//------------------------------// // Chapter Twenty Three: When Madness Flows // Story: That One Time: Celestia and Luna Married the Mane Six // by TheCrimsonDM //------------------------------// Chapter Twenty Three: When Madness Flows Written by TheCrimsonDM Normally Celestia would never leave any pony other than a trusted maid in her room alone. Seeing as how Rainbow Dash was her betrothed and just wanting a private place to hide in for awhile Celestia allowed her to stay in there unsupervised. For now it was time for her noon cake. Given the new guests in the castle she figured that there might be more ponies in the dining room for cake than just Pinkie Pie. If there was one thing she knew about Pinkie Pie it was that she was a fan of her cake. So if anypony was going to be there it obviously had to be her. As Celestia took a seat she watched Pinkie Pie sit next to Celestia. She beamed a smile up at her. “Hello, Celestia.” Celestia smiled. “Hello, Pinkie Pie. How are you enjoying the castle today?” Pinkie smiled as she picked up the piece of cake on her plate. “I’m loving it here! I just can’t wait.” “Wait for what?” Pinkie Pie made eye contact, those bright blue eyes promising things that Celestia dared not think about in too much detail. “Waiting to taste your cake.” She opened her mouth, her tongue shot out like a frog’s tongue wrapped itself around the piece of cake on her plate and sucked the entire piece back in with one bite. She swallowed. “Yum.” Somehow Celestia sincerely doubted Pinkie Pie was talking about eating the normal kind of cake. “I see…” Pinkie Pie looked away and back at the cake. “This is really good, you should give it a try!” Celestia had come down here for that exact purpose after all. Levitating a slice up to her lips she noticed something was different about this than usual. It seemed fluffier, the icing more delicately placed and it smelled even better than it ever had before. One small bite and it almost like Celestia was taken away to a different plane of existence. Her mouth watered as the vanilla flavor mixed in with something else, a hint of honey perhaps, no something sweet that she couldn’t quite define. Another bite and another delicious piece down. In a third powerful bite the piece was gone and she looked to the rest of the cake with hungry eyes.  Pinkie Pie gave a small laugh. “Seems like you enjoyed it.” Celestia licked her lips. “It is delicious.” Pinkie laughed again. “Thanks!” “Thanks?” Celestia asked her “For the compliment. I spent all morning baking this.” Celestia stared down at her soon to be bride. She could not believe the mare had really spent all day on this, not with all the shenanigans she had gotten up to according to Rainbow Dash but she made it nonetheless. Looking back at the cake Celestia came to a painful decision. “You can stay.” Pinkie gave a woot as she grabbed herself a second piece.  Yes, she could stay. If Celestia were treated to such delicacies even once a week by a mare like this, she could find herself marrying her and be content with it. Even if she did have to worry about the other activities that came with such a marriage the cake was worth it all. She greedily took several more pieces and shoved them onto various plates. She wasn’t stopping until this cake was done. Not more than five minutes later Celestia found herself and Pinkie had finished the entire cake. Celestia leaned back in her chair and relaxed. This mare was a confectionary goddess. How lucky was she to be able to have her live in the same castle and giving her free delights every day. Well maybe not free, but instead of asking for the world's worth of diamonds and bits, or for her very soul, all Pinkie asked was to be loved. A simple task for the goddess of the sun, also known as the maternal goddess. Pinkie Pie stood up next to Celestia. Hooves gently finding perch on Celestia’s leg to prop herself up. The warm touch sent shivers through her leg and thigh. After such a delightful meal she was in a very flexible position and the pink mare could probably talk her into almost anything. Instead Celestia looked over and saw the Pink head trying to get closer to her own just shy of reaching her face. Celestia caved and lowered her head for the mare. Pinkie’s lips pressed against Celestia’s and as quickly as they met they pulled away.  Pinkie Pie smiled. “I know that I won’t be able to plan this wedding, you know since Cadance is so excited for it. I’m still making us the best wedding cake anypony has ever seen.” “Even better than this one? Could such a thing be possible?” Pinkie grinned. “This, this was nothing. I just whipped this together today.” Celestia’s eyes widened at the prospect. “I will love you until the day we both turn to dust.” Pinkie laughed. “If I knew cake was the way to a princess’s heart I would have been doing this ages ago. Just keep in mind, Cadance only gets to plan this wedding. All the other parties are mine.” Celestia wasn’t quite sure what she meant by all the other parties but she nodded either way. Simply transfixed by the idea of a cake that would be so much better that it made this one seem like nothing. If she ate such a cake, could she ever return to eating other cakes or would her taste buds become so spoiled that no cake would ever taste right again? It was worth the risk to try such divinity. Pinkie Pie bounced away happily singing to herself. “La la la love, the Princess really loves me. La la la love.” Well at least she was happy... Leaving her there alone gave her a moment to think. Twilight was in love with her and after that all too powerful and far too embarrassing kiss earlier Celestia realized that her attraction to her former student was strong and even if this wedding were to be cut short, she would never be satisfied until she had taken the mare to bed. Even if it took a hundred years her control over herself would slip and she’d find herself in a position above Twilight, bodies entangled, tongues wrestling for dominance.  Then there was Rainbow Dash. There was certainly something about her. The way she was so willing to learn from Celestia and play with her without trying to molest her with her eyes. Rainbow Dash didn’t want Celestia because of her body, or at least not just because of it, she had found something she really liked in Celestia. Celestia may have found something similar in the young mare. After all she was pretty cool. Now there was Pinkie. Even if Celestia were to break out of this marriage she was going to have to find a way to keep Pinkie to herself. The divine goods the mare could concoct at a moment’s notice were so great that she couldn’t let the chance slip by. In fact she was the first target for turning into an immortal, that level of skill did not come around but once in a thousand years. Even if Celestia had to marry Twilight and cheat on her with Pinkie to get her hooves on those goods, she would… not that she needed to worry about it with the marriage plans Luna had set up. Well now even she was considering marriage… Was it too late to send Luna to the moon and pretend this whole event never happened? *** Twilight was done with whatever study she was doing in her room that she didn’t want to think about. She was also done with Rainbow Dash. So done in fact that she didn’t even notice the black eye on her face after being so rudely kicked. All she wanted was somepony to help point out a few things, a pony she knew must have had a lot of experience with mares. After all Rainbow Dash was known to be pretty fast, clearly she had to have lots of experience with the romance stuff… okay so maybe Twilight wasn’t thinking and wanted a bit more than just knowledge but was that really any reason to kick her like that? No, no it wasn’t. Rainbow Dash could have just said something. Instead of staring at Twilight as if she’d never seen a mare pleasuring herself before. Honestly what was Rainbow Dash even thinking? Oh right, she didn’t think, about anything, especially not about kicking one of the brides in the face and giving them a black eye. A black eye that as Twilight pointed out she did not notice was there because she was actively not trying to ignore it. The mirror she was staring at on the other hoof was not helping in any way shape or form. There was honestly only one pony who might know how to cover this up before they got wed. Twilight refused to look like she had fallen down some stairs on her wedding night and a black eye like this was going to stay a week. So she made her way through the halls thankful that the place was quiet. She passed by her servant, the one that almost never spoke. Lucky for her she didn’t have to worry about the mare saying anything. It seemed Luna had found the only six completely straight mares in the castle to be their servants as well as the six gayest stallions to be their guards. It was almost as if she was worried somepony might abuse their power. Twilight stopped and looked back at her servant. “Hey.” The servant paused, turned around and bowed for her. “I need you to deliver something for me. Could you be a dear and have the chefs prepare at least two dozen various pies and set them in Rainbow Dash’s private quarters? She loves her pie you see and I want her to feel as welcomed as possible in the castle.” The mare nodded and with a trot she was off. How in the world did she remember that Rainbow Dash hated any pie not made specifically by Pinkie she would never know, but so long as Pinkie didn’t make them the mare was going to be horrified. Servers her right. She found Rarity inside one of the lounge rooms with her rear end facing the door and her poor servant sitting down yawning as she attempted to look bleary eyed at Rarity’s butt. Applejack was there too. Twilight noticed the manic look in Rarity’s eyes as she spoke. “Stare harder! I don’t feel loved yet!” Applejack replied. “Rares, mah diamond, if’n you just want to feel loved, why don’t we send yer poor servant back out and Ah can put you on the couch there and make you feel loved.” Rarity’s servant raised a hoof. “I second that idea.” Rarity glared at her servant and then Applejack. “NO! I need ponies to admire me for my beautiful butt!” Twilight took several steps back thankful that nopony had seen her yet. So with Rarity losing her mind that left only one other answer and this one was going to be harder to deal with. Twilight walked down the halls until she found one of the known ‘pink’ rooms. Rooms which had intended functions for the more romantic side of things. Basically they were Cadance’s playrooms. Places she converted from when she lived in the castle and nopony had changed them as Cadance quite frequently visited.  She opened the door and saw Luna and Fluttershy. Fluttershy was floating in the air as Luna’s face was buried into her-  Twilight closed the door. She paused a moment. Opened the door again nodded and then closed it once more. Yep, they were doing things from that magazine of hers… well okay then. Twilight trotted off to the next pink room she could find. This time it was Cadance’s room. She opened the door and saw Shining Armor being levitated into the air. Cadance’s muzzle was buried into his… Twilight gasped. “WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT! HE’S A BOY!” Cadance looked away and had a tube of some sort in her mouth. It was probably more embarrassing that Twilight recognized it as hemorrhoid cream. Oh… that was um… Twilight felt her ears flattening behind her head. Shining Armor wiggled in the air a bit. “She won’t let me put it on myself and won’t put me down.” Cadance spat the bottle out and set her tolerant husband down. “Twilight, we are not doing the butt stuff… yet. He just refuses to actually use this on his own so I am forced to make him use it or he will complain all night long.” Twilight shook her head. “Okay… better than I… what do you mean yet?” Shining Armor cut her off by nearly shouting. “What happened to your eye? Did somepony hurt you? I’ll kill them.” Twilight walked in, closed the door behind her and sat down. “It’s fine. Rainbow Dash and me had a disagreement, and she came out the victor.” Shining Armor glared at nopony in particular. “Well… I can’t kill her but I at least hope you got her back just as good.” Twilight smiled at the thought of how many pies were going to be sitting around in Rainbow Dash’s room. “Oh, I think I did.” Cadance walked up. “Oh no, like this your wedding night might be ruined. Here let me help you.” Her horn lit up and soft soothing magic flowed around Twilight’s eye. “There.” Twilight looked over to the mirror and saw herself. The bruise was missing from her face. She lowered her head. “Oh… I didn’t realize healing magic worked for that.” “It kind of does.” Cadance replied. “The spell I used is a bit different. There are some mares, and stallions, who enjoy things a little rough and don’t want others thinking that they were abused so I came up with this spell.” “What do you mean rough? Like they want to be kicked in the face or something?” Cadance rolled her eyes as she explained. “Getting kicked in the face, choking, cutting, using piercing hooks in the back to-“ Twilight’s horn lit up and she was gone in a flash. There was no way she was going to stand there and listen to that. “-using assorted tools to create piercings on their more sensitive areas.” Cadance said. Twilight forgot there was an anti-teleportation spell in Cadance’s room. She turned around and walked to the door trying to open it instead. The door didn’t open. She looked back at Cadance. “Can I leave before you ruin me?” The evil smile that grew over Cadance’s lips was all too known to the castle by this point. “No. No you can’t.” Her horn lit up and an illusionary copy of Celestia and Twilight appeared on the bed behind her. “I’m instructed to teach anypony who might be lacking in certain knowledge about how to-“ Twilight stared, mouth agape, as the two illusions were doing the most lewd of things to one another. Her hoof twitched. It was very, very challenging not to let her hoof go down and do what it wanted to while she watched the copies of herself and Celestia do such things on the bed.  Shining Armor cleared his throat. “Darling, I think she likes this too much.” Cadance looked from the illusion to Twilight. “TWILIGHT!” Twilight lifted her hooves. “I didn’t do anything!” She stared right at Twilight’s horn. “Uh-huh, and please tell me what you are doing with your magic?” “Not what you think I am… probably.” The illusions disappeared. Twilight reached out toward them. “Nooooo!” Cadance rolled her eyes. “Just go do that with Celestia, she’s going to be your wife in a few days, I’m sure you can convince her.” Twilight let out a sigh. Cadance was probably right. Trying to find Celestia was becoming increasingly more difficult though… but there was one place Celestia would be no matter what. And when the time came she would make her move. Until then her hoof was twitching something fierce and she needed either to go back to her room for a while or to take a cold bath… or maybe hot bath.
