After proving herself to be a capable Princess, Twilight is given jurisdiction over Ponyville.
This is a direct sequel. Prior reading is strongly recommended. Twilight Sparkle has proven herself to be a capable Princess. Celestia has decided to give her a small slice of Equestria, Ponyville, to rule as she sees fit. And she know just the thing that she wants to change first!
It had been a few years since Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor spent that Brohoof Bash with the Apples. Since then, the four of them have tried to get together as often as Shining could get away from the Crystal Empire. They did as much as they could, within the letter of the law. But despite the new-found outlet that they had, the illicit desire they held had not lessened in the slightest. It was a constant test of will for them to resist eachother.
But Twilight had to be careful. Ever since her ascension, she was in the public eye more than ever. It became incredibly difficult to get away with the Apples for their little trysts. And Twilight knew that a pony has only ever been caught for two reasons: They did something too big; or they did something for too long. And after a long enough time, the probability of them being caught would eventually become one hundred percent.
And just like that, Twilight received a summons to Canterlot Castle.
Twilight Sparkle sat nervously at the royal dining table in Canterlot. But it was long after dinner. The sun had already been set and the moon had just risen. There was only two times in the day that a meeting like this could occur.
At the royal shift-change.
Opposite her were Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadance. Luna rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Celestia likewise looked tired, having been up since before the dawn. And Cadance looked burnt-out from the long train ride all the way down south from the Crystal Empire. None of them looked thrilled to be there.
The room was silent but for the occasional shuffling of papers as they were each reading over a thick packet in a set of folders. Luna leaned over to her elder sister, pointing at something in her folder, bringing it to her attention without a word. Celestia frowned disapprovingly.
Twilight could hear her own heart pounding in her ears. She had been summoned to Canterlot, but she was not told why. When she arrived, she was directed to the royal dining room and instructed to take a seat. So she sat. She sat and waited for something, anything, as an explanation for her summons. None came. The other three continued to deliberate silently. Cadance showed something to Luna. What it was, Twilight had no idea. She feared the worst.
Oh no. They know about me and Shining Armor. They know about Applejack and Big Macintosh. They know about what we've been doing! But we didn't do anything -illegal- in the strictest sense of the word. We were so careful, how did they find out?
Twilight tried to keep a cool demeanor on the exterior. She hoped that she wasn't sweating as obviously as it felt like she was. Celestia seemed to finish and returned the papers into the folder, sitting back in her chair. She looked to Luna. Luna shook her head 'no'. She looked the other way to Cadance. Cadance shrugged noncommittally, glancing at Twilight and then back to Celestia with a small smirk.
Cadance knows! Shining told her. He said he would have to. He said he never kept secrets from her. She must have told the other Princesses!
Twilight's heart pounded faster. She feared what would happen to her.
I'm going to be stripped of my title! My wings! Is it going to hurt? It probably will! And what about Shining!?
Her concern shifted to her brother, whom she loved more dearly than any other pony in the world. She knew she would die to protect him, just as she knew he would do the same for her.
What are they going to do to him? They geld ponies for that don't they? But he's a prince! They can't do that, can they?
Celestia and Cadance both looked back at Luna, trying, it seemed, to convince her of something. Luna crossed her hooves in defiance, but relaxed after a moment and rolled her eyes in peer-pressured surrender. The three of them sat back in their chairs and looked at Twilight. Celestia wrapped up the bundle of papers in twine.
"Yes," Celestia said. Twilight gulped and looked back and forth among the three of them in confusion. Could they read her mind? Yes to what? What had they agreed upon for me? Celestia answered only by picking up the bundle and tossing it across the table landing in front of Twilight.
Twilight's Kingdom
"Twilight's Kingdom?" Twilight said aloud.
"At least she can read," Luna remarked.
"Luna!" Celestia scolded, and turned back to Twilight. "Twilight, you have proven yourself to be a good leader and a moral pony. That was why you had been made a Princess." Celestia looked to Luna.
"Even we do not completely understand the magic will of the Tree of Harmony, but it seems that it has chosen Ponyville to be your kingdom. We have decided to trust in the tree's wisdom, and see if you are indeed ready to be a ruler," Luna said.
"At dawn, tomorrow, the town of Ponyville will be under your jurisdiction to rule as you see fit. Congratulations," Cadance said. Celestia recovered the folder from Twilight and rose from the table.
"These proceedings are closed," Celestia said, and walked out of the room, followed by Cadance. Luna stopped at the door for just a moment.
"Do not disappoint us, Twilight." Luna closed the door behind her.
Twilight remained at the table, sitting in the dim candle light.
"My own kingdom!?" She said to herself. She looked down at her hooves. They were shaking. She was relieved that she and her brother had not been discovered, but the idea of being in charge of and entire kingdom frightened her. "Ponyville." Twilight got a hold of herself. She knew Ponyville. She could walk from one end to the other in less than an hour. How hard could it be to manage a town that small? It was just a test, she reasoned. A 'practice' kingdom to prepare her for the real thing someday. And besides, Ponyville already had somepony managing it.
Even still, leading the Elements of Harmony was one thing. And a task force for Winter Wrap Up was another. But to manage an entire town? That was something she had no experience in whatsoever. The other three princesses had experience with ruling. But she couldn't go to them for advice now. Not after they just gave her the independence to rule for herself. It would shake their confidence in her. She needed to talk to somepony who knew how to run a town. And to Twilight, that meant just one pony. With a plan materializing in her mind, she rose from the table and made for the exit.
Twilight Sparkle took the red-eye train back to Ponyville. The town would be hers to rule at dawn. And she didn't want to miss a single moment. She didn't roll into the town station until after midnight. She could get a few hours of sleep. But she was too excited to sleep tonight. She spent the wee hours of the night pacing in her tree castle, her mind a flurry of ideas, until it was so late in the night that it was early.
The hour of the dawn approached. Twilight poured herself a cup of coffee and freshened up her mane in the mirror. She turned her head from side to side. Even with her wings folded behind her, she didn't feel like she looked like a princess. Her mane wasn't wavy, but then neither was Cadance's. She didn't look regal or even any taller. She looked the same as she always did. She took a deep breath. She admitted that at the very least she looked... ready.
Twilight walked out of the front door of her castle into Ponyville. She made a bee line for Town Hall, stopping in front of the door, counting down in her head. ...four... three...two... The sun breached the horizon. Twilight tried the knob. The door was locked. She waited another moment. It was still locked. It was dawn. Ponyville was officially now her kingdom. And she as locked out of her own Town Hall. In the window beside the door, the hours of operation were posted.
Monday - Friday 9-5
It would not be open for another three hours. Twilight waited anxiously, pacing in a circuit along the perimeter of the round structure. She arrived back at the door a couple minutes later. It had not miraculously unlocked, and time had not advanced any faster. Twilight tried to shake off her anxious feeling. But she had so many plans and ideas, and so many questions. But standing and waiting accomplished nothing productive. There was only one other place that she knew of that would be open this early. Twilight walked to Sugar Cube Corner.
The jingle of the bakery's doors bell announced her entrance.
"Just a moment please!" came a voice from the kitchen. Twilight recognized it as Cup Cake. She trotted out a minute later, her hooves covered in flour. "Good morning Princess Twilight!" She did a quick curtsy. "What can I get for you? There's not much ready at the moment I'm afraid, the bread is still baking. But there are a few things from yesterday that are still good if you'd like."
"That apple turnover looks good," Twilight said, pointing through the window at the pastries on display.
"Let me put it in the oven real quick and warm it up for you," Mrs. Cake said, taking the pastry into the kitchen, returning with it on a plate steaming a couple minutes later. Twilight took her time to enjoy it. "So what has you up this early?"
"Well today, I'm officially the Princess of Ponyville."
"But- you've been a princess for a while now."
"True. But I guess before it was more of a figurehead sort of thing," Twilight said. "Today I officially begin as acting Princess of Ponyville. That means that I would have jurisdiction separate from Princess Celestia, like the Crystal Empire."
"We've seceded!?" Cup Cake asked.
"No, no! It's nothing like that!" Twilight assured her. "It's like the Crystal Empire, ruled by another princess, but still a part of Equestria."
"Oh." The answer seemed to calm her. "Will there be anything else?"
"No. I just needed something to eat. All I've had for breakfast was coffee, and I need to kill some time before I meet with Mayor Mare."
"Well when you go to see her, tell her I said 'hi'."
"I will."
It was nine o'clock. Twilight stood in front of the Town Hall door again. There was something very wrong with the world in that moment, for the door was still locked. Twilight looked at the clock tower. The hand moved to 9:01. This is madness! Twilight was nearly shaking. A public official, tardy? Twilight heard the mechanical lock of the door click undone from the other side. Twilight quickly opened the door, pulling it from Mayor Mare's surprised hoof.
"Good morning!" Twilight greeted.
"Oh my! Uh, good morning, Your Highness."
"It certainly is! Do you know why it is?" Twilight asked excitedly.
"It's Arbor day?"
"No... Well, yes, but it is also the day I become Princess of Ponyville," Twilight said.
"Are you not, already?"
"Well now I am officially the Princess of Ponyville, with all the power and title granted within."
"Oh...kay...then. Are you personally telling everypony this?"
"No. I'm here today because we have a lot of work to do."
"We do?"
"We do. You're going to help teach me how to run a town."
"Oh no-"
"Oh yes. I want to learn everything! So there's no time to lose." Twilight trotted past her inside the hall. Her first stop would be the records room. If she was going to state legislating policy, she needed to get familiar with some existing ones.
-----
Mayor Mare hovered in the doorway of the records room. Despite Twilight seeking her out to teach her how to lead a town, she had asked little after her initial arrival. Twilight, instead, was digging through filing cabinets and boxes of old decrees and laws. Everything from the town's founding charter to minor zoning ordinances.
"Is there something in particular I can help you find?" Mayor Mare asked. Twilight looked up at her from her seat on the floor.
"Why yes, could you direct me to the law against incest so I can repeal it so I can finally have sex with Shining Armor?"
"No thank you," Twilight said. "I'm just... browsing." Mayor Mare looked at the clock on the wall.
"Well if you're all set here, I need to get to my office and do... mayor stuff."
"Uh huh." Twilight nodded, engrossed in another treatise of legalese. Mayor Mare took the opportunity to slip away. Twilight continued to pour over the papers until nearly lunch time. "Ah HA!" Twilight's eyes lit up. She had found it at last. The document that she had been searching for. 'The Prohibition of Carnal Consanguineous Relations'.
She quickly retrieved a quill and parchment, copying down the body of the text and the reference information for its location. Searching through the mountain of paperwork was the easy part. Next came the hard part.
Twilight filed her copy of the information away in her bag, and restored the room to the state in which she had found it. She trotted to Mayor Mare's office.
"Mayor Mare?" she asked from the doorway. The mayor put down her daisy sandwich from her lunch.
"Ah, Princess Twilight! I'm glad you're here. I have some things for you to sign."
"For me to sign?" Twilight asked.
"Yes. As the Princess, you must sign off on this legislation. Normally I would have to send this paperwork to Canterlot for Princess Celestia to sign, but now I don't have to!" She smiled, pushing the stack of paperwork across her desk toward Twilight.
"Do I have to sign all of these right now?" she asked.
"Of course not, if you need time to read them. But as soon as possible, preferably by the end of today," she said.
"Is there someplace I could sit?" Twilight asked.
"Oh my gosh! Forgive me, please-" Mayor Mare grabbed a chair from the next room and brought it into the office, on the opposite side of the desk from hers. "Here you go." Twilight sat down at the desk. Mayor Mare returned to her own desk and finished eating her lunch while Twilight went over the paperwork.
Most of it looked familiar to what she had seen in the records room. Various appropriations for town funds, new policies and proposals awaiting approval.
"What's this? 'Repeal of ordinance 4PP13'?" Twilight asked, pointing at the paper. Mayor Mare leaned across the desk and looked at it.
"Let's see, 4PP13 was a law about..." she flipped through her binder of reference papers, pulling out and older one, "Ah, here we go. 4PP13 was a law forbidding the use of land plot grid 41.883632, -71.352260 for agricultural use due to soil exhaustion. But that was decades ago, and the land has recovered by now. This act would repeal the law and allow for the land to be owned and used as farmland."
"And what about this part at the bottom? 'can not be used for an apple orchard'?" Twilight asked. Mayor Mare smiled.
"Miss Applejack is a sitting member of the town committee. Rightfully so as the Apples and Sweet Apple Acres are pillars of our community. I believe she was intending to prevent any competition with her farm."
"And that can just get added on?"
"Yes. In the 'biz' we call that 'footnoting'. It makes it more convenient since it doesn't require an entire separate law to be written. It just requires a second signature to indicate that it was present on the paperwork at the time of your signing."
"Can I attend these town committee meetings?" Twilight asked.
"Your attendance isn't required any more than Princess Celestia's ever was. But it would be a good attraction for the other citizens to attend and be active in the community. The next meeting is this Saturday. I would encourage it if you could attend."
"Could I propose bills?" Twilight asked.
"Y- yes... As a residing citizen of Ponyville that is within your rights," Mayor Mare explained. Twilight clapped her hooves excitedly.
"Excellent. I will be there!"
Saturday could not come fast enough for Twilight. News had spread of her attending the town meeting, and many citizens wanted to spend an extended period in the same room as the resident princess. The hall was filled, standing room only. The mayor called the meeting to order. It was the same boring town meeting as in the past, with a few ponies proposing ideas, and requesting earmarks. Twilight simply sat and waited until everypony else was finished.
"Are there any others?" Mayor Mare asked. Twilight Sparkle stood up, raising her hoof. "Yes? Princess Sparkle?" Twilight cleared her throat.
"I've noticed that the Main Street bridge over the river has come into disrepair. I motion for an amount of fifteen thousand bits to pay for repairs based on estimates I've collected from local masons as the lowest bidder." Twilight passed the papers to Mayor Mare, who looked over them quickly.
"That seems reasonable. But what is this? 'The repeal of regulation 1nc35t'?"
"1nc35t is an old regulation prohibiting masons from performing public works over moving water. Effectively preventing them from being able to do the needed repairs. Advances in construction safety equipment have made it obsolete. Its repeal is necessary for the proposal."
"I see. Any objections?" Mayor Mare asked the room. None came. There were no further proposals. She banged the gavel on the podium, bringing the meeting to a close.
Twilight collected the papers and brought them out of the meeting room to her small, temporary office. It was smaller than the mayors. But it suited her just fine. She shuffled through the papers as quickly as she could, seeking out her own bill to sign first.
She had spent the entire week preparing for this moment, to sign this bill. To the casual observer, it seemed innocuous enough. Of all things, why a bridge repair bill? Twilight smirked at her own cunning, as she retrieved her quill and ink well. The regulation prohibiting masons from working over moving water was actually 1nc34T. Its designation was next to 1nc35t, her intended target. Historians might write it off as a clerical error some day. But it didn't concern her tonight. She spent days searching for something over moving water for a mason to repair, damaging it, and then getting estimates for it. She brought her quill to the paper, signing it off in permanent ink on an official government document. With a stroke of her pen, regulation 1nc35t: 'The Prohibition of Carnal Consanguineous Relations' was repealed... and incest in Ponyville was now officially legal.

Dear Prince Shining Armor,
Please come to Ponyville as soon as you are able. I have wonderful news.
Twilight Sparkle stood at the Ponyville train station platform along with many other citizens awaiting the arrival of the train. She stood with all of the poise and grace that was to be expected of a princess. But inside she was positively electric. She wanted to run, and jump and do a back-flip. She wanted to sing at the top of her lungs and dance in a hurricane of excitement. Her mind raced along with her heart. Her legs twinged, rigid, and on-edge. She felt like she was going to explode with energy. But Twilight stood with the continued outward appearance of calm. Prince Shining Armor had replied immediately after receiving the letter.
'I'll be on the next train.'
The next train wasn't for almost a week. It had been a long week but now it was scheduled to arrive in "seventy two seconds... seventy one... seventy..." Twilight shuffled her hooves anxiously when she heard the whistle, heralding the approach of the locomotive.
A voice came over the speaker system, "The train from the Crystal Empire is now arriving."
The smoke stack breached the horizon. The rest of the train appeared behind it. She had to resist the urge to will the train to the station faster with her magic. She would not be able to guarantee stopping it in time, safely. Twilight felt like her teeth were trying to escape her tense jaw. After so many years of waiting, it was finally going to happen. They were finally going to be able to consummate their love.
The door to the train cars opened. Passengers began to file out of the train. Ponies met each other on the platform and embraced. Some were families. Others were more passionate reunions, aggressively kissing one another, onlookers be damned. It was a pure, uninhibited love, that knew neither shame or regret. Twilight's cheeks flushed with heated envy.
Inside, Twilight saw a flash of white fur moving forward from the private caboose. She made a special effort to keep her wings pinned to her sides. At last, after the rest of the ponies had stepped out, she saw him. Her brother, Shining Armor, stepped off of the train. Every fiber of her being wanted to pounce on him right there and kiss him, the ropy muscles of her legs were pulled taught as a piano wire, ready to spring.
"Your Highness," Shining armor greeted with a polite bow.
"Your Highness," Twilight replied with a curtsy, herself. Both of them held the act up for about another microsecond before they both gave in to giggles at the silliness of it. Twilight could feel her body relax with the desperately needed laughter. He leaned in and hugged her, as family would.
And at once she was pressed to his fur. She leaned her head into his mane, taking in his familiar scent. Nothing else in the world smelled like it. It was absolutely unique, incomparable to mere corporal things. It smelled like vague ideas, like 'nostalgia', like 'safety'. She hugged him back harder. The mountains might melt, and the sea may burn, but as long she was in his hooves, it would somehow be okay. She smiled. He smelled like happiness.
"Hey, it hasn't been that long, has it?" he asked, gently pulling himself free. Twilight couldn't help the goofy smile from her face.
"I have wonderful news!" she said in an excited, but hushed tone.
"Yes, I saw in the letter. What is it?" he asked. Twilight glanced around nervously.
"Not here. Let's go back to my castle. I can tell you once we get away from the crowds," she said.
"Okay. Sure." They left the station and walked side-by-side across town toward her castle.
-----
Twilight opened the door and held it for him.
"Please, come inside," she said with a smirk. Shining missed the double entendre, and simply walked inside the castle. Twilight followed behind him and locked the door. The moment the door latched closed Twilight hurled herself across the room at him. Shining caught the blur of purple motion out of the corner of his eye and reflexively put up a hoof to defend himself, accidentally smacking her in the face. Undeterred, Twilight didn't even give him time to apologize before she forced him to the floor, kissing him all over his face and on the lips. Especially on the lips. He kissed her back the first couple of times.
"Hemm- hmmf- hey. Hey!" he tried to say between smooches. He held her head still with his hooves. "Hey, what's all this about?" he asked. "I mean, I'm excited to see you too, but-" he felt her hoof running down his chest to his belly, down lower to his- "Whoa! Hey now, come on!" He stopped her, and lifted her off of him. "You know we can't do that!" She looked hurt briefly, but remembered that she hadn't told him the big news yet.
"Wait here!" She darted upstairs and ran back down with a few rolls of paper.
"What's all this?" he asked, opening the first scroll.
"The big news!" He started reading. She watched his eyes moving along the paper.
"Let's see... blah, blah, blah, Princess Celestia by Royal Decree yada yada..." he skipped ahead "do officially proclaim the town of Ponyville as jurisdiction kingdom under rule of Princess Twilight Sparkle." He looked up from the paper. Twilight had a grin that would put the Cheshire Cat to shame. "So Ponyville is your own kingdom?"
"Yup!"
"Wow! Congratulations! That is big news," he said.
"But wait! There's more!" She passed the next two scrolls to him. He opened the first.
"It's a... requisition to repair a bridge. Oh, you signed this."
"Yup! It was my first act as Princess. But look at the bottom." He read to the end.
"This act formally repeals regulation 1nc35t." He looked up at her with a blank stare. She waited patiently. He opened the second scroll. Unlike the first two which were brand new, the last scroll was very old. "Regulation 1nc35t, oh, this is the law you repealed..." his eyes ran over the old document. He blinked a few time and re-read it. "... prohibition of carnal consanguineous relations... uhhh, what?"
"Consanguineous means relation by blood. In other words, family."
"Oh... and carnal?" he asked. Twilight blushed.
"It means 'sexual'."
"Oh. So you repealed the 'prohibition of sexual family- " he stopped mid sentence and looked up from the paper at her. She saw the realization in his eyes. "...relations'." Twilight smiled even wider. "Twilight, is this real? I mean, is this official?" he asked nervously.
"Yes! I signed it into law a week ago. It's legal in Ponyville!" she said. She leaned in and kissed him again. "And Spike is away for the holiday weekend helping Rarity find gems. So we have the whole castle to ourselves." He kissed her back and dropped the scrolls. Twilight broke the kiss at the sound of the paper shuffling onto the floor. "Wait-" she put a hoof to him, pausing the action, "I need to get these back to the records room at the Town Hall." She collected the papers and put them into her bag. "I'll run them over there and come right back as soon as possible."
Twilight ran as fast as she reasonably could without making a scene. She made short work of getting to the records room, filing the papers away in their proper locations and headed out.
"Princess Twilight!" Mayor Mare caught her at the door. Twilight stopped and did an about-face.
"Yes?"
"I have these items for you to sign, while you're here. I thought that I would save you a trip later."
"Oh, okay. Thank you." Twilight hastily trotted back inside to sign the paperwork as quickly as possible.
"And this... and these... and just a few more, I promise," Mayor Mare said. As Twilight signed each document, Mayor Mare fed them each into a light blue box on her desk. A flash of light emitted from inside and then the document slid out of the bottom.
"What is that?" Twilight asked.
"Oh this? Princess Celestia sent it to my office the day you took over rule of Ponyville. She's asked me to feed your papers through it. Apparently it uses the same spell as Spike's breath to magically send copies of documents to her, while leaving the original here. Amazing isn't it?"
"So everything I've signed, you've sent to her to review?" Twilight asked, feeling her fur standing on end.
"Yes," Mayor Mare answered. "I think she just wanted to make sure things were going smoothly and you weren't trying to do anything too..." Mayor Mare's memory flashed back to the Smarty Pants 'want-it need-it' incident, "...extreme." Twilight's throat went dry. She quickly signed the rest of the papers, and left in a hurry.
She needed to get home and warn Shining Armor. She needed to get him out of Ponyville immediately before the true intent of her plans could be discovered.
This time she made no affordances for appearances. She ran and flew as fast as she could, teleporting herself where she accurately could, outpacing the sound of her own approach. But for the magical properties of the hinges mounting them, did the doors remained attached to their frame as she kicked them in. She needed to contact the princesses before they-
"Greetings, Princess Sparkle," Princess Luna said, standing in Twilight's Castle foyer.
"Hello Twilight," Princess Celestia said, standing beside her younger sister. "We just arrived a few minutes ago. Your brother was kind enough to bid us entrance." Twilight could see Shining Armor standing behind them with their bags and the same 'oh shit' look on his face that Twilight herself was trying desperately to conceal.
"We realize we are early for our weekend vacation at your castle," Luna said, "But Tia was confident that it would not be of any concern."
"You received my letter about our impending arrival, yes?" Celestia asked.
She had sent Spike away with Rarity for the weekend to look for gems.
"Weekend Vacation!? Uh, I- of... course!" Twilight lied. "But... but I haven't had a chance to get Shining caught up on the itinerary. Would you mind filling him in on the details while I make the final preparations for your guest rooms?"
"That's fine," Celestia said, turning to Shining as Twilight bolted upstairs to her bedroom. She had managed to buy herself a few minutes to think, to come up with a plan.
No, wait, she hadn't. She needed to make up a guest room. Two actually. All she had was her own bedroom. Which she had been planning to share with her special somepony. The room adjacent to her own was empty. It had a few basic furnishings and lighting fixtures, but no bed. Twilight focused her magic and vanished from the room, teleporting outside of Quills and Sofas. Across the street was the the Bed & Breakfast. It was a combination bed store and breakfast diner. She didn't question the reasoning behind its existence, only grateful for it. She burst into the front door.
"Your Highness," the clerk greeted. "What an honor it is for-"
"I NEED A BED! THE BIGGEST BEST-EST ONE YOU HAVE!" Twilight said, far louder than was explicitly necessary. It did the job of making the clerk move quickly, running to the back of the store with the princess giving chase. He pointed at a huge, ornate king-size bed .
"This! This is those things!" he said in as frantic a tone as hers. Twilight heaved a large bag of bits at him.
"I'LL TAKE IT!" She leaped onto the bed, vanishing in a flash, along with the bed itself, leaving behind the bag of bits and the faint smell of ozone where the massive bed once was. She reappeared in the guest room of her castle. She had never teleported that large of an object with her before. "Ow." She quickly climbed out of the bed and remade it, neatly folding and tucking the covers. "Shit I need two!" Twilight realized. The store only had the one really nice bed. There was no way she could safely teleport to Canterlot and back with something that large in time. And she couldn't make up another guest room with a regular, plain old bed could she?
"Who would I be more comfortable insulting?" she wondered. Celestia was the elder of the two, but she might be more understanding... no no. Twilight realized she could occupy the other room with her own, over-sized bed, and give herself something simple. "Perfect." She finished preparing the bed and readied to move her own into another guest room. She heard voices approaching.
"... -anterlot...be fine...ithout us for a few days," she heard Luna saying, presumably to Shining Armor.
"And we can move the Sun and Moon from anywhere," Celestia added, reaching the door of the one guest room.
"Princess!" Twilight greeted, trying not to seem out-of-breath.
"Princess," Celestia parroted. Luna looked into the next room from the hallway, finding it empty.
"Just the one room?" Luna asked.
"Well you see- um, it's just that, the thing is-" Twilight stammered, "I uh, had already invited Shining over for the weekend, uh, as you can see." She motioned to her brother with her hoof.
"Yes. We can see that plainly," Luna said.
"Yes. Plainly," Twilight replied with an awkward smile. "But it's just that, I had already invited him, before I got your letter, and I didn't want to cancel his visit, since you know, it's so rare that he's able to get away from the Empire," she said, not explicitly lying. "And um, when I got your letter, I uh, didn't want to say no to that either, since it's so difficult for you two to get away too, I would imagine," she said, stalling.
"And the one guest room?" Luna asked again, growing impatient.
"Yes, the one room, well um, you know me! I'm not one for extravagances. I didn't want to spend a lot of public money on personal effects, so um," She smiled nervously, "One of you are welcome to my bed. Mi casa su casa!" The princesses stood there in silence for a moment.
"Oh Twilight," Celestia shook her head in disappointment, "that will not do at all." Twilight was mortified. She had failed. "We are your guests, but you are our honored host," she said.
"We applaud your frugality. But we could not possibly force you from your own bed," Luna said. "You are a princess after all. You are as much our peer as Princess Cadenza." Celestia walked into the room.
"This bed is wonderful," Celestia said, pressing her hoof into the plush covers. "And it is far more than spacious enough for two. I'm sure that Luna would not object to sharing it with me for a few nights, no?"
"Not at all, sister," Luna confirmed. "But what of Shining Armor?"
"Oh, I'm fine. I've slept in the cots in the Royal Guard," he said, bringing their bags into the room. "I could sleep anywhere flat, really," he pointed at the shag rug, jokingly.
"Preposterous!" Luna scoffed. "Twilight offered her bed to us. You are a Prince now, and you deserve no less." Celestia looked to Twilight.
"Certainly your bed is likewise large enough to accommodate another, yes?"
"Sure Twilie!" Shining said. "Hey, it'll be like when you were a little filly and you had a bad dream."
"Splendid. It will be a-" Luna paused for a moment, "oh how would the pink one put it... a sibling sleepover slumber party!"
Twilight just stood there, awestruck. Never before had she screwed up so successfully. They had been understanding, nay happy even, that she was a bedroom short. And not only that, but they all but commanded Shining to sleep with her in her bed.
"Thank you for accommodating us Twilight," Celestia said. "But if you don't mind, it has been a long trip from the capital and we'd like some time to unwind before dinner."
"......'kay." Twilight slowly backed out of the room, into the hallway with her brother as Celestia closed the door, affixing a Do Not Disturb sign on the handle. Twilight turned and started to walk down the hallway, past her own room. "What the hell just happened?" she whispered to him.
"A damn miracle," he answered. Twilight glanced back at the guest bedroom door and grabbed Shining's hoof to pull him into her bedroom. "Whoa, what are you doing?" She pulled him to the bed. "Hey, come on! We can't!"
"I told you. It's legal now," Twilight said.
"But Celestia and Luna are right in the next room!"
"We'll be quiet."
"What about dinner?" Shining asked.
"I'll just make Spike do-" Twilight stopped in her tracks.
She had sent Spike away for the weekend.
"..."
"Fuck! I actually have to cook!?"
Twilight and Shining ran downstairs to the kitchen. They each tore through the pantry and refrigerator.
"They are going to be disappointed," Shining said.
"How do I have no food!?"
"Well when was the last time you went grocery shopping?"
"Well I usually have Spike... Damn it!"
"Well we've got a frozen pizza, half a loaf of bread, a box of Cheerilee'Os, and a fridge full of condiments," Shining said. "You know, in the Royal Guard, I used to make a mean ketchup and mayonnaise sandwich in the barracks microwave."
"It's Celestia and Luna. Celestia and Luna! And we've only got" Twilight began to panic as she looked at the clock, "forty five minutes!"
"We could order out!" Shining said. Twilight clapped her hooves.
"Brilliant!" Twilight felt a chance of hope. "How much cash do you have?"
"You don't have any bits?" he asked.
"I just bought a BED! Just now! A huge one!"
"I have a little. But not enough for this plan," he said. Twilight went over her options quickly in her mind. She was going to have to ask a huge favor. She needed a party and she needed it fast. There was just one mare for the job. "Wait here. I'll be back as soon as possible." And with that, Twilight vanished. Shining stood there alone in the kitchen, casually scooping hoof fulls of dry Cheerilee'Os into his mouth.
Twilight reappeared in Sugar Cube Corner.
"Pinkie! I have a party emergency!" Twilight cried out into the bakery. The pink earth pony stepped out from the kitchen. Her eyes narrowed and she wiped the flour from her cheek.
"I have prepared for all of my life to hear those words," she said with utter conviction. "Who what where when?" she asked in rapid fire, a notepad and pencil seemingly materializing in her hooves.
"Princess Celestia and Luna. Dinner. My castle. Right Fucking NOW!" Twilight said.
Pinkie Pie didn't even write the last word. "Fly you fool," she said and then she was already moving, Fillysecond incarnate, a blur of motion. For her, the rest of the world slowed down. [Listening to the link in another tab will only enhance your reading experience]
She had released the pencil from her hoof. It began to accelerate toward the floor.
Twilight squinted and her horn began to glow, charging up her spell. Pinkie Pie went down to the basement and began to go through her party supplies. As much as she would have liked it to be, this was not going to be a party of a six-year-old foal. She got together different items of refined taste, making sure to account for theme and colors. Celestia White and Luna Blue, with a splash of Twilight Purple.
She took the first load of party supplies and ran with them past Twilight as she continued to call the spell to her horn. She ran out of the door of the bakery and headed across town. Along the way, she ran past Rainbow Dash, suspended nearly motionless in the air as she passed. She was probably flying at top speed, Pinkie thought. She arrived at the castle and carefully arranged everything around the dining room. Yes it was a formal event, but she added her own personal flare. Balloons, ribbons, streamers. All color coordinated.
She ran back to Sugar Cube Corner to get more things, such as the table cloth, the dishes and silverware. She made another trip to the castle, passing by Twilight, still standing there, her horn glowing a little brighter. Pinkie arranged the place settings on the table, making sure to have the silverware in the correct order, just like Twilight would have wanted.
On the third trip she made a stop in the bakery's kitchen. She grabbed a loaf of fresh bread and some produce to cut up, carefully checking each one to ensure that it was free of blemishes. She cut up some apples in a particular way, arranging the slices to make tiny little swans. Edible art wasn't just for cakes after all.
She assembled the rest of the food and the slices of bread and made a couple of sandwich platters, cutting them into bite-size triangles with colorful tooth picks, and diced the rest of the vegetables and a giant salad in a decorative bowl. She ran out past Twilight again. Her spell was nearly complete and she was starting to disappear. She brought the food to the castle and arranged them in an aesthetically pleasing manner on the table.
It was then that she saw Shining Armor in the kitchen. A lone Cheerilee'O hung in the air, mid way from his hoof to his mouth. She snatched it out of the air and ate it herself. Emergency Party planning always did make her snacky. She ran back to the bakery and got another place setting for the fourth pony, and made some more sandwiches. She ran back out as Twilight just finished disappearing.
Back in the castle, she made a place at the table for Shining Armor, and rearranged the table for the new symmetry of a fourth seat. Twilight began to slowly reappear nearby. Pinkie Pie made another circuit of the room, double checking everything, and ensuring that everything was perfect. Once she was satisfied, she ran upstairs to the bathroom and wiped the sweat from her face, fixing up her mane in the mirror with a brush and headed back downstairs. She stood nearby to greet Twilight and present her the work invoice for her to sign. Pinkie realized that she had forgotten her pencil.
She ran back to Sugar Cube corner and grabbed the falling pencil just before it hit the floor.
She brought it back to Twilight's castle, doodling a detailed mustache on Rainbow Dash's face as she ran past. Just as Twilight finished materializing. The world lurched back into normal speed around her.
"Done!" Pinkie Pie thrusted the invoice to Twilight to sign. Twilight and Shining both froze in surprised shock. Everything around them had seemingly just appeared. "Sign here." Twilight took the pencil from her and signed the invoice. "Thank you for your business." Pinkie trotted casually out the door.
"..."
"It's a good thing that she's on our side."
With dinner set, Twilight trotted upstairs. From down the hall she could see that the Do Not Disturb sign was still hanging on the door. Twilight was reluctant to interrupt their nap, seeing how Princess Celestia had been working basically every day for over a millennium. Nopony was more deserving of some rest and relaxation.
But as she drew near, she could hear a rhythmic thumping noise emanating from inside, in symphony with the squeaking of the bed frame. Clearly one or both of them were awake. She rapped her hoof on the door. The noise inside ceased immediately.
"Aww, I was so close!" Luna's muffled voice said from within.
Twilight waited in silence for a moment. She could hear hooves approaching and the door handle turned from within. The door opened a barely a sliver. Just enough for Celestia to peer out. The sign on the handle glowed yellow for a moment as Celestia checked that it was indeed still there.
"Yes?" Celestia asked, with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Um, sorry for the intrusion. I came up to let you know that dinner was ready. I was just checking on the noise. What was Luna close to?"
"The noise!? Um, Luna was jumping on the bed," Celestia said. "She was close to touching the ceiling. Bad Luna! No more jumping on Twilight's guest bed!" Celestia yelled into the room.
"I shall have to be punished," Luna said.
"She and I will be coming soon," Celestia said, blushing at her own words, "By which I mean we'll be going down." She blushed harder. "That is to say, eating." She was beet red. "Dinner!"
"..."
"Go away!" Celestia barked and shut the door, audibly locking it. Twilight turned around and began to walk away. The bed started squeaking again.
"Luna must really love jumping on beds," Twilight thought.
Back downstairs, Twilight Sparkle looked over everything at the dinner table. Along with her brother, Shining Armor, they each waited patiently for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to join them from upstairs.
"They might be a few minutes," Twilight said.
"Should we start without them?" he asked, taking a cucumber from the platter.
"No! We will wait for them before we start eating," Twilight said.
"I wasn't talking about eating," Shining said, levitating the cucumber. "I was thinking of something a little more creative to do with this," he said with a wry grin moving it under her tail. Twilight gasped as she felt the cold contact on her filly bits.
"Shining!" He gave it a little more pressure, pushing it into her entrance, giving it a few small thrusts in and out before lodging it completely inside. "Ahhaa!" She moaned as he wiggled and turned it about inside of her. Twilight's knees buckled as she plopped into her seat.
"I knew you'd like it. Maybe we don't have time for the real thing, but I thought that I'd give you a little treat as a preview," he said. Twilight pawed at the table cloth.
The door upstairs flew open and the two sisters trotted downstairs. Shining froze, rising to his hooves, pinning himself against the table, keeping his erection concealed beneath the tablecloth. Twilight barely had time to react, struggling to stand, both weak in the knees and trying to stay the embarrassment of the hidden vegetable from falling free from her withers.
"Please, please, don't get up," Celestia said, making haste downstairs with Luna. Twilight and Shining eagerly sat back down. "It is we who should be honoring you. And our apologies for our tardiness. We came as fast as we could."
Behind her, Luna grinned. It was not often Twilight saw her smile. But she was practically glowing. More so, neither had their ornamental shoes or helm of office. They were completely bare. It only stood to reason, Twilight figured. They were on vacation after all. Celestia looked at the room and the table.
"Everything looks wonderful! How ever did you manage all of this so quickly?" Luna asked.
"Oh, it's a-aah" Twilight felt the cucumber inside her shift a little "A Ponyville Kingdom secret," she said with a smile.
"Very well," Luna conceded, taking a seat beside her elder sister, putting her hoof on hers. "I suppose every kingdom must have its secrets." Celestia took some salad and a small sandwich from the platter onto her plate, waiting for the others to do so as well before she began to eat. She took small bites and chewed quietly with her mouth closed. Ever the image of regal poise.
"On the subject of your kingdom, Princess Twilight," Celestia began, "Luna and I have been curious as to what you have been accomplishing so far. And what sort of plans you might have for the future of Ponyville."
"Oh, nothing much," Twilight said, trying to keep the tense nervousness from her voice. "Just a little of this and a little of thaahahat!" Twilight shivered as Shining gave the cucumber a little jostle inside her. "Pardon me," Twilight apologized. "I had a little tickle in my throat." She cut a glare at Shining Armor that said 'Stop it!'. His horn glowed as he gave her a coy smile back that said, 'Make me!', giving the produce another little twist.
Fine. Two can play at this game.
Twilight's horn glowed, levitating her fork. But she was a master at multitasking. A tendril of magic wrapped around his shaft beneath the table. She gave it a few slow strokes before letting it spring free of her magical grip, smacking it against the underside of the table with a thud. Celestia and Luna each looked at him. He hit the surface of the table with his hoof.
"Wow, this sa-ha-alad sure is something!" he said, cracking his voice and forcing a smile. He hit the table again with his hoof for effect. "Mmm, mm! Yum."
"It's. Salad." Luna deadpanned.
"Yes it is." Shining said, pointing at her. "You are- correct about that!"
"Hm." Celestia gave a neutral sigh. "Well then, Twilight you seem to have settled into your role fairly comfortably." Shining counterattacked Twilight, giving the cucumber inside her a few more thrusts. Twilight shifted in her seat very uncomfortably.
"Oh- yeah," Twilight breathed. "Well, I don't want to cause too many waves. I wasn't looking to take over and change everything. I let Mayor Mare work as she always has. I just sign things now instead of you, with the same sort of hooves-off approach you always counselled me with. It seems to have served Ponyville just fine so far."
"That is very wise of you," Celestia commended her.
"Really?" Twilight said. Shining used his magic to give Twilight's clit a little tease. "That feels soo good!" she gasped. "Uh, to hear you say that, I mean!" Luna's horn glowed blue, levitating her utensils. Celestia shifted in her seat a little.
"Of course there's nothing wrong with a little... hooves on work, when the situation calls for it," Luna said with a smirk.
"Mmm, that's good Luna," Celestia said. "Good advice," she amended. "Certainly there are things that you want to take care of personally, no?" Celestia's horn glowed, levitating her own fork. Luna's magical grasp on her own wavered, causing it to clatter on the table.
"Oooh oh. Uh, clumsy me," Luna said. Both of them were beginning to perspire. Twilight decided that she would have to see to the temperature regulating enchantment on the castle for adjustment.
"I'm sure I will come up with a few measures of my own," Twilight said, running a tendril of her magic along the length of Shining's dick. Shining struggled to keep his concentration on his fork, opting to hold it with his hoof.
"Have you not already?" Luna asked. Twilight hesitated briefly. Celestia cut in.
"Forgive us for prying into the affairs of your kingdom, Twilight," she said. "I assure you that we trust you completely. It's just an academic curiosity."
"I understand," Twilight said.
"It's just that, we've asked Mayor Mare to forward her legislation since you took office for us to review," Celestia said.
"Oh?" Twilight said, feigning ignorance.
"Again, it's not that we don't trust you," Luna said. "We just want to-"
"...make sure that I don't do anything too extreme?" Twilight said, repeating Mayor Mare's words.
"Twilight," Celestia chided.
"No, it's okay," Twilight said. "After the Want-It Need-It incident, I realized that I could be a little- impulsive." She gave Shining's dick another few strokes.
"Nggh!" Shining grunted and grabbed the edge of the table, gaining confused looks. "Ah, um, great salad. Great, great salad!" Celestia continued.
"Twilight, what Luna meant to say was-" Luna's horn glowed a little brighter. Celestia's eyes fluttered a tiny, almost imperceptible bit. "...was that we had an academic interest in seeing what the fresh eyes of new, young leadership could offer modern Equestria."
"And to check for clerical errors," Luna added.
"Oh." Twilight's only response.
"...Yes, well," Celestia hesitated, "on the subject, there was a particular bill that it seems you penned yourself-"
"The only one you penned," Luna added.
"Aaand we think you may have made an error that went unnoticed," Celestia said.
"Oh?" Twilight's only response. Now it was her turn to sweat.
"Well... it seems that the line item in the foot note called for the repeal of regulation 1nc35t. We inquired with Mayor Mare and she said that it was a restriction on masons working over moving water."
"But I did a little research," Luna said. "That regulation was 1nc34t. So 1nc35t is a typo."
"Oh. Silly me," Twilight said flatly, wearing a poker-face for the ages.
"Twilight," Celestia said, "I know you are not a pony prone to making mistakes like this. You always double check your work."
"Oh, ah well, uh, the thing is- I uh, I wrote that very late at night," Twilight said. "So late in fact, it was early! He he!" Twilight laughed nervously. "And uh, I guess I missed that! I'll have to go in on Tuesday and repeal 1nc34t properly." Celestia's horn glowed as Luna began to speak.
"Twilight, you are not exactly filling us-" Luna coughed and cleared her throat. "Ahem, not exactly filling us with confidence. Your bill repealed another law entirely!"
"Oh?" Twilight's only response.
"Yes. You actually-" Celestia paused, "Well it's rather funny, actually. You repealed the prohibition on consanguineous carnal relations," Celestia said, with a small smile as her horn faded along with Luna's. Even Shining stopped messing around at this point.
"Well, that's a mouthful," Twilight said, in a poor attempt a levity.
"Do you understand what you've done?" Luna asked.
"I repealed the wrong law, yes," Twilight answered.
"I think what she means is do you understand what the consequences of your actions are," Celestia said.
"Uhhh..."
"You've legalized incest in Ponyville, Princess Sparkle," Luna said, her horn glowing again, lifting her fork.
"Oh." Twilight's only response.
"You should be more careful when writing legislature, Twilight," Celestia said. "If you repeal the wrong laws, anything could- mmff-" Celestia shifted in her seat again, "...anything could happen. It's a long, holiday weekend, until Tuesday. Who knows what could happen until then?"
"What do you intend to do?" Luna asked. "Will you redact the measure that you've written?"
"Well... the masons have already repaired the bridge, and have been paid. I can't undo that," Twilight said.
"Do you intend to write a new law to make incest illegal again, then?" Celestia asked, taking a bite of her sandwich. Twilight opened her mouth, in reflex, to give the answer she thought Celestia wanted to hear, and say 'yes' in appeasement. She glanced beside her, at her brother, Shining Armor. Everything she had done, she had done for him, for both of them. There was something inside Twilight. And it wasn't the cucumber. Something deep inside that she felt very strongly. Again, not the cucumber. It was a strength of her will, a belief that she had very strongly.
Something she was willing to fight for. To die for. And even, dare she say, disagree with Celestia for.
"No." Twilight's only response.
"No?" Celestia and Luna replied in stereo.
"No," Twilight repeated. "It seems like a silly law."
"Silly?" Luna replied, "It was written almost three hundred years ago. Have you no respect for your founding ponies?"
"I do," Twilight retorted curtly. "But Equestria is a very different place than it was centuries ago. This, you understand?" she asked Luna. Luna sat back in her seat.
"It is," she replied reluctantly.
"Perhaps such an archaic law is not as applicable as it was in the days of yore," Twilight said. "Perhaps ponies today are capable of being more responsible with their personal liberties, without us trying to legislate morality over them."
"Perhaps you are wrong," Luna suggested.
"Perhaps I am!" Twilight said. "But I am willing to give my citizens the benefit of the doubt!" she spat with a confidence that she did not know she even had. "Incest!? Ha! What right is it of mine to prosecute a pony for whom they choose to love? No, I do not think so. Not here. Not now. Not in my kingdom!" She stood up, her every muscle fiber tense with conviction. "NOT IN MY! KINGDOM!" Twilight shouted, angrily slamming her hoof on the solid crystal table, threatening to crack, making the plates and silverware rattle loudly, echoing in the sterile walls.
The ensuing silence was utterly palpable.
Shining Armor somehow turned a whiter shade of pale, his were eyes as wide as the dinner plates.
Twilight's heart was racing. She had just thrown down the gauntlet at her mentor and drew the line in the sand in the face of not one, but both of the royal sisters. But she didn't flinch. She narrowed her eyes and kept her jaw firm. Her heart was panicking, but her face said "fight me!"
Luna sat poised, ready for any outcome as she looked to Celestia, waiting for her cue, one way, or the other.
Celestia sat there in her seat and locked eyes with Twilight, towering over her on her hooves. Celestia was seeking deference. Twilight didn't yield, not even a little. Not by a long shot. Celestia could see the fire in her eyes. It told her everything she needed to know about the pony. It told her that if she fought Twilight on this, only one of them would be leaving this room alive. On any other day, Celestia would have been fairly confident about her odds. But she was not a mare who played with dice.
Celestia blinked and looked away, instead, at the sandwich platter. She picked up one of the small, triangular sandwiches a levitated it to her face, taking a moment to inspect it. The fresh bread was soft and sumptuous. The sandwich had fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, sliced cucumbers and daisies with egg-free mayonnaise and a delightful honey Dijon dressing. Outside, the sun was shining low on the horizon, a deep red hue, poised to set. Birds were singing in the trees. Foals were laughing on the playground. She took a deep inhale, savoring the aroma of the sandwich, as though it were her last meal. She looked to the red light of the setting sun in the window. 'Today is a good day', Celestia decided.
Today is a good day to die.
"..."
"Good for you," Celestia said at last. She brought the sandwich to her mouth for a bite, chewing it with her mouth closed. Chewing quietly, politely, with all of the poise of a princess. She waited until she finished the sandwich, and did not speak with food in her mouth. "Good for you." She took the napkin from her place setting and unfolded it carefully, deliberately, as though it were the flag of Equestria. "You stand up for your principles." She wiped her mouth with her napkin. "A good leader- a good ruler needs that." Celestia sat back in her seat, deliberately expressing her relaxation. "Mmm. This dinner is simply wonderful... We will support your decision. Won't we, sister?"
"Yes. Of course," Luna said, relaxing herself.
Twilight visibly relaxed and sat back down in her seat. Shining finally exhaled. The clock on the wall chimed the hour.
"Forgive us," Celestia said. "Duty calls. If we may be excused?" Twilight waved them off with her hoof from her chair. Celestia stood and gave a polite curtsy. Luna joined her.
"Your Highness," Luna said with a curtsy herself before excusing herself, exiting the castle with Celestia to set the sun and raise the moon. The heavy doors of the castle closed behind them.
"Shining?"
"Yeah?"
"Did we almost just die just now?"
"Yeah."
"Don't ever let me do that again."
"... 'Kay."
"..."
"I love you."
"I know."
Twilight kissed her brother. He kissed her back. She kissed him harder. And then she smacked him in the face with a pickle.
"Where'd you get a pickle?" he asked
"It's the cucumber, you ass! Don't ever do that again!" She tossed it on the table and kissed him again.
"No promises," he said with a smile, kissing her again.
"Let me finish what I started," Twilight said, dropping to her knees in front of him, wrapping her hooves around his stallionhood, jacking him off with gusto. There really was nothing like nearly dying to put your life priorities into perspective.
"Oh, oh, Oh TWI!" All of her teasing and foreplay through the dinner, coupled with the excitement of being caught, had him on the edge. He regretted that his first time cumming at the hooves of his sister was so expedited. She saw his cock flare and quickly took a small serving bowl with her magic to catch his mess. As much as she would have liked to taste it herself, the last thing she needed was suspicious breath bidding the Royal Sister's good night. As soon as he recovered, she stood and put the bowl aside to kiss him.
The light coming in through the window faded into darkness with the coming night. As the moon's light shone into the window, they broke the kiss in time for the Royal Sisters' return. Twilight was about to quickly start clearing the table with her brother. At the very least to destroy the evidence of their deed.
"Ooh! A pickle!" Celestia said, levitating it to herself before Twilight could stop her. "I didn't see this before, but I've been having the strangest craving for one."
"Uh-" Twilight tried to protest but it was too late. Celestia dipped it in the bowl of Shining's... 'salad dressing' and took a generous bite.
"Mmhh! Luna, you simply must try this!" Celestia said. She dipped the pickle in the dressing again, but bit the other end, holding it in her mouth for her sister to bite.
"But sister, what if our lips were to meet in the process? It would be like we are kissing!" Luna said. Celestia took the pickle from her mouth.
"So?" Celestia said. "It's not illegal for me to kiss my sister. Not here. Not now." She purposefully looked at Twilight in the eyes. "Not in Twilight's Kingdom." She put the pickle back in her mouth. The cucumber that had been soaking in Twilight's vagina, dipped in Shining's semen. Luna bit, chewed, and swallowed the other end until her lips met her sister's. The two princesses kissed, longer and deeper than could ever possibly be necessary to share a pickle before they separated.
"Now then," Luna breathed, "Today has been quite eventful. You will have to forgive us if we were to retire to our room early." Luna nodded quickly and headed upstairs to the bedroom.
"..."
Celestia lingered behind, circling the table slowly, with a predatory stare toward the two of them the entire time. She sidled up along side the young siblings, leaning in closely to her protege with an almost disappointed expression.
"Come now, Twilight, do you take me for such a fool?" Celestia said with a knowing look. "Did you really expect us to believe it was a coincidence that your brother was here, so shortly after you passed that bill?"
Twilight said nothing. Celestia didn't need her to.
"I've known you nearly your entire life, Twilight." Celestia said. "I could always tell when you were lying because you were never any good at it. You would never make a clerical mistake like that. Not ever. Especially not on something as important as your first law in your kingdom." She glanced over at Shining Armor. He stood there, motionless, yet nervous. He was afraid.
"You're a married stallion, Prince, Cpt. Shining Armor," Celestia said to him. "You have been honest with Cadance about your... other relationship. But know that she has likewise been honest with me." She looked at Twilight and back at him again. "For what Twilight has done here, manipulating the law as she has, it could be grounds for her to be stripped of her kingdom, title, wings and freedom. Thrown into a dungeon until she forgets what sunlight looks like."
The fear in him vanished. Shining's nostrils flared and his teeth grit tight. Every muscle in his body tensed. His eyes burned, screaming, 'You can bloody well try over my dead body!'
"Ah. There is it," Celestia said in her soft, maternal tone. She could see that he truly was ready to die for this mare. "You have the love of two princesses that you will need to protect and look after, Captain. I certainly hope that you are up to the task." She dipped her hoof into the bowl of his cum, bringing it to her mouth, licking it clean as she gave him a devious stare. "Mmmh. Two lucky princesses."
Twilight and Shining stood and stared, aghast. "What? Do you believe that our visit to your kingdom after you passed such a bill was any more of a coincidence than his!?" She grinned. "Every Kingdom has its secrets. Enjoy yours, Princess Twilight."
Princess Celestia took a quick curtsy. "Your Highness," Celestia said to Twilight as she excusing herself. She started to walk up the stairs, turning to Shining Armor. "I hope you enjoy your stay, Prince Armor..." she smiled. "... Luna and I certainly shall."
Princess Celestia was sitting in her palace office. She had just concluded her royal court session for the day and was going to be setting the sun shortly. Her magic in-box, linked with the one that she had given Mayor Mare, glowed for a moment. A paper dropped out of the bottom of it.
"Oh, It looks like Twilight has enacted her first bill as Princess," Celestia mused to herself. "Hmm, let's see... a call for the use of public funds... to the sum of..." she read through the boring legalese. "The repeal of law 1nc35t...?" Celestia scratched her head for a moment, confused as to what kind of law would need to be repealed for a simple bridge public works measure.
She trotted down into the bowels of Canterlot Castle, to the records archives. It was different from the magic archives, in the castle's east wing. Down here was where backups of the records were kept in Ponyville Town Hall. Celestia thought it was wise to have, in light of the staggering regularity of disasters befalling Equestria in recent years.
"1,N..." she looked through the old shelves. Ponyville wasn't nearly as old as Canterlot, but hundreds of years of legislature was still a lot of paperwork. Luckily she'd had Twilight down here in the past to organize it. The unicorn had practically begged for the opportunity. It had been ordered chronologically, and alphabetically by law serial number. For serial numbers that didn't started with a letter, she had to go pretty far back. "Ah, here we are... 1... N...C..." she worked her way through the stack, "35t..." Celestia paused for a second. The page she sought was easy to find now. The binding of the book had been broken to this page, and the corner had been dog-eared, just slightly.
Somepony had looked up this law before. And relatively recently.
"Law number 1nc35t," she read, "The Prohibition of Carnal Consanguineous Relations." Celestia looked at the page, and back at the copy of legislature that she'd just received. All that she was required to do now was update her copy to indicate that the law had been repealed, (or, as it was called in the olde days, withdrawn) by marking it with a 'W' prefix. The law that Princess Twilight had 'claimed' to have repealed was just beside it, one letter difference. One could accuse the new princess of having made a clerical error. But Celestia had two very convincing reasons to believe otherwise.
Firstly, she knew Twilight. She had known Twilight almost all her life. And while Celestia was wise enough to know that everypony makes mistakes; a pony that triple-checked her checklist, to make sure she didn't miss anything, when she double-checked her checklist, did not make mistakes of the clerical variety. Especially not on something as important as her first piece of legislature as a new princess.
Secondly, the law in her book seemed to have already been marked with a 'W'. But it was the modern, curved version, unlike the old double V style. And it was in very familiar hoofwriting.
"Alright, Twilight," Celestia said into the empty room, setting the book back on the shelf. "Alright... Let us see where this leads."
~~~~~
On the castle balcony, Princess Celestia stood beside her sister, Luna and lowered the sun. As she did, Luna brought out the moon, and painted the sky awash in twinkling stars.
"Beautiful, as always, sister," Celestia said.
"Thank you, Tia," Luna replied. "Even though I know more ponies appreciate it now, it still means the most to hear it from you." She nuzzled her neck and they stepped back inside the castle. They each sat at the table in the shared space of their royal residence suite. Luna took a sip of her coffee, relishing its effect. "Not electricity, medicine, or railroads. This is the greatest invention in the last millennium!" she said with a smile. "So, what news have we?" Luna asked, expecting the usual turn-over report for shift change.
"I actually have something very important to discuss with you concerning Twilight," Celestia said.
"Oh? Has she formed institutions for easily-distracted ponies, to teach them pay more attention?" Luna asked.
"What?"
"You know, concentration camps," Luna said
"Uh, no." Celestia answered. "I just received this today from Mayor Mare." She gave Luna the new law. "And this is the law it repeals." Celestia showed her the copy of the old law prohibiting incest in Ponyville. Luna looked back and forth between the two documents.
"Do you think she made an error?" Luna asked.
"I highly doubt it," Celestia said. She went on to explain the evidence she had discovered in the archives.
"So what do you suggest we do?" Luna asked.
"We will need to confront her about this. But we have to go about it very carefully. We can't know for certain that this isn't a mistake. We have to eliminate any shadow of a doubt first," Celestia said.
"Yes... I suppose," Luna said with resignation.
"But?" Celestia asked, sensing her hesitance.
"But I was wondering if we could... take advantage of the situation first?" she asked, putting her hoof on Tia's. Celestia smiled.
"I've already scheduled time for us this next weekend for a trip to Ponyville."
That Weekend
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna flew side-by-side, away from Canterlot, gliding gently downwards away from the mountain toward the town of Ponyville. Luna could not remember the last time she had gone flying with her sister like this. But teleporting such a long distance was strenuous, even for the two magical veterans. And they didn't want to create a fanfare with their arrival by train.
"She should be expecting us," Celestia said as they neared Twilight's castle. "I sent a letter to Spike to notify her." The sisters landed gracefully in front of the castle's main entrance on Prince Street. It was supposed to be Princess Street, but they didn't have enough room on the sign. So it just read Prince st instead.
Celestia knocked with her hoof and the door was opened.
"Prince Shining," Celestia greeted with a measure of surprise.
"Your Majesty!?" Shining greeted with much more surprise, and a bow. He opened the other door, revealing Luna. "Your Majesties." He bowed again.
"Prithee, where art Princess Twilight?" Luna asked.
"Uh, uh, she uh, had to run an errand to Town Hall! She'll be right back though," he said, taking their bags from them. The royal sisters stepped inside the castle and closed the door behind them.
"It is curious to see you here today," Luna said. "Are you also enjoying the holiday weekend?"
"Oh, yeah," Shining said, "Well, you know, what with how hard it is to get away, and being so far away in the Crystal Empire, hehe."
"How fares the Empire?" Celestia asked.
"It's... good," he said.
"And Cadenza?" Luna asked. "What progress have you and she made to sire a foal? Might we suggest favorable positions?" Shining gulped.
"Now Luna," Celestia chided with a wink, "You know how busy it can be for a Princess. I'm sure they are trying just as often as they can."
-
But for the magical properties of the hinges mounting them, did the doors remained attached to their frame as Twilight Sparkle kicked them in. She needed to warn her brother and contact the princesses before they-
"Greetings, Princess Sparkle," Luna said, standing in Twilight's Castle foyer.
"Hello Twilight," Celestia said, standing beside her younger sister. "We just arrived a few minutes ago. Your brother was kind enough to bid us entrance." Twilight could see Shining Armor standing behind them with their bags and the same 'oh shit' look on his face that Twilight herself was trying desperately to conceal.
"We realize we are early for our weekend vacation at your castle," Luna said, "But Tia was confident that it would not be of any concern."
"You received my letter about our impending arrival, yes?" Celestia asked.
She had sent Spike away with Rarity for the weekend to look for gems.
"Weekend Vacation!? Uh, I- of... course!" Twilight lied. "But... but I haven't had a chance to get Shining caught up on the itinerary. Would you mind filling him in on the details while I make the final preparations for your guest rooms?"
"That's fine," Celestia said, turning to Shining as Twilight bolted upstairs to her bedroom.
"Yeah, uh, Twily never got a chance to tell me about you two being here. I guess she was just so excited to see me," he said.
"I'm sure she was," Celestia murmured under her breath.
"But are you both really going to be here for the whole weekend?" he asked.
"Are we not allowed to take vacations?" Celestia asked.
"No. I mean yes! I mean, of course you're allowed!"
"Tia! We are tired from travel and anxious to see our accommodations!" Luna complained.
"Alright. Let's go see," Celestia said, leading them upstairs where Twilight had gone.
"But what about Canterlot?" Shining asked.
"Canterlot will be fine without us for a few days," Luna answered.
"And we can move the Sun and Moon from anywhere," Celestia added, reaching the door of the one guest room.
"Princess!" Twilight greeted, trying not to seem out-of-breath.
"Princess," Celestia parroted. Luna looked into the next room from the hallway, finding it empty.
"Just the one room?" Luna asked.
"Well you see- um, it's just that, the thing is-" Twilight stammered, "I uh, had already invited Shining over for the weekend, uh, as you can see." She motioned to her brother with her hoof.
"Yes. We can see that plainly," Luna said.
"Yes. Plainly," Twilight replied with an awkward smile. "But it's just that, I had already invited him, before I got your letter, and I didn't want to cancel his visit, since you know, it's so rare that he's able to get away from the Empire. And um, when I got your letter, I uh, didn't want to say no to that either, since it's so difficult for you two to get away too, I would imagine," she said, stalling.
"And the one guest room?" Luna asked again, growing impatient.
"Yes, the one room, well um, you know me! I'm not one for extravagances. I didn't want to spend a lot of public money on personal effects, so um," She smiled nervously, "One of you are welcome to my bed. Mi casa su casa!" The princesses stood there in silence for a moment.
"Oh Twilight," Celestia shook her head in disappointment, "that will not do at all." Twilight was mortified. She had failed. "We are your guests, but you are our honored host," she said.
"We applaud your frugality. But we could not possibly force you from your own bed," Luna said. "You are a princess after all. You are as much our peer as Princess Cadenza." Celestia walked into the room.
"This bed is wonderful," Celestia said, pressing her hoof into the plush covers. "And it is far more than spacious enough for two. I'm sure that Luna would not object to sharing it with me for a few nights, no?"
"Not at all, sister," Luna confirmed. "But what of Shining Armor?"
"Oh, I'm fine. I've slept in the cots in the Royal Guard," he said, bringing their bags into the room. "I could sleep anywhere flat, really," he pointed at the shag rug, jokingly.
"Preposterous!" Luna scoffed. "Twilight offered her bed to us. You are a Prince now, and you deserve no less." Celestia looked to Twilight.
"Certainly your bed is likewise large enough to accommodate another, yes?"
"Sure Twilie!" Shining said. "Hey, it'll be like when you were a little filly and you had a bad dream."
"Splendid. It will be a-" Luna paused for a moment, "oh how would the pink one put it... a sibling sleepover slumber party!"
Twilight just stood there, awestruck. Never before had she screwed up so successfully. They had been understanding, nay happy even, that she was a bedroom short. And not only that, but they all but commanded Shining to sleep with her in her bed.
"Thank you for accommodating us Twilight," Celestia said. "But if you don't mind, it has been a long trip from the capital and we'd like some time to unwind before dinner."
"......'kay." Twilight slowly backed out of the room, into the hallway with her brother as Celestia closed the door, affixing a Do Not Disturb sign on the handle. As soon as Celestia closed and locked the door, Luna sprawled out onto the massive bed.
"OHhh, we have put this off for far too long," Luna moaned. Celestia climbed onto the bed, taking her in her hooves and kissing her passionately. Luna pressed her lips into hers, parting them slightly as her tongue wrested with her sister's, breaking with a wet 'smack'. "These are not the lips you're looking for," she said with a smile. Luna took Celestia's horn in her hoof, and gave it a few light strokes before pushing her head down along her blue fur. Celestia turned her body around on top of her and shimmied downward to spread Luna's long, luscious legs.
Usually out of dress, and living in such close proximity, they were no stranger to the sight of each other's privates. But for Celestia, seeing Luna there, on her back with her legs in twain just for her, was a truly wonderful sight. Her marehood glistened in anticipation with a blue coloration mottled with blotches of black, like the rest of her supple butt. She hadn't much time to enjoy the sight however. Under her, Luna reached up with her hooves and pulled her sister's flank down to her face. Celestia squatted lower, letting her reach her nethers with her tongue. Celestia needed no further invitation, burying her face into her sister's wanton pussy.
"Mmnngh!" Luna moaned out and her sister began to run her tongue up and down her slit, flicking her little love button at the top and giving it little kisses. "Tia," Luna moaned, "we haven't much time!" Her blue magic levitated an item from her luggage bag. She quickly set to work strapping it to her elder sister's hips above her. "Take me now! Quickly!" Celestia had hoped that they would have taken a more leisurely pace and enjoyed themselves for the first time in a very long time. But her little sister was insistent in her need.
Celestia's mouth abandoned Luna's pussy and she climbed off of the bed. The large strap-on dildo bobbed beneath her as she turned back to Luna at the edge of the mattress. She brought the tip of it to her sister's blue pussy, getting it thoroughly wet before pushing it into her in a smooth motion.
"Oooh, Tia," Luna moaned as she felt her sister filling her foal hole. With a flick of magic, the dildo whirred to life, vibrating inside her. At the same time, it vibrated against Celestia's clit as she began to thrust into her little sister. "I love you, Tia."
"I love you too," Celestia replied, leaning down to kiss her tenderly.
"Harder," Luna whispered. Celestia braced herself on the bed and leveraged her weight to really start humping into her. "Hmf, mmf, yes!" she moaned, feeling herself getting closer to her climax.
With dinner set, Twilight trotted upstairs. From down the hall she could see that the Do Not Disturb sign was still hanging on the door. Twilight was reluctant to interrupt their nap, seeing how Princess Celestia had been working basically every day for over a millennium. Nopony was more deserving of some rest and relaxation.
But as she drew near, she could hear a rhythmic thumping noise emanating from inside, in symphony with the squeaking of the bed frame. Clearly one or both of them were awake. She rapped her hoof on the door. The noise inside ceased immediately.
"Aww, I was so close!" Luna's muffled voice said from within.
Twilight waited in silence for a moment. She could hear hooves approaching and the door handle turned from within. The door opened a barely a sliver. Just enough for Celestia to peer out. The sign on the handle glowed yellow for a moment as Celestia checked that it was indeed still there.
"Yes?" Celestia asked, with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Um, sorry for the intrusion. I came up to let you know that dinner was ready. I was just checking on the noise. What was Luna close to?"
"The noise!? Um, Luna was... jumping on the bed!" Celestia said. "She was close to touching the ceiling. Bad Luna! No more jumping on Twilight's guest bed!" Celestia yelled into the room.
"I shall have to be punished," Luna said.
"She and I will be coming soon," Celestia said, blushing at her own words, "By which I mean we'll be going down." She blushed harder. "That is to say, eating." She was beet red. "Dinner!"
"..."
"Go away!" Celestia barked and shut the door, audibly locking it. Twilight turned around and began to walk away. The bed started squeaking again.
Luna must really love jumping on beds, Twilight thought.
Celestia had turned up the vibration speed on her strap-on, all but pouncing on top of Luna. Her magic guided the faux stallionhood into her sister's pussy as she resumed their rut. Luna wrapped her legs around her, holding her closer. Depending on how dinner went, this might be the only chance they would have.
"Oh, Tia," Luna moaned into her sister's ear. "You make me feel so wonderful!"
"I love you, Luna."
"I love you too! I love you so Mmmnnnn!" Luna stiffed her cry as her body shook beneath Celestia.
Celestia's orgasm was close behind as she pressed her hips all the way forward, against Luna's, sharing the feeling of the vibration between them. Celestia felt herself tense and then release, feeling the electric tingling of her own climax as she ground against her. Celestia turned off the vibrations before it became over-stimulating. She held her little sister for a moment longer before pulling away.
"Stay with me," Luna whispered.
"Dinner is ready," Celestia said firmly, with a hint of regret. She lifted herself off, pulling the strap-on out of Luna. It pulled free and made a wet slap against Celestia's belly, smearing her with her sister's marecum. "You need to get cleaned, too," She said, motioning to Luna's sopping marehood.
"Will you not give me a tongue-bath?" Luna asked playfully.
"Later! We are already late." They each cleaned themselves and each other with haste, and headed out of the room.
The door upstairs flew open and the two sisters trotted downstairs. Shining froze, rising to his hooves, pinning himself against the table. Twilight barely had time to react, struggling to stand.
"Please, please, don't get up," Celestia said, making haste downstairs with Luna. Twilight and Shining eagerly sat back down. "It is we who should be honoring you. And our apologies for our tardiness. We came as fast as we could." Behind her, Luna grinned. It was not often Twilight saw her smile. But she was practically glowing. More so, neither had their ornamental shoes or helm of office. They were completely bare. It only stood to reason, Twilight figured. They were on vacation after all. Celestia looked at the room and the table.
"Everything looks wonderful! How ever did you manage all of this so quickly?" Luna asked.
"Oh, it's a-aah- a Ponyville Kingdom secret," Twilight said with a smile.
"Very well," Luna conceded, taking a seat beside her elder sister, putting her hoof on hers. "I suppose every kingdom must have its secrets." Celestia took some salad and a small sandwich from the platter onto her plate, waiting for the others to do so as well before she began to eat. She took small bites and chewed quietly with her mouth closed. Ever the image of regal poise.
"On the subject of your kingdom, Princess Twilight," Celestia began, "Luna and I have been curious as to what you have been accomplishing so far. And what sort of plans you might have for the future of Ponyville."
"Oh, nothing much," Twilight said, trying to keep the tense nervousness from her voice. "Just a little of this and a little of thaahahat!" Twilight shivered. "Pardon me," Twilight apologized. "I had a little tickle in my throat." She cut a glare at Shining Armor that said 'Stop it!'. His horn glowed as he gave her a coy smile back that said, 'Make me!'.
Twilight's horn glowed, levitating her fork. But she was a master at multitasking. A thud came from Shining's side of the table. Celestia and Luna each looked at him. He hit the surface of the table with his hoof.
"Wow, this sa-ha-alad sure is something!" he said, cracking his voice and forcing a smile. He hit the table again with his hoof for effect. "Mmm, mm! Yum."
"It's. Salad." Luna deadpanned.
"Yes it is." Shining said, pointing at her. "You are- correct about that!"
"Hm." Celestia gave a neutral sigh. "Well then, Twilight you seem to have settled into your role fairly comfortably." Twilight shifted in her seat very uncomfortably.
"Oh- yeah," Twilight breathed. "Well, I don't want to cause too many waves. I wasn't looking to take over and change everything. I let Mayor Mare work as she always has. I just sign things now instead of you, with the same sort of hooves-off approach you always counselled me with. It seems to have served Ponyville just fine so far."
"That is very wise of you," Celestia commended her.
"Really?" Twilight said. "That feels soo good!" she gasped. "Uh, to hear you say that, I mean!" It was plainly obvious To Celestia and Luna that Twilight and Shining were fooling around. They were doing a terrible job at being subtle. But, feeling playful herself, Luna's horn glowed blue, levitating her utensils. But also, she worked a tendril of magic gently up Celestia's leg. Slowly, not wanting to surprise her, she reached her marehood, teasing and playing with her. Celestia shifted in her seat a little.
"Of course there's nothing wrong with a little... hooves on work, when the situation calls for it," Luna said with a smirk, working her magic deeper into Celestia's pussy.
"Mmm, that's good Luna," Celestia said, trying to keep her tone even. "Good advice," she amended. "Certainly there are things that you want to take care of personally, no?" Celestia's horn glowed, levitating her own fork. Two could play at this game after all. She prodded Luna's pussy with her own magic before plunging a tendril into her taut, blue anus. Luna's magical grasp on her own wavered, causing it to clatter on the table.
"Oooh oh. Uh, clumsy me," Luna said. Both of them were beginning to perspire. Twilight decided that she would have to see to the temperature regulating enchantment on the castle for adjustment.
"I'm sure I will come up with a few measures of my own," Twilight said. Shining struggled to keep his concentration on his fork, opting to hold it with his hoof.
"Have you not already?" Luna asked. Twilight hesitated briefly. Celestia cut in.
"Forgive us for prying into the affairs of your kingdom, Twilight," she said. "I assure you that we trust you completely. It's just an academic curiosity."
"I understand," Twilight said.
"It's just that, we've asked Mayor Mare to forward her legislation since you took office for us to review," Celestia said.
"Oh?" Twilight said, feigning ignorance.
"Again, it's not that we don't trust you," Luna said. "We just want to-"
"...make sure that I don't do anything too extreme?" Twilight said, repeating Mayor Mare's words.
"Twilight," Celestia chided.
"No, it's okay," Twilight said. "After the Want-It Need-It incident, I realized that I could be a little- impulsive."
"Nggh!" Shining grunted and grabbed the edge of the table, gaining confused looks. "Ah, um, great salad. Great, great salad!" Celestia continued.
"Twilight, what Luna meant to say was-" Luna's horn glowed a little brighter, intent on making her sister's poise falter. Her magic tendril spun and vibrated. She could feel her sister's pussy pulse and clamp around it as she came. Celestia's eyes fluttered a tiny, almost imperceptible bit, but she continued speaking. "...was that we had an academic interest in seeing what the fresh eyes of new, young leadership could offer modern Equestria."
"And to check for clerical errors," Luna added.
"Oh." Twilight's only response.
"...Yes, well," Celestia hesitated, "on the subject, there was a particular bill that it seems you penned yourself-"
"The only one you penned," Luna added.
"Aaand we think you may have made an error that went unnoticed," Celestia said.
"Oh?" Twilight's only response. Now it was her turn to sweat.
"Well... it seems that the line item in the foot note called for the repeal of regulation 1nc35t. We inquired with Mayor Mare and she said that it was a restriction on masons working over moving water."
"But I did a little research," Luna said. "That regulation was 1nc34t. So 1nc35t is a typo."
"Oh. Silly me," Twilight said flatly, wearing a poker-face for the ages.
"Twilight," Celestia said, "I know you are not a pony prone to making mistakes like this. You always double check your work."
"Oh, ah well, uh, the thing is- I uh, I wrote that very late at night," Twilight said. "So late in fact, it was early! He he!" Twilight laughed nervously.
"And uh, I guess I missed that! I'll have to go in on Tuesday and repeal 1nc34t properly," Twilight said. Celestia's horn glowed as Luna began to speak.
"Twilight, you are not exactly filling us-" Luna felt Celestia's magic expand inside her pussy, stretching her. She coughed and cleared her throat. "Ahem, not exactly filling us with confidence. Your bill repealed another law entirely!"
"Oh?" Twilight's only response.
"Yes. You actually-" Celestia paused, "Well it's rather funny, actually. You repealed the prohibition on consanguineous carnal relations," Celestia said, with a small smile. She put her fork down as her horn faded along with Luna's. Even Twilight and Shining's magic ceased.
"Well, that's a mouthful," Twilight said, in a poor attempt a levity.
"Do you understand what you've done?" Luna asked.
"I repealed the wrong law, yes," Twilight answered.
"I think what she means is do you understand what the consequences of your actions are," Celestia said.
"Uhhh..."
"You've legalized incest in Ponyville, Princess Sparkle," Luna said.
"Oh." Twilight's only response.
"You should be more careful when writing legislature, Twilight," Celestia said. "If you repeal the wrong laws, anything could happen. It's a long, holiday weekend, until Tuesday. Who knows what could happen until then?"
"What do you intend to do?" Luna asked. "Will you redact the measure that you've written?"
"Well... the masons have already repaired the bridge, and have been paid. I can't undo that," Twilight said.
"Do you intend to write a new law to make incest illegal again, then?" Celestia asked, taking a bite of her sandwich. Twilight opened her mouth, in reflex, to give the answer she thought Celestia wanted to hear, and say 'yes' in appeasement. She glanced beside her, at her brother, Shining Armor. Everything she had done, she had done for him, for both of them. There was something inside Twilight. And it wasn't the cucumber. Something deep inside that she felt very strongly. Again, not the cucumber. It was a strength of her will, a belief that she had very strongly.
Something she was willing to fight for. To die for.
And even, dare she say, disagree with Celestia for.
"No." Twilight's only response.
"No?" Celestia and Luna replied in stereo.
"No," Twilight repeated. "It seems like a silly law."
"Silly?" Luna replied, "It was written almost three hundred years ago. Have you no respect for your founding ponies?"
"I do," Twilight retorted curtly. "But Equestria is a very different place than it was centuries ago. This, you understand?" she asked Luna. Luna sat back in her seat.
"It is," she replied reluctantly.
"Perhaps such an archaic law is not as applicable as it was in the days of yore," Twilight said. "Perhaps ponies today are capable of being more responsible with their personal liberties, without us trying to legislate morality over them."
"Perhaps you are wrong," Luna suggested.
"Perhaps I am!" Twilight said. "But I am willing to give my citizens the benefit of the doubt!" she spat with a confidence that she did not know she even had. "Incest!? Ha! What right is it of mine to prosecute a pony for whom they choose to love? No, I do not think so. Not here. Not now. Not in my kingdom!" She stood up, her every muscle fiber tense with conviction.
"NOT IN MY! KINGDOM!" Twilight shouted, angrily slamming her hoof on the solid crystal table, making the silverware rattle. The ensuing silence was utterly palpable. Shining Armor somehow turned a whiter shade of pale, his were eyes as wide as the dinner plates.
Twilight's heart was racing. She had just thrown down the gauntlet at her mentor and drew the line in the sand in the face of not one, but both of the royal sisters. But she didn't flinch. She narrowed her eyes and kept her jaw firm. Her heart was panicking, but her face said "fight me!"
Luna sat poised, ready for any outcome as she looked to Celestia, waiting for her cue, one way, or the other.
Celestia sat there in her seat and locked eyes with Twilight, towering over her on her hooves. Celestia was seeking deference. Twilight didn't yield, not even a little. Not by a long shot. Celestia could see the fire in her eyes. It told her everything she needed to know about the pony. It told her that if she fought Twilight on this, only one of them would be leaving this room alive. On any other day, Celestia would have been fairly confident about her odds. But she was not a mare who played with dice.
Celestia blinked and looked away, instead, at the sandwich platter. She picked up one of the small, triangular sandwiches a levitated it to her face, taking a moment to inspect it. The fresh bread was soft and sumptuous. The sandwich had fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, sliced cucumbers and daises with egg-free mayonnaise and a delightful honey Dijon dressing. Outside, the sun was shining low on the horizon, a deep red hue, poised to set. Birds were singing in the trees. Foals were laughing on the playground. She took a deep inhale, savoring the aroma of the sandwich, as though it were her last meal. She looked to the red light of the setting sun in the window. 'Today is a good day', Celestia decided.
Today was a good day to die.
"..."
"Good for you," Celestia said at last. She brought the sandwich to her mouth for a bite, chewing it with her mouth closed. Chewing quietly, politely, with all of the poise of a princess. She waited until she finished the sandwich, and did not speak with food in her mouth. "Good for you." She took the napkin from her place setting and unfolded it carefully, deliberately, as though it were the flag of Equestria. "You stand up for your principles. A good leader- a good ruler needs that." Celestia sat back in her seat, deliberately expressing her relaxation. "Mmm. This dinner was simply wonderful." She wiped her mouth with her napkin. "We will support your decision. Won't we, sister?"
"Yes. Of course," Luna said, relaxing herself.
Twilight visibly relaxed and sat back down in her seat. Shining finally exhaled. The clock on the wall chimed the hour.
"Forgive us," Celestia said. "Duty calls. If we may be excused?" Twilight waved them off with her hoof from her chair. Celestia stood and gave a polite curtsy. Luna joined her. Each of them quickly cleaning their moist seats with a quick spell.
"Your Highness," Luna said with a curtsy herself before excusing herself, exiting the castle with Celestia to set the sun and raise the moon. The heavy doors of the castle closed behind them. Outside, in front of Twilight's castle, Celestia turned to her sister.
"Luna?"
"Yeah?"
"Did we almost just die just now?"
"Yeah."
"Don't ever let me do that again."
"... 'Kay."
"..."
"I love you."
"I know."
Celestia gave her sister a chaste kiss on the cheek. They were in the public view after all. Even so, it didn't stop Luna from getting frisky with her magic while Celestia lowered the sun. Celestia was sure to return the favor as the moon seemed to struggle to rise. With their tasks complete, they each went back inside. Twilight was clearing the table with her brother.
"Ooh! A pickle!" Celestia said, levitating it from the table to herself before Twilight could stop her. "I didn't see this before, but I've been having the strangest craving for one."
"Uh-" Twilight tried to protest but it was too late. Celestia dipped it in the bowl of Shining's... 'salad dressing' and took a generous bite.
"Mmhh! Luna, you simply must try this!" Celestia said. She dipped the pickle in the dressing again, but bit the other end, holding it in her mouth for her sister to bite.
"But sister, what if our lips were to meet in the process? It would be like we are kissing!" Luna said. Celestia took the pickle from her mouth.
"So?" Celestia said. "It's not illegal for me to kiss my sister. Not here. Not now." She purposefully looked at Twilight in the eyes. "Not in Twilight's Kingdom." She put the pickle back in her mouth. Luna bit, chewed, and swallowed the other end until her lips met her sister's. The two princesses kissed, longer and deeper than could ever possibly be necessary to share a pickle before they separated.
"Now then," Luna breathed, "Today has been quite eventful. You will have to forgive us if we were to retire to our room early." Luna nodded quickly and headed upstairs to the bedroom. Celestia lingered behind, circling the table slowly, with a predatory stare toward the two of them the entire time. She sidled up along side the young siblings, leaning in closely to her protege with an almost disappointed expression.
"Come now, Twilight, do you take me for such a fool?" Celestia said with a knowing look. "Did you really expect us to believe it was a coincidence that your brother was here, so shortly after you passed that bill?" Twilight said nothing. Celestia didn't need her to. "I've known you nearly your entire life, Twilight." Celestia said. "I could always tell when you were lying because you were never any good at it. You would never make a clerical mistake like that. Not ever. Especially not on something as important as your first law in your kingdom." She glanced over at Shining Armor. He stood there, motionless, yet nervous. He was afraid.
"You're a married prince, Captain Shining Armor," Celestia said to him. "You have been honest with Cadance about your... other relationship. But know that she has likewise been honest with me." She looked at Twilight and back at him again. "For what Twilight has done here, manipulating the law as she has, it could be grounds for her to be stripped of her kingdom, title, wings and freedom. Thrown into a dungeon until she forgets what sunlight looks like." The fear in him vanished. Shining's nostrils flared and he grit his teeth. Every muscle in his body tensed. His eyes burned, screaming, 'You can bloody well try over my dead body!'
"Ah. There is it," Celestia said in her soft, maternal tone. She could see that he truly was ready to die for this mare. "You have the love of two princesses that you will need to protect and look after, Captain. I certainly hope that you are up to the task." She dipped her hoof into the bowl of his cum, bringing it to her mouth, licking it clean as she gave him a devious stare. "Mmmh. Two lucky princesses." Twilight and Shining stood and stared, aghast. "What? Do you believe that our visit to your kingdom after you passed such a bill was any more of a coincidence than his?" She grinned. "Every Kingdom has it's secrets. Enjoy yours, Princess Twilight." Princess Celestia took a quick curtsy. "Your Highness," Celestia said to Twilight as she excusing herself. She started to walk up the stairs, turning to Shining Armor. "I hope you enjoy your stay, Prince Armor..." she smiled, "... Luna and I certainly shall."
Celestia turned and walked upstairs to the bedroom hallway. She walked past Twilight's chamber and opened the door to the guest room. Princess Luna was sprawled across the bed in an exceptionally lewd pose. From the bed, she gave her older sister an impatient stare. Celestia returned with a disapproving glare of her own.
"Luna!" she scolded. "Shame on you! What if I were Twilight? Or if it were her brother opening the door for me, and they saw you in such a state!?" Luna's expression shifted to a sultry smirk. Her blue hoof drifted down along her belly to her nethers. She made no effort to hide the fact that she was now blatantly playing with herself.
"Would that arouse you, sister?" Luna teased. "Would you desire to see your prized pupil's expression to see me in such a way?" Celestia scoffed at her sister's joke. "Dost thou think we jest?" she asked, rubbing herself more vigorously. "Do you think that I would not invite her into the bed? What would her reaction be, I wonder."
Celestia gave a neutral snort.
"Are you not curious to her reaction? Are you sure that she would decline? As Cadance has told us of Applejack, Twilight's barn door swings both ways. Or is it that..." Luna smiled wider. "Do you fear more that she would accept my offer?"
"Enough!"
"And what of the Captain?" Luna asked. "Cadance has given him leave to extramarital engagements. I do not think she would object to sharing him with us as well." The corner of Celestia's mouth twitched an almost imperceptible amount. To any other pony, the movement would have been meaningless, if not invisible. But Luna knew her sister better than any other. "I've seen the way your eyes follow him," Luna said.
"You're imagining things," Celestia retorted.
"You can't deny what you've dreamed about," Luna said.
"How did you- You swore you wouldn't visit my dreams without my permission!"
"And I haven't," Luna said, honestly. "I don't need to. It's much more fun to let you admit it yourself like this." Celestia blushed.
"Does your lust know no boundaries?"
"A thousand years of chastity is a long time. We have much to make up for," Luna purred. She levitated a double ended dildo out from her bag by the bed and played with one end against her wet pussy. After getting it sufficiently wet, she was able to slip it inside with ease. She buried half of the length inside before it bottomed out inside her. The other end waggled and flopped around comically in the air. Luna played with it in her hoof, exaggerating the movement. "I've oft wondered if it feels as funny as it looks," she mused. Celestia rolled her eyes at her sister's foalish behavior.
"Let us be thankful then, that you are not a stallion," she said, climbing into the bed opposite her sister. Luna rolled over to her, wrapping her hooves around her and pulling her in for a passionate kiss.
"Hmm, I can hardly keep my hooves off of you already!" Luna said, kissing her again. "Were I a stallion, you would've had many many foals by now."
"Luna!" Celestia scoffed. "You can't be serious." She had no qualms about her incestuous relationship with her sister. And likewise, she held no judgement for Twilight's. But she had always drawn the line at inbreeding. It seemed her sister had no such inhibition. Luna rolled her onto her back and straddled her. The double-dong lodged in Luna's pussy flopped against her white fur. Luna took it in her hoof, aimed it at Celestia's face and stroked it.
"Oh yes!" Luna said with conviction. "I would breed you morning, noon and night!" Celestia scoffed.
"Perhaps if I were so gravid with foals, you would not be so infatuated with me," she sighed.
"'TIS A LIE!" Luna shouted. "I would rut you even as you carried our foals." Luna took one of the white pillows and fluffed it up, laying it across Celestia's abdomen. She ran her hooves over it, imagining it as if it were Celestia's pregnant belly. "Perhaps even more so!" The thought, along with the dildo still shifting about inside her, made her legs tremble. She could wait no longer.
Luna shifted down and away from Celestia, freeing her legs. Celestia lifted one of her legs up and away, giving her sister complete access to her spread marehood. For the two most magical creatures in the land, when it came to making love, they tried to use it as little as possible. With the exception, of course, of some surreptitious teasing at dinner. Celestia reached down with her hooves and spread her pussy while her sister rubbed the tip of the double-dong against it. Luna supported herself with a free hoof and manually aimed the loose end of the dildo with the other. With a coordinated shimmy, Luna guided it inside and they moved together. The rest of the length vanished into Celestia as their hips met.
For a moment they just held themselves there with their lower lips kissing. Each content to just enjoy the fullness of the shared phallus within them both. And more so, each enjoying the heat of the other against their most intimate of parts. Unlike the strap-on, this was a shared pleasure for both sisters. Neither were in a dominant nor submissive role. Much like being in the sixty-nine position. But even then, somepony was on top. Here, now, as they laid opposite each other with their scissored legs intertwined, and the shared toy concealed between them, it was a position of complete equality. It didn't hurt that they both enjoyed penetration over oral stimulation, either.
Luna pulled back just slightly. Not enough to separate them, but enough that Celestia could feel the pressure change a bit. It was a cue from the younger sibling, and all the communication the elder needed. Celestia opened her eyes and looked across her body, at her younger sister, mirroring her supine position. She met her eyes. They were filled with lust, yes, but also love. It was the love shared between to partners who knew each other better than anypony ever possibly could. Celestia tensed her muscles to move herself. They moved apart in near-perfect unison before moving back together, sharing a harmonized moan of pleasure.
Whether they could read each other's minds or body language was unclear, even to them. But what was evident was just how in-sync they really were. They moved in perfect rhythm. The dildo was nearly motionless between them. Neither mare pulled or pushed it any more than the other as their wet pussies slid along its veiny surface. Each time they advanced together, their lips kissed with a wet, satisfying smack. With each passing moment, their tempo and intensity increased. The tender embrace-turned dance evolved into a battle. Each time they came together faster, and harder. Each vying for position, nearly trying to shove the other off the bed in a sororal match of sapphic sumo wrestling.
The headboard began to bang against the wall again. Harder this time, as the royal sisters fucked with wild abandon.
"Oh, yes!" Luna cried out. "F-fuck me, Tia!" The passion in her vulgar words made Celestia's body tremble. She could feel the pressure in her tummy rising to a critical point. The muscles in her abdomen rippled and her pussy spasmed, gripping the dildo tighter as it struck her G-spot.
"Luna! Ah! I'm cumming!" Celestia cried out, sending a fine spray marecum across the narrow gap, showering her sister in her climax. Luna could feel her sister gripping the dildo firmer, thrusting more forcefully back into her. Combined with her sister's warm nectar wetting her fur, it drove her own arousal over the edge.
"Tia! I'm I- ah!" Luna's body shook as Celestia's pussy collided with her winking clit one last time, causing her to cum as well. Her orgasm was not as forceful as her older sister's display. But more than made up for it in volume as her pussy gushed in a thick torrent against her sister's pussy, soaking the bedspread. Both collapsed together with their clits alternatively winking against each other as their orgasms overtook them.
"I love you, Luna."
"I love you, too."
Their ears perked up as they both looked to the wall. Even as they fell still in their afterglow, the rhythmic slamming of a headboard could still be heard.
"Every Kingdom has its secrets. Enjoy yours, Princess Twilight." Princess Celestia took a quick curtsy. "Your Highness," Celestia said to Twilight as she excusing herself. She started to walk up the stairs, turning to Shining Armor. "I hope you enjoy your stay, Prince Armor..." she smiled, "... Luna and I certainly shall."
Twilight and her brother could only stand and stare as Celestia walked up the stairs, turned to go down the hallway, and vanished into her room for the evening.
"I'm sorry Twilight," Shining said.
"It's okay. I'm just surprised," Twilight said.
"Yeah. I honestly didn't think that Cadie would tell them about... us."
"No, I don't mean that, though that was surprising too. I mean them." She nodded to the top of the stairs. "I never suspected."
"Well, I don't imagine that it would be something that they would be terribly forthcoming about," he said as he sat in his chair.
"I guess that's true," Twilight said as she walked past him to her own seat. Suddenly she felt his hooves grab her flank, pulling her backward onto his lap. "Shining!" She could feel his hot breath in her ear as he whispered.
"I came all the way from the Crystal Empire to see you. And I was looking forward to finally getting to have you at last after all these years. I can't wait any longer." He pulled her hips back tighter against his crotch. Despite him having cum so recently, Twilight could feel the bulge inside his sheath rapidly expanding again. The soft tip emerged from his sheath and pressed against the opening of her vagina, not yet rigid enough to penetrate her. The warm wetness of her marehood in direct contact with his penis only served to spur him on. He shifted her seat on his lap, trying for a better angle. In his haste, his shaft sprang forward, glancing along the slit of her pussy and poking up between her legs.
"Shining- wait!" she looked down at his stiff erection. "Are we really going to do this right here in this chair?"
"Well actually," his magic swept the crystal table clean, "I had this table in mind."
"Oh, yeah, that would be really comfortable," she said sarcastically.
"It could be," he said with a grin. He levitated her off of his crotch and laid her on her back on the edge of the table. He reared up between her hanging legs and brought his dick to her marehood, rubbing it along her pussy to get it wet enough to-
"Shining," Twilight put her hoof to his chest. He looked down at her in dismay.
"Wha- Twi, don't tell me now that you don't want this!"
"I do want this. I want it more than anything!" she said, "But I want our first time to be special." Twilight looked at the table's haphazard mess scattered onto the floor with a frown. "Not like this." He stepped back away from her.
"What then? A romantic getaway, chocolates, champagne, and a waterfall?"
"No!" Twilight climbed down off the table and tussled his mane. "But can we at least go to my bedroom?"
"As you wish," he said with a bow, "Your Highness."
"Oh, don't you start doing that," Twilight scolded, trotting past him to the stairs. He followed closely behind her. "You're the last pony I need using titlesaaHHH!" Twilight stumbled halfway up the stairs, feeling her brother move up under her tail and licking her pussy. "Shine~" she could only barely gasp, feeling him licking her like his life depended on it. He grabbed her butt with his hooves, spreading her for him.
"Mmh, this is so much better, tasting you directly than licking you off of AJ's hoof," he moaned into her. The vibrations of his deep voice against her winking clit made it difficult for her to stand. Her hooves gave out and she pressed her cheek to the cold steps. It only served to prop her butt higher, giving him even better access. He made long strokes up and down with his tongue, flicking her clit with it each time he passed over it. And then plunging into her vagina, licking as deeply as he could. Her legs quivered.
"Shine, please," she begged, struggling to climb the stairs. "Let's just get to my bedroom. I need more than just your tongue!" He stopped licking and pulled away from her.
"As you wish," he said. Twilight got her hooves back under her when she felt him grip her butt harder. At once she felt his horn stuffed into her pussy, knocking her from her balance yet again. He pulled and pushed on her with his hooves in time with the movements of his head, thrusting his horn in and out of her. Twilight was at a loss for words. Her every effort now was to just keep herself from moaning loudly. She could feel the spiraled ridges of his horn moving along her velvety lining.
Twilight had only ever been on the giving side of the exchange in the past, with Applejack. But she had never received such treatment herself. It was her first time with a unicorn in this way. However, from her past experiences, she knew how Shining must have been feeling in that moment.
Shining was no stranger to the act himself. Applejack aside, it was a regular event in foreplay with his wife. He had known for a long time since they had first started dating how sensitive the horn could be when licked or sucked. Penetration in this way was the next logical step. Cadance had certainly been quite vocal in the past about her delight with the move. He had been keen to try it with Twilight as soon as she had told him about her intent with his visit. Like intercourse itself, it was pleasurable for each of them. And just knowing that it was his sister's hot, wet pussy caressing his horn made it intensely more stimulating for him.
"Shine- stop, I- I'm-" she gasped. But he didn't stop. If anything, he went faster, giving himself a bit of a headache, but he persevered. "Shine!" she cried out. He felt her muscles tremble around his horn. He pulled out at the last moment and pressed his mouth to her winking pussy, savoring the fresh rush of her nectar. All four of her legs gave out and she laid down on the stairs, panting. She turned and craned her neck to look back at her brother standing behind her. His painfully hard cock was bobbing in time with his racing heart. And his face was dripping with her marecum. "You're incorrigible."
"What can I say?" he said, grinning. "You bring it out of me."
"Carry me?"
His blue magic enveloped her, gently lifting her from the crystal stairs. Her memory hearkened back to a time when they would work together to raid the cookie jar in the top of the pantry. He would levitate her with his magic to get the jar with her hooves. It would have been easier, she later realized, for him to just levitate the jar down. But she wanted to help. And he was happy to let her be a part of a team. And even as she was lifted many times her own small size above the floor, she was never afraid of falling. She was confident that he would never drop her. And he never did. And now, just as then, she felt a warm sense of security in being wrapped in his magical grasp.
But rather than him carrying her in his magic as she had expected, he levitated her over himself and draped her across his back. It would have been much easier if he had just used his magic. She was no longer a small filly. She had a good idea of how much she must have weighed on him. But as he ascended the stairs, if her weight on him was of any burden, he didn't show it. Twilight buried her face into his blue mane, breathing in his masculine scent.
Smell is the strongest sense tied to memory. The smell of his sweat's natural aroma permeating his mane. She remembered, as a filly, riding his back like this. She remembered growing up with him being her first best friend. And while she couldn't precisely pinpoint the exact memory, she recalled when she began her slow descent into her infatuation with him.
At the top of the stairs, he turned and headed down the hall to her bedroom. The sisters were in the very next room over. Twilight's wandering mind was brought back to the present. She grappled with the conflict of engaging in this long-desired intimacy with both of the princesses just a wall away. Legality be damned, Celestia was still her long-time friend, mentor, and confidant. And really, just like a second maternal figure to her. As much as Twilight desperately wanted to consummate her love at last, a big part of her was leery of the current setting.
"Can we really..." Twilight asked in a hushed tone as she trailed off, "with them right next door?" It was as much a question for herself as her brother as he laid her onto her bed.
"Twilight," Shining comforted, "Celestia said, and I quote, 'every kingdom has it's secrets. Enjoy yours. She and Luna certainly shall'. She basically told you- told us that she condones it. Heck, she even encouraged us to." The rhythmic banging of the headboard against the wall in the guest bedroom was all the answer Shining needed. He glanced back at her. "Besides, I doubt they'll notice."
"Oh my gosh," Twilight gasped. "Are they really...?"
"What does it sound like to you?"
"Like... Luna's jumping on the bed?" Twilight said.
"Yeah, maybe jumping her sister's bones! Twi, I love you. But you can be really naive some times," he said. He was right, she realized as she sat on the bed and stared at the adjacent wall. Even after everything that had happened, she found it difficult to fathom what was going on in the next room. His hoof held her cheek and turned her back to him. "Hey, but today isn't about them. Today is about you, and me."
He climbed onto the bed with her, laying her down as he moved up between her legs. He held himself above her and leaned down to kiss her. As soon as his lips touched hers, the noise next door was drowned out by her heartbeat thundering in her ears. She could feel his penis brush against her pussy. She trembled under him at the contact. He adjusted his hips and brought himself back. She could feel his shaft sliding along her slit until the tip slipped downward. He stopped moving and kept only enough pressure to hold himself there. He broke the kiss to catch his breath.
"Twi, are you sure you want this-" Twilight silenced him with another quick kiss.
"Yes," she breathed. "Yes, I want this. I want this more than anything else in the world. I have wanted this- for so long! Please! Please don't make me wait another minute!" She pulled him in for another kiss. She felt the lips of her marehood parting as he aligned himself. The girth of his tip pressed harder at her entrance. It stretched a tiny bit at a time, agonizingly slowly. For all the times he'd seen her take Big Macintosh, he still insisted on being so gentle. It was love. And it was endearing, sweet torture for her lust. She wanted so badly to wrap her legs around his hips and pull him in. But not this first time. She felt her vagina opening to its widest point on his tip and then... it was in. They both moaned into their kiss. It was finally in her, if only just barely. But it was a symbolic threshold. She broke the kiss and nibbled on his ear.
"Please!" she whimpered in a trembling plea. The tender emotional significance of the moment for their relationship aside, she was a mare, and he was a stallion. And they were both desperately horny for each other. But he didn't push his hip forward. He wrapped his hooves around her waist and hugged her harder, pulling her to him tighter. Her hips moved closer to his, allowing more of him inside of her. She'd seen the way he'd fucked Applejack in the past. He would just slam her like a jackhammer without any concern. Twilight wanted so badly for him to just take her in the same way. But for his love, he was too much of a gentlecolt with her. She felt his medial ring reach her entrance. He paused, keeping it outside of her. She'd reached the limit of her patience. Twilight wrapped her legs around his hips and grabbed his shoulders with his hooves. The nibble on his ear became a bite as she growled, "Fuck me!"
She pulled him into her with her legs, feeling his balls slap against her butt. Her back arched off of the bed as her wings burst out to either side from under her. The curve of her body pressed her cervix down against his tip inside her vagina. Her head rolled back and her mouth was agape in a silent cry. The pleasure felt wonderful. And just knowing that it was him made it even better. She froze in the position for only a moment before she flopped back down onto the bed. Her hips immediately began to buck against him, only barely under her control. Her arrhythmic movements were hurried and frantic. He grabbed her hips with his hooves to steady her, pulling her with him as he slid backwards, until his legs slid off of the bed.
Still inside her, he planted his legs firmly on the floor at the edge of the bed. He wrapped his hooves around her legs and let her tail drape down. Her bed was the perfect height for the position. And he had all the leverage he needed to give her the ride she wanted. He pulled his hips back until just the tip of his dick was inside her. Before she could beg for it a final time, he thrusted forward, filling her again.
Twilight moaned as her hooves joined his, holding her legs. She looked up at him. Their eyes never left each others as he pulled back and thrusted again. And again. Each time, causing the headboard to hit the wall. The percussion joined the symphony of her moans and his strained grunts, accented by the wet slaps of their coupling. They could no longer hear the noise from the princesses. They no longer cared. They no longer cared if they were heard, themselves. Twilight looked into her brother's eyes, he looked into hers. She could feel him moving in and out of her. All that mattered now was them. They no longer cared if they were heard by all of Equestria.
In the next room, Celestia and Luna collapsed together as their orgasms overtook them.
"I love you, Luna."
"I love you, too."
Their ears perked up as they both looked to the wall. Even as they fell still in their afterglow, the rhythmic slamming of a headboard could still be heard. The noise was coming from the next bedroom.
"Are they...?" Luna asked, still recovering.
"It certainly sounds like it," Celestia said, toweling off her sweat and other fluids.
"They must realize that we can hear them," Luna said. Celestia focused her ears.
"Maybe not. You didn't seem to concerned with being quiet, yourself."
"We've earned this!" Luna said. " 'Tis been centuries since we've had an opportunity to spend any leisure time together." She rubbed her blue pussy lips. "Particularly in this capacity." Celestia stood beside the adjacent wall, placing her hoof against it.
"Twilight has earned this as well. She's worked hard to achieve this for herself. She ought to have it." She looked at Luna pouting on the bed. "Are you jealous?"
"Preposterous!" Luna scoffed. "You and I have far more experience. We are superior lovers in every regard!"
"Prove it." Celestia smirked and prodded at her competitive nature. Luna climbed from the bed and lifted the entire frame with her magic, turning it and setting the headboard directly against the adjoining wall. She wrapped Celestia in her magic and all but tossed her onto the bed. "Luna, be gentle with me! Be gentle with me!" Luna practically pounced on her, causing the bed to slam against the wall. She crawled up along her body and straddled her head. It was clear what she intended for Celestia to do. She happily obliged. She loved licking her little sister's pussy.
"OH YES!" Luna shouted with her face mere feet from the wall. Celestia nearly choked under her in surprise. "MY SISTER IS THE BEST AT LICKING PUSSY!" Luna rocked her hips, intentionally making the headboard hit the wall.
Next door, Shining and Twilight froze mid-thrust. Both looked over at the wall. They could clearly hear the banging resume. But now it was directly against the shared wall.
"The fuck!?" Shining stopped and pulled away from Twilight. She whimpered as he pulled out.
"Nononono! Just ignore them!" she cried.
"MY SISTER'S TONGUE FEELS AMAZING!" they could hear Luna shouting. Her voice was punctuated by what sounded like construction ponies hammering railroad ties into the wall with sledgehammers.
"How are we supposed to ignore that!?" he asked. "They're mocking us."
"No! She's not taking this away from us!" Twilight said. She got off the bed and moved it against the adjoining wall.
"Nopony is taking anything from anypony!" he said. She climbed in and stood on the mattress with her hooves against the headboard. She looked back at him and flagged her tail.
"Come on!" she beckoned him. When he hesitated, she pulled him with her magic, placing his face firmly under her tail.
"Uh, okay." In spite of the strangeness of the ordeal, he was never one to turn down such an offer. Especially from Twilight. He opened his mouth and planted it on her marehood, pushing his tongue inside. Twilight yelled at the wall as soon as she felt the contact.
"OH, YES! MY BROTHER'S TONGUE IS SO THICK AND STRONG! HE'S GOING TO MAKE ME CUM SO HARD!" she shouted, intentionally slamming the headboard against the wall with her hooves. Shining nearly jumped out of his fur.
"Are you insane!?" Shining asked.
"Insane like a fox! Keep going!" she commanded. On the other side of the wall, Luna went still. She looked down at Celestia between her legs. Each grinned at the other with the same 'challenge accepted' expression on their face.
"MY SISTER'S PUSSY TASTES WONDERFUL! I COULD EAT IT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!" Celestia shouted. Twilight stopped banging the headboard. Luna was one thing. But she was taken aback from hearing her mentor speak in such a way. She looked back at Shining, pointedly, prompting him to try to top her.
"Uh," he tried to think. "IF INCEST WERE PUNISHABLE BY DEATH, MY LAST MEAL WOULD BE MY SISTER'S PUSSY!"
"Okay, a little dark there, Bro," Twilight said.
"Twilight, this is ridiculous! Can we please just ignore them?" he asked. Twilight sighed and lifted him up to mount her. Shining needed no other help. He used his own magic to guide his stallionhood back to her pussy. With a grunt and a push, it was back inside her. Where it belonged. He started to hump away, happy that all the silliness was over-
"YES! MY BROTHER FEELS SO GOOD HAVING SEX WITH ME! WITH HIS PENIS THAT HE HAS! BECAUSE HE'S A STALLION!" she yelled. He cringed. Not to be outdone, Luna retorted a minute later.
"TIA! YOU ARE SO GOOD AT PLEASING ME WITH YOUR STRAP-ON THAT STAYS HARD FOR AS LONG AS WE NEED! OUR INTERCOURSE- -SHALL LAST- -FOREVER!"
"OH SHINING! I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO CUM INSIDE ME AND GET ME SO PREGNANT WITH YOUR SPERM!" Twilight yelled.
"ALL RIGHT! THAT'S ENOUGH!" Celestia yelled. Twilight heard the bed on the other side of the wall fall silent, followed by the hurried hoofsteps out into the hallway. A hoof banged loudly at her door.
"Um... who is it?" Twilight asked. Celestia opened the door and stormed inside, still wielding the enormous strap-on, swinging menacingly beneath her with each step.
"You! Off!" Celestia barked at Shining, still balls-deep in Twilight. He just looked at her like a deer in headlights. He snapped out of his shock and complied, pulling out of Twilight and stepping away. "Twilight," Celestia continued, "Fun is fun, but I have to draw the line at actually inbreeding!" Luna came into the room after her.
"Tia! What are you doing! Leave them be!" Luna admonished.
"I'm putting my hoof down! I can not stand idly by and allow Shining to impregnate his sister! It's... indecent!" Celestia said.
"Tia! This it Twilight's kingdom, not yours! You have no say in what she-" Luna paused. She could see it in Celestia's eyes. She knew her sister better than anypony. And she could tell what was really bothering her. "Tia, art thou envious!?"
"What! No!? What have I to be envious of!" Celestia defended. But she could not hide the red in her cheeks. It was a testament of truth, that Luna was correct.
"Do not lie, Tia! Especially not to me! You are envious that they might have a foal together where we could not!"
"No!" Celestia denied, turning away from her. "That is awful! Only an awful pony would- would want that!" Luna held her sister's cheek in her hoof, turning her back to face her. She wiped away Celestia's tear.
"You are not an awful pony to want that, Tia," Luna said. "You are a wonderful pony. You are my favorite pony. You are my sister. And I love you."
"I love you too, Luna. But it's okay. You're all I need," Celestia said.
"But it's not all that you want," Luna said, hugging her.
"It's- it's not possible!" Celestia sobbed. "We would need a stallion. One who would be able to keep our terrible secret-" Celestia and Luna looked over at Twilight and Shining on the bed. Celestia sniffled and wiped her eyes, clearing her throat. "Ah, Shining. It's good to see you. Might we borrow you for twenty to forty minutes?"
"Uh-" Shining tried to speak.
"What? No! He's my brother! Get your own!" Twilight said, wrapping her hooves around him.
"We'll give him right back."
"Uh-"
"Luna, Shining will impregnate you first. And then he'll impregnate me. And then Twilight can have him back."
"Fine! But he's not leaving this room! And neither am I," Twilight compromised.
"Do I get any say in this?" Shining asked.
"No!" the other three mares answered.
"Great-" Shining grumbled. Getting bossed around by one wife was bad enough. But now it was like having four wives. And it was not living up to the fantasy. "I always knew that you would get us both in trouble," Shining said to his penis. Luna lifted him with her magic and laid him on his back the bed.
"Tia, why don't you see if his tongue is as talented as his sister claims?" Luna said. Celestia unbuckled the strap-on. She climbed onto the bed and straddled his head while she leaned against the headboard. Shining had caught brief glimpses of Celestia's marehood beneath her voluminous tail in the past. But now he was at once brought face to face with it as she hovered over his snout. She lowered herself down, enveloping him in her musk. As soon as he began to lick, her wings sprang open and enclosed them together under them. His whole world was just him, and her. Until he felt movement on the bed behind her. Legs settled on either side of his hips as he felt his stallionhood lifted and aimed upwards. He moaned into Celestia's pussy as he felt his penis being enveloped inside a mare again.
"Ah, yes," Luna said, "Just like that." Even Celestia moaned as she felt her wings being massaged behind her. She moved her hips against Shining's face in rhythm with the mare riding him behind her. Celestia could feel his body going rigid under her as he grunted.
"It seems that his earlier intercourse has left him very near the brink," Luna said.
"Is that true?" Celestia asked. Shining clenched his eyes and nodded against her pussy.
"Mhmm!" he muffled into her. He could fell his balls getting warm, enveloped in magic.
"Just a little fertility spell," Luna said, "to make sure that you are extra potent." Shining could feel his need to cum become magnified, increasing along with the weight in his sack, feeling over-full. His hips bucked in desperate need for release. Celestia could feel his body thrash and convulse under her, driving her wild. She felt a warmth in her own tummy. "In fact," Luna said, "Fertility spells all around!" Celestia's pussy practically gushed with her increased arousal. Shining struggled for air amid her flood. He was at odds with which of his needs took priority; to breathe or cum. Shining could feel his balls getting tight as she bounced up and down on his cock. His shaft throbbed thicker and his tip flared wide, signalling his climax. His hips bucked one last time and her butt slammed down to meet him, pressing her cervix against his tip.
"MMHFF!" Shining's mouth grunted into Celestia's pussy as his cock pulsed and pumped.
"By the stars!" Celestia cried out, as he moaned against her pussy. His snout vibrated against her clitoris in just the right way to send her teetering over the edge. Her pussy winked and squirted marecum across his face, plastering his mane to his scalp. His vision began to fade as his cum rushed up his shaft in thick torrents, filling the other mare's pussy.
"He's cumming!" Luna said, watching his shaft throb. "He's cumming so much!" He could feel the pressure building up inside her pussy, and his cum rushed out of her from around his shaft. "There's too much to stay inside!" Luna said with glee. She grabbed Celestia's waist with her hooves. "Tia! Let the poor colt breathe!" she said, lifting her.
"Gah!" Shining gasped, sucking quick gulps of air and coughing out Celestia's nectar. He could see Celestia, and Luna standing beside her. But he still felt a weight on his lap. Their eyes followed Luna's gaze. Celestia moved aside and looked behind her. Shining saw Twilight there, straddling his lap with a content smile. "Twilie!?"
"Hmm, thank you Shiny," She rubbed the bulge in her tummy that his cock had made, full of his seed.
"Luna! Why you conniving-" Celestia scolded. "I thought it was you back there!"
"Of course not, Tia! We could not take this first time away from them!" Luna walked over and caressed Twilight's belly with her hoof. "But it matters not. The deed is done. And there shan't be anything you can do about it now!" Celestia climbed off of Shining. Twilight, with him still inside her, laid down on his chest. In spite of the audience, she was asleep in moments. Shining rolled over and eased her off of him. He laid her on her back. Luna propped Twilight's rump up beneath him with some pillows before he pulled out to keep any more of him from spilling out.
"Now then Captain, I believe you owe something to my sister and I?" Celestia said.
"Okay, but I don't know if-" Shining was cut off as he felt Luna's magic on his crotch again. His balls refilled themselves and his shaft grew back to full mast so quickly it almost hurt.
"This way," she said, leading him to their room.
The next morning, Shining staggered about in the kitchen attempting to make some coffee. He could barely feel his legs. The morning light streaked in through the stained-glass windows. The castle door opened and Celestia trotted inside with a dull smile still plastered on her face from the night prior.
"The sun is up," she told Shining. "How about you?" She wrapped her hoof around him, groping at his crotch.
"Princess, I don't think I physically can. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised," he whimpered. Luna slowly walked downstairs. Her mane and tail were a fright, hanging limp upon her. Her sullen eyes were baggy, and half-lidded.
"Coffee," she groaned. He offered her his cup but she shuffled past him and ate several scoops of coffee grounds from the can, chasing it with boiling water straight from the kettle. Her eyes brightened up and her hair returned to its normal, wave state. "Ah."
"Are you okay?" Shining asked.
"Long night," she said. "A lot of the neighbors around here were having nightmares last night."
"Shiny?" Twilight said from the top of the stairs.
"Morning, Twilie!" Shining said, meeting her at the bottom of the stairs.
"You weren't in the bed when I woke up," she said.
"It's okay. I'm right here." He hugged her. Celestia could see him getting aroused.
"Oh sure, he gets hard for her!" she huffed. Luna nuzzled against her sister.
"Well you still give me the stiffest wings," she said. It seemed to satisfy Celestia's envy. A knock came from the front door.
"I'll see who it is," Shining said. He opened the door just enough to look through. Outside was a cadre royal guards. "Good morning," he greeted them. "Is there something wrong?"
"Sir, we've received several noise complaints from citizens regarding this... residence."
"Oh, um, my apologies," Shining said. "We'll be sure to keep it down." Before Shining could close the door, the guard wedged the butt of his spear into the doorway.
"Who else is here?" Shining looked back into the room. Celestia and Luna were both nervously shaking their heads at him.
"Oh, just me visiting my sister, Princess Twilight," he said. The guard nodded to the others.
"Book him!" Shining saw arcane cuffs appear on his hooves and his horn.
"Hey!"
"Sir, we've received very specific complaints about this residence. Vulgar shouting and... a variety of lewd noises." Shining turned a whiter shade of pale. Twilight ran to the door. Celestia stopped her, and held her back. "Incest is not wincest!" the guard said. "Get his sister," he said to the group. The other guards pushed open the doors.
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna stood there, side by side behind Shining Armor. They towered over the rest of the ponies with their wings spread wide and their horns glowing as brightly as their eyes. Their manes billowed in an unseen tempest of their power.
"HALT!" Princess Luna shouted at the mob with the full force of her Canterlot Voice. Shining could now hear nothing but the high pitched ringing of tinnitus from her yelling just inches behind his head.
"Your Highness!" The guard bowed quickly. "P-please s-stand aside. We are here to arrest Twilight Sparkle on suspicion of-"
"There has been no crime commited!" Luna bellowed. Celestia's horn flashed. Behind Celestia, Twilight saw her legal scroll appeared at her hooves. She held it with her magic and stepped forward to join the others. Celestia and Luna parted just enough for her to step between them.
"There she is! Arrest her-"
"YOU ARE ADDRESSING THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY OF THE LAND!" Celestia roared with her own Canterlot Voice. The ground shook, and Shining could feel the heat of her voice singe the fur on the tips of his ears. "AND YOU WILL ADDRESS WITH THE RESPECT OF SUCH!"
"Your Highness, I wasn't referring to you-"
"Not her, you imbecile!" Luna said. "Princess Twilight Sparkle is the sovereign ruler of Ponyville!"
"Your Majesties," the guard bowed again as he spoke, "No pony, not even a princess is above the law." Luna silently patted Twilight's back with her wing, urging her forward. "Under regulation 1nc35t, it is illegal to engage in consanguineous-"
"Regulation 1nc35t has been repealed!" Twilight said as she stepped forward. She unrolled the scroll and presented it to him. He read the document, noting the official seals of both the princess and the mayor. "In the future, I would advise you research the validity of the laws you seek to uphold, before you put innocent ponies in cuffs." She moved out beside Shining Armor, grit her teeth and growled. "Now Release. My. Brother." The other unicorn guard extinguished the binding enchantment of Shining and the cuffs vanished. Twilight put her hoof around him and pulled him back inside, behind the royal sisters.
"And don't worry about us, Lieutenant," Celestia said calmly as she narrowed her eyes at him, "We'll make sure that we keep the volume turned down while we watch pornographic films. Because that's what it was. A fictional film, being played too loudly, that the neighboring citizens heard. And that's what will be reported. Because if I find out that any slanderous lies are said about Princess Twilight..."
Princess Celestia leaned in close to the lieutenant. So close that her mouth was practically in his ear. And she whispered so faintly that the other behind him could not hear it. Her stoic face was expressionless. But as she whispered, he winced and clenched his eyes. His throat tightened and his lips trembled as he stifled his whimper. She glared at the others behind him as she continued to whisper. Tears ran freely down his cheek. By the time she finished, he was openly sobbing and there was a puddle of urine under him. Celestia stood back up, with perfect poise.
"But, it won't come to that, will it?" she asked with sharply cheerful inflection. He shook his head quickly and wiped his eyes and nose. "Splendid!" she said. She looked at the others and her lips peeled back into an uncomfortably wide smile. "You all have a n̹̲͎i̷̳̘̘̗̫̜c̡̬̘͕e̥̳̪ ̧̠̫̯̜̠̘͚d͈̣a̮y̧ now." She stepped back inside and closed the door.
-
Inside, Twilight was huddled with her brother on the living room couch.
"Now everypony knows," Twilight cried.
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about it," Celestia said. "I assure you, your relationship will stay a secret."
"But now everypony will know that incest is legal!" Twilight said. "What will they think of me!" Celestia smiled.
"You let me worry about that," she said. "Luna? We should go. We have work to do."
When there was a knock at the door the next day, Twilight was afraid to answer it, expecting an angry mob of disgusted citizens. She opened the door.
"Hey Twi," Applejack greeted. Big Mac stood there beside her. "We've got great news for you!"
"Oh?" Twilight asked. She'd meant to tell her friend about her own great news.
"Yeah! Princess Celestia just made a big decree yesterday. She repealed a whole bunch of old laws! Now we can sell cider on Sundays, and gamble outside of Las Pegasus! And...!" she leaned in close and whispered, "she repealed the law against incest!"
"Oh!?"
"Isn't that great!?" AJ asked.
"Yeah. I mean, yeah!" Twilight realized that Celestia had made a public decree to overshadow Twilight's repeal. Now it would just look like Twilight was following her unquestionable example. "It's just, the thing is, I already did."
"You mean you already knew?" AJ asked.
"No I mean, Celestia gave me Ponyville to rule on my own. And that was one of the first laws I changed. I had meant to tell you sooner..."
"Twilie? Who's at the door?" Shining Armor said from inside the castle. Twilight smiled.
"...But I've been a little preoccupied," Twilight said, blushing.
"Why you- scamp!" AJ teased her, bumping her shoulder with her hoof. "Actually, that's kind of why I was visiting, too."
"Why?" Twilight asked.
"Well you see," Applejack blushed. "Mac 'n I wanted to get to celebrating the new law as soon as possible."
"Eeyup."
"But Granny's hearing is still pretty good around the house, and Applebloom has been getting mighty nosy. So we were wondering if you might have a spare room?"
"Oh? Oh!" Twilight blushed harder. "Uh, sure. Come inside."
"I intend to," Mac said.
"Shining," Twilight said, closing the door behind them, "could you show AJ and Mac to the guest room?"
"Uh, sure," Shining said. "Hey guys. Long time no see. It's uh, this way." He directed them. Twilight was about to head upstairs to her own room when there was another knock at the door. She turned back and opened it.
"Yes?" Aloe and Lotus stood outside.
"Princess Twilight!" Aloe greeted. "We just wanted to tell you that we think the new law for Ponyville is simply luxurious!"
"O...kay."
"But our parents would not understand," Lotus said. "Do you have a guest room where we could... celebrate?"
"It's... um, occupied?" Twilight said.
"Oh, of course!" Aloe said.
"We would need to make a reservation!" Lotus said. Twilight looked back and forth between them.
Behind them, she could see Fluttershy approaching, dragging Zephyr along by his ear.
"Even you can do this!" she said assertively. "It will be good for your confidence."
Behind them, Pinkie Pie was bouncing along with Marble and Maud.
"This is going to be the Best Sleepover EVER!"
Behind them she could see the Flim Flam brothers and more.
