--------------------- Request Chapter: Celestia, Lily, and Luna ---------------------

The following takes place shortly after "In loving memory," And is a precursor to the very end of A Different Kind of Love: The Lost Chapters. This chapter will lead into the three-to-five part finale of Lily's tale.

Lily read the note once, twice... A third time. The guard tapped his foot as she flipped it over and scanned the back before re-reading the front for a fourth time. He cleared his throat as Lily proceeded with the fifth. "S-sorry." She muttered. "Please, tell them I accept. Thank you for your patience." She watched as the guard took the note back from her and ignited the parchment without a second glance, the ashes following him out the door into the street. He slipped into a car and drove off quickly, leaving Lily mildly shocked and more than a little inquisitive. The morning was shockingly early, and Lily had still been awake from the night before. She didn't take any customers, and after Maggie's had closed for the night, she felt both restless and bored. She had stayed up and studied more music theory, until she had recieved a call informing her to go to the front door. She had obliged, and was greeted by the guard. More than a little tired now, Lily retreated to her own room for some much-needed rest.

She awoke late into the next evening, brow furrowed as she clung to her pillow for a while longer. It seemed each morning waking up without Maggie was harder and harder on her... Running the business was taxing and time-consuming, and she felt like she couldn't do it half as well as Maggie did... What's worse, several of the girls had left shortly after the funeral, saying they couldn't take customers without the support from the older, world-wise woman. No offense to Lily, she was reassured up and down. The girls retired with a healthy separation bonus, to carry them over while they searched for new work. Maggie's appeared to be suffering without it's namesake. It was only up until her passing Lily realized how integral Maggie had been to the business... She was in the lounge every night, chatting, drinking, laughing... Lily could never in a million years do what her late mentor did for the business. She didn't blame a single girl who left.

Heaving a sigh, Lily hauled herself from bed and went to get showered, dressed, and ready for the long night ahead. The shower helped burn away her more depressing thoughts, and getting ready for the work ahead was making her feel much like her old self once more. Makeup, skirt, blouse, and bare feet, Lily shifted into Samantha Sunrunner and padded downstairs.

"Hey there, sleepyhead." Brenda said softly. Lily smiled at her friend, kissing her cheek.

"Morning. I'm afraid I have to go tonight... I'd tell you more, but it's personal." She sighed in time with Brenda, shooting her the sort of 'what can you do?' look. Brenda waved her off, spanking her rear with a smile.

"You sure LOOK like you're working." She teased.

Oh if only you knew... Lily waved goodbye to the girls already in the lounge, exiting the front door and flapping off into the waning day. She flew west of the castle, over the residential district, and out into the open space on the opposite side of the castle. Here, the currents were strong, rushing up the cliffside to help with ascending avians. It was also the side of the castle the sisters rose the sun and moon from. Lily flew about underneath the castle's protective spell, waiting for the time specified in the note... Just as the moon rose above the plains to the east, the sun setting behind the western mountains, Lily saw a shimmer in the air above her. Signal recieved, she turned into a nearby current and rode it up through the shimmering barrier, the tingle of magic helping her through. Lily had infiltrated the castle in such a way once before, long ago when the sisters needed Lily to appease their powerful brother, Dark Conquest. Wondering why they were taking such precautions again this time, Lily alighted on the same balcony she had before and shifted to her normal form, red curls and all. Neither princesses were in the lounge attached to the balcony, so Lily started a fire and got comfortable on the couch. Save for the crackling and popping of the fire, the castle was quiet. Eerily so. She drew her knees close to her chest and watched the flames dance in the hearth.

"I'm telling you, sister, she agreed..." Lily heard Celestia's voice as the nearby door opened.

"Last time we asked her to come here like this, she suffered probably the most traumatic experience anyone ever has... I know I certainly wouldn't want to be at the hands of our brother..." Luna. Lily stood and smiled at the two as they entered the room, looking regal and beautiful as ever. Celestia gave Luna a playful pat on her stomach with the back of her hand.

"Toldya." Luna grumbled and was the first to wrap Lily in a warm hug. Celestia followed soon after, adding a gentle kiss to Lily's cheek. "Thank you, Lily. We honestly didn't think you'd come, after last time, and in light of your loss... I'm glad you did, however. We have much to discuss." She smiled serenely and cupped Lily's cheek with a gentle hand.

"I almost didn't... Maggie's needs me now more than ever... We're really struggling to stay afloat. I don't know why, but we aren't recieving nearly as many customers as we have been, and many of the girls are talking about leaving. I knew none of them would make a career from it, but we're not recieving any applications, as well..." Lily fretted with the hem of her skirt for a few moments. "I fear I may have to close soon." Celestia and Luna shared a look at that. She almost asked them what they were thinking when Luna invited her to sit.

"Lily," Celestia sat opposite her, while Luna sat at Lily's side. "Luna and I have much to talk to you about, and trust me, we will. But first, we have a proposition... A favor, so to speak." Celestia crossed her legs and leaned back into the couch, her arms raising to rest on the top of the comfortable sofa.

"With all you two have done for me over the years, I don't think it's my place to deny you. Let alone charge, if it's what our standard fare has been lately." The recent foray with Celestia in a room not dissimilar to this one reminded Lily of her conundrum... The one that she was in with Celestia's student... Her gaze turned downward in light of her conflicted emotions.

"Well... It IS in your line of work..." Luna's hand slid into Lily's giving her a gentle squeeze. "But I don't think Celestia means anything along the lines of your last encounter. From what I hear it was rather..." The two sisters shared another look. "Intense."

"What Luna is TRYING to say." Celestia said softly, blushing a little. "Is this will be far from the whips and chains I've been known to use in the past. Quite the opposite, really... Luna, you've been better with the passionate side of lovemaking. You explain it." Celestia appeared slightly flustered.

"I think I'd rather show her." Luna cupped Lily's cheek, drew her around into a deep, passionate kiss. Lily tensed for a moment, but then again, being around either of the sisters was almost always a sexual experience... Lily melted into the kiss with a soft breath, exhaled through her nose. She slid her hands underenath Luna's arms, pulled the princess into a gentle hug. As always, Luna's scent was clean and exotic, smelling of a brewing thunderstorm, or a midnight breeze through a field of nightshade... Nothing unpleasant, whatsoever. Lily's hands massaged the wing joint on Luna's back, the tender muscles relaxing almost immediately.

"Haah..." Luna pulled away from the kiss with a slight flush. "F-forgot about that..." Celestia chuckled from the opposite couch, got a coy glance in response. Lily's lips turned downwards, kissing the corner of Luna's mouth, her chin, down to her throat. It was then Lily felt Celestia's weight settle into the couch behind her. A pair of strong, reassuing hands slid over her sides, around to her stomach, laying flat on her blouse. She shivered and moaned into Luna's neck, almost reluctant as the princess pulled away. Luna's hands gently pushed her shoulders around, turning her into Celestia's grasp. She went willingly, her lips meeting the elder sister's with a soft whimper of appreciation. She mirrored her actions with Luna, reaching up to grasp Celestia's wing joint and massage the soft muscles smoothly. Celestia melted against her, her entire body sagging into Lily's arms.

"She IS good at that, isn't she, sister?" Luna's breath was right on Lily's ear, her lips brushing the fine hairs on the nape of her neck. Smoothly, Luna pressed her chest into Lily's back, her hands replacing Celestia's on Lily's flat stomach. Celestia pulled away from the kiss with a soft nod, smiling as Lily opened her mouth in response to Luna's insistent lips.

"Indeed she is... Come, let's move somewhere a little more comfortable." The three rose, smiling at eachother as they slipped into the adjacent room. Lily pulled her blouse off as she heard the sound of a zipper behind her, Luna's dress, and Celestia pushed her skirt down her long, full legs. It didn't take long until all three women were in their lingere, Celestia crawling onto the bed first. Luna followed after, sliding a hand over her sister's stomach with a lusty smile. The two shared a kiss as Lily entered in, straddling the leg Luna hadn't taken for her own. Together, Luna and Lily showered Celestia with kisses, on her lips, her neck, her collarbone, her forehead and cheeks... One of each of her hands raised into either woman's hair, twining through Lily's fiery curls, into Luna's midnight-black, sparkling hair...

Lily was bombarded with the clear, cool scents, from Celestia's warm, floral scent to Luna's clear, calming one. Luna took over with Celestia's mouth, groaning as she kissed her sister deeply, with plenty of tongue. This freed Lily up to explore lower, kissing the hem of the shoulder strap of her bra, the gentle swell of her breast. Her hands explored the edges of the fabric, soon enough finding a metallic hook in the crevice of Celestia's cleavage. Popping the clasp expertly, Lily felt the fabric release it's fleshy burden, Celestia groaning into Luna's mouth as Lily used her lips to nudge the fabric aside. Time dragged on, all three women more than happy to simply enjoy one another's touch. Celestia certainly seemed to be enjoying herself, moaning and whimpering as Lily's lips traced teasing circles around her areola. At long last, Lily opened her mouth to take Celestia's nipple in, moaning at the fleshy taste. Another scent hit her nose, made her inhale long and deep... This one was more like the summer sun, beating down hot and intense on your hair, the animal smell of arousal and desire. It was...

Primal.

Lily felt a gentle pressure on her temple, and a quick glance through the concealing curtain of her hair betrayed Luna had joined her in suckling Celestia's prodigous breasts. Both women teased and sucked on the hard nipples, hands massaging her stomach as the princess gripped both heads of hair gently. The way her chest rose and fell, growing more rapid with each breath, Lily could only guess where the intensifying scent was coming from. Moreover, another joined it. Very similar, but with a subtle difference... It smelled like... Feathers... Like a feather from a passing raven, mixed with the running rapids of a moonlit river. Surprised, Lily tasted something on her lips... It was milk. Thick and creamy with nutrients, and not very much of it. Just a drop or two. She groaned and rolled it around her tongue, hoping Celestia yielded more. She did, her fingers curling more firmly into both women's head of hair as they gently fed from her.

It was an oddly comforting experience... One that made Lily's hammering heart slow and calm, her muscles relax all the more. It didn't last for long, but Lily got a decent taste before releasing the shining nipple with a breath. She and Luna joined for a kiss, the other princess' lips tasting faintly of the same milk. Of the same mind, both women slid their hands lower, down Celestia's front, underneath the hem of her panties. The fabric lifted with ease, granting both women access to what lay beneath... Sliding hands further, Lily and Luna's fingers touched on either edge of Celestia's moist lips with a gentle touch. Lily felt a tingle of magic against her arm as Celestia herself pulled her panties down and off, granting them both much greater ease in touching her slick core. Still kissing, Luna and Lily both explored Celestia's womanhood, peeling her apart, rotating her clit, sliding one finger in, drawing in so the other could replace it with their own... Celestia appeared to be loving every moment of it, whimpering and panting beneath the gentle ministrations of two experts.

Lily felt her scalp being massaged by Celestia's hands, the elder sister's eyes closed as she soaked in the pleasure from both women. It was when Lily and Luna both inserted one finger apiece that Lily heard her utter the first thing louder than a soft groan. Mouth open, Celestia reached her climax in an arousing display of passion. She was stretched out, muscles tense, as the two women above her explored her twitching core simultaneously. She came down from that high just as the two women pulled their glistening fingers out of her.

Almost as if on que, Luna urged Lily onto her back, Celestia raising up to straddle her from one side as Luna did so from the other. Under the reassuring weight of both princesses, it was Lily's turn to recieve the gentle attentions of the two women. She felt her senses dull over somewhat, the warm tingle of magic helping her to relax. Her clothes left her body smoothly, leaving creamy, soft flesh bared for hands and lips to explore in equal measure. Lily lost track of who she was kissing, who was massaging her stomach, which of the princesses was the one licking her petals softly. All she knew is the haze burned away with each of the two orgasms she reached, and she was only vaguely aware of her own mouth filled with a delicate womanhood. The whole experience was quiet, passionate, and slow... The night passed outside the balcony, unabated by the display of sensuous lovemaking transpiring in the royal bedroom. Her second orgasm came with lucidity, and Lily felt Celestia pull her on top of Luna.

Together, elder sister and changeling made love to Luna's ready body, kissing and licking her in turns, kissing when their hands took over, kissing Luna when the other went to lick the wet lips inbetween switching. Luna climaxed three times that Lily could count, each one coming faster than the one before it. It was so wonderful, Lily was pleasuring and being pleasured by the two most powerful women in all of Equestria, accepting and giving in equal measure. There was a moment of adjustment. Lily fell to her side, Celestia's head pressed inbetween her thighs. Luna's smooth, open womanhood was before her very lips, and judging by the hot breath and gentle moans from her own crotch, Lily could only guess what Luna's mouth was up to.

In that way, Lily on her side, Luna on her back, Celestia on her knees, the three women formed a nigh-perfect circle of pleasure. Licking, sucking, moaning, and using fingers when they were too filled with pleasure to do anything other than pant, all three womean were swept away on the waves of desire.

Seven times.

Lily's numb brain counted seven orgasms... Each just as wonderful, passionate, and fulfiling as the last. The sun edged at the horizon as all three women lay spread-eagle, limbs and hair tangled together as they tried to recollect all that had transpired. Breathing slowly returned to normal, and Celestia was the first to sit up. She laid a hand on Luna's shoulder, gently rousing her sister, who was on the verge of sleeping.

"Luna." She said softly. "We need to raise the sun... To put the moon to rest. And then we ourselves need to rest. Come." She smiled to Lily, who was slowly propping herself up on her elbows. "You're welcome to join us, Lily." Giving a soft nod, Lily felt both the princesses lift her up to her feet. Completely nude, the three woman were suddenly on the balcony, standing close.

"Woah..." Lily muttered, a sense of vertigo washing over her senses briefly.

"Not the first, nor will it be the last we raise the sun nude." Celestia kissed Luna's cheek briefly as they made their way to opposite ends of the balcony. Celestia facing East, Luna to the West, their hands raised and began casting the intricate magic Lily had had the pleasure of witnessing once long, long ago...

Luna's dexterous hands flicked up and down, sending each star to it's home, one by one. When the night sky was clear of them, she extended her magic out to the moon, both hands gently guiding the massive orb of light back home. She was gentle, delicate, and easy, using a firm but soft touch with each and every pinpoint of light. Celestia, on the opposite side, was a display of raw power and emotion. Her muscles bulged against her skin, showcasing this particular princess was anything but soft. Indeed, her powerful abdominal muscles clenched, her thighs tensed, and her arms shuddered with the weight of her magic. Lily hadn't seen it before, when Celestia was wearing proper clothes, but she really was toned... The elder sister was a picture of feminine beauty and health, a flat stomach with wide hips, muscular and shapely legs, and a very large bust. Her arms were slender but toned, not a single feature lost to fat or extra skin... All leading up to a very delicate (if only in appearance) neckline... Her jaw open with a raw growl of primal strength, Celestia hoisted the weight of the sun with her brilliantly-radiating hands, shockwaves of magic and force radiating outwards from her spread feet. Lily fell to her knees, felt the force of the magic push her backwards marginally.

"Come, Lily..." A gentle voice whispered in her ear. Celestia was near the zenith of her task, arms almost fully extended above her head. She looked to her side, feeling a warm hand on her back. Who she saw nearly took her breath away.

"Twilight!" The purple-haired magi smiled down at Lily, her own feet spread against the forces pushing at her.

"Stand up, Lily... Lean on me."

"I-I can't!" She whimpered. "I'm not strong enough!"

"Not alone, you aren't." Twilight grasped her arm, lifting Lily up with a gentle touch. "But together..." Both women stood, nude, against the force of Celestia's burning power. "We can withstand anything!" The last shockwave cracked the floor underneath Celestia's frame, rippled towards them, the visible distortion in the air betraying how hot, how powerful this was going to be. Lily felt a moment's hesitation. About her. About Twilight. About Maggie's, her friends, her customers, her money, her life, love, and happiness. In the breath before the shockwave hit them, though...

Lily forgot it all.

"I love you." She whispered, just as the magic broke upon them.
