Twilight and her marefriend were cuddling in the soft, warm afterglow of their lovemaking. Tonight had been another one of Rainbow’s ideas, and as was to be expected of them, they were extremely cheesy.

They both loved it though. Perhaps it was because Rainbow Dash’s cloudhouse had served as a jungle – given the mess usually strewn around the house, it wasn’t far off from reality – although Rainbow’s impersonation of a royal guard had been anything but convincing. By the time they got to the good part, they were both laughing so hard they actually had to calm themselves down first.

True to the story they had been playing out, they were exhausted now. They were lying on Rainbow’s bed, simply enjoying the other’s company and closeness, giving them a much needed rest after tonight’s activities. They relaxed in the comfortable silence until Rainbow spoke up.

“Tonight was great, Twi,” she began. “You were really good at playing Daring Do.”

“Uh-huh,” Twilight answered. She knew Rainbow well enough to know that there was more. “But?”

“Well, I was thinking that, maybe the next time we should... it should totally be raining!” Rainbow giggled at her own suggestion.

“Raining? How would that work? It’s hard enough already to imagine this cozy bed we’re lying on is actually a deep pit in the middle of the jungle.”

“We do it in the shower,” Rainbow deadpanned. “Duh.”

Twilight rolled her eyes. This begged for a proper facehoof, but that would mean getting either of her forehooves to stop stroking Rainbow’s mane for a moment. Besides, Rainbow’s expression when she made another of those suggestions was just outright adorable. She always brought them like they were the most normal thing in the world, but with that smile that wordlessly said ‘We should totally do this’.

“Hey, the planning department is your part, remember?” Twilight joked. “Though... perhaps I can think of something for next time...”

“Aw, sweet! Mind sharing any details?”

“I’m... not exactly sure on the details yet,” Twilight lied, playfully. She too had been musing a bit about what they could do next time, and knew quite well what she wanted to do. However, not letting Rainbow in on the details beforehoof was fun. Twilight knew that Rainbow liked a bit of anticipation.

Twilight looked at her wing that was currently draped affectionately over Rainbow, and was also drenched in... stuff from earlier. Rainbow’s own weren’t much better off. “But speaking of showers...”

“Yeah. I know, I know. We need to get this stuff out. A few more minutes?”

Twilight nuzzled Dash. “Mmmm. That sounds fine to me,” she purred happily.

***

A few days later, Twilight was sitting in the library. Dash was still out on weather duty, and there weren’t many visitors, so she had plenty of time to think about her relationship with Rainbow. Well, it was not so much thinking about the actual relationship, but more coming up with a good idea for some fun tonight.

Dressup was always fun. First Rainbow would complain for half an hour about how stupid she looked in something, that it was totally uncool. The complaining always stopped the instant they reached the undressing part. The times Twilight felt slightly more “evil”, she would combine it with Rainbow’s favourite game, The Princess and her Loyal Subject. The already inappropriate title had become almost blasphemous when Twilight became an actual alicorn, but Rainbow didn’t love it any less because of that. On the contrary, Twilight was pretty sure that Rainbow loved it even more since then.

Yep, she definitely felt like going Princess tonight. Though remembering a few days earlier, if it was up to her they weren’t going to do dressup. Oh no, not at all. Twilight had sucked off Rainbow multiple times now, one time even taking her all the way. Whenever she prompted for Rainbow to return the favor though, Rainbow neatly avoided talking about it.

All these times, she had asked it nicely, as Twilight. Not as The Princess.

Her fantasy of what would happen after she went Princess was rudely interrupted by someone knocking on the door. “Come in, it’s open!” she said. She hadn’t even finished her sentence yet before the door already opened. “Hey Rainbow!” said Twilight happily, walking over to nuzzle her marefriend. “You know you don’t really have to knock, especially since you don’t wait for an answer anyway. How was your day at work?”

“Worst. Day. Ever!” Rainbow exclaimed, going off on a rant. “Like, I don’t know who makes these weather schedules, but if I did, I would like to have a word with him. Her. Them. Whatever! Whoever makes the schedule is stupid!”

“Whoa Rainbow, calm down,” said Twilight. In her mind, gears were already whirring at top speed, because this was bad. Twilight really wanted to do it tonight, and Rainbow would need to be more relaxed if she was going to pull that off.

“Seriously. Who thought it was a good idea to schedule ‘A thin layer of clouds during the day, then clear the skies an hour before sundown’ ? Couldn’t they just send over everything as one big cloud at the start and be done with it?”

“Rainbow...”

“No really,” Rainbow ranted on. It seemed an entire day’s frustration was being unleashed all at once. Which, if the stories about Rainbow’s coworkers were correct, Twilight couldn’t really blame her for. “And then there’s the fact that Cloud Kicker and following directions goes about as well together as Derpy and delivering mail! And she’s still one of the brighter minds there. It’s just... Gah! I hate my job sometimes!”

“Are you done now?” Twilight asked patiently. Everyone had a bad day once in a while.

“Yeah, I think so...”

“You didn’t mean that thing about Derpy, I hope?”

“I mentioned Derpy?”

“You compared her ability to deliver mail – which she does just fine, if you ask me – to Cloud Kicker following your orders,” Twilight recounted.

“Oh. I didn’t really mean that. The part about Derpy I mean. Yeah, she’s a bit clumsy sometimes, but she does get her stuff done in the end,” Rainbow said. “Cloud Kicker on the other hoof...” she snarled, her frustration welling up at the mention of the name alone.

“I think that’s enough for now,” Twilight said, calmly. It was best to stop Rainbow before she truly got on a roll.

“Yeah... You’re right. Hey! How about we have some s–” Rainbow suddenly cut off her sentence. “Oh! Hey there, Spike. Uh. Didn’t see you were here, even though... you’re usually... at the library... heheh.”

Twilight simply rolled her eyes. Spike paused from putting back books onto their respective shelves and followed her example. “Geez Rainbow. You can stop pretending I don’t know what you two are up to, you know?” he deadpanned.

“You mean he knows?” Rainbow asked Twilight. “How much did you tell him?”

“Uh, he already figured out the sleepovers with the Cutie Mark Crusaders a long time ago,” Twilight replied. She turned her attention towards Spike, “Can you watch over the library tonight? I’ll probably be back sometime tomorrow morning.”

“Sure. Have fun!”

“Bye Spike!” Rainbow chipped in, before she flew out of the library and into the fading light.

Twilight joined her in the evening sky. There weren’t many ponies around town at this hour anymore, much less so in the air. “Come on, let’s go for a nice romantic flight.”

“Aw come on Twi. Can’t we just, you know, get to things right now?”

“Why would I? It’s a nice evening to be out.”

Twilight continued to talk about bits and pieces of her day. About the new books that were delivered that morning. About the studying that she did during the day. About her thoughts wandering to Rainbow Dash during said studying.

Twilight didn’t mention the exact thoughts of course, but the smalltalk and the occasional silence in-between helped to relax Rainbow.

“You know, Twi?” Rainbow started. The sun had long since set behind the horizon, the moon and millions of stars taking its place as a source of light. The air was beginning to cool off, and the lights in the many houses that dotted Ponyville were being turned off one at a time as well. “This reminds me of when I was a filly.”

“Oh?” Twilight had heard this story a dozen times before, but it was a sweet tale, and she didn’t mind hearing it another time. She quite liked the twist at the ending as well.

“Yeah... I used to fly into the night all the time. Wanna know why?”

“Sure.”

“Because when the air’s cool and cold, and you’ve been flying in it a really long time, a warm shower is a lot nicer.”

“I really have to try that one day. It sounds so nice.”

“Hey, how about we take a shower, hmmm, together?” Rainbow asked, suggestively.

“Some other time. I want to know though, how can you fly all day long? Aren’t your wings sore by now?”

“Only a little,” Rainbow said proudly. Only the best flyers in Equestria could fly all day long. “Okay, maybe more than a little,” she admitted. “Actually, I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up.”

“Alright, sounds fair. And it is getting rather chilly out here. I think it’s time we went to your house.”

Rainbow didn’t need to be told that twice. Before Twilight even knew it, she had already raced off towards her cloudhouse. When Twilight finally arrived, Rainbow was waiting for her at the front door. She’d probably been there for a minute or two already, too.

“Uh, sorry about that, Twilight,” she quickly apologized. “But are we going to do it now?”

Twilight pondered for a moment if she should reveal what ‘it’ referred to tonight, but she decided against it. She had to wait for the right moment. “Yeah, but–”

“Alright!” Rainbow exclaimed, before speeding off inside.

“Geez, Rainbow. Can’t you relax for a bit?” Twilight finished, the words heard by nopony but herself.

“Come on, Twi! I’m waiting!” Rainbow shouted from inside.

“Well, I suppose here goes,” Twilight mumbled to herself, before she too went inside.

***

Rainbow knew Twilight was up to something when she didn’t follow her into the house immediately. When she finally did, she kept her waiting even longer by taking time to close the curtains. They seldom bothered to close the curtains, simply because of the few ponies still being out and about at this hour, none of them would be in the vicinity of her cloudhouse. Moreover, Twilight wasn’t just closing them, she was doing so at an agonizing pace.

Rainbow reminded herself that she shouldn’t complain about it. She got things her way often enough, and though Twilight sometimes took things very slow, those nights hadn’t been exactly unpleasant either. There was something about being denied what she wanted at first that made it really good when she finally got it.

With the curtains finally closed and the light in the bedroom at a romantic setting, Twilight seemed to finally getting to the good part. She walked slowly over to the bed – upon which Rainbow had been lying in wait the whole time – and sat on the floor.

Twilight just sat there, seemingly content and smiling at Rainbow, if not a little bit suggestive. Rainbow really had to ask her one day how she could do that, though right now, she just wanted sex. She had wanted that pretty much the moment she left from work – or, since she left for work. Twilight sometimes did this sort of teasing, where she kept postponing the eventual act seemingly forever. And now she was giving Rainbow a choice, except choice was a bit of a big word here.

Rainbow could remain as stubborn how she liked, but Twilight had infinite patience in these situations. Or at least she hadn’t even twitched that one time Rainbow tried it. The only other option would lead to what she really wanted much faster, but she would also be giving in to Twilight.

“Okay, fine. I give up. What are you up to?” Rainbow said. Maybe she could at least find out what Twilight had in store this time.

“I’ll whisper it if you come over here,” Twilight answered,

“Why can’t you just tell it? No-one’s gonna hear us anyway.”

“It’s a secret.”

Twilight logic. Rainbow wondered why she even tried in the first place, before she got up and walked over to Twilight. She was just about to sit down, just like Twilight, so that she could whisper whatever ‘secret’ this was into her ear, when the trap suddenly sprung. She saw Twilight’s horn light up, and the next moment her legs felt like lead. She tried to move them but it was no use.

She wasn’t panicking though – or at least not yet. Twilight sometimes did this, and it was usually pretty hot. “Very funny,” Rainbow deadpanned, but she played along for now. “At least tell me your secret now?”

“The secret is...” Twilight paused for dramatic effect, and stood up to move her head closer to Rainbow’s, before she whispered, “I’ll still use your favorite spell tonight.”

“Really?” Rainbow lit up, before she suddenly realized something. “Wait, we use that pretty much all the time.”

“Mmhmm. But,” her whisper became even quieter than it already was, “I never said I was going to cast it on you.”

By the time Rainbow realized the implications of that statement, Twilight had already cast the spell on herself. It didn’t take long for her reproductive parts to change sex, a fine stallionhood materializing down there. Twilight’s was always a little bit bigger than Rainbow’s. Not much, and Rainbow’s wasn’t exactly small either, but they didn’t have to measure it to know who had the biggest cock. They still measured them every once in a while anyway – for science.

“My Loyal Subject,” began Twilight as she addressed Rainbow, “I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but the Princess heard from reliable sources that you’ve not been so loyal as of late. Is that true?”

“It... Yes, your Highness,” Rainbow replied. The words sent a shiver of anticipation through Twilight. Rainbow got further into her role and gave a little bow as well. It wasn’t much of a bow, what with her hooves essentially glued to the floor, but it was the gesture that counted here.

“Very well then. I am not normally a Princess of mercy, but I have my needs too, so if you please me tonight in any way I want, I’ll let you off without further... consequences.” Twilight was about to say ‘punishment’, but that wasn’t really Rainbow’s thing, nor her own. ‘Consequences’ left it a bit in the middle. There never were any real consequences.

Twilight wondered idly if Rainbow would get the subtle hint. She normally wasn’t this Princess-y, so she thought that should be a clue. Plus, she had really emphasized on the word ‘any’. If Rainbow not responding immediately was anything to go by, then at least she was starting to suspect things. So now it was time for that extra push. “Loyal Subject! Your Princess demands an answer!”

Interrupting Rainbow’s thoughts gave her exactly the edge she needed.

“I... I would rather not face the consequences, your Highness.”

“Excellent choice.” Twilight did her best not to snicker as she said that last word. “You may start by stroking my... princesshood with one of your wings.”

Twilight kept a close eye on her “subject” as she felt the wing stroke her hardening shaft. She was quite good at guessing what went on in Rainbow’s mind in situations like this, and right now she guessed Rainbow was a bit torn. Twilight noticed that Rainbow wasn’t really paying much attention to what her wing was doing, as if she had her thoughts focused on something else. Perhaps she had figured it out by now and just wanted Twilight to confirm it. If not, she would like it if Twilight just told her what they were going to do tonight. On top of that Rainbow was probably also doubting whether to break character and ask about it, so Twilight decided to do that for her.

“Rainbow?”

“Twilight?”

“Stop stroking for a moment,” Twilight said gently. “You wanted to ask me something?”

“Yeah... I... you’re not going to put it, you know, in there tonight, are you?” she asked, as she wiggled her hindquarters a little.

“Nope.”

“You mean you’re going to...?”

“Mmhm,” she smiled. As much as she hoped that Rainbow would go through with it tonight, she would give up and just forget about it if Rainbow was too uncomfortable with it. Perhaps it was a bit sudden after all. She moved to sit directly in front of Rainbow again, looking deep into her eyes as she suggested, “You know... I can stop if you really don’t want to...”

This was it. Now that Rainbow knew what she was up to, Twilight was careful not to move too quickly, giving Rainbow plenty of time to object if she wanted to. Silence counted as objecting in these situations; she needed to hear it from Rainbow herself. Twilight was waiting for an answer, but unlike the Princess a few moments ago, she let Rainbow take all the time she wanted.

Rainbow didn’t need to think long about it. She seldom did, really. “No,” she said firmly. “I want to do it.”

“Really?” asked Twilight, more to have Rainbow confirm it than that it was an actual question.

“Yeah. Just... gimme a moment. Still a bit nervous here.”

“That’s okay. Take all the time you need, I’m in no hurry.” Twilight was there for Rainbow when she needed it most, stroking her mane with a forehoof, comforting her and holding her close. “Don’t worry. I’ll be careful. And you know the safeword.”

“Heh, not much of a word,” Rainbow chuckled. “But yeah, I know the signal.” A silence fell, Twilight and undoubtedly Rainbow as well thinking about what was to come. Finally, after taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out again, Rainbow spoke up, “Well, let’s do this.”

Twilight withdrew her forehoof from Rainbow’s mane and frowned. Switching to her ‘Princess voice’, she said, “Let’s do this what?”

“Uh...” Rainbow answered, momentarily lost before she took the hint. “Oh! I meant to say: Thank you for being so merciful, my Princess. Please, let me prove my loyalty to you.”

“Good. For a moment I thought you had forgotten who I am,” Twilight said, though she gave Rainbow a reassuring wink as she spoke. “Please resume where you left off.”

Truth be told, Rainbow was still a little nervous.

She was just a subject that had agreed to please her Princess tonight. It was only now that she thought about it a little bit more, while stroking her Princess’ dangling dick at the same time, that she realized how clever Twilight had played it.

She had actually given her numerous occasions to back out, or at least ask what she was up to, yet Rainbow went along with it all the time. Fair enough, her little break was the only obvious timeout she’d be likely to get this evening, but Twilight had given it, and she had passed it up.

Rainbow averted her gaze from her Princess, and especially her hardening shaft. As a subject, it wasn’t her place to stare at such things unless told otherwise, and besides, she would be getting a close-up view of it soon enough anyway. She still kept a watch on it from the corner of her eyes though, to make sure her wing only touched her Princess’ penis and nothing else. After all, the Princess hadn’t said she could touch other parts.

Through her sensitive wing, Rainbow could feel the pulsing of her Princess’ shaft. It already felt hard as a rock, and yet whenever she quickly glanced at it, it seemed bigger still. ‘Seemed’ was the keyword here, for she was pretty sure it was just her imagination playing tricks on her in this new situation. It felt really big though.

The actual moment for which she was the most nervous was over before she even fully realized it. The Princess simply ordered her to stop stroking and open her mouth, both of which she did without really thinking about it. The next moment Twilight was already standing on her hindlegs, her forehooves on Rainbow’s back and the royal cock wedged in her mouth.

Rainbow had expected it to be scary, or make her extremely nervous, or at least something, but the only thing that really happened was a lot of tension vanishing.

“Loyal subject!” Twilight’s ‘Princess voice’ snapped Rainbow’s attention back to the present. “Your Princess does not have all day (but maybe all night), so it would be appreciated if you started sucking now.” To emphasize her point, the Princess wiggled her hips around a little.

With no other options left nor wanted, Rainbow obliged. She twirled her tongue around the otherwise familiar object, imitating how Twilight did it, which earned an instant gasp from the Princess above her.

After a minute or so of trying out various things, the hips in front of her started to move. Slowly, and only a little in the beginning; just enough to remind that Rainbow was absolutely not in control of anything tonight.

Twilight was in total control of Dash’s body at this point, though she didn’t really kick on the feeling of having such power. However, she knew that her pegasus had a kink for when she did this, and that knowledge drove Twilight’s state of arousal to new heights.

She started out real slow to let Rainbow get a bit accustomed to it. Besides, she wanted to make it last as long as possible, in case this was the one and only time Dash would do this. It felt incredibly good though, and it didn’t take long for a steady rhythm to develop.

In fact, she forced herself to slow down after a while, otherwise things would be over all too soon. She took the moment to check up a bit on her loyal subject, though when she carefully touched one of the extended wings with a hoof, it was very clear that Rainbow was immensely turned on by this. The wing twitched wildly in response to her touch, and she was pretty sure she heard a muffled moan from underneath her.

Content that her subject was enjoying what she had to offer, the Princess allowed herself to speed up again. Her thrusts were now more forceful than before, and she relocated her forehooves to the back of Rainbow’s head, to make sure she took as much of her as she could take. She had to keep telling herself that it was Rainbow, and that she should definitely not force her to take all of it – Twilight hadn’t done so the first couple of times either – but it was starting to become difficult to keep herself from doing just that.

She was starting to lose control over herself.

With every thrust, the pressure of Twilight’s forehooves, not to mention the speed and intensity of each buck of her hips, grew rapidly. Rainbow felt her Princess’ magic-borne shaft hitting the back of her throat alarmingly often now, and with enough force behind it to indicate that the Princess wanted to go to deeper. Rainbow knew how much she had to fight to repress that urge when Twilight sucked her off, and given how helpless she currently was, had a moment of genuine fear that her marefriend wouldn’t be able to, before she remembered it was Twilight.

Rainbow was sometimes jealous at how good that mare was at keeping her cool. She could tease Rainbow endlessly, without showing any sign of stiff wings herself. Yes, she could lose herself completely, but she usually only did so in positions Rainbow was comfortable with. If she did it now and forced Rainbow to take all her length the first time she did this, it would actually mean that Rainbow was just too good at this. As much as Rainbow liked giving herself compliments, she knew she could probably have done better, especially if she had been more relaxed to begin with.

From the corner of her eyes, Rainbow saw her Princess’ massive wings starting to flap. Despite them being stiff to the point that flying was now impossible, they still added plenty of power behind Twilight’s thrusts with their momentum. Being a pegasus herself, Rainbow knew how hard it was, if possible at all, to keep her wings in check during sex. What worried her more, though, was that Twilight didn’t seem to realize they were moving. Twilight’s wings were much bigger than Rainbow’s own, and in a situation like this that meant any result of their movement was also more pronounced. Stronger. More forceful.

If Rainbow hadn’t been afraid a moment ago, then she certainly was now. She could feel that Twilight was still trying to keep herself in check, but at the same time it was becoming obvious she was starting to fail at it. It was becoming difficult to keep the invading cock from entering her throat, and were Twilight to continue like this, that would indeed happen sooner rather than later.

And for some reason the fact that, right now, there wasn’t much Rainbow could do to prevent any of that from happening was becoming too much for her, in the best sense possible. She hadn’t really noticed how incredibly turned on she was until Twilight touched one of her wings. The touch had been soft and gentle, but the tingling sensation that followed immediately had been intense, much more so than usual. It was at that moment that she had realized how much she was actually enjoying it herself, and an orgasm had started to build up.

That orgasm was approaching fast now, and judging by the Princess’ flapping wings, she wasn’t far off either. Rainbow knew that Twilight’s wings only started doing that at most ten or so seconds before release.

In the middle of all this, Rainbow felt very small. The Princess was currently overshadowing her in pretty much every way. Her moans were louder, her wings were an order of magnitude bigger, and she was both literally and figuratively above Rainbow.

If she were able to think clearly, Twilight would have noticed all of this too, and how Rainbow was proving that she was a good loyal subject after all. Maybe even how it wasn’t just Twilight who was enjoying this, because Rainbow was as well.

None of that was actually going through her mind. Right now, her only coherent thought was that she shouldn’t add yet more force behind her thrusts, even though she was aware that she was rapidly losing control over that last bit of self-control. It was that she was already at the brink of releasing into her loyal subject, or she might have let go of any and all restraint and forced Rainbow to take her all the way, assuming that was even possible in this position.

Without much warning besides a grunt, Twilight clamped her forehooves down on Rainbow’s head and gave a mighty last thrust, burying her cock into her mouth as deep as it could go. She didn’t really care who or what was sucking her off anymore. Besides, her subject had agreed to please her in any way she wanted, and this was definitely what the Princess wanted.

Her penis now thoroughly secured in its final position, she began unloading wave after wave of seed into her subject’s mouth. She felt Dash’s body trembling immensely as well, and though it was nice that she had apparently enjoyed it too, it only served to lengthen her own release.

Eventually, the trembling of her subject ceased, and she spurted one last large rush of seed. It turned out her own seemingly endless reserves had a limit after all.

Twilight could feel the little shocks of pleasure from her loyal subject squirming around her now-sensitive length. Gingerly, she withdrew it, and it emerged with a wet pop from between Rainbows lips. She watched her marefriend let out a miserable, delighted croak before her head hit the floor between her legs, practically passing out with a giddy smile and a trail of fluid running from her lips.

For her own part, Twilight carefully collapsed onto her side, trying not to jostle Rainbow too much in the process. There she let herself relax, at long last, and put her head right down too, mirroring Rainbows exhaustion to a T.

That went well, Twilight thought, just before she passed out in kind.

***

When Rainbow opened her eyes again, the first thing she noticed was a distinct lack of cock stuffing her mouth. Well, that was pretty hard to miss after all. Another thing was that her legs were no longer glued to the floor. Instead, she was lying comfortably on her side.

“Hey Rainbow,” she heard a soft voice say. Lifting up her head and swiveling it towards where the voice came from, she saw Twilight sitting next to her, wearing a slightly worried but mostly very pleased expression.

Rainbow tried to sit up, failed, then succeeded in doing so at the second attempt. She felt really tired. “Hey Twilight,” she said, before she coughed a few times. “Blergh.”

“Here, take this,” said Twilight, offering her a glass of water at the same time. Rainbow accepted it gratefully and drank down its contents. She wasn’t really averse to the idea of getting stuff in her mouth, mostly because it felt really nice when Twilight did the same for her, but Rainbow liked to clear out the aftertaste quite soon afterwards.

“Thanks. How... how long was I out?” Rainbow knew it was one of her weaknesses. After a particularly powerful orgasm, she could just zone out of things for a short while.

“Not long. You’ve been out for longer,” Twilight replied. She was always straight to the point in situations like this, which Rainbow appreciated. “I guess that means you enjoyed it, right?”

Rainbow had wondered how long it would be before Twilight brought that up. She couldn’t blame her; she would have done the exact same.

“Yeah... in a weird kind of way, but... oh screw it, you saw what happened. How about you?”

“You really need me to answer that?”

“Well... Not really, no. I know you loved it.”

“Yeah. It was amazing, Rainbow. I mean, I might have gone a little overboard on the Princess thing but, you know, I wasn’t really sure if you would go through with it otherwise.”

“A little?” Rainbow asked.

“Uhm, I might have got a bit carried away,” Twilight admitted.

“A bit?” Rainbow asked again. “Wait, you really didn’t notice, did you?”

“Notice what?”

“Oh geez. Really? I think you were losing it at the end.”

“Oh that. Yeah, uhm... Let’s just say I noticed it, but... I’m sorry if I was too hard on you, Rainbow.”

“Well, things were getting pretty rough, but it was also... really... hot.” Rainbow’s voice became quieter and quieter at the last few words. “So don’t be sorry.”

“Really? You mean... there’s going to be... a next time?” Twilight asked, her eyes literally sparkling from joy at the prospect alone.

“Look who’s the sex-crazed mare now,” Rainbow retorted. Twilight sometimes teased her about being too focused on sex, and Rainbow was happy to pester her back with it every once in a while. “But yeah, I don’t know why I avoided it all those times in the past. Just not too often, okay? Oh, and you might wanna keep your wings in check next time.”

“My wings?”

“On second thought, scratch that bit. I won’t deny that it was a bit scary when they started, you know, flapping and all that, but you know what that does to me.”

Twilight smiled. “I do.” She planted a kiss on Rainbow’s lips. “I love you, Rainbow.”

“I love you too, Twilight,” said Rainbow, her voice soft and very unlike the Rainbow most ponies knew.

Twilight sighed happily to herself as she lay in bed with Rainbow a few minutes later. The pegasus had fallen asleep the moment her head met with the pillow, though Twilight was still awake. She was enjoying the lingering afterglow of everything that had happened this evening, idly stroking Rainbow’s mane in the meantime. Her Rainbow. With that, she closed her eyes as well, joining her companion in the land of dreams.

This evening, one of those dreams had become a reality.
