Chapter 8: It Is Time

Spike was sitting by himself at the mountain in which the dragon colony lived, feeling lonesome and homesick. Bizarre dreams involving his pony friends kept cropping up in the middle of the night, including one particularly gruesome one with Fluttershy whacking Pinkie Pie in the rump with a paddle. Confused and lonely, he wondered if he shouldn’t leave the colony, head to the nearest town, and write Princess Celestia desperately asking for an escort back to Ponyville. But Twilight had told him this would be good for him, and he wasn’t one to directly undercut his…what was the word he was looking for? Owner implied that he was a pet. Mistress and boss both implied subservience, which wasn’t quite right either. Spike went with the phrase “best friend” for now, even though it didn’t capture the essence of their relationship.

Spike groaned, feeling foolish for letting himself get worried over semantics. That was something Twilight was apt to do during one of her “episodes.”

Snap out of it, Spike! he told himself sternly. You’ve gotta get your head in the game.

“Um…hello?” a voice said softly. Spike turned around to see a girl dragon around his age rocking on her feet and looking coyly at him. Momentarily dumbfounded, Spike quickly recovered his senses enough to properly introduce himself.

“Hi there, I’m Spike. Who are you?”

“My name is Ruby,” the dragon said, and the name certainly matched the color of her scales and her eyes, both of which were a bright red. Her approach reminded Spike of Fluttershy when Twilight first met her.

“Hey there, Ruby, you’re not gonna make fun of me, are you?”

“What? No no no, of course not! It’s just that my brother Topaz was saying things about you and making fun of you, but what he said was so fascinating that I had to learn more about you. Are you really Twilight Sparkle’s assistant?”

“Well…yeah, I am.”

“Oh, wow! Then you must know Fluttershy!” she said, her excitement briefly overcoming her shyness.

“I do…but what exactly are you getting at?” Spike asked.

“She’s the one who told Daddy off when he was sleeping on that mountain!”

“That was your dad causing all that smoke?” Spike asked, wondering how small a world Equestria was.

“It sure was! See, he and Mommy fight a lot and he was really sad, so he thought taking a nap would help him forget his problems. Turns out Fluttershy had other plans for him.”

“Seriously, that’s really your dad? Isn’t he really tough and strong?”

“On the outside, he is, and he does show up the other males, especially when they go after his treasures. But he’s really a softie, especially when it comes to women. Whenever Mommy starts yelling at him he just cowers and takes it.” Ruby leveled a tone of disgust subconsciously as she said this, which Spike struck as odd. “What about your parents? What are they like?”

“Actually, I don’t know my parents,” Spike said. “Twilight’s raised me since I was born. Do you want to hear the story of my whole life?”

“Not all at once,” Ruby said, laughing. “I heard that about Fluttershy, too. She must really like you.”

“Yeah, all of Twilight’s friends like me,” Spike said, but it was with a tone of sadness which Ruby caught.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“I guess I just miss my friends,” Spike said. “Twilight said it would be good for me to meet some more of my own kind, but I’m just so used to being around ponies that I feel like a stranger here. Everyone here makes fun of me, too, which isn’t helping. It really sucks.”

“Well, until you met me, right?” Ruby asked.

“Huh? Well, I guess so. You’re not too bad.” Ruby beamed, and Spike returned a flustered grin.

“Well,” Ruby said, leaning in close, “between you and me, rumor has it that you’ve got a crush on a pony. Everyone here thinks that’s weird, but you’ve been around ponies your whole life, so I don’t blame you. Imagine growing up with, say, a bunch of minotaurs as if they were family. Wouldn’t you eventually fall for a minotaur?”

“I never thought of it that way,” Spike said. “All that stuff about the crush is…well, it’s true. Ever hear of a pony named Rarity?”

“I think I’ve heard the name. She’s a friend of Twilight’s and Fluttershy’s, right?”

“The very same,” Spike said. “Oh, Ruby, you have no idea, she’s so elegant and sophisticated and pretty. I can’t begin to explain how wonderful she is! I just didn’t know rumors like that spread this far.”

“You’re a pretty famous dragon, Spike. You were raised by one of the ponies who represent the Elements of Harmony, after all! A dragon being raised by ponies is one thing, but to be raised by ponies that have saved Equestria twice, that’s quite another.”

“Well, if I’m so impressive,” Spike said with a bite of sarcasm, “why is everyone making fun of me?”

“I think they’re just jealous,” Ruby said. “Personally, I think you’re cute and I think your story is fascinating.”

“You think I’m…cute?” Spike asked. Ruby suddenly blushed, which was almost unnoticeable given her bright red body, but Spike still caught on to it.

“Yeah, I suppose. Purple’s my favorite color, you know. Ironic, huh?”

“Well, you’re not too bad yourself. You remind me of Twilight. You seem very smart.”

“Thank you! Dragons don’t usually participate in education, but I’ve been trying to teach myself to read ever since I first saw a book.”

“Really? Twilight taught me how to read and write just fine. I never knew that.”

“You can read and write? I’m so jealous. You must teach me how!”

“Hey!” called a snarky voice. The voice belonged to a dragon longer and lankier than both Spike and Ruby, and the pale yellow complexion gave away that this must be Ruby’s older brother, Topaz. “What are you doing hanging around with a pansy like that, Ruby?”

“He’s not a pansy, Topaz. Spike is a fascinating dragon, and it’s unfair of you to treat him like garbage.”

“Ooh, sticking up for the new blood, huh? Does somebody have a wittle cwush?”

“Stop it, Topaz!” Ruby cried, blushing even more.

“Hey, everybody! My sister likes the pansy!” The dragons all started laughing at Ruby and Spike. Ruby started to cry and ran off, with Spike desperately following her. The laughter of the other dragons gradually faded as the two outcasts made their way down the mountainside.

“I’m really sorry, Ruby,” he said to the dragon who had tears streaming down her face. Ruby sniffled and accepted Spike’s hand rubbing her shoulder.

“Why do they have to be so mean, Spike?” Ruby asked. “Don’t they know who you are?”

“Ah, they’re just jealous, like you said. Don’t let them get to you.”

“Okay, I’ll try,” Ruby said, wiping away her tears. “I’m a mess…”

“You look fine to me,” Spike said. Ruby sniffled and laughed before letting Spike hold her. The two were graciously not heckled anymore, and so they shared the privacy of the mountainside to themselves.

***

“So…um, how does this work, exactly?” Fluttershy asked through the stick in her mouth. Pinkie Pie had made her bring it in from outside, as they hadn’t been able to gather any toys.

“Simple! You just say mean things to me and hit me with the stick,” Pinkie Pie said.

“I don’t know, Pinkie, I don’t want to hurt you…” Fluttershy said. This was not making her feel comfortable at all. Pinkie Pie giggled with that adorable snort of hers, took the stick from Fluttershy, and whacked her in the side with it.

“Ow! What are you doing?” Fluttershy asked, shocked and not a little bit aroused.

“Just showing you how much it hurts, so you won’t be afraid to give it all you’ve got. That wasn’t so bad, was it?”

“It still stings,” Fluttershy said, “but I guess it’s not so bad…”

“Well, then, what are you waiting for? Give it to me!” Pinkie Pie said, turning around, bending over, and wiggling her rump at Fluttershy. Fluttershy smiled and had to admit that Pinkie Pie had a nice, round ass.

“Excuse me?” Fluttershy asked, struggling to find the proper tone.

“What is it, Fluttershy?” Pinkie Pie asked, turning her head and looking a little concerned.

“Oh, sorry, it’s just that you shouldn’t be so enthusiastic about me ‘giving it’ to you. See, I’m not ‘giving’ anything. You’re ‘taking’ it, whether you want it or not.” Pinkie Pie understood that Fluttershy was trying to become a dominatrix, and had to stifle a giggle so as not to offend her. Fluttershy hesitated and took a swing with the stick, but she missed and fell to the floor. Pinkie Pie had to start laughing, snorting hysterically the more she tried to hold back. Fluttershy looked utterly dismayed.

“How do you make it look so easy?” Fluttershy asked as Pinkie Pie helped her off the floor.

“It’s just like acting in the Hearth’s Warming Eve play. You’ve just gotta get in character.”

“But that was a lot easier, as the character was so like me…” Fluttershy said.

“Remember what Iron Will told you? He tried to teach you to be assertive, and you turned into…well, you became…”

“A bitch?” Fluttershy offered.

“Sure, let’s go with that,” Pinkie Pie said, giggling nervously. “All you gotta do is channel that inner bitch of yours, and you should do this no problem! Here we go!” Pinkie Pie turned and bent over once again. Fluttershy picked up the stick and started again, firmer this time.

“Don’t be so excited. This isn’t supposed to be fun, at least, not for you.” Fluttershy took a swing and hit Pinkie Pie in the rump. It wasn’t a particularly hard hit, but Pinkie Pie definitely felt it and she was ready for more.

“That’s it, Fluttershy,” she whispered. Smack went the stick.

“Don’t speak unless…unless spoken to!” Fluttershy said. She hit Pinkie Pie with the stick again.

“Oof! That one hurt a little,” Pinkie Pie said. Another whack of the stick came, harder this time.

“Don’t insult your mistress,” Fluttershy warned. She hit Pinkie Pie a few more times for good measure, making sure to aim at the spots that were becoming raw. Pinkie Pie felt so humiliated, so pained, so horny. It was a wonderful feeling she thought she would never get to experience.

“Beg me to stop,” Fluttershy said.

“What?” Smack!

“Beg me to stop,” Fluttershy said more menacingly.

“Um…stop?” Pinkie Pie asked, knowing full well what was coming. Smack went the stick once again.

“Louder,” Fluttershy whispered.

“Stop,” Pinkie Pie said. Whack!

“Louder.”

“Stop.” Thwack!

“LOUDER!”

“STOP!” Pinkie Pie kept crying out and Fluttershy kept hitting her with the stick until she actually started tearing up with the pain. Fluttershy held nothing back now, this feeling of power had intoxicated her and she was unwilling to relent. Only after seeing a small droplet of blood did she come to her senses. She immediately dropped the stick in horror and rushed to get a bandage.

“Where are you going?” Pinkie Pie asked. She was surprised to see the blood dripping on the floor and inwardly congratulated Fluttershy for performing so well. Fluttershy returned with the bandage and applied it to Pinkie Pie’s wound. Pinkie Pie smiled once Fluttershy looked at her with the most apologetic stare she could muster.

“You were great, Fluttershy,” Pinkie Pie said. “I’ve never been this horny in my life!”

“I’m really sorry…” Fluttershy said.

“How sorry?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Oh, Mama’s so sorry she hurt you,” Fluttershy said, becoming a different character now, one she frequently used with Angel. Fluttershy kissed the wound gently before moving to other parts of Pinkie Pie’s rump, as Pinkie Pie had done with her. Pinkie Pie’s eyes rolled up in delight as she felt the tingling sensation of Fluttershy’s lips move up her thighs. Fluttershy, feeling emboldened and wanting to make up for her harsh treatment of Pinkie Pie, politely spread Pinkie Pie’s hind legs open. There in plain view was Pinkie Pie’s vagina, moist with the juices of her excitement and practically throbbing with desire. Fluttershy gave it a sensitive taste with her tongue, hoping she wasn’t moving too fast. Pinkie Pie shivered in shock, which caused Fluttershy to second-guess herself.

“Oh, Fluttershy, keep going, please! That feels so good!” Fluttershy, confident once again that she was doing the right thing, started licking Pinkie Pie’s clitoris. She gave it kisses and enveloped it with her tongue, tasting the sweet fluid that was discharging from Pinkie Pie’s loins. Pinkie Pie started stamping the floor with her hind leg, trying to keep herself from moaning, but a small squeal came out as Fluttershy gave her clitoris a playful nibble. This turned Fluttershy on, so she started sucking on Pinkie Pie’s vagina.

“Oh Celestia, Fluttershy, you’re gonna make me…you’re gonna make me…” Pinkie Pie groaned as she could feel her hind legs begin to tighten. Fluttershy held them open with her hooves and kept licking at Pinkie Pie until she could taste a sudden discharge of fluid entering her mouth.

At that moment, as Pinkie Pie squealed and Fluttershy moaned, Angel walked into the room, saw what the two ponies were up to, shook his head, and walked right back out, not bothering to question what was going on.

***

Applejack and Rainbow Dash were in the bushes, making out as the mosquitos began to buzz around them. They took no notice of them, even when they started biting. The two ponies were so caught up in each other’s mouths that they noticed nothing about their surroundings.

Rainbow Dash moaned as Applejack slipped her her wide tongue. Rainbow Dash could feel the Stetson poking at her mane, and so whipped it off of Applejack without breaking free of her sweet lips. The ponies moved in closer to each other, hooves wrapped around each other’s necks, sucking each other so fiercely that it sounded like they were trying to eat each other. Rainbow Dash suddenly leaned her weight against Applejack so that they fell into the bushes.

“Hold on, partner,” Applejack said, reluctantly breaking away from the kiss. “What exactly do ya have in mind?”

“Don’t be a buzz-kill, AJ,” Rainbow Dash said. “Let’s just see where this goes.”

“Fine by me.” The two wrapped their bodies around each other as they kissed deeply. Rainbow Dash could feel Applejack’s heart beating against her own, felt herself start to sweat with excitement, the mugginess in the air clinging to her hair like a warm blanket. The prickly bushes were leaving clumps in the two ponies, but they ignored this as well, so wrapped up in each other were they. Feeling frisky, Rainbow Dash put her forearm in between Applejack’s legs and started to rub at her vagina.

“Whoa, nelly,” Applejack said.

“What?” Rainbow Dash asked, feeling disappointed.

“Oh, it’s not you, Sugarcube. Let me just take out mah hair tie.” Applejack pulled at her hair tie and tossed it next to the Stetson, whipping her head to free her loosened mane. Rainbow Dash couldn’t help but notice how sexy her marefriend looked.

“Keep doin’ what yer doin’, RD. It feels mighty nice.” Rainbow Dash grinned and started kissing and rubbing Applejack with fervor. Applejack started to moan as she could feel her pussy begin to drip with ecstasy. Rainbow Dash rubbed harder and harder until she could feel the fluid on her hoof, then suddenly lifted her hoof away and towards Applejack’s mouth.

“Taste it, I want you to taste it,” Rainbow Dash huffed.

“Whoa, kinky,” Applejack said, but she opened her mouth and sucked on Rainbow Dash’s hoof.

“Well, golly!” Applejack said. “Tastes just like apples, believe it or not.”

“Whoa, really?” Rainbow Dash asked. She rubbed Applejack’s clitoris again until she felt more fluid on her hoof, then took a taste for herself.

“Oh, dear Celestia, that’s better than cider…” she whispered.

“Ah’m flattered. Now come here, you, it’s time to return the favor.” Applejack started to rub Rainbow Dash’s vagina as they began to kiss again, tasting the juicy mixture of saliva and fluid from each other’s mouth. Rainbow Dash, who was quick to start dripping, felt fluid leave her body. Applejack took away her hoof and beckoned for Rainbow Dash to open her mouth.

“Just take a lick. Ah wanna see fer myself when yer done.” Rainbow Dash did so, and smacked her lips.

“Pinkie Pie was right. That is spicy!” Rainbow Dash said. Applejack stuck her hoof in her mouth and tried the juice herself.

“Sweet Apple Acres, yer right! That’s some mighty fine juice you got pumpin’ there, RD.” The two lay next to each other and sighed, feeling that they’d earned a breather. Applejack nuzzled against Rainbow Dash’s shoulder, and Rainbow Dash wrapped a hoof around her neck as they watched the sky slowly grow dark.

“Ah never realized how beautiful the settin’ sun was until that first time we watched it together…” Applejack said.

“Yeah…” Rainbow Dash said, lost in a trance of contentment. Applejack looked at her and smiled.

“Why can’t we just stay like this, RD?” she asked. “Ah mean, isn’t this just the perfect moment, just the two of us, watchin’ the stars come out? There’s so much to do and so little time in a day and ah just want―” Rainbow Dash put a hoof against her mouth.

“Just enjoy it,” she said, and Applejack was surprised by her sudden eloquence. Applejack did as told, and the two of them watched the stars slowly come out as Luna raised the night.

***

Though Rarity had said it was time to begin, the two ponies looked at each other awkwardly and smiled, not sure where to start.

“Well, um…” Twilight offered. “We should go to my room, shouldn’t we…?”

“Oh, of course, dear. However could I forget?” The two trotted as slowly as possible to Twilight’s room to avoid starting what was to be a very strange rendezvous. They arrived at the bed and looked at it nervously. Twilight gulped and climbed up into the bed, slowly beckoning Rarity next to her. Rarity followed Twilight and lay next to her.

“Um…now what?” Twilight asked.

“Shut the blinds, first, dear,” Rarity said. “We don’t want all of Ponyville watching us lay in bed together, do we?” Twilight used her magic to close the blinds, sending the room into darkness. The two unicorns faced each other and grinned nervously.

“Should I…should I hold you, first?” Twilight asked.

“If you want to, Twilight.” Rarity said. Rarity offered her back and Twilight wrapped her forearms around her, snuggling up against her. Twilight could feel the heat radiating from Rarity’s back and became instantly aroused. Her horn began to tingle delicately.

“I can feel that,” Rarity said.

“Feel what?”

“Your horn, dear, it’s starting to glow, is it not?”

“Um…yeah, it is.”

“Then we must be doing the right thing.”

“I…suppose we are.”

“Oh, Twilight, I can’t stand it any longer!” Rarity cried, turning to face Twilight again. “I want you.”

“R-really?” Twilight asked.

“Darling, you have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this. Ever since you told me how you felt I’ve been wrestling with these desires, and now that we’re so close they’re screaming out louder than ever! I want to roll with you, Twilight, feel your body on top of mine. Will you satiate me?”

“You want to do this now?” Twilight asked.

“Yes, dear! Tell me you want the same thing,” Rarity said, beginning to wonder if this had been a good idea.

“Oh, Rarity, don’t get me wrong, I do. It’s just that…well, it’s my first time, but it’s more than that, it’s…I don’t feel so good.”

“What’s wrong, dear?” Rarity asked, concerned. Twilight sighed.

“It’s just that I feel really lousy about myself all the time, and some little voice in my head keeps telling me that I don’t deserve you.”

“Twilight, that’s absurd! You’re gifted, charming, powerful, and beautiful, yes, beautiful, and believe me, I should be able to tell whether a mare possesses beauty. It is I who should be wondering if I deserve you.”

“You really think so?”

“Yes, dear.”

“Well, that’s not the only thing that’s bothering me…”

“What else is it, Twilight?”

That voice, Twilight thought, it sounds an awful lot like my―

“Forget it. I don’t think I want to do this anymore,” Twilight said, starting to rise off of the bed. Rarity caught her with her horn and levitated her back onto the bed.

“Twilight, no! We’ve come this far and it’s too late to back out now. This is going to happen tonight, and I wouldn’t be forcing it if I didn’t think you wanted this as badly as I did. So, to be blunt, are you going to fuck me or not?” Rarity’s force, rather than pushing Twilight away, made Twilight feel ever more attracted to her. She liked this feeling of compulsion driving her to her much desired goal, the conquest of this most beautiful of mares. Spike has good taste, Twilight thought.

“Is this it?” Twilight asked.

“Yes, dear,” Rarity said. “It is time.” With that, Twilight and Rarity shared their first ever passionate kiss. Deep into each other’s mouths their tongues crawled, and both of their horns were shimmering now, casting magenta and pale blue glows in the room. Twilight pressed her chest against Rarity’s, and daringly started massaging Rarity’s leg with her own.

Rarity moaned her approval and spread her legs open to wrap one around Twilight’s. Twilight could feel the heat now, stronger than ever, radiating from Rarity’s loins. This heat surged through Twilight and motivated her to take Rarity, lay her on her stomach, and mount her.

“Oh my,” Rarity said. “You really do want this, don’t you?”

“Are you ready, Rarity?” Twilight asked.

“Ready as I’ll ever be,” Rarity responded. Twilight thrust and felt her vagina connect with Rarity’s own. Maintaining the connection, Twilight thrust repeatedly against Rarity’s rump. The clitorises made dull slapping sounds as they rubbed together, and Rarity let out some admittedly undignified moans as Twilight pleasured her. Twilight’s horn was throbbing now, so she used her magic to spread open and rub Rarity’s thighs, maximizing the pleasure. Twilight grunted as she continued to thrust, and Rarity’s moans became squeals.

“Twilight, that’s it, that’s the spot, right there…” Rarity said. “Oh, sweet Celestia, right there!” Twilight continued to thrust, but after one thrust she started rubbing against Rarity in a circular motion.

“Of all the things you could be doing,” Rarity said, “this is the, best, possible, thing!”

“Thank you…Rarity…” Twilight said between grunts, and suddenly she felt a splash of fluid release against her crotch. Twilight took this as a sign to stop, and show she slowly dismounted Rarity and collapsed onto the sheets, energy spent.

“I hope you’re not too tired, dear,” Rarity whispered into her ear, nibbling it, “because now it’s my turn. On your stomach, chop chop.” Twilight did as she was told and spread her hind legs open for good measure.

“Hmm…” Rarity thought. “Why don’t I get you warmed up first? Does that sound good?” Twilight was already burning up, but she knew the anticipation that delayed gratification brought was too juicy to pass up. Twilight nodded, and Rarity started kissing Twilight’s cutie mark. Twilight knew that this area was sensitive, but as Rarity kissed it surges of sexual energy coursed through Twilight’s veins and caused her horn to glow brightly, casting pink light across the room.

“You like that, huh?” Rarity asked. “Yes, you do…” she said as she kissed Twilight’s thighs. Closer and closer to Twilight’s pussy she kissed, until she was hovering right above it.

“Do it!” Twilight cried in spite of herself.

“Do what?” Rarity asked, feigning innocence.

“Lick it…” Twilight whispered.

“Like this, you mean?” Rarity asked, giving Twilight’s clitoris a tentative lick.

“More…” Twilight moaned.

“If you insist,” Rarity said, and she started licking Twilight’s clitoris. Twilight cried out in delight as fluids began to seep from her nether region. Rarity tasted the juice, and was surprised to find it was light and crisp, exactly how she thought a shooting star might taste as it streaked across her tongue. Rarity continued to lick until she was satisfied with the taste, and then she mounted Twilight and started to thrust, rubbing both cutie marks with her hooves. Twilight pounded the bed with her hoof as she screamed in delight. Rarity took the cue to thrust faster, and Twilight started panting in rhythm.

“Yes, yes, yes, oh Celestia, yes!” Twilight cried. Rarity continued to thrust, using her glowing horn to send ripples of energy through Twilight’s vagina.

“Oh, Rarity, whatever it is you’re doing, don’t stop!” Twilight pleaded.

“I don’t intend to!” Rarity cried between grunts as she ravaged her friend. Faster and faster she thrust until she was absolutely spent. She collapsed on top of Twilight and kissed her cheek softly. Twilight turned her head and kissed Rarity’s lips softly.

“That was great,” she said.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I did,” Rarity said.

“Oh no, I think I enjoyed it more,” Twilight said with a sneer.

“That’s debatable,” Rarity countered. “You’re quite the lover, Twilight Sparkle.”

“As are you,” Twilight responded. “I’m glad we did this, Rarity.”

“Me too,” Rarity said with a nod, “me too.”

***

Princess Celestia, now done with her royal duties for the day, was relaxing in her luxurious bed. She had sent the guards away, turned out all the lights, and tucked herself in. Ensuring that nopony else was watching, she levitated from beneath the mattress the latest edition of Playmare, for which only the mail carrier Derpy Hooves knew she had subscribed. Princess Celestia opened to the centerfold, which featured a gorgeous chestnut unicorn holding his erect penis in his hoof. Celestia slowly lowered her hoof to her own private area beneath the blankets.

Outside the room, Princess Luna peeked into the keyhole, wondering what her sister was up to. She stared, open-mouthed and in shock, when she saw Princess Celestia start to clop.
