The Next Day...

Pinkamena opened the door to the furnace room. "Twilight?"

The unicron was sitting in front of the furnace, facing it and staring at the flames.

"Yes, Pinkamena?" asked the mare, sounding a lot less psychotic and a bit more calm.

Scootaloo, who was sitting on the pink mare's back, looked over her head.

"Hey, Twi." she said.

"Scootaloo." said Twilight emotionless.

"You seem better." said Pinkamena.

Twilight looked over her shoulder. "I am."

"Well, at least you didn't try to eat us yet... Yet." said Scootaloo.

Twilight didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"I've learned to control it." she said, returning her gaze to the flames.

"Sure..."

"Have you, now?" asked Pinkamena.

Twilight didn't say anything.

Out of seemingly nowhere, Scootaloo called out, "Want a lighter?"

Twilight looked over her shoulder. "Lighter?"

"Lighter, Scoots?" asked Pinkamena.

"What? She's looking at the furnace like you do a new playmate."

"Are... Are you obsessed with fire, Twilight?" asked Pinkamena.

Twilight returned to the furnace. "I could be."

Scootaloo snickered slightly.

Twilight sighed. "What do want?"

"Just came to check up on you, is all." said Pinkamena.

"Are you letting me out?"

"I don't know. What do you think, Scoots?"

"Mmmmm... She seems calm enough." said the filly.

"Any way you wanna test it?" the mare asked the foal.

Scootaloo jumped off Pinkamena's head and landed on Twilight's.

"Hi, horny." she said.

Twilight eyed her. "What are you doing?"

Scootaloo pulled her knife out.

"Ignoooore meeee." she sang.

Twilight blinked her eyes twice before responding.

"That shouldn't be too difficult." she said, looking back at the flames.

Scootaloo bit her foreleg and let a bit of blood drip onto Twilight's nose. Twilight eyed the blood on her nose and then looked back at the furnace.

"Why not take a deep whiff, Twi?"

"Why?" asked the unicorn.

"I test."

Twilight sniffed. "So what?"

"I thinks she's fine now, mommy." Scootaloo called back, patting Twilight's horn.

"All right, Twi. You're free to go." said Pinkamena.

Twilight slowly stood up and turned to the door. She then began walking forward without saying a word, eyes narrowed in an 'I don't care about anything' sort of expression. Scootaloo didn't get off Twilight's head. She just started humming 'Smile Smile Smile'. Pinkamena watched as Twilight walked passed her. She then closed the door and followed.

"So, how you feeling, Twi?" asked the mare.

"Can't complain."

"Hungry?" Scootaloo asked, looking Twilight in the eyes.

"For what?"

"That's what I want to know."

"I don't care."

"Pony meat, maybe?"

"I spent over a week eating pony meat. I want something else."

"What about fresh pony?"

Twilight's ears perked. "Fresh... pony?"

"You'd like that, wouldn't you, Twilight?" asked Pinkamena, trotting up beside the unicorn as they left the hallway. "Fresh meat?"

Twilight eyed her. "Hell, yes."

"Yeah. Like one of these." Scootaloo cooed, waving a foreleg in front of Twilight's face.

Twilight shook her head, knocking Scootaloo off. Pinkamena caught the filly and flung her onto her own back.

"What was that for?" asked Pinkamena.

"She was pissing me off."

"Heh. So you're not all cold and dead inside." said Scootaloo. "That's better."

"I was trapped in a fucking room for over a week." said Twilight. "I frankly don't give a shit about anything anymore... thanks to the pink bitch, here."

"Well, we didn't want you telling on mommy."

"Who's to say I still won't?"

Pinkamena narrowed her eyes.

"And have us tell of your snacks, too?" asked Scootaloo.

"I can just say I ate them to survive."

"Right..."Scootaloo said doubtfully, knowing the mare was right.

Pinkamena glared at Twilight. "You do and I'll personally kill you myself."

Twilight eyed her and grinned. "But I'm not gonna run. I was only asking how you knew I wouldn't."

"I didn't." said Pinkamena. "But I never had to worry about something like this before."

They made their way up the stairs to the main area. There, Derpy was dusting down the counters, idly humming.

"Hey, Derp." said Pinkamena, heading towards a table and sitting down. As she did, Scootaloo hopped off. "Say hi to our new helper."

"Helper?" asked Twilight, sitting down across from the mare.

Derpy trotted over and sat next to Pinkamena, laying her head in the mare's lap. Pinkamena stroked her mane.

"What do you mean by 'helper'?" asked Twilight, leaning forward a bit.

"Not only do I own Derpy, but I own you, too."

"Like hell!" yelled Twilight.

Derpy flinched slightly at Twilight's loudness as Scootaloo rolled her eyes and headed back downstairs.

"Shhh..." Pinkamena whispered to Derpy. "There, there. No need to be afraid. The mare's just confused."

"I'M CONFUSED?!" yelled Twilight.

She attempted to swipe at the mare, but Pinkamena grabbed her hoof, pulled her closer, and slammed her head down on the table, holding it in place.

"Listen, here, Twi. You belong to me. You do what I say when I say it. No questions asked."

Twilight grunted slightly. "Why can't I use magic?"

"Did you really think I'd take off your Magic Inhibitor Ring just yet?"

Twilight reached up to her horn and tried to pull it off... but couldn't.

"The fuck?" she muttered.

"Don't you know anything about Magic Inhibitor Rings? They can't be taken off by the wearer."

"Fuck you." said the unicorn.

"Ooh... Not yet." said the mare. "So, you gonna calm down or will I have toake this downstairs?"

Twilight exhaled deeply through her nose. "Yeah."

Pinkamena leaned back and resumed petting Derpy. Twilight leaned back, too. Derpy nuzzled into Pinkamena, smiling slightly.

"I see you have her trained." said Twilight.

"I sure do." said Pinkamena.

Derpy kept silent as she watched Twilight.

"How trained is she?" asked Twilight.

"What, you want a demonstration?"

Twilight nodded.

"Hey, Derpy. I think Twilight wants a demonstration."

"Um... R-Relaxing you, o-or..." Derpy asked, looking very shy now.

"How's about the sexiest kiss you two can manage?" asked Twilight with a grin.

Derpy looked at Pinkamena for approval.

The mare nodded and placed a hoof on Derpy's cheek.

"Come on, Derpy." said the mare. "Let's do it."

Derpy leaned forward and slowly, but pasionatly kissed Pinkamena. The mare kissed back as she wrapped her hooves around the pegasus. Twilight grinned as she started to move her hoof. Derpy leaned into Pinkamena, holding the kiss. Twilight moved her hoof between her legs and began rubbing as Pinkamena began to play with Derpy's tongue.

"Mmmmmmmm."

The unicorn began moaning as Pinkamena did.

Derpy slowly moved her hoof between Pinkamena's legs. The pink mare moaned into Derpy's mouth as Twilight began rubbing faster.

"That's it." said Twilight. "Just like that."

Pinkamena eyed the unicorn and then closed her eyes again. She then began rubbing Derpy's wing with one hoof and her flank with the other. The grey mare let out a gasp as she pushed on Pinkamena's flower. The pink mare moaned louder and Twilight rubbed faster, nearly reaching her climax. Pinkamena grabbed Derpy's wings as she felt the feeling rising.

"Almost there!!!" she yelled.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" yelled Derpy.

Twilight let out one final yell along with Pinkamena and Derpy.

"Good girl, Derpy." said Pinkamena. "Good girl."

Twilight looked under the table. "Shit. Did I do that?"

Derpy panted heavily as she lay her head on Pinkamena's lap.

Pinkamena began patting her again as Twilight sat upright.

"So, you proved it." she said.

"Does that mean... you're... cool with the situation?" asked Pinkamena, out of breath.

Twilight hesitated. "It's a'ight."

A loud crashing noise came from downstairs, followed by the pained yells of Scootaloo.

"The fuck!" yelled Pinkamena, sliding off the chair. "Scoots?!" she yelled, running downstairs.

Twilight stared at Derpy who had fallen face-first onto the chair that Pinkamena was sitting on.

"Owww..." Derpy moaned, rubbing her nose.

"You all right, there, Derpy?" asked Twilight, sliding off her chair and onto the floor.

"I'm fine. Just bumped my nose."

"Let me see." said Twilight, stopping in front of the mare.

Derpy uncovered her nose and showed Twilight. "See? I'm fine."

Twilight nodded. She then opened her mouth and lunged at Derpy.

Derpy fell backwards, holding Twilight back with her hooves.

"Wh-What are you doing?!" yelled the pegasus.

"Fresh meat!" yelled Twilight.

"P-PINKAMENA!" Derpy yelled, kicking Twilight in the stomach as hard as she could.

"I'm gonna eat you up." said Twilight, grinning.

Derpy lashed out with a foreleg, hitting Twilight's face.

"Didn't even feel it." said Twilight, smiling.

Derpy kicked again, bloodying Twilight's nose.

"Still didn't feel it."

Just then a chair flew out of nowhere and smacked into Twilight, knocking her a foot or wo away from Derpy.

"Did ya feel that?" asked Pinkamena.

Derpy scrambled to her hooves and bolted behind Pinkamena, hiding behind her.

"DAMMIT!" yelled Twilight, pushing the broken pieces of chair off her.

There was a large splinter sticking out of her hip. She tried to stand but collapsed.

"Fuck." she muttered.

Pinkamena trotted over to her and knelt down.

"You know, maybe I'm wasting my time with you." she said, pulling a knife from her mane. "Perhaps I should just kill you now."

Twilight stared at the knife. "K-Kill me?"

"Well, you're useless. You disobey, you tried to kill my pet, you tried to kill my daughter..." She held the knife's tip against Twilight's neck. "So, now I think I'll kill you."

A tear fell from Twilight's eye.

"Or you could just obey..." Scootaloo called from the doorway.

"Obey?" asked Twilight.

"It's far too late for that now. You've had your second chance... and you blew it."

"M-Maybe one more chance?" Derpy suggested.

"One more chance?" asked Pinkamena.

Twilight nodded quickly. "Yeah. I-I'll obey. I promise."

Pinkamena tapped the knife against her neck, thinking.

"Fine." she finally said. "One more chance."

"Yay!" Scootaloo cheered.

Pinkamena got up and trotted back to the table, leaving Twilight laying on the floor with a gurt splinter.

Scootaloo trotted back downstairs as Derpy laid down at Pinkamena's hooves.

Twilight stared at Derpy, unable to process the fact that she saved her life.
