In a bright sunny field on a warm summer day, Verdant Range was happily running through the fresh grass and sending dandelion fluff flying when the green stallion saw a large lake coming up in front of him.

“Cannonball!” the excited stallion screamed before leaping into the air and making a mighty splash as he struck the water.

When he resurfaced, the giddy stallion splashed about before falling into a slow and pleasant backstroke.

“Enjoying your swim, Verdant?” a voice came from the bank. Turning his head, he saw the form of Princess Luna sitting by the lake’s edge.

“Good evening, Princess.” Verdant gave the alicorn a wave as he floated along. “I was kinda expecting to see you in my dreams a lot sooner.”

“And I apologise for that, my good stallion.” Luna dipped her hoof in the cool water, twirling it about while avoiding the stallion’s eyes. “Unfortunately, a number of theatres mistook a film about an ice princess with a horror film of the same name, so I’ve had to work overtime to cure those nightmares.”

“Meanwhile, my nightmares have only been while I’m awake since I’VE SPENT THE LAST THREE MONTHS INSIDE YOUR SISTER’S STOMACH!” Verdant shouted and angrily swatted at the water. “I’m… I’m sorry about that, Princess. I shouldn’t-”

“Do not apologise, Verdant.” The princess held up a hoof, silencing the shamrock stallion. “It’s partly my fault you’re in the predicament and Raven and I are working on ways to free you from the depths of my sister’s innards.”

“Hope these plans work, your highness.” Verdant doggy paddled towards the lake’s edge. “I’ve been trying to get out of her since day one and I’ve got nothing.”

“Rest assured, we will try to free you every night until you are out.” Luna held a hoof out for Verdant, which he graciously accepted before she pulled him from the water.

“And?” Verdant tilted his head, a knowing eyebrow cocked as he looked into the taller mare’s eyes.

After a moment, Luna gave a tired sigh. “And we shall see to it that you receive a fair amount from workhorse compensation, along with your time within counting as work hours.

“Thank you, princess.” Verdant grinned as he gave Luna a sweeping bow. As he stood back up, the world around them started to shake all around them.

“I assume that’s Celestia waking up, which means you’ll wake shortly,” Luna said as the bright blue sky started to turn a fleshy pink.

“Most likely.” Verdant saw the ground the two stood on slowly started to break away and fall into the now green lake. “Hopefully I’ll see you later, Princess.”

“Mark my words, you shall be freed, my little pony.” Luna flew up just before the ground broke away, sending Verdant falling into the lake of stomach juices. “Plan A goes into effect now!”

In a flash of light, Luna vanished as the skies became the fleshy walls that matched his real current home.

Luna eyes shot open just before she darted out of her bed chambers. As she trotted down the palace hallway, Raven spotted her and quick dashed up to her side.

“Did it work, Princess?” Raven struggled to keep pace with the alicorn as she they towards the palace dining room.

“Yes, Raven. We were able to contact him in his dreams. Now all we have to do is get him out and we can put this nightmare behind us.” Luna grinned as they came to the dining room. With a flash of her horn, the doors were tossed open, a loud boom echoing through the halls when they struck the walls.

“That would be wonderful,” Raven happily sighed as Luna took a seat at the magnificent table. “No more nightmares of a pony being digested. No more squashing rumors about Princess Celestia’s ‘Magic Talking Stomach’.”

“And I already have a plan to get that stallion out,” Luna grinned as the doors on the far side of the room started to slowly open. “Show time,” the alicorn of the night whispered as her sister slowly dragged herself into the room.

“G’morning, Luna,” Celestia yawned as her belly swayed heavily before she took a seat at the table. “How are things by you?”

“Quite well, dear sister.” Luna grinned between taking sips of her mimosa. “I was just thinking of something to do later tonight.”

“Oh?” Celestia’s eyebrow rose as her horn lit, lifting a mouth full of pancake up to her mouth. “Do tell,” she asked just before taking a bite.

“Well, I was thinking we have a night of watching movies and enjoying a wide assortment of spirits.” Luna said before having a bite of fresh pineapple.

“Hmm… that does sound fun…” Celestia rubbed a hoof against her chin. “But won’t that mean you’ll miss night court?”

“Worry not, Sister.” Luna laughed and casually waved. “I already had Raven schedule a night clear so we can have some sisterly fun. What do you say?”

“Alright, that sounds like a wonderful plan.” The princess of the day nodded before looking down at her belly. “What about you, Stomach? What do you think of it?”

“As long as you don’t lay on me and have some popcorn, I’m totally in favor of this.” Verdant’s voice came from the alicorn’s round belly, making the two alicorns grin, though for very for different reasons.

“Phase one is now complete,” Luna whispered to Raven, smiling before downing her drink.

The day seemed to zoom by for the excited sisters as the two settled onto some large cushions in Celestia’s bed chamber. A projector had been set up between the pair with a screen across the room.

“This feels so nice,” Celestia hummed as she leaned back into one of the fluffy pillows. “So Luna, what’s the first film on tonight’s agenda?”

“Well Celestia, I thought it would be a good idea to see what movies are popular with our ponies these days, so I decided to make it a superhero movie marathon tonight.”

“Ooh! I’d love to see some of those new superhero movies.” Celestia grinned like a foal in a candy store as she clapped her hooves together. “Can we start with that new Pony Rangers movie?”

“Hold on, dear sister,” Luna’s horn flared to life before a stack of film canisters and a top hat appeared in between them. “I’ve set up a random draw for the films, along with a drinking game to go with each film to make things more fun.”

“Very nice, Luna.” Celestia grinned as she pulled the hat towards in her her golden magical aura. The magic briefly fished around inside the hat before pulling out a small piece of paper. She brought the slip up to her face, making expression fall like an airship made of lead. “Batmare V Aquamare: Prawn of Justice - Supreme Edition.” Celestia sighed before she tossed the paper at Luna.

“Don’t forget we’ve also got a drinking game to go with this film, Sister.” Luna’s magic picked up the paper, allowing her to closely examine it. “Take a shot ever time someone says ‘Marshall’.” She recited before she set the paper down.

“Well, let’s get this movie going.” Celestia groaned as she leaned back into her pillows. “What do we have for drinks tonight?”

“I thought we’d start with something small… a few bottle of finely aged wine from the Bianco Vineyard.” Luna levitated a trio of wine bottles and a set of shot glasses in between the two of them. “After that, I thought we’d move on to this bottle of Pepper Belle’s spiced rum.” The second bottle of liquor appeared in a flash next to the wine.

“Alright, sounds good,” the frown on Celestia’s face quickly turned into a smile as her horn started to glow once more, setting the film on the projector. “Let’s go!”

An hour into the film, the three wine bottles were completely drained. Luna was laughing at a scene in the movie with a slight blush upon her face while Celestia looked in perplexment at the empty bottle.

“I don’t get it,” Celestia rubbed a hoof against her chin. “I had a ton of wine, but I barely feel anything.”

Down in the solar alicorn’s stomach, Verdant was struggling to keep himself from drowning. The level of wine had completely covered him, causing him to drink a good deal of the wine himself. The stallion felt the world spin around him, followed by the level of wine being lowered to his neck.

“Hey brother, pour the wine!” Verdant drunkenly sang as he leaned against the stomach’s wall.

“Sorry, MTS, but we’re all out,” Celestia replied as her magic uncapped the first of the rum bottles. “Still, got something a little stronger than that.”

“Shishter,” Luna leaned into Celestia’s side as she slurred. “I love you.”

“D’aww, I love you too, Luna.” The elder mare poured a round for herself and Luna just as another cry of ‘Marshall’ came from the film. “Bottoms up!”

Luna groaned as wakefulness slowly came to her. Her head felt like it was being split apart with a giant battleaxe as the chirping of birds was like cannon fire in her sensitive ears.

The only comfort was rubbing her face against the soft pillow her head rested upon. After a few moments of savoring the softness, she noticed some things that felt odd. The pillow seemed to have a layer of fuzz over its surface.

That alone would not seem too odd, but the warmth that emanated from it combined with that certainly did.

As wakefulness slowly started to let her mind to overcome the haziness of sleep, she noticed an odd taste in her mouth. She had trouble placing it. The closest she could recall was a seafood buffet that she had sampled when having a meal with the griffin ambassador.

Luna pushed those thoughts aside as she pressed her head harder against the pillow. Bah! I shouldn’t worry about that. Tis Celestia’s time of day to handle. Hopefully the liquor was enough to make her sick enough to bring that stallion back up.

The night princess’ thoughts were halted when she noticed her pressing into the pillow felt strange. Rather than the compression of laying her head upon a pillow filled with fine down, what she laid upon seemed to squish underneath her.

Luna slowly pulled away and opened her eyes. The only light in the room was the smoldering embers in the nearby fireplace.

As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she was horrified to find where she was. What she thought was a pillow was Celestia’s soft belly, with the younger alicorn resting in between her sister’s thick legs.

“No…” Luna whispered as all the color in her face drained away in a flash. “We couldn’t have…”

“You did,” Verdant’s voice came from the slumbering Celestia’s swollen stomach. “When you said you loved each other, you really meant it.”

“Mother of Zacherle…” the pale blue on Luna’s face was quickly overtaken by a sickly green.

“Say, with me in here, would you say that counts as a threesome?” Verdant asked just as Luna had stumbled out of the bed and bolted away to the bathroom.

The sound of violent retching from that royal water closet had awoken Princess Celestia. The princess of the day rose with a stretch and a yawn before turning her focus to the source of the sound. “Oh my. Sounds like Luna can’t hold her liquor as well as me.”

“Not that surprising really, considering how tall you are.” Verdant chipped in as Celestia clambered out of bed.

“Hmm…” Celestia hummed as she noticed an odd taste in her mouth and feeling in her hindlegs. “Stomach, did Luna and I invite a stallion to bed last night? It kinda feels like it.” She then tittered before she started to stretch. “Honestly, it’s just been a very long time since I last had a stallion inside me.”

Verdant merely rolled his eyes at the princess’s ironic words.

“Alright,” Luna sat at a seat in the dreamscape that took the form of a fancy prench restaurant, rubbing her temples as she talked. “Plan A had some problems.”

“Yeah,” Verdant took a sip from his dream strawberry milkshake. “Who could have possibly foreseen that the single biggest mare in the world could handle more alcohol than a smaller pony?” he said with jovial sarcasm. “Maybe next time, you should run the plan by me first. That way, we could possibly find some holes in it.”

“Very well,” Luna sighed as she sipped from a cup of non-existent coffee. “Well, I have Plan B set to go, and it’s something much less likely to fail.”

“I’m all ears, Princess.” Verdant gave a grin as he leaned back in his chair. “What’s the plan?”

“Tis quite simple, my little pony.” A cocky smile came from Luna as she thrust a foreleg into the air. “I will have place some laxatives in Celestia’s food. As long as you don’t eat the pills, you should be out faster than you could say ‘Chocolate Waterfall’.”

“I’ve heard of that brand. Heard they work pretty well.” Verdant kicked up his hindlegs and set them on the table. “Can’t wait to see how this fails,” the verdant pony muttered as Luna slipped out of her seat.

“PLAN B SHALL COMMENCE IMMEDIATELY!” Luna bellowed in the Royal Canterlot voice, blasting the earth pony from his seat and sending him tumbling down the dreamy street.

Celestia yawned as she strolled into the dining hall, meeting seeing Luna with a warm smile on her face.

“Good morning, Sister!” Luna called out with a wave as Celestia took a seat at her side. “I have had a special breakfast prepared for you today.”

“Do tell, Luna,” Celestia gave Luna a tender smile as she patted her belly. “I’m sure I and my stomach will enjoy whatever surprise you have for us. Right, Stomach?”

“Of course I will,” Verdant replied as Celestia unwittingly patted his head.

“So, what’s the surprise, Luna?” Celestia lightly bounced in her chair, causing the wooden seat to creak under the ton of alicorn.

“I have prepared pancakes with chocolate candies mixed in, just for you.” Luna’s horn gently glowed as a silver platter with a stack of fresh, steaming pancakes appear in from the alabaster mare.

“Hmm…” Celestia leaned in close the delicious looking breakfast, savoring the scent of the freshly cooked treat and licking her lips. “Thank you, Luna. Would you like to have some as well?”

“No thank you, Sister,” Luna replied before faking a yawn. “I would normally love to, but I think I’ll just have a few strips of hay bacon before going to bed. Still, I hope you enjoy the pancakes.”

“Oh I promise you, Luna. There’s no way I wouldn’t.” Celestia grinned widely behind she began to dig in, saving the soft texture of the the pancake contrasting the crunch of the “candies”.

As Celestia indulged in her breakfast, Luna smirked as she watched mouthful after mouthful was sent down her sister’s throat. While the older sister was devouring her meal with wild abandon, Luna quietly slipped away, a few strips of hay bacon floating along in her magical aura.

Luna grinned as she sat upon the throne for Night Court, Raven coming up to her side. “So, what’s on the agenda for tonight, Raven? Another slow night?”

“I’m afraid not, Princess,” Raven adjusted her spectacles as she examined our clipboard. “We actually have a really busy night ahead of us.”

“That’s… appreciated but odd.” Luna’s eyebrow quirked as she gazed at her assistant. “Is there a reason for the surprise influx?”

“Yes, actually. Apparently, Celestia had to postpone all her meetings for today due to a sudden bout of diarrhea.”

“Of course,” Luna sighed as she rubbed her rubbed the sides of her forehead. “What of the status of Verdant?”

“Still stuck, your highness.”

“Fantastic,” Luna grumbled and slouched in the throne. “Well, at least I have some ponies to distract me from this failure. How many do I have to tend to tonight?”

“Let’s see,” Raven’s eyes rapidly darted across her clipboard, tallying up the pony names. “One hundred and sixty-four.”

“I…What?!” Luna squeaked in surprised before groaning and laying back in her seat. “I have only myself to blame for this. Prepare a pot of coffee, Raven. This shall be a long night.”

“Well, that was a total bust,” Verdant said as he ducked for cover behind a concrete slab in his dreamscape, now a war torn city with dark skies and ruined buildings.

“Indeed, but Plan C shall be the one I know will set you free!” Luna peeked over the cover, spotting armored pegasi with strange, cannon-like devices at their sides and mechanical scorpion tails. The princess ducked back down to avoid a hail of projectiles that they launched at her.

“Hopefully, it’s not something that involves your sister’s butt,” Verdant shouted as he pulled what Luna thought was a silver apple from his saddlebags. The stallion quickly pulled the stem out with his teeth and tossed the apple into the crowd, where it exploded into a massive ball of fire. “It’s the least preferred way to get out.”

“No worries, my little pony. Our plan will not involve her rear at all!” Luna called out just as one of the pegasi leapt over the barricade and tried to jam its stinger into the princess’ face. The alicorn just barely managed to duck her head to the side before blasting the pegasus away.

“Well, how are you gonna get me out this time?” Verdant pulled out a miniature cannon similar to the ones the pegasi had, quickly rising over the cover and firing at the oncoming enemies.

“We’ll show her terrible movies, the worst we can find.” Luna winced as a shot from the enemy knocked her crown from her head.

Verdant smirked as he took down another pegasus. “Will she have to sit and watch them all as you monitor her mind?”

“Well, we’ll have her watch this in hopes of making her sick.” Luna leapt away from the cover just as another pegasus landed where she was just an instant before. With a deft blast of magic, the pegasus was sent hurtling into the deep grey skies. “The movies we shall show her will be so disgusting that she will be retching in a matter of moments.”

“Well, good luck with that.” Verdant’s eyes rolled as he ducked back behind his cover, reloading his weapon.

“Plan C is a go!” Luna stood proudly as she shouted, only for the pegasus forces to turn her to swiss cheese a moment later.

“I’m glad you’ve set up another movie marathon for us, Luna.” Celestia grinned as she laid down on her plush bedroom carpet. “To be honest, after all we drank, I can’t really remember what happened that night.”

“I wish I did,” Luna grumbled as she set up the projector, putting a film reel with the words, ‘Two Mares, One Cup’ into the machine.

“Hey, remember our agreement, Celestia?” Verdant called out, making the alabaster alicorn quickly move into a sitting position.

“Sorry, MTS. It slipped my mind.” Celestia blushed as Luna took her place at her side. With a quick swatting of her hoof, the film had started to play.

This is it! This plan is foolproof! Luna grinned as her sister draped a wing over her back. There’s no way she won’t retch from these films!

“Oh, hey! I remember this film,” Celestia giddily said, much to Luna’s horror. The look on the lunar princess’ face fell like as lead balloon as Celestia was completely unaffected by the disgusting debauchery onscreen. “Fancy Pants showed me this at a party of his a few years ago.”

Damnation! What will it take to make her sick?! Luna rubbed her chin in frustrated confusion. Perhaps the Equine Centipede movies will be enough.

Celestia was laughing her flank off at the sights unfolding on screen, barely able to wolf down more of her popcorn. “Did you see those effects?! Oh dear Faust, who got paid for such shoddy work?” The bag of popcorn that floated in her magical aura slowly moved its way under Luna’s nose. “Want some, sis?”

“No thank you,” Luna replied as she gently pushed the bag back. While Celestia couldn’t see it due to the darkness of the room and her eyes being locked onto the screen, the night princess’s coat was turning from a deep blue to a sickly green.

What depraved artists has Equestria birthed in our absence? What vile creatures could find this sort of filth to be entertaining?

A loud bought of laughter came from the mare at Luna’s side as she slapped her hindleg in her delight. “You are ze meedle piece! Ahahaahah!”

What has this world come to? Luna rolled her eyes before she slapped a fore hoof against her face. Plan C is officially a bust.

“Verdant, I have OH DEAR FAUST!” Luna covered her eyes as she entered the dreamscape once more, finding Verdant in a red smoking jacket in a large bed, cuddled by her sister on his right and a duplicate of herself on his left.

“Well, um…” Verdant blushed and tried to look away from the now fuming alicorn. “Let’s be honest, this is not the worst thing you’ve seen ponies do in dreams with you or your sister.”

The princess of the night glared daggers at him before her expression slowly started to soften.

“Sadly, that’s very, very true,” Luna said with a shudder before approaching the bed. “At any rate, we have another plan set to go. This will surely make my sister throw you back up.”

“Are you going to give her some ipecac?” Verdant asked as the alabaster alicorn nuzzled against her neck.

“No, we have decided not to attempt poisoning her anymore. Not after last time.” Luna laid back as she faced the lounging stallion. “Instead, we shall be taking her to a fair. She will indulge in a fair amount of snacks and treats before we take her on an intense ride, thus you shall finally be ejected.”

Verdant kept from making eye contact with Luna has her doppleganger draped a wing over him. “I’m not so sure about this, Princess,” Verdant softly replied as the dream figures drew closer, making him the middle of an alicorn sandwich. “I’ve tried to escape that way a bunch of times before. What makes you so certain it’ll work?”

“Oh ho ho, my little pony of little faith, we have seen how Celestia handles such rides before,” Luna grinned wickedly and she rubbed her hooves together. “She may put on a brave face, but her with a belly full of snacks and a ride upon the fairgrounds creates a disgusting cascade the likes of which very few have ever seen and fewer wish they had.”

“Alrighty,” Verdant said with a sigh as a white wing stretched across Luna’s duplicate. “Here’s hoping this plan works, Princess.”

“Rest assured, it will,” Luna giddily said as she hopped off the bed. “Now, I shall leave you to continue whatever perverted fantasies you may have. Farewell!”

In a flash of azure light, Luna had vanished without a trace, likely off to aid another pony in their dreams.

“Hmm… Should I have told Luna she might want to bring a rain slicker for that?” Verdant became to rub his chin just before the mares at his side both started to nibble upon his ears. “Mmm, she’ll be fine. Meanwhile,” he brought his forelegs to the two’s backs, drawing them ever closer, “I’m about to have the best night ever.”

“This is the worst day ever!” Verdant quietly grumbled to himself, making sure neither the sun princess nor the ponies outside heard anything.

Deep within Celestia’s stomach, Verdant was sitting in a massive slush that was once, from what he could tell, popcorn, soda, cotton candy, chocolate covered hay bacon strips, corn dogs, and a small salad with a light dressing.

The stallion sighed as he sat in the sickening stew, having his head being drenched as Celestia chugged down her family sized big gulp full of diet orange soda.

“Either this plan works flawlessly, or Luna’d better suffer for this,” Verdant muttered as another glob of former corndog landed upon his face.

Celestia and Luna were having a blast as they went about the local fair, playing the games, seeing the sights and, especially in Celestia’s case, partaking in the delightful carnival food.

“Is this not a most excellent way to spend our day off, Celestia?” Luna merrily said as she looked up to her big sister, finishing off what had to be her sixth corn dog at the very least.

“It sure is, Luna,” Celestia grinned like a schoolfilly before covering her mouth, suppressing a belch that otherwise would have shattered nearby windows. “Can we go on some rides next? I’d love to play on the bumper cars.”

“Hmm…” Luna raised a hoof to her chin, pretending to be deep in thought while her sister gave her the puppy dog eyes. “Alright, but I get first choice of ride to go on.”

“Sure thing, Luna.” Celestia’s featured quickly morphed back to her usual giddy self. “Pick whichever you’d like.”

“In that case,” Luna’s tone became oddly sinister to Celestia before the younger alicorn’s hoof shot out, pointing directly at the biggest roller coaster in the fair. “I choose this one! The Ultimate Rocket!”

“Oh, I see,” Celestia put on a courageous face, the only signs of fear visible only to Luna. “That sounds lovely, Luna. Let’s go.”

A few minutes passed before the two reached the front of the line. To Luna’s delight, she saw that the seats they would have would be the ones for the very end of the ride, where the gravitational forces would be the most intense.

“Welcome aboard The Ultimate Rocket,” the attendant said as the princesses stepped forward. “Plus keep your hooves inside the…” her words died in her throat as she saw the state of Celestia’s swollen stomach.

“What’s wrong, miss?” Celestia was perplexed as Luna slipped into her seat.

“Um… Princess Celestia…” the attendant was sweating bullets before the towering alicorn. “This ride is not safe for pregnant mares to go on.”

Princess Celestia huffed, trying to keep her temper in check as she took a seat next to Luna. “I’m not pregnant. This,” she gave her belly a jab, shaking the pony within around, “is the result of too much cake.”

While the princesses were being strapped in for the ride, a worrying thought occurred to Verdant.

Wait… what safety restraints do I have? And if the princess throws me up, where the hay will I land?!

A chill of panic went up Verdant’s spine as he felt the ride lurch forward, carrying the ponies on it up a steep incline.

“Luna,” Celestia looked about nervously as the top drew ever closer. “How intense will this ride be?”

“The most intense, my sister!” Luna exclaimed with glee, her face quickly taking on a wide, toothy grin. “This is the greatest roller coaster ponies have ever created, sporting twenty-eight loops and sixty hairpin turns. This shall be a ride will shall never forget!”

Celestia began to sweat profusely as the carriage reached the top, the cars holding at the top for a brief moment before they were rocketed down towards the ground.

“Yes! Yes!” Luna joyfully shouted as they took several sharp turn and went through two loops. “This is the greatest ride ever!”

“Yeah,” Celestia replied weakly and sarcastically as her coat quickly became as green as grass. “Just peachy…”

“What’s the problem, sister?” Luna asked with faux concern. “Can’t handle it?”

“N-no… I…” Celestia’s eyes bulged out as she felt something rushing up her throat. Luna could only look on in horror as her sister failed to look away from her.

Luna diligently scrubbed every part of her coat as steaming hot water from the shower washed over.

“So, I guess Plan D was yet another failure,” Raven’s voice called out from outside the princess’ bathroom.

Luna shuddered as she turned off the shower, likely using up all the hot water in the palace. “Verily. We are fortunate that neither the park or the patrons who my sister ‘coated’ decided not to ask for some kind of repayment.” With a brief instance of magic, the water on Luna’s coat quickly evaporated just as she left the bathroom, Raven quickly falling into step behind the steaming alicorn.

“Do you have a Plan E for Verdant’s escape yet?” the unicorn mare asked as she tried to keep pace with the princess, following her out into a palace hallway.

“Yes, I do in fact!” Luna spun around to face her assistant, a mad grin spreading across her face as her right eye twitched. “Plan E is my most brilliant plan yet!”

“W-what’s that, Princess?” Raven swallowed hard as the princess crept closer to her, a midnight blue snout nearly touching her alabaster one.

“First, we shall construct a new cake!” Luna said as her nose bumped into Raven’s making the unicorn nervously back away. “Then, we shall have you hide within the delicious dessert. Once you’re inside, we shall present the cake to my sister. After she swallows you and the cake whole, you will simply grab on to Verdant and teleport the two of you out!” Luna started to cackle madly, not seeing Raven sweating or her pupils becoming the size of pinpricks behind her spectacles.

“Oh… well…” Raven quickly glanced around the hallway, “I… I would be honored to partake in this mission to rescue LOOKADEADBIRD!” she exclaimed and pointed behind the princess of the night.

Luna looked away for an instant at where Raven was pointing, only seeing a long stretch of empty hallway. Before she could spot anything out of the ordinary, the sound of nearby glass shattering reached her ears.

Swiftly looking back, Luna saw that Raven was gone, in her place was a large hole in the window. Gazing out, Luna spotted a white unicorn sporting a few scratches running away as fast as her legs could carry her.

“Coward!” Luna shouted out the broken window before sighing and turning away. “Fine! I’ll go straight to Plan F instead.”

In the dreamscape, Verdant was waiting patiently for the princess’ appearance in the middle of a wide park, the lone pony sitting on a swing. Right on time, she appeared in front of him in a flash of blue. The green stallion could immediately tell that something was off about the mare of the night. Her coat was now somewhat frazzled and ruffled while her ethereal mane somehow managed to look wild and tangled.

“Greetings, my little pony,” Luna sported a mad grin as she trotted up Verdant, her eye twitching the whole time. “The time has come for the plan to finally release you!”

“Okay,” Verdant nervously smiled when the princess brought her face right next to his. “W-what’s the plan this time?”

“It’s the greatest plan ever conjured by pony!” Luna shouted in the Royal Canterlot voice, knocking the stallion from the swing and sending him tumbling across the grass. “We shall have Celestia devour humongous quantities in food to push you out of her stomach, forcing you to move through her and finally exit through her bowels! It’s brilliant, brilliant, brilliant I tell you! Genius, I say!”

“B-but, princess!” Verdant scrambled onto his hooves, his voice trembling as he righted himself. “What if I get buried? Or suffocate, or-”

“SILENCE!” Luna bellowed as her twitching eyes glowed with a terrifying white light, the Royal Canterlot Shout launching the shamrock stallion through the the side of a tree. “WE DO NOT NEED THY CONSULTATION! WE SHALT COMMENCE OUR PLAN IMMEDIATELY!”

In a thunderous crack, the princess vanished from the dreamscape, leaving a groaning Verdant to pick himself up.

“Luna, do I really need to do this?” Celestia whispered as she took her seat in front of a large table. A large outdoor event was being arranged with several other ponies busily stacking large piles of food on the table.

“But of course, Sister!” Luna from behind her, a large grin gracing her features. “This is a magnificent charity! For every plate of food you finish, more money will be donated to the Paradise Estate Orphanage! If there’s any mare who could raise a ton of funds for the orphans, it’s you!”

“But can’t I just allocate bits to go to the orphanage?” Celestia winced as a bowl that was larger than the average mare full of mashed potatoes was placed on the table, making the metal legs groan. “You know I’m trying to lose weight.”

“But Sister,” Luna mustered the cutest pout she could, dealing a massive blow to Celestia’s resistance. “The poor little orphans wanted to see a show of their princess going through a great trial to win a great prize for them. You don’t want to disappoint the little children, do you?”

“No,” Celestia answered with a sigh. Luna could feel the last of her sister’s resistance crumbling to dust. “Well, I might as well get this over with.”

“Excellent!” the princess of the night flew into the air, facing the crowd. “Citizens of Equestria, are you ready to see your princess put her waistline on the line to help out the little foals of Paradise Estate?”

A roar of cheers and applause echoed forth from the crowd, many eager to watch the coming display.”

“Then let the gorging begin!”

Within the stomach, Verdant had braced himself for the upcoming onslaught. The small stallion had ducked and covered, keeping his snout close the the lower valve.

Please, Faust. I beg that Luna’s plan works and gets me out of here quickly.

Verdant shuddered as he felt something plopping down onto his back. From the texture and smell, the substance was likely mashed potatoes.

After a few moments, far more food began to rain down upon him. At first it wasn’t so bad, but now the weight and pressure was becoming quite the strain on him. It was only because of how he had covered his head that he was even able to breathe, just barely.

The princess’s stomach gave several hard clenches around Verdant and the pile that was weighing down upon him. With a harder clench, Verdant’s snout was pushed through the valve, slipping into her duodenum.

More and more food flooded into the royal belly until the pressure started to push the stallion further into the princess’s body.

Luna was relaxing happily in her bedroom, sipping a mimosa through a crazy straw.

For the first time in a while, the princess of the night was content. She had gotten confirmation that Verdant was no longer in Celestia’s stomach and if things went according to plan, he would finally be out some time tonight if he wasn’t already.

In a burst of bright light, Celestia had appeared at the night princess’ side. “Good evening, Luna. How are you doing?”

“Most splendidly, my dear sister,” Luna cheerfully replied as she set her drink aside. “And how are you this fine evening?”

“Eh, could be worse,” Celestia answered with a shrug as she sat down. “Honestly, the worst thing I can really complain about right now’s this terrible case of constipation I have.”

“T.M.I., Sister…” the dark alicorn voice slowly died in her throat as she process her sister’s words. “Oh dear…”

“Eh, it’s not too terrible,” Celestia leaned Luna’s bed as she flippantly replied. “I’m sure it will pass. It’s just a bit uncomfortable when you have this and need to spend hours on the throne.”

“Y-yes. Indeed.” Luna swallowed as her coat quickly started to match her sister’s. Maybe… Maybe it’s not as bad as I think.

With an azure flash, Luna appeared in Verdant’s dreamscape once more, now taking the form of an ancient stone temple. The princess tried to put on a brave face as she searched for the missing stallion.

After a few moments of search, she had found the gardener was wrapped up in a giant, purple cobra creature’s coils; the intimidating serpent gave the stallion a crushing squeeze.

“Greetings, Verdant,” Luna galloped up to the squished stallion. “How are you?”

“Eh, good news, bad news,” the emerald pony calmly wheezed as the snake gave him another tight squeeze. “The good news is after several months, I’ve finally seen the light of day again.

“The bad news is that I had to see it through your sister’s tail hole!” Verdant’s voice suddenly shifted to a furious bellow as he glared daggers at the alicorn.

Luna winced at the stallion’s shout. “My apologies, Verdant. I will do what I can to think of way to get you out as soon as possible.

“Hopefully,” Verdant pouted as he looked away. “You do not want to know what I’m feeling all around me right now.”

A tinge of green came to Luna’s face at the mental image of Verdant’s current conditions.

“Well, rest assured; I shall think of ways to get you out throughout the night!”

Dawn had just broke and Luna was doing what she had been doing for the past hour and a half; staring at a blank piece of parchment.

“This is unbelievable,” Luna grumbled, rubbing her temples with a huff. “How could I not think of a way to get that stallion through the last leg of his journey?”

A pair of loud knocks came from the princess’ bedroom door.

“Luna?” the voice of her elder sister came from behind the thick entryway. “Would you like to come to breakfast?”

“Oh!” Celestia’s voiced startled the blue mare, knocking her from her chair. As she straightened herself out, she saw that the sun had been raised while she had been trying to plot. “Yes! Coming, Celestia.”

Luna quickly adjusting her vestments before opening the door just a smidge and slipping out through the narrow gap.

“How are you this fine morning, Celestia?” Luna inquired, trying to sound perky while masking how tired she truly was.

“Same old, same old,” Celestia replied as the two started to trot down the hall. “Raven’s recovering nicely. But other than that, it’s pretty much-”

The elder mare was silenced as a crackle of magic was heard above her. Looking up, she saw a letter with Twilight Sparkle’s seal upon it.

With an interested hum, Celestia unfurled the letter and began to read aloud. “Dear Princess Celestia. We had quite the strange anomaly this morning. A large trio of dragonesses suddenly appeared in Ponyville, causing a bit of a panic. They said they were from another dimension before heading off to Canterlot, saying she wished to speak to a princess whose name she recognized.

“I hope things go well for everypony in Canterlot with these three. Signed, Twilight Sparkle.”

“This could be quite the challenge, sister,” Luna said as she put hoof on her sister’s shoulder.

“Oh, don’t worry. I’m pretty sure we can handle any dragons that show up here.” Celestia smirked as her horn began glowing with a golden radiance. In an instant, the two sisters were now standing in the royal gardens. “Now we just have to wait until they-”

A thunderous boom drowned out Celestia’s words and shook the mountainside. Looking upward, the duo very quickly saw the dragons that Twilight mentioned had arrived, though they were not quite what the two were expecting.

Instead of three separate dragonesses, they appeared to be a single green dragon body with three heads.

The three-headed creature was absolutely massive. The solar alicorn saw that a single toenail from them was larger than her. The three of them were taller than the highest tower of the palace, putting them over eighty feet in height.

“So, this is what Canterlot looked like before the mega spells dropped,” the leftmost head of the dragoness said with a huff. While she tried to whisper, she was still loud enough to shake windows.

“Don’t be so rude, Jade,” the right head gave the left a chiding glare. “This is a pretty nice city. It’s really colorful.”

“Yeah, enough to make my eyes want to bleed, Peri,” Jade grumbled as the right hand jabbed a talon into Peri’s snout.

“Quite down, both of you,” the central head grumbled with authority before their wings smacked Peri and Jade on the backs of their heads. “We need the princesses help to get back home and I don’t want you two messing things up for us. Understood?”

“Yes, Esmeralda,” the two heads looked away sheepishly.

“Well then,” Luna said as she looked up at the bizarre trio. “Shall we go fly up and speak to them, sister?”

Celestia could only stare up in silent shock at the massive sight that stood before her.

“Sister?” Luna’s eyebrow quirked up at she stared at her sister standing still as a statue. Before she could say another word, she heard a strange sound coming from behind her; a strange mix of a plop and a thud.

“Oh! Um…” Celestia snapped from her stupor, her face redder than the grandest ruby Luna had ever laid eyes on. “Sorry, Luna. It’s just seeing our new guests startled me so much… um… it cured my constipation…”

“Urgh… tell me about it…” a voice came from behind the alicorn pair. Turning around, they saw Verdant Range, looking disgusted as he was covered in what was once Celestia’s meals.

“Verdant Range!” Celestia grinned at the sight of the once missing pony, only for it quickly fade away at what he was covered in. “Oh my me, I’m so sorry! I didn’t know anypony was behind me when I… lost control. Rest assured, I will compensate you this and ask for you not mention this to anypony.”

“No worries, your highness,” Verdant grimaced as he tried to shake off some of the vile mess that was stuck to him. “I never want to talk about this ever again.

As while Verdant and Celestia looked disgusted at the sight of the stallion, Luna looked on with triumphant delight.

This is fantastic! Verdant has finally been freed and we can finally move on from this gross nightmare!

“By the way, Verdant,” Celestia raised a hoof to her chin, “where have you been these last three months? You were missing for quite a while.”

Oh, poop… Luna thought as she realized she forgot to make a cover story for the shamrock stallion.

“Did… did my paperwork get lost?” Verdant tilted his head in confusion. “I could have sworn I filed the the paperwork for a temporary transfer months ago.”

“Oh, I guess it must have gotten lost somewhere.” Celestia gave a shrug before she started to slowly trot away. “Well, I suggest you take a long, hot shower and take the next couple days off. Meanwhile…” Celestia attempted to move her hind legs, only to wince in pain. “I’m gonna find some aspirin and something to sit on.”

The princess of the sun’s ivory horn started to glow once more as she muttered. “Sweet Faust, it feels like I’ve given birth.” She then vanished in a golden flash.

“Well, I’m impressed, young stallion.” Luna offered Verdant a sly grin. “I never knew you could be such a skilled liar.”

“When you grow up with six sisters, you learn some skills to get you out of hot water,” Verdant replied, still trying to scrape some of Celestia’s waste off him.

“Well, at any rate, we can finally put this disaster to rest,” Luna sighed relief and straightened her back. “Head for the staff showers, Verdant. Once my sister has returned and we’ve dealt with this… these dragons, I shall handle the paperwork for your compensation.”

“Thank you, Princess Luna,” Verdant said with a bow before he started to trot away. “One thing’s for certain, I hope I never have something like that happen to me ever again.”

Author's Notes:

Hey everyone, sorry this took so long. The only thing I can say in my defense for why this took so long to make is that I had a bunch of things happen is the last chapter.

I had my computer break down, so I had to get a whole new one, and then there was a recent tragedy in the family. Still, I hope this being almost as long as the previous chapter.

Now, normally this is where I would post the poll for what will be in the chapter after next, but I've decided to pick what will come after The Quickest Way to a Mare's Heart, though I will keep which chapter that will be a surprise.

Still, this may take a while since I have to keep writing A Pony Displaced Homeward and I need a new editor. The position's still available.

Until next time, see ya!
