> More Than Just Sisters > by StormLuna > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prelude > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For six months Cloudchaser was dating Thunderlane and the relationship was going nowhere. While Cloudchaser had dated a few stallions over the years, Flitter never bothered looking because there was only one pony who caught her eye. For so long she saw her sister go through heartbreak after heartbreak, hoping that eventually she would just stop looking so that she could share her feelings with her. It was after the heartbreaking aftermath of Cloudchaser's breakup with Thunderlane that Flitter finally got up the courage to do what she had wanted to do for years. While she was comforting her like she does after every other breakup, she decided to tell her sister her true feelings and much to her surprise, Cloudchaser had been hiding her love for her as well. Once they discovered their love for one another, they decided to be more than just sisters. While they did have their concerns as to how they would be treated over their "unconventional" relationship, they decided that the only thing mattered was that they had each other. > A Rough Monday > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The whole weekend from the moment that Flitter and Cloudchaser discovered their love for one another was spent in bliss. It was the type of weekend that nopony would ever want to end as they enjoyed one another's company, whether it was sharing things with one another that the other didn't know, engaging in passionate kisses or even just cuddling and staring lovingly into one another's eyes. Like all weekends though, it would come to a close far too soon. Monday morning arrived and like they have been since they discovered their love, they woke up in a loving embrace, gazing lovingly into one another's eyes. The first one to say anything was Flitter, "You know Cloudchaser, I wish we could just lay here in bed like this all day." Cloudchaser replied, "I wish we could too but we have work today. You know we can't just skip work." Flitter pouted, "I know." After a loving kiss the two got up and headed into the kitchen to fix a quick breakfast. Given that they spent a few extra minutes in bed they would have to have something quicker so they just ate some toast and had a protein bar. While it was not as big as they were used to, they figured the extra protein would hold them over until lunch. When they flew off to work they flew closer together than normal which is something they used to not do. What really made other ponies wonder what was going on though was that they were late. The two worked on the Ponyville weather team and their captain, Rainbow Dash, was not one bit happy to see their late arrival. Rainbow gave the two a glare, "Cloudchaser, Flitter, you're late." Her glare changed to a look of concern as she continued, "You two are never late! Is something wrong?" Cloudchaser replied, "Well our alarm clocks didn't go off this morning so we overslept." Rainbow sighed, "Well alright. Just try and get to work on time tomorrow, alright?" The two nodded and began to move clouds in as there was a rainstorm scheduled for that evening. Unfortunately the feather flu had been afflicting some of the pegasi in town so they were short-hooved. Despite this though, Flitter and Cloudchaser, who usually are able to easily move clouds in and out on their own, were sticking together when it came to handling the clouds, which only irritated Rainbow further. Rainbow asked, "Flitter, Cloudcaser, what the hay is wrong with you two? Normally you can move those clouds on your own. Why are you moving them together?" Both of them had flustered looks on their faces until Cloudchaser replied, "Well, we are both a bit tired and don't have the energy to move them on our own." Rainbow knew it was a lie, "Don't lie to me Cloudchaser, you two looked like you were full of energy this morning." She shrugged her shoulders and continued, "Look, we are already short today because the feather flu is afflicting members of the team so we need you two putting in all your effort. We do have a rainstorm scheduled for this evening." The two hugged and went on to moving in clouds on their own while still staying within eyesight of one another. While this did increase the productivity of the team as a whole, it was still preventing them from reaching the maximum productivity for how many ponies they had available that day. While it continued to annoy Rainbow, she figured she would talk to them about it once lunchtime arrived. After what seemed to be forever for the two sisters lunchtime had arrived. As they began to head home for lunch they were stopped by Rainbow, "Flitter, Cloudchaser, can we talk for a minute?" Flitter replied, "Yeah, sure." Rainbow sighed, "Look, I don't know what is up with you two but something just doesn't seem right. Normally you two are the best workers I have and today you're really slacking." She put her hooves around them and asked, "Is something bothering you two?" Cloudchaser replied, "Well, no. Why would you think something is bothering us?" Rainbow asked, "I saw how you two were flying so close together when you flew in this morning, you were moving clouds you could handle on your own together and now as you are heading home for lunch, you were flying closer together than normal. Something has to be bothering you." Flitter sighed, "Is it a crime for twin sisters to want to be closer together every now and then?" Cloudchaser added, "No it is not!" She then looked off towards their house and continued, "Now could we please get home so we'll actually be able to eat some lunch?" Rainbow sighed, "Yes but I need maximum effort from you two this afternoon. We've fallen behind and we need this rainstorm to start by 1700." They nodded and headed home for lunch. When they got in the door they were clearly frustrated yet also worried that Rainbow might be catching on to them already. Cloudchaser asked, "Flitter, do you think she is on to us? Do you think she suspects that we're more than just sisters?" Flitter replied, "Not yet but if we keep acting the way we are and can't be apart, she might." She gave her sister a kiss and continued, "And we need to act like we always do in public. We don't want anypony knowing about our relationship." Cloudchaser said, "I know, I know. So for now, we act normally." Flitter nodded and they fixed themselves a peanut butter sandwich and downed it with some cider. They knew they better make it quick since Rainbow had delayed their getting home and knew that they should get back early since the whole team was behind schedule. After lunch they flew back to work, except this time they flew further apart so that they wouldn't draw any suspicion from anypony. When they arrived early Rainbow was impressed, "Wow ladies, I didn't expect you to get back this soon." Cloudchaser replied, "Well we know we're behind and we want to get the job done before the rainstorm is scheduled." Rainbow sighed, "Sorry but you can't clock back in until 1300. We can't pay you that extra time." They sighed in frustration knowing that because of that, that they may not be able to go home on schedule. This confused them a bit because Rainbow said that they can't pay them the extra time now but would have no problems paying them the overtime if they didn't get all the clouds in by 1700. The afternoon went by without incident as everypony was putting as much effort into things as they could but come 1700, the pegasi still did not have enough clouds in position and naturally this frustrated Flitter and Cloudchaser. They knew they had to stay and get the job done. Finally at 1730 they had got enough clouds in to start the rainstorm that was supposed to hit Ponyville that night. Given that they had missed a light drizzle the previous week, a torrential downpour would be needed, which Flitter and Cloudchaser didn't think was exactly a bad thing. > A Cool Evening to a Hot Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a long day and a delay in getting home, Flitter and Cloudchaser walked in the door just as the rain began to fall and the lightning began to flash. At first the rain was only light. Cloudchaser sighed, "Is this all the heavier they are going to make it rain?" Flitter grunted, "We bust our flanks all day long bringing in enough clouds to create a downpour and all we are getting is light rain?" Her stomach began to growl as she continued, "I don't know about you but I'm hungry." Flitter began to search through the cupboards, the fridge and eventually the freezer. She threw her hooves up in the air and sighed, "Ugh, absolutely nothing looks good." It was not normal for Flitter to get agitated like this and it brought out a bit of concern in Cloudchaser. She asked, "Flitter, there is no need to get so upset." She walked over to her sister, kissed her and continued, "How about we go get some take out, bring it home and snuggle while we eat it?" Flitter looked out the window and saw that it was still just a light drizzle falling. She replied, "Sure, that sounds good." Cloudchaser nudged her and continued, "And with the sound of the rain, it will be so romantic!" Flitter sighed, "Yeah, if the rain ever picks up." The two headed out the door and flew over to the restaurant. When they arrived they headed immediately to the cashier rather than getting in line to be waited on. The cashier asked, "I take it you two are here for takeout?" Cloudchaser replied, "Yeah, we are." She handed the two menus and they began to look over them, hoping to find something that sounded good. After a few minutes they made their decision. Cloudchaser said, "I would like a daffodil and daisy sandwich along with apple fries and a cup of cider." Flitter added, "And I would like a double hayburger with hayfries and a cup of cider." The cashier nodded and rushed their order back to the kitchen. Cloudchaser nudged her sister and commented, "Pretty hungry tonight?" Flitter swatted her flank with her wing and replied, "I am very hungry but I'm hoping I can have some dessert too!" Cloudchaser whispered, "Not in public Flitter! We can't have anypony knowing!" Flitter pouted, "Alright sis, you're right." While they were waiting for their food, lightning struck a nearby tree and what was a light drizzle became a torrential downpour. Both mares sighed in frustration realizing that perhaps going for takeout may not have been the wisest idea. Flitter sighed, "Good thing our food will be coming in to-go boxes or it would get ruined." Lightning struck nearby again causing the rain to only get worse. Flitter continued, "And by the time we get home, we're going to be soaked!" Without thinking Cloudchaser swatted her flank and laughed, "Come on sis, maybe that won't be such a bad thing!" Flitter whispered, "Remember Cloudchaser, not in public!" The ponies behind them gave them strange looks over their behavior and while they did not say anything to them, they were whispering among themselves questioning whether they really were sisters or something else. Finally their food arrived, they paid for it and they headed home. They tried to fly hunched over to prevent their boxes from getting so wet that their food would get ruined. Unfortunately though, when they got home their to-go boxes were just as soaked as they were. Flitter sat her box down and frowned, "You'd think they would use something better than this flimsy paper-board for their to-go boxes." Cloudchaser sighed, "Well let's open them and see how badly our food is damaged." They opened their boxes and much to their surprise, their food had been wrapped in plastic wrap. Flitter sighed, "Thank Celestia, our food wasn't ruined." Cloudchaser replied, "Well now that we know our food is fine, how about we dry off and eat." She swatted her sister's flank and continued, "Besides, we have some snuggling to do anyway." After drying themselves off and grabbing their food, they plopped down on the couch next to one another and began to eat. Flitter is not normally one to devour her food but that night would be different. While Cloudchaser was leisurely eating her smaller meal, Flitter dug into her larger meal as she wanted to hurry up and finish it so that she could give all her attention to what really mattered, her sister. Both of them were excited to finish their meals and focus solely on one another so it did not take long for them to finish eating. Once they finished eating they began to gaze into one another's eyes as the rain was pounding on the roof until Cloudchaser couldn't take it anymore. She pinned her down and began to kiss her passionately. Both mares were moaning in delight until Flitter began to massage her sister's flanks, right where her cutie marks were. Cloudchaser broke the kiss and moaned, "Oh Flitter, that-that-that feels so good!" Flitter began to massage her sister's flanks with more pressure and continued, "Oh is that so?" The lightning began to flash more frequently, the thunder was louder and the rain was pounding down even harder than before. Flitter looked towards the stairs and continued, "So Cloudy, how about we take this up to my bedroom?" Cloudy. Cloudchaser had not been called that since she was a filly but she knew her sister did not mean it in the same way that their parents did. She replied, "Yeah, let's do that. This couch doesn't have enough room anyway Flittie." Flitter laughed, "Oh so you have a pet name for me too already?" Flitter pushed her sister off of her and ran towards the stairs. She continued, "Well if you want your Flittie, you better come and get her!" Cloudchaser jumped off the floor and took off after her sister. By the time she got to her she was already in on her bed with the covers pulled back. She got under the covers and motioned for Cloudchaser to join her. She seductively said, "You know Cloudy, there's room for one more!" Cloudchaser eagerly joined her sister and they pulled the covers up. Despite them having been together for a few days, this was something that they did not anticipate happening so quickly but after their romantic moment on the couch, Flitter wanted this and unlike she would normally do, she took the initiative and wrapped herself tightly around her sister. She noticed that Cloudchaser was breathing a bit quicker than normal and laughed, "Somepony's nervous, isn't she?" Cloudchaser nervously replied, "I'm not nervous! I'm just shocked you'd take the initiative like this!" Flitter wrapped her legs tightly around those of Cloudchaser and giggled, "Oh I can tell you're nervous Cloudy! Just calm down and everything will be just fine." Cloudchaser calmed down as she felt the warm sweetness of Flitter's lips pressing against her own. She parted her lips to allow entry to her sister's tongue and both mares began to moan in delight. It would not be long until the suddenly more assertive Flitter had her sister on her back and pinned down. Flitter knew the time had come to do what she had wanted to do with Cloudchaser for years. She pressed her marehood up against Cloudchaser's and began to grind her gently. Cloudchaser at first gasped in shock, "Flittie!" Flitter began to grind against Cloudchaser with more force causing both mares to moan in pure ecstasy. "Oh Flittie, Oh Flittie, Oh Flittie! Harder, harder!" Flitter began to grind her more violently, "Oh Cloudy! Oh Cloudy! Oh Cloudy!" As Flitter continued to grind harder and harder their moaning got louder and louder until finally both sisters couldn't take it anymore and let out the loudest moan either had ever had. They climaxed at the same time and both released a flood of cum, providing more warmth and comfort for the two. Both mares were breathing heavily as they wrapped themselves tightly together. Cloudchaser moaned, "Oh Flittie, I've never felt such pleasure before in my life!" Flitter pulled Cloudchaser to where her face was not even an inch away from hers and began, "You know Cloudy, what we have done tonight is something I've fantasized about ever since the two of us came of age. I have always dreamed of giving my sexy twin sister the time of her life and tonight, it finally came true." Cloudchaser asked, "Flittie, why didn't you tell me this the day we came of age and helped me avoid all the heartbreak I've had throughout my life?" Flitter replied, "Because like I said when we finally discovered our love that I was worried that you'd think I was sick and back at this time, we would have had mom and dad to deal with." Cloudchaser said, "Yeah that's true but luckily we don't have them to deal with now!" Flitter again pulled her into a passionate kiss and while the two knew they should get some sleep but with the lightning and what they had been doing, they just weren't tired so they continued to cuddle, kiss and listen to the rain pounding on the ceiling. While they knew they had to work the next day, they just couldn't bring themselves to end their romantic night. > Fatigue at Work > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All through the night the rain continued to pound on the roof and the lightning continued to flash. By the time morning arrived, the storm was still raging and unfortunately for Flitter and Cloudchaser, they had not got even a single moment of sleep, not a single moment. When they realized it was time for them to get out of bed, it was all they could do to unwrap themselves and get up. Both sisters were a bit irritated to see the storm raging but especially Flitter. She groaned, "Ugh, it looks like we are going to be the ones to clear this mess out of here." Cloudchaser yawned, "Ugh....this is one of those moments when I wish we could just call in and get some rest." While Flitter was in the same mindset, she knew they couldn't. "Cloudy sweetie, I would love it if we could do that too but the weather team is already short-hooved and besides, we need the money." Cloudchaser sighed, "I know Flittie, I know." She looked at the clock and gasped, "Oh great, we have to be to work in thirty minutes! We barely have time to eat, much less shower and we can't go to work covered in our juices!" Flitter noticed that like it does at the end of every downpour, the rain intensified further. She suggested, "You know, if we fly just right, with our marehoods facing outwards, the rain may wash it out." Cloudchaser never was a fan of flying like that and was shocked that Flitter would suggest such a thing given her modesty. She replied, "Well we could, until we get within eyesight of work! We can't have anypony seeing us doing that!" Flitter said, "Yeah I know, they'd suspect something." Cloudchaser added, "And besides, I don't want them seeing us like that!" Flitter nodded and given how late it was, the two simply downed a protein bar and a glass of cider. Once they finished that they headed out the door hoping that the rain would wash them clean. As they headed off to work, the two flew facing forward, exposing their private areas, but did so very slowly not just so the rain could wash them off, but because they were very tired. Once they got within eyesight of work, they began to fly normally but still did so at a very slow pace. When the two arrived at work, they were immediately greeted by Rainbow who noticed the two looked exhausted. She asked, "Flitter, Cloudchaser, you two look exhausted. Are you alright?" Flitter yawned, "Yeah, we're alright. The lightning just kept us awake last night." Rainbow replied, "Uh-huh. Well hopefully you two will still be able to put all your effort in today. We're still short a couple of ponies and we need to get these clouds out of here." The two nodded and when the clock hit 0800, the two began to move the clouds away from Ponyville. While most of the pegasi were able to easily push them out, it was all Flitter and Cloudchaser could do to move them. An hour after they began their shift, the sky was becoming somewhat clear over Ponyville but it was supposed to be sunny down there by 0900. Rainbow was not thrilled that just like they were with getting the rainstorm started, that they were late in getting the skies cleared. What irritated her further is when she found Flitter and Cloudchaser had fallen asleep on one of the clouds that had yet to be cleared away. She flew over to them and shook them awake. Once they were awake she yelled, "What the hay is wrong with you two? Normally you're my best workers but yesterday you were a bit slow and today you fall asleep just one hour into your shift?" Cloudchaser wasn't overly thrilled that Rainbow was yelling at them. She sighed, "Look, like Flitter said, we were kept awake by the lightning last night so we didn't get any sleep." Rainbow asked, "Don't you two have curtains to keep light out?" Flitter replied, "We do and we did have them shut. The thunder along with the pounding rain just kept us awake." Rainbow sighed, "Well I normally get to sleep pretty quick when it is raining." She saw the two yawn and continued, "Look, I can tell you two are tired and you're not going to get anything done today so how about you go home." She saw the two smile and continued, "But you'll have to come in on Saturday to make up for it, alright?" The two of them gave Rainbow a frustrated look and sighed, "Oh alright" before taking off for home. As they left they made the mistake of flying closer than normal again and Rainbow saw this. She thought to herself, "What the hay is up with those two? Why do they seem to be so 'clingy' here lately?" When they arrived home they headed to their room and collapsed on their bed. Flitter stretched out and suggested, "Cloudy, I'm thinking next time we have a rainstorm overnight we should try to sleep instead of just have fun." She yawned and continued, "I don't know about you but I'm dead tired." Cloudchaser too stretched out and sighed, "I know, I know, it is just that what we did last night was so wonderful." Flitter rolled on top of her sister and suggested, "I know but how about we get some sleep for now, have some fun this afternoon and after supper this evening and then we sleep tonight. We can't be tired at work tomorrow." The fact that Flitter suggested plenty of fun for the rest of their day made Cloudchaser happy. She replied, "Alright Flittie, sounds good. We'll sleep now but you better be well rested if you don't want your Cloudy dominating you all afternoon and evening long!" Flitter forced a kiss on her sister before replying, "You dominate your Flittie, in your dreams Cloudy!" The two gave one another a seductive smile before crawling under the covers and wrapping themselves together before finally falling asleep. Despite all the raunchy plans they had planned for later in the day and the stress from work, the two were easily able to fall asleep. > Getting Some Time Off > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- One month had passed since Flitter and Cloudchaser had their problems at work and much to Rainbow's delight, they had returned to their normal, productive selves. It was a Friday afternoon when they were getting off for the week and they looked at the upcoming weather schedule for the next two weeks and noticed that the most there was supposed to be for Ponyville was a minor sprinkle the following Wednesday and the first to notice this was Cloudchaser. Cloudchaser swatted her sister's flank with her wing and asked, "Flittie, do you see that?" Before she took a look at the schedule she reprimanded, "Cloudchaser, we can't do this in public, especially at work! We can't swat each other like that and we can't use our pet names!" Cloudchaser sighed, "I know, I know." She pointed her hoof at the weather schedule and asked, "Do you see that? There is next to no serious work for the next two weeks!" Flitter asked, "Yeah, and?" Cloudchaser replied, "We have a lot of vacation built up! We should see if we could have the next two weeks off." Flitter sighed, "Cloudchaser, we would have had to talk to Rainbow about this two weeks ago. You know how Rainbow is, you know we have to ask for time off two weeks in advance." Cloudchaser again pointed at the weather schedule and emphasized, "Flitter, there is next to nothing going on for two weeks! Let's just go talk to her." Flitter sighed, "Oh alright but don't be surprised if she says no." Cloudchaser nodded and the two took off to find Rainbow. It did not take them long to find her and unlike she was a couple of weeks ago, she was happy to see them. She said, "Hi Cloudchaser, hi Flitter." She gave them a smile and continued, "I'm glad to see my two best workers are back to their old selves. I was getting worried there a couple weeks ago." Cloudchaser said, "Thanks but we wanted to ask you a question." Rainbow asked, "What is that?" Cloudchaser replied, "Well we were looking at the weather schedule and given that we are only supposed to have a one minor sprinkle over the next two weeks we were wondering if we could take a couple weeks off?" Flitter added, "I know it is on short notice but we just thought that with there going to be so little going on that it would be a good time." Rainbow did a facehoof. She glared at the two and sighed, "Look, you two know the rules. You should know that you have to give two weeks notice when you ask for time off." Cloudchaser asked, "Rainbow, how many ponies are you going to need over the next two weeks? There is next to nothing going on!" Flitter added, "Just a minor sprinkle and on the other days it is supposed to be sunny!" Rainbow put her wing up to her face and thought for a minute. After a minute of silence she said, "Well you do make a good point and I know you do have plenty of vacation time built up." She shrugged her shoulders and continued, "Oh alright, you can have the time off but you better work extra hard once you're back because that is when the late summer rainy season starts." Both of them rushed to Rainbow and hugged her. Flitter exclaimed, "Thank you Rainbow! You have no idea how much we appreciate this!" Rainbow hugged them back and replied, "Don't mention it." She looked back towards their house and said, "Well I'll let you two get going. I'm sure you have plans to make" Cloudchaser wound up swatting Flitter's flank before they took off towards home. As Rainbow watched them fly off, she couldn't help but notice how again they were flying closer together than normal and was especially curious as to why Cloudchaser would swat Flitter's flank. At first she thought, "Are they...." She broke her thought and said to herself, "Come on Rainbow! You know they're not like that!" When the two got home the first to say anything was Flitter, "Cloudchaser, why did you swat my flank right in front of Rainbow Dash? What if she was to suspect something? What if she was to fire us over our relationship?" Cloudchaser replied, "Flittie sweetie, I doubt she'd do that and besides, I don't think she could fire us over that." Flitter replied, "True but still, if everypony found out about us, they'd probably cut ties with us and *gasp* run us out of town!" Cloudchaser couldn't help but laugh, "Oh Flittie, you're so cute!" Her laugh became louder, "They're not going to run us out of town just because of our relationship!" Flitter nervously replied, "Well I am just nervous about it." She calmed down a bit and continued, "Well I suppose we should plan on what we are going to do for our vacation." Cloudchaser embraced her and replied, "Well I was thinking maybe we could go out of town....perhaps to Las Pegasus for some sisterly bonding time." Flitter returned the embrace and said, "Well I don't know. You know how it is down there, normally a pony has to have reservations in advance just to get a room." Cloudchaser suggested, "Well how about we sleep on it and when tomorrow morning arrives, we just go wherever our wings take us." Flitter sighed, "Well alright but we better not go anywhere expensive, you know we don't have a ton of money." Cloudchaser replied, "I know. How about we eat some supper, unwind a bit and then go to sleep." Flitter said, "Sounds good to me." While it was much easier for them to get the time off they wanted than they thought, figuring out what to do during that time off would be much more difficult, especially since they simply decided to take time off on the spur of the moment. That night as the two turned in for some sleep, both had ideas on where to go but wondered, would the other want to go to the same place she did. > Going On Vacation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following morning arrived and like always, Flitter and Cloudchaser woke up in a tight embrace. Flitter gave her sister a kiss and asked, "Cloudchaser, are you ready for today? Are you ready to start our vacation?" Cloudchaser broke the embrace from her sister and replied, "Yeah, we'll just have to decide on where to go." They both stretched and got out of bed before heading into the kitchen. As they began to fix their breakfast Flitter asked, "So Cloudy, where were you thinking we should go?" Cloudchaser replied, "Well while I had my heart on Las Pegasus, I know you're right about it being hard to get a room there. I was thinking maybe we could go somewhere not too far away, I was thinking about Canterlot." Flitter was not in the same mindset. She said, "Canterlot? Don't you think that is kind of close to home? I'm thinking we should go somewhere much further away, somewhere that isn't the capitol city and somewhere that we probably won't run into anypony from here that may be traveling." Cloudchaser wondered why that would be so important to Flitter. She asked, "Flitter, why does it matter if we run into somepony from here?" She could see a slight blush on Flitter's face as she continued, "Unless you're wanting us to grope each other the whole time we're there and get hot and heavy in the hot tub, we should be fine." Flitter's face got red as an apple and she replied, "Well, I do think going somewhere that we can swat each other's flanks without worrying about anypony seeing it would be fun." She held her head low and continued, "And I do think it would be fun to get it on with my sexy sister in a hot tub." Cloudchaser gave her a deep blush and asked, "Well where would you think we should go?" Flitter replied, "I was thinking about Baltimare. Chances are nopony we know will see us and ponies there aren't overly critical. They aren't going to freak out over two mares getting it on in a hot tub." Cloudchaser sighed, "Well it would likely depend on the owner of the hotel but ok, let's go to Baltimare." Given that they never wore clothes they figured the only thing they would need to grab would be their saddle bags and some money. Once they grabbed those few things they headed off to the train station to buy their tickets. Once they bought their tickets and boarded, they were pleased to see that almost nopony was traveling that day so naturally they went to an empty car. They plopped down next to one another and put their wings around each other. Flitter moved in for a kiss but Cloudchaser pulled back. She asked, "Flitter, don't you think we should wait until we're a little ways away from Ponyville? After all, you're the one who wants to travel so far away so nopony will see us." Flitter replied, "Yeah, you're right. If we were to get caught right here outside of town, who knows what will happen." Cloudchaser nodded and while the two kept their wings around one another, they did a good job of not doing any groping, especially as more passengers began to board the train and fill their car. Eventually their car was full and they could hear other ponies talking about them so they pulled their wings back. Once they arrived in Baltimare, they quickly disembarked from the train to get away from all the ponies whispering about them. The first one to say anything was Flitter, "Well, I'm glad to get off that train." Cloudchaser commented, "I know, all those ponies talking about us. Why can't ponies just mind their own business?" Flitter replied, "Well they are just like that but now let's look for a hotel that looks reasonably priced." The two realized that the hotels right in the vicinity of the train station were likely going to be the most expensive so they began to walk away from the downtown district. They had plans to walk away some from the district, they had no plans to go into the outskirts of town where it was primarily old, run down motels with no amenities. Eventually they found a Ramerda that looked pretty good. The two headed in to the lobby and saw a door to the area with a pool and a hot tub. Flitter gave Cloudchaser a smile and said, "This place looks perfect!" Cloudchaser replied, "I know. I just hope they have a room available." As they were talking a clerk came to the desk and asked, "Hello, how may I help you?" Flitter replied, "We need to get a room." The clerk asked, "How long would you like to stay." Flitter and Cloudchaser had brought more than enough for an extended stay. The two looked at one another before Cloudchaser replied, "Well we were thinking maybe ten nights." The clerk gave them a curious look and began to type information into the computer. She noticed that they were both mares and wasn't sure if they would like the option. She said, "Well we can do that for you but there is only one room available that you could stay that long in." Flitter asked, "What type of room would that be?" Cloudchaser added, "We aren't picky." The clerk replied, "Well it will be in one of our extended stay rooms but it only has one double bed in it and given that there are two of you, that might be a little cramped." The two gave one another a smile and Flitter said, "That isn't going to be cramped at all." The clerk replied, "Alright." She began to type some information into the computer and said, "That is going to be 527 bits. How would you like to pay?" Flitter dug into her saddlebags and pulled out the appropriate amount. She replied, "We'll be paying in cash." The clerk was shocked to see this as it was rare for ponies to pay in cash. She leaned in towards Flitter and whispered, "Tell you what, since you're paying in cash I'll give you two one night free so that will only be 480." Flitter whispered back, "Thanks, that is very generous of you." The clerk nodded and handed them their key. She said, "You'll be in room 467 on the fourth floor. You two enjoy your stay." The two thanked the clerk and told her to have a nice day. Once they got into the elevator, Flitter swatted Cloudchaser's flank and said, "Well this is good, ten nights of it just being us and we got one free!" Cloudchaser swatted her back and laughed, "I know." She gave her sister a slightly concerned look and continued, "You know with the pool room being not too far away from the lobby, we probably won't be able to do anything in the hot tub." Flitter swatted her again and replied, "You never know, nopony may be around!" Before Cloudchaser could say anything, the elevator door opened and a couple ponies were getting on as they were getting off so they were unable to do anything right there, but they knew that once they got to their room, that things would change quickly. > First Day in Baltimare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once Flitter and Cloudchaser got off the elevator and headed towards their room, the immediately began to make plans for what they would do while they were in the big city. Some of it was a given and some of it was yet to be determined. Once they got into their room, they plopped down on their bed and began to discuss things. Cloudchaser was the first to say anything, "So Flittie, what do you think we should do while we're here in Baltimare?" Flitter rolled over on top of her and suggested, "Well I'm thinking we could have lots and lots of fun!" Cloudchaser giggled, "Well that is obvious but I'm talking about outside of our room. I'm wondering if you'd want to go sightseeing or something?" Flitter replied, "Yeah we can do that but first, we have more pressing matters." Cloudchaser asked, "And wh........." Before she could say anything she found herself in a tight liplock with Flitter. Flitter forced herself on her sister and besides kissing her, she began to massage Cloudchaser's flanks, right where her cutie marks are, causing her to moan in delight and completely forget about going out and taking a look around. After ten minutes of giving her sister the pleasure she felt she deserved, Flitter broke the kiss and suggested, "How about we scoot up to the top of the bed? This will be far more comfortable with pillows under our heads!" Cloudchaser began to get up and replied, "We can do that but still, I would love to go out sometime and see if there is anything to do around here." While that didn't sound good to Flitter one bit, she headed over to the desk where a tourist's guide was laying. She grabbed it and took it over to her sister. They opened it and Flitter said, "Well let's look through this. Maybe there will be something interesting around here." The two began to flip through the pages of the guide and while there were plenty of historical sites in the area, neither one of the two were interested in such things. Cloudchaser groaned, "Ugh, so far there is nothing, absolutely nothing around here that looks interesting!" Flitter couldn't help but smile as the primary thing she wanted to do was stay in their room and give each other the same pleasure they do at home. Her smile would turn into a frown when Cloudchaser found something she liked. She pointed to a page and said, "Look at this Flitter, there is a club not too far away from here, BaltiMARE Paradise, that caters to lesbians! We could always go there!" While initially Flitter wanted to just stay in their room and maybe visit the pool, this did bring a smile from her. She put her wing around her sister and replied, "You know, that does sound good! If we go there, we can be ourselves and nopony will judge us!" Cloudchaser added, "That is why I pointed it out. I think that would be a ton of fun." Flitter's stomach growled and she suggested, "I know I said we should have some fun but I'm hungry. How about we go grab a bite to eat." Cloudchaser replied, "Sounds good to me." As the two headed down to the lower level they began to wonder about where they should eat. Cloudchaser wanted to go out into the city and hoped Flitter would want to do the same. She swatted her flank and suggested, "Flittie, I'm thinking we should go out into the city and find a good place." Flitter had other plans. She swatted her back and suggested, "Cloudy, I'm thinking we should eat at the hotel's restaurant." She swatted her flank harder and continued, "Besides, we're going out tonight anyway and we need to unwind this afternoon." Cloudchaser really wanted them to go out into the city for lunch but knew that they had quite a few more days to do that so she caved in, "Alright Flitter, we'll just eat at the cafe here." Flitter swatted her flank hard, "That's what I was hoping to hear. Besides, I want some alone time with my sexy sister!" Cloudchaser giggled, "Oh Flittie, you're so cute!" Once they got downstairs they headed straight to the restaurant. When they got there it looked quite busy as there was a convention going on at the hotel. Flitter saw this and frowned, "Oh great, just great. It is horribly busy, I just hope there is somewhere for us to sit." As she was saying this they were greeted by the hostess, "Lunch for two?" Flitter replied, "Yes." The hostess nodded and led the two back to the only available table, a booth designed for four. Without even thinking, Flitter joined Cloudchaser on her side of the booth. The hostess gave them a curious smile but didn't say anything, she simply notified them that their waiter would be with them shortly. When the waitress arrived she too gave them a curious look and asked, "Are you two expecting somepony to join you?" Flitter asked in return, "Why do you ask?" The waitress replied, "Well it is just that there are two of you and you're both on the same side." They put their wings around one another and Cloudchaser asked, "Is it wrong for two ponies in love to sit together like this?" The waitress replied, "Well no, I've just never seen ponies do this before." She saw a scowl developing on their faces and asked, "Can I get you anything to drink?" Cloudchaser replied, "Well I would like a large cider." Flitter added, "I'll have a large cider as well." The waitress replied, "Well I'll be back with those and a couple menus." Once the waitress headed back the two sisters heard a voice say, "Flitter, Cloudchaser, is that you?" The two looked towards the direction of the voice and saw that Cheerilee was standing by the table. Flitter asked, "Oh hi Cheerilee, what are you doing here?" Cheerilee replied, "Well I'm here for the Equestrian Teachers' Convention." She looked at the two, focusing on how they were sitting so close and asked, "What brings you to town and why are you sitting so close together?" Both mares blushed and Flitter replied, "We're just on vacation. We needed a couple weeks off." Cheerilee noticed their blush and was shocked. She gasped, "Are you two?" She lowered her voice and continued, "But you're sisters! Sisters aren't supposed to do things like this." Both mares glared at her. Cloudchaser sighed, "Look, does it really matter? We love each other and we can't help who we love." Flitter added, "We're both mares anyway so I don't see why it would matter. It's not like we could ever reproduce." Cheerilee replied, "That is true, but it all seems so weird." Before anypony could say anything else the waitress returned with their cider and menus. She gave the two a smile and said, "I'll be back in a few minutes to see what you want to eat." They nodded and Cheerilee continued, "Look, I don't think your relationship is disgusting or anything but I guess I just don't understand it." While Cloudchaser wasn't sure if Cheerilee was telling the truth or not, Flitter was pretty sure she was lying and wanted to cut this conversation short. She said, "Well it was nice talking to you but we have things to talk about and besides, we need to look over our menus." Cheerilee sighed, "Alright, you two enjoy your meal." As Cheerilee headed back to her table Flitter and Cloudchaser began to talk about their interaction with Cheerilee. Cloudchaser said, "You know, I certainly didn't expect to see her here." Flitter replied, "I didn't either and it seems like she knows about us, she knows we're more than just sisters." She became a bit more paranoid and continued, "You don't think she'll go to the authorities over our relationship do you?" Cloudchaser swatted her and replied, "Oh Flittie, you're so adorable when you're like this!" She became more serious and continued, "I don't think we have anything to worry about. I doubt the authorities here would even care anyway." Flitter nervously asked, "What about Princess Celestia? You know how she feels about incestuous relationships!" Cloudchaser replied, "We should be fine. Don't worry about it." Flitter sighed, "Alright sis, I'll do my best not to." During their lunch and even during the afternoon while the two sisters were unwinding, Flitter couldn't help but be paranoid. She knew how pure Cheerilee was and knew that if anypony was to go to Celestia over their relationship, it would be her. Cloudchaser was much more relaxed and hoped that her sister could calm down by the time they were going to go out. > Trouble at the BaltiMARE Paradise > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After an afternoon of unwinding and supper down in the restaurant, Flitter and Cloudchaser decided to head out to the club that Cloudchaser found in the tourist's guide earlier in the day. As they stepped out into the busy sidewalks, both mares couldn't help but be in awe of the large number of ponies that were out and about. The crowd was so thick that they really couldn't see what buildings were around them. The first one to say anything was Cloudchaser, "This crowd is so thick, how are we going to even see the club once we get there, much less even know which direction it is?" Flitter swatted her sister's flank and laughed, "Oh Cloudy, you're so funny sometimes." She flew up above the crowd and continued, "We're pegasi Cloudchaser, we can just fly there!" Cloudchaser replied, "I guess when we were in that huge crowd that didn't even cross my mind." Flitter again swatted her, "Well let's go find the BaltiMARE Paradise." Like it is in a lot of big cities, even the pegasi don't fly around that much and this did attract the attention of some of the locals. One pony yelled, "Go back to Cloudsdale!" Another added, "Do you see our skies full of pegasi? No you do not, just walk like the rest of us!" They simply rolled their eyes and flew off in search of the club they decided to go to. Given that it wasn't too far away from the hotel they quickly found it. Cloudchaser pointed her wing at it and said, "There it is Flittie, let's go and have some fun!" Flitter sighed, "Alright Cloudy, but this better be as good as the tourist's guide said it would be!" The two landed near the club and headed towards the entrance. At the entrance stood a taller unicorn mare. She looked at the two and asked, "Do you two have your IDs?" Flitter asked, "Why do we need our IDs?" The mare replied, "You two look pretty young and you have to be 21 to enter the club." They both pulled their IDs out and handed them to the mare. She looked at them and continued, "You two look good for 22. I would have thought you were only 16." Cloudchaser replied, "Thanks, I guess." The two attempted to enter but was blocked again by the mare. She gave them a stern look and said, "The cover charge is 5 bits. You can't just go in there for free." The two sighed and paid the mare. Once they got inside they saw two hallways, one that led to the left and one that led to the right. Flitter asked, "I wonder what the two hallways are for? I wonder if one leads to the wild side of the club and the other leads to the calmer side?" Cloudchaser replied, "I'm not sure." An older mare who was leaving overheard them. She pointed towards the hall she came from and said, "This side leads to the calmer side." She then pointed towards the one to their right and continued, "Given how young you two are, I'm assuming you'll be wanting to go to the wild side." The mare that gave them the information looked like she was around 50 so Flitter and Cloudchaser decided that they would head to the wild side given that it is likely for the younger crowd. As they headed down the hallway they could hear dance music getting louder and ponies talking and laughing. Once they got to the end of the hall they entered a large room with fast paced music, strobe lights and plenty of ponies having fun. This was something that the two had never seen before given that Ponyville doesn't have any kind of night life. They nervously headed in wondering if they would fit into this crowd. They headed in and as soon as they got seated at a table, a bartender immediately approached them. She asked, "So ladies, what can I get for you?" Flitter replied, "I'll take a large cider." Cloudchaser added, "I'll take a large cider as well." The bartender snickered, "You girls have never been to a club before, have you?" The two gave her a confused look before Flitter replied, "Well no. We're from Ponyville so we've never even seen a club." The bartender snickered a bit more, which brought forth glares from both sisters. The bartender became more serious and said, "I'm sorry ladies, I meant no offense." She gave the two a smile and said, "Two ciders it is." Once the bartender headed back to get their drinks, they looked around and noticed that quite a few ponies in the club were drunk. Flitter saw this and said, "You know Cloudchaser, I'm wondering if maybe we shouldn't have went down the other hall." Cloudchaser replied, "Just give this a chance Flitter. We're on vacation, nopony in this club knows us so we may as well just let our manes down for once!" Flitter said, "Alright, I'll do my best." It wouldn't be long until the bartender returned with their drinks. Before she sat them down she said, "That will be four bits per cider." The two gasped in shock as they could buy two whole bottles of cider for less than that in Ponyville. Reluctantly, they pulled out the money they owed and the bartender headed off. Cloudchaser was looking off in the direction of the dance floor and suggested, "After we finish these, what do you say we hit the dance floor?" Flitter replied, "Sounds good to me." After they finished their drinks they headed out to the dance floor and both were surprised by what they saw. They saw quite a few of the ponies there holding onto one another and dancing upright. Flitter asked, "How in Equestria do they do that?" Cloudchaser replied, "I'm not sure but I think we should try it!" She saw that many of the couples were grinding and continued, "Besides, I'd love it if my sexy sister would grind with me on the dance floor!" This made Flitter kind of nervous but wanted her sister to have a good time so she replied, "Sure, we can do that but don't be surprised if I fall over." The two tried to stand upright and grabbed a hold of one another. While they were shaky on their legs at first, soon they were able to stand and dance fine. Cloudchaser said, "You see Flittie, this isn't so hard!" Flitter replied, "It isn't." Flitter saw that at this point almost every couple was grinding so she decided she would try the same with her sister. She pulled her close and began to work on her. Almost immediately Flitter began to moan, "Oh Cloudy, oh Cloudy." Cloudchaser was moaning, "Oh Flittie, oh Flittie!" The two were in such ecstasy that they didn't realize they were stumbling off of the dance floor and they nearly crashed straight into a couple having a heated make out session on one of the couches. Once they pulled themselves up they saw a cerise earth pony and a white unicorn groping and kissing in front of them. Both gasped in shock when they noticed who the earth pony was. Flitter gasped, "Cheerilee, is that you?" Cheerilee and this other mare were moaning so loudly that they didn't even hear her. Cloudchaser nudged her and gasped, "Cheerilee, is that you?" Finally the two broke their kiss and Cheerilee looked up at the two in shock. Cheerilee was not expecting to see anypony from Ponyville so it took her a moment before she said anything, "Flitter, Cloudchaser?" Cloudchaser took a closer look at the two and saw how they were still wrapped around one another. She asked, "Cheerilee, what are you doing here?" Flitter added, "I thought you were here for a teachers' convention." She began to snicker, "I never thought I'd see you having a heated make out session with some random mare." She then turned to the mare and asked, "You are?" The mare replied, "I'm Morning Glory, nice to meet you." Cloudchaser asked, "So how long have you and Cheerilee known one another?" Cheerilee replied, "Uh...." Morning Glory interrupted, "We just met thirty minutes ago didn't we Cheer?" Cheerilee's face was red as an apple as she never imagined that she would run into any Ponyville natives in the club. Cheerilee didn't want to confirm Morning Glory's answer but knew she had to. She replied, "Yeah, we just met." Given their interaction earlier in the cafe and how she questioned them sitting close together, Flitter couldn't help but make a snide comment, "So Cheer, I wonder what the ponies back home would think about you getting it on with a pony you barely met?" Cloudchaser added, "You better be glad it wasn't some busybody that saw you doing this because she would have let the town know abut this." Morning Glory saw that Cheerilee was clearly flustered and also looked at the twins standing before her and got an idea. She asked, "Flitter, Cloudchaser, what would you two think about joining me and my Cheer in our room tonight?" Flitter couldn't help but feel a bit unnerved by the mare and her question. She nervously replied, "Well my sister and I are a couple and we really don't want to cheat on each other." Morning Glory gave them a smirk, "Oooh, incestuous sisters, I like that!" She walked up and put her hooves around them. She continued, "Oh I can see why two little hotties like you would hook up. If my sister was as hot as you two, I'd buck her too." The two worked their way out of her hold and neither one was pleased with what she had said. Cloudchaser gave her a glare and said, "Look, Flittie and I are a couple and we don't want to join you two." Morning Glory gave the two a seductive look and asked, "You two know incest is illegal, right?" The two gave one another nervous looks and then turned to her. Cloudchaser asked, "You're not going to turn us into anypony are you?" Morning Glory replied, "Oh I won't" she walked up to Cloudchaser and gave her a deep kiss before continuing, "If you join Cheer and I in our room." Flitter was not one bit thrilled that Morning Glory would have the nerve to kiss her right in front of her marefriend. She became agitated and yelled, "No, we will not join you in your room! I can tell by the way you're acting that you only want our bodies." Cloudchaser added, "And besides, who in this town is even going to care? It's not like we're a mare and a stallion, it's not like we could ever reproduce." Morning Glory grabbed the two with her aura and snickered, "Oh well, it's your choice. Come with Cheer and I or I expose your incestuous relationship to Princess Celestia!" While Cloudchaser was beginning to get very nervous and wonder if maybe they should join them, Flitter became more defiant. She snapped, "Oh, and do you know Princess Celestia?" Morning Glory was not thrilled with Flitter's attitude. She pulled her into a deep kiss and swatted her flank before continuing, "No I don't but I'm sure if I go and tell the guards I need to report a crime to her, she'll see me." Cloudchaser gasped, "You really would?" She turned towards Flitter and suggested, "You know Flitter, maybe we better just join her. I don't feel like her reporting us to the princess and her discovering our relationship." Flitter wouldn't have it. She snapped, "No Cloudy, I'm not going to go be her sex object and neither are you." She turned towards Morning Glory and snapped, "You know what, one of our best friends and boss is very close with the princess and I know she'd hold up for us!" Morning Glory laughed, "Oh, and who is this pony anyway?" Flitter glared at her and replied, "Her name is Rainbow Dash." She raised her voice and continued, "And she is the Element of Loyalty so I'm sure Princess Celestia would believe her holding up for us over some random mare she's never heard of." Morning Glory gave the two a disgusted look and sighed, "Oh fine, just go and deny Cheer and I a good time but don't be surprised if you aren't met by guards when you get home." Flitter growled, "Well that would be preferable to being your toy." She grabbed Cloudchaser and continued, "Come on Cloudy, we're out of here. I want to leave before I do something I might regret." Cloudchaser asked, "What in the world would you regret?" Flitter whispered, "Getting arrested for putting a seductress in her place, that's what." Despite everything that had happened that night, Cloudchaser wanted to go to the other side of the club but Flitter wouldn't have any of it. She knew that if she stayed in the club that she would likely go and do something to Morning Glory that would get her arrested. > An Unpleasant Trip Home > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After their unpleasant night at the club the rest of their vacation, the rest of their time in Baltimare went as planned. They did some sightseeing, they tried out a few new restaurants but most important of all, they spent plenty of time in their room making passionate love. When the morning arrived that they were set to leave, neither one was thrilled when the morning sun shone through a crack in the curtains. Flitter shielded her eyes from the sun with her hoof and grumbled, "Ugh, morning always has to come too soon." Cloudchaser had woken up as well and sighed, "I know, and vacations have to go by too fast." She pulled Flitter close and continued, "You know Flittie, I really wish we could stay here a couple more days. It is so nice being away from Ponyville and all the responsibilities we have." Flitter kissed her and replied, "Cloudy, that would be wonderful but I do want to get a couple days of rest at home before we go back to work, especially since the rainy season is starting soon." Cloudchaser crawled on top of Flitter and suggested, "You know, we could always stop somewhere along the way home and have a couple more nights away from everypony we know!" She pulled Flitter into a deep kiss before breaking it and continuing, "That way we wouldn't have so far to travel on the day before we have to get to work!" While Flitter was not looking forward to returning home herself, she wanted to be well rested for their first day back at work. She replied, "Cloudy, that sounds wonderful but like I said, the day we return to work is the day that rainy season starts and I want to be well rested for it." She returned the kiss before continuing, "Besides, we can always just lock ourselves up in our house and have plenty of fun!" This didn't sound nearly as fun to Cloudchaser but knew that if they didn't simply go home that day, that any remaining time away from home would not be what she hoped. She knew that Flitter can get paranoid at times and that it would flare up and any fun they might try to have, would not be as enjoyable as she would hope. After showering and eating their breakfast, the two headed towards the train station to head home. Neither one was thrilled to be heading out but they would be even less thrilled when they boarded a nearly full train. There were only two empty seats and much to their dismay, they were not right next to each other, they were across from one another. When they went to sit down, Flitter had to sit next to an elderly pegasus mare and Cloudchaser had to sit next to a white unicorn she had encountered before. She gave her a nervous look before sitting next to her. This mare remembered her from the night club and snickered, "Oh hi Cloudy!" She stared over at Flitter and continued, "I see the incest twins are headed back home." Cloudchaser grunted, "Nopony calls me Cloudy except for my sister." Morning Glory put her hoof on Cloudchaser's leg and giggled, "Oh sweetie, you'll let me call you anything I want" her voice became more intense and stern as she continued, "unless you fillies want me turning you in." Cloudchaser swatted her hoof off of her leg and snapped, "Don't touch me." Morning Glory put her hoof around Cloudchaser and laughed, "Oh Cloudy, if you don't want me to turn you in you'll let me touch you." She glared over towards Flitter and laughed, "Too bad there aren't three seats in a row, then I could have both sisters with me!" Cloudchaser could see the fury in Flitter's eyes and knew she was either going to start yelling or maybe even attack Morning Glory. She said, "Flitter, don't. We can't get kicked off the train, alright." Flitter rolled her eyes as Morning Glory pulled Cloudchaser closer to her. She leaned in and whispered, "You know Cloudy, if you come up to Canterlot with me" she smiled over towards Flitter and continued "not only will you get some action better than your Flittie could ever give you but I won't turn you in." Cloudchaser pushed her back and growled, "No, I will not go with you. You can turn us in if you want but I will not be your little toy." Morning Glory snickered, "Oh well, at least I get to hold a little hottie for a while. Too bad you two will be locked up in prison instead of my bedroom once I report you to Celestia." Cloudchaser grunted, "Remember, one of our friends is an Element of Harmony and she'll make sure Celestia doesn't do anything to us." She shoved Morning Glory back and continued, "If you report us, I'll report you for assault. I doubt she'll take kindly to you grabbing me like thi...." Before she could finish her sentence, Morning Glory pulled her into a deep kiss. Morning Glory was hoping that she could force Cloudchaser into a long kiss but that would be broken when Flitter got out of her seat and shoved her back. She snapped, "Look bitch, if you tell Celestia about us, I'll tell her about what you're doing to my sister and I KNOW she'll lock you up for this. She does not take kindly to ponies like you." Morning Glory laughed, "Yeah, uh huh. I doubt she'll believe an incestuous little thing like you." Flitter sat down and grunted, "We'll see about that." The remainder of the trip seemed to take forever to the two. Morning Glory continued to hold Cloudchaser tighter and tighter and it was all Flitter could do to not attack her right there on the train. The only thing that kept her from doing so was the knowledge that she'd get kicked off the train. Once they finally pulled into Ponyville Cloudchaser pulled herself out of Morning Glory's hold and joined her sister in heading for the exit. Before they got out of earshot Morning Glory laughed, "I'll see you fillies soon!" While Cloudchaser disembarked the train Flitter turned around and mouthed, "Whatever bitch" before finally getting off the train. Both mares were angry over what had happened involving Morning Glory both at the club and on the train. They were both happy to get away from the unicorn and while Cloudchaser simply wanted to put this past her, Flitter was secretly hoping that she would encounter Morning Glory again so that she could either expose her for what she did or put her in her place and preferably, in the hospital. > A Bad Day at Work > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three days had passed since they arrived home and Monday morning, the day they were set to return to work, arrived. The two were not thrilled but knew that they had to get up. Flitter stretched herself out and sighed, "Well Cloudy, we better get ready for work." Cloudchaser crawled on top of her and suggested, "You know Flittie, we could always rest for a few more minutes! We'll have time to get to work." While that did sound good to Flitter, she wanted to be at her best that day. She crawled out from under Cloudchaser and replied, "Cloudchaser, I would love to do that but I want to get showered and I want to eat a real breakfast, not just a measly protein bar." She stood up and continued, "Remember, the rainy season starts today and the clouds are going to be heavier than normal." Despite knowing Flitter knew what she was talking about, Cloudchaser could only sigh in frustration over her sister's work first mindset that morning. When Flitter headed in to take a shower alone, Cloudchaser was stunned. The last time they took a shower alone was the day that she dumped Thunderlane and she couldn't help but wonder what was going on. In just a few minutes Flitter got out of the shower and Cloudchaser wanted to know what this was all about. She asked, "Flittie, what is wrong? We haven't showered alone in ages!" Flitter replied, "Cloudy, like I said, I want us to have a real breakfast today and with everything we do in the shower, it will be quicker for us to take separate ones." Cloudchaser sighed, "Yeah, you're right." She headed towards the shower and continued, "I'll be out for breakfast shortly." While Cloudchaser could understand where her sister was coming from, she still couldn't help but wonder why Flitter was so focused on work when just a few days ago she wasn't exactly thrilled to be returning home. Once the two showered and ate, they headed off to work and prepared for a frantic day of moving in storm clouds. Once they got clocked in they began to fill the skies with the clouds that had been brought in from Cloudsdale. Both sisters were bringing in the clouds quicker than they had in quite some time. Rainbow saw this and was obviously impressed with what she saw. She approached them and said, "Wow ladies, it looks like that vacation did you some good. I haven't seen you work this hard in quite some time." Flitter replied, "Yeah, sometimes some time away from home does the mind a whole lot of good." Rainbow said, "Well keep up the good work ladies." As Rainbow headed off to handle her own clouds, she was stopped by two Canterlot guards. While having two large guard ponies confronting a pony would intimidate them, it didn't bother Rainbow one bit. She asked, "Hi guys, what can I do for you." One of them asked, "Have you seen Flitter and Cloudchaser? Princess Celestia needs to speak to them." Rainbow asked in return, "And why does she want to speak to them? Doesn't she know that the rainy season starts today and I need their work to make this happen?" The guard spread his wings wide hoping to scare Rainbow a bit and continued, "Look, something happened with those two on their vacation that the princess needs to speak to them." Rainbow was shocked that her two best workers would do anything on their vacation that would result in Celestia wanting to speak to them directly. She sighed, "Follow me, I'll lead you to them." She led them over to where the two sisters were putting clouds in place for the rain to start that evening. She yelled, "Flitter, Cloudchaser, you have ponies who want to talk to you." When the two saw the guards they both had a bad feeling as to what it was about but they weren't about to show any signs of nervousness. Flitter stared at the guards and asked, "Why do you want to speak to us?" The guard replied, "I can't reveal any details right now but Celestia needs to speak to both of you over events that transpired on your vacation." Cloudchaser gasped, "Events that transpired on our vacation?" Rainbow asked, "Ladies, what happened on your vacation that Celestia would want to speak to you?" Cloudchaser replied, "I think I know why but I'm not going to speculate." Rainbow had a feeling that whatever it was was something that she may need to be there for her two best workers. She glared at the guards and said, "Well if you're taking them up there, I'm joining you. I don't know what is going on but I smell a rat." One of the guards ordered, "You stay here, Celestia wants to speak to these two, not you." Rainbow got in their face and replied, "Princess Celestia knows me personally and for your information, I have helped save Equestria on multiple occasions so I doubt she will mind." It was then that the two knew who she was and had no problems with her joining them. When they began to take off Flitter asked, "Rainbow, don't you think you better tell everypony that you're leaving?" Rainbow replied, "Nah, they know their assignments so they should be fine....." Before she could say anything further, one of the guards ordered, "Now let's go. Princess Celestia is waiting and I'm sure we don't want her to wait too long." The five took off for Canterlot. The guards flew in front and the three mares flew behind them. Rainbow flew close to Flitter and Cloudchaser and said, "Ladies, I'm sure this is just some sort of misunderstanding but regardless of what is going on, I've got your backs." Flitter replied, "Thanks, we appreciate it." Cloudchaser added, "I have a feeling about what this is but we're both glad you'll be there for us." After hearing this Rainbow couldn't help but be curious as to what was going on. She couldn't bring herself to believe that her two best workers would do anything wrong but would show her loyalty and stand by their sides no matter what. > Morning Glory Exposed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After what seemed to be forever for them, they finally arrived in Canterlot. The five landed and headed towards the palace, ready to go in and meet Celestia. At first when they headed in, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary until at the very front of the throne room, stood a white unicorn mare. Flitter was the first one to say anything, "You!" Morning Glory gave the two an evil smile and giggled, "Oh hi girls, kind of odd seeing you here!" Rainbow saw her smile and was not thrilled. She asked, "Who are you and why do you think it is odd seeing them here?" Morning Glory giggled, "Oh it wasn't that long ago I saw these two! I saw them once in the BaltiMARE Paradise and the other time was on their train ride home!" She gave the two a seductive look and continued, "You know girls, you could have avoided all this had you just joined Cheer and I in our room but oh no, you just had to cause Celestia to take time out of her busy schedule, didn't you?" Rainbow noticed that Morning Glory was walking over towards the two so she stepped in between them. She asked, "What? You wanted them to join you in your room but they didn't so you dragged them here?" She glared at her and asked, "And what did you do to cause Celestia to have to see them?" She again smiled at Flitter and Cloudchaser and giggled, "You want to tell your friend here or should I?" Rainbow asked, "Tell me? What is there to tell?" Cloudchaser replied, "You know how Flitter and I were so clingy before we went on our vacation and flew so close together?" Flitter added, "Well you see, we......" Morning Glory interrupted, "They are marefriends! They are two hot sisters that buck all the time!" Rainbow's jaw dropped open when she heard this. She walked up to the two and asked, "Is this true? Are you two doing something sister's shouldn't be doing?" While they weren't sure what to make out of Rainbow's question, Flitter knew it would likely be best to just be honest. She replied, "Yes, it's true. My sister and I are marefriends." Cloudchaser added, "And you know what? After I suffered another heartbreak courtesy of Thunderlane, Flitter told me about her feelings for me and....." Before she could finish her sentence, Princess Celestia came into the throne room with her wings spread wide. She cast her gaze out at the ponies present and readied herself for the meeting. She first cast her gaze at Morning Glory. She asked, "Morning Glory, when you saw me earlier this morning you told me that these two, Flitter and Cloudchaser, have been engaging in an incestuous relationship, correct?" Morning Glory wasn't exactly thrilled by the question given that she had just spoke to her a couple hours ago. She sighed, "Yes Princess, you heard me tell you with your own ears. Why would you ask again?" Celestia replied, "It is just part of protocol to make sure I heard things right." Celestia paused for a minute before continuing, "Tell me, what makes you think that these two are in an incestuous relationship?" Morning Glory replied, "When I met them for the first time, it was at the BaltiMARE Paradise, a club that caters solely to lesbians and something just didn't seem right about the two." Celestia asked, "Oh, and what is it about these two that didn't seem right?" Morning Glory replied, "They seemed very protective of one another and what made me think this was when I asked them if they wanted to join me and this other mare from Ponyville in our room, they said no because they didn't want to" she then began laughing "because they didn't want to cheat on each other!" While Celestia was not thrilled over Morning Glory's behavior, she did her best to keep her cool. She turned to the two and asked, "Is this true? Is what she said correct?" Flitter replied, "Yes, it is true. She kept on asking us and threatening us that she would turn us in if we didn't go with her and Cheer to their room." Cloudchaser added, "And when we said no, she kissed me against my will!" Celestia glared at Morning Glory and asked, "Is this true? Did you kiss her against her will?" Morning Glory stood tall and replied, "No, I did not kiss either one of them against their will, it was completely consensual. Had it been against their will, they would have struggled and not just let me do it with no resistance." Celestia asked, "Flitter, Cloudchaser, is what she is saying correct? Did you two not struggle?" Cloudchaser replied, "No because she caught us completely off guard." Flitter added, "But she DID grab us in her aura and tried to drag us off to her room! She kept on saying if we didn't join her that she would turn us in." Celestia was beginning to believe that while the two were indeed in an incestuous relationship, she had a strong feeling that Morning Glory may be guilty of crimes herself. She asked, "Morning Glory, is this true? Did you use your magic to immobilize them and make this threat?" Morning Glory was flustered over the question because she knew that she could not lie. She replied, "Well, uh-yeah, I did." Celestia asked, "And why did you do that to them? Don't you know using your magic to restrain ponies against their will is illegal?" Morning Glory replied, "Well, you see....." Flitter yelled, "She did it because she wanted our bodies! She only wanted us to go with her for sex!" Celestia scowled at the unicorn and demanded to know, "Is this true Morning Glory, did you just want these two to join you and this other pony for sex?" While Morning Glory knew that she would have to tell the truth, she figured that maybe if she turned this back to what it was supposed to be about, that Celestia would forget about it. She said, "Princess Celestia, this is supposed to be about them and their incestuous relationship! I'm not the one who has done things wrong! Ask them about how they buck each other, ask them about everything they do that they shouldn't be!" Celestia stood tall, spread her wings wide and boomed, "No Morning Glory, from everything I am hearing this IS about you. Now tell me, did you or did you not want them to join you for sex?" The fact that Celestia's voice would rock the whole room scared Morning Glory into revealing the truth. She replied, "Yes your Majesty, I did want them just for sex." Celestia kept her tone of voice loud and continued, "Here you come in here and accuse two ponies of committing a crime when it is YOU who has committed crimes?" She turned to Flitter and Cloudchaser and asked, "Has this mare done anything else to either of you two that may be illegal?" Cloudchaser replied, "Yes, she has. On the way home we had to ride on a very crowded train and the only seat available for me was one right next to her. It wasn't long until I got sat down that she put her hoof on my leg, kissed me without my consent, put her leg around me and said she'd not turn us in if I came with her to Canterlot." Celestia glared at the unicorn and asked, "Is this true? Did you do that to her?" Morning Glory snapped, "Look, does it really matter? These two little hotties are in an incestuous relationship!" She grabbed the two sisters in her aura and continued, "They should be the ones answering for their wrongdoings, NOT ME!" Celestia broke her hold on the two and using the loudest form of the Canterlot Royal Voice she boomed, "Morning Glory, how dare you do that to your fellow Equestrian citizens." She pointed her wing towards the unicorn and yelled, "Guards, seize her." The guards quickly grabbed Morning Glory and Celestia grabbed her in her aura. She got in her face and growled, "Morning Glory, for what you have done in my court room, you are under arrest." She picked Morning Glory up and began to take her towards the dungeon. She turned around and said, "Flitter, Cloudchaser, Rainbow Dash, I need you three to stay here. I'm taking this one to the dungeon, I'll be back to discuss your situation in a few minutes." Once Celestia left the room Flitter and Cloudchaser had curious looks on their faces. While they knew that Morning Glory was likely going to face criminal charges, they couldn't help but wonder about their fate. Flitter asked, "Rainbow, with everything that is going on, what do you think is going to happen with us?" Cloudchaser added, "She knows about our relationship. Do you think she will put us in jail or make us move away from each other?" Rainbow put her hooves around the two and replied, "I'm not sure ladies but regardless of what happens, I've got your back and besides, I think I know how to get her to let this slide." The two were shocked by what Rainbow was saying. Not only did she not have any problems with their relationship, it seemed like she was willing to help them stay in their relationship. Cloudchaser asked, "How do you think you can get her to let this slide?" Rainbow replied, "It involves why the incest laws were made so long ago." She patted the two on the back and continued, "Don't worry ladies, everything will be fine and you can put this whole mess behind you." Flitter and Cloudchaser, despite being reassured by Rainbow, they still couldn't help but worry about what Celestia would do. They knew that despite Rainbow being one of the Elements that Celestia wasn't going to go letting ponies break the law. > Celestia's Decision > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fifteen minutes had passed since Celestia took Morning Glory to the dungeon when she returned to the throne room to find a nervous Flitter and Cloudchaser and a hopeful Rainbow. Rather than directly approaching them about this, she figured she would ask Rainbow about this, "Rainbow, I know they admitted to this but I do have one question, did you notice anything about their behavior lately that seemed odd? Did you ever suspect that they were engaging in this relationship?" Rainbow, like Celestia, spread her wings and replied, "Well I did notice a change in their behavior a while back but I never thought anything about it but then again when you're the leader of the weather team, you have bigger issues than your workers engaging in relationships." Celestia then turned to the sisters and asked, "Flitter, Cloudchaser, I want to know something. When you two got into this relationship, did you know that incest is illegal?" Cloudchaser was the first to reply, "We did but we believed that we could hide it from the public." Flitter added, "We knew that other ponies would frown upon it but we can't help who we love. Love just sort of happens, it isn't something that you plan out like a script." It kind of irritated Celestia that they would just violate the law despite knowing of its existence yet she could sort of see where Flitter was coming from but she wanted to know more about this. She asked, "I don't mean to pry but could one of you two tell me why you developed feelings like this for one another?" Cloudchaser replied first, "Back at the time I was dating Thunderlane...." Celestia interrupted, "And who is Thunderlane?" Cloudchaser continued, "He is another pony on the weather team down in Ponyville. You see, him and I had been dating for six months when I finally discovered he was not serious about our relationship." Celestia gave her a curious look and asked, "Oh?" Cloudchaser continued, "Yes, he seemed to just like saying I was his marefriend and once I learned the truth, I stormed home and like it always is when I go through moments of stress, Flitter was there for me." Celestia focused more on Flitter and asked, "Cloudchaser said you were there for her. What does she mean by that?" Flitter was not overly thrilled with Celestia prying into things but knew that unlike it would be with other ponies, she would have to tell her and be respectful. She replied, "Your Majesty, whenever she has moments like that we talk and like it is during moments of heartbreak for her, I held her and comforted her." Celestia had a feeling as to where this was headed and asked, "What do you mean by comforted her?" Flitter replied, "Just held her, we talked and I stroked my hoof through her mane. I did what any sister that cares about her sister would do." Celestia could tell that the two did indeed care about one another deeply but wanted to know what caused them to take what was just a close sisterly relationship to the next level. She asked, "So what finally caused you two to decide to be more than just sisters?" Cloudchaser replied, "It was when Flitter was comforting me that I could tell she had more than just sisterly feelings for me and the fact that every stallion I ever dated hurt me, I decided that I could do better." Flitter added, "And while I had been scared to tell her for years, I finally admitted to my sister that I loved her in a way that a sister should not, that I love love her." Cloudchaser continued, "And after that, I was able to tell her what I wanted to tell her for years but was afraid to, that I loved her in a way I should not." Celestia developed a bit of a smile on her face as she asked, "Cloudchaser, I thought you said you had been dating stallions. If you loved your sister that way, why would you date stallions?" Cloudchaser replied, "Because I was not only scared to admit my love to her but I was also scared of how other ponies would react. I thought that if I dated stallions, that I may find one that would win me over." Celestia turned to Flitter and asked, "What about you? Did you date stallions as well to try and suppress these feelings?" Flitter replied, "No. I never dated because I couldn't bring my self to have feelings for anypony other than Cloudchaser." Celestia figured that she had heard enough from the sisters so she turned to Rainbow. She asked, "Rainbow, I know you said that you didn't see anything that would have indicated they were together but what do you think about two of your workers being in a relationship like this?" While Rainbow was shocked that Flitter and Cloudchaser were in a type of relationship that two sisters should not be in and didn't exactly understand how that type of relationship would work, she didn't see anything wrong with it. She replied, "Your Majesty, I know what they are doing is illegal and incest laws probably dictate that they be separated but I don't see anything wrong with it." She gave the two a smile and continued, "Love is love and I think if these two are happy together, who are we to deny them that?" Celestia knew that Rainbow was very loyal that she was close to but she didn't imagine that she would be so loyal that she would not object to two ponies breaking a law that was almost as old as Equestria itself. She asked, "Rainbow, I know they are happy together but don't you know why the incest laws were created to begin with?" Rainbow wasn't exactly the most studious student when she went to school but she did find old laws interesting. She replied, "Yes, they were made to prevent inbreeding." She walked over to Flitter and Cloudchaser, put her wings around them and continued, "And with these two, there can be no inbreeding because they are both mares." Celestia stood there stunned as she realized that Rainbow was right. She stayed in a state of shock before continuing, "That is true, very true. Back when my sister and I made the incest laws we never imagined that it would be anything other than mares and stallions hooking up because back in that era, nopony even thought about same sex couples." Flitter was about to say something when Rainbow said, "With that being the case, don't you think that law may need to be altered to where it only applies to heterosexual pairs because in the case of these two, you don't have to worry about inbreeding." Cloudchaser spoke up, "That is true your Majesty, and one thing I have noticed is that all the lesbian couples I see seem so happy." Flitter added, "And you almost never hear about them engaging in domestic violence." She put her wing around her sister and finished, "I don't know what the punishment for incest is but please don't take us away from one another just because my true love happens to be my twin sister." Cloudchaser added, "And my true love happens to be my twin sister." Celestia stood there for a minute going through everything the two along with Rainbow had told her before walking to Flitter and Cloudchaser and getting down to where she was at eye level with them. She put her wings around them and began, "Flitter, Cloudchaser, first I want to commend you for doing what you did in Baltimare. Many mares would have caved in and went with Morning Glory but you proved that your love is far stronger than some threat that could separate you two." Flitter said, "Thanks your Majesty." Celestia continued, "I am going to give you two my blessing. I do hope that you two will be happy for the rest of your days and may those days be long." Flitter and Cloudchaser were in shock. While they knew that Morning Glory had caused displeasure in Celestia, never did they expect her to give them her blessing. They both pulled Celestia close and Cloudchaser began to cry, "Thank you your Majesty, thank you!" Flitter too began to cry, "You have no idea how happy this makes us. It feels so good now that we won't have to hide our relationship." Celestia pulled back and replied, "I'm glad you're happy but you will likely face a lot of judgment and negative reactions from your fellow ponies down in Ponyville." She gave them a smile and continued, "But with how you handled Morning Glory, I am certain you will deal with them in a civil way." Flitter asked, "What about marriage? Given that we are sisters will we ever be able to get married?" Celestia winked at the two and replied, "With the way the laws are right now, no but don't worry, once you two are ready for that, the answer will be yes." When Rainbow heard this she was happy but wanted to know something. She asked, "Princess, with you going to be changing that law, will you be changing the incest law regarding same sex couples too?" Celestia replied, "Yes Rainbow, I will." She cast her gaze at the three and continued, "Well I think I will let you get going. After all, I know the rainy season in Ponyville is supposed to start today and I'm sure your team has fallen behind in getting it started." Rainbow replied, "Oh don't worry about it, a few hours delay won't hurt anypony" she turned to Flitter and Cloudchaser and continued, "And I want you two to take a couple days off." Both of them looked at Rainbow in shock. Flitter gasped, "Really? You want us to take time off when there is so much work to do?" Rainbow replied, "Yeah, I do. After what happened today, I think you two need to celebrate" she too winked at them and continued, "Just don't go sharing any of the details with anypony, alright?" In unison the two agreed, "Don't worry, we won't!" As they were getting ready to leave Celestia yelled, "Stop!" The three turned around and Rainbow asked, "What is it your Majesty?" Celestia got a mile wide grin on her face and asked, "I was thinking, with everything that has happened today, what would you three think about joining me for some cake?" While Flitter and Cloudchaser weren't overly familiar with Celestia's desires when it came to food, Rainbow did. She laughed, "Oh Princess Celestia, you and your cake!" She turned to the two and asked, "I think some cake sounds great, what about you two? Would you be up for staying a bit longer?" Flitter replied, "Yeah sure, cake sounds good." Cloudchaser licked her chops and added, "I'm all up for staying a bit longer besides, some cake sounds really good right about now." Celestia gave them all a smile and said, "Follow me to the dining hall and we'll have our cake." The three followed Celestia to the dining hall and Flitter and Cloudchaser were still shocked. What they thought was going to wind up being a very bad visit with Celestia wound up being one that was good beyond their wildest dreams. Finally, they could be together as marefriends and not have to worry about any legal repercussions. They knew that they would likely have ponies judging them over their love, now that they had Celestia's blessing, no amount of judging or threats would keep them from being happy.
