Chapter 7: I Want, I Need, I Lust

Today was definitely a busy day; that much was clear. Preparations for the holding of the festival had begun at sunrise and would continue until the start of the event itself. Naturally, Pinkie was up before the crack of dawn to supervise and coordinate said preparations. This ceremony was meant to commemorate, as it sounds, of the official foundation of Ponyville, which had become an increasingly important town over the years. However, little of it was actually spent remembering Ponyville and its history and more so of partying and having a great time, to be completely honest. As of the opening performing acts, the two girls were practicing their routines one last time. Twilight herself insisted on practicing other songs rather than her own in an attempt to make it more memorable. As of the current moment, the festival start time was about two hours away and the Element of Magic and Kindness were making their last preparations.

Twilight spun to her last pose of the song right as it ended, with Luna nodding furiously at her performance.

“That was EXCELLENT Twilight!” Luna reassured her. Twilight did a small curtsy in response before she put down her brush that she was using as a makeshift microphone.

“So… you feel ready for tonight?” Luna asked with a smirk.

“You know… I think so. I really do. Tonight is going to be so much fun!” Twilight said pensively and reassuringly. Luna only responded with her iconic, determined smirk.

“I only hope Fluttershy is ready…”

Fluttershy struck her last pose while still hiding one of her eyes behind her hair. She then turned to face Dash completely.

“So… how was that?” she asked. Rainbow didn’t respond, but her jaw was nearly on the floor.

“Was… was it that bad?” Fluttershy asked, a bit worried.

“Wa—Was that… BAD? That. Was. AMAZING!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, flailing her arms to accentuate her point. Fluttershy couldn’t help but blush a bit.

“Thanks, Dashie… hopefully I won’t disappoint everyone tonight.”

“Trust me, I believe… no… I KNOW you’re going to do the exact opposite.”

Fluttershy mustered a semi-confident smile and giggle.

Luna departed Twilight’s place to allow the purple haired girl to get dressed appropriately for the ordeal. With two hours to kill, she thought she’d pay a visit to Seafire.

“Hey Seafire? It’s Luna,” she asked him through mindchat

“Hey Lulu! Good thing you told me who you were because I wouldn’t have guessed out of all the others who set up a mental connection with me,” Seafire replied sarcastically. Luna rolled her eyes and laughed.

“You’re goddamn hilarious, you know that? I have two hours with nothing to do. Want to... what do they say... 'hang out' until then?”

“Of course! I’m exercising right now at home, so just let yourself in when you get here,” he informed.

“Okay! See you then!” Luna exclaimed excitedly.

The trek to his house was a rather short one, and like she was told, she let herself in. Luna casually walked through his house until she spied him in the common room performing pull-ups. She leaned on the wall casually as if waiting for him to finish… and she kept her nonchalant demeanor. That was until she paid closer attention to him… and the way his back muscles contracted as he pulled upward. Luna subconsciously bit her lower lip again. As he finished the set, he landed on his feet and turned to meet his girlfriend.

“Hey, love! How are you?” He said jovially as he walked to embrace her. He, however, stopped in his tracks when he locked eyes with her.

“I’ve… seen that look before. What are you up to?” He asked with a smirk. Luna responded by embracing him in what could only be described as a very passionate kiss. This was nothing new to the couple, of course, but something else was detectable that one wouldn’t be able to put their finger on.

“…wow…” Seafire said as they broke the kiss, almost entranced by it. Luna giggled.

“I aim to please…” she said with a half lidded glare while casually drawing circles on his chest with her index finger.

“He-he I… see that,” he responded ever so slightly apprehensively due to her forwardness, yet still holding her close. Luna sighed.

“Listen… I’m sorry if I’ve been rather… forward with you, to say the least. It’s just that…” Luna looked away in an attempt to find the words.

“… you try being trapped on the moon for a thousand years, your aging temporarily ceasing in the prime of your growth and development and see the quantity of bottled up hormones you don’t have,” Luna stated somewhat sarcastically. Seafire understood completely.

“I can only imagine. But I do apologize if I… recede a bit sometimes. It’s not that it think you’re not attractive! Please don’t get me wrong… I’m sure I’ve proven many times otherwise that I find you absolutely stunning. It’s just I never expected you to be so forward with me. You, whom everyone knows as the now sociable yet stern Princess of the Night… being so… open with me. It catches you off guard sometimes,” he explained. Luna nodded in understanding. She could see where he was coming from.

“Hehe… I guess I could see where that plays into the situation. So, you don’t have any reservations about, possibly… I don’t know… taking us a bit… farther…?” Luna asked, still being careful with her words but still very curious. Seafire only smirked and lightly shook his head.

“No. Not anymore at least. And having a thousand years-worth of bottled up hormones? I sympathize with that very much actually,” He replied, humor evident in his voice. Luna giggled in return.

“Well, it is somewhat sad, actually. I believe I could use some… comfort…” she hinted. If that wasn’t a dead giveaway Seafire didn’t know what was. He played along.

“And what exactly would you consider… comfort?” he asked, tightening his grip around her waist. Luna lowered her eyelids and closed the distance between their faces.

“I intend to demonstrate…” she replied one last time before she pressed her lips tenderly to his, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into her. As they deepened their show of deep affection, Seafire let his own instincts take over, and he began to lightly brush his fingers up and down Luna’s back, and he could tell it was well received by her slight shudders. She responded in turn by lightly grinding herself into him rhythmically and also deepening their kiss. One of his hands disappeared but made itself known, due to the result being Luna starting to moan into his mouth. She couldn’t take it anymore.

She wanted him… no… she needed him. And she had to have him right now.

Luna flared her magic and tossed Seafire onto his couch and pinning him under her. With that, she harshly removed her top, leaving her clad in only a teal bra. She then leaned into his face, barely centimeters away from his lips, but still giving him ample view of her assets.

“The outside world doesn’t exist right now. It’s just you… and me. We’re going to enjoy this…”

“Luna, I hope you know that the start of the festival is less than two hours away,” Seafire reminded her.

“Child, we’ve got time.”

“… wait what?”

“No matter! By the time this is done, I don’t want to be able to stand straight, do you hear me?” Luna asked almost assertively. It was readily apparent that she had completely forgone any impeding reason. Seafire found it quite attractive to say the least. He had refrained long enough. Seafire picked up Luna suddenly and reversed their positions, pinning her under him. He kissed her neck (which she apparently loved) as he brought one of his hands up to lightly cup her breast through her bra which, even though it was very light, drove her insane… to the point where if something interrupted their act, Luna would completely and utterly lose it. She mentally locked the front door as a precaution, even going as far as to put a small electric field on the door’s surface to prevent anyone from knocking.

“Your eyes tell me a lot about what you’re thinking…” Seafire mentioned as he locked yes with her.

“Oh? And what do mine tell you?”

“They tell me that you’re ready to be on the receiving end of a figurative onslaught, because you’re definitely in for it now!” Seafire joked in a sultry manner. Luna giggled heartily in anticipation before he pressed his lips to hers again, continuing to work his hand on her chest.

Yes, time definitely was not an issue for the two lovers.

[INSERT CH. 7.5 HERE]

Seven o’clock rolled around, and hundreds of people were filtering into the town square where a giant stage was set up. There were concession stands all around the perimeter and they extended throughout the streets of Ponyville. Pinkie didn’t let up on the decorations, and she lived up to her name, for they were perfect! Citizens from not just Ponyville, but other places such as from Canterlot to Manehattan, were beginning to crowd around the stage for the opening announcement and acts which would commence the night’s events.

Fluttershy peeked out of the curtain towards the ever expanding crowd of people. What she did see, however, were all her friends in the front row. Dash, AJ, Pinkie, and Rarity were all waiting for them to hit the stage, in company with Celestia and Windfire. Also, Luna was there with Seafire. She was leaning back into his embrace, his hands wrapped around her front and resting on her abdomen. They both had a sense of gleeful aura about them, and they looked positively radiant. Luna especially seemed completely blissful. It didn’t take long for the pink haired girl to put two and two together, to which she started blushing immediately, but couldn’t stifle a giggle. Still, she was definitely a bit apprehensive about the coming events to say the least. The band that would be playing was finishing setting up, and Twilight’s act was mere moments away.

“Don’t worry, Fluttershy. You’re going to do spectacularly! Everyone will love you!” Twilight reassured with a sweet smile. Before Fluttershy could respond, someone came up to them.

“Miss Sparkle, you’re up!”

“You better go, Twilight. Soften them up for me!” Fluttershy joked. Twilight hugged her quickly before proceeding out of the curtain. A great amount of applause met the young magic-adept’s appearance, especially from her friends who furiously cheered her on and yelled out her name. Twilight waved to the crowd, and she looked especially dressed for the occasion. She was wearing what looked like a standard school girl outfit with the skirt and everything, but the jacket and top were ripped in a couple locations, on top of having intricate designs on her stockings. The top was sleeveless on one side, with the outfit’s natural frilly sleeve covering her other shoulder. One of the rips also coincided right with her chest line, adding an extra sense of sexiness to her that few had ever seen. Twilight wore the look very well; that much was certain.

“Good evening, Ponyville!!” Twilight shouted happily into the microphone which was mounted on a stand. A wave of cheering started and she encouraged it. She wanted to make sure everyone had a good time. No check-lists this time.

“Well! Sounds like everyone is ready! So I’ll keep it short and sweet: Welcome to the Ponyville Foundation Festival!” Twilight shouted again, eliciting another round of excited applause. Fluttershy was completely mesmerized as to how Twilight could motivate the crowd with just a few words. Even their friends seemed bustling with energy and anticipation.

“Now! Before we get started… I have just… one little question for all of you!” Twilight shouted again, pointing out to the entire crowd. The crowd fell silent at what she was going to ask. With that, she looked back to the band and nodded with a confident smirk before turning back to the crowd.

“Do you wanna get ROCKED?!”

The band sprang into action immediately, and the guitar started up with haste, bringing the crowd into a frenzy before they, along with Twilight, began to chant:

All: “Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get”

All: “Rocked… rocked… rocked… rocked…!”

The heavy guitar and drum started immediately, and with that, Twilight took it away:

Twi: “I’m your average, ordinary, everyday kid,”

Her friends all stifled a small giggle because that was probably farther from the truth than she let on.  Nevertheless, they were rocking it to the beat.

“Happy to do nothing. In fact that’s what I did,”

“I got a million ways to make my day, but daddy don’t agree.”

“ ‘Cos when I try to get away, he says,”

“He got plans for me”

Twilight was jerking her body perfectly to the beat of the drums while levitating the microphone out of the stand, leaving her to her movements.

Band: “Get your butt right outta bed!”

Twi: “Stop buggin’ me”

Band: “Get up and move your sleepy head!”

Twi: “Don’t shake my tree…”

“He said:”

Band: “ Mow the lawn!”

Twi: “Who, me?” Twilight put the most convincing, innocent face on.

Band: “Walk the dog!”

Twi: “Not my style, man!” She nonchalantly shook her head and waved her hand dismissively.

Band: “Take out the trash!”

Twi: “No way!”

Band: “Tidy your room!”

Twi: “Come on, get real!” Twilight put her hands on her cocked hips and put on a very disbelieving look. Fluttershy was enormously impressed. Even the other girls were slowly dropping their jaws at her performance. Twilight smiled again before continuing:

Twi: “Sorry dad, gotta disappear”

“Let’s get the ROCK outta here!”  She shot her hand out to the crowd, which erupted in another loud cheer. She then levitated the mic back to her hand and proceeded to slowly walk down each step towards the crowd, stepping with conviction to the even drum beat.

All: “Seven day weekend,”

“Up all night,”

“In at the deep end,”

“Hang on tight,”  She retraced her steps back to the stage.

All: “Won’t take a minute,”

“Won’t take long,”

“So get on in it,”

“Come on, Come on, Come on!”  Twilight re-racked the mike and proceeded to swing the stand at the turn of each word stoppage:

All: “Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!”

“Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!” She levitated the mike again and continued to sing her heart out.

Twi: “Let’s go all the way!”

“Get it night ‘n day!”

“Come on,”

All: “Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!”

The change in tempo signaled the beginning of the next part:

Twi: “I’m your average ordinary, everyday dude,”

“Drivin’ with my baby, to get ‘er in the mood,”

“She’s dialin’ through my radio and I’m ready to make my move,”

“But what she got ain’t rock ‘n roll and it really blew my groove,”

She lowered her eyelids, creating a more seductive look for her face to go along with her smile.

“It was:”

Band: “Chopin, Moozart, Beethoofen!”

Twi: “It makes me wanna scream!” She clasped her hands to her head in a show of mock agony.

Band: “Bach, Tchaicoltsky, Violins!”

“Turn it off!”

Twi: “That ain’t my scene,” She shook her head with a grin.

“Well I’m sorry, girl, here’s my confession:”

“I suppose rock’s out of the question?”

Twilight winked to the crowed and flared her hips once, driving everyone wild. Luna found her antics very unlike Twilight, and she was definitely in her own little trance. However, she found that it fit her very well and found it oddly… attractive. Luna had noticed that of all the guys she witnessed in the crowd, few were able to take their eyes off of Twilight. For all they were concerned, Twilight was the most beautiful girl in all of Equestria.

All: “Seven day weekend,”

“Up all night,”

“In at the deep end,”

“Hang on tight,”  

All: “Won’t take a minute,”

“Won’t take long,”

“So get on in it,”

“Come on, Come on, Come on!”  

Twilight leaned up on one of the guitarists and they began to sing together in the microphone:

All: “Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!”

“Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!”

Twilight detached herself and took the lead again. None of her friends could resist bobbing along to the hypnotic beat of the song. Fluttershy was even subconsciously tapping her feet while still being awestruck by Twilight’s performance.

Twi: “Let’s go all the way!”

“Get it night ‘n day!”

“Come on,”

All: “Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!”

Twi: “Ooh!”

All: “All I wanna do is take a ride into the blue,”

“But every time I want to, I get stuck inside my room”

“Heaven knows I’m sick and tired of dancin’ with this broom.”

Twilight strutted along with the change in tempo.

Twi: “I feel lucky today,”

There was loud whistling in the crowd

Twi: “Hey look at that, man!

“Do you wanna get rocked?”

“Do you wanna get… ROCKED!?” Twilight raised the mike and her head to the heavens as she hit the high and powerful note! The crowd went wild. Guitar filled the space where there was no lyric, and Twilight took the opportunity to prance around a bit and smile greatly, albeit careful not to show off much. But soon it was back to work:

Twi: “Oooooooh!”

All: “Won’t take you a minute

“Won’t take that long,”

Twi: “Yeeaaahh!”

All: “So get on, get with it!”

“Ooh, come on,”

Twi: “EVERYBODY!” At that cue, the entire crowd couldn’t resist and even Luna joined in:

Everyone: “Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!”

Twi: “Get on top, baby!”

Everyone: “Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!”

Twi: “Do you wanna?”

“DO YOU WANNA?!” Twilight sang more forcefully, her smile never waning.

Everyone: “Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!”

Twi: “Get on top of it!”

Everyone: “Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get rocked!”

Twi: “Love to rock your body, baby!”

Everyone: “(Twi: Let’s) get,(Twi: Let’s) get, (Twi: Let’s) get, Let’s get rocked!”

Twilight performed perfect backup synchronization before moving to finish up strong:

All: “Let’s go all the way!”

“Let’s do it night and day!”

“Let’s get out and play!”

“Rock the night away!”

“Come on,”

“Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get, Let’s get…” Twilight moved even closer to the crowd before buckling her legs slightly.

Twi: “Rocked…” Twilight then looked up to the crowd with a determined grin.

“Do you wanna get rocked?”

With that, the music ended completely. Twilight struck one last pose before flaring her magic and sending off several magic rockets in explosive fanfare. The crowd went absolutely ballistic and cheered their throats out. Twilight’s friends were all completely blown away at her performance.

“TWILIGHT!” Rarity shouted in glee.

“THAT’S OUR GIRL! YEEAAA BUDDY!” Rainbow Dash commented. The rest of her friends had garbled cheers. Fluttershy was enormously impressed, as previously stated. How could she even hope to compare to that?

Twilight gave one more curtsy to the crowd, wiping a bit of sweat off of her brow that accumulated from the performance.

“Well, I say it looks like you are! Thank you all so much! And please, give a nice warm welcome to the Element of Kindness, and one of my best friends, Fluttershy!” Twilight announced, panting somewhat from the enormous mental and physical exertion. The crowd applauded and cheered furiously in anticipation.

“You’re up, Miss Fluttershy,” one of the stageheads told her. She gulped once and nodded, not hesitating to walk out and meet Twilight. Fluttershy was wearing a light blue sleeveless top and some ripped jeans. While there was no aperture or any ripping that exposed anything much for her, such as any cleavage, the top hugged her tighter than normal, defining her figure even more. Had to hand it to her, she wore it very well. Unanimous agreement on that part.

“Go get ‘em, Shy!” Twilight whispered with a wink before hugging her again and jumping down to meet the rest of their friends. With that, Fluttershy was left on stage, front and center, with the band. The audience went a bit silent in anticipation.

“H-hey Ponyville!” Fluttershy said just loud enough and forcefully enough to elicit a nice cheer of reassurance from everyone. Her apprehensiveness was still showing. But, there was no turning back now. She closed her eyes and took one deep breath, before exhaling and exposing her brilliant turquoise eyes to everyone, holding a determined look. She gazed back at the band, giving a curt nod.

With that signal, they got right to it. The music began at a modest tempo, the drum beat steady and the guitars playing smoothly. Fluttershy felt the rhythm through her body and let it take her over. She started to bob her head to it and slowly form a smile, ultimately leading to her tapping and moving her legs, just like the rehearsals. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Dash cheering her on and nodding furiously. With that, Fluttershy took it away:

“A wild ride.”

“Over stony ground,”  She began to gain a bit more confidence and started to lightly prance around to the beat.

“Such a lust for life…”

“Circus comes to town,”

Fluttershy, taking her friends (other than Rainbow) by complete surprise, flipped her hair very sensually.

“We are the hungry ones,”

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath

“On a lighting raid.” She grinned deviously… something rarely seen from her.

”Just like a river runs!”

“Like a fire needs flame… OH!”

“I burn for YOU!” her voice gradually lost her shyness when she let the music take her over. Her movements, gyrations, and antics became nigh second nature to her.

All: “Oh I got to feel it in my blood!

“Woah-oh!”

“I need your touch, don’t need your love”

“Woah-oh!”

She ducked low and curved her back into an arch to move into her next move and lyric. The subtle sounds of men's jaws dropping could be heard with some effort.

All: “And I want,”

“And I need,”

“And I lust,”

“Animal,”

“And I want,”

“And I need,”

“And I lust,”

“Animal,”

Fluttershy took inspiration from Twilight and winked at the crowd. Needless to say the men (and some women) went nuts. She was really into it now.

Shy: “I cry wolf…”

“Given mouth to mouth,”

“Like a movin’ heartbeat…”

“In the witching hour,”

“I’m running with the wind,”

“A shadow in the dust,”

Fluttershy flipped her hair again and turned her gaze to the crowd. Using vocal energy unheard of from her, she gripped her audience in her voice:

Shy: “And like the drivin’ rain! Yeah!”

“Like the restless ruuust!”

“I never sleep.”

Fluttershy spun on her legs gracefully as she walked back towards the middle of the stage.

All: “I got to feel it in my blood!

“Woah-oh!”

“I need your touch, don’t need your love”

Shy: “Woah-oh!”

She put on a huge, genuine grin. She skillfully gyrated her hips to the beat:

All: “And I want,”

“And I need,”

“And I lust,”

“Animal,”

“And I want,”

“And I need,”

“And I lust,”

“Animal,”

Shy: “Huh!”

A radical shift in the tempo of the song in combination with the lighting caused more cheering and a nice surprise for everyone.

Shy: “Cry wolf, baby… cry tough…”

“Gonna hunt you like an… an, an, an, an ANIMAL!”

She bent low before guiding her hand upward and pulling herself up again, facing the crowd and hiding one of her eyes behind her flowing pink hair. That small, iconic gesture of hers had an even more profound effect on everyone this time around. Luna and Celestia couldn’t help but mouth “wow…” at the same time. Rainbow Dash was evidently very pleased, as were the rest of their friends.

“Gonna take your love and run!”

The solo took it away for a few moments, allowing Fluttershy to dance around a bit and point out to a few guys in the crowd, giving them a few smiles and winks before taking it away once more. Needless to say her growing confidence was definitely showing:

All: “Oh I got to feel it in my blood!

“Woah-oh!”

“I need your touch, don’t need your love”

“Woah-oh!”

All: “And I want,”

“And I need,”

“And I lust,”

“Animal,”

From the tempo of the music, there was one last stretch to go. Fluttershy turned on her heels quickly, her hair majestically flowing behind her, before flowing and moving beautifully to the beat to her own heart’s content.

Band: “And I want”

Shy: “And I want!”

Band: “And I need,”

Shy: “And I need!”

Band: “And I lust,”

Shy: “And I luuust!”

Band: “Animal,”

Shy: “Animaal!”

She was having an absolute blast. Her friends, along with the crowd, were in figurative Hysteria (A/N: If you get that little but crappy pun, you're amazing an I love you)), cheering her on immensely while moving along with the beat. Fluttershy then gave it her absolute all:

Band: “And I want!”

Shy: “Take me!”

Band: “And I need!”

Shy: “Tame me!”  she hid her eye behind her flowing hair again as she moved her hips to the right.

Band: “And I lust!”

Shy: “Make me…”

Band: “Animal!”

Shy: “…your Animal!”  She sported a very sultry grin, complemented by half lidded eyes. Rainbow was even floored… they never practiced that! Nevertheless, she… well… she wore it well, let’s put it that way.

Band: “And I want!”

Shy: “Show me!”

Band: “And I need!”

Shy: “Stroke me!”  She traced her curvature down her shoulders, her breasts, her stomach, and her butt with both of her hands in one fast and fluid motion.

Band: “And I lust!”

Shy: “Let me be your…”

All: “Animal!”

The music stopped dead… Fluttershy froze her pose before grinning.

Band: “And I want!”  It started right back up.

Shy: “I want!”

Band: “And I need!”

Shy: “Oooh-oooh yeah,”

Band: “And I lust!”

Shy: “Animaaal!”

All: “ANIMAL!”  

The song ended this time around, and Fluttershy had struck her last pose, which was her body twisted in a way that defined her curves, yet she retained her left eye and left part of her smiling mouth behind her hair. The crowd erupted in a deathly loud cheer. Fluttershy came out of her stupor and her humility returned. She placed a hand behind her back and traced the floor with her foot as she waved lightly in appreciation to everyone, while grinning somewhat sheepishly. Her friends all rushed the stage and grabbed her in a gigantic group hug. She couldn’t hold back her giggle and adrenaline high. As they all embraced and posed for pictures, Luna could feel the bonds between all her friends strengthen considerably. She looked towards Celestia, who gave her a curt nod and a sweet grin before planting a kiss on Windfire’s cheek.

With that done, the two let other bands and singers perform as they all went on to enjoy their night: eating, drinking, playing games, and overall, just being with each other. Luna couldn’t have been happier.

For her, today was a memorable day in many senses of the word.

“I see you finally ‘hit that’”  Celestia said in mindchat with a shit-eating grin.

“You had to do that, Tia… you REALLY had to… didn’t you?”
