> The Power of Suggestion > by Spell 25 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Power of Suggestion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Sparkle was interrupted from her reading by a knock at the library door. Without a word of response, she slowly, deliberately placed her bookmark, closed the book, and set it on her reading desk. It wasn’t normally her policy to keep patrons waiting, but this was no patron. She would recognize that knock anywhere. She smiled into the dim lighting of the library. “Come in!” she said at last. With a creak, the door opened, and in stepped Rainbow Dash. The poor thing walked on shaky legs, her posture stiff and cautious, never quite meeting Twilight’s eyes. “Why, hello, Rainbow Dash!” “H-hi, Twilight…” Twilight eyed her closely. “Is… is everything alright?” “I dunno.” She rubbed one foreleg with another. “Just thought I’d… stop by, I guess.” “Well, I’m glad you did. Would you like a drink, or something?” “Maybe some water?” “Sure thing.” Twilight stepped into the kitchen, grabbing a glass in her magic and filling it at the tap. “Are you sure you’re feeling well, Rainbow?” she called over her shoulder. “You seem a bit… I don’t know, spooked or something.” “I’m fine,” Rainbow’s voice replied. “I’ve just had a lot on my mind.” Glass full, Twilight trotted back into the main room and passed Rainbow her drink. “Do you want to talk about it?” Rainbow downed the water in three mighty gulps, stifled a belch, and set the glass aside. “Not really…” “Really?” Twilight raised an eyebrow. “Rainbow, it’s almost midnight. I doubt you’d have just dropped by unless you wanted to talk.” Finally, Rainbow met her eyes, and every clock in the library seemed to skip a tick. “Really, Rainbow,” she continued. “You can tell me anything. I’m your friend.” Before Twilight could even register the movement, Rainbow darted forward and kissed her. Her purple wings flared briefly in surprise, then relaxed. She closed her eyes, cautiously returning the kiss as it evolved into something hungry and fierce. She had to fight back a moan as Rainbow’s tongue slid past her lips, melting into the sensations as they threatened to overwhelm her. She felt Rainbow’s hoof gently touch her cheek, and with that contact, the moment shattered. Rainbow broke the kiss, backing several steps away with wide, panicked eyes. “Oh my gosh, I’m so, so sorry, Twilight!” she said, her voice cracking. “I don’t know what came over me! I just… I…” “It’s alright, Rainbow,” Twilight said, her voice quiet even as it stopped Rainbow in her tracks. “I’m not mad.” “Y-you aren’t?” “Not at all. Come on, let’s have a seat.” Twilight indicated a couple of cushions to the side of the room, and they did just that. “But like I said,” she continued once they were comfortable, “I’m not mad. But I have to ask: Why? Why did you kiss me?” “I… I d-don’t know…” Rainbow placed her head in her hooves, her mane falling before her eyes. “I just… I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind lately! When I’m doing weather work, or practicing my flying, or just trying to go to sleep at night, you keep popping in my head. I think of us kissing and… and…” “More than kissing?” Twilight supplied quietly. “Oh Celestia…” If it was possible, Rainbow hunkered lower in her seat. “You must think I’m some kind of pervert.” “No! No, Rainbow. Hey, look at me.” Rainbow finally, with a great deal of effort, did as Twilight asked. “I would never think that of you,” Twilight said, looking into her eyes. “You’re my friend. And it’s alright if… if you’ve been having these feelings.” “It is?” Rainbow asked in a tiny voice. “Mm-hmm.” She leaned forward and gently touched Rainbow’s hoof with her own. Rainbow didn’t pull away. “How long have you felt this way?” “Not very long. A few days or so. It’s probably just a crush or something, but holy crap is it hitting me hard!” She fidgeted in her seat, finally pulling her hoof from Twilight’s comforting touch. “Th-that’s why I came here, I guess. I couldn’t sleep, and I figured flying for a bit would clear my head. Then, next thing I know, I’m knocking on your door. I didn’t plan on any of this, you have to believe me!” “I know you didn’t, Rainbow,” Twilight said with a smile. “And, of course, can I just play it cool and—I dunno—see if you feel the same way? No! That would be too conventional! No, I have to kiss you like some kind of hormonal teenager and then unload on you.” She rubbed her forehead with a hoof. “So lame…” “It’s alright, Rainbow. Really.” It was Twilight’s turn to avert her eyes. “And, truth be told, it’s not entirely one-sided. I’ve actually had my eye on you for a while now.” Rainbow’s head shot up, eyes wide. “Wait, what?! Really?” Twilight merely nodded. “For a bit longer than a few days, though.” Silence wasn’t an unusual feature of Golden Oaks Library, but rarely had it been accompanied with such resounding awkwardness. Rainbow, rubbing one foreleg with the other, said with shaking voice: “So… uh, what happens now?” “Now?” Twilight raised her hoof and gently touched it to Rainbow’s cheek. “That’s up to you, Rainbow. I’m game for anything.” Rainbow looked deep, deep into Twilight’s eyes, visibly swallowed the last of her reservations, and made her decision. Their lips met for a second time—gentler now, warmer, both of them melting into it. Rainbow raised a hoof to Twilight’s shoulder and gently pushed her onto her back, stepping above her as their tongues continued their dance. Rainbow placed her hoof—softly, as if asking for permission—on Twilight’s cutie mark, and Twilight moaned in response. Encouraged, Rainbow began to massage her flank, slowly lowering herself as she did until she lay sprawled across Twilight’s slightly larger body. Rainbow felt her thigh come into contact with something damp between Twilight’s legs. Startled, she pulled away from Twilight’s lips in order to mutter an apology, only for a purple hoof to cover her mouth. Their eyes met. Twilight smiled, and then nodded. Rainbow hesitated a moment, biting her lip, and finally pressed her leg back into Twilight’s crotch. Burying her face in Twilight’s chest, she maneuvered herself so that she straddled one of Twilight’s thighs, pressing her own folds against it. And slowly, like a pony walking out onto a frozen lake, she began to move, grinding and sliding herself against Twilight’s leg, making sure to press her own leg into Twilight’s nethers as she did. Pleasure washed over both of them, dancing along their bodies in the form of little shivers and twitches. The silence of the library was replaced with little moans, the sound of fur rubbing against fur, and faint, wet noises. Twilight’s wings, already spread rigid against the floor, raised and wrapped around Rainbow, hugging her close. Rainbow barely noticed, however, most of her attention spent on her movements and the pleasure and the sudden fruition of her recent imaginings. How many times over the past few days had she daydreamed of something like this? Of having Twilight’s body against hers, and of pleasuring her alicorn friend and being pleasured in turn? She hadn't kept count. All she could be bothered to think through the foggy mess of her mind was how funny life could be. Just a few days ago, everything had been status quo. Then, without warning, she’d come to see her friend in a new light. And finally, one simple confession later, and her fantasies were coming true. Rainbow ceased her motions, pulling slightly away from Twilight’s embrace. Twilight choked off a frustrated groan and said, “Rainbow? What’s wrong?” “I just… I just can’t believe this is happening,” she said, meeting Twilight’s eyes. “It’s so… weird!” “Good weird, or bad weird?” “Oh, definitely good weird! But… sudden, you know?” Twilight’s features gave the tiniest of droops. “Do you want to take it slow. We don't have to rush into anything.” Rainbow appeared to mull it over briefly, then said, “Mmmm, nah. You know me, Twi. When have I ever wanted to take things slow?” She gave a nervous chuckle. “But… are you sure about this? I kinda sprung all this on you all of a sudden.” Twilight smiled. “I’m not complaining.” “So you… really want to do this?” “You have no idea how much,” Twilight replied. “But, would you mind if we moved this somewhere more comfortable?” “Sure.” Rainbow started to stand, only for Twilight’s wings, still wrapped about her body, to pull her back down. “Twilight, what—” “Shhhh.” Twilight’s horn began to glow, and then, with a flash and a pop and a feeling of being turned inside out, the two mares winked out of the main room and directly onto Twilight’s bed upstairs. “Whoa…” Rainbow breathed. Taking the initiative, Twilight pulled Rainbow in for yet another kiss, then placed one of her hooves to the one Rainbow still had against her flank and guided it between her legs. Rainbow’s lips tensed briefly as she felt her hoof touch Twilight’s pussy, but she took the hint, rubbing at Twilight’s lower lips with only a little awkwardness. Twilight moaned from Rainbow’s touch, darting her tongue deep into Rainbow’s mouth as the pegasus continued to rub her wet marehood. Hearing Twilight moan—moan from the pleasure she was giving her—awoke something deep inside of Rainbow, a primal, animal urge to give Twilight as much pleasure as she could, to make the alicorn sing her satisfaction into the night. She wrapped her lips around Twilight’s tongue, sucking it to keep it in her mouth as she pulled away from Twilight’s lips. Centimeter by centimeter, the slick muscle slid past the seal of Rainbow’s lips, until finally the tongue popped out of Rainbow’s mouth. They looked at each other—Rainbow with a smirk; Twilight will her tongue still hanging out, nearly panting from the ministrations of Rainbow’s hoof. Rainbow mustered all her confidence, and said, “Wanna kick this up a notch?” Twilight merely nodded, biting her lip. Never moving her hoof from Twilight’s opening, Rainbow began to kiss and lick and nip her way down her body. Rainbow took only one detour to nibble Twilight’s wing, starting at the shoulder and moving down to the wrist. The feeling of teeth and lips and tongue against her sensitive and still relatively new limbs caused Twilight’s back to arch, grabbing onto one of Rainbow’s forelegs and holding it tightly. Finally, Rainbow arrived at her destination, spreading Twilight’s hind legs and looking down at what lay waiting there. Rainbow stared at the other mare’s privates as if they might bite her, the sound of her gulping audible throughout the room. Ever so slowly, she lowered her head until her nose was nearly touching Twilight. She licked her lips, then extended her tongue and licked Twilight’s lips, getting her first taste of mare. It took Rainbow some moments to find a rhythm, awkwardly running her tongue along Twilight’s slit, but the other mare’s pleased squirming emboldened her, and soon enough she was getting into it, wrapping her forelegs around Twilight’s thighs as she ate her out with increasing gusto. She was rather surprised to find that she enjoyed the taste, plunging her tongue deep into Twilight’s cavern to gather up as much as she could. And even more than that, she enjoyed the effect it was having on Twilight, who clamped her hooves over Rainbow’s head and held it to her crotch, letting out little gasps and moans. Taking the alicorn’s tensing body and arching back as signs that she was close, Rainbow withdrew her tongue and suckled Twilight’s clit into her mouth, with just the faintest teasing touch of teeth. Twilight felt herself topple over the edge, performing the fastest sit-up of her life and curling over Rainbow’s head. She screamed, trying in vain to muffle the sound with her hoof as Rainbow continued to lick her, drinking up the flow of her release. Finally, spent, Twilight fell back against the bed, panting for breath and covering her eyes with a foreleg. Rainbow withdrew from between Twilight’s legs, muzzle damp and eyes wide. “Whoa… that was intense…” She wiped her mouth clean, then looked down at Twilight’s still-quivering form. “I still can’t believe we’re doing this. It’s awesome and weird at the same time.” “Oh, we’re just getting started, Rainbow,” Twilight said, removing her foreleg and flashing Rainbow as a sultry look—far more sultry than Rainbow would ever have expected from her friend before tonight. “And it’s your turn, too. Have you ever been with a unicorn?” Rainbow merely shook her head. Twilight smiled. “Well, let’s just say spells can be a lot of fun in the bedroom. And now that I’m an alicorn, my capacity’s even greater than it used to be.” Rainbow found herself moistening between the legs and swallowing nervously at the same time. “Wh-what do you have in mind?” Twilight considered it rather theatrically, tapping her hoof to her chin. “Hmmmm. Let’s see.” She suddenly smiled. “Have you ever done it in mid-air?” “Heh, I think most pegasi have, Twi.” But Twilight never stopped smiling. “I didn’t mean flying, Rainbow.” Before Rainbow’s eyebrow had finishing rising, Twilight sent a pulse of magic to her horn. A violet glow encased both of them, followed by a tiny flash. Rainbow looked around. “Wait… did you do anything? I…” She trailed off as she realized that she was lifting slowly off the bed—not flying, but floating, as if gravity itself had ceased to exist. She looked up to see Twilight hovering in front of her. With a foalish giggle, Rainbow kicked a hindleg and did a backward somersault in the air, spinning a few times before stabilizing herself with a few careful swim-like strokes to bleed off her momentum. “Oh my gosh, this isso cool!” “I did some study on gravity magic a while back,” Twilight said, feeling a little warmness in her cheeks. “Never thought I’d use it like this, though.” With a smirk, Rainbow very carefully flapped her wings, pushing herself towards and into Twilight in some form of aerial glomp. And once again, they were kissing, the movement of their lips together nearly causing them to forget they were floating. When the kiss ended and they opened their eyes, they were upside-down. Giving Rainbow a playful grin, Twilight put her hooves under Rainbow’s forelegs and pushed her upwards, then grabbed onto her hindlegs to stop her from bumping into the ceiling. This, as it happened, put Twilight’s face somewhere in the vicinity of Rainbow’s pelvis. She flashed Rainbow another one of her sultry grins, Rainbow’s wide eyes looking down at her, then leaned her head forward and gave Rainbow’s vagina a lick. She heard Rainbow gasp, followed by the sensation of blue thighs squeezing around her head. This didn’t stop her, however. She continued to lick, flattening her tongue as much as she could and dragging it across Rainbow’s pussy in deep, steady strokes. Rainbow was practically whimpering already, almost as if… No, Twilight thought. Not so soon. Then Rainbow came. Twilight barely had time to register surprise before she got a face full of squirting fluids. She didn’t let it slow her down, continuing to lick as Rainbow rode through her orgasm with a surprisingly feminine shriek. Finally, Rainbow’s spasms subsided, and the two of them floated apart. “That… was amazing…” Rainbow managed to say. “Sure didn’t take much, did it?” Twilight asked rhetorically, unsure where she was impressed or disappointed. “Do you always orgasm that easily?” “Usually. Why? Is that not normal?” Twilight eyed her closely. “And how often can you cum in one session?” “I dunno,” she replied with a shrug. “I’ve never bothered keeping count. It’s usually just me and my hoof, anyway.” “So, let me get this straight: You can cum at the drop of a hat, and over and over and over again?” “Um… yeah?” Twilight stared at her, no small amount of envy gurgling up inside of her. Then again, such a gift did have its upsides. “So, you’re ready for more, then?” “Oh, totally!” “Good.” Grabbing ahold of Rainbow, she dove back in, licking Rainbow’s folds with even greater enthusiasm, silently challenging herself to make Rainbow cum again as quickly as she could. For science and all. And sure enough, Rainbow started to quiver again, a fresh orgasm already brewing. “Hold up,” Rainbow interrupted, pulling away. “What?” Twilight asked, licking her lips. “Is everything okay?” “Oh, yeah. I just thought we could make this fun for both of us.” Maneuvering carefully, she turned herself upside-down, returning her crotch to Twilight’s face even as she positioned her own face back at Twilight’s marehood. She instantly tucked in, greeting Twilight’s pussy like an old friend. Twilight, getting the hint, smirked and returned to her own meal, the two of them sixty-nining in the air in a slow spin, like a meteor drifting through space. In no time at all, Rainbow came again, and Twilight found herself following quickly on her heels, their bodies rocked by near-simultaneous orgasms as they hovered in the air above Twilight’s bed. As their orgasms passed, Twilight realized Rainbow was still munching away on her slightly sore vagina, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Twilight—unlike Rainbow and like most normal ponies—needed a short break before she’d be ready to go again. Luckily, she knew just the thing to distract Rainbow: A spell she’d developed a while back, which allowed her to tap into a pony’s nervous system and replicate sensations, including that of an orgasm. She’d used it on herself on quite a few lonely nights, and suspected Rainbow would enjoy it immensely. With a simple glow of her horn, she targeted Rainbow’s clitoris, smiled at the vistas of pleasure she was about to reveal to the pegasus, and unleashed her spell. Like a tsunami, one massive, prolonged, concentrated orgasm crashed over Rainbow. And indeed, she stopped her licking. She stopped doing much of anything, really, except wildly spasm in the air like she was being electrocuted. Twilight pulled away from Rainbow and floated off the side to get a better look, never stopping her spell. Rainbow’s mouth was open as if to scream, but no sound came out. Her rosy eyes rolled back in her head as she no-doubt struggled to maintain consciousness. Twilight knew just what Rainbow was feeling—pure, unbridled orgasmic bliss, sustained far longer than any normal orgasm could last. Twilight had once maintained it for twenty mind-boggling minutes, but at this rate, and judging by Rainbow’s apparent sensitivity, she guessed it might not be wise to keep it up for that long. She did let it go for another minute or two, however, before she finally released Rainbow from the spell’s sensual assault. She also released the anti-gravity spell, using her telekinesis to gently lower the two of them onto her bed. She looked at Rainbow and, for a moment, was slightly worried. Rainbow just lay there—unmoving, unspeaking—like the victim of a bear attack. Twilight reached forward and touched her shoulder. “Rainbow? Are you alright?” “Uh-huh…” responded a tiny voice, muffled by the mattress. “I didn’t… over-do it, did I?” “Uh-uh…” Twilight fidgeted a little. “Are you ready to call it a night?” “That depends.” She turned her head, eyes glazed. “Do you know any more spells?” Twilight felt herself smirk. “I’m sure I could think of one or two.” “Then I’m game.” Rainbow slowly, almost stiffly, lifted herself into a sitting position. “Though, maybe you could warn a girl before you send her on a trip across the universe, ‘kay?” “Alright,” Twilight replied with a chuckle. “So… what do you have in mind?” Twilight thought it over briefly, then smiled a naughty, even devilish smile. With a flash of her horn, a kitchen timer was teleported into their midst, and she began to set it. “What’s that for?” Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow. “Oh, just to remind myself to do something in an hour.” “And what’s that?” “Did I ever tell you about the time Spike, Pinkie, and I snuck into the Canterlot archives and I traveled back in time?” “Uh… yeah?” As if on cue, there was a pop beside them, followed by an added weight on the mattress. Rainbow slowly turned her head, finding a second Twilight sitting on the bed beside the first one. “I’m not late, am I?” asked the new Twilight. “Nope, you’re just on time,” replied the old. They gave each other conspiratorial smirks, then turned as one to the gawking pegasus. “I, b…b-hey… fwuh?” Rainbow gibbered, then shook her head. “B-b-b-b-but I thought… I thought it had a short time limit or something, right?” Both Twilights replied simultaneously: “We tweaked the spell a little.” Their eyes widened briefly, looking at each other. The new Twilight smiled and said, “Oh yeah, I forgot you tried to answer that, too.” “S-so… what now?” Rainbow asked, her tone almost fearful. Once again, the two Twilights looked at each other. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” asked the old Twilight. “I know what to do. I was in your horseshoes last time, remember?” said the new. “Alright, I’ll just follow your lead,” said the old. “Since you already know what we do.” Rainbow’s face twisted in confusion. With a pop, the new Twilight disappeared. Rainbow blinked, only to give a small start when a purple pair of forelegs wrapped around her from behind and Twilight’s head came into view above her shoulder. “Just relax, Dash,” she whispered, her breath tickling Rainbow’s ear. “I come from an hour in the future, and I promise you: You’re going to enjoy this.” She pulled Rainbow backwards so that her back was resting against her purple belly and chest, then started nibbling on Rainbow's ear. Rainbow instantly relaxed, humming in pleasure as she leaned freely against Twilight’s body. Meanwhile, the other Twilight—the old Twilight, Rainbow supposed—lowered herself between Rainbow’s legs, examining her privates closely. Just when Rainbow thought Twilight would eat her out again, her horn started glowing instead. Before Rainbow’s eyes, a ball of purple magic appeared in the air, shaping itself into something like a phallus. Twilight brought the magical dildo to Rainbow’s opening, took a moment to smirk up at the pegasus, and slid it in. Rainbow gasped, the sensation of being filled now coupled with the warm, tingly sensation of magic stimulating her flesh. In and out Twilight pumped the magical shaft, and Rainbow felt about ready to melt from the feeling. Meanwhile, the other Twilight lowered her head and began to nibble on and preen Rainbow’s sensitive wings. The combined pleasure radiating from her vagina and wings went straight to Rainbow’s brain, clouding her vision, dulling her hearing to the sound of her own vocalizations. Then, everything seemed to go white as another orgasm tore through her body and came pouring out her mouth in the form of a raspy scream. She writhed for a bit, then slumped against Twilight as the other one withdrew the magic phallus. She looked up at her counterpart and asked, “You want a turn?” “I thought you’d never ask,” the Twilight behind Rainbow asked. The Twilights switched places, one moving between Rainbow’s legs while the other look the first one’s place mouthing her blue wings. The Twilight between her legs—Rainbow, still recovering from her orgasm, was having trouble keeping track of which Twilight was which now—created her own magical phallus, but this time she attached it to her pelvis like a strap-on. “Ooh, that’s a neat trick,” the Twilight behind her said. “Where do you think I learned it?” “But… if I learn it from future-me, where did we first get the idea to begin with?” The Twilight between Rainbow’s legs merely smiled. “Isn’t time travel fun?” She grabbed ahold of Rainbow’s thighs, positioned her glowing phallus at her pussy, and drove the entire length of it into her in one motion, her hips flush against Rainbow’s rump. Rainbow’s backed arched from the sensation, her body quivering both from her most recent orgasm and the first signs of another to come. As one Twilight hammered into Rainbow roughly, the other cradled her shoulders, sucking on her powerful wings. Watching Rainbow being pounded, however, as well as knowing, by the expression on her future-self’s face, the pleasure was mutual, left past-Twilight feeling somewhat left out. She gently lowered Rainbow’s body to the mattress, leaning down to whisper in Rainbow’s ear: “Hey, mind returning the favor?” Seemingly incapable of civilized speech, Rainbow merely nodded. With a grin, Twilight straddled Rainbow’s head on her knees, and instantly felt the mare’s tongue sliding past her lips. She shivered, leaning forward in her pleasure until she came to rest against her future self’s body. The two Twilight leaned on each other, hugging—future Twilight for leverage in her thrusting, past Twilight in her inability to keep herself upright under the assault of Rainbow’s tongue. The Twilights pulled apart slowly, looking at each other, identical eyes meeting. Past Twilight felt herself blush slightly without even knowing why—perhaps something like curiosity. “Go ahead,” future Twilight whispered with a wink. “I know what you want to do. Just make sure Rainbow sees, because believe me, she likes it.” Swallowing down a slight taste of awkwardness, Twilight leaned forward and kissed herself, making sure to extend her legs just enough to pull her crotch away from Rainbow’s mouth to give her a view. Below them, Rainbow, finding a sudden lack of pussy, craned her head to see what the matter was, then felt her jaw drop at the sight of the two Twilights making out. She could see their tongues writhing together, their hands groping each other. She could hear the wet sounds of their lips and their moans echoing into each other’s mouth. A drop of saliva fell onto her stomach. All of it was enough to send Rainbow over the edge yet again. Hearing the pegasus thrash and cry out beneath them, the Twilights pulled apart, smiling at each other. “Wow…” past Twilight panted. “I’m a pretty good kisser.” “I know, right? Anyway…” future Twilight looked down at Rainbow. “This is the part where we wrapped everything up. It’s up to you to finish it," she said to her past self. "Just do the first thing that comes to find. I promise you, it’ll be the right one.” “But how do you know?” “Because I was told the same thing by my future-me.” “Oh, c’mon!” Rainbow squawked from between past-Twilight’s legs. “Enough with the timey-wimey crap. This night’s already confusing enough!” The two Twilight’s giggled. “Alright, Rainbow,” past-Twilight said. “Like I said, just do the first thing that comes to mind.” “Alright…” She gave it some thought, then smirked. “Atta girl," the other Twilight knowingly said. With a glow of her horn, Twilight cast her orgasm spell again, this time sending it through all three of them simultaneously. The bedroom became a tempest of screaming, all of them seizing and thrashing by turn as the pleasure surged through their bodies and exploded out their nerve endings like solar flares. Expletives were shouted, juices were squirted, and, when Twilight could no longer maintain the spell, all three of them collapses on the mattress in a heap and blacked out. When Twilight finally woke up, she found Rainbow staring at the ceiling. Her future self was nowhere to be seen—back to her own time, she presumed. “Hey there,” she murmured, cuddling up to Rainbow’s side. “Wasn’t that amazing?” “Mmhmm,” Rainbow hummed, not looking away from the ceiling, though she did wrap a foreleg around Twilight’s shoulders and gave her a tiny squeeze. Twilight propped herself up on one elbow. “Didn't you enjoy it?” “What? Yes! It was awesome! I’ve never felt anything like that before.” “Then why do you seem... distant?” Rainbow gave Twilight a kiss on the forehead, “I’m not ‘distant’, Twi. I really, really enjoyed tonight. I’m just… confused.” “By what?” “By all this! Everything that happened tonight!” She returned her gaze to the ceiling. “It’s all been so sudden, and I don’t even know where it came from. A few days ago, I was minding my own business, and everything was normal. If you had told me then that you and I would be doing that in just a few days, I would’ve thought you were crazy. But here we are! It’s just a lot to wrap my head around, y’know? How does something like this… just happen?” Twilight averted her eyes, biting her lip. “Yeah… it’s quite a conundrum.” Three days ago… Twilight look a step back and admired her work. It hadn’t been easy, but with her magic and her planning skills, it was finally ready. She moved some paint into the bushes with her magic, then flapped her wings, propelling herself up into the air and checking the rest of her project. Everything seemed to be in order. Finally, all of her planning would pay off. Now, she just had to find Rainbow. Twilight and Rainbow glided through the sky at a leisurely rate, flapping their wings only occasionally to give themselves some additional lift. “So, what did you want to talk about, Twi?” “Oh, you know. I just wanted to shoot the breeze. Maybe talk about romance.” “Aw jeez!” Rainbow stuck her tongue out. “Don’t you turn into Rarity on me, Twilight.” Twilight giggled. “No, it’s nothing gossipy like that. It’s just… I’ve sorta had my eye on someone lately, but I’m not sure how I feel about them. I was hoping you could tell me about that stallion you were into a while back. You told me later that it was just a crush, so I was hoping you could tell me what that felt like, so maybe I can see if what I’m feeling is a crush, too.” “Makes sense, I guess.” Rainbow took a deep breath, and began to tell her tale. As she talked, Twilight steered them—slightly, inconspicuously—to the side. Lost as she was in her account, Rainbow’s conscious mind took no notice of what passed below them. On the ground below, several large canvases had been arranged, each bearing increasingly explicit depictions of ponies engaged in coitus. Twilight watched Rainbow’s face carefully, hoping against hope that Rainbow’s remarkable ability to memorize everything while flying would allow the images to sink into Rainbow’s mind without her even being aware of it. As they flew, what had begun as images of random, indistinct ponies turned into lewd scenes of a blue pegasus making love to a purple alicorn. But still, Rainbow continued to talk, eyes drinking up the images without processing them. The final image was one of the two familiar ponies kissing, a little heart above their heads. Finally, they arrived on the steps of Rainbow’s cloud home. “Wow, that was really helpful, Rainbow. Thank you.” Rainbow looked at Twilight, then froze, as if seeing Twilight in a new light. Her eyes drifted down to Twilight’s lips, and she licked her own. Shaking her head, she averted her eyes from Twilight’s face, blushing slightly. “Is everything alright, Rainbow?” Twilight asked innocently. Rainbow cleared her throat, then said, “Y-yeah, I’m… I’m fine. Just…” She cut her eyes in Twilight’s direction, and this time her eyes moved toward Twilight’s flank She darted them away in an instant, her blush deepening. “Just… feeling kinda funny. I’d better head on in. Bye, Twilight!” In a hurry, she bolted into her home and closed the door. Twilight’s lips slowly, slowly turned upwards into a smile. “And now, we wait.” Present day… As the memory faded, she turned and gave Rainbow another kiss on the forehead. “Don’t worry about it, Rainbow. I guess some things are just… meant to be.” “I guess you're right…” “You are… happy that things turned out like this, aren’t you?” Rainbow looked into her eyes. “Well… it might take some getting used to. But… I think I am, yeah. I’m willing to give it a shot, at least.” Twilight gave her a smile. The kitchen timer went off on the bedside table. “Oh! That’s my cue.” Twilight extricated herself from Rainbow’s body. “I’ve got an appointment with the two of us an hour ago. I’ll see you when I get back.” After one final kiss, Twilight’s horn flashed, and she slipped through the flow of time. Rainbow was left lying on the bed, alone. Unbidden, images of Twilight flashed through her mind. She whimpered, trying to suppress the images, but it was useless. Her hoof slowly made its way between her legs as if it had a mind of its own. She remembered the events of the night as she rubbed herself, pleasure mingling with confusion in her mind. Try as she might, she couldn't get Twilight out of her head. > Alternate Ending: The Suggestion of Power > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The kitchen timer went off on the bedside table. “Oh! That’s my cue.” Twilight extricated herself from Rainbow’s body. “I’ve got an appointment with the two of us an hour ago. I’ll see you when I get back.” After one final kiss, Twilight’s horn flashed, and she slipped through the flow of time. Rainbow was left lying on the bed, alone. Now, it was Rainbow’s turn to smile. "Silly egghead," she said into the empty bedroom. "All that work, all those sneaky tactics, just to get me in bed? How dumb does she think I am?" She chuckled. "I'll just let her think she's some kind of mastermind, and that she tricked me into it. For now, anyway." She stretched her legs and wings out. "Doesn't she know she could've just asked?" Her mind replayed the events of the night, and she almost had another orgasm just from the memory of it. "Meh," she said. "I think it was more fun this way."
