> Verus Amor > by clonedbrony2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- One tiny ray of sunlight made its way through the small gap in the curtains, landing on the eyes of Ponyville's fashionista. She groaned, rolling away from the light so she could return to her slumb- *Beep-Beep-Beep* *Beep-Beep-Beep* *Beep-Beep-Beep* A white hand landed on the the alarm clock, silencing that dreadful noise. Why had she set the alarm yesterday? Today was Sunday, meaning that there was no need for her to get up early to open the shop. She could just stay here in this comfortable piece of heaven for a bit longer, maybe an hour or- ‘Oh, right.’ Rarity thought, remembering why she had set the alarm last night. She was supposed to help Twilight rearrange her personal library at the castle. A chore that was usually done between the princess and her assistant, but said assistant was currently traveling around the world. Rarity sat on the bed and covered her mouth with a hand as a yawn escaped her lips. She was always happy to help, but a tiny part of her regretted having made the offer. She just wanted to sleep some more. ‘Ugh, why do I feel so sleepy? It’s not like I was up till late.’ No, those days of arriving home late had stopped a long time ago. The last time had been after a date. Actually, that had also been her last date. It has been so long since she had gone out with someone, so long since her last romantic outing. Had she at some point just stopped caring about finding her special somepony? Of course not, but she just couldn’t find him no matter how much she tried. Rarity sighed. ‘I don’t need that kind of thoughts this early in the morning.’ Rarity pushed the blanket away and walked to the bathroom. She gave herself a quick look over on the mirror, her mane was a mess, that was always the case each morning, but nothing that a shower, a brush and a bit of magic couldn’t fix. Rarity stripped out from her nightgown and her panties before getting inside the shower. Cold water quickly covered Rarity’s body, and the unicorn took a few seconds to get used to the temperature of it before starting cleaning her body. As she took the soap bar and began to rub it over her ample bosom, her thoughts went back in time to her last date. Quick Runner. He brought honor to his name, as he was quite the athletic stallion. He had also been an splendid gentlecolt. To make things even better, he was also an avid reader. He had the whole package, and with that she meant the whole package. Rarity could feel marehood heating up as images of a passionate night filled her head, how that well endowed stallion filled her to the last inch. Leaving the soap bar back on its place, the pristine mare placed both hands on her breast, her nipple already rigid from the cold water began to turn sensitive under her light touches. Her right hand moved slowly to her heating core. She moaned as her fingertip made contact with her clitoris. It had been months since she had been intimate with anyone. She would love for nothing but take this moment to slowly, but steadily, bring herself to orgasm, she wanted to take her time and  fully enjoy it, but alas, she had to get ready and go help Twilight. Rarity leaned against the wall of the shower and brought her hand to her mouth, coating her middle and ring finger with saliva, then lowered it again to insert both fingers into her marehood. She pushed them as deep as she could while she used her other hand to bring one of her nipples to her mouth. She licked the nipple before surrounding it with her lips, gently sucking on to it as she hastened her ministration on her pussy. She could feel her orgasm building up, with each thrust of her fingers she could feel herself getting closer. Rarity grunted, moving her hand as fast as she could, just a little more and… “Ugh.” Rarity grunted as she reached her climax. It had been nothing compared to what she could have done if she had had a few more minutes to spare, but it had been good enough. ‘Not good enough as that night with Quick Runner.’ Rarity sighed. That stallion had certainly been an incredible specimen, but there had been something inside Rarity that told her he wasn’t the one. Just like any of her previous coltfriends hadn’t been the one.  Maybe she was destined to be a lonely cat lady. She already had Opal, who knew how much time it would take for there to be two, or seven, more cats. With her gloomy thoughts keeping her company, Rarity proceeded to finish her shower. It took Rarity several minutes, but with her mane now perfectly styled, she left the bathroom and walked to her changing room. The room was almost as big as the bedroom. It had to be that big to be able to keep every single cloth and dress that Rarity owned. Rarity let go of the towel that covered her body and moved to where she kept her underwear. Rarity decided not to wear anything fancy, keep it simple, white panties and bra. She selected a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, those would be appropriate for the work she would be doing. Now fully clothed, Rarity left her room and went down the stairs. She walked to the kitchen, planning to have a simple breakfast before heading out. Getting closer, Rarity could hear her little sister singing and a smile popped on her face. Silently, she stood at the kitchen’s entrance and observed her sister, who was standing behind the stove, still wearing her pyjama. She was rhythmically moving her hips from side to side, her tail gracefully swishing behind her. Rarity enjoyed so much watching her sister at moments like this, it just made her happy. “Good morning, Sweetie.” Sweetie paused and flashed a smile as she looked back at Rarity. “Good morning, Sis!” Sweetie Belle greeted cheerfully. She turned around and poured the hot beverage she had been preparing in two mugs. Rarity then noticed that two plates with what seemed to be pancakes were already set on the table, causing her smile to disappear. “Oh, Sweetie, I see that you… prepared breakfast.” Rarity said with apprehension. She watched as Sweetie set the mugs on the table before walking closer to give Rarity a hug. “You shouldn’t have bothered. If you had waited a bit more I could have done it.” She said, returning the hug. “It wasn’t a bother at all, Sis. I got up early and felt hungry for pancakes. I thought that it would be nice to make some extra for you. I certainly hope it tastes good.” She said as she pulled away and moved to her place on the table. ‘I hope so too.’ Rarity sat at the table, eyeing her pancakes suspiciously. Sweetie Belle had been living full time with her for a little over a year now, and she had managed to keep her away from the kitchen. After That first week when Sweetie Belle first moved here, it had been clear to Rarity that her sister and cooking just didn’t mix well. Rarity looked up at her sister ho as looking back with a big, expectating, smile. Rarity gave an awkward smile before returning her gaze to her food. It looked edible. With a bit of trepidation, she cut a piece and brought it to her mouth, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. ‘Please be edible, please be edible.’ Rarity’s eyes widened. “Oh Celestia! Sweetie, this is delicious!” Sweetie’s smile became even bigger at that. “Really?” Rarity took another bite, humming in delight. How could pancakes taste this good? “Really, but… When did you learn to cook like this? I… I haven’t seen you get close to the kitchen in a long time.” Sweetie’s smile became sheepish. “Actually, I have been practicing cooking for some time now. I asked for Applejack’s help and she has been teaching me all kind of things, not just pancakes. I’m twenty years old now, I had to learn to cook, and I… I wanted to surprise you.” “Oh, Sweetie.” Rarity stood and walked to her little sister, pulling her in a hug and kissing her on the cheek. “This is such a magnificent surprise, thank you.” Sweetie blushed. She returned her attention to her plate, as did Rarity. When both sisters finished their breakfast, Rarity stood, moving her hand to grab the plates for clean-up, but Sweetie Belle grabbed the dirty dishes with her magic before she could. “I’ll do it.” Sweetie said as she moved to the sink. “Sweetie, you made this wonderful breakfast, I believe I should handle the clean-up.” “No, no, it’s okay. You have to go and help Twilight, right? I think you’re running late for that.” “Oh my.” Rarity looked at the hour on the microwave. “You are right.” She walked to Sweetie, placing a gentle peck on her cheek. “Thank you again. Good bye.” “Bye Sis! Have a nice day. I’ll have lunch ready for when you return.” Sweetie replied cheerfully. Rarity left the boutique with a smile and headed straight for Twilight’s castle. It was located at the other side of the town. She didn’t run, but she walked faster than usual, after all she didn’t really want to get to there all sweaty. As Rarity walked through the streets, she noticed that heads turned to look in her direction. Rarity smiled, it was good to know that even if she was currently wearing plain clothes, she still had enough charm to get the attention of the stallions… and a few mares, by what she saw. It took Rarity five more minutes to reach the castle. Twilight was most likely already working on rearranging the library, and without Spike, there wouldn’t be anyone answering the door if she called, so she decided to just let herself in. With her magic, Rarity opened the doors, revealing a large hallway. Ponies would normally gawk in awe to the impressive interior of the castle, but Rarity didn’t, as she was already used to it. She closed the doors and walked to the stairway at the end of the hall, moving up to the second floor, where the library as located. On the second floor, Rarity could hear the distinct voice of Twilight Sparkle coming from an open door to her right. “Talking to yourself again, dear?” Rarity said as she entered the library. She found the alicorn sitting on the middle of the room, on the floor, flipping through the pages of a book. Several other books were lying on piles around the unicorn. “Hmm? Sure, tea would be nice.” Twilight answered, not bothering to look up from the book. Rarity pursed her lips. Twilight was lost to this world. She walked over, placing a hand on Twilight’s shoulder and gently shook it. “Twilight.” “Huh?” Twilight looked up to Rarity. “Oh, hey, Rarity. When did you get here?” “Actually, I just arrived. I see that you have been busy,” Rarity said, looking at the books scattered around. Twilight smiled sheepishly. “I was in the middle of rearranging the books, I wanted to get a head start before you arrived, but I didn’t do much. I got distracted with this one,” Twilight said, lifting the book she had been reading for Rarity to see. “It’s really fascinating. it mentions about a thousand spells that ponies stopped using for one reason or another. The most ancient spell the book has is from about two thousands years ago. It was a spell that helped ponies ignite objects. Unicorns stopped using it because they found a more efficient spell to do so. It also has-” “Twilight, dear,” Rarity interrupted Twilight’s rambling. “I would definitely love to hear more about that book, but I think the best would be to first organize this place.” “Oh, right, right. It’s just that I found that book so fascinating, but you’re right.” Rarity nodded, her horn sparkled as she began to cast a levitation spell. “No, Rarity, stop!” Rarity stopped her spell and looked at Twilight. “What’s wrong, Twilight?” “Please, don’t use your magic. A lot of these books are too old, getting in contact with magic could damage the pages.” “Oh, I’m sorry darling, I had no idea.” She said, looking apologetic. “It’s no problem, at least I warned you before anything happened.” “Yes, I wouldn’t want to damage any of your books.” Rarity picked a few of the books from the ground. “Without magic this will take us longer than I expected.” “That’s precisely why I asked for your help. Could you imagine how much time it would take me to organize this place by myself?” “Honestly, I think you would never finish. You would get distracted with a different book every fifteen minutes.” “Hey!” Twilight laughed. “You are probably right.” It had taken them about an hour and a half to finish rearranging the library. They moved to the third floor where Rarity sat on a table as she waited for Twilight. “Here.” Twilight said as she offered Rarity a cup of tea. “Thank you for helping me sort the library.” “I wasn’t much, darling. You know you can ask for my help whenever you need it,” Rarity said before taking sip of her tea. “Mmm, darling, this tea is fantastic.” “It’s the only thing I know how to make. I would have offered you cookies to accompany it, but I don’t think you would like the taste of coal.” Rarity laughed. “Oh, darling. How ever do you manage to feed yourself without Spike here?” Twilight blushed. “He kind of left all of my meals in the fridge. I only have to heat them.” “Oh Celestia!” Rarity laughed quite unladylike, causing Twilight’s blush to deepen. “Darling, I’m so sorry, but it’s just... *Haha* Oh Celestia, if Rainbow Dash found out about this-” “That’s why you won’t tell anyone!” Twilight said as she fixed a glare on Rarity. Rarity’s laugh died out immediately. “Of course, Twilight. I won’t say a word.” Twilight kept her glare on Rarity for a few seconds before sighing. “Sorry. I over reacted.” “No, darling, it’s okay. I shouldn’t have laughed like that. It’s just that.... If you drop information like that on me…” “Yes, I know. But still, I’m sorry.” “It’s alright, darling, let’s just move on to another topic… What about Spike? How has he fared in his journey? Has he send you any letters recently?” “Oh, yes.” Twilight started, a smile popping on her face. “I received a letter from him yesterday. The places he talks about, it’s amazing where he has been. I hope he brings me books from those places when he returns home next week.” “Oh! Is Spiky returning next week?” “Yes. After a month of being away he is finally returning home.” Twilight’s smile grew bigger. “Just one week more and I will eat fresh food again.” “That’s fantastic dear.” Rarity said, taking another sip from her tea. Looking around, Rarity noticed that Twilight had a book right next to her. “Is that the one you were reading earlier?” “Oh, yes, I still haven’t finishing reading it so I brought it with me.” “Hmmm. So, darling, what kind of spells are in there?” “All kind of spells!” Twilight exclaimed excitedly. “Most of them are spells that got replaced by others more efficient, but it’s really exciting to read about those.” Rarity arched her brow. “It is? Why?” “Well, it’s like a window to the way unicorns thought. By reading the steps to cast a spell, and what it is supposed to do, one can understand why they would come up to do it that way. But some of them also make me laugh. There is a spell that helps that says you have to jump three times and scream Princess Celestia’s name before casting an illumination spell.” “And it works?” “Sure it does. I tried it myself. I was casting a few of the spells in here before you arrived.” “I would have loved to see that.” Rarity said with a laugh. “Any other spells, or it only has the ones that are outdated?” “No, no. Most of them are outdated, but this also contains spells that have been banned. Some were banned because of negative side effects, but there are also others that were banned because they were extremely dangerous.” “Oh, my. Is it safe for a book like that to exist? What if some dangerous pony gets its hands in a copy.” “No, that couldn’t happen. This is the only copy there is, it belongs to Princess Celestia, but she lent it to me. I will keep it under a protection spell. And besides, it would be very hard for just any pony to read it. It isn’t written in Equestrian, it is written in Neightin.” Twilight handed the book for Rarity to see. Twilight was right, there were a few words that she could probably figure the meaning as they sounded familiar to others in the Equestrian vocabulary, but most of it was gibberish to her. As she flipped through the pages, one of the spells caught her attention. ‘Verus Amor.’ Rarity read. If she was right, ‘amor’ meant love, but she had no idea what verus meant. “Twilight, what is this spell?” Rarity asked, pointing at the name at the top of the page. “Verus Amor. That means True Love. It’s a spell to find a ponies true love, their soul mate.” Rarity’s eyes widened. ‘Find true love?’ Could this spell help her find her special somepony? Help her find her prince charming? But this was a spell that had been banned. Maybe it had some dangerous side effect. “So what problem does this spell have?” “Let me see.” Twilight grabbed the book back and began reading. “Apparently none, it works perfectly and without side effects.” Rarity cocked her head. “If it works perfectly, then why was it banned?” Twilight rubbed her chin. “Well, it seems that the spell perse is perfectly fine, but it caused some problems.” “How can a spell that helps you find your true love cause problems?” ‘I just can’t see how it could cause problems. She just said that it works perfectly.’  “Well, it seems that it didn’t cause problems to the ponies that found their perfect match, but to the ones that didn’t.” “What? But isn’t that spell supposed to find one's true love?” Twilight shook her head. “Sorry, that was a bit of a mistake from my part. This spell doesn’t tell you where your true love is. It works more like a detector.” Twilight read a bit more of what the spell notes said. “About twelve centuries ago, a unicorn developed this spell. He had this thought. Throughout life, a pony crosses paths with many others, one of those ponies might be your true love, but you won’t know it, and your paths may never cross again.” Twilight paused and read a bit more of the notes. “This spell seems to work way too perfectly. It will identify the pony that is a hundred percent perfect match for the one using this spell. But the thing is that that pony could be anywhere around the world. It seems that the ratio of ponies that were capable of finding their true love was approximately of one every one hundred sixty eight ponies. “The ones that found their true love lived happily together. Some of the ponies that didn’t find their true love forgot about the spell and married other ponies.” Twilight stopped and furrowed her brow. “But a lot of the ponies that couldn’t find their soul mates suffered of severe depression, thinking that there was true love for them, they didn’t even try to find somepony else. There are also cases where an already married pony would abandon his current family after finding his true love.” Rarity covered her mouth. “Oh my.” “For those reasons, this spell was banned nine centuries ago.” Rarity remained silent for a while, her eyes focused on her empty cup of tea. She looked up. “Twilight, could you cast that spell on me?” “What? Didn’t you hear what I just read? Ponies suffered severe depression.” “I heard perfectly, darling, but I also heard that a few ponies found their true love and lived happily. I… look, Twilight, I won’t let that spell control my life. I will keep going as if that spell doesn’t even exist. Not all the ponies that didn’t found their love suffered of depression. You said it yourself, they moved on. And, if for some reason I don’t find my true love, I will have my friends there to cheer me up, right?” “Of course we will, but… Are you sure?” “I’m sure,” Rarity said with confidence. “This spell can find the perfect match, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t find happiness with other ponies. Whoever I choose to live the rest of my life with will turn to be my true love, even if the spell doesn’t agree.” Twilight looked unsure for a second before nodding. “Very well, Rarity. I will cast the spell, but promise me that you will do what you say, that you won’t let the spell control your life.” Rarity stood from her place, walked over to Twilight and took her hands between her own. “I promise you, Twilight Sparkle, that I won’t let that happen.” She said as she looked into Twilight’s eyes. “Good. Then let’s do this. Take a few steps back.” Rarity did as she was told, feeling excited. Twilight’s horn brightened, she said something that Rarity didn’t understood before losing her gathered magic. Rarity could feel the magic surrounded her, how it danced across her skin, how it… disappeared? Rarity opened her eyes and looked down at herself. She couldn’t feel anything different in her. “Did… Did it work?” “Of course… I guess. I cast it just as the notes specified.” Twilight looked back at the book. "Here, it says it's a dormant spell, so it won't react unless you meet your true love." “Alright, then how will I know when I find my true love?” “This here will tell you.” Twilight said booping Rarity on the nose. “My nose?” “Yes. The spell is supposed to react once you lay your eyes on your true love. The spell will send a signal to your brain, making you capable of only perceiving one kind of odor.” “And what would it be?” “It varies from pony to pony, but it always is something that is pleasant to the one with the spell. It could smell like honey, or it could smell like a rainy day.” Twilight lifted a brow as she read the book. “One pony could smell dried fish when he was with his loved one.” “Thank Celestia I don’t find the smell of dried fish pleasant.” “Yeah.” Twilight looked at Rarity. “You will only be able to smell that particular scent when you are looking at your true love. You could be standing in a pile of garbage and you wouldn’t notice.” Rarity walked closer to Twilight and sniffed around. “Well, I still smell the scent of tea and dusty books in the air. I like tea, but books aren’t really my thing.” Twilight feigned hurt. “I guess I’m not your true love.” Her expression changed as she laughed and hugged Rarity. “Thank you, Twilight.” “No problem, Rarity. Thank you for coming and helping me with the library.” She pulled away and looked at the hour. “It’s almost lunch hour. Would you like to stay and eat here?” “As much as I would enjoy one of Spike’s frozen meals, I’ll have to say no. I believe Sweetie Belle already cooked something back home.” ‘And I’m anxious to taste it.’ Rarity thought, remembering breakfast. “It’s your loss. Frozen hay burgers are amazing. Sure you don’t want at least to taste one?” “I’m sure, darling.” She said hugging Twilight once more. “Now, if your Highness would excuse me, I have to go home.” Rarity vowed. “Good bye, princess.” Twilight rolled her eyes. “Just get out of here already.” Rarity looked in every direction as she walked back to her home. Each time she looked at a pony she sniffed the air, but there was never a change. The simple odor of the small town remained the same the whole trip back. “Sweetie Belle, I’m back!” Rarity called as she opened the door to the boutique. She didn’t hear an answer so she moved to the kitchen. She found pot with warm tomato soup on the stove, but no traces of her sister. On the table, Rarity found a little note. Hey, Sis. I went out to help Apple Bloom at the farm. I will probably be back around 4 or 5 pm. I already had lunch, but I left some for you. It’s your favorite! I also left some juice in the fridge. Love, Sweetie. Rarity smiled. She left the note there and walked to the stove she served herself some soup. Rarity was so happy to find that just like the breakfast, lunch was also delicious. She would make sure to praise Sweetie Belle's new skill when she returned. After clean-up Rarity moved to her work room, she felt… inspired. She would work on some of her designs. As she worked, Rarity thought of the spell. Being able to find her true love. She would probably have to travel a lot to find it, but that wouldn’t be a problem. There were several beautiful places that she wanted to visit. Prance, if her true love happened to be there, it would be such a great scenary. ‘Remember, Rarity, there are plenty of ponies out there. If you meet a nice pony then you will give him a chance.’ She thought, but deep down, she was sure that she would meet her soulmate, she could feel it. “Rarity, I’m back!” Rarity heard her sister’s voice coming from the first floor. She stopped her sewing machine, removed her red glasses and left the room. “Sweetie Belle.” Rarity said as she reached the first floor, looking at her sister that had plopped on the couch. “How was your day?” “Tiring.” Sweetie said as she stood from the couch to go hug her sister. Rarity hugged back, and couldn’t help but detect the wonderful smell of the perfume Sweetie Belle was wearing. It was a fruity mix of, if she wasn’t wrong, raspberry with pineapple and a pinch of coconut. Quite splendid. “Sweetie, wherever did you find that perfume? It smells divine!” Sweetie Belle pulled away and looked up at Rarity. “What are you talking about? I’m not wearing perfume, and I…” Sweetie Belle took a sniff of herself. “Eww, I need a bath urgently. I’m all sweaty from helping Apple Bloom and Applejack.” Sweetie Belle walked away, leaving a stunned Rarity behind. Her pupils contracted into little dots, her mouth felt dry, her hands trembled. ‘No… no no no.’ > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘It can’t be! For Celestia’s sake, she’s Sweetie Belle, my little sister!’  Rarity starts to feel a bit dizzy. She lifts her trembling hands to her head and moves to the couch where Sweetie had been just seconds ago. ‘It’s impossible, simply ridiculous. It just… it can’t be. She’s my sister! She can’t be my perfect match! My true lov-’ Rarity shook her head. ‘Calm down.’ Rarity took a deep breath, partly to calm down, partly to see if the scent was still present in the room. Rarity couldn’t detect it and she wasn’t sure if that was good or bad. ‘It… it wasn’t the spell, I just... imagined it.’ Rarity looked to the right at picture of Sweetie and her hanging on the wall. ‘Yes, I just imagined it. I’m looking at Sweetie and…’ Her sense of smell was overflowed by the delicious fruity mix of raspberry, pineapple and- “Oh fuck. Oh fuck!” Rarity screamed before getting up up from the couch and running to the kitchen, away from the picture. She noticed the sudden lack of the fruity scent. ‘This is a mistake. Sweetie Belle can’t be my true love. We are sisters! Things like that aren’t supposed to happen between sisters!’ Rarity ran a hand through her mane. ‘This can’t be happening. This can’t be happening.’ Rarity was panicking. She moved to the sink and splashed water on her face. ‘There must be some kind of explanation to this… This is a mistake… yes… Yes! This is a mistake! Twilight casted it wrong! That’s the only logical explanation.’ Rarity let out a nervous, and a bit manic, laugh. ‘Of course she casted it wrong, there is just no way that me and Sweetie- Of course not.’ She shook her head again. ‘Stay calm, Rarity, You shouldn’t freak out.’ She remained still for a few seconds before pulling her hair. ‘How the fuck am I supposed to stay calm when there is a spell inside me that is saying that my sister is my perfect partner in the whole world!’ “Rarity, are you alright?!” Came the voice of Sweetie Belle from the kitchen’s entrance. Rarity turned around, her eyes widening. Sweetie Belle stood there, holding a towel to her chest that wasn’t really covering much, allowing Rarity to get an eyeful of her body. “Sweetie Belle, cover yourself!” Rarity exclaimed, looking away from her sister. “Sorry!” Sweetie said, her face gaining a tint of red. She draped the towel around her body, just barely managing to cover from her bust to her upper thigh. “Why are you walking naked around the house?” Rarity asked, suddenly realizing that there was a stronger scent of the fruity mix on the air. ‘I don’t need this right now. I really don’t need this right now!’ “I-I was about to get into the bath when I heard you screaming. Is everything alright?” “Y-yes darling, everything is fine.” “You sure? You don’t swear unless it’s something extremely serious.” Sweetie Belle was right. Rarity was a lady, and ladies didn’t use such crude vocabulary. “E-everything is fine, Sweetie. I just… I forgot I had something important that I had to discuss with Twilight.” Sweetie looked at her with a raised brow. She opened her mouth to ask something else but Rarity interrupted her. “So I-I’m going out again. I’ll return in an hour or so. Bye, Sweetie Belle.” Rarity moved out of the kitchen, not daring to look at Sweetie as she walked next to her and went to the door. “O-Okay… Then I’ll have the dinner ready for you when-” The door slams shuts before Sweetie Belle could finish. “... Bye.” She muttered. Rarity ran all the way to the castle, she didn’t care at all about getting all sweaty, there were more serious problems than that. ‘The spell is wrong. Twilight has to fix it! There’s no way that Sweetie Belle is my true love! I just have to tell Twilight that…’ Rarity slowed her pace, a few more steps until she finally halted. ‘What am I going to tell her?’ Tell her friend that the spell had reacted to her sister… How would Twilight react to that? What if she didn’t let her explain? Rarity’s heart dropped at the thought of her friend reacting with disgust, but she shook her head. No, Twilight doesn’t have any reason to act like that when the spell wasn’t even acting correctly, there was just no way that it was. Rarity didn’t really want to hear the little voice in her head. The one that was telling her that Twilight is the most adept magic user she knew. The voice that was telling her that Twilight would never cast wrongly a spell. The voice that was telling her that the spell maybe, just maybe, was right. ‘No! The spell is wrong. It… It has to be.’ Rarity thought. Yet, what would happen if she went to Twilight, asking her to fix the spell, and she couldn’t find anything wrong with it? Twilight would be curious about the spell. And she, being a pony in constant search for knowledge, would surely want to document this spell. She couldn’t let a chance like this slip through her hands, after all, it’s been centuries since somepony last used it. Twilight would ask about the pony to whom it reacted. No, Rarity wouldn’t tell her, she wouldn’t tell her anything. She wouldn’t say to whom it reacted, or that it even reacted in the first place. This wasn’t something she wanted to talk with anyone, this was something she wanted had never happened. Then again, if she didn’t tell Twilight, how could she fix this? ‘I will ask her to dispel it. Remove the spell and continue my life normally, like nothing ever happened. That’s the best option.’ With her route of action no clear, Rarity resumed her hasty walk to the castle. When she reached the big doors Rarity took a few seconds to calm herself. She had to act like nothing was wrong, even if what had happened to her was the worst possible thing. She took a deep breath and let herself in, just like earlier. “Twilight!” She shouted, cringing after realizing that it had sounded way too urgent. She couldn’t give anything away. She cleared her voice and tried again. “Twilight.” Better. She walked to the middle of the hallway, waiting for her friend’s answer. ‘Is she even here? Maybe she went out.’ She was about to call Twilight’s name one more but stopped as a lavender glow caught her attention. A magical orb floated down from the stairs, moving directly to Rarity. It circled around her three times before stopping in front of her for three seconds, after that it floated upstairs again. Rarity quickly followed it. The orb guided Rarity all the way to the dining room in the third floor. The orb moved through to the door. “Twilight?” Rarity called as she poke her head inside. “Hey, Rarity.” Twilight answered, lazily waving one hand at her friend while holding what seemed to be a hay burger on the other. The magic orb flew around her one time before moving towards the horn and disappearing. Rarity just wanted to run up to her friend and beg her to get rid of the spell, it would surely be a matter of seconds and she could forget all about this. ‘Remember to act as usual. Don’t give anything away.’ Rarity thought, taking a breath before walking inside towards her friend. “Hello, Twilight.” Rarity sat on the chair that was right next to Twilight. “So, What brings you here? Did you change your mind about tasting Spike’s frozen food?” Twilight asked as she gave another bite to her burger. ‘Don’t jump to the subject yet. Make some small chit chat. Be patient.’ “I need you to remove the spell from me.” Rarity mentally facepalmed. ‘Whatever, better to get this thing over with.’ Twilight regarded her friend with puzzled expression. She placed her burger on the plate and cleaned her mouth with a napkin before talking. “Why? Did something happen?” “Nononono, Twilight, no nothing happened, absolutely nothing.” Rarity nervously laughed as she mentally berated herself. “Are you sure everything is fine?” ‘No, nothing is fine, and that damned spell is the problem.’ “Yes, Twilight, I’m fine. It’s just…” Rarity trailed off, not really knowing what to say. “It’s just what, Rarity?” Rarity took a deep breath, she had been taking a lot of those recently. “It’s just… I-I took this afternoon to… to really think about this.” ‘Not bad, you are doing great. Now, don’t mess it up.’ “I… I saw the spell and I just… I know that I said everything was going to be fine, but I think I was being a bit too optimistic.” Rarity said, each word flowing with more ease than the previous one. “Are you… Are you afraid that the spell will never react?” Twilight asked. Rarity bit her lip. She was afraid, but afraid for a complete different reason, one that she was trying hard to ignore. “I… I don’t want this spell.” Twilight placed a hand on her friend's shoulder. “Alright, Rarity, follow me to the library.” She stood, pushing her chair back, while she lifted her plate with her magic. It floated behind her as she moved to the door. Rarity quickly stood and went after her friend. “I have to say, I’m a bit… sad with this change.” Twilight commented, looking back at Rarity, who only answer was a lifted brow. “I also gave some thought to it.” She continued. “I was a bit worried for you at first, but then I just… I don’t know, I just thought that you would be able to find that special pony and live happy ever after. Just like the ponies that found their partner centuries ago did.” Twilight smiled at Rarity. Rarity remained silent. After reaching the library, Twilight guided them to the shelf at the back of the room, the one where she kept the most important books. With a spark of her horn, a light barrier glowed right in front of both ponies before fading away. Twilight reached for the oldest looking book and opened it, quickly turning the pages until she found what she was looking for. She gave the text a once over before closing it. “Alright, the spell should be easy to remove.” “Does the book says how to do it?” Twilight shook her head. “No, it doesn’t, I just wanted to re-read all of it to… understand it a bit better. Verus Amor is a dormant spell, thanks to that I can easily remove it.” At those words, Rarity felt her body relax. She wouldn’t have to deal with this spell for long now. Twilight placed the book back on the shelf before turning around. “Now, just stand still, this will only take me a few seconds.” Rarity did a she was told, she stood still and waited. She looked at Twilight’s face, she was looking back at her as her horn began to shine with a purple aura. A purple mist extended from her horn and covered Rarity’s head. The unicorn coughed a bit as the mist went through her nose and mouth, it was as thick as smoke. She only had to bear with it for a second before it cleared away. Rarity looked how a frown formed on Twilight’s face before her horn lit off. The alicorn scratched her head. “D-did it work?” Rarity asked with a bit of hope and a bit of dread. ‘Please, please, tell me it worked.’ Twilight kept frowning at her. “It… wait a second.” The alicorn casted a second spell. Twilight’s magic covered and Rarity’s body with her purple glow. Twilight’s frown deepened. “What is it? Is… Is something wrong with the spell?” Rarity asked. ‘She… she found something about the spell, I know that look. Maybe… maybe she found that the spell is wrong. She casted it wrong! That’s why she’s frowning like that.’ Rarity hopefully thought, but didn’t dare to feel happy yet with this news, not until she heard those words from Twilight. “The spell isn’t dormant.” Twilight said, looking at her friend right on the eyes. “It already activated.” Rarity looked at Twilight, opening and closing her mouth, not sure what to say now. “Didn’t you notice when this happened?” “I…” Rarity looked away and began nervously curling a strand of her mane with a finger. “I have no idea-” “Oh, Celestia, you did notice!” Twilight exclaimed. “You found the other pony in less than a day! That’s-” “A mistake!” Rarity shouted looking back at Twilight. “The spell is wrong and I want it out of me!” “What? Why, I… I don’t understand. The spell activated, the pony of you-” “The spell is wrong.” Rarity repeated. “That pony… it just can’t be. She can’t be my perfect match!” “She? That’s why you want to get rid of the spell?” Twilight looked at Rarity in disbelief. “You want to get rid of the spell because it isn’t pointing towards your prince charming?” “What? No! I don’t care that she’s a mare.” “Then what is it? Why can’t you accept her? You don’t like her?” “No… That’s not it, but it just can’t happen.” “Why can’t it happen? This is your chance, give her an opportunity.” “I… I can’t. Please, Twilight, just… just get this thing out of me.”Rarity said desperately. “Why? Just tell me why you won’t accept-” “Because it’s Sweetie Belle!” Rarity shouted, looking down at the floor. Twilight remained silent for a few seconds, had she heard correctly? “Did you just…” “The spell is wrong.”  Rarity muttered, her complete frame shaking. “It must be wrong, because there’s no way that Sweetie Belle is…” “You… you’re kidding, right?” “You think I would joke about something like this?!” Rarity shouted. “The moment my nose was filled with that fragrance… I freaked out, Twilight! Do you understand now? That’s why you have to get this thing out of me!” “I-I... “ Twilight hesitated. “I’m sorry, Rarity, but I can’t.” “No, Twilight. You… There must be something you can…” “If the spell had remained dormant, then I could have gotten it out of you, but now that it activated…” Twilight rubbed the back of her head. “You will have to wait until the spell fades out on it’s own.” Rarity fell to her knees and held her head with both hands. “I hoped to get rid of this as quickly as possible. I…” Rarity looked up. “How long will take for it to fade away?” Twilight bit her lip. “Maybe a day, maybe a week… a year is a possibility.” “What?! I have to live with a spell that is telling me to fuck my sister for a year!” “The spell isn’t telling you that, Rarity.” “It practically is!” Rarity said with a huff. “I can’t believe this. At least tell me that you made a mistake, that you casted it wrong.” She waited for her friend to answer, but she remained silent. “At least tell me a lie, Twilight! Tell me that Sweetie isn’t my true love.” “Well.... Technically speaking, she isn’t, she’s just the pony you have the greatest compati-” “Fuck, Twilight you are so useless! If you can’t do something to help then just shut your mouth!” The room remained silent. Rarity was trying to calm herself while Twilight stood awkwardly a few steps away from the unicorn. Finally, with a deep breath followed by a sigh, Rarity spoke. “I’m… I’m sorry, darling. I didn’t meant to -” “No, I understand, Rarity. You… you are going through something really complicated.” Twilight walked to Rarity and placed a hand on her back. “I’m sorry I can’t help you. I should have never casted it.” “No, It’s my fault. If I hadn’t asked you to do it...” “What are you going to do now?” Rarity sighed. “I’m going to wait. I’ll ignore this thing, act as if nothing happened, that Sweetie is using a really good and strong perfume.” “I guess that’s a good plan.” Twilight moved her hand to Rarity’s shoulder and pulled it so her friend looked at her. “If something happens… you can talk to me.” Rarity gave a tiny smile as replay. “Maybe I could write to Princess Celestia. She could give us more information about this spell. She could even tell us that the spell has its flaws, that it doesn’t-” “No.” “Rarity, the Princess could-” “No, Twilight. I…” Rarity brought her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around her legs. Rarity as afraid of the princess answer. Twilight had told her earlier that the spell always worked, hearing it from the princess, that there was no mistake. ‘What is this spell saying about me?’ Rarity hugged her legs harder. “This isn’t something I want other ponies to know.” “But someone could help, -” “Please, don’t tell anyone. I only told you because you kind of pushed me to do so.” Twilight sighed. “Alright, I won’t tell anyone, you have my word.” Twilight said, placing her hand on Rarity’s shoulder. “Thanks, Twilight.” Rarity said, taking Twilight’s hand with her own and squeezing it. Twilight stood and extended a hand to her friend. “You should head back home and try to rest. You must be exhausted with what happened.” “You are right, my mind could use some rest.” Rarity took the hand and stood, dusting the back of her shorts. “I feel tired all of a sudden, knowing that there’s nothing I can do but wait.” Twilight hugged her friend. “Just wait and you’ll see that in no time this will just be a thing of the past.” Rarity nodded hoping that her friend was right. Twilight accompanied the unicorn to the entrance of the castle and said goodbye. Rarity walked lazily back home. She didn’t felt like going there yet but it was late, and she was feeling a bit hungry. ‘Maybe I should have accepted Twilight’s offer and ate with her…’ Rarity considered going back, but quickly shook her head. ‘No, Sweetie said she would have dinner for me. I should head back quickly.’ Rarity reached the front door of the boutique. She stood there, looking at the knob of the door. ‘Nothing will change, I won’t let this thing change anything.’ She grabbed the knob and turned it. The bell above the door jingled. “Sweetie, I’m back.” Rarity said entering the boutique’s main room. Sweetie Belle didn’t answer, but Rarity could hear the sound of Sweetie’s acoustic guitar coming from the second floor. She felt a bit relieved to not have to deal with her sister yet, even if it was for a few minutes. Rarity walked to the door on the back, the one that lead to the rest of the house. In the kitchen, Rarity found her dinner. There was pasta on a pot and some kind of sauce in another. Rarity dipped the tip of her finger in the sauce and brought it to her mouth. Carbonara sauce, one of her favourites, and it was delicious. Rarity heated the sauce before serving herself. As she ate, Rarity couldn’t help but wonder, had her little sister really learned all of this from the Apple family? Not likely. They must have taught Sweetie Belle the basics, how to handle herself in the kitchen, but these recipes, this variety, Sweetie must have taken some extra effort to search and learn this dishes. Rarity smiled because she has an amazing little sister. After finishing and cleaning, Rarity moved to the second floor, she had to thank her sister for the food. Rarity could hear that Sweetie was still playing, but had changed from the guitar to the piano in the time Rarity had taken to eat. As she walked closer, she heard Sweetie singing along the tune. The door was slightly open and the moment Rarity looked inside the room, the smell of fruit overflowed her sense when she caught sight of her sister. Rarity took a quick step back and looked away, a bit hagitated. ‘The spell is wrong, just ignore it!’ Rarity told herself. She had to wait, calm herself, so she decided to wait out here while her sister finished playing. She listened her sister sing, closing her eyes to both calm herself and to slightly help her enhance her hearing. “... in the wreckage, put it on a necklace Keepin' it cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine I wear it like a message so I don't forget it Keepin' it cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine I know that it's mine no matter what I do I know that it's mine whether I win or lose And even though my heart needs to take its time I know that it's mine, I know that it's mine.” The music of the piano continued a bit longer, but eventually reached its end. Rarity opened her eyes. ‘She has an incredible talent.’ She thought as a proud smile grazed her lips. Feeling calmer, Rarity moved to the door and pushed it open, the smell returned, but she wouldn’t let it affect her. “That was beautiful, Sweetie. Did you write that song?” “Rarity?” Sweetie said surprised, “Oh, uh, thanks. And no, I didn’t wrote it, but it’s a song that I like so much.” She stood from the stool she was on and walked to her sister, giving her in a hug that Rarity happily returned. “When did you get home? I didn’t hear you enter.” Sweetie broke the hug. “Did you already eat?” “Yes, I ate the pasta you left for me.” “And… did you like it? Was it good?” Sweetie asked expectantly. Rarity adopted a thoughtful position. “Not really.” “Oh…” Sweetie said, her gaze falling to the floor and her ears folding back. Rarity leaned forward, her mouth centimeters away of Sweetie’s ear. “It wasn’t good, it was exquisite.” Sweetie Belle looked up with glee in her eyes, but it quickly turned into a frown. “You could have said that from the beginning! I thought you hadn’t liked it!” “Now, now, Sweetie.” Rarity said with a smirk. “What kind of older sister would I be if I didn’t mess with you from time to time?” “Uhmmm, a good sister?” Rarity gasped theatrically. “Are you implying that I’m a terrible sister?” Sweetie hummed as she pondered her answer. “No, terrible not… Bad sister would be more-” Sweetie Belle was abruptly interrupted as her sister pinched her cheeks. “You little… This will show you just how bad of a sister I am.” She smiled deviously before pulling from her sister’s white flesh. “I’m sorry! You’re a great sister!” Rarity laughed from both how funny her sister sounded as she apologized and from how ridiculous her face looked at that moment. Sweetie took advantage of this moment. Rarity laughed even harder as Sweetie began tickling her sides. It was a bit too much for Rarity, causing her to topple backwards, bringing Sweetie down with her. Both sisters laughed as they laid next to each other on the floor. Rarity looked up to the ceiling when realization hit her and a smile spread on her face. She had been afraid that she might start acting awkward around Sweetie due to the spell, but she was happy that it wasn’t the case. She had just spent some silly yet good time with her sister, she had mostly forgotten about the spell during that time. ‘I… I can do this. I can go on like the spell never happened.’ She thought, feeling better than she had felt all day. “What do you say if we watch a movie?” Sweetie Belle said as she got up. “Hmmm, I don’t know.” Rarity sat up. “I’m really tired, and don’t you have to get up early tomorrow?” “Come on, Rarity, let’s watch a movie. Pretty please.” Sweetie begged, using her greatest weapon, her puppy eyes. Rarity sighed in defeat. “Alright, alright.” “Yay!” Sweetie exclaimed as she happily skipped, like she was a little filly, out of the room. Rarity shook her head and chuckled. ‘She’s just too cute to say no.’ Rarity thought as she stood and moved after her sister. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Excuse me, madam.” Rarity looked to the side searching for the source of the voice. Her eyes landed on a stallion that stood nearby. He wore a black suit that contrasted with his white coat. His face was partially covered by a masquerade. Rarity lifted the glass she had been holding to her lips, she took a sip of its content before answering. “Yes?” “I couldn’t help but notice your beauty from the other side of the room. I just had to come here and see if you would grant me the honor to dance the next song with me.” He said as he bowed slightly, offering his right hand while keeping his left one on his back. Rarity smiled. She downed the rest of the drink before leaving the glass on the table. She looked at her two companions on the table. “You may excuse me, Miss Opal, Miss Platinum, but I cannot refuse such request.” “Of course, Miss Rarity, but you have to promise me that you will tell me more about your designs the next time we meet.” One of the mares said as the other nodded. “Of course I will.” Rarity then turned away from the table, accepting the offered hand and allowed herself to be guided to the dance floor. As they reached the center, the stallion turned around. He looked at Rarity and flashed his most charming smile. Keeping his hold on Rarity’s hand, he took a step closer and placed his left hand on Rarity’s waist. Rarity didn’t waste time and quickly placed her hand on his shoulder. They remained still for a few seconds, waiting for the music to start. The first note filled the room, the stallion took one step forward as Rarity took one backwards. They danced with grace and poise. Rarity smiled, their movements were in perfect sync, as if she had known this stallion for years. She laughed at the moment the stallion guided her spin on the spot. Rarity lifted her gaze to look at the stallion's face. Through the holes of his mask, Rarity could see a pair of blank eyes. Rarity’s face flashed a hint of disappointment before disappearing, thinking nothing else from that. The song was slowly fading away. Both of them did one final move before the song ended. Both of them distanced from each other. Rarity ran towards the stallion and jumped as high as she could, her arms extended to each side. The stallion caught and held her up in the air. Cheers filled the room, Rarity looked around her, noticing that they were the only pair in the dance floor, all the others had moved to the side to watch them dance. “Thank you,” the stallion said, lifting Rarity’s hand and leaning forward to place a kiss on it. “For dancing with me.” “It was my pleasure.” Rarity answered with a smile. Another song started as she made her way out of the dance floor, but before getting far, another stallion approached her. “Would you grant me this next song?” He said as he offered his hand. “I…” Before she could answer, Rarity noticed a queue slowly forming behind the stallion. Every single one of them looked exactly the same. White coat, black suit, the same mask. She sighed. Before she could look back to the stallion who had just asked her for a dance, her eyes caught sight of something that stood out from the mass of black and white. Purple. Rarity could see a mare standing near the end of the queue. She had the same white coat as the stallions, but she was wearing a beautiful purple dress and a mask that matched. The mare seemed to have her eyes closed, swishing her hips to the melody that filled the room. The eyes of the mare fluttered open and looked towards the direction of the band that was playing. Her eyes then looked around the room before halting when they met Rarity’s. They held each other’s gaze for a moment before the mare turned around and left the room. Rarity’s body acted on her own. Her legs moved to chase after the mare. “Miss Rarity.” The stallion at the front of the queue called. “Sorry!” Rarity shouted as she approached the doors. “That dance will have to be some other time!” She said before leaving the room. At the other side of the doors, the elegance from which she had been surrounded just a second ago had completely disappeared. Around her the only thing she could see where the kind of vegetation that would be found in a tropical island. She thought nothing of it, as her mind was filled with one thought. ‘Those green eyes…’ She moved forward while looking around, trying to catch a glimpse of purple. The vegetation made way to an open area where a gentle breeze greeted her. A large body of water covered the surface all the way to the horizon. Rarity easily spotted whom she had been looking for as the mare was the only one there. ‘There she is.’ The mare stood on the sand, her back towards Rarity. The fashionista moved forward, but quickly halted her advance as the mare in front of her moved. The mare lifted her arms and slowly slipped the straps of her dress off her shoulders. The dress slowly fell down to the sand. Rarity was completely stunned, her gaze remaining locked on the exposed back of the mare, the pink and purple mane and the tail partially obstructing some of it. It didn’t take long for her eyes to start roaming up and down the beautiful and lean figure. She licked her lips, her heart beating slightly faster each second. She felt like she should say something, but wasn’t sure what. What could she say in a moment like this? She wasn’t even sure why she had chased after this mare in the first place. She felt like she should turn around and leave the mare alone… but there was something that just wouldn’t allow her to make a step back. Whatever it was, it held her right there, telling her to do exactly the opposite. To move forward and continue with this. To make it happen. The mare made the first move, looking back at Rarity with her mesmerizing green eyes. Rarity’s eyes widened in recognition as the mare no longer wore the mask from earlier. Her heart just beat harder. Rarity cleared her throat while forcing herself to stop staring. “Hey...” That was a good start… maybe. “I didn’t-” A finger on her lips silenced Rarity. Rarity looked down at the finger, but her eyes focused on something else, the mare’s exposed bosom. The finger was pulled away, moving the hand to Rarity’s cheek while the other was placed on her waist, pulling the fashionista closer. Rarity looked in silence as the mare closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly to the side. Rarity mirrored the mare’s moves with excitement, she would finally get what she wanted, what she had- A sudden amount of pressure on her chest caused her to stop. Everything collapsed around her before being immersed in a bright light. “W-what?” Rarity asked a little startled. She could feel the additional weight on her chest moving slightly, but remaining in place. “Meow.” “Opal?” Rarity blinked several times. Slowly, a white and grumpy ball of fur came into focus. The ball of fur was looking back at her with an annoyed look. “Meow.” Rarity groaned. “Opal, how many times have I told you to not jump on mommy’s chest while she’s sleeping?” ‘Specially now that you have gained so much weight.’ “Meow.” Opal answered a bit more insistent. “Can’t it wait? I worked till late last night on a design and I really need a few more minutes of sleep.” Opal hissed and Rarity sighed in defeat, just like every time Opal did this. “Alright, I’ll be down in a minute.” “Meow.” Opal turned, her tail flicking over Rarity’s face before she jumped off her owner’s chest, landing on the carpet. Opal moved leisurely out of the room. Rarity sat up, stretching her upper limbs and her back before looking towards her nightstand. Ten eighteen read the clock, and today was… Friday. She felt a bit sad. The shop was supposed to open a ten o’clock. Or at least, that was the hour that she usually opened. The number of ponies who visited her shop before noon were few, but there still were days where a customer came early with some fashionable emergency. Hopefully, today hadn’t been one of those days. But no, that wasn’t the reason why she felt sad. Sweetie Belle had left for work an hour and a half ago. Waking up at this hour meant that she had missed one of the absolutely amazing breakfasts that she had come to really love this week. Rarity sighed as she plopped back on her bed. Being honest, the breakfast wasn’t the main reason why she felt like this. Not waking up early to see Swee- “MEOW!” Opal called from the door, interrupting Rarity’s thoughts.. “Ugh, I’m going!” Rarity said, standing up in one quick movement and followed the cat to the first floor. When Opal reached the kitchen, she walked to one of the corners and sat right next to her empty bowl. She glared at her owner as she waited for this one to bring her food. Rarity moved to the cupboard, using her magic to open it and stretching her hand to grab one of the canned cat food. “Didn’t Sweetie Belle feed you before she left for work?” She asked as she looked at her cat, whom had chosen that same moment to stop glaring at her to focus on something on her paw. “I should put you on a diet, you have gained so much-” Opal hissed as she sent a murderous look to the fashionista. “I wasn’t being serious, but if you’re going to be like this, then I might just do that!” She said as she turned around and returned the can to its place. Rarity felt something soft brushing against her leg. Looking down was the greatest mistake she could have done. Opal was looking up at her with one of the most endearing looks she had been exposed to, coming close, but not quite there, to the ones Sweetie Belle had used on her. “Awww, alright darling,” Rarity said as she turned to grab the canned food, she quickly opened it and poured its contents in Opal’s bowl. “There you have it.” “Meow.” Opal said with fake sweetness before focusing on her food. With that out of the way, Rarity started to make her own breakfast. A couple of toasts, tofu and a cup of hot coffee. Rarity inhaled deeply, the steam of her beverage filled her lungs. She sighed happily, placing the mug back on the table. She had missed the smell of hot coffee in the morning. Having breakfast with Sweetie Belle had made it impossible for her to smell something other than the fruity mix. It wasn’t that she disliked the smell, it was the opposite, she really liked it, maybe a bit too much, but she had really, really missed the smell of coffee. Rarity quickly finished her breakfast, leaving the dishes in the sink before moving upstairs. She had to take a bath and get ready for the day. Rarity pulled her glasses down and looked out the window, a grunt escaped her mouth, quickly shaking her head, reminding herself that ladies didn’t grunt. Not a single customer had come today to the boutique, not even the ones that came to ask for small fixes to a tablecloth or an old quilt. Rarity looked towards the clock, a quarter to five. Rarity sighed again. She had busied herself earlier with dusting the boutique, after that she had prepared lunch just for herself. When she finished it, she moved to her work room where she gave a once over to her latest creation, the magnificent navy blue dress on which she had been working since Monday. Later, she had attempted to work in some new designs, but her mind wouldn’t cooperate with her. Busying herself with chores had been a way to avoid that. Avoid that which has been distracting her since… since Sunday afternoon. ‘It… It meant nothing.’ Rarity thought, readjusting her glasses before she added a few lines to the sketch. ‘Why am I even thinking about it? It wasn’t real. It means nothing.’ She thought with a frown, adding some details to the drawing. ‘Just like the others, they meant nothing… Maybe they mean something, but not THAT. It’s impossible for it to mean that because I’m not like THAT. It’s ridiculous… completely absurd… It’s...’ Rarity’s train of thought halted as she took a better look at what she was drawing. The dress, she had seen it before, even with the lack of details, there was no doubt that she had seen it. It wasn’t until she looked up to the face she had drawn that she realized where she had seen it. It brought images to her mind, images that she had been trying to suppress. “It was a dream.” Rarity said as she looked down at the picture of her sister. “It doesn’t mean…” She halted as her mind was filled with the last seconds of the dream. “I’m not…” Her mind changed to the others dream of this week. “I…” Each dream was different, but there was always something in common. The way how she leaned forward in an attempt to touch her lips to- ‘I have a perfectly normal sisterly relationship with Sweetie Belle, nothing more, nothing less.’ Rarity removed her glasses, stood up, and walked to the trash bin with the paper in hand. She ripped it in half before throwing it inside. ‘What’s this stupid spell doing to me? I don’t feel that way! I’m not like that!’ She thought angrily as she walked around the room. She paused, taking a moment to calm herself. She shouldn’t be getting so angry about this nonsense. They were dreams and nothing else. Just because something had happened in one of those didn’t that it would happen in the real world. After all, she had dreamed countless times about being together with the elegant and refined Prince Blueblood, cuddling, kissing and more. But no, the dreams had turned to be just that, dreams that were far off the mark when Prince Blueblood showed her how much of a royal jerk he really was. So this was probably the same. Rarity shook her head. She wasn’t saying Sweetie was like that jerk, that would be the greatest of insults to anyone. Sweetie Belle was thoughtful, adventurous, kind, funny, talented, beautiful… ‘The loveliest mare I have ever seen.’ Warmth filled Rarity’s chest as an image of a smiling Sweetie Belle with sparkling green eyes came to her mind, just like every time she thought of her. “AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!” ‘This spell is messing with my mind!’ She leaned against a wall, running a hand through her mane, tugging some of the strands while balling the other into a trembling fist. ‘Is the only explanation. I can’t be like this. It’s the one making me… This feelings aren’t mine. I can’t let it-’  “Hello, Rarity?” Came the voice of Twilight Sparkle from the first floor. Rarity inhaled deeply, then let it go. She cleared her voice. “I’ll be down there in a moment, darling!” Rarity moved quickly to the bathroom and looked at her reflection on the mirror. She wasn’t looking her best, and that was a problem. She fixed her mane in a record time, splashed some water on her face and wiped it with a towel. She smoothed a few wrinkles from her shirt and skirt, and looking almost perfect, Rarity left the bathroom. On the first floor, Rarity found Twilight sitting on the couch. Twilight smiled and waved at her. “Hello, darling.” “Hi, Rarity.” Twilight stood when Rarity got closer, both of them sharing a hug. “I hope I didn’t interrupt anything. Were you working on a dress?” “Not really. Business has been slow today… Actually, it’s been nonexistent, so I was working on some new sketches.” Twilight looked at her with worry in her eyes. “Is everything okay? I heard you screaming a moment ago.” ‘She heard me?’ Rarity quickly thought something up. “It was nothing. I was just frustrated because I… I just don’t feel inspired today. Haven’t been able to come up with any good designs.” “That’s something I never expected to hear from you.” Twilight sat back on the couch. “Creative blocks happen to everyone, but I’m sure it won’t last. Knowing you, It will be gone before night and you will have a brand new and beautiful dress completed by midnight.” Rarity chuckled. “A new dress in less than a night? I know I’m good at what I do, but I had no idea that I could pull miracles like that.” “Of course you can!” Twilight laughed along her friend. Rarity was about to sit right next to Twilight to continue their amicable conversation when she remembered that Twilight was a guest in her home and she hadn’t offered her anything yet. “Darling, would you like some tea? Or perhaps you would prefer a cup of coffee?” “Thank you, Rarity, but no. I won’t be staying here for long. I just came to invite you to a little party tomorrow.” “A party? What’s the occasion?” “Spike is returning to Ponyville tomorrow, so I asked Pinkie to help me organize a ‘Welcome home’ surprise party.” Twilight said, beaming with happiness Rarity clapped her hands. “Spikey-wikey is returning tomorrow? That’s fantastic!” “It is. His train is scheduled to arrive at Ponyville’s station at around four thirty in the afternoon. The plan is for you and the others to start arriving to the castle at four o’clock because there’s the chance that the train will arrive earlier. I’ll go for Spike and get him to the castle. Surprise, surprise, the party starts.” Rarity nodded. “It sounds perfect. So, who will be attending to the party.” “It’ll be a small get together, so I’m inviting the usual. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Starlight, Pinkie Pie, you and the crusaders. I actually still have to go invite the others, but I’m sure they’ll be attending.” “Alright, I guess I can make it a little easier for you and tell Sweetie Belle about… Oh.” Twilight tilted her head. “What?” Rarity finally sat next to Twilight. “Sweetie won’t be able to assist. I just remembered that she already has plans for tomorrow. Somepony hired her band to play at a… I believe she told me it’s a birthday party, tomorrow. The other crusaders will be assisting too, so they won’t be able to assist to Spike’s party.” “Oh well, that’s a shame, I wanted for all of Spike’s closest friends to be there.” Twilight sighed. “But you don’t have nothing planned for tomorrow, right?” “Nothing at all. I have missed Spikey, it’ll be so good to see him again.” She said with a gentle smile. “I’m sure Sweetie has also missed him, but she will have to talk to him some other day.” “Yeah…” Twilight was silent for a second. “The party will be smaller than I thought. Oh well, we can’t help it.” Twilight stood up and gave a small smile. “Okay, I got to go and tell the others about the party. Wish Sweetie Belle good luck for me tomorrow.” Rarity accompanied her friend to the door. “I will, Twilight.” Twilight extended her hand to grab the doorknob, but stopped before reaching it. She remained still for a second. “Twilight?” “There’s actually another thing I wanted to talk with you.” She turned to look straight into her friend's eyes. “How have you been? No problems with… with the spell?” She looked like she wanted to say something more, but didn’t. Rarity took a moment to answer. “There hasn’t been any problems, Twilight.” Twilight nodded. “Good, good. I… How have things been with Sweetie? Has it been awkw-” “Everything is alright.” Rarity interrupted with a bit of force. “It was weird  the first few days… It still is, but it’s nothing that I can’t handle.” “Right… I just… You know that you can talk to me if… if you need someone to listen…” Twilight trailed off. “I better get going. Goodbye, Rarity.” Twilight opened the door and walked out, the door closing behind her. “Wait.” Rarity stopped the door before it closed. Twilight looked back at her, waiting. “I… I have a question… One regarding the spell.” “... Alright. Uhm, what is it?” Rarity looked at the ground, thinking thoroughly how to ask this without… “Does this spell have other effects? You know, other than the smell thing.” She asked, not looking at her friend, wishing from deep inside her that there was something else to the spell, something that explained those dreams. Twilight searched in her memory for every single bit of information she had about the spell. “It shouldn’t have any other effects.” “Oh…” Rarity couldn’t help but feel a mixture of disappointment and worry. “Why do you ask?” She got closer to Rarity. “Did something happen this week?” Rarity shook her head, trying not to show on her face how she felt. “No, no, darling. I just… I just wanted to be prepared, you know, in case that there was something else so it doesn’t take me by surprise.” “You don’t have to worry, after you told me about to whom the spell reacted, I studied the spell again, I analyzed the way how the spell is composed while keeping in mind how much magic I infused in you when I casted it. There shouldn’t be any other surprises.” Twilight said with determination. “That’s fantastic... great.” Rarity said downcast, quickly shaking her head in an attempt to change her mood. Twilight studied her friend for a moment. It was obvious that there was something in Rarity’s mind. “Rarity… If there is…” She stopped. If her friend didn't want to talk about, then she wouldn’t pressure her. “Well,” Rarity said after a moment of silence “I don’t want to take anymore of your time, darling. If you don’t hurry, you won’t be able to invite the others to the party before Princess Celestia lowers the sun. You still have to walk all the way to Fluttershy’s cottage.” “Right. I… See you tomorrow.” Twilight said with a little wave, walking away from the boutique. “Goodbye, Twilight!” Rarity closed her door, resting her head against it. Her hand tightened its grip against the doorknob. Rarity gritteed her teeths as she remembered Twilight’s words: “It shouldn’t have any other effects.” Her eyes began to sting. It shouldn't have any other effect, that could only mean that those dreams… The warm sensation… The sadness when she wasn’t there… Rarity pulled away from the door, taking a deep, calming breath. She walked to the couch with unsteady steps. When she sat down, she felt more tired than when she had worked for four consecutive nights in a row for an order for Sapphire Shores. “I guess I should do the laundry.” Rarity said to herself, knowing that this was just another attempt to distract her mind. She stood up and walked. Rarity blinked, suddenly finding herself right in front of the washing machine. The short trip from the living room to this place had felt like nothing. Using her magic, Rarity levitated the laundry basket to her and proceeded to separate the light colored clothes from the dark ones, keeping in mind that there were some that had to be washed by hand. It wasn’t long until she reached one of Sweetie Belle’s pajama shirts. A tear fell down Rarity’s cheek. “I’m… so weak.” She gave a sad chuckle. “I told myself I would be strong, but it’s been less than a week and I already caved in… Pathetic.” Rarity brought the shirt to her nose and inhaled deeply, happy that what her brain registered wasn’t the smell of fruits like always. This was Sweetie’s scent. It felt like ages since the last time she had been able to… savor it. Sweetie’s scent wasn’t the only thing that filled her. Each sniff brought with it a warm feeling that spread across her body, the feeling being stronger in her nether region. Rolling her skirt up, she sat on the floor and leaned against a wall, spreading her legs to allow her hand easier access to her boiling core. She ran her fingers over the fabric. She knew perfectly well that she shouldn’t be doing this, but she was tired… So tired of denying it. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Hey, Belle.” Sweetie looked back towards the exit of Octavia’s Music School. Her bandmates, two pegasis and a unicorn, stood right next to the door. “Yeah?” Sweetie asked as she turned her head back, taking the electronic keyboard she had just used in the practice to put it back on its place. The unicorn - a mare with light green mane and yellow coat took a step forward. “We’re heading to Sugarcube Corner, hang out there for a little while.” She said, pointing back with her thumb in the general direction of the sugary store. “Wanna come?” “Nah, I’m pretty tired.” With the keyboard on its rightful place, Sweetie stretched her arms up in the air and looked at her friends. “I’ll just go home, eat something and watch a movie. You all better not stay out till late, I don’t want you all whining of how tired you are tomorrow before the show.” “Relax, Belle.” The unicorn answered as she rolled her eyes. “We won't.” “Yeah, We won’t complain about being tired.” One of the pegasus, a stallion that had a platinum mane with some streaks of white and gray coat said. “We’ll be too busy complaining about the massive hangover we’ll have after drinking so much today.” “As long as you are the one paying for the drinks, I’m in.” The other pegasus, a mare with the same mane color but lighter coat said as she took her purse from one of the chairs near the entrance. Sweetie sighed, slapping her forehead, but kept a tiny smile as she knew they were just joking. “Please don’t do that.” She looked at the unicorn. “Jazzy, can I count on you to keep an eye on the twins for the night?” The unicorn gave a thumbs up. “Sure thing. I won’t let them get out of control.” “Ha! She won’t be able to keep me away from my true love!”  The stallion exclaimed as he ran out from the building. “I… I’m no longer sure if he’s joking.” Sweetie said with a worried look. “He won’t be if we leave him alone. See you tomorrow, Belle.” The pegasus walked out, the unicorn following behind while waving at Sweetie. “Bye.” Sweetie answered before the door closed. Sweetie looked around the room, making sure that everything was in the right place. Happy that her friends had left the instruments they had used where they belonged, Sweetie walked to the door at the opposite side of the entrance. She walked through the hallway, her gaze fixed on the furthest of the doors. She knocked. “Come in.” Sweetie opened the door and peaked her head inside. “Hey, Miss Octavia. We are done. Thanks again for letting us practice here… and for lending us the amps for tomorrow. I promise to take good care of them.” The gray mare who was sitting behind a desk flashed Sweetie a grin. “I know you will. Now,” Octavia signaled Sweetie to take sit on a chair in front of the desk and waited for Sweetie to sit down “How are you feeling about tomorrow? Excited? Nervous? Both?” “Excited. I mean, this isn’t the first time someone has hired us for a party, but it will be the biggest one we have played in so far.” Octavia nodded. “It’s… I don’t know her name, but it’s the birthday party of Filthy Rich’s daughter, right?” “Yeah, Diamond Tiara. Her birthday parties are one of the biggest events here in Ponyville, and I’m so happy that she chose our band for such an occasion.” Sweetie said with excitement, but it suddenly disappeared. “Maybe I am a little bit nervous., It is a big party after all. “That’s normal, Sweetie, but everything will turn out alright.Your band is really talented and you are an amazing singer. I’m actually a bit worried about you performing,” Octavia said, feigning alarm. “What if you get discovered by some rich pony in that party and offers you a good deal with a discography? The school would lose its best teacher.” “Really? I’m the best teacher?” “Well, right after me, of course.” Octavia laughed. Sweetie laughed too. “Right. Well, I better get going. See you tomorrow, Miss Octavia.” “Good-” Octavia’s eyes widened. “Oh wait! I just remembered, I’m busy tomorrow afternoon, so you’ll have to come by early for the amps.” “You’re going out in a date with Vinyl, right?” Octavia smiled goofily. “Tomorrow is our anniversary.” “Congratulations! And no problem, I can come earlier.” Sweetie Belle said as she left Octavia’s office. Sweetie Belle grabbed her bag from the rack with her magic and left the building. She still had about half an hour of sunlight before she got home, but she did not slow down to enjoy it, as she eagerly rushed home. Today had been so tiring. Her singing classes took almost the whole morning, and when her lunch hour had finally arrived, her plans to go home and eat there were ruined when her bandmates arrived earlier than she expected for practice, nothing she could do there. Right now she just wanted to change her clothes, eat dinner and relax for the night. Talk with Rarity, or maybe watch a movie together. ‘I hope there is something good on TV tonight.’ Sweetie thought, smiling as she looked forward. The boutique was now in sight, making Sweetie Belle hasten her pace. The sign on the door read “Open” which meant that Rarity was home. Coming in she dropped her bag on the couch, and shouted . “Rarity, I’m back!” She waited for a reply a bit, but no one answered. She didn’t think anything of it - it just usually meant that Rarity was busy working on something. With a shrug, Sweetie Belle flipped the sign at the door with her magic, it was almost time for the boutique to close for the day anyway. The unicorn moved to the kitchen and noticed that dinner hadn’t even been started. Any other day she would be happy to cook something she had learned for Rarity and her, but today she felt really tired. ‘I’ll make sandwiches… right after I take a bath. I’m really sweaty from all the playing this afternoon.’ Sweetie did not look behind before taking a step back. A hiss as the only warning she got before a sharp claw made contact with her leg. She jumped back, her hands covering the fresh claw marks. “Ouch! Opal, what the hell?!” Sweetie glared at the cat, who returned it. Taking a better look, she understood what had happened. She sighed. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to step on your tail.” Opal hissed at her again, looking ready to murder. “I’m really, really sorry.” Opal just kept glaring at her. “I’ll give you a full can of tuna.” And just like that, the cat was back to being just grumpy. “After my shower.” “Meow!” Sweetie ignored Opal’s complaints, moving to the second floor and walking down the hallway to her room, but before reaching it, Sweetie Belle stopped and took a few steps back. The door of Rarity’s inspiration room was wide open, and with a quick look inside, it was obvious that nopony was in there. “Rarity?” She called for her sister, but again, no reply was heard. ‘Where is she?’ Sweetie Belle thought in confusion and worry. She looked down the hall, at the door in front of her own room. Her palm met her forehead. ‘Duh, her bedroom.’ “Rarity, I’m back.” Sweetie said as she walked into her own room, not bothering to close it as she would be out in a moment. She searched in her wardrobe, taking out her pajamas, a towel and some clean underwear before stripping off. She was in the process of removing her panties when a loud noise of a door slamming closed startled her. Sweetie jumped, looking back. “Rarity?” She asked worriedly, the noise had come from her sister’s bedroom. Using her magic, she took her towel and wrapped it around herself before exiting her room. “Rarity.” She called out, placing a hand over the door’s surface. “Are you alright?” Again, there was no reply from her sister. This caused Sweetie Belle to grow worried. She tried to turn the knob, but it was locked. “Rarity!” She said louder than before while knocking on the door, afraid that something had happened to Rarity. Her horn glowed with magic, intending to use it to force the door open. “I’m fine, Sweetie.” The magic dissipated the moment she heard the muffled voice of her sister. She relaxed a bit, but was still a bit worried. “Is something wrong, sis?” “... No. I-I’m fine.” It didn’t sound like that. “Can I come in?” “No!” Rarity said with force. “Sis, are you really alright?” “... I’m not feeling well, Sweetie. I just-” “Are you sick?” Sweetie interrupted. “I can go and get you something. Some food maybe?” “I’m fine, Sweetie. I just need to rest.” “Sis, if you aren’t feeling well then just let me in and-” “I’m fine, Sweetie Belle!” Rarity yelled, causing Sweetie to take a step back. It was silent for a moment before Rarity talked again. “I’m fine, really. I just need a night of sleep.” “I…” “I… Alright, sis. If you need something, I...” Rarity listened as her sister walked away. She remained in place, sitting on the floor with her back against the door, her cheeks warmer than they should be. She hadn’t been prepared for it. The moment she opened the door, she could feel how her nose was filled with the fruity mix and the arousal from this afternoon flooded back into her body. The image of her sister bending over, removing her underwear while exposing herself to Rarity… That’s not what she needed right now. Rarity drowned her face in her palms. Her self control had slipped this afternoon. She didn’t know how, but she had managed to stop herself from masturbating while thinking about her sister at the last second. She pulled a literal miracle, when she had thrown Sweetie’s shirt back in the laundry basket and had fled from the scene, escaping right away towards her personal bathroom. How could the thought of pleasuring herself while thinking of Sweetie even cross her mind? A long, cold shower helped, one that washed away those thoughts, cleared her mind and helped her start fresh. Her second chance to be stronger. It had turned out to be a waste. Just when she had finished it, she had to heard her sister calling for her. She had to open the door to such… tempting beauty. Rarity’s hand trailed down. She was currently wearing nothing but her dressing gown, a piece of cloth that allowed her hand easy access to her nether region. She ran her middle finger over the lips of her pussy few times, each stroke making her sex warmer. The other hand moved freely over her chest, occasionally touching the slowly hardening nipples under the silky fabric. Rarity hummed in pleasure, her mind filled with the fresh image of her sister’s naked body. Two more fingers joined her index in rubbing her vulva. The three digits slowly became wet, covered in Rarity’s arousal. She stopped her work to undo the belt of her gown while her other hand kept massaging her left breast, pinching her nipple occasionally, sending shudders of pleasure through her body. Her nipples where one of the most sensitive parts of her body. Her mind decided to add one more pony. The naked Sweetie Belle was approached from behind by an alabaster unicorn. Rarity closed her eyes and let her imagination and desire run free. In a swift motion, Rarity wrapped her arms around Sweetie’s waist, pushing her slender body into her own, her lips  touching hungrily to the younger pony’s neck. Sweetie Belle hummed in pleasure, tilting her head Moans escaped her one by one as Rarity’s lips - her sister’s lips, kept exploring every inch of her neck. Rarity guided both of them to Sweetie’s bed, bending her sister over, leaving her rear in display. With one hand, she moved the silky tail of her sister to the side, allowing herself a clear view of her sister’s sex. The lips partly open in arousal, inviting Rarity to explore. She would breath deeply, and the smell would be sweeter than any fruit there has ever existed. Rarity licked her middle and ring finger, coating them with her saliva before lowering the hand to where it was supposed to be. The two fingers found their way to Rarity’s entrance, encountering little resistance before penetrating the mare. Rarity got closer, her tongue out, ready to have a taste of her sister. She would start from the little love button and lick her way to the dock. Sweetie’s moans of pleasure fueled Rarity’s actions, she stopped her tongue mid lick before thrusting it inside her sister, reaching as deep as she could, wriggling it around, her sister’s sweet nectar trickling down her chin, landing on her exposed tits. She could hear her sister’s excitement, but she wanted more. She pulled back, running her  tongue over her outer lips one last time and locked her eyes on her next target. She wrapped her sister’s clit between her lips. Rarity’s right hand hastened its pace, increasing her own pleasure. Sweetie was becoming more vocal, her legs slowly losing their strength as her sister greedily sucked her love button. “Rarity...” Rarity’s eyes shot wide open, surprised by her sister calling her again. Her left hand shot up to her mouth to muffle any kind of sound that could come out from it while the right one kept doing its job on her core. Sweetie talked again, but Rarity didn’t pay attention to what she said Knowing that her sister was right behind this door, so close to her while she was so close to finishing. It sent a wave of pleasure all over her body, increasing her sensitivity. She arched her back against the door, her fingers moving furiously in and out of her vagina. “Rarity?” In Rarity’s mind, Sweetie’s words morphed into cries of pleasure . She bit her lip, using her left hand moving away to play with her breasts. She could feel her orgasm close, her pleasure reaching levels that she rarely experienced. Rarity came hard, with her fingers deep inside her, a shuddering sensation running all over her body and a low groan the only sound escaping her lips. Complete and utter bliss. Rarity kept her hands in place, their movement at a gentler pace, riding the waves of pleasure. Rarity managed to hear her sister mumbling something about falling asleep, followed by steps moving away. Rarity remained there, sitting on the floor, trying not to think of what she had just done. She looked down, at her hand covered in her juices. A sigh escaped her before she stood up and moved to the bathroom. She washed her hands and splashed some water on her face. Her eyes looked at the reflection in the mirror. ‘You did it… You said you wouldn’t… You swore that you wouldn’t do it!’ Rarity’s sight blurred as tears filled her eyes. ‘Even worst… you enjoyed it… It excited you more than anything… Thinking about Sweetie like that… What’s wrong with you?!… What’s wrong with me?!’ The tears ran free, and she wiped them with the back of her hand. ‘Do you even regret what you just did?’ The thoughts of what just happened kept swarming in her mind for a long time, as she struggled to fall asleep, the mental picture of the horrible, immoral, incredibly arousing act she has imagined kept hitting her no matter how hard she strained to suppress them. Rarity groaned, hiding her face on the pillow from her burning shame. Even as she woke up, the first thing that came to her mind was the image of her sister naked, moaning, begging, and no matter how she would try to deny it, it still aroused her. She sighed,  hoping she would have the strength to ignore it for another day. She left her bed and started getting ready for the day, starting with a shower which she hoped would only consist of cleaning herself and nothing else. After drying herself and styling her mane, Rarity put on some comfortable clothes and was ready to leave her bedroom. She was cautious, opening her door slowly, relieved, yet slightly disappointed, to find that there was no naked sister on the other side. A quick trip downstairs and Rarity could hear the usual humming of her sister, just like every other morning. She managed one step inside the kitchen before stopping dead in her track. Her heart rate hastening and her face warming up when her eyes landed on the beautiful mare that was sitting on the table. Rarity couldn’t help but stand still while looking at her sister drink hot chocolate while reading something in a magazine for who knows how long. The scent of fruits barely registered in her mind. Sweetie finally noticed the presence of someone else in the kitchen, lowering the mug and paper before flashing a big smile to her big sister. Rarity couldn’t help but divert her gaze away from her sister’s. It was awkward. She couldn’t look at her directly without thinking about last night. “Good morning, Rarity! How are you doing? Feeling better than yesterday?” Rarity looked up for a second before looking away. “W-what?” She inquired, getting closer to the table and taking a sit. Sweetie frowned. “You told me yesterday that you weren’t feeling fine.” “Oh, right, right. I just… I woke feeling so good this morning that I forgot about yesterday.” She said, following it with an awkward laugh. It would be impossible for her to forget anything about yesterday any time soon. “That’s... good to hear.” Sweetie said, eyeing her sister. “You know you can talk to me, right? If there’s something bothering you...” She placed a hand over Rarity’s. “I was really worried yesterday.” Rarity pulled one of Fluttershy’s tricks, hiding behind her mane to cover her blush. “I’m fine.” She pulled her hand away from her sister’s. “Alright.” Sweetie stood and took the dirty dishes to the sink. “I left you some chocolate, but I didn’t make any breakfast. Sorry.” “It’s no problem, I can make some myself.” “Well, I gotta leave now. Have to go meet the band and ask for help moving the amps to Diamond’s home.” Sweetie rounded the table and stood next to Rarity. “Bye, sis.” She said, leaning forward and pecking her sister’s cheek quickly. “Have a good day!” The front door of the boutique opened and closed, leaving Rarity alone. The mare remained seated, her forehead resting on the table and a hand on the cheek that had just been kissed. Had that small kiss really sent shivers down her spine and covered her whole body in goosebumps just a moment ago? Since yesterday, Rarity had realized that she was dealing with some complicated feelings towards her sister, but for them to reach this extent... ‘Oh Celestia. What am I going to do? It just keeps growing. This… this can’t continue. I have to do something. I have to get her out of my mind before I mess things up really bad.’ > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity looked at herself in the mirror, smiling happily at what she saw. Magnificent, that’s how she looked, wearing her deep V neck white blouse that allowed just the appropriate amount of her bust to show and a pair of tight black jeans that helped her accentuate her derriere’s shape. Her mane was as perfect as always, now the only thing left to do was to apply her makeup and she would be ready to go to the party. Was this the right thing to do? Wasn’t this unfair to Spike? Getting all dolled up to impress him? In a different circumstance, it wouldn't be a problem, but today, she was doing it for the wrong reason. She was taking advantage of the feelings the drake had for her, and it was just so she could get her mind off her sister. She would try to replace the recipient of her feelings to someone who wasn’t considered wrong to feel this way, but start a relationship with someone whom she just saw as a friend and nothing else for that? Well, most of the relationships started as friends, blossoming into something more with some time and effort. ‘I mean, Spike is such a gentledrake.’ Rarity thought as she applied her lipstick. ‘He is smart, honest and hardworking. He would make happy any mare. I know that if I just give him a chance, we could become something.’ She thought, ignoring that tugging in her heart that was screaming that Spike wasn’t the one she wanted. She wanted Swee- “Perfect!” Rarity exclaimed, looking more than pleased with her image. She stood from her vanity desk, organizing her makeup products with a quick spell. She left her room and head for the first floor. A quick glance to the clock on the wall informed her that it was a little over four o’clock. Like always, It had taken her a long time to get ready, and now she was running fashionably late. ‘Well, Spike’s train arrives at half past four, so I still have time.’ One last look at herself in one of the boutique’s mirrors before leaving for the party. Rarity was halfway to the castle when she heard a faint but familiar raspy voice calling her name. Knowing what was about to happen, Rarity used her magic to generate a small magic barrier in front of her. Right after the the spell was in place, a strong wind current blew in her direction as a cyan pegasus landed extremely close from the unicorn. “Hey, Rares.” Rainbow Dash greeted, pushing her flight goggles to the top of her head. “Looking good.” Rainbow said, taking a good look at her friend. Rarity chuckled, cutting the magic supply on the barrier, making it disappear. “Thank you, Rainbow. You look… “awesome”.” Rarity complimented back, examining Rainbow’s clothing. She was wearing her Wonderbolts Jacket over a white top and brown baggy pants. “I know.” She answered cheekily. “How have you been?” “I have been… fine.” Rarity said with hesitation. Rainbow looked at Rarity with a lifted brow. “Fine? Is something wrong?” Rarity shook her head, flashing one of her best fake smiles at the pegasus. “Not at all, darling. I have just been having a few tiresome days with some big orders, the usual.” Rarity lied, resuming her walk to the castle with Rainbow right along her side. “Well, congratulations.” Rainbow said, prompting the unicorn to look at her companion with a confused look. “Big orders mean that your clothes are as awesome as ever.” Rarity nodded. “Thank you, Rainbow Dash.” She looked forward, the castle’s door just a few meters away from them. Reaching the entrance, Rarity knocked on the door before looking at her friend. “And what about you? Has something exciting happened lately with the Wonderbolts?” “Nah, the same as always. Training most of the time, with some new routines practice mixed in it.” Rainbow paused for a second, looking up to the sky. “Spitfire did say recently that she would be giving us some news next week.” “I hope they are good news.” Rarity managed to say just before the door was opened. Before either could react, a pair of hands popped out from inside and quickly dragged both mares into the castle. “Rarity! Rainbow!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed while holding both mares in a tight hug. The Pink pony was wearing a two piece pink dress. “H-hey, Pin-Pinkie.” Both mares answered with difficulty due to the strength the pink mare was applying to the hug. “I’m so glad you two are here early!” Pinkie said before releasing her friends from the hug. “There are still a few things I need to finish for the party and I could use a bit of help.” She said as she jumped merrily up the hall. “Sure.” Rainbow breathed deeply before moving after the pink pony, the unicorn following shortly after. “So we are the first ones here?” “Yep! Well, besides me, obviously.” “And where are Twilight and Starlight?” Rainbow asked. “Twilight left not too long ago to wait for Spike at the train station. And Starlight has been in the human world for a few weeks now.” Pinkie turned around, looking at her friends with a mischievous smile. “She keeps saying that she finds the human world very interesting, but I think she’s more interested in somepony.” Rainbow mirrored Pinkie’s smile. “Really?” “Really.” Pinkie then turned around and continued jumping. “I’ll tell you more later. Right now I should really finish decorating everything.” Rainbow helped Pinkie decorating, placing streamers and balloons in high places that the party pony couldn’t reach while Rarity used her magic to move a giant cake from the kitchen to the room where the party would be held. Shortly after, a knock was heard from the entrance. “I’ll get it.” Rarity said, quickly leaving the room and down the hall. “Howdy, Rarity!” Greeted Applejack with a big smile, carrying two barrels of what the unicorn suspected was cider on her shoulders. She was wearing her usual stetson, a worn out jacket over a checkered red shirt and tight jeans. “Hello, Applejack. It’s good to see the party will have some top quality beverage.” “Yup, Ah brought the best Apple and hard cider we had in stock.” “Good to hear that. Do you need help carrying those inside?” “Nah, Ah can with this. But could ya help Fluttershy back there?” Rarity leaned to the side to look past the earth pony. Behind the country mare was a yellow pegasus who was breathing heavily, sitting on the ground and leaning her body against a third barrel. The mare looked beautiful in her green summer dress. “Of course.” The unicorn stepped aside, allowing entrance to the country pony before stepping outside to help the caretaker. Fluttershy squeaked in surprise as she felt the barrel next to her move. She looked at it, the barrel was now floating a few centimeters over the ground, surrounded by blue aura. “Wow, this is heavy. I can’t believe Applejack was carrying those two like nothing.” Rarity said as she extended a hand to help Fluttershy up. “T-thank you.” Fluttershy said, accepting Rarity’s hand with a smile. The unicorn then walked inside, the barrel floating next to her and Fluttershy walking behind, making their way to where the others were. Reaching the party room, Rarity lowered the barrel next to the other two while Fluttershy greeted the other ponies inside. Shortly after, Applejack showed up next to the yellow pegasus, offering her a glass of water. “Is this good or would you prefer some cider?” Fluttershy smiled, shaking her head. “Water is fine.” She said, taking the glass. Applejack took Fluttershy’s hand and guided her to the chairs located on the back of the room. She sat down, pulling fluttershy down to sit on her lap. “Thank you again for the help. As promised, here is your reward.” Applejack whispered before kissing Fluttershy’s cheek. Fluttershy smiled, her cheeks turning pink. “That wasn’t the reward I wanted.” “It wasn’t?” Fluttershy shook her head. “Nope.” She said before moving her face closer to Applejack’s, capturing her lips with her own. A moment later, Fluttershy pulled back, a huge grin on her face. “That is the reward I wanted.” “And is it enough? Mah strong girl did such a good work that Ah could give her one more reward.” Fluttershy hummed. “I would like that.” From the side, Rarity had looked the whole exchange, a small smile on her face, happy for her two friend who had been together for almost three years now. As she looked at them, she couldn’t help but imagining sharing small moments like that with Sweetie Bel– Rarity shook her head, dispelling those absurd images from her mind. ‘You can’t think like that! Stop thinking about her!’ She thought angrily. ‘Just… just stick to the plan. Spike is the better option here. If everything goes perfectly, then you won’t have to–’ “Everypony get ready!” Pinkie shouted from the center of the room, her hand lifted up to the roof, pointing at a little green light that floated in circles over the room. “That’s Twilight’s signal! She will be here soon with Spike!” They all moved closer to the doors of the room. Rarity stood behind Rainbow and Pinkie, fidgeting in place as she couldn’t help but feel really nervous, or worried, or both, or whatever this weird mix of emotions in her chest was. She ignored it. Everypony was quiet for a moment, waiting until the handle of the door was covered by a purple glow. The doors shot wide open, and five voices shouted “Surprise!” at the same time. Spike stood at the door with wide eyes, completely surprised. Next to him, to his right, stood Twilight, looking at the dragon with a warm smile. To his left stood a cyan dragon that Rarity could swear she had seen before. “Whoaa!!! Spike exclaimed, looking around the room in amazement. “This is amazing! Thank you everypony!” Spike said, walking around to properly greet each of the girls. “It’s good to see you again, Spike.” Rainbow sai, moving closer to the dragon. She whistled as she looked him from head to toes. “Damn, you have grown a lot since I last saw you. You are a head taller than me!” She said, extending her arms to give him a hug. Spike shrugged before accepting the hug. “I’m still small compared to the other dragons out there.” Rainbow pulled back, looking behind Spike. “Speaking of other dragons, who’s your friend?” Spike looked back with a goofy smile. “Everypony, let me introduce you to someone special!” Spike walked to the other dragon, grabbing her hand and gently guiding her to the center of the group. “This is my girlfriend, Ember.” The girls happily greeted the dragoness, asking her all kind of questions. From where she was from to how she had gotten together with Spike. As the group chatted, there was one pony that stood away from the others. The hours had passed quickly for everyone as they enjoyed the party. It had started with Spike telling them all about his trip, then moving to play some games that Pinkie had brought for the occasion. They all laughed like crazy as they played ‘Cards against Ponykind’. They had then moved to break a piñata that nopony had noticed earlier. The party had quieted a bit in the last hour. The two dragons were currently the only ones dancing to the slow music that was filling the room. Two pegasus and a pink earth pony were standing near the snack table, chatting merrily between them. The orange earth pony was sitting on the other side of the room, talking quietly with the lavender alicorn. The Applejack had made a pause in her talk, taking a long look at Fluttershy on the other side before pulling a little black box out from her worn out jacket. She opened it, causing Twilight to gasp. “Ah have been thinking a lot about this for some time now,” Applejack said, looking down at the ring inside the box. “Y-you are going to propose to Fluttershy?” Twilight asked, doing little, excited jumps on her seat. Applejack nodded with a smile. “That’s the plan, but not today. Ah’m still trying to find the right moment to ask her. Ah just...” Her smile banished as she closed the box. Twilight looked worriedly at her friend. “What’s wrong, Applejack?” She asked, placing a hand on the mare’s shoulder. “Ah'm… Ah'm a bit scared of asking her. This is… this is big, really big. Ah want to spend the rest of mah life with her. She makes me really happy.” Applejack rubbed her neck. “Do you… do you think Ah’m good enough fer her?” “Applejack,” Twilight started, waiting for her friend to look at her before continuing. “I’m sorry for saying this but maybe...” She paused again, examining her friends face as it gained a dejected expression. “That’s the stupidest question you have ever asked.” Applejack’s face turned into a frown. “What?” “Applejack, you’re more than good enough for her. You’re perfect, just like she’s for you.” “But Ah…” “Applejack, seriously, you are worried about nothing.” “But Ah…” “No buts! Now, get out there and ask Fluttershy if she wants to dance.” “But Ah…” Applejack was silenced by a purple magic covering her mouth, then moving to her back and pushing out of her seat and to the middle of the room. Applejack looked back at Twilight, who was waving her away. The earth pony smiled, mumbling a ‘thank you’ and placing the box back in her pocket before walking towards the snack table. “Would the pretty mare like to have a dance with me?” Applejack said as she got close to her three friends, extending a hand to her marefriend. Fluttershy smiled warmly, the answer at the tip of her tongue. “I–” “I would love to!” Pinkie shouted, grabbing Applejack’s arm and dragging her to the dance floor. “What? Pinkie, Ah was– Whoa Nelly!” Applejack shouted as Pinkie started spinning her around. Twilight looked happily at the scene. Applejack trying to keep up with Pinkie’s energy, Rainbow and Fluttershy laughing and cheering the other two, while Spike and Ember seemed to be completely oblivious to the new pair in the dance floor, as they continued with their dance. Twilight brows knitted into a frown as she looked around. There was one pony missing, and now that she thought about it, it had been some time since she had last seen her. Twilight stood up and left the room quietly to search for her missing friend. It didn’t took long for the alicorn, using her magic to cast a scanning spell over the whole castle. The spell informed her of eight entities in the castle. Six of them were in the room she had just left, one was Twilight who stood outside the room. The remaining one was one floor above, on the balcony. Twilight was quick on the move, dashing up the stairs, reaching the doors of the balcony shortly after. She opened them slowly, taking a moment to look at her friend, who had her back towards her. “Rarity?” Twilight called, walking closer. “Is everything alright?” The mare didn’t answer, but the twitch of her ears indicated that she had heard her. Twilight stood next to her, looking out over the roofs of Ponyville, then up to the starry sky, before looking at the white unicorn. “Rari–” “D-do you know why I dress-dressed like this today?” Rarity said, stammering a little, still not looking at Twilight. The alicorn looked down at Rarity’s hands. She was holding a glass that was most likely filled with hard cider. “Uhmm, because you like looking your best?” “Of course, but today I wa-wanted to look my best for someone in spa-specific.” Twilight frowned. She bit her lower lip for a second before speaking what was in her mind. “Are you talking about Sweet–” “No…” Rarity quietly interrupted as she shaked her head. “No, no, I… This was act-actually for Spike.” Twilight’s brow shot up in surprise. “For Spike?” Rarity nodded, taking swig from her glass of cider before continuing. “I wan-wanted to give him a…” Rarity fell silent, her face scrunching up. “I was g-going to use him.” Twilight’s eyes widened. “What? Rarity, what do you mean by that?” She asked, anger slowly building inside of her from what the other mare was saying. “I was going to use him, Twilight!” Rarity shouted, still not looking at the alicorn. “Take advantage of his feelings for me so that I could get her out of my mind!” Twilight’s anger disappeared, turning into worry. “G-get her out of…” She trailed off. “Dress provocatively, start a talk with him, laugh at his jokes of whatever. That was the plan.” Rarity drank more cider. “Do you know what I felt when he said that Ember was his girlfriend?” Rarity could see Twilight shaking her head from the corner of her eye. “I felt relief.” “What?” “I… I was forcing myself to go through with this, but when I saw Spike together with Ember… I felt happy for him. He found someone that truly returns his feelings… And I was also relieved because…” Rarity frowned, lifting her glass to her mouth once again, but Twilight stopped her. Rarity finally looked at Twilight. “Why did you felt relieved...” Rarity looked down, her body shaking slightly. “I realised something. I didn’t want Spike, or any other pony… There’s only one pony I want... And that pony is my FUCKING SISTER!” Rarity moved one hand back, taking impulse before throwing her almost empty glass out into the night. If Twilight hadn’t been too stunned by Rarity’s confession, she would have used her magic to grab the glass. “Whenever I saw Applejack and Fluttershy together, or Spike and Ember, I couldn’t help but Imagine myself being all lovey dovey with Sweetie!” Rarity continued, kneeling down and hugging her legs. “I can’t stop thinking about her. I even dream about her. You know what I did yesterday?” Rarity asked, looking up at Twilight. “I masturbated while fantasizing about having sex with Sweetie, and I had the best orgasm of my life!” Rarity looked back over the town’s rooftops, not seeing how Twilight’s face became as red as Big Mac’s coat. “Do you…” Rarity mumbled, ears folded back. “Do you think Sweetie Belle would be interested?” “W-what?!” Rarity tightened her hold on her legs. “Do you think Sweetie Belle would like to be in a relationship with me?” “Rarity… You can’t… You can’t seriously even be considering that!” Rarity scowled at Twilight. “And why not?” She stood, getting in front of the princess. “Have you forgotten that I have a spell inside of me that pointed her as my perfect match? My true love!” Twilight stepped back. “Rarity, you can’t let a stupid spell dictate who you should be with!” “But don’t you understand? I’m not letting anything tell me anything… I really want Sweetie. I… I feel this love for her inside me. The spell merely pointed me in the right direction… My love for her has always been a little stronger than the normal.” Twilight shook her head. “Rarity, you obviously have had way too much cider. If you weren’t this drunk, you wouldn’t say this things.” “But these feelings would still be there, just like they have always been! You just… you just don’t understand.” Rarity then walked to the door, wobbling a little. “Why am I even talking to you about this? The only opinion I want is Sweetie’s… I’m going home.” Twilight rushed after her friend. “Wait, wait, Rarity! You can’t do that!” She said, grabbing her friend’s wrist. Rarity pulled away from the other mare. “I’m going home! I’m tired of ignoring what I feel! I’m going to tell her everything!” Rarity said, moving a little faster down the hall. Twilight groaned. She couldn’t let her friend run back home drunk. Rarity would ruin her relationship with Sweetie forever. Twilight breathed deeply, making a quick decision that she was sure Rarity would thank her for. She hit Rarity on the back with a flash of magic, causing the ivory mare to fall forward. Twilight was quick enough to catch her before she hit the floor. The slumber spell had done it’s job, Rarity would be asleep for at least ten hours. Twilight would help her friend get home, but she wouldn’t risk Rarity talking to Sweetie Belle like this. If the mare really wanted to… act according to those feelings, then she could do it after she had woken up and was no longer drunk. With as much care as she could, Twilight lifted Rarity with her magic. She couldn’t Teleport them to Rarity’s house. It could be dangerous to teleport an unconscious pony, so she would have to carry her all the way to her home. Twilight hummed as she walked the empty streets of Ponyville. She had excused herself with the others before leaving the castle. A quick little lie of why she was carrying an unconscious Rarity was enough for her friends as they continued to enjoy the party. As Twilight walked, she couldn’t help but think about her unconscious friend and the situation she was currently into. Would Rarity really pursue a relationship with Sweetie? Twilight was worried about that. How would Sweetie Belle react to that. The most likely scenario, Sweetie Belle would be completely weirded out by her older sister, and their relationship would be severely damaged forever. But… Rarity’s perfect match, according to the spell, was Sweetie… So that meant that Sweetie’s perfect match was Rarity. Was there a possibility of Sweetie returning Rarity’s feelings? Twilight had been against such a thing a moment ago, when talking with Rarity. But now that she had listened to Rarity, how earnest she had sounded about the whole thing, and having thought a bit more about it, she was… hopeful for Rarity? This could make both of them really happy. They BOTH could make each other happy, just like the couples who had found their perfect match hundreds of years ago. One more thing was that they both were females. No risk of procuring offsprings with genetic anomalies, so it was okay if they started a relationship together… maybe? But them being together was something that wouldn’t happen if Sweetie didn’t return Rarity’s feelings, something she found hard to be possible. Well, whatever happened, she would be there for Rarity, either to help her in a bad time or celebrate a good one. It didn’t take much longer for Twilight to reach the boutique. The lights were shining through the windows, meaning that Sweetie Belle was home. Twilight knocked on the door and waited. “Just a moment!” Came the voice of Sweetie Belle. About twenty seconds later, hoofsteps could be heard nearing the entrance. The door opened, revealing a smiling Sweetie Belle. The smile banished when she saw her unconscious sister. “Oh, Celestia! What happened to Rarity.” Sweetie asked, moving closer to her sister. “Don’t worry, Sweetie Belle.” Twilight said, placing a hand on Sweetie’s shoulder and flashing her a smile. “Rarity had a little drink contest with Rainbow Dash. She fell asleep after that, so I decided to bring her home.” Sweetie sighed in relief. “Oh, thank Celestia.” She said, moving closer to grab her sister. “Oh, I can carry her up to her room.” “There’s no need for that, Twilight. I can get her there by myself.” Sweetie said, wrapping her sister with her own magic, and helping herself with both hands as she wasn’t as strong with magic as Twilight. “You left the party to bring her, right? You should hurry back and spend time with Spike. You haven’t seen him in a long time.” “Well… if you insist.” Twilight let Sweetie Take the full weight of her sister. “Okay, there you go. Uhmm, good night.” Twilight said, looking a bit worriedly at Rarity. “Don’t worry, I’ll take her to her bed right away.” Twilight nodded, slowly turning around and walking away. ‘I hope you don’t regret whatever decision you take tomorrow.’ She thought before igniting her horn and teleporting back to the castle. Sweetie closed the door and proceeded to carry her sister up the stairs. She hurried her pace as she felt the spell holding her sister slowly starting to weaken. She needed to practice her magic more. With care of not bumping her sister’s head against a wall, Sweetie finally reached the bed, flopping on the bed, with Rarity under her. She took a moment to catch her breath. She really needed to practice her magic more, Rarity would have easily carried her if she had been the one drunk. Placing her hands at each side of her sister, Sweetie pushed herself up. She took her time, staying on top of her sister as she looked her from her horn to her hooves. “More beautiful than Celestia.” Whispered Sweetie, lifting a hand and brushing her sister’s mane away from her face. Her eyes focused on those pink lips, causing her to lick her own. Her body moved on its own, closing her eyes as her face got closer to her sister’s. Her heartbeat quickened as she felt Rarity’s breath caress her lips. She would finally fulfil one of her dreams, just a little more and she would know how those lips felt against her own. She made contact, electricity running down her spine. She remained there, enjoying the moment as much as she could. There would more likely never be another opportunity like this in the future. She didn’t want to, but she forced herself to pull away from the kiss. There were so much more things she wanted to do, but she wouldn’t. She wasn’t going to take advantage of her sister in her current state. Feeling those lips had been more than enough. She caressed Rarity’s cheek for a moment, ignoring her urge to go for one more kiss. She pulled away in one quick motion and left the room. “If only I could tell you how much I love you…” > Chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sitting up on her bed, Sweetie Belle let out a moan as she lifted her arms and stretched her back. She let out a sigh, her arms coming down and her gaze looking at nothing in particular as her brain gave her a short summary of the events of the day before. It didn’t take long for her cheeks to gain some color an her lips to form a giddy smile. She dropped back on her bed, laying on her stomach a burying her face on her pillow as she squealed in delight. Yesterday had been an amazing day. She had the performance of her life during the party, managing to catch the eye of some big ponies that had attended. One in particular had given her his contact card. It was from one of the biggest records of Canterlot. That had been great. But it was far from the best part of the day. ‘I… I kissed her…’ Sweetie thought happily as she replayed the events of last night, but that happiness slowly subsided. She turned to lay on her back as she looked up at the ceiling. ‘I finally kissed Rarity… not how I had dreamed it would happen… but I did it.’ Four years. Four long years since Sweetie had realized that the feelings she had for her sister were a little different. Whenever Rarity hugged her or gave her a little peck, Sweetie couldn’t help but yearn for more. For things to be a bit more deep and passionate. She wanted for their relationship to turn into something more special than just that of sisters. The kiss she had stolen from Rarity would have to do as there was no chance for more than that ever happening. Sweetie Belle frowned. Now that she thought about it, Sweetie wasn’t happy with her actions last night. She had practically taken advantage of Rarity’s state of inebriation to fulfill one of her many desires. ‘But it would have never happened if I hadn’t taken that opportunity. Rarity just… she would never look my way.’ She sighed. No use regretting it now. The only thing left to do was to cherish the memory. She would forever remember the warm feeling of Rarity’s body against her own. She would remember the touch of her Rarity’s lips against her own, and the electrifying sensation that coursed her body at that moment. ‘But I sure wish I can forget the strong smell of alcohol. Rarity drank way too much.’ She thought, laughing lightly. That wasn’t true. She would remember every last one of the details forever. Turning her head and looking at the clock on the wall, Sweetie decided that it was time to get out of bed. She could get an early start and make a nice breakfast for Rarity. She should also have a glass of water and a bit of coffee to help Rarity with what was sure to be a huge hangover. Pushing herself up and not bothering to change her shorts and loose shirt, Sweetie walked out of the room and towards the first floor as she hummed the song she had sung yesterday. ‘I’ll make sure to tell Rarity all about it later. She’ll be so happy for me.’ She thought as she entered the kitchen. Sweetie Belle managed to steps before halting her advance as she was surprised to find the room hadn’t been unoccupied. Right there, on the table in the middle of the kitchen sat the most beautiful mare of Equestria. The one who was capable of making her feel at ease with only her voice. The mare that made everything look more dazzling and special. The white mare was wearing a purple robe, sitting with her back to the entrance, and her hands cradling what Sweetie could only guess was a cup of coffee. Sweetie was a little sad at not being able to tend her sister, but remained motivated as she also noticed that rarity hadn’t made breakfast yet, so she could still prepare something delicious for Rarity… Something that would make her sister flash her that smile that always made her heart skip a beat. “Good morning, Rarity!” Sweetie Happily greeted as she made her way to the stove. Rarity jumped slightly, looking at Sweetie for a few seconds before looking back at her coffee. “Morning,” came the barely hearable answer. Sweetie looked at her sister with a lifted brow, but didn’t gave it to much importance. Rarity has most likely a hangover after all. “So… How was Spike’s party yesterday?” She asked as she pulled out a pan from under the sink. “It was nice.” Sweetie Belle waited a moment for her sister to elaborate more on this, but after the silence continued for several seconds, she decided to continue the conversation herself. “That’s great. Wish I had been there to greet Spike, but if I had been there then I would have missed something amazing yesterday!” Sweetie said excitedly, keeping quiet immediately after so Rarity could ask her about that “something amazing”. Sweetie looked back over her shoulder, her excitement slowly leaving her as she noticed the frown on Rarity’s face. She left what she was doing and sat in front of her sister. “Rarity, is something the matter?” Sweetie asked worriedly. Rarity didn’t look up, deciding instead to look down and away from Sweetie Belle. Hangover or no, this behaviour was completely weird… and it was making Sweetie feel nervous. “Rarity… Are you okay? If you aren’t feeling alright then I could–” “Sweetie,” Rarity interrupted her. The older unicorn took a deep breath, placing her coffee on the table, but still refusing to look at Sweetie Belle. The seconds passed, but just before Sweetie could say something, Rarity continued. “You should move out.” “W-what? I-I don’t...” Sweetie trailed off, her voice barely above a whisper. ‘Move out? Does she mean that I… I have to… no...’ “Go back to live with mom and dad,” Rarity said, still not looking at her sister. Sweetie stood up so quickly that she knocked back the chair. “Why?! I… I don’t understand!” Sweetie belle exclaimed, yet Rarity did not look at her. Sweetie felt a lump form in her throat. “Rarity! You… you want me to leave? Please, I just… I don’t know what’s going on. Where did this come from? I… What did I do?” She asked desperately. ‘She knows,’ came the thought to the front of her mind, but she pushed it away. Tears had started forming on the corner of her eyes. “Rarity…” Rarity balled her hands, still not looking up, then spoke in a low tone. “It would be better if you kept your distance from me.” Sweetie Belle could feel her legs becoming weak, no longer able to support herself. She dropped to the floor, feeling lost to her surroundings, and a pressure over her chest. ‘She… she knows. She knows. She knows what I really feel for her.’ Tears ran down Sweeties cheek as that thought ran again and again in her mind. Rarity hadn’t been completely unconscious last night. She knew what happened. She knew about the kiss. She… “If only I could tell you how much I love you…” ‘She heard me… She knows I’m in love with her and… She’s disgusted… She hates me… Rarity hates me…’ Sweetie couldn’t control herself. She lifted her hands to cover her face just before she began wailing. How had this happened? How had she ended up in this scenario? Her biggest fear. Her worst nightmare. Why did she do it? Why had she done it. She had completely screwed up. She had been weak and now the cat was out of the bag. She should have just left her sister alone. That kiss costed her her sister. She would lose her forever. It didn’t take long for a hand to land on Sweetie’s shoulder. “Sweetie.” Sweetie looked up, and through teary eyes she saw her sister finally looking at her. She leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Rarity’s legs. “I’m sorry! I’m s-sorry!” Sweetie exclaimed, her face buried against Rarity’s navel. “Don’t h-hate me!” “Sweetie!” Rarity exclaimed alarmed. “What… what are you–” “I’m sorry. I won’t do it ever again, I promise. I’m sorry I kis-kissed you… I… I couldn’t… I’ll try to get over you… Just don’t push me away… I don’t know w-what I would do if y-you... I’ll stop this… this disgusting feelings...” She couldn’t keep talking, she just continued her wailing, holding for dear life to her sister, afraid that if she let go just a little she would never be able to hold her again. The time passed, at least half an hour, with neither sister moving from their position. Sweetie’s cries were the only thing that could be heard, but those had gradually faded away. The young mare still clung to her sister, her grief still pouring out of her body, but not as loudly as before. Sweetie felt a hand caressing her head, tempting her to look up. Rarity was looking down at her with what seemed to be a concerned expression. “Rarity,” Sweetie started, her voice hoarse from all the crying. “Please–” Rarity promptly shushed her, her hand not stopping it’s gentle movement on the younger unicorn’s head. “Before you say anything else, I want you to tell me, as clearly as possible, what do you think of me… how do you feel about me.” Sweetie didn’t was at lost at that request. She looked down, unsure of what to do. She was scared of openly stating her feelings, as it would be like twisting the knife. But she did. She strengthened her grip on Rarity’s robe as she spoke. “I… You are the most wonderful and beautiful mare I know… and I couldn’t help it… I couldn’t help f-falling…” her hands trembled, but she pushed forward. “I couldn’t help falling in love with you! I’m sorry for turning out to be such a weirdo who–” “That’s enough,” Rarity interrupted her gently. “I heard what I needed.” Lifting her hand from Sweetie’s head, she moved it to her little sister’s hand, forcing it to let go of the robe. Sweetie closed her eyes and let out a choked sob and allowed her other hand to fall to her side, feeling defeated. She would let Rarity go… Keeping her hold onto her could only make things worse… After all, Rarity had told her to keep her distance. A hand over her cheek surprised Sweetie Belle. The young mare unconsciously leaned against the warm touch, but felt afraid to open her eyes. “I’m sorry, Sweetie. What I said earlier… forget it. Stay with me,” Rarity said, whipping a few tears with her thumb. “I didn’t know… I really didn’t know… And I made you go through a very bad moment because of that. I’ll make it up to you.” Sweetie finally opened her eyes. Her sister's face was a mirror of her own, with tears flowing freely down Rarity’s cheeks. “R-Rarity...?” Rarity smiled warmly. “I love you too,” She said, bringing her face closer to Sweetie’s until their lips met. Both mares moved from the kitchen to the living room, making themselves comfortable on the sofa. Rarity was sitting at one side of tit, while Sweetie lay on it, her head pleasantly resting on Rarity’s lap. The younger mare was enjoying the feeling of her sister running her fingers through her hair as they spoke. “So… you really weren’t awake last night? You… you didn’t know I kissed you?” Rarity shook her head. “No… I really wish I had been conscious at that moment. It would have saved us a lot of tears.” Sweetie hummed. “Then… when you said that I should keep my distance from you… You didn’t mean it because...” “No… I said it because of me. I… I have been having a hard time keeping my desires in check. I felt that it would have been a matter of time before I gave in and tried something on you that would just… ruin everything.” Sweetie chuckled. “I know, right? Sometimes it was so hard to keep myself from spilling my feelings.” Sweetie sighed. “It was harder a few years ago, but it got easier to stay on control as time passed. It got harder again when I started living here full time, being able to see you wearing nothing but your underwear…” Sweetie Belle blushed and mumbled: “and a few times wearing nothing.” Rarity smiled. “I must applaud your self control then. Seeing my beauty in full display and not acting on your more primal urges?” Sweetie laughed. “It was extremely hard to stay on control.” Rarity remained quiet… thoughtful for a fews seconds. “So… A few years…? How long have you been feeling this way.” Sweetie knitted her brows as she thought. “I think it’s been a little over four years.” Sweetie looked up at her sister, a small smile adorning her face. “I wish I had known you felt the same way. I could have confessed a long time ago.” “…I think if you had asked me before, I might have reacted as bad as you feared. I… I just started to feel this way for you recently.” Sweetie sat up, turning to face her sister. “Really? I… For how long have you been…” “No more than a week.” Sweetie’s eyes widened. “I… Wow, that… just one week…” Sweetie looked forward, biting her lower lip. Rarity frowned as well, leaning against her sister and snaking an arm around her waist. “Hey… What’s wrong?” “It’s just been one week… It’s… its such a small amount of time, isn’t it?” Sweetie started, wringing her hands. “I mean… it took me two months to finally understand that what I felt for you was more than just sister love… I… What if you…” “You are afraid that what I feel might not turn out to be the same thing that you feel? That I might just realize this isn’t really what I want?” Sweetie hesitated, but then nodded. Rarity looked at her sister for a moment in complete silence. The mare placed a hand on her little sister’s shoulder and gently pushed her until Sweetie Belle was lying against the sofa arm. Rarity then straddled Sweetie’s hips, cupped her face with both hands and kissed her. The kiss was simple, yet perfectly capable of conveying Rarity’s emotions to the younger mare. Sweetie didn’t hesitate, quickly returning the kiss with all the passion she could. The kiss came to an end when Rarity pulled away. Her breath was labored and her face was flushed, just like her sister. “I’m a hundred percent sure that you are what I want.” She said, lowering her body to lay next to Sweetie. The younger mare moved a little so both of them could be more comfortable on the sofa. The older was on her side, with her arms wrapped around the younger one. “Rarity?” “Yes, Sweetie?” “What… I… are we like, together now? You know, like a couple?” Rarity moved a hand to brush a strand of hair off of Sweetie’s face before answering. “I don’t know… Is that what you want?” Sweetie looked straight in her sisters eyes. “I have dreamed thousands of times with being able to call you mine, so I would have to be crazy if I said no.” Rarity chuckled. “That’s good to hear, because that’s what I want too,” she said, pecking sweetie on the nose and holding her tighter. “Cool… that’s cool…” Sweetie said as she smiled dumbly. “You know, right now I can’t stop thinking about a certain song.” “Really? Which song.” “Uhmm, I think I’ll just sing it to you.” “Very well, I do love hearing you sing. Go ahead.” Sweetie took a moment, breathing in and out a few times before starting. ‘Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-chaka Ooga–’ Rarity’s laughter interrupted Sweetie’s song. “Oh Celestia! What kind of song is that? Or even better, why are you even thinking about a song like that right now?” Sweetie also laughed, happy that she had been able to make her sister laugh. She quickly managed to compose herself, feigning annoyance as she scolded her sister. “Rarity, don’t interrupt. I didn’t even got to the actual lyric!” “Sorry, sorry. I just…*chucke* I-I wasn’t expecting that,” she said, taking a deep breath to calm herself. Doing this made her notice something, prompting her to move her muzzle closer to Sweetie’s hair and inhaling deeply. She moved back and let out her breath. “Hmmm, you smell nice.” “Really? But I haven’t showered yet, and after yesterday’s party I doubt I smell that good.” Rarity hummed. “I like it… you smell like you.” Sweetie looked at her sister with a lifted brow. “Thanks?” Rarity just chuckled. “Sooo… can I continue with the song?” “Go ahead.” “And don’t interrupt this time,” Sweetie warned before inhaling. “I can't stop this feeling Deep inside of me Girl, you just don't realize What you do to me” “When you hold me In your arms so tight You let me know Everything's all right” “I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me” “Lips are sweet as candy It's taste stays on my mind Girl, you got me thirsty For another cup of wine” “Got a bug from you, girl But I don't need no cure I just stay affecting If I can for sure” “All the good love When we're all alone Keep it up girl Yeah, you turn me on” I'm hook–’ Rarity interrupted again, this time by placing her hand on Sweetie’s cheek and forcing her to meet her gaze before claiming those perfect lips. Sweetie accommodated herself so her body was now completely facing Rarity, her left arm snaking its way under Rarity’s side while placing the right hand on her sister’s hip. Feeling courageous, Sweetie Belle poked her sister’s lips with her tongue, asking to be allowed entrance. Rarity didn’t waste a second in opening her mouth, surprising Sweetie by meeting her tongue halfway, a moan from both mares signaling the beginning of the little dance. To Sweetie It was quite obvious that Rarity’s technique far surpassed her own, but to the older mare, the way her sister did it was just perfect. Sweetie moaned once again when the older mare’s left hand landed on her buttocks, happily caressing the round flesh. She decided to follow her sister’s example, moving her right hand downwards, traveling over the fabric of Rarity’s robe until there was no more. She was in direct contact with the warm and soft coat of Rarity’s thigh. She wanted more, moving her hand upwards, slipping it under the fabric and making its way to Rarity’s rear. She could feel her own lust quickly building up as she noticed that her sister wasn’t wearing underwear. Her hand roamed the zone greedily, but she wanted more, she needed more of Rarity. Both hands hastily found their way to the knot that kept Rarity’s robe in place. The task had turned out to be more difficult than she had expected, between her clumsy hands and Rarity’s tongue not letting her brain focus on the task, but she was slowly making progress. Sweetie felt a wave of excitement and anticipation when she finally managed to untangle both ends of the robe’s belt. “No, stop.” Rarity said, breaking the kiss and sitting up, tying the belt again. “W-what? Why?!” Sweetie asked desperately, worried that Rarity might have decided that she didn’t want to do it with her little sister after all. Rarity got off the sofa, turned around and kissed Sweetie again, effectively dissolving her worries. She then took two steps towards the stairs before looking over her shoulder at Sweetie. “I don’t want our first time to be on a sofa. I’ll be waiting for you in my bedroom… that if you still want to continue,” she winked, resuming her walk upstairs as she swished her hips and her tail moving along. Sweetie had stayed in place, enjoying the sensuous retreat of her sister until she was out of sight. Only when her sister had completely disappeared from view did Sweetie stood, giving chase after her sister. “Oh Celestia…” Sweetie said, eyes widening and her mouth agape as she took in the delicious sight that greeted her. Rarity was leaning on an arm, sitting on the middle of the bed with her robe nowhere to be seen. Sweetie Belle just gawked as her eyes roamed every single inch of her sister’s naked, ivory body, paying extra attention to those glorious, perfectly round white orbs that were Rarity’s breasts. Rarity chuckled at her sister’s reaction. “Sweetie, darling. Wouldn’t you prefer to come here with me instead of just standing there?” She said with half lidded eyes as she drew circles with Sweetie Belle merely nodding as she walked to the bed, finding a spot at the edge. “Sweetie, you’re still gawking.” Sweetie shook her head, blushing. “Sorry! It’s just…” Sweetie breathed in deeply, looking at her sister in the eyes. “Celestia, you are so beautiful.” Rarity blushed as well, a small smile appearing on her face as she played with a curl of her mane. “Thank you. I do take work hard to take care of my body.” “And it does show! You’ll have to excuse my Prench, but you are bucking hot.” Rarity laughed merrily, seeing that her sister had gone back to just stare at her body. Igniting her horn, Rarity used a spell to levitate Sweetie Belle, surprising the young one and pulling her out of the trance. Rarity lay on the bed on her back, her arms extended as she lowered her sister over her. Sweetie was stunned, not reacting until Rarity placed a hand behind her head and pulled her down for a kiss, one that prompted both mares to resume what they had started downstairs. The eagerness returned to Sweetie, and with it the desire to have more of Rarity. She moved her hand, placing her palm on Rarity’s hip, and slowly sliding it upwards, over her sister ribs, causing her to shudder. Sweetie smiled, breaking the kiss and moving to rarity’s jawline, her hand continuing its journey to the base of Rarity’s voluptuous boob. There was only one word that could describe that moment: Heavenly. Rarity moaned at the feeling of her sisters ministrations. Sweetie masaged the soft flesh as she continued kissing her sisters jaw and moving down to her neck, then to her collar bone and finally the sternum. She pulled back, taking a moment to look at Rarity’s hardened nipples as she licked her lips. Slowly, bringing her muzzle closer to the unoccupied tit, opening her mouth and extending her tongue, giving it a lick. “Ooooh, Sweetie!” Rarity exclaimed, inhaling sharply as she ran her fingers through Sweetie’s mane. Her nipples had always been a sensitive spot for her, something that Sweetie quickly noticed. Sweetie’s lips wrapped around it, tenderly suckling on it. Rarity’s moans increased in volume and frequency, encouraging Sweetie to continue the good work, while also significantly increasing her own arousal. It was exhilarating, being the one responsible of making Rarity feel this way, hearing her produce such alluring noises. More… More! She wanted to hear more of Rarity… She wanted to feel more of Rarity! Her free hand found its way to Rarity’s flat stomach, only touching the zone with the tip of her fingers, trailing down ever so slowly to Rarity’s mound, hesitating for just a second before going beyond that point. Sweetie’s fingers made contact with Rarity’s wet, warm sex. She ran two fingers up and down the length of Rarity’s lips, lifting her head from her sister’s breast to look at the mare’s face. Rarity looked right back, with strands of mane covering her face, her eyes brimming with love and adoration. Sweetie’s hand continued its work on Rarity’s genitalia, as she paid extra attention to every little twitch and reaction on her sister’s face, she wouldn’t miss anything. Sweetie Belle stopped the movements of her hand, the tips of her anular and middle finger right on Rarity’s entrance. She applied the slightest amount of pressure, plunging both digits deep inside her sister. “Aaaaahhhh…” Rarity utters as her eyes closed and her back arched. Sweetie waited a moment until her sister opened her eyes again, bringing a hand to Sweetie’s cheek and smiling. The younger mare didn’t need more than that to start the moving her fingers. Ever so slowly, Sweetie pulled out, feeling the inner walls of Rarity contracting, begging the intruders to stay. She then pushed them inside once again, just as slow. She kept like this for a moment, occasionally curling her fingers inside her sister, trying to reach different parts. Her rhythm slowly gained momentum, pumping in and out faster and faster. “Sweeeeeetieeeee!” Rarity moaned, shutting her eyes closed and wrapping her arms around Sweetie’s neck, bringing her down for a kiss. Sweetie didn’t let this stop her work, increasing her speed, feeling Rarity’s body trembling below her own. It was just a matter of time, just a little bit longer… “AAAaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!” Rarity’s hold around Sweetie’s neck strengthened as her body convulsed. Sweetie kept moving her fingers inside her sisters pussy, but not as fast as before, continuing the stimulation in an attempt to prolong her orgasm. Rarity enjoyed every second of it until the feeling slowly receded, letting her arms fall to her sides, laying on bed completely satisfied as she slowly breathed in and out. She felt her sister’s slender fingers pulling out of her, the weight of the bed shifting and a warm body resting right next to her. She opened her eyes and smiled right at the mare next to her. “That… was… wonderful…” Rarity managed to say between breaths. “Yeah…” Sweetie responded, just looking at Rarity… admiring her for who knew how long. Rarity then sat up, turning her body towards Sweetie. She extended her a hand, and when Sweetie finally accepted it, Rarity pulled her up to a standing position. The older mare then moved her hands to the bottom of Sweetie’s shirt and started pulling it upwards. “W-wait, Rarity,” Sweetie blushed, holding her shirt down with both hands. She had been really excited to bring pleasure to her sister, but being the one on the other end… It kind of scared her. A little part of that fear was due to her insecurities, not feeling that she was as beautiful as her sister, and the other part... “Sweetie,” Rarity called, and Sweetie met her gaze. “Please. I want to see you.” Sweetie looked away, giving a tiny nod as she lifted her arms. The shirt was off in a second, Sweetie Belle quickly covering her modest sized breasts with her hands. Rarity placed a hand over Sweetie’s but made no attempt to remove it. From the corner of her eye, Sweetie managed to see a warm, caring smile on her sister’s face. She couldn’t help but let her hands fall to her sides, allowing a clear view of her boobs to her sister. “T-they aren’t as big as yours.” Rarity placed a hand on Sweetie’s chin, turning her face to look at her. “They are beautiful. Nice shape, firm and I love the pink color.” Red tinted Sweetie’s cheeks, a smile gracing her features. “Thank you.” “Can I touch them?” “Y-yeah.” Rarity moved her hands to Sweetie’s chest, a hand cupping each boob. With her tongue, she began by touching gently the side, near the armpit, moving to the underboob, then continuing to the center of the chest. “T-that…” Sweetie breathed deeply, shivering at the feeling. “That feels good.” Rarity planted butterfly kisses on Sweetie chest before moving to repeat the process on the other boob. Drawing circles, she slowly made her way towards the areola, licking around the area until she made contact with the nipple, flicking it up and down a few times. “Oh… wow. I can’t believe how good this feels…” Rarity pulled back, looking at her sister. “Really? No pony has ever played like this with your boobs?” “I…” Sweetie looked away, feeling a bit ashamed. “I have… I have never been with anypony.” “I… Really? But… You were so assertive and… incredible just a moment earlier. I thought for sure you had a bit of experience. You… you never experimented with the other Cutie Marks Crusaders?” “What? No! They are almost like family, that would just be weird.” Both of them remained silent, with Rarity lifting a brow, looking incredulously at her sister. Sweetie Belle blushed brightly, perfectly knowing how ridiculous what she had just said had been considering the situation she currently found herself in. “S-shut up!” Rarity chuckled. “I haven’t said anything, darling.” “But you are thinking it!” Sweetie said, covering her face, letting her body fall back on the matters. “It’s… it’s different with you, okay? You are… you’re the pony of my dreams,” she muffledly said through her hands. Rarity took hold of one hand, removing it from Sweetie’s face, bringing it up to her muzzle and kissing each knuckle. “And you are mine,” She said, letting the hand fall to the mattress as she returned both of her hands to the younger unicorns boobs, caressing the nipples with her thumbs for a short moment before dragging her palms down her sisters sides. She stopped at the edge of her sisters short, hooking four fingers inside her sister’s panties. “I really, really want to continue, but if you think you aren’t ready, then we can just leave things here.” Sweetie shook her head. “No, I… I want this too.” Rarity smiled, pulling on both the shorts and the underwear. The older unicorn didn’t rush, and neither did she take her time. She just slid the clothes down her sisters legs, focusing only on the garments, her heart beating faster and faster as she reached the tip of Sweetie’s hooves. She threw the clothes away, not caring where they landed, then took a moment to just look at her sister… appreciate the beauty in front of her. Rarity placed her hands on her sisters knees, carefully pushing them open, happy to see there was no resistance at all. She leaned down, pressing her lips against her sisters knees, planting butterfly kisses as she made her way upwards. Rarity stopped at the upper part of Sweetie’s inner thigh, barely turning her head to look at the glistening lower lips. That was her mistake. She had planned to take her time, plant some more kisses on the other thigh before the main dish, but just a look at her sister’s cute pussy was all it took for her composure to crumble. Rarity extended her tongue, and in a quick motion licked all the way from the bottom of the slit to the clitoris. “Oh, Celestia!” Sweetie shouted, her thighs closing on Rarity’s head. Rarity didn’t let that stop her. She adjusted herself, using both hands to get a hold on Sweetie’s legs. She dove her tongue deep in Sweetie’s humid cavern, moving it around to lick every as much as she could of her sister’s inner walls. “Aaaaahhh, R-Rarity,” Sweetie moaned, her hips moving on their own, grinding her crotch against Rarity’s muzzle. Sweetie Belle whimpered when she felt her sister’s tongue leave her. “Nooo… don’t stop.” Rarity licked her lips off her sisters juice. “Don’t worry, honey. I’m not going to. I just want to reach deeper,” She said, angling two digits towards her sister’s entrance and plunging them inside.” “Ummmm, yes… Ohh, Rarity, I– AAaaahh!” Sweetie shouted, surprised by the sudden attention her clitoris was receiving. Rarity had began sucking on it as she worked her fingers in and out of Sweetie. “Aaaaahhh… R-raaarityyyyyyyy!!!!!!!” Rarity smiled, sucking the little nub even harder, pushing her fingers deeper inside, loving the sound of Sweetie’s voice right now, loving that she was the one making her feel this way. “R-rarity! I… i-it’s too…. too m-much! I caaaAAAAAHHH!!!!” Sweetie arched her back, her hand holding Rarity’s head in place, pressing her pussy on her face as she came. As the intense feeling receded, Sweetie let go of her sister’s head, laying spread eagle, eyes closed as she panted heavily. Rarity moved up, kissing her sister on the cheek, dropping next to her. She laid on her side, her head resting on one hand as she used the other to play with Sweetie’s mane. “I’m sorry darling. I wanted to take my time, make you enjoy it for longer, but I just couldn’t hold back.” “It’s… it’s alright… ha… ha… It… It was amazing… Can we do it again later?” Rarity chuckled. “Of course, my love.” Sweetie smiled, turning her head and smiling at Rarity. “My love?” Rarity placed her hand on Sweetie’s cheek. “My true love,” she said, leaning down and pressing her lips to her sister’s. > Final Chapter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eight Months Later... The darkness of the shop was disturbed by a pale green aura, one that enveloped the bell above the entrance. The door opened slowly, with the bell being moved aside, making no noise at all. The light from the street casted the shadow of a unicorn on the floor. The pony silently made its way inside, closing the door behind and letting the bell fall back in place soundlessly. The pony made its way to the stairs on the other side, moving up to the second floor as quickly, yet as silent, as possible. On the second floor, only one room had its lights on. The unicorn moved to the side of the door, carefully looking inside. The unicorn looked at its target, happy to see a beautiful mare inside, with her back towards the entrance, completely unaware of what was about to happen to her. The unicorn carefully stepped inside, moving its fingers, readying them for what was about to happen… but three steps was all it managed before a blue aura surrounded its wrists. “What the– aah!” The unicorn screamed as it felt the blue aura pulling with force towards the mare. The mare turned around, a grin on her mouth, with arms extended wide so she could catch the intruder. “What took you so long, love.” The mare said, nuzzling against her sister’s neck. “R-Rarity! H-how did you know–” “That you were about to surprise me and tickle me until I surrendered and agreed to fulfil all your wishes in bed?” Rarity said, lifting Sweetie Belle’s arms with her magic and pulling her sister’s shirt up, revealing a pink colored bra. Rarity pressed butterfly kisses around the covered area. “Y-yeah,” the younger mare answered shakily, enjoying her sister’s ministrations. “Because darling, you have been doing the same thing for the last five days,” she answered, her hands moving around the younger mare, with one taking hold of one of those delicious buttocks, while the other moved to the zipper on the side of the skirt, dragging it downwards. “I do love our little foreplay, but it can take to long to get to the good part. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what I would do to you the moment you arrived home…” Rarity whispered to Sweetie’s ear, letting the younger mare’s skirt fall to the floor. “And exactly today you decide to arrive later than usual… So… Sorry for ruining your plan, but I need you right now,” she finished, using her magic and one hand to lift her sister, while placing the other on Sweetie’s head and pulling her into a kiss. Sweetie locked her legs around Rarity, and the magic on her wrists finally let go, allowing her to embrace the other mare. The seconds passed, with both of them feeling the lack of oxygen, trying to hold just a little longer, but finally succumbing to the pleads of their lungs. The kiss broke, but they didn’t let go of each other. Shoulders moved up and down as they recovered their breath. Forehead against forehead, green eyes locked into blue ones, and a big smile on each mouth. “Bed…” was the only thing Rarity said, and the only answer she got was a nod. Rarity gently let Sweetie down on the floor. Sweetie took Rarity’s hand and guided both of them to their room. It was actually Rarity’s room, but ever since their first time together, Sweetie had spend every night there. All of the younger mares belongings were still on her room, but that was only to keep appearances. As they walked, Rarity took this chance to admire her little sister, who was currently wearing only her underwear. Her gaze focused on the mares rear, watching how deliciously those hips moved from side to side, causing the gorgeous tail to swish alongside. As they reached the bedroom, Sweetie moved Rarity towards the bed, turned her around and pushed her back until the older unicorn was sitting on the bed, then she proceeded to straddle her. Rarity placed her hands on Sweetie’s hips, and Sweetie put hers on Rarity’s shoulder. They locked eyes, the love and hunger for each other was obvious. Sweetie leaned down, pressing a quick kiss to Rarity’s lips before pulling back. Her hands moved quickly to Rarity’s blouse and began the task of undoing each button, and removing the piece of cloth then moving to undo her sister’s bra. Meanwhile Rarity had entertained herself by moving her hands down Sweetie’s leg, feeling the soft coat under her fingers, then moving up to Sweetie’s rear and gently squeezing the soft flesh. A particular scent tickled her nose, and Rarity inhaled deeply, then let it out shakily. Sweetie’s scent of arousal was delicious. She hooked her index fingers on each side of Sweetie’s panties. “I want you,” Rarity said huskily, pulling down on the underwear, watching a single string of arousal that connected the cloth with Sweetie’s core snap. Sweetie pressed her hand against Rarity’s chest, pushing her back, but Rarity protested. “I need to taste you right now!” Sweetie kissed the top of Rarity’s head, “and I want your tongue inside me. Just a second, I promise.” Rarity let out a whine, but allowed herself to be pushed back on the bed, now laying completely on it. Sweetie got of the bed, allowing her panties to drop to the floor, then removing her bra. Now completely naked, Sweetie walked around the bed and got back on it, leaning down to kiss Rarity one more, then accommodating herself to straddle her sister’s face. “Aaahh~!” Sweetie let out a cry of pleasure. Her sister hadn’t waited even a second before she started licking the younger mare’s snatch. Sweetie Belle looked down, right at her sister’s large breasts. Those beautiful, large mounds of flesh. Her hand moved on its own, resting its palm on top of the hardened nipple, and earning a muffled moan from the older mare. Sweetie played with those large breasts, massaging them like dough, and occasionally pinching the nipples. She wanted to suck on them, but this position would make it difficult, so she would have to occupy her mouth with something else. Her hands trailed down Rarity’s body, moving over her flat stomach and reaching the skirt. Her fingers found the hem of the garment, grabbing it and pulling up, exposing Rarity’s sexy black underwear. Her arms moved around Rarity’s leg, with her head between the older mare’s thighs. With the fingers of her left hand, she moved Rarity’s underwear to the side, and with the fingers of her right hand, she traced the entrance of Rarity’s sex. It didn’t take long for Sweetie’s fingers to be completely covered on her sister’s arousal. She brought the fingers to her mouth and sucked them clean. “Mmmmm, so good.” “You know what would be better? Tasting it directly from the source,” Rarity quickly said before returning to eat the younger mare’s pussy. “I was thinking the same,” Sweetie said as she parted her sister’s lower lips with her fingers, then pushed her tongue as deep as she could. Rarity moaned into Sweetie’s sex, momentarily halting her actions, but quickly resuming with enthusiasm. Both sisters continued pleasuring each other, the moans of the other encouraging them to do more, to bring more pleasure to their partner. To drive them to the edge. They might have been reading each other’s mind, because they changed their focus to a certain small nub of flesh. A jolt of electricity coursed their bodies as they felt the other sucking on their clit with gusto. It didn’t take much longer for the sisters to reach their climax, with Sweetie’s hitting first, and Rarity following closely after. It took a moment for Sweetie to recover her strength. She kissed Rarity’s left thigh before getting of Rarity and turning to lay right next to her. Rarity lazily turned her head, looking for her sister’s lips and locking her own to them. “Celestia, I love you so much,” Rarity said, placing a hand on Sweetie’s hip and pulling her even closer. “I really couldn’t wait for you to get back home...” She unconsciously began running her hand up and down Sweetie’s leg. “What kept you so late, anyways?” “Hmmm,” Sweetie hummed, enjoying her sister’s warmth and touch. “I… I don’t know… nothing import– No, wait!” Sweetie said, suddenly sitting up and looking at Rarity. “It was something important,” She finished, a big smile on her face. “What?” Rarity asked, sitting up as well with a smile mirroring her sister’s. “Today… A record label asked me to sign a contract with them!!!” “W-what? You… what do you mean?” Rarity asked, completely confused. After Diamond Tiara’s party eight months ago, a few ponies from the music industry had gotten in contact with Sweetie Belle. They had been completely amazed by the unicorns vocal talent. They had talked about the possibility of recording a few songs, but nothing actually happened after that first talk. Sweetie had been a little disappointed that this chance hadn’t turned out to be anything important, most likely because she was just another young mare from a little town in the middle of nowhere. A pair of months had gone by since that time, but today, a pony in a suit knocked at the door of Octavia’s Music School. He went direct to the point and asked if she was interested in signing a contract with the label he represented. Apparently, Diamond Tiara had also known about this little talk that had gone nowhere and asked her daddy to move a few strings along. There was a lot of talk and after he left, Octavia, her, and other employees went out to celebrate. “He gave me his card and told me to call him so he could arrange a date to meet up and start talking business.” “Oh, Celestia.” Rarity pushed Sweetie down to the mattress and kissed her passionately. “I’m… so happy… for you...” She said between kisses. “Tomorrow we’ll go out to celebrate.” Sweetie laughed. “We can’t. Tomorrow is the wedding.” “Then we’ll celebrate the day after!” Rarity said, hugging tightly her sister. “We’ll go out for a walk, then I’ll take you to that restaurant you love so much, and after that, the whole night…” Rarity moved to Sweetie’s ear and whispered, “We’ll use that double dildo that you love so much.” Sweetie ran a finger over her sister’s leg, looking up at her with puppy eyes. “Can’t we use it now?” Rarity kissed Sweetie’s cheek. “Of course. Anything for my baby sister.” “Come on Rarity, aren’t you ready yet?!” Sweetie Belle screamed from the first floor of the boutique. “I’m almost done!” “That’s what she said fifteen minutes ago,” Sweetie mumbled as she took a sit on the sofa near the exit of the shop. She wasn’t sure how much longer she would have to wait, but her ears perked up as she heard hoofsteps moving down the stairs. “Finall–” Sweetie cut herself off as she saw her sister. Wrap V neckline, with thin shoulder straps, and a side slit that ran all the way to her upper thigh. Rarity looked completely out of this world with that blue dress she was wearing. “How do I look,” Rarity asked cheekily, completely sure that she looked amazing thanks to Sweetie’s astonished expression. Sweetie shook her head and walked up to Rarity, placing a hand on the older mare’s hip and kissed her. “You do know that you aren’t supposed to look more beautiful than the brides, right?” Rarity laughed and kissed Sweetie back. “Don’t worry, the brides will still be the most beautiful mares of the event, after all, I was the one that designed both of the gowns.” “I find that hard to believe,” Sweetie said, caressing Rarity’s cheek with two fingers. “Because no matter what, there isn’t a pony as beautiful as you in this world.” Rarity bit her lip, trying to supress the impulse to jump on her sister and have a repeat of last night's activities right there. “We…” She breathed slowly, then let it go. “We should get going.” Sweetie Belle let go of Rarity, rushed to entrance and opened the door. “After you, my lady.” Rarity shook her head as she walked out. Arm in arm, both mares made their way to Twilight's castle were the event would take place. Halfway there, Sweetie let go of Rarity’s arm, opting to grab her hand so she could intertwine their fingers. “You know we shouldn’t be doing this kind of things out here,” Rarity said, looking around. “I… right. Sorry,” Sweetie said, attempting to let go, but Rarity held her hand in place. “I guess this much is fine… and there doesn’t seem to be anypony around at this hour.” Rarity said, smiling at her sister. “Would a kiss be too much?” “Even if there’s nopony around, it’s better not to risk it.” “It’ll be hard to resist the impulse with you looking so gorgeous. I can’t wait for the day to end and have some alone time with you.” Rarity smiled mischievously at her sister. “Neither can I.” It didn’t take long after that to reach their destination. The doors of the castle were wide open, but there was a sign indicating that the place would be used for a special event for the day, and ponies would need an invitation to get in. Twilight was standing right at the entrance, a wide smile showed on her face as soon as she noticed them. “Rarity, Sweetie Belle, hello.” “Twilight, darling. How are you doing?” “Doing fine, Rarity.” She noticed the two mares holding hands, and smiled warmly at them. “How about the two of you?” Sweetie lifted their joined hands and kissed the back of Rarity’s. “Doing amazing,” She said, her eyes locking with her sister’s. “That’s always good to hear.” Twilight was the only other pony who knew about their relationship, and since the very beginning had been supportive of it, seeing how much happier had the both of them become. It had been a bit awkward for her seeing how intimate the two sisters acted in front of her sometimes. But she had slowly gotten used to it. Some noise was heard on the distance, and the three mares looked up in the sky to see a flying chariot getting closer to the castle. The chariot landed gently just a few yards away from them. A guard moved from the front of the transport and rushed to one of the doors, opening it and stepping aside, and Out came Cadance and Shining armor. Twilight smiled brightly before she began walking towards her brother and sister in law. She didn’t manage to get far, as a bright light flashed in front of her before she was tackled to the ground. “Aunt Twilight!” A little filly exclaimed as she hugged Twilight tightly. “Flurry, How many times have I told you not to teleport over your aunt?” Cadance said, moving to help Twilight get up. Shining gave a few instructions to his guards before making his way to join the rest of his family. “It’s okay,” Twilight said as she accepted the assistance of the older alicorn while managing to hold Flurry Heart with one hand. “She just missed me. Isn’t that right, Flurry?” “Yes! I missed you a lot.” “And I missed you a lot too.” She said, turning to hug with one arm her brother, then Cadance. “Hey guys. Good that you could make it today.” “You know that I love weddings, specially one between two of our friends,” Cadance said happily. “It was a good thing that Sunburst offered to take care of things while we attended the event,” Shining added. “Well, I’m happy you two are here,” Twilight turned to look at Flurry. “And I’m especially happy that you are here,” she told Flurry as she planted a kiss on the filly’s cheek and let her down on the floor. “You all should head inside. The others who have arrived are on the second floor, west wing.” “Aren’t you coming too, Twilight?” “I’ll be there in a moment. I’m just waiting for a few more guests before I close the doors.” “Alright. Come Flurry, let’s go meet the others.” Shining said, extending his hand towards his daughter. “No,” Flurry said, hiding behind Twilight. “I want to stay with aunt Twilight.” “Come on, Flurry. Don’t–” “Let her, Shiny.” Cadance said, placing a hand on her husband’s shoulder. “I think Twilight could use the company while she waits.” Shining just shrugged. “Alright. We’ll be going then.” He turned around, and for the first time, noticed Rarity and Sweetie Belle. “Oh! Hey girls.” She greeted, politely shaking their hands before moving inside. Cadance went after him, but stopped in front of the sisters. Her eyes moved from Rarity to Sweetie and back, then she smiled widely. “It’s so good to see you two.” She said, hugging both of them at the same time. “Love is such a wonderful thing,” she added before letting go and chasing after her husband. “Ummm… Do you think that she…” Sweetie started, looking worriedly at her sister. “I’m not sure…” Rarity said, turning to look Twilight. “We’ll talk some more later,” She said, waving at Twilight who waved back. They walked in and made their way to the stairs, but as Sweetie was about to turn towards the west wing, she felt her sister pull her arm on the opposite direction. “Come with me. Just for a moment,” Rarity said and Sweetie didn’t protest. Turning right and down the hall, Rarity lead the way until they reached the library. The older sister looked around, seeing nopony around, then entered. She looked at Sweetie, signaling her to stay quiet. “Hello! Anypony here?!” Rarity called out as loud as she could, but there was no answer. “You do know that you aren’t supposed to be loud in a library, right? If there was someone here they would be scolding you right now.” Rarity smirked. “I know,” Rarity said, pressing her lips against her sister and pushing her backwards until Sweetie Belle was sitting on a nearby table. “Good thing that there’s nopony.” Rarity kissed her sister’s neck, earning a low sensual moan from her. Sweetie wrapped arms around Rarity’s neck, and her legs around her waist, bringing her closer. Rarity placed her right hand on her sisters knee, and began her journey upwards, slowly pushing the skirt along, exposing more and more of Sweetie’s beautiful coat. “I really couldn’t wait for the end of the day to have you… You look so… hot,” Rarity said huskily, her lips peppering kisses over Sweetie’s neck and shoulder, pushing one strap of the dress off, exposing a pink nipple. Rarity took the chance and wrapped her lips around it and sucked. “Oh, Celestia,” Sweetie hummed in pleasure. “More… I need you inside,” she pleaded. Rarity, always happy to comply with her sister’s requests, pushed her hand further below Sweetie’s skirt, easily finding her panties. She stroke her fingers over the moist fabric a few time before pulling it away so she could gain access. She began slow, with just one finger… then added a second, moving steadily faster, encouraged by her sister’s cute whimpers of need for more. Sweetie Belle moaned loudly. “Oh, Celestia!” “You called?” Both mares froze, the lust they had just felt for each other dissipated in a second, and dread took its place. They looked in the direction of the voice, watching with wide eyes and in complete silence as Princess Celestia walked from behind a bookcase. The sisters separated, with Sweetie trying to fix her dress while Rarity faced the alicorn. “Princess, this… This isn’... you don’t–” She stopped as she noticed she had just lifted her right hand. The one she had used to pleasure her sister. The one covered in her juices. She quickly hid it and looked away from the princess. “So you realize there’s no use denying it,” came a new voice, and from behind Celestia came Princess Luna. She stood next to her sister, and looked at the two unicorns with a harsh expression. “Incest… an illegal act here in Equestria...” Rarity looked back up with fearful eyes at both Alicorns. She opened her mouth, attempting to say something that could help their situation, yet nothing came to her mind, so nothing was said. She took a step back and took one of Sweetie’s trembling hand in her own. “Come on, Lu,” Celestia said, grabbing Luna’s waist and pulling her close. “Don’t be mean.” Luna kept her harsh expression for a while before a smile broke it. “Sorry, sorry, I went a little overboard there,” she turned and looked up at Celestia with a pout. “But I really wanted to scare them after they interrupted us...” Celestia brought her hand to Luna’s cheek and gently caressed it. “I know, but we already had enough fun,” she said before leaning down and capturing her sister’s lips with her own. After a few seconds, she broke the kiss. “We can continue when we get back home. For now, let’s just let them have their turn. Alright?” “Yeah...” Luna sighed. Celestia smiled, then looked at Rarity and Sweetie. “Sorry for interrupting, we’ll leave you to it now. And don’t worry, your secret is safe with us.” She placed a hand on Luna’s back, guiding her towards the entrance. Before they left, her hand dropped to Luna’s rear and gave it a playful slap. The doors closed, leaving behind two confused unicorns. They remained frozen in place, their minds attempting to process what had just happened. Finally, they faced each other, their hearts beating madly. “Did that just–” The doors of the library opened again, and in came Luna running. “Sorry!” She ran past them and behind a bookcase, then she walked back. “I can’t believe I almost forgot Tia’s,” she said, smiling down at a pair of white panties. She brought them to her nose and breathed deeply before tucking them between her breasts. “You can continue now,” she added before leaving once more. “We… we better clean ourselves. The wedding should be about to start,” said Rarity, doing her best to ignore the sudden arousal between her legs. The room in which the ceremony was to take place was big enough to accomodate the guests. The decorations consisted mostly of a few arrangement of flowers here and there, as the brides had said that the beauty of the crystal walls and columns was plenty enough. The room was filled with long wooden benches, a total of ten, with five on each side, leaving a path right in the middle, all of them facing towards a large double door. In the opposite directions, behind the benches were two entrances on opposite walls. Rarity sit was at the front, with Pinkie Pie at one side and Sweetie Belle on the other. Rarity was happily talking with her friend, about how excited they were, until the music began playing. Everypony turned towards the doors on the back of the room that slowly began opening in synchrony. From the one of on the left came Fluttershy, accompanied by her father on her right side. She was wearing a sheath style wedding dress with an open back so that her wings wouldn’t be uncomfortable. The dress was sleeveless, with a hint of green color at the edge of the skirt. The outfit was complemented by a pair of white lace gloves. From the oposit door came Applejack, accompanied by her brother on her left side. The earth pony had a A-line wedding dress with a plunging neckline and a high leg slit that allowed the mare to show her toned legs. This dress also had a hint of green at the edge of the skirt. Both mares met in the middle of the path, smiling brightly at each other before they took each other's hand and walked down the aisle, towards the double doors. The doors opened and the bright rays of sunlight poured inside the room. On the other side was one of the large balconies of the castle, the one that had a perfect view of the little town. Twilight Sparkle was standing tall in the middle of the balcony, at the two brides approaching her with a big smile. The two mares finally reached their place, turning to kiss their respective family member on the cheek before the two stallions left to sit with the other ponies. Applejack and Fluttershy, while never letting go of the other’s hand, looked at Twilight and waited for her to start. Twilight breathed in deeply, then began. “Friends, a beautiful connection shared by many… A beautiful thing that the two ponies standing right here in front of all of you have cared and nurtured until they decided that they were ready for the next step. Today, all of us have been invited to take part of this event. To share the joy of this union. To be witness of the moment Applejack and–” “Ah do.” The place was silent for a moment, with the attention of everypony present focused on the orange mare. “Uhmm, Applejack, we haven’t reached that part yet.” Applejack blushed bright red. “Sorry,” She muttered, turning to lock her eyes with Fluttershy’s. “Ah just can’t wait to be yer wife.” “Awww, that’s really cute, but you should–” “I do,” Fluttershy interrupted loudly, turning her body to completely face Applejack. “Fluttershy, not you too. Please, just wait a little–” Applejack took a step forward, placing her free hand on Fluttershy’s cheek and kissed her. “Oh come on! This ceremony is completely out of order!” After Twilight had managed to get the ceremony back in course and the “I do’s” had been said at the right moment, everypony cheered. The event then moved to another room where all the guests would enjoy a large feast prepared by the Cakes. “Alright, everypony,” Applejack began, standing alongside Fluttershy in the middle of the room. “Ah believe the moment has come for the next event.” “Everypony interested please gather around. Applejack and I will be soon tossing the bouquet,” Fluttershy said happily. A small crowd quickly gathered near Applejack and Fluttershy. Rarity looked from her table, not moving a muscle until she felt a hand on her shoulder. “Com one, sis,” Sweetie said, sitting next to the other unicorn. “We should participate too.” “What’s the point…” Rarity said with a hint of sadness. “I can’t marry the pony I love the most.” She said, making sure that nopony had heard her. “Officially… no,” Sweetie leaned closer to her sister and whispered: “But that doesn’t mean we can’t have our own special event. One were we promise to love each other for the rest of our lives… That’s all what I need.” Rarity smiled at her sister, holding back the urge to kiss her deeply right there in front of everypony. “You make it so easy to love you.” Sweetie smiled and stood up. “Come on,” she extended her hand at Rarity, who quickly took it. The mares soon joined the crowd, and waited. “Alright, everypony. Here it goes.” Applejack and Fluttershy turned around, both of them holding the bouquet. They counted down from three, and when they reached zero, the bouquet was sent flying. Rarity could see it in slow motion, how the bouquet began to decelerate once it reached the highest point of its trajectory, then began its descent towards her. Rarity extended her hands, her finger ready to curl around the price. It was so close now, just a little more… A bright flash of light momentarily blinded her, but she recovered soon to see a little filly flying right between her and the bouquet. “I got it! I win!” Flurry heart shouted with joy as she flew around the room with the bouquet in her hands. She then flew out of the room with it. “Nice catch, Flurry,” Cadance, who had chased after her daughter, said happily, taking her from the air and giving her a big hug. Twilight and Shining Armor quickly joined her. “Oh Celestia,” Shining began. “You are the next one to get married? Aren’t you a little young for that? Wouldn’t you prefer to wait a few years?” “No, I’m already a big girl. I can marry the pony I love.” Flurry answered firmly. “The pony you love?” Shining asked with mirth. “And who is this pony?” Flurry’s eyes moved slightly to the side. She released herself from Cadance’s hug and launched herself towards the lavender mare. “Aunt Twilight!” Flurry shouted, wrapping her small arms around Twilight’s neck. Twilight laughed as she shook her head. “Kids,” she said as she managed to detach her niece from her neck. “Flurry, I’m sorry, but we can’t get married.” Flurry’s expression quickly turned sad. “Why! I want to marry aunt Twilight!” “But we can’t get married. That can’t happen.” “But…” Flurry looked down at the floor, her fists holding tightly her dress, then looked up with watery eyes. “But mommy told me that the only thing needed to get married is for the two ponies to love each other.” A tear ran down her cheek. “You… you don’t love me?” “I-I-I…” Twilight stammered, her heart breaking a little at the sight of her niece crying. “I do love you, Flurry, but we ca–” “Then we can get married!” Flurry Heart said with conviction. “Flurry, I… You…” Twilight looked up towards her brother and sister in law. “Guys, a little help.” “If this is what my little girl wants, then I’ll support her decision,” Cadance said with a smirk. “Take good care of her, Twily,” Shining added as he feigned resignation. “Guys! This isn’t the moment for jokes.” Twilight said, glaring at both of them for a second, before looking back at Flurry. “Flurry… we can’t get married beca–” Before she could finish, Flurry used her magic to teleport away. “Oh, for Celestia’s sake.” Twilight said before teleporting as well. Later that day, when the sun had set down and the night was gaining force, danced below the stars, right where Applejack and Fluttershy had gotten married. The dance and the way they looked at each other with complete adoration could have given anypony who watched a hint of what their true feelings for each other was, but the sisters weren’t worried. They weren’t afraid of getting caught, as it was a bit too dark and too high to see from the town what was happening and they had made sure to lock the door with magic. Besides, most of the guests had already left when they went up there. “It’s a pity that you didn’t get the bouquet.” “I don’t need it to know that I’ll spend the rest of my life with you.” Sweetie smiled lovingly at her sister, then rested her head on Rarity’s shoulder as they continued dancing. Up on the top of the castle, a pair of yellow eyes with crimson pupils observed the two mares dancing. With a snap of its fingers, the creature summoned an old book. Its claw ran over the cover of the book. Opening it and landing on a certain spell. “Another pony that falls for this prank… Just like Luna and Celestia all those years back. At least nopony ended up in the moon this time.” The creature said before laughing madly. The End
