That One Time Celestia and Luna Married the Mane Six

First published 12th of January, 2021

Have you ever gotten so drunk you forgot you offered the princesses' hoof in marriage to whoever brought your sister back? And how many 'es' there are in 'Princess'?

After Luna had been banished to the moon, Celestia got drunk, real drunk. Drunk enough to make up several laws she completely forgot about for a thousand years. What happens when Luna discovers one of these laws, and what's worse, she actually likes the sound of it.

Complete chaos as the mane six now find themselves unintentionally being wed to two Princesses.

Very much inspired by the old: Six Brides for Two Sisters story by Equus Palladus.

Chapter One: When Drunks Write Laws

Being the Princess of the Sun, ruler of all of Equestria, and arguably the best princess was all well and good. The problem was that despite anything else she was a servant to the people as much as any leader was. In some, few, rare, and exceptional cases this meant she was given a task, a requirement that she had little to no interest in doing. For her part she had been very good at burying any and all of the nonsense requests, whether through bribery, blackmail or even darker means on rare occasions. Not every one of these ancient traditions were able to be washed away.

For her part she did have a team of trusted ponies whose job it was to find such things and remove them before anypony could ever discover them. Yet in all of her infinite wisdom there was one that had slipped through the cracks, one that she had made so, so long ago she had completely forgotten its existence. One that she feared should it be discovered by the pony it would affect, this might cause an uproar in Equestria the likes of which hadn’t been seen since the Eclipse War.

So there she was, spending an entire day not talking to her ponies that wished an audience. Avoiding budgeting meetings. Not mingling with the nobles she needed to keep a closer eye on. Not even going to her school…. Worst of all she missed her afternoon cake.

No she was busy digging around as hard as she could in these archives. Praying, hoping and digging for what she needed. In her pursuit she had found several laws forgotten, including that before anypony was allowed to bring her bad news they must first bring her cake… she was going to bring this one up more often later. Who knows, could be useful.

Honestly she had only written this law shortly after Luna’s banishment and after about three barrels of ale. It should not have actually come into existence. Should Luna find it… should she even hear of it… or imagine it… oh this would be bad.

Still digging through the old texts and laws, ancient pages and scrolls that if not for the magic binding them to this world would have actually turned into dust, she began to realize something that had her scared. These pages had smudges on them. As if dust had been wiped clean from them, and recently at that. Had somepony actually found it? If they had…

It was a late night evening and Twilight stood on her balcony watching as the sun faded over the horizon, the last bit of pink slowly vanishing from sight reminded her of Celestia and somehow that made her feel sad. Knowing that the Princess she loved was so far away yet so close at the same time. It was possible she needed more than just a few days of spending time with her.

After all it had been four years ago when Twilight saved Celestia from the most devastating and dangerous of all her enemies. The dreaded cucumber. After that Celestia promised to wed Twilight, only when Twilight was ready. She hadn’t brought it up again, not even once, and Twilight was grateful for that, not because she didn’t want to marry her princess, but because the older she got the more she began to realize all the things that came with marriage.

Being Celestia’s loving house wife, cleaning their quarters, cooking food, and waiting eagerly for her to come home from a busy day of princess duty were all fine and good. It was only after talking with Cadance about it that she began to realize the more… private things that might need doing. It wasn’t that she was unwilling to do marital things with Celestia, it was that she was embarrassed to be so ignorant of them. It wasn’t until two years ago even that she realized when ponies said they slept together they did not mean it in a literal sense.

To say she had been a bit upset and far more embarrassed about it was an understatement. There were many more things she didn’t know either. Currently she didn’t feel like going to bed because for some reason her mind kept forcing her to dream of Celestia in those kinds of ways, but not just Celestia, Luna was there too…

Just outside Twilight saw two ponies she was very familiar with. Rarity and Applejack were walking side by side on this late evening. A few giggles escaping from the mares. They looked happy as could be, so happy in fact even their tails were entwined with one another’s. Twilight listened into their conversation a little.

Rarity was speaking. “Darling, thank you for this late night walk home.”

Applejack lowered her hat. “Of course, Ah ain’t about to let you go alone, Sugarcube.”

Rarity giggled some more. “Aw, thank you. Maybe you’d like to come in for some refreshments before going home?”

Applejack’s eyes were hidden by her hat but her smile was genuine. “Ah reckon Ah could stay a few minutes, or hours.”

“Good, because Sweetie is gone for the evening and the place will be all ours.”

Twilight watched them walking away together. Sounded like they were planning a sleepover all by themselves. She was so happy for them. The first sleepover they had at her place had gone terribly wrong. She didn’t’ even get the chance to play truth or dare properly… meaning she didn’t get to have her first practice kiss. With nopony but Pinkie wanting to do a sleepover after that, she never really got that chance… oh Celestia, Twilight didn’t even know how to kiss. How could she ever accept marrying Celestia now?

The door opened and Celestia ignored it. Luna’s voice playfully came in along with the hooves of a trotting princess. “My dearest Sister, what are thou looking for in these old dusty books?”

Celestia made a sour face and continued the search. Even with Luna here she could just burn it and be done with it. “Nothing.”

“Oh ho, but thou hast been here for many an hour now, even missing afternoon cake.”

Celestia froze… wait, Luna was in here… “What time is it?”

“I believe it is past our mutual brinner, or dreackfest.”

“We missed our meal… I’m so sorry, dear sister, I didn’t mean-“

Luna put a hoof up to silence her. “It is quite alright. I know that if there is something bothering you so greatly that you’d spend all night in here there would be a real reason to worry. Hmm…” Luna eyed the shelf Celestia was working on. “These seem to be ancient laws, most of which are quite forgotten if I were to guess. What could be so important about these?”

Celestia resolved to finish this another time. If it was really this late, sleep was going to be needed to continue her search in the morrow. Woe be to anypony who dares attempt to tell her she has other duties to tend to in the meantime.

Celestia shoved what she had pulled down back into their respective boxes and then back onto the shelf. “I fear I may just be imagining things but there are laws here even I cannot remember. See this.” She lifted up the one about receiving cake before bad news. “I believe this applies to both of us.”

Luna smiled. “Oh, I do love this law. I shall see it be put into full effect immediately.”

Celestia smiled. “I thought you would.”

“Too bad that you did not find what you were seeking, my dearest sister.”

Celestia eyed her warily. “Whatever do you mean? I am merely searching for memories of a thousand years ago when things were more simple.”

“Yes, things were simple. You were loved, I was feared. We slay our enemies with great haste and destroy entire kingdoms before they could become more wealthy than us and to the one kingdom that attempted to steal our cake, the Kingdom of Green Lush Plants and Snow… I believe it has become the badlands to the far south now.”

Celestia nodded. “Darker times yes, but simpler.”

“Oh but too bad the one thing you were seeking is still not here. I wonder, wherever could it have gotten to?”

Celestia stared at her. “I found what I wanted…”

“Oh did you? SO you were not seeking to find a comprising law and destroy it before it was found?”

“Of course not.” Celestia smiled. “Would I ever do such a thing?”

Luna matched her tone. “Of course not.”

Celestia nodded and began walking to the door. “Then I shall see you in the morning.” The door closed just as she was about to leave. She looked back and saw Luna with an old scroll levitating by a dark blue aura.

Luna giggled. “Oh, so you really were not trying to abolish or destroy any law before I found it? None whatsoever?”

Celestia swallowed. She couldn’t see what the scroll was but she didn’t have to try too hard to guess. “Of- Of course not.”

“You keep saying that, dear sister…” Luna laughed. “So I suppose that we should get ready then.”

Celestia felt herself backing up, her rear bumped into the door. “R-ready for what?”

“For our mutual weddings.”

Celestia’s eyes widened. “Luna!”

Luna looked back with mischievous eyes. “Oh, so you thought I didn’t know? How many years have I been sitting on this one? You wouldn’t know. At first it sounded a little bit scary, but the more I met them, the more I got to like them and even call them friends, the more I realized that this one law you hid, the one you forgot, was beautiful and perhaps, my saving grace from loneliness. It certainly solves the issue with you dissolving our harem. Let me tell you dear sister, a thousand years on the moon tends to leave one very frustrated, and six loving brides is enough… just barely, to fix that.”

Failing to not imagine her sister bedding the six mares in question aside, it was time for Celestia to be serious. “Luna, that law was written when I was drunk. There is no reason we should consider it viable. It should be banished immediately.”

“You would banish my happiness from the world once again?”

A rock caught in Celestia’s throat as she stared at her sister. There was a mixture of pain and sorrow in those eyes. Underneath it all maybe even a hint of anger. “Of course n-“

“DO NOT, say those three words again.” Luna met those eyes. “I say, this would have been something I could agree to destroying when I first arrived. Now I realize how lonely I am, how lonely we both are, and how much I feel toward these mares. This law, this one law, strives to fix all of that. Of course I wouldn’t want to force them to do anything unkind but we are Princesses after all, who is to say they would ever deny us our request. Or… in this case mandate.”

Celestia swallowed. “Luna, please…”

Luna closed her eyes and shook her head. “Tis fine… I… I do not have to be happy. I can go back to being alone. You can enjoy your sun, your love, and the warmth of ponies around you. I have never once had a problem with being heartbroken.”

Celestia swallowed. “Luna… I… I want to hear what you have to say.”

“Oh? Really now?”

“Yes.”

Luna smiled and jumped in the air with a grin on her face. “Oh my dearest sister I so wished you would have said so earlier. This wedding will be extravagant. Beautiful and full of mirth. Nopony shall ever feel sad, or lonely, or cry themselves to sleep early in the morning because they do not have somepony to hold them again. Instead we shall now have six whole ponies to hold us, to cuddle us, to love us, to-“ Luna’s eyes took on a shine they had no right too as her smile dipped into the more provocative territory, “-make love to us.”

Celestia wished so badly, so so badly she had not recalled this law had ever been made, or failing that to have never made it in the first place. Perhaps Discord could help with- no, knowing him he was laughing himself in two. Of course she was stuck with this now.

Luna met Celestia’s eyes. “So you would not deny us this pleasure… would you?”

“Of… course not.”

Luna squeed as she bounced for joy. Her horn lit up. “Great news, my dear sister. I have already made most of the preparations as well, even hired one mare in question to make all of our dresses, they have been in preparation for months now.”

“MONTHS!”

“YES! I knew you’d be excited. Clearly you were looking for this law to make sure it was accurate and that you could give me the most wonderful present of all time. There are so many ponies waiting in secret for this. Thank you!” Luna’s horn took on a brighter glow and she vanished from sight leaving the scroll to fall gently to the ground.

Celestia looked at it and realized not only was this just a copy of the scroll it was one of a hundred so copies… Luna was not going to let this one go and Celestia did not want to start another war with her because Luna had her heart broken and her hope for love taken away. She wished dearly that they could all forgive her for this. After all Celestia had written this law well before they were born, or their parents were born, or their grandparents or their grand-grand-grandparents.

She was starting to feel really old.

Celestia looked at the scroll and read it to herself.

“Henceforth from this day. Anypony or group of ponies that are able to rescue my baby sister Luna from her evil ways and bring her to my side once more shall have not only my hoof in marriage but my sisters as well. In fact, it won’t even be a request, they shall have to marry us both. In the royal marriage kind of way.

Signed, The most tragically sad and downtrodden of all princesses, Princess Celestia.”

Oh… she was really drunk when she wrote this.

The poor elements of harmony were about to awaken to a whole new world and there was really nothing she could do to stop it less she create a whole new war in the process… Could it be so bad for her to ask her sister to be sane and mature for once in her life instead of finding some new way to cause strife?

“Of course not…”

Chapter Two: When Cucumbers Attack

It was in times of great stress and panic that Celestia usually found herself the champion of the cause to fight off the darkness that had began the entire conflict. When the conflict, panic, and stress were all caused by her it was an entirely different idea. It had been a restless night and now it was far too early in the morning. Pacing back and forth in her room her mind was rapidly thinking of how to get out of this situation. Luna seemed overjoyed by the idea of the marriage, Celestia was bound to her own laws for better or worse if she wanted to avoid causing another Nightmare Moon. After years of being freed one would assume that Luna would have become sensible, but instead she had become increasingly playful, erratic, and dare she say chaotic. Not in a bad way, well not usually, but this time it was too much. She had to do something to rectify this situation and soon. Her and the future of the elements of harmony all relied on it.

It truly was a shame running away was not an option. The last pony who tried to run from Princess Luna found that Luna had one very good tactic to find anypony. She could find their dreams. The events of that day still haunted Celestia’s memory… and that was just last week.

Luckily Luna had some small amount of tact and hadn’t publically announced the weddings as such. Still, knowing Luna the plans were already in place for said announcement and one single drop of word would likely be enough for Luna to enact them and force everything to go her way in a less than pleasing manner.

Celestia’s plan so far. Deal with the marriage, hope that Twilight doesn’t completely break in the process and that Luna doesn’t break anypony else either. Or break her sister’s heart and risk her turning evil. Or… Celestia could just go evil herself. What was that name she had planned for herself if she ever did, Solar Flare?

The floor she was pacing on was smoldering and had black singe marks in the shape of her hooves. She was getting too upset with this and her emotions were running amuck. If this continued she might accidently burn the castle down before they even began the marriage… oh by her own name, she didn’t want to think about the actual marriage.

Wait, it wasn’t too late now was it? Surely she could just talk to her sister, explain how she viewed the marriages. That would work wouldn’t it? Probably not, but she could at least try, now what was the most believable excuse she could come up with?

Celestia’s horn lit up and she teleported herself into Luna’s room. Celestia landed on top of Luna’s bed pinning her little sister down and staring into those eyes as they shot wide open. Luna swallowed looked around and tried uselessly to move. A quiet sigh escaped her lips. “It is this dream again I see… well doth what thou came here for and be quick.”

Celestia blinked. “What?”

“Thou art a dream construct here to use me like a newly wed bride are you not?” Luna asked.

Celestia blinked and pulled away from her sister, just enough to give them some breathing room but still holding her down. “WHAT?”

Luna blinked, and then giggled. “Oh, it is not a dream then. Fine, do this quickly and be done with it, we have other mares to please soon as the marriage is ready.”

Celestia was feeling incredibly uncomfortable now. As Luna began laughing she realized she had been played. A glare from Celestia did nothing to stop Luna from laughing. “The look upon your face sister, it is worth more than a thousand of words.”

“Luna I am here for serious reasons!”

Luna’s laughter slowed down, but didn’t’ entirely stop. “Go on.”

“I… I am worried about this marriage of ours.”

Luna rolled her eyes. “What is to worry about, I have set all the plans in motion, and even have the greatest of wedding planners in charge of this.”

“Pinkie Pie knows!”

“No not the pink one, this is her wedding after all, what kind of surprise would it be if she had planned it. No, I have somepony better suited for the task of romance.”

Celestia narrowed her eyes. “I’m not doing this.”

“But why?” Luna tried to get up only to realize she was still pinned beneath Celestia’s rather weighty rump. “Whatever could be wrong with them? Or is it me, do you not want to share them?”

Celestia could already hear a twinge of pain in her sister’s voice. “I… Luna the last time I had any romantic experience was over five hundred years ago.”

Luna blinked. “So shouldn’t you be happy to receive all the romance you could dream of from six lovely brides?”

Celestia shook her head. Now time for the ‘not as much of a lie’ as she had originally believed. “I’m scared.”

Luna stared up at her. “But… but… why? Surely they wouldn’t reject you.”

“I haven’t been close to anypony like that in so long, what if I am not… not good enough for them. Things have changed in these modern times. I fear I do not know enough to make this work. So please, can we call it off?”

Luna smiled and her horn lit up. A gentle aura stroked over Celestia’s cheek. “Oh my sister, my dear big sister, I have already anticipated your fears. Please do not fret for I promise, you will be more than ready to please any of their desires. Thou are beautiful and lovely.”

Somehow that hit a spot that Celestia wasn’t ready for… she sniffled and shook her head. Not the point, Celestia shoved her new fear into the vault in the back of her mind. It would be okay. Wait, what did Luna just say. “Luna, what do you mean by ready?”

Luna met her eyes. “I have asked for some ponies skilled in such things to help you learn. They have already taught me much. I could… help you learn in private if you’d like. Thou are already in my bed after all.”

Celestia shivered at the implication. No, no, no, no, and more no. Something else, anything else. “TWILIGHT!”

Luna rolled her eyes. “I also recognized this as a potential problem. Fear not, I shall let you take full responsibility for her if you choose to be selfish. I would like a taste but it is understandable that she is special to you and you may feel inclined to keep her that way.”

Oh… that didn’t work. None of this was working. Luna was out scheming her. Out, scheming, her. What could she do in this situation…

Luna’s horn faired and a line of invisible energy was drawn across Celestia’s flank bringing a gasp from Celestia and causing her to roll backwards out of the bed. She stared up at Luna with wide eyes and feeling her heart beat threaten to break out of her chest. “Luna!”

Luna smiled and patted to the empty place next to her. “If thou are to continue disrupting my much needed rest, at least offer me a replacement for sleep.”

Celestia’s horn lit up and in a golden flash she had teleported herself as far away as possible. Or at least back into her own private quarters. She could practically hear the laughter of her sister through the walls. Well… this had failed. Go with plan B, turn evil and destroy everything in sight hoping that all copies of said law were burned along with it?

Or she could just go eat some breakfast, drink a gallon of coffee, and pray that another idea came to her before Luna had a wedding date set. Yeah, she’d do the latter one. Evil Celestia could wait, until after coffee at the very least.

Once Celestia got to the breakfast table, she was surprised to find she was not having breakfast alone. In fact she had a wonderful treat and distraction waiting for her. Two ponies who might just be able to help her find a solution, or failing that maybe a way to banish herself to the sun. It had be better than whatever devious thoughts going through Luna’s head, and apparently dreams were.

Cadance and Shining armor were both here to visit. Surely still working towards making a baby but with the low rates of alicorn pregnancy the chances were… minimal. It also explained why Cadance hadn’t turned her husband into an immortal alicorn yet. She wanted a baby first, if at all possible. Celestia had tried that once, for several hundred years.

“Good morning, Auntie!” Cadance said in a bright cheerful tone.

Shining Armor nodded. “Princess Celestia.”

She let out a sigh. “You are a prince now, dear. You can stop calling me princess.”

“Sorry old habits die hard.”

She smiled and took a drink of her coffee. It was black, dark and bitter just like her mood had been since she discovered Luna’s plans last night. Still the comfort of Cadance being here was more than enough for her to start to relax. A bite of her pancake drenched in caramel was also helpful.

Celestia was at least polite enough to swallow before speaking. “So, what brings you two here to visit me today? You haven’t given up on foaling have you?”

Cadance waved a hoof. “Of course not. Still trying to do that. Actually been considering asking Discord if he might be willing to help since he’s become such good friends with the others recently.”

“You know what he’ll do if he does. You will have a hundred babies and they will all, each and every one of them, look somewhat like Discord… or Twilight Sparkle. Whatever he thinks is funnier.”

Cadance laughed. “Relax, it was a joke.”

Celestia let out a sigh. “Sorry, I have just been exposed to enough absurd situations today to make this day awkward.”

Cadance smiled. “So we aren’t just here on a family visit as you probably guessed. Luna asked us to help you like we did her… and I think we know why.”

Celestia gave them both a weary look. Oh… no.

Cadance was smiling brighter than ever before and Shining Armor was as well. In unison they both announced. “You’re finally going to marry Twilight!”

“Excuse me?” Celestia asked, her tone as dry and flat as the surface of the moon.

Cadance was still smiling bright as ever. “We know you and her have been engaged for some years now. After the whole ‘event that should never be mentioned’ you promised to marry her.”

Celestia stared at them darkly. They were in on the joke. They had to be. This whole thing was a massive prank by Luna, that or a she was dreaming. “Remind me of this event?”

Shining Armor looked around making sure that there was indeed nopony else in the dining hall. There wasn’t. “With the cucumber?”

Celestia growled. “What of a cucumber and how does this relate to any marriages?”

Cadance’s eyes widened ever so slightly. “Don’t you remember? You accidently threw a fireball into the kitchen causing an explosion. Fruit, vegetables and pasta went everywhere. One of the cucumbers came flying out of the kitchen and landed right inside your… um well it ended up stuck inside of you and since you couldn’t see it and were already so stressed you couldn’t remove it yourself. Shining Armor took one look and fainted.”

Shining Armor swallowed. “I did not. I tactically passed out. Anyway, you were about to have a really important meeting with a dignitary from another country and only me and Twilight had seen where the cucumber had gone. With me in a very intelligently planned nap she had to come to the rescue.”

Cadance nodded. “Didn’t she have to end up using her teeth and hooves because her magic was too dangerous to remove it?”

Shining Armor shivered. “I don’t want to think about that…”

Cadance added. “Well after that you promised Twilight anything she wanted she could have, anything at all. She immediately asked for you to marry her and you said and I quote, ‘of course I’ll marry you, just let me know when and I’ll do that, right after I am done making sure nopony remembers this event less they have more than a cucumber shoved in places they do not belong.”

Celestia stared at them. Oh by the dark side of her sister’s moon, she remembered that. She did everything in her power to block out that memory including Twilight’s request… oh… well at least it explains why Luna was willing to not try and steal Twilight from her, but this did mean two things. One, now she was going to have to try and find a way out of this marriage with all six of them, and two she needed to find a way out of marrying what was essentially her daughter.

Celestia then had a much more horrified thought. “You two came, knowing that I would be marrying Twilight Sparkle, so that you could teach me-“

Shining Armor replied. “How to bang my sister, yes. She’s still a virgin and at this point it’s kinda my job to help her get rid of that.”

Cadance laughed. “It’s only weird because Twilight’s a mare, if she were a stallion nopony would be weirded out by that.”

“I believe in equal virginity loss for all sexes.”

Cadance gave him a stare that promised things it really, really shouldn’t in this context. “So do I, hun.”

Chapter Three: When Princesses Dream of Love

There Twilight was on the most lavish, massive bed. Soft and cozy with a sea of red blanket all around her. Twilight moved her lips to ask what she was doing here or where she was only to find her mind not able to latch onto the question strong enough to actually vocalize it. The bed sunk in next to her and she saw a massive dark blue form. A wing fell over her back pulling her close into a warm, almost hot embrace. Looking up from the cover of the wing she saw Luna’s face looking down at her. Slowly the face moved closer to hers. No words were spoken, none were needed as she made her intention clear soon enough with her lips pressing against Twilight’s.

Hot fire raced through Twilight’s face but she couldn’t fight it. A tongue slipped into her mouth, hot, huge, almost choking. Behind her she felt something wet run up against the fur on her flank. Luna let go of Twilight so she could swing her head back to see Celestia there, her tongue licking Twilight’s cutie mark with a glazed look in her eyes.

What in Equestria was going on? Why did Luna kiss her like that? Why was Celestia licking her there? Twilight couldn’t figure it out. This felt familiar. Almost like she’d done this many, many times before. Her mind snapped onto the idea. She was asleep.

Twilight’s eyes opened and she stared up at the wooden ceiling of her tree house. She was on her bed, alone, those weird thoughts from the dream running through her mind. Why was she thinking about something so… weird. She shook her head and pushed herself up. These were not her normal dreams and she was starting to get concerned about them. They were so strange, so inappropriate that she couldn’t very well bring them up to any of her friends. What would they say if they found out she had such disgusting ideas, about her fellow princesses none the less? And why two of them? She could understand if it was just Celestia but why Luna?

The worst part was when she checked her bed, she realized she needed to take a bath and clean her sheets… again. Well at least it gave her a reason to clean herself, it wasn’t exactly unknown for her to go a few days without bathing, especially if she was in the middle of an important study. Of which she needed to find one, immediately before her mind dared focus too much on the dream she just woke from.

After cleaning herself, and her bed, she made her way downstairs to the kitchen where Spike was sitting at the table eating a pancake. There was a nice stack of them in the middle of the table and plenty of syrup left for them too. Grabbing herself a nice small stack of them was just what she needed after such an interruption to her normal perfect and scheduled life. She partially wondered if she could ask Luna to cancel her dreams somehow, if these were going to persist she would have to do something.

Spike was giving her a sly grin. “So… how’d you sleep?”

“Awful… again.”

“Oh come on, being molested by the two princesses can’t be that bad.”

“Why don’t you try having these dreams then and tell me if you like them.”

“I probably would.”

Twilight glared at him and jabbed a fork into the pancake pulling a nice meaty chunk out and stuffing it into her mouth. “Why am I having weird dreams?”

“You’re probably in heat and need to take care of some of that frustration.”

Twilight stared at him. “If you mean pleasuring myself, Spike, I’ll have you know I have a scheduled time for that and it had not solved the issue. Being in heat is also something I can deal with using an assortment of spells to minimize the effects.”

“Maybe you should marry Celestia already and get it over with. I’m sure she’d be willing to do some of that stuff with you.”

Twilight gagged on her next bite of food almost spitting it back out before managing to swallow it. “SPIKE! I… you… how could………. Ugh!”

“Hey, she might even let you have a threesome with her and Luna?”

Twilight stared at him. “A threesome? A three of some what?”

Spike closed his eyes. “Right, super virgin over here… you know what, just tell Celestia about your dream and I’m sure she’ll show you.”

“I am not ever going to tell her about these dreams. Even when we do get married and she wants to do the um… the um… naughty stuff… I won’t tell her. It’s like anytime somepony tells me of them fantasizing about my brother. It’s gross.”

Spike laughed. “Sure, sure. And those recurring dreams have absolutely no meaning whatsoever. You’re not secretly wanting to bed Celestia or anything.”

“Precisely. Not that I even really know what most of what’s going on in those dreams are… it’s just all weird.”

“You really don’t want to do that with Celestia?”

“Well… m-maybe the kissing… a little.”

Spike raised an eyebrow. “And nothing else?”

“I...” Twilight’s ears folded back and she lowered her head a little. “I wouldn’t even know what to do, Spike. She’d probably be disappointed in me.”

“You could ask your friends to help you with that you know.”

Twilight glared at him. “You’re not helping.”

“So let me get this straight; you don’t want to do anything about this, you just want to have these weird dreams until the day you die.”

Twilight felt her heart sinking. “No…”

Spike rolled his eyes. “Tell you what, how about I just get a mare mag for you, and you can learn through study instead of practice, like you always do.”

“A mare mag?”

Spike grinned devilishly. “Oh… I think you’ll like them.”

“R-really? And they’ll help me?”

“Sure.” He hopped down from his chair and began walking off. “I’ll bring one back for you.”

Twilight stared after him. “Where are you going?”

“Big Mac’s.”

“Could you ask Rarity to come here on your way? I might have some um, questions for her.”

Spike shrugged. “Want me to bring the others as well?”

“Why would you do that?”

Spike looked back at her. “Because all of you are having the same weird dreams about Celestia and Luna, especially Luna.”

Twilight stood up leaning her forelegs on the table. “All of us! Even Fluttershy?”

“Yep.”

Twilight bit her lower lip. “It makes so much sense now. It’s some kind of plot.”

“I’ll say.”

“Then you agree with me! There is a plot a hoof. A big plot!”

Spike giggled. “A big nasty plot, right in your face.”

“YES!” twilight thought about it. It was so strange for them to all be having dreams like this. Especially Fluttershy. “I mean, I don’t think Fluttershy has any weird dreams unless they involve animals.”

Spike looked back at her. “Did your really just say that?”

“Yes, Fluttershy has weird dreams about animals. Usually touching her. Why?”

Spike laughed. “Okay, fine enough with me. She seems lonely enough.”

“Spike, tell the others that our dreams are being tainted. There is magical taint in our dreams, and a nasty big plot as well!”

Spike laughed even harder. “Magical, taint!”

“Yes, and it is rubbing off on all of us!”

Spike walked away laughing even harder than before. He could jest all he wanted about this but clearly there was magic ahoof and Twilight was going to find out whose plot this was and stop it even if it meant burying her muzzle into it to find the answers. Somepony or something was influencing their dreams.

She listened to the door closing behind him. Maybe he was right, she would have to contact Celestia after all… and she just sent her letter sender away… oops.

Celestia watched in wide eyed horror as Cadance’s horn was alit. An all too real illusion of herself and Twilight were on the breakfast table and life sized. With Celestia mounting Twilight using some kind of… tool. Shining Armor had watched at first, his face paled, and then his head had lulled back and he was thankfully passed out. Something she dearly envied him for.

“C-Cadance, I d-don’t think Twilight would be so bold!” Celestia managed to finally say after a few too many minutes of this image and Cadance explaining how proper hip motions made the process easier but it would be tricky to find the right motion at first with their size difference.

Cadance’s horn flickered and the image vanished. “Oh… I suspect you are right. Hmm, maybe this then.” The image reappeared only with the roles reversed and Celestia was on the receiving end.

Celestia stood up and slammed her hooves on the table. “Cadance Cadenza!”

Cadance rolled her eyes and the image vanished. “My my, Auntie you are such a prude, this is hardly even that exotic. Don’t you want to please your bride?”

To use the word flustered was like calling a raging river a trickle of water. “I don’t think Twilight even knows what sex is!”

Cadance stared at her for a long moment. Worked her mouth in silence and then said, “O-of curse she does. She has too. She’s surely read about how ponies are made.”

Celestia glared at her. “Yes, read about breeding. Not sex.”

Cadance froze. Her eyes widened. “Oh… I completely forgot who our target was… um… hmm… You’re going to want to go easy on her than. Maybe try this one.” Her horn lit up and although the image was much less revolting and extreme, and much more soft and gentle, the kind of thing she could see herself doing with Twilight, literally as in it was actually being shown to her on the breakfast table, which she now realized needed to be cleansed in the holy light of the sun, she still found it disgusting.

Having had enough of this torture Celestia lifted a spoon brought it to Cadance’s horn, pulled the tip back so that it bent backwards and let go. The spoon came flinging forward whacking the pink horn with just enough force to disrupt the spell and make Cadance yelp in pain. She rubbed at her horn and shot a dirty look at Celestia. “Auntie! I am just trying to help. Luna said you’d be nervous about the wedding night.”

Celestia grumbled. “I am the Princess of the Sun. I do not get nervous of such trivial things. My body alone is so hot that any mare could pleasure themselves by pure look alone. A simple touch enough to cause shivers of delight and orgasmic ripples across their body. Why should I need such tools or positions for these things?”

Cadance laughed. “Did you just call yourself hot?”

Celestia stared at her. “Well… it’s true. I have caught Pinkie Pie attempting to fry eggs on my rump before… to… actual success.”

Cadance stared at her. “You let Pinkie do that?”

“Let, and discovered only after I smelled the delightfully and thoughtfully cooked breakfast are two very different things. I shall say though, they had a slightly smoky flavor to them that was not unreasonable.”

Shining Armor was shaken from his state of unconsciousness and his first words were. “You let Pinkie do that to you, but you’re too afraid to let Twilight touch you?”

Cadance smiled. “My thoughts exactly.”

Celestia glared at the two of them. “I would be very careful. I do have the ability to melt the entire frozen north you know.”

Cadance rolled her eyes. “Oh spare me, you would never do that and risk harming an innocent pony. You’re too much of a softy.”

They were playing with fire here and Celestia was about to remind them of that when she decided to change tactics. “So, what would happen if I did cancel all of my half of the weddings. Twilight could still find happiness with Luna I’m sure.”

Shining Armor’s eyes widened a little. “If you canceled with the others, sure, it would be weird and probably insulting for them that you would think yourself too good for them. Twilight on the other hoof… She would lose it.”

Cadance sighed. “It’s true. She has asked me so many times for advice on how to be a proper wife and I have to admit, I’m not the best mare to answer all of those questions. Her hopes and dreams are on being your house wife. She’s even asked me where you and her would live or if you’d take turns living in the palace and then her tree house.”

Celestia waived a hoof. “Nonsense, we could live anywhere, I am the Princess and she is one as well. We could get a cozy home in the country side if she wanted to play house wife so…” she cut herself off. She shouldn’t be answering this question. She was trying to find a way out of this, for herself if nothing else.

Cadance smiled. “I’m glad to hear it, that’s pretty much what I told her too. She’s so cute when flustered though.”

Even Celestia had to concede to that. Twilight with pink cheeks, a little confused and frustrated about a situation, especially with that one single tear in the corner of her eye. She was so sweet when upset. All Celestia would want to do would be to pick Twilight up, hold her close. Gently stroking her massive wings down Twilight’s back until they reached those precious virginal flanks. A gasp drawing from Twilights lips as her frustration turned to something new, something surprised yet inviting.

There was a cold glass of water nearby, Celestia lifted it up with a golden aura, brought it over her head and dumped it down. The water evaporated before it even touched her turning into steam… “Mother of me…”

Cadance suppressed a small giggle and the pink aura faded from her horn. “Thinking anything fun now?”

Celestia growled. “Love Princess, be careful where you use that infectious magic of yours, it might just be your last. As for disappointing Twilight and her probably lifelong dream of marrying me, you were saying?”

Cadance let out a sigh. “With how obsessed she is over you, she might just lose it. Like completely snap. I imagine evil villain Twilight corrupting her friends and then turning against you in a plot to destroy the kingdom and make sure that love could never hurt anypony again.”

Shining Armor grunted. “I’ve uh… You might find I’ve drawn up battle plans for it already. Full well knowing I could never defeat her myself I have trained a unit of guard specifically to defeat Twilight if she ever turn evil. Of course that was before she became an alicorn… I’m sure they could distract her while you fled as far as you possible could though.”

Cadance added. “Not to mention Luna. I fear Luna might have some attraction toward her as well. It is very possible Luna could turn into Nightmare Moon and marry Twilight and use the power of EVIL LOVE! Against all of us.”

Celestia stared at them. “Seriously?”

Cadance shrugged. “That or Twilight could try taking her own life?”

Celestia replied, “But, but she’s an alicorn, she cannot die! Not by any traditional means anyway.”

Shining Armor added. “Imagine then, a scenario where Twilight tries, in ever increasingly horrible and morbid ways to off herself. Eventually coming to you, limbs barely attached by bloody sinew, wings full of rotting holes, an eye missing and blood pooling all around her and her pleading with you to end her misery.”

Celestia stood up. Her ears twitched. Why, why could she see it so clearly in her mind. The worst part was that in that situation, seeing such a horrible awful situation where a zombie pony would look healthy compared to Twilight, that she would actually use the full power of the sun too… too…

Celestia galloped off. “NO! I shall not let this happen. I need a letter and wax. PINK WAX!”

Cadance and Shining were right behind her. Cadance was the first to ask. “What are you doing?”

Celestia grunted in reply as she galloped. “If she may react that poorly to me rejecting her purposely, how do you think she will react to finding out that she would be sharing me with others? No, I must explain this to her myself and immediately. I will apologize and explain that she will be taking my full focus and attention. You said she wants to be a house wife?”

Cadance nodded. “Yes?”

“Then she shall have the best house in all of Equestria!”

It would only occur to Celestia a little later on that perhaps, just perhaps both Shining and Cadance were using extreme examples. Then again with Twilight being an extreme pony, who would know?

Chapter Four: When Letters are Written

Spike was making his way leisurely through town. Honestly he thought Twilight was blowing this whole thing out of proportions. They were just having some kinky dreams, nothing wrong with that. There were a lot dreams Spike had, most of which were unmentionable. Still the way she had phrased it made him chuckle.

It was with some luck that on his way to Sweet Apple Acres he actually saw all five of their friends standing around as if waiting for something. Not exactly uncommon, sometimes he felt like they just sat around waiting for Twilight to summon them to deal with some kind of problem. It was almost like their lives revolved around random craziness happening and dealing with it. The curse of being a hero he figured.

At least this time there seemed to be more reason to it as he heard Rarity say, “So we’re in agreement, Twilight has been locked up in her home for far too long and we need to get her out of that library and into motion.”

Everypony nodded.

Rarity smiled. “Then let’s do it. Let’s- Spike! Darling!”

He rolled his eyes as he made his way to her. “Sup, Rarity?”

“Oh we’re just talking about how to get Twilight to come out more. I’m so glad you’re here. You could-“

He raised a claw. “Actually, Rarity, that’s kind of why I’m here. Twilight had two missions for me today. One: to grab all of you and tell you that you need to go her place for an emergency meeting. Two: to get some educational material for her from Big Mac.”

Applejack cut in. “What kind of educational material could mah brother have?”

Spike laughed. “Nothing important.”

Rarity chimed in. “So, what does Twilight need for us? What is this emergency meeting about?”

Spike laughed harder. “In her words she wants to talk about ‘rubbing magical taint all over your dreams’.” A howl of laughter escaped him as everypony stared at him with wide eyes. Fluttershy even squeaked. “I don’t think she has any idea what that means though. So-“ Looking at Rainbow Dash and Applejack. “-have fun.”

He walked off and listened in just long enough to hear Rainbow Dash snicker. Yep, Twilight was going to have to deal with this and before he came back he was going to get some popcorn to watch the show. Poor Twilight, she really had no idea what was in store for her.

For some time Celestia sat at her desk, an open scroll and quill floating in her golden aura. The pink wax was already prepared by her side so she could make sure it gave the correct impression when received. Still, there was one singular problem. “I have no idea how to write this letter.”

Cadance chuckled slightly to herself from behind Celestia’s left. “It’s alright Auntie, that’s what we’re here to help with.”

From behind Celestia’s right Shining Armor added, “And with me here I can make sure it will be a letter that Twilight will not completely freak out about.”

Celestia bit her lower lip. “As you had mentioned earlier, it would be one thing if it was just I who was marrying Twilight Sparkle. When it is both me and my sister, and we are marrying all of Twilight’s friends… This will prove the most difficult task.”

Cadance replied. “Are you sure it won’t be trying to figure out the order in which you bed all six of them?”

Celestia shot a glare back at Cadance, one that could almost melt metal… instead it only singed the edges of Cadance’s mane. “Cadance, if you must be here for this letter, please offer me actual assistance, or leave.” She glanced at Shining Armor. “You on the other hoof, I may need you to proof read this one… never before have I needed somepony to help edit a letter of mine but this one carries more weight than any letter I’ve ever sent to Twilight.”

Cadance made a soft neigh. “Awww, you do care. And here I was thinking you had no intention on marrying Twi-“ she paused as Celestia’s ear twitched. “I think it would be best to start off by telling her how much you love her and will make sure she belongs to you and you alone.”

“Great idea,” Celestia said. Her quill touched the paper and she could already feel her mind shattering as the words she didn’t want to ever think of, were now being clawed out of her mind. This was going to be painful.

Twilight sat upstairs with her friends in a circle. She could already feel her breathing rapidly approaching nervous levels as she felt her body tense up. Everypony was staring at her, waiting for her to explain why they were here. She swallowed up her doubts and attempted to put on a courageous face. “I’m here to talk about a plot.”

Rainbow Dash attempted to hide a laugh, poorly. “Oh yeah, whose?”

“I don’t know yet, but I am going to find out who’s plot it is and get right up in it.” Twilight said determined. Somehow this made Rainbow Dash laugh harder. “You see our dreams are being tainted, somepony is using magical taint to make us have the same kind of dreams.”

Rainbow Dash laughed. “S-so the plot is, to rub magical taint on our dreams?”

Twilight nodded gravely. “Yes, I fear so. Though… the more I think about it I’m not sure that is the most apt description but it does fit. However, there is a problem. A plot hole if you will, I can’t seem to understand why they would do this?”

Applejack snickered. “So yer saying, there is a plot hole now, and what should we do with it?”

Twilight beamed. “Fill it of course. We shall fill the plot hole to discover the truth of who is tainting our dreams.”

For some reason both Applejack and Rainbow Dash burst out into a fit of laughter. Fluttershy was hiding behind her mane with a completely flush face, Pinkie Pie was giggling too. Rarity was the only one who seemed unamused. Only her ire seemed a little more placed on Twilight then the others.

Rarity said, “Twilight, dear… do you have any idea what you are saying? Please tell me that you just discovered how to make mature jokes and are having fun with it.”

Twilight blinked. “Adult jokes? Like… jokes about taxes and bosses?”

Rarity put a hoof over her face. “Oh, Twilight… everything you just said, it could be-“

Rainbow Dash covered Rarity’s mouth with a hoof. “Now come on, don’t ruin the fun just yet. Let her continue. Please, Twilight we’re listening.”

Not quite sure of what was going on she did just that, continued. “So I have heard that each of us have been having um… odd dreams about Princess Luna and Celestia. More, intimate dreams shall we say. Originally I thought it was just me and asked for Rarity to come over so she could help educate me on some of the things going on in these dreams and help me stop having them.”

Rarity shoved Rainbow’s hoof down and exclaimed. “What were you expecting me to do?”

“I’m… not sure.” Twilight’s ears folded back. “I’ve not really thought about this kind of stuff before and you seemed like the only one here who might understand.”

Rarity blinked several times. “I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or an insult.”

Twilight was quick to reply. “It’s not an insult. I trust in your knowledge of such things very much. I’m sure you know more than me, you’ve had a coltfriend before or something right?”

Rarity rolled her eyes. “Darling, I think we’ve all had at least one colt or marefriend.”

Twilight bit her lower lip. “Y-y-yes… um… anyway. Spike told me all of you were dreaming the same things. Even Fluttershy! So I knew something was ahoof. Some kind of nasty plot was being pushed against us. Magical taint being rubbed against our dreams as it would seem. Though I just don’t know why. What kind of pleasure could somepony get from a plot like this?”

That seemed to set Rainbow dash and Applejack off again. Ignoring them Rarity added, “I do agree it is odd that we all have been having these dreams, but I do not think there is any harm to them. Originally I thought maybe it was Luna herself causing them and she was just a little lonely, but why would she have her sister join in as well? Celestia does not strike me as the kind of Princess who would be so frivolous with her love making. Even in dream form. Though I must say, I enjoy the dreams myself.”

Applejack sat up straight. “Hold up a moment, you enjoy them? Rares, what the hay?”

Rarity smiled at her. “They are but mere dreams, AJ.”

Applejack brushed a hoof off on her chest. “Well not all of us are into mares like that.”

Rarity rolled her eyes. “I’ll keep that in mind the next time you come to my home, lonely, sad, and in need of some more mature cuddles.”

Applejack shot a dirty look at her but said nothing.

Twilight was losing track of the conversation again. “Well… pleasant or not for you, I agree with Applejack not all of us like them. I don’t even understand what most of what’s going is or why they keep licking me. Why would they do that? I’m not some kind of ice cream.”

Rarity blinked. “Oh my… you do need some education.”

Twilight stared at her. “See, this is why I originally asked you to-“

Spike came up the stairs with a paper bag in one hand and a bucket of popcorn in the other. He walked up to Twilight set the bag down and said, “Here’s the book you wanted. Well it’s not really a book… and I think you should probably look at it in private.”

He walked over took a seat on the stairs and popped a hand full of popcorn into his mouth. Twilight lifted up the bag opened it up just enough to see what was inside. Some kind of magazine with a mare on the cover striking an invocative pose. She closed the bag and shifted it to be under her wing.”Oh… um… okay… where were we?”

Rarity replied. “We were talking about who or what was causing these strange dreams.”

Twilight nodded. “Of course. You see, even I have to admit that there might be some general interest in the princesses in this way as they are rather… attractive. But what really tipped me off was Fluttershy. There is no way Fluttershy would have dreams like that about somepony, especially not a big scary princess.”

Spike added. “Why don’t you tell them the kind of dreams you thought she’d have.”

“Oh, right,” Twilight added. “She normally has dreams about herself and various animals.”

Every pony gasped for a mere second, before Rainbow Dash hit the floor on her back rolling over with laughter. Fluttershy stood up and stared wide eyed at Twilight. “EXCUSE ME!”

Twilight flinched. “But, but, but Luna said so. You dream about animals touching you in weird ways. Usually making you the um… pet…”

Fluttershy’s ear twitched and her eyes became pinpricks. “Luna, Luna, is lying. I have never, despite what anypony might have made rude references too, dreamt about animals in that way.”

Twilight knew she’d crossed a line, not exactly sure what line, as dreams were as Rarity said, just dreams, but she certainly crossed one. Spike was busy laughing it up on his step and eating popcorn and so she was left on her own. “Of course, I believe you.”

“No you don’t!”

Oh no… she’d never seen Fluttershy actually angry with her. This was scary. She saw what Fluttershy did to that bear, she snapped its back in half. She didn’t want that to happen to her. Something had to help, anything had to help. She looked over just in time to see Spike burp up a magical letter. Everypony looked at him.

“Distraction!” Twilight cried as she grabbed the letter and dragged it over to herself. It had a pink wax seal on it. This was one she’d never seen Celestia use before. She could think about the odd color choice later.

Twilight opened it up and began reading aloud hoping that whatever the contents were the others would forget about Fluttershy’s anger. “My faithful Loving Twilight Sparkle.”

It seemed that caught everypony’s attention even Fluttershy seemed stunned. They weren’t’ the only ones, Twilight wasn’t familiar with this kind of attention either. She continued.

“It has come to my attention that there were several laws written shortly after Luna’s banishment that I had, for no fault of my own, forgotten existed. Once found Luna and me began work towards making these laws come to pass in the most pleasant and peaceful of way.

So it is with regret that I admit I am unable to wait any further until you are ready to marry me. Our marriage will happen in the week and I do so look forward to it. I promise you that, you will belong to me specifically and I will do everything in my power to make you the most happy and comfortable bride in all of Equestria.

Cadance and Shining Armor are helping out of course.

So what were these laws and why are we getting married so soon? Well the main law in question is that whoever should free my sister from her corruption and return her to my side will then take my hoof and my sister’s in royal marriage. Of course you were there to rescue her so you are part of that, in addition to the other elements of harmony. I will keep you up to date as things proceed but please find a way to explain this scenario to your friends as I fear they might have some adverse reactions at first.

With Love, Celestia.”

Well… at least Twilight didn’t have to worry about finding a way to break the news to her friends now.

The entire library fell silent save for the sound of Spike howling with laughter.

Chapter Five: When Midnight Breaks

“So,” Celestia said after sending the letter. “Do you think this will work?”

Piles of half written and thrown way scrolls littered the desk and floor around her. Cadance smiled gently. “After the initial freak out, I’m sure Twilight will hear how much you love her and want only to marry you all that much faster, even if she has to share.”

Celestia let out a sigh. “I do not intend to whore myself out to all six of them.”

Cadance rolled her eyes. “When you are the ruler of Equestria and they are your brides, I do not think that you can ‘whore’ yourself out to them. Though… if you wanted too, I could help with that.”

Celestia had hardly heard Cadance’s last sentence as her mind was still firmly on that of her precious student. In the many years they had known each other Celestia had felt much more like a mother than a mentor. Even trying to picture Twilight in some sort of romantic light gave Celestia shivers of disgust, but hearing how she had inadvertently made herself engaged to Twilight sent even more. There was going to be a lot of hard conversations to be had should she try to get out of this situation. Unless of course if what Cadance and Shining Armor had suggested turned out to be true. In which case, for the good of her student’s fragile mental health and that of the entire nation she would make this small sacrifice and be willing to not only wed Twilight but to please her if need be. Luckily for her she figured Twilight still thought anything more than a kiss was disgusting and weird. That mare had never really grown out of that.

Of course with Luna around that innocence was inevitably going to be shattered. What would Twilight even be like if she became more sexually active than a rock? Her small but shapely rump swaying as she shook her hips. Full lips pouting and eyes looking back suggestively. Her tail flicking back and forth invitingly and showing only the briefest glimpse of her-

Celestia looked at Cadance and noticed the mare was an almost glowing pink. “Cadance, would you mind taking about ten paces away from me while I’m in contemplation. Thank you.”

Cadance giggled and trotted away. The images of Twilight being naughty were beginning to fade but now that she’d seen them all too many times it was going to be hard to forget them. Cadance’s aura of lust was going to be a nightmare in the upcoming week. At least this gave her some time to plan around Luna. How was she going to get herself out of this one? She figured at this point marriage to Twilight was probably, most likely, unavoidable. Marriage to the other five of Twilight’s friends would be easier to start with.

Celestia just needed a way to convince Luna to stop the weddings only something that would make Luna think it was her idea all along. How would Celestia pull that off? Well she had no idea. Shining Armor and Cadance were all for the marriage to Twilight, and probably okay with the other marriages as well… but what if the elements of harmony themselves were not okay with it? Sure the law practically stated they had no choice in the matter but if Luna felt like she was forcing ponies to be unhappy maybe her kindness would kick in and she’d relent… oh wait, Celestia was the one who identified with the element of kindness… her loyalty would kick in and follow the law that was written to its word.

Well failing any attempts at favoring the positive traits that Luna had, she should focus on the vain ones. A cruel smile crept over Celestia’s lips as she rubbed her hooves together. Oh yes, vanity, the one thing that Luna had never truly been able to get rid of. What would happen if these ponies didn’t love her anymore because she forced the marriage upon them? Oh, her heart couldn’t take it so she’d certainly call it off before hoof and at least ask their approval.

Rarity blinked a few times as she stared at Twilight. “Did you just say that we are, as in all of us, are marrying Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?”

Twilight’s horn flickered and the letter dropped a few inches. Her jaw was dropped, eyes wide with mere pinpricks for pupils. Her chest was completely still, it was as if she’d stopped breathing… Oh wait, she had.

“Twilight!” Rarity cried as she reached over and slapped her friend gently across the face.

Twilight sucked in a huge breath and began coughing a few times. Once she was finished she set the letter down and looked about the room. “No.”

The look in Twilight’s eyes hadn’t changed; in fact she was looking even more manic than before. Rarity could feel the panic starting to go through her as well. Certainly she was not against the idea as those dreams had indicated she at least had some interest in both princesses, but this was so sudden. “Twilight, are you su-“

“I said no!” Twilight exclaimed. “No, no, no, no, and more NO!”

Rarity reached out with a gentle hoof and pat Twilight’s shoulder. “Darling, calm down. We can figure this out. I’m sure the arrangements will work ou-“

Twilight’s eyes jerked and looked right into Rarity’s with a piercing gaze that sent a cold shiver running down her spine. “I will not share, I will not get married yet, and NO!”

Rarity jerked back as Twilight’s head jerked from her to each and every one of their friends. “This is not going to happen. I do not care what Celestia or Luna have to say on the matter. We are not marrying them. I-I can hide us. I can take us far away from here and we can hide and nopony will ever find us.”

Pinkie Pie cut in. “But Twilight, I want to marry them!”

Everypony shot a look in her direction. Twilight exclaimed, “What?”

Pinkie Pie rolled her eyes and giggled. “Think about it Twilight. Celestia in front, Luna at the back and Pinkie in the middle. They’ll make a pony sandwich out of me.”

Rarity gulped. “Darling, I do not think that now is the best time to be turned on by the idea of marrying both princesses.”

Twilight sat up straight. “What do you think this is? Some kind of poorly written horror story where ponies get turned into food. They will not turn you into a sandwich they will have sex… I said NO!”

Twilight’s mane and tail was starting to waver as if a nonexistent wind was coursing through her mane and tail. It was happening. It was finally happening. Rarity shot a look at Spike. “Spike, prepare the Midnight Sparkle letter immediately!”

Spike dropped his popcorn, his eyes widened as Twilight began to levitate into the air. He scrambled up the stairs while shouting. “I’m looking now!”

Twilight’s eyes began to glow with teal colored light. Her mane caught fire and floated upwards. Flames of black, magenta, pink and purple were waving above her head. Twilight began screaming. “NO! I refuse to allow this to happen! You will not touch my princess, or any princess for that matter!”

Spike was upstairs he had a scroll with a black ribbon and wax seal on it. One burst of flame later and it was sent. All they could do was pray that Celestia could arrive fast enough to save them all. Rarity had known this day would come eventually, the day where Twilight would eventually snap, go to the dark side, and usher in some kind of apocalypse, they all knew it, even Twilight was aware of the possibility. Every security measure was in place, now they just needed to run.

Except an idea hit Rarity…

Rarity stood up and glared right at Twilight. “Are you really so selfish?”

Twilight, no, Midnight Sparkle glared down at her. “You dare call me selfish, you of all ponies?”

Rarity put a hoof to her chest faking insult. “You wound me, Twilight. Just like you’ve clearly wounded Celestia.”

Midnight Sparkle blinked. “I would never harm a hair on her beautiful, perfect head!”

“But you have wounded her heart by taking so long to accept her marriage proposal!”

Midnight Sparkle froze. Hanging there in the air she looked conflicted down at Rarity. “Explain, mortal!”

“Hmph, I shouldn’t have to explain something so simple to you, but I shall indulge you. Princess Celestia has clearly been looking forward to your marriage for such a long time, but you, you had to go and be too scared to accept it and ask her to marry you. Now she has to resort to some ancient out dated law to force us to marry her too just so she can have you at her side. How long do you think she has gone to sleep alone, cold, and heartbroken wanting nothing more than you at her side?”

Midnight Sparkle began to sink. Her pupils coming back closer to a normal size. “N-no! I am, but, she said I could wait!”

“And do you not think four years has been long enough? She loves you, Twilight. As you love her. Only she’s the one suffering from a broken heart, she probably thinks you don’t even like her anymore.”

Midnight Sparkle landed on her hooves. The hair lost its fiery hue and fell down around her looking more like a wet mess. The colors began to return to normal and the glow vanished from her eyes. Twilight Sparkle was there once more and her lower lip was quivering. “I… I didn’t mean to!”

Rarity walked over and threw her legs around Twilight swallowing her into an embrace. “Of course not, darling. And who could blame you if you’re scared of being intimate. However, I am sure she would be more than patient and understanding so long as you were at least there to kiss her goodnight and hold her in your legs. She is a thousand years old, I’m sure sex is of no concern to her, only love, true love!”

A wail of pain and sorrow escaped Twilight’s lungs as she buried her head into Rarity’s chest. The wail devolved into broken sobs as Twilight’s body shook and shivered in her legs. Rarity stroked Twilight’s back whispering. “There, there. Now that the marriage is set, she won’t have to be lonely anymore. I’m sure you’ll make it up to her. You’ll be the best bride of all of us, I just know it.”

Twilight couldn’t respond, her attempts only broke into more sobs. Rarity looked over at Spike. “Spike, be a dear and send the emergency cancel letter before we have the royal guard plus two armored princesses at the library.”

Spike already had it in his claws. “Already on it.”

Celestia had finally managed to get back to her breakfast, now cold, and was only enjoying her coffee when a letter popped into existence above her head landing on the table. She saw there was a black ribbon around it, one she’d never seen before. Shining Armor stood up, his eyes widened and took the letter himself. The impudence of his action would upset her if the look in his eyes didn’t utterly terrify her.

Shining Armor opened it and read. “PRINCESS HELP!

“Twilight Sparkle has become evil and is the new Nightmare Moon. Code named Midnight Sparkle. She is destroying the town and may have already slain or corrupted a number of us in her wraith.

“Um… if um… you don’t mind… please send help… and come with um… the big guns…

“I’ll probably be alive, Rainbow Dash here by the way, too awesome to be killed but I might be evil now so… uh sorry if I’m already at the castle breaking your stuff… no hard feelings right?

“Princess Celestia, please make sure you are already on the run when you get this far in the letter because I’m sure her first target will be you. Also don’t forget to bring the running away dress I made you for the occasion.

“Also don’t forget to bring apples. Might help with the hard days ahead as Twilight destroys us all.

“Dear Princess Celestia, I am so sorry for the poor quality of this letter. My friends have decided I have to write last as I’m the one causing the issue. Please… put me down quickly. I’m just a unicorn with crazy magic, I’m sure you and Luna could both work together, but I must ask one thing… could you be the one to end me? I would prefer it if it were you. Love, Twilight Sparkle.”

Silence filled the dining room for several long seconds. Shining Armor took a seat. Cadance was looking at her plate. Celestia’s mind was a frozen state of shock. It was true, Cadance was right, Twilight had lost it, become evil and then Shining Armor was right too because she wanted Celestia to be the one too, too, too-

Another letter appeared above her head. This one with a white and black striped ribbon. Shining Armor let out a sigh and slid down in his chair upon seeing it. Cadance fell face first on the table. Celestia lifted this one up and unrolled the scroll. She read this one out loud.

“Dear Princess Celestia.

“We have things under control. Somehow we managed to calm Twilight down and she is no longer evil. Probably destroyed half the town in the process though. So at your nearest convenience can you come by the library, should it still stand, and bring Twilight’s favorite story. I think she will need you to spend several hours reading to her and giving her chocolate and hugs. Thank you.

“Thanks from everypony except for Twilight because she doesn’t know we wrote an emergency cancelled letter.”

Celestia leaned back in her chair. Today had been a roller coaster and the idea of simply reading a story to Twilight for so much time sounded simply wonderful. Even with the new knowledge of her marriage to Twilight being apparently a thing, she still relished in the idea of the simple task. She looked up at Cadance. “Do you still have a copy of The Little Unicorn that Could?”

Cadance thought. “Probably, you did loan it to me while I was foalsitting Twilight so I’m sure I do.”

Celestia smiled. “Good, now to get the finest chocolates we have.”

Chapter Six: When you get the Wrong Order

Rarity was content that even if Twilight was emotionally destroyed, she was at the very least, not going to kill them all or turn them into her evil magically corrupted sex slaves. Or whatever other things an evil Twilight would probably do. Instead Twilight had found solace by surrounding herself in a square box made entirely out of books with only a small slit for her to look through.

Rarity wasn’t sure this was a good sign but it was an improvement. “Darling, do you plan on leaving there anytime soon?”

“NO! I am never leaving my fortress of literature. No force shall break these walls. Any who dare try will find themselves pelted by the unimaginable force of books!”

Rarity reached out toward the so called fortress only to have a book launched at her face at high velocity. Luckily for her it missed her eyes only hitting her in the forehead and knocking her flat on her back. Rarity stared up at the book now covering her face.

Rainbow Dash snickered. “So, is this what they meant by the pen is mightier than the sword?”

Rarity levitated the book off her face and growled in the direction of the book fort. “You are not getting this back.”

Twilight pleaded. “I need that! It’s my cannonball.”

“Just because it has cannonball in the title does not mean you can fling it at your friends with no warning.”

Twilight begged. “I’m sorry… please, I need that.”

Rarity let out a huff and levitated the book back to Twilight. “The next time you throw a book at me, I am more likely to eat it than return it, so do keep that in mind.”

Applejack cleared her throat. “Now that the threat of our world ending and/or apples being banned for an eternity or whatever an evil Twilight would probably do, we should talk about this here marriage.”

Rarity beamed. “Of course, we should make plans. It is our eternal happiness on the line and we will only get one chance for a perfect wedding.”

Pinkie Pie exclaimed. “EXACTLY! So this party has to be perfect!”

Applejack cut in. “Now hold up you two, Ah reckon not all of us are too keen on marrying the princesses. Ah know Ah sure ain’t.”

Rainbow Dash puffed out her chest and replied. “And I’m too awesome to be a princess, so uh… no. I’m going to be a wonderbolt, a hero, and a knight, not one of those things is a princess.”

Fluttershy squeaked out a response that probably meant no. Applejack added for her. “Ah take it she ain’t too keen on it either.”

Rarity looked at them. “Oh dear, this could be a problem. I don’t think we exactly have a choice in the matter, of course you could always attempt running away like Twilight suggested but do keep in mind that Luna can track you through your dreams.”

Fluttershy let out a quiet eep.

Applejack stroked the top of the head of the scared pegasus who was busy hiding her face behind her mane and doing her best impression of a flamingo hiding its head in the dirt. “There, there, Fluttershy. Ain’t nopony gonna force you to do anything.”

Rarity wanted to counteract that with the fact they were dealing with actual princesses that were borderline goddesses. They did not have a choice if the princesses so deemed it. Of course a lady knows something of tact so she chose another method. “I personally would love to marry them. They seem lovely and anypony who gets to marry them becomes a princess. Isn’t it a fairytale come true for any young filly? Well, Rainbow Dash aside.”

Applejack huffed. “Well that’s the issue, we ain’t fillies and not all of us are too interested in the idea of fillyfooling.”

Now Rarity knew that one was a bold faced lie but she’d cross that bridge when she got to it. For now… “Pinkie, please tell us why you’d like to be married to them.”

The pony was nothing if not excited as she jumped up. “It’s going to be the best marriage in all of Equestria, in like, forever! Plus we don’t just get the marriage we get the party! Not to mention the after party.” A devious look crossed her eyes as she licked her lips. “I’ve always thought they were like, totally hot as well. I mean have you seen the plots on those two, they're juicy!”

Rarity rolled her eyes. Of course Pinkie would be interested in-

“Oh and we’ll get access to as much cupcakes as we could ever eat. Imagine that!”

Well… at least that was a less revolting reason to marry the princesses, though perhaps not the most mature. Granted Rarity would not deny the princesses did have some succulent features, but that would not be her reason for marrying. Looking at Fluttershy she smiled and a plan came to mind. She knew exactly how to get all three of them to agree to this, at least for now until they had some time to think about it, with luck they’d be all be married before then.

Rarity walked over and took a seat in front of Fluttershy. She gently laid a hoof over Fluttershy’s. “You haven’t voiced your own opinion, Fluttershy, what are your thoughts?”

A tiny whisper, just barely audible managed to say the word, “Scary.”

Rarity gave a little laugh to help disarm the fear. “Fluttershy, these are the two most powerful, kindest, and gentlest ponies in all of Equestria. I think anypony who would call themselves their wife would be in a position to be the safest pony in all the world if they desired it. Who would dare try to scare you, what monster would even think about getting near you with the protection of both Luna and Celestia, not to mention an army of royal guards to keep you safe.”

Fluttershy’s eye peeked up through her mane. “R-really?”

“Of course. There is nowhere safer than under their wing. Literally in this case.”

Fluttershy blinked few times looked down and to the side as if thinking and then replied. “I-I think your right. B-besides… um… I’d get to be a princess right? M-maybe an alicorn princess?”

Rarity laughed. “How could they not desire to make you into an alicorn princess? I do not know how they would do so, but they managed to make Twilight into one somehow.” That or being vaporized by the Elements of Harmony did the deed, Rarity still wasn’t sure how Twilight become one exactly.

Fluttershy nodded and Rarity could almost feel a small smile underneath all that pink hair. “I… I’ll do it. B-besides, Luna is k-kinda c-cute, in a scary way.”

Rarity smiled and stood. She then looked at Rainbow Dash. “Honestly, I thought you’d be the first one to jump in on this. You are truly the coolest pony in Equestria are you not?”

Rainbow Dash pumped a hoof in the air. “Heck yeah I am.”

“Then can’t you understand why Princess Celestia and Luna would want to marry you! You’re too, how you say, awesome for them not to want you.”

“Well yeah… but I don’t want to be all girly and protected like Shy.”

“Rainbow Dash if you are a princess you can choose to be protected or to be a hero like none other. Think about all the times Celestia, Luna, or even Twilight have done amazing, heroic things. The epic battles, the kingdoms they destroyed or the ones they raised. And who, in their right mind, would even attempt to tell you that you couldn’t be a Princess Knight Wonderbolt!”

Rainbow Dash actually sat down and chewed on that for a moment.

Applejack raised her voice but Rarity cut her off. “The most heroic and famous of all Princesses of all time. The one and only Princess Knight Wonderbolt Rainbow Dash. You don’t want to be girly, say no more, I shall personally assist in the creation of a magical suit of armor and matching sword just for you!”

Rainbow Dash stood up. “You’re totally right! Why am I always so dumb, I didn’t even think about it. Celestia and Luna like, fought Discord, and Sombra and who knows what else. Of course I could be the most awesome princess. Count me in…. I also get to bang the two most untouchable mares in Equestria, who wouldn’t want that?”

Well… that was at least the right train of thought. Rarity next looked at Applejack. “AJ-“

“Nope,” Applejack cut her off. “You might be able to convince the others with yer tricks and manipulation but not me.”

“Money issues.”

Applejack’s mouth stopped and zipped themselves shut. Moments ticked by before she spoke again. “Now… Ah’ll have you know, even if money was ever a concern for the Apple Family, Ah wouldn’t marry just fer money.”

Rarity leaned over and placed a hoof on her shoulder squeezing gently. “Of course not, dear. There is another reason as well. You’ll get to marry me.”

Everypony fell silent for a moment and stared at the two of them. Applejack lowered her hat and spoke quietly. “Now, why would Ah want something like that? Ah don’t mess around with mares…”

“Oh, is that what you weren’t doing at my house late at night, every night, for over a year?”

Applejack growled. “Rares…”

“Listen here, and listen well.” Rarity sat down and pushed Applejack’s chin up so she could stare into those green eyes once more. “If you weren’t a part of this marriage, no matter how much I want to be a princess I would fight for my right to either stop it, or to force them to marry you too. I want to marry you, dear.”

Applejack’s eyes glistened and she bit her lower lip. “Then why didn’t you say so sooner?”

“I was waiting for you, silly. But the time is too late for that now. All we can do is work with the tools we are given. So let me ask you this once more in a way that might change your mind.” Rarity cleared her throat. “Will you marry me, Applejack. Marry me and the princesses?”

Applejack stared at her in silence for a long moment. When she finally spoke her throat sounded dry. “Ah… Ah can’t say no to that. It would hurt you… f-fine. Ah’ll… Ah’ll do this but Ah ain’t gonna like it.”

“Nopony said you had to like it. Once we’re fully married, I promise you I will give you more attention than either of the princesses, on pain of death or whatever they do to naughty fillies, I swear it to you. You’re my first and primary concern.”

Applejack lowered her head onto the floor and closed her eyes. “Ah reckon you’ll have a lot of work to do.”

“Of course. I have dresses to make before the end of the week.”

Rainbow Dash added in. “Can my dress be kinda cool, less girly?”

“Of course it can, I’m going to make sure all of our dresses match us properly. For you Rainbow Dash, I’m thinking an expansion upon your last gala dress. No armor unfortunately but, but, but… I could draw inspiration from the current project I’m working on…”

Applejack’s ears twitched. “Um… Rarity?”

“Y-yes?”

“Haven’t you been working for months on a set of wedding dresses? Two that are alicorn sized and six that are uh… inspired by us?”

Rarity swallowed. “I may have… I may have finished those dresses and sent them off to Canterlot and have received Luna’s approval of them just yesterday as well.”

Applejack looked up from her hat. “Ah think we already got our dresses.”

“I fear you may be onto something,” Rarity said while now realizing just how long this plan must have been in the making. In fact, she had an underlining fear she vowed to never mention in front of Twilight. The fact that she only started having dreams about Luna and Celestia after receiving the initial requests to make these dresses…

Rarity looked back at the fortress. “Twilight, dear… I haven’t asked your thoughts yet. How do you feel about the wedding?”

Twilight replied. “Not going.”

“And disappoint Celestia?”

There was silence. “Can’t she have a private wedding with me alone?”

Rarity smiled. “She could do whatever she wanted but I fear in this case she is following a law she can’t pull herself from. Besides, you’ll hurt Luna’s feelings as well, and if you do that, how will Celestia feel?”

“…bad…”

“Yes, Twilight, she would feel bad. So let me ask you again. Will you please join the wedding with us?”

Twilight was silent for all but a moment before asking, “I’m not sharing Celestia?”

Pinkie Pie replied. “Now that’s just greedy, I want some of that hot sun butt too!”

The cannonball was fired with Twilight making the sound of an explosion with her mouth. The book flew at Pinkie who caught it in her teeth and set it down to read. “Thanks! I was wanting to read this.”

Rarity glared at her. “Now what did I say? You are not getting that back missy!”

Twilight groaned. “But then they’ll be able to lay siege to my castle and take me away for marriage!”

“Twilight, that is just silly.”

“You’re right… I need to escape.” The fort fell down and Twilight sat there with a new set of attire. A pirate hat, sword, and even a small boat floating at her side, all made of various newspapers. Twilight took on an accent and declared. “Yar, I be setting sail for the seven seas and no empire can capture me. I be taking me princess booty with me you filthy scallywags!”

Rarity stared in dumbfound shock. Twilight had completely lost it. At least she wasn’t evil, or actively trying to run away. As she ‘sailed’ the ship around her head making ocean sounds as the boat rocked upon imaginary water, Rarity realized she was probably the only sane one left here. At least Applejack, Rainbow and Spike were getting a laugh out of it.

With a sigh Rarity walked over to Twilight’s desk, pulled a quill and ink pot from it along with a scroll. “Spike, I’m going to need you to send a letter soon.”

Spike nodded but was laughing too hard to reply.

Twilight stared at her for a moment before laughing. “Ye best be careful lass, for the owner of that there island is quite obsessed with their order, but we pirates crave the chaos of the open sea!”

Rarity began writing.

“Dear Princess Celestia

We are all looking forward to our marriages to you and Princess Luna, but I fear I have some ill news for you. Twilight has lost her mind and become a pirate, though I think she is still interested in the marriage, you may have to accept her mind might have been shattered. At least her heart is still here and thinking of you.”

She stopped there. This was going to be a much harder letter to write than she planned…

Chapter Seven: When One Wakes the Princess

Celestia had to force herself to re-read the letter sent to her at least six times before her mind could even begin to grasp what was going on. “Twilight is a pirate…”

Cadance purred. “Exotic, sounds like she’s into the roleplay.”

Celestia looked at her. “Well she did teach me how to roleplay, so yes she is ‘into it’ if you will.”

Cadance smirked. “Oh really, and what did you roleplay?”

Celestia smiled brightly. “I wanted to live the life of a simple peasant earth pony farmer. She was the princess who took me away on a grand scaling adventure.”

The smile Cadance gave her was one of pure evil, for some reason she felt lucky Shining Armor had left to attend to some lesser matters around the castle else she feared he would join in on whatever Cadance’s plans were. “Was the plot any good?”

“Oh of course, Twilight had an excellent plot.” Celestia proclaimed. “Of course there were a few plot holes, but I loved to help her fill those.”

Cadance stifled a laugh. “I’m sure you did.”

Celestia wasn’t exactly sure what was so funny about this, and she had the feeling that she didn’t want to know. They were busy trying to make their way down the halls without waking up Luna. The last time she interrupted Luna’s sleep still sent shivers down Celestia’s spine after all. Still the preparations for a marriage happening in technically less than a week were frightful. At this point she only had one defense against this, one singular plan of attack to stop the wedding at least temporarily while she searched Canterlot for every, single, copy of the law and burned it.

A small maid with pink fur and a white mane walked past them. A brief whisper was heard from her as she passed. “Thirty two.”

Celestia smiled. Thirty two had been found and disposed of so far. That only left… one hundred and sixty seven, if her count were accurate. Given what she knew of Luna, she estimated at least another forty copies of the law to exist. Time, time was all she needed.

Cadance asked another question. “Did you ever have a plot for Twilight to play in?”

Celestia smiled. “Of course, but mine was… not as well structured. Don’t get me wrong, it was big, and it was glorious, but it was soft compared to Twilight’s and the holes just couldn’t be filled no matter how many things we tried.”

At that point Cadance couldn’t contain it and started laughing like a madmare.

Celestia rolled her eyes. “Honestly, I do not see what is so funny with a story having some issues. It turned out that neither ogres nor oubliettes could fix those issues. However, Twilight still had fun with my plot and I suppose that is all that mattered. Oh, and she was a wizard.”

Cadance was still howling with laughter as they passed by door. A burst of cold energy shot out from under the door and tendrils of shadow whipped out wrapping around both of them. Celestia looked up to see the mark of a crescent moon above the door and her heart stilled. The door itself was padded deep indigo with violet buttons and trimmed with black lace around the edges. Why she couldn’t just have a normal royal door was beyond her but Celestia had long since stopped trying to understand her sister’s sense of taste.

What she hadn’t done was let the tendrils holding her hostage have their way with her.

The door burst open and a dark silhouette stood inside. A pair of moonlit eyes glared at her. Celestia swallowed. “I’m sorry, dear sister.”

Luna’s voice came out like a crackle of lightning. “Doth thou think I care? My slumber is precious and once more thou hath interfered with it. No more I say, thou shalt receive full punishment for these crimes.”

A lone tendril lifted up, it coiled and snaked in the air. Glistening wet around its surface. The way it wiggled was almost suggestive. At the tip it held aloft a single feather taken from a highly prestigious pillow.

Celestia’s horn lit up. “You wouldn’t! Not when we’re talking about our future wives.”

The feather inched closer to Celestia’s barrel. Luna’s voice hissed. “I care not for the topic at hoof, only for the interruption of mine sleep!”

Just as the feather was about to make contact with Celestia’s soft, unprotected belly, Cadance cried out. Luna looked over to her as well as Celestia. Cadance for her part was looking at them, upside down and with a face so red that it almost looked like a pimple attached to a mare’s body. Her legs had been spread open by the tendrils and one of those tendrils was inching ever so closely to a very special place.

Luna gulped. “Niece!” the tendrils vanished and Cadance dropped unceremoniously to the floor with a thud. Luna trotted out. “My apologies, Niece. I fear that perhaps I lost control a little there.”

Cadance looked up at her. “I might be the princess of love, but even I draw the line somewhere.”

Luna let out a sigh. “At least I did not accidently do more. Sleep deprived Luna, is not safe at work Luna. There are only two things that would set me into a spiral of dark magic the likes of which nopony has seen before. Interrupting my sleep, and blocking my marriage. Luckily thou art here to help with that. So please, stand, in fact I believe it is time to send for our lovely brides. Before the press ponies catch wind of who they are.”

Celestia stared at her. “Luna, we need to talk in private.”

Luna smiled. “Could it wait for after we secret our new princesses here?”

“I fear not. I still have concerns and I wish for some…help in calming those. As our fellow, co-wife. You are the only pony I can turn to for help.”

Luna’s smile faded a moment her eyes looked to the side as if she was thinking about it. The smile returned as quickly as it left. “Of course, you are still scared. I assume our niece has taught you well?”

“Yes… even if it was unwanted, I fear I learned more than I bargained for.”

Luna’s magic wrapped around Celestia’s neck and dragged her inside shutting the door behind them and leaving Cadance outside. “Tell me, whatever is the matter? Do you need to practice first, I can help with that.”

Celestia chose very wisely to ignore what kind of practice Luna was talking about and sat down. She had to try and make this work, to make Luna see some reason. This was her only chance especially if she was going to drag them here today. “Luna, what if some of them are straight?”

“This is the term used to describe stallions who prefer mares and mares who prefer stallions correct? The once average pony desire… back when there were enough stallions to share.”

Celestia nodded. “Although odd now in days, due to the lack of stallions, there are still those who do not enjoy the romancing of the same sex.”

Luna’s horn lit up and her body began to change. “Oh, I do have this one covered my dear sister.”

It was almost like a horror picture the way Luna’s muscles grew thicker, her muzzle more broad, her chest strong and masculine. Even her rear end had become a taught, muscular machine. Between Luna’s legs now rested a very large… Celestia couldn’t look away.

Luna laughed in a deep, sensual voice that sent shivers running to the wrong parts of Celestia’s body. The thick, rumble of his voice made Celestia’s everything go red. “I may only be able to hold this form for a few hours, but it should be more than enough to please any and maybe even all of our wives.”

Celestia, lost for words could only say, “What if they don’t um… like you?”

Luna’s smile never wavered. “Oh, do not worry my dear sister. I have been coaching them in their sleep. Each one of them have had pleasant responses to both you and I. Of course I have not used this form with them and I feel it would be a most appropriate surprise… what are you staring at?”

Celestia couldn’t look away, she had never seen anything so wrong, yet so right as a strong, masculine, sexy as all get out alicorn stallion. Instinctively her body was edging closer, her tail lifting. It was only once Luna’s masculine hoof gently touched Celestia’s face lifting it up to look at her that Celestia began to remember this was actually her sister standing before her.

Luna’s form shrunk and returned to the smaller feminine form it once had. “Sister, does this… interest you? I could use a practice partner if it does.”

Celestia stood up. Noticed that the floor where she had sat down now had been singed in the perfect shape of her buttocks. She forced her tail down with magic and stomped off to the door. “You are never to use that spell in my presence again. Also please retrieve our brides posthaste, I feel this wedding cannot happen soon enough.”

Luna squealed with joy. “Of course! I shall see to it as we secret away our brides. Nopony shall be made the wiser.”

Celestia left the room, shut the door behind her and slid down to the floor with her back against the wall. Cadance’s face was still red. “So… you discovered the spell I should never have taught her.”

Celestia glared at her. “Why? Why would you do that?”

“Well to quote you, what if some of them were straight?”

Celestia closed her eyes. “I’m going back to my room.”

“Oh, need some privacy after that do you?”

“No,” Celestia cried. “I am going to prepare for Twilight’s arrival. Nothing else.” At least… probably nothing else. No laying on her bed imagining that rugged, handsome god Luna had transformed into pushing her down, getting on top of her and-

Celestia stood. “Actually, you are coming with me and demonstrating once more what techniques I need to use on Twilight after we are married.”

“I could teach you that spell if you wish?”

Celestia glared at her. “I do not think Twilight would appreciate that.”

“Twilight isn’t your only bride.” Cadance said with a wink.

Celestia had already began walking away. “I will inform you if I wish to know. For now, show me myself and Twilight.” So that she may purge her mind of the thought of herself and Luna.

Luna had mentioned she was going to secret away her brides, and she had meant it. This was in her mind a task that was going to take awhile as even though she knew where they all lived she did not in fact know where they all were at the moment. Perhaps Celestia had expected her to have some guards go out and fetch them. There were three in mind, three adoring and loyal bat ponies she could use, but as with most things, she was a princess of Equestria and ruler of the night. If she was going to marry these fine mares, she was bringing them home herself.

When Luna first teleported inside the Golden Oaks library she was surprised to see more than just Twilight there. In fact all six of her lovely maidens were there. Well… maiden might not be accurate for half of them, well for more than Twilight and Rainbow Dash anyway, but they were lovely none the less and she couldn’t judge, it wasn’t like she was a maiden herself.

With all eyes revealing their surprise and awe for her she basked in their gazes for a moment. The first one to speak was Rarity. “Princess Luna! What brings you here so soon?”

Luna walked up to her and stretched out a wing gently stroking Rarity’s cheek. The mare’s cheeks went pink with an adorable blush as she looked down and slightly away. “Don’t look away my love. I am your princess, your bride, you may look as long as you desire.”

Rarity’s vision looked back up to her, eyes glistening. “Thank you.”

It was Twilight who came up to her next. First she felt a heavy weight drop upon her back, and then lavender hooves wrap around her neck. A newspaper folded into the shape of a saber lashed out at Rarity thwacking her on top of the head Twilight’s voice cried out, “Back ye demon, this be my treasure ye be eying up!”

Rarity took several safe steps back away from the threatening thwack of the sword. Luna looked up to see Twilight Sparkle wearing a pirate hat and floating a paper ship next to her head. “Twilight, my love. I knew you were possessive, but I did not know you were so playful as well. Please, don’t be upset that they wish to share some of the treasure too. As captain of this here crew, should you not at least part with some small amount of it for them?”

Twilight frowned and then let out a sigh. “If me treasure be asking it, then I shall relent. Scallywags, here me and here me now, I may share this piece of booty, but the other is mine and mine alone. Any who dare try to take that one from me be losing an eye and walking the plank.”

Pinkie Pie giggled. “Yes sir, Captain Twilight!”

Luna smiled as well. “I knew you all were the best choice. I love all of you.” She looked to Spike who was sitting on the staircase. “I will be back for you, but could you let their families know that I have taken them away for their weddings. Thank you, Spike the Heroic Dragon and First mate to Captain Twilight.”

Her horn lit up and the entire room flashed blue leaving the bewildered dragon there all alone.
