Starcrasher watched Rainbow Dash leave, then turned to his prize. "Looks like it's just you and me princess" he bowed, then started laughing

"W-why are you helping her?" Twilight asked, quivering in fear

"We have our... Agreements" he said

"She's lying to you! How can you not see that? Get me out of here and I will protect you! I promise!"

"I don't need your protection, I trust Rainbow. She needs me"

Twilight laughed "Rainbow only thinks about herself. She'll do what she can to make herself better, not caring who she has to use. Rainbow doesn't need anypony"

"Shut up! Just shut up! If she didn't care about me, why would she give me you?"

"Pets need to have their toys" she spat

I'm not her pet!" He shouted. He put his hoof under her muzzle and forced her head up "I own you"

"Did Rainbow tell you that, or did you decide for yourself?" She mocked

"I do what Rainbow asks, because then maybe, just maybe she'll think I'm worthy, ok!"

Twilight uncontrollably laughed  for a while "you love Rainbow Dash? You can't even fly!"

"SHUT UP!" He shouted

Twilight continued laughing "She's not the kind of pony to fall in love anyway, she's too in love with herself"

"I'm going to enjoy hurting you" he said. "Don't you dare mock Rainbow"

"You must feel so brave, hurting a bound, defenceless mare. Rainbow will just love that courage"

"Intolerable little bitch" he spat. Starcrasher picked up the gag rainbow had on and rammed it into Twilights mouth

Twilight started laughing again, but was mostly blocked by the gag

Starcrasher sighed, then pulled the gag out "what's so funny?" He asked

"I've got more of Rainbows saliva in my mouth than you will in your entire lifetime" she laughed

Starcrasher looked down at the gag, covered in saliva then slowly ran his tongue up it, blushing slightly

"Did you seriously just do that?" Twilight asked, too shocked to laugh. She stared disbelievingly at him

"Just... Don't" he sighed

"I... I don't know what to say" she said "you really do care for her, don't you?"

"Please don't tell her... I can't let you go, but I can try to make her go easy in you..."

She nodded "what can you do to stop her? She's going to wreck me..."

"I'll tell her you're more useful to me unharmed or something..." He undid her cuffs and pointed to a corner "over there is probably more comfortable"

She nodded in appreciation. She lifted a hoof towards her horn, getting close to the ring

"NO! Don't touch that. Sit down over there" 

She bowed her head and sat down. She looked around the room and noticed the corner was out of the way of most of the workstations, which suited her fine. 

Starcrasher lifted her hooves above her head and locked them into a pair of shackles "just try to stay quiet? Maybe them Rainbow will leave you for longer"

She nodded her thanks, but was still annoyed at her current predicament 

Starcrasher started rearranging his equipment, but Rainbow burst through the door

"We've got a very special guest coming" she announced
