> Stellar Flare's Quest For Grandfoals > by DrySpell > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Fun Under The Sun > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A wave of nostalgia washed over Sunset as she walked the familiar cobblestone path. No matter where she looked, there was something that she remembered. Though much time had passed, the memories within them still held strong. She came to a stop at a bend in the path leading to her right. It was just coming into view now. A large, old brick house at the end of a road. Impressive, even by Canterlot standards. She swallowed hard, then continued down the path. The lawn was still as clean and well-kept as ever. The strong oak in the middle seemed smaller now that she was walking this path as an adult. She sighed as she passed it.  Despite her slow pace, she found herself standing in front of the large wooden door before long. She looked it over a few times, sizing it up like it was an enemy she had to conquer. Eventually, she got tired of waiting around and raised her hoof to the wood. A few heavy taps were all she gave it before backing up. There was a long quiet after her knock. Then, there was shuffling behind the door. After a few more seconds, there was a gasp, then the signature clicks of locks coming undone. In the next second, the door swung open. Behind it was a face beaming with happiness.  “Well hello, stranger.” Stellar Flare chuckled as she spoke. “What brings you around here?” “Hey, mom.” Sunset smiled. “I’m… home. Did you get my letter?” Stellar Flare backed out of the doorway, motioning for Sunset to follow her. She stepped through the door as she was told. “Yes, I did. I almost couldn’t believe it.” As Sunset entered the house, Stellar closed the door behind her. “You’re planning on staying for a while this time, right?”  “Yeah…” Being inside was an odd feeling. Nothing changed, but everything seemed different. The humongous couch in the living room to her right was now very average. She walked toward the fireplace which towered above her before. Now, she could almost see over it without even stretching. Along the top, there were photos she recognized. Baby pictures, her parent’s wedding photos, and even some more recent pictures. Near the end of the mantle, there was a newer picture she didn’t recognize. Somepony familiar wearing a cap and gown. “Oh, then we’ll have so much to talk about!” Sunset turned away and faced her mother again. She’d walked in the opposite direction, toward the dining room. From there, she slipped into the kitchen. “Maybe you can help me set the table for lunch, then we can talk?” “Yeah, okay.” She spared the picture a final glance before leaving the living room altogether. After a short walk, she was at her mother’s side. Stellar lifted a stack of plates in her magic and placed them on the table. “What’d you make?” “Potato Galette,” she said, levitating the dish out as she spoke. “I got the recipe from one of my friends. Her’s was quite tasty, so I’m excited to try it.” “Smells good.” Sunset levitated the plates to their respective places around the table. Without missing a beat, she set the forks and knives on either side of the plate. Finally, she finished it off with a cup next to each one. Looking at her handiwork, a sense of pride welled up in her chest. It had been years, but she hadn’t forgotten what she’d learned as a child. She looked over at her mother, who stood there watching her work. “What’s wrong?” “Oh, no. Nothing.” She smiled. “It’s… nice to see you again.” She chuckled and shook her head. “Hearing you want to stay is so nice. I can’t believe I’ll get to spend time with my daughter again.” “Oh, mom…” Sunset walked up to her, placing a hoof around her back. She pulled Stellar closer, gripping her in a tight hug.  “It’s not just me, either.” Stellar pulled away. “Your father and brother have been especially eager to see you.” Sunset smiled. “I’m glad to be back.” The sound of locks coming undone took the pair's attention away from each other. They turned as the front door swung open. A white hoof that melted into an orange coat stepped in first, followed by the rest of the stallion’s body. Sunset looked up as he looked down. His eyes widened. “S-Sunny?” Sunset blinked, startled by her nickname. She looked him up and down a bit more before responding. “Um… who?” This time, it was he who blinked in surprise. Stellar Flare chuckled, then walked forward. “Has it been so long that you’ve forgotten your brother’s face?” Sunset’s eyes widened. “Sunburst?” she said, nearly stumbling back from the shock. “Is that really you?” He chuckled, then averted his eyes. “The one and only,” he said. “Nice to see you after so long, sis.” Sunset chuckled nervously, then averted her eyes. This didn't go unnoticed, though. “Sunset?” Stellar called. “What’s wrong? Your face is all flushed.” Sunset shook her head. Her tail flicked back and forth. “Nothing, I was just a little embarrassed, is all.” She turned back to Sunburst, then smiled. “I didn’t expect you to grow into such a handsome stallion, SB.” She raised her hoof off the ground. “I haven’t seen you since you were this tall. And now you’re all the way up there!” “I guess I have changed a bit since then…” Stellar watched in silence as they spoke. She looked to the dining room table, then turned toward it. “I’m going to check on a side dish,” she announced. “You two catch up in the meantime.” Once Stellar disappeared behind the corner, the two looked at each other again. “You wear glasses now?” she asked. Sunburst brought his hoof to them as if he forgot he was wearing them. “They look good on you.” “Thanks. I started wearing them… a bit after you left.” He averted his eyes. “How have you been since then? Are you… alright?” Sunset chuckled.  “Yeah, I’m alright.” She looked down. “A bit weird being back in a pony body after so long, though. What about you? What have you been up to since I’ve been gone?” He pushed his glasses up his face, then cleared his throat. “I’m Princess Flurry’s crystaller,” said Sunburst. Though instead of being proud, he sighed. “Basically, I’m a babysitter first and a magic teacher second.” “That’s pretty impressive!” Sunset placed a hoof on his shoulder. “I guess that means that you’re still super interested in magic like you used to be?” Sunburst chuckled. “S-Something like that.” “I still remember when you came running into my room after mastering your first spell.” Sunset smiled as the memories came back to her. “You were so cute as a kid, and you grew up to be so cool.” She pulled her hoof away from him. “Do you have a marefriend?” An innocent question, but it was heavy as it hung in the air. It was a normal thing to ask a family member if you hadn’t seen them in a while. Sunset felt that there was a meaning hidden between its lines, though she was the one who asked it. Sunburst’s look of shock told her that he was as surprised by the question as she was. After a few more moments of silence, he opened his mouth to speak. “Sunburst, honey!?” Stellar Flare’s voice called from the kitchen, catching the two of them off guard. “Have you seen my garlic salt? I swear, I can never find it in these cabinets.” The tense atmosphere burst open, then disappeared in an instant. The two looked at each other, both unsure of what happened. Sunburst looked up and looked behind her. “Yeah, I-I’ll be right there, Mom!” With a final passing glance, he slipped past Sunset and followed after his mother’s voice. She turned and watched him walk away. Quick swipes with her hoof brought cool bursts of air to her face. It cooled her down and washed away the rest of that awkward atmosphere. She pulled herself away from the sounds in the kitchen and walked in the opposite direction. She made her way into the living room, then to the fireplace. She stopped in front of the unfamiliar face in the image she spotted earlier. Looking at it now, she felt a little silly that she hadn’t noticed it before. There was no mistaking it. The stallion wearing the cap and gown was Sunburst. With his large, goofy smile and his eyes shining like gems, he looked as happy as can be. Even though it was just an image, his smile was contagious. Sunset carefully plucked it off of its place on the mantle. “There’s no way somepony this handsome is single, right?” she murmured. Almost before the words left her mouth, she frowned. “Wait, does it even matter? I mean, that’s my brother. Sure he’s handsome, but… hmm.”  She shook her head, then placed the photo back in its place. Weird thoughts still buzzed around in her head, but she couldn’t dwell on them forever. “I’m probably just excited to see him after so long.” With that verbal justification meant to rid her of all doubts, she smiled again. Turning away from the mantle, she headed back to join her mother and brother at the dining room table. As the door clicked shut behind him, Sunburst was finally allowed to breathe a sigh of relief. With a gust of magic, his cloak unfastened and hung itself up on a hook beside the door. Without a pause, he strutted over to his desk and planted himself down on his comfortable cushion. After a few moments of relaxation, another pinch of magic slipped underneath his desk. Under an inconspicuous stack of magic textbooks lay a small, well-used, leather-bound book. He pulled it out and then pressed it down on the table. Flipping through the pages, he quickly found where he’d left off. He lit the candle next to his desk to bathe everything in light, then pulled a quill from its inkwell.  “I had no idea that it could be so… uncomfortable just being in your own house.” As he spoke aloud, the words scribbled themselves down on a new line. A basic magic control exercise that Sunburst used to keep himself sharp. The words were almost written before he had the chance to speak them. “N-Not that Sunset being back is unpleasant, or anything! I’m glad to see her back, and lunch was great, but… I don’t know. Something is weird.” He pulled the quill from the page and sighed. As he thought of how he’d put his experience into the proper words, he dipped the quill tip in more ink. Once he’d finally regained his bearings, he restarted the exercise.  “When we were kids… she was so cool and daring.” He looked up, recalling it in his mind. “She was taller than me, always ready to dive into danger and bring me along with her. A real tomboy.” He chuckled before he continued. “And… Well, she’s still like that. But now she’s also… girly. She’s smaller than me now. It's so cute when her ear twitches when she’s surprised. But she’s still got that defiant fire in her eyes that makes my heart beat…” Sunburst covered his face with his hooves, then took a long, deep sigh. His concentration dropped, and the quill clacked against the wood of the desk. Just as he wrote, his heart thumped hard against his chest, threatening to burst out at any moment. Butterflies ran rampant in his stomach, and he was sure a healthy red blush covered his features. “What is wrong with me?” He clenched his teeth. “That’s Sunset, for crying out loud. What kind of creep pervs on their own older sister…?” Removing his hooves from his face, he leaned back in and dipped his quill in the ink once more. The tip hovered over the words, threatening to strike the words from the record. “Sunburst?” At the call of his name, he nearly jumped out of his skin. He flinched so hard, he nearly spilled his ink onto the ground. As the knob on his door twisted, he slammed his book shut. He barely managed to shove the book back into place as Stellar Flare’s muzzle poked through. When she could finally see him, she found him standing in the middle of the room with a nervous smile. “You alright? I heard a lot of movement just now.” “Movement? No, no, I was just… stretching out a bit.” He did a quick stretch, trying to make as much noise as he could while he did so. He looked back with another strained smile. “S-So what did you want?” “Just coming to tell you the bath is free,” she said, motioning behind her with a hoof. “After you’re done, we can all meet up and have dinner, so don’t wait for too long, alright?” “Yup. I’ll be out in a sec.” Her eyes flickered all around the room, as she often did when she walked in. Her eyes landed on his desk, idling for a bit longer than what was comfortable. “U-Um, is something wrong?” “No, nothing. Make sure you take your bath!” With those last parting words, she disappeared from his door. As it clicked shut, a wave of relief washed over him. He stalked over to his desk once again, then ducked under it. Due to his quick actions, it was a mess, but nothing he couldn’t fix. With a sigh, he set out to put everything in its proper place.  “Maybe if I take a bath, it’ll clear my mind.” He hummed, then nodded. A warm, deep soak seemed like the perfect thing to wash away any impure thoughts. After replacing everything, he got to his hooves with a smile and a new goal. He trotted over to his door, and pulled it open, leaving his room empty just as quickly as his mother had. Sunset wasn’t used to waking up to the calm sounds of chirping birds and gentle winds. Opening her eyes, everything came back to her all at once. She was comfortably tucked into the soft sheets of her bed. Her tail flicked to and fro as she pulled herself up, wiped her face, then took a proper look at her surroundings. Sunset was still surprised by how little had changed in her room. The books she liked to read were still neatly filed away on a bookshelf. Posters of famous magicians and musicians from years ago plastered the walls. She felt like she was a little girl again. She slipped out of her bed and got to her hooves, stumbling as they touched the cold floor. “Hm… still getting used to this.” She did a few stretches, then extended her hooves. It hadn’t been that long since she stood tall on two legs instead of four. At least magic made grabbing things much less of a hassle. After waking up, she moved toward her mirror attached to the dresser on the far left wall. Sunset never did much in the way of haircare, but she tried to at least do something. She grabbed one of the brushes there, then ran it through her mane. As she worked on herself, her gaze drifted downward, to the corners of the dresser’s mirror. Her eyes went wide as she spotted the old pictures she’d stuffed in there who knows how many years ago. She placed the brush down, then tugged a picture free. “Oh wow. How old was I in this?” The picture in her hooves showed four ponies, each with a color as fiery as the sun. Two kids in the front and two adults in the back. “Dad looks so awkward here. And Sunburst looks so nervous.” She let out an airy chuckle, then placed the picture down. “I remember! He was afraid the cameraman was gonna take him away, so we had to be joined at the hip.”  Sunset sighed, then placed the picture back where it was. It seemed that all she’d been thinking about since she’d gotten back had been Sunburst. Some of it was not seeing him for a while, but surely that feeling should have worn off by now. Not even the bath she took yesterday helped much. To avoid further stress, she backed away from the mirror and headed for the door. Going into the hallway was a literal breath of fresh air. Unlike her room, the air was cool and clear. There was also a delicious smell coming from afar. She made her way toward it, finding herself in the dining room like before. As she approached the table, Stellar Flare looked up from her seat with a smile. “Oh, Sunny! Glad to see you up.” Sunset looked over the table, noticing the three plates set out. Stellar Flare sat in front of one, and one was almost completely wiped clean. The last one was still laden with food. “I didn’t want to wake you up too early, but breakfast is ready.” “Oh. Thanks, Mom.” Sunset took a seat in front of the full plate and lifted a fork. She poked into the eggs (cooked sunny side up) and let the yolk drip over the toast next to them. “Um… did Sunburst already eat?” “Yes. He left the house quite some time ago, now.” Stellar looked toward the front door. “That boy is such a busybody. He’s always out at an ungodly hour to make it to work. I wish he could spend a bit more time with his mother.” Stellar sighed. “But anyway, please! Enjoy your food.” “Mhm.” Sunset looked down at her plate, a sudden hunger creeping up on her from her stomach. “Well, there is one thing I wanted to ask.” Stellar leaned on the table, getting closer to Sunset. She looked up from her plate when her mother spoke. “Did you have any odd thoughts yesterday?” Sunset’s body froze. The food she was eating got caught in her throat. She swallowed hard, then took a few deep breaths to stabilize herself. Even then, she coughed to get anything else that was stuck there out. Once she looked back up, Stellar’s face showed concern.  “W-What do you mean?” Sunset cleared her throat a few times, then took a sip of the water in her glass. After a long drink, she continued. “Odd thoughts? I don’t understand.” “Well, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, dear.” Stellar put her hoof up to her cheek. “Last night marked the Vernal Equinox. You know how us mares get around this time of year.” Sunset’s eyes went wide. She hadn’t thought to check the date. The puzzle pieces scattered around her mind began to fall into place. “I know when the date rolls over, I start thinking about Sunspot… oh, I wish he was around more often…” “So that’s why…” Sunset mumbled. Unfortunately, it was enough for Stellar to pick up on. “Oh?” Stellar hummed. “Is there a special somepony who comes to mind for you, Sunny?” Sunset flinched. She looked up at Stellar with a frown. “Should we be talking about this at the table?” Stellar chuckled at her daughter’s pout. “Well, I can’t talk about this kind of thing with Sunburst. He wouldn’t get it.” Stellar smiled. “And since my only daughter is finally home, I thought I’d try talking about it with you.” Sunset opened her mouth to retort, but nothing came out. After a few moments and a sigh, she shook her head, then returned to her food. “I guess that’s fair,” mumbled Sunset. Stellar hummed in delight. “You know, your mother has experienced most of what life has to offer at this point. But there’s still something I’m curious about.” She waved her hoof in the air. “I’ve never had a grand foal to cradle in my hooves. Even Twilight Velvet beat me to that punch, the old crone.” Sunset frowned once again. “You shouldn’t rush me to have kids, Mom,” said Sunset. “I'm not even sure if I want to have kids in the first place.” Stellar shook her head. “Sorry, dear. I don’t mean to rush.” She hummed. “I’m just a bit curious, is all.” She peered at her daughter, her gaze narrowing. “In all the time you’ve been away, are you sure you’ve never found someone you want to settle down with?” “N…” Sunset was sure of what she wanted to say. To make it absolutely clear that there was no one she had eyes on. Instead, her eyes flickered off to the side, toward the living room. Just as quickly as she looked, she returned her gaze to Stellar. “No.” “That was quite the long, suspicious pause.” “You’re overthinking it.” Sunset got to her hooves, the plate in front of her wiped clean. “Thanks for the food.” “Oh, don’t worry about it, Sunny.” Stellar’s smile never wavered for even a moment. “You can leave the plate there. I’ll clean up the table.” “Oh. Thanks.” Sunset stepped away from the table. “I’ll be in my room if you need me.” She looked at her mother's smile one last time, then walked further into the house. Once she left Stellar Flare’s sight, she paused. In the middle of the hallway, she fell onto her flank, then sighed. “It’s the equinox,” she murmured. She blinked a couple of times and took a couple of deep breaths. Anything to try to calm her beating heart. “This stupid equinox is the only reason he popped into my head.” Sunset looked up and, with a final deep breath, got back to her hooves. But instead of continuing down the hallway, something grabbed her attention. She turned her head toward it, a suspicious smell. It led her to stop in front of a cracked door to her left. A quick glance behind her revealed that Stellar was still preoccupied in the kitchen. Without even stopping to think, she pushed the door open and slipped in, closing it tight behind her. The rogue scent from before was nothing compared to what surrounded her now. A thick earthy fragrance mixed with the scent of old books and parchment paper. An odd combination, but one that made Sunset feel oddly comfortable. Her eyes narrowed, and she took a deep breath. “So this… is his room.” Sunburst kept his space quite clean, almost spotless. Books were neatly stacked on several shelves to her left, all likely organized in some way she couldn’t spot. Between them was a desk with several books already opened. Though Sunset was curious, her body led her in a different direction. To the right was his bed, neatly made. It almost looked like he’d never slept on it. Though, as she approached it, she spotted something of interest to her strewn on top of it. It was a dark blue cloak patterned with stars. She’d caught a glimpse of it yesterday when Sunburst came in but didn’t pay it much attention. She reached down and pressed her hoof into the cloth, then lifted it. There should have been nothing out of the ordinary about it. Yet, as she held it in her hoof, Sunset could feel herself burning up hotter than she had before. She brought it to her muzzle, taking a long, deep sniff. “O-Oh…” A sharp bolt of pleasure traveled down her spine. There was a strange tightness in her lower stomach that she didn't recognize. Instinctively, she closed her legs tight. Her eyes closed shut. She took another deep whiff, repeating the process like she was forming a bad addiction. The tightness gnawed at her until she felt a familiar sensation. Without opening her eyes, she fell to her flank. “This doesn’t mean… anything. It’s the equinox.” As if the cloak was a mask over her actions, she led her hoof down her belly.  She rubbed her stomach as if it would soothe her aching womb, but continued down to her pussy before long. For a few moments, she pressed it. This only confirmed that she was definitely getting wet, despite her nervousness. She pressed it again, dribbling more arousal onto her hoof. In practiced strokes, she moved to petting her pussy like a cat. A small moan escaped her mouth as she traveled along her lips. Her body twitched as waves of pleasure broke against her body and mind. Even biting her lip didn’t seem to ease the assault. Still, she didn’t dare stop or slow down with her hoof. In quick, circular motions she brushed against her clit and spread her lips to the peachy pink beyond. “Sunby…” Sunset leaned back until her back lay on the floor. The cloak draped over her body, wrapping her in its warmth. In her moments of passion, she could almost mistake it for the pony himself. The heat of a bigger stallion pressing down into her, pushing through, giving her all that he had. Almost involuntarily, her mouth opened again. “More, Sunburst! Give me more…” Of course, there was no response. Yet, Sunset felt a wave of pleasure heavier than the last. Her hoof swiped back and forth as quickly as she could muster. Shivering underneath the strain, she let out a small moan, then another.  “Faster! D-Deeper…” Her instructions meant for Sunburst were instead carried out by her hoof. The tip broke through her lips, rubbing against the walls just inside the entrance to her pussy. Becoming less restrained, her breathing became labored. She arched her back, and let out a guttural moan straight from her chest. “F-Fill me up…!” Though it was shaky, she led a trail of magic down her stomach and hovered it over her clit. Without pause, she pinched down on it. A sharp feeling ran up her spine and smashed against her mind like a sucker punch. “Celestia, yes!” She let out a long breath. Her eyes shot open and her legs twitched. A fierce urge sprang up from her lower stomach. Along with it came a thick clear jet of liquid easily clearing a few feet into the air. There was another one shortly after, though it was less impressive. “Yes… yes… hmph.” She spread herself as best as she could to allow the last bit of her orgasm to slowly drip out of her. For the next few moments, she sat in silence. Only the sounds of her stabilizing breathing filled the room. With her clean hoof, Sunset wiped away the sweat she’d worked up and stared up at the clear white ceiling. Now that she could think straight, she collected her thoughts. “What did I just do…” Dread washed over her in cold waves. She pinched her eyes shut, and bit down hard on her lip. “What would he say if he knew that I used his cloak to… oh no.” Sunset shot up faster than a bullet. Sunburst’s cloak now had a suspicious, wet, fragrant patch of liquid sprayed over it. Sunset felt her heart jump into her throat before she grabbed it up in her magic. She balled it up, then teleported it away, presumably landing in the corner of her room. Just as quickly, she snapped a towel into her grasp. She spread it out as far as she could, then got to work on the floor where she’d spilled a pool of her excitement. But, in her rush, she wasn’t too perceptive of her surroundings. She couldn’t be blamed, she was in a high-stress situation. But, had she paid a bit more attention, Sunset may have noticed the click of the bedroom door closing behind her. Stellar Flare’s mornings always tended to be quite boring. As she’d learned to do since her school days, she woke up as the sun rose in the sky. An early start for the house mare, but necessary, given her responsibilities. She spent what little free time she had in the bathroom, grooming herself to perfection. Though, by now, there was no one to impress. After that little detour, she made it to the kitchen. One of her few passions in her older age, she enjoyed the hour or so she spent preparing breakfast. Recently, she’d gotten the opportunity to cook even more. A full house required more food for full bellies, after all. By the time her cooking was complete, the light from the sun spilled in through the kitchen windows. In her magic, she retrieved plates from the pantry, then made her way to the dining room. The table was large, but there were only four proper places to set up tableware. With a flick of her hoof, all four spots got a plate. Next was the food she’d made, still piping hot. Once everything was set up, Stellar took a seat at the head of the table. Every morning, she looked over everything she accomplished during it. A twinge of loneliness used to live behind her eyes, but recently, those feelings haven’t even paid her a visit. The sounds of two doors opening pulled her away from her sentimental thoughts. She turned and looked down the hallway where they came from. Though she couldn’t see them, the small yelp of her daughter and the gasp of her son were unmistakable.  “M-Morning, Sunset!” Stellar once worried that Sunburst’s shyness would be to his detriment. Fortunately, the mares around him seemed to find it just as charming as she did.  “Hey...” Sunset never had any problems with boys. Mostly because she ignored them. Stellar was glad to know somepony may have finally caught her attention. She got to her hooves, then trotted to the other side of the table. “Glad to see you two up at the same time,” she said with a smile. “Feeling hungry? I made something delicious.” The two glanced at each other before nodding and following their mother. Sunset looked everything over, then posed a question. “Four plates?” Stellar once again took her seat. “Yes, dear. It’s the weekend, so your dad will be back from his business trip before long.” She looked to her side, where Sunburst had quietly taken his place in front of a plate. “It’s also why Sunburst will be joining us at the table today, right?” “Yeah, I have off on weekends,” he explained. “I still have to do some lesson planning though, so I’m not completely free.” “Hm, a pity.” Stellar levitated a knife into the air. She cut a slice of the vegetable quiche she made and placed it onto Sunburst’s plate. He nodded his thanks as Sunset got her share as well. Finally, she cut a piece for herself. “Well, that means we’ll have to savor the time we have together now. So…” She looked between the two. “How have you two been getting along?” “I-It’s been fine,” stammered Sunburst. “Same here.” Both turned their attention to the quiche, digging in almost as fast as it was served to them. Stellar watched in silence for a moment before smiling. “That’s good to hear. I thought there might have been some issues between you two.” She grabbed her fork in her magic, twirling it in the air. “At least, if Sunburst’s diary was to be believed.” Sunburst flinched, freezing in place like a statue. His eyes shakily turned to Sunset, then to his mother.  “U-Um, w-what do you—” “Well, it’s not like I can blame him, after all. Any young stallion would be nervous, living with a beautiful mare like you, Sunset. Even if you were their sister.” She chuckled. “Or at least, that’s the way you put it, right Sunburst?” “I… um…” He looked down at his food, sweat beginning to slide down his brow. “That’s…” “T-Thanks, Sunby.” Sunset chuckled, then tapped her hoof against her chin. “It’s flattering to hear you call me that.” Sunburst looked up at his sister, a full blush on his face. “Aw, don’t be so beat up, Sunburst.” Stellar poked at her food, picking up a chunk and taking a bite. “If you saw what Sunset did with your cape, you’d realize that the feeling is mutual—” “Mom!?” Sunset nearly jumped out of her seat, her hooves slamming against the table. “Y…You couldn't have... you were watching that?” “My cape?” Sunburst asked with a raised eyebrow. “I couldn’t find it this morning… what happened to it?” Sunset panicked. Her gaze was laser-focused on her mother, begging for the conversation to come to an end here. Instead of answering, Stellar stood up just as Sunset did, a stern look on her face. “Kids, listen.” Just as they had when they were younger, both went quiet and listened to their mother. Normally, they would just be getting scolded, but this seemed much more dire. She looked between the two, then sighed. “I want you to tell me the truth. Are you two… interested in each other?” “O-Of course I’m n…” Though she was quick to speak, her voice trailed off. She glanced across the table at Sunburst, who met her gaze. No matter how much she wanted to speak up, her words fizzled out in her throat. The pair watched her, waiting for her reply. “I’m not…” “There’s no point in hiding it anymore, I guess.” Sunburst sighed, then looked down at his food in shame. “If you already read my journal then… you know how I feel about Sunset.” Stellar shook her head and hummed. “No, no,” she said. “Say it properly.” Sunburst hummed, then looked up to meet Sunset’s expectant gaze once again. “I like you, Sunny…” His face burned bright red as he spoke. Sunset wasn’t much different. “Not as a big sister but… you know.” Finally, he looked away, shame returning to his features. “I’m sorry.” He heard hoofsteps at his side as his mother approached. As painful as it was, he turned to face her wrath, ready for any punishment.  But, rather than a scowl or a look of disgust, Stellar’s face beamed with a smile. She wrapped her hooves around Sunburst, running one through his hair. “I’m so proud of you, honey!” she exclaimed. Sunburst froze, shock rippling across his body. In the face of his mother’s optimism, he couldn’t help but let out a nervous chuckle.  “S-Sorry…” Surely Stellar must have misheard or misunderstood him. But even after repeating himself, Stellar looked down at him with a smile full of pride. “Don’t be, baby. I’m not mad at you, or your sister.” She turned back to Sunset. “I’m glad that you’re being transparent with me, and expressing your feelings in the right way.” Stellar’s eyes bore holes through Sunset’s meager defenses. She opened her mouth, then closed it tight. After a deep breath, she finally gathered the courage to speak. “S-Sunburst, um… Yesterday. About your cape.” Another deep breath. “It’s… well, I went into your room because… t-there was something about it that I just… couldn’t resist.” “So you…” Stellar egged Sunset on. She gulped. “So I… used it to r-relieve myself.” She placed her hooves over her face. “I didn’t mean to get it wet! I was just so caught up in the moment when I came,  it just kept coming out.” She grumbled her embarrassment, hiding her face from the other two. “It’s not my fault. I couldn’t help myself because of that stupid Equinox!" What was once a calm morning conversation over breakfast had broken down into this. Both of Stellar’s children were beet red, covered in their shame. She frowned. Though this was what she wanted to do, this wasn’t the outcome she was looking for. With a clear throat, she once again grabbed the attention of the pair. “Again, I’m not mad or disappointed, you know?” Despite her reassurance, neither looked much better than before. With a sigh, she resolved herself, then spoke again. “These feelings that you two have for each other… they’re normal.” “I know you’re trying to console us, Mom, but…” Sunburst started. Stellar shook her head, then patted his. “Listen,” she instructed. “These feelings are completely normal. In fact, your mother had quite the crush on her brother when she was about your age.” The two perked up, their faces donning a new bit of curiosity. Stellar smiled to put them at ease. “Yes, it’s true. In fact… we ended up having sex.” “W-Wha…” Sunset’s eyes were wide and her jaw had dropped. She spared a nervous look at Sunburst, who had a similar reaction. “Are you serious? Did you… with your brother?” Stellar put a hoof to her cheek, and smiled innocently. “More than a few times. In fact, after the first time, I got quite addicted.” Sunset seemed to blush even more than she had before. Stellar chuckled, then motioned toward the two. “Would you two like to give it a go?” Stellar’s question hung in the air. The tension between her two kids was palpable. Stellar could tell as she watched them fidget and shuffle. They were considering the idea. She moved until she could reach out to Sunset, then grabbed their attention with a clearing of her throat. “Don’t worry, you two. I’ll be here.” She pat their heads, comforting them as she would a child much younger. “If anything seems out of place, tell Mommy. I’ll make it right.” She smiled. “I’ll make sure your first times are perfect.” The two looked at their mother, then at each other. Again, there was a bit of shuffling and waiting, but Stellar’s offer seemed too good to pass up. “Why don’t we... try it?” The first to speak was Sunset. Beneath the embarrassment, a fiery spark of confidence burned behind her eyes. “I think I’d like to.” “Well…” Sunburst pressed his hooves together. He looked between the others and finally, with a sigh, continued. “I want to try it as well…” Stellar brought her hooves together with a clap, and her smile got even wider than before. “Okay then. Let’s head to the living room!” Stellar pulled away from the table, turned on her hoof, then headed for the living room across from it. The other two lagged behind, but followed their mother before she got too far. By the time they reached her, she’d already cleared out a sizable space and laid a bedsheet down. “Now, it’s important that you both feel comfortable.” Stellar pat the top of the sheet down. “Though you are brother and sister, there may be a few things you don’t know about each… oh?” Sunset’s tail swiped back and forth, her body pressed close enough to her brother to feel the heat from his coat. She narrowed her eyes, a deep passion brooding beneath them as she closed the distance. As if she never had any reservations, she moved toward Sunburst and pressed her muzzle to his. Sunburst looked surprised but didn’t shy away from leaning into the kiss himself. Stellar put a hoof up to call out to them, but caught herself before she did. She meant what she said before. She was there for them should they need her. But, in her experience, it was best to let them figure out what they wanted for themselves first. She hummed in delight, then backed away, taking a seat a bit away from their makeout session. Sunset pulled back with a gasp, catching her breath. Her eyes twinkled with delight. Sunburst looked away, landing on the sheet Stellar had laid out. Sunset followed his gaze, then pressed a hoof to his chest. “Sit down,” she murmured. “I’ll take care of the rest.” He did as she said, bending down and taking a seat on the soft cloth. Sunset took the spot across from him. She glanced down at the hooves he placed over his crotch, then pressed her own to them. Her upward glance was enough to make the stallion’s heart skip a beat. “Can I see it?” “Okay.” He moved his hooves away and exposed himself. The excitement from the kiss had nearly brought him to full mast, but he still had a ways to go. Sunset watched it twitch under her gaze for a bit before she wrapped a thin grip of magic around the midpoint. Sunburst let out a shaky breath as she wrapped him in her warm embrace. “Wow. This is way different than doing it myself.” “Hmm…” Sunset slid the magic grip up and down the shaft. He grew and expanded as his dick sputtered to life. She quickened the pace, jerking him off and making him stiffer by the moment.  “Don’t forget to use our mouth, sweetie.” Sunset flinched, and the concentration on her spell slipped for a bit. She turned to meet her mother, watching silently from a distance. “Your tongue, too. Boys like it when you play with the tip.” “I… think I know at least that much, Mom.” Sunset beamed red again. Being watched by Stellar was both embarrassing and comforting to her beating heart. She took a deep breath and then stepped it up a notch. She took the entire tip in her mouth in one go, swallowing down almost half of it before she had to pause. “Oooh.” Sunburst made a weird noise as sunset dove down on him. The heat emanating from her mouth was on a whole different level from her magic. The combination of her wet mouth and her body heat set shivers up his body. He raised a hand to press into Sunset’s mane. Next, she continued as her mother’s advice has said. Her tongue flicked along the side of his tip, rolling it around in her mouth like a lollipop. She looked up from her sloppy display to see Sunburst’s pleasure-gripped face. With a hum, she bobbed her head and suckled the shaft along with her licking. Sunburst pushed her further down, his floaty moans turning into guttural groans. His cock twitched aggressively in the tight passage of her throat. “Ah, hold on now.” Stellar reached out for Sunburst’s hand, lifting it from Sunset’s head. Then, Stellar pulled against Sunset’s shoulder, coaxing her back from her work. She left his cock with a wet smooch, then licked her lips. “Careful now, Sunny. You’re going to make the poor boy waste his cum.” “O-Oh.” Sunset looked up at Sunburst, taking note of his heavy breaths and shivering figure. “Sorry.” “It’s… fine…” he panted. “It’s not like I didn’t like it.” Sunset got to her hooves, then pressed them into his shoulders, persuading him to lay down on his back. Now completely over him, his size was evident. His tip almost pressed against her stomach’s coat. “Um… so I guess I just… put this inside.” Sunset raised a hind leg, looking back to line herself up with his protruding tip. As she pressed her lips against it, she flinched. “T-This thing is pretty big, huh?”  With a nervous chuckle and a deep breath, she continued. She pushed down, but it slipped forward. She tried again but only managed to get the same result. After another few breaths, she made up her mind. She pressed down, letting it slip forward, then continued. Eventually, she sat on top of his shaft, letting the tip point toward him. “Sorry, but I don’t think I’m ready for this yet.” “That’s okay, baby. Don’t rush." Stellar placed a supportive hoof on her daughter’s shoulder. “It can be pretty intimidating to actually do the deed. Whenever you two are ready, you’ll know what to do.” Though she was clearly nervous, she offered Stellar a smile. “Thanks, Mom.” Sunset sighed with relief. Despite what she’d said, she still moved her hips. Her lips and the pussy beyond ground against his shaft, coating it with her sticky arousal. “But… I feel bad for Sunby, so...” She placed a hoof on one side of his head to balance herself. In a smooth pumping motion, she glided along the top of his shaft. Her position squeezed him between her wet pussy and soft thighs. If Sunburst’s cock twitching didn’t give it away, his heavy breathing told Sunset all she needed to know. “I’m… getting close!” Sunburst grunted, then pressed down on Sunset’s thighs, squeezing himself even tighter. He started to move, jutting his hips out in an awkward motion. He slipped between her thighs with impressive vigor. His thighs started to slap against her ass, making Sunset flinch in surprise.  Waves of pleasure began to break against her lower body like before. Almost every thrust of Sunburst's clipped her clit, making her twitch with pleasure. Her arousal dripping out made his pumping even smoother than before. Sunset leaned back, letting out a floaty moan she'd been holding in for a bit. His balls clenched tight, and his cock sputtered even more than before. Sunset paused and a million things ran through her mind at once. She pulled free of her brother’s grasp, lifting her weight from his bottom half. His cock sprang upward as she once again hovered over his tip, dripping and eager as ever.  “I don’t want it outside…” mumbled Sunset. Another warm grip of magic pressed on the front of his shaft as she pushed down. This time, it wouldn’t slip. Once her lips pressed into the head, it flared. Its new size would make it even harder to fit into her small pussy. Still, she persevered, lowering her hips with vigor. “I want it… in here...!” Finally, after a bit of strain, Sunburst’s head broke through. Sunset’s stomach squeezed tight as the tip pressed through her stiff walls. Sunburst didn’t even try to hide his satisfaction with animalistic grunts and huffs. But as loud as he was, it didn’t come close to the yelp Sunset let out. She bit down hard, but every inch forced a new sound out of her. “Easy now. Easy…” Stellar placed a hoof on her daughter’s back. Sunset paused to catch her breath, then looked at her mother. “It’s a bit overwhelming, hm? Take it slow…” “I can’t…” said Sunset breathlessly. She turned back to Sunburst. “I want this now. I can’t wait any longer.” Stellar hummed in surprise, then removed her hoof. She quietly watched as Sunset crammed the last few inches inside of her, letting out a low hum once she managed it. A healthy bulge poked out from her stomach. Sunburst’s cock had surely reached her womb. “Sunny…” Sunburst croaked. Sunset leaned down until her muzzle was less than an inch away from her brother’s. He reached up and wrapped his hooves around her back. “You feel amazing… I can barely hold back.” “Don’t hold back,” whined Sunset. She leaned forward, pressing him with a kiss like she had before. After indulging to her heart’s content, she pulled back. “Give it to me. Fill me up, Sunby.” “B-But if I cum inside, you’ll…” Sunset narrowed her eyes. “I know.” She lifted her hips, then slipped down again. Her pussy molded to the shape of his dick, pulling a purr from Sunset’s lips. “Just let it all out.” He lowered his hooves to her flank, feeling up her ass while pushing Sunset up from the ground. Once he was a good distance off of the ground, he quickly pulled back. Without pause, he rushed back in. It was as tight of a squeeze as it was the first time. Sunset let out a whimper, then fell onto his chest.  Sunburst went steady as he thrust in. Sunset squeezed him tight every few pumps, but he didn’t slow down for anything. At his own rhythm, he continued knocking on his sister’s baby room. Each thrust reminded her of what was at stake. Yet she didn’t seem to mind. Sunburst’s heart thumped hard against his chest as the prospect flashed across his face. Every time his resolve began to waver, Sunset pulled him into another long kiss. Each one was sloppier than the last. Her tongue wrestled with his in a messy clash, but it would reinvigorate him without fail.  Soon he picked up his pace, pistoning into her with more force than before. The sounds of slapping as the base of his cock squished her pussy rang out. Sunset shuddered fiercely, and let out an uncontrolled yelp. She squeezed him even tighter than before, enough to slow his advance. But, with a ferocity unlike him, he continued his attack with the rabid speed of a wild animal.  “Oh, Celestia…” Sunset murmured through clenched teeth. “Oh… I love you, Sunby!” “S-Sunny!” He started to twitch and sputter like before. Sunset picked up on it quickly, hugging him tighter. “It’s coming… I’m—” A click. The sound of a door opening. Stellar’s ears perked up. She looked up from the scene in front of her just in time to meet the gaze of a stallion as he walked in from the front door. A pair of deep purple eyes. Her eyes widened as it hit her what was happening. “Mmm~” Sunset brought her lips to Sunburst’s one final time, as he brought his hips up as fast and hard as he could. With a mighty thwack, his hips smashed into her ass. The first shot gushed out, coating Sunset’s pussy with the thick, hot, and sticky load he’d been holding in. The next one came right after, pooling inside of her like a lake. The shots kept coming, each one filling her up slightly more than the last. She pulled back from him as the last few drops of seed drooled from his tip and into her.  His hips fell and she followed them. The two gulped down deep breaths as they tried to stabilize themselves. She pulled back, sitting on her brother’s cock as if he was a chair. With a hoof, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and moved the hair from her face. Once she finally brought herself back from the throes of pleasure, she took a look at Sunburst to see how he’d fared. “Sunburst?” Sunset could almost see the color draining from his face. He’d turned his head to the side, toward the dining room table. Instinctually, she followed his gaze. “What’s… oh…” “Hey, you two.” Though the voice was casual and outgoing, the mood in the room plummeted immediately. Sunset froze as her brother had, eyes locked on the visitor standing only a meter away from them. He looked between the pair with a smile on his face. “I see that you’re having fun.” “Welcome home, Sunspot.” Walking around her kids, Stellar took her place beside her husband, then kissed him on the cheek. “Hope you’re hungry. I made a delicious quiche.” “Ah, I’m looking forward to it.” He nuzzled against Stellar affectionately. Sunset and Sunburst could feel their hearts ready to explode from their chests. After glancing at each other, both hoping the other would know what to do, Sunset was the one to speak up first. She pushed herself up, letting Sunburst’s cock slip out of her with a quiet schlick. After a bit of stumbling, she retreated from him entirely. “D-Dad, erm…” Sunspot looked at his daughter again. Sunset swallowed hard. “It’s… this isn’t what it looks like.” “Hmm. Somewhat unconvincing when your brother’s cum still leaking out of you.” The words hit her like a truck. She almost stumbled over just from hearing them. “But that doesn’t matter now.” He pressed his hoof to her mane and smiled wide. “Welcome back home, Sunny.” “Dad, are you… okay with us?” Sunburst joined Sunset at her side. Sunspot tilted his head and raised an eyebrow. “Well, yeah. Of course I am.” He moved the hoof from Sunset’s mane to Sunburst’s. “The laws on incest in this town are quite lenient. They don’t even mind if you’re blood-related!” The two shared another confused glance, and Sunset shook her head. “No, that’s not… why don’t you or Mom care if we have sex?” asked Sunset. “Mom, you even encouraged us… I might have gotten pregnant… you know?” She placed a hoof on her belly and subtly glanced at Sunburst. “I’m glad that we’re not in trouble, but… it makes no sense.” She looked back to Sunspot, expecting to see a troubled or surprised expression. Instead, Sunspot chuckled, which turned into a hearty laugh. All this did was renew the confusion on the faces of the other two. “I’d be quite the hypocrite to punish you two,” he said, shaking his head. “After all, my sister brought me two beautiful kids.” He looked between them and watched as the information set in. Both looked behind Sunspot where Stellar watched with a healthy blush on her face.  “I told you, didn’t I?” she said, pressing up against Sunspot. “I got addicted. No way that there’d be anyone else for me other than my Spotsy.” Stellar narrowed her eyes. There was lust emanating from her. “Though, after what I saw earlier, Sunburst might be able to please me when you're not around.” Again, Sunspot laughed heartily. “Well, you are at that age, aren’t you? Where you want to compete against your dad?” He grinned, then patted him on the head again. “Maybe after breakfast, we can see who can make your mother cum the fastest. What do you say?” “I… wow.” Sunburst looked down at his hooves, then over to Sunset, before returning to his parents. “So we’re both... products of incest? This is… a lot to take in all at once.” “I guess it runs in the family, then,” said Sunset with a nervous chuckle. Stellar hummed. “Speaking of family, it seems like my wish may finally come true.” Stellar approached Sunset with a twinkle in her eye and a smile from ear to ear. “The house may be getting a little rowdy in a few months if we’re lucky.” The realization washed over Sunset like a wave, bringing a blush to her cheeks once again.  “That just means you have to eat for two, now!” Sunspot called from behind Stellar, having taken his spot at the table. With the knife, he sliced into the quiche, taking a large piece for himself. “Come, kids. Let’s eat. It’s been a while since we last spoke.” “O-Okay.” The two looked at each other one final time before shuffling away from the mess in the living room. They took their seat as they’d done before, with Stellar at the head of the table.  Sunset took a quick look around the table, then forked a chunk of quiche into her mouth. The flavors spread quickly, the taste putting her at ease. From the scene in front of her, it was like they were a normal family sitting around a table eating breakfast. She took another deep breath, then smiled.  “This is amazing, Mom.” Stellar nodded. “Thanks, Sweetie,” she said, her grin returning. “I’m glad you like it.” Sitting on the floor of her bathroom, Sunset Shimmer patiently waited. Despite her situation, her breathing was level, and her heart was still. Her eyes were closed gently. There wasn’t an ounce of panic in her body.  Without a cue, she opened her eyes again. She reached below her stomach, down to her crotch, then retrieved the object she’d placed there. As she pulled it up to her eyes, she took a deep breath. Her heartbeat quickened once she could properly see the reading. Two lines.  She shot up to her hooves, then made for the door. It was open before he even got to the knob with her magic. She sprinted down the hallway, coming to the dining room. “Sunby!” Sunset called. She turned to her right. “The test! It came out...” “Oh, dear. Sorry, Sunset.” Stellar answered her daughter’s words in place of Sunburst. Sunset walked a bit further, finding out quickly why she decided to apologize. “I hope you don’t mind that I’ve borrowed him for a bit.” Sunburst glanced back from his mounted position over his mother. His hips pistoned into her ass like clockwork. Low squelches rang out as it mixed her pussy up. The counter rumbled with each thrust, spices and utensils rattled against the countertop. Every few seconds, a small jet of Stellar’s cum would shoot out, spraying their legs and the floor in her arousal. In front of her, Stellar watched a pot nearly boiling, with a large column of steam coming from the small hole in the lid. Sunset watched them for a few moments before shaking her head. “S-Sorry, Sunny,” breathed Sunburst. “Just give me… hmmph, a few minutes.” “You’re not gonna last that long if you don’t pace yourself.” A new voice pulled Sunset’s attention. A little to her left, sitting at the table was Sunspot, relaxing at full mast. He steadily stroked his shaft, watching it twitch with anticipation. “Your mother loves it rough, but you’re gonna tire yourself out too quickly that way.” “G-Got it!” Following his father’s advice, he slowed to a crawl, which Stellar met with a low whine. “I don’t mind if you finish early, baby,” she cooed. Sunspot chuckled, then turned to Sunset. “Can you do me a favor and help me out with this?” Sunspot patted his thigh. Sunset nodded, and quickly trot to her father’s side. She spun on her heel, then lifted her tail up to expose herself. Guiding his daughter with a hoof, Sunset slipped nearly half of his cock inside of her at once. She let out a labored breath but had little trouble pushing all the way down to her base. She felt it flutter inside of her, and let out a small moan as it brushed up against her sweet spot. “Now, what were you saying before?” “Oh, yeah.” Sunset turned to Sunburst. “The test, Sunby… it came back positive.” The news was enough to make him freeze. He looked over his shoulder again, meeting Sunset’s embarrassed gaze. “Guess I’m a mom now.” “Congratulations, sweetie!” Stellar hummed in delight. “He may not be showing it, but Sunburst just got really excited, hehe.” “M-Mom!” He blushed, then looked away. “Well... it’s true that I’m glad that we’re having a baby. I can't wait.” “My baby girl’s grown up so fast,” said Sunspot with a hearty laugh. He humped Sunset with short, controlled bursts. Each one pressed tightly against her womb. Sunset let out small hums with each thrust. “Does that mean you’ll finally let your old man cum inside this time?” Sunset leaned forward against the table, lifting her flank up as she did.  “Sorry, Dad,” she said. “That’s still only for Sunby.” She bobbed her ass up and down his shaft, feeling it sputter under her grip. “You can still use my pussy, though. As long as it’s not dangerous for the baby.” “Thank you, Sunny.” He said with a grin. “But you may want to pull back now. I’m already pretty close.” Sunset narrowed her eyes, then peeled herself off of him. He shook and sputtered, only moments from an orgasm before Sunset pulled off of his tip with a loud pop. A long, thick rope of cum painted her back, followed by another. Sunset sat down just in front of his cock, feeling each squeeze of his balls as more cum drooled from it. She turned around to embrace him with a kiss. After a short tongue bout, she pulled back and smiled. “Hmmph!” Sunset turned back in time to see a jet of cum spray out from Stellar’s pussy. Tapping against the wooden floor, Sunburst’s seed dripped out. He backed away, letting his cock slip out unceremoniously. “Haah…” “Ah, let me clean you up.” Sunset left her father’s lap, circled around the table, and sat down in front of Sunburst’s cock. She brought her muzzle close to his tip and licked her lips. Before he even had a chance to go soft, Sunset was halfway finished swallowing his shaft. She pressed her muzzle against his crotch, taking in his entire length with relative ease.  “What an eager girl.” Stellar chuckled as she checked up on the food in front of her. “You’ve found yourself a great bride, Sunburst.” “Yeah, hmmph.” Sunset began to pull back, inch by inch. She sucked hard, wrenching even the smallest drop of cum free as she traveled. She drooled as she reached the upper half, sucking everything out of him like a milkshake. Once she got to the top, she flicked his head a few times for good measure, then pulled back with a wet kiss. She looked up at Sunburst and opened her mouth. As if it were magic, an entire load rested on her tongue, hot and steamy as if it had just been blown. In the next instant, she swallowed down hard, every drop disappearing down her throat. “All gone,” said Sunset in a sweet voice. Sunburst couldn’t help but blush.  “Alright, kids. Lunch is ready.” Stellar levitated the pot she’d been working over to the table. “Go and clean up. And no fooling around until after lunch, okay?” “Yes, ma’am,” they answered in unison. Sunset took the lead, and Sunburst followed, heading back to the bathroom she’d rushed out of earlier. Sunset turned back to her brother, a devious smirk on her face. “Do you think they’d notice if we snuck in a little quickie before going back?” Sunset chuckled, then pushed his glasses up his face. “Almost definitely,” he said. Sunset’s eyes narrowed, and her smirk widened. “Should we do it anyway?” Sunburst sighed. Insatiable almost seemed too lenient to describe Sunset’s libido. Still, he couldn’t blame her one-sidedly. He was also guilty of enabling her. He caught up to her side, then nuzzled against her. She pressed into him just the same. As they looked into each other's eyes, Sunburst realized that he wouldn't stop enabling her anytime soon. “Alright,” he said with a smile. “Let’s do it.”
