Some Things Never Change...

-At the Boutique-

Rarity tried warm milk, medicine, and all sorts of homemade remedies to help her sleep. But nothing seemed to work. The truth is, she didn't even know if she wanted to go to sleep. She never had any good dreams anymore. They were usually nightmares about her past lover, Torin. The way his brown coat shimmered in the midinight light. The way his reddish-brown mane flowed in the wind. And then all she saw after that was blood and him blaming her for his death. She knew he would never blame her but her nightmares had said otherwise. She had tried pleasuring herself a couple of times, to see if that slowed the nightmares down, but it never worked. So she just sat there, confused about whether or not she should try to get some sleep... if she even could. She had not slept last night and the exhaustion had followed her all day, making her everyday tasks nearly impossible to finish.

Figuring sleep was a definite no, Rarity got up and groggily walked towards the window. She looked out and seen that there was a full moon out tonight. The stars sparkled down at her, causing her to slightly smile. There was always something about the night sky that seemed to calm her down whenever she felt this way. She felt like she belonged when she looked up into that black, abyssal beauty. She felt a tear gathering at the corner of her eyes and wiped at her eyes again. Why did he haunt her memories so? What had she ever done to deserve such a soul wrenching pain in her heart?

"Why Torin... why..." Rarity whimpered feebily at the night, hoping a fool's hope that her answer lay there. She left the windowsill defeated. Rarity started walking towards her bed, but stopped halfway there. She just broke down crying as she released all of her pent up despair over the past seven years. What was the point anymore? The boutique is in economically declining disaster. Her life's work was at risk and there was nothing she could do. Of course she had tried to solicite herself and those four fillies. But she abandoned that idea when her better judgement kicked in. They had the rest of their lives to make something of themselves and she would only be dragging them down with her. Sweetie and the other three deserved so much more than that. Rarity was so deep in her despair that she did not hear the door slowly creak open. The light from a candle brought her out of her self pity and regret-filled crys. Rarity looked up to find Sweetie Belle looking down at her with sadness and concern in her eyes.

"Rarity... what's wrong?" Sweetie asked, who got down next to Rarity and gave her a her a hug. She smiled at this and only cried more. She must have woken Sweetie up with all the noise she was making. Sweetie was a very light sleeper so it really wasn't a suprise. She couldn't bring herself to tell her innocent sister why she was such a wreck. She couldn't stop crying no matter how hard she tried so she just cried. Sweetie and Rarity sat there together for what seemed like hours, which was only a mere five minutes.

Rarity decided that she had to explain herself, "Sweetie... it's hard to explain." Sweetie perked her ears up when Rarity spoke and then told her to go on, which Rarity continued, "A long time ago, I had a special somepony that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. He was kind and knew when I needed a shoulder to cry on. His name was Torin. You don't know him but he had a brown coat and a reddish-brown mane that I found absolutely amazing. I know you're too young to understand this but... I felt a special connection with him. I always felt safe with him. But one day..." Rarity broke down cying in the middle of her story and Sweetie tried her best to calm Rarity down.

"Go on... I'll listen" Sweetie assured Rarity. Rarity looked up to her sister and smiled again. She had grown up so fast and Rariy couldn't help but feel proud of her.

"Back to the reason I'm crying. Well, Torin and I were walking to the movie theatre and we didn't see that a runaway carriage was coming our way. Torin pushed me to the side, away from any danger, and took a pipe from the carriage to the chest. He passed away in my arms." Rarity noticed Sweetie's look of shock and a tear in her eyes. Rarity knew she shouldn't have told her, but she just couldn't help herself. Who else but Sweetie? She needed to know that not all things were sunshine and butterflies. Even in such a peaceful kingdom like Equestria there were bad things. Such as Torin's sudden death.

"Rarity... I don't know what to say." Sweetie said quietly. Rarity put a hoof up to Sweetie's lips to quiet her and they just lay there. Eventually they started talking about their day and recent events. They wanted to steer clear of the subject of Rarity's lost lover.

"Rarity... you know how Babs and Applebloom... do things together?" Sweetie asked rather hesitantly. Rarity looked up again and saw an uncomfortable espression on Sweetie's face. What was she getting at? Rarity thought for a moment and then a grin spread across her face.

"Yes?" Rarity asked, trying to sound like she didn't already know what Sweetie was talking about.

"Well... maybe if WE did things... it could help you go to sleep" Sweetie said slowly and hesitantly. Rarity's grin increased from ear to ear.

"What harm could it do?" Rarity asked herself out loud and dove in for a gentle kiss. Sweetie's eyes widened when their lips made contact. Rarity slowly moved her hoof down the length of Sweetie's flank, getting a soft moan in return. Rarity slipped that hoof under Sweetie's hind leg and made contact with her small vaginal lips. Sweetie's eyes widened even further and fell backwards, taking Rarity with her. Sweetie giggled but was interupted by another kiss from Rarity. Rarity slipped her hoof in again, prodding Sweetie for an opening. Rarity found it and slipped her hoof in slowly. Sweetie broke the kiss and cried out in the night. Rarity could feel the way Sweetie's stomach contracted and shook as Rarity's hoof dove in and out. She was tight but Rarity managed to get her entire hoof in. Sweetie abandoned her moaning and started to scream.

"R-r-r-r-rarity! I-I... AHHHHH!" Sweetie yelled out as Rarity mercilessly slid in as much of her hoof as she could. Spike really was not that big in size and neither was the vibrator. So she was not used to something the size of Rarity's hoof ramming up inside of her. Rarity kissed Sweetie, making sure she was giving her sister the treatment she deserved. She pulled her hoof out and started to rub instead. Sweetie was trembling, writhing, and convulsing underneath Rarity. She moved her lips to Sweetie's neck and slowly down to her shoulders. By then Rarity had stopped fiddling around with Sweetie's folds and was devoting her attention to kissing ever so lower. With each a kiss a shudder erupted from within Sweetie. Rarity never broke eye contact with her while Sweetie looked at her in confusion.

"Rarity... what ar-" Sweetie began but was cut off when rarity reached her vaginal lips. Sweetie moaned as Rarity extended a tounge as far as she could into Sweetie. The small filly squealed, giggled, and moaned as Rarity licked her. By then, her muzzle was covered in Sweetie's juices. Rarity slowly dragged her tongue up the length of Sweetie's quivering lips and then pulled away, leaving the small filly speechless and stunned.

"Rarity, why did y-you stop?" Sweetie asked while still recovering from Rarity's assault upon her innocence. Rarity only smiled and moved Sweetie up to where she needed her. Rarity moved a hind leg over Sweetie's and then slipped the other one underneath of her. A look of realization came unto the small filly's face and then blushed and giggled. Rarity got as comfortable as this position would allow and then rubbed her marehood onto Sweetie's fillyhood casuing both to moan in unison. This was, by far, the strangest coupling in a scissors position that Rarity had ever been in before. Squelching noises began to surface as Rarity slammed hersefl, mercilessly, onto Sweetie. The wooden floor was getting doused in their jucies but neither of them could care less. Sweetie was now moving her hips in a rhythmic pattern, which was probably born out of instict.

R-rarity....! I-I think I'm... AHHH..!! AHHHH!!! COMING!!" Sweetie screamed as she shot out everything she had. There not many places it could all go so some of it had slightly went up into Rarity. A lot of it had ricocheted off of Rarity's sopping wet nether lips, had sprayed out into air a couple feet, and sprinkled them both in it. Rarity could feel herself nearing her breaking point as well. She slammed into Sweetie causing her to scream even louder as she continued her massive orgasm. It eventually subsided into whimpers and moans as the orgasm died down. Rarity soon felt herself release as well. She moaned and cried out softly as she had her orgasm. She was not a squirter like Sweetie but it was amazing enough. The two sisters lay there, panting as the moon's shimmer of light put them in the spotlight.

"Rarity... can I sleep with you tonight?" Sweetie asked, who had now sat up and was giving Rarity the puppy dog eyes. The older sister smiled at this and gestured her into the bed. They both cuddled up into each other's embrace and after about ten minutes, Rarity could hear the soft snores from Sweetie. Rarity soon felt herself slip into the abyss of slumber and for the first time in a long time... she had slept peacefully and without nightmares. She felt happy.
