With the autumn party having subsided and the ponies disbursed to their regular lives, the castle became quiet and peaceful. Night Fury's parents were confused as to where their son went, but they didn't let it bug them as he was now fully grown and independent. Most of the time, no one would be anywhere as busy at such an hour with the sun setting, marking a day done and a cool night approaching. But for three princesses and an ambassador, this was the time to fulfill a promise made. With Cadence's failed prank, Celestia getting a surprise kiss, and a compromise between lovers, Fury had some debts to pay off. And unlike other debts that are a pain to pay off and no fun, this debt was one that brought enthusiasm and anticipation. The group of friends soon reached the doors to Celestia's chambers.
If anyone had told Night Fury years ago that he would be in the bedroom of a princess, he would take it as a joke. And yet here he is. Quite exciting like any of his adventures but also just as terrifying.
Okay Fury, time to show these girls a good time. I have the Midnight Touch.
"Okay, here we are." Celestia said, opening the door with her magic and revealing her room to the ambassador for the first time. The room was a beautiful mix of yellow, white and gold. Swirling patterns adorned the walls as he walked in. A wood fireplace sat to one side, softly shifting the shadows around the room as it flickered. Then there was the piece de resistance, her magnificent bed. It stood on four equal posts, thin golden fabric draping over the top as shaders for the giant piece of furniture. Fury was amazed at the sight of the acoustics and was incredibly jealous of her, but now was not the time.
"We can start on the rug and work our way through." Celestia spoke, getting a raised eyebrow from Night Fury.
"We can start on the rug?" Fury said, a little confused.
"But of course. You didn't think that this little session of ours would just be limited to one place, did you?" She cooed softly.
"I kinda thought it would." Fury said jokingly. "I mean this doesn't seem very comfortable."
Cadence rolled her eyes at Fury's obliviousness but she decided to advise him.
"Just go with it, Fury. Trust me, it's funner this way."
"Well, I'll try. But to be honest, this is the first time I've ever done this. Heck, I still haven't snuggled with Luna yet! But three princesses at the same time… Ooh, it gives me butterflies in my tummy."
Celestia smiled at him.
"Well then, let the butterflies roam free! Let's begin right now." Celestia said as she lied down on the carpet. Cadence and Luna were to the sides of her.
Fury approached them. He decided to start with Celestia.
So where do I start, Fury? She did say that she had a sore back, so let's start there.
Fury moved over to her and placed his paws on her back, starting to put pressure on it in a sort of kneading motion.
"You have no idea how hard it is to resist just teleporting to the nearest spa and plopping down on one of their massage beds. It's almost like a curse. I wish I could just go when I wanted, but alas, the attention of my little ponies would cause too much of an uproar." Celestia moaned, letting Fury do his thing.
"Woof, I can only imagine. I'm thankful that I've made my reputation around being laid back whenever I'm off duty. Everyone sees me as the type that's easy to get along with and friendly, but can be serious when needed. I do not envy you one bit." Fury said, moving up towards the base of her neck. "I mean, being an ambassador, all you have to do is work on your reputation. But being a full on ruler, now that's tough." Fury said wondering what it would be like if he were a leader like Celestia or the Emperor.
"Ohhhhhh!" Celestia moaned. "Well with the right people, it does get easier. But you must not let that ease cloud your judgment. Ooh yeah, that's the stuff." She felt good. "Just remember that the sight of joyful subjects makes everything easier."
Fury smiled at this. Celestia was a wise ruler. But it almost sounded like she was implying he would be a ruler like her.
"How about my neck, Fury? That's a very hard spot." Celestia said.
Fury now spoke confidently. "You got it Celestia." He massaged it thoroughly, all the pain she felt was gone.
Beside her was a jealous Cadence and Luna.
"Oh come on, when are we gonna get our turn?" She whined. "You're not the only one who works hard, auntie!"
"Oh calm down, you two. Let Fury work his magic."
"A magic that is very slow." Luna groaned.
"Okay, that should do it. How do you feel?" Fury asked. Celestia rolled her neck a few times to loosen it up and it felt amazing, she had never felt so relaxed.
"You did an amazing job. But now, I think you have two more customers to serve." She directed. Fury nodded and moved on to Cadence.
"So Cadence, how do you want it?"
"How about… something quick and fast." She requested. Fury tapped his chin with a paw before coming to a solution.
"I've got just the thing." He said. He transformed into a smaller, more domesticated black cat and leaped into her back. He took a breath, ignited his powers, and proceeded to tip toe rapidly on her back.
He was soft but swift in his steps. Cadence didn't need as tight of massages as she was younger than Celestia. But she probably liked the more quick feeling of multiple pressure points per second.
"Oooh yeah, there you go. That's the ticket." She sighed, her voice vibrating with the rapid tapping.
"I suspect you do not need as much deep tissue care as my sister and I?" Luna piped up.
"Yes, that's true. I may have a stressful load to deal with, but it's not as bad as most ponies think. And besides, I am much younger than the both of you." Cadence explained.
"Oh you haven't felt the whole story yet. Watch this." Fury proceeded to move up and down her back, spreading his moves out across the surface. Cadence bit her lip at the very enticing feeling, she loved every second. She felt so enticed that she made the careless move to flip over on her back and expose her stomach. Fury would have warned her of the impending accident, but it was too late.
"Uh oh. Bad decision, bad decisihohohohohohon!" She yelped as the soothing massage turned into a tickle attack. "Ha ha ha ha!"
Cadence laughed quite hard.
"Is this, ha, payback for all the times I tickled you, Night Fury?! HA HA HA!" She asked as she felt a strange mix of regret and pleasure.
"Partially. But it's your own fault for flipping over and I'm still not done." And now Fury was ready for his finishing blow, his coup de gras.
Fury focused his mind. And glowed a bit on the outside. Fury then examined her body to see her most sensitive ticklish spot all the while still tickling Cadence.
"Hmm let's see. Is it here? No, that's just the back. The neck? closer but no. Unless…" He looked at the area between her shoulder and her neck. This area he knew was always the sensitive spot judging from personal experience with his dad tickling that area when they wrestled when he was a cub.
"Ahh, there's the jackpot. Hey Cadence, go ahead and flip over for me?" She did so with haste to stop any more tummy tickles. "Okay, here I go." Then, he focused on the spot he examined and went as fast as he could tip toe. Cadence stopped laughing, but she began to squirm and squeal at the sensation.
"Ooh… ahh…. Okay, that's enough for me!" She finally said. She twitched one final time and launched Fury into the air, allowing her to flip over and catch him in her hooves.
"Oof!"
"Gotcha!" Cadence said, having the black cat in her grasp. "Would you like to know how those tickles felt, kitty cat?" She said, smirking.
"Awww, that's no fair! I can't fight back in this form!" Fury said. "Have some honor!"
"Oh okay, but I will get you back. You're just lucky I like a fair fight." Cadence said, letting him go and allowing him to transform back.
"Now that Cadence has gotten her fair share, how about you show me how you like to hold onto me." Luna cooed. Fury was left confused.
"Hold onto you? But… I hug you all the time." Fury said. Cadence giggled and whispered to him.
"No, silly! She wants to see your ability to feel her over. You know, trace her body." Cadence said, chuckling.
Fury blushed. He was close with Luna. But since their relationship was still so young, he never thought he would go so far already.
But he had to admit he didn't mind giving it a try either.
"Okay then, I'll do it." He said confidently.
"Hold on, just one thing." Luna said. She lit her horn a bright blue and let out a bright flash. Fury recoiled from the blast for a moment before turning back to see that Luna had gotten rid of her regalia.
"I just want you to get the full experience." Fury sat there with a slack jaw. He had always seen Luna with her royal attire equipped, and without them, she looked completely naked. He felt so lucky to see her form like this.
Am I dreaming?
"Well go ahead, feel my form." She said. Fury slowly reached out and placed his paws on her face, holding her cheeks in his grasp. Her face was slim and firm, but her fur was very soft. It felt like a comfortable rug at his grip. He moved his focus down her neck and moved his paws with his gaze. Her neck felt much the same, soft but firm. It was rather long for a pony, but considering she was an alicorn, her physiology was on the more powerful side.
He soon reached her chest and rested there for a moment. Her breathing shifted the surface up and down very softly, but still noticeable. Fury decided to put his head on her chest, pulling his ear up slightly. It felt firm as any alicorn yet soft and warm. He listened to her smooth breathing and heartbeat and sighed. It felt different yet so familiar to him. Luna smiled.
"I see you've taken an interest in my heartbeat." She said, her voice slightly muffled in Fury's ear as he stayed planted on her chest.
"Yeah. It makes me feel… safe. It brings back memories of when I was first born." Fury said.
"You remember your birth?" Luna asked intrigued.
"Vaguely. When I was first born, like any feline, my ears and eyes were shut tight. I couldn't hear or see when I was born, but I could still feel around and make noise. And the first thing I remember was my mom pulling me up to her chest and me feeling her heartbeat. In the early stages of a feline's life, we can't see or hear our parents like you ponies do, so our mothers pull us in to feel their unique heartbeat to help recognize them for the first few months before our eyes and ears open up." Fury explained.
"Incredible." Luna said. "Let me ask you. Can you recognize my heartbeat just like you could with your mother's?"
"I wish I could, but unfortunately no. The recognition of a mother's heartbeat, or as it's most commonly known, 'Heartsync', is exclusive to feline mothers. Heartsync is something that only a mother can achieve and only within the early stages of life. And besides, once we felines open our eyes and ears, the heartsync is disconnected."
"Oh. I understand." Luna said, a bit disappointed.
"Oh don't look so sad, Moonpie, I wouldn't need to sync up with you even if I had to. I have all the recognition I need." Luna smiled sweetly at Fury's comment, she was glad that he felt that way with her.
He then pulled away from her chest and continued his venture down her body. He traced her smooth curves down to her sides and came in contact with her wings.
The fluffy surface was a strange feeling as he grazed over each feather with care. They felt like soft blankets. He decided to further down to caress all of the wings when suddenly he heard a fwoomp. He was not aware they were apparently very sensitive as they quickly extended and gave Night Fury a spook.
"What the heck was that?! You okay Luna?"
Luna didn't respond but merely blushed.
"Oh she's fine." Celestia spoke. "Do you remember what happened with your tail? That applies to us winged ponies."
"It's true. I had to deal with it when I first got my wings. And believe you-me, it is no cake walk trying to get around with them forcefully extended. Especially when you're going through a hormone influx." Cadence added.
Fury put two and two together and also blushed. And yet he tried to give her a confident look.
"So, I guess you're liking this?" He spoke. Luna finally came with a response.
"Y-yes, I am." She stuttered. "But I'm not sure you've completed your task yet." She then formed a seductive smirk with half-lidded eyes.
"So how about you… go a bit further down." She cooed into his ear.
He smiled at this.
"As you wish, Moonpie."
Fury proceeded to go lower. Right below the wings, he massaged her. He was closer to her tail now. He took his chances and moved down to her flanks and legs. She was a rather slim pony, no excess pudge or loose skin anywhere. She was as fit as anyone could dream of.
"I… am loving… this body of yours. Your soft, subtle fur. Your smooth, flowing curves. Your strong and powerful legs. I could go in with what I love about this." He said softly.
"Really? Because I could notice you spent a few more moments on my flanks. Were you expecting me to have a little more… As they say, 'Junk in the trunk?' " Luna smirked.
Fury shook his head. "Nah, I think this is perfectly fine. Not too much excess unlike some ponies." Fury joked. Celestia took this a bit harshly.
"Is that supposed to mean something?" She said, a bit of venom in her voice. Fury looked at her and chuckled.
"What? No, I was talking about Cadence. Not that it doesn't fit her. Seriously girl, how are you so slim yet so full at the same time?!"
Cadence glared at him. "Mister, you are lucky you are in the middle of massaging your love or I would make you pay. And for your information, if I am a little chubby, perhaps it's because I am going to be a future mother soon. This is normal." Cadence said sharply, correcting him.
"C'mon, that was a compliment! Besides, I am way chubbier than all three of you. Honestly, I'm surprised I'm not considered a butterball by now." Fury defended, falling on his back and staring at his slightly distended midsection.
"See? I guess it must be from all the cakes and meat I eat." Fury laughed.
This made all the mares chuckle.
"Maybe that's why I knew where to tickle you." Cadence said remembering when she found one of his tickle areas.
"Oh no you don't, you're not getting me again." He snarled.
"I think he is perfect this way. And he can't be that chubby." Celestia said, poking him. She was soon surprised by a ripple effect along his tummy that made Fury blush.
Oh sweet mother nature, why me?!
"Or maybe he is that chubby. He jiggles like jello!" Celestia said, rubbing it and then giving a light slap.
"Eep!" Fury squealed. "Hey, watch it! You might be a princess, but I know my rights!"
"Oh really? I thought you were enjoying this?" Luna spoke.
"Not anymore. And besides, you're gonna give me an upset stomach."
"I don't think it's upset, I think it's enjoying the pampering. As a matter of fact, how about one of us asks how it feels?" Cadence joked.
"NO!" Fury said in vain.
"Greetings Fury's stomach. How do you do?" Luna asked, betraying her coltfriend.
"Oh I'm doing okay. I enjoy eating all sorts of food. And drink all the hot chocolate as well." Cadence said, grabbing Fury's stomach and pretending it was talking. "I love it when Fury sneaks and feeds me!"
Why must I be subjected to this humiliation? Why?…
"Okay. But I must ask, how are you capable of making so much noise? You seem like you love growling every two hours." Luna cheekily asked.
"I go longer than that!" Fury said, defending himself.
"Maybe it's because it is so much work, bein' a Speed Shifter. So I have to get some yummy in this tummy." Cadence said, having to resist laughing. Meanwhile, Celestia and Luna were cracking up.
"Oh, so you guys are finding this funny, huh? You forget that Cadence has just as much of an appetite as I do!"
"Ooh, he got you there, niece." Celestia pointed out.
"But at least I don't shatter glass when my stomach growls!" Cadence shot back. As if on cue, Fury's stomach gurgled loudly, most likely from the rough handling before he could even respond.
"Woah, easy boy. Down boy, down!" Luna teased. It proved ineffective as it made a louder growl, almost in an effort to form an attack.
"You see, Fury's got a monster in there! That's gotta be the source of his appetite!" Cadence pointed out.
"Wow, and you call me childish." Fury said.
"Wait," Cadence said, ignoring him. "Someone needs to save him from the monster. It must be attacked like a manticore. And there is only one who can save him." Cadence said, glancing at a particular Lunar princess. At this point, Fury was just enjoying it. He wanted to make it stop, but seeing the princesses being so funny made the embarrassment shift away.
"Sweetie, don't listen to Cadence. Remember all the foods we stole- uh, borrowed from Cadence. We did that as a team! You and me!"
"Oh I'm not not going to tickle you, dear. I'm going to try and drown this monster out." She said, using her magic to form a bottle of apple cider.
"Hurry, my love! This monster is tearing me apart from the inside out!" Fury said, finally letting go of his embarrassment. His stomach growled again, causing him to fall to his back and hold his paw to his head.
"Ooh, it's trying to get out!" Cadence cried out. "Use the cider to cleanse this foul beast from our midst!"
Luna unscrewed the bottle and stuck it in Fury's mouth. The sweet drink dribbled out of the bottle and into the domain of the beast, slightly inflating Fury's tummy as the final drops emptied out of the bottle.
"Ah, that's the stuff." Fury said. "I guess it's good to have an apple farmer as a friend, I tell ya hwat!" Giving a country pony imitation.
The others laughed.
"Ah, that feels better. The beast has been quenched!" Fury said.
"I hope so, but it could return…" Cadence said dramatically. Fury's full stomach gurgled.
"Oh no, I think it can swim!"
"Wait! I think it wants to speak." Luna giggled. "Cadence, you seem to speak it's language. Try conversing with it."
"Hello Fury's Stomach, how are you tonight?"
"Alright, but I feel I am missing something." Cadence pretended to be the stomach.
"Oh and what would that be?"
"If only I could have the love of a certain princess of the night to sooth me. I could use her lovin' now!"
Luna smiled at this.
"With pleasure." Luna went to Fury's stomach and gave it a kiss. It wobbled and sloshed around at the brief contact.
"Thank you, I am satisfied!" Fury said, now pretending to be the stomach.
Luna though didn't think this was enough.
"Perhaps he needs more than a mere kiss." Luna smirked.
"What are you talking about?" Fury asked, confused but a little worried.
"This!" Luna pressed her face against his belly. Fury didn't see what was so nefarious but then he felt ticklish.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Luna gave his stomach a raspberry. He felt so ticklish and vulnerable.
"Bahahahaha, nohohohoho!"
"Hey look, Luna's making waves!" Cadence added, pointing out the waves being formed on Fury's bloated belly.
"Stop ihihihit, you're gonna upset it again!" Fury whined.
"Oh really, well I'll give it one final blow!" Celestia piped up, pressing a hoof to it and making Fury burp.
BREPPPPP!
"Woah, that was a big one!" Cadence laughed. Fury sat there, giggling and squirming like a baby while the others looked on.
"Awww, you look so cute!" Celestia cooed. Fury then decided to get his revenge.
"Oh, I'm so cute? Well how cute will I be when I embrace the monster within?" He chuckled. The royal sisters looked confused and each raised an eyebrow. Fury took no time and transformed into a giant sized kangaroo, grabbing Cadence and holding her up.
"You said that I have a monster fueling my appetite? Well you can meet him yourself!" He roared. Throwing Cadence up into the air. She flailed around in mid air for a moment before falling into not Fury's mouth, but the pouch that surrounded his tummy. She squirmed around inside the soft pouch in a silly panic.
"Auntie Luna, auntie Celestia, help! It's dark here! I'm in the abyss of doom!" The royal sisters playfully gasped.
"Sister, Cadence has been eaten by this giant kangaroo!" Luna said melodramatically.
"Very well, we must save her! Unhand her, you horrifying monster!" Celestia demanded from the mysterious creature called the kangaroo.
"Fight me if you dare, for you may fall victim to my growing hunger!" Fury said while pretend boxing.
Celestia and Luna both pretended to box. "We will not abandon our own kind." Celestia said. "Even from you- Now!"
Luna was about to jump on Fury. But she was too late. Fury had anticipated this move. He dodged and picked Luna up and threw her like a javelin at Celestia.
"Sorry Moonpie, I have to be fair and get all of you." He said as he grabbed Celestia's neck and tossed her in the air. And he did the same for Luna.
"Get into my belly!" Fury cried out as they fell into his pouch.
"Yes! Victory is mine! I shall rule over Equestria and make this land mine!" He cheered. "And the only thing you three will be is dissolved as you bubble down in my stomach."
"You shall not prevail, foul beast!" Luna cried from inside.
"Oh but I already have. I can feel you dissolving away." He chuckled as he let out a fake growl.
"Uh oh, I think he's right. Either there's a tiger out there or his stomach is about to turn us into princess soup." Cadence said.
"Oh but we have a secret weapon. The power of poking!" Celestia cried. Fury sat there for a few seconds before he felt rapid tapping against his belly. He chuckled slightly and played along.
"Oohhhh… I think you're upsetting my stomach…" He said, making more fake growling noises as he wobbled around on his wide feet.
"Woah… this is starting to get wobbly." Celestia said as the three princesses were getting dizzy.
Fury decided if he was going down, he would take them with him. He bounced and moved all over the room.
"Sister, my head cannot take this moving and bouncing! Should we surrender?" Luna asked.
"Never! We shall escape from the belly of the beast! We must try harder! Forward, my ladies at arms!" Celestia said as she and the other princesses tapped even more quickly on his stomach than before.
The question was who would endure. Fury being tapped in the stomach? Or the princesses becoming dizzy?
"Uuuugh… not this time! I shall prevail against you! You all have made me look like a fool for far too long, you shall fall to my hunger." Fury snarled.
"Not today, kangaroo! On three, princesses! One… two… three!" As they counted down, they made one final poke into the soft fur.
"Ohhhh!" Fury called. "Uh oh, I think I'm gonna… Huraaaagh!" Fury reached into his pouch and ejected the princesses in a fake hurling fit. They all hit the rug and turned to Fury as he sang a little jingle in a robotic voice.
🎶WHAT DID YOU DO, YOUR HIGHNESS?🎶
🎶YOU'VE JUST WON THE FINAL ROUND!🎶
🎶I CAN'T KEEP THE BEAT, AND I'M FEELING DEFEAT…🎶
🎶AND MY SYSTEMS ARE ALL SHUTTING DOWWWN…🎶
Fury said as he collapsed on the ground with a hard thump. He was panting from all the movement.
He turned back to his normal form.
"Well, I guess every animal has its weakness." Fury laughed though worn out.
The three princesses also approached him though they looked exhausted too albeit less than Fury.
"You shook us up pretty good. I thought I was inside a giant cocktail shaker." Cadence giggled.
"You put up quite the fight, my love. I must say, it was rather fun to let loose and be childish for once." Luna said.
"I must agree. It feels good to be silly every once in a while, even if it's not what you expect to happen. I have to say, you have a rather motivating attitude." Celestia added. Fury smiled at the admiration from them as he sat there.
"Thanks, you three, I'm glad that everything went the way it should have." Fury said smiling.
"Oh but it hasn't." Luna piped up. Fury was confused.
"Huh, what's wrong?" The three princesses grinned at each other as they made their final move and began to sing in robotic voices.
🎶LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE, NIGHT FURY.🎶
🎶YOU'VE TAKEN ALL OF US DOWN!🎶
🎶BUT WE CANT KEEP OUR BEAT, AND WE'RE FEELING DEFEAT…🎶
🎶AND OUR SYSTEMS ARE ALL SHUTTING DOWWWN…🎶
"Wait wait, nonononono- Augh!" And with one final groan, the three princesses tilted over and plopped onto Fury in a massive, laughing dogpile.
"Grrrrr, I thought you were just trying to entertain me." Fury groaned. "I was already beaten!"
"Us too." Celestia said. "We just made sure, we took you with us. And we have succeeded."
Fury and the princesses were silent for a little while. Then had a huge laugh.
"Hahahahaha!" Fury laughed out loud. "And I thought massages were supposed to be boring, high brow stuff like my mother used to go to."
"Yep! This was the most fun I've ever had in all my life!" Cadence giggled.
"And we aren't going to be able to get up because… say it with me now…"
🎶OUR SYSTEMS ARE ALL SHUT DOWWWN…🎶
They sang it in harmony as they continued to giggle and laugh.
"Where did you even learn that song?" Celestia asked.
"Hey, when you're in Ponyville, you meet some pretty weird ponies." Fury chuckled. "I think it was that DJ unicorn."
Luna chuckled. "You definitely are fitting into our Equestrian society. I hope you did not find it too odd."
"Are you kidding? I love all this crazy stuff that happens. And besides we Speed Shifters can be pretty crazy ourselves." Fury chuckled.
Then all were silent for a bit. They all looked at the night sky and stars. Fury felt so thankful for having such great ponies in his life.
"I'm so glad I met all of you." Fury said. "You ladies have given me the family I needed after I lost mine. You ladies are awesome and very fun too. I was worried at first you'd be all stuck up. But I guess that only applies to some bad apples."
Celestia smiled.
"We are indeed honored to have you too. You've given us happiness we haven't had in so long." Celestia said. "For me and Luna we are so glad you gave us some energy too. It has been awhile after all since I pulled many pranks. I always thought it was too childish."
Fury laughed. "Hey, you can never get too old for a little fun and mischief."
Celestia and Cadence nodded.
"Sometimes my husband needs to remember to chill out and have fun." Cadence said. "I'll be sure to use these techniques on him when I get back."
"Ah good that you have learned, my apprentice." Fury said to Cadence.
Luna felt a little left out at Fury not talking to her. But then she heard Fury say something.
"And for you, my Moonpie," Fury said. "You definitely are the princess of my life. I love you, baby." Fury kissed her.
Luna blushed.
"I always thought I was the boring reserved one everyone ignored. Why did you even like me? I would have expected with your energy to go for someone like Cadence."
Fury laughed at even the thought of this.
"Oh Luna… Luna… Luna... Must you be so blind? I like you for many reasons. For one, I like to wander around in the dark, so the darkness is a definite plus. Two, it's funner to get someone like you to laugh or get into my pranks and three…" Fury was silent for a little while and looked sincere instead of humorous.
"You remind me of my mother sometimes."
"I do?" Luna asked, surprised.
"Well yeah. You're caring, soothing, funny, passionate… and you'll come to my rescue at a moment's notice. What, did you think I was gonna say that your attitude or temper reminded me of her? I'm not trying to get a magic blast to the face here!"
"Ah, you are wise to say so." Luna said. "I might have just given you another belly treatment otherwise."
"Ok, that part kind of resembles my mom." Fury said. "I guess you know how to put me in my place!" He laughed.
Luna rolled her eyes and tapped his belly briefly.
"Gah! Really?" Fury asked.
Luna smirked and gave a light chuckle.
"Well, you said I resemble your mother." Luna snidely said.
"Yeah, I guess I did." Fury said, pouting.
Moving on from that. Fury realized it must have been getting late.
"Hey, uh what time is it?" Fury asked, praying that it was not too late.
"Hmmm… guessing from the rate of the moon's ascension, I'd have to say it's about 7pm."
"Aww man, that's not good! I gotta go-" Fury stopped. He realized that he was worrying about something that was in the past.
"Oh wait, that's not a problem. Pssh, why am I panicking like I'm a teenager after curfew?" Fury said.
"Was it something about your mother again?" Cadence asked.
"Besides the fact that she would literally track and chase me down if I was just a few hairs off my deadline… Yeah, you could say she had something to do with it. There were multiple times that my dad had to stop her from snapping my bones like peanut brittle because of my curfew." Fury said, somewhat traumatized.
"Now that we are all done with our massages, do you think you should go to your parents?" Luna asked. "We can pretend you had to help a kitten from a tree."
"Oh that won't be necessary, dear." A voice said.
Uh oh…
All of them turned around to see a black and white owl was speaking. Fury's ears fell flat against his head.
"He he… hi Mom. I see you're well." He squeaked nervously. Black Ice just laughed.
"Oh relax, honey, you're not a teenager anymore." She spoke, transforming back to her regular form and walking over.
"Wait really? You're cool with me being out late now?" Fury said, a little surprised.
Black Ice nodded.
"I will admit I was a bit worried… okay very worried when you were gone. Your father said not to worry. But I flew everywhere and I finally found you with all these princesses. And I thought you were doing something… unwholesome. With more than one pony." Black Ice said. Everyone in the room, even Celestia, made disgusted noises towards the assumption.
"Mom! What kind of son do you take me for?!" Fury said disgustedly.
"Eww, gross!" Cadence squealed. "He's too chubby for me. And a little too mischievous. I also prefer my husband's melodramatic side."
"CADENCE!" Fury complained.
"I think… I'm gonna be sick…" Luna whimpered, her face a shade of green as she teleported a bottle of water to her and chugged it to settle her stomach.
"Okay, Black Ice… even I, The princess of the Day, goddess of the Sun, have to say that you might have problems." Celestia said in a tone more akin to a teen than a multi-millennia old ruler.
Black Ice continued nevertheless.
"But I realized when I saw you turning into a kangaroo, you were not intending anything bad. You just had your own… interesting ways of bonding. I mean come on, a monster sized kangaroo with a desire to devour Equestria's rulers and take over? How does one even come up with that?!" Black Ice said. Fury blushed.
"Hey, you were the one who came up with a twelve armed, pink, fuzzy octopus creature that was out to tickle me! You don't see dad coming up with that stuff." Fury smugly said.
Black Ice was quiet at first. "Touché, my son...Touché. I guess it has been awhile since I really used my imagination." She chuckled.
"You're not the only one. We somehow came up with the idea that there was a monster inside of Fury, driving his giant appetite!" Cadence spoke.
"I see." Black Ice said. "We Speed Shifters have to use our imaginations to come up with powerful creatures to transform into. One of my skills as a cub was to make pottery with these strange animals. And they would help me transform. Transforming has always been my specialty. Now Obsidian, he was more speed focused. He always brushed off his ability to change his form, saying it was a 'lazy power' and was a 'get out of jail free card'." She explained with a little disdain. "It's not like I called his speed 'a move for fleeing cowards'."
"I'm not surprised that Fury's imagination was so wild that he made us believe that he had a monster inside of him. But if we're all being honest, with how loud his tummy gets when he's hungry, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the truth." Cadence laughed.
"Ha ha ha, real funny. But I can't control my poor stomach. It needs its food, ya know!" Fury defended himself.
"But does it need to get so loud and announce it to everyone within earshot?" Cadence shot back.
"I am this close to transforming into something big and eating you for real." Fury deadpanned.
"Okay okay, I'll let you go with that." Cadence said.
"Thank you." Fury said.
Moving on from that…
"Sometimes mom got jealous that my dad kept teaching me speed skills instead of transformation. I only mastered shape shifting later." Fury said.
"And I'm happy that you did, sweetheart." Black Ice piped up.
"Yeah, I'm glad too…" Fury snarled, growing in size until he was big enough to swallow her whole. "Because with this power, I can eat anything I want. And I won't lie, mom… you look like you taste good."
Strangely enough, his mother was still smiling.
"Oh really?" Then she transformed into a large Cragodile even larger than Fury had done before. "Would you like to feast on me now, boy?!"
"Yes, yes I would." Fury said with a calm demeanor. He then transformed into something even Black Ice was afraid of. A giant, black, Bug Bear.
"Ahhh, curse you bug bear! No no no no! Be gone!" Black Ice said fleeing.
Fury laughed at this. "Sorry mom. I guess I win this round." He transformed back to his normal self. His mother did the same.
"Fury! I told you I have a phobia of bugbears! I told you not to do that in front of me again!" Black Ice said angrily.
"I know… that's why I did it. Sometimes you step out of line, and since dad isn't here to do it, I decided to take the reins. And besides, are you afraid of the creature itself, or just me being able to swallow you whole?" He chuckled.
"Hmph!" Black Ice said wanting to defend her honor. "Bugbears can still be beaten by Cragodiles. Cragodiles have a strong bite to them."
"Maybe, but not when you have a phobia of them. Didn't you tell me, Mom, not just to use brute force but strategy to defeat my foes? That's what I did!" Fury said.
"Ooooh… you smart-mouthed little boy!" She hated when he won the argument against her.
"Okay okay, I'll turn into something less threatening." He said, turning into his kangaroo form again. "C'mon mom, come here…"
"Mmmm… okay, I'll come give you a hug." She proceeded to walk over to the giant kangaroo and attempt to hug it, but was cut off by being grabbed and lifted to see two slitted eyes staring evilly at her.
"Oh how gullible you are, dear mother. Now prepare to become my snack for the night!" He roared, using the same trick he used on the princesses and let her land in his pouch. Black Ice landed in the soft pouch and shot her head around in a panic, but soon calmed down and played along with her son.
"Hey, let me out of here! I don't want to be eaten!" She wailed, squirming around in the pouch at Fury's expense.
"Hahahahaha! H-hey, that tickles!" Fury laughed.
"Oh really, does that tickle?" Black Ice asked. "Well then let me help you with that." She put her mouth to Fury's stomach and gave him a classic raspberry.
"Bahahahahaha! Not the raspberry! Okay, you asked for it!" Fury said as he began to wobble around.
"Woah… Woah… I think I upset his tummy, your highnesses! Help, before I get bubbled down!"
The three other princesses just looked on amused at this transaction. They could see how even Black Ice liked to play in her own way.
After awhile with Fury moving around, both Fury and Black Ice were exhausted and collapsed. Black Ice crawled out of the pouch and transformed back as well as her son.
"Not bad son. Not bad." She panted.
"Right back at you." He panted as well.
After a while, she got back up. "Alright, Fury, that was fun. But I think it's time for us to go back to our bedrooms."
"As much as I don't want to, you're right. This was fun, we might just have to make this a secret thing between us." Fury said.
"I just might. If only to put you in your place, dear." Black Ice said competitively. "I have pride in my transformation abilities after all."
"Oh you're on! Celestia, Luna, Cadence, how about you? You up for declaring a new secret tradition between friends?"
They nodded.
"I think I would look forward to that." Celestoa said.
"Then it's settled! We shall be part of the Secret Society of Silly Shenanigans! AKA, Ssss for short! You gotta hiss like a snake." Fury said.
"Can't we call it something more formal like the League of Transforming One's Body?" Black Ice asked.
"Come on, mom! That'll single us out and Luna! And yes, she can shapeshift. I think my name is better. We could use the abbreviation as a code phrase to let other members know when the society is about to gather! And besides, your name makes it sound too formal." Fury said.
"Okay okay," Black Ice conceded. "We'll do it your way. We will hiss like snakes to say it."
"Now you're thinking like me!" Fury said.
"Then, it is official! The Secret Society Of Silly Shenanigans had been created! Let its members be well and live long!" Cadence cheered.
"Hey, what was that?" A muffled voice came from the outside. Fury panicked as he heard who it was.
"Oh shoot, it's dad! Hurry, act natural and don't slip up about our secret society!"
Obsidian flew up with his robin transformation, since he couldn't make too advanced of forms and saw his family and the princesses.
"Well, it looks like you all are having a good time. How's it going? Your mother was quite mad, son. I was trying to find you before she did." Obsidian said.
"And I heard you talking about some sort of society, any idea what that was about?"
"Oh, uh… Celestia was just treating us to a bit of a history lesson on the advancement of technology in Equestrian society. Nothing secret at all…" Luna spoke, quickly being silenced by a paw from her lover.
"Yeah, you have no need to worry dad." Fury said smiling. "Everything's chill."
"Hmmm." Obsidian wondered aloud. "I see. And what were you teaching them, Princess?"
"Oh you know, about things like mine and Luna's mentor, Starswirl the Bearded." Celestia said.
"Oh… well that's good. I'll see you back in our rooms." Obsidian said yawning and not wanting to pursue the question further since he just wanted to sleep, so he took off once more into the cold night air. Everyone in the room let out a sigh of relief as he disappeared from sight.
"Hoo, that was close! He almost found us out before we got started." Fury sighed.
"I must agree with your sentiment. Although, this new secret society has made me think, should we include Twilight Sparkle in our midst?" Luna asked.
"No!" Cadence and Fury called. The silence in the room made them blush and correct themselves.
"Ahem, uh… We don't think…"
"You know what, Cadence? Don't even try and sugar-coat it, we both know that Twilight is a bit too… orderly to be in this society." Fury said bluntly. "We already have my mom, but we don't need an order obsessed pony like her with us."
"Yeah, you're right. She is a bit of a buzzkill sometimes. And I can say that with confidence since I used to foalsit her. Seriously, she tried to calculate a game of catch to find an 'optimal enjoyment quotient'." Cadence chuckled.
"Well that's fine." Celestia reluctantly said. "Twilight has her own friends and for us we have the perfect number of companions."
"I must agree," Luna said. "She has her own group of companions and we have ours. Let us keep it that way."
"That's true. Let's keep this society to a minimum." Fury said. The group of friends was soon distracted by a strange sound.
Rrrrrrrr
"Seriously Fury, you're hungry now?" Cadence quipped.
Fury did not react as he listened to the sound.
Rrrrrrrrrr
"Nope, that can't be me. It sounds more hollowed out, and besides, I'm not hungry."
"Then this sound must be originating from elsewhere. Celestia, do you know where it's coming from?" Luna asked, but no response came.
"Celestia?"
…
"You all must run…" She finally spoke.
"What, Why? Is there something here?" Cadence inquired.
"No… it's inside of me. Fury, your monster… has infected me too." Celestia quivered. Everyone else wore a smile as they understood what was happening.
"No… it can't be…"
"Yes, it is. My hunger is growing and I can't… stop… it." Celestia lifted her head slowly and revealed her now glowing eyes and wicked smile.
"Well well well, looks like I have my dinner sitting right in front of me. You all look so good to eat." She growled.
"Uh guys, I think she's lost it." Fury whimpered.
"What are we gonna do?" Black Ice asked, showing fake worry to play along. "We have to get away somehow.
"Oh there is no getting away, my little snacks. You have fallen into my trap. Now, come here!" Celestia pounced almost like a Speed Shifter toward them.
"Ahhhh! She's coming! We've gotta get out of here! Quick, through the door!" And with one big effort, all four of them made a break through the door. Although they were laughing at the joke, they still ran like their lives depended on it. They made it a few feet down the hall when one of them fell victim to the creature.
"Luna, nooooo!" Fury cried out, seeing his lover being 'gobbled up' as he ran away.
"Run, hahahahaha! Save yourselves!" Luna 'selflessly' demanded of them.
"Hmmmm," Celestia said. "I wonder if my sister tastes like moonpies like your coltfriend says you do?" She said slowly approach her, licking her lips.
"Only I get to know that, you crazy horse!" Fury charged to Luna's aid, not worried about his hungry foe. "You won't be tasting any pony today!"
"My son, don't do it!" His mother pleaded.
"I must do this… For Love!" He roared as he pounced on Celestia and held her down.
"You want to eat my lover for dinner? How about I do the same to you, you big, plump freak of nature!?" Fury said.
"Is that a challenge I hear?" Celestia smiled.
"You're darn right it is!" Fury said.
"Be careful what you wish for," Celestia's horn glowed and wings broadened. "You just might get it."
"Yeah I doubt that- Hehehehehehehe!" Fury was tickled on his stomach with her wings. Celestia used it as an opportunity to get him off.
However Fury jumped before she did so.
"Nice try, Tia!" Fury said. "I won't let you get me. No, instead…" He transformed into a kangaroo. "I will get you! Get into my belly again!"
Celestia gulped. Great, it's that giant kangaroo monster again! I have to be on my guard.
Celestia smiled on the outside though. "You think you're so tough, young one? Well news flash, I am the princess of the Sun. So I will make sure you will be taught a lesson, my prey!"
Fury simply stared at her with a defiant look.
They stared at each other till they came toward each other.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
Two were about to ram into each other when Fury did something unexpected. He transformed into a hummingbird and avoided Celestia causing her to…
Crash!
"Now I gotcha!" Fury now went back to kangaroo form and grabbed the princess. "Any last words, Sunbutt?"
"If you consume me, I shall punish you and your kin for eternity! I shall consume all of your cakes and your family's cakes! And I shall do so in front of you!"
"Hmmm, that does sound bad." Fury pretended to wonder. "But me and my family are strong enough for that. Into the belly of the beast you go!"
"Nooooo!"
He dropped her down into her pouch. Celestia was not amused but Fury sure was.
"Luna, my love, I have saved thee from thine evil sister!" He said melodramatically.
Luna ran over to him and dramatically hugged him.
"Oh Fury, my Lightning Bug!" She as if it were in opera. "You are my hero and savior. Back then, now and forever more! You I shall always treasure." Luna dramatically said. "And you're quite easy on the eyes." She whispered and winked.
Fury felt pleased. But he also felt some struggle from inside his pouch.
"Hey look, she's moving around in there. You think she's still alive or just struggling against my might?" Fury said smugly.
"Oh I am still alive, Fury. Indeed. And I have a little surprise for you." She said.
"And what would that be?" Fury dared to ask. "More of your tapping? This time I'm used to it."
"That wasn't me tapping your stomach." Celestia pointed out.
"Wait what? Then what is that?"
"Oh just a little…magic potion that gives you the hiccups." Celestia smiled. "Which will come right about… now!"
Hiccup
Hiccup
Hiccup
"Not more of these hiccups!" Fury said. "I cannot *hiccup* lose!"
Fury hiccups became four hiccups per second. Fury could barely control himself.
"Whatever, you'll feel dizzy too!"
"The hiccups will be for five hours though." Celestia pointed out. "Unless you release me in which case I will release you from this hiccup mania."
"Never!" Hiccup. Hiccup.
"Oh well, I guess you should prepare for a sleepless night of hiccups." Celestia sighed, seemingly getting comfortable within Fury's pouch.
"C'mon, Fury, think! I've gotta *hiccup* figure out how to *hiccup* get her to stop this while maintaining my victory! Think Fury, think!" Fury thought while hiccuping. "Wait, I'm not alone. I have the others on my side."
"Luna! Cadence!" Fury called out. "You must make this *hiccup* spell stop. Don't you know how to undo this magic?"
Cadence nodded. "We do. But to do so we must get inside the pouch to counteract the hiccups. Are we really ready to fight the big bad Tia for that?"
Luna looked defiant.
"Yes we are. Alright Fury, open up!"
"Good luck girls. May the gods be with you." He opened up the pouch and they went inside.
"So…" Celestia said. "You have come to challenge me. Do you know who you are facing?"
"Yes we do. We are facing an alicorn who is plump and likes to eat cakes all the time." Luna smugly stated.
"Ooh, you've done it now!" Celestia called, tackling the two other princesses and beginning the internal scuffle at Fury's expense.
"Bahahahaha! Hey, that *hic* t-tickles! I can feel *hic* you three squirming around in there! Can't you gals lighten up a bit?" He giggled, taking the brunt of the rather tickly squirming inside his pouch.
The trio had to fight in the limited space afforded by the pouch. The alicorns had to use their physical and not magic moves to fight each other.
"Hiyah!" Cadence said, trying to kick Celestia in the stomach. Unfortunately, Celestia dodged and Cadence kicked Fury's stomach making him hiccup more.
"HIC! Not helping!" Fury commented.
Cadence was frustrated. Celestia kept moving around like this to mess with them.
Cadence whispered to Luna. "Luna, we aren't getting anywhere. What are we going to do?"
Luna thought and whispered back to Cadence. "You got it!" Cadence told her.
"Hey aunt Tia! You know I think the sun is kind of overrated. The winter and night is much nicer. It's not as annoying or obnoxious, no offense."
Celestia however was offended.
"Oh, is that what you think of the day? Well I'll show the whole power of the day right now!" Celestia said, trying to pounce Cadence.
But while Celestia was fighting Cadence, Luna was using a potion spell to alleviate Fury's stomach.
Fear not, my Lightning Bug, for I shall save you from the bubbling hiccups! You shall be liberated!
She poured the potion on the desperate feline's stomach. And Fury felt different.
At first, he felt weird hiccuping even harder.
"Are you sure this is the right potion?!" Cadence asked
"It is!" Luna replied.
"Well I *hic* hope *hic* you're *hic* right, Moonpie, because I'm feeling *hic* super weird.*hic* " Fury said. He kept hiccuping.
But when all hope felt lost, after ten seconds Fury stopped hiccuping.
"Is it over?" Cadence asked.
"My love, how are you feeling?" Luna asked. "Do you feel alright?"
Celestia, instead of relief, felt anger. "No no no no! I can't believe I got distracted! I was this close to beating you and making you my prey!"
Night Fury felt himself over and was relieved that the hiccups were over.
"I… don't feel any more hiccups! You guys did it, you saved me!" Night Fury as a kangaroo did a victory dance. "How do you like that, Tia the Giant?"
Celestia grumbled at this.
"You may have won this day, Fury, but I will win someday and feast upon you!" Celestia declared. "You shall see!"
"If you say so." Fury shrugged. "Alright, are you gals ready to leave the comfort of my pouch?"
"Awww, but it is most comfortable in here." Luna whined. "I prefer this place over my bedroom!"
"You heard my boy!" Black Ice cried out. "You had your fun, but it's over. Leave him now! Come on!"
"Sorry guys, playtime's over." Fury said. "Unless you want my mom to be mad at you guys. Believe me, she can be pretty scary if she wished to be.
"Awwwww…" The three princesses sighed.
"Come on, princesses, we should leave before we cause anymore tension." Celestia said, getting not so enthusiastic responses from her fellow royals.
"Oh, drat it all!"
"Boooo!" But with the limit having been reached, the three princesses squirmed their way out of Fury's pouch, allowing him to transform back to his original form.
"Well, all good things must come to an end I suppose…" Luna said.
"Yeah, too bad. That was pretty fun." Cadence added.
"Hey, who said this had to be the last time? We just formed our secret society, so we can have these little meetups more often. And besides, we can come up with some new material as well." The three princesses looked at each other and smiled.
"I suppose you're right, Night Fury. We can make new games for us to play in the future. You were always the optimistic one." Luna chimed.
"And I plan on staying that way!" Fury called, walking over to her and whispering. "But if you would like, we can make that kangaroo trick a little… thing just between the two of us. Call it a little… romantic gesture if you will." He cooed.
"Private time." Fury winked at the lunar princess. Luna gave a knowing smile in return.
A giant kangaroo for a partner? Getting to rest in a warm, comfortable pouch at my pleasure? I might have to brush up on my shapeshifting so I can return the favor to him.
Luna gave a satisfied smile. Fury in turn felt ecstatic.
"Well, we certainly had quite an unexpected night of revelry," Celestia said chuckling. "But like Fury said, it won't last forever. However, I will make sure I get ready so next time I will not be outdone by you, ambassador." Celestia looked sharply at Fury.
"Don't get your head too far up in the clouds, I've got my own improvements to make." Fury shot back.
"Of course. But I couldn't help but notice… you called me Tia." Celestia said.
"Well I figured since Luna is my girlfriend and I call her Moonpie, I get to be a little more casual with you. Honestly we're kinda like siblings now!" Fury said.
"He isn't wrong, auntie." Cadence added. "He is technically family to the both of you. He's basically like the brother you never had."
Celestia chuckled at this. "I suppose you are. I guess I now understand what a younger brother is like." Fury smiled at her compliment, he felt special to be considered family to her. He felt so special that something unexpected happened. Cadence snickered at the sight.
"F-fury, are… are you wagging your tail?"
Fury looked behind and saw it. He tried to stop it but to no avail. "Heh heh, a little." He replied a little nervously.
Luna chuckled lightly. "Awww, do not worry my Lightning Bug, I think it is simply adorable." She said while embracing him causing him to blush even more.
"Aww, Luna." He said a little embarrassed but happy.
"I always knew my little Night Fury was always adorable." Black Ice added. "He was this way as a cub. You should have seen him when I gave him a bath!" The other princesses awwed at the visual of a young Night Fury being bathed, but Fury was a little too embarrassed with his mom doting over him.
"Ugh, I'm going to bed." Fury moaned, transforming into a firefly and buzzing away. "See ya, ladies! I gotta sleep in. The emperor will kill me if I don't meditate tomorrow!"
He flew off from the Canterlot's Palace and to his awaiting bed. The other princesses and Black Ice decided they should part ways and went to their respective rooms. To all involved, tonight was a special night. A night for friends, family, and the further strengthening of bonds.
While everyone was getting ready to sleep, a white light in the sky hovered over the city, watching over them as they dozed off to sleep.
"Soon… soon I will make my return and reunite with my family." The floating light said, disappearing into the night sky. Who is this mystery spirit, what do they want with the princesses and Night Fury, why does she consider them family? Well, those answers will come in due time. But tomorrow is a new day, and a new opportunity to bond and share.
