The harvest sure does go faster with yer magic," Applejack said as she sat down the last bucket of apples in the barn. "Not a problem, AJ. Especially not after that first harvest," Twilight said, nodding toward Applejack. "Oh, don't bring that up again!" But Twilight Sparkle just grinned to herself with self-satisfaction. "You tried to do all of it yourself when Big Macintosh got injured. You were falling asleep all the time. And remember how cranky you got?" Applejack didn't look amused. "Ah remember. Which is why Ah asked you straight away this time. Ah knew you could probably get most of 'em in just one spell." Twilight tilted her head thoughtfully. "Well, ever since that first harvest, I did spend quite a bit of time thinking of more efficient ways of harvesting with magic. I'm glad I finally have the power to help." "Ah didn't know you cooked up a special spell for this," Applejack said. "I thought you just used your floaty magic. You've always been really good at that." But Twilight shook her head. "Levitation is too difficult on a mass scale like this, especially if you don't want me to uproot any trees. But I think it was worth the effort. I'm pleased with the results." "Ah can't complain none, either." The two hugged in the doorway, half-lit with the sunset. Applejack's rough coat, lightly dewed with sweat, pressed firmly into Twilight's neat and clean royal body, but a similar warmth spread between them. Applejack pulled away sheepishly. "Sorry. Probably shouldn't be mussin' up a princess." Twilight gave her a puzzled look. "What are you sorry for? You shouldn't have to worry about giving me a hug just because I'm a princess." Applejack only nodded. "Yer right. Sometimes them wings make you look like an entirely new mare." "I don't feel like a new mare. We've been friends for years, Applejack. That's not going to change, no matter what happens to me." "Oh, Ah know that," Applejack smiled. But Twilight's face was glowing as she stared off at the horizon, more memories flooding back. "Remember my first day? You were the first pony I met in Ponyville." "Was Ah really?" Applejack said. "Usually Pinkie Pie gets to 'em 'fore anyone else can." Twilight nodded slowly. "I saw Pinkie first, but she didn't say anything to me. You were the first to introduce yourself and treat me like a friend. More than that. Like family. I can't believe it took me so long to appreciate that." "Now don't go fussin' like that," Applejack admonished. "You came 'round quick enough. Takes time for ponies to get to know each other." "I know. It just feels like forever ago. It doesn't even seem like me. Maybe I have changed," Twilight mused with a chuckle. "You think too much," Applejack said with a friendly cuff. "No such thing," Twilight said, patting her back with a wing. Applejack just smiled. "C'mon inside. Ah'll whip ya up some dinner. Least Ah could do fer all yer help." "Yes please! I'm starving!" Applejack had accompanied Twilight to Hay Burger enough times to know her appetite could rival Big Mac's, and soon she had the entire kitchen warm and sizzling with frying vegetables, baking pies, and boiling soups. Twilight could only sit and admire Applejack's skill. She wasn't really anything Twilight would describe as feminine. No, Applejack has more muscle than most stallions she had met, and her no-nonsense attitude led her to a certain kind of compartmentalized, typically masculine style of thinking. But when she wasn't being sentimental and loving toward her family, her feminine nature truly shined in the kitchen. It was almost motherly, the way she managed it all without a second thought, wearing only a tiny smile at the corners of her mouth. Twilight realized that she probably thought about kitchens the way she thought about libraries: second nature. "Where is everypony else?" Twilight asked. The house was unusually quiet. "Hm, let's see," Applejack mused. "Well, with how quick the harvest got done, Big Mac's probably hangin' out with Caramel. I think Granny Smith's napping upstairs. Dunno where Apple Bloom could'a got to." "Oh, Ah just don't want to interrupt yer date," Apple Bloom said, quickly pacing her way through the kitchen, piling things onto a plate as she left to eat elsewhere before Applejack could even respond. "It ain't a date!" Applejack shouted at her little sister's back. Twilight Sparkle just giggled. "Looks like we found your sister." Applejack shook her head. "Don't know how she got such crazy ideas in her head." Twilight responded as Applejack dished up food onto her plate. "I don't think it's so crazy. I've thought about dating a mare before." Applejack just raised her eyebrow. "You don't say?" "Oh, yes," Twilight nodded. "Cadance always said that love was like a really close friendship. And I'm so close with all of you, it would have been strange for me not to consider the nature of my feelings for you." Applejack seemed unsettled. "Ah guess Ah never thought of it like that." "Does it make you uncomfortable?" Twilight said, reading her friend's face. "Ah'm not sure. Stallions have always been so tricky. It's like Ah'm always trying to prove to 'em that Ah can be tough too." A heavy pause spread across the table. "Well, what about you?" "Me?" Twilight parroted, rubbing the back of her head with a hoof. "Well, after much deliberation, I concluded that I wouldn't mind being romantically involved with a mare, if she were willing..." Here Twilight blushed a little. "Provided there was enough, um, physical chemistry, of course." "Oh," Applejack said. "Yeah, that's a good point. Ah can't imagine what being with a mare would be like." "Pardon my asking but... have you ever...?" Twilight said quietly. "Um, well... sure Ah have. Nothin' serious, mind you, but a couple times me 'n Caramel... well, you get the idea. Stallions are fun 'n all, but Ah suppose a mare might know a mare better." "That's what I've come to understand by my research," Twilight said. "Of course, it don't matter if you don't really like the pony in the first place," Applejack commented. Yet her face was quickly turning red. "But if Ah'm bein' honest, Ah have to say Ah'm mighty curious." "Curious?" Twilight's face lit up with surprise. "Well, it's like you said. Bein' close to the pony is more important than what type of pony they are. And you and Ah are awfully close." "I know," Twilight said. "But we don't exactly have a lot in common." "Well, you always give me the best book recommendations," Applejack said. "And you have helped me get out more. I never would have done anything like the Running of the Leaves before I met you, let alone go to a rodeo," Twilight added. "Plus you bein' princess has helped out the farm so much. Not to mention all the fun Ah'v had meetin' fancy Canterlot ponies. Never would have happened without you." "And your cooking is top notch," Twilight added. Applejack's voice lowered some. "You make me feel proud that somepony as important as you could be such a good friend to a farm gal like me." Twilight smiled demurely. "I couldn't be a princess without you, Applejack. You've always been my source of strength, even more than the others. Having you to depend on for patience and guidance allows me to lead." Another silence fell over the table, but this was warmer. "Well shoot," Applejack said finally. "Is this really happening?" "Is that bad?" Twilight asked. "No, 'course not," Applejack said. "Just... surprisin' is all." Now it was Twilight's turn to be bold. "Do you... really feel that way about me?" Applejack smiled warmly. "You bet I do. Always have, Ah suppose. Ah just never thought about it this way before. But Ah already spend nearly every day with you. Ah like being with you." "I feel the same," Twilight said. The two smiled. "Guess that's that, then," Applejack said firmly. She chuckled to herself, saying, "Guess Apple Bloom was right. This might as well be a date. Cheeky little critter." "Well..." Twilight said. "Not quite." "Whaddya mean?" "Well, there's still the question of, um... physical compatibility." Applejack's face turned beet red. "Oh..." She shifted nervously. "Don't you think that's movin' awfully fast for the first date?" "We already know each other so well," Twilight said. "I think that's the only thing that would be really different between the two of us. The one thing that could tell us whether or not we should just be friends or something else." Applejack gulped. "Ah think Ah get what Caramel was sayin' about havin' trouble performin' under pressure." Twilight stood and went to her, placing a wing on her shoulder. "It's alright. If you want to wait, there's no rush." Now Applejack turned even more red. "Ah didn't say Ah wanted to wait..." The implication spread the blush to Twilight's cheeks as well. "I see... has it... been a while?" "You could say that," she nodded evenly. "And if there's anything we Apples like, it's gettin' laid. You ever wonder why there's so many of us?" Twilight giggled, Applejack's joke helping ease the tension. "If that's the case then, do you think we should...?" Now it was Applejack's turn to stand and place a hoof on Twilight's shoulder. "Why don't you come upstairs with me, sugarcube?" She punctuated her offer with a kiss on Twilight Sparkle's cheek. A wide smile spread across the alicorn's face. "That sounds nice," she said simply. It was a slow trot to the stairs that became a brisk canter as the pair neared the top. The two flicked their tails excitedly, feeling almost like children sneaking off with stolen cookies. "Oh, but what if Apple Bloom hears us?" Twilight Sparkle asks. "You saw her high-tail it outta here. That filly don't want to give us nothin' but privacy," Applejack responded. Twilight nodded, feeling almost giddy as Applejack opened the door to her bedroom. Twilight had been inside countless times, but entering the room, seeing the bed covered in old quilts had never sent shivers of anticipation down her spine before. Applejack closed the door, the latch sounding so heavy, so final. "Y'all ready?" Twilight was anything but. "So soon? Shouldn't we... take our time?" "'Course. We got all night, after all." Applejack offered a reassuring smile. "You want to try, maybe... a kiss?" Even her gentle question seemed so forward to Twilight. But it would be a good place to start. "Okay," Twilight agreed quietly. The two closed the distance between each other, drawing their faces nearer slowly. "Here goes nothin'," Applejack said. They closed their eyes. Their muzzles forged ahead in the dark, empty air between them, feeling nothing but broad space, until the halo of warmth from each other's lips reached them. The two hesitated for a moment. Then Applejack took the plunge, planting her lips on Twilight Sparkle's, a slight breath escaping from each of them. Heat passed between them, a slight shuffle of lips pursing against one another, then they fell into one another. Their ears drooped as their shoulders slumped, their bodies relaxing as affection and intimacy rose in them. When they finally parted, their eyes open wide, taking in everything of the new world they found themselves in. "Was that... good?" Twilight asked. Applejack nodded. "Ah... didn't expect that." "Me either," Twilight replied. "Should we... continue?" Applejack grinned at Twilight's shy little smile. "Ah think you know the answer to that, sugarcube." Before Twilight could respond, Applejack was pressing her toward the bed, locking lips with her again, even letting her tongue invade into the alicorn's mouth a little. She gently pushed Twilight onto the bed, keeping with her as her rump hit the mattress, pressing her even further until Applejack clambered onto the bed, Twilight on her back, the farm pony straddling her, her body hovering overtop of her, her neck arched down to lay more kisses down on Twilight. It all seemed so natural, so organic. Applejack broke from Twilight's mouth to plant kisses on her muzzle, jaw, and neck, tracing down her body as she let her hooves caress her delicate form. Twilight Sparkle certainly wasn't built like the large, hardy stallions she was used to, but Applejack had never felt so free, so full of energy. With Caramel, she had simply laid there, lifted her tail, and enjoyed being ridden. But with Twilight, the possibilities were endless. She wasn't sure what would happen, and the potential was incredibly exciting. Not that Twilight wasn't enjoying another pony having their way with her. As a princess and master magician, Twilight had never felt so powerless before. She couldn't begin to anticipate Applejack's movements, or predict her thoughts, but she could feel her heart, her emotions welling up within her as her orange hooves and lips traced and covered Twilight's body. She felt lust. Not just in Applejack, but within herself. Her body was responding to this, and she found her thoughts moving away from the logical, from the practical, to the primal. Yet she wasn't afraid of the shift in mindset. She knew she could trust Applejack with anything. "Wow..." Twilight moaned. "Y'like?" Applejack paused, grinning above her. Twilight nodded. "I didn't know it would be so... exhilarating." Applejack raised an eyebrow. "Uh, Twilight? Have you ever done this before?" Twilight Sparkle shook her head every so slightly, at least a little embarrassed to be so woefully ignorant about a subject, but Applejack only smiled warmly. "Heh. Didn't know I'd be deflowering y'all." "Does it count if it's not a stallion?" Twilight asked. "Oh, it counts. You'll see by the end of this, if Ah do it right. Trust me." Twilight nodded. "So... now what?" Applejack didn't know how Twilight could remain so pragmatic at a time like this. But she was a pony who lived and died by organization; it made sense that she couldn't even imagine taking a roll in the hay with a pony without a schedule. She gave another kiss, this time on Twilight's cheek, before removing her hat and placing it on the bedpost. "Just spread yer legs and relax. Let my hooves do all the work." "Oh!" Twilight blushed. "Is that a good idea? You're so strong, and it's kind of... sensitive." Applejack just frowned at her. "Twilight, I'm a mare too, ya know. If anypony would know what to do down there, it's me." Twilight gave herself a reassuring nod. "You're right. Okay." She took a deep breath and spread her thighs a little. "I'm ready." Applejack let her eyes wander down Twilight's torso. She had never examined her like this before; her slim form, her petite teats with perky nipples- Twilight really wasn't anything like Applejack. Yet as her hooves roamed down her body, slowly passing over every peak and plain, she could tell she was certainly softer than Applejack. Fitting, she felt. The earth pony hesitated only a little at the bottom of Twilight's belly to let her prepare to be touched. Applejack hardly looked, keeping her eyes fixed on Twilight's face, watching her eyes grow still behind closed lids, watching her slowly relax under Applejack's touch. "Here goes," she told her partner softly. Twilight nodded. "Oh," the alicorn sighed as Applejack's hooves made contact. Just like the rest of her, Twilight's marehood was petite and little, the lips soft, smooth, and inconspicuous, everything folded and tucked away neatly. She spread them apart slightly to find her clit, just a little nub covered in a telltale swath of hot moisture that leaked from her passage. But Applejack didn't let her hooves wander over her button just yet. She knew you had to warm a girl up first before you could go in for the kill. So she kissed Twilight's neck and chest some more, letting her hooves stroke her outer lips, collecting droplets of moisture and spreading them over her entrance, making every rub warm and slick. "How's this?" Applejack asked softly. Twilight nodded. "This is incredible." "Y'all ever done this before on yer own time?" she asked. The alicorn nodded again. "But I was never able to um... achieve any real results." Applejack pulled her head from Twilight's chest to open her mouth in shock. "What in tarnation? Y'all never came before!?" Twilight shut her friend's mouth quickly with magic. "Applejack! Not so loud!" When she could speak again, she said more softly, "Sorry. Just thought it was something everypony did at least once." Now Twilight was really embarrassed. She looked away and crossed her hooves. "Well, I haven't." Applejack just grinned even wider. "Then prepare fer the ride of yer life, partner. 'Cuz y'all ain't gonna be able to think straight when I'm done with ya." "That doesn't sound very good," Twilight said. Applejack just laughed. The alicorn's moans filled the room again as Applejack set her hooves back to work. Now she allowed herself to be a little more bold, occasionally venturing up to Twilight's clit to roll it around a little, just to hear her hiss and watch her bit her lip in pleasure. The warmth between her legs was increasing, and Applejack could even see her chest rise and fall more with shaky breaths. "Havin' fun yet?" she asked in a teasing tone. "Oh, yes," Twilight admitted. "This is- oh, something!" Applejack planted a kiss on the tip of Twilight's snout. "Just enjoy yerself, sugarcube. The good part's comin'." Another cry escaped from Twilight's lip as Applejack began to circle her bead. She started slow, stroking around it, rubbing up and down her slot a little before going this way and that. Soon, her broad motions became small, quick strokes, back and forth, rapidly stimulating Twilight. "Applejack-" she huffed. "Yeah, sugarcube?" she responded, happily watching Twilight's face for her climax. "I think it's- ohhh," she groaned, tossing her head back. Applejack dove into Twilight's neck once more, letting her teeth nip a little at her, sending a sharp sensation through her just as Applejack's hoof sent sharp spasms of pleasure into Twilight's belly. She couldn't seem to control her breathing anymore, and an intense heat, not warm like magic, but fiery like electricity was coursing through her. "Applejack! Applejack! Ah!" Twilight cried. With that cry came her climax. Her hips jerked upward, her jaw clenching as her eyes snapped shut, her entire body tensing and releasing in a quick, pulsing rhythm as her marehood burned with release, a fresh coat of slick fluids covering Applejack's hooves as she worked her friend over with precise strokes and heavy kisses. When it was over, Twilight was breathless. "That... that was... wow." "Told ya," Applejack said, wearing a smug grin on her face. "Weren't weird fer ya or nothin'? Doin' it with me?" "No, not at all," Twilight said. "I didn't even think about it. It almost felt... natural." She smiled up at Applejack. "I guess we do know each other pretty well." "To be honest, I'm glad I'm doin' it with somepony familiar," she said. "Makes it nice and easy to relax and have fun." "I agree," Twilight said. She buried her head in Applejack's chest and Applejack wrapped her arms around her in a tight, warm hug. "Did you want to have some fun, too?" "Well, 'course Ah do," Applejack said. "If'n yer willin'." "As long as I'm with you, I'll try just about anything, I think," Twilight said. She placed a hoof on her chin. "Hm. You said you were used to stallions, right?" "Ah guess you could say that," Applejack said, a little embarrassed to talk about her sexual history with someone as naive as Twilight could be. "My horn is rather phallic-shaped," Twilight suggested. Applejack took a look at it and gulped. "Don't you think it's a bit, uh... pointy to be stickin' in mah lady bits?" "It's not as sharp as you think," Twilight answered defensively. "Plus, the magic will make things feel smoother and softer. Not to mention warmer." "Really? Y'all can do that?" "Oh, yes. I could create all sorts of sensations with my magic," Twilight said. "Although using my forehead might be a little awkward." "Here," Applejack said. She leaned back against the headboard and spread her legs, raising her hips up on a few pillows. "Why don't we give it a try and see how ya feel?" Applejack hadn't bothered to give a close look to Twilight's nethers, but now that Applejack was offering hers, Twilight couldn't help but study her friend's marehood. It was so familiar, all with parts that Twilight recognized, and yet it seemed so different from her own. Applejack's entire body was so much bulkier than Twilight's; not chubbier, just bigger overall. Her other parts were bigger too. Her teats were fuller and rounder than Twilight's. Her marehood was puffier and fleshier, and her clit was larger as well, too big to be covered by the heavy folds. Even her juices were more plentiful, her crotch moist with a mess of warm, sticky fluids. "My..." Twilight Sparkle said as she slowly drew closer to examine it all. "Y'all can change yer mind if ya want," Applejack made sure to say. "No worries, Applejack. It's clear that you're quite aroused. I'll do my best to make sure you achieve proper sexual satisfaction," Twilight said primly. Applejack just rolled her eyes. Leave it to Twilight to make dirty talk sound like science. "Well then, like you said, Ah'm plenty ready," Applejack said. Twilight nodded. She lit her horn up a little, covering the tool with a soft glow, not for light, but just to create a sheath of magic. "Here we go," Twilight said. She tilted her head, looking up with her eyes as Applejack did her best to hold still. "Ooh," she huffed as she felt the tip make contact. Twilight seemed to study what Applejack had done, and she didn't insert her horn immediately. Instead, she drew circles around Applejack's labia, spreading them apart and using her blunted, rounded tip to prod around her marehood, drawing another sharp breath from Applejack as the warm, almost buzzing horn circled her clit. Her nethers throbbed in response, more wetness flowing from her, Applejack's body seemingly begging for it. "Is this good?" Twilight asked, taking mental notes of every twitch and moan that came from Applejack, gently doing figure eights around her bead with her horn. "Fer heaven's sake, Twilight, quit teasin'!" Applejack said with a definite blush. "Teasing? Do you not like it?" she asked. "Ah didn't say that," Applejack said, trying to maintain her composure. "But there's a time to warm a mare up and there's a time to shove it in her!" "You want me to shove my horn in you?" Twilight Sparkle's question was totally sincere, but Applejack was dying with arousal. "Sweet Celestia, Twilight, just fuck me already!" Applejack moaned. Twilight Sparkle grinned. "As you wish." "Mmmf!" Applejack grunted as Twilight's horn slipped between her lips and thrust into her entrance. "Ohh, Luna," Applejack moaned as she was filled with a thin, yet heavenly rod. No, it wasn't thick or throbbing like a meaty stallion cock, but it was smooth as could be, and it seemed to radiate a steady, glowing heat that filled Applejack, sinking deep into her flesh and bones. Applejack's wetness made it all too easy for Twilight to slide the whole horn in, and her entrance closed just snugly enough at the base of Twilight's forehead. "That's... hoo, that's somethin' right there," Applejack said. Twilight giggled to herself a little. "I'm glad you like it, because you're making a bit of a mess in my mane," she said. "Oops," Applejack smiled sheepishly as she saw the shining streaks mussing Twilight's hair. "Sorry. Can't really help it. Ah've always been like that." "I think it's appropriate for an Apple to be juicy," Twilight said. "Did you just- Ah!" Applejack was cut off as Twilight thrust her forehead into Applejack. Her horn sank deep into Applejack's body, filling her with rigid heat, yet soft tingles. The broad skull at the base of it all only pressed into Applejack's outer folds, applying an even pressure to her marehood and clit, like grinding into the base of a stallion's crotch. The pleasure of it all was making Applejack a little giddy, and Twilight had barely started to move. The alicorn continued with slow, steady thrusts, finding a rhythm and angle that would best please Applejack and still be easy on her neck. "I guess I'm doing something right," she said beneath the steady stream of Applejack's pleasured grunts and groans. "Uhhh, you can say that again," the earth pony moaned. "Gosh, it feels like yer buzzin' in me." "Oh! If you like buzzing, I can do that!" Twilight offered excitedly. Her magic flared, and Applejack's eyes shot open. "Ah! Ohhhh," she moaned as her entire marehood was set alight with a heavy vibration. Applejack had never felt anything like it, but suddenly she wished she had found unicorns more attractive in the past. Everything seemed to tingle and pulse, from her throbbing lips to her tightening passage to her aching clit. Never had she felt such pleasure build in her so quickly, but it was coming like a stampede. "Ohh, Twilight! Fuck me! Uhh, fuck me!" Twilight could only oblige. She pressed her head into Applejack, shoving her horn into her pussy harder and harder, slowly turning up the vibration until she could feel it all in her skull. Yet this only doubled the sensation for Applejack, as every part of Twilight her marehood touched buzzed heavily, humming in ecstasy. Her juices flowed, and she bucked her hips back into Twilight's thrusts, her orgasm building quickly. "Twilight! Ah'm gonna cum! Ah! Uhhh!" Then, she gave her final thrust, shoving Twilight's horn deep into her pussy as she went over the edge. "Yee-haw!" Her entire body seemed to surge, overtaken by the massive orgasm that wracked every limb and muscle with climactic release. Her sturdy body was jerking in ecstatic throes, and her great marehood was quivering, juices spurting from her as her clit sang, the buzzing, throbbing music of it lancing through her belly and down her spine. She moaned and cried out so much that she, too, was left breathless, her limbs drained of energy. She could only flop back as Twilight withdrew, a light sheen of sweat beginning to form on her coat and forehead. "I take it that was satisfying?" Twilight asked, her head poking into Applejack's vision from above. "Because I know mares are capable of serial orgasms, so if you want more-" "No more," Applejack said. "Ah don't think Ah could take much more of that. Whew." She stared up at the ceiling for a moment, trying to catch her breath. Twilight Sparkle just smiled. "I guess we're even, then." Applejack nodded. "Shoulda done this a long time ago." "I don't think we were ready," Twilight said. "We needed time to get to know each other. As friends. If we weren't as close as we are, I would have never considered doing anything like this." Applejack understood exactly what she meant. "C'mere," she said. Twilight hesitated only for a moment before laying down next to Applejack, letting the bigger mare wrap her hooves around her shoulders, pressing her head into her body, resting her face on her great orange chest. "Does this mean...?" she asked quietly. "What do ya want?" Applejack said. "Say it." Her heart had never been so loud and clear. "I want you." Applejack tilted her head and planted a slow, warm kiss to Twilight's messy mane. "Ah want you too." The two smiled wide, closing their eyes, listening to each other's heartbeat and breathing. "It feels like we've been like this for a long time," Twilight said. "Well, we have been, in a way. Just not this close. But Ah've always loved you, Twi. With everything Ah got." "I love you, too, Applejack," Twilight whispered. She kissed Applejack's neck before pressing her cheek back to her chest. Then her eyes widened. "What are we going to tell everypony?" "We'll tell 'em when we're ready for 'em to know. Not a moment sooner, not a moment later. Ya hear?" Twilight smiled. "You're always so sure of these things." "Ah'm Applejack. Ain't nothing gonna go wrong if Ah got somethin' to say about it." Twilight nuzzled Applejack. "I trust you." "Good. Now get some sleep. Reckon we're gonna have a big appetite in the mornin'." Twilight grinned devilishly. "Will that be because of tonight, or because of what we'll do tomorrow morning?" "Little of both, I reckon," Applejack answered, smiling back as she closed her eyes. It was all too easy for them to fall asleep next to one another. Despite how quickly everything had changed, being with each other was as familiar as home. > Pussy's Out of the Bag > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ah, A-Applejack," Twilight Sparkle huffed as her eyes rolled upward. Her legs were spread wide for her marefriend, Applejack's strong hoof massaging her clit in rapid circles. The only light in Applejack's bedroom was that of the moon and the soft violet glow of Twilight's magic. "I think I'm about to orgasm," she announced. "Right there with ya, pardner," Applejack confirmed. Even as she stood over Twilight, her tail was raised high and her hindlegs trembled as her clitoris shimmered and hummed with her marefriend's magical stimulation. As a magical expert, the heat, the gentle buzz, and the soft pressure on her big button was better than anything she had felt from any ordinary touch, and it left the quilted blanket beneath her sticky with her copious mare juices. Applejack's circular strokes kneaded harder and harder into Twilight's lips, quicker and quicker, and suddenly Twilight cried out. "Applejack!" "Ah! Ah'm cummin' too! Fuck!" the farmpony called in response. Both of their hips jerked at once, Applejack's balance giving out as she toppled forward onto Twilight. The princess's hooves wrapped around her marefriend's thick neck, and her hips bucked instinctually, grinding against Applejack's firm chest as pleasure overtook her. Meanwhile, Applejack buried her muzzle into Twilight's belly, moaning loudly and freely as her rump and tail remained raised, her female fluids gushing over her thighs and soaking the bed beneath her. Together, they filled Applejack's room with grunts of satisfaction and breathy moans, until heavenly moment passed and the two could only lie together in afterglow. "Phew," Applejack said, rolling over and reclining on the bed, resting her head in her hooves. "Ah swear it gets better every time we do it." "I agree," Twilight said, resting her head on Applejack's chest, snuggling into her. "It's difficult to rate pleasure, but I certainly think we're coming to know the ins and outs of each other's bodies and sexual preferences." Applejack knew to expect Twilight's analytical response by now. "Ah didn't quite mean it like that. Ah think every time will feel like the best time. Don't you?" "Certainly," Twilight said. "Although I'm surprised by your drive, Applejack. It's certainly something I didn't expect from you." The way her hoof rubbed into Applejack's chest indicated that she didn't mind at all. "Yeah, we Apples got reputations fer bein' hornier than jackrabbits. Ah just hope y'all can keep up," she said with a grin. Twilight grinned back. "Is that a test? Because you know how I feel about those," she responded. Applejack chuckled and gave Twilight a firm, affectionate squeeze around her shoulders, pressing her soft body into her sweaty coat. But Twilight broke the peace of the moment. "You know we can't keep this a secret much longer." Applejack nodded seriously for a beat before answering. "Ah know. Ah can't imagine Big Mac hasn't heard us, seein' as how he's right next to us. And Ah think Pinkie's catchin' on too. Pinkie Sense an' all." "It's certainly going to be a little awkward for everypony," Twilight said. "I don't think my family expected this at all. Yours too, I'd wager. And our friendships with the others certainly aren't going to be the same again." "Everything'll be okay," Applejack reassured her. "I've been waitin' ta tell mah family fer a while now, but I wasn't sure you were ready. But Ah know we'll make it work. After all, what's the worst that could happen? Ah mean, really?" Twilight nodded back. "I suppose you're right. Our friends and family will always love us, no matter what." There was another moment of silence as the two relaxed. This time, Applejack broke it. "Y'all know ya gotta tell Princess Celestia too, right?" Twilight's ears flattened down. "Don't remind me." But Applejack chuckled, gave Twilight a few reassuring pats, and let the warmth between the two of them soothe her worries so that both could sleep. "No use worrying. Whatever comes will come tomorrow," she said. And Twilight Sparkle felt better. "Applejack!" Granny Smith's raspy call sounded from downstairs. "Wash yer hooves up and come down to breakfast!" Applejack's eyes snapped open and she sat up. The light of the rising sun filtering in through her window roused Twilight, who sleepily sat up next to her marefriend. "Morning already?" she asked. "It's breakfast time," Applejack said. "We gotta tell 'em." "Right," Twilight said. She brought her hooves to the floor and levitated a hairbrush to try and straighten her messy mane, but Applejack sat stone still. "AJ? Are you alright?" "Ah don't think Ah can do it," she said. "Lookin' Big Mac in the eye and tellin' him Ah'm a fillyfooler? No way no how." Twilight rolled her eyes. "Oh, Applejack, really? What if Big Mac told you he was attracted to stallions?" Applejack raised an eyebrow. "Ah suppose Ah wouldn't mind, but Ah know he ain't-" "It doesn't matter," Twilight cut her off. "You're a family. Don't think of it as coming out. Think of it as telling them you're in a happy relationship." Applejack steadied herself with a deep exhale. "Ah suppose it is somethin' to celebrate." "Exactly," Twilight responded. She levitated the brush over to Applejack and picked up her straw-colored mane, running the brush through quickly. "Now hold still. If you go downstairs looking like that, they'll know before we even tell them." Applejack could only blush. As they stepped down the stairs and into the kitchen, the smell of baked apples wafted up to them. The picnic blanket tablecloth was filled to the brim with hot foot, from apple-covered flapjacks to eggs and hay bacon to oat cereal, plus tall mugs of cider and cold milk. Granny Smith had certainly outdone herself, and Big MacIntosh wasn't the only one with a plate piled high. Granny Smith didn't even turn her head from the stove as she heard her granddaughter's hoofsteps enter the room. "You sure slept in, Applejack. Musta had some good dreams," she commented. "Slept in?" Twilight commented softly, motioning her head toward the crack of dawn outside. Applejack just shrugged. But Big Mac and Apple Bloom's eyes were wide as they saw Twilight. "Yer still here, Twilight? Did ya sleep over?" Now Granny Smith turned around, and all of Applejack's family cocked their heads at their unexpected guest. "Ah guess you could say that," Applejack said. She took her seat, and Twilight pulled up a chair next to her. "Well, always room at the Apples' table fer one more," Granny Smith said as she took her own seat. "Thank you very much," Twilight replied. The gathered ponies dug in, but apart from the sounds of silverware on dishes, no pony spoke. Applejack's family didn't want to ask why Twilight was still here, and Applejack didn't want to say anything. But Twilight nudged her in the ribs with her wing, and with a firm glance that said "Well?" Applejack knew she couldn't let the mystery lie. She took a deep breath. "So Ah guess Ah- well we- got somethin' ta tell y'all." Apple Bloom was the only one who seemed unable to guess what was coming, but Granny Smith asked anyway. "What is it, sugarcube?" Applejack took one more breath to calm her nerves. "It ain't easy to say, so Ah'm just gonna say it." She gulped. "Twilight and I are marefriends." Apple Bloom's eyes were wider than her plate. Big Mac hardly reacted, but Granny Smith's mouth curved into a wry grin. "Is that so?" she turned to her grandson. "Big Mac, did you know anything about this?" "Eeyup," he said with a firm nod. "How?" Applejack asked. "Ah didn't tell y'all nothin'!" Granny Smith chuckled. "Oh, Applejack, his room's right across from ya. Yer little 'sleepover' probably kept him up all night." "Eeyup." Applejack blushed furiously. All she could do was draw her hat over her face and hope the moment would pass quickly. But Apple Bloom could hold back her questions no longer. "But yer both mares, so how can you be marefriends?" Applejack's mouth hung open as she attempted to find a safe answer. "Uhhh... well, um..." Twilight Sparkle, however, smiled at her graciously. "That's easy. We just do all the things that a mare and a stallion do when they're dating." "You go on dates?" she asked. "Of course," Twilight answered calmly. "You nuzzle each other?" "Yes, yes." "Y'all kiss and stuff?" Twilight's cheeks were starting to redden. "Yes, we've kissed." Thankfully, Apple Bloom didn't press further. "Wow," she said. "Well that's great, Applejack!" The orange mare withdrew from her hiding place under her hat. "Really?" "Oh, of course, sugarcube," Granny Smith said. "It's been a while since we've had a switcher in the family, but my granduncle preferred the stallions too, if Ah do recall. Plus Twilight's practically family already. Seems like a natural fit for everypony." "Eeyup," Big Mac signaled his approval. Applejack blushed again, but this time with bashfulness. "Aw, shucks, everypony. Y'all are the best family a mare could ask for." "Oh, don't you go gettin' all sentimental on us," Granny Smith said. "You two just eat up. If yer gonna make today yer comin' out day, yer gonna need full bellies." The two mares nodded as they dug in. The early breakfast only served to fuel the two for lunch. They spent the morning preparing a picnic where they could gather all their friends in one place to tell them the news. The warm reception from Applejack's family gave them plenty of confidence in themselves, and as they laid out their spread, Twilight couldn't help but speculate. "I think Rainbow Dash is going to be the most surprised," Twilight said as she set out drinks. "She doesn't have a romantic bone in her body." "Ah'm not so sure about that," Applejack replied. "Sometimes I wonder if that mare's as straight as she'd like us to think. Ah reckon Fluttershy will come close to faintin'. Even thinkin' about the birds and the bees makes her clam up somethin' fierce." Before the two were even finished setting up in the park, Pinkie Pie was bounding up to them, her ear waggling wildly. When she stopped at the blanket, her eyes grew wide. "Ohmigosh! My Pinkie Sense told me there was a party happening nearby, and here it is, but I didn't think it would be you two throwing it! Am I invited? Please?" "Of course, Pinkie," Twilight answered. She leaped into the air. "Yes!" Looking down at her friends, she asked. "So what's this thing for, anyway?" "Why don't you gather up everypony else and you'll see. It's just a picnic, Pinkie," Applejack told her. Pinkie landed and nodded. "I can do that. But my Pinkie Sense must be getting rusty. I could have sworn this was more of a shindig than a picnic. Hmm," she wandered away, deep in thought. Rainbow Dash arrived well ahead of the group, as usual. "So? What's going on? Is it Winona's birthday or something?" "Y'all are just gonna have to wait, Rainbow," Applejack said. "Argh, it's a secret? C'mon, you know I hate that!" "Trust me, you won't want us to spoil the moment," Twilight said. Rainbow simply hovered above with her arms folded while she waited for the rest to show up. And they did, as curious as the others. "My, this does look lovely," Rarity said as she took in the sight of Applejack and Twilight's simple picnic spread. "What is the occasion?" "I hope everything is okay," Fluttershy added. Twilight just smiled at them. "Take a seat, everypony. We have a bit of an announcement to make." "Ooh! Ooh!" Pinkie's hoof shot up in the air. "You're teaching Apple Bloom to be a princess!" Twilight and Applejack looked at each other, puzzled. "Eh, not quite, Pinkie," Applejack answered. "Oh! I got it! Twilight got knocked up by Big Mac so you're inviting us to the shotgun wedding and you two are gonna be sisters in law!" Twilight turned beet red, her ears laying flat. "Heavens, no!" "You're hiring Twilight to work on the farm to help pay off her massive student loan debt to Celestia so she doesn't get picked up by collections and sent to magic debtors' prison!" Rarity spoke up. "Why don't you let them tell us, Pinkie?" she offered gently. "Is it good news?" Fluttershy asked from the back of the group. "Yes," Twilight answered. She exchanged one more warm look with Applejack. The two reached their hooves to each other, and with that contact they turned to their friends. "Applejack and I are dating!" Twilight announced. There were several moments of stunned silence from the rest. Rainbow Dash's mouth hung open in shock. "Uh... what?" "Ohhhh!" Pinkie spoke up. "So that explains why my pancreas has been acting up!" Rarity's hoof rose to her chin. "Well, darlings, I must say I didn't see this coming." Applejack and Twilight were frozen in suspense, waiting for a true reaction from their friends. "Well, whattya think?" Applejack probed. "What do I think?" Rainbow Dash said. "I think it's awesome!" Twilight let out a small sigh of relief. "Really?" "Totally! I mean, Applejack was like, your first friend in Ponyville, right? And if you two are into mares, then it's so much better to let it out than to keep it a secret. Just because I don't need anyone to weigh me down doesn't mean that I'm not totally stoked for you guys." "I agree," Rarity said. "Having friends is wonderful, but everypony wants that special somepony to be extra close with - unless you're Rainbow Dash, I suppose." "I think it's a good match," Fluttershy added. "You two have a lot more in common than you might think." "Ah just hope this don't make anything weird for y'all," Applejack said. Rainbow Dash answered, "Well, it might be a little awkward knowing you two might sneak off to go rolling in the hay with each other, but I don't think it's that big a deal." "Rainbow! Manners!" Rarity admonished. "What? I'm just saying, if they're gonna be with each other, I wanna get some dirt out of it." "Must you be so crude?" Twilight Sparkle just laughed. "It's alright, Rarity. I'm glad you're all so accepting of us." "Ah think we'd rather be totally honest with y'all than try to keep anything a secret. We don't want to keep you guys out of this," Applejack added. "And of course we'll do whatever we can do support you," Fluttershy said warmly. "You'd do the same for us if we were in relationships, after all." "Hugs!" Pinkie Pie spoke up. And the six of them wrapped each other up in their hooves, squeezing tightly. When they released, Rainbow Dash landed and started piling food onto her plate. "So, I gotta know. Which one of you's on top?" Rarity scolded her while Twilight and Applejack blushed. The afternoon was spent quickly. Rarity wanted to know how they first came to the realization of their attraction, and if their families knew, whether Twilight would come out to Equestria at large, and who else they planned to tell. But once the initial questions were fielded, things shifted back to normal. They helped Applejack around the farm, relaxed at Twilight's castle, played with their pets, and shared dinner together, hours passing without much of a mention of the new relationship. But every once in a while Applejack would lean over and quietly nuzzle Twilight's neck, and the two were pleased to be able to show their affection openly. Once night fell, their friends left the castle after a day of fun. Twilight and Applejack sat in their thrones, at ease after a full day. "It's gettin' late," Applejack commented. "You should stay with me tonight. After all, we had our sleepover at the farm last night," she said. "Ah reckon Ah'll take ya up on that," Applejack agreed. She grinned and raised an eyebrow at Twilight. "So whaddya say we head on up to your room and spend the rest of the night gettin' nasty?" "Applejack! Is that all you think about?" Applejack wrapped a hoof around Twilight's neck, leaning over to speak into her ear. "Hard not to when you're around, sugarcube." Twilight smiled sheepishly, but said, "Well, I suppose it has been a while since we've had the time and space to really enjoy ourselves." "Great! Race ya up there!" Applejack called, already out the door. Twilight rolled her eyes as she followed. When she entered her bedroom, Applejack was already lying over the covers, patting the blankets with a wry smile. "Eager, are we?" Twilight teased. "'Course Ah am. Now get yer butt over here and get this bed rockin'!" Twilight did as asked. When Applejack was horny, she didn't beat around the bush or take her time with foreplay. As soon as Twilight was lifting her hoof to climb onto the big crystal bed, Applejack was pulling her on top of her. Twilight's little yelp was smothered by Applejack's lips pressing into hers. Gone was the tender, careful experimentation of their first time together; now Applejack meant business. Her tongue slid effortlessly past Twilight's lips, and the heat from her breath washed over her face. While caught off-guard, Twilight was happy to reciprocate. If it was a romp Applejack wanted, a romp she would get. The purple princess used her position on top to push Applejack down to the mattress, barraging her with heavy kisses, her hooves roaming over Applejack's fit body. She didn't have to check between her legs to know she was ready for action, but Twilight wanted foreplay and she was ready to make Applejack suffer to get it. "I thought you said you wanted this to take all night?" Twilight murmured into Applejack's ear. Applejack's composure wasn't so easy to break, though. "Since when have you been such a tease?" she replied, nibbling Twilight's neck. "It's all too easy when you're pent-up like this," Twilight said. "You really are cute when you're horny." "Oh, am Ah?" Applejack said. "Trouble is, Ah can be mighty pushy, too." With that, Applejack grabbed Twilight by the shoulders and rolled her over, positioning herself on top of Twilight and letting her lips travel down the alicorn's body, dragging her teeth through her coat as well. "Applejack," Twilight moaned, the protest in her tone halfhearted. But Applejack wasn't so eager to get straight to the point. If Twilight wanted foreplay, she'd get her foreplay. The princess huffed loudly as Applejack took a nipple into her mouth. Twilight's teats were dainty, but her nipples were hard with arousal. Applejack wasn't gentle with them, though. She pursed her lips around the violet nubs, swirling her tongue around the flesh and nibbling ever so gently with her teeth. Already the heat was building in Twilight's body, the sensations electric in her abdomen. "That's... not fair," Twilight complained. "Oh? Like you teasin' was fair?" Applejack came back. "No," Twilight said. "You can't do that if you won't let me return the favor." Applejack had to smile. Twilight was considerate and thorough, if nothing else. She stood, shifting her rear over Twilight's head, straddling her with her hindlegs. She let Twilight reach up with her hoof, stroking her strong flanks, gently lowering her down toward her own lips. Applejack's teats were full and heavy above Twilight's face. The mare certainly had some meat on her, and her large nipples dangled tantalizingly before her eyes. When she was low enough, Twilight craned her neck up to take them into her mouth. Applejack's soft nubs filled her lip pleasantly, and she suckled and teased with her tongue in a way she knew would send shivers down her marefriend's spine. But even as Applejack's legs wobbled on either side of Twilight's head, she remained playful. Releasing Twilight's own buds with a pop, she let her tongue out to flick at the hardened flesh, circling around it and letting it dance on her tongue. The way Twilight trembled at her touch was simply adorable. Twilight on the other hoof was methodical. She reached up with her hooves to knead and massage Applejack's large teats, enjoying every bit of the big mare above her. Applejack's body was radiating warmth down on her, and she could feel her husky moans rumbling through her own body as she pleasured her, Twilight stifling small gasps to continue her ministrations. She knew her treatment was working, as she could feel Applejack beginning to drip onto her mane. But it was no matter; her hair was bound to be a mess by the time they fell asleep anyway. As much as Applejack enjoyed Twilight's careful tongue on her nipples, her needy impatience was starting to get the best of her. As she played with Twilight's nipples, she reached a hoof further, sliding them between her marefriend's thighs to stroke her soft fur. She could feel hot breath wash over her teats in anticipation, and Applejack knew she had her signal to push her hoof onto Twilight's folds. Her marehood was warm and inviting, and Applejack was pleased to feel a fair bit of Twilight's own wetness staining her hoof as she parted her lips. "Looks like Ah'm not the only one makin' things messy 'round here," she said. Twilight released Applejack's nipple with a pop, but her expression was clearly embarrassed. "Oh my gosh. Really? I'm sorry." Applejack couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't you worry. Just lets me know yer havin' fun. Sure makes a pussy look mighty appetizing," she said. Before Twilight could fully respond, Applejack shoved her face between Twilight's legs, letting her tongue push her labia aside as she gave her a full, heavy lick down her slot. Twilight moaned loudly, and Applejack turned back to her marefriend for a moment to see her reaction. Twilight looked a little dazed at the feeling of Applejack's tongue invading her and stroking her clit. "Oh, Celestia," she said, letting her head hit the sheets. "Glad ya like," Applejack said. With that, she brought another groan out of Twilight as she jammed her muzzle into Twilight's nethers. Applejack was hard and heavy, but what she lacked in finesse she made up for in passion. She pressed her face into Twilight's flesh right up to the nose, letting her tongue work everything it could touch. Twilight's voice hummed behind her as her muscle slipped into Twilight's entrance, worming around inside and filling her with pleasure she never imagined herself enjoying before. "Heavens, Applejack," Twilight sighed. "Oh, you'll be there in a moment, sugarcube," Applejack said. Twilight was practically melting in her hooves, and she was feeling plenty brassy. But every once in a while, Twilight surprised her. "Not before I get some apple pie," she said. "Hm? Oh, fuck!" Applejack cried out as she felt Twilight's tongue slide inside her. The little alicorn probed deep into Applejack's hot depths before moving lower, taking her big clit between her nips and suckling on it in the same way she did Applejack's nipples. But Applejack's marehood was magnitudes more sensitive than her teats, and her head tossed back as the castle was filled the loud noises of her pleasure. "Ohh, that's mighty fine- mmm, Twilight!" Applejack wasn't about t be outdone. While she still had her wits about her, she dove back down, lapping heavily at her marefriend's folds while Twilight slurped at her pussy. Their muffled moans were drowned out by the wet sounds of their tongues rooting around in each other's dripping entrances, and each of their hips bucked as tongues and lips dragged and squeezed their beads. With nothing left to hide, the two mares needed only to focus on satisfying each other and on enjoying themselves, and they did just that. Applejack was free to call and moan, her strong voice echoing off the crystal walls as she assaulted Twilight's pussy, gobbling down like she was a holiday meal. Meanwhile, Twilight didn't have to worry about any distractions or interruptions, and was able to not only let the pleasure Applejack gave her flood her veins, but also to concentrate on every bit of the action. She suckled and flicked her tongue over Applejack's button, feeling the mare shudder above her, bringing her closer and closer to the edge, only to stop and slide upwards, letting her tongue work every bit of Applejack's cunt, taking the time to enjoy the musky, tangy juices that spread across her tongue. It wasn't long before the climaxes came. The mares could feel the tension building between them, threatening to burst at any moment. But they held on as best as they could, drawing out the moment, rubbing, licking, and teasing each other's sensitive marehoods until they simply could not take it any longer. "Ohh, fuck Twilight, Ah'm gonna cum any second here," Applejack warned her marefriend. "Well don't stop!" Twilight pleaded. With one last burst of effort, the two mares latched onto each other's clits, not holding back any longer, filling each other's bodies with fiery pleasure as they squeezed with their lips and circled madly with their tongues. Applejack's hips threatened to grind into Twilight's face as they took on a mind of their own, and Twilight's hooves trembled terribly as she fought to keep control of her body. Then, all at once, orgasm took them, and the two mares were left shaking and spasming on top of one another, making clumsy licks at each others' nethers through the onslaught of pleasure and moans that tore from their lips. But the true pleasure for them was knowing that as good as one's own orgasm felt, the other was feeling the same pleasure, the same heart-pounding throbs of ecstasy that gripped her own body. They soared on the heavenly high together, and when they came down, Applejack could only lie in a slump on top of Twilight. "That..." Twilight said, her horn flaring to remove Applejack's tail from over her eyes. "That was a good idea, Applejack." "I hear that, sugarcube," Applejack said. Twilight was content to lay there, feeling Applejack's heavy breaths and warmth soak into her own body. "I'm really glad we told everypony." "Well, not everypony," Applejack reminded her. She rested her leg on Twilight's thigh, and while the smell of her moist sex roused her instincts again, at the same time it was a comfort to her, another layer of intimacy to enjoy. "We still gotta tell the princesses. And yer family. And Spike fer that matter." "If he hasn't heard us already," Twilight face-hoofed. "Sweetheart, y'all know it's gonna be fine. Shining Armor's gonna be thrilled." Twilight smiled, imagining her older brother's big, nearly crushing hug at the news that she, too, had found love just as he had. She still remembered how proud she was at his wedding. "You're right," she said. "It should be something to look forward to. I know they're going to love you." "Ah'm proud to be included," Applejack said. "But it's no use worryin' 'bout that now. Tonight, it's just us." "I'm glad," Twilight said. "I'm glad I have you." Applejack finally squirmed around until she could nuzzle Twilight's neck, and the two held each other on her soft sheets for a long moment, basking in each other's glow, the stillness preserved in pale night. "So how 'bout another go at it?" Applejack offered. Twilight's surprise was overcome by a genuine laugh. "Are you still aroused?" "Ah said we were gonna go all night, and these lips don't lie, sugarcube," she said. Twilight shook her head. "I don't know how a mare couldn't be satisfied after all that," she said. "It's not just a matter of bein' horny," Applejack said. "Today was a great day fer us. Ah want to end it with a great night. A night Ah'll never forget. A night filled with... well, passion and lovemakin' and stuff. Y'know?" The romantic words felt awkward in her throat, and she cleared it a bit before adding quietly, "But fer the record, Ah'm still pretty damn horny." Twilight just kissed Applejack on the cheek, and looked up at her with a sweet smile. "Then let's not worry about me, alright? I love you Applejack, and if you still want to make love, then I'll do my best to give you orgasm after orgasm until you can't take any more." Applejack blushed at the sweet, yet very dirty talk. But her mouth tore open in a moan as she felt a warm, buzzing force grip her clitoris, massaging her folds, and coaxing another coat of wetness from her nethers. "Ahh- Twilight." Twilight nibbled her ear. "Relax. Just enjoy." Applejack nibbled her ear back. "Love ya, sugarcube." Applejack's moans once again filled the room as Twilight tended to her lover's needs, and Applejack kept her muzzle planted firmly in Twilight's neck, repeating herself again and again as the night wore on between them.
