"Sure is nice of you to check up on her," said Pinkie as she followed Twilight down the streets of Ponyville, on their way to visit Fluttershy.
"Yeah, well, I haven't seen her in a while. Nor have I seen Rainbow Dash, for that matter." Twilight said.
"I wonder what they've been up to...." said Pinkie thoughtfully.
They both trotted along out of Ponyville and onto Fluttershy's cottage. They stopped before the door to said cottage, and knocked politely. They waited for a while, but there was no answer.
"Flutters?" Twilight called out as she knocked again. "You in there?" She knocked once more, only for the door to swing open by itself.
"Huh," mumbled Pinkie. "That's strange. I guess she's not home."
"But she usually is home at a time like this," replied Twilight. She thought for a moment, then made her decision. "I think we go in and check up on her."
"Okey!" Pinkie said happily as she followed Twilight inside.
They walked into the cottage, expecting animals to be all over the place, but no, there was nothing, no animals, and nopony.
"That's really weird." commented Twilight. "Maybe she-" Twilight suddenly stopped speaking, her ears standing up at the sudden sound. It was a 'thump, thump, thump' sound, it was steady and even rhythmic, and it was coming from upstairs.
"Maybe she what?" asked Pinkie.
"Shh!" replied Twilight. She listened even closer to find out if her ears were tricking her, but they weren't. She really was hearing this sound.
"You hear that?" asked Twilight.
Pinkie listened closely for a moment, before saying, "Yeah, I hear it."
"Pinkie," said Twilight, growing paranoid for the safety of Fluttershy. "Grab something, anything, and make sure it's heavy. Fluttershy might be in trouble."
Pinkie was about to laugh at how silly Twilight sounded, but she saw the seriousness in her friend's face. "Ok," she replied. She grabbed a heavy-looking chair. She tested it's weight. It would do.
Twilight used her magic to obtain a knife from the kitchen, before making her way for the stairs. She quickly ran up the stairs with Pinkie following close behind. They both stopped before a door, where the thumping sound was even louder. They both listened closely, and they found that there was even a moaning sound coming from behind the door. Twilight recognized the moaning voice as coming from Fluttershy.
"She must be moaning in pain!" Twilight whispered frantically to Pinkie. "Ok, on the count of 3, I'll open the door slowly and sneak attack whoever might be hurting Fluttershy. Ok? 1..."
Twilight tensed up.
"2..."
Pinkie tensed up as well.
"3!" She creaked open the door a little bit and peered inside....only for her to quickly and silently close the door again. She leaned back and breathed heavily, not sure whether or not her eyes would ever unsee what she had just seen.
"What's wrong, Twilight?" Pinkie asked. "Is it that brutal?"
"W-well..." Twilight stammered, blushing deeply, "I, uh, I.....Fluttershy is fine. Let's go." Twilight started her way down the stairs again.
"Ok, now you've got me curious. I'm going to take a look in there, too." Pinkie then opened the door a creak and peered inside as well....only for her to have the same reaction as Twilight.
"Uh, Twilight?" Pinkie asked nervously.
"Yeah?" Twilight barely squeaked.
"You know how you said that Fluttershy was fine?" Pinkie gulped.
"Yeah?"
"Well....so is Rainbow Dash...."
"I know, Pinkie. I know."
"I also saw Applejack in there...."
"Pinkie. I know. I saw it. And now I require a spell to unsee it."
They stood there, staring at each other awkwardly. Suddenly, Pinkie spoke.
"Twilight?"
"Yes, Pinkie?"
"Let's bolt."
"I agree."
And then they bolted.
And from that day onward, Twilight was mentally scarred forever.
A Week later.....Twilight is still haunted by that day. She didn't mind the fact that they all had a consensual relationship with each other. The fact that she saw them performing in an act such as that is what scarred her and Pinkie for life.
"Oh, Celestia, why...?"
