Twilight Sparkle sighed to herself as she lie in bed, staring at the ceiling. She was glad she got Rarity to admit she was in the wrong, and very glad that she volunteered to accompany Pinkie to apologize to Minty about the whole thing. Part of her hoped for the best outcome there could be out of this whole sordid affair. However, she wasn't so gullible as to believe it would be that simple. Fluttershy may have broken through Minty's defenses, but the wounds were still there.

With a sigh she reached a hoof under her pillow and found one of those novels she borrowed from Rarity. She pulled it out and began to flip through it with her magic, finding her jealously at the females in the story returning as she lamented the fact she had the bed all to herself. She sat up and peered over the foot of the bed, checking to see if Spike was indeed asleep. He had a goofy smile on his face, no doubt dreaming about being Rarity's knight in shining armor. She rolled her eyes at the hopeless romantic when something faint caught her attention.

“Oh, Apple Bloom....” Spike muttered to himself, rolling over just as Twilight shot a surprised glance in his direction, otherwise she would've seen the dragon was excited about something in particular.

Well, that's new... Twilight blushed. She didn't like keeping secrets, as she was terrible at it. Nor did she like eavesdropping on her friends, especially her little brother. But here he was, proclaiming love for a filly no older than he. For some strange reason, this intimate moment served to make Twilight more flustered, as she felt that all too familiar heat below. She stared at the sleeping dragon as her hoof began to subconsciously slide below the blanket, parting her outer lips as she let out a small moan of pleasure. Her eyes shot open and hoof retreated as she stared intently at the dragon, hoping she didn't wake him. WHAT AM I DOING?! she scolded herself. He's my little brother! I can't look at him like that.....can I? She bit her lip as these strange thoughts began to bubble in her stomach. If Spike was indeed going out with Apple Bloom, the last thing she wanted was for him to be unfaithful to satisfy her own needs. Then again, what she didn't know.....

NO! Twilight shook her head violently. Sure I'm desperate for a guy. But am I honestly THAT desperate? At least Spike was someone she knew loved her in return, and could trust not to use or abuse her. Her gaze fell back on the dragon and she let out a frustrated sigh. You're lucky I'm gonna to be busy tomorrow. With a final huff that she wasn't going to get to sleep in this condition, she used her magic to levitate the bag from under her bed, quietly slid out from under the covers, and trotted towards the bathroom. With a soft click of the door, she was alone once again in her fortress of solitude.

She clicked on the light and blinked a few times as her eyes adjusted. Smirking at her reflection showing her messy mane, she took a seat upon the toilet, her hind legs spread. She levitated the toy from the bag, ensuring that she was going to get it in the proper opening this time. After examining it a bit further, she gripped it in her hooves and slowly brought it to her mouth. She froze when she realized where it had been, then got up and began washing it off in the sink. Idiot...

The sound of running water banging in the pipes woke Spike from his slumber, which made him quickly realize that he had business he needed to tend to. He blushed as the thoughts of Apple Bloom continued to play in his head, his smile turning into a frown as he craved release. He didn't notice Twilight was gone as he headed towards the bathroom, which made him frown in confusion when he encountered the locked door. The water had stopped running so he decided to wait for Twilight to finish and exit. After a few more minuets, nothing happened and he was still stranded. He folded his arms and fumed at this turn of events, but vowed not to go anywhere so as not to miss the next opening.

Twilight had taken her place back upon the toilet, slowly bringing the newly clean toy to her mouth as she licked at the tip. Still no flavor, but she didn't care as she slowly took in the length, moaning slightly at the feeling. Her hoof returned to the ministrations she was performing earlier, the pointed tip hammering upon the fleshy nub as she shivered from the jolts emitting from her joy buzzer. Spike could hear noises but couldn't for the life of him figure out what was going on. He recalled the last time Twilight locked herself in the bathroom, but it wasn't that time of season yet. He pressed a curious ear to the door and held his breath, blushing as he felt perverted for spying on his big sister. After his experience with Apple Bloom, he hadn't been thinking straight anyway, and now he felt this was a good a time as any to 'take notes' as it were, so he would be prepared for their next get together.

The toy slid from Twilight's muzzle with a lewd sound, making her blush slightly as she lowered it to the burning fire between her flanks. She paused long enough to get her thoughts in order this time, deciding to take the manual route instead of using her magic. Once she was positive she was in the right opening, she pressed it forward, a loud gasp as she parted around the wide toy. Her cheeks were on fire as she relished the feeling of being filled, the design of the toy making sure to rub against her clit as it went in further. So this is what it feels like... she thought, her mind drifting back to those filthy novels. Words didn't do the experience justice as her hoof began thrusting the toy in and out, eliciting mouthed swears and short breaths.

Spike found himself blushing madly as he heard the noises from within the porcelain tomb. His paw began reaching down to his own length, remembering why he was here to begin with. Part of him felt kind of dirty for doing this to the sounds of his own surrogate sister. Then again, they were just siblings in concept only. Twilight had been so good to him, raising him like a son but loving him like a brother. Maybe...maybe their relationship could be something more. He frowned when he thought of Apple Bloom and how she might react. Could he bring himself to be a stud about town?

Twilight began reaching her climax, her hoof working faster than before as she began gulping down the air like she was drowning. She felt her inner walls gripping the toy, trying to pull it deeper on their own accord, and finally her orgasm struck, tearing through every nerve in her body. Her cheeks burned as her back arched to the point she almost slid off of the toilet. Her hind legs kicked wildly at the air, twitching in time with her inner walls as her hoof became soaked with nectar. Her other hoof found her nipples and began rubbing them out of sheer bliss, her mind unaware she was even doing such a task. Her tongue hung from her mouth as a final wave came through, her hips thrusting forward as she cried out. “OH! SPIKE!”

Spike fell over backwards at the shouting of his name, staring dumbly at the door. Did that just happen? He heard hooves shuffling around in the bathroom, and quickly scrambled back to his bed, pulling the blankets up as high as he could, and crushing his eyes shut in an attempt to be asleep. He heard the bathroom door open, heard the light shut off. Hoofsteps back to the bed nearby as the blushing unicorn climbed back under the covers, scolding hereslf at such an outburst. She took one last glance at the dragon, who seemed to be breathing faster, and sighed. Good, still asleep. That would've been awkward.

She lie back, sinking into her pillow, her vision still fuzzy as her body began to come down. How was she going to contend with this? With a final yawn, she closed her eyes and drifted off to a blissful sleep.

The next morning came and went off without a hitch, except for the strange silence that hung in the air of the kitchen as Spike and Twilight stared at each other in some sort of unspoken contest. Both of them knew things that could utterly destroy the other, but neither of them dared speak of their forbidden knowledge. Their troubled eyes locked more than once as thoughts of does he/she know?! cycled through their addled brains. Twilight finally broke the silence with a loud sigh. She looked terrible, since she didn't get much sleep last night, for obvious reasons. “Today is the day Pinkie and Rarity apologize to Minty. I hope it goes well.” A loud yawn escaped her lips, and she quickly placed a hoof over her mouth in embarrassment.

“You sound tired. Didn't sleep well last night?” Spike asked, quirking a brow.

“Well, it was kind of hard when a certain dragon was talking in his sleep.” Twilight smirked. She saw Spike freeze and stare at her, his green eyes filled with sudden horror. “I swear, I've never heard Rarity's name mentioned so many times,” the unicorn finished, waving a passive hoof. She glanced at Spike, who visibly relaxed his tense muscles.

“Yeah...well....you know how it is....” Spike muttered, thankful that was as far as his nocturnal emissions went. “I was worried about you last night, too. I thought you were getting sick in the bathroom.”

It was Twilight's turn to freeze now, her eyes darting around for anything to change the subject, or at least a quick exit from the room. The dragon didn't let on that he knew anything, his poker face showing genuine concern instead of that grin one gets when somepony was caught in a lie. “Well, I thought I was going to, but I didn't. Cold weather and all,” she closed her eyes and nodded, more out of self confirmation than Spike buying it. The dragon only nodded, his concern melting away. Twilight couldn't tell if that was genuine, but figured it sweet nonetheless. She sighed at the thought that this elephant in the room would have to be dealt with eventually. Both of them obviously knew what the other was hiding, which made all the acting dumb even more unbearable. Twilight wanted to clear the air right then and there, but decided against it on the off chance Spike really was oblivious to last night's events.

A knock on the front door provided the excuse she needed to leave the oppressive kitchen and Spike's constant stare. Twilight trotted to the front door and opened it to see Rarity and Pinkie standing before her. Rarity had done herself up to look nice for the occasion, her mane more coiffed than usual. Pinkie just pawed at the ground with a nervous hoof, dreading the potential outcome this could have.

“Darling, you look beat! Didn't you get any sleep last night?” Rarity asked, her sapphire eyes quickly noticing the bags under the eyes of her fellow unicorn.

“Not really,” Twilight blushed. “Guess I was just worried about today, ya know?” She mustered a half-hearted smile. Rarity stared blankly at the purple unicorn before a knowing smile crossed her face and she nodded in agreement.

“I understand dear,” she waved a hoof. “I for one was also on pins and needles after our talk last night. I do hope this goes well, for Pinkie's sake,” she glanced over that the pink earth pony, who had remained uncharacteristically quiet the whole time.

“Don't worry, Pinkie....If Minty is a true friend, she will understand.” Twilight reassured, patting Pinkie on the back.

“I hope so...” Pinkie frowned.
