Canterlot University: perhaps the most esteemed educational institute in all of Equestria. Founded half a century ago by Spiffy Saddle, father of Canterlot's very own Fancy Pants, these grounds provided the necessary seasoning to shape some of the most successful ponies in the nation. Most of the ponies attending strove to earn their degree in business in order to become prosperous entrepreneurs. Others spent their years in the school’s prestigious arts program, studying music or even art history. Sapphire Shores herself had earned her degree in musical arts after studying for four years, ans soared to stardom when she signed on with a record label shortly after graduation.
Inside a section of the music building, the door of a classroom opened before a swarm of tired ponies spilled out into the empty hallway. A unicorn with a beige colored coat stepped out of the crowd, using her magic to open her knapsack and levitate a small mirror in front of her. She used her left hoof to move a few strands of her pink mane in place, tucking it neatly in place next to the white highlight above her left eye. In her mirror, she noticed the reflection of a vanilla pegasus with brown hair. The pegasus had just left the classroom, and was trotting down the hall rather quickly, away from the large bustle of students. She turned towards the mare and did her best to keep up with her.
“Hey Rella, wait up!” The unicorn called to her.
The pegasus's ears perked up as she turned towards the voice that had called her name. Rella's eyes were still a bit wide as she looked at the unicorn. “Um... hi, Lexxi?” she asked, forcing a smile and slowing her pace just slightly.
“Hey, you remembered my name!” The unicorn remarked as she trotted beside her. “I thought you said names weren't your strong point?”she said in a playful tone.
“They aren't, but it's pretty easy to remember you.” Rella stated flatly. “Is there something I can help you with?”
“No, but maybe there's something I can help you with,” Lexxi replied. “Have you picked a partner for the final?”
Rella froze in her tracks, “What? The final exam in our class is a group assignment?” she asked fearfully.
“M hm, that's what the professor said,”
“When did she say that?”
Lexxi tilted her chin up slightly as she searched her memory, “I think she mentioned it the first week of class? Don’t you remember?”
“I don't even remember half the things I did yesterday!” Rella groaned, “Ugh, this is so not fair. Why can't she just have a normal final, like NORMAL professors?”
“Rella, come on, settle down,” Lexxi offered, putting a hoof on the shoulder of the flustered pegasus. Rella's pupil's shrank and her left eye twitched from the unwarranted contact, “It's pretty obvious that you don't feel comfortable working with other ponies. You've pretty much dodged every group assignment the professor has assigned up to this point, or just outright refused to do it. You'll be lucky if you make a C in this class the way you're going.”
Rella glared at the hoof still resting on her shoulder, then directed her attention to Lexxi who smiled cheerfully. She studied the unicorn's face, and the look of genuine goodwill calmed her nerves a bit.
“Got it. Great, now I need to find a partner before the exam next week, but we don't have any more classes until then. I don't know how to reach any of the other students, what am I gonna do!?”she exclaimed, lifting her left hoof off the ground pleadingly.
“Hm, sounds like you're in a pickle,” Lexxi playfully chided her, “If only there was a student in the class who was still here that didn't have a partner already that you could ask for help,” Lexxi rocked back and forth on her hooves, scanning the ceiling as she whistled innocently.
Rella could guess what the unicorn was playing at. She may not have had the best social skills, but for somepony who hardly talked to others, Rella was pretty good at reading the mannerisms of her peers. Rella took a deep frustrated breath through her nostrils before she spoke. “Lexxi?”
“Yeeeeees?” Lexxi replied, turning her gaze back down towards Rella.
“Do you, uh... have a partner for the assignment yet?”
Lexxi uttered an exaggerated gasp, “Come to think of it, I don't! I was waiting for somepony to ask me, but nopony ever did!”
That was a lie; Lexxi was a pioneer in social connections. Even though Rella didn't know her very well, she knew enough that the unicorn knew most everypony on campus, and that everypony knew her. She was one of the hardest working unicorns on the premises, and she had the grade point average to back it up. Rella couldn't think of a reason most ponies wouldn't be climbing over themselves to talk to her.
“Would you... hrm...” Rella let out a frustrated grumble as she spoke.
“Come on, say it,” Lexxi encouraged her.
“Can... can I be your partner?” Rella asked, her right wing instinctively moving up over her face.
“Sure!” Lexxi replied energetically, “I think we could do a really good job together!”
Rella lowered her wing, looking over the white feathers at the unicorn in front of her. Even though she figured Lexxi was pushing her to ask her that very question, the answer still surprised her. What was she aiming for? Rella was the definition of an outsider; she never lingered around campus for more than her scheduled classes, she didn’t have any extracurricular activities, and she wasn't really interested in making any friends on campus. What could Lexxi possibly gain from working with her?
“Tell you what,” Lexxi continued, “Why don't you drop by my dorm room tonight after sundown? Bring your text book along so we can go over some of the exercises together. We'll make it fun, I promise!”
Rella tucked her wing back to her side, still wearing a look of reluctance on her face as the unicorn hovered a pen over a piece of paper, writing down her room number and then tucking it in between Rella's right wing. “See you then!”
Rella was about to argue that she wanted to make it tomorrow night, mostly because she wanted a day to gear herself up. Before she could utter a word, the unicorn scampered off, leaving Rella with a dumbfounded look on her face.
Lexxi pushed her way through a set of double doors leading into a tall building. The interior was cramped, a small space for a desk with a waiting room on one side and an elevator on the other. The unicorn trotted up to the front desk and exchanged pleasantries with the pony sitting there, signing her name on the clipboard before receiving permission to use the elevator. Trotting inside the car, she tapped the number five button, the top floor of the building.
Lexxi stepped out of the doors, and into a room with various records and newspaper clippings decorating the walls, an upbeat pop song playing through the loudspeakers. She looked through a clear window into a small recording room, where a blue maned unicorn sat in front of a hanging microphone. The unicorn tilted her head up and smiled as she noticed Lexxi, lifting her hoof up and signaling her to stay outside just a moment. Her horn conjured a small blue aura around the dials on her keyboard, making the playing song fade before she spoke into her microphone.
“And that was Jitter Junebug's 'Skydiving Into My Heart' a new single that she and her band are going to be playing in a show that will be held in the Canterlot Roller Rink this Saturday,” The unicorn's voice sounded over the speakers in the room, “Once again this is DJ Pon-3 hosting H-U-G-Z, Canterlot University's very own campus produced radio station. I'll be signing off for today, but don't you fret ponfriends, I'll be kicking the afternoon off same time same channel right at the crack of noon on the 'morrow. Y'all keep it crazy now,”
The unicorn waved Lexxi to join her in the room. Her magic pressed a button to take her voice off the air and another to activate the sound byte that served as the closer for her show. Lexxi quickly trot inside and bumped hooves with the dj. “Hey Lexxi, thanks for stopping by”
“Hi Vinyl!” the unicorn replied enthusiastically
Vinyl heaved a soft sigh as she leaned back and looked about the studio “You know, I’m really going to miss this place” she uttered fondly.
“When did you say your last show was?”
“ Next week, end of the semester” Vinyl Scratch explained “It's too bad, I was just getting used to this place. It was really nice of the university to give me this gig to earn some steady cash for a while. Now I can add teaching to my resume,”
“The students are really going to miss hearing you on the air. I know I will.”
“Yeah, but I gotta hit the road and get back to the club scene. I might come back later on down the road.”
“That would be nice. So, you said you had some stuff you wanted me to record?”
“Yeah! Let me get the scripts for ya,” Vinyl hopped from her chair and moved towards her bag, magically unzipping it and pulling a small stack of papers out “There’s not a whole lot, just a few commercials for the school and a few local businesses”
“I don't mind a light workload; I actually have plans with somepony later tonight, so I'd like to get home early”
“Cool” Vinyl said, moving the scripts over to Lexxi, who caught them with her own magic. Lexxi positioned herself in front of the microphone Vinyl was using earlier, as the DJ stood in front of the keyboard. “Whenever you're ready”
Lexxi scanned the script for a moment, then nodded towards Vinyl and took a breath. Vinyl Scratch pressed a button, activating the recorder that would capture Lexxi's voice. The unicorn at the mic began to read, her voice ringing with depth and clarity.
“As the years pass, Equestria's demands for high productivity have created monsters in the form of large corporation chain-marts. These big businesses that favor large output over quality have put a strain on the nation, and are unintentionally stamping out any chances for independent business owners, businesses run by the neighbors you've grown up with, and use traditional means to produce the highest quality goods for their customers. Honeybunch Bakery still retains that old fashioned homemade taste in every warm, crisp bite. Support local businesses. Support Honeybunch Bakery” The recording light went off, and Lexxi let out a breath.
“Very good,” Vinyl complimented her, the cassette tape hovering out of the machine and into a collection of other commercial tapes. She replaced the empty slot with another tape, while Lexxi switched her papers around and moved to the next script. Fifteen minutes passed, and Lexxi reached the end of her assignments.
“And you're done. Good job!” Vinyl heartily praised her. “You should probably start hearing your voice on the air by the start of next week. Pretty cool huh?”
Lexxi grinned excitedly “You have no idea how excited I am!”
“I have a little idea. I remember what it's like to struggle to get your name out there. Music is a tough business,” Vinyl reminisced as she packed some of her things into her knapsack, and walked towards the door.
The two unicorns walked out the door and towards the elevator together. “So, what's his name?”
“Hm?”
“You said you had plans tonight. Is it another stallion?”
“Oh! Rella. She's a mare actually”.
“Nice,” Vinyl said with a playful sneer.
“Wait, no not like that!” Lexxi replied frantically, as the elevator dinged and Vinyl stepped on, Lexxi following “We're just studying together!”
“Right, 'studying'” Vinyl teased. A bit of silence between the two, and the smile Vinyl was wearing dropped “Oh wait, you're serious?”
“Yes! I'm not really attracted to mares like that,”
“Oh, whoops. My bad. I'm just so used to the club scene,” the elevator doors opened to the bottom floor and the two unicorns stepped out “The girls I hang out with, they don't care what you're packing, as long as you're packing something good,”
Lexxi forced a nervous smile at Vinyl’s explanation. Her brow furrowed and her eyes darted from side to side, feeling awkward due to Vinyl’s rambling.
“I guess I'm not helping. Go study hard with your friend, okay?”
“Alright, thanks Vinyl. I'll come by and see you next week before you leave.”
“Yup. Ciao!” Vinyl Scratch levitated a pair of large headphones to her ears, an audible thump sounding from the large circular devices. Lexxi waved at her before trotting the opposite direction, towards her campus dorm room.
With her boombox playing inside the bedroom of 304C on the mares side of the dorm rooms, Lexxi nodded her head in sync with the music, her mane bouncing with each movement. She kept her head still as the instrumental began to wind down, her lips in front of a small microphone as she sang.
Raindrops, sunshine
Happiness is on my mind
Pour another drink for me
I'm having such a good time
My troubles they are far away
The party's on, it's time to play
No worries here my friends
Put your hooves up and say:
The front door’s buzzer rang before she could finish the next stanza of her song. Lexxi tapped the top of her speaker box to switch it off, and jumped from her bed, prancing towards the front. When she opened the door, she was surprised to see nopony there, until she poked her head out and looked to the side to see a short brown tail swinging away from her. “Hey, right here Rella!” she called out to pegasus walking away.
The white pegasus looked over her knapsack slung to her side. “Oh hey, there you are,” Rella replied, “I figured maybe you forgot about tonight and left, or something,”
Lexxi's face twisted as she puzzled over her statement, “Geez, you're not a very patient pony, are you?” Rella winced a bit as she searched for the right words, “Don't answer that; come on in, silly.” Lexxi beckoned her.
Rella stepped into the dorm room uneasily, her head hunched over as she took in her surroundings. She had never actually been in another mare's dorm before, but it was built exactly like her own. She followed Lexxi's bouncing pink tail into her bedroom, where the unicorn jumped up and resumed her earlier position in front of her recording equipment.
“I thought I heard music when I was in front of your door,” Rella commented, as Lexxi's magic opened the recorder and levitated the tape out, “That wasn't you, was it?”
“Sure was!” she responded, “My roommate's gone for the weekend, so I decided to catch up on some singing practice. It's easier to do it here instead of look for a recording booth on campus.”
“I couldn't really hear it through the door, but what little I could hear sounded pretty good.”
“Aw, thank you!” Lexxi beamed as she slid another tape into the machine, “Well, since she's gone, that means you and I can be as loud as we want...” she said, shooting Rella a mischievous glare. The pegasus's eyes shifted uneasily from side to side as her mouth twisted in confusion. “Oh come on, I set you up for that!”
Rella looked down as she pondered for a moment, “...Oh! Lewd, ha ha, very funny,” she replied with a nervous smile.
Lexxi sighed through her nostrils as she shook her head, “Come here,” she said, tapping the empty space on her bed. Rella stepped forward, lifting her bag up on the mattress before she pulled herself up, sitting next to Lexxi with her back upright, “Relly, is there ever a moment when you're not tense?”
“Sorry,” she replied, looking away from her, “It's been a while since I've been invited to somepony's home.”
“Well, if you and I are going to get anything done tonight, you need to learn how to let that tension go,” Lexxi pulled herself up and towards Rella, sitting up behind her and extending her hooves to the mare's shoulders. Rella's shoulders rose up towards her head when she felt Lexxi's hooves, “I'm not going to do anything weird, I'm just going to give you a massage, okay? I promise,”
“I... don't like being touched by somepony I don't know,” Rella explained.
“Fair enough,” Lexxi shrugged, rolling on her side with her legs crossed, “So, let's get to know each other a little bit: how did you get to Canterlot U?”
“Long story; basically, I got tired of where I was, threw it all away and made my way up here with a friend.”
“Where did you live before?”
“Dodge Junction,”
“Ooh, isn't that the place with the buffalo herds?”
“No, that would be Appleoosa,” Rella said in a huff.
“What's in Dodge Junction then?”
“Aside from an old cherry factory, absolutely nothing. Do me a favor: don't ever go there.” She related to Lexxi, aher voice carrying a bitter sting as she spoke. “There's a reason they built a liquor store last year. Ponies are so bored, they have to drink to forget how miserable they are,”
“Wow... ” Lexxi's teeth clenched uncomfortably as she averted her eyes from Rella.
“Sorry.” Rella offered apologetically. “I'm not really good at conversation,”
“It's okay. I have a brother who's the same way actually.”
“Really?”
“M hm!” Lexxi levitated a small portrait of her family from her dresser to her bed, letting it hover between them. She pointed a hoof to a younger version of herself, standing at the hooves of her parents, next to a colt a few hooves shorter than her, “That's him. He's a really sweet colt, and he's smart as a whip. But he really struggles with social cues that other ponies find commonplace. And he also freaks out over trivial things. I remember once when we were playing with his toys, he realized there was a piece missing from his favorite action figure, and he spent the next hour growling while he turned his room upside down looking for it.”
“Wow... and here I thought I was the only kid like that,” Rella muttered, running a hoof across her opposite foreleg.
“But it doesn't stop him from doing great things. He did really well in school once they figured out how to accommodate him, and he even got his cutie mark when he- oh!” Lexxi stopped herself when she saw Rella's short brown tail instinctively swish over the side of her blank flank. “Sorry, I didn't mean-”
“It's okay,” Rella reassured her with a half-smile, “Anyway, uh...” Rella scanned the room for anything to initiate some conversation. Her eyes landed on a poster of four ponies with spiky manes riding a wooly mammoth. “Hey, isn't that from System of a Pony?”
Lexxi's face brightened a little bit, “Yeah, you listen to them?”
“Sometimes. I haven't heard any of their new stuff, but I remember when they first came out. They're pretty fun to listen to. My tail is much bigger than yours!” Rella sang out in a soft voice.
“My tail can walk right through the door!” Lexxi played off of Rella excitedly.
“With the feeling so pure,”
“It's got you screaming back for more!”
The two of them laughed heartily, “So, you listen to a lot of metal?” Rella asked.
“That's actually about as much rock as I can listen to. Everything else is blues or dance music. What about you?”
“It varies; I like hard rock, but I grew up listening to a lot of pop songs, you know, stuff like Sugar Mane.”
“Who?”
“Seriously, you don't know Sugar Mane?”
Lexxi shook her head, before Rella suddenly began to sing.
“I just wanna fly; put your hooves around me baby, put your hooves around- nothing? Alright fine,”
“Why'd you stop singing?” Lexxi asked disappointingly.
“Uh, because you didn't recognize the song?”
“Aw, but I was enjoying listening to you,”
“Yeah right,” Rella said unenthusiastically “ I have an awful voice,”
“No you don't!” the unicorn protested earnestly, “It's really pretty. It could use some discipline, but I like what I hear.”
Rella averted her eyes from Lexxi, an embarrassed smirk forming on her face, “Well, it's nowhere near as pretty as yours.”
“Oh please, you couldn't have heard me that well through the door.”
“I've heard you once or twice, when you were recording in the sound booths on campus. I honestly thought somepony had the radio on too loudly until I looked in and saw you singing.”
“Oh my gosh, why didn't you say anything when you saw me?”
Rella shrugged, “You were busy? I feel nervous about talking to ponies I don't know that well,”
Lexxi wore a disappointed frown, “Rella, I'm gonna need you to work on not staying so distant from other ponies. I know you feel safer staying bottled up, but you're doing yourself a disservice in the long run,” Lexxi extended a foreleg and touched the tip of her hoof against Rella's, “No more feeling too nervous to talk to me, okay?”
Rella looked down at the unicorn touching her hoof and smiled warmly at her, “Okay,” she replied softly.
Lexxi beamed up at her new friend, “What do you say? Think you can trust me enough to rub your shoulders for you?”
Rella's eyes tilted upwards as she inhaled deeply, “Ah... alright, sure,”
Lexxi pushed herself up and carefully walked around behind Rella, the mattress jostling underneath her hooves with each step. With Rella still sitting upright, Lexxi rested her own hindlegs on either side of the pgasus's rear, with her forelegs resting on her shoulders. Rella naturally twitched from the contact, but willed herself to settle down. Lexxi began to push gently into the sides of Rella's neck, working her hooves in small rhythmic circles. A satisfied rumble came from Rella's chest as her coat was tended to,
“Mm... you're pretty good at this,” She murmured blissfully, her shoulders finally relaxing on their own.
Lexxi giggled at the mare's satisfaction, “See what happens when you put some trust in other ponies?” she stated, moving her hooves downwards across her shoulders.
“M-hm...” Rella rolled her neck around as she was rubbed, “Your hooves are so soft...” Rella's lower body began to slowly move forward against the mattress, pushing her hips downwards before she pulled back. Soft, gratified sighs escaped the mares lips as Lexxi's hooves moved down her body. When her hooves reached the middle of Rella's back, Lexxi noticed that her white wings had begun to twitch, slightly. Lexxi snorted a bit, trying desperately to keep herself from laughing as she watched them expand to either side.
“Huh... oh!” Rella rocked forward and rolled off of the bed, her wings still folded in, but standing upright off of her back “Sorry! I-I don't know what happened, I just- I don't know. I should go-!”
“Rella please don't go,” Lexxi pleaded as the pegasus turned away from her, the base of her brown tail twitching slightly. “It's not a big deal, it just happens sometimes. Its just your body responding to something that feels nice. I promise I'm not bothered. Please trust me?”
Rella took a breath through winced teeth, her shoulders raising up a bit as her wings began to settle, “Okay...” she uttered, turning back to face Lexxi, “Well, maybe we should start studying for the exam? That's the whole reason I'm here, right?” Lexxi nodded sweetly. Rella was about to step up onto the mattress again, but stopped in her tracks, “Actually, can I use your restroom?”
“Oh, yeah, it's across the hall.”
“Thanks. My book is in the bag if you want to get that out,” Rella said before she stepped out of her bedroom.
Lexxi shook her head before opening the bag and levitating the book out with her magic. Her face twisted as she looked at the tome floating in front of her. This wasn't the textbook for their class. She turned the book to the front and examined the title: Courtship Chronicles. Lexxi noticed there was a bookmark near the end of the book, and opened it to the point where it was stashed. Her eyes skimmed over the text, reading something about a unicorn named Ruby confessing her love to a princess Sapphire. Lexxi smiled gleefully in response to reading such a sweet passage. She had never been one for mushy romance stuff, but she decided to push on, seeing if she could find something else to relate to Rella. As she read further, she noticed that the interaction between was getting more passionate, until Ruby reached her hoof down and touched princess Sapphire's...
Lexxi gasped and quickly shut the book. This wasn't just a romance novel: it was erotica. Lexxi felt her face heat up as she realized that she was reading something very private to Rella. She knew she should put it away and leave it alone, but... her curiosity got the better of her. She wanted to see just how far the two ponies were going to take things. Opening the book again, Lexxi shifted her rear slightly and continued to read, a small and eager grin on her mouth.
The sound of a flushing toilet and her bedroom door opening escaped Lexxi's ears as Rella stepped back into the room. The pegasus looked towards her new friend and saw her reading her book; the book that brought her such joy in the privacy of her own room. A reflection of Rella's innermost desire were laid bare in front of the unicorn she had just learned to trust. Without saying a word, Rella spread her wings and soared towards her bed, snatching up the book and holding it close to her chest, her cheeks burning pink as she glared daggers at the unicorn.
“I'm sorry!” Lexxi exclaimed apologetically, “I didn't know what it was, I just wanted to get to know you better. I should have stopped reading when I figured out what it was, but I was just so interested I wanted to keep reading,” Rella's gaze remained fixed on Lexxi as she pleaded her case, “I understand you're mad Rella, I went through something personal of yours. Please forgive me?”
Rella's gaze softened slightly, her eyes darting back and forth from the book in her clutches and the remorseful unicorn. “You... like it?” she asked hesitantly.
Lexxi nodded, “I've never seen something like that done so well in text before. I usually have to rely on my own imagination,”
Rella nodded her head on reaction, then froze as the words processed through her head “Your imagination? What do you use your imagination for?”
Lexxi smiled hesitantly “Well, you can't expect me to get a stallion in my bed every night of the week, can you?”
Rella's eyes widened as a very explicit image of the unicorn passed through her brain, causing her wings to shudder in response. “Uh... do you want to keep reading it?” Rella asked shyly.
Lexxi raised a hoof to her chin as she contemplated something “Hm... I have a better idea. Why don't you read it?”
“Y-you want me to read this?” Rella asked skiddishly, “To you? Out loud?”
“Sure! You need to practice your vocal projection anyway, don't you? Won't this be better than reading some boring text book?”
“... You've got a point,” Rella admitted reluctantly. Shifting her position, she pulled the book from her chest and cradled it in her hooves, her eyes scanning across the pages. She cleared her throat before she began to read, “'Ruby, this isn't natural,' Princess Sapphire went on, looking upon her student-”
“No no no, I already read that part,” Lexxi interrupted “skip to the part where she was... touching her labia,” she finished, with a bit of a seductive inflection. Rella's jaw clenched as her eyes moved across the pages. She opened her mouth, but her voice was caught in her throat. She swallowed hard, digging her neck into her shoulders before she forced herself to read:
Sapphire felt Ruby's hoof press against her chest and slip down her front, until it danced on the outside of her sensitive labia. "Ah, Ruby!!" the alicorn's voice sang out enthusiastically. "What are you doing? "'You've taken care of me all my life," Ruby answered, drawing her hoof up her princess's chasm. I'm going to be taking care of you on this night."
“Hang on, just a moment” Lexxi interrupted suddenly, “You've got a pretty voice, but something's off. It feels like you're holding back. Let's try something,”
Lexxi reached forward and tilted Rella's chin up. “There, that's to open your windpipe up a little bit. Now, when you read, I want you to try speaking from right here” She moved her hooves across Rella's white tummy, “This is where a lot of the power in your voice comes from, not your chest. If you speak from here, you'll have some more strength in your voice. Okay?”
“Okay...” Rella replied, letting her midsection relax.
“And... try smiling! It'll sound better if you looklike you're enjoying it. Heck, you might start enjoying it too if you let yourself.”
Rella forced herself into a rather large toothy grin.
“Uh, no, not like that. Try with less teeth.”
Rella pushed her lips shut while keeping them fixed in its grinning state,
“Ease it up just a little bit. More like a smirk instead of a smile,”
Rella relaxed the muscles in her mouth, so the corners of her lips were just noticeably upturned
“Good, good. One last thing: try lowering your eyelids a bit, not all the way. Pretend that you're a suave stallion who just saw a mare across the hall that he wants to-”
Before Lexxi could finish, Rella lowered her upper lids, her eyes gazing directly at the unicorn across from her.
“Oh... oh my...”
“Something wrong?” Rella asked, just barely showing her pretty white teeth as she kept her face locked on Lexxi.
“N-nothing... keep reading like that, don't change a thing” she instructed, sitting back as she watched Rella. Clearing her throat, the pegasus continued to read.
Sapphire felt a surge course from her loins and throughout her entire body. She writhed from Ruby's touch as she tilted her head back, slowly letting out a soft and pleasurable moan. Ruby pushed her hoof into the princess's soaking lips, lightly drawing up her crease and applying some pressure against the jewel at the top of her marehood.
“Mmm- ahhh!” Sapphire let out a sudden shriek of pleasure, and her hips began to rock forward in tune with Ruby's stroking. Ruby dropped her head downwards and drew her lips across Sapphire's stomach, kissing her fair coat softly, up towards her chest. Sapphire looked down her form, into the eyes of the pony tending to her body. The hesitation she had been filled with began to leave her body as she gazed upon Ruby, and the unicorn's eyes looking back at her filled her with assurance.
She wanted this. And she wanted Ruby, more than anything in the world. She didn't care what other ponies might say, if they decreed that their love was forbidden: perhaps it was, but what of it? She couldn't imagine a life without her. Sapphire reached down, rubbing underneath Ruby's chin and making the unicorn smile sweetly back at her. Removing her hoof, Ruby began to crawl upwards towards the princess, repositioning her legs on either side of her and sitting lightly on her chest. Wit her own wet lips pressed against her mentor, she began to move her lower body downwards, closer towards Sapphire's flexing wet lips.
Rella heard Lexxi's breathing begin to increase, and glanced up at her as she moved to turn the page. Her structured face lost its composure in an instant, her eyes widening and her mouth hanging open as she saw where Lexxi's right hoof was located. The unicorn was staring intently at Rella, her hoof wedged up between her hindlegs and moving up and down at a very slow and steady rate.
“Hm...? Oh my gosh!” Lexxi exclaimed after looking down, jerking a slightly damp hoof away from her privates and against her chest. “Sorry sorry sorry! I didn't even notice I was doing anything! Sorry!”
“I-It's okay,” Rella stammered, a slight blush forming across her nose, “I guess I uh, just didn't see it... coming...” Rella directed her eyes up towards the ceiling nonchalantly.
Lexxi pondered over what Rella just said to her. Didn't see it coming... coming... “Rella, did you just-?” The pegasus pulled a hoof up to her muzzle as a twisted grin formed on her lips “You're a dork” She said, before the two of them began to laugh wildly. After they settled down, the two mares returned their gaze to one another. Rella had returned to that look on her face, the one that Lexxi had sculpted for her. However now, it seemed genuine instead of artificial. In that moment, the reserved pegasus who hardly uttered a word to anypony had vanished., and been replaced by a mare brimming with confidence. Staring into her eyes, she saw a pony that could woo any stallion or mare that crossed her path, take them home and show them the night of their lives, and leave them begging for more. Lexxi leaned forward, slowly crawling up to Rella until she was a mere inches from her face.
“... Hello there,” Rella said in a deep whisper as she kept her focus on Lexxi. She could detect wafts of jasmine coming from her pink mane as they stared each other down,
“You have the prettiest eyes, Relly” Lexxi said, causing the pegasus to giggle. “Can I... kiss you?” she asked hesitantly.
Rella sunk her head into her shoulders a bit, but still kept her smile glued onto her face “Sure! If you want to,” she said, giggling. Lexxi moved a touch closer, pressing her lips against Rella.
With their eyes closed, the two pursed their mouths, letting the wet underside of their lips make brief contact with each other before Lexxi pulled back and resumed eye contact with the pegasus. She stayed still for mere seconds, before she dove in and passionately mashed her lips against Rella, the force of Lexxi's body pinning her to the bed. The pegasus was caught off guard for a moment, but quickly adapted, opening her mouth and letting her slender tongue mingle against Lexxi's. Rella moved one hoof across Lexxi's back and another against her fluffy pink mane, while Lexxi in turn had her hooves resting against Rella's smooth chest. She broke contact for half a second to catch her breath, then moved in again to lock lips with the mare underneath her. As she kissed Rella, her right hoof began to move downwards, gliding across Rella's barrel until she reached the side of her lower tummy.
“Mmmff!” Rella suddenly pushed her chest up, forcing Lexxi to pull away. The sudden removal of her mouth let a high pitched moan escape Rella's throat, before she quickly shoved her hooves in front of her mouth to keep silent.
“You okay?” Lexxi asked, a touch concerned for her friend.
“Yeah... yeah, I'm great,” Rella explained, her chest rising and falling slightly, “It's just, uh, been a while; I guess my body is a little eager”
An impressed look came over Lexxi's face “You mean you've done this before?”
Rella smiled sheepishly “Not with a mare...”
Lexxi shook her head with a smirk on her mouth as she lay on her side next to her “Relly Relly Relly... there's no telling what you've been up to, is there?” Lexxi drug the tip of her hoof against Rella's waist, moving it downwards towards her inner thigh. Rella took a deep breath, trying to suppress another moan as her brown tail swished between her legs. The hoof began to move towards her center, teasing just underneath her swelling lips and above her tight little anus. Seeing the mare squirm underneath her touch ignited an exquisite tingle in Lexxi's chest, which moved down through her hindlegs and her lower tummy. The mounting pressure pushed the unicorn to wiggle her rump, as her soaking lips began to throb and wink in a slow rhythm. “How badly do you want it, missy?”
“Mmm!” Rella whined, pushing her chest upwards “So badly...”
“And who do you want it from, huh?” she teased, tracing the toe of her hoof around her coat, just outside of her parted lips.
“You...”
Lexxi craned her neck in towards Rella, her mouth a mere inches from her ear “Say my name, you dirty girl”
Rella gasped and tilted her head backwards “Pleeeease, Sexxi-Lexxi”
Lexxi's eyes turned up in her head for a moment as an eager sneer spread across her face “That's right!” she said triumphantly upon hearing the mare's pleading, “But before that... there's something I gotta do” Lexxi pulled her hoof from Rella's loins and rested her forelegs on either side of her, looking down at her from above. “I'm gonna have to mark you as one of mine.”
“Uh...” a frightened look appeared on Rella's face for a moment, before the unicorn dove headfirst into her neck. She pressed her lips against Rella's coat, kissing her more fiercely than she had her mouth just a moment ago. The mare underneath her closed her eyes and smiled, letting out a satisfied sigh through her nostrils. Lexxi then parted her lips, letting her tongue poke out of her mouth and dance across the side of Rella's neck.
“Haahaha, Lexxi! Oh my gosh, that tickles!” Rella squealed as her hindlegs began to kick wildly, and shaking her lower body from side to side. The unicorn then began to move her lips over the moistened spot, gently sucking a bit of Rella's coat into her mouth
“Mmmm....” Rella's mouth hung open from the feel of Lexxi's mouth pulling on her. A few seconds passed, and Lexxi puled her mouth away from Rella's neck, inspecting the area her mouth had just been. It was small, but she could see a slight red mark on the side of the pegasus's neck.
“Ah, very nice” Lexxi whispered as she admired her work “You're mine now, sweetie.”
“Lexxi?” Rella asked as the unicorn began to draw her hoof down Rella's tummy. “Can you... do something for me?”
“Hm... maybe. Depends on what it is.”
“Can you uh... sit on my face?” Rella asked, immediately hiding behind her hooves as soon as the question was uttered.
“Oh my!” Lexxi replied with a bewildered smile “I didn't know you were so kinky, dear.”
“I just really really like... butts” Rella said from behind her hooves
“Uh huh...” Lexxi began to turn over to her other side, so that her back was facing Rella “Do you like my butt in particular?” she asked, draping her tail over Rella's hindleg and pushing her round posterior against her. Rella nodded frantically, looking over her hooves at Lexxi's rear that she was wiggling against her. Lexxi began to giggle “Alright. If you like it so much, I guess I could let you take a closer look.”
Lexxi lifted her hindleg off the bed, slowly climbing backwards and straddling Rella's midsection. Sitting on top of her lower tummy, Lexxi pushed her rear backwards up towards Rella's chest, her soaking pussy dragging and leaving a light wet trail along her white coat. The mounting pressure in Rella's loins forced her to cross her hindlegs as her eyes remained locked on the approaching beige colored rump getting closer to her head. Reaching her chest, Lexxi pushed her pelvis down onto Rella, grinding her pulsing lips against her. Then she leaned her upper body downwards, allowing her tush to lift up off of the pony underneath her. Rella was presented with a full view of Lexxi's rump, round and smooth and surprisingly wide for a pony with such a small waist. The unicorn reached backwards with her right hoof and pulled her plump cheek to the side, exposing her tight little anus to the mare underneath her. Taking in the sound of Rella's slow, lustful panting, Lexxi's marehood flexed open and shut above her swollen clitoris.
Lexxi released her cheek and gave her rear a flirtatious wiggle. She could have spent the entire night teasing her, but she knew that Rella wasn't able to take much more. She'd been so patient with her, and she had done so well letting her shields down and opening up to her; such good behavior deserved a reward.
“Tell me if you need me to get up, okay? Don't want you to suffocate down there” Rella nodded her head frantically, to the point where Lexxi thought it might fly off if she moved any faster. She scooted herself backwards, feeling the bottom of her pussy lips touch Rella's muzzle. She felt a puff of air move past her lips, as the pegasus took a gentle sniff of the aroma emanating from Lexxi's nether regions. She slowly began to move her upper body up, leaning back until she sat upright, and then gently moved downwards
As Lexxi's body descended, Rella's vision of the bedroom began to dissipate. The ceiling, the curtains, and the walls covered with posters were all phased out as her vision was overcome by the sight of two light colored globes getting closer to her face. She felt the weight press down on her mouth, her nostrils now being her only source of oxygen. While her breathing was slightly restricted, Rela was by no means in any distress. The sight of two meaty buns overcoming the bottom of her eyesight, with just a bit of Lexxi's lower back visible, ignited a salacious heat within her chest. Her entire body tingled, and her hips pushed forward from the sensation of her throbbing clit, while she pushed her nose forward and took a heavy whiff from between Lexxi's cheeks. Rella felt Lexxi's hole constrict as she breathed against her.
“Oooh, that's really ticklish!” Lexxi giggled, wiggling her butt over Rella's face. The movement jostled the suppressed mare's face, making her whine softly. “Mm, you're really enjoying this, aren't you hon? You like it when I move around on top of you, hmm?” Lexxi straightened her back and repositioned herself on Rella's face, moving backwards just slightly.
With her new seating, Rella's sight was completely overtaken by the darkness of Lexxi's butt shrouding out any light from the room, but now her mouth had a bit more freedom. The smell of Lexxi's arousal made Rella's tongue dance, and she impulsively extended her tongue, brushing it against the unicorn's flaring lips.
Lexxi let out a sudden gasp in response “Aaah!”
“Bad?” Rella asked, a lustful whine caught in her throat.
“No, good! Really good!” Lexxi reassured her “Was that your tongue?” Rella sounded in the affirmative underneath her plump cheeks, “I've never felt somepony's tongue down there before. It's nice” the tone of her voice raised slightly, carrying a very lustful inflection. Lexxi closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip, rocking her hips from side to side, ever so slowly as Rella's tongue danced around her vulva. She could feel that wet protruding force pushing all around her lips, swirling, searching for the right area to stroke, a series of passionate moans emanating from Rella's throat with each lick. Lexxi opened her eyes a moment, looking down and seeing Rella's marehood visibly pulsing from her mounting desire.
“Oh, you poor thing. You've been making me feel so good, I've been completely ignoring your needs. I'm sorry” Lexxi grinned as she lit up her horn. A sparkling pink aura appeared on Rella's belly, circling the mare and moving downwards between her hindlegs, until it overcame her flared lips.
“Ahhh!” Rella moaned out loud underneath Lexxi, losing pace with her tongue. Lexxi's magic tickled against Rella's clit, making her pull her hindlegs in as the pleasure charged through her lower body.
“Ssh!” Lexxi commanded “The neighboring students are gonna hear you!”
Rella forced her mouth shut, a lustful wine still sounding from her throat. "Y-you said we could be loud..." she whimpered.
"I didn't mean that loud! These walls are paper thin!"
With her voice suppressed, Rella extended her tongue once again, dragging it up against Lexxi's folds, still letting out soft passionate moans as she lapped her up. The unicorn in turn resumed her magical aura, applying pressure against Rella's pussy and tracing it up towards her throbbing clit.
“There's a good little mare... do you want me to let you cum?”
“M hm!” Rella whined frantically, with her tongue still tracing Lexxi's folds.
“Okay. No screaming now” Lexxi pulled the rest of her aura up to surround the large nub at the top of Rella's lips, and pushed firmly against it.
“Ahhhhh!” Rella yelped out loud as her hips rocked forward against the magical force “Nnnngh- ahhhh!”
“Oh goodness, you're a loud one” Lexxi quickly forced the majority of her weight down upon Rella's face, mashing her pussy against the mouth underneath her, just as a thin stream of clear fluid ejected out of Rella's pussy. Her mouth pushed against Lexxi's pussy as she let out a suppressed scream. The vibrations of Rella's outcry rocked against Lexxi's clitoris, forcing the mare to throw her head back and up towards the ceiling.
“Ohhhhhh my gosh! Mmmmmm~” Lexxi cried out, before pulling her hooves into her face to keep herself from being too loud. The force of her orgasm swelled in her chest, and she had to quickly roll herself off of Rella to keep the pressure from building to a point she could not control. Rella gasped loudly for air as she was released, and she panted heavily with the back of her head fixed on the bed she lay upon. Lexxi's body shuddered, and she felt a great release between her hindlegs as a sudden warmth spread out within the confines of her lips. Her hindlegs remained clenched up against her, keeping the warm sensation inside of her loins as she rocked through the subsiding waves of her orgasm.
“Oh... whoa... that was... that was awesome.” Still resting on her side, she tilted her head over, looking towards Rella out of her peripheral vision “You okay over there?”
“Hah... hah... yeah...” Rella replied, out of breath but joyful nonetheless.
“Good... I was worried I suffocated you for a moment”
“Not a... phew... wouldn't be a bad way to... go out, honestly”
Lexxi giggled, turning back over and wiggling a bit as a few surprise waves of her orgasm passed through her again. She felt the weight on her bed shift, and assumed Rella was most likely getting up so she could get her things and go back home. Even tough they hadn't studied at all, but she was still glad that she had gotten to know somepony knew, even if it was only for the night. Lexxi felt something brush against her shoulder, and turned over once again. She was surprised to see Rella laying on her side as well, with the tip of her hoof tracing her foreleg. Rella's eyes traced up Lexxi's back until they met her puzzled face. “Oh, you don't like that?” she asked, pulling her hoof away.
“Oh, no, it doesn't feel bad. Just wasn't expecting it.” Lexxi rose a foreleg to rub her shoulder nervously “Just... not used to it. Most stallions collect themselves and leave after they finish.”
“Well... , good thing I'm not 'most stallions' then” Rella winked with a confident smile. An appreciative giggle escaped Lexxi as she turned over on her back and stretched her limbs out. Rella moved her hoof over the top of Lexxi's chest, tracing it slowly downwards to the top of her stomach.
“Haaaah...” Lexxi sighed out in satisfaction as her hindlegs spread open. A bit of her pent up release spilled out and dripped onto the mattress as she squirmed underneath Rella's touch. The pegasus moved her hoof back up towards her chin. The two mares locked eyes once again, before Rella moved in slowly and pressed her lips against Lexxi's mouth. The unicorn pulled her downwards, their chests pressing against one another as their tongues danced inside one another mouths. Their lips broke contact after a few minutes, and Rella moved her head downwards, resting the tip of her muzzle against Lexxi's shoulder.
“I'm sure you're already aware of this,..” Rella sighed as she snuggled up against her neck “But you're such a beautiful mare, Lexxi”
Lexxi felt her eyes sting momentarily, most likely from the stuffy air conditioning in her room, and wiped her hoof against her eye “Heh, I know that!” she teased, her voice cracking a moment. She cleared her throat before she continued “But it's nice to hear it every now and then. Thank you Relly” She lightly kissed the top of Rella's mane before resting her cheek against it. She could feel her warm breath beating gently against her neck.
“By the way...” Lexxi whispered above Rella, who turned her head up just slightly “You have a beautiful voice when given the right motivation. We might need to keep this in mind for the day of the final exam” Rella giggled softly before she fell asleep against Lexxi.
No, she certainly wasn't used to her partners staying over after the deed had been done... but she certainly wouldn't mind getting used to it. It was nice to know that there was somepony she could trust sleeping next to her, somepony she knew trusted her in turn.
