Twilight sat in the middle of her castle's library, at a loss. She didn't dare ask Spike to come and help her search, so she had all the catalog cards out, in a pile, sorting through them. "I can't believe I don't have anything on this. Surely there must be some books written about this… pet, thing." 

The door opened and, in her shock, Twilight flapped her wings and sent the catalog cards flying everywhere. Which was exactly what Rarity saw, when she entered the room.

"Darling, what are you doing?" Rarity looked around at the little cards dancing in the air like lazy leaves in autumn. "A library malfunction?" She tried to keep the titter out of her voice, but it broke through regardless.

"No, I am trying to find out more about-" Twilight's voice stopped, her mouth kept moving, groping at the air like a fish. I can't tell Rarity about this, how will I steer the conversation to it without weirding her out? "Well, it is about one of our friends. I found her acting… very… uh…"

"Rainbow Dash." Rarity took note of her friend's blush, of the way Twilight's face showed both relief and terror at the same time. "I heard she had some relations with that rake of a stallion, Thunderlane. Oh my the rumor mill is working overtime. He takes her on walks, even took her to Fluttershy's cottage last week. And here she is now a Wonderbolt."

Twilight blinked a few times, her mind trying to sort the incoming words into coherency. "Wait, takes her for walks? I don't… when I saw her the other day she was acting like…"

"It's pet-play, Twilight." Rarity blinked at her friend as if the hyphenated word explained everything about their behavior. "Now, it is not my thing, but by what I heard it really is Rainbow Dash's. Fluttershy might-"

"Twilight!" Fluttershy herself rushed in the partly open door to the library, and while her shout wasn't loud, it was frantic by the yellow pegasus' standards. "Oh!" She froze at the sight of Rarity. "I-I-I-I'll just come b-back when you aren't busy."

Rarity's blue magic closed the door behind Fluttershy. "Please dear, we all have somepony to talk about."

"B-B-B-But I need to get home and s-see to my animals…" Fluttershy was in a panic, she knew that her friend had probably told everypony in town that she wanted to be a pet and it was all crushing in on her and she couldn't think.

"Are you alright Fluttershy? We have been talking, and the only pony we know Rainbow Dash has spent any amount of time with lately, has been you." Twilight saw her friend—who had seemed to be panicking worse and worse—suddenly lift her head and blink. "Can you help us work out what is going on?"

"Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy stood up, her heart slowing down from the million-beats-per-minute it had been. "Oh, you mean Stripes!" She saw astonishment on both her friends' faces. "She and Thunderlane are just adorable together." The expressions didn't change.

"Fluttershy, that is what we need to find out." Twilight levitated a book up, opened it. "I read here that ponies who are being held against their will can sometime sympathize with their foalnappers. That they sometimes even help them!"

"W-W-What did you see him doing to Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy looked from Rarity to Twilight. "When he dropped her off and picked her up, she seemed… happy. He was nice to her." She looked the Princess square in the eyes. "He was. And then she spent some time with me and I-" She choked off with an EEP.

"What Fluttershy is trying to say, Twilight, is that it is a," Rarity coughed enough to hide a word that sounded like it started with an S, "relationship."

"Huh? Can't either of you just tell me what is going on?" Twilight looked from Fluttershy, who was blushing so much the fur of her cheeks looked orange, and Rarity, who stared at the ceiling as if it were intensely interesting. "Fluttershy!"

"Yes Twilight?" Fluttershy's tone was amazingly hesitant.

"What are they doing?" Twilight tried to use Fluttershy's own stare back on here, with limited effect.

"Rainbow Dash is Thunderlane's pet and she really likes what he is doing to her but won't say because pets cannot talk." Fluttershy stopped, her eyes wide, realizing what she had said.

"Huh? That can't be right." Twilight turned to Rarity. "Is that right?"

Rarity tilted her head down, batting her eyelashes a few times. "I am not familiar with—ahem—that particular arrangement. But I have heard of ponies that do, and I may or may not sell products to-"

"You sell those things?" Fluttershy's full attention was on Rarity. "Do you have collars?" The second question got Rarity and Twilight's attention.

"Fluttershy, you… you like that kind of thing?" Twilight tilted her head. "Wait, I've got an idea. Fluttershy, you could go with Rarity and get dressed up in…" Twilight gulped, "pet attire, and then you could go and sneak in as a new pet for Thunderlane. Once inside, you could totally find out what is going on and then escape!"

No no no no no… maybe? Fluttershy's heart was beating rapid-fire, she knew she was blushing but something held her upright, unable to get up and flee. "Okay."

"Now, I know it will be hard, and seem impossible, but you need to hold firm. This is your best friend, Fluttershy." Twilight was on a roll, she was sure she could convince her friend to help.

"Twilight dear, I believe she said yes." Rarity tried to interrupt the alicorn, to no avail.

"I did, I said I would." Fluttershy looked to Rarity, gave her a hesitant smile.

"But no matter what, you have to help-" Twilight stopped, her brain catching up and replaying the conversation, alerting her to an inconsistency with her expectations. "Oh, great!"

"Come along darling, I will have you absolutely irresistible to any stallion interested in… games." Rarity smiled to Fluttershy and turned for the door.

"Wait, in case something bad happens, just scream, okay? I will put an alarm spell up to listen for a loud scream." Twilight smiled to her friend. "You are so brave, Fluttershy."

The confidence, the promise of support, actually boosted Fluttershy's spirits and she gave Twilight a hesitant smile. "I-I'll find out what is going on, I promise." She turned and followed Rarity outside. "Are… are you sure you have the right things? I could just go and beg him-"

"Fluttershy, do you doubt that I wouldn't have an appropriate outfit for every situation?" Rarity led the way down the stairs and out of the castle. "I might not specialize in such things, but I assure you that I will make him grab your leash and drag you in faster than… are you trembling?"

Shaking her head, Fluttershy exclaimed, "Oh? No!" It was the softest protest imaginable. "It's just, I… I am really nervous, I… I want to help Dash."

The two soon arrived at Carousel Boutique, and Rarity led Fluttershy in and carefully put out the "Frightfully Busy" sign. "Now," Rarity began and trotted over to a special closet that required a key to unlock, "you have to understand, I don't make these things normally, I…" Rarity blushed a little, producing a fan from somewhere with her magic to attempt to remove the heat. "You mustn't tell anypony, Fluttershy." She waited for her friend to give a worried nod. "This is my private collection." Rarity fanned faster and looked aside, waiting for Fluttershy to gasp in shock, to race out and tell the whole town.

"Is that a genuine Master Mare elite collar?" 

Rarity turned and blinked at Fluttershy and her sudden interest in, and knowledge of, high quality collars. "A wonderful eye you have, Fluttershy." Rarity set her fan down and lifted the collar from the rack. "The finest faux leather—of course there is the wonderful machismo of real leather, without the barbarism—with a blank nameplate fastened to it. Delicate quadruple stitching and a perfect fit for a dainty mare's neck." Rarity pulled the collar up and around Fluttershy's neck, carefully fastening the buckle at the rear.

The big full-length mirror to the side soon captured Fluttershy's attention. She stared at her reflection and couldn't stop her wings from rising on her back. "Oh my…"

"That brings up two excellent points, or wings as the case may be." Rarity lifted out two dark black, lace-lined pouches with straps on them. "Not for myself of course, but will not be without the full complement of—ahem—equipment." With a flick of her magic, Rarity lifted the first wing-pouch up and captured Fluttershy's left wing in it.

Feeling her first wing folded, strapped down and trapped, Fluttershy couldn't stop her breathing and heartbeat from quickening. "This… are you sure this is okay?" Fluttershy watched in the mirror, distancing herself from the mare she could see getting bound up. "I mean, what if Master- I mean Thunderlane… what if he takes them?"

Rarity finished fastening the strap-work over Fluttershy's back and under her barrel, ensuring she wouldn't be flying. "Fluttershy, if he does that I send him the bill." Rarity beamed in delight. "Now, how are those? Not too tight?"

"Tighter please?" Fluttershy lifted a hoof to cover her mouth the moment she said it. "Oh, uh, if that is alright." She gave a happy sigh as her friend fastened each strap, one by one, in a notch on their buckles. Testing her wings, fighting their restraints, Fluttershy gave a happy little giggle.

"Now, if I were your master, what would I give you next?" Rarity sat back and looked at Fluttershy. "Oh, of course." She reached up and folded out the second side of the wardrobe door and picked up a bridle.

"Wait." Fluttershy's eyes were locked on what she wanted, what every fiber of her being called for. "T-T-That first." She pointed to the stallion-shaft gag. "I… Thunderlane will expect any p-potential pet to be… be really naughty." She gulped.

Examining Fluttershy's honest-looking expression for nearly three full seconds, and finding it wanting, Rarity knew that something was up. Still, this is a fashion emergency. "Of course!" Rarity built up instant false bravado, the likes of which was trained into anypony who had worked a retail position. Lifting down the big toy, she tried to judge her friend's throat. "I hope you don't have a strong gag reflex." 

Fluttershy was glad she had her wings strapped down, they would have flown up and spread out. Closing her eyes—because she couldn't take the suspense—she opened her mouth wide. The cool rubber touched her lips first, Fluttershy quickly realizing that it was bigger than it looked. Her eyes snapped open and she watched as Rarity's magic pushed the big, black rubber dong further and further into her mouth, shoving her tongue down, pushing to the back of her throat and causing her to gag a little. Fighting to control her urges, she trembled as another half an inch was fed into her before Rarity could start fastening the restraining straps.

"How is that?" Rarity saw an expression of pure bliss on her friend's face. A lot of things quickly added together for Rarity and she gave a happy smile. "You cannot promise it, not with that monster in, but I am going to tell you a little secret, Fluttershy, please don't tell anypony else." Her words had the pegasus' attention. "I like putting that on, some nights, and just relaxing, sucking on the huge thing. Make sure you bring him back, or have Thunderlane pay for it."

Breathing through her nose, Fluttershy turned to look at Rarity. She opened her mouth to reply, but found that to be something denied her. The shaft felt huge in her mouth, and turning her head made her feel it move in the back of her throat. She wanted to yell "yay" at the top of her lungs, and even having that denied to her was bliss.

"You look perfectly serviceable for ravishing right now." Rarity lifted a hoof up and tapped the side of her own snout. "But you are missing something… oh, of course!" Her magic closed around a bundle of straps. "I heard Rainbow has somewhat of a tail problem, but this… this will be wonderful. Stand up straight, now." 

Fluttershy did as told, spreading her legs a little. The blue magic of her friend moved the straps as if they were alive. The thing grabbed on to her croup, a flat triangle shape pressing to the base of her dock. Straps wrapped down and under her belly, fastening tight, while yet more reached back and between her legs. A squeezing sensation pressed in from each side of her puffy sex, the straps tightening and making her arousal plump up more and more.

Rarity had the training straps fastened, but for the important one. "Hold on dear, this is where it gets fun." Rarity looped the last strap under Fluttershy's dock and pulled. Working the faux leather through the buckle for it, she got it tightened three notches before her friend's tail was not only lifted high, it spilled forward, pink tail falling over her body. "Oh my, I almost want to keep you for modeling…" Rarity eyed her friend critically.

Admiring the bound mare in the mirror, Fluttershy heard the front door of the boutique open and close. Snapping her head around she registered shock.

"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity raced forward, using her magic to try throwing a cloth over Fluttershy. "What are you doing back home so early? Wasn't there a school field trip today?"

"What happened to Fluttershy? What was that thing on her tail?" Sweetie tried to look past Rarity, tried to move past her too, but her sister was too quick.

"Oh, oh it was nothing, Sweetie Belle. I was just measuring Fluttershy for a new outfit, those were just the underthings. You mustn't see a mare in her underthings." Rarity was trying to herd her little sister to the stairs.

"But if those are underthings, why was some of it on her face? What sort of underthings go on your face, Rarity?" Sweetie Belle kept trying to peek and get a look, but even the sheet of cloth hid Fluttershy from her view now.

"It is for a… a fancy dress ball!" Rarity had the filly to the door now and pushed her through it. "Now please, let me get this finished and I can explain everything to you."

"Everything." Sweetie Belle looked up at her sister.

Rarity risked a glance back at the bound-up pegasus she had left in her boutique. "Everything. Now please, go upstairs. I will be back… very soon." She closed the door with a sigh. "Okay Fluttershy, this is costing me more of my sanity than I had first thought it would, but I will not leave a friend in the lurch." Trotting over to her friend, Rarity pulled back the cloth and clipped a leash to Fluttershy's collar. "Let us go and find your new… temporary, owner."

The whole situation had seemed surreal to Fluttershy, but now she was all bound up and had somepony leading her around on a leash. If she could have lifted her tail higher, she would have.

Dash yawned and stretched, well, as best she could. She had a hood on, a gag under it, and a spreader bar holding her back-legs wide apart. A shiver ran up her spine at how good it felt to wake up in the bed with Thunderlane, having been used well. Just the thought of her body had one rubber-covered foreleg reaching to pat her still-flat belly. In the darkness of the hood, she slid off the bed and landed on all fours. 

Instinct had her wings reaching out, but with the odd clamps Thunder had fitted to them she couldn't extend them any further. It didn't stop her from trying. Walking forward was immediately proving to be tricky. Rainbow tried to edge her back legs forward and back, but it didn't work so great with the spreader bar on. Ugh, I really gotta go... Then it came to her; taking a quick pair of steps with her forelegs, she gave a hump forward as she bounced her back end into the air.

It worked! She cheered and mentally hoof-pumped into the air. Repeating the motion was strange though, she felt decidedly less great about it by the time she navigated her way, blind, to the back door. Bracing on her spread back-legs, she reached up with a forehoof and opened the door. A few, short humping-jumps later, and she was out on Thunderlane's back yard. Sudden relief came, her body relaxing into a slump, a goofy grin covering her face under the hood.

"Stripes!" 

Rainbow Dash's head jerked up and turned toward the door she had just come through. She knew who it was, of course. Master...

Thunderlane shook his head. "You just peed all over your spreader bar. Bad filly!" He gave her rear a sharp smack with a forehoof. "Ugh, let me get some water to wash you down. Don't move anywhere, Stripes." Trudging inside, Thunder wore a huge grin, the shouting would surely attract some ponies.

"Is… is that Rainbow Dash?"

"Didn't you hear, she got all kinky with Thunder now, look at her!"

"That is disgusting."

"Aww, back off Mayor, just two ponies having some fun!"

"Don't look, Fluttershy."

The last voice grabbed Rainbow's attention. Rarity? She tilted her head, aiming herself this way and that, trying to catch it again. 

"Well, you didn't run off, I guess I am not going to chain you in the town square for free use." Thunderlane lifted a bucket he had filled, tipping it and pouring cold water all down Dash's legs and over the dirty spreader. "Oh, hey Prism." He waved a hoof at one of his friends and fellow weather ponies.

"What you got here? This the new pet we… uh, helped you with?" Prism Glider stood right next to the mare's covered head. "Don't suppose you need more help?"

Rainbow shook her head in sudden worry. She wanted to run, to get away. Master wouldn't just let others use me… not… I have to work with Prism! A weight dropped on her back and she tried to struggle against it. 

"Oh, hey, she isn't bad." 

Dash had heard Prism's voice from above her, just behind her head. He is on me! She felt the heavy shaft of the stallion atop her, poking around her plot. He gave a shove onto her and, with her back-end splayed wide from the spreader bar, she had no hope. Rainbow groaned into her gag as she was filled. Closing her eyes inside the hood, she folded her ears back and gave in to the rutting. 

"Are they really having sex out here? Disgusting!"

"Whoa, look at him go, and Rainbow isn't fighting or struggling… Hey, can I have next?"

She didn't know how much of a crowd had gathered, but Rainbow felt herself blushing more and more. The stallion atop her knew his business, bucking in and pulling back, driving into her and making her have to brace her forelegs. A sudden rush of heat announced his climax, miles ahead of her own. The stallion dismounted and she heard hooves clop away.

"Let that be a lesson to you, Stripes; be a good filly or you become everyponies' filly." Thunder reached over down, unfastened the spreader bar, freeing the mare's back legs to close, but it didn't help the mess running down her legs. "Get your plot inside, you need to clean up."

Rainbow was halfway in the door when she heard one of her friend's voices again. Turning her head, she barely managed to catch Rarity's voice after the first few words.

"… pet and I simply don't need her. I heard that there was a… wonderful owner, who might have room for a second pegasus?" Rarity gave Fluttershy's leash a little tug, leading her forward.

Thunder was more than a little confused, but looked at Fluttershy trying to appraise her. "I was only looking for one pet, but I suppose I could take a look. How is her temperament? Any diseases? What about fleas?"

Fluttershy knew her cheeks were flush with her embarrassment, but it got worse and worse as Thunderlane actually described her as an animal. She gave a little whimper and felt his hoof touch under her jaw. She didn't stop herself, it was a tender touch and she gently nuzzled into his hoof, giving soft little whimpers.

"Affectionate little thing. I already have a pet for hard play, but I think I could afford to have a soft little filly. What's her name?" Thunder looked up at Rarity, ignoring Fluttershy except for the soft rubbing he gave her jaw.

"Oh… uh…" Rarity looked left, right, down, up; inspiration had failed her completely. She looked to her friend then, watched as she nuzzled and rubbed her cheeks against the stallion's hoof. "Oh, Softy!"

"Well, Softy. That naughty pet over there, is Stripes. Do you want to come and live with us?" Thunder, for the first time during their meeting looked into Fluttershy's eyes. "Nod once to me, if you do." He watched the mare start to tremble, shaking like a leaf. "Whoa… you really are a Softy. Relax, calm down. Look at me," he waited for her to stop, waited longer for her to open her eyes and look at him, "just nod for me, Softy."

It felt impossible, Fluttershy could sense the import of giving the gesture. Gulping, her throat working around the big shaft in her mouth, she dipped her snout down, then back up. Oh my, I did it.

"Good filly, yes you are Softy." Thunder lifted both forehooves up, rubbing the mare's cheeks. His heart melted on the spot, watching her face light up with delight and he even heard a suppressed giggle in her throat. "Going to have a chat with Fluttershy later, though; much as I would love to keep you all the time, I know her animals will need to be cared for." 

If it was possible for Fluttershy to fall in love, on the spot, she might have. Her heart thudded in her chest and she pressed her strapped-up snout firmer against the stallion's hooves, giving a few little wuffs of happiness through her nose.

Lifting his head, from dealing with the slightly shorter mare, Thunder looked right at Rarity. "These are her things, or yours?" He ran a hoof possessively over Fluttershy's head, feeling her head bump up against him enthusiastically.

"The… the collar is hers. The rest of the things are mine." Rarity wasn't sure why she just gave an extremely expensive collar to her friend, then she remembered. Reaching down, she rubbed Fluttershy's spine with a hoof. "I will miss her, so please, take the best of care of little Softy."

"I will clean them and return them as soon as I can." Thunder took the leash and turned. "Come on Softy, welcome to your new home." He made sure to tug the leash just enough to pull at Fluttershy's collar, guiding her inside.

Rainbow Dash stood still, in the dark, but she heard two sets of hooves clop into the house, just before the door closed. What is going on? Who is that? She breathed hard, trying to catch a sniff of the other mare. 

"Well, looks like I have two little pegasus pets." Thunderlane reached out and unfastened the hood from Rainbow Dash's head. "Look at your new friend, Stripes. Isn't she beautiful?" He stroked Dash's mane, feeling where the familiar dried seed was. Disrupting her mane made his scent rise a little more from her.

Fluttershy was on too much of a high from giving herself to somepony as a pet to really register that it was Rainbow Dash in the room with her. Working her tongue around the shape gagging her, she looked up at Thunder and gave a little whine.

"Oh, we need to have a little talk." Thunder trotted over to the couch and slumped back, forming a lap with his legs. "Come on Softy, up you come." To his delight both mares trotted to the couch, Fluttershy settling over his lap while Rainbow curled up on the couch beside him. "How does this come off… ah, here it is." He started unbuckling the gag on Fluttershy, loosening the straps but leaving the thing planted in her mouth.

Rainbow looked up as Thunderlane started undoing her gag too. The hefty ball pulled free from behind her teeth, making her jaw feel like it was aching a little. "Bark bark bark." She looked at Thunder directly. "If you do a single thing beyond what she wants I leave, Thunder."

"Have I done a 'single thing' beyond what you want, Rainbow Dash?" Thunderlane petted Fluttershy's mane, from the top of her head all the way to her shoulders. "Alright girls, we need a proper talk, no pets for now." To emphasize the matter, he reached over and pulled the gag from Fluttershy, almost blinking in amazement at how long it was. 

She couldn't stop from coughing a few times, Fluttershy clearing her throat of the thick shaft. "Oh, uh, thank you... Master." She looked up at Thunder and got a rub behind an ear for a reward, it drew a little coo of happiness from her throat.

"So, Stripes and Softy. Let's got over what Stripes gets from this, Softy." Thunder looked to Rainbow, saw her leaning around herself on the couch, just like a dog, licking her back legs and vulva clean. "She is my pet, she doesn't speak, she does what I tell her to. If I feel like bucking, she gets bucked. If I feel like doing something naughty, she gets it. If one of my friends happens to want a good time…" He left it hanging, but noticed Dash's ears twitched at the description. "She gets a safe word, and when she can't speak, a gesture. Games stop when she uses them, and she can tell me how far is too far."

Dash had been working on her flexibility, and loved that she could actually do this. Lapping at her folds, she smiled as something came to her, or rather, had already "came" in her. This isn't what Prism tastes like, this is Thunder! He didn't let Prism buck me. Rainbow's heart fluttered a little, warm arousal growing in her nethers, encouraging more licking. Should a pregnant mare be this horny? Ugh, I hope it doesn't make me slower, that would be… Rainbow couldn't finish her thought, just the idea that she had a foal growing in her, filled her with happiness.

"Softy, what do you want me to do? Do you want to be a roughly played with pet, like Stripes?" Thunder kept petting Fluttershy, rubbing one of her ears until her eyes closed in relaxation, then rubbed them some more.

"You're doing this wrong." Rainbow turned around, licking her lips of her own—and Thunderlane's—taste. "I am your dog. You are rough and play with me a lot. You shove me around, you buck me… although that's not quite right… fact is, I am your dog." Rainbow smiled. "Fluttershy, what animal do you see yourself being?"

One hoof left Fluttershy's back and made her look around at its loss. She smiled a little when she saw Rainbow was getting some petting too now. "I… I want to be a kitty. You pet kitties. They sit on your lap, like this. They like being brushed-"

"That is a hint, Master." Rainbow leaned up and nipped playfully at the hoof petting her, deliberately falling sideways and rolling to her back.

"I got that, thanks Stripes." Thunder rubbed down Rainbow Dash's barrel to her lower belly, and stopped. He saw how the mare had stopped nearly everything as he rubbed there. "Good filly, Stripes. Good filly." He punctuated his words with the gentlest of stroking.

"And… and… I would like to keep my tail up." Fluttershy gave a nod. "Oh, oh and I want to be bound up too." She giggled a little but her eyes went wide. "Master!"

"You are both good fillies. And I think you are right, Stripes, you are my dog. Which means Softy is definitely my cat, by the way she describes herself. But one thing, Softy." Thunder waited until Fluttershy lifted her head lazily, gazed up with nearly-closed eyes from the ear-rubbing. "I am still going to buck you, every bit as hard as I take Stripes. You will just meow three times for me, if you want to stop, and headbutt forward if you are gagged at the time, got it?"

Fluttershy closed her eyes completely, every fiber of her being relaxed. He said he is going to buck me and… I don't think I mind, so long as he treats me like this. She nodded her head, opening her mouth a little to lick at the hoof that strayed down from her ears. 

"Good. Now no more talking pets, it is time to have some fun." Thunder eyed the ball-gag and the huge shaft-gag. "I hate to delay giving Rarity her things back, but this gag is just too amazing. I wonder if she might sell it to me." He lifted the toy and aimed the tip at Dash's snout. "Open up."

Before Rainbow could do more than kiss the tip of the toy, there was a loud knocking at the door. It drew three sets of eyes. "Who-" Thunderlane got no further, didn't even manage to shift Fluttershy off his lap. Princess Twilight Sparkle teleported into the room, wings spread, horn charged with magic.

"I couldn't let my friend go in alone! Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, I am here to rescue…" Twilight had her big speech all ready, it was going to be her moment to shine. She had been eating herself up inside over sending Fluttershy into the "lion's den" and, deeming it her duty as a princess and friend, come to their rescue. What she saw was a stallion sitting on his couch, a hoof rubbing and petting her two friends, who both seemed to be completely enjoying themselves. "Uh… rescue… you?"
> Discovering Oneself
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dash had been through this little test of her devotion already, but she wondered how Fluttershy would fare. Leaning up, she nuzzled and nudged her head at Thunder's hoof to get it moving again.

Fluttershy lifted her head and smiled at her friend. Her mouth was just opening when she felt Thunderlane stroke her mane again. "Hello Twilight." The hoof on her mane stopped dead and she suddenly remembered what he had said just before her friend had showed up. She trembled in worry, until the hoof started to stroke again.

"Good morning, Princess Twilight." Thunderlane felt a twinge of worry. He was prepared to put off Fluttershy's punishment until after the alicorn was gone. "To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" His hooves stroked the manes of both mares on his couch, the weight of Fluttershy oddly comforting to him.

"What have you done to them? Fluttershy, what did you find out?" Twilight glared at Thunderlane and charged her horn with magic.

"Twilight!" Rainbow Dash was quicker than Fluttershy, and certainly quicker than Thunderlane under Fluttershy. "Stop, what are you doing? This is all fun, a game!" She hated having to break from her role, but she wouldn't let the father of her foal get in some kind of trouble, and not when magic was about to be thrown.

Thunder's heart skipped a beat. He watched as Twilight ducked to the side of Rainbow Dash and brought her horn to bear again.

"STOP!" Fluttershy shot to her hooves, standing over Thunderlane. "Twilight, what are you doing?"

Twilight blinked, looking between her two friends defending Thunderlane, then to the stallion himself. "Wait, so he isn't brainwashing you to stay here so he can do… bad things?" She let her magic idle down and wink out. "What is going on?"

"Okay, fight's over, both of you back on the couch." Thunderlane patted the couch beside him, while also trying to sooth Fluttershy with a little ear rubbing. Slowly, the yellow mare folded her legs back up under her and settled over his lap again, but her eyes never left her friend.

"Twilight, don't hurt him, please?" Rainbow Dash didn't care if she was going to be punished late for talking more. "I really like him, he… he showed me something about myself that I can't ignore." She knew she had a silly smile on her face as she walked back and jumped up on the couch. Flopping to her side, she squirmed until she was on her back again, legs spread and nuzzling against Thunder's leg.

"I don't get it. What did you do to them that has them so… so different? They are acting like animals." Twilight walked closer, looking from Fluttershy to Dash, then blushing as she saw how "on display" both were.

"I can show you, if you like?" Thunderlane had to try, he wouldn't forgive himself if he didn't. "I am sure I have another collar around here, something ordinary, but I am sure a princess would need to get something shiny in-"

"No!" Twilight stomped her hoof. "I just want to know what you are doing. Show me and I will leave you alone forever." Her heart was beating faster, though, word of collars—while watching two of her best friends behave like house-pets—was… interesting.

"Nope, collar isn't negotiable. Call me a progressive stallion, but while I am playing with my pets, in my home, all mares wear a collar. However," Thunder lifted one hoof away from tickling Rainbow Dash's chin, "you will not be my pet, but I expect you to follow the few rules I set. So you can stay, but you wear my collar, you do what I say, and if you want to speak you raise your hoof, got it?"

Twilight blinked, she hadn't expected to have terms dictated to her in such an unflinching manner. "And Dash, Shy?" She looked at her friends.

"They cannot talk, exceptions have been made for them, but I will punish them both for it later. It wasn't really their fault, but they knew the rules." Thunder heard Dash give a soft whine, so he dropped his hoof down to tickling her chin again. "So, you can stay and see where this leads, or you can go and read about it."

"I want to be able to take notes." Twilight glared at Thunderlane, her eyes full of fire. "And if I think you have gone too far-"

"Bark bark bark!" Rainbow looked up at her friend, from upside down. "That is my safe word, and Softy's is "meow meow meow," unless you hear us use those, and Thunderlane doesn't stop, you leave him be." The tickling under her chin turned into a more focused rubbing. "I mean it Twilight, I… I need this. I think I love him…" The rubbing stopped, and when Dash looked up she got a pair of lips pressed to hers, for just a moment. This is horrible and fru fru, but it felt nice!

"Wait, barking and meowing?" Twilight looked between Fluttershy and Dash again, her eyes going a little wider at the admission from Rainbow, and the kiss. "What if he gags you?" The moment she had asked, Twilight Sparkle; Princess of Friendship, Bearer of the Element of Magic, blushed.

"I don't think you want to wear a collar at all." Thunderlane stroked further down Dash's body, stroking the fur of her barrel while tickling Fluttershy's ear. "No, but you are going to wear one today, Princess, because today you are going to see the things a pet owner has to do." His smile started to grow wider and wider.

Twilight stared at Thunderlane, she wasn't quite sure what it was, but she knew he saw something in her that she didn't even know was there. "If you let me take notes, and you answer any questions I ask… I'll do it." A tremor ran through her, it was submitting, but it was also gaining control, and something in her really liked the latter. What in Celestia's name am I feeling? This is so strange.

"Get your paper ready, Princess—that is all I am going to call you here, by the way—because your first answer comes now. When-" Thunderlane watched Twilight's horn flicker multiple times, scrolls, books, quills… a small army of writing things swirled around her, "a pet cannot say anything, when her mouth is gagged, when she has a thick hood on, then a gesture is needed. A pet must always be able to stop things." Thunderlane booped Fluttershy on the nose cutely. "If they cannot tell you to stop, it is something I would rather not speak of." He gave Twilight a firm look and saw dawning understanding in her eyes.

"So you listen to what they say? And you stop if they ask?" Twilight was using regular telekinesis to write, but she knew she would have to do better. "And what if Fluttershy told you she wanted nothing to do with you and she wanted to leave?"

Thunderlane drew his hooves up and off both mares, pulling them in to his sides. "Both of you, Softy, Stripes; go if you want, it is up to you." Neither budged, he even felt Rainbow nuzzling his leg. "See? A new collar is downstairs. I think we will be playing down there-" Thunder laughed as Rainbow Dash scrambled and squirmed, rolling to her legs and bouncing around excitedly. "Well, somepony wants to play. Up you get, Softy." He waited, but she didn't shift. "You really are a cat, aren't you? Hop down now." He had to push the giggling mare from his lap, and he couldn't stop a laugh of his own.

"Coming, Princess?" Thunder walked slowly toward the stairs down to the basement, followed by a prancing Fluttershy and preceded by an over-excited Rainbow Dash. He didn't wait to see if Twilight would follow, heading down into the basement and turning the lights on. Rainbow Dash was immediately over at the closet where he had first introduced her to her the ribbon her wings had been bound with. "Good filly, collars are in there." 

Twilight stepped off the bottom step onto the hard floor and her eyes opened wide. "Uh… hang on…" Fumbling with her magic, she combined a levitation spell with an auto-notation one, and set her quill to work beside her. "Okay, what is all of this?" She knew she was blushing, it was obvious what some things were for, but her eyes drifted to some cages, to strap-covered wooden things, and more.

"Princess, I don't have time to play with my pets and tell you everything, so how about you stick to what we are doing? There is no reason this needs to be a once off event." Thunder opened the cabinet, laughed as Rainbow pushed in and started looking through the collars. Thunderlane's jaw almost hit the ground, "Stripes, are you going to pick?"

Rainbow was hard at work, nuzzling around the soft collars until she found what she was looking for. She said, "Bark," and closed her mouth around the one she selected, sitting up proudly and wagging her tail for all it was worth. Teach Twilight to take up Master's time.

"Princess, Stripes has something for you. Good filly, take it over to her." Thunderlane saw the expression of delight on Dash's face as she stood up, tail still wagging, and walked over to Twilight Sparkle. 

Twilight looked down at her friend with the collar in her mouth. "R-R-Rai-"

"Use their proper names down here, Princess. That is Stripes, and this kitten is Softy." Thunder reached a hoof up to pet Fluttershy's mane.

Using her magic, Twilight took hold of the collar, lifting it from Rainbow's open mouth. Then she saw the tag on it. "Slutty Mare?" She glared at Thunder, who shrugged. Then it dawned on her, Rainbow had chosen it. "Is this some kind of Prank?" Rainbow kept grinning up at her, looking like it really was the best prank ever. "Well, nopony else gets to see it, so…" She lifted it up and fastened the collar around her own neck. "Okay, w-"

"Stop, if you speak without raising your hoof, then I will punish you. We had a deal, Princess." Thunderlane watched Twilight Sparkle suddenly snap her mouth shut. "Good, now, raise your hoof, just like you were back in school."

Twilight did so, lifting her forehoof up and feeling like a silly filly again. "So what are you going to use then?" She looked around, eyes falling back to an A frame that looked like something a workpony would use.

"That, Princess, will be partly up to you. Pick two things, any two things in this room, and I will demonstrate their proper use on my pets. I am going to pop upstairs and get a drink." Thunder trotted for the stairs and had both his pets scrabbling to catch up. She is so new to this I can practically taste her curiosity, will she pick what she wants to see, or what she thinks her friends want? He couldn't help strutting. "I have a princess in my basement, with a collar on…"

Rainbow perked up, trotting up and moving in to heel beside Thunder. She could smell how much it worked him up. As soon as he stopped in the kitchen, she leaned under him and licked the prize. Nuzzling and rubbing her cheek against his shaft, she teased it to full hardness in moments.

"We are going to get some more payback on Princess." Thunder leaned one foreleg back and positioned a glass before the head of his shaft. "Softy, come over here and help Stripes." He couldn't hold back a little groan as an enthusiastic Rainbow Dash caught on.

Fluttershy watched for a moment long, as Rainbow Dash nuzzled and licked Thunderlane's shaft. There is nothing wrong with this, Fluttershy, he is your master now, and a nice stallion. She trotted forward, her tail still held high from the strap-work Rarity had fitted, and leaned down. That is big... She trembled a little, but without realizing it she poked her tongue out and touched the warm shaft with the tip. "Oh…" Fluttershy snapped her eyes open and licked again, giggling and getting more into playing.

Dash had to slow a little, she needed to keep him aimed at the glass, and with Fluttershy only licking softly, that meant that Dash kept pushing him off target. Angling her snout under him a little more, she curled her tongue down and up, one eye always making sure his head was aimed true.

Thunderlane wouldn't normally be on quite a hair-trigger, but he had an alicorn princess waiting, and two pegasus mares who were apparently hungry for his taste too, nuzzling him. He groaned and couldn't stop the involuntary buck of his hips. "Goooooddddd fillies…" His body began to buck faster, he trembled and the sound of liquid hitting the glass made him grin more. 

Fluttershy's eyes were wide as the stallion unloaded, she stared at the bulging pony shaft right before her eyes and realized she had just made Thunderlane a happy stallion indeed. Predictably, he started to waver in his hardness and she saw Rainbow's grinning face as the shaft dipped lower. Without warning, Rainbow reached up and angled the flagging shaft, pointing it right at Fluttershy's snout. 

Dash mimed opening her mouth, waited for Fluttershy to do the same, and then fed the softening member to her friend. She gave Shy a few moments to get used to the feel of him before she reached up behind Thunder's legs and massaged his balls.

Jumping a little, feeling himself give another hard spray of seed, Thunderlane turned to see what was going on and couldn't help but grin. "Now here I thought my fillies were being naughty. Teaching her to get a taste for it, Stripes?" He gave his tail a swish. "Don't worry, I will be sinking that into both of you later." He couldn't stop from giving a good buck, spraying again before he shrank too much to stay in Fluttershy's mouth. 

I just gave a pony… I just tasted his... Fluttershy's heart beat fast, but a smile was on her snout. "Yay!" The yell was one of her softest, but a firm smack landed on her plot.

"I don't mind pet noises, and it hurts me a little to have to…" Thunderlane froze as he saw the mare, her tail pinned high in the air. She arched her spine, lifted her plot as if she wanted more. "Well well well, Stripes, we have found Softy's first big kink." He smacked her again, not hard, and rubbed her plot.


Picking up the glass of semen, Thunder walked back toward the stairs and down to meet Princess Twilight.

Dash stared at Fluttershy for a moment, her face showing the surprise she felt. Leaning over, she kissed her friend on the lips, blushing hotly all the while, then turned to follow Thunderlane. She could taste Thunder on her friend's lips, it sparked memories and feelings that had her tingling with warmth. Reaching the bottom of the stairs, she perked her ears at Twilight's voice.

"Oh, thank you." Twilight levitated the glass over. "This… I want to see somepony on this." She pointed at the A frame while taking a long swig from the glass. She froze dead still, lowering the drink slowly.

"If you don't want to finish it, I am sure one of my pets will, Princess." Thunder's smile was a mile wide and he was growing hard again. To his further delight the glaring alicorn upended the glass, drinking the rest. "Oh, good filly, Princess." He laughed when she glared at him more.
> Fighting Nature
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight felt strange. Thunderlane hadn't let her remain an observer, she had been forced to pick the things she wanted to see, and have them demonstrated on her friends. Then he had made me drink his… Twilight closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Stepping forward, she raised her hoof like a filly still in school.

Stroking Fluttershy's mane, nuzzling her back, Thunder noticed the Princess wanting to ask a question. He ignored her for the moment, undoing the straps pinning Fluttershy's tail up, peeling the device off of her. "What is it, Princess?" He kept at his task, removing the bondage on the pegasus one by one until she only wore the collar.

"What does this device do? I hadn't really worked that out." Twilight stepped closer to examine the tail-raising straps. "Does it really just hold her tail up in the air?"

"Would you like to try it?" Thunderlane shot a grin at Twilight. "It not only holds their tail up, giving anypony full access to whatever hole they want, but it also trains the muscles in a pony's dock. Wear a rigid one like this enough and you would find it nearly impossible to keep your tail down."

Fluttershy wasn't experiencing that effect, but her dock did ache a little, her tail sitting a touch higher than normal. She looked at Thunder and smiled widely, leaning in to butt her head into his shoulder, just like a cat. When a hoof found her ear and began rubbing she leaned into him more. 

"I… I would like to borrow that, for scientific reasons of course." Twilight pointed to the strap. The look she got from Thunderlane made her blush hotly. "Really, I would like to see what effects it has on a pony's body." 

"Keep it if you want." Thunder patted at the A frame, encouraging Fluttershy to climb onto it. When she hesitated he gave her plot a quick smack and, flapping her wings in shock, she climbed onto the device. "There you go. Now Princess, these things work so much better on upright creatures, but there are advantages to just binding a pet down so you can do what you want." Thunder reached to Fluttershy's hooves, one by one, fastening them to the bottom of the device, so she was straddling the frame.

"Upright creatures?" Twilight furrowed her brow. "But wouldn't that mean their… I mean, they would be resting on…"

"They would." Thunderlane made sure Fluttershy was fastened before he pulled the little hoof-stands on each side away, leaving her resting all her weight on her belly. "Come around her Princess." He lifted a new strap up and over Fluttershy's neck, tightening it down so it pinned her completely, unable to even look around.

Dash followed Thunder too, as he and Twilight walked around the back-end of Fluttershy. She saw the huge volume of pink tail obscuring "the show" and gave a little whine.

"Hold on, we all get to play in a moment. The positioning of this frame is not haphazard." Thunder reached a hoof up, pulling down what seemed to be an elastic strap with a buckle at the end. Wrapping the strap around Fluttershy's tail, he fastened it and let go. 

"Oh, it jerks her tail-" Twilight was caught by a sharp smack on her plot. She blushed and slowly raised a forehoof.

"You may ask a question." Thunderlane set the paddle back where it had been sitting.

"Okay, so now she is… she looks really puffy, is that normal?" Twilight looked closer and closer, her mind working more scientifically than normal, not connecting the strapped-down mare on display with her friend.

Fluttershy was breathing heavily, testing her bounds one by one and finding them quite secure. Then the first lick came. She couldn't stop the little groan that came from her lips.

"Princess!" Thunderlane smiled at Twilight, one hoof holding Dash's head up, his second pet lapping away at the first's exposed plot. "I would never have expected you to lick out your own friend like this. I am shocked!"

Twilight stared at Thunder and a lot of things started to connect in her head. She looked at Fluttershy, watched her friend strain to push back, to take as much tongue as she could. Every sound that left the restrained mare's mouth was a wordless exclamation of lust. It really isn't torture, he is building a game, a complex game. She leaned in, eyes locked on Rainbow's snout, and inhaled.

Her mind racing as fast as it can, Fluttershy imagined Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, eating her out, devouring her body. I can't take this anymore, I really can't. "Oh…" Fluttershy's body trembled in the grip of the restraints, she strained to buck, to shove back, to call out. Even her wings hung limply at her sides, tracing the angle of the frame perfectly.

"Okay Princess, leave her be." Thunder tapped Rainbow Dash on the shoulder, then had to grab and pull the pegasus away from her meal. "Eager." Thunder reached up and rubbed his hoof along the sopping mound that clenched and throbbed before them, and then before Twilight could react he smeared the fluids around her snout, rubbing the mare's musk into her fur.

Rainbow Dash grinned widely, licking her lips again and again. I think I have found something better than being used by Master, being his accomplice. Rainbow felt her sand in a big way, puffing her chest out and, leaning to the side, nuzzling Thunder.

Twilight couldn't stop herself, her tongue snaked out and tasted the musky fluid smeared around her lips and cheeks. She blushed red when she did so, looking straight to Thunder. Things seemed to settle around her before the pegasus suddenly walked past her, toward the stairs up.

"Come with me, Princess. Stripes, make sure Softy gets a few more orgasms before we get back." Thunder waited until Twilight followed him. At the top of the stairs he waited for the mare to pass him before closing the door. "You get it now, don't you? Speak if you want, we are not in my basement with my pets right now."

"Get what? That this is all a game? That you are the one running it and that… that they really like playing?" Twilight's heart was pounding. "And what was that about? She thought I was doing that to her."

"Exactly. You're just like me, Twilight Sparkle." Thunderlane did something he had always wanted to, he booped the Princess. "You hated the smack, you would have struck me down where I stood if I did that any other time. But down there you respected me because I was in control. But you didn't give in, you didn't surrender. You are just like me."

The words echoed in Twilight's head. She took a deep breath and gulped. "So… so if I… what do I…" She was lost, lost in the words the stallion had given her, because they seemed so true. "Are there books? How do I learn more about this?" Eagerness to learn almost overwhelmed Twilight.

"Well that is easy. I can teach you the basics, but you must build on them with a pony you can connect with. Understand, I would give you one of mine but… I am really attached to Stripes, and Softy is becoming a quick favorite too." Thunder gestured at the door. "Take the collar off, Twilight. My student doesn't need to wear that."

"Thunderlane?" Twilight blinked a few times, quirking her head a little to the side. "Okay, I really want to learn. How do I find a pony who wants… wants that?" She watched him open the door and started to follow him back down. As she walked, she used magic to remove the collar from her own throat. She felt both lighter and more substantial.

"For starters, you get to play with my fillies." Thunder made sure both his "fillies" would be able to hear his voice. "Then we can see about getting you a filly of your own… or a colt." Fluttershy's cry of pleasure drew his ears to perk toward the bound mare. "Stripes, how is that licking going?"

"Bark bark bucking bark." Dash gave her friend another good lick. "Got two out of her, Master. My tongue is getting a little tired." She smirked at the stallion.

"She wants to be punished?" Twilight looked to Thunder, watched him nod. 

"Stripes likes playing rough, and for that you will take her down to the cage at the back of the room and work out how to bind her inside it. The small cage." Thunderlane looked to Twilight with a smile. "Think you can handle that, Princess?"

Twilight's blood ran red hot, she blushed, she fidgeted, she gave a little sigh. "I will sure try." She looked at her friend and shook her head. She isn't my friend, she is Thunderlane's pet. He wants me to lock her up. "Come on Stripes." Twilight walked past Dash, her magic picking up the paddle the stallion had used on her own flank, giving the blue pegasus a firm smack on her rear.

"Oh buck…" Dash looked to Thunderlane, then back to Twilight. The hesitation cost her another mack with the paddle, but after that she trotted after her best friend. She… what did they say? This isn't Twilight!

"While my new apprentice is taking care of Stripes, I am going to have a little fun with you, Softy." Thunder reached for a crank, winding it and lowering the frame down.

Fluttershy hadn't been able to see anything that had happened, but when she felt the frame going down she trembled in anticipation of what might be going to happen. Expecting her hooves to touch the floor, she tried to tilt her head and see why they hadn't.

Thunder wound the crank a little lower, the whole frame—along with the floor it was attached to—sinking down until Fluttershy was at a much more convenient height. He stepped over the frame, over the bound mare, and pressed his belly-fur against her croup. 

Folding her ears back, Fluttershy couldn't see and couldn't move. She trembled a little. "Meow meow meo-" She didn't get the third meow out, the weight left her back and she felt the strap around her neck loosen. She looked up at Thunder, just as he wrapped her in a hug. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, M-M-Master."

"It's okay. What was the problem? That you can't move?" Thunderlane watched over Shy's back as Twilight struggled to open the cage. He petted her, stroking along her shoulder and down to her wing.

"I am… well…" Fluttershy gave a soft "eep" and shook her head. "Being tied up is nice, but I have never had a-a stallion before. I really want to-to have fun, but will it hurt? I read a book once, a n-naughty one, it said it hurts… that it hurts the first time."

Thunder kissed Fluttershy's cheek, one hoof stroking her mane to calm her. "It shouldn't, so long as we go slow and nothing is forced. I will go slow for you, Softy, but only the first time." Thunder rubbed one of the mare's ears, even heard her give a little sigh. "Are you okay with this?"

"I really want to be a good pet for you." Fluttershy took a deep breath. "Please go slow," she gave the stallion a half smile, "Master." The rubbing at her ear increased, made her tingle pleasantly all over. Then his hoof reached up, pulled the strap over her neck again. "Thank you." The buckle fastened, pinning her in place once more. "Thank you so much."

Twilight stood, jaw almost on the floor. He really does care for her, like, a lot-a lot. She tried to understand every facet of what just passed between the stallion and her friend. It took her a moment longer to get back to Rainbow Dash. "Hooves through the front, fold your back ones under you." Her voice easily took that commanding tone she had been practicing for when she had to deal with certain situations. "Hold still, Stripes."

Rainbow Dash didn't dare look up, Twilight was being every bit as in control as Thunderlane was. I can't get over how she uses her magic. With Master I can see him do things, with Twilight- She lost her focus, ironically, as the top of the cage came down and pressed into the top of her head and her spine. The pressure forced her mouth to the opening at the front of the cage, and her plot firmly against the opening at the back. She couldn't move.

"You said your tongue was tired? It isn't anymore. I want an orgasm." Twilight's heart raced, she pulled the bench over and set it before the cage and perched up on top of it.

The big purple plot took up all of Dash's view. She watched as Twilight edged back toward her, then flicked her tail to the side. Lethargy left Dash, her eyes closed as she felt Princess Twilight Sparkle edge back enough that her vulva pressed to Rainbow's snout. She didn't need to think, she didn't need to move, all Dash could do was lick.

Thunder was hard at the sight and sound of Twilight forcing her friend to pleasure her. He gave the alicorn a salute with one wing, even got one back from her. "Now Softy, Stripes has helped keep me ready for you, but I am going to take you slowly, okay?" Thunder stroked along Fluttershy's croup and down to her dock. Pulling the mare's tail to one side, he slid up her back again. "Meow for me if you don't like this."

Fluttershy tried to nod, to show she accepted the command, but when the thick head of Thunder's shaft kissed her back lips she lost any hope of talking, let alone meowing. He was true to his word and it inspired warm thoughts for Thunder as he started to put more and more pressure on her. When he finally popped inside she gave a deep sigh, closing her eyes tightly against what she feared. Master promised it wouldn't hurt...

Going so very slowly, Thunder felt her start to claim more of him, before there was some resistance. He didn't shove, he didn't dare buck, Thunderlane just leaned forward a little.

Pressure grew, Fluttershy's eyelids trembled a moment before clamping closed tight. The barrier parted, but there was no pain for her. "M-M-Master! Thank you!" She wanted to clamp her mouth closed, pin her lips with her hooves, but she couldn't move. "Sorry M-Master."

"Softy, you have given me too much trust today for me to be angry." Thunder stroked the mare's shoulder, the only pressure he felt inside her now was from her walls. "Are you ready for more? Just meow once when you are."

Fluttershy first tried to nod, then her brain managed to process what she needed to do. "Meowwwwww." The word started normal, but dragged out as Thunder pushed in deeper, Fluttershy's wings shot out and up on each side of the stallion on her back, but far from the "sharp pain" those books had talked about, this was only pleasure. 

Thunder started his ride, still going slow for his newest pet. Pulling back, he angled himself so that as much of his shaft would stroke her insides as he could, before coming forward in a more firm thrust. Pulling back again, he repeated the action, almost coming free from her body before grinding all the way in, his groin suddenly pressing to her plot. 

Twilight watched, she watched and held back any groans she could. Beside her, a scroll and quill kept working away, taking down every little thing she thought. This is like masturbation. Stripes will keep going until I stop her, just like if I used some kind of toy. The revelation got her even more excited. Pushing her hips back just a touch more, Twilight drenched her friend in her musk. "I wish you could see this, Stripes. Your master is deflowering your best friend, now he is bucking her brains out." Did I just say that? Wow… It was hot!

Rainbow's ears perked, she heard Princess Twilight start giving her a play-by-play of how Thunderlane was screwing their best friend, while Fluttershy couldn't even struggle. This is so awesome…
> Awakening a Hunger
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainbow Dash groaned. It felt like her master had fitted the gag Fluttershy had been wearing, something huge was shoved into her mouth, with straps binding it in place. Then a lightning-strike of pleasure shook through her groin. Laying on her back, with something holding her legs apart, she couldn't hope to stop another lick from coming. "Mmfmf." She gurgled around the thick shaft, eyes cracking open to reveal Thunderlane's groin. 

"Don't stop, Stripes. Your breakfast is only a little further away." Thunder reached a forehoof down and brushed back Rainbow's mane from her face, letting her see that her head was strapped to a harness around his own groin.

Mmm, breakfast. Rainbow started working her tongue along what was obviously, now at least, not a toy. She felt the shaft surge a little, tried to reach up to play with the hefty balls pressed to her chin. Bound me up too? Dang I must have it hard for him. Her lips curled into a slight grin around the cock, until another lick came. This time Rainbow actually came and twitched, her body bucking and thrashing a little in the throws of orgasm.

Fluttershy's wings were bound down with a black body-stocking, but otherwise Thunder had left her free, and she already knew what she wanted to do. She licked again, then rubbed her lip along the folds before her. Oh my, Rainbow really likes this. I better keep going.

Bucking her belly upwards, Rainbow's groin was pinned in place by the weight of a yellow pegasus, she couldn't escape the continued licks, each driving her body to squirm and struggle. But Dash was focused on her prize. She nursed and sucked, licked the underside and, when she found the medial ring a bit deeper in her mouth, managed to undulate her tongue over it. When the first blast came, so did Dash. She trembled in bliss as Thunder filled her, spraying his seed right into her belly.

"Good filly." Thunderlane stroked Rainbow's mane, rubbing an ear gently. "Fluttershy needs to spend the morning with her little friends, so it will be just you and me." He watched the mare's eyes roll up to meet his, and blew her a kiss. "You get to pick, I can take you out like this, or I will pick something new for you to wear."

Rainbow was a little confused, her mind tried to piece together how her present bondage could be maintained and Thunderlane still walk around. Oh buck, he would probably strap me to his belly, so anypony that looked at him head on could see me on display, and anypony to the sides would see me trapped on his... She blushed, but as much as she wanted to be treated like that, she knew what Thunder wanted. She squirmed a little in her bindings.

"Something else?" Waiting for the mare to try to nod, Thunder gave a little groan. "Okay, my filly. As for you…" Thunderlane rolled a little and propped himself up. It pulled Rainbow up, forcing her face to stay stuck in his groin. "Softy, you may go and be Fluttershy again. When you wish, please come back."

Fluttershy looked up and blinked, her mind mentally making the transition between pet and friend. She smiled widely and stretched. "Thank you, Thunder. This has… this has been the best time I have ever had… with a stallion… or anypony in my bedroom…" She started to blush until the sound of Rainbow's groan heralded Thunderlane's movement on the bed.

Kissing Fluttershy's cheek, Thunderlane gave her a little nuzzle. "And when you come back, it will be your turn in that cage." He traced kisses up her cheek and nibbled at her ear.

"Oh my…" Fluttershy giggled and ran for the door, tail raised high in the air more on a whim now, than because of equipment.

Thunder looked at Rainbow, her cheeks were puffing out and sucking back in, but he didn't need to see that to know she was nursing on his shaft. Adjusting his position a little, he crouched over the mare and started to buck into her, dragging her head back with the straps, before shoving forward.

Rainbow was being abused and used, but still she nursed from the stallion, relying on the straps to support her head. With each buck forward she rolled her tongue along his underside, until another hot rush down her throat made her almost purr.

"Double helping of breakfast? Well, I think I feel like some apples." Thunder reached down and unfastened the straps from around his groin, pulling free of Rainbow's maw. "How does your jaw feel? You can talk, Stripes."

"Caw I?" Rainbow was still struggling in the rest of the bonds, more for fun than out of any real desire to get free. Her jaw was a bit sore, but not enough to worry her. "Thank you, Master."

"Well, you have a lot to thank me for, Stripes, but what are you thanking me for right this second?" Thunderlane reached down and started unfastening the bindings on Rainbow's forelegs.

"I heard what happened with Shy, you love her too?" Rainbow felt part of herself tense, that part really wanted the stallion for herself, to be her special master. 

"Love… I don't know about love, Stripes." Thunder carefully undid each leg, rubbing them to make sure no muscles cramped up. "But she is very special, and I think you feel the same." He leaned down and sniffed at Dash's mane, smelling his own musk on her fur still. "I don't think there is a problem playing with both of you, particularly not if your friend-"

"Twilight… wow." Rainbow worked her shoulders and before her back legs were even free, reached up and hugged tight to Thunderlane. "I should thank you for that, too. I don't know what you said to her, but wow did she seem different."

"She likes being in control, I really should have seen it earlier. She is welcome any time, I gather?" Thunder leaned into Dash's mane, loving the smell of himself laid over her own spicy scent.

"Twilight? She…" Rainbow gave a happy little groan when her wings were freed from the straps holding them down. "Oh buck, Master. Thank you." She gathered her wits again, flapping her wings slowly. "She is a completely different pony when… well, come to think of it, she has acted a little that way before. But never like that."

Thunder unfastened the spreader bar's cuffs from Rainbow's legs. "You mean, she never chained you down and used you like a toy to get off?" He rubbed the mare's spine from dock to neck, then back down again. "Shame, I bet she would have been a great top for you, too. Okay, let's get back in character, I have a wonderful day planned."

The petting came again and Rainbow arched her back up into it, like a cat. When he grabbed her dock she didn't struggle, her tail-muscles quite used to being played with by now.

"It is market day, Stripes." Thunder leaned down and gave a playful bite to the mare's dock, felt her muscles tense under him. "So that means we are going shopping. I bet nearly everypony in town knows that you are nothing but my pet now. Your tail is a game today, keep it up and in the air. If I see it dip just once, you will earn a punishment."

Rainbow wagged her tail, not making any pretense about what the action meant anymore; she loved this. She felt Thunder's hoof carefully stretch out her left wing, straightening it nearly fully, before something pressed down around the leading edge. She looked over and saw a spring-loaded clamp digging into the nerve and pinching it. Everything beyond that joint seemed to go numb, her wing twitching oddly.

"You know what these are, piton clamps. But it means your wings are free today, Stripes. But no flying." Thunder stretched the mare's other wing out before he fitted another of the little clamps, triggering it to pinch the nerve in her right wing. "Okay, give it a few… and flap them, Stripes."

Rainbow Dash, best flier in all of Equestria, flapped her mighty wings and got not an ounce of lift. It was like most of her wings just weren't there. Leaning to one, she nuzzled the wing itself, not the device on it, and whined.

"I can always just clip your primaries, if you would-" Thunder gave a little chuckle at the mare clinging to him tightly. "Piton pinch clamps it is then." Climbing from the bed, Thunderlane walked over to the big closet and opened it up. "Maybe a plug? A pair of plugs? A gag?" Thunder browsed through his things, twitching the bandaged-up wings at his sides. "Definitely a gag."

Climbing—or in this case flopping—off the bed, Rainbow trotted for the door and out it, her tail held in the air obligingly.

Thunderlane knew what she was going to do and left her to it. I really trust that mare now, she always comes back. He froze. "Is this love?" Schooling his features, he set a ball gag, three big plug-toys, and the big rubber socks aside. Applying slick lube to each toy, he lined the first up on the floor and tried to position himself over it.

"Bark Bark Bark. Stop that Master." Dash trotted into the room, shaking her head. "Give me that… wow that's a big one."

"I will not take one smaller than what I give you." Thunder rose obligingly and offered his own rear to Rainbow. "Besides, I love big things in me." He took a slightly wide stance and braced. The first push of the toy had him groaning, Rainbow was barely pushing it. He was opening his mouth to complain when she pushed more, finally, and all he could do was moan loudly.

Playing with the toy, Rainbow gave it a little jiggle, a slight twist, before tensing all her muscles and pushing hard. She felt the stallion's rump claim the toy, clamping down behind the bulge to snug it within him. She was left breathing hard, her snout pressed up and under his dock. 

"Your turn." Thunder looked over his shoulders, saw the mare distractedly smelling him, and left her a moment. "Stripes, you okay?" She seemed to snap awake, pulling her head out and looking at him. "Good girl, now offer me yourself."

Rainbow knew he had her trained, she didn't care. Turning around, her tail arching back and onto her own back, Rainbow lowered her forelegs down and angled her plot up. I don't care that he trained me, because this is fun. She smiled and closed her eyes. 

Thunderlane gave a happy sigh, lifting his hoof and smacking one of the mare's cheeks, then the other. "Just something to help keep your mind off this." He pushed the tip of the first plug to her tail-hole, pressing and wriggling the oversized toy. He had to lean into the base of the plug, working more and more into Rainbow's rear.

Braced, with her rump in the air, Rainbow's eyes were closed and she was floating away in a blissful delight, her body steadily invaded more and more by the big toy until, just when she started to think it wasn't going in, it did. "Oh buckity buck…"

"Good filly, I know that was a big one for you, but you are still going to be punished for talking." Thunder rubbed her ass cheek now, right where he had smacked it. "You still have one to go. Can't have my naughty pet out in public like this, flashing everypony." He pressed the second of the plugs to Rainbow's vulva, the lube making the passage very slippery as it pushed in. 

The toys were thicker around than Thunder by a good margin, leaving Rainbow Dash struggling against the mass of the thing even pushing into her vagina. That particular spot was more elastic than her rear, though, and the hefty toy was pushed in easier.

"Now make sure you hold that in there, clamp down on it my greedy little Stripes." Thunder rubbed her other cheek now, watching as Rainbow's muscles closed around the big intruder, gripping it, holding it, claiming it.

Rainbow heard Thunder walk back to the cabinet and return to her, she didn't open her eyes or move an inch, until something clamped down onto one of her little teats. 

"Two different words, you used." Thunderlane triggered the piercing gun, the machine pre-loaded with a little ring. "That was one."

Knowing what was coming, Rainbow bit her lip rather than give her safe words again. She trembled, waiting… and waiting.

"Stripes?" Thunder had loaded the next ring, but he was a little worried about Dash. "Stripes, is this cool with you?" He hated to break the game, but he wasn't sure about this one thing. When the mare nodded, her eyes clamped shut, he shook his head in surprise. "Okay, it will be quick." 

The clamped-ends of the piercer pressed on each side of her other teat and Rainbow was proud of the fact that—when it clicked loudly—she didn't make a sound. The pain of the piercing had been sudden, but gone in a flash. The little tiny weight of the rings was strange to her. Strange, but good.

Thunder felt his heart swell as Rainbow got her forelegs under herself, stood up, and looked to him. "Good filly, Stripes. I will get you a treat when we are out." He brushed at Rainbow's mane, ruffling it up. 

Looking down and under herself, Rainbow looked back toward where her flat udder was. Her teats both had shiny silver rings in them. Nopony would be able to see them at all, unless they got inquisitive. She smiled at them, shifting her plot from side to side, seeing and feeling the little rings move. Pulling her head up, she was just in time to see the big red ball gag being held up for her. "Bark!" She grinned wide and strutted her way closer, opening her mouth and leaning toward Thunderlane.

"I can see I am going to need to be more inventive about punishments in the future. But I chose that, it stands and pays your debt, Stripes." Thunderlane pressed the gag into the mare's mouth, pushing the thing past her teeth before pulling the rest of the bridle-straps up and over her head. It fastened over her ears and behind her head, buckles pulling tight as he fastened it all up.

Rainbow Dash tried to open her mouth as wide as she could, and screamed. She blasted her lungs out through her vocal cords, she tried to raise Tartarus with just her voice—and failed. Looking up, she beamed and nodded. Buck this is fun. Oh, and I still have the socks!

Thunder patted at the bed, guiding Dash to jump up. Pushing her to her back, he pressed the first rolled-up sock to her forehoof. "I remembered when you twitched and didn't like me touching your hooves." He rolled the long sock all the way up to her shoulder. "Now look at you, Stripes." He repeated the procedure for each other leg, leaving Rainbow's legs covered in the squeaky rubber.

Rainbow Dash squirmed on her back, kicking her legs up playfully. But then she saw him. Her mouth began to water, her belly gurgled, and even her stretched vagina started to itch. Master is hard and ready for me… because of me. She squirmed some more, but only to get closer.

"Oh…" Thunder gave a happy groan as Rainbow's soft-rubber-covered forelegs found him, rubbing along his aching hardness, causing him to buck a little into her caress. He stood still and closed his eyes, not making her time any easier, but certainly not stopping his pet.

Stretching out, using her wings as balance, Rainbow managed to get her snout to rub against his tip, giggling into her gag silently, smearing his early discharge along her cheeks. Stroking up and down his length with squeaky motions of her hooves, it wasn't long before she saw signs that she had him close. 

Thunder barely managed to yank the mare back before he started loosing himself onto the floor. Groaning as he sprayed, he had seen what Rainbow intended to do. Bucking his hips into empty air, Thunder gave Rainbow a loving look. "You… you wanted to paint yourself." He watched her blush and nod. "When we get back you can, I will even let you roll in that," he gestured to the mess on the polished wood floor, "and clean it with your mane."

Oh buck I will be good, Master. I promise.
> On the Town
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dash strutted along, her head pressed against Thunderlane's shoulder, keeping at heel almost completely automatically now. The leash wasn't even fastened, it was a matter of pride for Rainbow that she didn't need it. 

"I was thinking of baking an apple pie tonight, Stripes." Thunder loved the tight feeling under his tail, but more than that he loved knowing his pet had it twice as bad. "But then I realized that was silly, I could always buy one already made." 

Eyes turned and looked at her, Dash knew why Thunder was taking her out today, but she hadn't realized just how busy market day was going to be. Some ponies just outright ignored her, others stopped and stared with various looks ranging from covetous to outrage. When Thunder led her up to the Apple family stall she saw a new one, surprise.

"Well howdy there Dash, Thunder." Applejack blinked and did a double-take at her friend and sometime-rival. "Rainbow? You okay there?" She looked between the two pegasi. "Ah might not be all that sophisticated, but I just need to know this is okay with my friend."

Dash tried to smile around the ball gag, but in the end she had to just give a sharp nod. 

"We have a way that she can tell me if she doesn't like something, it is kind of like those games I hear your brother likes, but with less dice and paper." Thunderlane reached a hoof up and rubbed one of Dash's ears. "And if you would, can you call her Stripes while we are playing?"

Applejack blinked a few times, taking it all in. "So it's just some kinda game?" Rainbow nodded. "Ah shucks, Ah guess if you both enjoy it, what does it hurt anypony else? So does this make you two special someponies?"

"When we aren't playing?" Thunder looked to Rainbow and could read her expression. "Pretty sure it does." Despite his size, and despite his pet being reasonably under his control, Thunderlane was bowled over by a very enthusiastic Rainbow Dash, nuzzling and hugging him.

"Let me guess, first time you said that about her?" Applejack had a grin a mile wide. "Wait, what are those in…" She trailed off, seeing the back-end of Rainbow was a sudden shock, and more than a little confusion. "Rain… Stripes, we're gonna have a chat a bit later. Y'all need to learn some things about being a lady an… an not showing off like that!"

"Hey! Enough, Stripes!" Thunder had to push and work at getting the excited mare off him, but at last he got his hooves back under him enough to stand, not that Rainbow wasn't still nuzzling him like a fiend. Looking to Applejack, he saw a wide grin. "Can you believe I thought I had her trained."

"You got ya hooves full if you think you can train that'un." Applejack tossed an apple to the stallion, who caught it. "So what can Ah do you for?"

"One of your most delicious apple pies, please." Thunder lifted a hoof and ruffled Dash's mane. "Sit, Stripes. You are putting on a show." He grinned at the way her head spun around, and spotted nearly half a dozen stallions with their eyes glued on her, suddenly look away. "Don't worry, Stripes, if you want to play I could put a sign out to advertise."

Applejack noticed two things about her friend: she looked terrified, and she had the happiest grin she had ever seen on her before. "Ah can certainly help with that." She lifted up a big apple pie and set it on the counter. "Special occasion?"

"I think," Thunderlane smiled wider when he caught sight of a yellow and pink pony, "it is. Hello Fluttershy, how are your animals today?" His eyes roamed over her body, remembering that when she came to him, that it was all his.

Freezing at the first non-play confrontation with her "master," Fluttershy blushed and could feel Thunderlane's eyes all over her. Most of her was terrified her friends would find out, part of her wished they would. "Oh, uh… they are fine… thank you… eep."

"Here's your order, Fluttershy." Applejack passed over a bag of things to the yellow mare. "Ah even got that little rascal some extra carrots this time."

Rainbow didn't want to stand up, she was still blushing from when all the stallions had been staring at her. Tilting her head to the side, she looked back and saw that a few hadn't even moved, they were waiting for her. She was so distracted that she didn't notice her friend until Fluttershy was at her side, gently stroking her mane.

"Hello there, Stripes." Fluttershy's world narrowed down. She didn't have to worry about complex social interactions between a sub and their dom outside the bedroom. She didn't even have to worry about any ponies looking at her. There was just her, and a friend's pet. "Oh, you aren't talking today?"

Shaking her head, Dash nuzzled in against her friend, loving the simple affection that was offered. When one hoof started to rub behind her ear, Rainbow practically melted.

"You got quite a way with… uh, Stripes?" Applejack looked to Thunder, getting a nod from him before turning back to Fluttershy. "You already knew about all this?" Applejack looked between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, seeing a connection that went further than their friendship.

"Uh, yes…" Fluttershy started to withdraw again, but to her shock Dash seemed to sit up straighter, paying more attention to her. It was impossible to resist, her destiny was to look after adorable animals. And that is what Stripes is, isn't it? One of the cutest animals I know.

"We should probably be going, right Stripes?" Thunderlane found the mare's other ear, so that both were claimed by rubbing hooves. "Don't suppose you want to visit for the afternoon, Fluttershy?" The moment he asked, Thunder could see the desire in the mare's eyes.

"I… I… I need to fix all my little friends their dinner." Fluttershy's eyes darted to the bag of goods from Applejack. "But after that it would be… it would be nice." Just for brushings, though, not for sex. Definitely not for sex. Hot, filling, wonderful sex. Nope!

Leaning closer to Fluttershy, over the top of Dash, Thunderlane whispered, "I will have a brush ready and-" He stopped when Fluttershy's wings flew up into the air and she galloped away.

"Just what'n tarnation did you say to her?" Applejack was starting to suspect something, something strange. "You play nice with my friends, Thunderlane." She was no Fluttershy, but Applejack knew that her stare carried something special with it. It carried the Truth.

Nodding, unable to actually say a word back to the friendly earth pony, Thunder turned and started trotting away. He managed to start breathing again when he passed Carousel Boutique. Turning his head, he saw that Rainbow Dash was still at his side, still at heel. "Good girl, Stripes. I think we might head home and… relax."

"I am a little surprised you aren't making use of some of my things." Rarity had been just leaving her boutique when she spotted the couple. "I do hope you return them soon." She narrowed her eyes at Thunder.

"Uh, I had meant to talk to you about them." Thunderlane walked closer to Rarity and stopped. At his side, Rainbow Dash obediently sat down. "It appears I owe you for Softy's collar, and I was wondering how much you would sell the gag for?"

Rarity's eyes flew wide open. "Uh, perhaps we should discuss this, indoors…" She backed up to her front door and opened it, gesturing inside. Thunder trotted past her, but when she saw Rainbow Dash her heart nearly stopped. Gag. Stockings. Tail raiser. When she saw the plugs in the mare's back-end, she almost fainted. "P-P-Please have a seat."

Rainbow Dash followed Thunder's side and turned with him to sit, facing Rarity, when he stopped. She watched as her friend put out a "do not disturb" sign and then locked her front door.

"Those things aren't what every mare would keep around the house." Thunderlane started rubbing under Dash's jaw, the mare stretching her head up in the air to allow greater access to the task. "Are they 'yours'? Or are they for somepony else?" He watched the most delicious blush form in Rarity's cheeks, and it all started when he asked if they were for her. "You don't have a master, much as I would adore to smack you until your plot turns pink, I have my hooves full. Would you like a demonstration of what a master would do for you?"

Rarity's body was frozen, this was not a social situation she had ever possibly prepared for. Is he going to… to tie me up and do things to me? Is he going to use my own things on me? "Are…" She stopped and took a deep breath. "Sweetie Belle is out with her friends, and will be for a few hours. If you want to demonstrate, do so." Boldness was as much part of Rarity as generosity. She didn't end up owning fashion shops in every major city in Equestria without being prepared to take a few leaps of faith. 

"Stand up, Stripes. We are going to put on a show for your friend." Thunderlane set the apple pie aside on the couch and gave Rainbow's plot a light spank. Her blue plot lifted up against his hoof. "You see, my pet here is very well trained." He had to take a firm grip on the plug in her vulva, grabbing it and jerking back firmly.

Eyes wide, Dash yelled into her gag. I am so empty… I hate this, it sucks! She wiggled her rear a little, wishing Thunderlane would fix her problem.

Walking across the boutique, Thunderlane held the plug up for Rarity. The thing was sopping wet with Dash's fluids, keeping it in had clearly taken a lot of squeezing. "This is a gift for you." Thunder bowed to Rarity and held out the plug. "And I am sure you will find a use for it before the day is out."

Rarity took the butt plug in her magic, watching the stallion walk back to Rainbow Dash. Her friend had crouched down now, her head and chest on the floor, plot in the air. A shiver ran down Rarity's spine at the image of submission. Without meaning to, she snaked her tongue out and licked the toy.

Rainbow Dash groaned into her gag, amazed at the sense of control Thunderlane was exuding. She locked her eyes with Rarity and saw her friend do the same. She couldn't smile with her mouth, but she knew her eyes showed her friend how turned on she was. Then Thunder was in her.

"This is what it means for her to be my pet, Rarity. I can buck her any time I want. When she puts herself under my control, she belongs to me completely." Thunderlane was ever a showstallion, of course this was all a game for both mares, he looked down at Dash, looked for any sign she might be trying to tap out of this embarrassing situation he had put her in. 

When the stallion started to buck into the submissive mare, Rarity almost lost her mind. That is Thunderlane and Rainbow Dash, not just some stallion and some mare. I know those ponies, Rainbow Dash would never go in for… she loves it… she loves him… She could do nothing but stare in fascination at the "show."

Thunderlane plowed Rainbow, he drove as deep as he could and pulled almost all the way free. He built a rhythm he normally couldn't because the mare normally had him so worked up he was on a hair trigger. As he bucked in, he leaned forward. "You are not allowed to cum until I say so, Stripes."

The panic on Dash's face was mirrored in shock on Rarity's. Rainbow shoved down, fighting her own body, her own amore. She started to whine in her throat when she felt the hot rush of warmth inside herself. Master is allowed, but I can't… She looked at her friend, across the room, with desperation in her eyes.

"Thunderlane!" Rarity found her voice, galvanized by her need to help her friend. "If… if I give you something, will you let her…. let her…"

"Cum?" Thunderlane smiled wide. "If you say the word, and offer me something I deem worth her pleasure… sure." He held his shaft all the way into Rainbow, his groin pressed firmly down on her plot. "So show me what you offer."

Rainbow whimpered and whined with each movement Thunder made. She was on edge, should be over it, but her stubbornness in the matter reinforced the command Thunderlane had given her. She watched as Rarity went to a closet to the side of the room, unlocked it, and lifted out a giant of a toy.

"I had this made… it is big, very big. I can barely walk while wearing it." Rarity floated the huge dong over to Thunderlane. "Let my friend climax and you can have it." 

This is too much for a silly game. Thunderlane looked at the toy and gave a nod. "Very well, this is probably worth it for her." Leaning down, Thunderlane pulled back sharply and bucked forward again. "Cum, Stripes."

She never heard the second word. The moment her master told her she could, Rainbow Dash came hard enough that her legs wobbled and the sound of her groan was audible even past the gag. The world faded as lightning surged through her body. She shoved back against Thunder, taking all she could get of him.

Rarity's eyes were wide, she didn't even realize she had her own tail up and slightly cocked. She watched as Thunderlane dismounted Rainbow Dash and, to her absolute delight, he started to feed the huge toy into her. 

She was only empty for a moment, but that didn't stop Dash from whimpering a little more. When the toy started to go inside her, she fluttered her eyes closed in delight. Deeper and deeper, it seemed to be bigger than Thunder, not that she minded. She lost her focus until the straps were being tightened around her back-end, holding the toy firmly and deeply within and making her eyes nearly bug out at the feeling of fullness. 

Thunderlane looked down at Rainbow Dash, stroking her mane all the way down her back to her dock. "Good filly. There you are, not so empty now I bet." He gave her rump a gentle smack. "But we have to get home, Softy will be joining us soon, I think." Fetching his pie, Thunderlane led the staggering Rainbow Dash from Rarity's boutique.

The moment the pair were out of her shop, Rarity felt herself relax. Turning back to the door she locked it behind the pair and started to trot to her bed. Then she spotted the stain Thunderlane had left on the floor, a mixture of his own and Dash's fluids. "The door is locked…" Rarity double checked it before trotting back, crouching down—just as Rainbow had been for Thunderlane—and started to lap up the mess.
> Bucked
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Thunderlane got home, Dash obediently walking at his side, he found out he had a royal visit. "Princess Twilight Sparkle." He gave a slight bow to her, but his eyes turned to the mare at her side. "Fluttershy. Truly, both of you are a sight to set any stallion's heart a-quiver. Come inside."

As she followed Thunder inside, Twilight lifted out her notes and her quills. "Sorry about coming back so soon." She blushed a little. "But I am really excited about this. I took the train to Canterlot… I, uh, ordered a few books." She blushed.

"Good ones, I hope?" Thunder pointed to a stain on the floor. "Your reward, Stripes." He flopped down on the couch, immediately having a yellow pony leap up onto his lap, a brush in her mouth. "Well, somepony has some demands. I don't suppose it hurts." He took the brush from Fluttershy's mouth and set to work on her already-pristine mane.

Twilight stared at Rainbow Dash with her mouth half-open. Her friend had sniffed around on the floor, locating a stain of some kind. Before more than a few seconds passed, the blue pegasus flopped to her side and rolled to her back. "What is she…?"

Dash was squirming in bliss, the floor smelled wonderfully of Thunderlane, and she worked her mane and back into it, her raised tail even catching the mess. Tilting her head all the way back, she looked at Twilight and grinned.

Fluttershy closed her eyes, relaxing completely as Thunder brushed her. This was her bliss, her perfection. But she knew he would want something from her, something that was almost as much fun as being brushed. He had me first of any stallion, I want him to have me second, third, and fourth too! She giggled softly at the thought.

"Well, if you mean Stripes, she is cleaning a mess she helped make earlier, and Softy really needed a good brushing, didn't you?" Thunder ran a hoof through the so-soft mane before returning to brushing Fluttershy. "So what are we doing tonight, Princess? You chose the A frame for Softy last time, and had me take away her virginity. What am I going to be doing tonight?"

The question surprised Twilight, made her look between both Dash and Fluttershy. "I… I want to play with Flu- Softy, tonight. I want to deprive her of sight, sound, smell and taste. I want her to feel nothing that I am not giving her." Twilight froze, her expression one of shock.

"Softy, I think Princess has a wonderful night planned, but she has to do something for you, first. I think Twilight should climb up on the couch and lick you into orgasm." Thunderlane's eyes weren't focused on Fluttershy, they were locked on Twilight. "What does the Princess of Friendship think about that? A fair warm-up?"

Dash was done cleaning up the mess, and trotted over to the couch. Leaning in to Thunder's ear, she nuzzled softly, then butted him. She waited patiently while the stallion took off her gag. "I want you to lie on that bench, I want to be in that cage, with your cock pointed at me, I want you to spray me down again and again as I suck on you."

Thunder blinked a few times, turned and looked at Rainbow Dash. "You, have a naughtier mind sometimes than I do, and enjoy my cum far too much., Stripes." He ruffled her damp mane, offering his wet hoof back to her to lick clean. "But I think that will be a fine start." 

Twilight gulped and looked at Fluttershy. Softy, she is just softy, a pet, an animal. A friend I am going to play with. Climbing up on the couch, she examined Fluttershy's slightly arched tail. Twilight used her magic to gently push it aside. The sight of an inflamed and almost-dripping vulva was served up, she watched as Shy's lips seemed to move, trying to clutch at anything that might be offered. Gulping, she leaned forward and pressed her snout in. The musky taste of Fluttershy's nethers assaulted her probing tongue, she found immediately that she quite liked the taste of mare. Closing her eyes, she nuzzled forward, working her tongue along Fluttershy's slit.

"You are a good girl, Softy. This is a warm up for you, and a reward for being so good." Thunder kept up on the mare's mane, watching as her snout kept snuffling up as Fluttershy fought down a cry. "You can sing if you want, little kitten, but no words."

Rainbow Dash watched on with glee, watched as Twilight serviced Fluttershy, as the alicorn had forced Dash to service herself the previous night. She nuzzled and rubbed her way down Fluttershy's body, nuzzling in under a wing and making very sure to smear her mane against Shy's pristine fur. When she reached the union between her two friends, she nuzzled in and kissed Twilight's cheek.

Her mouth already quite occupied, Twilight ignored Dash as she nuzzled down her body, even when she rubbed around one of her wings she kept her attention on the quivering yellow pegasus. She lost her focus briefly when Rainbow licked up along her own vulva, she groaned and whined into Fluttershy. She wanted to push Dash away, but at the same time it was nice. 

"Good girl, Stripes. A little motivation and teaching. Pay attention, Princess, she is very good with her mouth." Thunderlane could see the little sticky patches Rainbow had inflicted on both mares and couldn't help getting rock hard. She marked Princess Twilight Sparkle with my scent… He waited until Fluttershy was squirming and moaning, before lifting and clopping his hooves together. "Alright fillies, stop now."

Twilight was a little dazed, lifting her musk-stained snout up and blinking away the confusion at what was going on. "Oh, was that good, Sof-"

"No." Thunder bopped Twilight lightly on the snout. "You don't ask your pets if something was fun, you have to read it from them. Look at how much Softy is squirming, she is a very happy little filly." Thunder leaned down and kissed the bridge of Fluttershy's nose. "Now head downstairs, pick where you are going to play with Softy."

Fluttershy, recovering from her orgasm, just rode out her happiness. At last, she turned and saw the back-end of Twilight going down the stairs. "Mrow?" She looked up at Thunder.

"Yes, yes. Go after her. Make sure to tell her if something is too far, Softy." Thunder shifted his lap until Fluttershy jumped up and trotted for the basement stairs. "Now you, Stripes. Are you sure you want to be in a cage again?" She nodded at him, smiling widely. "You are one kinky little bitch, Stripes, I love it."

Rainbow jumped to her hooves and trotted toward the stairs, after Thunder of course. Her first few steps reminded her of the huge shape inside her, on a whim she decided to try playing with it more. Remembering how she had seen Rarity move at a show once, she began to roll her hips and almost moaned in glee.

Watching Rainbow walk, Thunder laughed. "You haven't got the plot to do that properly, but I bet it feels good." He closed the door behind them and patted the butt plug still lodged inside Rainbow. "Now get down there."

Twilight looked around the room, one of her hooves on Fluttershy's shoulders, rubbing them absently. "I just don't know what to choose. That table looks neat." She stepped over to it, her friend ever at her side. "Okay Softy, up you get." She tapped the top of the table and grinned when Fluttershy jumped up, flapping her wings to make it. "Good filly." The words came easy, she had heard Thunder use them, after all. "On your back, I am going to strap you down, then strap you up."

Thunder watched as Twilight worked, a little grin on his snout. A probing snout under his belly brought him back to reality quickly. "Stripes, Applejack was right, I am never going to break and train you, am I?" 

"Bark!" Rainbow bounced around a little, feeling particularly happy. She stopped when she was Thunder gesturing to her. He brought out a thick collar-like device and lifted it over her neck. It pressed into the back of her head, and around the sides. She gave a soft whine in question.

"This will make you unable to shift away from me." Thunder rubbed another of the damp patches on the mare. "Will you ever stay clean? Well, you have tomorrow off, I hear there is some rain needed by the farms so I think Dash might be needed more than Stripes." He pulled the bottom of the special posture-locking collar up, began buckling it in place.

Rainbow Dash held still until Thunder was done lacing up the device, then she tried to look around at it—and couldn't. She tried all the directions she could, but could not budge her head an inch. A deliriously happy grin planted firmly on her snout as she turned around, feeling strange and wonderful at the strange, forced point of view.

Twilight had Fluttershy's hooves folded and bound, she had straps securing the mare down to the table. "I think you need a gag… oh. Thunderlane, can I borrow that?" She pointed at the one he had removed from Dash earlier. At his nod, she levitated it over. "Open up."

"Meow." Fluttershy didn't use her full safeword, but she did open her mouth up for the big ball. It forced her jaw open a little more, and the sensation of the straps tightening behind her head was oddly comforting. She doesn't care if I talk now, she just wants to use me. She shivered in delight.

"If she butts forward with her head, Princess," Thunderlane had Twilight's attention at the mention of her "name," she looked up at him, "then the game is over and she wants out. Repeat that to me."

Twilight brought a blindfold up next, lifting it over to Fluttershy. "If she butts, the game is over." As she said it, her heart raced. She used her magic to slowly fasten the blindfold behind Fluttershy's head. She said nothing, she was as quiet as she could be, but she leaned in and licked the bound mare's vulva—just once.

"Okay Stripes, over to the cage." Thunderlane pointed at the big cage at the end of the room. "And this time I want you on your back in it." She was already getting into the pose before he even got there. As she snuggled her head down in the pillory at the end of the cage, he saw her eyes widen. "What-"

"TWILIGHT!" Rainbow Dash charged, her pinoned wings still unable to properly flap, but she charged over to where Twilight was licking her friend, her friend who was desperately butting her head forward, again and again. "Get off her, she wants out."

Falling backwards, Twilight's eyes refocused, suddenly seeing the gesture Rainbow Dash had seen from across the room. "I didn't… I didn't see."

Thunder worked with Rainbow, undoing the straps and fastenings, getting Fluttershy out of the restraints. Carrying her over to the bench, Thunder just held the mare against him. "It's okay, it's okay. You are safe and out of it. What was wrong?"

"I-I-I-I don't… I like being restrained but… but it was too much." Fluttershy's heart was beating a milling miles a minute. She clung to Thunderlane, pressed her snout into his mane and inhaled his scent again and again. After a few moments, a brush tugged at her mane, causing her jangled nerves to start to relax. "I don't think I like that table."

"I'm so sorry Fluttershy, I didn't know." Twilight wanted to rush to her friend, to comfort her like Thunderlane was doing. She had watched the stallion do things to Fluttershy she never would have imagined the softly spoken pony allowing. "I… please forgive me." She lowered her head.

"This is a good lesson, but it needs to be driven home. Fluttershy, you have to understand that this was not Twilight's fault, your friend is new at this, and Princess got carried away." Thunderlane nuzzled Fluttershy and let Rainbow keep brushing her.

"I… I want to go home." Fluttershy poked her head up and didn't realize she was kissing Thunder until their lips were tight against each other. Pulling back after a few moments, she smiled. "Thank you, Thunderlane." His legs fell away from her, he let her go in the exact moment she needed it. "Twilight, it…" She had to take a deep breath to find the words. "Twilight, it wasn't your fault, but we need to talk about it. Tomorrow, at lunch?"

Twilight nodded mutely, wanting to rush and hug her friend, but she knew that might be a bad idea indeed. "Lunch then." She gave Fluttershy a little smile and got a hesitant, tiny one back.

Thunderlane waited for Fluttershy to leave the room before he focused on Twilight. "You have no idea what that was like, no idea what you just did to her. Twilight Sparkle, Princess, go and put a collar on." 

On the edge of refusing, Twilight looked to Rainbow Dash and realized the extent to which she had bucked up. "Y-Y-Yes." She turned and walked to the big dresser, finding the collar Thunderlane had made her wear the first time she was here. Lifting it with her magic, she set it up and around her neck. She didn't even hear the stallion, but felt his hooves fasten the collar.

"You get to make a choice, Princess." Thunder selected a ring from the cabinet, tossing it up into the air a few times so that Twilight would see it. "You can do whatever Stripes wants you to do, you can do whatever I want you to do, or you can have done what you did to Fluttershy; you will be on the table, with no safe word, no way out, while we do with you whatever we want." He knew the mare well, knew she wouldn't choose the table.

"R-R-Rainbow… Stripes." Twilight lowered her head. "I want my friend to choose."

Trotting up, her head still locked in position by the collar, Rainbow lifted a hoof up to Twilight's nose. "Master, she needs to learn what it means to be in a situation she doesn't want, right?" She had to turn to see Thunderlane, but he nodded to her. "Then she needs to be marked, bound, played with, and taken for a walk."

"But I am a-" Twilight stopped, snapping her snout shut. She looked up at Rainbow and nodded slowly.

"She is starting to get it." Thunderlane reached a hoof out and stroked Rainbow's ear, giving it a good rub. "Princess, until tomorrow morning, your safe word is the same as Softy's, you will be doing her duties, and be in the situation I would have for her. You can refuse this at any time, just walk away from here, but you will never come back." Thunderlane reached back with a forehoof, stroking the underside of his shaft. "Stripes, get me ready. Princess, lay down."

Twilight's eyes widened, but she lay down on the cool floor. Folding her legs up under herself, she looked up at Thunderlane. She saw his hoof coming down toward her, something glinting in his grip. The moment the horn-blocker slid down her horn she cringed, it was a level of powerlessness that she greatly disliked.

Rainbow Dash crouched down and looked up at her prize. "I wish Master would let me get covered, but this is for Softy." She leaned in, licking and nuzzling the shaft, one forehoof trailing down to rub his balls.

Thunder positioned himself vaguely in the right direction, trusting Rainbow to aim him just right. "Don't you dare open your mouth, and don't you dare look away." He felt himself nearing his peak, nearing release. "Do you want to use your words, Princess? Fluttershy couldn't, you gagged her and ignored her needs." 

Rainbow pointed the stallion right at her friend's face, at Twilight's face. When the first blast rumbled through him, she made sure it sprayed right up from the tip of her nose into her mane. The second shot was more powerful, hitting her cheek and her shoulder. Again and again, she kept nuzzling and directing Thunder until Twilight's face was a mess. The last blast, she leaned up and sucked down herself, shivering happily.

Twilight dared to open her eyes. She was Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship. She had hurt a friend and was now being shown what she had done. I am a mess, and Rainbow Dash is only going to make sure it gets worse. She looked at her friend and already forgave her.
> Calming
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight trembled, she was a mess. Her fur was matted and smelling of stallion and mare musk, her tail-hole gaped a little now that the big toy had been removed, and a little of Thunderlane's seed leaked from her passage. She shifted her plot, feeling the fullness of her overstimulated vagina, gripping down on the toy still inside it. When she saw Thunderlane stepping toward her with the leash, however, she couldn't take it anymore. "Meow meow meow. I… I can't take this. Being punished is… is one thing." She sniffed a little, a single sob. "But I don't want to go out in public like—" Startled, unable to continue, Twilight felt two sets of forelegs wrap tightly around her. "What are you doing?"

"You understand how terrible it would have been for Fluttershy, now." Thunderlane ignored the mess he was making of his own fur. "Think how it would feel if I just ignored that safe word, took you out anyway."

"Safe words are everything. Do you think I could really put myself through this if I didn't have a way of telling Master to stop?" Rainbow Dash didn't care about the mess either, but for a different reason. "Twilight, you need to clean up, go home, and tomorrow you are going to visit Fluttershy and talk about this. Tell her what you went through, what we did to you."

"You planned this?" Twilight looked from one pegasus to the other, and back. Despite how messy and horrid she felt, their cuddles were appreciated. "I… when did you…"

"I figured out what he was doing right away. After all, you have never known what it was like, so you needed to learn." Dash nuzzled the mess under Twilight's mouth, the matted fur there perfect to mark her own cheeks. "This wasn't your first time, was it?"

"It wasn't." Thunderlane reached a hoof past Twilight, rubbing the wet patch on Dash's cheek. "I am not sure who the lucky stallion was, but if I find out he treated you less than honorably, I will hunt him down."

Twilight blushed at the archaic thought, but it felt nice to have a connection. "He was gentle, and it felt nice… not… not as nice as you were… in a rough way…" Her blush just got worse and worse. Flash was gentle, but I don't think I like gentle. The thought made things worse, Twilight's cheeks now a rosy red under her fur.

"Go on, clean up, go home and relax." Thunderlane drew back slowly from the Princess. He waited for Rainbow Dash to let go as well, before striking Twilight firmly on the plot. "And you can return the toy whenever you want."

The smack got Twilight's hooves moving, and made her back-end shift in a way that squeezed the toy more. "I might… I might have some uses for it. I won't keep it long, though." She walked slowly to the stairs, not realizing how much her plot swayed.

The moment the alicorn was out of the basement both Thunderlane and Rainbow Dash seemed to slump a little. "Oh buck I wish she was a bottom." Thunder leaned in and kissed Rainbow.

"As much fun as it was having her play with me," Rainbow kissed the stallion back, "I have made my choice, and I am wearing your collar for a reason, ya big dummy."

The admission had Thunder wrapping a foreleg around Rainbow. "C'mon Stripes, the leash is for you. We are going for a walk. Your friend is breaking up inside, and it is partly my fault. So come on, you need a wash, and there is a princess in my bathroom." He had no problem at all clipping the leash onto Dash's neck.

"Bark." Rainbow nuzzled against Thunder, wagging her tail and quickly trotting along beside him, all the way to the door. Trotting up the stairs, she pricked her ears at the sound of the bath running in the house.

"Let's not intrude on royalty, Stripes." Thunder tugged the leash, leading Rainbow to the front door. "Keep at heel, pet." Thunder stepped outside and pulled the door closed behind him. He was so happy that the leash leading to his musky and matted pet was slack, of course he was deliberately not paying any attention to her.

"Hi Thunder, Rai—" Silverwing landed beside the two. "Sorry, Stripes." The grin on the off-gray stallion's snout certainly had meaning to it. "Just out for a walk? Was that stuff I helped you with good?"

"Yeah, taking her for a walk to Fluttershy's place, going to wash her down. I don't know what she gets into, but it sure is distinctive…" Thunderlane reached a hoof to rub at one of Dash's ears. "How are you handling the increased work-load?"

"With the… uh… boss, using up her holiday time, we are a bit short. Dealing with it." Without a doubt, Silverwing was focused intently on Rainbow Dash. He had fantasized about his boss many times, seeing her acting all submissive was enough to make him squirm, knowing that she had drunk some of his semen had him actually getting hard. "So, you need another… uh… lot?"

"You know what, Silver, yeah we do. But we need a lot." Thunderlane could tell a horny stallion when he saw one, "like knows like" after all. "If you can get me a half a bucket by the end of next week, I am sure I can find a use for it." He looked intently at Rainbow. "Make sure you have enough, though."

Silverwing's eyes went wide. "Uh, yes sir!" Now he was an "at attention" stallion, at attention. "End of next week… I am going to need to work on that…" After a flash of silver tail, Silverwing was gone, the only sign he had been there a musky wet patch on the grass.

"Bark bark bark." Dash nuzzled Thunder's side. "I have never seen that colt get so excited to do something. Buck, if all I needed to do, to get him to work, was flash my plot…" She left her thought unfinished. "You know the idea of offering me to other stallions is… it is hard for me to like."

"Well good. I am glad I actually have something to hold over you. Stripes, you are the most permissive pet I have ever had. I… I used to hold the whole marking thing over mares in the past, they would scream their safe words rather than let me dress them in my musk." 

Rainbow squinted at Thunder. "So why did you try to drive me off with it?" She moved automatically when Thunderlane did, her body an extension of his own.

"I wasn't trying to drive you off, I was trying to put you in your place and take a little control." Thunder shook his head. "And rather than balk and beg me to be 'nice,' you dove head-first into every depraved act I could think of. If you hadn't used your safe word when I tried to clip your wings, I don't know what I would have done. Probably used your word myself."

"You would use my word to not do something to me?" Rainbow had never thought something like that could ever sound romantic, but right then her heart sped up, her belly groaned and some muscles in her plot tightened a little. If she weren't at heel, she would have pounced Thunder. "You make me… I love you." Rainbow felt her insides clench a little more. I said it, really said it.

"And I love you too, Rainbow Dash. But I want Stripes back for now." Thunderlane ignored the mess and kissed Rainbow Dash on the snout.

"Bark." Rainbow lifted her tail high, prancing along at Thunder's side. Everything felt better to the mare. Soon enough, they were trotting down the path to her best friend's house, and at last right up to the front door.

Thunder lifted his hoof and knocked, then waited. And waited. He knocked again.

"Please, um, if it isn't too much trouble… go away." It was the softest, cutest little demand to "bug off" ever. 

"Fluttershy." Thunderlane hoped his voice might have an effect. He heard a soft "eep" and slowly, the upper half of the front door opened. "Fluttershy, I am sorry." She stared at him in surprise. "You were in my care, and a bad thing happened. So I am here to offer you some help."

Rainbow looked at her friend, and dearly wanted to dive in and give her a big hug and growl at anypony that came near the house, but she was in her role and trusted Thunder to handle this.

"I don't… I just want to lay down." Fluttershy looked out of sight of her two visitors, to the big tub of ice-cream sitting on the kitchen table—half empty.

"You don't want to spend the rest of the day cleaning your little friends with me? I know I brought one that is filthy, and needs a wash." Thunder gestured to Rainbow. He saw indecision in Fluttershy's eyes, then saw it slowly melt as she looked at Dash. Fluttershy opened the bottom half of the Dutch door.

"O-Okay." Fluttershy reached a wing out to her friend. "How are you… how are you doing, Stripes?" Even just touching Rainbow meant that she got some mess smeared on her wing.

Rainbow leaned up into the wing, nuzzling and snuggling into it; the little moment she had shared with Thunder earlier had her in an oddly cuddly mood. A click sounded before Dash even saw Thunder's hoof move, and like that she was off the leash. She leaned into Fluttershy more, nuzzling and rubbing against her.

"She really loves to play, doesn't she?" Fluttershy's mood was rising by the minute with her best friend so excited. "Oh my, she is really boisterous!"

"Stripes, calm down a bit." Thunder lifted a hoof to Rainbow's withers and tried to stop her bouncing around Fluttershy. "Sorry about her, we might have gotten a little sappy on the way here."

Fluttershy's eyes went wide. "Oh, s-s-sappy? As in…" Without a bouncing Rainbow Dash, she was able to get a bucket of water, a pair of brushes, and some soap.

"Well, we had a little talk about boundaries, and her lack of them… well, except for one. She wants to be mine, and only mine." Thunderlane took one of the offered brushes and started on Rainbow Dash's shoulder.

I want to be his too. Fluttershy blushed at the stray thought, then looked at her friend. "I want to be yours too." Why did I say it out loud? They are both staring at me! I am going to— Her inner voice was cut short as she got a wet, musky kiss from Rainbow Dash. Her eyes widened, her thoughts halted, and Fluttershy slowly melted into the kiss. The first flash of neurons started again, and with her lips being poked by her best friend's tongue, she thought, This is really nice.

"I think at least one of us is really okay with this idea." Thunderlane brushed down Rainbow's shoulder and side. "And I know I enjoy playing with you, but what do you want from this, Fluttershy? What do you want out of us." He gestured to Rainbow, himself, and then to her.

Fluttershy had to pull back from Dash, from the kiss. "What do I want?" She walked down the length of the mare being cleaned, and started brushing her flank. "I really like the petting, and—"

"No, I know you like those things." Thunder smiled. "I mean, apart from being the cutest kitty ever, what do you want from us?" He started on Rainbow's multicolored mane.

"I want a little… I like my space." Fluttershy relaxed the part of herself that censored her words. She had done it before, did it regularly when somepony needed a good telling-off, but she almost never did it when she was talking about this kind of thing. "So when the games are over, I want to go home if I want to. But that said I… I would like to go on some dates. I want to get to know you better, Thunder."

"Casual, but growing. Rainbow wants things a little heavier. She loves having whole days go by as Stripes, but her holiday leave is almost over. Then the Wonderbolts training restarts in a few months, which is going to mean my pet is going to be busy busy busy." Thunder ran the soft brush down Rainbow's face, waiting for her to close her eyes before bringing it all the way down to her snout. "So, we will start with a date, Saturday night. Stripes has the night to herself, to remember what it is like sleeping in a bed without a spreader-bar on."

Fluttershy giggled at the mental image, then her memory provided the real image, and she giggled again. The thought of her friend having to "readjust" to being a pony was just odd enough as to distract her from the thought… for ten heartbeats. I have a date! She shook a little, then looked at Thunderlane, at his confidence, at his raw… "stallionness." She trembled more, but in a lot nicer way. I remember how he felt, inside me. I want that again, but I want… more. "Thank you, Thunderlane. When should I be ready?"

"Be ready just after lunch. We are going to take the train to Canterlot, and I am going to take you to the most fancy restaurant I can find." Thunderlane watched Fluttershy look a little worried. "I will be there with you, Fluttershy." He reached a hoof over Dash's back and set it on Fluttershy's foreleg. "Would you rather slow? Maybe just sandwiches in the park?" 

Fluttershy shook her head. "No! I mean, I would love to do that, too. I always wanted a big, handsome stallion to whisk me away, to…" she blushed, "woo me. I guess in order for that to happen, I need to go to those whisked places."

"Then let me whisk." Thunderlane leaned forward, over Rainbow, and held out his lips for Fluttershy. Her lips were soft, hesitant. He didn't put any pressure on her until he saw her eyes flutter closed. Leaning a little, he pushed his tongue forward, parting his lips, daring her to do the same.

Giving a happy sigh, Fluttershy felt more of her "silly, teenage ideas" click into place. A big, handsome stallion, kissing me. She opened her lips and let her jaw relax. His tongue pushed in, struggled a little at her teeth, but got those to part and he was inside her mouth. Long, slow licks ran up each side of her mouth, stroking her cheeks, tasting her. The world fell down, or so it felt to Fluttershy, she could barely even register Rainbow Dash as being there.

"Buck this is hot…" Rainbow had moved out from between the two, sitting off to the side. "Oh, hey Angel."

The disgruntled bunny looked on as Fluttershy and Thunderlane kissed. He thumped his leg a few times, but rather than the instant attention that usually got from Fluttershy, he was shocked to see her ignore it.

"Hey, you hungry?" Rainbow, her fur having dried from the incomplete washing, walked toward Fluttershy's house. "Let me see what I can find us both to eat, I think they are going to be a bit—"

"Stripes, come back." Thunderlane had one of his sore wings around Fluttershy, hugging the mare to his side. "And bring Angel, if he has been within ten feet of you, he probably needs a wash too."
> Always Late
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fluttershy waved goodbye to Thunderlane and Rainbow Dash. Looking down and to her right, she smiled at Angel. "You got on better with Rainbow than you ever have before." The gentle breeze picked up her mane and sent it streaming. "Maybe we could invite her over to play again?"

Lifting his head to look at Fluttershy, Angel Bunny squinted, gave a sigh, then bounced off toward their house.

"No?" Fluttershy giggled a little. "I know she has never been a wild animal, but she really likes just being a cute puppy." Following the bunny, Fluttershy thought she heard a hint of a gasp in the distance. She pondered it a moment, then closed her door behind her.

"You have a date?" Rarity's voice sounded close, really close.

Opening the door a crack, Fluttershy blinked at her friend standing just outside. "Um, yes?" Magic lifted Shy up, her wings flicking out wide in shock as her friend carried her to her table. "Rarity…?"

"Darling this is great news! I must make you the greatest dress ever. You will see, you will be the belle of the ball!" Rarity had her measuring tape out, having set Fluttershy on top of the table, and was checking her dimensions.

Fluttershy blushed and tried to hide her head, an impossible act when she was standing on the table. "I was just going to wear the—"

"Oh no, no no no darling. You simply cannot wear the same thing you have before. This is an occasion," the way Rarity said the word dripped with meaning, "you must be your best. Oh, I need to book the whole spa out, and get a mane stylist…" Rarity paused, partly for breath, but also she narrowed her eyes a touch. "How good has your brother gotten?"

"Zephyr? I don't think I want—" Once more, Fluttershy was cut off by her friend.

"No, of course not. I will get my stylist from Manehatten, Swirly Mane is the best stylist in Equestria, and we can't have anything but the best." Rarity levitated her little notepad up, writing down measurements and instructions both; if there was one thing she and Twilight both really believed in, it was a good list.

"Rarity." Fluttershy said the word as loud as she could, given that she wasn't actually angry with her friend. "I just want a quiet night, it is just a first date…" Even saying it made the little filly inside Fluttershy—like in every mare, it was the one who always wanted to grow up and be a princess—jump around and fluff her wings in excitement. "It's a date… with a cute stallion…"

"Oh dear." Rarity had only just teleported her fainting couch from her home in time to catch Fluttershy. She smiled and opened the little drawer on the end, retrieving the smelling salts. "Come on, wake up darling." 


~~~~~+++++~~~~~


The sound of a rooster crowing stirred Fluttershy from bed. She folded back the covers and climbed out, stretching each leg as she did. Yawning, she smiled at the yellow mare in her mirror. Mussed up mane and tail aside, she liked how she looked, and particularly liked how her little collar looked. "Oh, what is this?" She stepped toward the long, full-length mirror, and plucking the paper off it with a wing-tip. 



Fluttershy: Don't forget, date is today, get up early and meet Rarity at the spa.

—Fluttershy



There was a moment when she was still calm, when her legs were steady, her wing holding the paper. Then all the information sank into place and Fluttershy slumped to the floor. "It's today! It's today!" She bounced to her wobbling legs and raced downstairs.

"Hey, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash had an assortment of animal plates on the kitchen table, along with an assortment of animals gathered around it. "You need to move it if you are going to meet Rarity before she gets in a huff." Dash carefully measured out each amount of food.

Fluttershy froze in her tracks and watched her friend. "You were never this good at dealing with my little friends before…" She narrowed her eyes and squinted, then realized what was going on. Standing in the middle of the table was Angel Bunny, glaring at all the other animals. "Angel, what are you doing?"

"He is helping me make sure that you don't have to worry today. We have a truce." Rainbow Dash didn't dare to attempt to pet Angel, but the pair nodded to one another. "Now go, before Rarity comes here and yells at me for making you late."

Looking between Dash and Angel, Fluttershy wasn't sure what to do about them. If either had been on their own, she might be able to find out what they were about. "Okay…" Turning, Fluttershy made her way to the door and left her cottage.

Rainbow almost slumped. "I owe you big-time, Angel." She looked at the grinning face of the bunny. Gulping, she returned to preparing all the breakfast bowls. "There is going to be brushing later, isn't there?" The bunny nodded to her, smiling wider.

The sound of songbirds assaulted Fluttershy, the world seeming to have woken itself up as normal. "Good morning." She smiled wide and started trotting toward town; despite her friend's warning, she wasn't in any great hurry to get to the spa. 

Rarity was laying back in a relaxing chair, her face caked with special mud, while waiting for her friend. The moment the front door of the spa opened, she snapped her eyes open to behold Fluttershy. "Finally!" She was on her hooves in an instant, trotting toward her friend. "Where have you been, Darling? We have so much to get through before your prince steals you away to Canterlot…" Rarity closed her eyes, striking a pose; she was so captivated in the scene that she missed what Fluttershy said.

Fluttershy blushed a little, looking away demurely. "Uhm, all I need is—"

"Fluttershy? We can finally get started, yes?" Aloe gazed at her customers. "Your gentlepony-friend dropped this off," she held up a small box, "said you should see it before starting." She held it out, presented, towards Shy. "Miss Rarity has planed a big morning for you."

"I-I know." Fluttershy took the small box and opened it. "Oh my!" The exclamation was enough to get Rarity's attention, the mare stepping over to look.

"Darling, I am not sure where he found this, but that is exquisite." Rarity's eyes were glued to the gold-trimmed collar in the little box. Avarice flared briefly, but was tempered by her spirit into curiosity. "May I?"

"Oh… yes please." Fluttershy felt so eager, she tingled in excitement at the thought of a new collar from Thunderlane, and definitely didn't mind that her friend would put it on her in his stead. Holding still, she waited until she felt Rarity's dainty magic unfasten her old one. Anticipation blended with an odd feeling of nakedness. I am so used to wearing it…

Rarity set the old collar—the one she had given to her friend—to the side and lifted the new one. She almost dropped the strap when she saw gems glitter around the edges of it. "Are those dark onyxes?" Her heart fluttered in excitement as she lifted it up to her friend's throat.

As the collar pulled around her neck, Fluttershy closed her eyes, imagining that it was Thunder putting it on. The soft click had her voice catch in her throat.

"Well that is odd." 

Her friend's voice snapped Fluttershy from her daydream. "What is odd?" She felt an edge of worry sink in.

Rarity stepped up beside her friend, eying the collar. "It fastened, and clicked, but I don't think there is a catch to unfasten it. It must be some kind of lock." As soon as she said it, realization hit Rarity. Of course it is a lock, it might be jewelry, but it is still a collar.

Fluttershy trembled in bliss at the mere thought of the collar being locked in place. Calm down, Fluttershy, this only makes you his in the bedroom, he needs to prove himself, today. The concept seemed new, but the words made sense to her, so Fluttershy still let herself feel a measure of bliss. "I guess he will have to show me how to take it off." Fluttershy stood tall, even though she was still mussed up from laying in bed. "Aloe, where are we starting?"

Left staring after her friend, as Aloe led Fluttershy into the spa, Rarity shook her head and started after them. That is a new side of Fluttershy, I have never seen her so confident, even when she was getting those… lessons. "Thank you." Rarity said the words automatically as she was passed a towel, following Fluttershy into the steam-room. Settling on a bench, Rarity set her towel down and sprawled out on it, literally rolling onto her back.

"Rarity!" Fluttershy could see everything, her friend had tucked her hooves up and was openly on display.

"This is all the rage now, Fluttershy darling, it helps the steam get where it is needed." Rarity relaxed utterly. "Now we are alone, you must tell me about him. How did it all go? What is the deal with Rainbow Dash? What does he mean to… well, to both of you?"

As her mind flickered to both Thunderlane and Rainbow, Fluttershy gave a happy sigh and lay down on her side. "Rainbow Dash feels… we were always friends, even as foals, but now we are closer." Memories of how close they had each been caused Shy to blush. "And Thunderlane…" 

Rarity heard the way her friend said the stallion's name. "That much?" She looked down her body at her friend. "He must be quite the colt to keep two pegasi satisfied?"

"He is, he knows what we want, what we need. He doesn't hold back from giving it to us. This date…" It really is a date! Fluttershy giggled. "This date is him wanting there to be more between us."

"And you don't mind sharing him?" Rarity's words had a sharp inflection, she really was curious. "I don't know if I could share a stallion with any mare."

Snapped from her little daydreams, Fluttershy tittered at a thought. "What about sharing a stallion with another stallion?" The concept tickled her, but the little tingle of curiosity was nothing compared with how Rarity reacted.

"What?!" Rarity fell off the bench, shook her head, then glared at Fluttershy. "But then they would be… I would be…" She trailed off. "That is different!"

"Is it?" Fluttershy had felt the efforts of both Rainbow Dash and Thunderlane, not in equal measure, but she definitely didn't turn away from her friend in the bedroom—or basement. "Why?"

"Well… If there… With two…" Rarity was blushing up a storm, that the steam-room was thankfully covering. "Ahem. A lady would not—"

"Cheater." Fluttershy felt relaxed, calm, and more than a little piqued. "I told you all about us, but you won't tell me about a hypothetical pair of stallions?" She was surprised at herself, with how far she had come. Maybe those moments with Thunderlane… with Master, are the reason?

Rarity gave a little harrumph. "Very well then, Fluttershy." She rolled back up onto the bench, laying on her belly, legs tucked under her. "If you must know, I am sure any extra stallions that were in my boudoir, would be quite welcome."

Fluttershy gave up. "You know what, Rarity? Sometimes a mare likes being with another mare." Memories of making Dash cry out into Thunderlane's shaft as she ate her out, stirred warmth in Shy's body. "When you dressed me for—"

"That was different." Rarity gave her head a little shake. "We weren't doing anything sexual at all!"

Just at that moment, Aloe opened the door and leaned in. "Time for your bath, then mane-style." She closed the door once more, leaving both mares to get ready. Gathering their towels, both Rarity and Fluttershy headed out of the steam-room, following Aloe. "Your guest arrived moments ago, Miss Rarity."

"Wonderful. Oh Fluttershy, you will see, Swirly Mane will work wonders with your mane. I will leave you to get that done, and fetch your dress." Rarity was glad to have the confusing conversation behind them, particularly since she was sure Fluttershy seemed to have the upper hoof in it—somehow. "I will see you both again soon."

Fluttershy was treated to a wonderful bath, and soon was laying on a low couch, a strange stallion examining her mane.

"This is amazing, fabulous!" Swirly walked around Fluttershy, primping her mane into different poses. "Oh, Fluttershy was it?" He waited for a nod from the shy mare. "Well, Fluttershy, I can tell you really take great care of your mane. It is soft, full of bounce, and I could literally do anything with it!" 

"Oh… uh… thank you." Fluttershy's words got softer and softer as she spoke, unsure of herself now her friend was gone. "I just want it… nice."

"I am under orders, you understand?" Swirly tossed his own perfectly-done mane to one side as he looked into Fluttershy's eyes. "When Rarity sends a message, telling me that her best friend is going on her first date with a very special pony, I couldn't resist coming. But she made me promise to make you look spectacular."

"So—" Swirly was about to continue, when he caught sight of Fluttershy's collar. "Is that… mark my stars, is that a genuine, one-of-a-kind Bridlecolt collar?" He gasped. Of course Swirly could see all the markings that signaled it as the real thing. "I had heard he was working on something new, but to see it…" He floated a little fan out of his kit bag, and began fanning himself.

"Is… is that something special?" Fluttershy's curiosity had the better of her. She really wanted to look at the collar now, and got the chance when her stylist floated a mirror over. "Oh, thank you."

"See the imprinting on the gold-work? The little etchings on each gem? Whoever your stallion is, he quite literally has the best taste in accessories… and mares." Swirly couldn't help giving the compliment. "Now, this changes everything."

"It does?" Fluttershy was a little confused.

"Of course it does!" Swirly used his magic to gather up all that lovely pink mane. "You simply must wear your mane up, show off every inch of that collar."

"I… but…" 

"Make sure that stallion sees it all, if you catch my drift." Swirly was already working his—literal—magic. "I promise you, that when he sees your throat fully circled with that, he will be unable to say a single word for a full minute."

The thought of Thunderlane enjoying just looking at her, contented Fluttershy, and the way the stylist spoke reassured her. "Okay." It was easy to slip into a daze, when somepony was working on her mane. She closed her eyes, accepting the mudpack when Aloe brought it in, Fluttershy settled and let the time pass. Swirly moved on to her tail, and she felt him braiding it, working the huge length into a tight, but not pinching, mass. 

"Darling, I have the dress!" Rarity trotted into the main section of the spa, and froze. "Oh my sweet Celestia…" 

"When Rarity is lost for words," Swirly began, "you know something truly amazing is present." He put the finishing touches on Fluttershy's tail, while Rarity shook off her shock.

Shaking her head, Rarity presented the dress. "You need to get it on quick, Thunderlane is on his way here. I sent Rainbow Dash to slow him down, but she didn't sound very confident that she could."

Fluttershy's wings raised in alarm. "Oh… oh!" She was acutely aware of the mudpack. "Aloe!" Her cry summoned the spa pony instantly. It was a rush, but expertly done. Aloe had the mudpack removed, Fluttershy's face washed, and then dried again. "Thank you."

Aloe just bobbed her head in delight, her cheeks glowing. "Always a pleasure." She backed away, washbasin in tow.

Rarity started pulling the dress over Fluttershy, fastening it where needed, fitting and plumping it up elsewhere. It was a mixture of yellow that matched the pegasus' fur, along with gold-thread that really lit the outfit up. "Hold still, I almost have—"

Fluttershy felt when her friend fastened the last strap that secured the dress. It hugged her form perfectly, and when she took a step, the dress moved with her, pressing against her, showing itself and her off together. "Rarity, this is fantastic!" 

"I agree." Thunderlane stood in the doorway of the spa, his eyes locked on just one mare. Wearing the finest suit he could get, he held out a hoof and half turned. "I can't believe how…" Words failed him, his eyes saw the collar. Thunderlane knew his mouth was hanging open, that he was staring, but as Fluttershy came closer and closer, his malady only deepened.

Walking right up beside Thunderlane, Fluttershy looked into his shocked eyes. "What do you think?" In answer, she got a kiss.
> La Perfection
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thunderlane tried to find words, but Fluttershy was too overwhelming. Each moment he thought he would be able to string a whole sentence together he would catch a glance at her again and be stopped dead.

Her effect on Thunder was not lost on Fluttershy. With Rarity, Swirly, and the spa ponies having worked on her she knew she would look good, but the expression Thunderlane wore seemed to go further than that. "Um…" The train rattled a little as it carried them to Canterlot. "Thunder, are you alright?"

Hearing the worry in Fluttershy's voice, Thunderlane cleared his throat and nodded. "Yeah I just…" He snapped his head away so he might have a hope of building a sentence. "You look amazing. That dress, your mane, my collar." He trembled at the thought of the loop around Fluttershy's neck. "I can't believe how lucky I am."

Shy moved a little closer to Thunder, their flanks touching. It's alright if our flanks touch, this is a date, and I love him. She blushed when their combined warmth soaked their fur and Fluttershy's dress. "This really means a lot to me, but when we get home I want some petting." She blushed, but smiled through it; she already imagined a brush running through her fur.

Thunder recognized the look on Fluttershy's face. He leaned in—pressing against her through the dress and inhaling the mix of scents. Shampoo. Fur wash. He couldn't smell himself on her at all. "Our date will be perfect, but when I get you home I am going to spend an hour running a brush through every inch of your fur, mane, and tail. But Fluttershy," Thunder waited until she gave a little eep, "then I am going to buck you until you can't walk."

The dominance, and the surety that Thunderlane would do everything he promised, would normally have made her legs wobble—Fluttershy was so glad she was laying down. But this wasn't the time to submit; much as she wanted to. "Th-Th-That is for later." She couldn't keep her eyes from Thunderlane's. "For now you are my coltfriend."

Taking a deep breath, Thunderlane nodded and relaxed. "I am certainly that, Fluttershy." With his dominant side poking in from the sidelines, he was at least confident enough now to talk to Fluttershy. "We are not far from the station." He looked into her eyes and closed his. The kiss started hesitantly, but the moment she touched his lips with her own a fire ignited between them. He struggled not to let his possessive side out again.

It was so daring, but the way Thunder had looked was an invitation to kiss him. Fluttershy felt her wings ruffle a little on her back; they were restrained by the dress, and she was sure that if she didn't have it on they would be stretched up high. Love, submission, companionship, and passion all played a part in the kiss, and it lasted all the way until the train jolted and slowed to a stop.

"We need to get off the train." Thunder's lips were still pressed to Fluttershy's, he was almost giggling as he murmured the words past their union.

Fluttershy almost laughed back. "Where is the train going next?" 

"Crystal Empire. Do you know anypony there?" Thunder realized that the way they were going they would miss their reservation, although the prospect of a long, slow train ride with Fluttershy was a nice one. Standing up and breaking the kiss, Thunderlane held out a hoof to her. "Come on, before I haul you away to the Crystal Empire and ravish you."

Laughing, Fluttershy used the leverage of Thunder's hoof to pull herself up and start a slow trot to the back of the car. It felt bold, and forward, but she really wanted this date to go well. When she turned to look back, Thunder was almost right beside her. 

Just as they reached the door the train started to pull off again, Thunderlane and Fluttershy both laughed with excitement as they jumped from the carriage and landed on the platform. Without her wings, Fluttershy had a little trouble keeping her balance in the dress, but a strong leg steadied her. "Thank you."

"You are always welcome. Come on, we have a date to enjoy." Thunder trotted from the platform with what he was sure was the most beautiful mare in Canterlot at his side.

Fluttershy was finally on the date she had always wanted. She had a handsome stallion at her side and was wearing a dress that made ponies stop and stare. If it were any other situation she would be cowering and hiding from the attention, but nothing was going to ruin her date—not even her.

"Are you okay, Fluttershy?" Thunderlane saw a slight stiffness in her step, in the way she moved. "Something is. What's wrong?" He stopped and looked at her, trying to catch Fluttershy's eyes with his own, but she kept looking away. He finally reached a hoof up and just touched her collar. "Fluttershy, tell me what is wrong so I can fix it."

With the hoof resting on her collar, Fluttershy froze and stared back at Thunderlane. "It feels like everypony is staring at me and I really want this to work and it is making me panic…" With each word her voice got softer and softer, and she noticed Thunder's ears perking directly at her.

"Commanding you won't help." Thunder rubbed the collar slowly, using the gesture to hide how he was gently petting her throat. "And you really want this date, don't you?" He watched her head tilt very slightly up and down. "Then there is nothing else for it. Guards!"

The shout, even with Thunderlane turning his head away from her, startled Fluttershy. She hadn't realized how much that little petting had calmed her. Four big stallions tromped up to them in short order, and Fluttershy found herself half-hiding behind Thunderlane.

"What's the matter?"

Thunderlane sighed dramatically. "Oh thank you for helping. I was escorting Fluttershy—Element Bearer to the Element of Kindness—to her dinner-date at Maresier's, and I fear she needs a little more guarding than just one stallion can give." It was a matter of pride; he gave up some to preserve Fluttershy's. Thunder looked between the four armored stallions. 

Four gasps ran around the big stallions. The one that spoke up first straightened to within an inch of his life and looked the very pinnacle of what the Royal Guard stood for. "Of course we can help. Squad, form up honor guard!"

Fluttershy would have startled back in shock, but Thunderlane was at her side. She looked into his eyes and saw the support she needed to move when the Guard shouted for them to "move out." She was sure there were still eyes on her, ponies staring, but she couldn't see them now thanks to the big stallions that loomed around her.

"Are you alright now?" Thunderlane leaned across to nuzzle Fluttershy's neck gently. Now he could smell his own scent there, slightly, just from his hoof rubbing her soft fur. It filled him with more confidence than it should, and reminded the dominant part of himself that she was his, and all the guarding in Equus didn't matter to that.

Fluttershy realized she was and leaned into the nuzzling a little more. "I am, thank you." Her guard detail turned and guided her like an arrow to its target. 

Stopping, the Royal Guard ponies fanned out and snapped a salute. "Always a pleasure, ma'am!"

Fluttershy felt herself shrinking, getting smaller and smaller until a slight touch at her side reminded her of Thunderlane. She took a deep breath, and felt it inflate her to full size again. "Th-Thank you." It was all they needed, the four big stallions marching back off into the late afternoon. A hoof brushed her collar, stroking the larger of the gems and trailing down into her fur—it was enough to earn a relaxed purr from her throat.

"That's my mare." Thunderlane let the dominant out only long enough to inspire Fluttershy to react to it, then he put those needs aside again. "Shall we enter? They are waiting for us." Together they walked into the restaurant, an impeccably dressed mare just inside the front door turned her full attention on them. "Reservation for Thunderlane and Fluttershy."

"Of course." Parfait Equilibre didn't hesitate for a moment. Her light blue mane was slicked back, tail trimmed to within an inch of its life, and she wore a pure white shirt that matched her fur with a black suit-jacket over the top. "We expected your arrival and have been eagerly anticipating your desires." Her accent was thick Prench—real Prench, not a fake one—and her manner gave every indication that she could speak the language too. "Please, follow me, and welcome to Maresier's. I will be your host for the evening, Parfait Equilibre." As she turned, she gave Thunder and Shy a look at her cutie mark: a single perfect rose.

Walking at Thunder's side, Fluttershy soon found herself being offered a chair by Parfait. "Oh, thank you." She climbed up on it as it was slid forwards, which of course left her staring at Thunderlane over the table. 

"You are most welcome." Parfait ached to talk with the mare about her being "The Fluttershy" but she was nothing if not professional. They were guests of the restaurant, discussing things with them of a private nature went against everything she knew. "Would you like a beverage?" As always, Parfait gave the impression that they simply had everything.

Thunderlane's attention was pulled away from Fluttershy with great effort. He looked to Parfait and nodded. "Apple wine, if you could recommend anything?" He picked up the menu and scanned down the food. "And bring us one each of your best entrees, please."

Fluttershy blinked at the manner Thunderlane used to order, it made him sound confident, and covered for her having no idea what the food was. A little thought swept up in her, pondered if Thunder knew what anything was either.

"Of course. We have the house wine, imported from Prance itself." Parfait took her duty most seriously; she could tell neither pony had any experience with such foods or wines, but taking advantage of them—or worse, ridiculing them for that loss—would be terrible. "It is a wonderfully sharp wine, but if I may, something with a slightly dry aftertaste is the Chardoneigh."

"Perfect." Fluttershy was surprised when she spoke, but memories of the dry cider Applejack made led her decision-making. She looked at Thunderlane and saw an approving look on his face. "The Chardoneigh please."

When Parfait left, Thunders attention was completely on Fluttershy. He lost himself in her eyes; gazed into the blue-edged orbs until the slightest of distractions got his attention. A plate with a swirl of savory sauce around a little pile of salad had magically appeared in front of him; beside the table a bottle of wine sat in a cooler, opened, and two filled glasses were on the table. He had a moment to ponder how much he had been distracted to not notice Parfait opening a bottle of wine, but didn't care.

"Oh my, this looks delicious." Fluttershy reached to the array of forks, noticing one was slightly at an angle. Taking it in her hoof, she turned some leaves through the sauce and popped them into her mouth. "Mmm!'

Almost too distracted watching Fluttershy eat, Thunderlane idly reached for his glass of wine and sipped it. "Wow, that is really good." He found himself blushing at the sight of Fluttershy trying hers. He lost more time.

"I think he will have the same." Fluttershy looked at Thunder and almost found herself lost in his features. "The special ratatouille sounds perfect for both of us." She giggled a little. "Thunder? I ordered for us."

Addressed directly by the object of his infatuation, Thunderlane blinked a few times and came to. "Oh, uh, great." He watched the Prench waitress depart with their order, of which he had no idea. "What are we having?"

With the subdued environment of the restaurant, Fluttershy felt a little more bold. "It's a surprise." The wine helped too; she lifted her glass up and took another sip. "This is a little like Applejack's dry cider."

"Just remember, it's alcoholic like her hard cider, though." Thunderlane didn't want to press his curiosity at her food choice, but he did enjoy the slight blush Fluttershy got when reminded about the alcohol.

"Why is it so empty?" The thought suddenly hit Fluttershy, and just by asking it she realized how odd it was that such a nice place was literally only catering to them. She looked around and spotted Parfait unobtrusively watching them; Fluttershy waved to the mare.

"Well…" Thunderlane reached a hoof up and rubbed his head in embarrassment. "I booked our table, and they asked who my date was. I said your name and the pony almost fell over. I think they know you?"

Reacting to the wave and thinking it was a summons, Parfait made her way to the only active table for the evening. "May I be of service?" She smiled, happy to be catering to their needs.

"Um… yes…" Fluttershy tried to look at Parfait without staring, and without making eye contact. "It's just that, Thunder said you might know me and that could be why there aren't any other ponies here and…" Her voice trailed off in the face of scrutiny by somepony she didn't know well. 

"No madam." Parfait Equilibre bowed her head. "We know of you, however." Her accent was never so thick as it was then; her voice was thick with emotion. "It is just that you and your friends have saved Equestria so many times that to have the opportunity to give you something back was worth being a little quiet for an evening." She was positively babbling at this stage and lifted a hoof to daintily cover her mouth.

"Oh!" Fluttershy was surprised; all their time spent traveling around Equestria singly or as a group, and this was one of the few where they had not just been met with welcome, but actual praise. "Well, um… thank you!" She smiled so much her eyes closed, and she just knew she was blushing.

"It is a pleasure." On the verge of losing her cool and fan-fillying out, Parfait railed against the urge to fawn all over Fluttershy. "Please, if any of your friends would like a meal here, and it is to be a special occasion, let me know." She bowed again.

Thunder's face split into a grin and he looked at Fluttershy. "Are you thinking about who I am thinking about?" He quickly had a sip of wine.

"Rainbow Dash. She isn't really the date type, but she really should have her own." Fluttershy giggled at the thought of her friend in a dress for a whole evening. A warm feeling spread inside as she realized Rainbow Dash was technically more than a friend now. She always was.

Parfait froze and tried to track the conversation. Her ears perked about as far forward as was possible. Finally, she saw the expression on Fluttershy's face turn to that of a pony clearly in love. "Attends, attends…" She shook her head to pull herself out of speaking Prench. "You are in a… a relationship with Miss Fluttershy and Miss Rainbow Dash, Mr. Thunderlane? A… menage a trois?"

Thunderlane didn't want to say, not with the possibly of ruining the reputation of either of his mares. But he glanced and saw Fluttershy blush furiously and nod.

"Oh mon!" Parfait lifted her hoof up to fan herself. "Is this your first date?" When Fluttershy nodded, Parfait almost fainted. "You simply must bring her, all of you need to have a wonderful night together." Her special talent was almost burning her up with excitement.

"We couldn't do that…" Thunderlane looked to Fluttershy. "I can't believe how far you have gone for us alread—"

"Non… No, this will happen. To have the two most amazing pegasi in Equestria on a date with their special somepony…" Parfait's heart fluttered again. "Soon, please." And with that she spent every ounce of her self-restraint and walked carefully back to the kitchen to check on their meals.

"Well… I guess Rainbow can't say no, now." Thunderlane swirled the drink in his glass, glancing at it. "Will we need to trick her?"

"Oh no. The trick with Rainbow Dash is to just tell her it is already happening. Maybe you could do it while she… while she is playing." Fluttershy smiled, proud at her use of innuendo to hide the actual things they did. "Or maybe while I am brushing her?"

Thunder giggled at that. "Rainbow would agree to anything while you are caring for her. It totally wouldn't be fair to tell her like that, so we will." 

Fluttershy joined Thunderlane in giggling, just as their food came out. She looked at the plate and was salivating at the dish. A perfect circle of multi-colored vegetables ringed her plate, and in the middle was a flower-pattern made of the same with a single half of an egg; to her eyes and nose, was perfect. "I hope you like it." She smiled to Thunder.

"I am sure I will." Thunderlane carefully used a knife and fork to cut free a portion and eat it. He closed is eyes in culinary bliss. Both of them became silent, except for the soft clink of cutlery and little murmurs. A sip of wine here and there only added to the meal, and soon enough both ponies set their cutlery down and gave a happy sigh.

"You enjoyed your meals?" Parfait gathered up the plates and spent cutlery. "Perhaps a dessert?" Her eagerness to please carried through her voice, and she sensed something a little out of the ordinary from Thunderlane. Breathing deeply, she shrugged it off.

"Not for me." Fluttershy shivered at the look in Thunderlane's eyes; he looked hungry, but not for food. "We should probably be getting back. We need to catch the train to Ponyville again." But the look in Thunder's eyes changed, the hunger aimed right at her. "Don't we?"

"I have a room booked." Thunderlane reached for his glass and drained the last of it; his face tingled with the first hints of intoxication, and he knew he had to stop if he had any hope of taking care of Fluttershy as he intended. "A special room." He could feel his dominant side straining to break free, but he made sure it was aimed at Fluttershy. 

Parfait recognized all too well the look the two pegasi shared. "S'il vous plait," she was caught up in the moment, and almost dropped completely to her native tongue, "don't let us be in your way. Go monsieur, make her night magnifique." 

Thunderlane's attention turned to Parfait only briefly. "The bill?"

"Non, mon plaisir." Parfait bowed deeply. "There is no bill for the bearers of the Elements of Harmony."

Staring at Parfait, Fluttershy tried to object; she tried to come up with a way to insist they pay for the meal. "Th-Th-Thunderlane, we can't…" She looked at Thunder and melted. Her hooves moved all on their own and soon Fluttershy was pressed to his side.

"We will work this out later," Thunderlane leaned in close, his lips brushing Fluttershy's ears, "Softy." It only took the one word and she melted against him. "Come on, we are leaving. Tomorrow we will be back to discuss payment." The last he said while shooting a glance over to Parfait. 

Fluttershy was lost in the rush. Thunderlane guided her through the streets of Canterlot and right up to the Canterlot Castle itself. Her Master had a quick word with the guards and they were escorted in and to a room high in one of the towers. The guard was soon gone, and Thunder was leading her inside.

"On the bed. Softy." Thunderlane couldn't and didn't keep his dominant urges back any longer. Breathing heavily through his nose, he scanned the room and found what he wanted—what Fluttershy needed. 

Beginning the task of removing her amazing dress, Fluttershy barely got half the fastenings undone when the brush Thunderlane held found her mane. She let out a soft coo and closed her eyes. She didn't care about much of anything right then, except for getting the dress off so she could be brushed more. After more brushing, and a lot more happy little sounds, she finally got it off and rolled onto her back.

There was no resisting his urges; Thunderlane brought the brush down and stroked it along Fluttershy's belly fur, stroking again and again. "That was a wonderful night, Softy. I hope you had fun?"

Fluttershy didn't want to talk, didn't want to really think anymore. She was a cute pet and was getting brushed. She looked up blankly at Thunderlane's question and let out a soft little sigh of happiness.

Thunderlane kept the brushing up, but he had made another promise to Fluttershy, and he intended to keep it. Moving around behind her, he worked the brush over the soft, flat lower belly, and then thrust into her. 

"Mmmm…" Fluttershy rolled her head back, exposing every inch of her belly and neck to Thunder. He filled her completely, and though she wanted to kick, scream, and cry out his name in bliss, she was just a pet.

Keeping up with his thrusting, Thunderlane tried to keep the brush working through Fluttershy's fur. He bucked deep into her, his groin striking against her hips with each thrust. The smell of sex filled the room along with the sounds; it was perfect.

Looking up at Thunder made Fluttershy's head swim. She squirmed and trembled, and tried desperately to absorb every bit of the pleasure her Master was literally shoving into her. Unable and unwilling to last long, she felt the waves peak and whimpered out her release, clutching and milking at the shaft inside for all she was worth.

It was a perfect kind of agony for Thunder. He was being gripped so tightly by Fluttershy's body that it was a struggle to keep his motion up, and finally he lost himself completely.

Fluttershy was thrown into a second orgasm when the heat bloomed inside her. Thunderlane dropped down over her body and pulled her tight against him. She wrapped all four of her legs around Thunderlane's back and hugged him to herself. Inside her head, the little filly that had dreamed of being a princess in a castle, of going out on a date with a handsome stallion, cuddled up with the pet she adored being, and drifted off to sleep.

> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fluttershy's mind slipped slowly back, one part at a time. Her unconscious mind roused from its freedom of sleep and acknowledged nice things happening, things it could really enjoy. Then came her conscious mind, and Fluttershy felt the gentle tug of bristles through her mane. Words weren't needed, nor were they wanted; Fluttershy gave a soft little sigh of happiness at being woken in just about the best way she could imagine.

"Did you sleep well?" Thunder's wing was sore, but he was meant to be giving it some work, and brushing Fluttershy's mane was just about the best "work" he could ever dream of. He felt more than saw the slight nod 'Shy gave. "And what about everything leading up to—"

"It was wonderful!" Fluttershy couldn't keep back the giggle that bubbled up as she landed on top of Thunderlane. She lowered her belly down to his and pressed herself firmly onto his barrel. "From the moment I woke up until you wore me out." She could never have said the words—or acted so confidently—with anypony else. The realization told Fluttershy all she needed to know about Thunder. "Thank you."

"We will miss the train home if we spend too long in bed." Reaching up to rub Fluttershy's shoulders, Thunderlane rubbed his cheek against the mare's neck, felt the rub of her collar. "You really are like a cat. Mom had a big old tomcat, and once he chose somewhere to sit, he stayed sat. It didn't matter if that place was on my bed, on me."

"Meow." Fluttershy giggled playfully, and spreading her wings gave a little pump to lift herself up and off Thunderlane. "Do we have time for breakfast, or will we find something in Ponyville?" She suddenly blushed and looked around in a panic.

"Bathroom is over there." Thunderlane pointed to a doorway and smiled as the yellow and pink blur rushed from the room. "We can grab something to eat in Ponyville; maybe we could see Pinkie Pie and the Cakes for something sweet?"

Unable to believe how much "stuff" poured from her body, Fluttershy worked at cleaning herself up. "Oh, one of her double chocolate and strawberry muffins would be perfect!" Just the idea of the treat made her mouth water. She dried herself off and trotted back into the bedroom.

Thunderlane first spotted Fluttershy's eyes, and he was immediately entranced. Fighting against the magnetism of the mare's gaze, he traced down her gorgeous pink mane (that he had personally attended to for the morning), and finally found the collar around her throat—his collar. "Wow…"

Fluttershy blushed at the attention, and stood like a deer in bright light. She looked back at Thunder, and demurely lowered her eyes and walked up to him. She had seen where his eyes were locked, she knew where his thoughts lay. "Master." The whisper cemented her guess in his thoughts.

"We will never leave if you do that." Thunder leaned in and nuzzled at Fluttershy's ear. "Come on, Softy, we need to go now if I am going to taste a muffin today." He took her ear gently between his teeth and gave it a slight nibble.

A tingle ran all the way from Fluttershy's ear down her spine and under her tail. "M-M-Meow." She gave a happy sigh, and then looked at where her dress and Thunder's suit lay. She felt the urge to say something; she loved her dress, and adored seeing Thunder in a tuxedo.

"Don't worry, let's pack them up and take them home." Thunderlane had planned the evening and morning, going so far to have cases for their clothing sent to the room he had begged Princess Celestia for. Working his stiff wings, he opened the two pieces of luggage. "Was it really perfect, Fluttershy?"

Hearing her full name, Fluttershy was pulled from the calmness of her role, but it wasn't unwelcome. She thought about the question as she carefully put her dress in the bag. "It was, Thunderlane. It was the day I always dreamed of…" Fluttershy blushed. "Well… I didn't dream of the end bit, but that was perfect in other ways." She gave a nod of satisfaction and finished packing the dress away.

Thunder felt his heart beat just a little quicker. "Come on, I need to get you home so Rainbow can have a break." He trotted forward and opened the door with a stiff wing. 

"Thank you." Fluttershy fluffed her wings a little as she walked past Thunderlane, unconsciously swaying her hips in front of him. It was naughty, but fun. "Call me Softy, please."

Blinking at the request, Thunderlane didn't need to be asked twice. "Alright Softy, come on, we need to get to the train station. Bring your dress." He trotted along the big, stone hallway, confident that Fluttershy would be keeping up.

"How was your stay?" Celestia's voice caught both ponies off guard.

"I-I-It was wonderful, thank you, Your Highness." Thunderlane bowed as deeply as he was able.

Fluttershy just stared, unable to process that Princess Celestia was talking to them in a casual manner. In the past, Twilight always did the talking for their group when it came to Celestia. She knew she was locking up, she felt the fear of embarrassment seize up each limb, her mouth as well. 

"Is that a Bridlecolt?" Princess Celestia looked from Fluttershy to Thunderlane. "Somepony's coltfriend has wonderful taste." She smiled at the shocked expressions on both pegasi's faces. "Give Twilight my best, I hope you have a lovely day." She walked off.

Thunder was the first to pick his jaw up off the floor. "She… She knows what a Bridlecolt collar is?" He looked from the departing alicorn to Fluttershy. The situation almost faded from his thoughts before he shook his head. "Train first, Softy, then we can talk about collars." 

With her special name used, Fluttershy felt the wonderful relaxation return. She hadn't let this side of her out in public much, but Softy didn't care about anything but being a happy pet. She trotted along after Thunder without a worry in the world.

The ride back to Ponyville was filled with snuggling and nuzzles, and soon the pair were climbing onto the platform in their home town. 

"It's good to be home." Thunderlane stretched, his stiff and sore wings almost reaching full-stretch. "And look how wonderful the day is, Softy. Why don't we go for a walk in the park?" He looked around and caught the eye of a mailmare. "Derpy, can we leave these here?" He gestured to their bags.

"Sure!" Derpy was sorting mail, stuffing wads of letters into her saddlebags. "Uh, but I am going soon, make sure you come and pick them up!"

"Thanks, you're the best!" Thunderlane turned from Derpy and their luggage. "Now, where were we Softy?" Thunder stepped down off the platform. "Come on, don't lag behind. Maybe I should train you like I did Stripes?"

Fluttershy had seen that training first-hoof, had marveled at how easily Rainbow Dash knew how and where to walk with each step. She paused when a click sounded, and she looked towards Thunder to see him attaching a leash to her collar. "Meow?"

"Good filly." Thunder reached up with a wing and brushed Fluttershy's mane. "Come on, that tree over there looks perfect." A glance around had revealed no eyes that shouldn't see them, and so Thunder wanted to introduce Fluttershy to public sex. His mind reveled in the delight that "housebreaking" Rainbow had been, or simply screwing her while others watched. 

Trotting along at Thunder's side, Fluttershy slowed at the tree, as Thunder did. "Meow?" She looked at him, and saw a gleam in his eye that she recognized: her master wanted to play. She smiled wide and leaned into his body—rubbed herself along his flank.

"Over here, Softy." When Thunderlane had the mare's shoulder against the tree, he transferred the leash from his wing to his mouth. He didn't ask, and he didn't wait; Thunderlane reared up and mounted Fluttershy, yanking back sharply with his head.

Gasping with surprise at how forward Thunder was, Fluttershy's eyes widened as she was yanked back. Her tail swished to the side to make way just as her master's shaft kissed her vulva. Fluttershy pushed back sharply, wantonly. She didn't care that they were in public; she belonged to Thunderlane, and she wanted him to enjoy himself. The feel of his thick shaft impaling her felt just as wonderful as the previous night, more so because he was her master now. She pushed back again as he thrust forward. 

With Fluttershy determined to claim every inch of him, Thunderlane could hold back. He bucked and drove forward until his groin struck Fluttershy's rump. Hilted in his pet, Thunderlane's urges to use her increased to a point where he couldn't hold back. Adjusting the grip on her leash, he pulled back.

When her master thrust back into her, Fluttershy let out a little gasp of pleasure. She squirmed and shook, each of his strokes burning up her insides in absolute bliss. Fluttershy began to rock in time to Thunder's rhythm, she met his thrusts with a shove backwards, and pulled forward as he withdrew.

They were in perfect sync. Thunderlane couldn't begin to believe how lucky he was to have found one amazing mare, let alone two. As he drove into Fluttershy again and again, complex thoughts faded, replaced by a very animalistic one. She was his mare, and he was her stallion. Delivering three particularly sharp thrusts, Thunderlane felt the web of electric sensation over his balls.

Fluttershy heard her master groan and felt his shaft flare within her. She hadn't much experience, but with Thunderlane she knew what this meant. Bracing her shoulder to the tree, Fluttershy pushed back into the hard thrust just in time to feel the now-familiar flood of seed within.

Thunder heard Fluttershy's sudden squeal of pleasure as he unloaded, and yanked harder on the leash. His balls felt on fire with pleasure as they yanked upwards, his orgasm firing more and more of the hot semen deep into his pet.

I love this feeling. Fluttershy coasted on the waves of orgasm, but it was the fullness that really had her heart soaring. Thunderlane was so intimately within her, and had left more within her.  She shivered in bliss. "Meow…"

"Good filly." Thunderlane reached a hoof up and gently stroked Fluttershy's mane. "Should… should we go and see how Rainbow is doing?" He nuzzled into her neck, and rubbed his snout around her withers.

Fluttershy felt a bubbling happiness spread up through her, she squirmed around under her possessive stallion and couldn't stop the word spilling out, "Yay!" She lifted both forehooves and covered her snout in shock.

Without Fluttershy's forehooves supporting them, Thunder and his pet crashed to the soft grass in a pile. Their bodies disengaged in the fall, but both ponies were left laughing and rolling about. "It's okay, Fluttershy. I don't think I could punish you for that." He kissed Fluttershy on the tip of her nose. "I love you too much."

"I love you too." Fluttershy blushed from the tips of her hooves up to her ears. He said it! Then I said it! We both said it! She stared into Thunder's eyes, and kissed him back—properly.

"We really should go and find out how badly Rainbow is doing." Thunder kissed Fluttershy again, unable to stop returning the little kisses now that they had started. Back and forth they went, nuzzling and kissing, ignoring the world passing them by. "Alright, enough. We need to go and get some breakfast, get our things, and go and see how Rainbow has coped.

Fluttershy gave a little sigh. Rolling to her legs, she felt the first trickle from her vulva and eeped. Turning and lowering her tail, she sought to hide her embarrassment. 

"No, Softy. Show off how much I love you." Thunder kissed Fluttershy's cheek, and led her along by the leash. The moment he had used her pet name, she had seemed to relax. 

Neither of the pair knew it, but Thunder had hit his mark for the second time, and quickened the second mare he loved.
