Charging pegasi tore the door off it’s hinges in their haste to apprehend their target. Fluttershy was found trembling under her bed, eyes wide with fear.

Heavy metal chains clasped tightly around her legs and neck as she was hauled out to the military base. Fluttershy trembled in fear as the base loomed from the distance. Backpedaling away from the building a sharp prod in her flank propelled her forward with a startled eep.

Many pegasi civilians halted their daily activities to sneer and glare hatefully at Fluttershy. A young foal chucked a rock at her and nailed her in the snout. Blood dripped steadily from her nose as Fluttershy attempted to shrink into herself, tears streaming down her face.

Several pegasi cheered at the violent action. Many began gathering their own projectiles and started launching them at Fluttershy as she passed. By the time they reached the base entrance, Fluttershy had several new dents in her armor as well as many cuts and scrapes on the few places that weren’t covered.

Fluttershy’s eyes shrunk to pinpricks. Trembling violently, she whimpered in absolute terror. Standing in the center of the base was Commander Hurricane. A malevolent gleam shone in her eyes and a twisted sneer graced her lips.

"Hello TRAITOR!" Hurricane snarled viciously at the trembling yellow mare. "I'm sure you know why you're here... covering for another pegasi that's betraying her own tribe is one of the worst things a pegasus can do."

Hurricane sauntered up to Fluttershy, a look of pure disgust on her face. "You're a disgrace to all pegasi!"

Hurricane spat in Fluttershy's trembling face. A cruel smile forming as she observed her pitiful state, saliva slowly dripping down her face.

"How long has this travesty been going on Fluttershy?" Fluttershy shuttered under Hurricane's sharp words.

".....l-longer t-than a m-m-month..." Fluttershy managed to choke out that meager response. Dread filling her veins like ice.

Hurricane eyed her angrily at hearing this, “How long have you been helping her?”

“I... I d-don’t know... I don’t...” Hurricane leaned in close, causing Fluttershy to shut her eyes tightly out of fear.

“You’d better be sure you’re aren’t lying to me. If I find out that you have been helping this traitor the entire time, your punishment for such an insult to the pegasi way of life will be much more severe.” She stepped away from the shuttering pegasus and turned to the pegasi guards beside her, “Private Pansy, I believe our little traitor friend will be wanting a warm welcome... back to our base. Make sure we do not disappoint her.”

Pansy saluted the Commander with a shaky hoof, “Y-Yes, Commander Hurricane.”
***

“Ugh! That’s it! You’re done for! I’m gonna finish you off for good and you won’t be able to annoy me anymore!” Dash raised a hoof into the air angrily, “This is what you get for disobeying the-!”

“Dashie!” A stern voice called from the other side of the room.

“Uh...” Dash froze in her anger and slowly turned around to face the pink mare trotting up next to her, “Yes... Pinkie?”

Pinkie clucked her tongue at Rainbow, “Dashie, what did I tell you about making cupcakes?”

The pegasus pony shrugged nervously and looked down at the tray of poorly poured cupcake batter, “Cupcakes are made with love... not anger.”

Pinkie smiled triumphantly at the embarrassed mare, “That’s right.” She threw her hooves around the pegasus and kissed her cheek before bouncing towards the oven, “Now come on Dashie. We gotta get those cupcakes in the oven or else we’ll be eating slimy gooey batter for lunch instead.”

Dash chuckled lightly at the earth pony’s statement and took hold of the tray, “Right behind ya Pinks.” She trotted over to the oven and placed them on top so she could open the door.

This gave Pinkie enough time to inspect the yet to be baked treats before they went in. She smiled pleasantly when the cyan mare looked towards her expectantly, “Great Dashie, these look super tasty... even better than the last batch.”

Dash sighed and smirked at Pinkie, “And how many does that make this one?”

Adopting a look of concentration, the pink pony placed a hoof under her chin as Rainbow shoved the tray into the oven. “Oh about 42... but I’m sure this will be a perfect batch of cupcakes. You got super close with the last one.”

She smiled and nuzzled the pink mare lightly, “Thanks Pinkie. You’re a great teacher... I’m just not much of a student.”

Pinkie shook her head rapidly, her pink mane following swiftly after, “Don’t be silly Dashie, you’re a great student too... The only one I’ve had yet.” She replied with a thoughtful expression.

“Really? I’m the only pony you’ve taught to bake?” Dash’s ears perked and she raised a surprised eyebrow.

“Yep. Nopony ever wanted me to show them how to bake.” Pinkie’s ears fell flat and she lowered her head slightly, “I was the only pony in town to bake instead of plant seeds in the fields. I didn’t even show my parents... they’d... probably say it was unnecessary or silly anyway. I didn’t wanna make them upset with me.”

“Well that’s over now Pinks. It’s their loss they didn’t let you teach them how to bake.” Dash placed a comforting hoof on Pinkie’s shoulder and flashed the saddened mare a winning smile, “Now come on Pinkie, we’ve gotta get started on the next batch right?”

Pinkie’s ears perked as she raised her head and smiled back at the cyan mare, “Okay Dashie... just... make sure you go easy on the cupcake batter this time.”

Dash chuckled and kissed Pinkie on the lips, “Maybe I’d better let you do that bit Pinks.”

The bell for the cupcakes rang minutes later and the two ponies rushed in to check if they had cooked long enough. Dash was surprised at how good a teacher Pinkie was, encouraging her and giving easy to understand directions when she was feeling frustrated or confused.

She would even gobble down those few cupcakes she managed to burn and give them her approval. That would always make Rainbow smile, how much Pinkie went through to make her happy. The cyan pegasus was quite shocked that she hadn’t burnt more, but she would never admit that to Pinkie.

As Pinkie removed the cupcakes from the oven, Dash looked over her shoulder nervously, “Well Pinkie? Are they any good?”

All she could hear as a reply were rapid chewing noises and hums of joy from the pink mare. “Great job Dashie! They are even better now then last time!” Pinkie punctuated her point by eating two in one bite.

Chuckling, Dash snatched the pan away, “Leave some for me won’t you Pinks?”

“Aw... But they were sooooo good Dashie!” Pinkie leaped onto Dash’s back and reached over her head for another cupcake. Dash held them just out of reach, a devious smirk growing on her face.

Rearing onto her hind legs, she heard Pinkie yelp in surprise and lock her forelegs tightly around her neck. In that short moment, Dash took off like a shot and zoomed around Pinkie’s house while preforming various spins and loops.

Pinkie began squealing in delight. She locked her hind-legs completely around Dash so there would be less drag.

Dash landed gracefully in the center of the living room, a smug look on her face. Pinkie slid off Dash carefully before assaulting her with a bone crushing hug. “THAT WAS THE MOST FUNNERIFIC TIME EVER DASHIE! Is that what you pegasi get to do EVERY DAY?!”

Pinkie seemed to vibrate in excitement as she tightened her grip on Rainbow Dash. “P-Pinkie! Can’t....BREATHE!” Dash managed to gasp out while attempting to claw her way out of the aggressive embrace.

“Oops! Sorry Dashie, I forgot how strong my hugs are.” She released the pegasus from her grasp and sat down on her rump to let Dash catch her breath properly.

Rainbow gasped for breath and managed to sigh. She turned and faced the pink mare, smiling weakly, “Yeah.... So did I...” She rubbed her neck softly and looked back up to see Pinkie smiling back at her.

“So Dashie... What do you wanna do now?” She tilted her head to the side quizzically and waited for the pegasus’ answer.

Dash put a hoof to her chin in thought. She hadn’t really thought of anything she could do with her. She did like flying with me around the room... “I’ve got it.” She trotted over to the front door and looked back at the confused mare.

Pinkie smiled brightly and hopped over to the cyan mare, “Climb on Pinkie.” She kneeled down for the pink pony to jump on.

“Huh?” She replied, tilting her head to the side quizzically.

The pegasus turned to face Pinkie and dragged a hoof along the ground, “Well... I was just thinking... since I was your first student with baking, you could be my first student with flying... I’ve never had the chance to really teach anypony what it’s like to fly and... seeing as how you’re an earth pony I just assumed- Ooph!”

Pinkie jumped up and landed on Dash’s back. She leaned over to look at the cyan mare, “Silly Dashie, of course I’m an earth pony... and I’d love to be your first flight student... hmm, even though I’m never really gonna fly... but what if we’re caught?”

“Oh, we won’t. No pony patrols come through here at this time.” Dash stated confidently as she prepared herself for takeoff.

In an instant, Dash and Pinkie were soaring high in the air. Fearless, Pinkie sat up on Dash’s back with one hoof in the air. “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” She gripped Dash around the middle tightly with her hind legs before lifting both forelegs in the air in excitement.

Whipping her head back to face the pink mare in alarm, Dash began scolding Pinkie, “What the Hay are you doing?! You are going to fall off doing tha-” WAM!

Dash flew straight into a tree and dropped heavily onto a thick branch directly beneath her. “Oh my gosh, DASHIE! Are you ok?” Worry thick in Pinkie’s voice as she looked down at the groaning form beneath her.

“I-I’m fine Pinks.” Dash gingerly lifted herself up and slowly glided down to Pinkie’s home with Pinkie still perched on her back.

The second they touched the ground Pinkie leaped off Dash and immediately began inspecting her for injuries. Poking and prodding anything that looked damaged.

“Pinkie I’m FINE!” Dash pushed Pinkie away after wincing when one of the more tender spots got poked.

“No you’re not! Lemmie help you!” Pinkie rushed toward Dash. Dash quickly back-pedeled and dodged the advancing pony.

Pinkie spent the next several minutes chasing down the proud pegasus. Eventually tackling her into the ground which didn’t do Rainbow Dash any favors.

“OW! Pinkie Pie!” Dash growled out in muffled annoyance, she was currently face-planted into the cold stone floor.

“I’m sorry Dashie but you just wouldn’t stay still!” Pinkie responded simply.

“Ow... Pinkie! Get off me!!” She screamed from under the pink mare trying to push her off, but Pinkie held firm on top of the rainbow-maned pegasus.

“Sorry Dashie, but you asked for this.” She replied, carefully prodding her bruised areas with a gentle hoof.

Rainbow Dash growled in minor pain, attempting to once again break free. You've grown soft, Dash, she thought to herself, shame filling her mind. You've grown so soft around her....

Pinkie nodded to herself, and quickly jumped up to grab something from her bathroom. She came back, surprised that Dash hadn't moved.

"Uh..... What's in your mouth?" Dash questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Comfy leaves, parsley, and cabbage!" Pinkie smiled cheerfully. "They're really great for bruises if chewed up and placed on the bruised areas!"

Dash felt her mind go blank. "..... Wait yeah 'Shy's always saying something about that...."

"I can chew it all up Dashie, just stay still okay?" Pinkie asked.

"It’s.... not like I have much of a choice there Pinks." Dash muttered quietly.

Pinkie grinned, grabbing a few leaves of each plant and popping them in her mouth. "It'll heal right up!" She smiled, chewing each plant carefully without swallowing any of the juices. "It'll take an hour or so, though...."

She carefully spat the mixture onto her hoof. "And it looks yucky."

"No kidding..." A deadpanned expression settled heavily on Dash’s face.

"It works!" Pinkie reassured, gently rubbing the mixture into Dash's bruises. Dash felt herself unwilling relax as Pinkie massaged the medicine into the bruises, allowing her wings to stretch out with pleasure.

"Wow Pinks...." She quietly hummed, closing her eyes as a smile graced her face.

"Does it feel better, Dashie?" Pinkie asked with a small smile on her face.

"Loads." Dash sighed out the word, lost in the gentle massage she was currently in. Her tense muscles slowly un-knotting at the pink mare’s caress.

Smiling affectionately down at the relaxed pegasus, Pinkie found her attention being drawn to the two powerful wings standing erect. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Pinkie pressed her tongue against the base of the wing and slowly licked upward. A sharp gasp quickly turned into a deep throaty moan from the cyan mare.

Excitement welled up within Pinkie at the positive response. Feeling encouraged, she began nipping at Dash’s wing while stroking it carefully with her tongue. Dash trembled in pleasure, cooing softly.

Moving to the other wing, Pinkie carefully positioned it with gentle hooves before repeating the treatment the other wing received.

“P-Pinkie...” Dash gasped out her name, her mind clouded in bliss. Pinkie felt herself blush from Dash’s heated statement.

Smiling softly, Pinkie nuzzled the cyan wings affectionately, “I love your wings, Dashie...they’re so strong...” Pinkie wrapped her hooves around the out-stretched wings and massaged them sensually.

Dash melted into a puddle of pure ecstasy. Her mouth hung open as she panted heavily. Her wings twitched under the loving caress they were receiving. She could vaguely feel a wetness slowly soak her fur where Pinkie was sitting.

Pinkie leaned down and gently peppered kisses around the base of the wings. Small shock-waves of pleasure shot through Dash, nearly pushing her over the edge. Grinning deviously, Pinkie roughly yanked on Dash’s wings.

Dash went rigid in pure ecstasy, moaning loudly as she came. She pawed at the floor looking for leverage as she rode out her blissful orgasm.

Giggling softly, Pinkie brushed her lips against Dash’s cheek. Her forelegs wrapped carefully around Dash’s neck. “I love you, Dashie!” Pinkie buried her snout in Dash’s rainbow mane.

Chuckling softly at the pink pony’s antics, Dash shifted onto her back so she was laying face to face with the pink mare. Before Pinkie could react, Dash darted forward and locked Pinkie in a deep, passionate kiss.

Pinkie moaned into the kiss, shifting so she could get even closer to the cyan mare. Pinkie locked her legs around Dash in surprise as Dash suddenly rolled so she was pinning her to the floor. Dash quickly turned the kiss aggressive, pushing her mouth heavily against Pinkie’s. Her hooves began rubbing and stroking at Pinkie’s body roughly. Pinkie trembled in anticipation as her touch slowly drifted lower and lower.

Pulling away from the kiss slowly, Dash moved to Pinkie’s ear and began nibbling on it making Pinkie coo softly. Dash’s hoof glided slowly above and around Pinkie’s aching need. She would briefly brush her hoof against her swollen vagina forcing pinkie to arch desperately.

“P-please...D-Dashie...” Pinkie pleaded with a faint whine in her voice. Grinning, Dash pressed her hoof against her swollen clitoris. Pinkie cried out loudly, her fore-hooves digging into Dash’s back.

Flashing Pinkie a winning smile, Dash slid down between Pinkie’s lower legs and flicked her clit with her tongue. Her fore-hoof prodded Pinkie’s entrance making the pink mare lock her hind-legs around Dash and grip Dash’s mane desperately with her fore-hooves.

In one swift motion, Dash locked her lips around Pinkie’s clit, sucking heavily and plunged her hoof inside Pinkie. A half moan, half scream ripped its way from Pinkie’s mouth. She nearly arched completely off the floor and yanked painfully on Dash’s colorful mane.

Dash pumped her fore-leg in and out of Pinkie in a steady rhythm. Her tongue swirled around Pinkie’s clit, pressing it roughly against the swollen appendage. Pinkie’s hind-legs twitched, her groans and moans were streaming from her mouth. She gripped Dash’s head as if she was afraid Dash would suddenly stop.

Dash grazed her teeth against Pinkie’s clit and plunged her hoof in as deep as she could. The vaginal walls clamped down on her foreleg as Pinkie violently came. Pinkie’s hind-legs locked tightly around Dash’s head forcing her face into Pinkie’s crotch.

“DASHIE!” Pinkie screamed out passionately, delirious in euphoria. Once Dash was able to lift herself out of Pinkie’s groin area, a pair of pink forelegs gripped her tightly and pulled her into a heated kiss.

Dash’s eyes shot open in surprise at the sudden embrace before relaxing and returning the kiss. She found herself on her back again with a brightly smiling mare looking down at her.

“There’s something I wanna try Dashie!” With a flirty wink, Pinkie swiftly spun around so her newly wet vagina faced Dash. Laying directly on top of Dash, Pinkie began vigorously licking at Dash’s clit forcing Dash to groan in pleasure.

Gritting her teeth, Dash wrapped her forelegs around Pinkie’s round flank and began sucking on Pinkie’s clit.

Moaning into Dash’s vagina, Pinkie gripped Dash’s cutie marks tightly and began licking desperately. Gasping out from the shock of pleasure, Dash felt her competitive spirit rise up. She began massaging Pinkie’s cutie marks tenderly and grazed her teeth over the clit while sucking hard.

They spent the last few minutes attempting to one-up the other before they both orgasmed. Pinkie twitched violently on top of Dash while Dash gripped Pinkie tightly against herself. Pinkie’s juices spilled down onto Dash’s face as she attempted to lick it up.

Dropping her forelegs in exhaustion, Dash barely registered Pinkie shifting so she was snuggled under Dash’s chin, her forelegs wrapped tightly around Dash’s chest.

“Hey Pinkie...” Dash muttered softly, a small smile on her face.

“Hmm?” Pinkie quietly responded, She was slowly drifting in and out of sleep.

“I love you too.” Dash’s smile became a full grin.

Shifting, Pinkie lifted herself long enough to plant a soft kiss on Dash’s cheek. Giggling softly, she snuggled back into Dash’s chest with a blissful smile on her face.
*****

Fluttershy was chained to the cell wall with heavy metal chains. Several angry red welts seemed to glow on her body. Hurricane stood in front of the tormented filly, her eyes blazing with cold hatred.

“I always knew something was wrong with you, Fluttershy. Always wanting to spend time with useless dirt creatures...I blame you for corrupting Rainbow Dash.” With a growl, Hurricane snapped the flogging stick down sharply on the trembling mare. A sharp pained cry escaped Fluttershy’s lips at the contact.

“I had the troops search your house,” Hurricane glanced at Fluttershy, a cruel glint in her eye, “They found this useless dirt creature hiding in your room.” Fluttershy snapped to attention. Hurricane lifted a small, white, and very annoyed rabbit into view.

With a malicious grin, Hurricane snapped the rabbit’s foreleg. Fluttershy shot up onto shaky limbs, tears springing into her eyes, “NO! PLEASE! Don’t hurt Angel anymore!”

“Why not? It’s just a useless dirt creature, nothing special...” Hurricane gave the agonizing rabbit a dismissive look.

“B-because...Rainbow Dash gave him to me...and...he means so much to me...” Fluttershy pleaded desperately to Hurricane, tears flowing freely down her face.

Clenching her teeth in suppressed rage, Hurricane threw the injured rabbit at Fluttershy. Fluttershy was barely able to catch him when a grey hoof slammed into her eye; cracking her skull against the prison wall. Fluttershy fought to remain conscious as she held the Rabbit protectively away from Hurricane.

“You’re pathetic.” Hurricane gave Fluttershy a disgusted look before turning to leave. “PRIVATE PANSY! Clean up this trash.” Hurricane gestured toward the semi-conscious pegasus.

Nodding quickly, Pansy shank away from Hurricane as she stormed out of the cell. Rushing forward, she began carefully tending to the injured pegasus.

“P-Pansy..?” Fluttershy muttered out quietly.

“Shh...Rest please...You have been through a lot today.” Pity filled Pansy’s eyes as she gently washed one of the glowing red welts marring the yellow pony’s coat.

“I-I need to use....the first-aid...” Fluttershy gasped out in minor pain as she reached for the kit.

Nodding solemnly, Pansy pushed the first-aid kit closer to Fluttershy. She immediately went to work setting and splinting the poor Rabbit’s shattered limb, a sad smile on her face. At least he was safe...

Finishing up, Pansy began gathering up the medical wraps and tools. She paused long enough to gently wipe away the tears streaming down Fluttershy’s face, startling her.

“I’m sorry Hurricane did this to you Fluttershy...”

Fluttershy leaned into the friendly touch, craving comfort. After a few minutes, she looked up at the kind mare with worried eyes. “W-what’s going to happen when Rainbow returns?”

Pansy recoiled as if the question had burned her. Hurricane had relayed her plan in excruciating detail. Looking into the concerned mare’s un-blackened eye, she swallowed down her fear and retold the plan.

There was an audible gasp of horror reverberating throughout the prison.
*****

Dash had awoken to a gentle hoof tracing her various scars. Turning her head slightly she noticed a forlorn expression on Pinkie's face. Sighing good naturedly, Dash sat up slowly and plased a comforting kiss on Pinkie's forehead.

A small smile slid onto the pink mare’s face. She wrapped her forelegs tightly around the cyan mare’s middle and buried her face into her chest. Holding the distraught mare against her, Dash buried her muzzle into her poofy magenta mane.

"Do you really want to know what happened Pinkie?" Dash softly muttered into the puffy mane, her words becoming slightly muffled.

Pinkie nodded vigorously against Dash's chest, her grip tightening marginally. A soft smile graced Dash's lips before a solemn expression settled on her face. Carefully disentangling herself from Pinkie, she softly began retelling her memory.

"Well, like I said I was in the orphanage when I received these scars..."

Rainbow Dash frowned, recalling the memories. "I lost my parents before I could even speak..." She began, choosing not to look at the pink mare beside her. "I was in the orphanage longer than I could remember. I was a lot smaller then a lot of the other fillies and colts there...."

Rainbow paused, a heavy feeling settling in her chest. "I didn't belong anywhere. I would watch as everypony would be adopted or taken to schools. Eventually, some bullies came to visit the orphanage each day..."

Rainbow Dash shook her head. "For some reason they automatically honed in on me. And began picking on me, punching me...." She jerked her head backwards, frowning. "They got it in their heads one day it'd be a fun game to burn me with lit sticks."

She sighed. "It was the worse pain I had ever been in. I never wanted to go through it again.... So I started fighting with myself, shadow boxing every night.... A few weeks into the placement school some of the jerks that burned me picked a fight with me. The principal saw how eager I was to fight and set me packing to military school....."

Rainbow looked down at her hooves and closed her eyes for a moment. She had never opened up to anypony about her past, but she suddenly felt like she could say anything to Pinkie; tell her anything she was worried about and the pink mare would understand whatever she told her.

Gazing back up to meet Pinkie’s eyes, Dash spoke, “So that’s how it happened. I never wanted to talk about it again... I didn’t want to remember it, but- Ooph!”

Pinkie wrapped her hooves tightly around the seated pegasus and buried her snout into her chest, sobbing, “Dashie... I didn’t know... h-how m-mean your past was... I... I’m s-so sorry I asked you to remember such a horrible place...” Her hooves gripped tighter around Rainbow’s middle and she sobbed into her marefriend’s coat.

“It’s okay, I...” She stopped herself for a second and then wrapped her hooves around the pink mare before she continued, “... I needed this Pinkie. I needed to be able to tell you this stuff... I can’t hide these feelings from myself anymore... and I can’t hide them from you...”

“Dashie...” Pinkie raised her head to look at the cyan pegasus contently; she hadn’t been allowed to see this side of Dash before. It was a vulnerable side, filled with fears she had never told anypony about, yet it was also a strong and enduring one, with hope and a desire to protect all that she cared for. It was an expression of bottled up emotions that caused Pinkie’s heart to flutter and spread a warmth throughout her body.

She leaned forward and locked her lips with Dash’s longingly before resting her pink head on her shoulders, nuzzling her neck affectionately, “You can tell me anything....”

Rainbow pulled the pink mare tightly against her body, letting her tears fall freely down onto Pinkie’s mane. She didn’t have to hide these feelings from her; she knew what it felt like to have a troubled past. They both had broken memories of their pasts, but somehow they both survived and were able to meet each other.

Dash still had trouble expressing her fears and doubts, but something about Pinkie made it okay to let them flow through her. She would never give that up.
*****

Hurricane sat in her office, meticulously sharpening and polishing her favorite blades. They gleamed dangerously in the light, hinting at the destruction they could cause.

“It’s been a while since I used you...” Hurricane softly spoke, looking down at the reflective surface of the blades. “We are going to spill some blood soon...I’m sure you are excited for this opportunity. Whipping out useless trash is always a great way to start the day.”

A dangerous glint flashed in Hurricane’s eyes as she carefully pulled the blades onto her forelegs. Turning toward a deceased enemy skull, she narrowed her eyes. In one swift movement she sliced through the skull effortlessly. It was like a hot knife in butter.

A large, deadly grin formed on her face, “Perfect.”
