Twilight's Midnight Violations

a Shameless Clopfic

Chapter 10

The weight of her saddle bags pulled on her dress, the groceries they held causing the fabric to bunch up and pull tightly across her flank. Thankfully, at the moment that just helped add to the cloth that was serving to cover up Twilight's secret. Her trip to the market had gone better than she had expected. No pony seemed to notice or even care that she was dressed, even on such a warm day. As she made her way down the dirt road, she glanced up at the sun overhead. Today was warm, but she knew it wouldn't last. Fall would be starting soon, and the days would soon grow cooler. But perhaps that was a good thing. Most ponies tended to actually wear clothes when the weather turned cold, and it wouldn't seem as out of place for her to go about clothed all the time. Maybe she'd actually go out more then. After all, nothing had gone wrong so far today.

Of course, the day wasn't over yet. And she still had one more stop to make. One more errant, which she dreaded more with every step her hooves took down the dusty trail. With a glance back over her shoulder, she saw the buildings of Ponyville proper in the distance. A sigh escaped past her lips as she let her head hang slightly.

"Ugh.. I really wish I could put this off, but..." She turned to look down the dirt road, along the simple timber fence and the light plum barn roof in the distance. "Spike's right. I need to get this over with. I can't just avoid all my friends for the rest of my life."

With a deep breath, Twilight continued on her way down the road. Every step she took, she could feel her resolve starting to waver. As if the closer she got to Sweet Apple Acres, some horrible force was slowly sapping her strength. Twilight knew what this force was. It was doubt. Doubt that this could have anything but a sad ending. Just what did she expect to happen once she reached that farm house? That Applejack would forgive her? Would still be her friend? Be her mare?

With a shake of her head, she looked up at the red barn looming closer. How could Applejack forgive her? She couldn't even forgive herself for what she had done. She regretted every moment she spent in the grip of that curse. That 'blessing'. But despite this, she could feel something else gently prodding from the back of her mind. Some small part of her that did anything but regret. A small part that almost wished for those times again. For the freedom and certainty she had. For the indulgence in sensation. For her mares.

Her eyes more intent on the ground than her destination, Twilight slowly made her way through the open gate in the fence that surrounded the barn yard. With a deep breath to help steady her nerves, she slowly looked up, her eyes coming to rest on the front porch of Applejack's home. With a mixture of disappointment and relief, the orange mare was nowhere to be seen. Only the quite sound of a rocking chair greeted the unicorn as she made her way up towards the porch. The green, elderly mare looked up from the knitting she was occupying her hooves with.

"H-hello, Granny Smith." Twilight said, her voice shaking a bit. She knew this wouldn't be easy, but at the very least, she wouldn't have to see her. Right now, Twilight didn't think she could handle having to confront Applejack herself. Even if her family was just as likely to hate her, at the very least she'd be able to keep her own panic in check. "I... I was hoping I'd be able to purchase some..."

Twilight's voice trailed off as she watched Granny Smith. The old mare's knitting was forgotten as the slow rocking stopped. Twilight could feel a lump forming in her throat as she looked into the old mare's eyes. The cold, angry glare was enough to make the unicorn's knees grow weak, and give her the sudden urge to take off back towards down. Slowly Granny Smith stood up from her rocker, turning to slip back into the farm house. Twilight watches, staring after the old mare for a few moments, wondering if it would be best just to head home when the door started to open again.

"Ah don't see why you can't deal wiff 'em iffen they just want ta buy some apples"

That voice made Twilight's heart pound in her chest suddenly, and the blood drain from her limbs. Her eyes grew wide as she watched that orange mare, her mare, step out through the door, looking back over her shoulder as she called back into the house before turning to see who it was that had come calling. As she turned to see who it was, that dusty old stetson still perched atop her head, Applejack's eyes grew wide and trembling, her mouth hanging agape.

Two things rose in Twilight at that moment. The first was panic. This was what she had been dreading all day, the confrontation with the one mare she longed for most yet feared to meet more than any other. This was it, the moment where she faced all the wrong she had done months ago. The second was need swelling down bellow, hidden under her dress for the moment. Try as she might, her shaking eyes couldn't help but roam over Applejack's figure. She looked as radiant as she did when Twilight first nuzzled at that warm flank. She drank in the sight, unable to keep from roaming over the heavy swell that now burdened her mare's midsection. It was the fruits of her misdeeds, but Twilight still felt the desire to caress and nuzzle the curve of that belly. To let her lips slowly play over her mare's stretched hide and feel the warmth inside pressed to her cheek. The mix of fear and lust swirling around Twilight's mind came to a sudden halt as Applejack finally found her voice.

"Tw... Twilight... Why... How..." Twilight watched as emotions played over Applejack's face, her features contorting into shock and longing. The farm pony's mind raced as she tried to get a grip on what was happening. Just why had Twilight come here? Had she come to take her away? Was she going to be taken away from her family? Her farm? Her responsibilities? Eventually Applejack's expression shifted, slowly her surprise at seeing the unicorn here gave way to a stern glare of anger. "W-Whut are you doin' here?!"

Twilight winced as she heard the tone of Applejack's voice. It was angry, bitter, and forced out like an apple too big for the juicer. Applejack placed her hooves firmly on the porch, her stance wide, in part to support her growing bulk, but also to lend credence to her anger. Twilight glanced down at the ground in front of her. She had to say something. But what could she say? She wanted to apologize, to take back all the pain she had caused her friend, her perfect mare. But she knew nothing she could say would make things better between them. With a hard swallow to push back the lump in her throat, she lifted her eyes back to the still trembling eyes of her friend.

'Just do what you came here to do, Twilight. Just get through this, and you can go back to your quite library. Back to hiding from what you really want.'

"A-Applejack.. I... I just came here to-"

"To whut? Ap'po'li'jize?" Applejack cut her off, her voice ringing loud and harsh, drawing out the syllables as if each one was a curse she struggled to get through. "Lil' late fer that, ya think? Maybe ya shoulda' done that a'fore ya went 'n got me pregnant!"

That felt like a knife shoved into Twilight's gut. The Princess had said that Applejack was given the choice. To keep Twilight's foal or give it up. But now, to hear her say that. Had she been wrong? Had Applejack changed her mind? She could feel moisture starting to gather in the corners of her eyes.

"Applejack, please.. I.. I just-"

"Just git!"

'Just tell me ta go with ya, Twilight..'

Applejack could feel her resolve starting to crack. She wanted to hear it, wanted to have the responsibility taken away. Wanted to be told she could be that trembling filly again. But she knew she couldn't. She couldn't leave everypony that depended on her. Every pony that expected her to be responsible. To be strong. Just like her Ma was. She knew that, inside the house, listening to every word, Granny Smith was waiting. She knew Granny expected her to be a strong mare. A proper Apple mare. She was sure her brother felt the same. That Applejack had to be the strong one, even now.

But why did she want nothing more than to run off and leave it all behind?

She watched as Twilight's mouth moved slowly, trying to find the words to say, but in the end she just turned, her eyes shut tightly as she started to head back towards the gate and the road back to Ponyville.

"I... I'm sorry.." Twilight's voice was little more than a whisper as she started off. She could feel tears starting to run down her cheeks. Applejack, her sweet mare, hated her. It felt as if Twilight's whole world was torn apart.

"G-go on now, git!" Applejack's voice called out, but it was shaking, wavering as her anger started to fade. She couldn't keep it up any longer. Every hateful word she spouted, they felt like thistles raked across her tongue. She didn't want to say them, but she knew she had to. She had to be strong. "You git now, a'fore Applebloom has ta see ya!"

She watched as Twilight slipped out the gate and headed down the hill, following the timber fence as the road lead back towards Ponyville. Applejack's legs were shaking, her knees loosing their strength as her ears drooped and her head sank. She could hear the soft patter as tears started to splash onto the porch, and feel the trails they left down her cheeks.

------------------------------

Every step she took, it felt like a jolt of pain raced up from her hoof, up her leg and into her chest. Twilight knew there was nothing wrong with her hooves, there was nothing making them hurt. But the pain felt real all the same. At that moment, just the simple act of living seemed to hurt. The one mare she wanted, the one last hope she had for some sort of happiness out of all this, truly hated her. Her eyes never left the road in front of her as she slowly walked away from the farm. She didn't care if she ended up wandering off the wrong path. Inside, she already felt lost.

'This is the end of it all then, isn't it?'

Twilight's mind was the first thing to wander. Some small part of her had hoped that, somehow, this could all have had a happy ending. That, at the very least, she could still have friends. Maybe even get to see her foals grow up, even if they didn't know who their sire was. But now, that was all gone. Everything she had was gone now. First her morality and decency were taken from her. It had cost her her happiness to buy them back, but now her friends, her family, even her will to go on had been taken from her.

'I don't know what to do anymore... Maybe... Maybe I should just leave...'

She thought about that. There really wasn't anything left for her here in Ponyville anymore. At least, that's how it seemed to her. Nothing but painful memories and ponies who used to be her friends. Could she move away and escape the pain? Some place where no pony would know who she was. Where no pony would remember what she had done. Spike could live with Fluttershy, or maybe finally move in with Rarity, like he has always wanted to do. Twilight doubted the princesses would even notice she was gone.

Slowly Twilight lifted her head to look up into the sky, the sun making it's march towards the mountains and the horizon. This could be the last sunset she sees in Ponyville. The last time she looked upon Celestia's sun in the place she used to call home.

'Goodbye, Ponyville.'

Ponyville seemed to cough in her general direction. Or rather, some pony did. It took Twilight a moment to realize it through her melancholy. Looking about, her eyes eventually settled on a particular red stallion.

"Oh! B-Big Mac.." she said, a bit nervously. "It's alright... I... I'll leave. You don't have to trouble yourself..."

Big Macintosh just looked at her with his calm demeanor, his shaded eyes looking her over for a moment before he took a couple steps towards her. As the large stallion drew closer, Twilight could feel a twinge of panic in her chest. She was sure he was upset with her, how could he not after what she had done to his sister? But just how upset was he? Big Macintosh wasn't the violent type, at least, Twilight didn't think he was.

"Twilight." Big Macintosh said simply, nodding his head down the road, gesturing for her to continue on her way. It took Twilight a moment to get the hint. With a nervous first step, her eyes still watching the red Apple stallion, she started back on her course to Ponyville. A moment later, she could see him following her. Or rather, catching up. Soon he was walking right next to her, his eyes intent on the road ahead of him.

Onward they walked together, not a word passing between the two of them. Eventually Twilight's nerves got the best of her, and she found her eyes moving to look over her traveling companion. He looked a bit dirty. He was probably working somewhere in the field just beyond the fence when she passed by. Her eyes slowly trailed down his body, taking in the way the powerful muscles moved just under his hide. Twilight could feel a blush starting to tint her cheeks. He was, in every way, a sublime figure of power and strength.

She knew she shouldn't be thinking about him that way. He was, after all, Applejack's older brother. But she couldn't help herself. Twilight had found herself thinking many things she would never have considered before, at least not before she had ruined her life. Despite it all, it gave her some slight comfort. That she could still think of a stallion in that way. As strange as it might seem, it was comforting to Twilight that she was still, in some way, a mare. Eventually, the silence had become unbearable for her. She looked back up to Big Macintosh's eyes, her lips moving for a moment as she searched for what to say.

"Big Mac... I... I'm sorry... I just wanted.."

"Twi?"

Big Macintosh turned to look at her as they both continued walking, cutting short Twilight's apology. She looked away, a bit embarrassed and more than a little frightened. This was it, she was going to get yelled at by him as well, wasn't she?

"Twilight, ah wanted to talk to ya. Been meaning to ask ya something." Big Macintosh said as he turned to look ahead once again. Twilight was taken aback by this, this was not what she was expecting at all.

"Um.. O-Ok.. What did you want to ask?" She said, still a bit nervous as she looked back up to the large stallion. Big Macintosh wasn't one for conversation usually. He was a pony of few words, but Twilight took note of how calm and level his voice was. He was also quite well spoken, which surprised the unicorn, having been used to Applejack rather thick drawl.

"Ah wanted to ask, just what did ya do to my sister back in the orchard that night?"

Twilight could feel her cheeks turning as red as Big Macintosh's coat as she heard that. The memory of that fateful night flooding back to her suddenly, making her tremble, partly from fear, partly from arousal. She looked away, too embarrassed to look her former friend's brother in the eye now.

"I... I thought you knew.." She said, her voice just above a whisper as she could feel her cheeks burning. "Didn't the princess explain it to you?"

Big Macintosh nodded slowly, glancing over to the embarrassed unicorn. He knew everything that had happened, Princess Luna had made sure to explain just why Twilight had been acting so crazy those months ago. She had wanted to make sure that none of Applejack's family tried to take matters into their own hooves. To try and allow Twilight to get on with her life. But that wasn't what the stallion was wanting to know. It still didn't explain everything for him.

"Eeyup. She told me ya had been cursed. Gone all crazy in the head, and all stallion in the loins." That just made Twilight's blush deepen. Though it shouldn't have surprised her that Big Macintosh would know about that. After all, his sister was now pregnant, and it was pretty obvious who the father was. But to hear it described like that, it seemed so simple, and so embarrassing. "But that's not what ah meant. Ya'll did something to my sister, and now she ain't acting like her old self no more."

Twilight stopped in her tracks, her head hanging low as her eyes drooped. Big Macintosh continued ahead for a couple more steps before stopping and turning to look at the sullen unicorn.

"I... I'm sorry, Big Mac." Twilight sighed, taking a deep breath as she closed her eyes. She could feel tears starting to form again. "I.. I hurt her. I'm truly sorry.."

Big Macintosh just looked at her, a slight tilt to his head. The pain Twilight was feeling was plane for him to see. If anything, he thought, Twilight seemed more hurt than his sister did. Slowly he chewed at the sprig of straw in his mouth before simply shaking his head.

"Nope. Ah don't recogn that's it, Twi." Twilight's eyes slowly lifted as she heard that, looking up to the stallion with confusion. "Ya'll didn't see her that night. Or every night since. She ain't been acting hurt. She's been acting like she wants something."

"Big Mac... I.. I don't understand." He didn't seem to be making any sense. Of course Applejack was hurt. She sure sounded like she was, didn't she?

"Ah think ya know what it is she's been wanting, Twi."

"N-no.. You're wrong..." Twilight shook her head, her voice trembling. "She... She didn't even want to see me.. She hates me. She... She sounded so angry.."

Big Macintosh shook his head again, flipping his straw from one side of his mouth to the other as he turned and continued down the road. Twilight watched him go for a moment, her mind turning over what she had just heard. Applejack sounded furious. Sounded so hateful. But Big Macintosh, her brother, he was saying she was wrong. Could he be mistaken? Could there be something more to this? Her hooves kicking up a small cloud of dust, Twilight raced to catch up to the big Apple stallion.

"She ain't angry, Twilight." Big Macintosh glanced to his side as the unicorn caught up to him. "She's hurt, but not like ya think."

"But... But what she said.." Twilight gasped softly, looking up to Big Macintosh. Her eyes were wide, and just a big hopeful. "She.. She wouldn't lie.. Applejack's too honest to lie, even about that."

"Eeyup. She's honest." Big Macintosh said, sighing a bit as he continued down the road. "Honest with every pony. Every pony, 'cept herself..."

Twilight could do little more than stare at Big Macintosh. Could he actually be serious about that? Applejack, the most honest pony she knew, had been lying to herself? After a few moments, he continued, nodding his head slightly.

"Ya'll didn't see her after that night, but Ah did. Ah hear her every night in bed, crying for somepony. Every morning, lookin' like a lost puppy." He turned to look at Twilight, and their eyes met. He could see how confused she was, how what she was hearing was clashing with what she had thought she knew. Twilight could see the honesty in Big Macintosh's eyes, but also the concern. He was worried for Applejack, and this was how he intended to help her.

"But... But why? If... If you're right, why did she say those things?" Twilight had to take a deep breath, forcing back the emotions as she thought about Applejack's words. "Why did she sound so angry?"

"Cause she's an Apple mare. Just how every pony expects her to be." Big Macintosh said. He looked off ahead of them, Ponyville was coming into view now over the hill. "Every pony depends on Applejack to be strong. Just like Ma was. She'll put everything aside, even what she wants more than anything, all for other ponies."

"So... So what should I do?" Twilight's voice was hopeful. If it was true, if everything she thought was wrong, she may just have a reason to go on with her live here in Ponyville.

"Ah think ya know what ya need to do, Twilight." He said as they crested the hill. Down ahead of them, was Ponyville. It's shops and homes beckoning to the two ponies. They both stopped at the top of the hill, Twilight looking up to the taller stallion with wide eyes. Slowly, those eyes lowered.

"I... I c-can't.."

With a great sigh, Big Macintosh sad there in the road, shaking his head.

"Twilight... Ya'll know that's not true."

"I just cant, Big Mac!" Twilight winced as her voice almost rose to a shout. After a moment she spoke again, this time little more than a whisper. "I... I can't risk hurting her again."

"Twi..." Big Macintosh leaned forwards, looking intently to the unicorn. "What makes ya think ya'll would hurt AJ?"

"I... I just know.." She said, hanging her head as she squirmed a bit, sitting down to try and calm herself. "I... I can feel it... I can feel that I want to.."

Slowly Big Macintosh reached a large hoof out, placing it gently on Twilight's shoulder. That brought her head up again, looking up into the gentle face of the large stallion.

"Twi, just what is it you're feeling?" He said in his deep, gentle voice. Twilight chewed the inside of her lip as she considered that. Just what was she feeling? She had been afraid to consider such things. Every longing she had, every desire that started to rise, she had been afraid of them. Too afraid to consider just what it was she wanted so badly.

"I... I'm not sure." She said. She closed her eyes, a slight tremble running up Twilight back as she thought about how she felt. How every moment she could feel that something was missing. That something she wanted was gone. "I feel... Feel that I want something. I want her.. But I don't want to hurt her. I don't want to take that risk."

A slight whimper left Twilight's throat as she closed her eyes tightly. She was scared. Scared of what she might do if she let her wants and needs get the better of her. She could feel Big Macintosh's hoof, it was gently rubbing at her shoulder.

"Twilight, do ya get that feeling when ya look at other mares too?" Twilight nodded slowly to his words, her eyes still closed. He was right, she did get those feelings for other mares. They were nowhere near as strong, but they were there. She would feel a warmth in her chest, and a slight throb deep in her sheath. Feel her pace quicken slightly and her mouth grow moist. "Do ya feel all hot, and get all squirmy and such 'tween ya legs?"

Again Twilight nodded, as if Big Macintosh was reading her memories, her thoughts. Slowly she let her eyes open, greeted by the sly smile curling the big stallion's lips.

"How... How did you?" Twilight started to ask, puzzled that Big Macintosh could know exactly how she felt. But the big Apple stallion just chuckled, his hoof still on her shoulder, rocking the smaller unicorn slightly.

"Twilight," Big Macintosh said, still grinning happily to her. "Ya'll just one of the boys." He said with a little wink to the unicorn, letting his hoof slip from her shoulder.

"Wait... You mean?" Big Macintosh nodded to Twilight's question, and it all started to seem much clearer to her now. These feelings, these urges. They had been strange and frightening to her. Strange and frightening because they were the urges and feelings of a stallion! They had been the same urges she had felt when the 'blessing' had taken control of her, but they had been more intense, more overpowering. But now, they were no different than any other stallion's. For the first time in a long while, Twilight felt more sure of herself. And, funny enough, she felt a bit more respect for Big Macintosh now.

"Ya'll figure them out. Every colt does. Just takes time." The big stallion said, still smiling pleasantly to her. Twilight couldn't help but blush a bit at that. Big Macintosh did have a point. If anything, now that she considered it, she was quite a bit like a young colt now. And like many colts, she had let her confusing and unfamiliar feelings get away from her.

"Th-thanks..." Twilight said softly, her cheeks starting to redden again from embarrassment. To think, all her difficulties, all her worries, they all boiled down to something so simple. Something that so many young ponies go through every day. Right then Twilight felt like a total foal. All her fears were over a simple fact of growing up. Well, not quite all her fears, but a good portion of them. She looked over as Big Macintosh stood up, turning to head back to Sweet Apple Acres. He looked back over his shoulder to Twilight, nodding his head towards Ponyville.

"Ya'll be just fine. Go on home now and think things over." He said before starting back the way they had came. Twilight sat there and watched him go for a while. He was right. She had grown up a filly. Gone through the changes and feelings that a filly goes through as she gets older. But now, she had to grow up as a colt as well. The strange urges, the confusing feelings. Every colt grew up learning how to deal with them. But now, she had to learn how to work them into her adult life as a mare. Or rather, as a stallion and a mare. Twilight had a feeling her life was going to be much more complicated than it had ever been. But even so, now that she knew what it was she was feeling, knew that it could be dealt with, she had hope. And hope could be all that she needed. At least, all she needed to see herself through.

With a sigh, feeling a bit lighter than before, she turned back towards Ponyville. As she looked down the hill towards her home, a shadow passed over her, there and gone in a moment. Looking to the sky, she could see a small, dark shape moving against the orange glow of the afternoon sun. A pegasus heading from Ponyville, in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres. Wondering what the pony could be off to do, Twilight made her way back into town.

------------------------------

The walk into town had given Twilight some much needed time to reflect on things. For the past three months, she had been living with a constant dark cloud hanging above her head. But now, it felt as if at least part of that cloud had been blown away. It seemed so simple when she thought about it now, after having Big Macintosh explain things to her in that simple logic he seemed to be so adept at. This whole time, she had been looking at her 'condition' from the perspective of a mare. A mare wholly unprepared for such things. But now, she knew she had to take a look from a quite different perspective.

She was a colt now. A young colt, at least in part. She had to start looking at her problems from a colt's perspective. As she made her way through town, she couldn't help but blush a bit. She was a very well endowed colt, which probably just made her problems that much worse. With a little giggle, she wondered if she'd start taking an interest in sports and getting dirty all the time.

"Hmmm... Nah, hehe!"

Twilight giggled. It was probably the first time she had made the sound in weeks. It felt good. It felt as if her spirit was freed of a heavy weight that had been pulling it down for so long. She let the happy feeling flow over her, letting it ebb to and fro slowly till it faded on it's own. As her pleasantness started to lessen, she took the moment to look at things more seriously. She still had problems she had to face. Her life wasn't back to normal just yet, and it probably would never be. But now she could feel a bit better about herself. For the first time in ages, she was sure she wasn't some monster. That she wouldn't be a danger to her friends. Now, she just had to convince them of that fact.

She glanced back along her flank as she made her way around the outskirts of town. The library was across town from the road leading to Sweet Apple Acres, and she wanted to make sure her dress was still doing it's job of keeping her covered. With a little sigh she flicked her tail, ruffling the fabric with it a bit to make sure it hadn't bunched up or become stuck in any reveling way. Despite her new-found outlook, she still didn't feel comfortable with walking around town exposed. She wondered if any stallions ever feel this way about being uncovered. With a sigh, she guessed that it was just something natural for them, being born that way. Twilight still wasn't that used to the idea of having extra parts. But it wasn't just her embarrassment that kept her wanting to cover up. It was the fear of another pony seeing her like that, then connecting her 'condition' to what had happened three months ago. With another flick of her tail to make sure, she made her way down the street.

Twilight's mind wandered back to her friends. She still had thoughts about them, thoughts she probably shouldn't have. But they were still her friends, at least most of them were. They were important to her in ways besides as mares. And she wanted to have them back, more than anything. Well, almost anything. She knew Pinkie wouldn't hold anything against her. Honestly, she doubted that pony could hold a grudge about anything. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy probably wouldn't have any problem with her, though she knew that Fluttershy would probably still be nervous around her. But then, Fluttershy was nervous around everything at first. Twilight had to shake her head, her mind wanting to bring up rather inappropriate thoughts about how cute the yellow pegasus looked when she was frightened. With a sigh, she brought a hoof up to her head, rubbing at a temple. She was still having trouble with thinking about her friends in ways she shouldn't. But at the very least, now she knew her thoughts weren't dangerous. She was just thinking like a colt. A very horny, hormonal colt, but still just a colt.

But Twilight knew that fact wouldn't help smooth things over with two of her former friends. At least, she knew one of the two wouldn't care that she had found a new way to deal with her strange new feelings. With a sigh, Twilight turned a corner, heading back out towards the edge of Ponyville. It was actually quicker to go around town to the library, rather than weaving through streets and back allies to get back home. She knew Rarity wouldn't even give her the chance to explain herself. And just how could she explain what she had done? If anything, Twilight knew there was nothing she could do that would make Rarity forgive her for what had been done to her sister. But Applejack, perhaps there was some way things could be patched up between them. Big Macintosh had given her some small hope that Applejack didn't really hate her. It seemed crazy, but then crazy seemed to be in season lately.

"I guess... Maybe it'll just take some time..."

Twilight said to herself softly as she made her way around town. Up ahead, she could see the local schoolhouse. School had long since let out for the day, though one might not think that to look at the little red building. A small crowd of ponies had gathered outside for some reason. Twilight tried to think, she didn't remember hearing about any sort of after school event going on today. She watched the crowd milling about for a few moments. She really should head home, though it was nice to be outside after so long, she still knew that the longer she was out, the greater the chance of some pony noticing what she was trying to hide. But there had to be some reason for so many ponies to be gathered out in front of the school. Perhaps she could risk it. Just get close enough to find out what all the fuss was about. Eventually her curiosity won out over her caution, and the purple unicorn quietly made her way closer to the gathered crowd.

Her hoof steps light and careful, Twilight slowly drew closer to the ponies milling about outside of the schoolhouse. She could hear them mumbling amongst themselves, their voices too hushed for her to really make out what was going on. The crowd was pressed close, too close for her to see between them at what was just so interesting, and Twilight started to realize just how many ponies were gathered here. It certainly wasn't the entire town, but Twilight guessed that it was most of them. Slowly she made her way around the outside of the crowd, all the while her ears perked, trying to pick up some conversation or see just what it was that had drawn so many ponies.

"Didn't you hear what happened?"

She didn't recognize the voice, but Twilight heard it clear all the same. She looked about, it hadn't come from the crowd, but rather two ponies standing off to the side. The two young mares were dressed, though more for fashion than purpose, like Twilight. One shook her head to the other.

"No. What's going on?"

Twilight quietly made her way closer, stepping close to some bushes, trying to make it not so obvious she was attempting to listen in on the conversation.

"Really? Well, from what I hear, the school teacher attacked two of her students!"

"No! W-what happened?"

That made Twilight stop in mid step. Twilight knew Miss Cheerilee. She had always considered herself friends with the teacher, seeing as they both had an interest in academia. Twilight found it hard to believe that Cheerilee would ever hurt one of her students. That is, unless...

"Well, I heard she assaulted them... Sexually." The one pony nodded to her friend's shocked expression. She continued, "Even heard she got some perverted unicorn to cast a spell on herself. Made her like a stallion and everything."

"G-geeze... Who'd be sick enough to do something like that?"

The two mares continued to gossip about what had happened, but Twilight couldn't hear them. She was too busy trying to keep her panic from sending her screaming from the scene. This was bad. No, this was very bad. Now there was another pony out there attacking mares? Not just any pony, and not just any mares. If what she heard was true, then Cheerilee was attacking foals. Raping foals! Right at that moment, Twilight's positive outlook turned very negative indeed. How could this be happening? Luna had made sure the curse was gone, didn't she? If so, then how did this happen? Was there really some unicorn out there casting spells to turn other ponies into rapists? Would anypony suspect her? Would they connect this to what Twilight had done three months ago?

Twilight could feel her hooves fidgeting on their own, the urge to flee growing stronger as she glanced about at all the other ponies. None of them were paying much attention to her, but that didn't stop her imagination from running away with her. Twilight could picture the ponies in the crowd, her name passed amongst them as the one responsible for what had just happened. All that seemed to be missing were the pitchforks and torches. She could feel her heart starting to pound and her breaths growing quicker and quicker.

'Just... Just calm down, Twilight.' She thought to herself, trying to ease her frantic breathing. 'There's nothing to worry about. There's no way any pony could know. None of them could ever suspect you of being involved with this.'

"Hey, Twilight! I was just-"

"GHAA!"

With a panicked cry, Twilight took off. Her dress fluttering about her hips as she raced down the street, making a beeline for the library. She didn't even bother to look back and see who it was that had called out to her.

Rainbow Dash just looked after the fleeing unicorn, perplexed as she watched Twilight disappear behind the buildings further into town. Just what had gotten her so worked up?

"Um... Ok.." The pegasus said as she looked around for a moment. With a shrug she reached back, nuzzling under her wing at the rolled up paper tucked securely there.

"Well, it's not like I really need Twilight's help." She said as she pulled the paper out and unrolled it, the flyer sporting a winged lightning bolt, emblazoned over top a large, ornate compass symbol. "Heh, I know all the book good enough anyway. I got this contest in the bag!"

With a smug grin, the rainbow pegasus rolled the flyer up again, slipping it back under her wing as she headed back into town.

------------------------------

The little bell rang out clearly and softly, it's delicate chime announcing little more than the opening of a door.

"Please, come again! We are always open!"

The pink mare said with a smile, her azure eyes twinkling as she held the door open for her two customers to step outside. As the two mares made their way out of the spa, Lotus gave a relaxed sigh. Letting the door closed, she reached up and pulled down at the shade with her teeth. A little push of her hoof and the door's lock closed soundly.

'Always open, except when it iz closing time!'

She thought with a little giggle. It was always a pleasure to have such delightful customers, but the spa pony always looked forward to the end of the day. Most ponies had no idea how hard it was to make sure that every pony who came through the spa had a wonderful, relaxing experience. More often than not, while the customers relaxed, those ponies working at the spa became more tense and exhausted. But now, Lotus could forget about all that, and worry about her own relaxation. That is, if she didn't hear the muffled dragging sound coming from behind her.

With a sigh, Lotus looked over her shoulder. Her sister was still busy, dragging a towel, which she had piled with more towels, across the front room and towards the laundry. As Aloe continued to work, Lotus looked her over for a moment. Her coat was as blue as her own mane, and Aloe's mane matched almost perfectly her own coat. Anypony who saw the sisters could instantly tell they were twins. And Lotus loved her sister very dearly. She just wished she would listen when she told her something.

"I told joo not to overwork jor self!" Lotus said with a frustrated sigh as she trotted over, moving to nudge her sister away from the towels. As she gently bumped against her, Lotus could feel the new bulk around Aloe's middle. It brought a slight blush to both their cheeks, the gentle contact between the two sisters. Aloe had been putting on weight, which was to be expected. Lotus didn't like to think about how she ended up that way, but the way that Aloe almost seemed to glow at time, the way her smile seemed to have that added sparkle. She didn't think she'd want her sister to be any other way. "Joo have ta be careful now."

"I know... I just vanted to finish dis." Aloe said with a sigh, eventually letting her sister take over the laundry. She made her way over to one of the couches set up for ponies waiting to use one of the baths. With a little groan, she stretched herself out onto it, gingerly settling her belly down onto the soft cushions. She wasn't very heavy yet, not too far along, but already her foal was starting to take it's toll on her. Her hooves would ache a lot, and the added weight was already starting to make things difficult for her around the spa. Aloe looked over to her sister, watching as Lotus hefted the pile of dirty towels up onto her back and started towards the laundry room. "Joo don't have ta do dat... Just let me rest a bit."

"Joo do too much already, Aloe."

"Ja, I know but..."

"I'm heading home now!"

Aloe's reply was cut short as a voice called to her. Looking back to the front room, she saw her cousin, Vera, her saddle bags already across her back. The cream coated mare had been such a help when the twins had first moved to Ponyville. Even in a place as friendly as this, it could be hard starting out when a pony comes from so far away. But Vera had been there through it all, helping to get the sisters settled in and starting up the spa. She was always there for the twins, even now.

"Joo be careful! See joo tomorrow!" Aloe said from the couch, waving a hoof as her cousin unlocked the front door and slipped out. With a little sigh Aloe lifted herself up from where she was lounging, going over to re-lock the door. Now her and Lotus were really alone in the spa. But she didn't mind. With a little smile, she thought to what the night still had ahead for them. All day she and her sister had devoted themselves to treating other ponies with delicate care. But now, it was their chance to do the same for each other.

"Are joo ever going ta tell me?"

Aloe looked back over her shoulder, Lotus had returned from placing the towels in the laundry. With a little shake to her head, she turned around. Her sister had been asking the same thing ever since that night. Ever since Aloe had let slip her suspicions.

"I told joo, I am not going ta tell joo who it vas." Lotus gave her a frustrated look, but Aloe was firm in her conviction. Every night that voice had repeated itself in Aloe's mind. Eventually a face came to match the voice. But she wouldn't tell her sister. She knew Lotus was just worried for her, but there was something else. Aloe didn't know if her sister would be foalish enough to try anything if she knew who it was. Who had 'fathered' her foal. She didn't want to risk seeing her sister doing something she'd regret. And she didn't want to have to explain it to her child.

Lotus looked down, her eyes angry for a moment, till she felt a hoof on her shoulder. She looked up to see Aloe's smiling face, and her mood softened instantly. Those bright eyes, those tender cheeks. Motherhood seemed to be blooming on her sister, and it quickly sapped any anger from Lotus's mind.

"Just... Just tell me, vhen joo are ready..." She said quietly as Aloe's hoof rubbed gently at her shoulder. With a little giggle, she reached up, taking her sister's hoof in her own. Lotus returned her sister's smile, moving to press herself gently to Aloe's side. "Come on, vee should get started."

Aloe's cheeks reddened just a touch, leaning gently against her sister as she was helped towards one of the baths towards the back of the building. The twin sisters often enjoyed a soothing bath together at the end of the day. It let them slowly unwind and forget about the aches they had accumulated over the course of their work. And Aloe had been accumulating more aches than usual lately.

Together the two sisters walked to the back of their spa, into one of the private rooms that they kept for ponies to reserve private baths. It wasn't very large, not like the other baths where every pony was welcomed. This one was just for the more intimate baths, where two ponies could be alone if they wished. It was something the twins didn't like to advertise openly, but something they still did because it always brought them such warm feelings to know they could help, in some small way, two ponies who cared so much for each other.

Little wisps of steam slowly drifted up from the bath, rising from the warm waters as Aloe and Lotus drew closer. It had been a slow day today, and this particular bath hadn't been used. Aloe told herself it would be a waste to let it go unused, after all the work they had put into getting it ready. As her sister stepped up to the round tub, dipping her hoof into the water to test the temperature, Aloe's cheeks turned a bit pinker than usual.

"I... I need to use the little filly's room, first."

Lotus looked over to her, a small giggle escaping past her lips.

"Ja. I'll vait for joo here, ok?"

With a nod, Aloe turned to slip into the little dressing room off to the side, looking back as Lotus started to remove her hairband and collar. The dressing room was a bit of extra privacy, there for when ponies needed to relieve themselves, and for those of their customers who preferred the feel of soft robes, so that they may dress in peace. It was roomy, space enough for two or three ponies to dress in, with little cubbie holes for robes or towels, and a small restroom. Quietly shutting the door behind her, Aloe went about her business. Finishing, Aloe stopped on her way to rejoin her sister. A full length mirror was hung in the dressing room, for the more appearance-minded ponies to look themselves over. Her cheeks still reddened, she regarded herself.

Many stallions and mares had told her she was attractive, but Aloe herself had never considered herself much to look at. Those other ponies may be right, but she still thought herself plain. Slowly she reached a hoof up, brushing her own hairband away, letting her long blue mane flow freely over her shoulders. Her collar was next, the little bit of fashion the sisters considered their work uniforms. In the mirror, she saw the plain pony looking back at her.

The fat, plain pony, she thought. But she knew it wasn't fat that made her middle bulge. Slowly she sat down, lifting her shoulders a bit to get a better view of the bulge that was pushing her belly out slightly. A tender smile curling her lips as she reached her hoof down, slowly tracing a circle over her tummy. She had never thought this would happen to her. That she would ever consider becoming a mother. Despite all the problems it was causing her, all the difficulties, she loved the idea. Even how it had happened, how frightening it was, it didn't change the fact that there was a little pony growing inside her. A pony she knew she loved with her whole heart.

Aloe knew that Lotus loved her foal as well, even if she was sometimes upset with how it came to be. She sighed softly, thinking about what had happen. About the pony who got her pregnant. About that mare. It sounded silly, even to think about it, but she was sure that was what happened. That mare didn't deserve her anger, she knew that. The Princess had explained to her what had happened. That the pony who attacked her couldn't control themselves. In a way it was sad, to think that her foal could be born without a father. Luna hadn't told her who the pony was, but then she didn't need to. Aloe had known. Not at first, but eventually it became clear. She had even seen her. That mare would go out at times, for a while. She would sneak about, camera hung around her neck. Aloe had seen her, and in some way, she knew what the mare was doing. She had even posed, trying to look oblivious of course, as her picture was taken. That was what truly seemed sad to Aloe. The look in that mare's eyes. The longing, the loss, the regret.

With a sigh, Aloe looked up from her belly. She wanted to help, to find some way to comfort that mare, the one that gave her her foal. But she worried. That it would just bring up too many regrets, that she would just end up making her feel worse in the end. But at the very least, she could make sure the mare's foal was happy, it was the least she could do. With a little smile she decided that she had kept Lotus waiting long enough. With a little grunt she moved to stand again, only to find her back legs didn't obey her command.

Perplexed, she looked down at herself again. Another attempt to stand was met with the same results. Panic started to take hold as her eyes grew wide. Her pregnancy shouldn't be giving her any problems like this, especially not with as far along as she was. Her breaths quickening, she tried to lift herself up again, to pull herself towards the dressing room door. Her hoof slipped on the smooth tiled floor, sending her sprawling as she found her left foreleg wouldn't work either.

This wasn't good, this was bad. Her mind started to race, trying to figure out what was wrong with her. Was she having a miscarriage? That thought just made her panic even more. The idea that she might loose her foal, that she'd fail in her promise to that lonely mare.

"L-Lotus... Help..."

She gasped, trying to call for help, but only a strained whisper escaped her lips. Her mouth felt dry, her tongue going numb as slowly darkness started to creep into the edges of her vision. And then, oblivion.

------------------------------

A soft gasp brought Aloe back to the waking world. Her mouth was dry and she felt rather hot. Blinking to clear her vision, she looked around, finding herself still on the floor of the dressing room. Just what had happened to her? She never was prone to fainting before. Was it her pregnancy? She knew some mares had problems with their blood pressure while they were with foal. Should she go see the doctor?

With a groan, she found that her limbs once again did as she asked, slowly starting to lift her up from the tiled floor. Her tongue licked at her lips, trying to get the dryness from her mouth. She could already feel sweat starting to form on her brow. It was warm, of course, being a spa and all. But she was used to the comfortable warmth, she shouldn't be sweating like this.

"Are joo coming or not?"

Lotus called to her from the tub, she had only been out for a few moments. With a groan, Aloe pushed herself up, looking from the floor to the mirror in front of her. Then she sat back down suddenly, instantly regretting it as a painful groan slipped from her lips. Still wincing she looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't have seen what she thought she just seen. Could she?

Slowly she started to stand up again, her eyes glued to the mirror. Trembling as she watched what was hidden under her slowly being revealed. Under herself, just past the soft swell of her belly, she saw it. The plump, pink sheath and heavy testes. With a gasp she turned from the mirror, looking back over her shoulder to see if it was just a trick of the light. Sure enough, from behind she could see the two plump orbs hanging between her thighs.

Panic started to grip Aloe again as she turned to the side, lifting a leg to look at her newest addition.

"This... This iz impossible!" She gasped softly, shifting her weight a bit to see how her sheath rolled and her sack bounced against her thighs. That sent a shiver running up her spine, a delightful tremble at the new sensations. This couldn't be real, could it? There was no way she could suddenly be a stallion. She was a mare for sure. She was with foal, after all. That brought a new panic to her. Quickly she reached under herself with a hoof, gingerly pressing to her belly. A wave of relief washed over her. She could feel it, still deep inside her. Her foal was still safe. But it did little to end her confusion. She was a mare with a penis now. "I... I can't be.. Not like.."

"Aloe? Are joo alright in dere?"

Lotus sounded a bit worried, but Aloe couldn't pull her eyes from the sight of her plump sheath. In some strange way, this made sense. That night, that mare. Slowly she reached a hoof down, pressing softly at her sheath. Aloe had to bite her lip as she felt that contact, a groan threatening to escape. That must have been how she felt. How that mare felt that night, feeling through this strange, new appendage.

"I... I'll be right out!"

She said between hot breaths. Aloe watched as her sheath swelled slightly, the pink and grey speckled tip of her member starting to push free. She could feel it swelling, blood rushing to her length as it started to grow. Her pulse quickened as she watched. This must have been how it happened. How that mare had lost control of herself. Why she had gone out that night. Why she did those things to her. Such wonderful things. Another tremble ran up Aloe's back as memories came back to her. How it felt that night, to have something like that inside her, forcing it's way into her core. How would it feel to be the one doing that instead? To feel the warmth deep inside another mare. To make a foal inside her belly...

Aloe could feel her chest tighten, the heat in the room getting worse as she thought about that. Thought about her sister. She was so sweet, so caring. Aloe loved Lotus, deeply. How tender would she be? How warm and soft? She was so loving, taking care of her now that Aloe was pregnant. She'd be just as tender to her own foal. A foal who could grow up with Aloe's own.

'N-no! Vhat am I thinking? I... I can't do dat to Lotus.. She... She..' Aloe shook her head, trying to push back those thoughts. Thoughts about her sister squirming and crying out in bliss. About her sister's belly growing to match her own. About their two foals being one big, loving family. Another tremble ran up her body, forcing a groan from her lips. She took a deep breath. She couldn't do that. 'I... I need help..'

Slowly Aloe stepped to the dressing room door. She would go out, she'd keep her distance, and ask Lotus to get help for her. The doctor, the nurse, anypony who could help her control these thoughts. These urges. She didn't want to hurt her sister. But would she really be hurting her? Aloe didn't regret what had happened to her that night. Why would her sister?

'I.. I just have to keep calm.. I can do dis.. Just.. Just tell her joo need help. Tell her to get out of zee room.. Tell her before.. Before..'

As her mind tried to keep itself focused on anything but those urges, her body had gone on autopilot. As her eyes focused once again, she found herself standing right behind Lotus, her sister sitting back in the tub. Aloe was standing on the little platform encircling the hot tub, looking down as Lotus turned to smile up at her. Those deep, azure eyes. That wet, pink mane draping over her shoulders. Aloe could feel herself swelling, growing against her swollen belly.

"Der joo are!" Lotus giggled, smiling at the sight of her sister. The angle kept her from seeing under her sister's body, that new, eager shaft hidden from view. With a little grin, she gently splashed at the steaming water with a hoof, looking up to her sister with a 'come hither' look. Lotus meant it as innocent teasing. Little did she know just how literal Aloe would take the gesture. "Coming in?"

Aloe wanted to say something. To tell her sister to get away, to go get help. But her mouth just moved silently, words escaping her as her eyes drank in her sister's face. Slowly she nodded in answer to her sister's question, her hooves slowly starting to dip into the warm water, feeling the soothing heat reaching up her limbs as she sank into the hot tub. With each step, she could feel tension and stress leaving her body, flowing from her into the water. Her panic flowed away along with her stress, the soothing warmth freeing her worried mind. As her hindquarters sank into the tub, a delighted groan escaped her lips. That warm water, she could feel it nearly caressing her new, tender length. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. Warm, wet, and stimulating. The heat of the hot tub brought her to her full length, and Aloe could feel herself throbbing under the water.

"L-Lotus.. I.. "

"Hmmm?" Lotus turned to look at her, watching as Aloe licked at her lips, breathing deeply. The warm steam filled Aloe's lungs, but she could smell something lingering in the air. The scent of the burning candles around the room did little to mask it. If anything, they made this thick, musky scent even stronger, even more tantalizing. Her sister and her had selected the candles for their ability to put ponies into a romantic mood. And now, she knew why. Each breath she took, she inhaled her sister's scent. The scent of a tender, sweet mare. It drew her closer, gently urging Aloe through the warm, flowing waters towards her sister. "Iz der something joo vanted to say, Aloe?"

She couldn't believe what she was doing. It was crazy, it was wrong. But she couldn't stop herself, the need to be close too great. Her sister, Aloe couldn't keep her eyes from roaming over the pony sitting back in front of her. She looked sublime, as if Lotus was waiting for her. Close she came, her lips moving as she tried one last time to warn her. To tell her she couldn't stop.

"I... I..."

That was all she could manage to get out. It was her last chance, her lips could utter no more words, they had pressed hard against her sister's. Lotus squeaked in surprise as Aloe pressed to her. It didn't alarm her, she and Aloe had always been very close, very affectionate, even for sisters. But there was something else to this kiss. As she felt Aloe's lips press to her's, pushing them open, she could feel it. There was a hunger behind this kiss.

Aloe was in heaven. The feel, the taste, her sister's sweet lips against her own. A groan welled up in her throat, pushing her tongue from her mouth and into Lotus's. She could feel her sister stiffen as that little muscle slipped it's way into her mouth. Slowly it caressed, running against Lotus's teeth for a moment before finding her sister's tongue. Aloe pressed to it, curling to hold it tenderly as she pushed her body against her sisters, pressing her against the wall of the hot tub.

"I... I'm sorry..."

Her words were little more than a lusty groan as Aloe broke the kiss. Lotus just looked at her, panting hotly with wide eyes. There was something wrong with her sister. Lotus squirmed slightly, trapped between the wall of the tub and her sister's body. She could feel Aloe's warm figure against her, that rounded belly. But there was something else. Something that shouldn't be there.

"A-Aloe.. Vha... Vhat iz dat?" Lotus gasped softly, trying to squirm back to see what was trapped between their bodies. But Aloe did not give her the chance, she pulled back a bit, her hooves till pressed to Lotus's shoulders, holding her in place as her hips gave a slight squirm, then a sudden, hard buck forwards. Then she felt it. The warm, throbbing tip pushing against her, pressing urgently to her folds. Her sister gave another thrust, and Lotus was open, stretching suddenly, feeling a bit of the warm water slipping inside, pushed by her sister's new cocktip. "A-Aloe!"

"Yes!"

Aloe tilted her head back, a deep groan of satisfaction leaving her throat as she felt it. The warmth, the tightness, this was what she wanted. This was what she needed. The feel of her sister's tenderness around her. Another thrust and more of her length slipped into the warm body, gliding through the water right into Lotus's straining sex. She knew she shouldn't, she knew her sister might hate her for this, but she didn't care. Her body knew what it wanted. And that was to make her sister a mother too. She pressed close, pushing her hips against Lotus's own, feeling their bodied meet, joining under the water as Lotus trembled, panting hotly in her grip.

This shouldn't be happening. Her sister couldn't be doing this, but it was happening all the same. Lotus could feel it inside her, throbbing, pulsing. Her sister's flesh deep in her body. Slowly Aloe pulled back, sliding out, leaving Lotus's strained passage empty. It almost ached, feeling that warm slipping out, leaving her hollow before another buck filled her again. Lotus bit at her lip, trying desperately to keep a groan from escaping. Her sister was inside her. Raping her. She shouldn't enjoy this. Or should she?

Slowly Lotus's eyes moved to her sister's face. Aloe's eyes were lost in bliss, reveling in the feeling, the warmth. With a tremble, Lotus could feel Aloe throb inside her, a pulse sending a warm dollop of pre deep inside her. The thick mess easing the passage slightly, coating her straining walls as that thick tip slid out, pushing at her tenderness. She felt Aloe's thick tip pull at her sex, her mound bulging before her hips pushed, and that length rushed into her again.

She couldn't stop it this time, the lusty groan that escaped as her head tilted back, the jolt like lightning that raced up her spine. Her eyes and lips wide, Lotus came down, her forelegs wrapping about Aloe's shoulders, breath shuddering as she clung to her sister.

"A-Aloe..." Lotus gasped.

"I... I am sorry.. " Lotus heard her sister's words, blinking for a moment as they rang in her ears. She trembled softly, holding tighter to Aloe's thrusting form. A whimper slipping out as she felt Aloe pull back for another thrust, forcing another gasp out of her. Deep inside she could feel the pressure starting to build, each thrust made her insides tremble. Made her shake as she squeezed and suckled at Aloe's plunging member. "I... I can't s-stop.."

Lotus shook her head, squeezing her eyes shut tightly as she clung to Aloe, her hips starting to buck. As Aloe thrusted upwards, Lotus pushed down to meet her. Their hips crashing into each other, making waves in the steaming water. Her sister had forced this to start, but now, Lotus wasn't she she wanted it to end.

"Keep... K-Keep going..."

Aloe gasped, hearing her sister's drawn out words. They continued, building into a sultry moan as Lotus pushed eagerly against her. Aloe couldn't believe it. She couldn't stop herself, couldn't keep herself from doing this to her sister. But now, Lotus wanted this. Wanted to feel her sister. To feel Aloe deep inside. She pulled back, looking deep into Lotus's eyes. Slowly, as one, their bodies still grinding against each other, their eyes closed and their lips met. This time, both sisters could feel the other's hunger. Tongues entwining with passion as they held each other.

The thrust of Aloe's tongue matched the thrust of her hips, pushing deeply into Lotus from both ends as the blue sister pressed eagerly to the pink. Lotus could feel the bulge of Aloe's belly against her, feel it's gentle curve rubbing up and down her tummy. She could feel the wet fur brushing against her little pony breasts as Aloe pulled back. Then as she thrusted inwards, Lotus gasped, feeling her own nippled pressing to her sister's swollen ones, feeling the warmth and tenderness as those little nubs of flesh met. Lotus pulled back just a bit, her lips coming down to wrap around Aloe's tongue. With a groan she suckled at it, pulling gently. In her mind it wasn't her sister's tongue she was sucking at, it was one of those swollen breasts. How she wished to taste the sweet flesh down there. How she wished her sister would taste her's.

Lotus could feel it building deep inside. Her hips jerking down with every thrust Aloe took into her. The pressure inside growing as her grasping folds squeezed harder and harder, pulling with need, with desire. Her forelegs holding tightly to her sister, squeezing to her as her panting grew ragged, frantic. This wasn't some customer she had taken a fancy to. This was her sister. This wasn't just lust, this was more.

"M-more...." Lotus panted, pulling her lips from around her sister's tongue as she tilted her head back, eyes rolling back. There it was, what she was needing. What she had wanted her whole life without even realizing it. Closer, closer. "More!"

Aloe felt it, that tight, spasming grip clamping down around her. The feel of her sister grasping at her needful length. The pull, the want, rippling along her shaft. It was more than she could take, her own lips opening in a primal cry as she pushed Lotus hard against the wall of the tub, her hips slamming against her sister's as she felt everything come to a point. Then it happened, she felt her length swell, straining as the first ropes of seed forced their way into her sister's hungry depths. Again and again, her whole body shook with the intensity of it all. She couldn't believe it, she was releasing her seed into her own sister. She was filling her sister just as she had been filled that one night. The same way she had been given a foal.

With a strangled groan, Aloe slumped forwards, panting hotly as the last of her seed flooded into Lotus's belly. Lotus couldn't believe it, the unbearable warmth deep inside her. She knew what it meant, knew what could be happening already in her belly. But in a way she wanted it to happen. She looked down to the spent pony in her embrace. Her sister was beautiful. More than that, she was radiant even now. Every day she knew why. And now, she hoped that she could be just as radiant as her sister was.

Slowly she leaned down, nuzzling softly at Aloe's ears as Lotus felt her sister start to drift off. They were both worn out. Gently she tried to scoot over, tugging Aloe along with her along the side of the tub. There was a small ledge under the water, just enough for a pony to lay back on, enough to keep their head above water. It happened sometimes, a pony would get too relaxed, too soothed by the warm waters, and they would nod off. This ledge was meant to allow them to say in the warm water while not being in danger of drowning. But now, it was there for the two sisters to enjoy the slowly smoldering bliss they now shared.

Her cheeks ablaze, Lotus could still feel her sister inside her. Feel that slowly softening member as she pulled Aloe up onto the ledge with her, holding her sister's sleeping form close against her. As she felt her eyes start to close as well, Lotus leaned in close, her lips gently brushing to her sister's as she slept.

"I love joo, Aloe..."

------------------------------

Her eyes slowly fluttered open, the fog of sleep refusing to leave. Slowly, Aloe realized that it was not sleep that wouldn't leave, but the steam rising from the water all around her. Her body had cooled some, but the warm air around the hot tub had kept her comfortable.

She sat up suddenly, remembering just what had happened. Just what she had done. Her cheeks turned crimson as she tried to deny it. That she had forced herself onto her sister. That she could have done such a thing. But a languid groan from next to her pushed away any doubts about what she had done. She looked over to see Lotus laying next to her, slowly rolling over in the shallow water. The warm, contented smile she wore started to sooth some of Aloe's worries.

"L-Lotus... I.. I'm sorry.. I didn't mean.."

The look in Lotus's eyes stopped any words Aloe may have had. She wasn't angry. She wasn't worried. She wasn't even confused. Aloe had seen that look before, seen it in the eyes of the customers who requested the very same room they were now in. Her sister was in love.

That smile spread into a sly grin as Lotus started to sit up, stretching softly as a hoof slipped down her chest, across her barrel and to her belly. She stroked, almost enticingly at her tummy as her eyes held softly to Aloe's.

"Mmmm... Again? Joo are some.." Lotus's lusty words trailed off as her gaze traveled down her sister's body. As they reached Aloe's groin they widened. With a little gasp she looked back up to her sister. "V-Vere..?"

Aloe followed her sister's gaze, a gasp of her own as she noticed what Lotus was looking at. Or rather, what she wasn't looking at. All trace of that throbbing, needful length was gone, leaving Aloe as much a mare as she ever was. Lost for an explanation, she looked back to her sister, her eyes meeting Lotus's as her mouth hung agape.

"Maybe..." Lotus said softly, reaching up with a hoof to caress slowly at her sister's cheek. Her voice was tender, warm and soft like a sauna towel. "It vas just to bring us closer..."

Aloe blushed brightly, her hoof coming up to hold Lotus's against her warm cheek. It had been just like that night. Only now, she was that mare in the alley. And her sister was herself. Slowly the smile on her lips softened, lowering as her mood became more serious. She had to do it now. After what they had shared, what she had done to her sister, Aloe couldn't keep it from her any longer.

"Lotus... Der... Der iz something joo have to know..."
