> Party Animals > by Infini-Pony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: Party Animals > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prologue: Party Animals A cool nighttime breeze flows across the sleepy town of Ponyville, whispering past all the dreary houses in which tired ponies rest from a hard days’ work. Few house lights dot the town while all the rest of the houses remain dark, all except for one house: Sugar Cube Corner. Every light in the structure is on… not one is left off. (Muffled club/party music can be heard all throughout the town.) “Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!” (Chanting can be heard from inside Sugar Cube Corner.) “YEAHH!!” (Cheering from more than one pony overlaps the music blasting from the stereos.) [Scene transitions from the outside of Sugar Cube Corner to the inside of Sugar Cube Corner, revealing a large number of ponies gathered in Sugar Cube Corner with a large d-j system located at the front of the group of ponies blasting music to which the ponies are having a blast to.] “Your turn Rainbow Dash!” exclaims Pinkie Pie as she pours a cup full of apple juice colored fluid, with Apple Jack staggering away toward the wall with a sloppy smile on her face. “ALRIGHT! Time for ROUND THREE!!” shouts Rainbow Dash as she glides over the crowd of ponies from across the room giving them high fives (or in this case high hooves) as they cheer her on. Pinkie pie smiles as she fills the large cup all the way to the brim full of apple juice colored fluid (by now you should know what it is.). “I don’t think she could *HICK* handle that much,” says Applejack in a slurred manner of speech, blinking trying to regain focus. “Just watch and learn, I could handle anything,” proclaims Rainbow Dash as she stands on a table closing her eyes brushing her mane to one side in a bragging manner. “Hey Vinyl Scratch!” shouts Rainbow Dash over the cheering ponies. Vinyl Scratch’s headphones are on both of her ears as she’s operating the equipment needed to keep the party going. Rainbow Dash tries to get her attention again, “HEY VINYL!! I NEED YOU TO PLAY A SONG!!!” “What’d you say Dashie?!” shouts Pinkie Pie trying to over-yell the ponies screaming and partying to the loud music with heavy bass in the building. “NEVER MIND!” shouts Rainbow Dash as she proceeded to the table with the large cup filled with the richest vodka in all Equestria (provided by Celestia herself). “ALRIGHT! LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!” shouts Rainbow Dash rubbing her hooves together preparing to perform another feat of “awesomeness.” [Scene transitions to the dance floor of the party cranking up inside the Sugar Cube Corner. Ponies are dancing, cheering, drinking, partying, and living the night away.] As one can tell, this is a pretty hyped up party- a party celebrating the newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle. In this particular party (since Twilight Sparkle has now become an even more important pony and thus a celebrity/political figure), there are certain ponies that are allowed into the party grounds… namely only Ponyville ponies. [Scene transitions back to the main six gathered around Rainbow Dash, whom is about to accomplish another feat of pure awesomeness.] “On your mark, get set… GO!” shouts Twilight as she swings her hoof toward Rainbow Dash signaling her to begin. At that exact moment Rainbow Dash grabs the large glass filled to the brim with vodka, and begins drinking. “Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!” cheer Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Spike as Rainbow Dash takes huge gulps of liquid. The sudden commotion then gets the attention of a few ponies in the crowd who then join the cheer squad for Rainbow Dash. Gradually more and more ponies join the cheer squad cheering all together in sync cheering Rainbow Dash on- “Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!” “Almost there!” shouts Pinkie Pie as a huge smile of astonishment overcomes her face. “If she finishes in the next twenty seconds… that’s a new Ponyville record!” exclaims Applejack as she glances at the stopwatch over Twilight’s shoulder, then up at Rainbow Dash with a look of anxiety on her face. “FIFTEEN SECONDS!!” shouts Twilight as she keeps on glancing up at Rainbow Dash and the stopwatch. All the ponies in the building (even Vinyl Scratch put her equipment in stand-by to join the cheer squad); with their focus on Rainbow Dash, continue their chanting as the suspense builds up. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and paused for a second, “TEN SECONDS!!” shouts Twilight as she throws the stopwatch over her shoulder, almost colliding into the head of an innocent bystander. Rainbow Dash fills her cheeks up with the last amount of vodka left in the glass. “FIVE SECONDS!!” Rainbow Dash forces all the liquid down her throat just as Twilight calls out “THREE SECONDS!!” “FINISHED!!!” yells Rainbow Dash as she throws the glass on the ground sending it into little tiny bits of glass gliding across the room floor. The crowd of ponies cheer as Rainbow Dash wipes her mouth cleaning the vodka that dribbled down her face. “YEAAAHHHHHHH!!” shouts Rainbow Dash as she stage jumps into the crowd of ponies, who happily carry her off and around the whole building with her shouting “LOOK OUT FOR THE IRON PONY!!” “Hey Rarity, you should try those out.” Says Twilight gesturing to the drinks lined up on the tables. “A lady would never try such a thing so crude and disgusting,” says Rarity turning away from the tables stacked with drinks. “Just because you are now a princess does not mean you can tell a lady to- to involve herself in party pleasures.” “Aww, come on Rarity. Have a little fun!” exclaims Pinkie Pie as she tries to turn Rarity around back to the tables. “Well,” says Rarity thoughtfully, “Oh alright.” “Weeeeeeeeeeeee!” exclaims Pinkie Pie as she jumps up and down. “But only just one,” says Rarity as she looks at the drinks lined up on the table. “Well go on Rarity,” says Twilight encouragingly. Rarity hesitates, she looks at the cups and then around at the party. “Oh well. Might as well have some fun while I’m here,” says Rarity as her horn glows blue and a cup filled with vodka is illuminated in blue magic. The cup then levitates in the air and is brought closer to Rarity’s lips. “Here goes nothing,” shrugs Rarity as she tilts her head back and drinks the “magical liquid.” Rarity makes a face in disgust and spits the liquid out that was left in her mouth after she took her first swallow. The cup falls on the ground and rolls across the floor and into the corner of the room. “WOOOO-HOOOO!!” hollers Derpy Hooves as she slides down the stairs’ hoof railings. Somewhere in the shadows Peter Parker Jr. (aka: Feather Weight) snaps a few pictures of the presented scenes. “Well?” asks Twilight with a look of excitement on her face. “Wasn’t too bad,” replies Rarity with a little smile on her face. Rarity then looks back at the table- Pinkie Pie intercepts the glance and happily asks “You want some more?” “A little bit… I guess,” suggests Rarity as they trot back to the table of drinks. On the way Rarity thinks to herself, “This actually isn’t so bad after all.” “Attention every pony,” interrupts Pinkie Pie as the party music comes to a sudden stop, averting the attention of all the partying ponies to Pinkie Pie standing behind the DJ stage next to Vinyl Scratch. “We are here to celebrate the Princess-ification of Twilight Sparkle!” All the ponies in Sugar Cube Corner cheered, some whistled and threw their hooves up in the air. “LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED FOR PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!” shouted Pinkie Pie as Vinyl Scratch turned on the DJ system and revved up the orgasmic wubs. “YEEAAAHHH!!!” shouts a rather built white Pegasus with peculiarly short wings as he lifts several ponies over the crowded dance floor screaming in delight. [Scene transitions to the near front entrance to Sugar Cube Corner- that of which is guarded by several royal guards] “Hey,” says a rather buzzed Rainbow Dash as she nudges one of the royal guard in the breast plate. Muffled party music and heavy base can be heard from outside of the Sugar Cube Corner as several ponies would come and go from the building. “You wanna see my awesome cutie mark?” slurs Rainbow Dash as she leans on the guard right side. The guard blinks and maintains his bearing, looking straight forward. “You know- *HICK*- you’re a pretty good looking fella,” says Rainbow Dash as she rubs her left flank against the guards right flank. The guards’ eyes widen as his eyes barely shift right to left in a nervous, aroused manner as if determining his future course of action and the risks of doing so. “Well if you wanted to know where my cutie mark is,” slurs Rainbow Dash as she walks in front of the guard, rubbing her lifted tail below his chin “It’s right over here, right next to my a-” “There you are silly!” exclaims Pinkie Pie as she sticks her head through the open door. “I have been looking all over for you,” “Do you wanna see my cutie mark too?” slurs Rainbow Dash as she stumbles through the doorway past Pinkie Pie, back towards the party. “Nope, but I think he does,” says Pinkie Pie with a smile as she points to a rather handsome looking stallion in a Wonderbolt flight suite leaning against a wall amongst all the ponies cheering and parting to the orgasmic wubs. Rainbow Dash narrows her eyes as she walks through the crowd of party animals toward the stallion. “Wonderbolt my ass, he’s probably a fake,” thinks Rainbow Dash to herself as she stumbles through the crowded party floors. “And if he is a real Wonderbolt, I’m going to show him real wonder.” > Chapter 1: Afterglow > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTER 1: Afterglow Morning time; Ponyville is silent as the sun creeps up over the hills surrounding the sleepy town. The orange morning sunlight shines on the old Poniville water mill as it slowly whines and groans while it wakes up from sleeping all throughout the night. The bell tower strikes six slow, long, and loud strokes; the beginning of the day for the ponies in Ponyville… for those that are awake. [Scene transitions to the outside entrance of Sugar Cube Corner] Sugar Cube Corner is slowly illuminated by the morning sunlight as it reveals a hectic scene of toilet paper strung all around the building with trash thrown all around the store (as well as several unconscious ponies lying outside of the building. There’s one with a diaper on its head. Why? It must have been some night. There are even some knocked out royal guards among the hectic aftermath of the celebration.) [The scene then transition to the inside of Sugar Cube Corner.] Tables and chairs thrown on their sides, pieces of bread with peanut butter stuck all around the ceiling and windows, the d-j passed out on her equipment drooling all over the turn tables, a few messages written in crayon cover the walls (one reads- “Rainbow Dash did it!!” and another one reads- “HERE COMES TOM!!”). Juice puddles can be found anywhere on the floor, and red beer cups are scattered all across the building. Feathers and debris blown by the morning breeze glide across the buildings floor as… 148 ponies, lay unconscious in various places all throughout the building. “Oh… my head,” groans Rarity as she slowly opens her eyes. “Ugh… what happened in here?” Rarity asks herself as she blinks a few times in attempt to remember what happened and why she was there. [FLASH BACK] *MUSIC PLAYING * “I’m sexy and I know it” as Rarity is screaming at the top of her lungs while grinding on Applejacks lower left flank. [FLASH BACK ENDS] “Oh, that’s what happened.” Rarity says to herself as she stands up, swaying back and forth trying to keep her balance. “Phew, I think I got up too fast,” gasps Rarity as she balances herself out, blinking a few times in attempt to clear her vision. She then stands still as she realizes that she doesn’t see neither of her close friends around in the building, “Hmm, wonder what happened to them… ” Rarity wonders to herself as she’s cautiously stepping around the floor (in fear of slipping on juice and or trash… and of stepping on any pony that’s knocked out on the ground). “Why in Equestria do I have a royal guards’ helmet on?” thinks Rarity as she takes the helmet off. “I better get home… I think I locked Sweetie Bell outside,” says Rarity with a sly smile on her face as she exits Sugar Cube Corner. “Oh my,” says Rarity as she turns around and looks at the outside of the building, “Must have been- *HICK* -some night,” she says as she turns around and takes a deep breath. As Rarity walks away, a red heart drawn with red paint circled around her cutie mark can be seen on her right flank with a thick red arrow leading from the heart to in between her legs. As rarity walks down the street her curvy hips move up and down with her tail raised moving side to side. [Scene transitions to the upper story of Sugar Cube Corner; Pinkie Pies’ room] Trash thrown everywhere, pillows out of place, frosting and cupcakes smeared across the walls and the window broken with a pony just outside sleeping on the roof. Pinkie Pie’s bed is a mess; the sheets are thrown and unevenly placed, and there seems to be two figures snuggling each other in the sheets. “Darn sunlight,” moans Spike as he squints his eyes, turning away from the window. “I don’t wanna get up…” mumbles Spike as he closes his eyes. He takes a few relaxing breaths, and then pauses. His eyes dart open looking directly in front of him seeing Applejack’s face a couple inches away from his. Just as Spike realized that it was Applejack in front of him, she opens her eyes. At first her eyes are unfocused and slightly cross eyed as they stare straight through Spike. Then they gradually focus into Spikes eyes. A few seconds pass as Applejacks face goes from a lazy-half-asleep-smile to an aware-awake-serious-face as she looks Spike eye to eye; realizing where she is. Applejack and Spike scream as they try and run away from each other (but their attempts are foiled by the tangled up sheets in between them), ultimately sending them back next to each other… closer than before. “Get outta’ here!!” shouts Applejack as she struggles to get free from the blankets binding her and the dragon together. “That’s what I’m trying to do!” Spike shouts back as he’s trying to get his arm free from the sheets tangled around him. Applejack then tries to kick the sheets off of her, but she trips on a snagged piece of material wrapped around her back leg; sending her, and the dragon, flying over the edge of the bed onto the floor on top of each other. *WHUMP!* After the fall Spike finds himself on top of Applejack with blankets covering both him and the blushing, upside-down Applejack from the waist down. One of Applejacks leg is revealed up to the top of her thigh in an “exposing-sexual-suggesting-manner.” Spike, who is on top, has his hands placed on Applejacks chest (the dude accidentally got to second base) right when the door busts open, and Pinkie Pie snaps a few photos of the scene only after saying- “CHEESE!!” -and then she ran out of the room to make LOTS of copies, leaving the two in awkward silence… [The scene transitions to a lonely tree planted by the swimming hole/lake, located just right outside of Ponyville.] A large green, bushy tree slightly bends over the sanded ground surrounding the large swimming hole as a blue Pegasus with a rainbow colored main lays sprawled out on the sand in the shade along with a navy colored stallion beside her. A couple articles of a uniform are thrown among the two ponies as they lay knocked out on the floor. A cool breeze shuffles the tree’s leaves, whispering as a couple leaves detached and one gracefully settles down as gravity takes it’s time in pulling the object toward the floor, lightly on top of Rainbow Dashes nose. She slowly opens her eyes, and lazily focuses on the lone leaf resting on her nose. Rainbow Dash inhales and blows the leaf off of her nose with her bottom lip overlapping the top lip. The leaf rapidly rose into the air; doing a series of magnificent flips and turns, and then gracefully floated down towards the ground again. Her eyes widen as she gets an idea, “Yes, that would be awesome!” Rainbow Dash exclaims as she looks blankly into the air as she imagines her doing flips and spins similar to that the leaf just demonstrated. “Thank you leaf…” whispers Rainbow Dash as she gently picks up the leaf with her hoof, then watches it fly away as the breeze takes it aloft into the air. “I never thought that I would have thanked a leaf,” thought Rainbow Dash to herself. “Were you… just talking to that leaf?” slurs Soarin as he stretches out on his stomach. Rainbow Dash looks at the stallion on the sand, and squints trying to guess who the stallion is. Then it dawns on her, “Oh my-gosh,” says Rainbow Dash wide eyed covering her mouth with her right hoof. “Last night… was some night, huh Rainbow Dash?” yawns Soarin. Rainbow Dash stutters as she asks “Did- did I sleep with you?” Soarin smiles a lazy smile. “No, of course not,” replies Soarin. “Never with an amateur flyer like you,” Teases the stallion as he sits up. Rainbow Dash blushes and looks down at the floor, unable to maintain eye contact with the stallion looking right back at her. “I had a good time, and I’m looking forward to the next time we hang out… Rainbow Dash,” says the stallion Pegasus as he pulls his uniform over his right shoulder with his teeth (since ponies don’t have hands). “Even though I didn’t sleep with you” adds the Wonderbolt after a prolonged moment of awkward silence, “I had a great time with you swimming.” Says Soarin as he looks Rainbow Dash in the eyes. The two maintained eye contact for several seconds, each drawing closer until their muzzles were nearly touching. “Well,” says the stallion standing tall in front of Rainbow Dash after pulling back, “I can’t be late for practice. See you next time, and fly safe.” Says Soarin as he lifts off the ground while placing his flight goggles over his eyes. Then in the blink of an eye the stallion has gone off high in the sky with Rainbow Dash smiling, dazed; watching him spin tricks in the air. “What in Celestias’ beard happened? And where in Equestria did I get ‘Celestias beard’ from?” wonders Rainbow Dash as she lifts off in the air, heading back towards Ponyville. “I wonder what my friends are doing, and most of all what happened to them.” Thinks the blue Pegasus as she glides lazily through the sky over the green trees and grass towards the sleepy town. [Scene Transitions to a tree just within twenty feet of Sugar Cube Corner.] A green, normal healthy-looking tree stands idle within twenty feet of the building. The trunk of the tree then shakes a little as the tree rotates 360 degrees so that a pair of eye holes cut out in the trees trunk is facing the building. A couple of wide blue eyes cautiously fill the eye holes as they quickly look to the right and to the left; scanning her flanks. “Good, no pony’s here,” whispers Fluttershy as the trees trunk is split in half horizontally, exposing her head from her neck up to her fore head (the rest of the tree above her head is fitted like a hat). Fluttershy then jumps out of the tree disguise and cautiously walks around the building observing the hectic scene caused by the party last night. “Oh my,” says Fluttershy sheepishly as she steps through the front door of Sugar Cube Corner, looking at all the ponies passed out on the floor with trash all around the insides and outsides of the building. Fluttershy slowly backs out of the door way thinking to herself where all the places she might find her friends. “Maybe they’re already at their houses having a goodnights’ sleep,” she wonders to herself as she trots to her cottage, “or maybe not.” Fluttershy whispers to herself. [Scene transitions to the inside of Sugar Cube Corner.] Trash litters the floor, frosting is spread across the walls, chairs are overturned, a few tables flipped here and there, the chandelier is crooked, windows open, ponies thrown around the floor, on the couches, window sills, in the cabinets, and even one sleeping in the oven. Among all the chaos, there is one pony that stands out from among the rest. A pink pony lay on her back snoring on top of a pony named Cloud Chaser, who had one of Pound Cakes clean diaper on her face, a sticky sucker stuck in her mane, a soda stain on her right flank and a melted marshmallow over her cutie mark. Pinkie Pie slowly opens her eyes squinting at the morning sunlight streaming in through the windows. She then yawns and stretches out her back legs and then her front legs. “Ha ha, I’m upside down,” mumbles Pinkie Pie as she looks around the room on her back. “What a night,” says Pinkie Pie aloud to herself as she lifts up her head to look at her belly, to which she notices a smiley face drawn with frosting. “I wonder who did that,” wonders Pinkie Pie as she turns on her belly. Confetti from her mane falls onto her face and causes the pink pony to sneeze, and then laugh uncontrollably after. When Pinkie Pie is done laughing she stands up and sees all the ponies sprawled out on the floor, some drooling, some snoring, some grinning and some frowning. “I’m sure the cakes won’t mind,” says Pinkie Pie as she trots across the ponies laying on the floor, and occasionally steeping on some faces, tails, legs, and ears. “Sorry, sorry sorry,” says Pinkie Pie whenever she steps on a pony and they reply with a groan, growl, or anything of the sort. “Hey there’s my camera!” exclaims the Pink pony as she grabs the camera by the strap and tosses it in the air and lands around her neck. “I’ve been looking all over for you,” says Pinkie Pie stroking the camera, “I bet there’s a lot of great pictures in this thing,” remarks the party pony as she trots up the stairs towards her room. She then gets to her door at the end of the hall and see’s that it is closed and there is a sign on the door knob that reads- “DO NOT DISTURB, FUN ROOM IS OCCUPIED AND THERE IS FUN IN PROGRESS- THANK YOU” At the moment of reading such a sign Pinkie Pie’s eyes open wide and shiny as she peeks through the key hole trying to see who is in the room. Pinkie Pie gasps as she makes out the figures on her bed tangled in the sheets. “Spike and Applejack?!” exclaims Pinkie Pie as she gets her camera ready to take a picture. The pink pony stood by the side of the door way listening intently, ready to breach the door like a trained military S.W.A.T. team member with the camera pointed down as if it were a weapon. (from inside the room voices can be heard) “Get outta here!” “That’s what I’m trying to do!” *WHUMP* “Chocolate team breaching,” whispers Pinkie Pie as she powers her leg to kick open the door. *SLAM* The door busts open and Pinkie Pie snaps a couple photos of the two on the floor in a suggestive pose. “This is going to be great!” laughs Pinkie Pie as she races through the hallway and down the stairs. [Scene transitions to the inside of the library a day after the party.] Twilight opens her eyes as the overcast morning light streams in through the windows. She glances at the clock as she tosses the blankets off of her body. Sitting straight up in her bed, Twilight blinks a couple of times trying to adjust her eyes to the light coming in through the windows. Twilight yawns and stretches her legs, and unknowingly- her new wings. “Oh yeah,” mutters Twilight as she opens and closes her wings. After a moment of silence and a good rubbing of the eyes in attempt to get the sleep out of her system, Twilights’ gaze follows the dresser up to the mirror and down to her crown. The sudden dawn of what had happened reached Twilight as she realized she was to receive a message from Celestia early in the morning. The subject/reason was unknown to Twilight. “Spike, time to get up” yawns Twilight walking up to her mirror as her brush illuminated in purple magic runs through her mane a couple of times, combing a few knots out. “No, I don’t wanna get up,” slurs the sleepy dragon as he tosses and turns in his bed. “I had a rough night, even though I don’t quite remember what happened,” Mumbles the dragon as he sits himself up in his bed. “I also had a rough wake up too,” Spike muttered to himself as he lay back down in his bed. “What happened?” asked Twilight with sudden interest. “Nothing, don’t bother me.” Yawns the dragon. “Lemme get my beauty sleep.” “Spike,” warns Twilight “You better be up when I get out of the shower, if not… you know the punishment,” says the purple unicorn as she walks down the stairs. “And you should take a bath as well,” adds Twilight half way down the stairs. “You know that we are to receive a possible urgent summons from Celestia now that I am a princess.” “Okay, okay, I’m getting up, alright?” Growls Spike as he sits up in his bed. The blankets fall off of his body, exposing him to the morning air, Spike instantly starts to shiver. “Man, I hate cold summer mornings,” grumbles Spike as he grabs his blankets and covers his body. He walks down the stairs with his blankets wrapped around his shoulders as he grabs some fire wood and tosses it into the fire place. Spike dusts his hands off after he ignites the wood with his bright green flame. The fire roars to life, instantly warming up the library. “That takes care of that,” says Spike with satisfaction as he throws his blankets off into the laundry basket. Spike enters the steamy bathroom, letting cold air inside. “Spike, can you close the door?” asks Twilight behind the shower curtains. “Sure,” says Spike as he shuts the door from inside the bathroom. “Oh shoot,” says Twilight, “Hey, Spike. Are you still there?” asks Twilight as she turns the water off. “I’m sth-till here,” says Spike with his toothbrush in his mouth. “Can you hand me my body soap? I left it on my dresser in the room,” says Twilight through the shower curtain. “Oh, a-alright,” said Spike after rinsing his mouth in the sink. “Oh, and be careful of my crown, I just polished it,” adds Twilight from the shower. “You mean I just polished it,” mumbles Spike as he heads out of the bathroom. The little dragon runs up the stairs as fast as he can, huffing and puffing when he reaches the top. “Where’s her soap?” says the dragon as he’s trying to catch his breath. He then see’s a bar of soap on the dresser, located by her hair brush and next to the crown and other such personal items. “Got it!” yells Spike as he grabs the soap from the dresser. The little dragon runs down the stairs, his little legs moving fast as he coordinates himself down the steps. “Here… you go,” heaves Spike as he opens the bathroom door. “Thank you Spike,” thanks Twilight behind the curtain. The bar of soap is then illuminated in purple magic as it floats from out of Spikes hands and over the shower curtain. The water turns on again as Twilight begins humming a tune as Spike turns on the water to wash the crusty drool stains of last nights’ sleep off of his face. “What are you doing?” asks a curious Twilight as she enjoys her shower, “I’m washing” Spike says as he rinses his eyes, “My face.” “Do make sure to dry your face, and don’t make a mess on the floor, I don’t want you to slip,” says a concerned Twilight behind the shower curtains. “Okay,” responds Spike closing his eyes shut as he finishes rinsing his face. “Darn, now where’s the towel?” wonders Spike as he feels around the walls with his eyes shut (in fear of getting water in them). “Hey Twilight?” asks Spike turning toward the direction of the shower, “Do you know, where the towel is?” “Oh, I put it over the shower curtain here,” says Twilight as she turns the water on to rinse her mane. “Okay,” says Spike as he walks towards the shower with his hands spread out in front of him. He then felt the shower curtain, and cautiously dragged his hands up the material, looking for the towel… nothing. So Spike just wipes the water off of his eyes with his hands and looks up the curtain. Too high up, so Spike exits the bathroom to get a little step ladder so that he could reach the towel. Spike climbs up the steps, and reaches the top of the shower curtain and grabs the towel, drying the rest of his face off. Spike placed the towel back on the curtain rod it was hanging over, and happened to look down into the other side of the shower, only to see Twilight humming a happy tune as she enjoys the warmth of the water touching every part of her body… Spikes eyes widen. She turns around to face the shower faucet, and closes her eyes as the water trickles down her neck and drips off of her chest. Twilight opens her mouth, smiling as she enjoys the feel of the water tickling her back… her wings open and the feathers rise as stick up in the air. Spike leans a little farther out to see more of the scene. A bar of soap illuminated in purple magic begins to scrub Twilight, first her face down to her chin, slowly down her neck. A sly smile of pleasure is on Twilights face as the soap moves down to her chest, moving in slow, circular motions. Spike blinks a couple times, realizing what he’s watching and turns away, embarrassed of what he was doing. Spike hears a moan of pleasure from Twilight, and immediately turns around to continue watching with no hesitation. The soap now moved up to the lower back and near Twilights hips. Spike’s grip tightens on the curtain rod as he watches her hips slowly rotating as the bar of soap scrubs her thighs, Twilight’s tail raises and sticks her hips outward. Spike gulps and leans a little farther in to get a better look. The bar of soap starts scrubbing the inside of Twilights back legs, slowly moving up her leg toward… you know. Twilight closes her eyes, and bites her lip as the bar of soap begins scrubbing more aggressively, faster and harder. Spike loses his grip and is sent falling over the side into the shower. “AUGH!” yells Spike as he slams into the shower floor next to Twilight. “AHHH!” screams Twilight as the dragon lifts up his face and stutters “W-wait Twilight, I can explain,” “Were you watching me?!” asks a bewildered Twilight. “Y-yes,” stammers Spike. “Get Out!” exclaims a rather embarrassed Twilight. Without hesitation Spike runs out of the bathroom and into the hall when right behind him- *WHAM!* -the bathroom door is slammed shut. Spike is recovering from the adrenaline, slowly regaining his wits. “Could have been worse,” Spike thinks to himself as he recovers his breath. “Sucks I didn’t get to finish watching though,” says Spike as he picks himself up. [Fifteen minutes later.] Meanwhile, in the bathroom of the library Twilight is flattered and embarrassed while she thinks about what just happened. “I can’t believe Spike saw me,” Twilight says to herself as she dry’s off her body with a towel. Twilight looks in the mirror at herself on her way to the bathroom door, “I wonder if he liked what he saw,” thinks Twilight as she walks out of the bathroom. She stops and realizes what she just asked herself. “I-it was just an accident,” reassures Twilight as she brushes out her mane. Then she stops, and looks at her reflection in the bathrooms mirror raising her flank and wiggling her hips. “Oh, well.” says Twilight as she sets her brush down on the sink. Twilight opens the door to see if Spike was still there, nothing. “Spike,” calls Twilight from her room. Spike, at the moment is in the kitchen eating a blueberry muffin. “Spike,” calls Twilight a second time. Spike runs upstairs to her room dreading the upcoming awkward conversation, with his half eaten blueberry muffin in his grasp. “I want to know what you were doing in the bathroom watching me,” says Twilight as she combs a couple of knots out. “Oh, I-I was reaching for the towel when I just h-happened to look over and… see you,” says Spike nervously kicking at the floor, standing in the doorway to Twilights room. “Well, what did you think?” asks a curious Twilight as she places her brush on her dresser. Spike looks up, not really sure if what he heard is really what he heard, and looks nervously side to side, not sure if what he heard was reality or his blunt imagination. “Uh,” says Spike still trying to think. “Do you like what you saw,” asks Twilight as she turns around to face Spike. “W-what?” blushes Spike wide eyed. “It’s a simple question. Do you like what you saw?” asks Twilight with a look of curiousness in her eyes. “Well…” whispers Spike looking at the floor, “Y-yes… I do like what I saw,” says Spike as he pushes out his feelings while unconsciously crushing his half eaten blueberry muffin. “Oh?” says Twilight as a smile overcomes her face. “And why do you like what you saw in the shower?”asks the purple unicorn as she slowly approaches Spike. “Well, b-because… because you’re just,” says Spike blushing. “Go on,” Encourages Twilight, eagerly awaiting the dragons reply. “Beautiful… ” says Spike as his voice trails off as if he wanted to add more. “And?” Asks Twilight as she approaches closer. Twilights’ tail raises and her wings adjust as she nears Spike. “And your body, your curves, your hips, and… and just you!” exclaims Spike as he turns bright red. Twilight leans close to Spike, her lips close to his, closing her eyes as she says “Thank you for your honesty,” Spike’s heart beats intensifies as he looks at the purple unicorn’s lips right before his. Twilight leans in closer; Spike closes his eyes shut as his heart just stops dead. * MUAH* Twilight kisses Spike on his cheek, and retreats her lips away from Spike’s cheeks just enough so that her lips tickle Spike’s skin. “I couldn’t take my number one assistance’s first kiss away from him,” whispers Twilight in Spike’s ear. Spike’s eyes are wide open as the purple unicorn pulls back from the tender kiss, smiling. “W-what? Over already?” asks Spike with a dorky look on his face. “Who knows, someday maybe you’ll find a pony that’s a better kisser than I am,” giggles Twilight as she walks away to exit the room. “Wait… one quick question.” Says Spike right before Twilight is about to walk out the door, “Do you always do that while you take a shower?” asks Spike with a smile on his face. “Hmm, you’ll have to see for yourself,” teases Twilight looking over her shoulder at Spike as she walks out the library door. Spikes’ cheeks suddenly puff with gases as he goes cross eyed. *BURP!* A green flame spews out from Spikes open mouth and a rolled up letter falls onto the floor in front of Spikes feet. “A letter from Celestia I’m guessing,” says Twilight with a sudden tone of serious drowning out the naughty, mischievous tone Twilight had with Spike. “What does it say?” asks Spike as he nears Twilight trying to peer at the words scribbled onto the sheet of paper. Twilights eyes races from right to left as she reads the letter until they get to the bottom, and then they stop. “Signed Celestia,” whispers Twilight as her gaze lifts up from the paper and out of a window. “Go to Pinkie Pie and tell her to round up the girls, I need to tell them something ASAP,” commands Twilight as she rolls the letter back up and places it in an organized drawer. “Pinkie Pie?” asks Spike worried about the awkward confrontation of the pony that not only saw him with Applejack, but snapped a photo or two. “Yes Pinkie Pie, and get to her quick, time is of the essence,” says Twilight as she straightens out the sheets on her bed. “Right away ma’am,” says Spike as he salutes Twilight Sparkle, who in return gives a giggle at the dragons’ seemingly charming and bold attitude. “Okay number one assistant,” teases Twilight as the little dragon hurries out the bedroom and down the stairs. > Chapter 2: An Urgent Calling > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: An Urgent Calling [Scene Transitions to the skies of Ponyville.] The clouds are beginning to clear the skies as the morning sun progresses in its daily climb up to the top of the Equestrian sky. “Well, looks like the sun is going to be doing my job today,” says Rainbow Dash as she closes her cloud-house’s door behind her. She yawns, stretching her front legs in the air and doing a couple of back twists before she commences with the morning chores. “Let the fun begin!” announces Rainbow Dash as she charges up her wings before launching into a complete nose dive into the air. “YEAH!” exclaims the female blue Pegasus as she rapidly descends through the air down toward the ground. “Nothing like adrenaline to get the day started,” thinks Rainbow Dash as she pulls up inches away from the ground, barely touching the blades of grass as the morning dew-drops lift off of the grass in a trail behind her as she pulls up off into the air again. “Alright,” says Rainbow Dash as she looks around the sky, seeking out any stray clouds wandering around in her designated sector (some Pegasus ponies were assigned specific sectors of the sky to take care of on normal days… Rainbow Dash was assigned the largest sector.) “Gotcha,” says Rainbow Dash as her eyes lock onto a group of clouds sneaking around in her sector. *SWOOSH!* A streak of rainbow follows Rainbow Dash as she speeds through the open air, her mane flowing as the wind brushes through and all around her body. She closes her eyes as she banks to the right and commences into a free dive through the sky. “There’s nothing better than a morning flight,” Rainbow Dash says as she turns around on her back during free fall. “Rainbow Dash!” The blue Pegasus turns to look over her shoulder to see who called her. “Hey Rainbow Dash!” Rainbow Dash stops in mid flight, only this time to look all around her for an all too familiar voice. “Boo!” Rainbow Dash jumps, turning to the origin of the voice right next to her only to see a pink pony with few dozen brightly colored balloons tied around her waist staring at her only a few inches away from her own face. “Pinkie Pie! Don’t do that!” shouts Rainbow Dash startled by the pink ponies blue eyes starting at her from a few inches from Rainbow Dashes muzzle. “Did I scare you?” teases Pinkie Pie as she gices Rainbow Dash a nudge in the arm with her hoof. “No. No you did not scare me one bit at all,” replies Rainbow Dash in the best attempt to convince Pinkie Pie as she turns away from the pink pony and folded her arms. “What in Equestria are you doing here? Can’t you see that I am busy?” “Oh, well Twilight- I mean Princess Twilight requested that I gather up you, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy and get you guys to the Library ASAP,” explains Pinkie Pie as she looks up at the balloons holding her up several hundred feet in the air. “What for?” asks Rainbow Dash. “I don’t know, but all she told me, well what Spike told me was to get you guys so that she can tell you guys something, but if not all of you are there she can’t tell you, and if she can’t tell you guys we won’t know what she wanted to say, and if we don’t know what she wanted to say- “Pinkie,” says Rainbow Dash as calmly as she can. “-then we are all going to-” “PINKIE PIE!” shouts Rainbow Dash as she hovers in the air while her voice echoes all throughout the open sky. “Yes?” innocently whispers Pinkie Pie shrinking back away from Rainbow Dash into the balloons. “Did you find the others?” asks Rainbow Dash. “Nope, you are the first one I found,” replies the pink pony. “Okay then, let’s go and get the others,” says Rainbow Dash as she turns closing her wings and snapping her arms to her side with her legs shut tight, then suddenly drops straight down out of the sky towards the ground. Free falling then became 20% cooler. “Wait! Rainbow Dash!!” yells Pinkie Pie as the blue Pegasus grew smaller and smaller as she nears the ground. “RAINBOW DASH!!” shouts Pinkie Pie as she’s moving her legs as fast as she can, but is inevitably going nowhere. “Chocolate cotton ninny-muggins!!” exclaims Pinkie Pie as she starts nibbling at the balloon strings around her waist while she’s several hundred feet in the air. [Scene transitions to the Apple Families barn] *WHUMP!* Several apples drop from the apple tree as Applejack prepares for another trick. *WHUMP!* A dozen more apples fall from the tree as Applejack turns around to pick up the batch of apples from the ground. “Phew,” exhales the orange pony as she wipes the sweat off from her face looking around at all the wood buckets filled to the brim with delicious red apples. “An afternoon’s day’s work is almost finished,” sighs Applejack as she picks up an apple and tosses it into the bucket. “Twelve more apples to go,” thinks Applejack as she looks at the apples laying on the floor. “A-jay,” calls a deep voice from afar. Applejack looks around for the voice. “Big Mac?” calls out Applejack as she looks past all the trees surrounding her, “are you there?” asks Applejack. “Ee-yup, I’m right over here,” says the big red stallion as he walks up toward Applejack. “Oh there you are, what brings you up here?” asks Applejack as she wipes the sweat dripping down her face. “Go on down to the barn and take a rest, you’ve been working for quite a long time now,” says Big Mac as he chews on a stalk of wheat. “Well I’m almost done here,” says Applejack as she bends over to pick up some more apples. A sudden muscle pulls in her back leg along her thigh, sending look of pain across the orange pony’s face. “I thinks it’s best that you-” says Big Mac as Applejack looks at him with a tired face. “Oh alright, you win,” sighs Applejack as she slowly walks past her brother. As Applejack approaches the barn door she spots the mail pony with the daily delivery of mail approaching the Apple family’s property. “Might as well get that well I’m at it,” says a rather, tired Applejack as she limps up to the red mail box. Applejack winced as the muscle pulled in her thigh again, she then took a deep breath and sucked up the pain. “Might have pulled her somehow last night at the party,” thought the orange pony as she curved her hips and rest her lower back weight on her strong leg. The mail pony arrived a few minutes after Applejack arrived at the mail box. “Nothing much I reckon?” asked Applejack as the mail pony opened his saddle bag with his mouth. The mail pony was a rather slim, young looking stallion. Not much muscular, or much suiting to Applejacks standards of a good looking stallion should look like. “Just a sec,” replied the mail pony as he searched through the sorted mail inside his saddle bag, “ah, you do have some mail actually.” “For whom?” asked Applejack as she winced in agony as a sharp pain surged through her thigh up to her lower right flank muscle. “Let’s see, umm… there’s Granny Smith, Apple Bloom and Big Mac,” replied the mail pony. “Big Mac?” asked Applejack suddenly forgetting about the strained hind leg. “Yes,” answered the mail pony as he looked into the green eyes of the tired hard working mare. “Lemme see that,” muttered Applejack as she grabbed the mail from the mail pony’s saddle bag. “To Big Mac aka: Smoochie Poo,” read Applejack as her eyes moved from right to left as she read the writing on the front of the mail envelope. “From Mrs. Cheerilee aka: Pumpkin Pie,” A wry smile over comes Applejacks face as she sets off towards the Apple family barn. “Applajack!!” Applejack turns around to see Rainbow Dash speeding towards her over the ground at a daring altitude of 4ft. “Whoa nelly, what’s ridden your saddle?” asks Applejack as Rainbow Dash breaks several feet from her, sending dust from the dirt path into Applejacks’ face. “Sorry A-j,” says Rainbow Dash as Applejack coughs up some dust. “Twilight needs all of us at the library ASAP,” says Rainbow Dash as she stretches her wings. “What’s the matter? Why so sudden?” asks Applejack as she takes off her hat to dust it off. “I don’t know, Pinkie Pie just told me the same thing when she interrupted me when I was about to show a stray cloud who was boss,” replies Rainbow Dash as she gestures toward the sky. “Pinkie was flying?” says Applejack as she places her hat on her head. “She was tied to balloons,” states Rainbow Dash. “Anyway, come on or we’re going to be late!” “Where is Pinkie Pie now?” asks Applejack with a concerned tone to her question as she looks up into the sky. “I don’t know, she’s somewhere being Pinkie Pie I guess,” replies Rainbow Dash as she lifts off in the air hovering. “Okay, as long as she’s okay,” says Applejack as she walks out towards the front fence of the Apple family barn. “Why are you limping?” asks Rainbow Dash as she prods Applejacks back leg. “I must have strained it doing something last night at that party,” replies Applejack wincing in pain as she pulls her strained leg away from Rainbow Dashes prodding. “It doesn’t do this at this normal amount of daily work,” explains Applejack as she heads down the road towards Ponyville. A look of triumph overcomes Rainbow Dashes face as she realizes her athletic competition is now injured and now she no longer has any real competition. Noticing the boost of confidence in Rainbow Dash Applejack speaks, “Simmer down Sally, just cause I have a pulled muscle does not mean you can take advantage of the situation thinking that you are better and more athletic than me,” scolds Applejack. Rainbow Dash sniggers at the attempt to scold her. “Just you try and do what I was doing at the party last night,” challenges Applejack as she tosses her mane to the right side of her neck. “And just what were you doing at the party?” asks Rainbow Dash as she hovers over her rival. A sudden series of answers flows through Applejacks mind as she tries to think of a satisfying answer in attempt to put Rainbow Dash in her place. She then remembers the early morning when she woke up with Spike in bed. “I slept with some pony,” says Applejack looking up in the upper right corner of her eyes biting her lips. Rainbow Dash hovering over head did not see the obvious give away to Applejacks “half-lie” and ultimately fell for it. “With who?” asks Rainbow Dash with a tone of sudden interest in her voice landing on the floor in front of Applejack, stopping her in her path to look each other muzzle to muzzle. “I ain’t telling you nothing,” says Applejack as she walks around Rainbow Dash, pleased that she now has a hold on her over confident rival. Applejack is ahead Rainbow Dash several feet when Rainbow Dash searches for a way to stay at least even with her rival. “I could sleep with some pony too you know,” says Rainbow Dash in attempt to keep in step with her rival. Applejack stops and turns around with a sly smile on her face, squinting. “Prove it,” challenges Applejack with a sly smile on her face. “Anytime, anywhere,” replies Rainbow Dash as she spits on her right front hoof and sticks it out towards Applejack. “Deal,” answers Applejack while spitting on her right front hoof and meets Rainbow Dashes resulting in a no-matter-what agreement between the two best friends/competitors. In the back of Rainbow Dashes mind there was a little voice screaming at the top of it’s lungs- “WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO?!” But she just shrugged it off further into the depths of her subconscious- inevitably bound to haunt her at least once again in the unforeseeable future. A pony’s word is a pony’s word, especially the pony with the element of loyalty. [Scene transitions to the streets of Ponyville.] The morning is beginning to mature as it progresses through the day, and eventually once again will be nighttime. The sun makes its’ long journey across the sky, shining brighter and stronger as each minute passes by. There are birds chirping, butterflies flying, bees buzzing, humming birds humming and all the sort of peaceful happenings happening in Ponyville as the citizens of the happy Pony town go about their business. At this time in the morning there are usually no ponies around the library, but since the recent news of Twilight becoming a princess, there have been a number of ponies gathered around the great library tree hoping for a chance to see her. Among all the hustle and bustle, there is already gossip about the wild party that was held at Sugar Cube Corner, but the few that did not attend do not know has happened because either the ones that did attend are either sleeping, hung over at their house, or at the local jail. In the awaking streets of Ponyville, Spike wandered around the streets moving about the Ponies going about their daily business and gossip, looking for Fluttershy high and low, deep and wide, close and far and any other possibility of strategic searching. “I better find Fluttershy fast,” thinks Spike as he searches through a bush on the side of the walkway. “Where would I be if I were Fluttershy?” asks Spike aloud while stroking his imaginary moustache. Spike could only come up with three solutions to where Fluttershy can be at this time of day; either she is at A: at the spa, B: at her cottage, or C: in the wild somewhere taming animals and caring for animals. Spike groans to himself as he thinks of all the walking that is ahead of him. “If I only had wings,” thinks Spike rubbing his back where there would be wings. “What kind of dragon am I?” Spike asks himself as he takes a detour down toward the Ponyville spa. [Scene transitions to the front of the Ponyville Spa building.] “O… pen,” sighs Spike reading the sign in the window of the building as he strains to reach the door lever. Bingo. Spike successfully pulls down the lever and the door gives a quick jerk and then swings softly open. Doing so, there was a strong fragrance of sweet feminine perfume and a relaxing atmospheric sensation that escaped into the outside air. Spike sighs as his tensed muscles begin to relax as he lazily walks into the open door like a moth to a flame. “Good morning and welcome to the Ponyville Spa!” greets a mare with a sky blue coat and a soft pink mane and tail. Her mane is held back at the top of her brow by a white bandanna. “Today we are having a special on messages,” adds a mare with a soft pink coat and a sky blue mane and tail who also had her mane held back at the top of her brow by a white bandanna. Both of the mares have a white band around their neck with the spa logo on it. “Ah, the Spa sisters- Lotus and Aloe,” thinks Spike to himself as Lotus smiles at him from behind the front desk and as Aloe walks up to the stricken dragon, slightly smiling and battering her eye lids. Spikes’ eyes widen as they taken in the beautiful sight of the rather gorgeous Aloe walking up to him. “Beautiful, kind, curvy…” Spike’s sentence trails off as his eyes follows Aloe’s lower back thigh up to her flank. Some blood from Spikes right nostril trickles out and stops on the outward curve of his upper lip. Spike realizing that his nose was bleeding gives a quick deep sniff while covering his nose with his right hand. “How may we assist you?” asks one of the sisters. Snapping out his aroused induced trance, Spike remembers what he came here for. “Yeah, uh… I was wondering if Fluttershy is here because I am looking for her to tell her an urgent message,” answers Spike as he gazes into the sisters’ blue eyes. “Yes, she is here this morning,” replies Aloe as she approaches the little dragon. “She is?” asks Spike excitedly, glad that his searching is over. Another wave of relaxing air gracefully flowed through the building, and a sense of security, relaxation and ease overcomes Spikes’ body and subconscious, relaxation and ease flows through Spikes’ mind and muscles. “She is,” answers Lotus as she looks at another pony customer that had just walked through the front door. [Lotus can be heard in the background greeting the customer from behind the reception desk] “Fluttershy is currently in the hot bath,” adds Aloe. “Okay then, thanks,” says Spike as he walks through the arch way supported by two large pillars- each elegantly decorated differently. One of the pillars has light purple stripes twisted around the pillar similar to that of a candy cane, and the other has light colored floral decorations around the pillar. At the top of both pillars is a golden colored bar wrapped around the top of the pillars before the rest branches off into an elegant arch connecting the pillars together. Spike pauses for a few seconds as he takes in the relaxing architectural interior structure along with the complementary decorations; plants, vases, a couple lamps hanging down in between each pillar along the interior perimeter of the building as well as a giant elegant chandelier decorated with graceful, clear crystals… so clear and magnificent that even the slightest hint of light that would hit the crystals will result in a magnificent array of colors produced from the reflecting particles of light streaming through the many, expensive crystals dangling on the chandelier. As Spike continues to admire the interior of the spa building, a cool breeze fills the giant, main circular spa room with several light, fruity fragrances that trickles up the dragons’ nostrils. “Fluttershy,” says Spike remembering why he was at the spa building as he walks into the middle of the circular room. To the right of Spike- along the walls are the mud baths; next are the individual soaking baths (each provided with a large, transportable/deployable yellow colored rectangular sheet of thin material with golden trim along the horizontal edges- a shield used for privacy for those ponies that do have standards), then last but not least is the hot bath. This hot bath is a rather giant solid, furnished and polished wooden circular tub resting on the marble floor of the spa building. There are some steps along the right side of the hot bath that bring the ponies (or whatever creatures’) feet level with the lip of the wooden tub so that entering the hot bath would be less strenuous than one trying to climb over the lip of the tub. On the left side of the tub there are no steps at all, just a plant in a vase near the edge of the elevated floor. The elevated floor nearly wraps around the whole perimeter of the hot tub, only leaving several feet of bare tub to be seen from the center of the spa building. Around the edge of the elevated floor are seven purple and white striped pillars (not much taller than that of a grown mare) - each with a lightly colored purple foggy glass barrier in between each of the pillars. To the left of the hot tub on the marble floor are six reclined light purple chairs (similar to that of beach chairs, only with pillows, cushion and lace) encircling the large tub. On each of the reclined chairs’ seats are white towels with royal purple trim and bath robes all folded neatly and elegantly arranged. In the background of the spa building there are cubbies here and there that are stocked with soaps, robes, towels, slippers, sponges, mirrors, etc. They are even supplied with the latest local and international juicy gossip magazines. “Spike?” The little dragon opens his eyes and looks at the lip of the giant wooden tub, and there is Fluttershy with her front two legs curved over the lip of the tub as she looks down at Spike from the tub. “There you are,” says Spike as he rubs the back of his head. “Is um… something wrong?” asks the timid Pegasus as she watches Spike walk up the steps on the side of the tub. “That’s a question a do not know,” replies the purple dragon as he places his hands on his knees, looking down at Fluttershy wadding through the warm water towards Spike. A look of worry overcomes Fluttershys’ face as she see’s Spike taking a breath in preparation a message to be said. “Twilight sent me on a quest to look for you because she is requesting you, Pinkie Pie, Applaejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity to come to the Library ASAP. Twilight received a rather important letter from Celestia, and she wants to tell you guys something. I do not know what she wants to say, or what the letter said… she didn’t even tell me what was in the letter.” Finishes Spike as he catches his breathe. “Oh my goodness… does it have to do with the party?” whispers Fluttershy as she gets colder to the lip of the tub. “I do not know,” answers Spike. “Is somepony in trouble with the law?” whimpers the yellow Pegasus as she sinks into the water. “I don’t know, and for Celestias’ sake let’s go to the library… everypony’s probably waiting for you,” says Spike as he splashes a couple drops of water on Fluttershys’ face, causing her to whimper and sneeze. “O-okay then,” says Fluttershy as she steps out of the wooden tub onto the elevated floor next to the lip of the tub. Fluttershy grasps a white towel in her mouth that was hung neatly on a hook and flings it over her back . “Um, Spike…” whispers Fluttershy. Spike is already halfway down the steps leading to the main floor when he stops and turns around to answer the yellow, timid Pegasus. “What’s the matter?” asks Spike as he walks back up to Fluttershy. “Um, can you dry my back and lower end for me? T-that is if you don’t mind.” Whispers Fluttershy as she looks down at the floor. “I slept wrong last night and my neck feels weird.” “Okay, I’ll do it,” answers Spike as he walks up to Fluttershy. Spike then places his hands (claws, paws, whatever they are called) on the towel and starts rubbing Fluttershys’ back. “Harder please… that is if you don’t mind,” whispers the yellow Pegasus as shesquints her right eye in delight of her back being rubbed. Spike readjusts his grip on the ponys’ back through the towel and begins to thoroughly rub Fluttershys’ back harder, faster, back and forth, side to side up and down. “L-lower,” gasps Fluttershy closing both her eyes and bighting her lower lip. Spike moves the towel down to her lower back nearing her hips. As he does so, Fluttershy gives a quiet moan and raises her hips. Spike hears the slight moan and feels the yellow Pegasus trembling in delight as he moves his hands lower down to her hips. He continues to rub her back hard and fast. “Faster.” Moans Fluttershy as she lifts her head up toward the ceiling, gasping for air. Spikes eyes widen as he sees Fluttershys’ blushing face turning to the side as she bights her lower lip. He quickens his pace in attempt to satisfy the yellow Pegasus’ pleasure. Spikes heart drops as he realizes that his hands are now on Fluttershys’ lower flank, near her inner thighs right next to her… Fluttershys’ tail rises as she whimpers from pleasure, unintentionally lifting the pure white towel, exposing all for Spike to see. A thick stream of red blood steadily flows from out of Spikes left nostril down to the top of his lip, down the side of his mouth and down his chin. “Spike, can you dry my back legs for me? That is if you don’t mind,” whispers Fluttershy with a complete innocent sounding voice as she spreads her back legs and her hips and tail. Upon seeing this, Spikes’ eyes roll upwards and his body sways forward, then back, forward again and then all the way backwards- his back landing on the floor causing a semi-loud thud. Spike lets out a sigh as he blinks a couple of times; a sloppy smile then overcomes his face as he stares lazily up into the ceiling of the Ponyville spa. “This is my most favorite place in Ponyville,” lazily thinks Spike to himself as another drip of blood leaks out his right nostril. [The surrounding noises become dimmer and more faint as Spike shuts his eyes. Fluttershys’ voice can be heard with a tone of concern in it,] “Spike? Spike? Oh my goodness,” [The surrounding noises then become indistinguishable as Spike tries to open his heavy eyelids as if fighting a heavy tranquilizer serum,] “Awe man, I totally forgot about Twilight and the others… pony feathers,” thinks Spike to himself as he gives in to his drowsiness. After a sigh of satisfaction, Spikes’ heavy eyelids then close shut as his body goes limp- relaxing from the tension stored in his little muscles. Then silence. > Princess, Princess, Princess. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Princess, Princess, Princess. [Scene transitions to the Canterlot Castle housing the three rulers of all civilized organisms in Equestria- Celestia, Luna and Cadence] All is silent in the Canterlot castle hallways- all that can be heard is the faint whisper of the royal guards conversing with each other and the occasional cough in attempt to ease the silence and seldom awkwardness of the silent hall. Outside of the castle is heat, but inside the castle is a cool, air conditioned haven (which the guards guarding the hallways very much appreciate after their weekly shift from outdoors guard duty to hallway guard duty). The hall is dim, the air is cool and relaxing… almost too relaxing. [Scene transitions to Celestias’ room.] The room is cool and a slight warm breeze drifts through the room through an open window, also allowing some sunlight to drift into the living quarters of the princess. There the princess is, lying on the couch with a light pink sweat band wrapped around her forehead that reads “CELESTIA RULES.” In front of Celestia is a pile of letters, papers and books that look very important… but the princess’ mind is absorbed by a fresh, ripe yellow banana that she had just gotten from the snack bar in the castles’ “Princess” lounge. *KNOCK! KNOCK!* The door to Celestias’ room swings open without any approval. “There thou art oh sister of mine!” exclaims Luna with a smile on her face as she walks into her sisters’ room. Luna is also wearing a light pink sweat band on her forehead and on each of her legs. “You really need to learn how to speak normally…” says Celestia as her banana is illuminated by her yellow/gold magic. She looks up at Luna- who is no longer smiling but with a look of confusion on her face, and then adds “… You know, speak the modern language of today.” Half of a smile returns to Luna’s face as she approaches her sister who is now peeling the skin off of the banana- revealing the fruit within. “I have been practicing, sister,” says Luna as she steps over the disorganized piles of papers, books, and food wrappers littered across the floor. “Yo, check out my new language skills dude,” says Luna as she poses like a gangster. Celestia, after taking a long savoring bite from her banana, looks up at Luna with a look of curiosity on her face. “When did you learn to talk like that?” asks Celestia. “After Nightmare Night in Ponyville,” explains Luna as she prods at a fluffy pink pillow lying on the ground. “Mm-hmm,” mumbles Celestia with a mouth full of banana as she flips through several pages of the Canterlot gossip magazine. Several seconds of awkward silence fills the room. “I’m bored,” says Luna as she kicks at the floor with the tip of her hoof. “I beat all of my PS3 games,” “Oh, go and get some more then.” Says Celestia as she stretches her hind legs along the couch. “But I’m lonely,” sighs Luna as she lowers her head, her flowing mane drooping as if her happiness is seeping out of her heart. “I can’t help you there Luna,” says Celestia yawning, “but Princess Cadence is here in the castle… and Princess Twilight Sparkle is due to be here soon… just don’t bother me right now.” Lunas’ eyes widen as her flowing mane flows more lively than ever before. “Princess Cadence is here? And Princess Twilight Sparkle will be here as well?” asks Luna excitedly, a huge smile overcomes her face at the thought of them having fun together all summer long. “Yes, Twilights’ friends will also be accompanying her,” adds Celestia as a TV remote from across the room is illuminated in yellow/gold magic and floats across the room in front of the princess lying on the couch. “So you sent the letter to princess Twilight Sparkle?” asks Luna as she watches the big, flat screen television mounted on the wall snap to life. “Yes I did, and I am still awaiting her response,” says Celestia as she flips through a few television channels. “Oh,” says Luna as she looks out the open window. “Luna,” yawns Celestia while still flipping through some television channels. “Yes?” replies Luna, still gazing out the window into the mystical daylight… “Will you please go down to the Princess lobby and get me some popcorn… and a banana?” asks Celestia as she adjusts a few laced pillows to make her position on the couch more comfortable. “For sure,” answers Luna as she walks toward the doorway of Celestias’ room. “And shut the door on your way out,” orders Celestia from the couch. “I can’t hear you,” replies Luna over her shoulder as she walks through the door way and into the hallway. Celestia rolls her eyes as the door to her room is illuminated in gold magic and closes shut. “Popcorn and banana, popcorn and banana, popcorn and banana,” Luna says to herself as she walks down the hallway. “Good afternoon Princess Luna,” greets a guard as she passes by. “Greetings good sir, I mean… what’s up?” replies Luna as she continues on her way, leaving the guard that greeted her unsure of if his hearing is going bad. Luna continues down the hallway towards the large door labeled “Princess Lounge.” “Here we are,” says Luna as she looks up and down at the door. “Hey there Luna,” says a voice from behind Luna. Luna turns around to see a pink Allicorn with a tri-colored mane, none other than Princess Cadence herself. “Hey there Cadence!” exclaims Luna as her eyes grow big and shiny, overflowed with joy as she trots up to the pink princess. “I saw you walking down this hallway and you looked lonely and lost in thought,” says Cadence with a warm smile. “It looks like you could use some company, no?” A look of joy overcomes Lunas’ face at the suggestion of company. “Sure I could use some company,” replies Luna as she shifts her legs excitedly. “Alright then, what do you want to do?” asks Cadence with a smile on her face. Luna takes a deep breath and several seconds of silence pass by as Luna bites her lip thinking of the thousands of things she has always wanted to do on her “To Do List.” Then Lunas’ eyes widen as smile overcomes her face, her eyes sparkling and shining. “I want to play pranks on my sister Celestia!” exclaims Luna as she points her right hoof in the air. Cadence gives a laugh at the thought of pulling pranks on Celestia and the many ways of doing so. “I’m down for that,” replies the pink Allicorn Princess as she nudges Lunas' side. Lunas' stomach growls abruptly, breaking the short lived silence between the two lively Princesses. “But I am kind of hungry,” adds Luna. “Yeah, now that you mention hunger… I am pretty hungry myself too,” replies Cadence as she looks up into her thoughts. “Do you want to get something to eat with me?” Asks Luna nervously. Cadence smiles at the timid nature of Luna. “Sure, and I know of an outstanding restaurant down in the Canterlot shopping Plaza.” answers Cadence with a warm smile. Luna smiles at the idea of going outside of the castle during day time, let alone the adventure itself. “Okay then let’s go,” says Cadence as she trots toward the doorway of the elevator. Luna hesitates for a couple of seconds. “Well I was actually thinking of flying there…” Luna trots up to an open window in the hallway and spreads her wings, “Kinda tired of being cooped up in the castle all day.” Cadence smiles as her hair is illuminated by her baby blue magic and is tied into a pony tail. “Sure, I’m down for a flight,” replies the Princess as she approaches the window with her wings spread open. “Last one there is a rotten banana!” shouts Cadence before she leaps out of the open window, soaring through the summer air. Luna laughs as she too leaps out of the open window and diving through the summer air. “Sure looks like it’s going to be a fun summer,” thinks Luna as she pulls up into the sky close behind Cadence.
