It didn't take long for Luna to come back in through the open balcony doors, grinning like a naughty schoolfilly, "She doesn't suspect-" she said, before stopping dead in her tracks at the sight of Twilight.

Rarity was a master craftspony, with an eye for detail and dedicated to perfection. She had made Twilight a ‘Naughty Nurse’ outfit to accentuate Twilight's natural beauty, and made it very well. The pristine white coat curved scandalously over her flank while the sleeves gave her long, slim legs that would complement any model. The neat collar contrasted beautifully with Twilight's long and graceful neck. Rarity's dresses didn't need to tell lies in this case, but they accentuated the truth wonderfully in Luna's eyes.

It wasn't the outfit that made Luna stop in her tracks, though, but rather Twilight’s innocently mischievous smile emphasised by a slight blush. She looked adorable and sexy.

"Excelsior!" said Luna, "I mean, *ahem* 'Hello Nurse Twilight! Are you here to take care-'"

Luna stopped suddenly, and then in response to Twilight's slightly panicked look, pointed behind her. Li'l Twi was sitting on the bed, looking attentive and curious.

Twilight facehoofed.

"Allow me," said Princess Luna, who summoned a rectangular black doorway into being, hovering in the air like a featureless monolith. She then trotted over to Li'l Twi and lifted the unresisting filly by the scruff of her neck with a carefully gentle bite.

“Wheee!”

“Luna, how can you do that? I thought I was the only pony who could interact with her. Well, Pinkie Pie and me, anyway.”

Luna swung her head around and carefully threw the filly through the dimensional portal.

"Oh my! Luna, it's full of toys!"

"She'll have fun in a dream playpen, I hope," said Luna as she dismissed the darkness, "I'll bring her back in the morning. As for your question, she is an animated illusion and a creature of the subconscious, so she falls into my domain. Anyway, enough questions for now. It’s time to have a little fun."

Luna moved to Twilight with a pegasus' grace and lowered her head to sniff at Twilight's hindquarters. Twilight playfully swatted Luna's head with her tail as she retreated.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! That is no way to treat a nurse."

"But nurse! I have a fever and you are my only cure!" Luna pressed forward, running her hooves along Twilight's flank and nuzzling her neck with urgency. Twilight was having none of it, and laughingly pushed her away.

"Twilight, please. Can we just have a little fun before we start? You look irresistible, I can't wait..."

"No! Bad goddess! Naughty goddess. Do you want me?" asked Twilight, striking a pose showing off her flank to good effect.

"Yes!" said Luna, almost drooling.

"Do you need me?" asked Twilight as she leaned forward, staring into Luna's eyes with barely restrained lust.

"Yes!"

"Would you do anything for me?" she asked, rubbing along Luna's side, making the princess shiver.

"Yes!"

"Good," said Twilight briskly, "Then you're going to be a good little patient and follow Nurse Twilight's orders."

Luna groaned with desire, but hung her head in acquiescence.

"Don't worry, Nurse Twilight will take good care of you," said Twilight, kissing her pet goddess on the forehead, "Now, you said that you had a fever. Let me consult my books."

Twilight turned away from Luna and buried her head in a book she laid out on the floor, deliberately turning her haunch to Luna. As the princess stared, Twilight coyly flicked her tail, briefly exposing her marehood. Luna groaned again.

"Ah ha!" said Twilight, "It says here that a fever can be a symptom for many maladies, including-" here she gasped for effect, "-poor hoof care!" She turned back to her patient, looking serious, "This is an emergency! We must act at once!"

"Um, are you sure? That sounds a little strange, maybe you should consult-"

"Are you impugning my medical training? I could have been a doctor, I'll have you know! Nurses just get sexier uniforms. Now, we must get the weight off your hooves immediately."

Twilight grasped the feebly complaining alicorn in her magical aura and easily lifted her off her hooves. Luna was disconcerted to find that the aura was putting just a little more pressure on certain parts of her body than others. It was very distracting.

"Now, it says here, 'a winged pony who spends insufficient time groundside may get sore hooves when walking. Immobilising the wings will encourage the pony to trot more, toughening up their hooves.' That should be easy: I brought bandages."

Luna found herself suddenly flipped upside down, bringing her barrel and wings within Twilight's reach. Luna's wings were already flaring out with arousal, but Twilight had done her homework. Tickling Luna under the wings caused her to laugh and squirm helplessly, reflexively bringing her wings back to her sides. Leaping at the opportunity, Twilight began to wrap Luna’s middle up in bandages.

After the first couple of turns were done with lightning fast magic, Twilight continued to bandage the goddess with her hooves. With each pass around Luna's body, Twilight caressed her lover, trailing hooves over the sensitive nerves on her wings and her ticklish belly. She also licked, kissed and nibbled at her neck, eliciting moans of pleasure. Luna reflexively tried to stretch her wings in arousal, but the bandages held them fast. It seemed to take forever for Twilight to completely cover her wings in gauze, tickling and teasing her all the while, but eventually a red faced Twilight decided that Luna wouldn't be flying again that night. After she tied off the bandages after the final pass she ran a trail of kisses up Luna's neck. Standing over the inverted mare's head, she leaned down and kissed her passionately. Breaking off the kiss and ignoring the unhappy noises this caused her patient to produce, she then deposited Luna on the bed.

"Phew. Right, where was I? Oh yes, your poor, poor hooves. Let's see, shall we? 'In the case of hooves already damaged by too much walking, it is important to protect them from further damage.' Isn't that nice and clear? Thankfully, I brought a LOT of bandages."

"Uh, nurse? I assure you that my hooves are fine. My fever has only gotten worse, though. Maybe you could help me..." Luna trailed off.

"Nonsense - the fever is just a symptom. Now please leave healthcare to the professionals. Shush, while I take care of you."

More rolls of bandages were brought out and magically unwound around each of Luna's hooves to the fetlocks with considerable speed, until it appeared that Luna had four white socks.

"Hmm, I need to get your poor hooves off the ground, to prevent further damage, but this isn't a proper hospital bed. Aha! I have it!"

Twilight climbed dexterously onto the bed and then onto Luna. Twilight then turned around and crouched over Luna's head. This put her marehood in easy licking distance for Luna, who was more than happy to oblige. As she squirmed and moaned with pleasure, Twilight doggedly bound all of Luna's hooves together with bandages. Each of Luna's long legs were now fully outstretched and touching at the hooves. Luna was far too busy eating out Twilight for her to be concerned about how helpless she was, so Twilight reluctantly dismounted Luna and the bed. Luna whined in disappointment.

"There!" said a slightly breathless Twilight, "That should keep your hooves nice and safe."

Taking advantage of Luna's helplessness, Twilight ran a hoof in a lazy circle over the goddess' inner thigh. Luna moaned. Twilight continued to rub, letting her hoof drift closer and closer to Luna's dripping marehood with each cycle. She brought her muzzle close, breathing on Luna’s swollen sex, causing her to gasp and arch her back. She stretched out her long, dexterous tongue and let it trail tantalisingly close to Luna's treasure.

Luna was twitching with need, "Please, please, please," she whispered.

"Diet!" exclaimed Twilight suddenly, pulling away her hoof and looking up.

"Aaaah! No! Please," howled a desperate Luna.

"Yes, diet is essential for healthy hooves. Let me see what I have in my bags," said Twilight, ignoring Luna's mounting frustration.

Twilight opened her saddlebags and leapt back with mock surprise as an orange rolled out, apparently of its own volition.

"Oh look," she said, "I think it likes you!" as the enchanted orange bounced onto the bed and then onto Luna. Its first point of contact was a part of Luna that was currently very sensitive, and Luna squawked in protest before it rolled up her body. She opened her mouth to protest, but before she could say a word, it bounced in, gagging her.

Luna tried to spit out the orange, but its enchantment held it in place. She tried squashing it with her jaws, but it simply deflected and then bounced back into shape when the pressure was gone. Thrashing her head side to side did nothing.

"Now who's intimate with animated oranges?" asked Twilight smugly. Luna glared in reply.

"Okay, quickly: one quick moan is a 'yes', two are a 'no' and three are 'red' or 'stop'. Okay?"

"Mmm"

"Good," said Twilight before kissing Luna on the cheek.

"Now, we've taken action to prevent further damage. We've got the diet sorted. Now we need to see if all this hard work has had any effect," Twilight completely ignored the expanding sodden area that was forming on the bed around Luna's haunches, "Hmm, I can't just look at your hooves because of all those bandages... I know! Keratin! I just need to inspect your horn. Very, very closely."

Luna's eyes widened and she gave a long moan of desire and need.

With an exaggerated leer Twilight approached Luna, eyes fixed on struggling Luna's horn. A purple magic aura sprung up, wrapping around Luna's head, holding it firmly in place. With a little giggle, she settled down at the head of the bed and began to lick. She started with a few flicking tongue licks, barely touching Luna's highly sensitive horn, and was rewarded with a few muffled yelps and twitches. Starting at the base of the horn, she slowly worked her way along its graceful length, teasing it with her tongue as Luna panted and struggled mightily in her bonds.

Once Twilight had finally reached the tip of Luna's horn, she gave it a little suck, causing her lover's breath to catch and body to freeze. Releasing the pressure, she worked her way back down, licking continuously. Luna was breathing fast now, and Twilight was keen to get to the main event. Quick kisses and powerful licks took her back to the tip of Luna's horn. She took as much of Luna's long horn in her mouth as she could, closed her lips around it and sucked hard. Luna came within seconds. Twilight greedily sucked at the torrent of magic that was released.

"Hah! Your horn appears to be in fine shape," Twilight told the gasping princess, releasing her, and then sighed theatrically, "Medicine is rewarding work, but now I'm feeling thirsty. Hmmm."

Luna was unable to recover her senses enough to respond before Twilight had strolled round to the foot of the bed and began lapping up the plentiful fluids she found there. Her questing tongue soon found the source of the liquid and pressed its way in. Luna was still highly sensitive from her horngasm, and was soon moaning and groaning loudly as Twilight explored Luna's marehood with her agile tongue, gently teasing Luna's nub with her hoof as she worked.

Twilight already knew some of what Luna liked, but was as-ever eager to find new things to try. Long, slow, circular licks seemed to be appreciated, but running her tongue in and out at speed was even better. She soon fell into a rhythm, switching between slow and fast motions as Luna's cries of pleasure escalated in volume. Twilight was happily experimenting when she found a new nerve cluster with her writhing tongue. It was enough to set Luna off again, back arched and high-pitched noises coming from around the gag orange.

She had a long evening planned and knew that Luna would need this initial release from above and below if she was to stand for the further teasing Twilight had in mind, but still Twilight was disappointed that Luna didn't last any longer. The finale, a double orgasm from both ends, was hours away in Twilight's plan and she didn't want to have to rush it.

"Now really, Miss Luna. That is most disappointing performance from an alicorn. You are clearly lacking in resolve and moral fibre. I shall have to punish you now, in order to help you build character."

Relying on alicorns sharing earth ponies' endurance, Twilight lowered her head again to force Luna into a couple more orgasms, in the hope that it would teach her a lesson.

As Luna thrashed around in the ecstasy of her third orgasm, Twilight still had her head buried between Luna's legs. As such, neither pony noticed Princess Celestia enter the room through the balcony windows until she exclaimed, "Oh!"

Both ponies on the bed froze, and then turned to look at Celestia, blushes starting to form on their cheeks. There was absolutely no way that Celestia could misinterpret the scene before her. Twilight's mind seized up and she began to quietly panic, "I... I... We... er..."

Luna wasn't doing much better, struggling to free herself from her bonds to speak with her sister, only to find that Twilight had enchanted the bandages to resist both Luna's deific strength and her divine magic. Her new struggles were having some effect, but it would take her minutes to break free.

Princess Celestia raised a hoof to quiet both mares, "I'm very sorry to have disturbed both of you. It was not my intention to interrupt anything; I merely observed that Luna's light was on and her balcony doors open, and thought that she wished to talk with me.

"Please forgive my intrusion. I am, however, very happy for the both of you and would like to congratulate you both over breakfast tomorrow morning, if you would care to join me."

With that, Celestia turned to leave. Seeing Luna's struggles, Twilight quickly grasped the bandages with her magic and started unwrapping Luna. Frustrated with the speed, Luna simply teleported off the bed, leaving the bandages and orange behind. The orange made a mad leap towards the princess of the night, but was captured by Twilight's magic before it could cause further problems. Luna called out to Celestia and made to follow her, leaving Twilight holding the orange, feeling embarrassed and alone. She didn't want to think that she had disappointed Princess Celestia, but despite her mentor's kind words, she thought that she had.

Morosely, she started tidying up after their games, putting away her toys and rolling back up the bandages. Luna was quick to return, but the mood was ruined and Twilight rejected Luna's half-hearted advances. Wordlessly, the two cleared up the last of the mess and settled down to sleep.

-------------

It was raining, the sky thick with clouds. Twilight's coat was sodden, her mane bedraggled and stuck to her neck. She was lying on the grass on the top of a hill, overlooking a summer meadow, blanketed with flowers and grasses, but the scene gave her no joy.

A dull ache in her side confused her, and she tried to remember where it had come from, until she remembered Luna and realised that she was dreaming. Still feeling apathetic, Twilight lay there, letting herself be rained upon. Her memories were distant and faint, but the rain suited her mood.

That was where Luna found her, after she finally fell asleep. Luna joined her on the hill, shielding most of her body from the rain with a great wing. She toyed with the idea of dismissing the rain, but decided against it. Experience taught her that dream weather could be a useful indicator of the dreamer's mood.

"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked softly.

"No thanks," whispered Twilight.

Luna snuggled to Twilight's side for a while, trying to keep her dry and warm, and feeling rather helpless. Immortals are nothing if not patient, however, so she waited. After a while Twilight shifted slightly closer to Luna. A little later she shifted a leg to bring it under Luna’s wing. Eventually, she sighed and turned her head to look at Luna.

"Luna, you mean a great deal to me. You're beautiful and elegant and powerful and mysterious and wonderful and wise and it makes me dizzy sometimes to think that you might be mine. But Princess Celestia, she practically raised me, taught me everything, was always there for me when I needed her: she means the world to me. I owe her everything and the most important thing to me for most of my life was to impress her, to make her happy, make her proud; to try to earn some small portion of everything she gave to me," Twilight’s voice was rising in volume, "And then she walked through those balcony doors and saw me with my head between your legs wearing a 'naughty nurse' costume!" the last few words were delivered in a shout and dripping with self-contempt.

Luna kissed Twilight’s tears gently, "Twilight, I've known my sister for far longer than you. She can be manipulative, she can let you deceive yourself, she can hide her feelings far better than I can, but one thing I have learned about her is that she will not, she cannot, lie. She said that she was happy for both of us.

"Dearest Twilight, my sister loves you. She understands what it is like to to have needs. She knows ponies like to have fun. She wants you to have a full life. You locking yourself into her library and never kissing another pony is what would disappoint her."

Twilight was silent, but the rain clouds above started to lighten.

"What else is bothering you, Twilight?"

Again, the answer was slow in coming and when it did it was in a whisper, "Feel so stupid..."

"Mmm?"

"I feel stupid. I had this whole night planned out. I spent ages enchanting the bandages, the oranges, making a humorously-sized thermometer... Then the night is over before it really started and I feel really let down. And it's so stupid that I'm reacting so strongly to being let down because you must have felt just this way when I messed up your plans with my reload spell."

"Uh, oranges? As in more than one?"

"I made some smaller ones as well. They, um, they vibrated."

"And a humorously-sized thermometer? I'm suddenly rather grateful to Tia for the rescue," laughed Luna. Her smile faded when she saw Twilight's face.

"You didn't enjoy it then?" asked Twilight, stricken.

"I enjoyed it, but I must admit that I thought that was almost it. Teasing, release, I would please you in thanks for your wonderful treatment and then we would sleep. I'm not sure I would enjoy hours of such treatment."

"I thought you would like it," said Twilight despondently.

Luna noted with alarm that the clouds were darkening again and the rain was getting colder, harder.

"Twilight, I like you. Not the toys, not the teasing. Being with you. Making you happy."

"But that's not everything. It can't be. What do you really- No, no. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm pushing again. Stupid Twilight."

"You are NOT stupid, Twilight. It is I who should be sorry. I... I do not wish to talk about this. It is, it is not appropriate."

"Okay," said Twilight in a small voice, with teary eyes.

After a pause Luna spoke as if to the wind, in a level voice, "The world doesn't feel real to me at times. There is very little that can hurt me, even less that can kill me. Ponies don't touch me. They don't talk back, they just obey. I have my sister, but we barely see each other as I am of the night as she is of the day.

"I became distant. Cold. Like my moon. I was desperate for some warmth and you gave it to me. You hold me close and I need that. I need something to balance the fear and the worship. You anchor me to Equestria, let me see ponies as beings rather than an array of multi-coloured toys."

The rain was letting up, the winds dying down.

"So you want me to disrespect you?"

Luna laughed tiredly, "I want to do whatever it takes to make you happy. But sometimes I think what I need is for somepony to make sure that I don't always get what I want, or at least not straight away. To treat me like any other pony.

"So, um, if you occasionally find yourself wanting a princess to kneel before you and kiss your hooves, ah, I may be able to accommodate you. You may, um, use me for your pleasure, every now and then."

"So the bandages, the orange..."

The clouds above were parting, allowing sun beams to fall upon the meadow.

"Made me feel slightly helpless, yes. They were commendably strong."

"And if Princess Celestia hadn't interrupted us and I had tormented you for hours..."

"Then if my willpower held out, and I did not break you bandages in a lust-fuelled frenzy, then yes..."

"So you did enjoy it!"

"Um, yes. Thank you."

Luna kissed Twilight. The clouds were gone now, and a brilliant rainbow had formed in the distance. Luna would have preferred kissing Twilight under moonlight, but she was willing to make concessions for her lover and a rainbow would do, for now.

They might have stayed joined in a kiss for some time if they weren't disturbed by a squawk and a thud behind them. They both turned in alarm to find a grey-coated, blonde-maned pegasus mare lifting herself up off of the ground.

"Uh, sorry about that," said the mare, "I can get between dreams just fine, but I kinda mess up the landings sometimes," her eyes seemed to be taking a while to focus on the couple, "Oh! Hello Twilight. Are you having a nightmare about Princess Luna kissing you? That's a strange nightmare, but maybe I can help."

Twilight was staring at the mare, trying to understand what she was doing in her dream, so Luna stepped forward.

"Hello Ditzy Doo. I am not a nightmare, I am real."

"Oh! Hello Princess Luna. I'm sorry. You are not having a nightmare about kissing Twilight Sparkle then? Because that would be a really strange nightmare. I don't know if I could help with that one if you were."

Twilight shook herself, "Hello Derpy. Yes, I'm real too. I was having a bad dream and Luna, uh, Princess Luna came to help me."

"Oh! You can help people with their nightmares by kissing them? Nopony's shown me that technique yet. Must be part of the advanced stuff."

"It was relevant to the dream," said Luna, "Since you mainly help foals, please don't try yourself."

"Oh! Okay," said Derpy.

There was a brief, uncomfortable silence.

"So Derpy, I didn't know you were a dream walker," said Twilight.

"Yup. Have been for ages and ages. Haven't you seen my cutie mark?"

Twilight stared for the umpteenth time at Derpy's cutie mark, and suddenly she recognised it for what it was - a series of dream bubbles in a rising plume.

"Anyway, I'd better go, I think the boss has this one under control. Bye Twilight, bye boss!"

Twilight watched Derpy fly away and into the dreamscape.

"Ditzy Doo is a credit to the dream walkers. As I said before, we welcome those with courage and kindness, and she has a great deal of both. She is also very good with foals."

Twilight sighed with mild frustration.

"Hmm?" queried Luna.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking that even here in dreams, we're still being interrupted."

Luna laughed.

"Since we're talking about our relationship," started Twilight, in an appallingly bad segue.

"Yes..."

"I am a little worried about the amount of time you're spending with me. It's very flattering, but I'm worried that I might be causing you to, um, neglect, your duties?"

Luna laughed.

"Never fear, dearest Twilight, all is under control. In truth, I do not yet hold equal burden to my sister. Night court is busy enough handling civil disputes, but it goes more smoothly if I am there but one day in a week. My ponies know their work well and the petitioners are still intimidated by my presence. My other duties consist of arranging the heavens, which I do not neglect, and the stewardship of the dreaming.

"The dreaming was overgrown with weeds when I returned to it, but after long and arduous labour my garden is again growing beautifully and we have dream walkers enough to protect the dreamers and maintain it without my constant intervention."

“That’s a relief, thank you.”

"And on the topic of one's duties, how does your library fare?"

"Aheh, I'm sure that Spike has it all under control. I'll owe him a big thank you for keeping it running whilst I'm here in Canterlot, but giving him a handful of gems and a day off is usually enough to keep him happy."

With the rain gone, the breeze was bringing the smell of summer flowers from the meadow wafting over the hill. Twilight took a deep breath and sighed.

“Mmm, that smells delicious. Shall we?”

Luna and Twilight trotted down to the meadow, Twilight’s cares forgotten.
