Applejack woke first, the covers off her body and a blue wing covering most of her. She yawned quietly as she gathered her senses and the blushed at the previous night’s events. She frowned slightly and turned over to hit Rainbow lightly on the forehead. “Rainbow, yer just the worst mare!”

Rainbow winced and snickered. “That’s one way to wake a pony up. Sheesh, I thought you liked the deluxe treatment.”

“Oh, why you,” she moved her wing and realized it wasn’t there, “oh, they’re gone! My wings.”

“Yeah, I watched’m fade out last night after I tucked in. They lasted longer than three days, but I’m not complaining,” she leaned in and kissed Applejack as she drew her wing to her body.

“Ah just kinda forgot about’m. I mean it just felt so natural ta fly after a while. Guess it’s back ta walkin’ fer this earth pony.”

“Yup, leave the flyin’ to us birds, right?” she booped Applejack’s nose.

“Well, Ah don’t see why ya gotta be that way. Ah kinda did that fer you. And we go home tomorrow, so what’s the plan now that we’re awake?”

“Sex? Lots of it?” she replied quickly and happily.

“Well, Ah do have somethin’ in mind and ya need one ta catch up for me last night.” Rainbow rolled her eyes. “Rainbow, did you really?!” Rainbow averted her eyes and shrugged getting playfully shrugged in return. “Ya ain’t supposed ta take care’a yerself with me around!”

“Well, you were right next to me, so-”

“That’s even worse! Ah can’t believe ya,” she rolled away and to the edge of the bed. She reached under it before Rainbow could joke and hopped to her hooves to walk back to her blue mare. “Now Ah’ve gotta use this and make it count,” she dropped a wing binder, engraved with Rainbow’s name in between them.

“Uh, huh?”

“On yer hooves, young mare. I’ve gotta teach you a lesson,” Applejack stomped her hoof silently into the bed. Rainbow nodded fervently in agreement and stood up folding her wings tightly to her sides and feeling a warm tingling in her nethers while the feeling of vulnerable safety filled her chest.

“Be gentle, Miss.”

“Ah’ll decide what yer gettin’, now lay on yer back so Ah can truss ya up like a turkey.”

Rainbow gasped in surprise and her eyebrows didn’t know which way to go as she processed the command. She relented and sat, rolled over, then curled her legs to her body.

Applejack took her rope and tied Rainbow’s legs with a little room for motion together. “Now, roll to yer belly and lift yer head a bit.” Rainbow gulped as anxiety churned inside her.

“AJ, you know I’m afraid of claws, right?”

“Claustrophobic? Yeah, Ah’ll keep that in mind.”

“No, I mean I trust you to keep me safe, alright?”

They shared a smile as Rainbow lifted her head and Applejack pulled a bitless bridle she had hidden beneath her and fastened it to Rainbow’s head firmly. “Young mare, you’ve been a might naughty, and Ah think ya need a lesson in proper manners by takin’ care’a yerself when I was inches away.”

Applejack tied the remaining rope to the ring and moved back Rainbow’s body and ended the rope with a firm knot at Rainbow’s tail. She moved to leave the bed and Rainbow began to feel fear creep into her. “Uh, Miss, you’re not leaving my like this, are you?”

Applejack left the bed and made to leave the room. “Miss?! AJ? Where’re you goin’?”

Applejack lowered her head and shook what Rainbow realized were the saddlebags from last night. She moved for a moment then slipped the bags onto her neck and climbed onto the bed, making her way back to the trussed mare.

“Ya trust me, right, Dashing?”

Rainbow nodded as best she could, realizing she really was tied well. “Yeah, this’ getting really freakin’ smexy.”

“Well, let’s start yer lesson,” Applejack said moving in front and past Rainbow and lowering her front, “kiss me.”

Rainbow looked at the pussy about a foot from her muzzle’s reach and leaned forward, the tension against her tail was uncomfortable enough to stop her. “Back up, I can’t reach.”

“That’s up to you ta figure out.”

Rainbow huffed and tried to get up, laying again as she nearly fell over. Then she began to wiggle her legs one at a time until she began to move closer. When her breath touched Applejack’s body, she moved forward. “Hey! I was about to start!”

“C’mon, you sure as applesauce can do better than that.”

Rainbow smirked and moved ahead, faster this time and managed to brush her tongue against the wetness her lover was making before Applejack moved away. The flavor was enough to send a tingle to Rainbow’s clit and she felt the urge to come growing, and the only way that’d happen is if Applejack got there first.

She moved swiftly and brushed her nose against Applejack’s slit letting her tongue glide inside the orange mare before she moved a little bit further ahead. The excitement of the task of getting to Applejack’s pussy was becoming more fun than the growing arousal inside herself with each time Applejack moved less and less until finally, Rainbow was able to let her tongue slide as far as it could go.

The tastes and feeling of Applejack’s walls massaging her tongue was just what they both needed. Applejack dug her hooves into the bed and bit her lip as Rainbow pleasured her. Light nips against her dock, a tongue at the crook of space beneath her tail sent her into a passionate giggle fit, and a swirl from the outside to the depths of her vagina sent the orange mare to the edge.

She hated to do it, but she forced herself to crawl forward enough to leave Rainbow looking at her with a frown. Her muzzle was wet and pussy juice dripped from her chin as she retracted her tongue into her mouth. “What the buck, I was having fun.”

“You haven’t learned yer lesson and Ah didn’t get ya all trussed fer one little orgasm.”

“Little? I’d make your hooves curl! Turn around and back up here and I’ll show you.”

Applejack stood and sauntered to the side and slipped the bags off her body and dropped the contents beside them. With a hum, she took and moved from Rainbow’s view to her behind. “Well, well. What have we here? A little mare’s happy ta see me, hey there you,” Applejack said as she rubbed the very ribbed dildo’s flared tip against Rainbow’s juicy slit, rubbing the edge of the flare against Rainbow’s winking clit.

She took the dildo in her teeth and swung it hard, slapping Rainbow’s cutie mark with it. Rainbow yelped in surprise and her bound body made to move, but couldn’t. “AJ, why’d you hit me with a cock?”

“You cussed last night, don’t think Ah don’t remember just cuz Ah was a bit tipsy.” She slapped Rainbow’s other side with the dildo and before Rainbow could complain the dildo was an inch inside her pussy.

With a tittering moan, Rainbow trembled as her clit rubbed against its ridged surface. Applejack pushed it in as far as she knew her tongue could reach and stopped to twist it around. “Now, Ah asked around and did some readin’, this’ called the spin of doom, now why’d anypony call it that, I wonder?”

Rainbow gasped as it started to turn slowly inside her. It rubbed its phallic size against every single spot she’d known since she and Applejack started having sex and by the second complete rotation she whined and shook, trying to ride the wave that struck her out of nowhere. “AJ, I’m cumming! I’m cumming right now,” she managed as her cunt gripped the rod inside her and clenched it for all her body could while marecum leaked from her pussy all around it, dribbling to the bed.

Applejack pressed it deeper into the mare’s body while twisting it with each centimeter it went. Squishing and squelching sounds escaped Rainbow’s love hole as Applejack started pumping the cock in and out of the extremely sensitive and wet mare. Rainbow fought the bridle to no avail as her tail stung with each tug of her head.

“Fritter, I need a break, why’re you,” she whined again, then whimpered as she bit the inside of her top lip. Sitting up, bound, bridled, and at the mercy of her marefriend, all Rainbow could do was focus on the pleasure being inflicted on her, then a spark of something in her chest started to grow.

“AJ, Sweet Celestia, what’s happening? Ugggh, I’m cumming, aga-” she managed as her body rocked front and back, a strained whinney, and a little more marecum signaled what’d happened. She panted as it washed through her from her clit to her nose and back twice.

“Ok, that’s enough’a that.” She let the dildo go and watched as it slowly slid from Rainbow’s pussy and each ribbed ring that popped out of her vagina sent a full body tremble from Rainbow until it reached the last couple inches and gravity took it. With a final squelch her pussy slapped closed with a squeal from Rainbow as the flare pulled one last time against her insides.

Applejack picked the dildo up and moved it away, leaving Rainbow a sweating, panting, marecum drenched mess. Hey head fell forward as Applejack untied her tail and let her head free and with a heave of air, Rainbow groaned into the bedspread. She had a minute to recover before she was rolled to the side and Applejack laid beside her, facing the other way.

Rainbow gulped. “Now what?”

“This’ called L is fir lover, I think on account’a us doin’ what we’re about ta do.”

Applejack slipped a foreleg under Rainbow and rolled her on top of her, using her legs to hold Rainbow in place above her. “Okay,” Rainbow said as she looked at the pussy below her muzzle, “am I really supposed to-” she managed before the rope atop her bridle tugged her down and her mouth rubbed against Applejack’s wet slit.

“Eeyup,” was all she said as she lifted her head and licked the cum from the back of Rainbow’s right leg in a long swath, “mmm-mmm. Ah can’t believe Ah love tastin’ the rainbow so much. Yer like… a nice mix’a candy and warm beet juice,” she said swallowing.

Rainbow relished the sensations and her tongue slipped from her mouth and right into Applejack’s lips, gliding from clit to bottom and back. The heat was intense and she wondered if her body was putting off so much. She had one thought, and that was to taste some hot apple pie.

With a cheeky grin she rubbed her chin lightly against Applejack’s clit and let it rest there and started using her tongue to slide the length of Applejack’s opening with a purposeful dip into the source of the heat right in the middle with each pass. The feeling of Applejack’s soft, hot, quivering vagina against her tongue as she dipped into it was sexy as hell and after the third pass, Applejack’s hips moved when the opening to her tunnel was teased.

With a breath in, Rainbow plunged her tongue into Applejack and felt her hind end cleaning pause. A firm bite on her inner thigh sent a spasm of pleasure into her own pussy and not two second after the bite ended she felt a familiar tongue dancing around the edge of her pussy hole.

As Rainbow searched from a new angle with her tongue she trembled as her own body was gently penetrated. She didn’t realize how sensitive she still was until Applejack started, and it didn’t help that this was her first time in a sixty-nine, nor did it help that she’d already cummed twice and was slipping to number three knowing there was nothing she could do to stop it.

The spark in her chest grew to a warm tingle and she buried her muzzle into Applejack, turning her head and pressing harder as her tongue sought out her goal. She pulled back for air and pressed again into the wet, puffy lips. Ignoring the amazing feeling of her own body being serviced again, she smiled as each ridge and bump that passed her tongue elicited a squeeze along the length.

Then she found it. The soft spot she’d heard of but until then had never found. A spot Applejack found inside her and teased her with a dozen times before. She found Applejack’s G spot, and she wasn’t going to leave it alone. She pulled back for breathable air and rested her chin against Applejack’s clit as she used her tongue like an expert and pressed against the spot with swirls and solid passes.

Applejack stopped her own labial assault and nearly inhaled Rainbow’s dripping juices as the surprise and wonderous feeling stunned her. Her legs all tensed and hugged Rainbow’s tied body to her as she grunted in rhythm with the multitude of affections she was experiencing. A spark in her own chest that she’d ignored had blossomed into a warmth that was beginning to spread.

She couldn’t move, her thoughts were cloudy, and her only thought of was her honest to goodness love for the mare she was with at that very moment.

She lifted her head and sought Rainbow’s own spot, finding it with ease as she started mewling into Rainbow’s saturated lips. They both refused to stop their individual licking and slurping, mewling into each other, for each other, and as a mutual climax built the warmth turned into a burning flame and as they came together a flash of light emitted from their bodies.

The binds holding Rainbow flew off. Her wings extended fully and she wrapped her legs around Applejack’s own legs and body and the rode each other as the massive orgasm passed through the both of them like ripples in a pond. Back and forth, from Rainbow’s nose to Applejack’s and back, they shared the same orgasm and once it had finished peaking they released one another, fell side by side, and promptly passed out.

In unison they appeared standing before each other in a void of light blue and orange spheres the size of an apple, looking at each other, in each others eyes, sharing something nopony can describe as their souls seemed to merge. They approached and embraced one another in a hug that brought all the thousands of floating spheres into them.

Applejack was the first to awaken. She was cuddling Rainbow, face to face, her own mane a mess and familiar scents on her breath as she inhaled Rainbow’s scent. She placed a forehoof on Rainbow’s cheek and caressed her lover, leaning in to kiss her.

Rainbow purred and returned the kiss, waking with her lips connected and a smile formed. “Hey,” was all Rainbow could say when the kiss broke.

“Ah dreamed of you,” Applejack said in a hushed tone.

Rainbow giggled softly. “Me too. It was like, we were meant to be one, or something.”

“Yeah… Rainbow?”

“Hrm?”

“Why’s our bed sheets blue?”

They both turned their gaze to the room they were in and sucked in a breath. “We’re in the castle’s guest room,” Rainbow stated. “Did you bang me across the city?”

Applejack swatted Rainbow playfully, if not a little too hard. “Ah don’t ‘bang’, and no. Last Ah remember we were,” she paused and blushed. Rainbow giggled at her and kissed her freckled cheek.

“I love when your freckles turn that shade of pink.”

“Thanks, but how’d we get here?”

They both rolled from the bed and went to the door, Applejack opened it and they winced at the morning sun shining at them. Two guards snapped to attention, their armor rattling and startling Rainbow enough she leapt onto Applejack’s back. She smiled awkwardly and hovered off as a guard spoke.

“Ladies, please accompany me to the royal suite. Princess Luna and Celestia request your audience.”

Without waiting for a reply the guards turned to the right and the mares were flanked, guided to follow them. “Wait, Ah don’t have my hat,” Applejack managed but the room was behind them and the stoic guard showed no sign of stopping for her.

Nearly twenty minutes later they arrived at the doorway to what was apparently Celestia’s room, of some sort as indicated by her cutie mark emblem sized across the door. A few seconds later they were escorted into the room and took note it seemed very simple for a princess’ room with few decorations, a basic office setup against the far wall facing a small window overlooking the Setting Sun Mountains, and a large pile of sitting cushions against the wall near an arched doorway leading to another room.

“Ah like it, it’s cozy.”

“I think it’s boring, where’s the Princess? What’s goin’ on here?”

“Ah, Rainbow Dash, I can tell you’re anxious as ever,” Luna called from the other room. She entered first, followed by Celestia. “It’s always a pleasure to meet you both,” she said as the celestial sisters bowed in return with their horns respectfully and gestured Applejack and Rainbow to sit on cushions that were levitating into the center of the room.

“Thank ya kindly, ma’am, er, ma’am’s, er, yer highnesses, but why’re we here? Last we knew we were, uh-”

“Rubbing our problems away,” Rainbow grinned larger after another swat from Applejack.

“What she means is-”

“It’s quite alright, we understand the ways of nature and it’s completely acceptable in both our views,” Celestia began, “but the reason you’re here in the castle is a little difficult to explain. Sister?”

Luna rolled her eyes. “Very well, since I must be the one to say it, your event last night was quite epic indeed. Not so much that anypony heard your actions, mind you,” she allowed a ghost of a smile as the mares blushed and looked at their hooves, “but you activated your elements and appeared so suddenly in the dream realm that I was forced from my duties in another dream and pulled into yours.

“A rare shared dream in which your souls intertwined and you both became one in harmony,” she looked between the mares who were scrunching their eyebrows. “What that means is that you two are bound by your elements to each other, and my sister and I haven’t any idea how that’s possible.

“Praytell, can you explain anything, excluding the feeling of release, that you felt?”

Rainbow sat up and extended her wings in a blink. “Trust! I, uh, felt trust,” she rubbed the back of her neck.

“Ah felt like I’d do anything to be by her side, and that I wanted ta be with her ferever,” Applejack blushed.

“I kinda felt that too, but it was like, I’d do anything to make her happy and feel good.”

“And Ah felt that bein’ with you was the best thing ta happen in my love life.”

“Oh! Totally got a better one! I knew I’d be by yer side through thick and thin,” Rainbow beamed.

“It ain’t a contest, Rainbow.”

“Never said it was, just that if it were, I’d’ve just won.”

“No ya wouldn’t’a!”

“Would, too.”

“Not!”

“Too!”

“Not!”

“Girls,” Celestia stated with a soft look that quieted both mares, “Applejack is correct, it isn’t a contest,” Applejack smirked smugly, “it’s a bonding that is truly rare and perhaps I should Twilight document it,” she smiled as both mares shouted their disapproval.

“Celestia,” Luna scolded, “you mustn’t tease them right now. Girls, as it is, you’re in no trouble and the coffers will cover damages to the room you were in as your elements caused the windows to crack and other such minor damages. You are free to return to your homes as your vacation is at an end, whenever you wish. You may stay in the guest suite for as long as you want, however we request you keep the volume of your, activities lower as sound travels quite far in the palace halls.”

“Yes, your highness,” they replied in unison.

Rainbow leaned over and kissed Applejack’s cheek. “I think we can keep it quiet enough, right, AJ?”

“Rainbow, Ah’m not doin’ anythin’ else with ya til Ah get some ice back there ta cool it down and then a massage, a deluxe one.”

All the mares laughed. “You may wish to try the ultimate package,” Celestia winked her eye as she stood with Luna, “it’s far better than the deluxe.”

Luna nodded once and both mares turned to the main door while Rainbow and Applejack watched, slackjaw, as the sisters opened the door and left them. “Uh, Applejack, did Princess, uh, both of ‘em just admit to what I think they did?”

“Ah don’t know, but that does sound a might relaxin’. Maybe next time we’re here though, Ah’m plum tuckered on matin’.”

“That makes one of us, let’s do it in the other room!” One of the guards cleared her throat loudly from outside the door. “What, wanna watch or join in?” She laughed as she was swatted again.

“Let’s get back to our room and then out. Ah’ve gotta hankerin’ fer some food and it’s a long way to downtown.”

“Why not eat here? Castle, free, food…”

“Rainbow Dash…” she relented, “fine, guard, can ya take us to the chow hall? Normal food, none’a that fancy stuff if ya got it.”

“Right away, Lady Applejack,” the blushing guard stated and turned left to guide them.

“Lady Applejack? She’s no lady, trust me.” Rainbow dodged another punch that was going to be less than playful. “See, no lady would hit a dame as hot as me in a million years.”

“Ah’ll show you a lady,” Applejack hopped up and tried to grab Rainbow.

“Yeah, filly, where’s yer wings? Oh yeah, totally expired. You need these babies ta get even close,” Rainbow inverted herself and regretted it as Applejack was able to grab her mane in her teeth and pulled her down into a noogie. “Ah, eep, no more! No more, auntie! Auntie! Sheesh, learn to take a joke.”

“I have you, why’d I need another joke? C’mon, let’s eat then get my hat, our stuff, and head back ta Ponyville.”

“Fine, but I get first plate,” Rainbow flew ahead with Applejack chasing deeper into the castle while the guard shook her head.

“Well, I can only be so lucky,” she mumbled as she took to a canter to catch up.

They boarded the train to Ponyville right away, missing home and their friends was taking a bit of a toll on them. They napped, kissed, snuck into the sleeping car and had a quickie, then returned to their seat, holding each other closely.

They watched as scenery passed and for some reason the train was traveling a bit slower than usual, but they enjoyed the time together as Applejack felt time pass and Rainbow snored quietly. The train arrived finally under heavy cloud cover that Rainbow cursed quietly about. “I told them to have it partly cloudy, not completely cloudy with a chance of rain.”

“Ah, don’t fret. Ah’m sure they’ll have it cleared up once ya get’m ta do their job, right?”

They gathered their saddlebags, suitcases, a small box each, and disembarked the train. The station was oddly empty but they trotted around the ticket and lounge area to quite the surprise.

The whole town was there, facing them and stomping their hooves with a few hoots and hollers. Rainbow smirked and looked to Applejack, dropped all her items, and held the box between her wings and tore it open. She presented her offering. “AJ, it’s a quicksilver hoof cover from Luna herself,” she watched as Pinkie hopped to the front of the crowd and a banner rose, held by the crowd with an explosion of confetti and streamers, “AJ, will you be my herdmate?”

Applejack gulped and before she could answer there was a boom in the sky as the Wonderbolts cleared the sky, above the cloud layer the same question was written in the clouds.

Applejack took her hat off and pulled out the horseshoe. “It’s enchanted from Celestia. And Ah’d be honored to be your herdmate as long as you’ll be mine.”

They grinned and lunged into a tight hug as the crowd erupted and with the cue from Pinkie, the Wonderbolts performed a stunt that showered the crowd with sparkles.

As the mares exchanged gifts they couldn’t help but look at the crowd and grin before holding their hooves up to show their union.
