Crashing into a Dream

Rainbow Dash awoke to a mess of fuzz in her muzzle, potentially the sleekest, smoothest fuzz she'd ever felt in her life. Unfortunately, that meant it tickled like hell, and she had to roll away some in order to prevent herself from sneezing everywhere. Her snout twitched as she realised that what she'd instead rolled onto was an outstretched wing, almost like a hammock. Luna stirred at the motion, and after a few moments, her eyes opened.

Both of them stayed completely still as they realised just how close they'd gotten to each other through the night, sunlight bleeding into the room.

Rainbow's eyes were like pinpricks as she attempted to look anywhere but at her princess, who quickly swept away her wing and clambered out of bed, not saying a word. Well, if trashing Luna's bedroom and cumming on her sister's sheets wasn't bad enough, Rainbow had managed to fall asleep cuddling her to boot. "Luna, I—"

"I slept well, too, Rainbow Dash." Luna cut her off, stretching out and lightly cracking her neck. "Now, we have a meeting to attend in less than an hour, and I'd like to be sure you're ready."

Rainbow shrugged before kicking the covers off, rolling off the bed and hitting the floor on all fours. "Heh, I'm always ready!" she boasted, trying to hide the fact that she felt really damn nervous about the coming meeting. "Number one readiest pegasus right here, you're looking at her."

Luna walked around the bed, narrowing her eyes at Rainbow the moment she came into view. "Funny, that. Considering you're charged with cleaning and tidying for me, you've left our bed completely unmade. Do you think you could fix that?"

There it was already, the regression Rainbow had anticipated. It was only slight, but Rainbow's ears picked it up instantly. There was less force in her tone, and she asking for the help, not telling Rainbow to do it. Rainbow also didn't fail to notice the fact that she'd called it 'their' bed. "I mean, I coulddd, but shouldn't I be in uniform before I start the day's tasks, princess?" She said it in the most obnoxiously sweet manner she could, hoping to push Luna's buttons in the right way.

"You're right, you should be, but I don't have time to waste. Make the bed, Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow stifled her victory grin, putting on a rather convincing groan. "Fine, fine..." Rainbow knew that all Luna needed was a little push in the right direction, and the effort she was having to put into it was becoming less and less substantial as Luna began to come into her own element. She stood there silently, watching as Rainbow fluffed the pillows and pulled the duvet over the bed, making sure it was neatly folded back. She may not have looked it, but Rainbow knew how to be tidy. Once she was finished, she looked back to Luna with a smile. "There, how's that?"

Luna walked over to the bed, scrutinising it with a steady gaze before shaking her head. "You've made it improperly. The cushions should be facing in a diagonal, diamond shape, the pillows should be put closer together, and the sheet should be folded at the hem, not further up."

Rainbow cocked a brow, flapping over the bed as she recounted the details from last night. "You didn't have it like that yesterday, it was like this."

Luna flashed a grin. "When did I say that I make the bed properly?"

Ooh, she was good. Rainbow pouted, turning to face Luna with a petulant whine. "But that's not fair!"

Luna's eyes narrowed, her teeth flashing as she raised her voice. "When did I say that I would be fair? You're to do as you're bidden, and I say to make it again."

There it was again, that subtle change of demeanour that made Rainbow's heart pump faster. "Yes, princess," she uttered at once, taking off to completely redo the whole thing, only to pause when Luna started to chuckle. "Princess?"

"Heheheh... I'm only joking with you, Rainbow Dash. It's perfect as it is. Come, we need to get you ready."

Rainbow Dash blinked hard at that, shocked by the duplicity. Since when was Luna the one winding her up? Who was in control here? The more Rainbow pondered that, the more confused she got. She wanted Luna to take charge of her, but she was having to subtly take charge of Luna to get her to do that, but now Luna was playing jokes on her? Jeez, this was too complex for this early in the morning.

"Rainbow Dash? Are you coming or not?" Luna waited expectantly for Rainbow, who looked over and found her standing at the open door to the bathroom.

"What, are you calling me dirty?" Rainbow snickered, brushing at her own wither as she flicked her mane back. When Luna's gaze remained solidly on her, Rainbow blushed by instinct. "What?! I showered yesterday!"

"And then proceeded to get drunk and hurt yourself. You could use a bath, it'll do your body some good. Come, we have time." Luna clearly wasn't taking no for an answer, and turned around and kept walking into the bathroom before Rainbow could even try to argue. Scowling, she followed on, hoping she'd at least get the chance to see Luna wet again.

When she arrived in the bathroom, she found that Luna had already started drawing a bath. Unlike Rainbow, she actually knew which of the toiletries to use, and now that there was light in the room, the place had a light golden sheen to it that contrasted with the dark mural of the ceiling and the marble of the bath. A peachy fragrance rose from the bath in the form of steam, hitting Rainbow's senses the moment she stepped inside. It smelled so good that she had to remind herself not to try and drink the bathwater.

"Don't worry, I don't have to dry you this time if you'd rather save yourself the embarrassment," Luna laughed, eyes closed in contentment as she adjusted the heat. "That is unless you take too long, we do have a meeting to get to." She levitated a bottle over to Rainbow, briefly showing it to her. "This is the treatment I placed in your bath, it'll go a long way to healing the bruises on your body, and stop them from being painful in the meantime."

Thoughts of Luna drying her again were dashed completely by the mention that she'd been bruised. Come to think of it, she was starting to ache a little, but it wasn't so bad compared to a couple of the times she'd smashed into Twilight's old tree house. Rainbow Dash looked herself over in the mirror, and while she didn't look terrible, there were a couple of nasty marks on her that she wouldn't mind tackling. She'd never tried any kind of healing elixir before, and imagined it was probably super expensive, which only made her more grateful that Luna was willing to expend some on her. "Thank you, Luna."

"Call me 'princess," Luna smirked. "You're on duty starting now, Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow saluted as the bath continued to fill, causing Luna to shake her head.

"No, that isn't proper etiquette, Rainbow Dash. You're expected to bow before your princess, like a proper lady. Can you bow for me, Rainbow?" Luna seemed to be having too much fun with this, if the way that she smiled and the slow nature of her words was any indication.

The more fun she was having, the more fun Rainbow was having, but she couldn't let onto that, even if she really wanted to. Ears folded back, Rainbow inclined her head, lowering it by about half a foot and maintaining the position for a couple of seconds before bringing it back up to look at the taller mare. "Was that good, princess?"

"You're learning," Luna said, walking forwards and lightly ruffling her mane like a pet that had just performed a good trick. "You even said my proper title this time. I'm impressed." With that, she turned to stop the bath water from running, the bath now being almost completely full, and tested the temperature. "Hmm... it's alright for me, but dip a hoof in, Rainbow, see what you think."

Rainbow Dash stepped forwards as her princess told her to, taking a hoof and going to press it in the water, but stopped just shy of breaking the surface, pulling her hoof away in alarm. "That's hot! Really hot! That's got to be boiling or more!" She waved her hoof manically in order to brush away the heat, but luckily it hadn't been more than a very light sting.

Luna cocked her head, dipping a hoof in the water once more, then looked quizzically at Rainbow. "Are you being serious with me at the moment? I can't tell." When Rainbow continued to wave her hoof, giving her a look that said 'do I look like I'm being freaking serious?!', Luna suddenly realised the issue, gasping. "Oh, of course, it's because you aren't an alicorn. I'm sorry, I'm not used to sharing baths with other ponies, save Celestia when we were younger. I'll lower the temperature at once."

While Luna fired up the spell to do so, a lot of thoughts bounced around Rainbow's heads at once. First off, she knew alicorns were resilient, but holy hell, they could bathe in that? Not only that, but mention of Luna bathing with her sister was ridiculously enticing, damn Rainbow's filthy mind, but above anything else, the thing that put a lump in Rainbow's throat and gave her serious risk of a nosebleed? "Wh-what do you mean 'sharing baths'?"

"Well, there isn't enough time for us to take turns, Rainbow Dash, and I didn't get to finish mine last night, due to an interruption I wasn't expecting." She gave her a pointed stare. "The bath is more than big enough for the both of us, I trust you'll have plenty of space."

"W-well, yeah, but—" Luna stopped listening, lifting herself up and climbing into the bath, beginning to lather up her body with a cleansing gel. "Wow okay we're doing this." Rainbow didn't usually squeak out her words, but she figured some occasions allowed for an exception. Luna was apparently perfectly content to stand there right in front of Rainbow and use her magic to rub lotions into her fur, sighing in relaxation and beginning to really work the gel in as her tail swished to and fro, flicking water about in the large tub.

Rainbow wanted to hesitate, but she knew she'd only be scolded if she did, so she hopped up and inside of the bath, only for Luna to turn and flash her a smile. "I told you there was space aplenty. I'd usually sing in here, but I'm not going to subject you to that, no matter how you might be indebted to me." Luna turned away from Rainbow, bending down to put her head in the water and wet her mane. When she dipped it, her tail seemed to rise by instinct, and Rainbow got a good glance at what the princess kept hidden beneath. Needless to say, it was a good thing her body was already submerged in water at this point.

She tried not to stare, but she couldn't help it. Luna had such rounded, supple flanks, and what laid between her legs looked so sweet and inviting... Rainbow could feel her mouth beginning to open from sheer desire, tongue poking out, but the moment Luna's starry mane flicked back out from under the water, causing a splash that hit Rainbow square in the face, she realised how overtly she was looking and quickly switched her gaze away. Shaking her mane from side to side like an oversized cat, Luna turned to face Rainbow. "You should wet your mane, it needs to be shampooed quickly."

Rainbow could barely even remember her own name at this point, what with all the blood rushing to her head from what she just saw, but she just about managed to take the cue. With a sly smirk, she realised something she could do to get Luna back, and turning away from her, just as she did, she dipped her head under whilst lifting her tail as high as she could, spreading her thighs a little and exposing absolutely everything. With her head underwater, she had no clue if the princess stared, but she tried to keep it submerged for as long as she could, just so Luna got the chance to have a good look. Once five seconds had passed, she pulled her muzzle out with a gasp, throwing her mane back.

And Luna was still looking directly at her, playing with her mane as she did so, her face flushed. Rainbow cheered on the inside, she'd done her job. "R-right," Luna started, shaking her head a little and clearing her throat. "Come over here, I'll apply your shampoo." Luna seemed to be having a hard time looking at Rainbow now, as opposed to her staring just moments ago, and Rainbow absolutely loved it.

Rainbow stepped over to Luna, water swaying around her legs as she did so, and once she was right in front of her, Luna sat on her haunches. Using her hooves rather than her magic, she opened a bottle of mane and tail shampoo and emptied a large dollop into her cupped hooves before bringing it forward to Rainbow and beginning to rub it in.

Rainbow had to stop herself from cooing at the contact. Luna was exceptionally gentle, as well as thorough, and the feeling of getting the shampoo rubbed into her mane was almost identical to a scalp massage, causing her breaths to slow and her mind to clear. It was so relaxing that she started to worry that she might fall asleep again, and after about twenty seconds of contact, Rainbow let out a noise that was almost akin to a purr.

Luckily, Luna didn't choose to tease her about it. Once she was finished with the bliss of rubbing it in, Luna used her magic to direct a small stream of water from the bath, causing it to cascade down Rainbow's mane and wash the shampoo out. She used her hooves to ensure that all of it was coming out properly, before switching to another part of her head and brushing the water through again. It was almost like having a shower nozzle pressed over her head, and just as Luna finished, Rainbow had an idea.

"Say, princess..." Rainbow thought about how to word it, not wanting it to come out in the wrong way. "Do you think you could use your magic to make more of those streams under the water, like a hot tub?"

"I often do," Luna nodded, and with a flash of her horn, the water began to jut and spray beneath the pair of them, calming and relaxing.

The reason Rainbow didn't want it to come out wrong was that half the reason she'd asked was her curiosity as to what one of those small but powerful jets of water might feel like against the more sensitive parts of her body. Unfortunately, the only one that was hitting her directly was against her chest, so as much as she wanted to feel it, she had to think of some kind of excuse to move her body up, to get it closer. Rainbow blinked, another idea forming as she smiled to herself.

"Princess, would you mind if I returned the favour? I want to start being useful for you..." Rainbow was sure to keep her voice as sweet as possible, and just as she imagined, Luna nodded. She used her magic to empty out some of the lotion into Rainbow's hooves, and shifting forwards, Rainbow sat on her haunches as Luna dipped her head, allowing her free access to her mane.

Rainbow could now feel the spray against her lower belly, she just needed to shift a tiny bit closer to sate her curiosity. Still, Luna was waiting and probably wondering what was taking so long, so Rainbow chose to focus on the task at hoof, bringing her hooves forwards and reciprocating the gesture that Luna had extended to her.

Gods, did her mane feel amazing. Even when it was wet, it was smooth to the touch and silkier than anything Rainbow had ever felt, perhaps more so than it had been last night. Rainbow wasted no time in beginning to rub the lotion in, but what she didn't count on were Luna's little hums of approval. Apparently, she seemed to adore having her mane touched. That only made Rainbow want to drag it out more, slowing the motions of her hooves and making sure to get every last one of her long, luxurious locks lathered up.

"You have quite an affinity for this," Luna praised as Rainbow carried on with the treatment, her hooves slowing down, her body shifting forwards ever so slightly as she was still in search of her secret sensation. She could feel the single stream sitting so close to her clit now, just another shift forwards and it'd be directly under her.

But if she moved any closer, her body would be almost directly on Luna. Maybe Luna had planned for this, to tease her with the placement of the streams, or maybe it was coincidence, but all Rainbow knew was that she'd come to close to give up now. "I just need to reach the back a little better..." she muttered, a total lie, bringing herself forwards until Luna's muzzle rested against her chest, the ends of her wet mane dipping into the bath. Rainbow felt that light jet against her just as she'd wanted to, and the results, while not explosive, were extremely pleasant and difficult to ignore.

She squirmed in place, continuing to massage Luna's head with her hooves, occasionally slipping her grip and beginning to rub at the back and sides of her neck, very occasionally touching at her withers. It was totally on purpose, of course, but it didn't help that the constant satisfying pressure of the stream below her was making it difficult to concentrate on what she was doing.

After what must have been a minute of Luna's sweet sighs and the caress of the water against her sensitive nub, Luna raised her head a little, peaking out at Rainbow from one eye. "While this does feel heavenly, I fear we'll never arrive at the meeting if you continue..."

Rainbow carried on regardless, finding a smirk and a light pant at the same time, rubbing at the princess as she looked back down at her. "Tell me to stop then, if you really want me to." She teased Luna with another grab at her withers, making her gasp. The shift in power was so obvious, she was putty in Rainbow's hooves at this point.

"Perhaps I won't need to," Luna grinned back, her horn flashing again.

Just as Rainbow was about to celebrate her victory, she suddenly cried out, blushing madly, her hooves slipping and her body clenching hard. Luna had just turned up the pressure of the stream immensely, right beneath her, and her entire body felt alight with pleasure. "O-oh my god, Luna!"

"That's princess to you," she winked, knowing exactly what she'd just done. "Now, are you going to behave for me?" She began fluctuating the pressure of the streams beneath, almost like a warning, making Rainbow's body pulse beautifully. "Or do I need to intensify this further?"

"N-no, princess!" Rainbow cried, barely able to contain herself. She'd always taken Luna for a trickster, but to do that? There was no doubt about any of it now. If Rainbow hadn't been sure if the sexual tension between them was mutual before, that question was definitely settled now. "I'll wash it out now, I promise!"

"Good," Luna smiled softly, releasing her spell and making the streams calm. "See that you take it slowly, your hooves do feel wonderful."

So that was her game, huh? Clearly do something naughty but not admit to it, knowing that whoever acknowledged the dirty details of what just happened first would be the loser. No question that Rainbow Dash was shocked by it, but more than anything, she was impressed, and only intrigued further, if such a thing was even possible. Then again, was it just a tease for Luna, an acknowledgment that she knew how Rainbow was feeling, or an effort to say that she felt the same way?

Rainbow still needed to test the waters somehow. She started to rinse the shampoo out of Luna's mane, taking her time just as Luna had suggested. It was serene and peaceful, and served to help her forget about the million questions plaguing her mind, at least for long enough to get the job done. When she was finally finished, she was reluctant to part contact, but managed all the same.

"Thank you, Rainbow Dash." Luna smoothed out her mane before going back to washing herself, and Rainbow was half thankful, half disappointed that she didn't suggest they wash each other's bodies next. A mare could dream, right?

Well, she could definitely dream. Last night had conclusively shown her that much.

Luna laid as flat as she could in the bath, washing the various lotions off of her coat and using magic to shampoo and dry her own tail. Again, Rainbow was sad that she didn't get a chance to do that either. For Rainbow, however, it was a little more difficult to wash her tail, and Luna seemed to notice, using her magic to hold it in place. Rainbow was initially thankful, twisting her body and rubbing the shampoo in, but it didn't take her long to realise that with the position Luna had frozen her tail in, her everything was exposed once again.

That said, Luna didn't seem to be staring. On the contrary, she was looking off to the side, protecting Rainbow's modesty in a sense. Rainbow Dash wasn't sure if she preferred that or felt slighted by it. Not to mention that with the twisting she had to do to reach her tail fully, her cheeks were being spread on their own, but luckily, she was so wet all over that it was probably impossible to tell whether or not she was actually aroused.

Whenever Rainbow went to turn her head back, she was sure Luna took a peek. It was almost like this was becoming a game to her, and Rainbow wasn't the type to lose easily.

She was in the process of devising a devious plan when Luna pulled the plug out, allowing the water to begin draining. "There, we'll begin drying now. We haven't much time until the council meeting, and I wish to run you through the basics of what I expect. I can't have you showing me up too much in there."

Luna was getting good at pushing Rainbow's buttons, but rather than annoy her, it made her grin. The two of them stepped out of the bath, and instantly Rainbow realised that most of her bruises looked as if they were healed, the worse ones having faded significantly and the smaller ones simply having vanished. "Heh, that's some powerful stuff you put in there..."

"Only the best for my faithful servant," Luna chuckled, reaching over to grab a few towels and looking at Rainbow pointedly. "Are you going to fight me on it this time?"

"No, princess," Rainbow instantly responded, though her mind was elsewhere. Hadn't Luna called her 'servant' in her dreams, too? It was almost as if her fantasies were beginning to come to life before her. Truthfully, she hadn't even realised what Luna was suggesting until she motioned Rainbow get on her back again, like the night previous.

It still tickled tremendously, but it went faster this time. Rainbow was obedient, turning and moving only when Luna instructed, and compared to last night, it was a breeze to dry her off. It was only when they were nearly done that Rainbow realised just how well behaved she'd been. She almost felt proud of it.

She stood when Luna was finished, helping to dry her off in turn, getting the chance to feel the subtle curves of her body and the muscle that her sleek frame contained, even if it was only through a towel. That said, Rainbow might have 'accidentally' dropped the towel once just to get a quick second of rubbing at Luna's flanks, something that earned her a barely restrained gasp. Nice to know that even the immortal, near-invincible princess had her sensitive spots.

In little time, Rainbow had finished drying off Luna's coat, and the pair of them began to rub through their own manes and tails. Rainbow took wing, finding it easier to reach certain parts of her body that way, and soon enough, they were completely finished. Luna's mane looked a little frizzy when she'd just ran a towel through it, and didn't flow like it usually did. There was something inordinately adorable about that fact, Rainbow wondered how many other ponies had seen it before.

"I need to go and fetch your attire. Be a good filly and wait here." Before Rainbow had a chance to respond, Luna had teleported out of the room.
