Twilight upended her backpack, dumping its contents onto the floor of Rainbow Dash's bedroom. Some of it was familiar, expected: books, pencils, folders full of blank paper, and other school supplies. The rest ... wasn't. Twilight's phone was missing-- as was her charging cable, and even the little phone-sized pocket that was on the inside liner of her backpack. Instead, all she found in its place was an abacus: certainly an interesting piece of technology, but an outdated one, and something she knew for a fact that she hadn't put in her backpack to begin with.

The dildo was new as well.

“Oooooh, neat!” Pinkie Pie grabbed the thick, double-ended toy from where it lewdly bounced on the ground, and twirled it around like the world's lewdest set of nunchucks. “Double ended! Can I give it a try?”

“I ... have no idea how that got in there.”

“So your mom just got you a new toy as a surprise and put it in your backpack? Lucky you!” Pinkie Pie flipped the latex cock around and let it rest between her bountiful breasts.

“Okay, really didn't need that image.” Twilight rubbed at the bridge of her nose. “Nevermind the dildo, it's this I'm worried about.” She held up the abacus.

“You're ... going to do your math homework?” Rainbow Dash canted her head to the side.

“No, I'm not! Or, uh, at least not until I figure this dimensional stuff out. Priorities.” Twilight patted the flat of the abacus against the palm of her hand. “What's weird is that slide rules have been out of date for decades. Between this, and the fact that you guys don't know what a cellphone is ... it's like technology is regressing somehow.”

Twilight scrunched her brow in concentration, and made a quick circuit of the room. “Look-- Rainbow's got electrical light, outlets, a radio ... but no computer, no telephone, no television--” she paused as she stopped in front of a bookshelf jammed up into the corner. Twilight stared at a row of trophies, fixating on one in particular. Instead of a soccer ball or a cup at the top of the trophy-pillar, the trophy had a small brass sculpture of two pony-people figures, one straddling the other-- “Is that a sex trophy?”

“Freestyle erotic aerial acrobatics!” Rainbow Dash took to the air (at least as best she could with the ceiling not too far above her) and flexed, showing off her lithe, bared body with no small degree of pride. “Don't you remember, Twilight? You came!”

“I went?”

“No, you came.” Rainbow Dash winked.

“Oh. Oh.” Twilight's cheeks flushed red. “But, uh-- that's beside the point. Because the important takeaway here is that technology seems to have gotten rewound about a century or so--” she paused again. “Wait, what year is it?”

“It's one-thousand and nine.” Rarity said from where she'd nestled herself into Applejack's lap. “Whysoever do you ask?”

“It's what? One thousand and nine? That doesn't make any sense! We should be barely subsisting on an agricultural economy if we were back in the eleventh century!”

“Why ever would that be so?” Rarity blinked. “The centuries since Principal Celestia came to power have been nothing but a steady march of progress.”

“Wait, centuries? Principal Celestia?” Twilight sputtered.

“Well yeah!” Pinkie Pie said. “Principal Celestia has ruled over Canterlot High ever since her sister turned into Nightmare Moon and then they had a big fight and Vice Principal Nightmare Moon got banished to the moon but then she came back and tried to throw the world into darkness but the lucky thing was the rest of us all found the Elements of Harmony and then we zapped her with the friendship laser so she's back to being Vice-Principal Luna again!”

“That doesn't make any sense! For ... like, a dozen different reasons!” Twilight took her glasses off and rubbed at her face. “It's even worse than I thought-- the two dimensions are colliding even more now, to the point where it's not just the people who are changing, but the entire world around them. Don't you see? Wait-- no, of course you don't. Your memories are being overwritten as well. I must be immune because ... of course! I visited the other dimension that's breaching this one before! Which means any other dimensional travelers might also have retained their memories, which means we need to talk to Sunset Shimmer right now.” Twilight shoved her things into her backpack and slung it over one shoulder.

“Why didn't you say so?” Rainbow Dash glided over to her bedroom window and bent over to fiddle with the latch. Her multi-hued tail hiked upward, flagging attention to her tight, round cheeks. Twilight knew Rainbow wasn't showing off (for once), but she stared anyway, licking her lips as she saw the thin blue lips of her friend's pussy, framed by the spank-worthy globes of her ass.

“If we fly hard, we can get there in like fifteen minutes!”

“I, er ... what?” Twilight brought a hand up to her muzzle, even though she was fairly certain she wasn't drooling. Much. “Did you say fly?”

“Of course! Pinkie and Applejack and Rarity can catch up later-- I could get there even faster on my own, but I'll be nice and let you set the pace. Unless you're too slow.”

“But I can't--”

“Sure you can! That's what you got wings for! C'mon!” And with that, Rainbow grabbed Twilight by the wrist and jumped out the window, tugging her along with her.

Twilight screamed.

For a solid minute.

Eventually, Twilight realized that it shouldn't have taken that long to fall from a second story window. She opened her eyes ... and found herself hovering about a dozen feet off of the ground. Sure enough, as she glanced over her shoulder, her wings were beating rhythmically, instinctively holding her in the air. Behind her, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash hovered comfortably, almost angelic in appearance.

“I know you're not as strong a flyer as I am, Twilight, but jeez. You're worse than Fluttershy! Uh-- no offense intended.”

“None taken.” Fluttershy murmured.

“I ... uh ... it's ... been a long day.” Twilight looked down to her hooved feet, then past them to the ground below. “But I can deal with it. We just need to get to Sunset Shimmer's apartment.”

“Whatcha hovering around for, then?” Rainbow Dash turned an eager somersault in midair. “Let's go!”

Flying, Twilight found, was surprisingly enjoyable.

Surprisingly easy, too. Once they got going, all she had to do was keep her wings stretched out to glide on the warm air currents-- currents that Rainbow Dash had an instinctive knowledge of, apparently. The wind tickled over every inch of Twilight's bare form, and despite the altitude, a pleasing warmth coursed through Twilight's body. Though she had to admit at least some of that came from the all-too-enticing sight of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's posteriors ahead of her, almost like the tempting globes were on display only for her. Twilight soon realized there was a subtle difference between the two butts-- Rainbow's was toned and muscular, while Fluttershy's was rounder, softer. Either way, it was as if they were both just waiting for her to grab ahold of one tail or the other and push her face right inbetween--

--Twilight looked down.

Below, the pony-people of town went about their business. Shopping. Exercising. Working.

Fucking.

On a rooftop below, a blonde girl with a grey coat and feathers straddled some lucky, anonymous male. Her wings bounced with each thrust, as did her modest, pink-capped breasts. Even at her altitude, Twilight could hear the vaguely familiar-looking mare's high-pitched squeaks of pleasure. The blonde blinked as she saw Twilight and her friends pass overhead, then raised one hand to wave, cheery and shameless.

She got fucked so hard she went crosseyed, Twilight thought.

Twilight bit her lower lip and forced herself to pay attention to the other goings-on in town. For one, while the layout of the town's streets and buildings looked similar to what she remembered, although ... different. There were power lines, true-- but not as many of them. What was more notable was the utter lack of automobiles-- instead, people got around using red-roofed streetcars that Twilight had never seen in town before. Though there were also various carts and wagons of different sizes and purposes, each drawn by one or more burly ponies in tack and harnesses that looked more ... recreational than practical.

Twilight flew on.

Trying to stay calm, Twilight focused on the town's changing geography. Towards the south of town, a massive, looming forest that certainly wasn't there before blocked off the main approach to the town. Strange calls and cries echoed out from the deep wood, the calls of strange beasts and birds that Twilight couldn't identify-- and certainly didn't want to. Likewise, there were a few places Twilight could only glimpse at the corner of her eye that looked ... fuzzy. Undefined. The eraser-marks left over from a reality that was re-drawing itself with every passing minute.

Finally, the three of them circled down to the ground in front of the apartment building Sunset Shimmer lived in. That much was at least the same-- it was a humble brick building towards the edge of town, balanced right between 'trendy/bohemian' and 'possible code violations.' A small coffeeshop had sprouted up across the street, pushing the place's definition more towards the former. Twilight wasn't quite sure how the various naked pony people roaming about influenced the equation. Nobody (nopony?) gave them a second glance as they went into the building and climbed a few flights of stairs to Sunset's apartment.

“Sunset?” Twilight rapped on the door. “It's us! Please be home!”

“Twilight?” Sunset's voice was muffled. “I, uh-- I can't come out now. I'm ... sick.”

“Let me guess-- you've got the Pony Flu? Or-- wait, no Pony Pneumonia, that's got a better ring to it.”

“What?” Sunset said.

“Okay, bad joke. But it's been a long day. But could you open the door? Please?” Twilight bit the inside of her cheek. “No pressure and all, but, um, the fate of the universe may be at stake?”

Sunset Shimmer opened the door.

Sure enough, she had been pony-ified, along with the rest of the town. Two expressive ears and a little horn poked out of her luxurious red hair, and her face now had a cute muzzle. Her eyes, though-- those were the same.

Sunset Shimmer had wrapped herself in a bedsheet, tying it around one shoulder in a vaguely classical fashion, leaving the other orange shoulder temptingly bare. While meant for modesty, the fabric was thin, clinging to Sunset's hips and chest when she moved. At seeing her three friends in the hallway, Sunset Shimmer gaped. Blushed.

Watching her, Twilight realized what she must have looked like for most of the day.

“Twilight!” Sunset said. “What's going on? Why are you naked? Why am I naked? I just ... woke up like this this morning. As if having hooves and a horn wasn't bad enough, my closet was just ... gone!”

“It's ... complicated. Can we come in?”

“Uh, sure.” Sunset Shimmer stepped back, allowing her three friends to enter.

“I'm ... kind of surprised you're, um, covering up.” Twilight certainly did not look at the valley of cleavage created by Sunset's makeshift toga. “I mean, aren't you from a dimension where everyone's a pony and doesn't need to, uh, get dressed?”

“That's true. But I've been here a long time. And where I'm from, ponies-- people-- –whatever ... they don't have sex out in the open. I tried going outside this morning, but I nearly tripped over my neighbor going down on the mailman-- mail stallion? And, um ... I haven't ventured outside since. I would've called but ... my phone's gone too.”

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy walked in after Twilight, and Sunset gaped at them, too. The fact that Rainbow Dash took the opportunity to pose and flex didn't hurt much, either.

“What's going on?” Sunset said.

“That's what I'm trying to figure out.” Twilight said. “I thiiiink it has to do with that one time I accidentally zapped myself into another dimension full of, well, pony people.” She reached up and tapped her own nose, as if to prove her point. “See, back there, everyone was ... like this.”

“Everyone was naked? And half pony?” Sunset said.

“That's oversimplifying it, but yes.” Twilight paced back and forth in the small apartment. “My going theory is that the dimensional rift didn't fully close, and now it's kind of ... relapsing, I guess? The two realities are merging together. That's why everything is so weird and anachronistic. Certain things are getting, uh ... deleted, maybe? Others are getting overwritten. That's why technology has somehow regressed to roughly early nineteenth century standards. More importantly, that's why most everyone is acting ... differently.”

To prove her point, Twilight nodded to where Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had settled down on the couch. Fluttershy cuddled into the embrace of Rainbow's arms and wings, while Rainbow made no effort of hiding the way her hands intimately, brazenly roamed over Fluttershy's lithe, soft body.

“But!” Twilight turned away, even as she blushed. “My memories haven't changed, since I've actually traveled between dimensions. And since you've come from a different dimension as well, you've stayed the same too.”

“Okay, that follows.” Sunset said, “But, um--”

“What?”

“How come you're not wearing any clothes?”

“Oh. Uh.” Twilight looked down at herself, and bit her lip. The flight out had gotten her pulse racing again, not to mention the thrill of standing there so casually, completely exposed in front of her friend. “When in Rome?” she managed, and shook her head. “But nevermind that-- I'm going to need your help to fix this.”

“How?” Sunset said.

“I'm ... not sure yet. But the good news is, I brought notes?” Twilight unslung her backpack and pulled out her notebooks without revealing the big dildo that was still flopping around at the bottom of her bag. “I'm sure if we work together, we can find a way to change anything back to normal in no time.”

“Hey, uh, question.” Rainbow Dash raised a hand, even as Fluttershy nuzzled in against her neck. “When you say 'normal,' what do you mean? 'cause this is normal.” Rainbow Dash's other hand strayed to one of Fluttershy's perky tits, giving her a squeeze.

“For you, maybe.” Twilight said. “Or, um ... one of you, at least. But back where I'm from, nobody has wings, or horns, or hooves ... and people aren't as, uh ... “ Twilight's cheeks flushed again as she watched Fluttershy squirm. “Friendly?”

“Oh, that sounds terrible.” Fluttershy said, voice even more breathy than usual. She bent her knees, curling more against Rainbow Dash. “Why would you want to make people meaner?”

“Wait, you're saying people don't fly in this other dimension thing? That sucks! You should just leave things like they are!”

“I-- I can't.” Twilight shook her head. “Here's the problem, Rainbow. There's one you that does fly. There's another you that doesn't. Not often, at least. It's complicated. But what's happening here, it's ... it's mashing the two you's together in a way that's not sustainable. The same thing is happening to the rest of the world, and ... well, if it keeps going, there's a very likely chance that there will be some sort of cascade-failure in this layer of space time, which would collapse both dimensions into a state of permanent, maximum entropy.”

“And that's ... bad?” Rainbow Dash said.

“Very.” Sunset Shimmer said. “Here, Twilight, let me see your notes.” The redheaded pony reached out to pluck the notebook out of Twilight's hands. In the process, her fingers brushed the tips of Twilight's--

--and an immediate shock raced through Twilight's nerve endings, traveling up the length of her arm, through her chest, and kindled a fire between her legs. Twilight gasped, staggering back to lean against a bookcase. Her pulse pounded in her ears, while her pussy practically dripped right there on the floor. Twilight reached up to fiddle with her glasses, to pretend everything was normal-- only to see Sunset Shimmer leaning against the side of her couch, panting. Her nipples stiffened beneath the thin fabric of her bedsheet, two hardened points in a sea of gauzy white.

“What ... what was that?” Sunset sputtered.

“I ... I think it was magic.” Twilight said.

“Aw, how romantic.” Fluttershy murmured.

“No, not like that!” Twilight blurted, only to blink a moment later. “I mean, uh-- not that I'm necessarily opposed to ... that ... sort of thing, Sunset. But I meant it literally. Here, may I?”

Sunset nodded, at which point Twilight reached out slowly, gently putting her hand down on Sunset's bare shoulder. Expecting it, this time, Twilight stayed on her feet as she felt a warm, pleasurable sensation wash over her body, simply from that tiny bit of touch. Sunset swallowed hard, then let out a sigh, muzzle hanging open as she too felt the strange effects.

“I ... I think I know what you mean.” Sunset said, even as she unconsciously ground her rump against the side of her couch. “It probably has something to do with how we're the only ones with our memories intact.”

“Mmmhmm.” Twilight pushed herself away before she could let herself lean in to kiss Sunset's softly parted lips. “It's ... exactly that. Which ... may be the way to fix this!” Twilight shook her head, academic enthusiasm enough to overcome her more carnal desires (however temporarily). “Assuming that you and I carry different dimensional energy, then, in theory, combining those two different energies could create a chain reaction that would force the two dimensions apart, at which point they'd return to their default, parallel states. Like opposite charges on magnets, almost. Or maybe two particles in the large hadron collider.”

“More like a large hard-on collider, am I right?” Rainbow Dash chimed in with a suggestive lifting of eyebrows.

“Rainbow.” Sunset Shimmer glared.

“Uh. Actually.” Twilight said. “That's ... the other thing. As, um, as far as I can figure, a lot of magic here has a ... tantric element to it, which means that the easiest way to combine our dimensional energy fields is to, um ... be intimate.” She scratched at the back of her head, and glanced away. “But if you don't want to, I'm sure there's another way--”

“You're saying you want to--” Sunset Shimmer trailed off.

“Only if you want to!” Twilight blurted. “And, um, if it helps, I ... I wouldn't mind being, um ... intimate with you even if multi-dimensional magical physics weren't involved?”

“Oh.” Sunset Shimmer held a hand up to her mouth. “I never knew you felt that way.”

“I ... um ... I didn't know either? Not for sure. Not until now.” Hesitant, she reached out to take one of Sunset's hands, gasping softly as she felt the electric thrill of magic pulse through her fingers at the touch. “But if it's too much, I understand. There has to be another way to save the multiverse apart from the two of us-- mmmf!”

Twilight's babbling explanation was cut short as Sunset pulled her in for a lengthy, passionate kiss. The purple pony melted into the contact, flaring her wings out behind her. After a short, blissful eternity of tasting Sunset's lips, Twilight came up for air. With a strength that she didn't know she had, Twilight took a handful of Sunset's makeshift toga and tore the bedsheet away, revealing her friend's glorious, centerfold worthy body. Twilight stared at Sunset's breasts: round, just a bit large for her otherwise slim figure, and absolutely perfect. Giving into temptation, the purple-haired woman dove into Sunset's chest, savoring the feel of soft bosom on either side of her cheeks.

Sunset Shimmer squeaked.

“Oh!” Twilight immediately stood up, reaching up to adjust her glasses, which had been knocked askew. “Was that too much? I'm sorry, I didn't--”

Sunset Shimmer just smiled. “No, it's fine. Just ... took me by surprise, that's all. You can keep going if you like?”

“I ... I'd like that.” Twilight said, pulling Sunset's body closer to hers once more. She tried to rein herself in, to take things slow, but the flickering warmth that came from every inch of contact between their two bodies soon overwhelmed her. Before she knew it, Twilight had her lips sealed around one of Sunset's tight, thick nipples. She flicked her tongue over the fleshy nub, eliciting heady moans from her redheaded friend, loud enough to even overwhelm Rainbow Dash's enthusiastic catcalls from the couch.

Twilight faintly remembered Rainbow and Fluttershy were watching-- only to realize she didn't care. All that mattered was Sunset Shimmer's perfect, naked body before her. She worked her way downward, nuzzling over Sunset's toned belly, briefly teasing her navel ... and then there she was, eye-level with the flame-red thatch of hair above the folds of Sunset Shimmer's pussy. Twilight stared at those beautiful folds-- but not for long, as she was unable to resist the temptation to taste them. Tentatively, she dragged her tongue up the length of her friend's pussy, earning yet another lusty gasp from Sunset Shimmer.

Taking that as all the encouragement she needed, Twilight pushed her tongue deep between Sunset Shimmer's tight, soaked lips. Whatever anxiety Twilight might have felt due to her inexperience was soon dispelled by the way each pass of her tongue caused Sunset Shimmer to moan and tremble in new and entirely too interesting ways. Twilight scooted her knees apart, settling in to lap and kiss at Sunset Shimmer's pussy 'til she finally had to stop, jaw getting tired.

Twilight rubbed at her chin, then glanced up at her panting, sweaty friend. “Was, uh ... was that good?”

“That was amazing.” Sunset Shimmer said with a giddy little giggle.

“Did you-- you know--”

“Not yet?”

“Ah.” Twilight shivered again, feeling her tail hike and her wings flare by unconscious reflex. “Then, um ... can I try something?”

“You can do anything you want, Twilight.”

“Okay.” Twilight nodded, then reached over to where she'd abandoned her backpack at the end of the couch, only to accidentally brush her hand over Fluttershy's shoulder-- which is when Twilight remembered her other friends were still there.

“Don't mind us?” Fluttershy said from where she'd sprawled out on her back. She had her legs spread, while Rainbow Dash lay on her belly in front of her, muzzle happily buried between Fluttershy's thighs. The athletic blue pegasus didn't bother looking up from her 'work,' but gave a thumbs-up in Twilight's general direction.

“I'll ... keep that in mind.” Twilight forced herself to look away from Fluttershy's stiff nipples, then started rummaging through her bag 'til she found the double-ended dildo that had materialized in there during the dimension-switching.

“Where did you even get that?” Sunset Shimmer asked.

“I'm not sure, but I think I'm glad I did.” Twilight said, licking her lips. “It's ... it's not too much, is it?”

“Just be gentle?” Sunset said.

Twilight nodded, then reached between her own legs-- it didn't take much to slide the toy into her pussy, given how wet she'd gotten just from eating Sunset Shimmer out. She moaned and panted as the dildo filled her ... but, panting, she looked up and waved Sunset Shimmer over. The red-haired unicorn-woman nodded, then slowly settled down to the floor herself, draping her legs over Twilight's thighs as she moved in. Twilight watched with rapt attention as Sunset guided the other end of the toy into her own sex, fascinated by the way the dildo spread Sunset Shimmer's lower lips.

At some unspoken signal, the two women began to work their hips back and forth-- irregular, awkward at first-- only to get into a steady, ongoing rhythm of hips and knees. Twilight opened her mouth to say something-- anything –but only throaty grunts came out as she watched Sunset's chest bounce with each thrust as Twilight fucked her. Fucked herself, for each cycle of push and pull worked the toy in and out of Twilight's pussy as well.

The tiny studio apartment was filled with sound of moaning women, the clap of flesh on flesh, and wetter, lewder sounds still. Operating on previously unknown instincts, Twilight quickened her pace, fucking Sunset Shimmer harder, faster, desperately trying to slake her lust. Heart pounding, sweat beading on her purple coat, Twilight felt her pleasure begin to crest-- she closed her eyes and let the wave of sensation wash over her, rippling through every nerve ending in exquisite, otherworldly pleasure. The sheer, overwhelming pleasure reduced Twilight to a panting, moaning shell, enough to make her vision briefly blank out to a blinding white. Was the world shaking, or was it just her?

Faintly, at the back of her mind, Twilight registered Sunset Shimmer giving her own gasp of ecstasy as she reached a mirroring orgasm.

And like that, the lusty strength drained out of Twilight Sparkle. She collapsed back onto the floor, entire body going contentedly limp. A moment later, post-orgasmic aftershock rippled through her body, enough to make her curl her toes.

Wait.

Toes?

Twilight snapped her eyes open, then looked down the length of her bare leg ... to the five little toes at the end of her foot. She blinked, then sat up, running her hands over herself. She was sweaty. Sticky. Naked. But human. No horn. No hooves. No tail. No wings. No muzzle. A quick glance at Sunset's bared body showed the same result-- even if she was no less gorgeous in human form.

“Yes! We did it!” Twilight slid the dildo out of her pussy and bounced to her feet in triumph.

“I'll say.” Rainbow Dash said.

Twilight blinked. Turned around. And there were Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy-- again, human. But dressed. Blushing. Staring.

“What ... what just happened?” Fluttershy murmured, a rosy blush tinting her cheeks.

Twilight thought about covering up, but didn't bother-- her friends had already seen everything anyway. “I ... uh ... I know this looks bad, but--”

“BUTTS!” Pinkie Pie said, opening the door behind Twilight Sparkle. Applejack and Rarity walked in behind her, staring in shock at the lewd tableau before them.

“--at least everyone's here so I can explain at once?” Twilight ventured.

“You do that.” Sunset Shimmer murmured as she pulled the sheet around herself once more.

“Oh oh oh! Lemme guess! You and Sunset Shimmer had to get naked and do some kind of cool sex-magic-thing to save the world and now you've returned to this plane of reality and that's why you two are in your birthday suits and the rest of us are confused but also kind of horny 'cause seriously we heard you guys going at it and it sounded really hot!” Pinkie Pie bounced on the balls of her feet, causing her heavy chest to wobble enthusiastically.

“That .... is surprisingly accurate.” Twilight peered at Pinkie. “How did you know?”

“Just a hunch!”

“Wouldn't be the weirdest thing that's happened to me today.” Twilight sighed.

“So is that it?” Sunset Shimmer stood up, glancing around. “Is everything back to normal now?”

“Normal enough?” Twilight said, giving a quick scan of Sunset's apartment-- noting the television in one corner, and the laptop left on an end table. “I mean, nobody's a pony? And the world seems to be back to normal. And I haven't felt any residual side effects from the magic, so ... I guess that's it, then. And the only reason you and I are naked, Sunset, is because we were both the catalyst for the magic, and ... yeah. Which means we'd better get dressed, I guess?” Twilight felt an odd pang of disappointment at the prospect.

“You could get dressed.” Pinkie Pie said-- then reached down to grab the hem of her T-shirt, tugging it up and over her head in a smooth, practiced movement, freeing her large, bra-less tits with no small degree of bouncing. “Or the rest of us could just get naked! No fair doing all the sexy sex-magic without us, you know! Especially when the world's in danger!”

Twilight's jaw dropped. “It's ... it's not in danger anymore?”

“Are you sure?” Fluttershy said, already pushing her skirt and panties down the long length of her legs.

“Fluttershy's right. Reckon it's better safe than sorry, y'know?” Applejack sat down on the edge of the couch and started the process of tugging her cowgirl boots off.

“Mmmm. Must one be entirely skyclad for the ritual?” Rarity languidly unbuttoned her blouse, revealing the lacy black of her bra beneath. “As I'm wearing some of my favorite garters at the moment.”

“Psssh, who cares about your underwear so long as we can get to the fun parts?” Rainbow Dash had somehow completely stripped in under the span of ten seconds, and was already looking over her friends with a hungry, playful look.

“Okay, so there are some side effects.” Twilight Sparkle said, even as her heart began to beat harder in her chest. “But it's nothing that we can't figure out. I'm sure.”

Twilight looked forward to it.
