//------------------------------// // The Law // Story: Oral Pleasing Is The Law // by Bad Dragon //------------------------------// “Luna, I understand you don’t want to expose yourself after being away on the moon for so long. It might be too much too quickly. But don’t worry, we can take it slow. And be assured that I shall be at your side watching over you.” “That only makes it worse,“ Luna said. ”The mere thought of it is making my stomach churn. And you say there’s going to be at least one hundred of them?” “Indeed. The law says at least one hundred.” “That’s a stupid rule.” “It’s your rule. You suggested this Equestrian law right before… your Nightmare Night incident. Don’t you remember writing the paragraph?” Celestia opened the tome. “Look here! See? You literally wrote: ‘Just as we rule with our mouths, so too must we serve with our mouths. And this oral pleasing must be performed on at least a hundred members at least every hundred years. In your honor, and despite the counsel’s many reservations, I accepted your suggestion without hesitation.” “You can not be serious with this, Celestia!” “Well, on one front there is me being serious, and on the other front, there is also the Law that must be obeyed even by us. Especially by us!” “This Law is a joke, sister, and you know it.” “Oh, but it is no joking matter. I have been keeping to it every hundred years as your written last will demanded of me. Since then, it is a duty of every princess to perform in the name of the Law.” “No, I will not sink to that level.” “Do not worry. Nopony expects much from you, my little sister; but to ease your anxiety, I shall explain to you what I have learned with a millennium of experience.” “I did not expect you to take it seriously.” “Sometimes you have to encourage the members a bit before they come forward, but more often than not, just seeing others enjoying themselves stimulates them enough, and that invigorates others to engage in the activities as well. You may start with full control, but I assure you, that will not last for long when they get into it.” “Celestia, I must admit that I am really scared. Is there any way for me to get out of this ordeal?” It is the law, but know that I understand your concerns. It wasn't easy for me either when I had to face them all alone for a thousand years as you wished of me.” “I am sorry I did that to you, sister. I am so sorry for everything.” “It is okay, Luna. Over the centuries, I have learned to embrace the activity in thine honor. To be forthcoming, I am actually looking forward to this. Seeing you pleasing ponies will be exuberating to me. It will present an opportunity for us to bond, in more ways than one.” “You still have not forgiven me for what I did a millennium ago, have you, Celestia? That is why you are doing this to me, is it not?” “No, you are wrong. I will merely take my pleasures from seeing you bring joy to ponies. There is nothing in me that would seek revenge against you, Luna.” “Still, you will be watching me as I take the blunt end of it.” “That I will. And if things get too tough for you, I will join in the fun.” “I do not see how that would be helpful.” “Oh, I believe I understand now. You wish to prove that you can take care of the members yourself. I was merely offering my assistance, but seeing that you do not want any, I will let you push it through yourself. I’ll just do the little foreplay intro at the start, and then I shall leave you to my guards and the rest of our subjects.” “Look, I am sorry for all I have done. Please do not punish me further. Has a thousand years of banishment not been enough?” “I did not mean to upset you, Luna. I was actually hoping you would finally realize that this is what you are good for.” “I do not know what to expect. It is all very overwhelming. The thought of me, in the midst of it all, and handling my own sister as well... It does not feel right. “Best to not make any plans, and just take things as they come to you.” “I do not wish to be anywhere near them when they come. I did not plan for this when I returned from the moon.” “No plans needed. It is less stressful if you wing it.” “With my wings? What kind of debauchery has taken root in Equestria while I was gone?” “With your mouth, of course. But if you do a flap of your wings at the peaks, you are sure to receive a cheer from everypony. I speak from experience.” “Hold on, will I be required to handle more than one at a time?” “But of course. Now let us put a stop to our lollygagging and make our way to the Great Hall right now where the gang party awaits us. They will all be there, anxiously waiting for your entrance and oral performance.” “Speaking of gagging, that is too many guards, sister! I can not service them all at once…” “You must and you will. Sure, I will admit that sometimes the grand ganging does get a bit unruly in the Great Hall, but as long as you do your best to please them, things will work out in the end. Your mere presence there will be stimulating to them. Trust me! And when you open your mouth to them, they will not be able to hold any ill will toward you. Not that anypony does, of course!” “I did not expect such a forceful welcome after centuries of solitude. It seems I still have my debts to pay, after all...” “That is the spirit, little sister! We are but servants to the rally gang. In fact, I have wanted to ask you in all that time. Did you, perhaps, consider this event to take place more often than once every 100 years? I think it would be a great idea, perhaps even every year, what do you think, Luna? We could even name the holiday in thy honor. How does ‘Enter Luna’ sound to you? It would indicate to them an opportunity to penetrate that thick shell of yours. They’d get to know you from inside. Or would you prefer ‘Gang-up on Luna’ to indicate the numbers you’ll go through every time? Ponies rarely see you, but if we make you a holiday, everypony will look forward to your entrance and will be eager to connect with you on a deeper level. It will not be a mere dream for them anymore.” “No! It is a terrible idea. I’ve seen enough of their dirty dreams to know where this is going. I do not wish my nightmares to become reality. Besides that, the law is clear; only every 100 years should we be forced into this debauchery. No more should be required of me.” “But the law doesn't forbid it if you were to desire it more often.” “Celestia, you have got to be kidding me.” “Well, here we are, Luna. I can already hear the eager stallions.”
