Dinner was a pleasant affair. Aspect told Bon Bon what he'd been up to, along with the progress of the Wonderbolts. The mare had made a rather nice quiche for the meal, a nice red wine she got from Berry Punch to go with it. Lyra joined them for the meal, so the conversation around the table never stagnated.

And after dinner, she decided to make good on her promise to Realm. She'd be lying if she didn't admit that she wanted to see his reaction more than anything.

When she trotted into room, she noticed he'd eaten all of his dinner, an act that put a smile on her muzzle.

“Heya kiddo,” she greeted him. “How are you feeling?”

“Blargh,” the young alicorn said, falling on his side. “Kill me now.”

“Well if I did that, your dad might get upset,” Bon Bon chuckled as she took a seat next to his bed. “Hmm, what if I told you that Twilight will be back tomorrow.”

“Eh...I mean on the one hoof, she’s not bad looking, but on the other hoof, she’s scarily powerful and so not interested in me,” Realm returned.

“Isn’t she your friend?” Bon Bon deadpanned and shook her head. “Well, whatever. I have something for you, something that is bound to cheer you up~” She placed the silver plate on the bed and removed the lid.

Inside was the mother of all chocolate banana splits. Two bananas, topped with crushed almonds and chocolate sauce, laid on a bed of neapolitan ice-cream and diced strawberries.

“I present to his Highness, the fair Prince Realm of the Paint. Ice cream!”

“It...it looks more like a work of art than a dessert,” the colt breathed out.

“I’ll take that as a compliment, coming from one such as you,” Bon Bon chuckled and dipped a spoon into it, taking a bit of the fruit and ice cream. “But it’s still meant to be enjoyed, so say ahh~”

Realm dutifully opened his mouth and waited.

Bon Bon placed the spoon inside and…

Pure pleasure exploded across the colt’s brain. This...this tasted fantastic. This tasted like nothing he’d ever had before.

“So, is it ‘life changing’?” Bon Bon smirked, relishing the expression on his face. “Or did I perhaps fail at my appointed task?”

“Less talk,” the colt muttered as he ate it. “More of this.”

“Yes your Majesty,” Bon Bon smirked as she kept spoon feeding him until the bowl was licked clean.

“That...that was too good,” the colt muttered. “How...how can something like that exist? How hasn’t everypony eaten that stuff?”

“Well I don’t know when it first came to be,” Bon Bon shrugged. “But… almost everypony likes ice-cream… unless your lactose intolerant or have no soul.” She giggled and rubbed his head. “Told ya you’d like it.”

“Fine, you win,” Realm replied, huffing. “That was good. Very good. And I might just change a few things about my life because of it. Namely, how to acquire and eat more of it.”

“And point to Bon Bon,” the mare nodded smugly. “I’ll have a talk with your father, maybe he’ll keep a better stock. This stuff I had to make from scratch, but you can normally buy tubs of it.” She picked up the dirty dishes and placed them on her back. “Okay kiddo, you get some rest now okay. There anything else you need?”

“Nah...but thanks,” the colt said, laying back and sighing happily. At least one good thing had come out of this. He’d gotten to taste ice-cream.

“Alright, sleep tight,” Bon Bon smiled as she fixed his pillows and gave his forehead a kiss. “See you in the morning alright.”

“See you,” Realm muttered softly, closing his eyes. Bon Bon turned out his lights and left the room, the door ajar slightly to still let just a little light in as she smiled to herself, trotting down the hall.

“I… wonder if having a foal is like this?” she wondered to herself.

And for once, the paintings didn’t speak up, leaving her alone with her thoughts.

The next morning, Aspect awoke, feeling Bon Bon lying next to him, the warmth of her body was a nice comfort. He yawned and cracked open an eye… only to see a large pair of magenta-hued eyes staring only centimeters away from his own.

“Hello Dash,” Aspect muttered, before closing his eyes again. “Did you have fun on your trip?”

“What? No yelp? No filly esque scream?” Rainbow sounded a little disappointed at the lack of reaction. “Bah, you’re no fun. But yeah, was a’ight. You know, aside from falling off a train and Pinkie inciting a war through a cabaret song.”

“Well, I’ve learned that trying to understand the pink one is an exercise in madness, so really, you should stop,” the stallion said, before raising a wing. “Wanna cuddle? Room for one more.”

Her response was to just flop on top of him unceremoniously as Bon Bon cracked an eye open, expecting to see Aspect…

“Hiya,” Rainbow said and poked out her tongue, Bon Bon gasped and flinched back, before narrowing her eyes as the pegasus mare giggled.

“So hey, the Bearers are back,” Aspect spoke up from underneath Rainbow.

“So hey, I noticed,” Bon Bon deadpanned and booped the mare's muzzle as Rainbow snickered and cuddled against Aspect. “Maybe Ponyville should learn what a cuddler our dear Rainbow is?”

“Do it and I’ll prank you til the end of time,” Rainbow threatened.

“Nah, we just need to stick a bell on her,” Aspect replied. “Then we won’t be caught so off-guard.”

“I’d like to see you try,” Rainbow yawned as she settled into the hug.

“Plus, if you actually pranked us, I’d sic my daughters on you,” Aspect said. “You think you and Pinkie are good? Celly’s had a thousand years to refine her pranks.”

“Pfft, seriously?” Rainbow snorted from somewhere amongst his chest fur. “She’s like… the princess. All prim and proper and stuff. I bet she wouldn’t know a good prank if it bit her.”

“The guard’s uniforms,” Aspect said simply, waiting for the question he knew would be coming.

“What about ‘em?” Rainbow asked.

“Back in the Everfree Castle, we had a saying,” Aspect explained. “‘You could use his skull as a dustpan, and his mane as a brush!’ It spoke as to how useless a noble was. Well, Celly liked that saying, and used it about quite a few guards sometimes. Apparently one got promoted to the Captain of the guard, and didn’t really know what the saying meant...so he altered his uniform to look sort of like he had a big brush sticking out of his helmet. Given a thousand years without her explaining the joke, and...guess what Lulu and I did the first time we saw it?”

Rainbow paused, thinking about it and giving up cause she was too tired. “What?”

“Apparently Lulu laughed her head off when she saw the captain for the first time,” Aspect explained. “I had to suppress a chortle when I saw their uniforms. Celly plays pranks and games...just really, really long ones.”

“Sounds like a long time for a payoff,” Rainbow shrugged, nuzzling further into the hug.

“So, what about the stories that the Guard used to be Celestia’s personal harem?” Bon Bon asked, Rainbow’s ear flicking up at that one.

“Probably because she kept trying to make it like that,” Aspect explained. “Trying, and failing. You two should see her trying to get her guards to realize she’s hitting on them sometime. It’s a great cure for a bad mood.”

Rainbow started shaking in his grasp, a fit of giggles already claiming her as she conjured a mental image of Celestia using cheesy pick up lines.

“Oh come on,” Bon Bon snorted. “You cannot tell me that in over a thousand years, she hasn’t learned how to romance somepony?”

“I think that’s half the reason Cadence was picked to ascend,” Aspect replied. “So that somepony could finally teach her what not to do.”

“I don’t know if that’s hilarious… or just plain sad,” Bon Bon sighed and sat up. “Well, I’ve got to get ready for work. I have a lot to do if I need to take an hour or two off to train the kids today.”

“Mmm, I’ll be there in time to join you for teaching,” Aspect replied, drawing Rainbow in for snuggles. “For now I’ma snuggle this nice talking pillow.”

“Of course,” Bon Bon chuckled and kissed both ponies before getting up. “Enjoy doing nothing while I have to slave over a hot stove all day. Ahh, to be the responsible one in this relationship.”

“And actually,” Aspect said, before letting go of Rainbow. “You probably have some catching up to do with the weatherponies around here.”

“Eventually,” Rainbow sighed, nuzzling him again. “Cloud Kicker’s responsible. And if there hasn’t been a snow storm or fire tornado in the last couple of days, then we’re cool.”

“Nah, I insist,” Aspect replied, nudging her with his muzzle. “Go out and be responsible, I have to take care of Realm anyways, make sure everything is in shipshape in the house. I promise we can cuddle when you come back.”

Rainbow groaned overdramatically as she rolled out of the bed. “Urghh, fiiiiiiine, haven't seen me in two days and you’re already kicking me out.”

“And inviting you back, because as Bon Bon pointed out,” Aspect quipped, before kissing her cheek. “We all should be responsible ponies before we have fun.”

“Yeah yeah, Mister ‘I let three fillies turn the town upside down’,” she smirked and hovered into the air. “Fine, I’ll be back. Later!” And with a blast of air, she rocketed from the nearest window.

“Right,” Aspect rolled out of bed. “Take care of the house, then be back in bed to greet Rainbow again.”

In all honesty, taking care of Realm hadn’t taken all that long, and the other minor things he had to do barely took up any time at all. He was back in the bed, lying on his back and bemoaning his fate of being bored within an hour.

“Something the matter?” Written asked from her portrait. “You seem… antsy today.”

“Just...stir-crazy, I guess,” Aspect replied, rolling over onto his chest. “I said I had things to do so that Rainbow wouldn’t feel left out of the whole ‘being responsible’ shtick. But I only had so much, and now I’m regretting sending her away.”

“Oh? Then why not just go find her then?” Written pointed out. “You didn’t sit around in one room waiting for me in the castle did you?”

“But she might actually be busy being responsible,” Aspect replied. “Plus she said she’d come back.”

“Hmm, and yet, I recall something Little Tia said… something about, making friends?”

“I am not a grumpy old hermit,” Aspect grumped. “I’m just patient is all. I’ll give her another hour and if she hasn’t come back, I’ll go out looking for her.”

“Says the stallion literally talking to the walls,” Written teased him with a smug grin.

“I’m used to Pictomancy, your argument is invalid,” Aspect replied, before sticking his tongue out at her maturely.

“You know, I wonder if that Rainbow mare knows about your ticklish spots,” Written wondered aloud.

“You wouldn’t dare,” Aspect replied.

“Wouldn’t I?’ Written smirked back. “You know Tia got her prankish nature from me~ Even so, which silly human was it that taught me about pranks in the first place? I can’t seem to remember.”

“I still maintain that maybe she’s just busy,” Aspect returned. “She is the weather manager for the entire village. One hour, and then I’ll go out. Promise.”

“One of these days…” Written sighed and shook her head. “Well if you insist. And how is Realm doing? I’ve noticed that Bon Bon seems to be doing a remarkable job taking care of him.”

“He’s adjusting well, though his everything is still sore,” Aspect replied. “It’ll probably take him a full week to actually recover. And let’s not even mention how getting used to his new horn is going to go. Alicorn-level magical surges are nothing to sneeze at.”

“Ah yes… that’s, going to be messy,” Written shuddered. “Well you seem to have everything in hoof at least. Though knowing your luck, something big is going to bite you in the flank sooner or later.”

“Probably, though I am thankful that a good...ninety percent of the things from the bad old days are dead,” Aspect nodded. “Now it’s just minor things, like hydras and Ursas. Things that can actually, you know. Be handled by somepony other than me.”

“Unless Tartarus opens, then you’re screwed eight ways to Sunday,” Written replied dryly. “Well, I’m not too worried. My girls are strong, you’re finally back and I see you’ve been training some other ponies as well. Just… watch out for manticores hmm?”

“I swear if there is one species that has it out for us all,” Aspect rumbled.

“Yes, your luck with them has been… poor,” Written agreed. “Also, you might want to brace yourself.”

Aspect had all of a moment to think about that, before a polychromatic blur slammed into him, bouncing the bed a few times before coming to a stop, Rainbow sitting atop of him.

“Oh hello,” Aspect said up to her. “You know, I was this close to coming out and looking for you.”

Written snorted derisively from her place on the wall.

“Lemme guess, he was just laying around here moping and griping as usual?” Rainbow smirked.

“Mhm,” the alicorn nodded.

“Figured,” Dash tacked on.

“...You are conspiring against me, aren’t you?” Aspect glared at Written.

“Would I do that?” Written replied oh-so-innocently as she turned away. “Oh and Rainbow dear?”

The mare turned and looked at her.

“He’s ticklish on the bottoms of his hooves.” And with that, she left the picture as Rainbow turned and her smirk grew to unsettling levels.

“No,” Aspect said, pointing a hoof at her. Which, in retrospect, was a bad move. She snagged his hoof as she flared a wing and started her assault on the soft underside. Aspect snorted and did his best to contain his laughter, but couldn’t stop the grin breaking out on his face.

“Tickle tickle~” Rainbow smirked. “Come on, let’s hear a giggle from the grumpy pone.”

“No!” Aspect managed to blurt out, still containing his laughter. “Not gonna...give you...the satisfaction!”

“Yes you wiiilll~” she cooed, grabbing his second hoof and started tickling that too. The snorting increased, and something seemed about ready to burst out of Aspect’s mouth, but each time it nearly did, he pressed his lips together. If there was one thing he was, it was stubborn.

“Coochie coochie coo~” Rainbow persisted. If there was one mare that could out-stubborn him, it was her.

And then she heard it. It existed for all of a second, before he managed to press his lips back together, but she heard it all the same. The rare, coveted, Aspect Laugh.

She released him and pointed. “Aha! I heard that! You. Laughed!”

“I did not,” Aspect returned, thankful the tickling had stopped. “You must be hearing things.”

“I heard it too,” Hurricane chuckled from the painting, having watched the whole event.

“Lies and slander,” the stallion huffed, crossing his forelegs and looking away. She used that to grab his hooves and start tickling him again. Aspect snorted once more, shaking his head. He wasn’t going to give in again!

Then she yanked him forward and pulled him into a deep kiss, her tongue pressing against his lips. Aspect let out a moan before pulling his hooves free and wrapping them around her, hugging her closer. The paintings wisely saw where this was going and left. Though Hurricane might have paused to watch… only to have Written drag her away.

Rainbow hummed into the kiss and then pulled back, smiling. “Is that better then?” she purred in a sultry tone, her gaze becoming a half-lidded one.

“Mmm, much,” Aspect returned, running a hoof down her side to rub at her flank.

“So,” the mare mused as she moved her hoof across his chest. “Did you miss me?”

“Mmm, of course I did,” Aspect replied, groping that flank and getting a good hoofful of it. “I missed having you here, waking up with you…” He whispered the next part. “Stuffing that cute little rear of yours…”

Rainbow blushed and swatted his flank with her tail. “Such a naughty stallion, what am I going to do with you?”

“Probably take everything I have to offer,” Aspect casually stated before lightly smacking her flank.

“Mmm,” she moaned a little at that. “And… what might you be offering?”

“Oh, you know,” Aspect said. “Just a good old round of me rutting you through the bed.” He swatted her flank again, still being light enough to not cause any actual pain...yet.

“Hmm, s’at so?” Rainbow mused and put her hooves on his chest. “And if I have… other ideas?”

“Oh?” Aspect replied, getting a good hoof of her flank again. “And what sort of ideas might this naughty mare have?”

“Hmm…” She tapped her chin and grinned. Getting off of him, she moved over to his walk in wardrobe and disappeared inside. Aspect merely sat back and waited, wondering what the prismatic mare might have planned.

“So,” he heard her call out. “You like teaching, yeah?”

“It is what I find the most joy in, yes,” Aspect replied, still sitting on the bed.

“Well then…” the door slowly opened and Rainbow Dash emerged. And what she was wearing well…

“So,” she replied coyly and bat her eyes. “Will you teach me something then~?”

“Mmm, better idea,” Aspect murred as he drank in what she was wearing. “Pop quiz. Show me how you’d arouse and please a stallion.”

“Ohh, I… suppose I could do that,” she replied and blushed. Climbing up onto the bed, she looked over his form and he caught a glimpse of what was under her skirt. She was even wearing a cute pair of white panties.

She edged closer, one hoof starting to caress his thigh.

“A good start,” Aspect praised her. “Not going directly for the main objective. Warm the stallion up first.”

She moved in a bit closer and started placing kisses along his chest, slowly moving up his neck and along his jawline, before placing a deep, sensual kiss on him lips.

“Mmmm,” Aspect murred into the kiss, breaking it after a sufficiently long enough moment had passed. “Very good, very good indeed. You do know quite a bit about arousing a normal stallion. Now,” he stated, before flaring his wings. “Advanced question. How would you go about arousing specifically a pegasus stallion?”

She smiled as her hoof moved to the elbow of his wings, softly rubbing it as she moved around behind him and started nuzzling the space between his wings. Aspect moaned at her attentions, his wings stiffening a little so that she’d have maximum space to work with.

She pressed in a little further, now adding some nibbling and soft moaning to her nuzzles as she used both her forehooves to tease his wings. Her tail flicked around and brushed up against his flank and thighs. Aspect moaned louder, doing his best to hold himself still as she teased him.

“You’re...quite the...good student,” he panted out.

“Mmm, I have a… good teacher~” she purred into his ear and nibbled on it slightly.

“I think...you’ve just about...managed it,” the stallion panted. “So...now that you’ve...passed your...first test…”

“Oh, I passed huh?” Rainbow moved back around in front of him and smiled. “And, what’s my grade Teach?”

“Solid A,” Aspect replied, and a quick look down would prove that wasn’t the only thing that was solid.

“Ohh, this next test looks… hard,” she murmured and licked her lips.

“I’m sure you’ll manage it,” Aspect smirked at her.

“So, what’s next then?” she asked him. “Another pop quiz, or is it free study time?”

“Yup, your turn to do what you can to pleasure a stallion,” Aspect said, making sure not to block her access at all. “Go nuts.”

“Okay then,” she said with a teasing wink. She drew closer, before poking out her tongue and dragging it slowly along his length, pausing to kiss and nibble the tip as she started working her way back down again.

“Ooooh buck,” Aspect moaned softly. She’d gotten good at this.

She moved a bit lower, nuzzling his weighted orbs and took in his scent, moaning softly as she opened her mouth and took one in, suckling on it gently.

“You’ve learned...quite a bit...from Bonnie,” Aspect groaned as he felt her work on him.

“You think so?” she mused as she worked her way back up… and then took his head into her mouth and started to press down, inch by inch sinking into her maw. Aspect hissed as he felt this, knowing instinctively that she hadn’t learned that yet, but enjoying it all the same.

Then she kept going, more and more until he felt her nose touch his belly. His eyes widened and he looked down, just in time to see her look back and wink, before moaning loudly around him.

“Holy...buck…” Aspect whispered as he saw her accomplish that which had previously thwarted her. “Has somepony...been practicing?”

She just hummed as her throat squeezed him, her tongue toying with his shaft as she started bobbing her head, those rose-colored eyes never leaving his as she winked at him again, following up with another moan.

“Not...gonna lie,” Aspect moaned, doing his best to not buck. “Pretty...bucking hot…”

She moaned again, bobbing her head a few more times before pulling almost all the way back up. Keeping just the head in her mouth, she suckled on that as her wings moved around, the feathers wrapping around the rest of his shaft and sliding up and down the slick member.

“Buck!” Aspect swore, only his extreme force of will preventing him from doing just that. “Okay...I think...I think if you keep it up too much longer...I might finish early.”

She smirked and pulled back away from him, licking her lips in a sultry manner. “Ohh, sorry about that Teach…” She gave him another half-lidded stare. “Guess I’ve been a naughty filly~”

“And what does the naughty filly get?” Aspect returned, playfully scowling at her.

“Ohh, are you gonna punish me?” she hummed, wiggling her flank.

“Ohhh, I might just have to,” Aspect mused. “Mmm...now how should I do that? Should I just spank the filly until her flanks are red and raw?”

“Ohh, you’d like that huh?” she chuckled, waving her skirt-clad flank in his face.

“Or should I hold the filly down,” Aspect started, even as he ran a hoof along her flank, “And screw her until she cums?”

“Choices, choices,” she purred. “Better make it fast, Rainbow’s are notorious for not sticking around long~”

“Oh who said I had to pick?” Aspect all but growled to her. “I’m sure I can combine the two. Now you naughty filly…” His hoof lightly smacked her flank. “Why don’t you go ahead and present yourself?”

“Oh?” Rainbow hummed and shot him a challenging look. “Why don’t you make me?”

“Because I don’t want to damage your pretty little outfit by ripping it off of you,” Aspect replied, smacking her flank again.

“Aww, you don’t like playing rough?” she teased again, shaking her tail at him.

“I want you to be able to use it again, so there’s a limit on my roughness,” he retorted, before rubbing her flank where he’d spanked her.

“Fair enough,” she mused as she slid out of the white panties teasingly, making sure to make it as slow as possible, using her tail to hide anything underneath though.

“Mmm, you do enjoy teasing me,” Aspect noted aloud. “Now is that a normal thing, or a revenge for kicking you out thing?”

“A little of A, a little of B,” she mused as she turned around and sat on her rump, her hind legs spread but her tail hid everything as the painties dangled from one of her hooves. Then, with a casual flick, she kicked them off and they landed right on his muzzle, his nose filled with the scent of her arousal.

“Mmm, you are a naughty little filly, aren’t you?” Aspect growled low in his throat. He easily swiped the panties off his face and to the side, giving Rainbow a lustful gaze.

“Mmmaybe,” she giggled and flicked her tail from side to side. “What are you gonna do about it, Teacher~”

“I think I’m gonna have to take your tight little rear for a ride you won’t soon forget,” the stallion replied. “Shouldn’t you be presenting, filly?”

She turned around and lowered her front half, raising her hips and flicking her tail to one side to show off her dripping marehood to him.

“Mmm,” Aspect hummed, rubbing her lower lips with a hoof...before transitioning seamlessly into smacking one of her flanks with the same hoof. She let out a soft squeak and her flanks wiggled ever so slightly. Compared to Bon Bon, who had a little plush in her rump, Rainbow was nice and taut, she may have been a smaller mare, but he could see the muscle under that cyan fur.

“Take a picture, it’ll last longer,” she snarked when she caught him staring.

“Why would I ever need to?” Aspect replied, smacking her flank again. “The real thing’s far more entrancing.”

“True enough,” she said after squeaking from the smack again. “So, what are you gonna do?”

“I’ll let you pick,” Aspect murred as he returned to rubbing her lips. “But you only get to choose one. Whichever one you choose, that’s the one I’m screwing until we’re both done.”

“Ohh, so forceful,” she purred. “How about you tell me which one you want~”

“Mmm, I do that, you might wind up with a foal,” Aspect murred. “And we can’t be having that, can we? Not if you’re going to shoot for the stars…”

“Maaaybe,” Rainbow hummed and shrugged. “Or maybe, Bon Bon got me onto a little potion… one so I don’t hafta worry ‘bout that crap~”

“So your first instinct is ‘let’s test it out’?” Aspect chuckled.

“Why the buck not?” Rainbow shrugged. “S’not like it’s gonna work with Bon Bon now is it? Unless one of your weird-ass spells turns her into a bro.”

Aspect slowly lowered his hoof. “Explain,” he stated, his previous mood gone.

“Explain what?” Rainbow blinked in surprise at his sudden stalling. “I can’t test the potion with Bon Bon, she can’t get me pregnant now can she?”

“Oh good,” Aspect sighed, his joviality returning. “For a second I thought you might be saying the potion wouldn’t work with Bon Bon because, oh, I don’t know...she was already pregnant.”

“Huh? Nah, she’s been on it the whole time or so she says,” Rainbow replied. “Why do you think she lets you do it inside of her all the time?”

“Totally calling her out on it when we have a moment together then,” Aspect smirked. “Anyway. Good mood back. Where does the naughty filly want it? Unless she’s gotten a taste for having it shoved somewhere else.”

“Maaaybe, but I’m just a helpless schoolfilly,” she replied and shook her costumed butt. “At the mercy of her… big, strong teacher~”

“Mmm, you get ten seconds to decide,” Aspect informed her. “Then I’m taking charge.”

“Like I haven’t told you to do that already,” Rainbow rolled her eyes. She started to get up. “Maybe I’ll see what Candybutt’s up to…”

There was a moment when she was standing up on the bed.

The next moment, she was pinned to the bed by the stallion on her back, a large, thick head prodding at her lower lips as he growled dominantly in her ear.

“I’ll take that as a no?” she chuckled, her wings fluttering.

Then she felt that thick head spread her wide open as he thrust into her, in one smooth motion. Her mouth opened in a silent cry as her forehooves gripped the bedsheets. That was only a prequel to what was to come, however. Aspect pulled all but the head of his shaft back, before pounding it back into her.

Rainbow let out a loud moan this time, bucking her hips back to meet his. It was all she could do from this position, pinned under him. She was utterly trapped.

So… why was she liking it so much?

Aspect snorted in her ear, a more animalistic, instinctual sound than actual communication, and the pace picked up a notch. It wasn’t a gentle lovemaking session anymore.

No, now he was absolutely rutting her, pounding her mercilessly.

“Ahhhh~” Rainbow’s raspy voice moaned out, almost drowned out by the wet slaps and stallion grunts that filled the room. “C-Celestia! That’s just… aaahhhhh~!”

The stallion grunted a few times, his thrusting starting to become more erratic. And previous sessions with him told Rainbow exactly what was coming. She gripped the sheets tighter and turned her head to look at him.

“Mmm, you gonna fill me up?” she purred huskily between pants and moans. “You gonna breed this silly little schoolfilly?”

Aspect grunted, snorted, and bit onto her rainbow mane as his cock started twitching inside her. Once...twice...the third time was when it started filling her up with his essence. She felt his cock flare inside of her and she gasped as his hot seed started filling her.

“Ahhh, ommyyy gooosh!” she moaned as her own climax kicked in, squeezing his member for all the seed it could produce. It kept going for a few seconds, before the stallion grunted and fell down on top of her, his cock keeping it all in place as he panted heavily.

“Oh… oh wow…” she panted. “S-So that… that’s what it’s like huh…” She collapsed under his weight, her own stamina spent for the moment.

“That...that was pretty buckin’ hot,” Aspect said, finally back in his right mind.

“Yeah?” Rainbow mused from under him. “Any… bit in particular?”

“Pretty much...all of it,” the stallion panted out. “You’re...quite the mare.”

“I aim to please,” Rainbow groaned. “Urgh, come on dude, you’re heavy.”

“Just...one moment,” Aspect replied, getting a hoof under him and rolling himself off of the mare. His length came free with a lewd popping noise, allowing his essence to run free from her at last. She let out a small groan as she started leaking their combined fluids onto the bed as she slowly inched forwards, leaving a sticky trail as she ambled towards the bathroom.

“And that...was amazing,” Aspect panted as he stared up at the ceiling.

“Have fun did you?” Hurricane chuckled from the painting.

“Buck off, I needed that, she needed that...it was too good to have you ruining it,” Aspect grumbled, before rolling again to lie on his belly, to make sure nothing was exposed for any longer than it should be.

“Baah, what kind of mare do ya take me for?” Hurricane scoffed. “I’m happy for ya. At least you found a couple of mares that’ll put up with your snarky arse.”

“Says the mare that corrupted my son,” Aspect snarked back.

“Yeah well…” the painted mare shrugged and whistled innocently. “S’not like you were gonna give him the birds and Breezies talk. Not like you and Written ever did anything. I’m impressed you even know how it works.”

“Blame Cadence,” Aspect grunted. “In any case...I’ll need to wash up after she’s done and get ready for the foals.”

“Fair enough,” Hurricane shrugged. “Just… you better bloody look after my descendant alright? Or I swear I will find a way to park a thundercloud up your flank!”

“Noted,” Aspect chuckled, before deciding to close his eyes and wait. A few moments later, a freshly washed pegasus mare draped herself over him, her coat still slightly damp from the shower as she nuzzled his neck and cheek. Aspect returned the nuzzle before lifting himself off the bed and walking towards the bathroom, now taking his turn to wash up.

“So, Mini-me,” Hurricane spoke up. “You like Aspect huh?”

“Well… yeah,” Rainbow replied. “I mean, he’s alright I guess. Kind of snarky and a bit of a hermit. Sorta like… Twilight if she was grumpy all the time. But he’s cool. He… he’s better than the others at least. Not that they set the bar very high mind you.”

Hurricane raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

Rainbow sighed. “Other stallions and mares, they… couldn’t get used to me I guess. Stallions didn’t like a mare that was stronger than them, and mares didn’t like the fact I wasn’t very fillylike.”

“Hah! I know those feels,” Hurricane chuckled.

“Aspect and Bons… they seem to like me so far,” Rainbow continued. “Still… only a matter of time before they get sick of me too.”

Hurricane closed her eyes and sighed. “Look kid, I’ll admit that Aspect is so dense, I swear light bends around his head sometimes. But look, he ain’t the sort to ditch you for some stupid arse reason like that. Hell, if anything, he likes you even more because you can challenge him. Don’t let Written’s cutesy act fool ya, she was a hellstorm when she got mad.”

“Was not!”

“Ah shush, big ponies are talkin.” Hurricane shouted back and turned to Dash. “Just, don’t give up on him eh? And he’ll never give up on you… ahh, speak of Tirek himself…”

Rainbow blinked and looked up to see him in the doorway. “So uh… h-hey Aspect.”

“Hey,” he said, looking between Rainbow and Hurricane. “Surprised the pair of you haven’t gotten into an ego contest yet.”

“Hah, if she’s half the mare I think she is, then she’s…” Hurricane paused. “What’s the word? Cool?”

“Awesome, but cool also works,” Rainbow nodded. “And yeah, you’re pretty awesome yourself. Especially if you had to put up with Aspect for so long.”

“Mare, you don’t even know what I had to deal with,” Hurricane sighed.

“And thus, my torture is complete, with the past and present agreeing to torment me,” Aspect intoned in a deadpan voice.

“Oh please, I have to balance it out somehow,” Rainbow chuckled and kissed his cheek. “Wait til you see Bons in that uniform~”

“I’m sure she’ll find all new ways to torture me as well,” Aspect chuckled, nuzzling her. “Anyways. I have a class to teach. Take care, you.”

“What, is that all, you’re gonna love me and leave me?” Rainbow pouted. Aspect rolled his eyes, before drawing her into a deep, sensual kiss. One she eagerly returned as she wrapped her hooves around him.

“Whoo, you go mare~” Hurricane cheered, as Rainbow threw a pillow and knocked the painting off of the wall. “...ow.”

Aspect held it for a little longer, before breaking it a smirking at her. “Better?” he asked.

“I guess it’ll have to do,” Rainbow shrugged. “Fine, go and teach your kidlets. I suppose I’ll just nap here for now.”

“Yup, but first,” Aspect said, before walking over and picking up the painting, hanging it back on the wall. “Better, Hurricane?”

“Eh,” she shrugged. “You’re not mad right? Just… thought I’d offer some advice is all.”

“Nah, just as long as you all don’t divulge all my secrets,” Aspect replied. “And on that note, I have a class still, so...mares, it was a pleasure.” He flapped his wings and vanished out the open window.

“Right,” Hurricane chuckled as he left, Rainbow rubbing her hooves in delight. “Now, we know his ticklish spots. What’s next?”

Cheerilee looked at at Aspect and Bon Bon in her ‘Sweetie Drops’ disguise. “Hmm, where is little Sunny? Is she not teaching Sorcery today?”

“The girls got a good lesson about that during the week,” Aspect explained. “I think their families have restricted their magical useage to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”

Ruby, Sweetie and Dinky all sighed, seems they weren’t getting any lessons today.

“Serves the little Blank Flanks right,” Diamond snickered under her hoof. “If I had that power, I wouldn’t let that happen.”

“If you had that power, we’d be well on the way to the arts being lost again,” Aspect sniped at her. “And until you can demonstrate otherwise, you’ll be off the list.”

Diamond just snorted and folded her hooves.

“So, what are we learning today?’ Scootaloo buzzed excitedly.

“Aaah, well, this is going to be an interesting skill for the pegasi,” Aspect replied. “But first, let’s go out back and see how well you’ve progressed in building up your mana pools, eh?”

“Kaaay,” the trio of foals echoed as they followed him outside. Meanwhile, Sweetie had led the potential Geomancers off for some quiet meditation, to improve their skills in listening to the Earth.

“All right, so,” Aspect said, grateful that Cheerilee had seen to it there was a cloud again. “All of you. Up on the cloud, one big flap, and don’t forget the gliding pose to come back down.”

“Yes sir!” they all nodded. Scootaloo made it up on the second attempt, while the other two took a few more tries before they were able to get up onto the cloud as well. Stopping to catch their breath, they glided they way back down.

Rumble’s faceplant when they landed was rather impressive.

“All right, so you all have been practicing, some more than others,” Aspect noted. “Okay, we’ll try the second exercise then.”

“Is it shooting lightning?” Rumble asked excitedly.

“What?” Scootaloo asked with an adorable tilt of her head.

“My big brother Thunderlane saw it,” Rumble clarified. “Mister Aspect can shoot lightning from his wings!”

“Cooooool,” the other foals echoed.

“Nope,” Aspect smirked at them. “You’re nowhere near ready for that yet. The second exercise is simple.” He then posed a question to the foals. “How do Pegasi walk on clouds?”

“With our hooves,” Scootaloo pointed out and the others giggled.

“Mmhm,” Aspect said, before raising a hoof and pointing it at them. All of a sudden, there was a puff of air that blew their manes back. The three blinked, though Featherweight stumbled a little from the sudden breeze.

“What…. What was that?” Rumble blinked.

“That, was me using my magic through my hooves,” Aspect stated. “It’s a useful trick. Try to see if you can do it.”

“But… we’re pegasi, not earth ponies,” Scootaloo pointed out.

“I know, this is about the limit of what a pegasus can do with their hooves,” Aspect returned. “But it’s useful for later on down the line. Go on. Try to draw your magic through your hooves. Let it pool there...and then give it a shove outside your body.”

The three foals just looked at him like he’d grown a second head.

“Okay,” Aspect sighed. “Remember how you took off? Send the magic to your hooves instead of your wings. You should be able to make little gusts that way.”

“Sooo… we fly… with our hooves?” Rumble blinked and looked down. “I dunno… that sounds kinda… weird?”

Featherweight and Scootaloo just stood on their hindlegs and flapped their forelegs.

“Eventually that’s the plan, yeah, but for now I want to see if you can manage even a gust,” Aspect replied. “It’s a handy skill to have under your belt. Try sending the magic to just one hoof to start.”

Meanwhile, Bon Bon’s meditation was going well… until the land decided to be mischievous… and her and her students had to free Cheerilee from a cluster of vines.

Aspect’s students were having a hard time grasping this new lesson. It required a little more understanding of innate magic, so a more experienced flyer could do it, like the Wonderbolts had.

So far, none of them had pulled it off, even after a half hour of trying.

“Arrgghhh! This SUCKS!” Scootaloo yelled, getting more and more frustrated. “I can’t do it!!”

“That’s fine, not everypony can do it on their first try,” Aspect replied soothingly. “It’s hard enough for some to find their magic and use it to take off. Usually they have to get that lesson down before they can ignore putting magic in their wings. When they can, though…” Aspect put all four hooves on the ground and concentrated.

Within a second, he was levitating off the ground via four small gusts being provided by his hooves.

The three just stared in awe, though he could see the frustration in their eyes over their own inability to do so. He landed and smirked at them, before holding one hoof out and using it to generate just a small puff of wind.

“I won’t be mad or disappointed if you can’t do this lesson today,” Aspect said softly. “It just means you need more training with your innate magic, is all.”

“But… I need to able to do this,” Scootaloo sighed as she looked at her hoof. “If I can’t… Then, the Diamond is right…”

“Want to know a trick?” Aspect asked the foals.

They all looked at him expectantly. With a smirk, he reached into his bag and pulled out three lengths of rope.

“Uhh, what’s with the rope?” Scoots asked him. During her crusades with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, her track record with rope wasn’t a friendly one.

“Simple,” Aspect replied. “If I bind your wings, then you can’t accidentally send your magic to them. Giving you more of a chance to send it to your hooves. And if you manage it once, you won’t ever forget the trick.”

“Uhh, I dunno about that…” Scootaloo said. She wasn’t a fan of having her wings touched.

“Here, let me demonstrate,” Aspect said, before motioning Rumble forward. The colt nodded as he did and in a few moments, had the rope tied around his waist.

“This is so weird,” Rumble muttered.

“Featherweight, your turn,” Aspect said, holding up the next length. “Meanwhile, Rumble, concentrate on calling up your magic and sending it down to your hooves.”

Featherweight followed suit, and Scootaloo last, though she still looked uncomfortable about having her wings tied down. And once that was done, they started the lesson again.

Cheerilee had been rescued successfully, though her blush shone through her mulberry coat. That group had resumed meditating and Aspect’s charges were still trying to produce any sort of reaction from their hooves.

“Don’t try to force it,” Aspect told them. “If you’re having trouble putting magic to your hooves, just call up more magic. It can’t do anything with your wings, so sooner or later it’ll trickle down to your hooves. Or if we run out of time, I’ll have you all step on the cloud to try and make it happen on its own.”

He felt somepony watching him and glanced up, seeing Rainbow Dash lazing on a cloud as she peered down at them. He waved a wing at her before sighing. “Okay, who wants to try stepping on the cloud?” he asked his charges.

“How? Our wings are tied,” Scootaloo said, but her eyes widened as Rainbow landed next to Aspect.

“Hey now squirts,” she said. “You think I became as awesome as I am overnight? Practice makes perfect am I right? If this old hermit says you got what it takes, then you got what it takes.”

“I dunno…” Rumble sighed.

“Hey!” Rainbow almost shouted, making them flinch. “What are you? A pegasus? Or a mouse?”

“Uh, a pegasus?” Rumble replied.

“Exactly!” Rainbow stomped a hoof. “We’re awesome! It’s in our blood. So I want you squirts to jump on that cloud and show this lesson who’s boss!”

“It might be a good idea to close your eyes as well, focus on the feeling of your magic as you set hoof on the cloud,” Aspect mentioned.

The foals all looked at one another and nodded. Closing their eyes, they climbed up onto the cloud. Scootaloo was the first to notice a weird tingling in her hooves. Weird, she’d never noticed it before when cloudwalking.

“Um, are my hooves supposed to itch?” Featherweight called out.

“That, is the feeling of your natural magic kicking in, and allowing you to cloudwalk,” Aspect said. “Focus on it. Don’t lose it.”

Then a *paff* sound echoed out and Scootaloo squealed, tumbling head over hooves on the cloud. “W-What the heck was that!? What hit me from underneath the cloud?”

“Congratulations Scootaloo,” Aspect smirked. “Your magic pooled in your hooves and caused a gust of air to come out. In short, you did it.”

“I… wat?” Scootaloo blinked, stuck headfirst in one of the clouds.

“Dang it, Scootaloo beats us again?” Rumble pouted. Once the lesson was over, each of the three at least got some kind of reaction, nothing near the level of his older students, but they’d get there in time.

“So?” Bon Bon mused as they walked home together. “How did your lesson go?”

“Well enough, they’re picking up the advanced lesson now,” Aspect replied. “Pretty soon they’ll be causing all sorts of wind through their hooves. Who knows, we might have the future Wonderbolt squad here in town.”

“My own went alright… until the earth decided to enact a neighponese comic scenario on Cheerilee,” Bon Bon sighed. “Well in any… case…” She paused as they got to the front door, they could hear, voices. Familiar ones.

Lyra… and another mare that sent chills up Aspect’s spine.

Toola Roola.

“Oh no,” Aspect whispered. “Odds on her being here because of the new alicorn?”

“Odds on her being here because she found out about Rainbow Dash?” Bon Bon gulped as she opened the door, the brightly coloured mare laying eyes on the as soon as they entered.

“So,” she said and crossed the room towards them. “My daughter wasn’t enough for you hmm?” This wasn’t an earth pony mare stalking towards him, this felt more like a pissed off Momma Manticore.

“You talk like I was the one to suggest anything,” Aspect riposted. “I would have been happy on my own. Grumpy, but happy, especially now that I have a teaching job again. Anything more than that was her idea.”

Toola glared at him, before her mood flipped like a switch. “Hah, he grew some balls since last time. Good colt.” She slapped his back and chuckled. “So next item on the agenda.” She pointed to the paintings, which had been still and silent since she’d arrived. “Who’s the Pictomancer in the house?”

“Pictomancy is a lost art,” Aspect replied. “I know of it, but I’m hardly skilled enough to bring it back. I’m afraid you might be mistaken, miss.”

Toola Roola narrowed her eyes. Bon Bon took a healthy step back from him. He was on his own now.

“Colt,” she muttered. “I like you, that’s the reason I let you date Bon Bon. That and I want grandfoals sometime in the future. But do not treat me like a bloody idiot. I’m too young to be senile and I saw that painting of Commander Hurricane move when I arrived.” She snorted and poked his nose. “Besides, you think I can’t tell when Spectra paint’s been used? I can almost taste the magic coming from them.”

Aspect stared at her for a moment longer, before looking over at Hurricane. “Really?” he asked the painting.

“I thought I was quick enough,” Hurricane sighed. “Damn perceptive for an earther, I’ll give her that.”

Toola Roola just smiled smugly. “Besides… you can’t escape the eyes of a Pictomancer~”

“Wait! YOU know Pictomancy!?” Bon Bon exclaimed.

“Mhm, got ahold of a vial of Spectra paint some… fifteen years ago now. Wasted it on a painting of a cat…”

“Must have been quite the shock when it started moving,” Aspect replied. “How have you been getting more? The recipe was something I unearthed fairly recently...and doesn’t lend itself well to Earth Ponies on their own making more.”

“It was the one and only time I ever obtained some,” Toola sighed and shook her head. “I’ve always wished I could work with it again. But I didn’t even know what it was called until I studied up on it.”

“Well, the artist for all of these...actually,” Aspect mused, before shaking his head. “No. The artists for these are long dead. The restorer for them, the one who improved them and made them far more layered and detailed, is currently...indisposed.”

Toola raised an eyebrow.

“He burned himself out making one of the greater Pictomancy paintings I’ve seen,” Aspect explained. “Nearly cost him his magic and his life, but he’ll recover.”

“I see,” Toola said. “So, where’s the painting?”

“Hanging in the gallery,” Aspect replied. “It also has something ringing it that I think you might find...interesting.”

“Oh?” Toola’s ears perked up. “Explain if you would please?”

“It’d be easier to see it,” Aspect returned with a shake of his head. “I don’t think you’d quite believe it or its properties until you’d experienced them for yourself.”

“Interesting,” Toola mused as she walked over to one painting, one of Clover the Clever. “Whoever this artist is, he’s quite skilled I’ll admit. The life in these pieces is quite extraordinary.”

“Whoa… you never compliment somepony like that,” Bon Bon gasped, earning an eyeroll from her mother.

“To be fair, Pictomancy is about three things,” Aspect replied. “The paint, your imagination, and how many layers you can add. They were already pretty good paintings before he got at them. He just...made sure they were as good as they could possibly be. Aside from his more personal project, which of course got as much love as he could ladle on.”

“You know, I think I might have to extend my stay,” Toola hummed. “I was just curious about your, menage a trois, but now I’m highly curious about both Pictomancy and this artist of yours.”

“So… you’re staying?” Bon Bon blinked and sighed. “Do you even bother asking?”

“Balanced dear, you wouldn’t mind if your charming future mother-in-law stays a while?” Toola Roola smiled sweetly.

“Just as long as you don’t pester Starswirl when you meet him,” Aspect said, looking at the doors before picking the one that led to the gallery. “This way to the painting.”

“...Who the buck is Starswirl?” Toola asked.

“Oh she is going to have a field day when she meets him,” Clover giggled. “I think he was finally exploring that painting today, Aspect.”

“Oh good, two birds and all that,” the stallion smiled.

Toola Roola simply shrugged as she dumped her bags on Bon Bon. “Take care of these honey. I have a painting to look at.”

“...Sure, make yourself at home,” Bon Bon rolled her eyes as she trotted off to put her things away. Well, so much for peace and quiet around here.
