	"No!" Double Diamond screamed as he saw Starlight Glimmer run into the cave. "We can't let her get away!"

"Diamond, wait!" Night Glider shouted after him as he pushed off on his skis, rocketing into the cave after the escaping mare.

Night Glider only rolled her eyes and let out a frustrated groan as she turned back to Sugar Belle and Party Favour. "You two, wait here with the others!" She took off after Double Diamond, leaving Party Favour and Sugar Belle with Twilight and her friends.

Meanwhile, Double Diamond was gaining ground on Starlight, fast. His skis weren't faring so well against the cave floor. Multiple stones, pebbles, and other debris scratched the underside, but he knew it was for a good cause. He could easily replace his skis. Thankfully, there was still a sufficient amount of snow and ice in the cave, and since his skis still had a small coat of wax on them, he found that he was slowly catching up on Starlight.

Double Diamond narrowed his eyes as her form kept getting closer and closer. He had to duck and weave through stalactites and stalagmites, his eyes glued to her all the while. The shortest distance between two points was a straight line, and every time he swerved around an obstacle, he cut the distance between his target and himself.

Eventually the cave began narrowing as the obstacles began dissipating, and Double Diamond crouched on his skis to centralize his body mass and create a smaller profile. He was taught as a young colt that would make him go faster, and it proved to be right in this case. He came within a body's length of Starlight as she turned her head and shot a beam of her magic at him, but Double Diamond anticipated her doing this and swerved just in time. It hit the a stalagmite behind him, blowing it to smithereens. ’Damn, that was close! I gotta make sure she doesn’t get the chance to do that again...’

Double Diamond was thrilled to see that everypony got along without any fighting or quarrelling, and that he could speak to everypony on an equal level, unlike before. However, part of him knew it was too good to be true, but he didn’t realise it until too late, which fueled his anger to a boiling point.

With a fiercely determined scowl plastered across his face, he waited just slightly longer before leaping up off his skis and pouncing on Starlight, sending the duo tumbling across the cave floor, hearing a satisfying “oof!” come from his prey.

He rolled with Starlight, several small cuts opening over his white coat from the rocks and stones of the cave floor. He came out on top, sitting over her waist, using his hooves to pin Starlight to the ground. She looked up in fright and shock, seeing the tall, white, strong stallion towering over her. An irate gaze seared straight through her. 

Starlight tried to charge her spell in an attempt to steal Double Diamond's cutie mark, but he immediately caught on to what she was planning, and quickly reacted by striking her across the muzzle with his right hoof. Starlight gasped in pain as the magic faded from her horn, breaking what little concentration she had. Double Diamond forcibly rolled her head to the side and held her muzzle to the floor as he placed another one on her throat, cutting off her airway and holding her horn away from himself, all to prevent her from trying to cast again.

All that she could muster was pained grunts and half words as she felt her brain begin to get starved of oxygen.

"Diamond!" called a voice from behind him. He snapped his head back to see Night Glider looking around a little ways behind him. "Double Diamond, where'd you go?" he heard her call again.

"Over here!" he answered, removing his hoof from Starlight’s muzzle while keeping the other on her throat.

Night Glider caught up with him, flapping her wings as she hovered just above the stallion.

"What are you doing!?" she asked incredulously. "You're choking her! Stop! I want to see her dealt with, but this isn’t the way to do it!"

"If I let her go, she'll get away!" he retorted with a growl. "Or worse: steal our cutie marks. Again!"

"Just stop, please!" Night Glider pleaded. "She'll die if you keep that up!"

Double Diamond grumbled. "...Fine." He removed his hoof from her throat just as Starlight once again tried to charge a spell, but she never got the chance to complete it. He hit her again, the flat part of his hoof fully connecting just below her ear. Expecting her to keep struggling, he raised his hoof again for another strike, but paused when he realized she wasn’t fighting back.

"What did you do!?" Night Glider exclaimed. “Did you kill her?”

Double Diamond lowered his head and placed his ear next to Starlight’s mouth. He was relieved when he heard her breathing softly. "She’s fine. We don't have any rope, magic inhibitors, or anything to restrain her. How else are we going to get Starlight out of here without her trying to get one over on us?"

The pegasus deflated, lowering herself to the ground as she trotted up to Starlight. "I suppose you're right..." she half-heartedly said. "Let’s put her onto your back and get out of here."

With the aid of Night Glider, Double Diamond draped Starlight across his back. Night Glider tucked his skis under her wings as they made their way out. Several minutes later, they emerged from the mouth of the cave to find the rest of the ponies waiting for them. Gasps of horror and shock rang out as the crowd looked over the bruised and beaten Starlight Glimmer. 

Twilight spoke up. "What happened to her?"

Night Glider went to open her mouth but she was cut off by Double Diamond. "She tripped and hit her head,” he lied. Night Glider shot him a look of disbelief. How could he have lied so easily when he hit her? “She's out cold for now, so we should get her back to our village before she can wake up," Diamond finished.

"Why? She needs to go to Canterlot to face trial!" Twilight protested, stomping her hoof for emphasis.

"Well, she can't go anywhere like this, can she?" Double Diamond answered. "Don't you need guards and proper transport for her anyway?"

Twilight looked down in defeat. "I... suppose you're right... What shall we do with her in the meantime?"

"We'll take her back to the village," Night Glider said. "We'll put her in the re-education room. There's... also some shackles in there too," she admitted sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck with a hoof.

"O-oh dear..." Fluttershy timidly added.

"Dear heavens," Rarity said aghast. "Why in Equestria would you need shackles!?"

"Sometimes the ponies aren't always as complacent as they could be. They'd make a racket, bang their heads against the wall, so we needed to keep them from hurting themselves. It also functioned as a jail of sorts. Fortunately only one or two have ever needed to be put in there. In hindsight," Night Glider added, “I don’t know why any of this was a good thing.”

Rarity cleared her throat. "Right then. I suppose we'd better get a move on."

It didn't take them too long to make their way back to the village. It took them about ten to fifteen minutes of running, but an hour of walking later put them within spitting distance of the row of terraced cottages. Double Diamond had to readjust the mare draped over his back a few times to prevent her from falling off.

"Let me take it from here," Twilight offered, levitating Starlight off of the stallion and into the air above her as they walked into the town, the dozens of residents crowding around them.

"There she is!" shouted one.

"What should we do with her?" asked another.

"Please, quiet down and listen!" Twilight commanded. The hustle and bustle died down as all eyes turned to her. "I will return in a few days with Princess Celestia—" several murmurs broke out in the crowd "—with the Solar Guards to take Starlight Glimmer back to Canterlot to face trial."

"She should face trial by our hooves for what she did!" somepony shouted.

"Yeah!" everypony chorused.

"As Princess, I cannot allow that to happen. It constitutes a confirmation bias and conflict of interest, and that wouldn't help at all. It needs to be a fair trial and not one influenced by your negativity towards her."

The majority of the crowd looked down at the ground dejectedly.

"Double Diamond and Night Glider, see to it that Starlight Glimmer is kept properly detained. I leave you two in charge until my return. Party Favour and Sugar Belle, make sure everything else goes smoothly in town, and try not to let anything happen to Starlight while I'm gone, okay?"

"Sure thing, Princess!" Party Favour exclaimed.

"Do you want us to guard her?" Sugar Belle asked.

"Strictly speaking, no, just make sure nothing happens to her." Sugar Belle just nodded in understanding. "Wait here, girls," she said to her friends, going over to the re-education room with Night Glider and Double Diamond.

The white stallion opened the door and allowed Twilight to enter first. He followed suit and Night Glider was the last to entre.

"Where do you keep the shackles?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, uhm… Let me just..." Night Glider flew up to the rafters, six piles of coiled chain draped over the beams attached with eyelets securing them to the central beam. Each length of clattering metal had one foreleg-sized cuff attached to it. Three eyelets on one side, three on the other; each opposite the other. She unfurled two of them and brought down three more items: a key, a small, simple-looking bracelet and a ring. "Prop her up against the wall, would you?"

Twilight gently placed Starlight against the wall opposite the bookcase. Double Diamond clamped the cuffs around Starlight's forelegs as she began to stir. Night Glider saw this and quickly placed the ring over Starlight's horn.

Twilight knew what it was, and she frowned. She never ever condoned the restriction of unicorn magic. It made her gut turn: not being able to use magic to perform the most basic of functions, or do any of the tasks she had grown so accustomed to doing with magic. It made her afraid of being unable to help herself when it was her magic that she needed to perform everything. She wondered why they hadn’t used the ring on her while she was locked up in this room.

"Wa-huh?" Starlight mumbled as she stirred awake. She tried casting a spell, but the feedback loop designed into the ring caused the spell to loop back into her horn, shocking her. The small bracelet was made unique to this ring. The purpose of which was to prevent the unicorn it was placed onto from removing the ring. The bracelet, once worn by Double Diamond, allowed him to safely remove the ring, otherwise any attempts without it would result in a shock.

Double Diamond managed to lock each cuff around her forelegs, then he took a cautious step back from Starlight. "Take the slack out," he told Night Glider. She went back up to the rafters and wound the chain around a pike buried in the rafter in the middle. There was enough slack that Starlight could move around the room, but not enough where she could get to the door or window to try and escape.

"Starlight Glimmer," Twilight proclaimed. "You will be held accountable for the use of dark magic here. Stealing magic is forbidden, but stealing cutie marks—somepony's identity—is another matter on a completely different level. You will remain here until I can return to properly escort you back to Canterlot.”

Starlight's ears folded back and she looked away in a reverie. She nodded dejectedly.

"Have you anything to say for yourself?"

"I just..." She trailed off. Her reason was the same before as it was now, and no matter how many times she told it to Twilight and everypony, nopony would see things from her perspective. But she hadn’t told them the whole story. Cutie marks not only mark a special talent, they're also the source of magic for that talent. Take it away, and you take away their magic. Every unicorn she used her spell on was left with basic telekinetic manipulation, and every pegasi was left with basic flight. "...wanted everypony to be equal and happy."

"Right… In the meantime, I'm leaving Night Glider and Double Diamond in charge of you until I get back." She curtly turned to leave the room to get back to her friends.

Night Glider gave a sharp tug at the chains to make sure they were secured and wouldn't budge, and the dark-blue mare left after Twilight in a more upbeat attitude now that Starlight was in chains.

Double Diamond checked the shackles to make sure they were indeed locked and wouldn't open. He leaned closer to Starlight and whispered into her ear. "I'll be back later to deal with you. Some of the other ponies and I in this village have got a score to settle."

Starlight Glimmer's eyes widened with horror at that statement. It could mean anything. What was he planning? What would he do to her?

He slipped on the little bracelet and took the key to the cuffs with him. Double Diamond closed the door behind him and locked it, leaving Starlight staring in fear after him.
	
> Chapter 1: Double Diamond
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	For the rest of the day leading into the evening, Double Diamond, alongside Party Favour, Night Glider, and Sugar Belle, played host to Twilight and her friends with the rest of the town joining in on the festivities with much overdue enthusiasm. Now that they all had their cutie marks back, the ponies who had farming and agriculture talents could finally put them to use after so long. In the meantime, Sugar Belle, with the rest of the ponies whose talents were food and cooking orientated, finally had enough creativity at their hooves to make a delicious and substantial meal that wasn't bland oat muffins, or other assorted 'Plain' flavoured foodstuffs.

By the time nine o'clock at night had rolled around, nearly a third of the town's food supply had been used in the giant party and feast that had been put out for everypony to enjoy for the first time in years. But no matter, farming would begin at first light the following morning, and there was still enough to get by until first harvest.

The miniscular harvest of food from the existing fields was just barely enough to get them by as-is, but they survived nonetheless. Because Starlight had stolen the earth ponies’ latent abilities to till the soil appropriately, it meant crop production was at an all-time low, but now it was about to flourish like a flower blooming for the first time of the season.

When everypony had the Mark of Equality, it was up to Starlight to delegate who did what, being their leader and all. She delegated the jobs, oversaw the construction of the houses and food growth, and as well as including–but not limited to–asking for their cutie marks back, leaving the village for a vacation, and, when estrus rolled around (or at any other time), sex.

Tensions in town ran rather high when estrus rolled around. Everypony had their mood swings, most notably the mares. It drove the stallions mad: all those mares in heat, but refusal from Starlight to rut each other into submission pissed them off them most. There were some mares and stallions that refused to leave their house for days on end, and that led some of the stallions to fantasize about what the mares would do to alleviate their burning nethers. Fortunately after it passed, everything settled down.

With happy smiles and sated grins, accompanied by full bellies and escorted by their four new friends, Twilight Sparkle and her friends went back to the dead-end track where the Friendship Express had dropped them off at, to be picked back up and taken to Ponyville.

It was getting very late in the evening. According to Luna's moon, by the time the four ponies had gotten back to their village after seeing Twilight and company off, it was only an hour or so before midnight.

Cleanup from the feast was nearly complete. All the baskets and dishes from the food were all cleaned and put away, the decorations taken down, yet only the tables upon which the food once lay remained. Double Diamond asked Vanilla Pod why they were still out, and she replied that they would be needed to organise the seeds and plants for planting in different fields.

Double Diamond made his way back to his cottage. The layout of every cottage was the same, save for Starlight's. The front door had two windows on either side, a single window centralised on the second level on every side, and there was one more window in the attic. Inside was a hallway with three doors. One room spanned the entire left half of the house through one door which had the living room. Through the second door on the right at the end was the kitchen, but through the first door was the bedroom, and this is where Double Diamond went to bed.

The bed was nothing special. It was just a simple double-bed with a foam mattress covered by a fitted sheet and a pillow that could only be described as an oversized, flat, pancake. Atop the bed lay a sheet with a duvet folded towards the bottom for him to pull up when nights got cold.

Double Diamond pulled the duvet over him, discarding the thin sheet for now. He snuggled down and attempted to sleep. Twenty minutes went by, yet he didn't feel the least bit tired. Was it because now that he had his cutie mark back, his strength and endurance as an earth pony returned too? It would make sense, after all. He had spent years doing the same thing as everypony else, but had only spent the last several hours with his mark, re-invigorated with his magic.

He hadn't tired himself out enough to warrant falling asleep, and he didn't doubt that many of the other ponies would be having the same problem. He kept trying for another forty-five minutes to sleep, and in different positions, but to no avail. Laying on his back and staring at the ceiling, he thought of one way to aid his sleep, so he frustratedly threw the duvet off of him and glanced down to the darker grey package that sat between his legs.

He idly rubbed at himself, trying to coax his stallionhood from its sheathed hiding place. His thoughts trailed off to the group of six ponies that came to save them, in particular the white one with the purple mane, Rarity. There was something about her that entranced the white stallion. Was it her looks? Her mane? Her soft, supple, marshmallow-esque flanks? He saw how her mane and plot bounced ever-so-slightly as she walked through town, and he couldn't help but think about how much he could make her bounce in his bed.

The thought of Rarity laying on his bed, tail raised high and exposing herself as she looked back at him salaciously with half-lidded, welcoming eyes began to make his member emerge. He carried on with the train of thought, wondering what she would be like in bed. Would she like her plot spanked until red, all the while begging for more? Or was she the type that would take on the assertive role, erotically commanding Double Diamond to bow to her sexual will.

He had a strange fondness for getting blowjobs. Just seeing the mare's face contort as he slid his length down her throat, accompanied by incoherent words and ragged breathing, getting lost in the warm sensation of her mouth was something he couldn't pass up when the chance would present itself.

Fully erect from the welcome mental imagery, Double Diamond got to work with his hooves, gently pumping his hardened shaft up and down. He added a small amount of saliva so it wouldn't be as rough. It wasn't lube by a long shot, but it did what he wanted it to. He pumped up and down, working his shaft from the sensitive head, all the way down to the medial ring on his now-pulsating thickness. With all the extra endurance he regained with his cutie mark, he could feel himself quickly approach climax, but one thought stopped him dead in his tracks.

Starlight Glimmer, the mare who stole his life from him, was tied up and without magic.

She was alone.

Tied up.

Helpless.

One hoof still holding his penis, Double Diamond looked out his bedroom window. He pulled the curtain aside and looked out and down the end of the street to the building with the re-education room.

'I couldn't do that,' he told himself.

But she stole your life from you, his subconscious retorted back. Starlight deserves her just deserts...

Torn on whether or not to get revenge on Starlight or let the courts deal with her, he laid back on his bed to stroke himself, thinking of how it would feel.

'It's been so long since I've been with a mare...' Conflicted between feelings of pleasure and morality, the thought of finally being able to rut a mare like no tomorrow became too strong of a desire for him to ignore. He could take it no longer. His sexual frustrations kept nagging at him.

Double Diamond threw the duvet off himself and to the floor, snatching up the thin sheet he tossed to the floor earlier.

With his mind made up, he began tearing the sheet lengthways into two-inch wide, meter-long strips of cloth for which to use on Starlight. It mattered not that he was tearing the sheet. The ponies with sewing and clothing talents would be making custom clothing and bedding soon enough.

With at most a dozen strips of cloth tied together with one more to hold everything, he held it in his muzzle as he picked up the key to the re-education room he placed on his dresser earlier, leaving the little bracelet alone.

He checked the clock above his bed, and it read a quarter past midnight. Everypony should be asleep, or indoors at least by now. He went to his front door, opened it, and peeked outside, looking both ways up and down the street. A few lights were still on, shining through the gaps in the curtains that hung over the windows.

As silently as he possibly could, Double Diamond closed the front door to his cottage with the faintest of clicks. He didn't want anyone hearing his door open and close, especially not this late at night. Ponies usually had no reason to be out this late, but Double Diamond certainly did.

With the key and cloth bundle, he carefully crossed the street to the other side and ducked below the frame of the windows between the houses on either side of him to prevent from being spotted. He made his way to the back of the row of houses. He figured that he wouldn't get spotted walking behind them, but just to play it safe he ducked underneath the windows as they came. There was less of a chance of being spotted out the back and if somepony looked out the front of their window, because of his white coat, they would spot him walking down the street easily enough. It's easy to spot an all-white stallion, especially at night when lantern light reflects off the brightest of surfaces.

It took a couple minutes of cautious stalking behind the houses for him to come to the house with the re-education room. He cautiously glanced around the corner at the house opposite the re-education room. Its lights were off, but the ones on the house on the left weren't. His gaze turned to Starlight's cottage. Being the leader of the town, she built her house at the end of the street so she could oversee everything that went on.

Starlight had her cutie mark after all, and it gnawed at Double Diamond's mind how she would have kept herself satisfied, especially when estrus rolled around. For all he knew, Starlight was a single mare. He never saw another stallion exit her house with wobbly legs or anything to indicate that something went on, so she must have had methods of relief. Right? Usually when ponies in estrus asked if they could be intimate, her reply was usually something to the effect of "You can ride it out like everypony else is." In her mind, that somehow made them all the more equal.

He thought about single stallions and mares asking Starlight to help them through the time, but the likelihood of that happening seemed a bit out of the question.

The white stallion silently made his way to the front door and turned the knob. Thankfully for him, it opened. He let out a breath of relief. He wasn't sure if it had been locked at all. Double Diamond went inside and placed the two items he was carrying at the front door. This cottage had a different layout. Instead of the wall separating the living room from the hallway, it was all one open space with various amenities dotted around, and a stonework fireplace in the far left corner at the back. To his right there was no room, nor a door, but it was built as if there was one. Something was behind that wall. It was just an inconspicuous corner that nopony paid a second glance. At the end on the right, a staircase lead upstairs.

With his objective in mind, he ascended up the stairs and into Starlight's bedroom.

The bed was still tossed aside, revealing the hidden tunnel underneath. That's what must've been behind the wall; the secret chamber leading underground and into the cave system. He was looking for anything of Starlight's that he could use on her. He trotted over to the dresser and opened the top drawer. It was filled with the burlap cloaks that the tailor had made, but it didn't look like any of them had been worn in a while. They were alright to wear and did the job of keeping rain off the ponies if the weather turned bad, but they didn't hold up to torrential rain too well. They were warm to wear on a colder day, and that was always nice.

The second drawer down had a stencil with two parallel cut-outs, covered in an inky black powder, and alongside two jars of purple and black colours. Starlight must've been using these to paint over her cutie mark after she bathed or got wet.

The third drawer down, however, didn't budge, which piqued the stallion's interest. Double Diamond looked over the face of it with curiosity and tried pulling it again. He gathered it was locked somehow and not just jammed. He didn't want to make too much noise from trying to unjam a non-jammed drawer. The drawer looked normal and didn't have any visible keyhole, so he looked around the back and sides of the dresser for some kind of knob or switch. Cursing the drawer under his breath, he pulled the dresser away to get a proper look at the back of it. There was only a bare wooden panel, but there was one place he hadn't checked.

He slid his hoof under the dresser to feel a for a latch, and that's when a smile began to slowly etch its way onto his now-smug face. Underneath was a small latch that he flicked, and like the click of a keyhole, 'unlocked' the drawer.

He completely pulled out the drawer and stole a glance at the latch that held it in place. It was a simple hook that pointed to the back of the space where the drawer slid in, designed to hook onto something on the bottom of the drawer.

The contents of the drawer, however, proved to be both rewarding and disappointing. While he had expected to find toys of relief that Starlight would have used, all he found was a nearly empty bottle of thickened oil that would likely have been used as lubricant. Where the toys were, if there were any to begin with, was another matter altogether, and one that he wasn't particularly concerned about right now.

A scant reward for so much effort in getting to this point, he went back downstairs and tucked the bottle into his bundle of cloth. Still being careful about his actions, he cracked the door open and looked at the first few houses on his right, seeing that their lights were off. With a sense of relief washing over him, he opened the door more, and saw that the vast majority of all the lights were off, save for one half way down the street.

It was well past midnight at this stage, easily coming close to one in the morning.

Double Diamond turned the doorknob as he pulled the door closed, letting the bolt slide back into its place. He avoided making the door click shut by doing this as a precaution to any ears that may or may not have heard it click shut had he simply pulled it closed behind him.

Picking up the cloth bundle with the key and smidgen of oil in the bottle tucked into it, he made a hasty beeline towards the door of the re-education room. He used the key to unlock the door, but the noise with which it did so was always unavoidable. The mechanism was reasonably old, but if it had been well oiled then it should have been less clunky. He hoped Starlight didn't wake up.

The inner room was dark, but the moonlight shining through the window was enough to cast an ethereal white glow over the inner room. Opposite the door lay Starlight glimmer, her manacled fore legs crossed in front of her, supporting her head as she slept upon a slightly raised wooden platform that was supposed to act as a bed, and it was carelessly sprinkled with hay as a faux mattress. Degrading, yes, but this room wasn't exactly supposed to be comfortable.

Double Diamond closed the door, leaving it ajar an inch or so with the cloth bundle propped up against it to keep the door from swinging inwards. The glow from the moonlight was just barely enough to see by as he closed all the curtains to make sure no light could get in or out. That done, he spied a couple candles and a small box of matches atop the small little bookcase.

He opened the tray of matches to get one out, but was met with disappointment at its contents. 'Who the hay puts the dead ones back in the box?' Double Diamond silently mused to himself. From what he could see, there were matches with blackened heads sitting next to good ones, and given the light, it was hard to distinguish which was which. 'Throwing them away would be better...' He tried striking a few of what he thought were good ones, but to no avail. He did perk up, however, when one of the apparently rarer, good matches struck up a wonderfully bright orange flame against the side of the box.

He held the lit match to the candle on top of the bookcase as the dim orange glow began to cast and brighten across the room. Being white, the candles reflected off Double Diamond's white coat and mane and gave him a slightly tinted orange colour.

Finally happy with his light source, he closed the door and unraveled his little bundle of cloth. He took two of the strips and tied them together, then kept tying the two strips in the same spot until the end result was one giant knot two inches in diameter.

He advanced towards Starlight, pondering how he would successfully get the cloth-gag into her muzzle and tie it around the back of her head. His stomach kept turning over, his mind running a million miles a minute at what he was about to do. After much hesitation, ultimately one way stuck out to him.

He went to the opposite end from which Starlight faced on the what-barely-could-be-called-a-bed, and like how he captured her, he jumped on top of her.

Starlight jolted awake with surprise and shock at having a heavy weight fall on her. She opened her mouth to scream, but because of the weight upon her back compressing her barrel and in turn, lungs, she could only muster a squeak. That was Double Diamond's cue to stuff the gag into her muzzle, using his hooves to pull the loose strips taught as he hastily tied a knot to keep the mare from making any objections.

"Shh shh shh..." he coaxed, holding himself over Starlight to make her stop struggling, trying to make her relax.

Starlight's breathing was ragged and fast, trying and failing to make her chest fully expand to take in a proper breath as she flailed her hooves to get Double Diamond off of her. Her heartbeat picked up considerably from the sudden shock of the situation. The stallion had her pinned down, and he managed to tie a secure knot to keep the gag from being pushed out. It didn't stop her from completely opening her mouth, so with a third strip, he tied it around her muzzle to keep it firmly closed. She was helpless to voice any objections.

Confident she wouldn't flail about, Double Diamond pulled at the chains holding Starlight's hooves, at the same time dragging her into the middle of the room as she fell off the bed and tripped over her own hooves trying to stand up. Her eyes were wide open, trying to take in the dim surroundings. She had just woken up from sleeping, so it would take about ten minutes for her eyes to fully adjust to the lighting conditions.

From the look Starlight had in her eyes, it was one of surprise, mixed with some fear.

When in the middle of the room. Double Diamond flipped her over on her back, standing above her and using his front hooves to hold her down against the floor. Her front legs were splayed, hooves pointing skyward because of the chains. He stood with his rear legs holding hers open. Starlight was completely spread eagled. The stallion looked down at his helpless prey, eyeing her form up and down. It dawned on Starlight what Double Diamond was about to do, and her eyes widened even further.

"Did you really think I wouldn't come back like I promised you?" he asked menacingly, looking into Starlight's eyes, not breaking contact. "I trusted you for years, and so did all the other ponies. You robbed them of their lives and cutie marks. You didn't give us harmony, peace, or equality. You only used your magic to steal our cutie marks so we would be powerless against you."

Double Diamond was seething, his nostrils flaring with every breath as he spoke. He slowly leaned down towards Starlight, his muzzle brushing against the nape of her neck as he pressed himself against her belly, rubbing and grinding against the mare. She craned her head to try and get away, but it was no use. His hot breath wafted over her neck, and she began to tremble slightly for what was about to come.

"And now," he whispered, "I am going to have a bit of fun with you." He made his point clear by giving her jaw a teasing lick, his tongue moving up her jawline where he kissed her nose. "Scratch that... I’m going to have a lot of fun with you...” He gave her ear a small nibble, biting down with just enough pressure to make her squirm under his grasp. “So authoritative. I've always admired you for that. But how does it feel to be on the other end, hmm?"

Double Diamond gave Starlight a kiss on her forehead. His hooves moved to her sides, caressing her barrel in a firm massage as he moved lower and lower with his rapid kissing and licking. He gave nearly every inch of flesh a kiss or a lick the further down he went, and Starlight helplessly watched with abject fear of what was to come.

Eventually he came to two, slightly-raised mounds. He looked back up and locked eyes with her again, Starlight's breathing becoming heavy and ragged. His tongue snaked out of his mouth and flicked over one of her teats. She jerked against the chains as Double Diamond wrapped his hooves around her pelvis to pull her in closer, his lips forming a tight seal around the teat as his tongue began to assault it.

Starlight whimpered and struggled all she could, but given Double Diamond's earth-pony strength, he kept her held down well enough to where the chains holding her skyward-pointed hooves wouldn't rattle. She swayed because they were just short of letting her completely drop to the ground, but the stallion kept her from swinging around.

He gave the assaulted teat a firm bite between his teeth, but not so hard it would actually hurt Starlight. She gave a surprised squeak from her bound muzzle, throwing her head back from the sensation of the bite. Double Diamond released his mouth from the saliva-drenched teat and moved onto the next one. He began by trailing his tongue around it in circles while Starlight mumbled in protest as she still fruitlessly tried pulling at the chains, somehow hoping they would break or give way.

"Ah ah ah," Double Diamond chastised. "Struggling won't do you any good. Just relax. At least try to enjoy yourself." He gave the teat another lick before a thought occurred to him. "Funny, isn't it? We were forced to enjoy our lives after you stole our cutie marks, now here I am telling you to make the most out of it. Poetic justice. You fucked us, now it's my turn to fuck you."

Starlight squealed as loud as she could through the gag in response, begging him not to. The cloth proved to be more effective than the stallion would have thought. Not only did it keep Starlight from talking, it also muffled any noise she made. But that had more than one upside. Primarily it kept the struggling mare from alerting the sleeping ponies of the village to her predicament, but the added bonus was that the noises Starlight was making were just audible enough for Double Diamond to hear and nopony else, and her protests just spurred him on even more.

He winked at Starlight a moment before he gently bit down on one of her teats, suckling soflty as if he was a foal trying to draw milk. She moaned into the gag and bucked her hips at him, making him smile in a depraved manner. “You like this, don’t you?” he asked as he moved onto the other teat. He repeated the process, leaving a thin layer of his spit on both nipples which now stood tall.

Now that he was finished playing with her crotchtits, he decided to move onto his main prize, the object of his desire. His tongue started at the top of the pink lips between Starlight's legs, and he took his time in trailing down. Starlight completely tense, her hips bucking as he got half way down.

From the sensations on his tongue, Double Diamond found her pussy to be so warm, so inviting. He wasn’t all that surprised to find that she was already dripping wet. Her tangy juices flowed openly so he could taste them. How could she not want more? His tongue flicked it over her little pleasure button, slowly making its way to the bottom of her opening. He looked up to Starlight, and the look in her eyes said it all. She did not want him to go any further, her deathly glare forbade it. But she wasn't in any position to make any pleas or bargains. It was Double Diamond's turn to take charge.

He pursed his lips around the sensitive little button, sucking on it as Starlight arched her back and bucked her hips again from the sudden rush of pleasure coursing up her spine, her brain releasing a flood of endorphins. To Starlight, the action, the touch, was completely unwarranted. But the feelings, the sensations, the pleasure... Her brain wanted more of it, to supply her body with more and more pleasure.

Instead of using his teeth, Double Diamond rubbed his lips over her clit like he did with his teeth on her teat. Starlight immediately clenched her eyes shut in response, her body wracked with impulses from the stimulation. Double Diamond knew that Starlight must have been keeping herself satisfied somehow, going from the bottle of lube and the locked drawer he found it in. But where did her toys get to and why was the lube left behind? At least he got the lube, it would be more useful to him.

By this stage, Starlight's pussy was slick, beads of arousal leaked out and over her ass, all the way down to the dock of her tail, and Double Diamond took a long, noisy slurp to collect and savour all that he could.

"Oh my, aren't you just the sweetest thing?" he antagonised, smacking his lips to savour the taste. Starlight's eyes had gone from deathly glares at his actions to waterlogged and wordlessly pleading for him to stop, but Double Diamond wasn't going to have any of that.

Still holding her pelvis in his grip, Double Diamond moved up Starlight's underside, pressing his stomach to hers, aligning her opening with his cock, erect in anticipation from having his mouth all over Starlight's crotch.

"You have no idea how long I've waited for this..." he cooed as he felt the head of his penis press up against Starlight. As slick as it was from the combination of his saliva and Starlight's arousal, he felt more friction than there should have been, and it was then he remembered what he discovered in the drawer. "Almost forgot..."

Still elevated off the floor thanks to the chains, Starlight's back legs hung listlessly against the floor as her gaze followed Double Diamond as he reached for the shredded sheet on the floor. He nudged aside some of the cloth with his nose to reveal the little bottle underneath.

To Double Diamond, the surprised look on Starlight's face told him that she was surprised to see that little bottle.

"I see you recognise this," he began. "Figured you'd have at least something to keep your estrus abated when it rolled around. I couldn't find your... toys, however." Starlight's brow furrowed slightly in confusion and her head cocked to the side. "What? They were supposed to be there?" Double Diamond snickered with realisation.

It would seem that Starlight had left the toys in the draw, but between her last using them and now, somepony had stolen them when they got their cutie mark back. That same pony, or ponies, he thought, must be enjoying themselves, courtesy of Starlight Glimmer. They probably needed it after this long.

Double Diamond bit the top off the bottle and spat it to the side where it hit the wall with a near inaudible 'donk'. He sat on his haunches with the bottle in his mouth between Starlight's legs to keep them open. Nonchalantly, he upended the bottle and poured half the remaining contents onto the head of his cock, letting a few stray rivers of lube work their way down his shaft. Using the soft underside of his hoof, he took his time to work the lube all over his dick. He could feel it throb as he did this, eagerly awaiting that which Starlight had depraved him of and now would be using her for.

With a nice, even coating, he emptied the remainder of the bottle onto Starlight’s lower region. He smiled as it ran down in between her legs, dripping from the top of her slit to pool beneath her flanks.

Double Diamond used his hoof to smear it around, the edge of his hoof parting Starlight's nether-lips, allowing ample amounts to coat her enough so the stallion could easily enter the mare. He leaned back, using a hoof to support himself as his cock twitched, inches away from its goal.

Still plenty flexible, Double Diamond smacked it against Starlight's marehood with a resounding wet smack, making her whole body to jump and the chains to clatter slightly. He did this again and again, and each time Starlight gave a weak whine of protest.

Eventually he stopped, pressing the head of his member against her folds and eased the head in. But Double Diamond was just getting started. Instead of pushing it all the way in, he took the time to savour the radiating heat emanating from Starlight's snatch. He pulled out just enough to leave his tip in, then pressed a hoof against her clitoris. Starlight gave a throaty grunt at the touch. Double Diamond worked his hoof in circles around the nub for a bit, savouring each and every passing moment he was teasing the helpless mare before him.

Finally ready for his prize, he pressed off with his supporting hoof and leaned forward, his cock still nesting itself between Starlight's marehood. Slowly he stood up, each small action further teasing both himself and Starlight. He leaned over her, curling his forehooves under Starlight's own and hooking them around her shoulders. His cock twitching and ready for action, Double Diamond both pushed himself in and pulled Starlight down onto him.

It had been long. Too long, in fact, as the moment the head of Double Diamond's cock entered Starlight, the sudden pleasure rush to the cock head made the stallion's eyes widen with sudden pleasure as his head fell into the crook of her neck, his mouth hanging agape.

"O-ohhhh..." he groaned in wordless pleasure with each inch of meat he stuffed into Starlight.

Her eyes were widened with sheer, utter disbelief as pools of moisture formed in the corners of her eyes. How could he be doing this? She had given him equality; he had always wanted that. No longer did he have to worry about other ponies holding titles over him like what happened where he was from. Starlight just lay there, feeling her canal getting increasingly full with each passing second.

Starlight was numb to everything else, her attention focused on the feeling of the lubed-up rod sliding further, deeper into her canal.

"O-oh fu-huuuuuck!" Double Diamond moaned from the back of his throat as he felt his medial ring press against Starlight. He just cooed a quiet "Hmmm", waiting a moment before he looked to her again. He gave a curt nod, and Starlight shook her head.

"M-hn, M-HN!" she begged, furiously shaking her head. But Double Diamond just kept nodding feverishly as he thrust forward, his medial ring entering Starlight. The sudden sensation, it was... it was like having a steady, slow-building pressure against something, then, all of a sudden that pressure burst forth. Her body was flooded with endorphins her brain was working overtime to produce from the tantalising 'full' feeling of being hilted as Double Diamond's heavy balls slapped her ass as he held there for what felt like an eternity.

The stallion's breath escaped his throat with ragged gasps. He hadn't felt this satisfied in years. Every time he masturbated at home, the sensation was short lived: it only took him a few minutes from beginning to finish, but this time he wouldn't need to clean up after himself.

Total, utter, bliss was all that he felt, and he craved more of it.

Double Diamond took a moment to compose his ragged breathing and steady his increasing heart rate before giving another sharp thrust forward to make sure he was fully hilted inside Starlight. The mare jerked in her binds and her body spasmed in response as one of the pools of water forming in her eyes trailed its way down her cheek.

Double Diamond didn't see that happen, he was too focused on his own pleasure. Without moving his head from the crook of Starlight's neck in which it lay as Double Diamond slumped over her, he slowly rolled his hips back, pulling his embedded rod from Starlight's opening. He stopped when he felt the pull of his medial ring, and then rammed himself back in which caused the other water pool in Starlight's other eye to fall.

He buried himself deep inside Starlight, feeling a sensation getting tighter the deeper he went, which told him either she was normally this tight, or her toys weren't as long as she'd've liked them to be. Instead, he kept repeating this action several times, getting used to the feeling and growing pleasure.

Normally when Double Diamond masturbated before he got his cutie mark back, the resulting pleasure would make his legs feel like jelly for a minute or so. If that was after a quick mastie, then right now his legs could only just support him. Stuffing himself into Starlight made his legs tremble under him from the onslaught of pleasure to his groin, and he wanted to make sure he could stand up on his own before he moved onto actually giving her a proper rutting.

After the initial thrusts, he began to slowly pull his slick cock out. He could feel every inch of Starlight's hot pussy as he removed himself. When he was finally free, he sat down on his haunches with a huff, looking at the mare’s dripping pussy, her clitoris winking from the penetration as if it was telling him to do it again.

Starlight just gave a few weak sniffles, her eyes rolling around in her head as Double Diamond spied the twin trails of moisture running down her cheeks.

He came here to vindicate himself. Starlight took his cutie mark, so it was only fair he took something from her. He had come this far and wasn't about to give up just because of a feeble show of emotions from her.

Double Diamond stood back up on his hind legs, guiding his lubed and mare-juice soaked cock back towards its target as he braced himself against Starlight's shoulder.

The head slipped in as a silent gasp escaped his mouth, sliding his length back into her, medial ring and all, gently hilting himself in Starlight as deeply as he could manage.

Judging from Starlight's ragged breathing, Double Diamond could tell that she was less than pleased with him right now, but the stallion was thoroughly pleased with her. With a gentle rocking of his hips, Double Diamond began thrusting in and out in half-strokes. Each time he did, the fleshy ring of his cock rubbed up against Starlight’s folds and her clitoris. She could feel her own orgasm building from this, and she wondered who would outlast who. Estrus had passed about a month ago and Starlight hadn't used her toys since, so she was slightly tighter than she otherwise would have been during heat from using her toys.

At its height, and if Starlight was feeling ridiculously horny from a particularly strong day, she would take one or two toys and wander off into the caves where she could scream with pleasure as loud as she wanted without having to alert half the town. She often came with intensity a couple times before she cleaned herself and went back.

But now, with an actual stallion's cock inside her instead of her fake phalluses, it was a whole different ball game.

Starlight felt Double Diamond pick up speed in his thrusts, his nasal breathing and clenched jaw indicating that he too was approaching climax.

Suddenly, Double Diamond stopped mid-thrust at one point to adjust himself for a different angle. He proceeded to pick back up at the same pace. The change of angle inside Starlight was hitting completely different bundles of nerves from before. She knew at that point she would be the first to cum, but Double Diamond didn't look too far off.

Starlight tried using her rear hooves against the floor to push herself off of the stallion to prevent her release, but he saw her do this and the white stallion chastised her again with a condescending "Tsk tsk tsk". She tried to keep herself pushed far enough back, but Double Diamond kept slapping his hips against her, harder, and faster with every stroke.

The space between thrusts grew shorter, pistoning himself in and out with wet schlicks, Double Diamond's ballsack slapping wetly against Starlight's clit. He was about ready to cum, but his motions were met with surprise as Starlight began struggling feverishly, more than usual.

"No no no," he pleaded. "I'm almost about there..."

Truth is, Starlight was struggling because she felt her climax approaching. Fast. Every thrust from his cock, every slap against her clit from the ballsack, every time his medial ring rubbed against her folds, all the unwanted pleasure coursing throughout her... It all became too much, and she bucked hard, arching her back, her forehooves pulling at the chains as she rose off the ground. Her orgasm assaulted her with a vengeance and she slumped back down as the wave hit her like a crashing tidal wave.

"You too!?" Double Diamond asked with incredulity as he kept bucking his hips against hers. "I h-hope y-you can h-hold it in!" he exclaimed, giving his pelvis one more thrust, harder than he had ever done up until this point. The tip of his cock flared out as he came, shooting rope after rope of hot, sticky cum into Starlight's depths.

Double Diamond held himself in her for what felt like an eternity as he kept unloading his balls into her nethers. The stallion had no idea he had this much cum in him! He didn't care, he was just glad he managed to finally get some pent-up release. The build up to this moment, in every sense of the word, was a long time in the making and he enjoyed every bit of it.

He felt several more tremorous twitches of his cock as the last of his seed left him. He carefully pulled out his aching shaft, not letting his load leave her where possible. With the head the last to be removed, the only thing stopping the sticky load from escaping, he eased it out of her hole.

It slipped out easily enough, but the spasming of Starlight's pelvic muscles from her orgasm caused her pussy to wink a few times, leaking a few beads of cum.

For the millionth time that night, but for the final time in that moment, Double Diamond once more looked into Starlight's eyes. They were bloodshot, soaked, her cheeks and face completely flushed. Using one of the cloth strips, he wrapped  it around his hoof and used it to wipe away Starlight's tears.

"There there, that wasn't so bad, was it?" She nodded. "It was that bad?" Double Diamond just gave a short chortle in response. "Pfft. Now you know how badly you screwed this whole town over," he added coldly. "How long you made us keep to ourselves—even during estrus which was particularly bad for the mares, telling us to be quiet if we spoke out of turn, however subtle of a manner it may have been."

He gave Starlight a sideways glare as he picked himself up, using one of the cloth strips to clean his penis off. At this point, Double Diamond blew out the candles lighting the room and picked up the rest of the cloth strips in his muzzle from where they were, throwing the one he used to clean himself with onto her chest.

Though right before he left, a rather interesting idea popped into his mind. With a devious smile, he picked up the used rag from Starlight’s chest and crumpled it up into a tight ball. Then, as she watched on with rapt attention, he spread her legs again and slowly pushed it inside her pussy. “There... now my cum can keep you warm from the inside...”

Starlight's muzzle was still gagged, but that didn't matter. His previous statement was spoken in such a way that she would take the hint. Eventually she would remove it, but hopefully he was threatening enough to be sure she wouldn't do so any time soon, let alone speak to anyone about what happened.

The mare before Double Diamond was silently weeping to herself as he went to the door, opening it to let the moonlight flow in and properly illuminate Starlight. Her head was tilted to the side as she wept, her hips bucking uselessly against the sheet inside her.

He stopped for a moment, looking down at the floor as he felt a slight pang run through his gut. Was he sorry for what he did? Did he regret it? He shook those doubts out of his head. 'No, she stole our lives from us. She deserved what she got.' He held his head high, dismissing any lingering doubts that he had. The door to the re-education room clicked shut behind him, leaving Starlight as she was as he locked it with the key.

Turning his back towards Starlight, he began the walk back to his house, enjoying the late-night smell of the petrichor from the encroaching dew.

By the time he got back into his own bed, he saw the time on his clock to be three-thirty in the morning. Night Glider would be checking on Starlight in the morning. Although he wasn't sure of a specific time, he would know when she would come to him to ask for the key.

Before, Starlight had led the town to the re-education room to check on the town's new visitor or visitors when everypony had woken up. Nonetheless, Double Diamond gave a small chuckle to himself when he imagined what Night Glider would find—and smell—in that room when she went into it.

Now that he had expended enough energy to fall asleep, it was mere minutes before he fell into a blissful slumber, all snuggled up in his duvet.
	
	
> Chapter 2: Night Glider
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	The door to the re-education room swung open, hitting the inside wall with a loud bang. A crude, yet effective wake-up alarm for Starlight Glimmer. She jolted awake, blinking several times in confusion as the sunlight pouring in through the front door momentarily blinded her. The blinking caused the events from last night to play out in broken parts, racing through her mind’s eye like a flickering photo reel.

Starlight grimaced as she remembered what happened last night. She pulled her hind legs closer to herself, curling herself into a tighter ball as her tail fell over her flank. Night Glider perceived it to be a shock reaction to the morning cold air coming in through the front door.

"Good morning," Night Glider said out of courtesy above anything else, but with a contemptuous undertone. She took her saddlebags off and put them just inside of the door, closing it behind her but not locking it.

Starlight didn't look at the mare in front of her, rather she regarded Night Glider's presence while her gaze trained itself on a knot in the wood of one of the floor's planks.

Night Glider proceeded to open one flap of the bag and pulled out two portion-sized boxes of pre-packed cereal—as these are used for storing the equally measured cereal flakes, alongside a half-litre carton of milk with a spoon and bowl. "I brought you breakfast," she stated, bringing everything over to Starlight so she could reach it.

When Night Glider got close enough to Starlight, she caught whiff of an unpleasant, heavy musk as she cleared it from her nose with an abrupt huff of her nostrils. 'Phwoar, she needs a shower...'

Instead of accepting the food, Starlight turned her head to face the opposite direction: the wall, refusing the offer of food. "Suit yourself," Night Glider said with an indifferent shrug as she turned to leave, leaving the cereal, milk, spoon, and bowl with Starlight. "Everyone is coming down to the fields to help plant, pull the ploughs, and so on around noon. I'll bring you lunch before I leave to help, then."

Nothing else was said, leaving the air of tension intact as Night Glider locked the door behind her. She deliberately left her bags behind so she wouldn't need to go by her house to get them on her way to check on Starlight again. She hoped to take back a dirty bowl and spoon back to clean with her morning dishes.





~~~***~~~





Telling everypony she'd catch up after feeding their prisoner, Night Glider made her way back to the re-education room. The sun was high in the sky, which meant that it was around lunch time. She unlocked the door and stepped inside, closing it behind her and placing a sack of food on the floor next to her bags.

Night Glider spied the open and emptied cereal packets and milk carton. She was pleasantly surprised at seeing this, having expected it all to still be intact. She half expected Starlight to not eat anything as a form of protest until Princess Twilight returned to claim her.

Starlight looked up to Night Glider as the mare locked the door behind her. Being as quiet as it was with nopony else in the town, the 'klunk' of the old lock's bolt sliding into place became louder and felt more foreboding to Starlight; a worried and sunken express written all over her face.

Starlight then looked over to the burlap sack and the saddle bags nervously.

"I brought you lunch. Everything is being rationed out at the moment. It's at least twice as much as what we got from you, so it's only fair you get as much so you know what a proper meal feels like." The last several words were laced with contempt. Starlight noticed this and looked down with guilt. She was glad that she now knew the contents of the other bag too.

Her heart rate picked up slightly when she saw Night Glider hook a leg into her saddlebag and pull it forward, an ever-so-slight grin beginning to form.

Night Glider sat on her haunches with the front of the bag facing her, but away from Starlight as she dug around, deliberately taking her sweet time doing so.

"Which one should it be..." Night Glider murmured, half her foreleg disappearing into the bag. Her eyes lit up with purpose and the grin on the mare's face became unsettling to Starlight.

After Night Glider left the room in the early hours of the morning, Starlight had wondered why she'd left her bag in the room. She tentatively went over and lifted the flap, and a multitude of thoughts ran through her mind. Confusion, bewilderment, but above all; she was utterly mortified.

Starlight tried to make herself as small as she possibly could on the bed. She knew she'd be getting her just desserts, and after last night, wished it would be over as fast as possible.

"Ah-ha! I had fun with this one last night, so lets hope it does the same for you as it did, me." Night Glider pulled out a long, pink, rubber dildo with slightly raised ridges along its length with a reasonably sized head to prevent it from falling out. "I was surprised at how many you had."

She propped it up against the open satchel, flying up to the rafters and dropping down two more manacles and placing the key on top of the rafter out of Starlight's reach, the chain on these two left shorter by several inches. While up there, she pulled and shortened the ones already connected to Starlight so they were all the same length.

Starlight got jerked forward off the 'bed' and fell into a pile on the floor. She frantically pulled at the chains to get back on the bed, but to no avail. Starlight knew what was coming, but that didn't mean she couldn't put up some resistance unless she was somehow jumped like last night, hoping that by doing so it might dissuade Night Glider.

With her rear left hoof as a support and pulling back on the chains for leverage, she pulled her spare leg back, loading it like a compressed spring to buck Night Glider if she came too close. Starlight snarled; the corner of her nose flaring in anger towards the mare in front of her.

Night Glider just snickered in amusement at the display. She took flight, hovering at the halfway point on the chains. "You know what lightning is?" she ambiguously asked. Starlight kept her gaze fixed upon the mare, leg still loaded. "Simple. It's static electricity. Do you know what happens when it builds up for too long?"

"What are you doing?" Starlight asked with tentative curiosity. Night Glider flew forward slightly, touching each outstretched wing to each length of chain. Almost immediately, Starlight's eyes widened with as she felt a static shock roar through her. Her muscles tightened, and by involuntary reflex, her limbs temporarily seized. Night Glider let up and touched back down to the ground. Starlight slumped into the middle of the room, hanging weakly by the shortened chains.

"You've studied magic, you should know that there's pegasi that're more attuned to weather manipulation than others. You never cared to ask us for any of our stories when we got here," Night Glider said with venom. "Had you done so, I would have told you that I loved flying at night. The crisp petrichor after rain, the cool evening air from after a hot day. It was just the best thing ever to fly through.

"It was an accident at the time, of course. My mother, brother, and myself, were always wondering why we were all getting small jolts from walking on the carpet whenever I went flying. Somewhere along the lines, I found I had more of an aptitude for generating lightning by jumping on clouds, and later on, found out the trick I just showed you."

Starlight took a moment to groan and shift. To Starlight, it felt like she had burned herself on an oven. But the pain didn't last several hours, instead the momentary pain subsided in a moment or so, but the lingering memory of the jolt remained with her. "I'm not some animal you can shock into submission!" Starlight roared in protest.

Starlight began to stand, but because the chains had been shortened she found herself sitting on her flank with her front hooves outstretched; not able to touch the floor with her front hooves. She glowered at Night Glider, whom proceeded to walk forward and touch her wings to the chains again. Starlight locked up and collapsed again. Night Glider took the moment to grab Starlight's tail from between her legs and pull, swinging her rear forward so her stomach was pointed at the roof.

Starlight's back legs were manacled so she was essentially hanging from the rafters in chains like a hammock. She struggled, swaying all over the room to her captor's amusement.

"What do you think you are doing?!" she bellowed. "Don't think I won't tell the Princesses about this!"

"But you're not going to, are you?" Night Glider said. Starlight gave her a quizzical look. "Who are they going to believe: you, or us? For all they know you could be making up wild accusations against us in an attempt to gain sympathy."

Night Glider picked up the ridged pink toy and brought it over to the struggling mare. She draped it over Starlight's neck, dragging it across her esophagus; the ridges and bumps massaging Starlight's skin. She didn't move. Starlight was stock-still out of fear. Night Glider then proceeded to run the toy over Starlight's mouth mockingly, the pink mare pursing her lips tighter than a blacksmith's vice.

"Awww, can't have you doing that now, can we?" She casually left the toy on Starlight's chest, going over to the saddle bags and pulling out another item: a small, three-inch long plug that tapered to a rounded point for ease of insertion, but flared to about an inch and a half at the base of the 'cone'. Towards the base of it had a three-quarter long recess where it would 'lock' itself into whichever orifice it was inserted into. The very bottom of the toy had a suction cup attached to it so the user could put it on the floor or other surface for repeated insertion without having to pull it out manually.

However, its intended use isn't what Night Glider had in mind. She pressed the toy to Starlight's lips. "Open wide," she taunted, increasing the pressure with every passing second. Starlight refused, turning her head away whenever she could. Getting tired of the lack of compliance, Night Glider went behind Starlight and hooked a foreleg under her chin to hold her head steady, using the other to pinch her nostrils while holding the toy to Starlight's lips.

The mare could only hold her breath for so long, and she reached the apex of the held breath before her body started screaming at her to inhale oxygen. She cracked a corner of her lips open to try and sneak in a breath, but it was quickly closed with the rounded end of the toy. Her lungs burned with carbon dioxide build up and she began squirming in protest.

"Open wide..." Night Glider said, taunting Starlight for the moment when she did. "You know, everypony is sowing the field. So regardless if whether or not this goes in your mouth matters not. Either way I'm going to be having fun with you, and nopony will hear your screams," she said darkly.

Starlight's chest began heaving, taking in non-existent gulps of air. The toy Night Glider left on her abdomen fell off and to the floor with a thud. Eventually, it became too much to bear. In defeat, she drew in a massive gulp of precious oxygen, expelling the carbon dioxide build-up.

That was the moment Night Glider slipped the plug into her mouth as Starlight drew in more breaths around the rubber. Starlight relaxed as best she could and let the delicious oxygen replace the noxious byproduct of exhaling. Night Glider held the toy in while she used a length of rope over the base of the suction cup, tied behind Starlight's head, to hold it in place.

"Normally I like screaming and moaning. Well, the sexy kind anyway. And while I did say that it didn't matter if this was in or not, you wouldn't want to ruin your voice and my ears by screaming." Night Glider picked up the toy that dropped on the floor and set it aside near the bags, pulling out a different toy and a bottle.

This one was an average-sized stallion's penis, but could be described as a veiny, triumphant bastard, complete with balls. The bottom of it had a suction cup too so it could be on the floor, and the size of the fake balls kept it from falling over, but did nothing to stop it from flailing about in all its rubber glory, all to Night Glider's pleasure.

She put the jet black toy just forward of Starlight's nethers, popped the top off the bottle, and let a small amount dribble onto the head of the fake phallus. "You had a lot of lube, and, for some reason, decided to open more than one bottle while the other was half finished?" she added rhetorically. "I just poured one bottle into the other until I had two full, two empty—which I threw away, and I left one other behind because it didn't have much left in it."

Night Glider set the bottle down within reach and sat on her haunches, her nethers nestled right up against the base of the cock as a bead of lubrication trickled down it. She leaned forward to inhale Starlight's musk through her nose and hummed with delight and a roll of her eyes. The mare then took a lick from the bottom to the top of Starlight's pussy and gave her clit a little flick, making her shudder.

Having gotten herself sufficiently aroused, Night Glider began to sit up, but paused when her nether lips brushed against the head of the lubed-up dildo. She pressed down on it, parting her lower lips as she let out a soft moan from the head penetrating her folds. With panting breaths and fire in her eyes, Night Glider put her muzzle back into Starlight's crotch and began to lick some more.

She started off slow with her tongue, lashing it across Starlight's folds.

Her pelvis slid lower onto the cock within her. Each second she spent lowering herself onto it, her assault against Starlight gained pace. Half way down the dildo, Night Glider paused and decided to purse her lips around Starlight's clit, sucking on it like a foal would a lollypop.

From the sudden buzz of pleasure, Starlight came, releasing a small gush of marecum from the abrupt stimulation. Night Glider let that drip to the floor and continued suckling on her prize. Lower and lower she went onto the plastic penis, all the while her ministrations becoming increasingly vigorous. Starlight wailed in protest, pulling against the chains, but every time she did so, she pulled against the firm suction Night Glider had around her love-button, causing her to wince in discomfort.

Starlight felt humiliated, degraded... She gave a few tearless sobs at how helpless she was.

With a resounding pop, Night Glider released her over-sucked, and thus engorged clitorus, looking into Starlight's eyes with lust and an extremely flushed expression. She gyrated her hips on the spot, the dildo fully inside her canal, setting it more comfortably. "Where did you even get this? It's not the biggest–but wow is it good! I can feel all the veins, bumps... And don't get me started on the ring!"

She then wrapped her forelegs under Starlight's rear legs and around, onto her torso, pulling her forward more. Night Glider began to bounce up and down on the veiny cock within her a couple inches at a time, letting her lust-addled mind work through her voice to fill the room with moans of pleasure. "Oh b-buck... Oh Starlight, y-you certainly kno-OH BUCK!" Night Glider felt herself approach climax, but had to restrain herself from actually cumming.

She panted heavily, biting her lip as she waited for the feeling of climax to come down slightly, sitting up so the toy wouldn't accidentally hit any nerve endings.

Starlight looked at the mare before her in disbelief. Impaled upon a cock, few beads of sweat running down her forehead, panting for breath at nearly having came...

Something inside Starlight stirred, something like...

Oh no...

Last night, Double Diamond had flat-out violated her, but seeing Night Glider in such a state caused her nethers to tingle as the sudden realisation hit her. 'The more she uses that in front of me...'

She tried shaking such thoughts from her mind, interrupted by Night Glider's muzzle against her pussy. She took a long, drawn-out lick up against her as she let half the dildo slide out. In one fluid motion she completely hilted herself on it, and that's where Night Glider's inhibitions left her.

She started bouncing up and down on the toy like no tomorrow, the medial ring aggressively massaging her folds every time it slid in and out, getting coated in glistening juices. Night Glider hungrily ate out Starlight, paying no mind at how much noise she was making.

Night Glider savoured as much of the bound mare's juices as she could, both from Starlight's own, now-dripping arousal, and the cum from mini-orgasms such a tongue-lashing could bring about.

She gave throaty moans of desire throughout, and Starlight just bit down on the toy preventing her speech as she spasmed under Night Glider.

Several minutes later, she could feel a burning sensation beginning to build, working its way down to her ravished pussy. She began to squirm harder for what was going to happen. A crescendo of endorphins hit her like water falling over a waterfall and hitting the rocks below, and she came.

Hard.

Starlight tensed up, giving a high-pitched squeal through the plug as a gush of marecum hit Night Glider in the face. Half way through this, Night Glider opened her mouth and closed it around Starlight's honeypot. She swallowed eagerly, humming in delight as she tasted Starlight's nectar.

Night Glider pulled away, her face and muzzle completely matted with cum, some of it streaking down where her mane got in the way. She huffed in satisfaction and looked at Starlight's soaking sex.

It was then she spied something that shouldn't have been there. Starlight's pussy winked and whatever it was became more apparent. A few threads of... something? It looked to be the ratty fibres they used to weave the linen on the loom. Curiously, she used her teeth to grasp at them and pulled. It took a few tries because of momentary impaired motor function from her orgasm, accidentally nipping Starlight's tender folds, but she got it.

As it came free, Night Glider's eyes widened with shock and disbelief. A balled-up bundle of cloth fell free and landed on the floor with a plop, and she looked up to Starlight, whom had a shit-eating grin on her face. While Starlight did indeed cum, her orgasm wasn't the only ejaculate Night Glider swallowed, and it was this she was grinning at.

NIght Glider leaned down to sniff at it a few times. The first couple times she tried to discern the smell that didn't belong to Starlight, and that's when it hit her.

"Double Diamond..." she said quietly with reserved disbelief. She looked up to Starlight while gesturing at the soiled cloth and spoke a bit more loudly. "Did he come in here last night?"

"Vt vn ve zkn a fw wvyz," she mumbled through the gag.

"I was wondering why he smelt odd this morning..." Night Glider said. She then added; "But with that out of the way instead of accidentally pushing it deeper if I had used one of the toys on you first, now I actually can!"

Starlight's smug grin quickly left her face as Night Glider released the suction on the dildo attached to the floor and nonchalantly wiped it clean with Starlight's tail. She put it next to the bag with the rest of the stuff from and took out one more toy.

It was a dark shade of blue and at least twenty inches long. with several inches of useable length along each shaft, save for the ball in the middle. It was designed to prevent more sliding into one than the other. Unlike the rest which had ridges and bumps, this one was made of stiffer rubber with rounded heads. As un-penis like as it was, its purpose was clear.

Night Glider supported it at opposite ends and proceeded to effortlessly slide one end into Starlight. She eased it in halfway then paused to put her mouth on the other end. Gripping it with her teeth, she pushed the remainder into Starlight. With the head of it in her mouth, Starlight relaxed her grip on the shaft and let it slide into her muzzle, taking a moment to draw a breath before letting the rest of it glide deeper. She slowly pulled back and Starlight gave her a quizzical look at this.

"I know what you're thinking, but to answer your question, mares come first; no pun intended. That still doesn't mean I'll turn down a stallion if I'm in the mood. I can take slightly longer ones, width permitting."

Night Glider turned around as the saliva-coated end sticking out of Starlight bobbed up and down, reaching back with a wingtip to place the other head at her own opening. Her eager lips parted with ease, taking in the shaft as Night Glider huffed at the smooth sensation of the double-ender entering her.

She felt the rounded base of the toy bump up against her folds, and she took several more steps back. With each step, she pressed back against Starlight, who in turn, due to her 'position', was forced by gravity to press forward against the mare, making the double-ender press blissfully firmly against her at least, all the while Starlight just grunted in ways which Night Glider couldn't discern were of pleasure or something else, but she didn't care.

Behaving like a pendulum with a dildo attached to it, Starlight rammed forward into Night Glider each time she bumped back against her. Night Glider gave a high-pitched moan and began to rock back and forward.

Night glider pushed Starlight back every time the toy hilted inside her, pulling forward enough so a good portion of the toy would slide out, then in one swift movement pushed back as the toy repeatedly buried itself inside of her.

She bit her lip to stifle her own moans, despite nopony around to hear them, doing it more for the merit of wanting to hear the wet slaps of Starlight and her protests of being made to fuck Night Glider creatively.

Flesh met flesh with wet, resounding schlaps, the toy penetrating them both as stifled moans and grunts escaped the mouths of the now-sweating mares were the only thing to be heard in the room.

Starlight sung in tandem with Night Glider as time began to blur into a hazy euphoria of sex and sweat.

Night Glider tried to be as discreet as she could when it came to sex; but that only added to the experience. Being stealthy about what she got up to and whom she bedded; she felt as innocent as a celibate priestess doing push-ups in a field of cucumbers, and she enjoyed every moment of it.

It got to the point where Night Glider's legs began to grow increasingly weak from the constant onslaught of pleasure radiating from her nethers. She kept groaning in frustration at not yet having came from fucking Starlight as she was, but that only served as fuel to increase her drive to finish.

Night Glider paused a moment to readjust herself in the middle of being fucked by Starlight, in a roundabout manner that is. She lifted her right hind leg and draped it along Starlight's stomach, pushing back with her other three legs. The adjusted angle made Night Glider's end of the toy slide that much more deeper to reach the sweet spot within. Had she continued doing what she was, the resulting orgasm wouldn't've been overly enjoyable.

Night Glider let out a moan of pure bliss, taking a moment to acclimate before continuing. She used her leg draped over Starlight to push her and the toy out, then let it ram right back in. Night Glider's whole body tensed and flexed from the deeper penetration as the base of her half of the toy bumped up against her folds.

She lifted her leg higher this time instead of using it to lever Starlight in and out of her, and this caused Starlight's momentum to press down harder on the toy. The central bulge of the dildo began to be swallowed up by Night Glider's eager pussy. As this happened, Night Glider's eyes twitched and rolled back in her head as the finale of the building sensation she had been longing for.

The toy slid that much more deeper to tease the nerves within that hadn't been touched, and the feeling of being spread to accompany the girth of the middle of the toy became the catalyst to ignite the burning sensation rising within Night Glider.

She let loose a primal, involuntary scream of pleasure as the crescendo of pleasure inhibited what control she had over her body. Her front legs, which had been supporting her weight mostly with the other leg in the air, buckled as she rode out the endorphin-soaked high from cumming so hard.

Night Glider dropped to the floor, panting heavily. The entirety of her coat around her hips and between her legs undoubtedly had become matted and drenched with a combination of both her and Starlight's marecum. A few lingering strands remained after Night Glider collapsed, but a few soon separated and dripped to the floor while another couple strands fell back against each mare.

Night Glider was but a heap on the floor amongst everything: dildos, cum, lube... She lay there for several minutes while she rode out the pleasure.

When sensation returned to her limbs, she tried standing up.

The pegasus went over to Starlight, whom was still swaying in whichever direction thanks to the chains, only one end of a double-ended toy was sticking out of her pussy and bobbing every which way. She used the edge of her hoof to help slide the toy out, and it did so with ease, landing on the floor with a floppy thud.

Without a word, and using her mouth, Night Glider happily picked up the end that had been inside Starlight and put it, and the rest of the toys, back in her saddle bags. Last but not least, the butt-plug turned mouth-plug.

Surprisingly, Starlight didn't make any kind of protest. She let the toy slip out of her mouth, closing it after.

Starlight just... lay there. She was void of any voluntary motion.

Night Glider put everything away without incident, then lastly came to unlock Starlight's rear legs and lengthen the chains holding her front.

Starlight's rear legs hit the floor with an unceremonious thud, the shackles pulled back up and coiled on top. Night Glider let Starlight down as gently as she could, still maintaining the slack to stop her just shy of the door.

Starlight clumsily shuffled around on the floor a moment to gather her strength and stood up, going back over to the bed to lay down, facing away from Night Glider.

The first thing on Night Glider's mind was another shower when she got home, and cleaning her bag and its contents. Fortunately nopony should be in town, so there was a brief window in which she could get back to her house before everypony was due back.

Straps, bags, and contents secured, Night Glider opened the door to leave. "I'll bring yo—"

"Just go!" Starlight snapped, turning to glare back at Night Glider venomously. "Just... go..." she added, voice trailing off, dejectedly turning away.

Taken aback by the outburst, Night Glider didn't say anything further.

She closed the door and locked it behind her, looking left and right to double check nopony was wandering around before she began a brisk canter back to her house.





~~~***~~~





It was late into the afternoon when Double Diamond saw Night Glider flying in from the direction of the town. She touched down and he saw her exchange words with Sugar Belle.

Night Glider told Sugar Belle to take Starlight some dinner, warning that Starlight would be angry at being locked in the room for two days now, and give her a key, which double Diamond assumed to be for the re-education room.

When she trotted over to him, he asked, "Where have you been?"

"Well, Starlight made a bit of a mess after I brought her lunch," she said with hidden innuendo, "so I had to clean it all up." While she was telling the truth, she said it without context but alluded to Starlight making a mess of the lunch Night Glider brought her, hoping Double Diamond would correlate the two.

"...And that took you this long?" he pressed. His nose twitched slightly as he caught a whiff of the mare. "And why do you smell like you had a shower? I thought you always had one when you woke up?"

"It was a big mess?" She hopefully thought he would buy that too.

"Alright, if you say so," he said with a shake of his head, believing her story. "Next time, instead of giving her so much food she has spare to throw at you like a foal, do what my mother did. Because my little sister was a bit of a food-thrower from getting temper tantrums from time to time, she'd get a slightly smaller amount than me.”

"That way sis was more likely to eat everything and not get hungry—which was the only way to get another helping of your favourite meal, and not throw it in anger, like I'm assuming Starlight did. Both she and I didn't get anything more, nor desert if anything like that happened."

"Sounds harsh," Night Glider pointed out.

"But fair," Double Diamond defended. "My mother's menu consisted of two choices; take it or leave it." Night Glider snorted with amusement. "She would give you the freedom to choose whichever you wanted and always promised the appropriate result," he said. "No point having another helping, or dessert, if you didn't want to finish your meal."

"Heh, I can respect that."

"She gave it to the pigs we kept instead of throwing it in the trash," Double Diamond continued. "Sis wasn't too happy about seeing her favourite dinner getting fed to the pigs if she had a tantrum, so she quickly learned what would happen."

"Why'd your family keep pigs? Sorry, but either you told me and I didn't remember or you didn't tell me to begin with."

"I don't remember if I did or didn't, either," he admitted with surprise. "We would raise pigs from piglets that were bred communally where I lived, fed them food scraps, and then sell them to a tribe of gryphons that lived a day’s trot away.”

"Yeah, the town got extra money for doing very little work with regards to that, and as a result, we were better off than a few of other villages that were dotted around."

"Oh wow," Night Glider said with mild surprise. Then, she said in realisation, "Looks like we've got lots to talk about now that we got our cutie marks back!" She happily shook her rump, glad her mark returned to its rightful place.

Double Diamond noticed this and grinned. "Hey, why don't you help the rest of us finish planting? Me and a few others are going to head off soon because we were the first to get here and've done our share, so you can finish up."

"Sure!" This was more than fair, and Night Glider was more than happy to oblige. It took her a couple hours to finish the rest of the planting, at which point she helped the remaining ponies pack up their gear and head back to town. By this stage Sugar Belle had already left to take Starlight her dinner.

Night Glider walked back to town with everyone, making conversation with various ponies as they all talked amongst themselves, sharing jokes and telling brief stories about their lives in the past.

Everypony did this at the dinner table too, and it was very late at night after dinner had been eaten, the dishes cleaned and put away, and the all the tables put away.

While talking with Double Diamond, Night Glider and he began sharing small jokes which somehow evolved into innuendo that had the pair giggling between themselves. When Night Glider said goodbye to Double Diamond, she gave him a small nip at his ear and looked at him with half-lidded eyes, for their bout of dirty jokes began to turn her on.

Fortunately, Double Diamond wasn't oblivious to why Night Glider did that, but unfortunately for him, the drying laundry wasn't the only thing that was getting pegged that night.
	
> Chapter 3: Party Favour & Sugar Belle
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Party Favour and Sugar Belle, exempt from doing the planting in the fields, and upon having cleaned the bakery's kitchen in entirety, began collecting the soon-to-be expired food from the pantries.

"What've we got, Favour?" Sugar Belle cheerily asked.

"Uhh..." He scanned the various baskets and shelves. However, his eyes were redirected to the baskets of fruit on the shelves angled forward, seeing bruises and discolourations beginning to unpleasantly decorate the fruit. "How many jars and lids have we got?"

"Excluding the ones Starlight used? Maybe a few dozen or so left. Why?"

Party Favour picked out a banana that was almost completely black, holding it with his aura to keep it far away from his face as possible. "The berries, feijoas, lemons and limes; if we don't do something with them soon, we will need to put them on the compost. This banana is one of the worse off examples," he said, holding up the fruit which closely resembled Luna's dark night with notes of yellow sun speckled about.

Sugar Belle's face lit up, smiling widely. "Banana cake, and jams!" she exclaimed, perhaps with more enthusiasm than necessary.

Party Favour was quick to dash her enthusiasm, but not deliberately. "Sorry, Sugar, we've only got one sack of sugar, and making one jar of jam needs at the very least a third of what the jar can hold in sugar. Until the next shipment of supplies arrive, we've only got enough for maybe ten-to-twelve jars worth, if that."

Sugar Belle just grumbled under her breath. 'So little sugar, so many jars,' she sadly thought. "What if we just made some raspberry, and lemon-lime jam? It'll give everypony something to spread on their toast for breakfast."

Party Favour didn't seem too thrilled with that suggestion, opting to suggest a compromise. "Could we make the banana cake, and either of the jams? Jam takes a while, and it gives the others ploughing the field a treat to eat when they get back."

Sugar Belle gave a content smile at this, happy with the compromise. "That is what you call having your cake, and eating it too!" she mused, earning a giggle from Party Favour in return.

The stallion levitated a great big mixing bowl out from one of the cupboards, placing inside all the blackened bananas he could find.

"You can start cooking the jam while I make the cake batter," he suggested.

Sugar Belle nodded and gave a short "Mmhmm" in response, pulling out the largest of the pots they had. She set about dicing the lemons and limes into slices and chunks respectively as Party Favour began squeezing the bananas out of their skins like a tube of toothpaste.





Towards the later end of the afternoon, Sugar Belle finished cooking off the jam mixture to leave it overnight while Party Favour's cakes, four out of the six at least, were resting on wire cooling racks while the other two finished cooking.

As he was mixing up six batches of icing—a different flavour for each cake—he heard faint murmurs coming from outside. Getting curious, he poked his head outside and looked down the end of the street that lead off to the field everyone was at.

Confirming his suspicions, with a smile he began waving at the ponies that were coming back to the town after working said field. "Vanilla Pod!" he called jovially. "How did everything go?" he asked his friend.

"Surprisingly well," she conferred. "Night Glider came in a bit late because she was seeing to Starlight, but when she did arrive, she and Double Diamond kept talking to each other like no tomorrow!" She gave a short chuckle. "Everypony had a good time properly getting to know each other after all this time." Vanilla looked over he shoulder to see the aforementioned two walking up the road, still talking to each other.

"Speaking of, here they come!" She waved over at Night Glider and Double Diamond, who then began to quicken their pace to the bakery's doorway where Party Favour, Vanilla Pod, and by now, Sugar Belle, had gathered.

"Hey!" Sugar Belle greeted with a smile. "Double Diamond's made cake for everypony; go spread the word!"

"Oohhh, what kind of cake?" Double Diamond cooed with a lick of his lips. "Does it have any filling?"

"It's banana cake with icing," Party Favour answered. "We had to use the older bananas before they were too far gone, and these cakes will last longer than the fruit would've otherwise."

"That's cool. I'll go get cleaned up a little bit and tell everypony." He turned to leave, bidding everypony bye for the time being as he headed back to his house. Party Favour returned inside to finish icing the cakes for when the townsponies arrived for an expected slice. Hopefully there'd be enough to go around...

When he had began to leave, Night Glider fished out the key to the re-education room from the folds of her wings and passed it towards Sugar Belle with her mouth.

"Here you go," the night-blue mare said. "You're turn to babysit. Just be careful, though, she might be a bit... difficult..."

"Being locked up in a torturous room for the second day in a row now might make me a bit antsy too, especially if I'm being tried for using arguably dark magic," Sugar Belle said matter-of-factly, taking the key in her aura and magicking it off to her room.

"Also," Night Glider began, "almost forgot. She hasn't bathed in I-don't-know-how-long, and with lack of proper ventilation... The room might be a bit, well... ripe." 'I hope she buys that reason for the room reeking like post-coitus musk, she thought.

"Should I bring her some hot water and a rag so she can clean herself?"

Night Glider considered this for a moment. "You can if you want, but she should be taken away by tomorrow evening at the earliest. And if hear-say is anything to go off, you usually get hosed off by the prison guards if you... 'offend'... too much," she said with a giggle and a wave of her hoof over her nose. Sugar Belle clearly wasn't laughing, even though it was in jest.

"Ah, heh," she coughed nervously, seeing Sugar Belle's disapproving look. "Jokes aside, you've got the key, so take her some dinner and a bucket of hot water and cloth if you want to. Double Diamond has still got the little bracelet for the nullifier ring, so just ask him if you need it. I'll come back for some cake after I've had a short nap."

Sugar Bell's expression softened and she nodded, saying; "Thank you, Night Glider."

Night Glider turned to leave and Sugar Belle went back inside the bakery to help Party Favour. "Party, want some help to finish icing the cakes?" she asked.

"Uhhh..." He hadn't expected her to ask that, and he took pause to glance around the kitchen, noticing he was yet to wash up the stuff he used for cooking. "You can finish icing these two cakes while I make some headway on the mess?" he asked. "Then after that, I can wait for the other two to cool when they're done."

"Sounds like a plan,"  she replied, taking the piping bag from Party Favour.





It was getting into late evening. The sun was beginning to set, casting its golden rays over the land as everypony began to make their way back to their respective houses.

Even though it had only been a couple days, getting used to the idea that you could go to bed whenever you wanted to without having to worry about a dictator telling you to do so was a concept yet to be fully understood. The years of being under Starlight had ingrained quite a lot of things into the heads of the town to the point they became habit-forcing, such as when to go to bed.

Party Favour and Sugar Belle put fly nets over the leftover cakes and began to close up the bakery. They needn't lock the door; everyone knew everyone. If something went missing, then it would be found sooner or later. If lots of something—and somepony—went missing at this point, then they would know who it would be.

The couple gave each other an affectionate nuzzle, humming happily at this as they made their way to Party Favour's house. His house was on the way to Sugar Belle's, so she could see him off before returning to her house.

They kept playfully hip-checking each other with Sugar Belle kept swishing her tail over her flanks while Party Favour kept his half-lidded gaze locked on her.

"So what do you want to do tonight?" Sugar Belle salaciously asked.

"I dunno..." Party Favour replied, looking ahead and pretending to ignore the advance. "I'm not exactly tired, so I thought I'd do a bit of reading and maybe practice some balloon animals a bit before bed."

Sugar Belle took this a bit harder than was intended, her gaze dropping with mock disappointment. "Oh..."

By now they had arrived at Party Favour's house, stopping outside to give each other their parting words. The stallion's faux-dismissal of Sugar Belle's nuanced question somewhat dashed her hopes for what she wanted to... 'do', which made what Party Favour was about to do all the more better.

"So... goodnight, then," Sugar Belle demurely said. "I'll go check on Starlight..." As she began to walk away to go to her house to prepare Starlight dinner—and get the key for the re-education room—Party Favour gave her rump a firm flick with his tail, eliciting a shark, surprised squeak from the mare.

She turned around, wide-eyed with surprise, seeing the stallions wide grin. "Come on, Sugar, did you really think I was going to turn you down?" He waggled his eyebrows playfully at her.

Sugar Belle's expression went from confused to excited, and she pounced on the stallion, pressing him against the door with a firm, hot kiss,  humming with satisfaction as she wrapped her hooves around his neck to hold him close.

Party Favour fumbled behind him for the door's handle, turning it, whereupon the couple fell inside with a thud and an 'oof' on Party Favour's behalf. Sugar Belle just giggled at him, momentarily breaking the kiss. "You're not going to forget about Starlight, are you?" he asked.

"Oh! Uhm..." She took a second to think about what she was going to do with Starlight. "Gimme about twenty minutes? I'll whip over to my house, make her a quick dinner, give her a bucket of hot water so she can clean herself then come right back over!"

"OR, or," Party favour interjected, "I can help you so we can hurry back here in half the time!" he suggested.

Sugar Belle scrambled to get off of the stallion underneath her as she said; "Good idea! I'll get the dinner and you get the water ready!"

Almost too eagerly, Sugar Belle darted out the door and to her house, leaving Party Favour on the floor, momentarily cock-blocked by their former dictator. Nonetheless, he just laughed to himself and began to look for a big enough bucket and a washcloth.

A few minutes later, with a bucket full of hot water, soap and a cloth already in the bucket, he started to make his way to Sugar Belle's house. He knocked a few times, Sugar Belle rushing to answer the door.

"Gimme a  minute!" she blurted, hurrying back into the kitchen.

"What're you making her?" Party Favour asked.

"Just a few leftovers. If I'd not had them by tomorrow I was going to throw them away, so no wastage." She finished getting everything together, stacking the small containers in the middle of a cloth which she then tied to hold them together. "Right, let's hurry up and take this over so we can go back to your place," Sugar Belle finished with a lewd grin.

"Got the key? Party Favour asked.

"Oh! Uhh, lemme just..." She quickly bolted off to her room to fetch the key, returning moments later. "Now I do!" she sheepishly said, tucking it into the parcel.

"Heh, forgetful much," Party Favour joked.

"Oh hush, you!" Sugar Belle jokingly chastised. The two shared a giggle before Sugar Belle closed the front door. Party Favour picked up the bucket of steaming water, and with Sugar Belle next to him, both made their way to the re-education room.

It took a bit to get there, what with their hushed cooing to one another and all. Had they been professional and gone straight there, it'd've merely taken a few minutes.

Sugar Belle slid out the key from the food parcel and unlocked the door, entering with Party Favour following behind. He put the bucket of water on the floor just inside of the door, and Starlight looked from him, then to the hot water with a slight amount of pained desire as Sugar Belle put the food on top of the book case. She clearly needed a wash; two days without while being locked in a square room made the noses of Party Favour and Sugar Belle curl slightly. They just huffed in an attempt to clear the stale musk from their noses, which made Starlight grumble with frustration.

"Are you going to wash me?" Starlight asked with disdain.

"Uh, no? Why, do you want to be fed too?" Party Favour asked with a giggle. "Can't you feed yourself properly without magic?" he finished contemptuously, followed by the corner of his mouth curling in a grin.

"I can eat just fine," Starlight shot back. "Are you here to torment me some more like the others have?"

"Why, what did Night Glider and Double Diamond do?" Sugar Belle asked.

Starlight's breath hitched as she broke out with a blush of embarrassment, turning her head away and keeping her rear legs pressed tightly together. She said under her breath; "Hurry up and leave. The sooner I get out of here, the better."

"Oh, we don't plan on staying any longer than necessary; we just came to give you some food to eat, and some water to wash with. Night Glider mentioned you were pretty ripe," Party Favour said while waving his hoof in front of his nose, "But I didn't expect it to be this bad!"

"When you've only got a bucket to 'go' in, and you haven't had a shower in three days, what the hay do you expect!?" Starlight screamed. "Now leave!"

"Somepony's cranky," Sugar Belle said. "Can't you alleviate stress now that you're locked in here without your silicon stash?"

Starlight shot a bewildered glare at Sugar Belle as Party Favour looked at her with confusion.

"What?" she said to them both. Her gaze turned to Starlight. "Night Glider picked them from your drawer and handed them out to a few of the mares that needed them. Did you honestly think everypony was thick enough to know that, while you kept us writhing through our heat cycles, you had no way of alleviating yours?"

Party Favour didn't look to pleased to hear his marefriend say that. "Helloooo," he began. "If you needed help with that, then you could have just asked me!"

"Don't worry, sweetie, that was just the one night. Now we get to go back to yours and rut each other silly!"

Starlight gave a disgusted groan at that. "Go back home if you wanna do that, then!" she barked. "Just leave me out of it."

"Awww," Party Favour taunted, "I thought it would be fun for you to watch!"

"Not interested. I just want to eat and wash without you two holding it over me."

"You should really be more polite than that," Sugar Belle playfully chastised. "Party Favour has got quite the spanking hoof," she said, turning to gaze lewdly at Party Favour. "It always turns me into a good girl."

"Would you please just stop taunting me already!"

"You're no fun, Ms. Cranky," Party Favour said. He turned to Sugar Belle and playfully hip-checked her. "Let's go home. Although, I do wish we could show her what she's been missing out on."

Sugar Belle's eyes widened when he said that. She promptly stopped him just shy of the door and began whispering into Party Favour's ear. Almost instantly, his eyes widened, and his sheath began to twitch with anticipation.

"You want to what!?" he gasped. He turned to look at Starlight, hiding his semi from her with his upper thigh.

"And if she doesn't behave, she doesn't get the water!"

"What are you two talking about?" Starlight tentatively demanded.

Party Favour's grin stretched ear to ear. Sugar Belle Locked the door, Starlight's gut dropped, and then Sugar Belle spoke. "Here's the deal."

'Oh no...' Starlight thought.

"We're going to rut each other silly. If you don't behave like a good girl, we take the bucket of water away. That simple."

"What are you still doing here, then? Go home and get it over with!"

Party Favour and Sugar Belle shared knowing grins with each other.

"...Are you?" Starlight asked sheepishly, shrinking back onto the bed. It was in that instant she realised they had no intention of going home.

In that instant, Party Favour and Sugar Belle's lips met in a passionate embrace as they wrapped their forehooves around each other and fell to the floor with a thud, much to the surprise and chagrin of their former dictator.

The room was filled with the hot and heavy pants as the duo made out in front of Starlight with all due haste, their hooves roaming all over each other's bodies. Party Favour gave Sugar Belle's flank a sharp smack, earning a small squeak from her. She pulled back from the kiss and smiled lustfully at him. She ground her hips against Party Favour's, groaning with delight as his now hardened cock slid up and down her moistening slit.

"Oohhh yesssss," Sugar Belle moaned. She looked over at Starlight, who watched on with her mouth hung agape. Sugar Belle noticed this and said; "You'd better keep that closed or we'll to put it to use. Meanwhile, enjoy the show."

Party Favour put a hoof around Sugar Belle's back, and in one fluid motion, rolled until she was underneath, half pinned underneath the stallion above. "Mmmmm, I love it when you take charge," she cooed.

Without saying a word, Party favour rubbed his cock up and down Sugar Belle's engorged pussy some more. His medial ring rubbed over her winking clit with each stroke, his balls  slapping against her inner thighs.

Sugar Belle was beginning to ache for her release, biting her lower lip as she whimpered from Party Favour's teasing while her arousal began to coat his stallionhood.

"O-oh, b-uck," Sugar Belle moaned. She felt her muscles tighten at the feeling of her orgasm beginning to approach.

Party Favour noticed this and began to slow down. He lowered the head of his member to his marefriend's arousal, teasing it a bit more by pressing the head in and sliding it up and down, not quite putting it inside. In return, he got a frustrated grunt as Sugar Belle clenched her teeth with anticipation.

"Oh please just stick it in me," she begged through her laboured breathing.

"Ah ah ah," he playfully chastised, "not just yet."

"Oh come on!" Sugar Belle exclaimed. "It's been years since either of us have gotten any, so why are you taking so long?"

"It's been years since I've been able to tease a mare until she becomes pliable putty in my hooves," Party Favour replied, his voice taking on a slightly more commanding tone. He proceeded to light his horn, enveloping both of Sugar Belle's teats with magic. As she was processing what he was doing, electrical sensations jolted from her nethers. Her hips bucked and her back arched as her eyes widened with surprise. Her rear legs scraped against the wood as the pleasure wracked her body, trying to gain some sort of footing.

After several seconds of this, Party Favour dropped the spell and looked down at Sugar Belle, whose expression told him all he wanted to know. "A little vibrating spell I learned," he explained, cutting off Sugar Belle before she could say anything. "And now..." His gaze went even lower, his horn lighting again.

In her pleasure-addled mind, it look longer than it otherwise should've for Sugar Belle to work out what he was doing. "Wai—!" she began, but was cut off as Party Favour enveloped her clit with magic. From her highly aroused state, and in response to have her clit tortured with the vibration spell, she came. Hard. She squirted several spurts of marecum, landing all over Party Favour's pulsing dick and waiting-to-be-emptied balls.

He intensified the vibrations as Sugar Belle's moaning devolved to short, pleasure-filled squeaks while the entire bottom half of her torso began convulsing from over-stimulation . She bit her hoof to try and stifle herself to keep the others from hearing, but it mattered not if someone found them like this. They'd probably find it laughably hilarious that two ponies were rutting themselves silly in front of Starlight.

Party Favour dropped the spell and Sugar Belle instantly relaxed, huffing with orgasmic exhaustion. He was just exacerbating her condition to the point where she would submit to him.

"Are you done yet!?"

Instead of answering, Party Favour half-ignored Sugar Belle,  instead opting to pull back slightly so he could lower his head to between her thighs. He took a deep breath, inhaling the scent from her glistening marehood. From all the baking she'd been cooking, and eating, all the sugar had slightly sweetened her arousal. The same could be said for Party Favour and, depending on where Sugar Belle would want it, she could find out just how sweet it could be.

Several months ago, one stallion began to panic because his cum was somehow tinted a light, pinkish. He was forced to confess to Starlight and was dealt with for not asking permission to clop himself. It turns out that he was eating more than his fair share of beetroot which caused the colour change, which he was also punished for.

Party Favour  took a long, sensual lick of Sugar Belle's dripping nethers, savouring it as he went. His tongue caressed her folds, flicking them every which way. Sugar Belle's moans returned to more pleasured, softer moans, though just by her body language Party Favour could tell she was waiting for the finale. She was thoroughly enjoying the service her lips was getting, although such stimulation could only go so far before she began to get impatient, and it was this that Party Favour was counting on.

"Please..." Sugar Belle managed moan out.

At this point, Party Favour wanted to see how far he could stretch both her patience and limits.

"O-oh by C-Celestia," Sugar Belle half moaned, half pleaded. "Please, Just fuck me already..."

His lips completely locked around her pussy to form an almost air-tight seal. Instead of lapping up her honey, he began to suck, trying to draw out another orgasm, however small. He was unsuccessful, as his marefriend's body had grown accustomed to his teasing, and only stepping it up would elicit the desired reaction. Her body did arch, but nowhere near as much as his vibration spell had done earlier.

Party Favour glanced over his shoulder to look at Starlight. Sugar Belle took notice of Party Favour and did so too. She was on her side, back facing towards them, pillow wrapped around the back of her head as her foreleg sandwiched the pillow on her ears. They both giggle-snorted, then an idea struck Party Favour. On the off chance Starlight would hear, he opted to whisper in Sugar Belle's ear.

Her eyes went wide, a wide grin forming on her face as she simply nodded.

"Now," Sugar Belle began, "mount me and make me feel like a real mare..."

He answered her with a simple, firm; "No."

"What!?" she exclaimed. "Why not?!"

"Because," he started, leaning down to her ear again, his voice adopting a more commanding, lust-filled tone, "I want to hear you beg for it."

Sugar Belle knew he was serious, and she'd only get what she wanted if she complied like a good mare would.

"I... Please fill me up with your stallionhood, pump me full of your seed, claim me as your own." As Sugar Belle continued, she was just making herself increasingly horny from her pleas. She'd need to be careful, though, because if she told the stallion to do something in particular, she damn well knew he'd do it.

"I feel so dirty," she squeaked. Her hoof trailed down to between her legs, intent of rubbing her clit while she sensually demeaned herself for the entertainment of her dominator. However, before she could get close, Party Favour swatted it away giving her a disapproving scowl, accompanied by three 'tsk's and a wave of his hoof.

She meekly whined in response, shuffling in place in her aroused state. She was so desperate to be full with Party Favour's length that it was driving her crazy. She'd say almost anything to get him to fuck her!

Meanwhile, Party Favor was rubbing the head of his cock up and down Sugar Belle's hot, engorged nethers, pecking and licking at her neck while holding her spare hoof to the side. He was just waiting for Sugar Belle to say the right thing. Toying with her lust-addled mind was incredibly fun, watching and listening to see how far she'd go.

Sugar Belle was through with Party Favour's teasing. She pushed him not completely off her, but far enough so she could stare into the stallion's eyes. Bloodshot they were from all the extra blood pumping through her, her heart running a mile a minute from the lust coursing through her.

"Fuck me!" she demanded through gritted teeth. "Spank me, rut me into the floor, empty your balls into me, and make me your slut!"

Party Favour grinned, hearing exactly what he wanted to. With a hard, sharp thrust, he buried his shaft into Sugar Belle right up to his medial ring in one motion. The sudden rush of pleasure hit Sugar Belle in all the right spots. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, back arching as her hooves pawed at the floor. She came, her ograsm wracking her entire body, her muscles clenching around Party Favour's thickness.

It lasted several seconds as her body acclimated to the sudden intrusion. Her once well-kept mane, tail, and coat was now an unkempt mess of hair and fur, matted slightly from all the sweat from the heat the couple's bodies were producing. Party Favour was no exception. His mane hung down around his head, framing his face just right for Sugar Belle to gaze up into, the sweat on his body making him glisten as the sun shone down on him through the windows.

Sugar Belle recovered momentarily, her eyes dreamily travelling towards Party Favour's. He gave another thrust, eliciting a squeaky moan from his marefriend as he slid his medial ring inside her. From thereon, he slowly pushed the rest of his length in, filling Sugar Belle's pussy with his throbbing meat. He bottomed out, pausing to exhale a breath he didn't realise he was holding. It was official, Sugar Belle was now putty in his hooves.

He hooked his forehooves under her own, holding her by the shoulders, kneeling between her legs as he took up a better position. He slowly pulled his girth from her, the schlicking from Sugar Belle's soaked pussy tickling their ears.

Party favour began thrusting half his shaft in-and-out of Sugar Belle, stopping just shy of his medial ring, building a steady rhythm. Sugar Belle's tongue lolled out of her mouth as she huffed with gratification at the dicking she was getting. Party Favour rose his hoof, bringing it over Sugar Belle's flank again. She squeaked both in surprise and pleasure, her eyes lazily looking up and down Party Favour.

"Again!" she demanded, "spank me like a naughty little mare!" Party Favour relented and gave into her request, pausing mid stroke to sharply—albeit pleasurably—spank his marefriend. "Oohhh I'm getting close," Sugar Belle moaned, her voice thick with lust.

Party Favour leaned back slightly, resting his bodyweight on his rear legs and gripping Sugar Belle's thighs. "Where—" he sharply thrust to just shy of his medial ring "—do—" he thrust again, his cock ring sharply brushing Sugar Belle's clit "—want it?!"

Still buried in her, a sharp knock came from the door. "Oi! What's going on in there!?"

"Get lost, I'm getting laid!" Party Favour replied ever so eloquently. It wasn't in his nature to be so crass, but he was giving his marefriend a good pounding and he was getting interrupted! Even still, someone was bound to hear them sooner or later.

"With Starlight!?" the voice exclaimed.

"No, with Sugar Belle, in front of Starlight!" he retorted.

"Ha-hah! I gotta do that!"

Completely ignoring any further conversation, Party Favour turned his attention to the task at hand. "Now, where were we?" Party Favour asked the mare underneath through exacerbated breaths.

Sugar Belle, beyond rational thought at this stage due to her ludicrously inflated sex drive, grabbed Party Favour's mane to pull him closer to her. "Cum in me you sunnova bitch, I wanna feel your hot load fill me to the brim!"

Giving her a knowing wink, Party Favour pulled out and stood on his hind legs as best he could, then he picked Sugar Belle up, his cock pointing sky high as she spread her legs. With her forelegs wrapped around his neck for support, gravity took over and she sank onto Party Favour's rod. She bit her lip as it went in. She could feel all the bumps, ridges, and veins from her tightness clamping down around the cock, getting ready to milk it of it's seed.

Then, Party Favour stumbled forward towards Starlight carrying Sugar Belle, unceremoniously plonking his marefriend onto Starlight's back.

Starlight squeaked with surprise at the sudden weight on her back, but the duo on top paid her no mind; this was part of their plan.

"What are you doing!?" she wailed. "Get off of me!"

"Do it!" Sugar belle panted.

Party Favour steeled himself so he wouldn't lose his balance, at the same time holding Sugar Belle on top of the writhing Starlight as he began thrusting deeply into Sugar Belle's thoroughly soaked marehood.

"Do what!? Starlight wailed. She tried shoving off the offending couple, but fell onto the floor underneath the duo with an oof and a dull thud. "Ow-how..." she whined.

"I'm cumming!" Sugar Belle screeched.
"Wha-? No... No no no!" It dawned on Starlight what they were going to do. On top of her.

"Me too!" Patry favour added.

With a final, deep thrust, Party Favour drove himself as far as he could go, emptying his balls within Sugar Belle as she threw her head back in ecstacy as her own orgasm hit, wracking her body with trembling pleasure, her pussy clamping down on Party Favour's throbbing dick to milk him for all his worth. Sugar Belle came at the same time, releasing a volley of her own juices.

Then there was Starlight.

"Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew! Get off me!"

A mixture of Sugar Belle and Party Favour's juices were making their way out of Sugar Belle, working the way onto the mare pinned beneath them.

Party Favour and Sugar Belle took a moment to bask in their post-sex glow, looking down at Starlight with thoroughly satasfied expressions and an amused look. The stallion began to slowly pull his still-throbbing shaft out of his marefriend. Once free, the glistening tool bobbed this way and that, hitting Starlight a couple times.

She glared poisonous daggers at the pair, and once she felt their position on top of her lighten, sprang up and tackled Sugar Belle. Almost immediately, Party Favour Pulled Starlight away and body-slammed her onto the floor. Starlight began breathing heavily with rage.

"Y'know," Party Favour began, "we can easily tell the guards to pass on that you tried to ambush my marefriend to escape. You sure you want that?" Starlight just growled under her breath. Her breathing began to increase. "But, we're not. And I know what you're thinking; you're going to spill the beans about what happened. Look at it this way. Who're they going to believe: us, or a purveyor of dark magic?"

"I gave you everything!" she growled between gritted teeth.

"No, you took everything!" he almost shouted.

He got up off of her, and Starlight stood bolt-upright. Almost immediately she collapsed onto the floor.

"What happened to her!?" Sugar Belle exclaimed.

"I thought that would happen. Stood up too fast and passed out; simple as that. Now, lets get out of here. Leave her the food and water. She needs it."

Party Favour and Sugar Belle quickly cleaned themselves up and left, double checking to lock the door behind them.

Once out, they earned several sideways glances, accompanied by winks and snickers. Apparently the stallion that had interrupted their session had passed around what they were up to. It mattered not; the guards would hopefully arrive at the town tomorrow at the earliest.
