> Dawny Soft's Tentilating Adventure > by LilSlipsy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 – A Chance Encounter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Out adventuring and exploring was the best thing in the world, and being able to fly above the tree tops made it that much better. With the sights, the sounds, the colourful birds all around, Dawny Soft could be an observer to all things below. The cloudy grey pegasus filly bounced from treetop to treetop, curiously exploring this new height. Even if she did have to take a break on a treetop branch every so often after tiring herself out, the adventurous filly was off soon enough. However, she could feel something weird in the air. Looking around, she could see a few black clouds dot the area around. They didn’t look like regular storm clouds and instead looked very foreign and coming from deeper within the forest. With the spirit of adventure by her side she glided along deeper into the trees to go out and check what that was all about. Even if ponies warned about things that resided within the Everfree Forest, those were probably just rumors. She could just glide above the treetops and avoid everything. It would be fine. After flying deeper and deeper into the forest, she had to make a landing eventually. Her wings were getting sore and the ground below looked lush, green and soft enough to land on. She kept walking where she thought she needed to go, but truthfully she was just guessing at this point. Soon enough luck favoured the adventurer. After traveling up a slight slope and through some brush, she came across a cave that went into a rocky outcropping ahead. It looked almost surreal how it just seemed to extend down far into the earth, and how some strange, almost vine like things flowed out from the sides of it. Whatever this was, this might be the place she was looking for. The entrance of the cave looked quite dark, and in the air there was a wet, musky scent that seemed to be emanating out from inside. She wiggled her nose a little at that musky scent, but it was tolerable. The black vines snaked down into the darkness too, dangling off the ceiling, clinging to the walls, and sprawled out all over the floor. They were quite sleek along their lengths except for the tips where they bulbed out slightly. They seemed to move slightly, pulsate, almost like a heartbeat. Whatever they were, they looked quite phallic. But Dawny didn’t make any immediate connections with their appearance. Instead she walked forward with curiosity, looking inside and around the cave for a clue as to what might be inside. It could be a cave filled with some pony’s hidden treasure, like in those adventure books, just waiting there for a filly to find. She grinned a bit in anticipation as she started to walk in. Many of the vines dangled down from the ceiling, making it hard to walk by without bumping into them every so often. But as the light from the evening sun started to fade, it seemed like she was always bumping into the vines. She could feel them around her and beneath her hooves; they felt warm to the touch and squishy even, almost like some kind of fleshy snake and not the plant she was envisioning. The vines were camouflaged almost perfectly in the darkness, she couldn’t see any of them and it seemed like they were all just lined up in front of her to bump into. They slid along her sides a little as she brushed by them, getting hung up in her charcoal grey tail for a moment before falling back off. “Where’s the treasure?” she casually said under her breath as she pushed through. Who knew adventuring could be this hard? But as if Celestia herself answered her call, up ahead a faint blue light started to appear, looking like it was around a corner and just up ahead. “Hello!?” she shouted out in curiosity when she saw it; her voice echoing down the tunnel. To her surprise a quiet voice called back out to her. “H-hello?” It certainly didn’t sound like hers; it sounded more like another pony that anything else! One who probably had a light! She grinned in the darkness and hurried along down the passageway, eager to find whoever was down here. Soon she was able to see all around her when she got close enough to the light. It was a blessing to see her hooves again. Next time she goes spelunking she just might bring a flashlight. Eagerly she trotted around the corner to find the source of this light and the pony it came from. However, around the corner, the cave seemed to naturally expand out into a large room. Blue fungi looking plants clung to the ceiling, naturally illuminating the area with a blue glow. Several more tunnels appeared to branch off from this central room, going down further into the earth. Most importantly, and the thing that stopped the filly in her tracks was the fact that these vines were everywhere: wigging around in seemingly random directions along the ceilings, floors, and spreading down into all of the tunnels. They all congregated into a giant central black mass that looked like it was taking up the entire side of the room. It vibrated and that same small voice was heard as it curiously said, “h-hello?” “U-umm… H-hello?” Dawny said in surprise and bewilderment at the sight of the massive creature. She could feel her heartbeat pounding in her chest as her wide eyes stared at the large mass of vines. “W-What… What are you? W-who are you?!” She managed to blurt out finally. It could talk, but it was hard to decide to stay here and listen for its reply, or run out of the room screaming. “Me? Well my name is Carrous… I am all that you see around you… I am this cave,” The voice said happily as the mass vibrated in time with its voice. Though that response did seem a little vague and didn’t really answer her first question. “What is your name dearie? I’ve never met a pony as small as you before. You’re so much smaller than the other ponies, though I’m sure it won’t matter too much,” Carrous said with a sly, yet cheerful tone. Dawny tilted her head at that, but didn’t know what that could mean. “U-uhh… My name’s Dawny… Dawny Soft. And well… I’m small because I’m a filly.” Looking around the room she could see some of the vines slowly wiggling along the ground in her direction; though it was hard to tell if it was on purpose or they were just moving randomly. “Wait. What do you mean other ponies? You mean other ponies came here before?” “Yes! I’ve seen many ponies before, and it always gets me so excited to meet new ones! We have had lots of fun together, and I’m sure we will too. But I must say that you are one of the cutest ponies I’ve seen.” The complement brought a surprising blush to the filly’s cheeks. This thing was so strange and freaky, but yet spoke so sweetly to her. “T-thanks,” she said with a little hesitation and a nervous smile. Noticing those vines were getting closer by the second, she started to back up away from them. “W-what do you mean by umm… fun together?” she said with a quick glance over to the mass. It wasn’t like they were going to be playing a board game or playing hoofball anytime soon. “Well you know, where I feel you all over. Rub you and those warm spots, then that blissful orgasm ponies always like so much, hehe.” “O-Orgasm?” Dawny asked with a blank look on her face. “Ummm… orgasms? Like when a pony cums? That’s another way to say it, right?” Carrous continued to explain, but from the confused face on the filly it looked like she didn’t understand. “Y-you don’t know? Well don’t worry! I can show you exactly what it means dearie.” Dawny was still back peddling around the room, trying to avoid those strange vines. But they just kept lazily following her wherever she went. Suddenly though, she felt them brush against her tail and tap against the back of her legs. “Eep!” She squeaked out as she jumped into the air and started to hover above the ground in a panic, huffing out loud as her sore wings made themselves known once more. “Don’t worry Dawny. It will be real fun and I’ve done it many times to many ponies, and they all seemed very happy about it, hehe,” Carrous giggled as the vines started to lift off of the ground and follow the fretful pegasus. Even with being an inexperienced and tried flyer, Dawny kept out of their reach as she flapped up higher in the surprisingly large room. Though with one look up at the tendrils hanging down, she knew she didn’t have much room left to go. “I can see you might be a little nervous, but you don’t have to be. I’ll take care of you in here, make it one of the best times you’ve ever had. You can trust me Dawny.” Carrous’s sweet words came out, sounding almost like sugar to the ears with the way it talked. Part of her did want to listen, to just glide down and take a rest after all this flying and walking. But the other part of her wasn’t having any of that. She eyed the tunnel she came from. It was the way out of here right? No way she’d confuse it with all the other similar looking tunnels in her panic. “Maybe next time!” She said with a wave of her hoof as she glided down through an opening in the vines and flew into the tunnel to freedom. She could hear a small giggle behind her as her hooves hit the ground and she began to trot out into the darkness once more. “We’ll have lots of fun next time we meet, hehe!” “Just got to get out…” Dawny said under her breath as she walked along. It was dark again after trotting off from that lit up room. She walked along at a brisk pace, with her wings outstretched in front of her to feel around in the darkness. Her body wanted to run, but every time she went too fast it felt like she might just run headfirst into a wall or trip on the ground. The darkness didn’t let her see anything in front of her at all, but behind her she could still see that faint light, twinkling like a star in the night, almost like it was beckoning her to turn around. For what it was worth the trek back seemed to have a lot less of those vines dangling around. “Oh princess. How long have I been down here?” she mumbled as she continued down the tunnel. It could have been night time for all she knew, it felt like ages had gone by while alone and thinking. Whatever was back there seemed to be everything an adventurer would call a monster, or a boss at the end of a dungeon. But there was no magical win button on the side, or friends to go with and battle a dragon terrorizing the town. There was just her. She couldn’t battle it. Though on second thought, it hadn’t really seemed interested in fighting her either, and instead on having fun and being happy. Whatever that meant, she wasn’t sure. She traced the wall with her wing, following it along to hopefully reach the exit without getting lost. Though, she did remember traveling on a small decline when she entered the cave for the first time. This route, felt like it was just heading into the earth at a similar downwards slope. She shook her head in disbelief. It had to be her imagination. It didn’t help her hopes at all when she felt the wall of the cave start to take a sharp turn right and around a corner. “Aw, hay bales!” She cursed out loud, as her eyes confirmed what she knew all along. The first glimpse of light was in front of her, but not of the outside sun. A purple glow dimly illuminated a small patch on the ground; another one of those mushrooms growing in a tiny patch that was barely the size of her hoof. There was hardly any light coming from it, but there was no way she’d miss something like this on the way in. “I… I went the wrong way,” she said with a heavy sigh as she looked back at that blue twinkling light from where she came. Next time was happening a whole lot sooner than she wanted. After the even longer trip back, Dawny reluctantly walked out of that dark tunnel and into the blue hued room once more. “Oh, hello Dawny!” The voice called out enthusiastically, sounding almost like she was running into an old friend after being separated for so long. “H-hello. Umm… Carrous?” Dawny said, trying out the creatures name for the first time. “I got lost and must have taken the wrong way out and well… I’m back…”She scratched her hoof sheepishly, looking around and avoiding eye contact with the mass; if it even had eyes. “Well I’m glad that you are alright, I wouldn’t want you to get hurt in here. But isn’t it wonderful that your back here to stay with me? And you even remembered my name, hehe!” “I… I guess I’m here to stay, but… Can I go?” Dawny asked as she glanced at another one of the tunnels before looking back at the large mass of moving vines. “You’re free to leave whenever you would like sweetie,” Carrous explained, but then added in a slightly slyer tone, “but then both of us would be missing out on something great.” Dawny scrunched her face a little as she heard that reply. Of course she was allowed to go, but the voice was just conveniently not telling her which one of these tunnels was the exit, that would be too easy. “A-alright…” She said hesitantly, feeling like she was almost at the end of her wits here, at least enough to try and hear what the creature had to say. “Oh, we’re both going to have so much fun!” Carrous cheered on as its vines started to mobilize and made their way over at their casual speed. Dawny stood her ground as the vines wiggled along the ground towards her. She still wanted to run and try her luck dashing through another tunnel, but what if she went down a wrong path again? Or what about getting lost in this underground maze? Maybe she could try this? Carrous did make it sound better than being lost and alone. The vines were almost upon her. She took a quick gulp of air and shut her eyes tight, feeling like she was about to go jumping into a lake. Her hooves tensed in anticipation, her mind racing as she thought about what could happen next. She felt their long lengths rub against the base of her hooves as they passed. Some poked along her hooves, and a warm, sticky dampness followed whenever they touched. “My… your fur is so soft. It fits to your name so well little one.” Their touches felt really gentle as they slowly moved up, grazing along her fur. Two even sunk themselves into the filly’s charcoal grey tail, curling around and feeling at the hairs within. “T-Thanks,” Dawny manage to say, shivering a little as they touched along her belly and chest area. The softness of their touch only made it that much more noticeable that it was tickling her. She shifted her hooves, while biting at her lips to hold back a small grin. “Hmmph,” she reflexively breathed out, but the vines didn’t stop in the slightest. It was getting to be too much to hold it in. “Hah, y-you’re tickling me!” She squeaked trying to stifle the giggles, and opened her eyes to look at the vines around her. “Oh am I?” Carrous said in a sly tone that revealed that it knew exactly what it was doing. With one sudden rub into her, it finally sent her over the edge, breaking the dam and setting loose a torrent of laugher. “Hehehe~! Y-yes!” She squeaked out again and brought a hoof to her tummy to quell the belly tickles. Thankfully the vines relented and slowly moved up her barrel. “Huh?” she curiously let out as she felt something odd with her hoof. It was that warm, stickiness on belly where the vines were. Bring her hoof to her face to inspect it she could smell that musky scent emanating off of it. She looked at one of the vines poking her hoof and could see a bit of warm liquid coming from a small hole in the tip, matting her fur a little wherever it touched. Beside the one vine, another slowly started to coil up the same foreleg that was being poked. “Carrous, what’s this gooey stuff that’s coming out from you?” she asked, looking back to her raised hoof at mysterious liquid up close. “It’s like… it’s like slime or sap or something.” “Hehe, the gooey stuff? Those are my excretions,” Carrous answered back simply. “Excretions? What is that for?” she asked as she looked herself over. It was starting to coat most of her fur in that warm, sticky blanket, and it wasn’t helping any that the vines were starting to rub up against her, and consequently rub that substance deeper into her fur. Their ministrations felt a bit firmer as they went along, almost like some kind of massage when they moved onto her back. “Well it helps me move... grow... spread…” the creature said in an odd tone, as another vine coiled around a hind leg. “It is really quite useful. Here, try some!” And with that a vine slowly moved closer to her face, almost making her go cross-eyed as it stopped only an inch from her mouth. There was a trail of that sap slowly running down the end of it and dripping onto the floor. Hesitantly, she gave it an inspecting sniff before sticking out her tongue curiously and giving the end of it a cautious lick. The vine noticeably shivered on contact, and the voice sounded almost like it let out a long breath somehow after holding it in in anticipation, “Mmm… there we go. You’re such a good filly pony.” Dawny couldn’t help but blush a little for the unexpected praise. Her tongue came back in to inspect what was on it, and the vine slowly followed and rubbed softly against her lips when they closed shut. The strange sap tasted a little salty, yet sweet, mixed in with an exotic tang that she couldn’t quite place. The sticky sap seemed to lose its stickiness almost as soon as it mixed with her saliva. It felt like super slippery water with its new found oily slickness. Her tongue kind of felt like it was just gliding along in her mouth. The vines on her back were kneading her body like a full squad of trained spa ponies. Slowly they made their way down to her lower back and rubbed right up against the base of her tail. It almost instantly made her rear reflexively lift up and her tail arch up even higher, all while her back curved down under the vines’ touches. They were weird, but if she closed her eyes they did feel kind of nice with the way the grabbed onto her. Like it was hugging her all over with the way they rubbed and squeezed along her body. She couldn’t help but breathe a little harder, feeling almost lightheaded as a swarm of flapping butterflies grew inside her tummy. Her lips were parted a little now that she was panting ever so slightly. The vine on her mouth slowly slipped in between the gap, curiously feeling the inside like it didn’t want to miss a spot. Dawny opened her eyes up wider for a moment, but didn’t offer up any protest, and instead started to softly suckle it when its goo dripped onto her tongue. “Your mouth feels so small, but your warmth is still so nice,” the voice softly remarked as a vine started to coil up her other hindleg. It wrapped all the way up till the tip landed on the blank spot where her cutie mark would have been. Another soon followed by wrapping up her last free hoof. With the way the vines tended to her body, it was making her legs feel weaker by the moment. It felt almost like a good thing at this point, that they were there to help prop her up. Her legs shook a little more, to the point that she pushed the vine in her mouth aside with her tongue to try to speak. “C-could you lift me up? I... I like being in the air,” she said reluctantly with a small blush on her face, feeling a little strange for asking it something, but at the same time, like it might be ok. Maybe it could even feel like being held up by one of those clouds her and mama rested on a few weeks ago. The vines tightened around her legs and torso and started to slowly raise her up in the air almost right when she asked. “Is this better for you?” Carrous asked, and only got a few nods in response as the filly went back to suckling on that vine. Slowly though, the two vines that had been playing inside her darkened tail slid out, touching right at the very bottom of the young pegasus’s thighs. Given the thoroughness of the vines along the rest of her body, only her rear had been kept pristine. The filly didn’t even notice this peculiarity, but that fact soon dawned on her as she felt the vine slowly start to glide up, barely grazing along her fur and sending those electrifying tickles through her body. What was it doing? Did it know where it was heading? “Hmmm?” she questioned out through the vine still wiggling in her maw. She squirmed a little in the vines’ grip, and looked back to watch what they were doing. Her heartbeat went up once more, and those butterflies in her tummy were flapping up a storm for some reason. Closer and closer they came to that source of warmth, at a speed that would be unbearably teasing for a mare who knew what was happening. But finally they reached her maidenhood, bring a shiver and a sharp gasp from the filly as they traced along the outside mound with those tips. The vines themselves shivered too, going all the way down the length and into the mass itself, making it vibrate heavily once more and letting out a sound of satisfaction. “Mmmm… Oh my, you’re so… put together back here,” it said in wonder and surprise, “I’ve never seen one so… beautiful. It’s almost like your mouth lips with how tight against each other they are.” The vines traced the outside of her mound, almost like they were admiring the gift they were getting. One moved right from the very top of her fillyhood and slid right along that pronounced line. Her folds parting ever so slightly from the top all the way to the bottom, until the vine flicked off quickly on the hidden pink pearl nestled away. As she felt the vine going down, Dawny couldn’t help but lower her eyes and pant hotly onto the vine in her mouth. Her filly folds were growing hotter every second they touched there. But as soon as the vine slipped firmly off the end, she couldn’t help but reflexively curl up ever so slightly and give out a muffled moan. It felt so sensitive when it touched there and left behind a noticeable, warm tingling as soon as it left. She pushed the vine out of her mouth with her tongue and taking a few hard breaths in. “Y-you’re… you’re t-tickling m-me,” Dawny mumbled in a much different tone this time, one that was less filled with annoyance, and now full of her confusing observations. “Don’t worry. These are good tickles, and it will only get better,” Carrous said happily, “Hehe, I can already feel you starting to like them. Don’t you agree?” The vines were feeling along her entire mound now, softly rubbing into her and covering it in their hot sap. Others that joined in were gently spreading apart her filly folds, and softly rolling the delicate petals between their tips. Dawny could only think of tickles to describe the sensations. But they didn’t feel exactly like tickles, but almost like something new entirely. Their touches were making her tingle all over, and felt like they were tickling her, but at the same time scratching that needy itch in the best way possible. However the defiant filly shook her head. “M-mama told me to never let another p-pony touch me… mmm… r-right there~” she said with heated breath, squeezing her eyes shut for moment when it got too much. “And do I look like a pony?” the creature asked in an amused tone, as one of the vines placed the side of its impossibly long length into her open slit. Slowly it started to slide upwards, its tip lifting past her tail and into the air. “A-ahh~ W-well… no. You’re not a pony, s-so… I-I guess it’s fine…” she said with reluctance, feeling that the logic was correct, yet somehow wrong at the same time. Though, with the current distractions it was a bit hard to think why. Instead she moved her head to the patiently waiting vine in front of her mouth, and grasped upon it with her lips. She started to suckle it, using that as a distraction to focus on. The one vine with its length cupped by the filly’s folds stopped going up and started to slide back down with a bit more speed, feeling almost like it was playing her feminine features like a stringed instrument. It seemed to be working as the young pegasus began to moan out more. Her folds were covered in that warm goo, but there was something else that she could start to feel every time her hips shifted around. A warm, buttery feeling felt like it was growing deeper inside her, where the vines hadn’t touched yet; it felt distinctly different from the vines’ own liquid. Even so, that same super slippery feeling that covered the inside of her mouth was growing all over her little flower the more the vines played around. The vine gliding along her feminine slip’n’slide was picking up speed. It firmly squished into her bits, leaving the filly to squirm and wither under the electrifying pleasure. Her back legs tried to weakly kick out, but they barely moved as the vine held her in the air. She sucked on the vine hard after feeling a sudden spike in pleasure. The creature seemed to realize this, as the vine slid down one final time until its bulbous tip pressed into her fillyhood. With the momentum of the vines movements still carrying like a spring, it pushed into her and rushed down her tunnel. Even though the filly’s impossibly tight tunnel resisted the vines intrusion, the tip swiftly conquered it and pushed inside in one motion, tearing through anything in its way. Dawny’s eyes opened wide as she felt something tear inside her, only to close them again tightly and cry out when she felt that spike of pain lance out. Her vine wrapped forelegs went to her lower belly, pressing in tightly to try and quell the hurt as she writhed around in the air. Sensing the opposite emotion to what the creature was expecting, the vines everywhere stopped the moment Dawny cry out. “Oh no… Dawny? Dawny are you ok?” Carrous asked in a concerned panic as the vine pulled from the filly’s mouth. “I… I didn’t mean… oh no… d-did I hurt you?” The teary eyed filly sniffed a bit as she held her eyes shut. “I… I don’t like you,” she whimpered from the sting that was still there. It was dulling, but not fast enough. “Oh no… D-don’t say that. Please,” Carrous said in disbelief to what was happening. “I don’t know what went wrong, honestly. That’s never happened before.” The stunned vines mostly stayed frozen, but some of them on her back and shoulders tried to gently rub and squeeze her, trying to be as comforting as it could. “I’m… I’m sorry if I hurt you. Truly, I didn’t mean it.” Dawny didn’t respond back, but her eyes softened a little as she slowly opened them enough to let light through. Her hooves massaged that spot in her tummy as best as she could. The sharp sting was now a dull ache that just remained. Though, it was becoming harder to focus solely on even that, with the warmth in her loins surfacing back up. Her breathing calmed a little, as the discomfort subsided. While the vine halfway inside her was still motionless, she could still feel its strong heartbeat pulsating against her walls, twitching every so often as her velvety pink tunnel reflexively hugged it. It was a feeling that made her shudder from head to hoof. She breathed out a shaky sigh, and looked to the vine that was kind enough to leave her mouth. Her jaw opened a little, and the vine took the opportunity, moving slowly enough to confirm that it was ok to do so. The suspended filly did the best she could come up with by wrapping her lips around the vine once more and sucking on it. More of the goo seemed to come out each time she sucked, and with a delightful moan coming from Carrous, “mmm… you are a very nice little pony, you know that?” Only a light moan came from her, feeling her body reflexively massage and convulse around the protrusion. It was hard to prevent it, half her body felt like it was having a mind of its own right now. The tension and concern in the air seemed to transform into calmness after some time. Slowly the vines began to gently massage her body once more. Feeling that she calmed down a little bit, one of the vines cautiously began to rub gently against her fillyhood; curious, but careful not to suddenly start everything up just yet. The voice asking in a calming tone, “mmm… a-are we ready to begin again dearie?” Her eyes peeked open to tiny slits as she gave a nod of her head. Unsure if Carrous could actually see that or not, but let her eyes close again right after. The vines in the most sensitive areas finally joined in, starting to rub her folds properly, and focusing on her small little love button that had been peeking out. “Hehe, wonderful!” Carrous giggled in delight now that that incident seemed over and the fun was beginning again. “Now… just relax.” Carefully the vine in her fillyhood started to wiggle around a little more as it continued even deeper, spreading her virgin tunnel open for the first time. Each touch, rub and flick was making the filly start to twitch in pleasure almost immediately. It definitely knew how to pleasure a mare. Oh how she relaxed into the vines embrace, letting herself slip into the pleasure, with her will to fight all but smothered out. She made cute squeaks, adorable mews, and soft coos, all in the name of pleasure. Her wings gently extended out and became stiff. “Why was it happening?” she thought for a moment, but that question turned into something that entered and quickly left her mind as a passing concern. Not long into this though, something different was building in her squirming loins; a growing pressure inside of her that just kept going up and up. Her eyes opened as she unsuccessfully tried to mumble and push the vine out of her mouth, urgently trying to say that she was going to pee; the closest thing she had to understand what was happening. The vines seemed to notice how the filly’s body convulsed every so often, and how her tight walls clamped down with growing frequency. It seemed to know exactly what was happening, and trying its hardest to get her there. The vine deep inside her kept traveling down until it gently hit up against the impossibly tight entrance to her womb. The vine was completely inside her, taking up every little space that her fillyhood had to offer. Carrous called out in delight, “Mmm… o-oh my… cum for me little one!” The young pegasus squirmed more and more as her body flexed midair, trying to stop herself from having an accident. But this felt different, very different, like her body was close to something amazing. Which Dawny, try as she might to force it off, began to cum for the very first time in her life. Her tight fillyhood clamping down like a vice onto the wiggling vine, her eyes going wide as she moaned heavily around the pacifier in her mouth. Even her heart felt like it skipped a beat from the intense new feelings. Carrous gave out a long, drawn out moan, sending a bunch of vibrations down each of the vines, “O-oh yes! Mmm~” It relished in the wetness and the strong squeezing, never experiencing something so tight before. The vines didn’t stop there, continuing to pleasure her right through, prolonging and heightening the sensations as she came. Her eyes watered slightly and shut as her body slowly relaxed from her first climax; even her wings drooped down against her sides. Though, she couldn’t stop moaning at all until the vines eventually started to slow down. She earned a small break. The vine in her mouth gently pulled out and rested against her cheek, petting her with its gooey touch. “Mmm… y-you… oh you did so good little one… mmm…” Carrous sounded almost as satisfied as she was. The filly hung her head tiredly as the slippery goo mix just drooled from her small snout and onto the floor. That climax did zap most of her energy, but she was still fighting for consciousness. Her maidenhood remained filled with the vine resting inside of her. Her walls naturally trying to coax the vine into give her the seed of life, even as she was slipping off to sleep. The warm vines just held her there in their comforting embrace, rubbing and massaging her fur. The one vine tapped a little on her cheek as it petted her. “Dawny… Dawny? Are you falling asleep on me?” She opened her eyes for a moment, hearing herself get called out like that. “Wah-Wah? N-no!” She sleepily called out, shaking her head. She forced her eyes to stay open as she dripped all over. “Ah, good. Wouldn’t want you to stop just after that one spectacular orgasm, hehe,” Carrous said happily yet expectantly, almost like it was promising more to come. One of the vines that was dripping wet in a mixture her own juices and plant sap moved from her slit and held itself just in front of her lips. It looked almost the same except with a different looking liquid on it, and it didn’t have that musky scent but rather a sweeter scent mixed in. “Here… go ahead and try this one.” She lightly opened her mouth and accepted the vine. Her inexperienced lips just suckled down the familiar gooey taste as well as something that tasted nice and new, yet strangely familiar. “Mmm… how do you like, well… hehe… your goo?” it said in amusement, sounding like it just loved being able to give out her very first orgasm. It might even make one want to do it a few more times. She nodded a little bit while gulping down the… wait… “?!!?” Her eyes widened as she finally realized what the creature said, trying to stop drinking her own delicious taste. “Oh… don’t feel so bad… I know you like it” the creature teased, as the vine playfully wrestled with her tongue. Dawny made a disapproving whine, but reluctantly went back to slurping her own taste down. The idea of it sounded bad, but she couldn’t completely say Carrous’s statement was untrue. “Now… time for round two?” it said in an almost mischievous tone as the cum-soaked vine popped out of her mouth and headed back down below. Rubbing began once more on her sensitive little love button, and a gentle teasing happening on her folds. Dawny murmured a small request that’s too soft to be heard, a moan soon overtaking her again that echoed in the cavernous space. “Mmm… excellent. Now for something a little… different,” it said in its sly tone, as the vine on her cheek was slowly made its way to her mouth once more. At the same time, the one vine deep inside her love tunnel slowly started to pull out. It made the filly squirm again. Just as she was beginning to get accustomed intrusion inside of her, it started to leave her insides, almost making her feel a little empty for a short moment. She made a nervous gulp as she asked again. “C-can you lower me down and umm… wrap m-me…” She shook her head a little when she felt a pesky vine move, and butted the vine away from her mouth with her head before continuing, “I-in… more vines? L-like a… a hug?” “Oh but of course dearie, anything for you,” it said happily as it began manipulating her in the air. It brought her down till she was only a few inches off the ground, and it actually turned her around until she was looking right up at the ceiling. More of the slimy, warm vines came over and started to wrap all around her body, coil around her legs; it was hard to even move her wings. With vines slowly going behind her head and holding it up, it was making it feel like some bizarre sort of bed. Dawny wiggled and jiggled to try and get comfortable while they were wrapping her. She even let out a satisfied “Ah~” as the vines gently constricted her. It almost felt like a full body hug if she closed her eyes. As an afterthought she smiled a little, knowing that her face was generally left untouched. “Th-thanks… Carrous… I-I feel… better.” The nervous jitter in her voice was still there, but she spoke clearer now. “You’re welcome my little filly,” it called out sweetly as the vines wrapped around her right foreleg and started to move the hoof downwards, right between her legs. The vine that had almost left her fillyhood pushed forward to start its journey back in, but faster this time. The filly blushed even more, remembering something her mom said once about her dad. “C-could you…” she started while trying to extend her wings, but having little success. “L-like massage m-my wings? My mama said wing massages are umm... r-really g-g-goood~” she squeaked out as her head jerked forward, the vine hilting into her once more and a shaky moan coming forth. “Wing massages? Hmm, that’s new… maybe… if you’re a good little filly,” it said teasingly, leaving her wings alone for now. But the vine inside her wasn’t stopped by idle chit-chat and started to slide out again, only to pump inwards once more. Dawny continued to gasp as the air came rushing out of her lungs every time it hilted into her. Then out came a long moan as her fillyhood hugged the intruder as much as the vines warmly hugged her. She briefly wondered between hilts why Carrous moved her hoof down. The vines kept up their pumping motions, thrusting quicker into the filly with every stroke. “Mmm… o-oh yes… m-much better…” it called out in similar passion. Vines made their way off of her pink pearl, only to be replaced by her own hoof. Dawny soon realized why Carrous brought her hoof as they guided it into making circling motions on that sensitive dot. The once soft coated filly was now drenched in goo, her sleepy mind gave way into just agreeing with what she was made to feel, was right, and good. She moaned like a little whorse the more she was taken. The hoof slowly began to move on its own without the vine’s assistance, rubbing her love button in jerky motions as another tense feeling in her gut was beginning to stir; and from last time, she knew she was going to feel amazing once more, very soon. The vines started to shake a little too, squeezing her entire body like a wave from head to hoof every so often. Moans escaped the mass of vines, sounding louder and stronger as time went on. The one vine on her mouth pressed against her lips once more, wanting to come inside. Another vine on the opposite end, moved right below her charcoal grey tail and onto that second hole. It gently circled at the very center before pushing its bulbous tip inside. The cloudy grey filly was too focused, and too lubed up to effectively resist the probe on her backside; still she weakly tried to squeeze it out. However, the vine in her mouth she easily accepted and began hungrily sucking the goo from the source. Her body’s spasms began to slow into tiny jerks as her orgasm was once more on the tipping point. But, she was holding out as best as she could to enjoy the pleasure filled trip there. Her body arching whenever the vines squeezed her body, followed by a throaty moan, feeling that heavenly warmth inside and outside her body. The vines continued their unrelenting assault, shaking and squeezing with growing frequency. Swiftly the vine in her mouth descended down. The one in her butt pushed into the untouched tunnel, smearing its goo everywhere as its long length slid in fast. The vines felt a little less gentle, feeling more as if they were doing something for themselves right now. It was too much for her as she blasted off the edge. “AhhAHHH~” she screamed out into the muffling vine, as she pressed down on her clit, her body rocketing off with another powerful orgasm that, to her surprise was even stronger than the first one. The filly began squirting out a tiny mist onto the member taking her. All she could focus on was the powerful pleasure riding her nerves as she sung out in glee in a chorus of moans. The mass tried to speak through its own moans, “Mmm… g-good… oh… f-fill~ oh… oh… mmm~!” but focused on its actions and pleasures, it could barely speak. The vines rode her through her orgasm once more, but they didn’t stop, or even slowdown in the slightest. They just kept going. The one in her rear going deep inside, deeper than any stallion could ever even hope of achieving, pulling out only to do it all over again. The other in her mouth went down her throat making it hard to breathe. They were completely taking her everywhere now, full bore. Her orgasm peaked, achieving heights she never dreamed before. But, all good things come to an end; sadly this one came abruptly when the vine ran down her throat and snapped her out of her delirious standing of pleasure. But she couldn’t make her exhausted body obey to try and pull it out. With a heavy heart she tried her best to bite it, but it didn’t even phase the slippery appendage. The moans of the creature echoed through the room, matching the heavy shaking that constantly came from the vines. All three somehow were still speeding up, until they started to vibrate heavily. The vines around her constricted her tightly as they started to grow and expand in size. All of them did. The thrusting abruptly stopped as they pushed into the deepest parts of her. And they grew, stretching her out until they reached about twice their original size. Hot, sticky goo exploded out in a torrent, blowing the vine in her fillyhood completely out. The one in her rear filled up the space almost completely as the vine started to rocket out, but stopped with just the tip still in. Finally, her belly felt the same treatment as the warmth quickly filled her stomach to the brim. The vines all around experience the same reaction, raining buckets that landed all over the room, but mostly on the one they held. The vines started to lose their size almost immediately, shrinking till they were much smaller than they were originally. They looked almost like wet noodles, growing weaker until they dropped Dawny to the ground with a thud. Immediately she began coughing up what she could of the sludge in her throat that was making it hard to breathe. Inside she couldn’t even describe how conflicted she felt. She on one hoof wanted to ball her eyes out, and curl up while wishing her mommy was here. On the other hoof, now that she could think she was disgusted with everything in and on her that came from this new application of goo. She did a mix of the two by curling up and trying to brush it off of her, and by trying to squeeze what she could from her used tunnels, all while sniffling out. The wet goop came off in globs, but there was no way to get rid of the deep dampness and glazing that covered her entire body. Slowly little rivers dripped out from her privates as she pushed out a mix of goo and her own fluids. The vines in the room were all lying around almost lifelessly, looking more like actual vines now. It would have been eerily quiet in there if it wasn’t for the mass on the side, sounding, oddly enough, as if it was panting really hard, almost hyperventilating. Getting her bearings a bit more as the adrenaline spiked through her, she grabbed the vine still lodged in her throat and pulled it back out from her mouth with her two hooves. It felt like it was taking every ounce of energy she had just to try and sit up, energy she didn’t even know she had. But once up, she yanked the one from her butt, and a small flow of goo joined the vaginal stream and dripped onto the floor. The pegasus stood up and stumbled forward three steps before falling flat on her face and slumping in her defeated pose. Her body began to give out to the calling of dream land. “…I…I…….wanna… g-go… h-home now…” Her eyelids dropped like and iron curtain, barely breathing as she laid there. Her hind hooves twitched, even though her body gave into the exhaustion and overwhelming use it was put through today. She wouldn’t be waking up again anytime soon. The mass seemed unresponsive for the longest time too, but finally after a few minutes later it seemed to return to its normal, non-breathing sounds. Slowly the vines started to twitch back to life, and started to move around like in a drunken stupor at first. But their size and dexterity soon returned. “Aww… my little filly’s exhausted… here… let’s get you cleaned up missy,” it said in a caring tone as the vines started to gently wrap around her sleeping from. She curled into a ball as she peacefully slept, being carried away down into the earth through one of the side tunnels. Slowly she flied along in the vines’ gentle grip until they reached a small pool and carefully placed her sleeping form in the middle of the heated water. It must have been a natural hot springs with the warmth that came from it. As soon as her coat touched the water, the goo started to fall right off, sinking down into the dark-blue depths of the pool. The plants sap seemed to lose it stickiness and get heavier the moment it came in contact with the water. The vines scooped up water and gently massaged it into her body, trying carefully not to wake her. With even more tenderness, they tried to get the majority of the mess out from her love stricken passageways. There was still little, hard to get pieces deep in her that it didn’t even bother with, but the outside of her coat was getting perfectly clean; not a speck of goo could be found. The cute little ball of cute enjoyed the bath subconsciously, letting out a few tiny whispers of contentment as they tended to her. Besides that, she remained practically dead to the world. Soon enough the filly was pulled from the water after the vines finished their deep cleaning. After carrying her back through the tunnels and into the main room, Carrous whispered out sweetly, “Come again soon sweetie, hehe.” Back into the dark she went, going through another tunnel until the fading light of day illuminated her world once more. The vines carefully placed her in a small bundle of leaves at the outside of the cave, leaving her like she hadn’t even been touched at all. Surprisingly the sun was still a few inches above the horizon, drying her wet fur into the softness Dawny once had. The warm sun’s light brought a smile to her face, for now she could sleep. > Chapter 2 – Aftermath > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawny Soft woke up with a gasp as she rolled onto her stomach and looked around in a panic for the monster. Her heart raced as she realized that what had happened, happened. The only thing that could have been possibly worse than that was that she was out in the middle of the Everfree at three in the morning in the pitch dark of night. If she hadn’t been so choked up on fear, the filly might have screamed and let all the hungry animals know where she was. The vines around the cave seemed to have disappeared, though they did have a way of blending into the darkness, so she couldn’t tell for sure if they were truly gone. She scampered into the cave entrance and sat down panting, trying to shove what Carrous did to her out of her mind and focus on the now. She steadied her breathing and begun to flex her wings. Though after that rest, she could barely even feel any soreness in them. “I… just gotta… fl-fly above the trees. Th-then go home. Yea…. then n-never come back…” she said to herself as she tried to swallow down some of the nerves that still shook her. She felt herself all over for the slickness that coated her fur, but it was normal, not having any slickness to it at all and instead, only the nice softness of her regular fur. She didn’t know how that happened, but she wasn’t about to complain. A little speck of moon appeared through the cloud cover, barely lighting anything up. The nice, quiet sounds of the night were quickly interrupted by a loud squawking from something far in the distance. She felt alone right now, but that sudden noise sent a shiver down her spine. She had two options: first, to wet herself. Or option number two, beat her wings like a bat straight out of Tartarus and fly higher than she ever has before; to soar home. She glanced back into the darkness of the cave, seeing that faint twinkle down in the distance. Or, option C, wait it out with her ‘friend’ till morning. That wasn’t happening. She missed her mom, and knew that her mom must be worried sick about where she was. She took a deep breath and leapt out of the cave into a running start, spreading her wings open to glide on the air, and then started to furiously flap them. She could barely make out the canopy as she started to fly up and into the dark skies. Soon enough the trees looked a lot smaller down below. Even looking back now, the cave had slowly vanished from view, finally leaving those strange vines behind. But there was another sound in the air, the sounds of wings that weren’t hers. “AHH?!” she squeaked out in a panic as four black shapes quickly flew by, squawking out in surprise. The inexperienced flyer tumbled forward in the air as she tried to regain control, but began to drop. She beat her wings hard to turn herself around, but before she knew it she crashed right into something soft and fluffy; a cloud. She giggled softly on her back, spreading her hooves out and panting hard from using all of that stamina to flutter up here so intensely. Usually her mama would bring her here, since clouds were normally so high up. But this one seemed to be lower to the ground than normal. Things were quite unnatural in these forests. She could hear the sounds of four crows squawking and flying away, right up until they landed and resumed their slumber that they were disturbed from. She had gotten past another foe of the forest. Rolling over and taking a look off the edge didn’t help her, from this high up the features of the terrain below were covered in an inky blackness. She felt a little lost when she got to the cave. Now, she wasn’t sure where home was exactly. And to make it even worse, her wings were starting to feel sore again after straining them in the panic. But that wasn’t going to stop her. After taking a long break, a wonderful idea popped into her head. The cloud seemed small and light enough that it just might work. Sitting on the cloud like she was on a small little boat, she beat her wings curiously and the whole cloud moved forward. She smiled and clapped her hooves a little, knowing that it could work. She’d just row herself back in the direction she thought was homeward. The cloud did seem quite flimsy as she rowed along, small pieces coming loose and trying to float off from the unnatural movement. It probably would have broken apart if she wasn’t tending to it and grabbing the pieces that fell from it. Who knew cloud boating was so hard? But the goddesses must have been smiling down on her as small specks of light shimmered in the distance, looking like a small town. Maybe she was headed in the right direction after all. With a smile on her face she pushed herself and the cloud even more from the anticipation of making it home. She got closer to the lights and could finally recognize this as her little town. Small flickers of light came from torches that lined various street lamps and houses. These quaint little houses never looked so good right now. Dawny gave a small sniff and rubbed an eye with a hoof; happy to finally be home. Swiftly she spread her wings and pushed off from the remnants of that cloud. Even at this high elevation, gliding was easy enough to handle on her own, all the way down till her hooves landed on solid, safe ground once more; right next to the dimly lit porch of her home. The town seemed quiet, like everything would be in the middle of the night. Almost too quiet though. Everyone around town and even in her own home sounded fast asleep; contrary to what one would think would happen if a child was missing. Though, she didn’t dwell on that for long as she reached for a hidden key under a porch gnome’s hat. With a quick click of the lock, she swung the door open fast as she rushed inside. “M-MOMMA!” The house stayed silent for a bit longer. But soon enough, she could hear her mom slowly getting up from her upstairs bed room. Dawny couldn’t wait as she rushed over and up the stairs to meet her. “Oh, hey there sweetie… what are you doing home? I thought you went over to a friend’s” the pegasus mare said as she rubbed her eyes tiredly, giving out yawn, but stopping in a short grunt as the filly hugging tackled into her. Dawny couldn’t help but weep out happily, “Mom! I’m home! I... I was taken!” She said as she hugged onto her mom tightly, feeling better now that her mother’s protective presence was here. The mare was still sleepy, but shook her head in a little bit of a panic, wondering if what she heard was actually true. Her hoof went around Dawny’s soft little mane and hugged her back. “W-what are you taking about? Y-you were taken? What? By… by who?” she said with wide eyes, trying to understand the situation. Dawny buried her little head into her mother’s coat. “S-Some filly… she’s a thing, a-and… and she violated m-m-me,” she whimpered out softly, eyes welling up from the memory. “B-but… I f-felt… good…” she said sounding almost conflicted at that part. The mother’s eyes opened wide and her mouth hung open. Who could do something to her poor little girl? “W-what do you mean… v-violated? A-are you ok?” She kept hugging her small filly’s form, shaking a little and getting a little teary eyed herself. Dawny didn’t respond as her mother kept whispering out softly, “Shhh… shh… it’s ok… you’re safe now… I’m here.” The two just embraced there in the hallway for what felt like the longest time, her mother trying to comfort her sweet filly as much as she could. With her teary eyes, Dawny looked up to her mother, “Can I sleep with you tonight mama? I-I’ll… tell you in the morning…” Her mother clearly wanted to know what happened, but the thought of prying and making her filly get any more upset stayed her questions for now. “S-sure… yes… let, let’s um… get you to bed.” Their embrace lasted a while longer before the mare gave out a forced smile and led Dawny to her lonely bed; the father wasn’t around here anymore. In bed, Dawny stayed as close to her mother as she could, lightly sniffling out, “T-thanks mama…” She nuzzled into her mother’s warm fur, feeling so nice to be held like this again as her mother gently stroked the back of her mane. But she couldn’t help but think of that warm embrace the vines gave from before. A feeling that made her hurt, knowing that a small part of her missed that warm embrace from them. “Anything for you my little Dawny,” her mother softly cooed, resting her chin on the top of her filly’s head, staring out at the wall ahead of her. It would be a long night for her. She didn’t feel like sleeping, not now, she couldn’t with the thought of what happened to her little filly running through her mind over and over again. She was glad her little Dawny was home safe, but how could she have thought that she was just out with friends when she didn’t come home? How irresponsible. The next morning, Dawny yawned cutely as she rolled onto her back with her wings unfurling into a long stretch. “Mmm~” she moaned out a little bit as she slowly sat up rubbing her one eye. Surprisingly, she was out like a light for the entire night. She didn’t remember what she dreamed about exactly, but she could recall a tingling and slow relief. Her eyes opened quickly. She could feel a familiar dampness between her legs. Her heart dropped for a moment as she squeaked out loud, looking around for two horrifying seconds, thinking she was stuck back in the cave. “M-Mom!” She squeaked out again, seeing her safety net right beside her. “I’m here! Don’t worry,” her mother said with a smile and a small yawn as she hugged her filly back tightly. She had just spent the last night staring at her. Not able to get a wink of sleep, just having terrifying images fly through her mind. “I hope you’re alight,” she said, trying to sound like she wasn’t going to break down in tears. “I’m so happy to see you mama!” Dawny called out, letting out a shuddering sigh of relief. Slowly she climbed into her mother hooves like she had when she was a young foal. “I am too baby,” her mother said as she pet her little girl some more. “Now… um… are you ok telling me what happened?” she tentatively asked, not wanting to hurt her filly more by remembering something bad, but she needed to know. Dawny sat up onto her mother’s chest and pressed tightly against her. “I…” she started, her head drifting downwards. “I… was used b-by some… creature… in the Everfree. S-she used me like s-some dirty pony.” Her mother’s worst fears were starting to be confirmed as she grimaced. “N-no no baby! Y-you’re not a dirty pony. Y-you… didn’t have a choice… y-you… you were brave for getting out of there!” “I love you,” Dawny murmured out, a small smile coming back to her for a slight moment as she hugged onto her mother’s neck. She shifted her hips around against her mother’s chest absentmindedly. “I… I feel so bad… I-I enjoyed it… a-a lot,” she said in embarrassment, hoping that in the hug, her mother couldn’t see the blush on her face. Surprise pierced the mother’s face hearing that; though she did take the tiniest bit of solace knowing that it could have been a lot worse. “O-oh? Y-you did? Umm… w-well… don’t be looking for those feelings, especially out in the forest. W-why did you even go out there?” Dawny sat quietly, pausing for quite a little bit as she thought and remembered as best as she could. “…I… was following a filly’s voice… she needed my help mama. But, it was in some creepy cave. I-I… went in, and these… vines… led me to her chamber. S-she… v-violate me with t-those vines. M-made my fillyhood hurt a lot. Then made me drinking all of her goo, and use all my umm… h-holes…” A small trail of tears went down her cheeks. “T-then she bathed me in all that goo at once… t-then… she left me at the entrance of the cave…” Her mother stayed silent during the tale, but slowly her eyes lit up more and more as she held her daughter into her neck and silently lipped the word, “Carrous…” She petted her mane a little harder, “It’s ok, you’re safe here and it won’t hurt you again. Y-you… you should have known better than to check out a cave in the Everfree,” she said nervously, knowing exactly what probably happened. Of all places Dawny could have gone, she went there. “I… I know…” Dawny said for a moment, before making a weird face at the shift in her mother’s voice. She sat up a little to look at her mother, “Wh-why do you sound so… nervous?” There was still a bit of surprise on her mother’s face getting called out like that, but she shook her head. “B-because… there are things out there that would do this to my little filly… violate her and make her feel just awful.” Dawny looked down for a moment, giving out a long sigh. “I don’t think I like Ponyville anymore…” The mare tried to smile a little bit, trying to be reassuring, “Ponyville is a nice place. But wandering out into the Everfree isn’t. So, as long as you never ever, ever go into that place again, you will be fine, ok?” She really didn’t want to move away from here after finally getting settled down and rebuilding their life again. And a small bit of her wanted to stay for the exact same reason her daughter wanted to leave. “uh-huh” Dawny let out with a sigh, while just deeply enjoying the warmth, and the rise and fall of her mother’s chest. “I still can’t get it out of my mind… w-what she made me feel.” She hugged her mother a little bit more as her eyes softly closed. “And the warmth… b-but… I know it will go way by the time I’m in school tomorrow. R-right?” “R-right,” her mother said as she softly kept petting her. “It’s ok. You don’t need to feel that stuff anymore.” The feelings her daughter talked about she only knew too well, the lovely warmth of those nice playthings. She shook her head a little; it wasn’t the time to be thinking of that. The mare smiled a little bit; at least she knew that the creature could be gentle when it needed to be. Not something that should have happened, especially for her first time, but was certainly better than the terrifying things she had been picturing all night while her daughter slept. “Now… let’s go get you something to eat,” her mother said as she started to stir. Dawny’s ears perked up with the mention of food. Realizing how hungry she actually was, a true smile started coming to her face as she rubbed noses with her mother. “Yay!” she squeaked as she quickly jumped up and fluttered down off the bed before galloping off to the kitchen. Her mother shook her head with a smile on her face as she got up. Glancing downwards though, she did notice a small wet spot on her chest. It must have been snot or something from when her filly was on the verge of crying. Right? “Silly filly…. Ugh…” she said with a roll of her eyes as she grabbed and tissue and wiped the dampness off. Soon enough her mother was down in the kitchen, grabbing ingredients, mixing them together and tossing them in the pan. Dawny’s face lit up brightly seeing her favorite blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes being made. The mare smiled back, loving that her daughter was a lot more chipper and how her mood changed so easily; this might be easier to deal with than she thought. With a flip of the spatula, pancakes were sent flying onto two plates. “Thank you mom! I love your pancakes!” Dawny squeaked out and reflexively grabbed for the syrup that she’d normally use to drench her meal in sticky, syrupy goodness. Though she squirmed a bit and pulled her hoof back, blushing a little from the similarity of other sticky things. For the first time, she’d just settle for eating the pancakes plain. Her mother sat down and spread some syrup all over her pancakes like normal. “Hehe, I know you love them. That’s why I made them. Just for you.” Though she did catch her daughter’s bare pancakes, and could definitely understand the apprehension. The amount of liquids cave creature produced was going towards the ridiculous side. Good thing it was easy to clean. “S-so… having a good time at um… school?” “Y-yea... it’s ok compared to Cloudsdale’s school,” she said, slowly eating her plain tasting pancakes. “The school kids are a whole lot nicer though!” “The folks around here do seem a lot nicer. They feel just generally more relaxed and less stressed out than in other places. It’s nice,” her mother said calmly, wondering why that might have been. But then again, half the mares in town did have a… creative… way to relax. “It’s kind of cool that we have a princess in town too!” Dawny beamed, drinking her orange juice. Her mother nodded, finishing off her last pancake. “That was quite a shocker when that fiasco all happened. But, having royalty here in this quaint little town. That’s neat.” She even heard rumors about the princess wanting to turn the area near the cave into a sanctuary, or some kind of park ‘for the environment’… right… The filly sat there on the chair looking at the last half of pancake that she just couldn’t finish. “C-could I just umm… not go to school tomorrow? I... don’t really want to go…” Her mother shifted her head at that request, normally that would have been a no, but considering the circumstances. “Well, you’ve been though a lot, so you just take as much time as you need.” “Thanks mom!” Dawny said as she hopped of the chair and gave her mother a big hug. “I… I think I’m just going to go to my room and play now though.” “Alright, have fun,” her mother smiled a little, as Dawny left to go play. By the looks of her daughter’s chipper demeanor the vines didn’t seem to have taken too much of a toll on her. As she was getting the dishes cleaned, and moved onto other housework, a small, dirty thought entered her mind, thinking of when her schedule was free next to go for a long walk to a certain place. Dawny sat in her room for a long while, watching the ceiling, looking at books on her shelf, anything to occupy her time and get her mind off that thing. Peering out the window and watching the pony folk outside was nice too, seeing the hustle and bustle of a town going through its day. Through from this angle she could see the edge of the Everfree and the path that led into it. She paid it no mind, until she started to see two mares, Rose and Lily, coming back into town from that path. The grins on their faces were telling. “Ugh...” she sighed and pulled the shade down the moment she realized. “Mom?” she called out as she left her room, trotting around the house to go find her. It was quick to find her in the kitchen, wiping down some counters by hoof, her ears popping up when her filly came in. “Mom, can we go… umm… mini golfing? Or something fun?” “Mini golfing?” her mother asked, pausing to think then nodded along. “Ah, yes! We could… that sounds like a great idea.” A mother-daughter day out would probably help lift both of their spirits right now, something they needed. “I’ll… just go grab my things and then we can go to that one mini-golf course place they have here.” “Yay!” Dawny squeaked, zipping around in the air around her mother before landing by the front door, eager to leave. “I… just think getting out and having fun will… get my mind off Carrous…” Getting her saddlebacks on quickly, the mare stopped in her tracks on the way to the door, cheeks blushing red as she heard that name, removing any doubt. Dawny couldn’t see her, but that name triggered a whole host of previous ‘experiences’ with the creature that made her hindquarters almost automatically tingle in delight. The mare shook that thought from her mind, and continued on into view to meet her daughter at the door. “Y-yea… that would be best… and um, C-Carrous? Did you say? W-was that its name?” she said tensely, trying to sound like she didn’t already know that. Dawny looked at her mother a little oddly for just a moment before nodding again. “Yea, that’s what she said her name was…” She said as she went outside, trotting in the sweet fall air where Celestia’s warm radiance fell upon them. “She was… well… really nice with her words… but not actions…” The filly continued, lowering her head a little. “Well… she um… she didn’t do right to you. But, you’re out of it now, so you don’t need to think about it anymore. She can’t do that again. Ever,” she tried to say with her motherly words of protection as they walked along in the direction to the course. Though, the mare couldn’t help but think, ‘she?’; always seemed to be more of a he to her for obvious reasons. Dawny held her mother’s hoof. Those words bringing solace to her. “Thanks mom. You know just the right things to say,” she said with a small, loving nuzzle on her guardian’s hoof, finally feeling like some of the terror was beginning to fade. Dawny slipped into her bed after and exciting day out with her mama. Though, tonight she left the nightlight on. The cute little filly snuggled under her warm blankets, and looked up dearly at her mama tucking her in for the night. “I had a great day with you mom. You’re the best!” “You too my sweet.” The pegasus mare smiled, liking that this day went by much easier than she was thinking; especially since how her daughter rushed in on that frightful night. But her smile slowly faded a bit as she knew there was something else she had to do as a mother. “S-so… umm… about those feeling you had… specifically down there in your umm… private places,” she said awkwardly, pointing in the direction with her hoof. Blink. Blink. Dawny’s oh-so-soft cheeks flushed a hue of red, and her hooves grabbed on to the blanket in embarrassment and surprise. “I-I um… f-felt… well… g-good things… d-down there,” she stuttered, gulping a little before her face slipped under the covers to hide her burning face. Her eyes peaked out just a little bit. “…a-and there was a lot of pain.” Her mother sighed and sat down on the bed right beside her filly, with her legs still hanging off a little. “Well… that can happen sometimes. The pain you felt… that… that can happen if ponies aren’t… careful and delicate. You probably had a small piece inside you tear. That’s called your hymen… also being scared or nervous doesn’t help either. Though, the um… g-good things you felt were natural. You feel like that when your um... ahem… privates are stimulated.” “…but… you told me sex was for dirty ponies?” Dawny commented on, remembering the delightful lesson she learned after getting caught looking at an adult ‘picture book’ as a child. “Is it... o-ok that I enjoyed that?” Her mother made and awkward smile remember that specific conversation Dawny was talking about. “I… I did say those things. Not to call you a dirty pony if you ever did it, but… just so that you didn’t think about doing it till you were ready… and not all the time if you ever started. But, you were kind of forced to start, so you definitely are not a dirty pony.” Dawny slowly lowered the blanket down, showing her soft, cloudy grey face, and gave her mom a light hug. “…ok… thank you for telling me. I… feel better, and umm… ready to move on from what happened.” “I love you too sweetie. And you can come to me if you have any questions, and I will answer them truthfully for you,” she said with a small reluctant sigh, knowing her daughter was growing older before her eyes. There was also one more part that she wasn’t too ecstatic about explaining, something everypony with a hoof would learn eventually. “A-also… one more thing… have you been getting any, like, tingly feelings down there. Where you feel like you might have to do something about it?” Dawny looked to her mother and sort of nodded. “Yea… whenever I think of the warmth… and, OH!” She exclaimed as a question came to her mind right there. “What… what was all that gooey stuff she put in my mouth, b-bum… and vagina... mommy?” the filly asked curiously, using one of the proper terms she learned. The mare’s cheeks flushed red at the thought of that delicious tasting nectar. “I uh… uh… hmm… w-well… I’m not sure what came out of the thing, but from what I can uh… guess… it uh… it is something called cum. It comes out of males, or the creature thing I guess, when they orgasm.” Dawny tilted her head a little at the odd sounding words she heard before in that cave. “B-but it… sounded like a filly… are you sure it’s a stallion… vine… pony?” the tiny pegasus asked, not being able to draw the comparison. “I… I haven’t met it, so I wouldn’t know what gender it was sweetie,” her mother blatantly lied. “Though it doesn’t sound like a pony at all, so things could be different for it I guess.” Dawny nodded along, and licked at her lips a little bit. “Well it um, kinda tasted ok… comforting… and warm in my vagina,” she said with the faintest hint of a grin, before her face turned a little sour, “b-but it was super gross when it went everywhere!” Her mother’s eyebrow lifted a bit as she heard that, pausing a little bit as she unavoidably pictured it. “Well that stuff, can feel warm and comforting, it can even be something that mares instinctively want every so often. But that leads to foals if you do it with another pony, and you don’t want that yet. Don’t worry though; you won’t be getting foals from the creature… it isn’t a pony… from what I heard.” The filly nodded along, but was still kind of lost in her own thoughts. “I guess the only other thing besides the warmth was umm… that I enjoyed being… well full.” Her voice slowly trailed off as she looked down at her fillyhood, or where it should have been under the covers. The mom drifted off in thought as she softly said, “Yea… it is nice being full.” Her face turned a small blush after realizing what she said. “Maybe she just needs a friend,” Dawny continued suddenly, like she had been thinking about it for a while. “…or umm… somepony to explain to her how friendship works, because she… she was nice,” she said with a sigh, not even knowing how to imagine dealing with something like this. ”I don’t know… maybe you should tell the princess so other fillies don’t get hurt... like me…” “Yea… I’m going to go tell the princess tomorrow,” her mother started to say, but Dawny blinked at her in confusion, processing something else. “We’ll go solve the problem so that no fillies will ever get hurt again.” Probably putting up a sign there or something sounds sufficient. “Wait, what did you mean?” Dawny said with a shake of her head, “…who um… filled you up that much? Daddy?” The mare’s cheeks flushed brightly at that. “Ah… umm… y-yes… y-your father… he um… he… just yes,” she said stammering out, thinking of the first thing to get the conversation away from her previous encounters. “Umm… what about… how much did you get um… filled up?” “It felt like a lot,” Dawny said with a shrug. “I felt my throat get filled with a vine, and then my stomach got really big. Like I was…” She leaned in to whisper the next word. “Preg… pregnant…” She took a small gulp, looking over at her window with the shade still pulled down and blushed a little. “And I-I don’t know . My bum got umm… full. A-and my vagina felt overfilled and… I think… stretched?” the filly continued with another small shrug, explaining the best she could. “That’s all I can remember before passing out mommy.” She looked back up with those red coloured cheeks as she made eye contact. Her mother wiggled on the bed a little. That wonderful description made her marehood tingle just slightly, remembering just how hot that finish was. “Y-yea… t-that’s… that’s something,” she said trying to look more surprised than… interested. “If… if it does shoot out that much, you would be feeling a little… stuffed… everywhere.” “Though… with your stomach you um… you don’t get pregnant that way. That happens in your vagina… just for clarification,” the pegasus mare commented, patting her filly a little before saying, “Y-you should be feeling back to normal soon.” Dawny lightly smiled once more hearing that. “May I come with you and the princess tomorrow? It’d be really cool to meet her… and um… maybe say sorry to Carrous… she… uh… was nice, but just doesn’t understand how to be friends. And she… hurt me badly. B-but I still would like to maybe tell her that I don’t want to be her friend now…” “Y-you want to go back to that creature that touched you like that?” the mare said looking surprised at the request, and a little worried for her own sake. “No, that cannot happen. I want you to stay right here in Ponyville to be safe. The princess will either handle it herself, or maybe take me along if that is absolutely required. But, I don’t think either of us would want you to be there with us while we go uh… handle it…” Dawny opened her mouth to quickly retort a whiny reply, but closed it instead, thinking about what her mommy said. It was difficult to argue, but she really wanted to go to apologize for not wanting to be her friend. “But, the princess can protect us! It’s not like we are going inside. She can hear my echoes from the entrance! I’ll just say what I have to say and leave with you,” Dawny said with a small smirk on her face, feeling smart, like an adult. This wasn’t something that was going to be negotiated. “You shouldn’t be going in the Everfree at all, even with me or the princess,” her mother said sternly, feeling it necessary to keep her filly safe… and keep everyponys’ more-or-less of a secret safe. “Besides, there is no way she’d allow you to come along. My answer is no, you are not coming with us.” The child’s ears folded down at the firmness and being outwitted by the adult. With a reluctant sigh, she nodded to her only parent. “…I… just don’t want you to get hurt too…” Her mother smiled a little, glad that her daughter finally understood her way. Slowly she leaned in and gave the top of her filly’s forehead a little kiss. “Don’t worry, we’ll be fine. This sounds like a cakewalk for the princess. But my main concern is you. And you being safe, here, is the only option.” Still the filly looked worried, something in her gut told her something was up, but she couldn’t tell at all what and could only trust that her mother knew best. With one more hug, she laid down and let out a content sigh. “Goodnight mom… and thanks for the talk,” she said honestly, felling like her old self was almost back. “You too my sweet, have a goodnight’s sleep,” her mother said as she walked out of the room and started to slowly close the door. But before it was entirely closed she turned around. “And remember, if you have any more questions, don’t be afraid to ask me.” With that, the door finally closed and the sweet calling of dreamland started to take the filly from this realm. The relaxing day helped a lot, and she felt like she could truly leave this all behind her. > Chapter 3 – Fallen Idols > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning was bright and sunny. Dawny slowly woke up from her dreams with the faintest hint of a grin on her face. The dreams were vague, but they still brought back those feelings from before; tingles and an underlying need for release. Her waking mind hadn’t thought all that creatively on it, but her subconscious seemed only too happy to explore the possibilities while she slept. She could feel the dampness between her legs and the cool moisture absorbed into the sheets below her rear. A frown started to come back to her face as she became more aware of it, but after a few moments she just tossed the blanket off of her with a small sigh and started her day. Her morning business wasn’t out of the ordinary; bushing her teeth and finally having a shower that she needed quite desperately now. But soon enough, she was downstairs and ready to report for breakfast. Oddly enough though, her mother wasn’t around to cook breakfast and it was getting way past the usual time. Dawny sat on the stool watching the clock slowly tick by, but as patient as she tried to be, her mother wasn’t coming downstairs. Her eyes widened a little when she thought about it, and a frown came to her face when she realized what happened. Her mother must have left for Twilight’s. “Darn it,” the ticked off filly complained to herself and scuffed the floor with a hoof before trotting off to the library. Hopefully in time to ask her mom for some food before they go and see Carrous. The hustle and bustle of ponies filled the streets in their morning activities. It wasn’t as busy as any of the Cloudsdale streets, or as fluffy, but there was a charm all on its own here. But the filly had no time to be distracted as she hurried over to the library that was built into a large oak near the center of town, and served as the alicorn’s home. Dawny opened the wooden door and walked inside the public library, taking a look at the vast amount of books all stacked around inside, but seeing no purple pony to accompany them. “Pr-Princess?” Twilight was casually reading a book on one of the tables in her upstairs study. Her ears flicked up, hearing the oh-so familiar sound of someone coming in and calling to her; maybe even to check out a book, hehe! Quickly, the lavender pony trotted down the stairs, with a nice smile on her face. “Hello? Oh! Why hello there… Dawny! What can I do for you today?” Dawny’s eyes fluttered at the thought of the princess knowing and actually caring enough to remember her name. That alone put the first smile of the day on her face. “H-hi Princess Twilight! Has my mom… umm… come to see you yet?” Twilight brought her hoof to her chin to think for a moment about the past few days, but shook her head. “No, I don’t think she has. Why? Did she have something to tell me?” Dawny’s eyes wandered around the room, looking at those new iSpy that were off to the side, until she quickly looked back as the alicorn stopped speaking. “Umm… well… sh-she was… going to talk to you about the plant thing… Carrous… s-she violated me… two nights ago…” she said somberly as her head and ears slowly started to droop down. Twilight’s ears popped up at the mention of the name, looking startled for a moment until her jaw dropped upon hearing the rest. “It what?!” she blurted out, staring at the filly intently before she started to pace. “Oh no… oh no…” The filly slightly nodded, her ears were folded flat against her head and both of her wings were hugging herself. “Sh-she… was going to come over and talk to you about putting a sign up... or… something…” Dawny said, pausing a little bit between her small sniffles. “…I want to come along, and apologize to Carrous. Tell her that I didn’t want to be her friend… b-but say that I’d help her make real friends… and not just victims…” The alicorn stopped to listen, watching the filly, but kept shaking her head until finally she put her hoof into the floor hard. “N-no… I… I don’t think you should come along… I umm… h-heard it… could be dangerous,” she said with a final shake of her head as she looked off, “No… this is something I’m going to have to do alone.” Dawny looked back up, and even though she was sad and insecure about what transpired, there was an annoyance growing in her eyes. “Dangerous? I was already violated,” she snapped back a little. “It can’t get any more dangerous when the danger already happened…” But her eyes slowly changed, giving her the best puppy dog eye look she could muster. “And… you’re an alicorn. You protect a whole town! B-b-but you can’t protect… j-just me? Even if I stay on your back?” “No. I don’t want to put you, or anypony else in that situation again.” Twilight stood firm, shaking her head once more. “And what if any other pony goes through the same situation? No. I’m doing what needs to be done, alone.” Her horn lit up and opened the front door, looking eager to leave, to do what should have done a long time ago, before anything like this should have happened. “Now come along and I’ll take you to your mother’s.” Dawny couldn’t help but grab that iSpy book she had been eyeing earlier, hugging it close to her body before she fluttered out and casually landed on the purple pony’s back. “How are you going to fix things?” she started, but the rumble of her tummy made itself known. “…wanna have breakfast with me and my mom first? PLEEEEEEAAASSSEEE,” se happily begged. “No,” twilight said simply as she quickly trotted along the road. She was a little hungry, but such pleasantries were out of the question right now. This was here, now, and she had to deal with it right away, even if a small part of her didn’t want to. And she knew many mares in town wouldn’t be too thrilled about it either, but sacrifices had to be made. They were the reason the tunnel was allowed to stay open in the first place, the Everfree forest should have been enough of a deterrent to keep curious ponies out. But obviously that had failed, and could fail again. “I… I’m going to make sure no pony ever enters that place again,” the alicorn continued with a grimace, knowing what she was giving up too. There wasn’t really anypony around in town for her in that way. “You… you have breakfast, and don’t worry Dawny. You won’t have to see that thing ever again.” “You’re the best Princess Twilight!” Dawny squeaked out, stealing a quick hug onto the princess’s mane as they got to the door. She was having an amazing day number two just from getting a piggy back ride from the princess. “Yea…” Twilight said meekly. She should have done better before that all happened. Dawny fluttered to the floor and opened up the door wide, almost like she was trying to invite someone inside. “Ok… now just stay here with you mom, ok?” Dawny softly nodded. “Thank you. From me and… other fillies.” Slowly she started to close the door, but looked at Twilight one last time, “Tell her I’m sorry for being a bad friend… and um… that I won’t see her again.” Twilight nodded. “I’ll tell… ‘her’?” she said, pausing in surprise with the filly’s choice of words. “Just… tell your mother I’m going to go deal with the problem.” She ruffled Dawny’s mane with a hoof a little as they said goodbye. Then the alicorn took flight with the skill that was just slightly above Dawny’s, and headed off in the exact direction of the cave. Dawny closed the door as Twilight disappeared from view, the smell of tasty waffles floating in the air from the kitchen. Quickly she ran with the book to the kitchen table, plopping down on the nearest chair and opening it excitedly; it was one of the new gold coloured editions. “I’m home mama!” The food looked like it had already been cooked for a few minutes and was sitting in a stack at the middle of the table. Dawny’s mother came rushing in right after and tightly hugged her filly. “Oh thank Celestia! I… I was worried that you weren’t here… I… don’t go off without telling me where you’re going first… please… I don’t want you to be hurt like last time.” She wiped her eyes after they started tearing up a little. “I made breakfast for you.” Dawny hugged her back sheepishly, “I’m sorry mama… I thought you left already…” “N-no… I slept in a little late,” her mother said, looking a little better than she did yesterday when only a few hours’ sleep had sustained her. “It’s ok you’re safe now,” she continued as she gave Dawny a little kiss on the forehead before fixing up two plates of waffles. “Where did you do anyways?” “I went to the princess’s home because I thought you were there… and I was hungry!” Dawny’s stomach even joined in to further her point before she happily moved her book aside and started to dig in. Her mother’s face turned a soft shade of red as she sat down, “A-ah… oh you did? Did… did you tell her anything?” she cautiously said with a worried smile on her face. If the princess heard about this in the wrong way, there was no telling what that silly mare would do. “I told her what you and her were planning to do. Remove Carrous.” Her mother’s eyes lit up in surprise. “You what?!” “Yea! But, uh… I asked her to be nice to Carrous cause… she isn’t… umm… I don’t think she’s entirely bad… just lonely…” Dawny said as she grabbed a large mouthful of waffles and shoved them in her mouth, mumbling through them “...and bad at social skills…” Her mother’s huffed out, trying to calm down. ”Ah… umm… w-well she will probably be able to handle it in her princess ways. She’ll probably know how to umm… be nicer to it and make sure it doesn’t touch another pony like you again.” She tried forcing a supportive smile, to look happy, but she couldn’t help that the news felt like a rainy cloud dampening her day. There goes that little bit of fun she had here. “Momma?” Dawny started to ask offhandedly, focusing between eating and finding some object in the open book beside her. “Why have you been so nervous whenever I umm… talk about Carrous?” “Carrous? T-That thing that… touched you? I… I really don’t like that you gave it a name now,” her mother said, trying to sound as ignorant as she could. “I just don’t like remembering something that did that to you… it makes me…” A little tingly every time the name was mentioned. “…worried…” Maybe talking about Carrous wasn’t good table discussion. “Sorry… she’s just been on my mind all day,” Dawny said as she finished devouring the last of the plain waffles, pushing the plate to the side to pull her book in closer. A worried expression came across her mother’s face just thinking about the ‘on her mind all day’ comment, but decided not to push, else she get and answer she might not really want to hear. It did feel uncomfortable talking to her little girl about this, but at the same time she felt closer when she was teaching her kid like all parents should try to do. “S-so… how’d you sleep?” she said, trying to push the conversation to something a little more casual and far away from sexual. Dawny blushed as soon as she was asked. “…umm… I-I… uhhh… think I… dreamt of you… or umm… Carrous… because I had a…” She slowly lifted the iSpy book in front of her shyly. “…we-wet dream… this morning…” Her mother almost choked on her food; so much for keeping it off the sexual path. “O…oh… y-you did… you um… h-had an…” She sighed a little as she spoke the next few words. “An… orgasm? While you slept?” Dawny slowly peeked just over the top of her book, hiding the spreading blush. “What’s an orgasm? Is that like um… when I exploded inside?” she guessed, remembering back to when she came hard those few times. Reluctantly, the now crimson faced mare nodded. “Y-yes… it’s… when you explode inside and get all those good feeling through you. Was… was that what happened while you slept?” “Yea…” Dawny said with a tiny nod as her eyes drifted back to the book in front of her. “Was it bad if you were in the dream too? Mama?” “Oh…” Her mother paused for a moment, taking in what her little filly had just said. “U-um… should I ask… what was I doing?” Dawny shrugged. “Moaning, and um… I think… licking me? It was kinda vague…”She sounded uncertain, not sure how to piece together the fragments in her head. The mares face turned an even darker shade of red at the very thought, her mind instantly going to lewd images of where her head should never, ever be. “L-licking you? Like… on your shoulder or something? R-right?” Dawny got a little bit closer to the book, trying to find the last item on a particularly hard page. “No, lower…” She mumbled a little. “L-lower?” her mother gulped, hesitantly continuing. “L-like… um… on your… private place?” “YES!” Dawny squeaked out gleefully upon finding the last piece in her book, earning a sharp wince from her mother in the process. “Huh?” Dawny asked as she finally looked up at her mother and flipped the page. “um… y-yea… there…” Her mother bit her lip a little, worried and not even sure how to handle something like that. Her daughter just said she was getting eaten out by her own mother of all ponies! “You know that I would never touch you there. Ever… Right?” “I know!” Dawny said with a smile and a light blush. “If you did, I know it would be only to teach me and stuff. Cause you’re my mom.” “R-right…” Her mother said, not particularly liking that answer but felt that the point had been understood well enough. Regardless, the waffles were done and this place did need some cleaning up, so she decided to start on that, disappointed that her plans in the forest next week were getting canceled right now. Dawny migrated to her room when her mother got to doing the regular chores around the house that needed to be done. Searching through the book only occupied her for so long though, and started to lose interest after about an hour, finally letting out a few yawns of boredom. The weekends were fine, but during the week, none of the ponies her age were available yet, not at least until school was over for the day. It didn’t help that she couldn’t tell if she wanted to go out and do something, or maybe just stay home and relax. Either way she didn’t want to do it alone. “Hey… mama?” Dawny called out as she searched the house, finding her mother up in the air cleaning the week old dust in the ceiling fan. “Mama, wanna go do something?” “Do something again? And have an awesome day like we did yesterday?” her mother said with a smile as she glided down onto the ground and put her duster onto a nearby counter. “Did you have anything in mind? Maybe go out flying?” Dawny shook her head, not really feeling that idea just at this moment. “Maybe we could take a bath together?” she said as she fluttered up with a bright smile on her face and softly laid down on her mother’s back, snuggling cutely into her mane. “We can act like we’re at the spa!” Her mother rolled her eyes at the adorable request. She hadn’t done something like that with her daughter since she was a little foal, but it did seem like a good way to relax and bond. “One trip to the spa it is then!” She smiled, heading to the upstairs bathroom, carefully holding her filly between her wings, even if she didn’t need help like that anymore. “Wub chu mommy!” Dawny squeaked out again as she got carried like royalty over to their makeshift luxury resort. The tub was filled to the perfect temperature, and Dawny cheered like the ecstatic little filly she was when asked if she wanted bubbles or not. The decision was obvious, and the tub turned into a pool of frothy white bubbles. Dawny floated down to the ground and gave a bow. “After you, princess,” she said as she smiled up at her with her perfectly white teeth. “Oh princess now? I didn’t know I was royalty,” her mother said with a little smirk as she started to get into the relaxing water. “You’re royal the way you treat me mom,” Dawny said with a bright smile as she slipped into the tub too. Almost instantly though, the filly scooted over to nuzzle into her mama’s chest and tried lathering it with the soapy bubbles. “I love you.” “I love you too Dawny,” her mother said, petting her little filly’s mane in kind. It did feel kind of cute being in here with her little girl, and the warmth of the bath was pretty comforting. Her mind drifted off for a moment about the other spa like pool in the middle of a cave, how warm and nice that was. Though it felt weird thinking about that now, and usually what happened in the cave stayed in the cave. But her daughter kept reminding her about it, whether the filly tried to or not. Dawny giggled as she gave her mother a royal bath, treating her nicely after all she’s done to protect her and make her happy; returning the favour in some way. “Hehe, Dawny you know you don’t need to clean me right?” her mother questioned, but still accepted the filly’s cute little demonstration. “But how can I repay you for making me happy again?” Dawny said as she massaged into one of her mother’s wings. The filly giggled a little more as she reached up with a bubbly hoof and booped her mother on the nose. “Turn around, and I’ll wash you mane!” Her mother smirked a little as she booped her daughter right back with a generous helping of bubbles and giggled as it sent the filly quickly clearing her face. Dawny expertly washed her mother’s mane when she finally spun around. Slowly she moved to the mare’s back, then her tail. “Do you want me to wash your flank too?” she asked with a soapy luffa in hoof. Her mother bit her lip for a second, but shook her head, knowing where that might lead to with her filly’s new found exposure to sex. “Hehe, no it’s fine darling,” she started to say as she turned back around, “Here, let’s get you washed up now.” Dawny nodded as her mother grabbed the luffa from her and started to scrub her down, rubbing along the filly’s back in circles before slowly moving to her wings. “So, whatcha plans mom?” she asked, looking over her shoulder, feeling her mother rub down into her wings, gently getting in between each feather like a pro. It felt heavenly. She did have plans, but now that was done for. She may have to go kindly ask Twilight a few things later on. “My plans?” her mother started to say. “Mmm~” Dawny softly moaned out from a pressure point being squeezed in just the right way, like what Carrous did when tightly hugging her. A small blush appeared on the filly’s face, “I-I’m… s-sorry for making that noise…” Her mother couldn’t help but blush too. “Um… the noise is fine… you just like it, it’s ok,” she said hesitantly, as her hooves moved to quickly scrub the rest of the filly’s body in spots that were a little less intimate. “Well my plans. I got to go back to work in a few days, and you got to go back to school. If you’re um… feeling ok with that.” “I think I… would like to spend tomorrow with you too… and um, then I’ll go back to school,” Dawny happily said as she dunked herself under the water for a moment to get the soap off, only to pop up and spurt water on her mom. “Ack, Dawny!” she coughed out, getting some of it in her mouth. Her hoof reached into a pile of bubbles and plopped it right onto the filly’s mischievous face. Dawny still smiled and grinned as she spat, shook and wiped off the suds until her eyes were free and clear. “But maybe we could go flying again today? Just you and me. I’d like to learn more!” “Alright, it’s a promise!” the pegasus mare said with a nod. “You’re doing better pretty much every time we go out and practice. Pretty soon you’ll have no problems flying at all, hehe!” Dawny sat up straight, a proud smile crossing her face. “I’m already getting better at flying. I even had to fly super creatively to get home from Carrous. I almost had to spend the night if I didn’t!” Her mother tried to look proud of her daughter too, thinking about the trip to and from there. “Oh… that would be uh… terrifying to stay there all night!” Honestly though, knowing the creature, it probably would have been a lot safer and more comfortable to just stay the night and come back in the morning instead of braving the Everfree at night. “How did you make it back so creatively then?” Dawny wiggled in excitement. “Well…” she said as she started to proudly recount her tail of bravery from the HUGE, vicious crows! “And then with all my might I soared up to a cloud that was super high in the air. My wings were sore, but I was able to just row the cloud back like a boat on a lake. Right up until I saw home then I easily glided all the way down and right onto our porch!” “Wow! That… that was awesome! I knew you could do something like that if you really needed to,” her mother said and was actually genuinely impressed. “But, night fling over Everfree is not to be taken lightly. Never do it unless absolutely necessary. But you’ll never be in there again so you should be fine.” “Uh-huh!” Dawny nodded in agreement as she pulled the plug from the tub as the two started to get out. “So… uhh… if I have dreams of you... o-or Carrous… or um… all three of us again… wha-what do I do?” she asked the one thing still left on her mind. “Well they are only dreams, right? You can’t really control them… but try not to dream of me ok, it’s… wrong,” her mother said as they started to dry themselves off with a towel. “Though if you do have dreams like that, I… I guess you could just try accepting it and enjoy what your mind conjures… it’s much better than having nightmares about it.” Dawny still had a soft smile on her face as she thought about it for a moment. “Enjoy them even if they are about you and me?” Her mother frowned a bit, “Um… n-not those ones. Just try and say no in your dreams about that. Family doesn’t think of each other that way.” Well mostly families. She couldn’t help but think of the Apples for some reason. “Alrighty mama! I’m 100% to soar on from what happened!” the proud filly said. “Good. I’m proud to have such a strong little filly, Dawny, hehe.” Dawny shook her head a little and stuck her tongue out playfully. “You um, kind of have the same laugh as Carrous sometimes. You’re kind of making it hard to move on,” she said as she tossed the towel away and headed out from the door before trotting off. “Well I’m going to my room, cya!” The mare just stood there, giving a small wave of her hoof, now feeling a lot more self-conscious about that particular laugh. Maybe with the time spent there, either one of them could have picked up on any of each other’s mannerisms. Quickly Dawny trotted back into her room, book in hoof, and opened the window shade so she could play her game on the windowsill and watch the ponies below. It was nice feeling the afternoon air on her fur; lovely warmth mixed in with a hint of the autumn’s crispness. Various ponies in town walked by every so often on their daily routines. Though after a long while of book searching and pony watching, a small purple blip appeared on the horizon and was coming right back into town. It was Twilight. With wide eyes Dawny watched the mare fly right over the town, heading back to her tree house. Dawny suddenly could hear a bell ring out in the distance, the familiar sound of the school day being over. “Oh. My. Gosh,” she said, getting and epic idea in her head, knowing that there was a certain trio of club fillies that always visited the princess to learn and stuff. Dawny instantly galloped off to find her mom once more. “Hey, mom? Can I go to Sweetie Belle’s?” Her mother naturally agreed, knowing that before the filly usually just walked out anyways sometimes. “Just be back for dinner. And Dawny…” she finished in a serious tone, kneeling down to eye level. “Your whole experience with… ahem…. Carrous… you should keep this a secret between only you, me and Twilight. Don’t be telling any of the other ponies in town. They could get scared from something like that out there. Would you like it if every filly in town was too terrified to even go outside because that thing might get them if they heard what happened to you?” “Momma!” Dawny giggled, hearing mama’s warnings were already obvious. “I know that! But, um… I’ll just tell them not to go near there. But really, I don’t want to relive that by talking about it!” “Just… be safe sweetie…” her mother said and let the filly on her way. One hug and a short flight later, Dawny knocked on Rarity’s door. After a very friendly greeting by the fashionista, the unicorn went looking for her sister. “Sweetie Belle? You have a classmate here to see you!” she called upstairs before trotting back to the filly ogling her clothing on display. “Do you like them dearie?” Dawny nodded her head a lot, astounded by the fashion wonders around here. A pair of pink socks with Celestia’s cutie mark on them was displayed on a mannequin and they caught her eye. “Do you have any of those in my size?” Rarity gave them a look. “I will check for you sweetheart,” she said and went to go check in the storage room for some more appropriately sized. After a few moments Sweetie Belle called out from upstairs. “Who is it?” Sounding like she was coming down, eventually. “It’s me! Dawny Soft!” she called up the stairs. “I’m the new girl!” A small mutter came from upstairs, “Dawny? Dawny? Hmm…” Then she called out again, “Oh hey Dawny! One second!” After a little while the white, cutiemarkless filly came charging down the stairs to come and greet the new filly with a bright playful smile on her face. “Hey, Dawny! I haven’t seen you since… like… well before the weekend. I don’t you remember you at school today either.” “Heya!” Dawny looked over the very pretty filly with a toothy grin. “No, I wasn’t there, but um, uh… I was wondering if I could ask you a big favour. And maybe we could hang out too!” “You want to come hang out? That would be great!” Sweetie said, her light-purple mane bouncing a bit as she nodded in agreement. “Um… let’s go to my room then!” She led Dawny up the stairs and couldn’t help but give the new filly’s flanks a quick glance to see if there was a certain mark there or not; and the blank on that flank was as blank as flanks come. Going into Sweetie Belle’s room was certainly a step up compared to Dawny’s own room. “Whoa…” Dawny couldn’t help but say, seeing what happens when someone like Rarity designs something as simple as a bedroom. Sweetie just closed the door behind her and caught the filly staring. “What? Oh… my room? Yea, it’s nice” she said so nonchalantly. Dawny had a hard time peeling her eyes away, but finally managed when she remembered why she was here. “Hey, so um… I was wondering… I was told not to bother to ask, cause it’s like a personal thing of yours, but um… may I meet Twilight with your friends and you?” Sweetie’s face instantly looked a little more suspicious and hesitant, knowing all too well what happened last time they went down this path, promising not to do it again. “You want to go meet Twilight with us?” Sweetie said, losing the chipperness in her tone as she spoke more cautiously, “Like for our Twilight time?” “Wel-well, yea… but I promise just once!” Dawny said as she timidly rubbed her hoof side to side on the floor. “I… just… would love to have one time with her… teaching me how to fly.” “I… don’t think you should come to Twilight time without, um… asking her permission,” Sweetie said cautiously, worried how it could escalate out of control again if she said yes. “And I don’t know if you know this but she’s not really that great of a flyer. She only got her wings a little while ago. You were here for that!” “O-oh w-well yea…” Dawny said, taking a hit to her spirit. But still, to hold out hope and fly with a princess just once? It was hard to pass up and she wasn’t going to be deterred so easily. “Like I said… I just… wanted to fly with her once… um… cou-could you help me… set that up in anyways Sweetie Belle? Please?” Sweetie scrunched her face just a little but relented. “Well… if you really wanted I could come with you so we can ask her.” “Really?!” Dawny squeaked as her face lit up like a tree on hearth’s warming eve, beaming with delight at levels only her mom could normally do to make her smile. “Oh my gosh, I would totally do anything for you forever if you could make that happen!” The little unicorn blushed a bit in embarrassment from the sudden praise. “N-no… it’s fine. I don’t even know if she’ll accept it yet! But, we could go and ask her right now. I think I saw her trying to fly back to her house when I was coming home.” “Yay!” Dawny cheered, giving the cute filly the biggest of hugs, and sniffed her fur a little. “… you smell reaaally good…” “Thanks! And you’re… um… really soft.” Sweetie just smiled a little, giving her new, excited friend a tiny hug back. One could call it an oddity, but she had one of the softest furs in town. “I don’t use anything fancy,” Dawny Soft said with a small shrug as she broke the hug. “Just was born with a soft coat, just like you were born to look super cute!” Sweetie’s face kept blushing from all the compliments. “You sure are a super nice pony!” she said as she motioned to the door. “Let’s go and talk to Twilight for you.” Dawny jumped in the air as she flapped her wing excitedly and followed her ambassador. Rarity was still downstairs drinking tea, and gave Dawny a hint to come find those socks at her boutique in a few days. Soon enough though they were out of the shop and off to see Twilight. As they walked right up to the door, Dawny was fluttering around Sweetie and still thanking her heartily for setting this up. She was still flabbergasted that she had the chance to spend time with an actual princess, and that this could actually be happening. Sweetie knocked on the door three times and politely waited outside of Twilight’s house and public library combination. Twilight quickly came to the door and opened it, but her mane looked slightly messy compared to what it was earlier. Probably due to flying or fighting, right? Right? The mare wasn’t really smiling at all either, but at least seemed pleasant. “Oh, hello there Sweetie Belle. What bring you here to-“ Twilight paused for a moment as soon as she noticed Dawny, her eyes going wide in surprise to see the filly so soon. “O-oh… um h-hello Dawny.” The alicorn paused as she looked at the two fillies. “Ah... w-what brings you two here today?” Sweetie was about to give the introduction but Dawny quickly blurted out words first. “I wanted to learn how to fly with you, your majesty and um… ask how you got rid of Carrous?” Dawny giggled a little bit seeing the princess’s disheveled mane, having a pretty good idea of what happened. “You had a battle with her it looks like!” Twilight just paused as her cheeks blushed rosy red again, piercing through her purple fur quite easily. Sweetie Belle just looked Dawny a little confused. “Who’s Carrous?” “J-just somepony who I had to deal with far away from here!” Twilight quickly said, then looked at Dawny sternly and started to sound demanding as she slowly opened the door with a hoof. “Dawny. Can I speak with you alone, about your flying lessons? Now.” Obliviously, Dawny just looked at Sweetie with a smile as she trotted inside the tree home. “Yay! Thanks!” she whispered out as the door slowly shut, leaving the marshmallow unicorn confused and wondering why the new filly got to go in while she was left outside. Twilight quickly tried to gather herself in the middle of the large wooden room before she quietly asked, “Ok… ask your questions here. In private.” The princess’s voice sounded more than a little annoyed right now. Dawny furrowed her brow a little, surprised at the princess sudden rudeness. “He-hey! What did I do? I’m just trying to be nice to you, and that isn’t fair to be mean to a filly.” She gave out a short huff, forcing herself to cool off just a little. “…what did you do to Carrous? Battle her, right?” Twilight put a hoof to her face and breathed a bit to calm down, before saying in a calmer tone, “I’m sorry. I’ve just been through a lot today. Carrous… it is taken care of. There’s no way anypony’s ever going to get into those caves again.” She put her hoof back down, and tried to seem a little less grumpy right now. “I… I talked to it… explained the situation and then sealed the entrance. I didn’t need to battle it.” Dawny blinked a few times. “Umm…” Again her gut was telling her something was off, and remembered how the creature had lured her inside when she tried talking to it. “…I don’t believe that’s the whole truth,” the filly mumbled, her hoof rubbing her other one as her head lowered down a little. It felt like the biggest risk she was ever going to take in her life to call a princess out for lying, but she just couldn’t shake that feeling. Dawny continued as she looked back up, “be-because… even I-I can tell by you being grouchy and snapping at me… tha-that things didn’t happen as easy as ‘I moved a rock in front of the cave’. Cause… even I couldn’t speak to her properly until I was trapped inside with her…” The purple unicorn’s face looked more crimson than anything as she blushed an even redder hue. “I uh… it took a lot of energy with shields and spells to uh… keep it away… and then to seal the entrance. I’m just a little tired… yea… tried… and nothing more than that at all.” “…you’re blushing like my mother does when she talks about it…” Dawny said as she thought aloud. But on her face it was clear as day when she was struck by an incredible revelation as her eyes went wide. She just might have been jumping the shark on the assumption, but she did have a mare’s intuition. “YOU AND MY MOM BOTH HAVE BEEN TO CARROUS!” Dawny yelled out loud. “Because I’ve been blushing too every time I talk about her!” Her wings flared out aggressively and her hoof snapped out, pointing accusingly at the stunned princess. “And she used both of you… and you’re both lying?!? How can I even tru-“ She tried to say as a lump caught in her throat, as she felt her bottom lip quiver and tears building in her eyes. “Who’s the real monster? Huh!? My only parent who lies to my face, along with my hero, my idol, my PRINCESS! Who lies to me too about a monster that used ponies! That hurt me! V-violated me! At least she was honest with what she was going to do to me!” Dawny’s cheeks were soaked in tears by the time she stopped screaming at Twilight in her shrill voice. “I doubt you even locked her up. Y-you’re saving her for yourself… o-or for my mommy!” The princess’s annoyance was gone and replaced with stunned silence at being told off by a filly, who was more right than she might have known. Her eyes got a little damp too, feeling the ardent rage from a wronged soul. Twilight couldn’t fathom what to put into words right now, but maybe she could take one from Applejack’s book and try to at least tell the truth. “I… I… umm… y-you’re right… we lied to you about Carrous,” Twilight admitted as she tried to put a hoof on Dawny’s shoulder, but the filly just stepped back out of reach. “But, I am being truthful when I said I did seal it up. No one is going near that cave. Not you, not your mother, not anypony,” Twilight said as she brought her rejected hoof back, feeling terrible for telling a filly something that she should have been too young to know, but also felt it in her heart that it may be the right thing to do, finally giving the wronged filly the answers she was looking for. “No! I want you to take me, right now!” Dawny said with a stomp of her hoof as she shook her head in disbelief. She had already been lied too before and there was no telling when it would actually stop. “If you don’t… I’ll tell EVERYPONY the truth about what you and my mom do, and the ginormous danger that’s just waiting right inside the Everfree. A monster that violates fillies, and is allowed to do so because Princess Twilight Sparkle enjoys it too much!” Dawny snapped at her with her biting words. “I am not kidding!” Dawny threatened, pointing a hoof at the door. “I’ll tell Sweetie Belle, who will tell your friend Rarity, while I tell others. And it will spread! A simple hug an-and a cookie… isn’t going to give back what she took from me… o-or stop the nightmare I am having each night!” The princess grimaced through the spiteful outburst, closing her eyes and lowering her head in shame. “Al-alright… I will take you there,” Twilight said sounding almost defeated. This wasn’t something she would ever consider doing under normal circumstances, but the filly did need some actual closure right now that smoke and mirrors weren’t going to bring. Although with the mention of her friend Rarity, the alicorn took some solace in the filly not knowing how far the entertainment actually spread. Dawny gave her a hard look, one that slowly faded as her demands were being met. She felt some satisfaction, almost like some kind retribution. But her valve felt broken, being young and still very emotional, and ready to snap at a moment’s notice. “I… I learned in school that drugs are bad… m’kay? N-now...they are bad because they are addicting. Just l-like Carrous… sh-she… has my mama addicted.” The next words she practically spat with venom, “…has you addicted.” Dawny paused to for a moment as the waterworks dribbled to a stop and her voice slowly went back to her normal one. “…and… sh-she’s trying to make me… addicted… th-through wet dreams.” The filly slowly started to turn around to the door and opened it. “And when we get there… I can decide if Carrous is a misguided thing… or a drug thing…” Dawny stopped right next to the confused Sweetie Belle, waiting for her fallen idol to follow, not knowing how else to go on. But she trusted that in her heart she knew what was right. Her mama instilled that in her. Twilight gave Sweetie a glance as she walked out and closed the door with her magic. “Sorry, I’ll see you later Sweetie Belle,” she started to say, ready to leave and get this done as fast as possible. “Do you want to fly, or let me fly you there? And we’ll talk while we’re in the air?” Twilight offered as she glanced nervously at Sweetie Belle, praying that through the high pitched yelling and shouts that the innocent filly didn’t hear any of that. “Please?” Dawny turned around, but even as the flame in her was burning low, she felt like had the biggest moral choice of her life. She almost thought it was bigger than anything Twilight ever had to deal with, but she shook that thought from her head. “Ha-hang on… I… I need a minute to think,” she said as she sat down and looked at her hooves, mentally choosing between Twilight and Sweetie Belle. “Ple-please, stay Sweetie Belle…” The two onlookers didn’t move a muscle; Twilight looking like she was about break down in another panic attack of epic proportions, and Sweetie Belle confused as to what this new filly did to make Twilight this way. Dawny seriously thought about something that she felt was even bigger than Carrous. Normally a filly would sigh and give up, but she was tough like her mama so she had to make a decision. Either A, go to the cave with Twilight to see it blocked off, and feel comforted that the liar actually told the truth. Or B, tell Sweetie Belle right now what they were hiding. Keeping Carrous blocked off wasn’t a permanent solution, and that wasn’t even what she wanted in the first place! She wanted to teach Carrous friendship, like her old idol would have done, but that was impossible when the Princess of Friendship was just a horny liar. “Okay…” Dawny looked up past Twilight and right to the filly unicorn. “Sweetie Belle, there’s a big monster in the Everfree and it… it… v-v… violated me!” She finally burst out, keeping both eyes firmly shut. “Dawny!” Twilight said trying to stop it, but it was no use. “An-and Twilight and… and my mommy are trying to cov-cover it up! So they can enjoy the monster, a-and for other fillies like us to get taken and used by it! They don’t care nothing but for themselves!” Dawny finished, openly bad mouthing her liar of a princess. Her only parent, and now her princess were untrustworthy. She had to trust what she wanted, and not them. Both ponies were absolutely stunned, jaws practically dropping to the floor. Sweetie just looked confused and worried, but her expression was slowly turning into fear as she looked to the princess for guidance. “D-Dawny…” Twilight meekly spoke out, feeling how much of a problem this could be. “No!” Dawny snapped out at Twilight’s apology or whatever it was that was coming, crossing her hooves while sitting there. “And trapping Carrous and using her ISN’T HELPING EITHER! It’s like you’re taking advantage of somepony and who doesn’t know better, LIKE ME! A-and telling me, and making me do the wrong thing by being silent, it’s just as bad as using Carrous!” “I honestly believe she’s nice! B-but ponies like you and my mom, are not helping her get better! So long as you are happy in the end. Her wellbeing, nor mine, nor any other filly, matters? Cause, you are happy?” Dawny said as she huffed out and stood back up, trotting over to Sweetie Belle to talk to her exclusively. “Wa-wanna go spread the word w-with me?” The unicorn filly looked almost frightened, stuttering out “I uh… I umm uh…” But Twilight quickly interjected, “Dawny… I… I do care about the wellbeing of all of you. I’m trying to do something that I feel is right by locking Carrous away. The ponies won’t be able to use her anymore, and any accidents with fillies will never happen again… even if it means Carrous will be alone in that dark cave forever.” The alicorn gave a sympathetic glance to Sweetie. “But now… now I don’t know about that anymore. When ponies find out about this, they might try to destroy it instead of talk to it. I wanted to stop this from the beginning, and I was even trying to make it into a sanctuary so that both ponies and it could be happy. But now... I don’t know…” Dawny tried apologizing to Sweetie as the princess spoke, feeling a little hurt that she had to drag her into this, but just sighed as the alicorn finished. “Twilight, why don’t you go do what you’re supposed to, and be the Princess of ‘Friendship’ and do something.” She sniffed. “But, how can I trust you’ll do it this time… when you failed already today?” “I didn’t fail!” Twilight defended herself. “I closed the cave off for good! I can show you, prove to you that it’s done. Forever.” “...okay,” Dawny said reluctantly, giving Sweetie an apologetic look. “I’m so sorry for everything, but... I’m telling the truth.” But she only got a look back that was filled with a mixture of pity and fear, almost like the unicorn was looking at an alien. Dawny trotted up to Twilight, finally feeling like her fire was out after letting it turn into an inferno for those past few minutes. As kindly as she could she asked, “Ca-can you carry me? P-please?” Twilight shook her head as her horn started to light up. “No… we need to do this now. Prepare yourself.” The magic enveloped Twilight and Dawny. The filly pegasus was about to say something, but instead just felt a strange sucking sensation towards a central point between her and the alicorn. In a blinding flash of light she felt completely gone for a moment, until it felt like her body was returning and being shot out from a tiny hole and into the normal world. The air around smelt of ozone and magic, and both Sweetie Belle and Ponyville were gone. Though now there were trees all around and they were standing on a well-traveled dirt path. But Twilight was here standing beside her, inside the Everfree forest. > Chapter 4 – Temptations > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawny rode on the princess’s back as they travelled down the path that presumably led to the cave. Soon enough, they turned off the main pathway and onto a side road that branched off into the trees. The ground below started to turn from dirt into solid rock and stone. They were going down a gentle hill, but as they traveled further they reached a set of stairs that were carved out in the stone. It looked like it would have taken a fair amount of work to build with either magic or chisel. Just around the corner at the bottom of the stairs, Dawny was again looking at the entrance of that cave. Twilight did keep her word. There was a large block of solid rock wedged in, blocking the cave entrance entirely. “So… only you can move this, right?” Dawny asked. Twilight glanced back and nodded, “I’m the only one who can get past this right now. Well… besides maybe one or two in all of Equestria,” she added, being realistic about those higher powers. Dawny nodded approvingly. “Well… I want to go in… jus-just once more… and you’re coming too.” “What? Why?” Twilight said as she shook her head in disbelief. “You’ve already seen that nothing’s getting in here! Plus, there’s more than just a simple rock here.” Twilight picked up a rock with her magic and hurled it at the boulder. An electrifying snap sounded out as the rock impacted a few inches away from the actual boulder, then harmlessly bounced off. Purple ripples outlined a translucent dome of magic. “See? No pony’s ever getting in with this up.” “I know. I know,” Dawny said, feeling just a tiny bit of her faith in her idol partially restoring. “…but I want to go inside and apologize… and… try to reason with her. Because, locking her up for being misguided is still wrong.” Twilight sighed a bit. “You do know that it was using us as much as we were using it. We both were doing it because we both like it. A unique, mutual relationship of sorts.” “I doubt you ever went in there just to talk and understand it,” the filly said with a deadpanned expression. “Just, trust me.” Twilight gasped in surprise. “You think I didn’t get to know someone before I had sex with them?” she said bluntly. “Especially in that way?” It was no use to try and dance around these issues, especially now that they were alone. “N-no… I figured it just forced the sex onto you too, with her sweet words,” Dawny said with a little bit of a frown. Twilight gave a sceptical look as her horn started to glow and the shield started to shimmer. “No. It doesn’t force sex onto ponies who truly don’t want it. If you agreed to it or didn’t resist too much it can be quite… playful.” “I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS SAYING YES TOO!” Dawny snapped out. “And she’s playful until you say yes…” She looked at the cave entrance with a sigh as the protective bubble shook and slowly dissipated into a purple mist. “Just… teleport us in, let me say what I can… and we can all go separate ways. Pretty please? And I’ll even think you are good again…” Twilight rubbed her head at the idea of straining her magic again. “Phew… all this spell casting is getting tiring, but alright.” Her magical glow grew around the two of them once more as they started to teleport. Just like that, Dawny’s world became blackness except for a faint, blue star glowing in the distance. The air was heavy with that unmistakable musky scent and a quite drip echoing out every once in a while. There was also a familiar feeling of a snake like thing touching against her shoulder as it dangled down from the ceiling. Dawny gulped as she hugged tighter on Twilight’s back. “C-Carrous! It’s me, y-your pal… Dawny. I came back with Princess Twilight to discuss… what friendship is…” She couldn’t see it, but she could hear the distinct sound of face hitting hoof and a small sigh right after. As Twilight walked forward, Dawny could feel the familiar sensation of vines bushing up against both of them. The mare casually strolled through them for a while, and Twilight was starting to feel very happy in some certain place. The quiet voice of Carrous suddenly called out in the distance. “H-hello? S-Somepony?” It sounded a little distraught. Twilight whispered back to the filly, “You know I told it that, basically, it will never see anyone again because of what happened. And Dawny, I can’t keep teleporting like this or I’m going to burn myself out,” she reluctantly added. Dawny sighed hearing that, and called out again. “Carrous… please, stop touching us. We only wish to talk. T-this is serious… you could die…” “D-die!?” Carrous gasped, “Why… why do you ponies hate me now? All I did… was make you feel happy.” It sounded like there was some pain in the creature’s voice. Though, the dangling vines started to curl up towards the ceiling, letting the girls pass undisturbed. “You are being used by ponies,” Dawny said, “…and… I-I don’t think you know that. Please, I want to teach you how to make friends… with the Princess of Friendship!” “I’m being used?” the creature questioned, sounding quite surprised. Twilight was starting to reach the illuminated area and they could finally see each other’s hooves. Soon they would be around that corner and talking face to face once more. “Yes!” Dawny answered assertively. “Ponies don’t care about you at all! They aren’t your friends, they… just use you to cum… and forget about you! That’s it… you’re just a toy for sex... and inanimate thing… with no feelings. To anypony but me…” “But they are happy? I am happy… I am warm… it is nice. They don’t like me? Even after all those nice talks?” it asked, sounding quite confused. Finally though, they rounded the corner and entered the large room where the mass was. “W-What do you talk about?” Dawny asked, looking up at the mass with her heart sinking sadly. “Some ponies talk lots, some very little. Some talk about their lives, things they did, sometimes even their dreams… other also talk about how they like it and what they want me to do to them, which if they’re happy, they’ll comeback mmm~… more,” it said, thinking about each mare a little bit. Twilight just sat down in the middle of the room and stayed quiet, letting Dawny getting her speech over and done with. “You… really… do that?” Dawny sounded deflated. “…you really don’t just want friends to do things together… just… sex?” She looked at the mass sadly. “They are my friends aren’t they? And we both feel good,” it questioned, pausing for a bit and then saying in a sombre tone, “Well I don’t know if they’re friends anymore.” “…but F is for friends… who do stuff together… U is for you and me… N is for anypony, and everything under the sun,” Dawny started to sing sadly to the mass, hoping one of her childhood song would make it understand. “…aw…” Dawny sighed as her ears folded down. “…okay Twilight… we can leave…” Carrous sounded worried, “Why is she so sad? W-was it because I made her orgasm? Is that why she doesn’t like me?” “I don’t like you because you only think sex makes friends…” Dawny mumbled out. “What else can ponies do to be friends?” Carrous asked. “Well… go butterfly catching! Go to the beach, sing, dance, and play with play-doh! Draw! All sort of things!” Dawny said as she quickly perked up with a smile. Twilight finally spoke up, “Carrous can’t really do most of those thing Dawny. It’s kind of stuck here in this cave.” “I… I would like to try…” Carrous said right after though. Dawny ignored the downer Twilight and started smiling instead, “We can bring the fun to you! What sounded interesting to you?” “I… I don’t know what any of that is… um… what is play-doh?” it asked as best as it could, but quickly continued, “C-can we um… still play in the old ways too?” Dawny sat up, trying to think this through. “Wait… Twilight…” she said, bending forward to look at the mares eyes from upside down. “…please, tell me I’m wrong… b-but… does Carrous need sex… like… we need water?” Twilight shook her head ever so slightly, “I… I don’t think so. I mean, it might have been alive before it met ponies.” But Carrous spoke up right after, “it… it just feels nice. I like it, and others like it… you liked it…” Dawny blushed a bit as the memories came back to her, and with it came those butterflies in her tummy that were starting to flap around inside of her, making her haunches squeezed together. “…Carrous… were you ever anything else before this?” “Hmmm?” it sounded out as it thought about that question for a bit. “Me? Hmm… I… I just came to be… I was here in the cave... grew for a long time, alone. But then ponies came by and we had fun… had.” Dawny kept looking at the many vines around the room, specifically at some of the dripping ones. She couldn’t help but remember the heat that they carried, a distinct reminder how warm it made her insides feel. She squirmed a little and rubbed her forehead, trying to think but was starting to get distracted at the same time. But a thought was coming to her; be it good or bad, she was unsure. “Well, you… um… w-wait.” Once more she bent over Twilight’s head to look down into the princess’s eyes. “I think I get it! She’s like those changelings I heard about. She needs sex, like the changelings need love. But both can’t help something they naturally want… right?” Twilight started to say logically, “I don’t think-…“ But quickly she caught herself as she thought about it a bit more and started to nod instead, “Y-you may be right. That’s why mares like to do their part. To help… yea…” Dawny hesitantly nodded as the thought finally came into focus in her mind. It was her dream… of her mom and Carrous. She could clearly remember what happened now, and just how it made her wake up each morning. “I… don’t think this is right Twilight,” she said trying hard to focus on why she was here, but was battling that provocative memory that was making her nethers dampens as she straddled the back of Twilight’s neck. The filly eyes looked side to side, having a hard time keeping her eyes on Twilight’s as her naughty wet dreams started to change; her mother slowly started to switch into the purple pony below her. Really the princess just had to turn her head around 180-degrees and it would have been a match. “T-twilight… y-you’re like the superest, smartest pony ever… but, what if you were trapped in a place like this… and colts and stallions did the same thing. Never releasing you or helping you be better, just… came… and left… and said you did a good job. Would it be right if a pony was in Carrous’s position?” Twilight couldn’t help but chuck a little. “I… I think you’re thinking too hard. Carrous had the strength to not have any sex if it really want. Besides, what else is it going to do here if we stop? Carrous isn’t going anywhere and can’t get out of these caves. Plus, the sun makes it uncomfortable.” “We choose intimacy over leaving it alone Dawny,” Twilight finished with a small smirk, but it slowly lowered as she sniffed the air. There was something a little sweeter than the musky scent of the cave. Dawny shifted side to side, entirely questioning herself and the provocative visions of her former idol playing in her mind. The filly just stared blankly at Carrous. “S-so… Carrous… if we want to leave… o-or if I came to visit… alone… you won’t touch us?” Her breath was starting to get heavier and her hips moved, subconsciously rubbing her fillyhood right against Twilight’s spine. Twilight’s eyes shot open in surprise, certainly being able to feel the filly’s warm mound grind into her. She couldn’t help it but her wings were slowly spreading open. Carrous responded back calmly, “I won’t touch you if you really don’t want me to. And… we won’t do anything sexual… Twilight explained the difference between mares and fillies to me. No mistakes again.” “But what abo-… okay…” Dawny let out a sigh. “I… guess it’s okay… but one last thing bugs me…” she continued as she looked right at Twilight. “Umm… stallion ponies get with mare ponies to have sex right? And to have foals… r-right?” The crimson red blush was piercing through purple fur as Twilight just stared into filly’s eyes for the longest time, like her brain was trying to reboot itself. “U-uh… u-uh y-yea…. they do… yes… s-stallions and mares doing that will make babies… um… why?” “Well… like my mommy, and other non-mommies… or single mommies… they won’t get stallions if there’s this thing here to please them,” Dawny said as her ears folded back. “They might never get married, or have a special somepony again when she could just easily trot here. Carrous… ruins relationships.” “I… um,” Twilight started to say, but had to think about that. Honestly, she was never the pony to ask for relationship advice or about anything intimate really. And being bombarded with all of Dawny’s questions was challenging; especially with that wet distraction on her neck. ”They… they are adults and can choose if they want to get a special somepony or not… if your mother wants to be here, then it is her choice.” Dawny though, tried to stand her moral high ground and had to be right on something, especially after her crusade about Carrous being used got shot down so quickly. “But Twilight… me and my mom, well… loved Carrous’s goo… a-and it feels great inside…” Dawny softly said as she lightly grinded her fillyhood on the alicorn’s neck, but was more purposeful and aware of her own movements now. The filly grinding up against Twilight’s neck was blowing the mare’s mind. She could feel it slowly move and dampen her mane, and she had no idea what to even say to that. But it felt like an accident, right? One that would probably be better left unspoken of. Although, she couldn’t help but shift her hindlegs a little, trying to stifle those tingly feelings growing in her own loins. “But stallions would make you pregnant. Right? S-so… why go through the work of dating, and icky kissing and romance, when you can come here?” Dawny continued as she looked right at the mass. “…if my mother lived here before meeting my daddy… I would have never been born… be-because she’d just… come here… like she does now…” Dawny sighed and looked right at Twilight this time, “And you would never have a foal, would you? Not when Carrous cuts out the awkward, lengthy, middle process for straight sex. This... is bad…” “Y-you know Dawny… Carrous has been in town for a very long time, longer than quite a lot of ponies actually,” Twilight said. “Still, during that time, couples get together and have foals. Mares still can have a drive inside of them to make a foal, and do it just for that fact. Sure Carrous feels nice, but it just can’t give everything they really want in life. Besides… does Ponyville strike you as a place lacking foals and young ponies?” “Alright…” Dawny gave a defeated sigh, “I just wanted Ponyville to be normal.” Oddly enough though, she was noticing that Carrous had done nothing so far to entice them, nor did it even try to make them gooey in the slightest. “I’m sorry Carrous…” “I forgive you,” it said back politely, but it didn’t really sound like an apology was needed. Twilight bowed her head a little, “I just hope everypony in town can forgive Carrous the same way you did… if Sweetie Belle said anything…” Dawny’s hooves fidgeted a little as they held onto Twilight. There was still one small thing for her. “…um…” Dawny mumbled softly. “Carrous… can you make me happy one more time with something… I umm… had a dream of? And also… j-just one favour… don’t ever use my mom again,” she said and gave a simple description of the unique looking pegasus. ”Okay?” Twilight looked back at the filly oddly and in a low tone warned her. “Dawny…” Carrous didn’t sound too concerned, but instead asked with a subdued enthusiasm, “u-um… what did you dream of?” “I will only tell you, if you promise to never use my mom again,” Dawny said with a small sigh as she looked down to the purple alicorn. “…and I’ll even let Twilight unblock the cave… just… don’t use my mom again, please?” There was obvious disappointment in the creature’s voice, “I promise not to use her then…” Twilight quickly cut in, “do you think your mother will be very happy about that? I mean, if you want her to get a stallion, what if she doesn’t want to? She already has a foal. She already has you.” Dawny shifted a little more where she sat. “I-I don’t know! But I just don’t want my mommy being used by Carrous until she stops being a meanie liar face to me like you were princess!” With another sigh she looked up at the mass of vines. “Well… if you keep that promise… I’ll… keep mine. Ponies can come back here… a-and my dream… well, was…” Dawny swallowed hard. “That me and my mommy were here and that you put a vine in my... my bum…” She slowly looked to Twilight’s horn as her tongue ran over her lips. “a-and then it kept pushing up… through me… and out my mouth. Which is when I got really scared and it felt like a nightmare...” “And that’s when you made my mommy k-kiss me and it went through her too,” she said timidly as she squished her eye shut. “B-but now I can’t stop picturing me and the princess…” “Oh?! Hehe,” the vines giggled with elated curiosity. “Well that certainly is possible… fun… very fun. Never did it with two ponies through. Something I will try later with other ponies sometime, hehe.” Twilight’s face was still red from that explicit description and she was able to picture uncomfortably well. It didn’t help any that the filly’s hips were squished right into her neck. Nervously she spoke, “U-uh Dawny… uh… what are you getting at here?” Dawny blinked a few times after giving that unique description of a sexual fantasy. “Um… it would make me happy, and forgive you if you… u-umm, did that with me… princess.” “I don’t know…” Twilight said hesitantly, blushing harder and harder with each new thing the filly threw at her. “F-for one… you’re a filly and you shouldn’t be touching either of us like that, at all. Plus Carrous promised not to touch any other fillies. Two, and you might forgive me here, but I don’t know if I could forgive myself for doing that with a filly… or even watch her here…” The pegasus kind of nodded as her stood up on the alicorn, leaving the wet spots of filly musk ground into Twilight’s coat. “I… I swear, this will be the last time I use Carrous… and… she has my permission this time…” Dawny trailed off as she turned around and backed up. Her wings steadied herself as she gave an elated moan of relief when she gently eased her fillyhood down on the princess’s horn. The mare looked too stunned to even move as a tail draped over her face, only looking up in shock at the filly’s wet private bits engulfing that hard protrusion. She tried to protest, but it only came out as an unintelligible mumble. Dawny purred and mewed as she eagerly wiggled her bottom and scratched that major itch that had been building up. Riding her horn was just perfect for her small cunny. Slowly her feminine juices dripped down the alicorn’s face like a rain, just showing how pent up she had been in here. “P-please, Carrous, c-can we do that?” The vines in the room were starting to move around a little bit more and slowly coming over. “I promised not to… just as I promised not to with your mother,” Carrous said sounding quite disappointed. Finally, Twilight shook herself out of her stunned state after feeling those sweet juices come down and soak onto her lips. She liked the taste, but hated where it was coming from. Her horn heated up, giving off a small bit of vibration as the filly’s whole body was surrounded in a magical glow. Swiftly enough, Dawny began to rise up from the horn and into the air, until she was now face to face with the very distraught and conflicted looking Twilight. Dawny just pecked the princess on the lips innocently. “Just one more time couldn’t hurt…” Dawny said. “Then tomorrow will be a new day, and we can all keep our promises. You never use my mom… I’ll never come back. But um, Twilight… I won’t hate you… b-but… you don’t need to feel bad for enjoying this one last time with me. P-please?” It was hard to hide the alicorn’s wings that were fully spread out into the air; they were not going down anytime soon. But Twilight still looked to be in utter shock and surprise, “Y-you say one more time, but… I… don’t think it will be. You went through all this trouble today when you had a dream of Carrous. What happens when you have another dream?” Twilight said matter of factly. “And… and if I did this with you, there’s no going back from that.” “C’mon, please! You want to make me happy, right?” Dawny said as she frowned a little bit. “After all, you didn’t make this place safe… you’re the one who will be held responsible if I keep talking and press things with Sweetie Belle. S-so… this is your time to settle things out of court!” she said with a superior smirk, feeling smart for reading those Hoof Justice comic books a few months ago. “Alright…” Twilight said as she closed her eyes and lowered her head a bit. Her magic faded away and let Dawny land on the vine covered ground. “I’ll let Carrous… play… with you just this once. Just Carrous.” Twilight gave an uncomfortable look as the vine started to move around a lot more actively, brushing up against their fur and tails in anticipation. “Bluh-huh? But, I want you to play too.” Dawny said as she smiled up at the alicorn with an adorable face. “And do that dream I had with me, please?” Twilight awkwardly shifted on her hooves. “B-but… I don’t want to touch a filly that way…” she said meekly. For Carrous, it seemed safe to have fun now, since the vine started to brush up against Dawny’s legs, poking at them gently as it spread its warm nectar along her fur. The filly’s wings started to extend out even more as she bit her lip a little, shifting uncomfortably in the anticipation. “C-can you hug me again?” she politely asked the vine creature,” I don’t mind as much if you get me gooey… jus-just not the face, okay?” But the filly’s eyes went back to Twilight’s as she looked the mare over. “W-well… for somepony who doesn’t want this… you don’t seem bothered having m-my um… w-wetness all over you… and besides… you’re still here,” she said with a small blush, calling it as it was. “I… I uh…” Twilight stammered and her face flushed red once more. “What was I going to do? Just run off and leave you here? N-no…” The warm vines started to coil around the filly’s legs and wrap around her whole body, but they did seem to be mindful about going behind her tail or near her head, for now. With a gentle squeeze, Dawny softly moaned out from that all body hug. “Please… jus-just… try kissing me. You said everything sexual is okay down here with Carrous… I promise not to tell anypony if you have some fun too,” Dawny said with a small little grin, her tail swishing around like an excited puppy. Her breath was starting to get heavier, panting lightly from her mouth. For being such a smart pony, Twilight tried to think of something more to say as an excuse, but nothing was coming to her. She was in a sealed off tunnel down here, away from everypony. “F-fine…” she quietly said as she lowered her head in defeat. Dawny jerked her head forward to land an open muzzle kiss onto the princess’s lips. A small moan escaped the filly when Carrous started to rub her wings, making sure to get in between every feather and piece her wings had to offer. She must have been a good pony for Carrous to be fulfilling a wish from so long ago. When the filly’s small tongue pushed into the princess’s lips, even Twilight couldn’t help but reciprocate ever so slightly. Finally the little pegasus stated to give into just how wonderful Carrous was making her feel. The expert touch from the vines on her sensitive wings made her just shutter in delight. Slowly her tongue retreated from the startled mare after a few moments, a string of saliva hanging on between their lips as Dawny pulled away. Twilight marvelled at how much the filly wanted this; she could just feel it in that kiss. It felt like it was getting close to the point of no return, and she wasn’t exactly putting on the breaks. Twilight leaned in, and gave the filly a timid peck on the lips. Dawny grinned dumbly, but watched as two significantly larger vines moved around her muse, until they were floating right under the alicorn’s tail. “Shall I use the bigger vine on you Twilight?” Carrous asked simply. Twilight sheepishly smiled and blushed in embarrassment once more as she gave a hesitant nod. “Y-yes, please Carrous…” she said as she spread her hindlegs a little and swished her tail to the side to allow the massive vines entrance. “See, it’s fine Twilight!” Dawny said with a smile, but it was quickly broken for a look of ecstasy from the constant squeezing in all the right places. She nuzzled into adult’s fur and whispered through a quiet moan, “Ca-can we do my dream? Mmm… please?” Twilight bit her lip a little as she felt the vines beginning to get very friendly against her swelling sex. “I… I guess we could, h-how did you want it?” the mare panted those words out, feeling the vines lining up for their grand entrance. “W-well I was hoping for maybe two vines. But not the big ones! I don’t think I could fit a big vine through me…” Dawny said with a blush. “But yea, two small ones going through both of us, where we can kiss AND feel her cum into each oth-!?” But the filly’s speech was cut off suddenly as Twilight’s head went forward and passionately kissed her lips. A long, drawn out moan escaped Twilight as the vines quickly found their mark and plunged deep down into both the mare’s holes. The restrained filly hungrily enjoyed every moment as she pressed right back into the demi-god’s lips. Slowly Twilight pulled back from the kiss, panting hotly as the two vines slowly moved inside her. The look on her face was one Dawny had never seen before; not the one of her idol, but one of a lusty pony who was just begging for more. Twilight giggled a little as her face twitched in euphoric pleasure from her tunnel being stretched apart. “Mmm~, hehe, these… oh… are just to tide me over for a little bit… Mmm~!” she softly panted out as she put a hoof to Dawny’s cheeks, looking like she was trying to focus as much as she physically could. “S-soo-oh! Y-you want? Mmm~… oh just direct… Carrous.” Dawny murmured delightfully, being massaged and hugged with unparalleled ministrations. She couldn’t help but curve her back, wiggling her tiny rump around in eager anticipation at what was to come. “Carrous… ca-can you put a small vine into each of our, b-bott-UMS~” she squeaked out in surprise as a vine took the hint and slid between her flanks, brushing up against her slippery folds and tight button of hers. The filly nuzzled her hoof happily, shakily trying to get the rest of her plan out before it was too late. “And… then go through us, until mine goes into Twilight’s mouth… a-and hers into… mine-eeee~!” Dawny whinnied out again the instant a vine flicked against her little, pink pearl. “T-Then both… ending in our vaginas… p-please?” she practically whimpered out. “Y-you’re so dirty Dawny!” Twilight teased and giggled as the sizeable vines quickly slid from her and were replaced with smaller ones. The leap she was taking with Dawny and Carrous seemed enormous, but still she was doing it. They were doing it. And there were no half measures being taken at all. Dawny shivered as soon as she could feel one of the vines pressing against that uncommon entrance. Really, with how quick everything went the first time, she could barely remember what it even felt like in there. But this time was different. This time it was slow and on her terms. With a shaky breath, she relaxed a little more, unclenching her rear and letting that slick appendage push its bulbous tip inside. “I love you Princess Twilight!” The mare’s eyes opened wide and a blush of embarrassment exploded on her face as her brain tried to reboot. “Umm I… I love you too D-Dawny?” Twilight managed to sputter out, but soon was back to thinking. “B-but umm… d-do you think you can handle two vines running through your whole body at the same time? A-and when they… finish… they’re do expand quite rapidly.” The eager filly just gave the mare a blank stare for a short moment; she was bad at understanding the dynamics of phallus inflation. “I’m sure I can handle it!” she said with a happy rump wiggle and leaned forward to kiss Twilight on the lips; the filly being no longer reluctant in the slightest. “And umm… if you want… wouldn’t it be cool if she wrapped us both up, together, like a cocoon? After we become one?” Dawny’s face couldn’t be any redder, or any happier. Twilight just looked at her with a silly smile. “Dawny… y-you lost your virginity like few days ago and now you’re… mmm… thinking of this crazy stuff,” she said with a disbelieving shake of her head at the crazy filly in front of her. Give her an inch and she'll take a mile, or at least all the inches she can physically take. “I have a very good imagination,” Dawny admitted as she wiggled around from the strange sensations inside her. It was already way deeper than she possibly could imagine, and even now she could periodically feel a kick or small bump from inside her tummy. The strange twitches of delight and discovery that she saw from the purple alicorn let her know they were both feeling the same things together; it made Dawny smile. “Mmm… but since we’re only doing this one time,” Dawny said, “I’m happy we can try two like this, and will feel her cumming inside of you and me!” Dawny said as she giggled not so innocently. “You said we would do this one time,” Twilight said with a smirk, before playfully adding, “But you didn’t say how long this one time needed to be, hehe.” Dawny could only pant and close her eyes as she took in the sensual touches. While one was busy travelling the long route though her, another was slowly slipping around her fillyhood, caressing her blossoming flower in preparation for more. Before it was new sensations, but now she had an idea what to expect, and just how nice it could feel. Dawny couldn’t help but stick her rump back into the vines, trying to aim her slippery entrance onto the teasing appendage. Her loins were burning in desire, eager to have that thirst inside her quenched now, even though she knew she’d probably get more than her fill today. There was a part of her that remembered last time, but she took some comfort knowing that this was going at her speed. “T-thank you for being gentle…” Dawny softly mumbled out to the creature. Carrous’s vines continued to sink into her rear, inch after inch just pushing in with no signs of stopping or running out of its impossibly long length. Dawny tried to not focus on the strange feelings inside her too much, but it was getting harder. “Wel-well… soon we’re gonna be unable to do nothing b-but kiss princess… anything important you want to say?” Twilight thought for a moment and nodded. “We need a safe motion or something… just in case,” she said matter of factly as she rubbed her own tummy. “We…we’ll b-be ok. I… I t-trust you t-t-too-OOO~!” Dawny moaned out as the folds of her fillyhood spread apart to make way for a vine. Her loving hole gripped on like a vice, pulling and tugging at the phallic visitor, beckoning it to slide in deeper. Carrous and Twilight both echoed the same moans of pleasure; they sounded like they were having their own fun behind Dawny’s back… or more accurately, Twilight’s tail. “I-I can barely think!” Dawny admitted, her focus and thought process being clogged up with a more carnal desire. Twilight leaned in and gave a small kiss on the filly’s lips. “Then let’s just enjoy it,” she whispered, going back into the kiss until her head started to float up as the vines entangling her body and hooves lifted her off the floor. Eagerly Dawny leapt into the air after her and tried to flap her very stiff wings. They never felt like this before, and they were practically impossible to fly with now, but that didn’t matter. The cradle of vines comfortably squeezing her held her in the air and floated her alongside the enticing purple pony. The vines manipulated Dawny in the air, lifting her tail and pulling it up high, along with spreading her legs wide for the best ease of access. It was hard to describe how exposed she felt, yet at the same time protected and loved. Dawny smiled to her golden idol once more. The only things that existed right now to her were Twilight, Carrous and this cave. Anything beyond that she no longer cared for. Dawny gulped one last time, preparing herself for the vine coming out and relaxing as best as she could to try and accommodate the soon to be duo of vines in her throat. “Best princess…” she whispered as she opened her maw. Twilight smiled happily, but soon it was broken as a vine squeezed out between the mare’s lips. Dawny’s vine slipped out from her own throat as the two wiggling sisters slid out into the open and searched for each other. With a gulp, Twilight easily took in the second vine into her mouth. The other one smeared a thick glob of sap along Dawny’s lips before it squeezed into the filly’s awaiting mouth. She imagined it was just like swallowing a pill with water, but really it wasn’t even close to that. It was a bit of a struggle as she tried not to gag, but when she coughed a few times she didn’t let panic take over. Strangely enough, it somehow felt worth it, this was everything she dreamed of and more. And like a shoelace being tightened, the vines slid Dawny’s head closer to Twilight’s until their wide open mouths touched. Dawny softly moaned and tried to slide her tongue into the alicorn’s muzzle, with Twilight meeting it with her own, starting an awkward oral dance between two unlikely partners. It was still a little strange doing this with a filly, but this was happening now and there was no stopping it. Might as well enjoy the ride she signed up for. The vines kept sliding along, never stopping but still felt like it would take forever to complete the circuit. How long was a pony’s body anyways? Thankfully, once Dawny was high in the air, their puppeteer pressed her body right up against Twilight’s. The filly could feel every twitch and curl of pleasure against her partner fur. If Dawny blushed any harder, her cheeks might pop. Her mind was absolutely blown. So much was happening, so many sensations. She had no idea how to process it all, her brain all but falling apart to her feral instinct. Only hot breaths came moaning from Dawny’s mouth as she slipped against Twilight’s tongue. Even with the vines touching all over, shockingly enough, she hadn’t orgasmed yet. The memorable feeling of the build-up was there, but she still didn’t feel close yet. The vine in her fillyhood moved enough to barely stay in her mind, probably saving her flower for the special ending. From her body’s eagerness and what she remembered the vines could do, she expected records to be broken today. But suddenly something caused Dawny to peek out and stare into Twilight’s half lidded eyes. A hoof had swooped in, bumping some vines out of the way and was pressing itself right up against the young pegasus’s little love button. Twilight rubbed along that special spot of Dawny’s, staring back at her in this intimate embrace. While it didn’t instantly hit all the right spots, or try to draw out the maximum amount of pleasure from her little body. There was something more in this simple touch, something so much rawer and pony like, and unique in its own way. The perfect imperfection of a hoof. Twilight’s hoof. Her Twilight’s hoof. Either through her own subconscious doing or through the help of the vines, Dawny’s own hoof began to move and find its way down between those purple legs. She could feel the blazing heat of the alicorn’s wet sex and the noticeable little nub that wink out from those puffy lips onto her little hoof. Dawny tried to copy the same counter clockwise circles as best as she could, but Twilight was breaking her mind once more, making her moan out like the dirty whorse her mama warned her that sex would turn her into. But Dawny’s hoof turned shaky and she curved her back a little when she felt a slippery friend exit from her rear, widening and stretching the hole to accommodate both lengths. The vine already inside her fillyhood pulled out all the way to make room. Finally, the traveling vine that left Dawny’s rear turned around and eagerly jumped over to the filly’s feminine folds, rubbing only for a few seconds before happily entering Dawny’s warm body. The filly could only guess by the by the moan and wiggles from Twilight, that the mare was getting the same treatment, albeit with less girth compared to her previous choice of appendages. The fact that the circuit had been completed made the filly’s loins tingle in delight. Her naughty dream had been turned into reality and as of right now, it felt like all three of them were one. She tried to make out with the princess and rub against the older mare’s clit the best she could, but she barely could put any focus into it as the vines started to move. They slid back and forth, throughout the length of their bodies, pleasuring everything in one long line. It was too much for the filly to handle, as her body quickly reached its peak. The series of coming orgasms were starting. Dawny came first, and the gentle build up throughout the entire night hit her hard. Her stiff wings tried to beat erratically as she screamed with heavenly passion into Twilight’s muzzle. Her heart practically tried to leap out of her chest. Both of her holes tightly convulsed around the intruding vines, trying to milk and massage them as best as they could, until finally a squirt of filly juice came rushing out, spraying against the vines and Twilight’s hoof. The filly just launched over the edge, but the next peak seemed to be approaching with blinding speed as the vines kept thrusting into her and sliding all throughout. Twilight’s hoof feverishly rubbed while the plethora of eager vines were grabbing between her small folds, rubbing intensely and tending to every square inch of her mound. Carrous’s moans were loud, reverberating through the entire cave in ways that anypony could physically feel just how intense this was for the creature. The vines were starting to encase the two ponies and the blue light from inside the cave started to fade away as Dawny could feel another explosion inside her counting down. She could feel herself being cocooned alongside her Twilight, and felt another jet of warmth squirt out from her as her whole body clenched for those long, euphoric seconds. Neither of them could see anything, but as Dawny rode her orgasm down she could feel the alicorn’s marehood against her hoof. The adult’s winking clit was strong, powerful even, as it tapped against her hoof. The wetness against Dawny’s hoof was like swimming in an ocean, and she could feel each time Twilight came. Her hoof would get trapped between those purple thighs, and a muffled “Dawny~!” would cry out. But it was hard to pay attention to even that. If a doctor looked at Dawny, they’d register her as brain dead. She just existed in another euphoric plain. Unable to cope with the pleasures even a god was struggling to handle, just cumming, one after the other, orgasm after orgasm, rocking her mind, body and soul. Time was lost, but as the symphony of squeaks, mews and moans continued on, the whole cocoon and every vine within started the shake and throb. When the thrusting vine between her filly folds pushed in deep and stayed there, Dawny knew the finale was coming. Dawny could feel her body being filled more than she ever could hope to imagine as the vines grew in size and stretched her entire length out. She squealed in delight when she felt that torrent warm up her bottom as it flowed through the vine. It moved fast and the filly could feel every inch that it travelled, all the way until it left her mouth in mere seconds. Almost instantly, another surge shot back into her. The anticipation building up was going to set her off again, like a lit fuse rushing towards a stick of dynamite within her core. Dawny could hear her uncontrolled screams match Twilight’s. One last soul exploding orgasm smashing through all expectations as a hot rush of goo filled her young tunnel, pumping one shot in after another and spreading her walls to the max. The filly felt the cocoon slowly fill, covering every inch of her in a thick coat of that warm substance. But much to both pony’s relief, after a few seconds the thick vines started to shrink until they were smaller than normal. The blue light started to come back as some of the vines fell from the cocoon. Soon even Dawny felt that she was slowly starting to descend towards the floor. Reflexively she tried to flap her wings, but there was no chance she was moving them while being wrapped up so thoroughly. Luckily the vines didn’t lose their strength that fast and the girls softly came to the ground in a heap of limbs and appendages. Dawny was still on her side, stuck together muzzle to muzzle with her purple princess. She slowly opened her eyes and renter her body after that heavenly out of body experience. It was amazing how today’s simple beginnings made its way to this. Dawny panted hard, trying her best to look into Twilight’s eyes, even if the goo did sting a little. But the feeling of just being here with the princess was just… indescribable. Carrous still sounded like it was hyperventilating; it seemed they’d be stuck there until the exhausted vines regained their strength. Dawny tried to give Twilight a hug, but instead her hoof lazily landed along the princess’s waist. The filly’s eyes slowly fell shut and her head rested against the alicorn’s chest. But somepony’s hooves had different ideas. Twilight softly let out a muffled giggle as her hoof started to have a bit more fun between the filly’s legs, at least with the last little bit of energy she had left. “….mmmm~” Dawny softly moaned, feeling her sensitive love button being pleasured once more. It wasn’t going to make her burst again, but it was enough to make her want to cuddle in as close to her Twilight as possible. The next several minutes of this were nice, the last little piece to finish off this crazy experience, and a part of her wanted to stay like this forever. > Chapter 5 – Rifts and Repairs > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unlike the last time Dawny ended up in a pile of tentacles and goo, she managed to stay awake through the whole encounter; even if it was the most intense event to date. She let out a content sigh lying here against her princess, waiting in the fallen cocoon, feeling the warm sap seep into her mouth and coat. The only thing they could do was wait a few minutes, feeling each other’s hot, exhausted breath. Thankfully, the vines slowly started twitch back to life, drunkenly wiggling around like it was coming out of a deep slumber. Carrous was first to break the silence and speak. “W-well… mmm… that was interesting. Amazing. Or as Rainbow would say… awesome!” Dawny let out a slow moan into Twilight’s mouth as the vines in her started to recede. Her fillyhood held on tightly as the vine pulled out, but eventually it left and disappeared back through her bottom. She shivered and squirmed, feeling it slide its way out. She had been filled more than anypony could have ever been filled before, but with the vines leaving her, a strange emptiness took its place. Soon, one vine popped out from Dawny’s maw and the second soon followed. “Twilight?” she whispered as she slowly opened her eyes. Twilight stretched her jaw a little in relief before giving the filly’s glazed lips a small lick. “Yes… mmm… Dawny?” “…can this be our Twilight time together?” Dawny asked. Twilight blushed again as she hesitantly said, “Y-you want to do this more? T-together?” Doing this once in an isolated cave was one thing, but the thought of doing this multiple times sounded crazy. “Y-yea…” Dawny said dopily as she just barely kissed her. “This would be just our super special Twilight time.” A smile broke on Twilight’s face again for a moment, but slowly it turned to a frown. “I… I wish I could. But… it would look mighty suspicious if we both were traveling here with each other all the time.” “Just once a week… please!” Dawny said with a look of concern, but slowly softened as she rubbed her nose against Twilight’s. “I… I trust my princess. That she will make sure we can do this again.” “Dawny…” Twilight sighed, “It was fun, but more times? I… I really don’t think I can risk it.” Twilight paused for a second before smirking. “Besides, you said it yourself. This was the last time.” Dawny face deadpanned, hearing her own words used against her. “But, you loved it! And I’m creative! I bet you would have never come up with that! Plea-please, just you and me…” she desperately begged, “Please, please, please… maybe every other week?” The mare bit her lip a little and couldn’t help but nod slightly. “Maybe,” she said and Dawny’s eyes lit up and she let out a small cheer before Twilight continued. “But… you know you could just come here by yourself… at this point, we’re a little past hiding this place from you.” Twilight said sheepishly. Dawny rolled her eyes. “I don’t want just that, I want you too!” She couldn’t help but move in once more and give out a passionate kiss, hugging tightly against her body. “And don’t lie… you love some filly action~” Twilight couldn’t help but shift her gaze away with an all too telling grin on her face. But it slowly faded as the reality of the outside world prodded on her mind, plus the uncomfortable fact that she was explicitly planning to do this again. “I can’t... adults… can’t do this stuff with fillies.” “It will be our secret… and you’re a princess. You can bend the rules.” Dawny gave her the puppy dog eyes. “I can come to your place… no one would interrupt you in your own bedroom.” Twilight tilted her head side to side in thought, though her mind was still a little foggy in her delirious, afterglow state. “W-well… I still have Spike at my house, and he’s always there. That’s kind of why I come to a place like this too.” Dawny gave a few thoughtful blinks. ”What about my place? My mom wants Carrous. I want you, and you want me… my mom could use a special somepony... we could get along really great as a family!” she squeaked out happily. The alicorn couldn’t help but facehoof. There was no reasoning with this filly; she would just want more. “I… I don’t even know where to begin with that. Why... why don’t you find somepony else to come here with you?” she started as she pulled the first pony from her mind out. “Like Sweetie Belle or something?” But Twilight’s eyes went wide as soon as she said that. She put a hoof over her mouth like it would put back those words. “Twilight!?!” Dawny huffed in surprise, “H-how… how could you just ask me to make another filly come down here and get hurt! W-we’re here to make sure that never happens again!” “S-sorry! I didn’t mean to say that it just kind of came out. I… I don’t want you to bring anyone else down here.” Twilight affirmed. “…I don’t like this…” Dawny sighed and looked down sadly, glancing at the mess of vines and goo they were still in. “Carrous… just makes me want to have lots and lots more sex with her. It’s addicting… and addictions are bad… I… I failed.” The little filly sighed once more and shook her head. “…ponies shouldn’t use Carrous… and Carrous shouldn’t use ponies. Keep the cave blocked off.” “Oh you didn’t fail.” Twilight put a hoof on Dawny’s shoulder. “Sex is a natural part of being alive, and finding better ways to enjoy it isn’t an addiction. Maybe if you could never leave this cave, but you’ll go home and maybe visit here once in a while? Right? So you’re just using it in moderation, which is ok.” Dawny frowned. “But, it’s an addiction when I can’t stop thinking of her… or dreaming about her… or talking about her at school or with my mom… or adult ponies. Carrous… needs to go.” “That’s why you learn to control yourself. Do you think it’s an addiction to use your own hoof?” Twilight said with a clever smirk. “Are you addicted to your own hoof?” It felt like she was one upping the filly. It would be a shame if this place closed for good, and who even knows what already happened outside after this place was closed for a bit. Dawny’s eyes were unsure as she wiggled a bit when the vine finally left her rear. “N-no? Maybe? B-but, I… still think you’re using your age to trick me… again,” she mumbled sadly, “…I want this place closed off, and when I’m older… I’ll remove Carrous myself then-“ “Why do you always want me gone?” Carrous interjected. “Why can’t ponies just have fun with me? Is that too much to ask?” Dawny’s frown deepened as her ears drooped down. “P-ponies should love ponies… not… plants…” “Don’t you think it should be their choice?” Twilight commented, “To do so if they want? Ponies aren’t forced to come to this place.” “…but we came back after one try,” Dawny said. “How many ponies do you seriously think would turn their backs on this place forever? I… I was bucked unconscious and I still want to come back!” Twilight sighed a little, “Well, being that overwhelmed isn’t for everypony all the time. Some come every once in a while, but some don’t like it, so they don’t come here. This place is for ponies who… like that sort of entertainment… and you’re one of them.” “But I never wanted this type of entertainment!” Dawny shot out. “Sho-show me three mares who came here and no longer want, need or even dream of Carrous. I… I doubt you could. I could cry in front of my mom-“ She shook her head at the thought of that, nudging away Twilight’s hoof from her shoulder. “I did cry in front of my mom! A-and she even made me tell her in detail what happened!” “MY MOMMY GOT WET FROM THAT!” Dawny spat out as her eyes welled up again. The alicorn winced and a depressed look fell upon the mare’s face as she lowered her head in shame. There really was no going back from the past. “D-don’t you dare tell me Carrous isn’t bad..." Carrous called out, but even it sounded a little pitiful too, “I… I’m sorry for doing that… but… I didn’t know it was wrong to do that. Now I do… now I will never do that to another filly again… I’ve learned.” Dawny sniffled a little more and shifted around, “I-I-I can’t believe th-that I’m more angry a-at my princess t-then the thing that-“ Dawny stopped and swallowed deeply, before hanging her head once more as tears streaked down. She was finally starting to get the double meaning of her mother’s probing questions. “D-Dawny… don’t cry…” Twilight said meekly. “I know we messed up, but your mom. I just don’t think she really knew how to handle that. She still loves you, but might have just wanted you to move on… and it looked like you did a bit. Yesterday I saw you all bright and happy walking by with your mom. If you didn’t tell me what happened I would have never guessed.” “W-well I didn’t just move on!” Dawny said as she shook her head. “A-and you talk about self-control? M-my mommy got turned on b-by me-” She looked up as little droplets silently ran down her cheeks. “What does that say about everypony’s self-control? No, I’ve made up my mind. C-Carrous is bad for everypony…” Carrous quietly spoke “I don’t want to be bad for everypony… I want to be good for them…” “Just… let me go home now…” Dawny continued, mumbling out her words and getting a defeated nod from Twilight. The filly wiggled around and some more vines slipped off of her as she stood up. “A-and Princess Twilight… you’re just doing what makes you happy and look good in front of other ponies. Y-you don’t care that this is destroying our community.” Twilight gave another quizzical look. “Y-you do know that this place has, more or less, built Ponyville rather than destroy it, right? It’s been around for a very long time.” “And it’s time to move on, and stop living in the past,” Dawny said. “Other towns don’t need Carrous. They just need each other to be happy…” “And what are we going to do? Get rid of Carrous?” Twilight said with a disappointed look. “It isn’t that simple either. Carrous is a living being like you or me.” “A-and so are those Changelings and other creatures that can eat us,” Dawny huffed out. “We’ve gotten rid of those. And can you really blame them? When they are doing only what they need to do to survive?” The pegasus finally started to stand and stumbled over the vine covered floor, testing her rubbery legs. “S-so… you see it as if they don’t obey us, they are bad. And I think, from your view, that since Carrous obeys ponies she’s good… but changelings don’t, so they are bad? That’s… just messed up.” Dawny said with a shake of her head. “No, the cave is going to be blocked. And I’ll check this place a lot! And don’t tell me it’s dangerous to go alone, because you, me, my mom, and basically all of Ponyville trot here as calmly as they wish. So can I.” Twilight held her tongue and weighed the options while Dawny went on. But by today’s events, it was hard to tell if the filly was truly traumatized by the creature, and Carrous certainly wasn’t going to be playing with any other fillies. It was probably going to cause more problems if the town knew the tunnel was blocked off, if those problems hadn’t started already. Twilight just looked away and crossed her hooves shyly. “I… I don’t think I will block it off anymore…” “WHAT?!” Dawny hoarsely yelled out in surprise. “See! She’s got you addicted now too! You can’t even try something different! Wait…” She paused as she blinked a few times, and changed her tone. “You grew up in Canterlot just fine without Carrous. Why does Ponyville need her? Tell me anypony special to ever come out of this lame town.” “I used to live in Cloudsdale, and I can basically tell you a hero or icon from every town. Not Ponyville! Everyone’s too busy getting stuffed by Carrous!” Dawny said as she turned around and looked down one of the tunnels solemnly before turning to Twilight. “And you know what the worst part is?” Dawny said, “If you or even Celestia herself came down and said that they were blocking off the tunnel, everyone in Ponyville would turn on you, because they’re addicted! Just like you!” “We’re not addicted!” Twilight shouted out, not looking impressed in the slightest. “We can quit anytime we want… we just choose not to.” It was getting very difficult arguing with a filly that just couldn’t see it her way. “We are keeping Carrous’s place open and that’s final!” she said with a small stomp of her hoof. “Ugh! How about this,” Dawny called out angrily. “ONE. WHOLE. WEEK. Block off the entrance. I’ll prove it to you and everypony else there’s an addiction! Taking it away is the only way to see it, and you will. They’ll be throwing temper tantrums just like I did when mama used to take my sippy cup away.” “I guarantee that you’ll have torches outside your house just after two days. Don’t believe me? Then do it. Seven days. That’s it.” Dawny stood as aggressively as she could, not backing down from this at all. But the worry on Twilight’s face was obvious, only making the smirk on Dawny’s face grow. The alicorn was more concerned that this place had already been closed for so long, and that Dawny’s predictions would have happened when they got back, never mind two days. “U-umm… ok…” Twilight said timidly. “I’m… I’m sure everypony will be able to last that long.” She hoped at least. “Then… once we’re through the week, everything will go back to normal? Deal?” “Deal. Seven days,” Dawny said as she straightened up even more. “You just make a formal announcement that you are the one closing it. And if nothing happens, I’ll just come out and admit to the town I lied, and I just followed my mom here and was curious and enjoyed it. Then yea, everything will go back to normal.” “If Sweetie Belle told anypony, then fine,” Dawny continued. “Say that a filly was hurt and that’s why you’re closing the cave. Don’t say for seven da-“ Dawny squinted a little as more things were clicking inside of her mind. “Yea, tell them your closed it because a filly was hurt here, and they’ll STILL want it opened. If you believe so much that everypony has enough self-control, why are you so hesitant keeping it closed? Clearly, you have no self-control if you can’t imagine lasting a week.” She stomped her hoof to imitate Twilight mockingly. “Stand by your claims for seven days, and keep the cave blocked.” Twilight sighed and looked up at Dawny with clear annoyance on her face. “Fine! I will leave it blocked off for one week! And then we will see where we are at. Ok?!” She didn’t like this at all, and Dawny could forget about any future Twilight time. “And we will see that everything will be fine.” “Yay!” Dawny fluttered her wings happily at the thought of making a princess submit to her demands. It worked on her mom all the time, and it could work on an alicorn too. “I totally agree.” She stuck out her hoof and smirked a little. “Thank you, Twilight.” Unlike the snappy royal, she retained her manners. The princess walked up and warily shook her hoof. “Uh… you’re welcome Dawny…” Twilight said with a bit of a frown on her face; out matched by a filly. Dawny smiled a little more from the victory shake, but couldn’t help but turn it into a hug that was awkwardly reciprocated. It did feel nice to have a tiny piece of her former idol’s image repaired. The filly smiled softly as she let go and motioned towards the exit. “Well. Come on, I think it’s time to go,” Dawny said, even offering to hold her hoof too. “Ummm… you really want to go outside now?” Twilight looked the filly over and pointed with her hoof, only to get a confused tilt of the head from the young pegasus. “We’re still a little dirty. Let’s…. go get cleaned before we head out.” Dawny blushed as she looked herself over, and her blush only doubled as she realized the layer of goo felt so natural that she didn’t even notice. “Righ-right… haha…” She tried laughing it off as she tried wiping some of the goo off her fur. Thick globs splattered to the floor, but it felt like she would never get all of it off. Twilight rolled her eyes. “It’s never going to come off that way,” she said as she turned around and headed for a tunnel leading down further into the earth. “Follow me.” Dawny frowned a little as she followed, “…you’ve been here enough to know all the tunnels?” “Well… not all of them…” Twilight said with a blush at the potential measurement of her promiscuity inside these walls. “This place is, well… quite extensive. I don’t even think Carrous has been in all these tunnels. But the place we’re going to, it’s more of a post-sex phase… everypony goes there to get cleaned.” Dawny stopped following with a frown for a moment before picking up after the alicorn. “That’s…” She trailed off with her voice sounding sad about her hero being as seemingly dirty as everypony else in this town. “…why don’t we just lick each other clean?” “I… I uh…” Twilight started to stammer as she blushed even harder, but after all the fighting and arguing there was a strong reluctance on her face. “I don’t think we should… besides, it’s just as nice where we’re going.” “Alright… well, you… um… were a great kisser Twilight!” Dawny offered as she trotted along, blushing a little as she realized the princess was her first kiss. “And um… since we agreed this would be that last time… well… we should just enjoy it… and… and umm… I would enjoy licking you clean…” It didn’t help any that Dawny was walking a little behind the alicorn, watching with every step as the mare’s rump swayed back and forth seductively. That tail swishing side to side, letting her get a peek at those fun filled lips between those purple flanks. “Well we all have to make sacrifices for this deal Dawny… and this might be one of them for you,” Twilight said as she glace back with an all too knowing look. Dawny swallowed. Was she drooling? “…h-huh.? W-what do you mean?” she said as she slowly peeled her eyes away from that dripping crevice. “Well… ponies won’t get to touch Carrous, and you won’t be able to touch me.” Twilight gave a smirk. “I think that sounds fair.” Dawny stuck her bottom lip out. “Fine! I can live without you,” she said with a huff as her voice turned mean. “Besides, I just wanted more of that cum. Who cares that it’s on you? You don’t make it special. You’re just a cumdumpster like anypony else!” Dawny said as she stuck up her chin and went to follow beside the princess instead. “But, you’re right. I will make my own sacrifices like everypony else.” Twilight just shook her head. “Where do you even get all this language? I know we’ve not been keeping up with your moral standards, but are you always this rude when you don’t get your way?” The filly’s ears folded back and she looked away with a frown. “I… I… ok… I apologize… I just tried using two nasty words together… sorry.” There was a moment of silence, as Dawny slowly started to moved closer and softly nuzzled against Twilight’s shoulder. “Ok… even if we have been arguing a lot, you’ve been good for agreeing with me. So… I’ll be nicer, and um… be quieter…” With a heavy sigh she looked up at the alicorn. “I am sorry, Twilight…” “It’s ok Dawny,” Twilight said automatically and gave a small nod as they continued towards the pool. The air was getting noticeably humid and had a relaxing warmth to it. Soon, the deep blue waters of the hot springs came into view. “Let’s… just get cleaned so we can go home…” she said as she gently dipped her hoof in, testing the warm waters; sticky globs on her hoof fell right off. Dawny watched as the sensual fluid flowed towards the center and disappeared down into a large hole in the middle. As much as she wanted to see down into that hole, she could only see more vines in the blue abyss. Twilight was first to wade in, and the purple on her fur was beginning to show once more. Dawny laid down at the edge and washed her forehooves off; the goo was surprisingly easy to clean in this water. Casually she looked at Twilight. “…you would make a really good mommy someday.” “T-thanks?” Twilight said in surprise and gave an odd look back at the filly, not sure how to think about that. Just imaging herself with a child sounded so strange. Instead of talking though, the alicorn disappeared under the water and swam out into deeper waters. When the mare surface she floated on her back, with wings and legs spread out. Slowly a hoof trailed between her spread legs to do a little self-cleaning, coaxing out some of the creamy bounty that was buried within. Twilight’s eyes drifted upwards to a small, pony sized mass on the corner of the ceiling and called out as she blushed once more, “Umm… a… a little help please?” The vines started to move underneath the water, eagerly offering their services. “I could have helped…” Dawny grumbled a little as she waded into the shallowest part of the pool, sitting down and scrubbing her mane and fur clean. Though when it came to her fillyhood, she kind of brushed over it quickly and stopped with an awkward blush. “No,” Twilight said with a smirk as the vines started to hold her up in the water. “I don’t think you could have helped. This isn’t for the outside, but for the mess Carrous left inside. So, unless your tongue is about fifteen to twentyish inches long, it might be a little hard for you.” “Whoa… that’s really dee-“ Dawny started before she saw the vines ready to target the princess’s nethers. “WHOA, HEY!” she said with a shake of her head. “What about making ‘sacrifices’? That’s part of Carrous, and that’s using her! So, no! You just have to live with it like I am.” She smirked right back at Ms.Smartypants. Twilight burst into a little bit of a giggle, “Haha, nope. I’m getting this stuff out of me. I’ve heard… stories… where it’s not so nice leaving yourself full like that. You can keep it if you want, buuuut you probably should do the same thing.” Dawny glared a little at Twilight. She would have gone right over and yanked those vines away, but she hesitantly looked at the deep water. “Wow, gee, and a little filly can stick to a deal better than a princess. That’s nice,” she said as she stepped out and sat on the edge of the pool. “C’mon, we agreed no more Carrous!” “Ooo!~” Twilight moaned out in delight as the vines pressed inside and started their thorough cleaning. Dawny rolled her eyes and crossed her hooves, “You wanna come out, or am I gonna have to be gross and pee in the pool?” Twilight bit her lip a little more as her head went back. “Dawny…. can you just let me do this?” “F-fine! B-b-but… if you get one free pass to break the rule, I-I…” She paused as she took a moment to think and a small smile came across her face as the filly looked between her own legs. “I want you to kiss …m-my…” Her face heated up as she stared at the word down below. “M-me! K-kiss me…for as long as you use those vines,” she said as she peaked out from a wing that quickly hid her face. Twilight raised her eyebrows quizzically as she peaked at the nervous filly. It’s not like she hadn’t already locked lips with two vines connecting them together in some crazy threesome. How much more intimate could they really get? “Alright… get over here then, hehe,” she giggled with a half lidded look in her eyes, relaxing into the vines scooping out her deepest parts. Dawny gulped as she waded back into the water, but when she was deep enough that her withers dipped below the surface she awkwardly stopped. She wanted to consider her options, but just watching her princess was turning her on again and only one answer was clear. “C-Carrous… I umm… kinda need your help to carry me… since… I can’t swim…” The vines started to mobilize quickly, and Twilight giggled a little. “Umm Dawny…” Twilight said as she spread her wings and splashed them against the surface to make her point. “What? I... can’t fly when they are wet,” Dawny said honestly, feeling just how much she still needed to learn. The vines wrapped around Dawny’s waist, but one, seemingly on accident, went between her legs, squeezing its length right between her fillyhood and grabbing onto her rump as she lifted out from the water. Dawny’s wings fluttered a little and a quiet moan escaped her lips as she floated over. She gulped, picturing the vines lowering herself onto Twilight’s head. She could just hug that beautiful face, straddling it, and seeing just what the princess’s muzzle could do while she held on. The closer Dawny got the more that familiar need inside her begged her to speak. “L-let’s see if your tongue can reach f-far enough to clean…?” Dawny said in a pleasure filled shiver as the one vine let go of her rump, slowly sliding down her little slit before the other vines gently placed her down. Twilight moaned out a little as Dawny landed on her chest; Carrous hitting her in just the right spot. Her eyes opened seductively as a sly smiled crested the alicorn’s face, “mmm... what was that?” Dawny was biting her lip hard while looking down at Twilight’s soft muzzle. “C-can you… k-k-kiss my fillyhood? W-with your t-t-tongue?” That fire in between her legs was returning as she shyly turned around, lifting her tail and showing off her need to her Twilight, desperately hoping for her desire to be satisfied. The filly’s lips were on full display as Twilight started into that slippery, goo-filled abyss. The mare could practically taste it from here. But she had to resist. “D-Dawny… I… I would love to, but… I don’t think we should while our little deal is on the table.” Twilight brought her hoof up and stroked against Dawny’s cutiemarkless sides. “I mean… if we just let that whole thing slide then maybe I could kiss it. Passionately.” Dawny had a hard time swallowing. “W-would you d-d-do this more with me too?” It was hard to push this desire from her mind. And the prospect of more? She could barely focus on what she was trading off for that temptation. This was something Twilight could do to keep everything running like it had been before. The mare smiled slyly, “Yes Dawny, we could do this a lot more.” She stuck out her tongue and licked right along the filly’s inner thigh, feeling the little pony shiver and practically melt on top of her. “A lot more.” Dawny could feel her body screaming at her to just jump right back on top of that royal maw. But the princess hooves were holding her back, even as Dawny pushed and tried lowering her fillyhood closer to those warm exhales. “I… I let you use Carrous… a-and that didn’t void the deal… p-please just let me!” she whinnied out as she pressed back, but with no success. “For cleaning, not for orgasms,” Twilight reiterated. “If we forget about the deal we can have our own special Twilight time regularly at my place, here, or wherever seems nice. You would like that wouldn’t you? And it’ll be more than a kiss… much, much more.” She blew a nice hot stream of air right at the filly’s little cunny, and watched how that drooling slit quivered. Dawny’s eyes shut tightly, desperately trying to think of something else to say, but only one word was in her mind. “OKAY!” she squeaked and tried pushing back with a groan. “The deal’s off… just… just please lick me!” The purple pony quickly smirked before her lips engulfed that little slit in front of her, sucking out delicious mix of sap and filly. Dawny let out a plethora of moans feeling that royal tongue invade her. “O-oh Twilight… I-I love you! Thank you!” the filly squeaked, squirming and gyrating her hips back and forth against Twilight’s muzzle. Twilight tried to reply but it just came out as a muffled moan against that young mound. It still felt a little wrong in the back of her head, but after today’s events and with her tongue half way up a foal, she didn’t even give it a second thought anymore. One more strong suck had Dawny’s eyes rolling into the back of her head. Her wings snapped outwards and her head leaned all the way back. The pervious anticipation already had her on the edge, and she couldn’t slop the hot juice squirting out into Twilight’s mouth as she came. The sweet tasting juices just added to the fun. Finally Twilight relented and pulled her head back, slurping and licking her lips like she just had one of the juiciest peaches around. “Mmm… t-that... was… mmm… delicious.” Dawny panted like a dog with her head still tilted back. Though, disappointment rose up in her, her body wasn’t satisfied… she came too quickly. “Ag-again, please?” she softly begged, rubbing her hips back against her Twilight’s face. “Again? My, my… someone’s addicted to me,” Twilight teased, but a questionable smile crested her face as an idea popped in her head. “You know what…. I… I know I’m pretty much clean, but… you could pretend you’re cleaning me out too.” “I… I d-don’t know… t-that’s…” she stammered awkwardly. Her cheeks couldn’t get any redder as she, looked down and imagined her head right up next to those purple petals. “…what’s it like… to lick another mare?” “It’s like this.” Twilight grinned and gave a few hard licks between those folds. “Hehe, it’s nice… and warm. It’s like trying to eat the last bit of food out of a bowl with your tongue.” Dawny gulped a little as she craned her head over, her muzzle so close to Twilight’s marehood. The vine cleaning the mare out had retreated, content with letting the two ponies have their fun for now. The musky smell in the air was barely noticeable now, replaced by the inviting scent coming from the alicorn’s sex. She could feel the heat radiating off it from here. Carefully, Dawny licked that sensitive, winking nub. It was almost like licking an ice cream cone, but one that tastes of her purple pony’s female goodness. Surprisingly there wasn’t any trace of goo on her, just pure pony. “S-so…” Dawny paused between licks. “I know we can’t, like, be dating or something cause… umm… you know,” she said, not wanting to bring up the obvious age difference. “But, like… why can’t we just do this whenever we need each other? I mean…. I… love you… and what other filly would be cool with doing… well… all of this?” Dawny finished and focused on her meal in front of her, dipping her tongue inside and wiggling it around like and eel. By the way Twilight legs twitched, she felt like she was doing something right. “O-oh Dawny~” Twilight couldn’t help but softly moan as her legs closed around the filly’s head, squishing her face in deeper. “Mmm… I… I would be happy too…” she said and dived back into those delicious little bits she had been staring at the entire time. Dawny squeaked out in delight as she sloppily tended to her mare. She had no idea what she was doing, but tried copying Twilight’s techniques and it seemed to be working. However, there seemed to be one creature still left out from this party. Dawny flipped her tail onto her back, revealing her tightly puckered button to anyone else that wanted to join. Happily, Dawny felt the vines moving in and slowly coiling them together again. She could see a large vine coming in near her head, floating down until it touched and rubbed up against the alicorn’s other entrance. Even though she knew it was coming, Dawny still gasped in surprise when she felt the warm tendril touch down on her own rear. “Best princess,” Dawny moaned out when she felt the vine press and slide right into their warm little hiding place. Even though her holes still felt tight, that goo lubed everything up enough to never have any issues. The filly cooed lustfully into the air, feeling a delightful sense of fullness once more, but humourous idea stirred in her horny mind. “H-hey…” Dawny giggled slightly. “…so are you like my sex-ed teacher till I graduate school now?” “Mmm… I like the sound of that,” Twilight purred out and her legs started to clamp down on the filly’s head once more. “And you’d both get an A+,” she confidently said, mostly feeling the deep, pleasurable thrusts of the vine in her rear; Dawny was trying too. Dawny panted hard as her tongue lapped either side of that pink valley. She wasn’t really too sure how to properly handle Twilight’s clit, but she loved when she got her tongue in enough to feel it being squeezed by the mare’s inner walls. It felt like it was tightening up in quicker bursts the longer she held her tongue there. Though, it was hard to do a good job when Twilight was bringing her to the edge, and the vine ramming her butt was pushing her over. Dawny shut her eyes tightly, sensuously calling out Twilight’s name as she came weakly into the mare’s maw. At first, Dawny had a dopey expression on her face. But Twilight’s legs clamped down, squishing Dawny’s muzzle into that crevice as the alicorn succumbed to that last bit of pleasure. After inhaling a shot of mare cum, the filly was send into a coughing fit as she fought for air, and thunder thighs wasn’t letting go. She could feel Twilight still wriggling around in delight, even rubbing her little grey rump. She didn’t want to, but panic rose with the lack of air and teeth grabbed onto whatever they could. “Ow!” Twilight yelped, her legs finally releasing the filly from the wet doom. “Dawny? Are you ok?” Twilight said as she wiggled around and loosened the vines holding them. Dawny took a big gulp of air and coughed out the naughtiness still in her airway. “Y-yea… now I am…” She coughed a few more times into her hoof. “…that was so good,” Dawny said with a smile, finally feeling pretty satisfied, and thanking Celestia that her tombstone wasn’t going to read ‘Died by Twilight’s thighs’. “Mmm… yes it was…” Twilight said as her horn lit up and easily rotated Dawny on her belly until they were face to face. The vines easily followed along, opting to stay buried deep inside the filly’s rear instead of pulling out. “Umm… s-sorry for not letting you go, it… just was a little… intense…” Twilight said with a tight hug and giggled as she looked over their two bodies. “Hehe, we’re never going to get clean at this rate.” Dawny smirked a little bit at that and nuzzled up against her pony. It felt nice getting hugged like a plush toy from her favorite princess, but still a little awkward knowing that earlier they were having a screaming match. “S-so… umm... like, c-can you explain what our relationship even is now?” Dawny softly whispered. “I uhh…” Twilight stuttered, trying to take in all that was happening, which was probably so off the relationship book that it only could have been conceived of by a crazy pony. “It… I think it’s a little complicated, wouldn’t you think?” she said with an awkward smile. “I mean… I would probably get called some bad things for doing all this with you. But… I guess secret pony friend lovers maybe? With an added bit of giant plant vine thing on the side… or, hehe…” She wiggled her rump around and shook Dawny’s with a hoof, “in the rear.” Dawny’s cheeks blazed red, being reminded of the vine still in her butt by the princess who had just happily eaten her out. But Dawny must have been crazy too as she suddenly smiled and giggled at the delightful absurdity. “O-ok… t-thanks…” she said sweetly and giving Twilight a kiss on the cheek. “I promise to be absolutely quiet about this… unless either you or Carrous are making me scream,” Dawny said as seductively as she could. “Oh I think there will be a lot of that, hehe,” Twilight giggled, moving in to finally kiss Dawny on her normal lips. They could hear Carrous call out from above, “I would like that as well.” Dawny’s heart raced a little she kissed her marefriend’s lips. Her smile was full and wide when she pulled away, looking into her love’s eyes. “S-so, how do this secret dating work? Like I know you get busy and stuff, but on your down time we can go out and like… do stuff? What do I even tell my mom?” Twilight smiled and curled her hooves around the filly’s small frame. “Hmm… I guess we can go out and do things, but… maybe don’t tell your mom about us though… tell her, umm…. that I’m taking you for flying lessons or teaching you stuff.” She smirked and seductively added, “Teaching you stuff during our own special Twilight time.” “I promise that no pony will know,” Dawny said with a blush as they nuzzled once more. Although the responsibility of having a hidden sexual partner seemed a lot, Twilight smiled hearing that their naughty secret was safe. Dawny rested there for a little while, until she perked up again and licked Twilight’s lips. “So… how can I pleasure you, your highness?” Twilight smiled and put her wings against the filly’s sides. “Mmm… I don’t know. I thought you did a pretty good job down there, my sweet little filly.” Dawny’s cheeks flushed red from the promiscuous praise. “I… I never did that before.” “I didn’t think you would have, hehe,” Twilight giggled as she stroked along Dawny’s sides with her wingtips. “But you did a fine job. Did you like it… like, hehe… me?” Dawny nodded happily and squirmed around from the tickling wings. “I-I loved it!” “Mmm… I liked your little… f-fillyhood too,” Twilight said and looked away with and embarrassed blush. It still sounded so wrong to her, yet strangely, so right. Dawny frowned a little and hugged her mare’s neck. “…why do you always look away wh-when saying stuff like that? Y-you said it’s ok to enjoy your desires…” Twilight’s eyes came back to meet Dawny’s and her purple cheeks only turned redder. “W-well… I like it, but it’s still embarrassing to say… even to you…” “Well… uh... I don’t think it’s too bad… right? I mean… I don’t know,” Dawny said with a huff, not knowing how to make it seem better. “…it felt really nice to feel Carrous cum through us.” “That was certainly different,” Twilight said with a small smile. “Quite fascinating feeling all the goo rushing around. Heh, I was afraid we were going to explode suddenly at the end there though.” Dawny giggled and nodded, “It hurt to be honest, but I had a lot of fun!” She thought back to that rush of warmth flowing through her in that final moment. But something else popped into her mind. “Wait… stallions cum like Carrous, right?” “Correct,” Twilight said with a nod. “W-well… not as extreme as Carrous. They certainly don’t produce anywhere near that volume. But yes… if pleasured like one of the vines, they will achieve orgasm. Although, if they do it inside your vagina, you’re probably going to get pregnant.” “Ok… but like, where does cum… come from?” Dawny pressed. “Well on stallions, it comes from their testicles,” Twilight easily explained; she had read all the books. “They’re two ball shaped things under their tails. That’s what makes it. On Carrous though…” she said, thinking for a bit with a hoof to her chin. “I… I don’t really know.” Dawny’s eyes fluttered curiously, as she looked up at the ceiling of vines. Twilight was intrigued as well and looked up. The room was silent for a moment before Carrous finally caught the hint. “O-oh… well, hmm… I’m not too sure on the details, but my appendages seem to store and produce their own supply of secretions. When I orgasm it must… all shoot out at once.” “…what…” Dawny blinked in confusion. “…aren’t you… the vine themselves? Shouldn’t you know?” Carrous just gave an unsure, “uhhh…” Twilight’s giggle a bit, “Dawny, even though Carrous is the vines, doesn’t mean it knows how it works. Did you know how your body all worked before someone told you?” The revelation blew her mind. “…huh…” was all Dawny could manage to say, pondering that wisdom. Twilight ruffled up Dawny mane with a hoof, giggling after just breaking a filly’s mind. “Hehe, see!” Dawny had a lot of questions about her body, and she knew the purple nerd would be happy to answer them. But before she could say anything, Twilight was looking around the room a bit and spoke up, “Well… I think we should get you cleaned up and then get going. Don’t want your mom to be worried about you again.” For some reason, Dawny nodded solemnly at that eventual ending she knew would happen. “Ok… but, could I umm… sleep over at your place tonight? Just once?” Then a brilliant idea popped in her head, “Or maybe we could sleep over here tonight! We wouldn’t even have to walk back! And if my mom asks, just say I got tuckered out studying with you, and instead of waking me up you thought you’d be nice and let me sleep over.” “We’re going to have to tell your mom,” Twilight said, loving the idea that Dawny wanted to stay with her for the night but still had to face reality. “I’m pretty sure she would be a little scared if you didn’t tell her where you were going.” “Yea… I guess my mom would be a little worried. But as far as she knows, I’m never, ever coming back here… so… yea…” Dawny said scratching her chin to remember what the last thing she told her mom was. “She probably thinks I’m still at Sweetie Belle’s anyways.” “Well, when I go over and tell your mom the story about flying lessons and studying and getting sleepy. You…” Twilight said with a firmer voice. “Go talk to Sweetie Belle so she doesn’t go say something that can break all of this for you.” Dawny gulped and nodded shakily, realizing just what she could lose now. “O-ok… I promise…” she said submissively kissing Twilight’s chin. “Good,” Twilight said in final agreement. She looked up at the small mass in the corner. “Ok Carrous, can you let us over to the shallow part to get cleaned up again?” The vines started to move them over to the shallow end, letting Twilight sit up against the edge. Casually, Twilight grabbed onto Dawny’s tail and generously pulled it back and out of the way for an approaching vine. Dawny shivered when she felt the vine touch her fillyhood. She bit her lip in anticipation, “I-it’s ok to clean me now, C-Carrous,” she said meekly and gripping onto Twilight’s fur as she felt the vine press into her folds once more. “O-oh Twilight~” she softly whispered, feeling the vine sink deep inside her, curling up into a ball and pulling all the slippery goo out manually. It was enough to make her pant a little, but it was casual enough that she could still think. “Mmm… s-so I was thinking…” Dawny purred. “Maybe later we could try something together… anything… but, j-just you and me? Carrous can uh… watch? Plus, is there anything else we can do besides lick each other?” Twilight thought for a bit. “Well I don’t really do this that often, but I do have a few books on the subject. We could rub our vaginas together, use hooves, or um… toys,” she said with a small blush at that last part, even though there wouldn’t be anything coming close to the naughtiness within these tunnels. “S-so… like stick a Celestia toy in your marehood?” Dawny said curiously, having no idea what toys actually meant, but thought of another tangent. “And… mmm… why are Celestia toys pink? Shouldn’t they be white?” The picture of a pink dildo with Celestia’s face on it came to mind and the mare blushed hard. “Uh… the ponies making them must be… um… quite silly. But it’s not those kinds of toys, more… like Carrous’s vines. For when a mare is alone or has other mare friends.” “Oooh…” Dawny nodded and moved her hips back and forth in tandem with the cleaning vine. “But that sounds boring when you can just have… C-Carrous~” she squeaked out as all the vines pulled away from any sensitive places. “Mmm… I love you b-both~” “I love you too,” they both said at the same time. Twilight looked up at the mass and awkwardly blushed from doing that. “Hehe, you’re both silly,” Dawny said as she slowly slid off into the water and wiggled up onto land with a little help from Twilight’s magic. Besides feeling a little sore and tried back there, it practically felt squeaky clean once more. She finally stood up on her wobbly legs, and gave a pleading look to her marefriend. “If we’re going to head back, m-may I ride your back? Please?” Twilight came ashore too, shaking a bit of water off her fur and nodded. “Alright, but this time… please don’t get my fur, uh… wet. And no jumping on my horn!” Dawny could still flutter onto Twilight’s back and whisper into the mare’s ear teasingly, “No promises.” Twilight’s face turned crimson again but she still held her composure. “Carrous… c-could you bring us to the entrance?” The vines started to mobilize once more, coiling and holding onto both ponies, but were quite careful to not get them dirty in the slightest. Dawny just laid down like the tired filly she was, burying herself in Twilight’s soft mane. Really, whatever shampoo she was using must really be working. The lazy train started to quickly pick up speed as they started to fly down the tunnel. Dawny held on tightly, whimpering a little when the ride was going too fast. Even with her face practically covered, she still caught a glimpse of Carrous’s main room as they hurled by. Soon enough though, their transport slowed down and dropped them off presumably near the big boulder at the entrance; though Dawny couldn’t see a thing in this darkness. Twilight seemed to solve that problem, lighting up her horn when she felt Dawny slowly slip off and onto the ground. “Hold on…” Dawny said as she held onto Twilight’s hoof. “I want to say something special.” Dawny looked around, smiling up at her marefriend in awe. But Dawny’s eyes started to wander. To the boulder. Back to Twilight. The romantic quip Dawny had been working on slinked to the back of her mind when she focused on the hoof she was holding. She stared at it. Was it all worth it? Trade everypony for… one pony… for Twilight? “Umm...” Dawny awkwardly mumbled as she looked up once more. The awe was gone and there was some nervousness again in her features. “H-how long would we be like… special friends again?” Twilight bit her lip, feeling like she’d have to be careful how she answered. “I… I think that we’ll be special friends for a good long while Dawny.” “That’s the thing. How long is that?” Dawny asked cautiously. “W-well… a lot can happen in a long time Dawny,” Twilight said. She knew the right thing to say would have been forever, but really, no pony could say something like that for certain. “You could move, or begin to like somepony else in the future. We may go our separate ways or stay together. It’s all a mystery until it happens.” Dawny’s face wasn’t filled with confidence hearing that. She let go of the alicorn’s hoof and sat down to think. “So… we may just move on? Love other ponies? And then… just not do this?” She shook her head for a moment before chuckling a little. “We both know my mother would never leave. I doubt anypony does after being with Carrous.” “I... I just don’t know…” The filly rubbed her forehooves together and sighed. “I loved everything that happened, but…” she made a tiny sniff. “I just don’t know if any of what you said means anything since you already lied to me… a few times…” Twilight frowned after that truthful sting, seeing how Dawny just wanted to be part of her life. “D-Dawny… w-we…” she started as she held onto the filly with one of her wings. “We’ll just have to take it one day at a time. You know I like you, but if you think I’m lying there’s not really anyway I can prove it besides time.” Dawny took a deep breath, and a smile crested her face once more. “Ok. Thank you for that… I feel ok now.” Dawny leaned up on the tips of her hooves and kissed Twilight’s cheek. “But you know, if we are heading back, I was curious if I could come see your place too, instead of coming right back here.” “I’ll give you the full tour,” Twilight said happily, but suddenly her ears perked up as an idea popped into her head and she shouted down the tunnels. “Hey Carrous, do you have any spare rooms in here that could be just ours?! If you do can you get one ready for us when we get back?!” They could barely hear a response from so far away, but it sounded like a yes with the grin on Twilight’s face. “Hehe, now we got our own private place down here too!” “Erm… th-that’s nice…” Dawny said with an awkward blush. “Haha… too bad this whole place wasn’t just for you and me… that’d be… really, really cool.” “And leave all the other ponies outside from ever coming in here? I think some may consider that pretty greedy,” Twilight said and playfully flicked Dawny right on the nose with her tail. “But this place is so big that we would never have to run into another pony if we didn’t want to… I might even be able to make a portal from Ponyville, right into our special little room here.” “You make it sound like you want to just here live with me,” Dawny giggled and stuck her tongue out playfully. “It’s more of a vacation house,” Twilight said as she tried licking Dawny’s tongue, making the filly squeak adorably as she dodged out of the way. “It’ll be a nice little retreat, and be a little more discrete.” “It’s just a shame that we couldn’t be more open instead of hiding this away,” Dawny said and Twilight started to frown, looking like she was going to say the same warning over again. “But!” Dawny quickly continued, “Like, you’re a princess. It wouldn’t be wrong if you did it… cause, well… you’re a princess! You set the example for other ponies! Like… like a superhero!” Dawny continued fluttering her wings confidently, remembering how ponies flocked to the Mare-Do-Well stories. “Heh, I would love to… but… I’m still not the most important figurehead around” Twilight said. “The other two princesses…” She blushed and glanced away. “If they found out… it would be off to the moon with me.” Dawny looked to be only half paying attention. If she was dating once princess already, the thought of doing that with the other rulers let her mind wander to the endless possibilities. She could feel her heart flutter imagining stealing a kiss from Celestia herself. “Heh… haha, y-yea,” Dawny said awkwardly when she noticed Twilight was staring. “They’d never want to try anything with a filly…” “Hehe, do you need to go see Carrous again? It’s already been like a whole ten minutes,” Twilight teased. “N-no!” Dawny said defensively, quickly shaking her head but avoiding eye contact at all costs. “I wasn’t thinking anything. Nope, nothing at all ha… haha... l-let’s go…” Twilight rolled her eyes at the silly little filly as her horn started to glow brighter and with a flash the two ponies were standing in the light of the evening sun on the other side of the boulder. Dawny wobbled around uneasily after the sudden teleportation, still not getting use to that odd feeling. But she got over it quickly enough to see the alicorn wincing and grabbing onto her horn. “O-ow…” the alicorn muttered. “Wanna go home and just rest at your place after seeing my mom?” Dawny sounded worried as they moved further away from the boulder. “I… I could make you some special soup to make you feel better too!” “It’s… fine Dawny. It’ll be better in the morning,” Twilight said as her horn lit up again, and the boulder as well. “Happens all the time,” she said with a strained face and with a great, earthy crack the boulder started to roll free. It quickly sped up as it rolled down and vanished into the forest, taking a few trees with it. Twilight’s horn had a few magic sparks sputtering out. “Ow… t-there… all done…” she said as she grabbed her head again in pain. “Twilight! That could have waited!” Dawny sounded like a huffy mother as she looked disapprovingly at the princess. “Gosh, you are going to hurt yourself, or give yourself a migraine if you keep it up!” “N-no, it’s fine… it’s open now,” Twilight said with a little bit of annoyed stubbornness. “Though I don’t think I can use any more magic. L-let’s just get back home and get this done,” she said as they started walking up the stairs to the side of the tunnel. Dawny frowned a little, not wanting her Twilight to keep straining herself like that. “I love you Twilight.” She said with a cutesy little squeak. “I love you too Dawny.” It didn’t take long until they were back on the well-traveled road heading to town. Dawny held onto her princess’s hoof the whole way, unable to stop blushing. It was official, she was dating Twilight Sparkle. “S-so umm… what other kinky stuff do you think is possible to do?” Dawny said in a low whisper as she traveled towards her house. Twilight eyes went wide for a moment as she looked around to see if any pony heard, but luckily it seemed the no pony was really around right now. “W-well… I don’t know how much kinkier it gets that what we just did but… I have some very… explicit books, if you want to read them together.” Dawny smirked a little; a perfect date with the purple book horse. But for right now they had to part ways once they were in sight of her house. It would be kind of hard to explain that she was sleeping at Twilight’s place if she was standing right beside Twilight. The filly’s confident smile held on her face as she trotted off to find Sweetie Belle. She had everything she could ever want right now and she couldn’t wait to actually spend a night with her Twilight. Daydreaming about the future as she walked she didn’t even realize she was already standing in front of Rarity’s suddenly menacing looking door. She could feel her confidence shrivel up at the thought of knocking and actually confronting Sweetie Belle. “Eh… I’ll just tell her I did it! What’s the worst that could happen? Right?” she said softly under her breath, turning tail and running all the way to Twilight’s door. > Chapter 6 - An Ominous Glow in the Distance > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawny had rushed over to Twilight’s and unsurprisingly, the mare wasn’t there to meet her. Really, the only pony around at this time was Frozen Crispy, the late night ice cream vendor who continued down the road and into the night, delivering delicious treats to any who were around. Dawny shook her head at the temptation; sadly, she was lacking any bits. She reached Twilight’s door and there was a note stuck right to it. Curiously, she grabbed the note and read it to herself, “Dear Twilight, we need to talk about a certain closure. We know it was you… signed, The Gardening Club? …What…” Dawny had no idea what that was, maybe Twilight had committed a perennial infraction? Either way, she put the note under her wing for later as she entered the public library. The room was faintly lit, and a loud snoring came from upstairs. Someone was definitely here and it wasn’t her Twilight. Dawny gulped as she gently eased the door shut, feeling a shiver run down the back of her neck. Slowly she made her way to the kitchen. The sound was coming from upstairs so there was time to prepare. She peeked through a couple of doors, barely spotting some candles in the dark room. Fluttering over to one of the closest candles she placed her wing right up against the tip, grunting as she swished her wing over the wick. “Darn it… how is my mom always so good at this?” A few more fast swipes over the wick, and it finally lit from the friction. “Yay!” Dawny squeaked out; proud that she didn’t catch her wing on fire like last time. Now that she could actually see, she started searching through the cupboards and drawers. A metal colander was a perfect fit as an armoured helmet. There as just one more thing missing. “A-ha!” she said, grabbing onto a wooden ladle. With her mighty weapon in hoof, she carefully tip toed up the stairs to stop the snoring evil-doer and save Princess Twilight! Show her she was a worthy knight in shining armour. The snoring was getting louder and louder with every step. She could feel her heart beating in anticipation, getting ready to smack the sleepy assassin. She jumped into the room and there it was, just lying there, one leg draped over the basket it was in. The purple dragon was peacefully sleeping right in front of Twilight’s bed. Dawny stood there awkwardly, feeling a little dumb for almost clobbering Twilight’s… pet? Roommate? What was he? She didn’t know, but stared at Twilight’s unique companion thinking about that for a little longer than she probably should have. The door opening downstairs shook those thoughts right from her. Her Twilight was here! She turned and glided down the stairs, landing right by the alicorn. “Twilight!” she squeaked out. “Ah!” Twilight jumped in surprise “O-oh… that was quick. I wasn’t expecting you back so soon and… wearing my...” She paused as she looked the battle ready filly over. Dawny just blushed realizing the cookware she had on and slowly took the colander off of her head. “I needed it. Trust me,” she said sheepishly. Her attempted good deeds would have to go unnoticed. Thus was the burden of a hero. “Right…” Twilight skeptically said but ignored it as she looked around the room cautiously. “Anyways, your mother was ok with you staying the night, although she was a bit worried since you missed dinner. How was Sweetie Belle’s?” “It… was scary, but ok,” Dawny said vaguely and her stomach growled out. Twilight heard it too and Dawny quickly stammered, “Plea-Please don’t feed me!” The alicorn tilted her head in confusion. “I’ve heard how well you cook. They say that you once made soup and a creature jumped out and hugged your face!” “What?!” Twilight said defensively, “I can cook just fine. Where would you ever hear something like that?” “All the kids at school think you can’t even make a sandwich without making something horrific.” “It’s not that bad…” Twilight mumbled as Dawny mention something about a soufflé attacking Spike. “I mean sometimes spells and food create some strange things, but, heh, I think those are just rumors.” Twilight smirked and put her hoof around Dawny, talking in a hushed tone right into the filly’s ear. “So… maybe you want to go grab a nice gooey snack from Carrous to fill you right up?” Dawny bit her lip and nodded sheepishly as her stomach growled. “Can that really make me not hungry?” Twilight blushed just thinking about it. “W-well… has it ever came and, umm… filled you?” she said, awkwardly glancing around like anypony could be near; even Spike wasn’t more than thirty feet away. “Yea, once. And it looked like I was pregnant” Dawny said with a silly little smile as she tried to stick her tummy out and rub it. Unlike Twilight she wasn’t speaking so quietly. “So, if that goo feeds you, then why don’t some ponies just like… live there?” “I guess a pony could,” Twilight said as she rested a hoof on her chin to contemplate the science. “It is rich enough of a substance to sustain creatures quite well. But, I don’t think anypony could handle being underground with just one other being for so long, even if it felt great all the time. Ponies do have lives outside of the caves too.” Dawny playfully stuck out her tongue. “I wouldn’t mind living there with you~” she said, winking as seductively as she could. Twilight giggled a little into her hoof. “Aww Dawny, you’re so cute.” She smirked and motioned towards the door. “Y-you want to get back so we can get some… uh… hehe… ‘food’ in you?” The filly grabbed her tummy and gave a small nod. “I’m so ready for dinner. B-but… could I um…” She inched closer, glancing at the mare’s lips. “Get a kiss from you right in your home?” “I uh…” the mare said as she cautiously looked around, making sure nopony was there before giving her a quick peck on the lips. “T-there!” she stammered hoping that it would sate the filly for now, but the way she sounded, who knows where else she’d try in the future. Dawny gave a happy little whinny hugging onto her mare, happy with her whole world. If this was a technicolour cartoon, she’d have melted into a puddle of joy. But this wasn’t. It was real life, their real life. Slowly the two looked into each other’s eyes, glancing at the door. It was time to go. Twilight nibbled on the filly’s ears, leading her along until they were out and flying up into the night’s sky. Nopony would have been able to see them in as they flew in the darkness, heading back to the caves. That night would be one the filly would remember for a long time. The hours flew by during that night of bonding and by the time they were done, she had no idea what day it even was by that point. School was the last thing on her mind, but luckily she had only missed one day’s classes. It didn’t help that she was tried and exhausted the next morning too. All she wanted to do was just sleep through her boring classes, but Cheerilee kept calling her out on that. Some ponies were even giving her some weird glances, acting a little nervous around her: Sweetie Belle and her friends. But Dawny didn’t care in the slightest; she had her Twilight to go back to right after school was over. By the time Dawny finally made to the library, Twilight seemed to have a very elaborate lesson plan in place for her. It was enough to make her groan at the very idea of doing more homework right after school. Though, Twilight was quick to change her mind as soon as the lesson started. The mare was a lot more hooves-on, and magic-on, and that-thing-under-her-bed-on than any teacher she had before. Twilight time was certainly changing her attitude towards learning over the next few days. And Twilight seemed to change a little too, when they were lying up against each other for a couple of hours. It wasn’t a bad change; it just felt different being so comfortable in silence while Twilight pet her for the longest time. Her days at school were unwelcome, but she managed to get through the week even if all the ponies were looking at her weirdly and were whispering about an evil creature behind her back. Even Cheerilee had stopped calling her out, even when she drifted off in thought about tonight’s activities. She hoped she would be ready for that practical exam on those books Twilight had been reading to her every night and thoroughly testing. By the end of the week Twilight was starting to look a little more frazzled and eager to unwind after whatever issues were plaguing her earlier in the day. To the benefit of both ponies, Twilight even managed to construct a small portal to and from their special room in the caves. When the weekend evening had finally hit, Dawny was eager to head over for tonight’s Twilight time. She knew the streets in front of the library were sometimes busy, but this mob of ponies standing in front of the door was ridiculous. Many of them were carrying pitchforks, shovels and a whole other host of tools, looking like they were going to do some serious gardening. Dawny’s eyes widened as she remembered the letter from a week ago and quickly ran back home to grab it and get some answers. Quickly enough, she was back to the crowd of rabbling ponies and excused herself as she tried pushing through the sea of bodies. The crowd easily moved but slowly started to turn silent as they noticed her, almost looking at her like she was a hurt bird. The uneasiness made her hurry up and get to the alicorn’s door as fast as possible. She gulped as she opened the door and looked at the crowd staring back at her. “M-mom?!” she whispered in shock when she caught a glance of the mare standing in the mob. Quickly she closed the door and there was Twilight looking like a disheveled, nervous wreck right now. “T-Twilight? Wha-What’s going on?” she stuttered, not even being able to swallow with that worrying feeling in her tummy. The shaking mare tried a breathing exercise but it didn’t seem to help, so Dawny tightly held onto Twilight’s hoof, hoping that she could make her feel better somehow. “W-well… as you probably know by now. Everypony knows of what Carrous did to you and well… they’re not too happy about it,” Twilight started to say as angry shouts in the crowd about Carrous and monster could be heard. “Actually, they are furious.” She looked away and sniffed before looking back to Dawny as a tear rolled down her cheek. “D-Dawny… they’re planning to destroy Carrous!” The filly’s jaw dropped, as did her heart. “Wai-wait, no! I… I lied!” Dawny shouted as she leapt up in a panic. “Did they find downstairs? Tell me they didn’t find the way downstairs!” she blurted out as she took off running and jumped down the stairs, swooping down and right through the basement portal. “Staph!” Dawny cried as soon as she was out on the other side, hoping to stop the mob of ponies she expected to be there. But besides the sprawling vines in her special room, nopony was around. “Stop what Dawny?” Carrous asked, blissfully unaware of the dangers ahead. Dawny let out a relieved sigh as she landed daintily onto her hooves. “Carrous, are any ponies coming through the entrance?! Can you hide?!” she said, peering through the long tunnel ahead and hoping that everything was calm. Carrous sounded a little confused. “Umm… I don’t know what kind of game you want to play. But I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I can’t really move around all very well.” The vines however were starting to come closer to her, eager to start playing a more familiar game. “And nopony is around either, just the two of us.” Dawny double face hoofed before trying to shoo away the vines with a hoof. “No wait! Carrous, I… I lied, and now and angry mob is going to come through this portal and destroy you!” Dawny blurted out, earning a surprised gasp from the creature. “Can you just pull all your vines away and… and I’ll try to talk them down? Ok?” “I… I could do that...” Carrous started to say as a few of the vines started to slither out and down towards the main room she had spent most of her time here in. “B-but why would they-“ “Ok! Now stay here!” Dawny cut the creature off as she looked back at the portal hoping it wasn’t too late, picturing the mob breaking down Twilight’s door and heading right for here. “Awe horsefeathers,” she cursed as ran for the portal again. “Y-yea… I don’t really have anywhere else to go right now-“ Carrous replied as Dawny jumped right back thorough the portal. “…and you’re gone…” “Twilight!” she yelled as soon as she was on the other side. She ran up the stairs desperately searching for the mare and hoping there wasn’t a wall of ponies in her way. The purple alicorn was in the main room, looking forlorn as she stared through the window. “Twilight?” she hesitantly asked, noticing that it was a lot quieter right now. The loud shouts from the outside mob were completely gone. “Come on Twilight!” She grabbed the mare’s hoof. “We can go and stop this. I promise! Please, come along!” She offered a reassuring smile even though she was deeply worried on the inside. The mare sighed and looked away. “I… I can’t let them see me defending Carrous…” she said meekly, thinking about how bad it would look if she was defending a filly fiddling creature like that. Even Dawny’s mother was on the mob’s side. “Just… just admit that you made me lie!” Dawny said. “Listen… I was really angry that Carrous violated me, and I… I was naïve! I was so focused on getting revenge, but now I know that it’s wrong to lie to get what you want... you should’ve learned that… my mom didn’t…” she grumbled under her breath at that last part. The filly peeked out of the window a little and the mob was nowhere to be found. Her fears were starting to happen seeing an ominous glow in the distance heading into the forest. “Come on!” Dawny said in a panic as she tugged at the mare’s hoof and finally got her to budge a little. “If we just go and say that you made me lie, I’ll tell them the truth, that I loved it. That wouldn’t look so bad, right?” Twilight looked unsure about the whole thing, but went along with it in theory. However, there was something that still wasn’t right. “But Dawny… Carrous did do those things to you,” Twilight stated. “You didn’t lie about that.” “Uh... erm, yea?” the filly stammered. “Ok, that’s true… b-but, um… I can lie about that!” She tugged the mare’s hoof a few more times to get her to hurry up. “What’s worse? You supporting a filly getting violated, or you making a child lie? Come on! This is more than just Carrous here. It’s about both of you. And I’m going to protect both of you, cause… cause I love both of you!” Twilight’s head drooped but she nodded along in thought. “Alright! Alright! Let’s go…” she finally said, walking a little more confidently down the stairs and to the portal. “This… this is crazy through…” “Yea, well, we’re all crazy,” Dawny said they went through the portal together. “We need to hurry before they get inside the tunnels!” Dawny said as she glided down the dark passage as soon as they were out. Twilight was galloping along, easily keeping pace as they raced to save the day. It actually brought a smirk to her face from the nostalgia, like she was doing this with her friends. But this was Dawny, and this was her mission. Their special room was deep inside the earth and quite a distance away from the main room. It was a lot easier when Carrous was carrying them both where ever they wanted to go. Dawny just hoped they could make it in time. “S-so… I’ll say that that you made me lie… and um… what will you say?” “I… I don’t know!” Twilight said, trying to think on the move. “I… I could explain the misunderstanding. Or maybe, we could just do what we were previously planning and seal the cave off? Put up a sign and make this place a sanctuary?” The mare started to smile a bit, feeling a little more hopeful in a plan that was more than trying to talk down an angry mob. Dawny frowned a little, remembering how much of a battle that caused between the two of them and how it almost tore them apart. But she kept on gliding, feeling like they were getting closer to the main room. “What’s the Gardening Club all about?” “It’s a group of influential and some normal ponies who use Carrous. Like a committee,” Twilight said casually, not thinking much of it since most ponies knew about it anyways. “Why? Where’d you hear of it?” “W-well here I-“ Dawny said as she looked for the letter under her wing but it was gone. “Oh… I must have dropped it.” She shrugged. “There was some kind of letter thingy on your door and I forgot to tell you. But I brought it over today when I remembered about it.” “What?! You took my mail?” Twilight said as she looked at the filly with a bit of annoyance. “I didn’t take your mail!” Dawny defended. “It was on your door, and I was curious, so I had to pull it down to read it! Then uh… I read it! Then, erm… put it under my wing and forgot… about it… and didn’t tell you.” Dawny blushed finally realizing her mistake. “S-sorry!” “Well… if it was from them it doesn’t matter now,” Twilight said calmly. “I forgive you.” “Wait… why doesn’t it matter? And if there are influential ponies there, were you not one of them?” Dawny questioned. “They were kind of against me for wanting the cave closed, or to protect it,” Twilight explained. “It’s was just a group of ponies, but that kind of went out the window this week. They were a pro-Carrous group, but now they disbanded and well… some are probably coming here for the exact opposite reasons right now.” All the ponies that were suddenly turning Carrous like that almost made Dawny’s eyes want to well up. “…I still love you and Carrous. If I had any doubts in my mind, I would have been happy crusading on like in the beginning. But I…” The filly let out a pained sigh, “…I was wrong about Carrous.” Twilight gave a small smile as they were reaching the main room. “It’s ok, Carrous knows we both love it too. Now it’s time to protect it.” They didn’t talk as they navigated down the dark passage towards the exit. Even in the dark, Twilight could still navigate the caves surprisingly well, knowing exactly where she was going. Dawny had to stop and trot beside the alicorn, not really liking the idea of blindly flying into a wall. The route there had significantly fewer vines going to the exit; Carrous had most of the vine bundled up against the already enormous mass. When they arrived at the entrance they could already hear the angry sound of the mob yelling and rabbling out in the distance. Twilight’s demeanor changed instantly, her voice sounded like it was ready for a fight. “They’re here.” Dawny’s heart pounded in her chest hearing those chilling sounds getting closer. Nighttime was fast approaching, but the darkness was quickly pushed back from the orange and red hues of burning torches. “I w-wanna take all the blame for this that I can… I-I don’t want you to be punished…” Dawny softly mumbled under her breath. She could hear several hooves on the stone steps as they came down, pouring from the sides and started to form a group right in front of the entrance. They looked like they were going to charge right in, but were quickly taken aback by the princess standing in their way and giving them a look that made them think twice. Dawny’s jaw dropped. This was insane for the filly to stand against the entire town of Ponyville. She could see glimpses of their threatening tools and even some small bottles with rags sticking out from them. “Uh-uh-uh-uh…” she stammered, but unlike where she flopped in front of Sweetie’s home, she had Twilight there to steady her. The filly clutched Twilight’s hoof as tight as possible as she opened her mouth to speak. “P-ponies… p-please… d-don’t… hurt Carrous… I… I lied…” she said but nopony could hear her as they loudly rabbled on. Dawny’s ears folded back. It was no use. She stared at the dancing lights in front of her, the torches making it almost impossible to make out individuals. They all looked like one angry form. Twilight stomped her hoof on the ground and a magical flare shot out from her horn, exploding in the air above. The boom silenced everypony. Twilight spoke out in a voice that was almost built for this. “Ponies! This is not the way! Destroying Carrous is not the answer. Look at all of you coming here in anger, ready to charge up and fight a creature that this town has loved so much.” “Dawny, the filly you all know who was in here, the reason you are all up in arms. Listen to her! She doesn’t want this!” Twilight said, looking back at the filly and encouraging her to speak up with a little nudge. Dawny looked up at Twilight with wide eyes. How in the flipping hay was she supposed to match that?!? But the pegasus closed her eyes and took a deep breath, attempting a small breathing exercise that she was recently taught. “I-I lied… about being… w-well violated.” Dawny visibly shuddered as her eyes slowly started to open up. “I… only claimed Carrous did that s-so… so I could force Twilight into loving me… but, my lie… kinda got out… and that’s why you are all here.” Dawny somehow squeezed Twilight’s hoof even tighter as she continued, “Y-yes… Carrous took my virginity… b-but it was in no way bad because I really, really loved it… my lie has made Twilight a victim… Carrous a victim… and all of you victims to hate. And I apologize for being so… greedy… for trying to have everything.” The crowd murmured on, talking to each other. Some sounded like they were accepting it, but other angry voices were getting louder, sounding like they were turning the crowd back. Twilight seemingly calm and imposing state remained as she squeezed Dawny’s hoof back in kind. “I know some of you ponies are scared of Carrous now. It’s scared of you too! But fighting it is not the answer.” “I propose that we seal off the entrance to this cave. I’ve done it before, you all know that! Then nopony will be able to get in here, and nopony will ever be hurt by Carrous again!” Twilight said as she stomped her hoof down. The crowd just sat there in silence, looking purposeless now. The flames of the mob slowly died down as small murmurs started as they discussed amongst themselves. Dawny tried adding her meek two cents to things. “And, um... when I grow up, maybe… you can reopen it and see if she has learned anything from her timeout?” She bit her lip feeling like nopony really paid attention to that as she shuffled closer to Twilight. Some of the ponies in the crowd were heading to the stairs, looking like they really didn’t want to be here anymore. Though, most of the crowd remained, spectating now more than anything. Twilight walked to the side and guided Dawny along. Soon the alicorn’s horn started to light up as the same boulder from earlier started to come back through the forest with a purple glow around it. There weren’t any cheers of victory or boos of hate and disappointment, there was just a silence that filled everypony as one important piece of the town’s history was sealed off in front of their eyes. Soon another spell came from the alicorn as a purple half-dome started to grow off the boulder, the shield shimmering brightly for a moment before turning invisible. “P-please everypony… I’m sorry for using you all in a lie… a-and now you all hate Twilight because I lied and used her… this is all my fault… a-and I am the one to blame,” Dawny said to the remaining ponies in the crowd. But the disappointment lingering in the air sent a few more ponies walking towards the stairs, and the soon the others followed along. Dawny caught her mother’s eye as the mare left and the filly tried hiding behind Twilight, hoping that her mother somehow didn’t notice her through the entire speech. They hadn’t really spoken in the past week, being a lot more distant since she was over at Twilight’s house. Soon though, everypony was gone up the steps heading back to town, leaving the two of them in darkness now that all the torches were gone. Twilight just hung her head, looking about as disappointed as the crowd felt. Dawny slowly walked up to the alicorn and nuzzled against her cheek, “Is… is everything ok?” “Yea… now it is,” Twilight said with a grim smile as she turned towards the stairs. “Well… let’s get back to town then.” “But Twilight... Carrous is all ours, and you’re not hated,” Dawny said trying to smile back. “Yea, it’s all ours.” Twilight sighed. “It looks like it worked out in the end, though all those ponies are probably not going to be too happy for the next little while. I guess small sacrifices…” Dawny walked along and put her head against Twilight’s shoulder. “They didn’t seem to have a problem with us… being together either.” She looked up with hopeful eyes but Twilight still looked down. “I don’t think that was really on their mind right now,” Twilight said. ”But… I’m still wanting to keep this quiet… sorry Dawny.” It was hard to look at Twilight feeling so defeated, even if they technically won. Dawny looked at the mare and realized something. Something she never thought Twilight would need cause she’s a big pony. But, she had to try. Dawny jumped in front of Twilight’s path and leapt forward to hug her tightly. “It’s going to be ok…” she whispered, giving her mare the best mother to daughter like hug she could manage. Hoping it would bring some comfort and peace like it did when her own mother held her like this. The mare’s eyes couldn’t help but well up as she hugged back tightly for who knows how long. Dawny didn’t say a word as Twilight slowly breathed into her mane. Soon, Twilight was first to break the silence as she let out a big, shaky sigh of relief. “T-thank you Dawny…” she whispered, “I… I love you.” “I love you too,” Dawny replied as she stood back on her four hooves to see the princess smile once more. “You look your best when smiling,” she said as she smiled right back. “…wanna… go home? To my place? It’s not that far and you can relax there.” “I can finally make you that cheer up soup!” Dawny said as they trotted along. “And then we could relax… cuddle maybe… maybe even give you a nice massage?” Twilight smiled at the enticing proposal, “That sounds great.” The two trotted slowly back to the filly’s humble home. She even opened the door with the hidden key and showed Twilight exactly where it was in case she wanted to stop by anytime. She held open the door for her princess. “Welcome home, Twilight.” The filly’s quaint little home was much smaller than the giant tree library, but had a nice charm to it. The house was quiet and Dawny’s mother was either asleep, or at the very least, not in the house. But they still quietly snuck over to Dawny’s room. “Follow me to my royal bedroom your highness,” Dawny playfully offered, earning a muffled giggle from Twilight. Dawny quickly went in and lit up a lamp before sliding under the covers. She hoped Twilight didn’t notice how messy her room was with toys and plushies all over the place, or the fact that they would have to be sleeping extra close in this tiny bed. Twilight admired her filly’s own room, surprised that she hadn’t seen inside here yet, even though she totally shouldn’t have anyways. But her magic lit up as something caught her eye. “This…” Twilight said slowly, “Looks nothing like me.” The off-purple imitation for a princess toy floated in front of the real pony as she observed every little detail about it, especially how there was only a single cutie mark on only one of the toy’s flanks. “It’s part of a set…”Dawny mumbled, hoping that she didn’t see the other Elements of Harmony that were hiding about here somewhere, or the pink coated Celestia one. If only her mother could afford those better Build-A-Pony plushies. Twilight smirked as she set the toy down before lying down in the bed and nuzzling against her filly. It would be a close sleep, but neither of them looked opposed to that. “Um... c-could you put your w-wing over me?” Dawny asked cutely, looking up with her adorable little eyes. “Only if you do the same,” Twilight replied as her larger, alicorn wings curled around the filly’s small form and brought her in for a hug. Dawny internally d’aww’d at that request, but she had to do one last thing. She started to wiggle up, moving around a lot and being disturbing, but she had to do this. Something she always loved when her mother did it. She leaned down and kissed the goddess’s forehead. “Good night Twily,” she whispered softly as she wiggled back down, resting her chin on the alicorn’s chest as both her wings tired their best to hug the larger mare. “Good night… D-Dawn… -y,” Twilight quietly said as she laid there, almost getting too tired to register the cuteness. Her eyes fell shut, tightly cuddling Dawny on the tiny bed as she slowly drifted off to sleep, towards new days, new adventures, and new fun with her little filly friend.
