so well in many a moon, You are most wonderful Rainbow Dash."

"Ah - I'm just kidding, you nailed me square in the flank. I thought I could make you laugh. It's an awesome sound."

"Thank you Rainbow, 'twas very funny. Please tell me about what happened with you and Harmony, I want so much to help thee."

"Well there is this position-"

“The position to which you refer has many names. It is ancient and quite popular between mares.”

“Well we were doing it. Harmony was lying down…” Dash closed her eyes, unable to look at her princess. “I was straddling her, you know pzzy," she mumbled, "with mine, you know, riding it. I felt myself starting to uh...well . you know..."

"Have an orgasm? Reach a climax? Hmmm? CUMM???!!!

"eeyeah..." Dash confirmed, then blushed. "Suddenly my hips started to, like move faster than I thought I could.”

“And this troubled you?”

“No Luna, it was that nothing was going to make me stop. Not unless you dragged me off of her.”

“It felt that good?”

“No... well yeah. It felt so good that I didn’t have any control. My body took over and I loved it. I don't know if I could have stopped it, I really didn't want to. Like –have you ever been enjoying something so much that no matter what happened you wouldn’t stop?”

“If you are speaking of sex, then there was a time when Tia - Princess Celestia - caught me pleasuring myself. I was in the middle of an orgasm and she just walked in.”

"She would come into your bedroom without even knocking?!"

"Oh, yes, well, perhaps I was not in my bedroom. I may have been in the castle's library looking through some books I had not known were there, though they appeared to be heavily used.."

"Were there pictures?"

"A great many of them. Some very cute mares and their stallions in all manner of positions. There was one set of two very cute mares who were engaged in the very act you describe. They both looked extremely happy."

“Yeah, well take it from me - they were. So what did you do?!!”

“I masturbated!"

"No I mean when Princess Celestia walked in on you!"

"Oh, yes, well I was quite embarrassed. I pulled my legs together but I could not pull my hoof away," Her attitude suddenly changed. She spoke as if she were back in the library addressing her sister. Her voice carried no small amount of petulance. "We could not stop, we were right in the middle of an orgasm!. It felt too good!!" She turned back to Dash. "When she saw what I was reading a look of horror came upon her countenance. Her face became quite red and she looked straight to the shelf from which we had taken them, though 'twas on the other side of the room - I often wondered how she knew..." Luna looked at Dash with a very sly smile. Dash returned the smile and winked.

"She stormed from the room and later she berated me for having no sense of decency. Then she asked me the location of the books. I told her I had burned them. Her face turned whiter than thou hast ever seen it, take our word! I laughed and told her I put them back on the shelf from whence I had taken them. She was not amused. Though we certainly were! She never questioned where I had placed them. From that time forward, should I venture to the library, she would smirk and roll her eyes. It quite annoyed me. That was until I caught her.” Luna’s smile was one of self satisfaction.

"PRINCESS CELESTIA??!! You caught the princess playing with herself?? What was she doing, how was she doing it - Wait, no, don't tell me. It's kind of like hearing about one of your parents doing it. I really don't want to know."

"That is a wise choice Rainbow Dash. In any case I would not have told you. Please let us get back to you."

"Well like I said, I felt like I was going out of my mind. Oh, right, I was asking you about stopping in the middle of it."

"Were I in the midst of a wonderful powerful orgasm? I doubt I would have."

“What if somepony had walked in holding Princess Celestia’s severed head?”

“I would laugh. T'would be a stuffed head made to look like Tia’s. There is no creature on earth that could sever her head. “

Dash rolled her eyes. “Just go with me on this, would you? Suppose it was sompony you really loved, oh…”

“You?” Luna asked.

Dash was taken aback by the implications. “Why me? Is that how much you love me?”

“Yes, I love you, but no more than I love your 5 friends, or any of my subjects, though my heart has a very special place for you 6. I have not answered your question. If I were in the middle of an orgasm and the severed head of anypony were bought to me, of course I would stop. What kind of creature would not… oh.”

Dash looked up at her. Her eyes were full of pain and wet with tears.

“Twas that bad?”

Tears ran down Rainbow’s cheeks as she nodded. “If they held up the mutilated body of Scootaloo, I wouldn’t have broken stride. I would have cried hysterically, but my body was after another orgasm and nothing was going to stop it.”

Luna looked at her, not saying a word.

Dash became more upset. "And I wouldn't have wanted to stop it! I would have looked at the bloody body of one of the sweetest little pony's I know, I mean she's closer than a little sister could be. She idolizes me and loves me, and I would have still wanted to keep cumming."

"I know well the pony of which you speak. She is a dear one and a very brave one. I too hold her in a special place in my heart. I know you wold have stopped."

"No I WOULDN'T!! I thought of her! I closed my eyes and imagined that wonderful little filly torn to shreds by a Timberwolf and it didn't even slow me down. That's what scared me the most."

“I am sorry Rainbow. But I do know of the Elite Pegasi and what happens when two of them mate for the first time.. Theirs is a forbidden history and goes back several hundred years before I was banished. I can tell you of it because you will find it impossible to speak of it to any other pony. Should you try, you will find it impossible, lest we are speaking together. At that time we could tell others of what we shared. Else, the words will never leave thy lips, just as mine will never let me tell anypony about thee. “

“Really? Is that true?”

“I swear upon my life. What you share with me in a dream will only be shared between us. In the corporeal world, what you would call awake, we shall be as we always have. Only if we are together and agree, can your dreams be shared.”

“Oh yeah – Rarity was telling me about how you helped Sweetie Belle.”

“Yes, and that is because Sweetie Belle wished to share it and I agreed. We must both be willing to share with others what we have shared between us. But I digress. Many years ago, after the founding of Equestria, despite what you have heard, the 3 tribes did not get along, and there was a constant threat of war.”

“But Hearth's Warming Eve? Everypony was cool after they straightened things out. That’s what went down, right?”

“I fear there is much myth in that tale, Dashie. It is often the case- Why do you smile so? Dost thou like it when I call thee Dashie?”

“I love it, love it, love it Princess. It’s like the best thing ever.”

“Then I shall continue it Dashie.”

Rainbow Dash went to Luna and sat in front of her. She leaned her head up against the beautiful midnight blue coat, and listened to her heart.

“Whatever it is that comes after awesome - you're like the thing after that.” Dash kissed the spot over Luna’s heart then rested her head again.

“This makes me very happy Dashie, more than I can say," there was a tremor in Luna's voice. "I have a sense that Scootaloo is not the only pony in need of an older sister.”

Dash leaned her forehead against the soft coat and nodded.

“Then tell me of your fears my little sister.”

“On one condition.”

“Thou hast not been thy sibling but these few moments and thou is already laying down the rules?" Luna laughed. "What be this condition oh sister of many colors?”

Dash looked up at her, and smiled broadly. “That you visit me in my dreams more often.”

“I will try, but I have obligations to help others.”

“Then come to me when I am awake. I feel so nice and safe when you’re with me. And I’m usually the one that makes sure others are safe.”

“I will be with you whenever I can Dashie, but what worries you now?”

“I – I don’t think Harmony really loves me.”

“Why?”

“Well it was like we were having sex before, there wasn’t any love there, and she was like telling me about the whole science thing during it. Like I was her big experiment and I was proving that her theories were all true. I bet she was getting off on that.”

“Dost thou think thou are so difficult to love? Thou are immensely loveable! Show me the pony of another mind and I shall show thee a liar! And should one have to look anywhere but to thy beautiful face or body to bring desire, I would show thee a pony in great need of glasses!”

"Yeah, 'tis true... I am pretty hot."

"AH! That is the Dashie I know! And did you not save the life of yon Harmony?"

“I’m beginning to wonder about that, too. Were those pills even real?”

“Ye think that she used pills with no potency? Have you the pills?”

“I don’t think so – wait! I do! I remember I cleaned up the floor so the hotel staff wouldn’t find them. They’re in my saddle bag. They're probably all melted.”

“The potion within them is true or it is not. We will know. Why did you not flush them down the toilet?”

“I dunno. I just kept them.”

“Kept them. That is an interesting choice of words, Dashie.” Luna thought for a moment, then looked back at Dash. “Why did you keep them?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did you have doubts? Even then?”

“Yeah, maybe. I mean the whole thing was so weird. I went to her room, and she was totally out of it, but I kept remembering that she said she probably wouldn’t be around the next day. I thought I knew what that meant. Turned out I was right. Then she had those pills.”

Dash looked at Luna, her face one of desperation.

“Luna?”

“Yes Dashie?”

“Does she love me? Does she really love me?”

“What dost thou think? What dost thy heart tell thee?”

“No. I think that fucking cunt just want’s to write a book about me!" Dash snapped. Her eyes suddenly went wide before she closed them and smacked her head down onto her hoof. "Oh great, then Twilight will read it and ask me all about my twat!" She rolled her eyes skyward "Just great!” She crossed her forelegs on her chest and turned away to sulk.

“Rainbow Dash?”

“What is it?” Dash was clearly annoyed.

“What is this twat thou speakest of? Do I also have a twat Rainbow Dash?”

Rainbow looked at her and burst into laughter. She rolled around the grass in hysterics, holding her stomach and kicking her legs until tears came to her eyes. Finally she calmed down.

“I guess it must be most funny. I would like to see one.”

Dash calmed down and started to catch her breath. Then she smiled. She was laying on her back so so she opened her legs, and relaxed her pelvic muscles, exposing her pink vulva.

“Ah! 'Tis thy vagina!" Luna leaned toward Dash and raised an eyebrow "Tis fairer than even I had imagined.”

Dash bought her knees together and shook her head. “You sure know how to make a little sister feel better about herself. I gotta... wait. Did I just flash Princess Luna?? Did I just show you my..."

“Twat? Yes, you did, but thou are no longer pouting about Princess Twilight Sparkle questioning thee about thy twat. And we are no longer just princess and subject. We are close friends - sisters- who can tell each other anything. Like the difference between a pussy and a cunt. They are used in so many ways - it has caused me much confusion.”

“Well this is my twat." She said, pointing to her crotch with her hoof. "But it’s also my pussy and my cunt. But a twat can also be a clueless mare, a pussy can be a colt or stallion who is a lightweight. Well not like he's light, but he's got no courage, he won't face up to his responsibilities. Cunts...hmm. well, a cunt can be a bitch.”

“So a female canine can be a cunt? Is Applejack's dog Winona such a cunt?”

“No," Dash laughed again. "It's more like a really mean filly, or mare. Do you know Diamond Tiara?"

"Yes, she attends school with Scootaloo and Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and Twist and Pip..."

"Right, right. Well she's got cunt potential. If they had a "Future Cunts of Equestria" club - she'd pretty much be their president with that Silver Spoons probably as VP. But sometimes I think Spoony may not be all that bad. She's just a follower. Cunt's are usually kinda hot and they use their sex to get what they want.”

“Ahhhh, I am familiar with this type. 'Tis most distasteful.”

"Oh my gosh! You've been in their dreams!! Oh right, you can't talk about it. Well next time you're there, you can tell DT to lay off Scoots, and the rest of the CMC's."

"'Tis not my intent to tell ponies what to do. I only wish to help them find what they know in their hearts to be true, despite what their heads may tell them."

“Well then I guess my heart is pretty stupid because it can't figure this out."

"What dost thou wish to know?"

"Am I in love with a cunt? Does she love me?”

"How many questions is't thou asking Dash?"

"Uhhh two?"

"Thinkest again"

"What are you talking about?!! Question one - Am I in love with a cunt?! Question two - does she love me? Pretty straight forward there Luna!"

"Is it? Perhaps thou should'st break the question down one word at a time for thy older sister. Hhmmm?"

"For a princess, you can be pretty thick."

"Humor us."

"Whatever."

"Thou certainly art taking thy time in performing a simple task."

"Fine! Break it down? OKAY!" Dash rolled her eyes

"Ammmmmm..." she paused as if addressing a foal "...eye... pause ...in... pause ...luuuuuuuve...

Luna cocked her head a fraction of an inch. Dash continued ...wihhhhhh... The sound faded as Rainbow Dash was struck dumb. Her jaw hung slack and she stared at Luna for help. Then her face clouded over.

"That's ridiculous! You're questioning whether or not I love that cunt?!"

Luna said nothing.

"I saved her life! Of course I love her! I did what I promised, I wore the stockings. which I totally rocked by the way. I did it, and we made love. I lick - uh - did things I thought she would like, and she did. It was incredible. we made amazing love. It was funny and caring and sweet. And at the end of it she did all these things, even after I came... like, clean me up..." Dash slowed down. "...and make sure I was on the dry spot of the bed and that I was comfortable." She looked at Luna, her voice became more caring. "And the next day when I woke up I was a friggin mess. I had never had sex with an older mare, I had never gotten that crazy with anypony. I said some pretty nasty things to her, but she was really nice..." Dash lowered her head, and her voice took on a tone of shame. "...and didn't say anything except that she wanted to help me. Then told me about being an Elite Pegasus. I told her about my Uncle and how when he was visiting I got all crazy with masturbating. She told me what I did before I told her."

"Did it make thou feel better?"

"Well, yeah, it made me feel great. She told me how it was totally normal. She knew it all. A part of me that I never told anypony about was suddenly cool. I can't even tell you how happy it made me."

"Allow me to ask a question of thee."

"Sure."

"If Harmony told you what you did, for what experiment does she need you?"

"I don't know! To show the world that she was right about how Elite Pegasi have sex."

"But did she not tell thou how to have sex before thou had sex with her? Would not thou simply have followed her instructions?"

"Yeah, I guess. I pretty much did."

"And were she to strap you to that table in front of those scientists, what would she say? That thou did things that an Elite Pegasi would do during sex, especially if thou were told what to do? It does not sounds to us like anything about which one would write a book. No new news or discoveries, other than that an Elite Female Pegasus can follow verbal directions."

"Yeah, I guess... Hey you're right!! She totally blew any chance of proving what she had been studying by telling me all that stuff!! She does love me!!!" Dash took off and flew several somersaults, woo-hooing with each before landing in front of Luna. "Please oh please oh please don't tell her I called her a cunt! Oh wait, you wouldn't, that was stupid of me. Sorry sis. What? What's with the look?"

"Thou has answered two of the three questions. Harmony is not a cunt, and Harmony does love thee."

"Oh, yeah, right..."

Luna leaned over and kissed Dash on the bridge of her muzzle. She held her lips there for awhile, sensing the pure joy that radiated off the cyan pony.

"Guess it's time to wake up, eh sis?"

"So soon?" Luna asked with a little sad smile, but those two words filled Dash's heart with light. She looked into Luna's eyes.

"I love you, soooo much."

"I love you too Rainbow Dash. Give thyself time to think. Feelings are complicated and love far more so, though it is the simplest thing ever."

"Will I see you again soon?"

"Of course, now get some wake!"

Dash smiled, and stretched and yawned.

Author's Notes:

"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup..." John Lennon, The Beatles.
My words are echos from Equestria.

My poor beloved Dashie. This all takes place before the events with AJ and Twi in Ponyville. That's why Dash is the way she is in that book. She drinks too much at the party and is generally out of control. There is one more chapter in this book that is very very important. and then the story moves on to Something. This is as good a place as any to mention that I need to return to Blackbird. So much depends on the history that takes place there. I will tell you this - Elite Pegasi were not the result of some cute experiment.
