A Twisting Tale
Chapter 29: New Growth
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"A little more to the left." Double Diamond wasn't a magical unicorn, he wasn't a soaring pegasus, he didn't have green magic, animated tails, or even giant wings. He was an earth pony, pregnant, and well respected in Our Town for his willingness to step in and take charge when something needed it.
Starlight Glimmer and Banjo Solo needed guidance. Their talents let them understand more about a plant than any other unicorn, but they were still unicorns—although the plant wings on their backs were growing nicely.
When Double Diamond put his hooves on the first bit of greenery that Starlight and Banjo had wrought from the wasteland, he had almost recoiled from it. They had been spraying their magic about without the slightest thought for what might actually grow, which was why he was now giving them directions in scattering seeds and planting cuttings of trees (which were mostly taken from the few houses that had since sprouted into trees).
The ground knew what magic had been unleashed already, it knew what was coming, and it thrummed that anticipation through Double Diamond's hooves in a way that had him almost pronking in excitement. "That one first."
Starlight Glimmer took a step back and gestured to Banjo Solo. "You first." It wasn't that she couldn't have gotten the tree cutting to grow, it's that she would have grown the entire meadow they were trying to build. Starlight's green magic was to plants like what the Elements of Harmony were to reformed villains.
Stepping up, Banjo Solo couldn't help but let his eyes roam over Starlight first, drinking in the sight of her. Her sides didn't have a bulge yet, but Banjo was back in his prime, and the plant seemed to support his idea of mares being with foal. That he counted as a mare too didn't seem to faze Banjo in the slightest.
Banjo Solo relaxed the grip he unconsciously held on the plant-given power. It was a thin stream of magic, barely even a woolen thread wide, but Banjo sent it twirling out to spiral around the little cutting. Guiding the power took all his concentration; Banjo didn't even notice Starlight's presence anymore.
The moment the thread of magic spiraled to the bottom of the cutting, Banjo pulled on it. The spiral pulled inward and drew itself into the wood. Leaning forward, sensing the power he was working with, Banjo pressed his lips to the side of the twig. "Grow for me. Big an' strong."
Like an incantation, Banjo Solo's magic took hold within the cutting. Roots shot down into the unkind soil while branches reached skyward. Leaves sprouted all over the tree, and though the soil wasn't the best for growing, magic didn't care.
As the sapling grew into a tree, Banjo rested his forehead against it, tilted so that his horn rubbed the bark. He could feel when the tree found the water table, and even when it discovered good soil (deep underground). "A little more."
The sight of a tree sprouting from a small cutting and growing into a huge had Starlight Glimmer craning her head upward. She could have done the same, sure, but she would have used ten times the energy to do it. The first seed pod dropped and bopped her on the head.
As more seed pods rained down around them, Doubled Diamond walked up and lifted a hoof to rub the tree. "You made them happy. Starlight, spread those seeds out and let's get the next step started!"
"So how does this help?" Despite questioning Double Diamond, Starlight Glimmer did as instructed. "I mean, we could have just taken more clippings and—"
"These trees will be fighting against the soil, against the sun, and against the deep water table. We don't want them fighting a disease that spreads fast because they are all genetically identical." Double Diamond could feel the other seeds, carrying some measure of the magic Banjo had imbued their parent with, practically begging to be sent out and given the same head-start.
Starlight used her regular magic to scatter the seeds. "But why the big trees first? Won't they make it harder for smaller plants to grow?"
"It's because o' this." Banjo Solo used his hoof to lift up some sand-like soil. "Nothin' short of a tree'd grow in this. We need the trees to prepare the soil."
With the seeds spread out, Double Diamond turned and smiled at Starlight. "Alright. Let 'em have it!"
Using the magic a little differently, Starlight tilted her head to aim her horn at the first seeds. She relaxed her grip, intending just a trickle of magic to flow out. Just like last the first time, however, Starlight's horn became the source of a massive rush of green energy.
Banjo was already worked up from his own magic work, but seeing Starlight rampantly spraying green magic around had his nostrils flaring. Advancing on her, Banjo could smell male and female arousal.
Having been positioned to watch the rush of magic, Bright Day spiraled down to see what was going on. "What—?" Landing just in time for Banjo Solo to rear up and land on Starlight Glimmer's back. He swung his head over to Double Diamond. "Are you alright?"
Double Diamond shifted his back legs a little and tried not to feel embarrassed—which was impossible for him. "Uh, yeah. I should… I think they're… I might just go now." But his legs wouldn't move, and Double's eyes widened when he watched Bright Day walk around in front of Starlight.
With Banjo to keep her company, Starlight hadn't found reason to search out the support group for overly horny plant ponies. Rock hard, and with her lover plowing her depths, she stared at Bright Day as he positioned himself before her, rear aimed at her. When the stallion's tail cocked to the side to reveal his feminine sex, Starlight only managed a groan.
"I didn't get a chance to welcome you to town properly." Bright backed up a little. It wasn't so much pride as pure desire that made him offer himself. That and he liked making ponies happy. "So, welc—" Cut short in his welcome, Bright felt the weight of Starlight Glimmer land on his back. "… come."
Seeing what was going on, and struggling against his desires to just continue until he was done, Banjo Solo steadied himself. Bracing his back legs, he waited for the moment when Starlight would lunge forward. When she did, impaling Bright Day, Banjo shoved with her to keep himself within.
Had Starlight been told she would end up involved with two pretty and affectionate stallions, she wouldn't have thought much of it, but if she had been told that it would be in this particular situation, she would have laughed. Despite any misgivings she thought she would have, Starlight Glimmer was in paradise. Each time she bucked forward, Banjo would be pulled from her, and only his forward thrust ensured it wasn't a complete loss. But, then Starlight would pull back from Bright, impaling herself more firmly on Banjo.
As Starlight rocked between the two stallions, her magic swelled. Pony and plant, her magic just wanted to rush out at once. The combination took on a life of its own.
Turquoise magic wrapped around green as huge globs of power shot from Starlight Glimmer's horn. More green magic met her own from behind her, and it was like her own power became supercharged as a result.
The first few pulses of green magic, wrapped in Starlight's unintentional spell, swirled into the air and then rushed at targets. Each glob found a seed pod and slammed into it. Though all three ponies could see what was happening, none seemed capable of actually noticing the seeking nature of the magic.
When one of the globs, finding no seed pods, turned and aimed at Bright Day, at least the target of the magic took notice. Bright stared at the glob of magic rushing at him—with a background of trees reaching branches up to the sky—and clenched.
The turquoise magic split just as it delivered its cargo to Bright. He felt his body surge in power, the plant side anyway, and cried out in pleasured release. His climax rushed through him from behind while the green magic surged from the front. A branch sprouted from Bright's forehead in mimicry of a horn, just as his pleasure met the wave of green.
Moaning without restraint, Bright Day felt his body fill out a little in and around his hips, while within him life bloomed. He could feel the tiny bundle in his womb stir and grow a little faster with the influx, though Bright was too happy to pay attention.
A switch clicked within Starlight Glimmer's head, and for a moment she felt the rush of excitement that making a stallion hers brought. She bucked harder, drove at Bright's body like a possessed stallion, until her shaft flared and she was washed away in pleasure.
Bringing up the rear, literally, Banjo Solo watched as more of those seeking globs of magic rushed out of Starlight's horn. If the rational side of his mind had any hope of stopping, now was not the time. He drove his hips, each thrust causing Starlight to expel more green magic wrapped in turquoise, until he lost himself to his own release.
Panting, groaning, and trying to establish mental clarity after the pleasure rush and chemical imbalance of sex, Banjo, Starlight, and Bright realized they were together in a meadow bracketed by forest.
"Wh-What happened?" Bright Day could feel Starlight inside him still, and her warmth, but was trying to ignore how it felt to take stock of the situation. "And what did you do to me?" His eyes crossed as they turned up to look at the protrusion from his forehead.
Starlight Glimmer had twice as much distraction, and in her aroused state leaned further over Bright and nibbled at the back of his neck and up to one of his ears.
Slipping off Starlight's back, Banjo turned to look back at the town behind them—but couldn't see it. There was tall, imposing forest all around. Starlight's magic, to Banjo's surprise, had found old seeds from before the wasteland had been such, and rekindled their lust for life. "I don't think we expected this, not right off the bat. Are you alright?"
Words still weren't in Starlight's favor. She tried to say she was fine, but all that came out was a belated sigh of delight. She felt empty without Banjo inside her, and wasn't willing to give up her shaft's home within Bright yet.
Bright Day enjoyed sex. He enjoyed it in a way that surpassed just liking it for the physical sensation and delved further into enjoying when others liked having sex with him. His body felt different, stronger, and it was a testament to just how much Starlight Glimmer had enjoyed having sex. But what made Bright Day enjoy sex even further, was when his partner snuggled and played a little after.
As Starlight nibbled at his ears, Bright found himself growing hard again, his body wanting nothing more than to go another round. "That was great. Uh, you changed me like Tight?"
Starlight Glimmer's awareness came back more firmly. Giving just one last nibble to Bright's left ear, she pulled back, off, and out of him. A groan left Starlight's mouth as her shaft was exposed to the air. "Wh-What happened? I was having fun and then magic started…"
"I think we did our job. Starlight, look around." Banjo gestured at the forest surrounding them. "I don't know how you did all of this, but I think we're going to need to do it more to fix this wasteland."
Bright Day could only fixate on one part of Banjo's words. "More?" Excitement permeated the word and caused him to stand a little straighter and fluff his wings. "I'm okay with more. Right now?" Blushing at the shocked looks from Starlight and Banjo, Bright giggled. "Maybe tomorrow?"
Walking over to Bright, Starlight Glimmer kissed him on the cheek. "Sure, we'll just repeat the best sex of our lives a few minutes after with a repeat performance."
All Bright heard, from the mountain of sarcasm, was: best sex. He let out a giggle and kissed Starlight Glimmer back. "Tomorrow, then." He took a few steps and leaned in to nuzzle at Banjo Solo's cheek too. Banjo seemed a little less enthusiastic, but he didn't shy away completely.
Watching as Bright Day trotted off in the direction of Our Town, Banjo turned to Starlight. "I'm still not completely comfortable with stallions…"
Starlight raised an eyebrow. "There's a butt in there."
"But he doesn't strike me that way. I need to work out how I feel about it an' talk to 'im, I guess." Banjo had no trouble walking up to Starlight and kissing her.
Next Chapter: Epilogue: Alpha Estimated time remaining: 35 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
Patched: do you think the plant will want to send spores out into the world soon?
Shaking her head, Patched Scrape shook her head. "It doesn't seem interested in reproduction—its own—at all. From what I can gather either there is a mature stage yet to come, or the plant might not have any method for its own reproduction."
So I do this "Ask X" thing. X can be any pony within the story. You can ask them anything and they will definitely, hopefully reply. Keep the questions appropriate to the age-rating of the stories, and they will answer the best question in the author notes of the next chapter. The more votes a comment has the more likely I will get it to the right pony to answer. Try to keep it to one question per post! They will pick one question per chapter.
