“HOLY HORSE APPLES!” Rainbow shouted, scaring everyone in the living room awake. Startled they all looked around before locking eyes with each other, beginning to blush fiercely. “AJ?! What the hay happened last night?”

Applejack stammered, looking to the others for a hopeful answer. They sat up on their flanks, stunned silence filled the room. Fluttershy trembled and began to shy behind Pinkie, who was also at a loss of words, furious embarrassment and blushes were on their faces.

Pinkie looked to the floor, rubbing her hooves together awkwardly.

“Um, maybe we should go?”

“N-no, it’s okay Pinks, we have to figure this out. What the hay happened? First it was a kissing game, then a freaking orgy?!” Rainbow asked the room.

“Dashie, calm down, we lost ourselves, that’s all. We gotta-” Pinkie started with an obvious uncertainty.

“No! I’d never do that, um, I’m sorry, but I really wouldn’t, um, I shouldn’t stay, I’m sorry. I’m really s-s,” Fluttershy began to tremble and weep behind Pinkie who turned and hugged her marefriend.

“D-darling, i-it’s fine, just fine. Um, we’re friends, right? We can do these things? Secret rules apply still?”

“You’re right, dearest Muddy. Even though there’s the humiliation of the event, perhaps we’re all closer for it?”

Applejack cleared her throat, finally with something to say. “Ahm almost inclined ta agree. We’re like family, and we’re as close as peas in a pod. Remember that in the past pony’s’d do it right in the street durin’ heat,” she tried to reason, garnering a couple uneasy nods at the pony’s of past generations.

“What time’s it?” Applejack asked as she looked to the clock on the wall and gasped. “Three in the mornin’? We done did it ‘til we were tuckered out and all fell asleep? Somethin’ ain’t right here.”

“Oh dear, I have to put out food for the nocturnal animals and check on mister turtle’s shell. I have to go,” Fluttershy quickly said, galloping to the door, “I-I’m really sorry about what I did, please don’t be mad at me.” She slammed the door and the sounds of her beginning to galloped away were heard.

“You know, I think we’re a bit tired still, perhaps we should go as well.” Muddy nodded in agreement with Davenport as they both stood and blushed at the wet spot on the floor from where Davenport was sitting. Their eyes trailed to Muddy’s chest and the matted fur that was stuck together in firm clumps.

“Don’t worry, partner, I’ll clean up here. Ya’ll have a nice rest ‘a the night and we’ll figure this out,” she gestured to the remaining mares in the room.

With their heads low the stallions left silently, closing the door with a quiet click.

The mares looked to each other in silence, not even Rainbow had anything to say. Two long, awkward, silent minutes passed.

“Um, girls, maybe I should go too?”

“Pinks,” Applejack hesitated, “if you wanna go, Ah ain’t gonna stop you, but we gotta get this straightened out, what happened ain’t what these parties are about, and we know we all have more control than that.”

“Yeah, I mean, it was awesome, but more weird than anything I’ve ever had happen before in my life! I can’t even describe it, I was out of control. Even Fluttershy was hard core fucking.” Applejack shot Rainbow a harsh glare. “You know it and saw it! None of us were inhabited, totally no inhabitednitions!”

Pinkie snorted. “In-ha-bitions. But, I don’t know. I’ll ask around tomorrow, see if anypony knows anything. I have to check on my Flutterpie-bee wybie, she’s gonna need a lot of cuddles to feel better,” she said with a sigh, “you know how she is. See ya laters gators, oh no! I haven’t fed gummy, he’s gotta be hungry as a crocodile right now.”

Pinkie trotted to the door, left and closed the door silently, slamming it with a loud bang just before it closed.

“Ran-dom.”

“Okay, Rainbow Dash, we need ta clean up and figure out what the hay happened. Did you do somethin’ to the snacks?” Applejack accused with a pointed hoof.

“What? NO! No, no, no, no.”

“Okay then, why in the name of applesauce did we all lose it and have sex all over the place like crazed dogs in heat?”

“AJ, I have no idea, but I think we should ask Twi. She’s the egghead, I’m sure she’ll come up with an idea on why we did something so awesomely weird. Maybe there’s something in the early fall air? I’m going into heat in a couple weeks, and so are you. Maybe that has something to do with it, could be we all just got a hormone high.”

Applejack looked at Rainbow for a few seconds before she relented herself to the wisdom. “Alright, ya got me. It’s early, or late, and we’ve gotta clean up, then get ta bed right. Tomorrow’s gonna be awkward as a fly in a bee’s nest.”

“Whatever. Hoof wrestle to see who cleans the carpet,” Rainbow stated landing on her belly, foreleg ready.

---

The next morning Applejack and Rainbow were standing outside their home, ready to be out and about, see the town’s life and get their mind off the previous evening. Walking into town they noticed a lot of unease amongst the population. Venders in the market weren’t advertising their wares, ponies avoided eye contact with each other, and even the fillies and colts were huddled into gender groups, whispering amongst themselves.

“Rainbow, what’s goin’ on here?” Applejack whispered up to her marefriend. Rainbow shrugged as they turned to head to Sugarcube corner for a morning snack.

The door chimed and they entered to a room devoid of the morning pony rush.

“Hello, welcome to Sugarcube Corner. Oh, hiya girls,” Mr. Cake said cheerfully, a grin plastered on his muzzle.

“Sweet tart, is the rush start- oh, hello ladies,” Mrs. Cake said in a chipper voice, smiling blissfully, “Pinkie’s still in her room sleeping. She’s been really quiet since last night, but between us, we’re enjoying a bit of silence in the house. If you’re interested in a few muffins...” Mrs. Cake trailed off slowly raising her eyebrows suggestively with a slight nod, the salesmare she was.

“Oh, why thank ya kindly. We’re not here ta bug Pinkie, she, uh, had a rough night.”

Rainbow snorted and giggled. “Yeah, rough night,” she hinted to Applejack who frowned slightly. “Oh yeah. Well, we were hanging out and she left early, I think she was a bit full with Fluttershy,” she finished grinning widely.

“Well, that’s nice to know she wasn’t hungry when she came back. It sounds like you two need a muffin or two.”

They smiled to each other. The sales ponies selling and the mares knowing they’d buy.

“Fine, Ah’ll take five. Mix ‘em up. We’ve gotta see Twilight and she might need one.”

Their snack paid for the cakes were standing side to side, waving them off, as they left.

“That, was awkward. It was like they were super happy. Like, oh boy, AJ. What if they did it last night too, wouldn’t that be weird? What if they get pregnant!? A little foal at Sugarcube Corner? They’d have two kids to take care of,” Rainbow laughed.

“Well, there’s a chance. Ain’t seen ‘em that happy in a coon’s age.”

Trotting through town they smiled at every group and individual pony they could, only to be met with an awkward smile or eye avoidance each time.

“Hey, there’s Twilight. She’s out and isn’t all mopey. Let’s see what’s up, maybe she knows.”

“Hey, Twilight? Ya gotta minute, somethin’ screwy’s happenin’,” Applejack called down the street to the lavender mare who looked to them with a sad expression of defeat. She turned and began trotting away quickly.

“AJ, what the hay is with everypony being so down today? Maybe they all need to get laid.”

A few gasps were heard around and when the couple looked around they saw shocked and blushing faces looking at them.

“Aright, that tears it, c’mon.” Applejack declared patting her stetson tighter on her head and entering into a gallop as quick as she could. Rainbow smirked as she took wing above her mate.

A few seconds later they were beside Twilight, a cloud of dust washed over them, caught in their wake.

“Alright, Sugarcube. What’s the deal? What’s goin’ on in to-wn?” Applejack stuttered as she and Rainbow appeared in Twilight’s room in the library, Twilight was on her bed.

“Girls, I’m so, so sorry. It’s my fault, did it affect you too? My stupid mistake?”

After a glance to each other they joined Twilight on the bed.

“What’d ya do, sugarcube?”

“Ah, well, I had a date planned with this stallion I met. Everything went great; dinner was perfect, we talked about stuff for hours, I even kissed him good night. Then I met him a few hours later to have sex.”

“Holy Luna’s left teats! What, I can’t say ‘shit’ around AJ.” Rainbow said as she got a painful jab in her shoulder. “Anyway, why in all the insanity of Discords nightmares would you jump on the first stallion you met the same day?”

Twilight levitated her pillow over her head and let it fall, holding it tight while she groaned. “Now, Ah know Rainbow has a way with words, and all, but we’re wonderin’ why you rushed.”

Twilight raised her head, the pillow balancing on her face covering her eyes, making her look a bit silly in her saddened state.

“It was awful. I was so awkward, I was pretending to be a nurse and I could have killed him. After I got so frustrated I just dropped the fantasy and just let him rut me-”

“Wow, you’re a tough date,” Rainbow deadpanned. Another jab in the same spot on her shoulder yielded a yelp from Rainbow. Rainbow rubbed her shoulder and pouted.

“Continue, Twi,” Applejack motioned with her hoof.

“He, well, it went in and I felt something I never did before, and I achieved climax at a higher rate than I’d ever before and it was highly enjoyable..”

“What?”

“It means she got there, Dashing,” Applejack informed.

“Oh, cummed; got it.”

“Oh gosh,” Twilight laid her head down and spoke slightly muffled. “I did that, then fell asleep in the span of twenty seconds. He must’ve been aroused still since when I woke up I stepped in a puddle of semen on his bed.”

“Wait, you’re sayin’ he finished in ya and-”

“No, no, no, no, Celestia, no. He took care of himself,” Rainbow and Applejack giggled to themselves, “well, I don’t blame him! I heard males took a few seconds, not us,” she said with a frown and taking the pillow off her head to look at her friends.

“So, a puddle? He just let it go under you?”

Twilight growled in frustration. “No, I climaxed then fell asleep, he released to on his bed next to me. Then I woke up while he was in the restroom-”

“Why didn’t he just do it in there?” Rainbow asked seriously.

Twilight face hoofed. “I. Don’t. Know. Anyway, I teleported back here and Spike was out with Rarity, so the place was mine. I felt bad for what I did to him, leaving him so quickly with a lie.”

“Heh, you mean a lay,” Rainbow winked.

Twilight stared at Rainbow for a long five seconds. “No, a lie. I told him I had to fight a monster.”

“Really? Sugarcube, ya didn’t,” Applejack asked pressing a hoof to her forehead, “even fer a lie that’s really bad.”

“I know! So, I cast a spell for him to, um, ‘get lucky’,” she finished moving her ears up with each word.

“So, how’s that affect us?”

“Well,” she hesitated, bringing a book over with her magic and opening it to a page, “see?”

They looked at the page intently. “We see, but it’s in unicorn magic script. We can’t understand it.”

“Oh, sorry. It’s a spell that grants what I thought was a night of luck. The glyph was smudged and it actually said lust. It also says here,” she pointed to a line with a symbol that looked like a swirl with a star in the center, “effect. I thought it mean ‘it will affect the pony’, but the spell is an area effect.”

“So, yer sayin’ that ya felt so bad ‘bout leavin’ this guy that ya cast a spell on, oh dang,” Applejack’s eyes widened as she understood. “Twi, we had a party last night, the first at our new place, and we-”

“It was an orgy! You made the whole town do it?! Wow, that’s what’s going on out there.”

“I don’t know what to do! Girls, I cast another spell that messed up the town. First the want-it need-it,” which garnered a frown from Rainbow, “Sorry Rainbow, now a lust spell. The whole city was having sex worse than the first week of spring! This was like everypony of every age was in heat, right in the center of town!” she shrieked pulling the pillow over her head groaning.

“Woah, everypony? Every age? AJ, do you think Apple Bloom-”

“NO! She’s a good filly, she wouldn’t be out in that mess.”

Rainbow snickered then coughed to put up a serious front. “No, she wouldn’t. But it was Saturday, what do the crusaders do every Saturday?”

Applejack’s eyes widened and she slapped her hoof to the bed, climbing to Twilight, biting the pillow and throwing it to the closed window, where it flopped helplessly to the floor. “Twi, tell me ya didn’t put my sis in some magical heat with two of her best friends durin’ a sleepover.”

Twilight shrank back and whimpered.

“Celestia help you, Twi,” Applejack said glaring at Twilight with narrowed eyes. She huffed hot air from her snout into Twilight’s face, Twilight’s mane blew up slightly, then Applejack turned to leave.

“Wow, Twi, that spell was hard core, even for you,” she flew closer to Twilight who laid on the bed, covering her head with her hooves, “at least that means Spike finally got Rares, right?”

Rainbow screamed in pain as Twilight leapt up, jamming her horn into Rainbow’s jaw, nearly making her bite her tongue. Falling to the floor with a heavy thud both mares nursed their wounds.

“What the hay did ya do, Twilight?!” Applejack barreled toward Rainbow, standing between them, taking defense of Rainbow.

“Owowow,” a tear left her eye as she patted her horn lightly, feeling for damage, “she surprised me and I jumped, that’s all. Sorry Rainbow Dash, are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’ve taken worse, just a reactive shout I use when I do something awesome,” Rainbow said taking to a hover and rubbing her jaw.

“Wait, why do you make that sound when you do something you consider awesome?” Twilight asked, cocking her head to the right slightly.

“Because it’s usually when she crashes and hurts herself,” Applejack interjected.

“Ha. Ha. Let’s go, AJ. Twi, we’ll talk later,” she pulled the two closer, “maybe we can try that spell sometime soon.”

The others pulled back and punched Rainbow in the shoulders firmly. Rainbow yelped and frowned.

“Well, what’m I gonna do? I just caused a town wide orgy, that’s never happened before. Princess Celestia will be upset, maybe I’ll be banned from practicing advanced magic for a month!?”

“Twi, calm down. Reckon yer overreacting. Remember that time you couldn’t write a letter to the Princess? Just calm down. This’ll blow over. Worst case, there’s gonna be a buncha babies in town next year this time.”

Applejack and Rainbow smiled while Twilight frowned again. “Not. Funny.”
