Carousel Boutique...

Rainbow Dash pulled the car up to a rather fancy-looking, magenta circular building with yellow frills over the purple doorway. Dash and Ginger left the car but Twilight didn't move. Noticing this, Rainbow leaned in, placing her hand on the roof of the car.

"You coming, Twilight?" She asked with a light frown.

The unicorn shook her head. "No... I'll wait here..." she replied, not even looking at the mare.

Dash nodded before closing the door. "Come on," she said, looking at Ginger before walking towards the building.

The brown mare nodded and eyed Twilight before following the pegasus. "I'm sorry for all this..." she said softly.

Rainbow eyed her as she opened the door, giving the mare a light smile. "Don't blame yourself..." she said as she motioned for the mare to head inside, which she did.

As she entered, she looked around and went wide-eyed at the clothing racks around the large circular room. Each rack had dresses of different styles and colors. As Ginger took a few more steps in, she noticed a white mare with violet hair leaving the back room with a smile. She was wearing a white shirt which covered her C-cup breasts. It hung on the side and revealed her left shoulder. She also wore a black skirt that went to her knees along with black stockings and red high heels.

"Rainbow Dash," she said, approaching them. "We don't see each other nearly as much as I'd like."

The cyan mare walked up to her before they hugged. "It's good to see you, too, Rares..."

When the two parted, the unicorn looked at the brown mare. "So, you must be Ginger..."

The earth pony mare smiled nervously and rubbed her arm, still holding her bag of donuts. Rarity looked her over and smiled lightly. "You certainly don't look like a mare that deserves to be out on the streets... Ready to work for me? I have always felt that having some help around here would ease my stress..."

Ginger nodded quickly, smiling widely. "Yes, ma'am!"

Rarity gave her a smile and put her arm around her. "Stairs are in the back room. Bedrooms and bathroom are on the top floor. Why don't you go take a quick shower?"

The brown mare nodded again before taking off. "Thank you!" She called back.

Rarity watched her leave before looking at Rainbow Dash. "Good thing you got her to me when you did. She was... how should I put this nicely?"

"Stinky?" Asked Dash with a light smile. "She has been homeless for a while... The only reason she didn't smell worse was probably because she bathed in the ocean?"

Rarity looked towards the back room with a smile. "I'm just happy that she's happy."

"Yeah, thanks for this," Dash said as she crossed her arms. "I don't think Twilight would've allowed her to stay at the hotel... after what happened..."

Rarity nodded. "Generosity is my middle name," she cooed. "I probably should go make sure she doesn't use all the hot water..."

"And Twilight and I have someone to see..."

"Twilight's... here?" Rarity asked with a light smile. "AJ told me she barely gets out anymore..."

The cyan mare let out a chuckle as she rubbed the back of her head. "I, uh... seem to be the only one who can... talk her into anything..."

"That's a strong bond, Dashie..." Rarity cooed with a wink.

"Heh, she's not mine, Rares..." Dash said with a blush. "She has a girlfriend... I have one, too..."

Rarity suddenly looked confused. "But, she listens to you?"

Rainbow looked away briefly and nodded. "It's a long story..."

The white unicorn hesitated before smiling. "I'll go check on my guest... You go do your thing with Twilight, darling..."

"You got it, Rarity," Rainbow said as she turned, heading back towards the door. "See ya."

"Have fun," the white mare called as the pegasus left. She then hesitated before turning and heading towards the back room.

Bit & Bridal...

Ruby lay on her back on the ceiling, watching Jade sweep the floor. The green mare stopped and looked up at her.

"You know, you could help..." Jade said with a plain expression.

"Nah, I think I'll let you do it," the succubus cooed with a smirk. "Any idea when Flog and Sterling will get back?"

Jade sighed and shook her head. "I don't--"

Their attention was drawn to the front door as it opened, three mares stepping inside.

"Can we help you?" Asked Jade.

Adagio smiled at her before eyeing the succubus on the ceiling. "Mmm... We're new in town and just thought we'd look around..." she cooed, looking around the shop. "Do you have... bondage outfits?" She asked, walking over to racks of sexy clothing.

Jade continued to stare at the other two, who stared back at her... though the blue one was just sort of smiling. She then turned and walked over to Adagio.

"Yes..." the wolf mare said as she crossed her arms cautiously. "We have lots of bondage outfits and gear."

"Mmm..." the orange mare cooed. "Good... Show me..."

Jade eyed the mare up and down before walking over to rack a few racks away. "These are our full-body suits. You can pieces of the bondage gear on the wall over there," she said, pointing. "Stuff like boots, gloves, blindfolds, gags..."

"Well, it sounds like you have everything here..." she cooed as she walked over to the shelf, picking up a ball gag. "How much?"

"For the basic items like that gag... Fifty bucks... 100 for the boots... It varies..."

Adagio set the ball gag down and smiled. "Hmm... Seems a little much for me..." She cooed before turning to face the mare. "I have a... proposition for you..."

Jade simply raised her eyebrow as if to ask, "Really?"

The siren then began to hum soothingly as she started to circle the mare. Jade let out a soft gasp as she felt her mind being taken over, no longer able to move her body.

"Sis?" Ruby asked, noticing Jade had stopped moving.

Adagio looked over at her and smiled. "Sister..." She then looked at the other two sirens, giving them a nod.

The two smiled before vocalizing softly, raising and lowering in pitch to create a soothing tune. Ruby clenched her eyes shut and held her head, letting out a yell as she fell from the ceiling with a thud. She continued to groan before her eyes shot open. Adagio smirked before walking over to the front door, flicking a light switch and shutting off the Open sign. "Have them rip each other's throats out. Make it look like they did it to each other." Aria gave a smirk and nodded as the succubus got up and the wolf turned to face her. "And let them know what's happening... Let their last memory be that of killing her own sister..."

As the two began to near each other, tears fell from their eyes, both clearly knowing what they were being forced to do. Sonata looked over at the counter, noticing a newspaper. Walking over to it, she picked it up and looked it over.

"Uh... Adagio?" She called. "You may wanna look at this..."

The orange siren let out a deep, annoyed sigh before turning to face her. Crossing her arms, she made her way around Jade and Ruby and over to Sonata.

"What... is it?" She asked through clenched teeth.

The blue siren held up the paper. "Look."

Adagio rolled her eyes and snatched it from her, looking over the larger article. As she read, her eyes widened before looking at the two sisters, about to reach out and tear out each other's throat.

"Wait!" She called, both mares stopping. She then walked over to them before they both exhaled sharply and dropped to their knees, regaining control of their mind. "Is this you?" She asked, tossing the paper down at them. "Jade the wolf and Ruby the succubus?" The two looked up at her, panting heavily as they, for some reason, felt exhausted. Adagio smirked and knelt down. "Seems we captured us a dog and a slut, girls."

Aria smirked and Sonata clapped her hands. "Ooo, a puppy!" The blue siren sang.

Jade growled and got to her knees. "What have you... done to us?"

"You're under our spell," Adagio cooed, reaching out and rubbing the green mare's head. "I'm just letting you speak and think as you normally would..." She then stood up and smirked. "But, I still control your body..." she said with a devious smile, gripping her pants and pulling them down.

As they fell, her pointy serpent cock came into view as Jade felt herself lean forward.

"Wh-What the--" Jade gasped, before not being able to close her mouth.

Adagio gently took the back of her head and pushed her cock passed her lips. "Mmm... Good pet..." She then looked at the other two sirens. "You two can break in the slut."

Aria and Sonata both chuckled as they pulled their top off. Once naked, the approached the red mare, who stared at them as they came closer.

"Ah, shit..." Ruby muttered. "I really wish I was a real demon..."

Treehugger's...

Rainbow Dash parked the car near a small condo and shut off the engine. Glancing over at Twilight, she took the keys out of the ignition and opened her door.

"Come on, Twi," she said before getting out.

The unicorn stared ahead in thought before blinking a few times, coming back to reality. Opening her door, she climbed out as well and looked the building over. "This is the place?" She asked, closing her door.

Dash looked at the piece of paper and nodded, stepping up to the front door and ringing the doorbell. Twilight stepped up behind her, looking around as if she were on the look out for signs of trouble. After a minute or so, the door opened.

There stood a green mare with short, peach-colored dreadlocks and an orange bandanna. All she had on was a thin white robe. "Who are you two?" She asked with a light smile.

"I'm Rainbow Dash and this is Twilight," the pegasus said as she stepped aside. "Uh... T... Tresemme said you could help her relax," she explained, forgetting the mare's name for a moment.

Treehugger nodded and looked at the unicorn. "Come on in and I'll teach you how to calm your mind... and find your happy place..."

Twi rolled her eyes and sighed, walking up to her. "Alright..."

Dash patted her back and leaned in. "Have fun. I'll take the car and come back in... say... an hour?"

"An hour is just fine, dude..." the green mare cooed before entering her condo.

The purple mare turned to face the cyan one. "I hope this works..." she said through gritted teeth.

Rainbow Dash let out a chuckle and crossed her arms. "I'm sure it will..."

Twilight stared into her eyes before turning and entering the building. As she closed the door, Treehugger undid her robe and pulled it off, exposing her nicely-shaped ass and back. Twilight stopped moving for a moment before remembering what Tresemme said about her being a nudist. Continuing to follow her, the two entered a small living room as the green mare threw her robe onto the couch. Turning to face the unicorn, she knelt down on a rug.

"Kneel down and relax..." she said as Twilight looked over her D-cups. The purple mare nodded and slowly got to her knees in front of the nude mare. "Now, the first step... is to think about nothing but blackness... Or whiteness... It doesn't really matter. Now, close your eyes... and think..."

Twi hesitated before slowly closing her eyes and exhaling. When she tried to think of white, all she saw was Surprise. Letting out a grunt, she held her forehead and tied to think of blackness. The more she thought, the more the image of Surprise turned into Midnight. The unicorn's heartbeat slowed back down to normal as a light smile appeared on her face.

Treehugger scooted closer and leaned in close to her ear. "Keep thinking..." she cooed, seeing the mare smile. She then gave her cheek a light kiss. "Just keep thinking until the weight on your shoulders feel lifted and that knot in your stomach disappears..." Her hand found it's way to Twilight's belly as she gently rubbed.

Hospital...

Trixie entered Dawn's room at the hospital to see May still seated there.

"Have you been home yet?" The blue mare asked as she walked over to her, a concerned look on her face.

May eyed her and shook her head. "She didn't leave my side when I was out... I won't leave hers..."

"But, it's been way longer than--"

"I know how long it's been!" May shouted as tears filled her eyes.

Trixie jumped a little in surprise, before quickly moving over to her and giving her a hug. "We're all here for you..."

May nodded and hugged back. "I just... I miss her so much..."

The blue mare nodded and nuzzled her neck, closing her eyes. "You may not want to hear this, but... it could take a while... You can't stay here forever..."

"I know..." May whimpered. "But, I... I don't wanna..."

"Leave her, I know..." Trixie cooed. "But, like I said, it..." She suddenly stopped talking before looking down at the mare, letting out a gasp. "I'll get the nurse," she sad before running out of the room.

May quickly looked down at Dawn to see her head moving slightly as her fingers twitched. "Sis?!" She gasped, leaning in close to her face. "S-Sis?"

Cache For Cash...

Rainbow pulled up to Cache For Cash and parked the car. As she got out, she spotted a red mare with dark red hair down to her butt standing near the entrance. She wore a fancy black dress that only had the right shoulder strap, leaving her left shoulder bare. On her feet she wore black high heels, standing in front of a window and looking in at all the guns.

"Pathetic..." she mumbled. Dash hesitated before walking over to the front door. As she did, the red mare eyed her. "Rainbow Dash..."

The cyan mare stopped suddenly and looked over at her. "Uh... Yes? Do I know you?"

"No..." the mare cooed. "But, I know your group. From the paper."

Dash gave a single nod. "Oh... Okay... You a... fan?"

"Of you?" The mare asked, slowly shaking her head. "No... But that wolf caught my eye..."

"Who, Jade?" Dash asked. "Yeah, the city was pretty shocked at first when they heard that a werewolf lived here... But they soon caught on she was on our side and now they... accept her..."

"Hmm..." The red mare said with a light smile, crossing her arms under C-cups, making them seem bigger as they squished together. "So, she's a nice wolf?"

"Pretty nice, yeah..." the pegasus replied, hand still on the door handle.

"And, she's being treated well?"

Dash tilted her head in confusion. "Uh... Like family..."

"Good..." The red mare said before turning and walking away. "Nice meeting you, Rainbow Dash."

"N-Nice to meet you, too, uh..."

The red mare stopped and hesitated, before looking back with a smile. "Scarlett..." she cooed, before continuing to walk away.

"Scarlett..." Dash muttered, before entering the building.

Treehugger's...

Twilight exhaled slowly as she started to feel more relaxed. "Oh, this feels nice..." she cooed as Treehugger gently rubbed her shoulders.

"Feel relaxed?" Asked the green mare as she leaned in and kissed her neck.

Twilight nodded and slowly opened her eyes. "Strangely... I do..."

Treehugger smiled and moved in front of Twilight before laying down on her back. "Then, let's not stop, man... Let's keep this up..."

The purple mare nodded and pulled her top off, tossing it aside. After removing her bra, she slipped out of her pants as Treehugger watched her. Once nude, Treehugger's eyes fell on her cock.

"Whoa, dude..." she said with a smile. "Is that thing real?"

Twi nodded with a smile before climbing over to her. "You bet it is..."

The green mare smiled and spread her arms out at her sides. "Looks big..."

Twilight laid herself atop the mare as she smiled at her. "Mmm... Enough talking... More relaxing..." she cooed, kissing the mare's neck and making her moan softly.

Elementals' Hotel...

Flora stood on the roof of the hotel, looking out at the city with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She was wearing a short black skirt and a black long-sleeved shirt. Letting out a sigh, she looked down at the street. Thoughts of jumping began to flood her mind as she held her forehead with a groan.

"You okay?" Asked Sunset, walking up behind her. The orange mare was wearing jeans and a white shirt, accompanied by a leather jacket and boots.

Flora looked back at her and said nothing before looking out at the city again.

Sunset gave a sad frown, seeing that the green mare was still grieving. "I don't mean to be disrespectful, but... it's been a year..." she said, walking up the mare and putting her hand on her shoulder. "If you need to talk, we're all here for you..."

Flora gave a small scoff and turned, walking passed Sunset towards the rooftop door. "Yeah... Everyone but Twilight..." She opened the door and looked back at Sunset. "It's the least she could do, right?" She asked with an angry expression, before stepping through the doorway.

The orange mare hung her head slightly before looking out at the city, knowing she was right. Times were tough for everyone and Twilight shutting herself away wasn't helping the matter.

Treehugger's...

Rainbow Dash slowly opened the door to Treehugger's condo and slipped in closing and locking the door behind her. "I'm back..." she announced as she walked towards the living room. "Are we relaxed, Twilight?" She asked, before stopping and staring.

Treehugger was on her stomach with Twilight above her, the unicorn gently thrusting her cock into the green mare's ass. Twi eyed the cyan mare as she entered the room.

"I feel pretty relaxed..." she cooed as Treehugger simply let her do her thing, not caring that Rainbow Dash was standing there, watching.

Rainbow gave a smirk. "Well, I'm ready to go when you are... Finish up... whatever you're doing... and meet me outside. We can go back to the hotel..." she said before turning and leaving.

Twilight watched her go before thinking bout Midnight, her thrusting slowing to a stop before looking down at the green mare. Leaning in, she gave her a kiss on the neck. "I have to go back... Be with Midnight..."

"Mmm... Someone important to you?" Treehugger asked as she waved her butt slowly.

"My girlfriend," Twi replied with a smile, pulling out of the mare and sitting beside her. "I've been... neglecting her lately..." Twilight said with a sigh as she closed her eyes. "I've been... absent... Too focused on keeping this city safe..." She then held her head and let out a groan. "But, I can't control my emotions some times... This fucking bullet wound..."

A tear began to form in her eye before she felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking back, she saw the green mare smiling at her.

"She's your happy place, man..." Treehugger said as she looked Twilight in the eyes. "Don't let that go..."

The unicorn nodded before hugging the mare tightly. "Thank you..."

Treehugger chuckled and patted her back. "No problem, dude."

Rainbow was waiting by the car, thinking about that mare she met. She was ripped from her thoughts when the front door opened and Twilight stepped out.

"I see you got your clothes back on," the cyan mare said with a chuckle.

Twi smirked and walked over to the driver's side door. "Get in. I'm driving."

"Feeling better?" Rainbow asked as she got in the passenger's seat.

The purple mare climbed in as well and let out a happy sigh. "I found what makes me happy... Truly happy..."

"Oh, yeah," the multi-color-haired mare said with a smile. "What's that?"

"Midnight..."

As they drove back towards the hotel, Dash hesitated in thought before looking over at Twilight. "Um... So... I saw this mare earlier..."

"So?" Asked Twilight. "There are many mares around."

"No..." Rainbow said, rubbing her forehead as she thought back to the meeting. "She... She seemed interested in Jade... Asked me if she was being treated well. Then she just walked off. Said her name was... Scarlett..."

Twilight eyed her before looking back at the road. "Scarlett... Why would she care so much about Jade?"

Elementals' Hotel...

Twilight quickly entered her room and stopped, seeing Midnight and the girls watching TV on the couch. When Midnight looked over at her, Twilight quickly made her way over to them.

"Something... wrong?" Asked the black mare before Twilight leaned in and kissed her. She went wide-eyed briefly before kissing back. After what felt like forever, the two parted. "What was that?"

"Nothing, I just..." Twilight started. "I went to see someone and... I found out what my happy place is..."

"Your happy place?" Asked Midnight, smiling. "Treehugger?"

"You know her?"

Midnight chuckled and nodded. "I've been to her before... And what is your happy place, exactly?"

The unicorn leaned in again and kissed her cheek. "You..." The black mare smiled before there was a knock at the door. Letting out a groan, Twilight's smiled faded as she stood upright. Clearing her throat, she made her way over to the door and opened it. "What?" She asked, an annoyed tone in her voice.

AJ stood there, rubbing the back of her head. "Um... Sorry to bother ya, but... there's something I thought you should know..."

Twilight raised an eyebrow, wondering what could be so important as to interrupt her time with Midnight. "Uh-huh..."

"I saw a mare today at the bar... Purple... like you... Said you knew her."

"So?"

"I dunno... There seemed to be something... off about her... When I asked her if I knew her... she said... not yet... And she was tracing a circle on the table with her finger..."

Twilight let out a light gasp, eyes going wide. "Well, shit..."
