Chapter 1
Cadance was an innocent filly. Being an alicorn, she possessed greater magical abilities than the average Adult unicorn. Being related to Princess Celestia, some regarded her with reverence. Others were suspicious of one so young with so much power. Even Cadance herself didn't fully comprehend the extent of her potential. She didn't want to be worshiped. She just wanted to be loved and live a normal life like anypony else.
It was important to her to be seen as an equal amongst the other ponies. She didn't want to end up like her cousin, Prince Blueblood. Although he got everything his heart desired, he was viewed by many as a stupid, spoiled brat. Even though she was royalty and had no need to work, Cadance knew that the best way to be accepted by ponies was to work amongst them.
Being just a filly, Cadance took a job appropriate for her age. She became a foalsitter for the more well-to-do unicorn families. It wasn't mere lip service paid to the young alicorn. Parents clamored for her services as a foalsitter. Being adept at magic, Cadance acted as a tutor and instructed young unicorns on basic spells.
Of all her foalsitting jobs, Cadance treasured her time spent with Twilight Sparkle the most. Never before had she seen a unicorn with more raw magical ability. She knew Twilight would grow up to impact the study of magic in a fundamental way. To ensure that her young charge lived up to her potential, Cadance had given Twilight's parents a pamphlet from her aunt's school for gifted unicorns. Twilight's mother, Dazzle, was unwilling to be separated from her baby at such a young age. Cadance didn't want her special friend to leave either, but she knew that with advanced magic, the lessons are best learned early.
It was late at night. Cadance watched the clock. "Where are they," she thought, "Dazzle and Orion should have returned by now." Cadance had put Twilight to bed long ago. Her older brother, Shining Armor, had also retired to his room. Trying to focus, Cadance returned to her homework. Sprawled in front of her were several diagrams and pages of notes. A book lay open in front of her, entitled "Parts of the Pony." Cadance was studying for a quiz in her health class tomorrow.
She blushed as she read over the parts that comprised a mare's reproductive organs. Embarrassed, she turned to another lesson.
Cadance was just starting to doze off, when the door swung open and Twilight's Parents staggered in, stinking drunk. Cadance stared at them in shock. "I-I put Twilight to bed," the young alicorn said, as she smelled the cider on their breath, "Shining Armor's also asleep."
"Thanks, Cadance," Orion slurred back, "Here's the bits we owe ya' plus shome extra for making ya' wait."
"We need to get to bed," Dazzle said, as she wobbled back and forth, "Go ahead and let yourshelf out." Cadance watched as the two inebriated ponies clumsily made their way down the hall until they reached their room.
Cadance shook her head as she gathered her books. She really didn't understand why anypony would want to get drunk. Among all her talents, Cadance cherished her keen mind the most. She winced at the thought of allowing anything to cloud her judgement. Cadance admitted that she shouldn't judge Twilight's parents too harshly. They weren't lushes, or anything. Tonight was one of their rare nights where they let go of their inhibitions. "What must that feel like," Cadance wondered, "to live for the moment?"
The front door locked behind her as Cadance stepped outside into the cool night air. She looked up and saw the Mare in the Moon. It made her shudder. Even though Nightmare Moon had been exiled for hundreds of years, all ponies still feared the night. "Luna, protect me this dark night," Cadance prayed, "May I find favor in thy sight."
She hadn't moved but a couple steps when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Oh no," She said, "I forgot my homework."
Laying on the arm of the couch in Orion's home lay the missing homework. Fortunately, Cadance knew where the spare key was hidden. Once she had gotten the door open, Cadance crept quickly and quietly to reclaim her homework. She turned to leave, when she heard sounds coming from down the hall.
Allowing her curious mind to get the better of her, the young filly silently moved towards the source of the sounds. The door to the parent's room was slightly ajar. Cadance could hear them moaning. As she looked in through the crack in the door, Cadance stared at the two ponies. Dazzle and Orion sad on their bed, locked in a passionate kiss. Orion stroked his wife's mane as their tongues explored the mouths of each other.
"Mmmm." Orion moaned, Cadance had never seen such raw, animalistic passion before. Her heart beat faster in her chest as she thought back to her heath class book and the natural mammalian reproduction lesson.
Dazzle broke the kiss. As she pulled her head back, a trail of saliva stretched between the lips of the two ponies. "I need you tonight." Dazzle said, as she repositioned herself leaning against the bed, Orion stepped down and turned to face his wife. Both their backs were turned towards Cadance as she watched, unable to look away.
Cadance watched Twilight Sparkle's parents have drunken sex. The young filly felt butterflies in her stomach. Secretly witnessing this intimate act stirred up feelings inside her. Cadance could feel her face becoming flushed. The things which the young filly had studied were playing out in front of her. "I shouldn't be watching this." Cadance thought, "I'm a princess. I should be held to a higher standard." In spite of this, Cadance lay there, unable to look away.
She imagined Orion was ravaging her. The young filly was a slave to the pull of her teenage hormones. Cadance craved Orion's touch.
Soon Twilight's parents stopped their lovemaking session, and were silent. "They must have finished," Cadance thought. Dazzle slumped over the bed, her hind legs dangling. Orion moved beside his wife and plopped onto the bed, immediately falling asleep.
Cadance closed her eyes as she pictured Orion bathing her body in kisses. "Oh, Orion," she moaned. She longed to be forever locked in his warm embrace. Her fantasies felt so real. "Aaaaah!" she screamed, unable to contain her filly passion.
Cadance lay there panting. Wondering if her scream had woken anyone. The filly tried to tune out the pounding of her heart as she listened for any signs of movement. Cadance wasn't worried about the parents. No. She listened for any sounds coming from the children's rooms. No movement. "They must be out, too." she thought, a wave of relief washing over her.
Closing the parent's door shut, Cadance quietly makes her way back down the hall.
As Cadance left the house, she took special care to grab her health class homework. Her brain didn't even attempt to process all of the new emotions and feelings she was experiencing. All Cadance could think of at the moment was that she felt confident that she would ace her health quiz tomorrow. What she could not have predicted was the profound and irrevocable change the events of tonight would leave on her psyche.
