Rainbow awoke to find her bed empty and the smell of pancakes and bacon permeating the air of her house. Fluttershy's favorite song played through the speakers as she hummed along to the tune. Rainbow smiled and quickly jumped from the bed, eager for her lover's homemade breakfast. Fluttershy was probably the best cook in the world in Rainbow's eyes, and she had never had a meal she didn't enjoy.

Rainbow quickly slid into some clothes and ran to the kitchen. Fluttershy stood at the stove, a spatula in her hand and the lyrics to the song on her lips as she set a timer above the stove. "And the tables turned around..." she sang as she quickly flipped the pancakes and bacon in their pans. Rainbow grinned as she quickly moved behind her girlfriends before sliding her hands to the smaller girl's breasts and giving them a squeeze.

"Good morning," Rainbow said as she kissed Fluttershy's neck.

"Good morning." Fluttershy moaned as she leaned into the kiss. Dash began sucking lightly on the nape of her lover's neck and ran one hand from her breast to the button of Fluttershy's pants before sticking her fingertips in the band of the pants. Fluttershy began panting loudly and shaking in place. Dash quickly opened her eyes and looked at the timer above the stove. She had five minutes to get her lover off before breakfast.

She closed her eyes and thrust her hand into her lover's pants and began rubbing small circles in the smaller girl's panties. Fluttershy was always most sensitive to the touch in the mornings, Rainbow had no idea why, but she always tried to take full advantage of it.

Fluttershy moaned a weak protest of, "Dashie, I'm cooking..." but quickly fell silent as Rainbow quickly kissed her earlobe. She relaxed in her lover's touch and Dash quickly moved her hand from Fluttershy's breast under her shirt and bra. Rainbow gently pulled on her nippled and continued lightly sucking on Fluttershy's neck.

Fluttershy squeaked as Rainbow's finger passed over her clit and Rainbow tried not to smile to widely as she felt Fluttershy's legs turn to jelly. Rainbow placed her knee between her lover's legs and used her powerful lower body to lift the girl in the air and take the pressure off her legs. She leaned her back towards the kitchen table to replace her foot on the ground so she wasn't fingering her lover while standing on one leg.

Fluttershy turned her head and brought her lips to Rainbow's as her lover picked up the pace of her vigorous rubbing. Fluttershy pressed her tongue into her lover's mouth and moaned loudly as Rainbow, once again, pressed firmly on her clit. Rainbow felt sweat bead down her back and forehead as she continued to work on her lover. The kitchen was quickly heating up, despite the expensive air conditioner her father had bought the previous summer.

She pulled away from her lover's tongue, but Fluttershy did not notice. Her tongue still hung from her mouth as a trail of saliva connected her with her lover. She moaned openly as Rainbow continued to rub circles between her folds.

Rainbow quickly thrust one finger inside of her lover. She knew Fluttershy enjoyed being penetrated much more than she did. She thrust her finger as deeply inside the smaller girl as she possibly could before hooking her finger and using her thumb to continue rubbing small circles on Fluttershy's clit.

Fluttershy's body locked up for a moment before tremors ran through her body and she moaned quietly. She gently ground her hips on her lover's finger as the last shock-waves of her pleasure began to pass. She simply rested in Rainbow's lap as the larger girl sat on the table, both of the panting from their early morning exertions.

After a moment Fluttershy mumbled a soft, "I love you, Dashie."

"I love you too, butterfly." Rainbow said with a gentle nuzzle into her lover's neck.

The timer above the stove rang and Fluttershy giggled quietly. "I should take care of that..." she whispered.

Dash slid her hands out of her lover's clothes and smiled. "Yeah, hate for you to burn my second favorite meal." she said with a wink.

Fluttershy giggled and nodded as she returned to the stove and began singing the new song that played. "The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me..."

Rainbow smiled as her lover began softly swaying with the song as she finished preparing their breakfast. She stared at her lover's hips hungrily as she swayed and smiled as she imagined what their night might consist of. She was still day-dreaming about her lover, tied up and covered in whip-cream as Fluttershy placed plates on the table.

"You need to eat if you're going to have the energy for what you're thinking about, Dashie." Fluttershy giggled as she began tucking in to her own plate. She opted to only eat pancakes, leaving all of the bacon for Rainbow Dash. Rainbow had been unsure of dating a vegetarian at first, but after a while she realized that Fluttershy didn't judge those who ate meat, she just wasn't going to eat any herself.

She grabbed a generous portion of bacon and quickly shoved it into her mouth while her lover smiled and rolled her eyes. "I think I'm going to the farm today." Fluttershy said quietly. "I wanted to check on Adagio."

Dash frowned but nodded all the same. She knew that Fluttershy loved everyone, even people her girlfriend hated, so she knew she would eventually go see the siren.

"What are you going to do today?" Fluttershy asked.

Rainbow shrugged as she bit another piece of bacon. "Thinkin' bout checking on Pinkie Pie." Rainbow said around her mouthful of bacon. "I might hate Adagio, but I guess she wouldn't tell me to keep an eye on Pinkie Pie without some kind of reason." she explained.

"I think that's a good idea." Fluttershy nodded. "I just hope she's wrong and Pinkie is okay."

"Me too." Rainbow said quietly.

Adagio had taken a short break from television with the others. The had opted to watch the movies in order with the show and were now on the third movie of the second series. The would have been further, but the three of them had fallen asleep on the couch during the night and had had to rewind the show.

Adagio had asked if the other's wanted anything from the kitchen and after two quick, but polite, "No."s, she had gone to get herself something to eat. Big Mac had been in the kitchen when she walked in.

"Am I bothering you?" Adagio asked the large man.

"Nope." he said.

"I was just looking for something to eat. Is that alright?"

"Eeyup." he said.

"I just didn't want to overstep any boundaries." Adagio explained as she opened the fridge and grabbed the milk.

"Do you have any cereal?" Adagio asked.

"Eeyup." Big Mac said again. He reached on a shelf above the fridge and handed the siren a box of apple-flavored cereal.

"I don't know what I was expecting." Adagio mumbled, causing the large man to chuckled and ruffle her large orange locks. "Thank you, Big Mac."

"Eeyup." he said before turning and leaving out the back door. He had already agreed to do all the chores on the farm for the next few weeks whilst the rest of them turned towards their current predicament. Adagio had grown fond of the large quiet man fairly quickly. He did not waste words, but he was still kind towards the siren.

She smiled as she quickly poured the cereal in the bowl and hummed a tune to herself.

A sharp pain in the middle of her back stunned the siren and dropped her to her knees. She fell forward and her head hit the table. She winced as she rolled on her back and looked up at her attacker. "You kissed my sister!" Applebloom cried.

Adagio shook her head in a vain attempt to clear it. She blinked up at the small girl. "Yeah, I did." she said.

Applebloom scowled and kicked Adagio in the side. Adagio cried out with pain as the powerful foot connected with her ribs.

"Stop hitting me!" she yelled from the floor as tears began to sting her eyes.

"Shut up, dyke." Applebloom said before bringing her foot back for another kick only to be stopped by strong arms behind her lifting her into the air.

"Applebloom!" Applejack yelled.

Applebloom squirmed in her sister's grasp to no avail. "Let me go!" she yelled.

Rarity quickly ran around the struggling sisters and pulled Adagio's head into her chest. "Are you okay, dear?" she asked as she cradled the siren in her lap.

"She's strong for such a tiny girl." Adagio gasped as more tears ran down her face.

"Farm work." Rarity said with a small chuckle. "Come on, let's go back to the living room and leave these two alone."

"Nope." Applejack said as she planted her sister in a chair. "Adagio ain't leavin' till Bloom apologizes to her."

"It's fine." Adagio said as she stood.

"It ain't fine." Applejack said. Despite the summer heat, the chill in her voice froze everyone in the room to the spot. Adagio quickly realized that of all her new friends, Applejack was probably the most dangerous. "First, you showed violence to a guest in our house." Applejack said as she placed her hands on the table before her sister. "Then you called her a name that I don't care for."

"She is a dyke." Applebloom mumbled.

"You know I'm datin' Rares, don'tcha?" Applejack asked. "Does that make me a dyke too?"

"Why are you on her side?" Applebloom asked.

"Because she's my friend." Applejack said darkly. "And I won't let no one, not even family, hurt my friends an get away with it."

Rarity sat at the table near the young girl. "Why would you attack her?" Rarity asked. "All she did was grace your sister with an innocent kiss."

"Why the hell are you on her side? She kissed your woman!" Applebloom yelled.

"Language, Bloom!" Applejack yelled.

"Like you have any room to talk!" Bloom said. "I've heard ya'll out in the barn and in your room, 'Oh, fuck me harder, Rarity'!" Applebloom mimicked loudly.

Applejack raised her hand above her head, fury etched onto her face. Bloom closed her eyes in anticipation of the slap of a lifetime. Adagio stood as Applejack's arm fell, and caught the girl's open palm directly in her face.

The siren hit the ground with a loud thump causing Applebloom to open her eyes and laugh.

"Why am I always the one getting hit?" Adagio asked herself as she picked herself off the floor.

"Applebloom, go to your room." Rarity said sternly. Applebloom looked ready to say more, but at a glance from her sister she quickly retreated up the stairs.

Applejack stared at Adagio for a moment before wrapping her arms around her and crying into her hair. "I'm so sorry." she said. "Thank you so much. I was about to hit my own little sister."

"It's okay." Adagio said as she pulled off Applejack's hat and placed it on the table before running her finger's through the girl's hair. She had always found the motion soothing for everyone involved. "I just didn't want you to do something you might regret later."

"I was just so mad. I don't know what's gotten in to her. She's always been such a good girl." Applejack bawled.

"That really was unlike her." Rarity mumbled. "I must confess I was angry enough to resort to violence too."

"I don't want either of you to do something you might regret." Adagio said as she continued running her fingers through her friend's hair. "She's just a kid. She probably just didn't know how to react."

"How did she know we kissed?" Applejack asked quietly.

Everyone froze. "You don't suppose..." Rarity let the question hang in the frozen summer air.

"No." Adagio said. "No, that doesn't make sense. She can't be the one following us. She didn't know anything about it last night, or she would have attacked me then."

"So, whoever's following us has a hold of ma little sister?" Applejack asked as she pulled away from the siren's embrace.

"That seems likely..." Rarity said.

"Maybe she knows who it is..." Adagio said.

"I'm gonna ground her." Applejack said firmly. "I'll take her phone away and see if I can't figure it out, she won't be allowed to leave the house, so she won't be able to talk to whoever it is."

"Maybe if we just asked her." Adagio said with a shrug.

Applejack shook her head. "No, she won't throw 'em under the bus for us. Not right now anyways..."

"What does she know about the plan?" Adagio asked.

"Nothing at all at the moment." Rarity said. "We've not mentioned anything outside of the barn."

"So we have to keep the plan secret even in the house?" Adagio asked.

"I'm afraid so." Applejack said with a shrug. "We'll figure it out."

"Well, love." Rarity said gently pushing Applejack's hat back in place. "You should cool down a bit and then go ground your little sister."

"Let's eat some breakfast and watch a couple episodes of our show first." Applejack said. "Then we'll get down to business."

Pinkie sat alone in the dark staring at the cover of the book she had borrowed from Sunset. It glowed and vibrated in her arms, but she was too afraid to open the cover. She almost didn't want to know what Twilight had responded with. It was like this every time she used the book to communicate with the princess.

Every time she sent a message to her, she feared that her response would be heartbreaking. She always invited Twilight, hoping that this time would be different and that it wouldn't just be meaningless sex, but something more. She feared that Twilight would pick up on her desires and brush what they have aside to keep from disappointing the girl.

Despite all appearances, Pinkie was a very intelligent girl. She knew that Twilight would never love her for her, but that did not stop her from longing for the princess. She would lay awake long into the night most nights, and simply think of the girl she loved. The way her hair smelled and how soft her skin was, and how beautiful her laugh was...

She loved Twilight Sparkle, but that wasn't a good thing. She stared at the book for another moment, pondering simply ignoring it and telling her friend she never received a message, but she decided against it. She would face the princesses message head on.

She opened the book and stared at the new words, magically formed on the page.

Sorry, I have important plans tonight. Can it wait until tomorrow night?

Pinkie felt a tear fall from her eye as she read and re-read the simple line over and over again. The implied meaning of the message was a single word missing from the first sentence. The word was 'more'. She had more important plans tonight. She thought there was something more important that the fragile girl's feelings.

Pinkie swallowed a sob and stared at the page a moment longer. Her response should have been a simple 'No, it can not', but she didn't write that. She knew that if she admitted it couldn't wait and confessed her feelings to the princess, then maybe, just maybe, she would have a shot at what she actually wanted.

Genuine love...

Still, she did not do that. She reacted the same way she always did when brushed to the side. She smiled through the pain and wrote a quick.

Of course it can, silly. I'll see you tomorrow night. :)

Then she would go stare in the mirror and laugh until she cried. Laughter was the heart's medicine in Pinkie's mind. Laughter would cure her heartache eventually, she just had to keep trying.

Besides, it wasn't hard to laugh at someone who was completely irrelevant.

Pinkie sat in front of the mirror and pointed a finger at the most irrelevant person she had ever seen and laughed. "You're such a joke!" she laughed, as the reflection pointed and laughed back. "It's hilarious that you think someone as great as a princess could ever love you!" she laughed again.

Her reflection's eyes filled with tears as she laughed, but she did not care. Her reflection could cry if she wanted, but she was going to keep laughing until she could not laugh anymore.

A knock at her door broke her from her broken sobbing reflection. She giggled loudly as she asked, "Who's there?"

"It's me," came a familiar raspy voice.

"And me." came a second more familiar voice.

"It's me and me 'who'?" Pinkie giggled.

"Good one, Pinkie." Rainbow said through the door. "Now let us in, okay?"

"Okie Dokie Loki." Pinkie chirped as she looked back at the mirror. Her friends were here, they would laugh with her. Surely they would also enjoy laughing at the miserable broken woman in the mirror. She was pathetic. Look at her, tears running down her face, snot bubbling from her nose with every breath, and the face of a person who has lost their mind.

Yes, her friends should enjoy laughing at that person too.

Author's Notes:

Alright everyone, this is where things get complicated.

Seriously though, what have I done. Do I have a plan? Or am I just a raving lunatic, bent on stretching out this story for as long as possible? Who knows?

In case you were wondering, the two songs playing in the beginning of this chapter are: Fluttershy's favorite song- You're Going Down by. Sick Puppies. (She thought it was the name of a veterinarian band, but quickly discovered they were not, but not before figuring out that she loved their music)

The second song: Butterfly by Crazytown. That is her song with Rainbow Dash and the song that played for their first kiss. I might do backstory on that, but I dunno yet.

As usual feel free to leave thoughts, comments, corrections, opinions, and nice pony memes, in the comments section.

I regret nothing.
