Thursday, March 31, 2016 / Morning
Today's Horoscope (Virgo): Nobody's perfect. In life and in love, we all make mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them and grow.

Twilight showers first this morning while I straighten up the bedroom. I shower while Twilight gets dressed. When I come out, she's wearing shorts, a bikini top, and an open blouse. I quickly throw on some board shorts and a tank top, and we head to the living room.

Cadance, Rainbow, Pinkie, and Sonata are dressed exactly the same as they were on Saturday. Applejack is wearing an apple-red bikini today. Rarity is wearing a black sling bikini. Fluttershy is wearing the same bikini she wore on Saturday, except without the sarong, and with different, sexier sandals.

I'm peripherally aware that I'm not the only one staring at her.

Fluttershy looks around at us and blushes. "Yeah, that's right," she says. "Get a good look." She shakes her head. "I don't know which one of you I'm the most worried about trying to hump me in my sleep tonight..."

"Fluttershy," Twilight says in a tired, warning tone.

Fluttershy laughs. "I'm only teasing," she says. "Mostly." Her eyes slide sideways toward Rainbow, who has a heated flush to her face.

"Legs," Rainbow mumbles. "Legs. Legs. Oh my god legs..."

"You should really consider going into modelling, darling," Rarity says to Fluttershy. "Your grace, your natural beauty, that fantastic body..."

Fluttershy ducks her head. "You're all acting as if you've never seen me in a bathing suit before," she says.

Twilight coughs. "It's...because you've changed a lot in the last few days," she says. "And...well...the last time we went to the beach, you weren't...showing quite as much."

Twilight's right...Fluttershy's bikini is alarmingly high-cut and just barely decent. No wonder she had on a sarong before...

Fluttershy blushes. "I..."

"Have every right and every reason to show off your body," Cadance says with a smile. "Don't let everyone make you feel self-conscious about it." She smirks. "Hell, look at Rarity. If that thing slips, we're ALL getting a show."

Everyone laughs. Rarity makes a pained face.

After breakfast, we get our stuff together and head down to the beach.

Thursday, March 31, 2016 / Daytime

The beach is less crowded today than it was on Saturday.

Fluttershy joins the girls in a game of beach volleyball. It quickly turns into her versus Rainbow, and Rainbow looks like her pride is taking a beating from Fluttershy's unexpected skill. Then again, none of us should really be that surprised...

Twilight sits on the beach with Rarity and Cadance, reading and sunbathing. I decide to swim for a while.

That Lemon House place has somebody new working there today: a younger girl with long blue hair which is, for some reason, styled into ten wide, flat ponytails. She's wearing a cap that looks like a squid. The red-haired girl is frequently berating her...

We spend all day on the beach. We gather together to watch the sun set over the ocean, then head back to the house.

Thursday, March 31, 2016 / Evening

After dinner, Twilight and I are headed for the bedroom when Cadance joins us. "You know," she says, "I haven't gotten a chance to have some fun with Flash yet..."

I glance at Twilight, shifting uncertainly. Twilight smiles. "It's okay," she says. "Actually..." She blushes. "I've...been kind of looking forward to this..."

I stare at her. "Really?"

She shuffles her feet, a bashful expression on her face. "Don't look at me like that!" she whines. "You're making me feel like a pervert..."

Cadance follows us into the master bedroom and closes the door behind her. She looks us over with a sultry smile. "Finally, I get to have my cake and eat it too..."

"Don't say things like that," Twilight complains. "It's creepy."

Cadance laughs. "Sorry. It's..." She sighs and walks over to the dresser, pulling off her blouse and folding it carefully on top. "After...that awful night, the night I..." She averts her gaze. "Threw myself at Flash to spite my husband..." She sits down on the bed. "I..." She looks up at us, pain in her eyes. "I felt so horrible about what happened. Not just because of what I did, but because..." She swallows. "I've come to love Flash like a brother, and..." She sighs. "You don't do something like that to people you love. I hurt my husband, I hurt my sister, and I hurt Flash...and I hurt myself. Everyone I love and care about got hurt that night, just because I was so stupid..."

"Cadance..." Twilight says.

Cadance chuckles ruefully. "Anyway, I...I know this doesn't really say much about me as a person, but...ever since..." She sighs and looks at me. "I've...I've wanted a chance to sleep with you again...for real. Not because I was angry at Shining Armor, but because I want to enjoy you, and I want you to enjoy me. But...I knew that couldn't happen.

"But, well...Shining Armor and I have had some really long talks, and..." Cadance swallows. "Well, like I said the other day..."

"We know," Twilight says with a smile. "And..." She swallows. "To be honest, what we're about to do will remind me of...that, but..." She looks from me to Cadance. "For me, sex is...well..." She blushes. "The ultimate expression of love. And...and I love both of you so much..." She swallows. "So...so we all love each other, in...in our own special way...so this is okay, right?" She looks at Cadance.

Cadance smiles and nods. "This is okay," she says. "It's okay because we all agree it's okay." She looks at me. "Right?"

Twilight also looks at me. I laugh. "Of course," I say.

The three of us enjoy a wild, sexy night together...
