Author's Notes:

Thanks for all the suggestions for a name for their new foal. All were great names but I decided to combine "Solar Flare" from DeathPhantom and "DawnFlame" from Bronyshot to get "Solar Flame." I can't thank you all enough for giving your input and effort into this. I hope you enjoy this chapter because I'm not quite happy with it, so I'm already halfway through the next chapter and will release it within the next week or two to make up for this one. Let me know what you think because it seems to me that something is missing from this one. It was more the reveal and character building.

Solar Flame is the name we decided on our new daughter. Solar because of her mother and flame because of me. Shortly after Tia and the baby were stable, asleep, and being watched after by the doctor, Cadence came up to me wanting to talk. So, with Luna, Twilight and the girls with Shining Armor and Flurry Heart, Cadence and I went to a private room to talk. Basically, she said that she was happy with the way I handled everything when she started to panic. However, she still wasn’t comfortable with my foreknowledge of them. But she also knows that she also doesn’t have anything to fear from me either.

So, now that we were standing on common ground, I invited her to come with me to see the guards and the wounded. She agreed. For the next hour, we paid our respects to the wounded, wishing them well on getting better. We did have some casualties, but only three. Still, I wanted to pay my respects to them personally and even write a short letter of thanks to their families. The second in command was happy to hear it, Shining Armor being the head captain of course. While with the wounded I showed off my new daughter to them telling them that it was their effort and sacrifice that everypony, including my own family, was safe.

While Cadence and I were visiting the wounded, Twilight and Rarity went to bed early due to the amount of magic they used and needed a good rest. Starlight spent some more time with her old friend Sunburst for a while. Because it was decided that we would stay for another day at least to make sure that Tia had fully recovered from giving birth. And making sure that our new daughter was doing fine before going through the process of returning back to Canterlot.

To my surprise, Twilight’s parents showed up to spy their new granddaughter. And mine as well when they got the news. So they were able to join in on the festive atmosphere until it was time we returned back to Canterlot.

And can you imagine the send-off we had from the Crystal Empire? It wasn’t a parade or anything, but still, there were a lot of crystal ponies there, both citizen and guard, that gave us a happy farewell.

And when we got back?

After a whistle from the train, I glanced up from my spot on the bench seat to see Rainbow peer out the open window. “You hear something?” she asked, sticking her head outside.

I was laying down on the bench seat in my fox form with our new daughter laying on my back in a cushion of my tails, sleeping soundly with another tail resting over her. Tia had also put a sound barrier around her to keep things quiet for her little ears. Tia and Luna were sitting on the other bench seat across from me speaking when they stopped to listen.

“Yeah,” Applejack agreed before standing up to stick her head outside as well. Then she looked back at us with a girlish chuckle, “Good thing there’s one of them sound spells around her. Because we’re about to get a loud greeting.”

“One band and a lot of ponies too,” Rainbow continued after AJ.

“Oh, dear.”

“It’s alright, Fluttershy,” Twilight consoled her with a smile, “with the sound shield around little Solar she won’t be bothered by all that noise.”

“Indeed,” Luna agreed with a nod before yawning. “However,” she continued while trying to blink the sleep out of her eyes, “I wouldn’t advise staying too long, either.”

“True,” nodding in agreement, “but it was expected, so giving them a peak to sate their interest with the news of a reveal should satisfy them until then, right?”

The train whistled again almost covering up the sound of the wheels against the track as it pulled into the station while the music got louder in our ears. “Should yes,” Tia’s eyes held only a little uncertainty in them as she watched our daughter sleep. “It’s not like we can send them away before we arrive. A small reveal while walking to the waiting chariot limo should do nicely.”

“And not to worry,” Rarity reassured everypony, “I have no doubt the guards will keep everypony at bay while we walk through the station.”

Pinkie, meanwhile, bounced to the front of the car as the train pulled into the station with a loud hiss of steam. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they keep things quiet,” she told us before disappearing in a pink cloud.

And true to her words, Pinkie was standing in front of the band and onlookers when the train can to a stop. Just like she said, the crowd was a lot quieter than it was before. The music was still playing, just softer. And even though most of the ponies were still waving and even cheering, it sounded like one of Fluttershy’s soft cheers.

I simply chuckled while standing up from the seat, “I don’t know how she does it, and I don’t want to know, but thank goodness for Pinkie.”

“Indeed,” Luna yawned out again, “It seems she’s one of the many mysteries here in Equestria.” The rest of the girls giggled in agreement as we got our stuff together. And with the last of the steam being hissed out of the train, we got off and onto the platform.

After Pinkie stood to the side, Tia took front and center to speak to the gathered crowd. The crowd even parted for us as we stepped up to them. “Thank you, my little ponies,” she said in her normal voice, just a little louder than normal. “Thank you for your quiet greeting. To answer the burning questions in your minds, I am fine and completely recovered from giving birth to our new daughter.” That was my cue to step forward next to her and move the tip of my tail aside letting them view Solar’s sleeping head. “Out new daughter, Solar Flame.” Tia rubbed her cheek against mine while the crowd dawwed over the sleeping filly. “You are welcome to take pictures while we pass through. But please remain quiet for her sake and there will be a reveal later this afternoon.”

The crowd seemed to agree and remained quiet while we walked through the station. My tail was pulled back just enough for them to get a glimpse of her but still covered up enough to keep little Solar satisfied. She seemed to fidget if she wasn’t covered with one of my tails. Luckily what camera flashes that went off didn’t bother her so it wasn’t long before we were out of the station and within the chariot limo.

In no time at all the chariot was on its way to the castle with the sound of hooves and wooden wheels against the stone street. One look at Tia told me that she was thankful to be inside.

“I’m assuming that little Solar won’t be attending her reveal this afternoon?” Luna asked. This time the layout was such that I was able to lay down on the long bench seat with Tia and Luna on either side of me.

Tia shook her head, “No. I don’t think it would be a good idea.”

“I agree,” said with a nod, “however, some good-sized photos of her that can be seen from a distance would be a good idea though. That way they’ll be able to see something of her.”

“Oh good idea,” Pinkie giggled softly, “then I get to help with the big party. I’ll decorate it in white and yellow, Solar’s colors.”

“Good idea, Pinkie,” Rarity cooed to her friend with a wide smile, “I’ll help with the decorations.”

“I’ll help with the cooking,” AJ volunteered with glee.

Rainbow giggled, “Yeah, if you can dodge the head chef in the kitchen.”

As the others chuckled and giggled, AJ simply smirked at her friend, “We’ve come to an understanding.”

“Oh dear, he wasn’t hurt too badly was he?” Fluttershy asked, and sounding so honest too.

The look on AJ’s face was priceless. And as the others snickered, chuckled, and giggled softly I put a paw over my mouth to hold back a chuckle of my own.

AJ took the jab rather well. She simply smiled at her friend, “No, he wasn’t hurt at all.”

Tia decided to change the subject, “Well I thank you, girls, for staying to help out.” Then she turned to Luna, “Would you mind looking after Solar this afternoon while we are dealing with the reveal?”

Luna shook her head with a wide happy smile, “Not at all sister. I would love to.”

The conversation was then focused on what the girls will do to help and the plans for the reveal.

^_^

Right after we got to the castle the girls separated into groups and or individuals according to their tasks. AJ went to cook, with Pinkie being in charge of the reveal party itself and thus went around checking on everypony. Rarity had recruited Rainbow and Fluttershy to help decorate. Twilight was the one helping to organize the chaos, naturally.

Our first stop was to Luna’s room. After Luna laid down in her bed, she took little Solar and rested her on a pillow next to her head. Tia stood by my side as Luna’s mane floated forward to cover Solar completely. And Luna’s voice speaking softly, “Rest now little beloved. And may my stars in the sky bring you peace while you sleep.”

Of course, she started to fidget a little, so I leaned my head down to her rubbing my nose against her head ever so gently. “Sleep my precious daughter,” was my whisper to her as she began to calm down, “and let Aunty Luna guide you across the stars of dreams.” Then my lips met Luna’s.

Tia lowered her head to Solar, “Rest my daughter,” she whispered before nuzzling Luna.

“I will notify you if she wakes up hungry,” Luna told us right before yawning.

“Thank you, sister,” Tia thanked her with another nuzzle before we left the room, turning out the lights as we went. While I walked down the hallway next to Tia with my tails over her as she leaned against me happily, my mind wondered just what Nightmare Moon is thinking right now? Can she see and feel what Luna does right now? I knew that there was no need to fear her with little Solar. And yet my mind wondered about how this might be the start of bringing her around. That she might see what her night sky is really meant for.

^_^

(Nightmare Moon’s POV)

When one is trapped inside a little room with no one to talk to, there’s a lot of time to think. Little by little I’ve been getting glimpses of Luna’s thoughts, feelings, and sights around her. This balcony that I’m standing on, and the city below, were given to me by him. By Emmit. He wanted to give me a little something more. Yes, it’s fake but it is an improvement. He even animated the fake ponies below and left me with the freedom of changing the night sky as I see fit. He is soo different. He lets Luna and I talk quietly to ourselves out of his earshot. We’ve talked about him and about our past lover. Never have I heard of it happening, but at least now I know what has happened to him. It explains a lot about Emmit as well. And If I’m being totally honest then I can find myself easily falling for him. Because Emmit and Starry Sky are so much alike.

My mind wanders to different thoughts as my eyes watch the ponies below. I am really just emotions that were created by Luna’s mind. That is such a strange thought to comprehend. Yet, I think of myself as my own pony. Emmit treats me as a separate pony even knowing that. Over the many talks between Luna and I, and between Emmit and I, so many questions are now on my mind.

Just who and or what am I?

Who and or what am I to them?

What will become of me once Luna fully accepts me and the feelings I represent?

The feelings toward my sister, Luna’s sister, and the night sky and our role with it?

As those many thoughts, and others, rush through my mind, I get images of Luna laying down in her bed. But she’s not alone. Emmit and Celestia’s new daughter is with her. Closing my eyes I focus on what Luna is seeing.

From her point of view, she levitates the sleeping filly over to her and onto the pillow by her head. Her mane comes forward covering the sleeping filly. “Rest now little beloved. And may my stars in the sky bring you peace while you sleep.” I hear her say as if I was the one saying it. Her feelings hit me then. The stars in the sky bring peaceful sleep to this little filly that she loves so much. She begins to fuss before Emmit’s head comes into her view. “Sleep my precious daughter and let Aunty Luna guide you across the stars of dreams.” Then our lips meet. This time I could feel the kiss, feel his love through it. It was a gentle and soft kiss that lingered after it was done. It lingered on with me enough that I had missed them leaving the room.

As Luna started falling asleep, my mind thought and wondered…

Will he feel that way toward me? His smirking face flashed through my mind. “Goodnight, my nightmare,” is what he said to me the last time. Or does he already because he used the words my nightmare? What shocked me and excited me was that I wanted another kiss from him.

Slowly my hoof came up to my lips as my mind processed that single thought. I wanted another kiss from him. I wanted him…

Is this from me or Luna? I am Luna, so it is me. Right?

^_^

(Emmit’s POV, Solar’s reveal and party)

The reveal was held on the steps leading down to the courtyard. I had worked to have two large pictures done up of my daughter and put on display for the crowd to see. And with the rest of the girls present with me and Tia, it was time for the announcement. All of us were standing just inside the large double doors when they opened a crack. A guard’s head peeked inside.

“Your highness? Sire? It’s time,” he said to us.

After giving each other a smile Tia nodded to the guard, “Very well. Open the doors please.”

The doors opened to a cacophony of applause and shouts of adoration from the gathered public at large. The guard had taken post in front of, and on either side of, the steps. Two large pictures of our daughter were hanging in the air on either side of the steps for the public to see. It was Tia and I made our way down the steps with the rest of the girls in their fancy dresses behind us.

It took the crowd a couple of minutes to die down after she raised her hoof to speak. Then she spoke to them using her Canterlot Voice, “Thank you all for your adulation aglow. We,” she leaned up against me, “are happy, and proud, to have her in our lives. At first, we were a little concerned because she looks so different. But that concern has been assuaged because of everypony present, and the joyous greeting you have given us.” She looked up at the large picture, “Her name is Solar Flame and we ask that you welcome her into your hearts as we have welcomed her into ours.”

Another round of applause from the crowd. This time it was my turn to speak and of course, it took another couple of minutes for the crowd to fully die down again.

As I began, Tia put her head into my neck with a happy sigh closing her eyes. “Once again, thank you for showing us your joy and acceptance on this wondrous occasion. She has told me that she felt it time for her to have a child of her own. That it was time for Equestria to give something to her.” I rubbed my head against hers. “I’m still young yet. Barely twenty and how I got such wonderful mares in my life I’ll never know. How they put up with me I’ll never know.” The crowd at large was amused by that as my ears heard giggles and chuckles. “I came to this world over a year ago and now look at me. Equestria truly is a great nation where anything is possible. It already has given me a family and I will continue to serve my family and this nation to the best of my ability.” I paused for a second before grinning, “Unless I get on their bad side, then who knows what will happen.” The crowd laughed at the quip, as did the girls behind me while Tia simply stuck her tongue out at me playfully.

Tia took over again, “There will be a party open to the public for the next two hours where you are free to join us and ask more questions.”

And with that, the announcement was over and we retreated back into the castle. Then I worked our way into the throne room where the refreshments were.

I smiled when looking at Pinkie’s decorating job. “Nice job on the decorations, Pinkie. Did you aim for a baby shower type atmosphere?”

She bounced up to me with a happy giggle, “Of course. After all, she’s a baby, and soo cute. Therefore deserves a shower. And decorated in her colors white and yellow.”

“Thank you, Pinkie Pie,” Tia told her through a joyous smile. “And it looked like you and Miss Applejack also did a wonderful job on the refreshments as well.”

“You’re right welcome, Princess,” AJ spoke up with a proud nod of her head. “I just hope we made enough for everypony.”

That’s when Fluttershy quietly stepped up to me, tapping me on the shoulder.

“Um…if it’s ok with you, I’d like to go somewhere a little quieter. I’m happy for you it’s just…”

With an understanding smile, I leaned down and gently kissed her. “It’s alright, Fluttershy. We know how you don’t like large crowds.”

“Oh yes, we understand darling,” Rarity agreed, stepping up on the other side of her.

“If you need anything, just ask,” I told her with another rub against her head, “alright?”

“Ok,” she smiled up to me and Tia. “I hope you enjoy the party.”

“We will, Fluttershy,” Tia smiled to her. And with that Fluttershy started to leave with the goal of probably retreating to either her room or the garden. More than likely the garden because of her animal friends where it was quieter. I made a mental note to check up on her after this party was over.

“Yeah, she’s never liked large crowds,” Rainbow muttered softly from her spot above me. “Oh well, more grub for me.” My eyes spotted her going for the refreshments already.

“I knew there was a reason I liked that mare,” was my chuckling response.

She looked back with a wink and wiggled her flank at me, “Yeah, among other things.”

Tia giggled quietly, trying to hide it. Rarity didn’t bother to hide it and simply gasped as if in shock, “Such scandalous behavior.” Then I brought my head down to hear her whisper, “She should be punished later.” Which made me blush.

Pinkie responded by bouncing her way over to the doors with a happy, “Let’s get this party started already!”

AJ walked up to Tia and asked softly, “Your highness? Could I ask you something in private really quick before this whole thing here starts?” She was blushing and looking a little nervous when she said it which got me curious. But I simply stayed out of it as Tia agreed and they both walked over to a corner to talk.

Twilight walked up to me with a long sigh that spoke of strained patience. As she stood there I slowly put a couple of tails around her with a smirk. She didn’t move. And because she didn’t, I pulled her against me.

I felt her eyes on me.

It was an interesting sensation.

I didn’t look down at her immediately because I wanted to play with her a little. She’s just so much fun to mess with. When my eyes finally did meet hers, the look on her face was priceless. It was a mixture of strained patience, amusement, arousal, and even a little bit of denial.

When she spoke up, she tried keeping her voice sounding disappointed and upset, but it didn’t quite work. And it didn’t reach her face either. “You know, I don’t know who’s worse. Rainbow, you, or the Princesses. Even the mares in Ponyville are suspicious of what you and Luna do at night sometimes.”

In one quick motion, I brought her head up with a paw and gave her a quick kiss. Rarity was amused and moved to the other side of Twilight.

“Stop it,” Twilight tried to sound angry, but her voice didn’t show it and neither did the blush on her face. “It’s not going to work.”

“What isn’t going to work, dear?” Rarity cooed from the other side while leaning into her with batting eyelashes.

“He’s trying to woo me, Rarity,” Twilight looked over at her friend with a “can you believe it” look.

Rarity looked back with the slightest bit of a smirk on her face, “And what’s wrong with that? After all, dear, he’s already got me.”

Just when Twilight was going to respond, my nose met the bottom of her neck. And with one long sniff, my nose rubbed up against her neck to the base of her head. I loved her reaction.

“Rarity, reeeEEEEeeely,” her body vibrated in place as if her body was wracked with chills. Right after I was done she immediately shoved me to the side, waving her wing at me, and shooing me away. “Stop that!”

That’s when Pinkie flung open the doors wide with a loud, “LET’S PARTY!”

While Twilight was shooing me away with her wing and a slight scowl on her face, Rarity moved over to my side with a giggle. “Yes, go on and greet the public.”

“Alright, Twilight, alright,” Rarity giggled, nudging me toward the crowd that was pouring in. “Come on, darling! I think we’ve ruffled her fur enough for now.” That was also when Tia hurried up to join us as AJ, Rainbow, and Twilight stayed behind for now. And as the crowd rushed up to greet us, Tia gave me some news that I didn’t expect.

She leaned over to whisper, “AJ asked for my permission for you to bathe her.”

“Really?” Tia nodded back. Looking down at Rarity got me another nod from her.

“After this, you can, either down below or in her guest room,” Tia whispered to me before giving me a kiss. “And I know you will give her a wonderful one just like you always do to me.”

Then Rarity pulled my head down to her with a kiss of her own, “And that you give to me as well, dear.”

Which the newsponies got pictures of. “Yes, of course,” was my shocked response as I never thought AJ would ever agree to it. Apparently I was wrong. My mind immediately started flashing images of AJ moaning underneath me with my fingers and lips all over her.

“Your highness? Your majesty? Can we have a few words?” a mare reporter asked first as she practically came to a skidding halt in front of us.

The images flashing through my mind had me spacing out, so it took a light jab from Tia to bring me out of it.

“Huh? What?” Then it hit me that the reporters were in front of me. I sheepishly apologized with an awkward smile, “Sorry.”

“You have a few words for us, your majesty?” the mare reporter asked again.

“Oh yes, sorry,” I gave her a smile. “Nothing much more than what I had originally said. Two years ago I never in my entire life thought I’d be here. Yet, here I am. Happily married to wonderful mares with a family.”

“Your highness? How will being a mother change the way you govern the nation?” a stallion reporter asked Tia.

Tia hummed in thought for a second, “I think it won’t change much. But I do think that it will give me another point of view. This time from a mother’s point of view.”

“Where is your daughter now? We noticed she isn’t here right now.”

“With Luna,” I told another mare reporter.

“We thought that it would be a bit much for her right now,” Tia finished for me before she seemed to freeze for a second. She was getting a message.

“Your highness?”

She smiled at the reporters, “I’m sorry, but it seems that little Solar is hungry and it’s time for her feeding. Enjoy the refreshments in my absence.” With a pop of magic, she was gone to take care of our daughter. The rest of the girls took her place after she left. I placed a couple of my tails over Rarity as she leaned into me. Pinkie, meanwhile, was all over the place talking and conversing with the party-goers. Twilight made the mistake of stepping up beside me. With the ever slightest grin on my face, a couple of my tails slowly worked their way around her to pull her back up against me. All the while looking at the reporters with a wide smile. I could feel Twilight stiffen up immediately as AJ came up to Twilight’s side with Rainbow landing on the other side of Rarity with some pastries in her hoof.

“Who was there during the birth?” another reporter asked.

“It was I,” Rarity answered for me, “Emmit, naturally, Sarah, Emmit’s mother, and the doctors and nurses of course.”

While Rarity answered the questions, I was using my tails to rub against Twilight in an attempt to calm her down and relax her.

“It sure was a time up at the Crystal Empire and the Crystalling and all,” AJ spoke up happily. “But it all worked out.”

Twilight seemed to relax, so I kept massaging her with a couple of tails.

“And little Flurry Heart is such a cutie,” Rarity giggled while leaning into me.

“For anything regarding that,” Twilight told them with her political voice, “you’ll have to contact the Crystal Empire Press.”

“Thank you,” one of the reporters bowed then they all dispersed back into the crowd.

“Lady Rarity,” came a familiar stallion’s voice.

“Councilpony Fancy,” Rarity greeted happily, “Fleur. How are both of you?”

Fancy came up greeting Rarity with his usual flare of kissing her hoof, “I am doing very well, Lady Rarity, thank you.”

As Rarity and Fleur greeted one another with a hug, it was my turn. “Councilpony Fancy, good to see you, sir.”

“And you good lad,” he greeted with a shake of his hoof. “Word is, you had quite the time up at the Empire.”

“Yes, and it was all because of these mares here that everything turned out just fine.” Even Twilight smiled back up at me when I said that. Which in turn, I nuzzled her.

“A changeling invasion is what I hear?” he questioned with shock.

“Not as much as the wedding was, but there was a good group that did attack during that time,” Rainbow pipped up with a smirk. “We kicked their butts easily.”

“Excuse me, dear,” Rarity interrupted by looking up to me. “Fleur and I want to have a talk, would you mind…?”

I kissed her, “Of course not.”

“In that case, we’ll see you later dears,” Rarity called out as she and Fleur headed to wherever, “ta ta.”

When Rainbow moved in, my tails sought out their target. However, she was sneaky and in a flash replaced herself with AJ. With a soft “oof” I looked down to see AJ now up against me with my tails wrapped around her. And a snickering Rainbow just beyond my reach. Meanwhile, AJ had a huge blush on her face. While I was eyeing Rainbow with an “I’ll get you eventually” look, even Fancy was chuckling at my antics.

“Here have some muffins,” Pinkie suddenly appears on my back, stuffing a muffin in my mouth. Then disappearing in a pink puff of smoke.

Didn’t even get to say thank you.

“You’re welcome,” came Pinkie’s voice from somewhere else in the narthex.

“It’s just Pinkie being Pinkie,” AJ said to Fancy as he had a strange look on his face.

“Interesting mare that one,” Fancy chuckled. “But indeed charming.”

“You should drop by Ponyville sometime,” Rainbow suggested, “we can show you the town.”

“Marvelous suggestion, Miss Dash.”

She shrugged, “Just call me Rainbow.”

“Your highness,” Fancy greeted as Tia walked up to us again.

“Little Solar is well-fed and gone back to sleep again,” Tia greeted with a wide smile.

“I do say, that little daughter of yours is the most precious.”

“Thank you, councilpony Fancy,” Tia smiled, “she really is.”

From there, the rest of the reveal party was really enjoyable. And oddly enough AJ and Twilight kept by my side for the rest of the time. So, I thought about playing the reverse psychology game on Rainbow. By not trying to get her. It didn’t seem to work at first, but as the party continued on she got closer and closer to Twilight, AJ, and I. So, near the end of the party I made sure to work my way back around to Tia to see about leaving.

Luckily I caught Tia when she had just dismissed herself from a guest that I didn’t recognize. After getting her attention, I worked my way over to her.

“AJ? You want me to go ahead and bathe you right now?” I asked her in a soft voice where only she and Twilight would hear.

She blushed heavily and whispered back, “You know?”

I nodded, “Tia told me and I’ll be happy to serve you.”

She was hesitant and nervous about it, that much was plain to see. However, she nodded up at me with a heavy blush anyway just as we were approaching Tia. Tia and I kissed before asking her, “Mind if AJ and I slip out early?”

She shook her head at me with a knowing smile. “Not at all, just make sure you come back to us when you’re done.” After a nod from me, she looked down at AJ and winked, “You won’t regret it, Applejack.”

“Then see you later, honey,” I whispered to Tia giving her another kiss before starting toward the side door. Rainbow was hovering close by so inviting her along with a nod a nudge of my head was easy enough to do. I think she heard it too because she was eager to follow. Next was Twilight, “You in, Twilight? You haven’t moved from my side.”

She must have gotten a pleading look from AJ because she agreed to it with a nod. “I’m in. It was wonderful the last time.”

“It really was,” Rainbow told AJ right after we left the throne room as she landed to walk beside her. “He’s got great hands.”

“Twilight? You want to see if Pinkie and Fluttershy wants one too? We’ll be going to AJ’s guest room unless you want to do it in the hot spring below.” Twilight looked up at me with a curious expression.

“Why not do it down below in the first place?”

I gave her a smirk, “Because I wasn’t sure if you would just simply leave me down there or not.”

She smirked back up at me, which wasn’t too reassuring. “Tempting, but no I won’t leave you down there. Besides, even if I did you could just get Celestia to let you out.”

“In that case,” I stopped there walking, “shall we?” In a flash of Twilight’s magic, she teleported us down to the warm hot springs below the castle. A second later and she was gone again.

“Wowee,” AJ’s voice was filled with awe and admiration while she looked around. The pool was always warm and with AJ looking away, but with Rainbow watching me, I morphed into my human form. Naked. And as AJ looked around, Rainbow’s eyes roamed over me greedily. “This place sure is something.” With my eyes still on Rainbow, I backed up and got into the water with a splash. The pool, even at its deepest, was only about four feet. When AJ heard the splash she turned around and for a split-second, she looked shocked, as if she forgot I had another form. Even though she couldn’t see anything yet, because the water was above my waist, she still blushed.

“Over there on the other side of the pool is a little lowered portion that’s right at water level.” AJ nodded her head, still blushing with her eyes looking back and forth from the portion of the floor to me. “That’s where I’ll bathe you, so if you wouldn’t mind walking over, taking off your hat, and laying down?”

“A-alright,” she was still nervous, as it was reflected in her voice. Even with her nervousness, she still walked over a little quicker than I would have thought.

“Rainbow? Would you mind bringing over the shampoo and towels please?” I asked her.

“Sure, no prob,” she flew over and grabbed the supplies. Brought them over, laying them down within arms reach of the bathing area, or what I call the bathing area. Then sat down next to them with an excited expectant look on her face. More than likely she wants one too. AJ walked over to the bathing area, took off her hat with a hoof, and gently tossed it aside. Then with a deepening blush, stepped down into it, and laid down. However, she laid down with her legs tucked away underneath her.

“What do I do?” she asked a little sheepishly. It was obvious that she’s never had this done to her and it was a big step for her. And even though I was happy and excited to do it, I also knew to take it easy for her first time. With that in mind, my hands gently cupped her head and brought my lips down gently kissing her forehead. Then a light kiss on her lips before pulling back to smile down to her.

“Not a thing, AJ. Let me do everything.” My aim was to have my voice as soothing as possible with my ministrations as gentle as possible. All with the goal of making it a genuinely pleasurable experience for her.

She slowly nodded for me to begin. Because the floor of the pool was higher, I made sure to keep my waist below the water level for AJ’s sake.

The first thing I did was to take one of her front legs and stretch it out. Letting her take her time in doing so before moving to the other one. “You know I care about you, right AJ? That I love you as my friend?” My hand rubbed against her head to trail down her mane until it reached the ribbon. Then undoing her mane and tossing the ribbon to her hat.

“Yeah, sugarcube,” she knew it of course, but her voice still betrayed her nervousness, “I know you do. This is just the first time I’ve done this before.”

My hand trailed down from the back of her neck and over her back. “I figured as much. And that’s ok because you are with friends. You’re safe. You’re loved.” As my fingers ran down her back I felt her body shudder just a little. “And I want to show you that, not just tell you.” I let my fingers run down her rump then to her tail, taking the ribbon off, and tossing it next to the other one. “This is my way of showing you.” Next was extending her hind legs, one after another slowly.

She wasn’t yet comfortable with me, so starting with her mane seemed an appropriate first step while explaining what I was going to do. Rainbow helped get the soap near me by pushing it to me with her hoof with a smirk on her face. And while my hands wetted down AJ’s mane I talked to her. “I’m sure you’ve heard that this will be an intimate experience?”

She turned her head to the side, so it would be closer to the water. “Yeah.”

“And that would be correct,” I told her. Her mane was almost fully wet. “I am going to be intimate with you AJ. However, it’s an intimacy that’s not necessarily sexual. There’s more to being intimate than simply sex.”

With her mane wet, it was time for the shampoo. “Something to think about,” I whispered before leaning down giving her another kiss on her forehead. It took a few minutes for mane to get washed and rinsed. After that was done, I started taking her through the breathing exercises. It was a good way to relax her and for her to enjoy what I was doing. While washing her legs I was telling her to simply take deep breaths letting the nervousness out and let comfort in. All the while, giving her a peck or two against her forehead and lips.

For her torso, back and sides, I asked her to count softly while envisioning herself getting more and more relaxed. Taking her through the motions and getting her to say it out loud also told me that she was actually doing it. My fingers did find a ticklish spot on the right side of her belly near her hind leg that made her giggle a little while counting. From then on I tried not to tickle her to make her more comfortable. It actually helped her relax to my observations.

During this Rainbow was quiet and Twilight had gone and reappeared with both Fluttershy and Pinkie. Which thankfully remained quiet and watched.

AJ’s rump, tail, and legs came next. I enjoyed washing her rump and cutie marks. My fingers slowly and firmly rubbed the water and soap into her fur to get to the skin underneath. I was gentle, of course, but it was also the first area that was truly starting to get intimate. Her reaction was interesting. While she counted softly to herself, she also moaned softly as well.

Now came the fun part where I turn her over. Needing to tell her first, my hand gently ran up her back until it gently rested on the back of her neck. Then leaning down I whispered, “AJ, it’s time to turn you over. Remember that you are loved and cared for. Let your body relax and float. Your mind listening to the loving sound of my voice.” Each hand grabbed one leg in each, front and back respectively, and gently rolled her toward me. “Let your body relax into my hands, AJ,” my voice soft and soothing to her as I carefully, and gently, positioned her on her back with her front legs at her sides.

I was a little surprised, but pleased, to see her not trying to cover herself up. Because she has left herself fully exposed to me. Knowing that her mind would catch on to that fact, I leaned in toward her head. With both of my hands on her head facing me, my lips gently kissed her forehead. “Just breathe AJ. Breathe in calm serene peace and breathe out all your worries.” My lips softly pressed against hers. “You are with your friends that love you. You are with me and I love you. There is no embarrassment or nervousness here. Only the peace and love we have for each other.” My hands slowly lowered her head to the side, resting her cheek against the warm tile.

“Let me show you,” I whispered before softly kissing her exposed neck, then her right shoulder continuing up her right foreleg to kiss her right front hoof. My trail of kisses continued back down, across her chest to her left shoulder up to her left foreleg. Ending with both of my hands holding her left front hoof and kissing it. Before trailing back down again. I let my lips do the talking as they softly kissed down her chest and barrel. Both of my hands firmly rubbing down the sides of her body, careful not to tickle her on the way down.

I felt her slow deep breaths against my lips with the rise and fall of her chest. My hands gently rubbed the inside of her hind legs, or what would be the thighs of a human woman. Slowly my lips kissed the top of one of her teats before kissing around it. AJ let out a soft moan. So, I did the other one. Gently kissing the tip then around it. This time, it was a moan mixed with a sigh. Her marehood was next. My lips gently kissed her lower ones enticing a very arousing long moaning sigh our of her.

I wanted to linger there but didn’t want to push it. Because it was her first time. So, my lips kissed from there up one leg before kissing back down, kissing her marehood again before going up to her other leg.

“Feel how much I care for you, AJ?” my voice was whisper quiet as I asked her while kissing up her body. She let out a soft “uh-huh” right before my lips linger against her mouth one more time. “Let me wash you, and serve you.” I took my time getting her wet and let my hands explore every curve of her body. Especially when lathering her up my fingers glided over her body.

All the while, Rainbow was looking at me like a predator and I was the prey. Her tail was gently swaying behind her. It made me excited and nervous all at the same time.

While washing AJ’s marehood, I let my fingers linger longer there than before, but not too long either. My ears were rewarded with a satisfying long moan out of her as I got done bathing her. But I wasn’t done quite yet.

My lips kissed up her body once more to give her a lingering kiss on her lips. Then gently put my hands under her and raised her upper half to me giving her a hug. My arms wrapped around her after making sure her head rested against my shoulder. “You can wake up now, AJ,” I said quietly to her. I used one hand to reach up and stroke her head.

She responded by wrapping her front legs around me with a giggle and a sniff. As if she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Looking behind her, I saw Pinkie “Awwing” at us along with Fluttershy and Twilight smiling. Even Rainbow’s predatory look had softened into a smile.

“It’s alright, AJ,” was my soft whisper to her rolling emotions, “let out whatever you need. There’s no embarrassment here.”

Rainbow was the first one to walk up giving her a wing hug. Then the other girls trotted over as well to make one large group hug.

AJ sniffed, cried, and giggled for the next few minutes as we simply hugged each other. “Now you got me in a happy blubbering mess,” she finally said through another sniff and giggle.

“It’s ok, AJ. If you can’t be a happy blubbering mess around your friends who can you be it with?” We all could hear both the comfort and the humor in what Rainbow said. Especially AJ, who leaned over to Rainbow in a sideways hug. By this point, she had sat up on her own as they sat back a little. I still hunkered down in the water.

AJ sniffed before letting out a quick soft laugh, “You’re right, Rainbow.” Then she looked up at me with a wide grateful smile. “Emmit, that really was the most intimate time I’ve ever had. And like y’all said it wasn’t sexual. Well, it was and wasn’t.” She chuckled before continuing, “I’ve never been loved quite like that before. And I don’t know why, but it feels that a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders.” The girls and I waited for her to continue because it was apparent that she needed it. “I feel so happy and sad at the same time. The last time I felt like this was...with my parents.” Her voice softened when her mind began to understand the way she felt. She looked down in thought as the girls started hugging her again. “I miss them soo much and it’s been soo hard running the farm without them. I guess...I guess I just needed a break from being the strong one all the time.” Then she looked around at the girls. “I think, I’ve finally accepted that it’s alright to ask for help and to rely on others.”

“Especially friends,” Fluttershy said quietly with a tear in her eye.

AJ sniffed again with a nod, “Especially friends.”

“Yeah, you are kind of prideful, AJ,” Rainbow smirked at her friend.

AJ quickly pulled Rainbow in with her front leg in a hug, “Yeah, like you ain’t.” The girls laughed and giggled.

Especially Rainbow when she replied, “Then I should know, shouldn’t I?”

I simply smiled, basking in the beautiful moment happy to be a part of it. After another minute or two Fluttershy raised a towel with her wing, “Come on, AJ, let’s get your dried off.”

“Alright,” AJ sniffed and giggled with a nod to her. Then after another grateful smile toward me, she followed Pinkie, Twilight, and Fluttershy to dry off and more than likely talk some more.

When they were far enough away, it only took a split second for Rainbow to claim my mouth for her own in a deep silent passionate kiss. Need rolled off of her in waves toward me like the tide of the sea. “I want a happy ending,” she whispered with a slight growl to it. Then she laid down on her stomach and spread herself out.

“I have just the thing,” I whispered back with a smirk on my face.

Washing and bathing her mane, tail, back, and legs were no different than with AJ. I took her through the same relaxation technique having her count and visualize. Through the sound of her voice, I could tell that she was relaxing. She wasn’t loud, to begin with, but as I continued on her voice became softer, calmer, and more heated. Especially when I focused on her cutie marks. While my fingers dug into her coat around her cutie marks, she moaned softly around the words she was saying. It was satisfying to see her want to move. Yet, obeying me when I told her not to and that if she did the feeling would go away.

Yeah, I’m evil sometimes, but they don’t mind.

The fun was after I turned her over. Like AJ, I kissed her down and then up her body. This time instead of relaxing her I wanted to build up her desire.

“Each kiss, each touch of my lips brings more passion and heat inside of you. With each deep breath, you breathe in hot passionate lustful desire.” By the time I got to her marehood, she had stopped talking and started to breathe deeply and slowly. When I kissed her there she breathed out a long slow soft moan. While washing her I spoke to her. “Let your peace be replaced by burning hot desire. Increase it with every breath you take. With each touch of my hands.”

Then came the shampoo. My hands slid over her body getting into every supple curve of her lithe form. Softly I kept telling her to let desire and lust fill you with each stroke of my fingers.

By the time I got done rinsing her off, she was breathing deeply while moaning. “When I kiss you, you will open your eyes and tell me what your desire is.” Slowly I lowered my head between her hind legs and let my lips touch, and lightly kiss, her marehood. While doing so I was also watching her reaction. Because I was both a little nervous and excited. All this time I had been building her up for release and with this kiss, I did just that.

Her head snapped up with a frustrated grunt with her eyes latching onto me like a mare dying of thirst and she just spotted fresh water. I saw passion, lust, and primal need in those eyes which made my heart beat harder in my chest.

Before I knew what happened, she had picked me up, brought me out of the water, and laid me on my back onto the tile floor. Her hips were plopped down upon my semi-hard member, her front hooves on my chest, and she came down to claim my mouth once again. This time with a passionate kiss that spoke of primal need and possession. After she broke our kiss she put her cheek against mine and started rubbing her marehood against my hardening shaft. And to answer my command from seconds before she growled out, “I want you.”

After positioning herself over the tip of my member with her hind leg, she let out a primal shout of pleasure when she took me inside of her in one quick motion. She raised herself up with her head tilted back and her eyes closed letting her wings snap open as if in a glorified display of lust and need.

Needless to say, it didn’t take me long to get hot and bothered by her. My member was ready for her before she slammed down on top of me. With my heart pounding in my chest, I arched my hips up a little more. My hands and fingers started exploring immediately. Starting by running up her front legs, rubbing and kneading up her legs.

She lowered her head to look down at me with wild bedroom eyes. “Yes, put your hands on me,” she moaned out softly, slurred a little, “I want your hands all over my body.” She didn’t start riding me, yet. She did, however, move her hind legs under my waist and lock them in place.

“Oh, my,” my ears heard Fluttershy whisper.

“Look at her go,” AJ echoed Fluttershy with a whisper of her own.

My hands raced toward Rainbow’s barrel. Fingers dug into her coat and rubbed against the skin underneath making her close her eyes and give me a long soft moan. She was so wet and warm against my shaft. She felt wonderful to be inside of. And while my heart pounded inside of my chest, my hands reached behind her so my fingers could dig into the spot between her wings.

After a long quick gasp, she raised herself up almost off of me. Her eyes opened wide as her hind legs relaxed underneath me. And with my fingers digging into her fur, kneading her erogenous zone with fury, she squeezed her hind legs slamming herself down upon me once again with passionate vengeance.

She did it again with a cry of pleasure with her eyes locked onto mine and her tail wrapped around my leg. She started slow but quickly picked up speed. Coming down upon me time and time again. Each time her legs would relax then squeeze hard making the sound of our coupling echo through the tiled room of the bath.

My own heart pounding, my breath coming out in sharp grunts while coming up to meet Rainbow. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Fluttershy, shift into Flutterbat and start her way over to us. Pinkie started walking over as well with a set of bedroom eyes on. While they were walking over to us, Rainbow was giving way to me as she started to relax.

“More,” she slurred out while lowering herself on top of me. I was careful of her stiff wings as I rolled her over to be on top. She relaxed underneath me, spreading herself out for me. But her eyes were still wild and latched onto mine as she whispered, “Buck me. And don’t be gentle.”

My lips found hers an instant later. She moaned loudly against my lips as I kept one hand between her wings kneading there hard with my fingers. The other cupped the back of her head bring it up to meet my lips. All the while her body shook with each coupling. The sounds of my body slapping against hers echoed like someone applauding after a great show.

“Rainbow,” Flutterbat’s voice hissed out seductively as her head came into my peripheral view. To my surprise, she leaned down and nibbled on the tip of Rainbow’s ear.

That made Rainbow break the kiss with me and turn her head to the side. My lips found her neck an instant later. Rainbow grunted and moaned with each rapid connection we made together. But her body remained limp and relaxed underneath me with her eyes wide.

I felt a hoof rest over my shoulders, then heard Pinkie’s soft cooing voice in my ear. “Fill her, Emmit. She’s an empty pastry needing your warm cream to complete her.”

“She’s yours, Emmit,” Flutterbat seductively hissed softly into my ear.

My hand had brought Rainbow’s head up to my shoulder with my lips close to her ear. My fingers had ceased to rub between her wings and now concentrated on holding her against me as my body, and hers began to reach their peak. I was breathing and moaning into Rainbow’s ear just as she was doing the same into mine.

“Fill her, Emmit,” Pinkie echoed Flutterbat with a coo of her own into my other ear.

Rainbow suddenly gasped hard into my ear and wrapped herself around me like a living vibrating burrito. She had reached her peak. I moaned her name into her ear as I reached my own. Flutterbat’s wing extended over me with her lips kissing my cheek. Pinkie’s leg was around my shoulder as she was probably doing the same to Rainbow. And with both Flutterbat and Pinkie laying up against us, Rainbow gripped me and cried out as my body plunged into her letting her milk me. Her legs gripped and squeezed in time with each pull against my member like her body wanted the most out of me. Moaning loudly into my ear with gasps of breath between them, she took, she squeezed, and she milked me for all I could give. Flutterbat’s wing gently massaging my back while moaning my own pleasure into Rainbow’s ear.

“Let her take everything,” Flutterbat softly cooed with a hiss into my ear. And indeed she was.

And then we calmed down as our bodies relaxing, with me on top. Neither Flutterbat or Pinkie said anything, just laid there against us with their tails rubbing against my legs.

“Holy buck,” Rainbow whispered between deep breaths after a couple of minutes, then giggled contently.

Meanwhile, I was trying to get my own breathing under control. Not to mention my own pounding heart.

Emmit, darling? Rarity’s voice came through the mind link and would have made me jump a little if my body wasn’t spent.

“Whose turn is it next?” Pinkie questioned softly with her own set of bedroom eyes on.

Yes, dear? I replied back while waiting for them to make their decision.

Are you still down in the bath?

I didn’t hear anything from either Pinkie or Flutterbat, so I answered Rarity back. Yes, why? Do you want to join?

Actually yes, dear. Luna and I want to join while Tia watches Solar. Which means after we’re all done it’s back to Tia’s side for you.

Understood.

“Me?” my ears picked up Twilight’s voice as she was being led over to me. “Why me?”

That was my cue to get off, Rainbow. Not to mention clean up as well. When finally pulling out, Rainbow moaned softly while giggling contently at the same time. “I need to clean up, but I don’t think I can move,” she giggled again.

“Let us help,” Pinkie cooed and began to help Rainbow with Flutterbat helping.

Meanwhile, I was able to crawl back into the bath and clean myself up.

“You know, it’s alright if somepony else went first,” Twilight giggled nervously while taking glances between me and Rainbow. AJ was nearly pushing Twilight over to me with a wide mischievous smile on her face.

Which got interrupted when Nightmare Moon showed up with Rarity at her side. A quick flash of magic and the ceiling above had changed to a night sky with a full moon. The walls changed from simple tile to animated trees and grass as if we were in the middle of a forest clearing. I was done cleaning myself up at this point, so I stood and watched with my waist above the water. Nightmare’s cat-like eyes latched onto mine with a wicked grin on her face. Rarity stayed by her side as Nightmare slowly walked her way over to me. AJ and Twilight had stopped dead and watched, wondering where this was going. I’m sure it was the same for Rainbow, Pinkie, and Flutterbat because I was doing the same.

Nightmare took her time to walk over and let the soft clip-clop of her hooves echoed throughout the room. All the while her eyes were roaming over my body possessively. “It seems that my pet has been enjoying himself,” she even used Nightmare’s tone of voice and mannerisms as she stopped in front of me. Rarity was looking meek and it took me a couple of seconds to realize that they were role-playing. Like Nightmare Night again? I had no clue where this was going.

“It seems that way, mistress,” Rarity said quietly as if she was a conquered citizen of Celestia that Nightmare Moon had taken over or something. She was playing the part well with her ears splayed back looking like a whipped puppy.

Nightmare Looked down at me and grabbed my semi-hard member in her magical grasp, “And what have you got to say for yourself, my pet?”

At first, I had no clue what to say. But she solved that for me by massaging my member until it was hard once more.

Nightmare hummed at me locking her eyes onto my member, “I think that answers everything.” She then looked down at Rarity, “Do you think he should be punished?”

“I...um...Whatever you think, mistress,” Rarity mumbled while her eyes roamed over my body.

Nightmare’s look turned pure evil and used her magic to pull me out of the pool. She backed up enough, so she could set me on my feet onto the tile floor. “I have the perfect punishment,” she said and stepped back, grabbing my member in her magic again. “Why don’t I stroke you and stroke you. Pleasuring you up until the point of release then stop. Then do it all...over...again.”

Ok, now she really is evil.

“Ladies? Wouldn’t you like to see my pet squirm and put on a show for us?”

And what did Rainbow do? Just a minute before she was saying she couldn’t move, and within a second of Nightmare asking that question, she had zipped to her side looking more excited than when she stands in line for apple cider.

This is going to be a long night.

^_^

(Chrysalis’ POV, her hive)

“You failed?! Mark?!” The human was in front of me in that bipedal human form of his with myself pretending to be his wife. “You realize that the other woman was a fake right?” So far, it was fairly easy to convince him that I was his real wife. He’s so easy to manipulate. I also figured out that pretending to be meek and girlish went far with him too. So, at this point, I pulled him in, wrapped my naked arms around him, and put my head on his chest. “I’m your real wife. I’m the only one you need to believe. They are evil and all of them must be destroyed.”

His arms went around me and were satisfied when he quietly said, “You’re right, honey. We’ll save our son. I promise.”

An evil grin spread across my face, “Thank you. Now come to bed.” Leading him by the hand, I started pulling him toward a bed. I’ll admit one thing. This female human body does have some benefits.
