White Zinfandel

It was a late night in the halls of the Canterlot Palace. Normally, one would expect the sounds of a few mares trotting down the halls from one of Blueblood's nights with the harem. But for the past month, peace and quiet ruled these halls, or at least it would have considering that two ponies walked side by side in the shadowed halls of the royal palace. Luna and Azure manage to make their arrival from the party in Ponyville. The two were, needless to say, enthusiastic.

"What fun that was!"

"You're tellin' me! Who'd thought that a little backwater town like Ponyville could be so turned up? That party was oh so nice!"

Luna giggled as she heard the guard's own interpretation of her statement. "I agree... Perhaps I was wrong to doubt you when you said that ponies loved my night and loved the mare behind it."

"Well, I could see why." The guardspony said quietly. "You've been cooped up in the castle since you came back and not once have you set hoof outside of palace grounds.

Luna rolled her eyes and sighed lazily. "Blame my elder sister. She is a little-"

"Overprotective?" He guessed.

"One could say that, but I would prefer the term cautious."

Azure shrugged his shoulders as he dismissed the alternative term Luna chose. "They're the same. Besides, what else could happen?"

As Azure finished is question, a loud voice rang throughout the halls of the darkened palace. "LUNESTE SELENE VALKYRIE!!!"

"Did you need to ask?" She deadpanned as her older sister came from hiding within the shadows of a nearby pillar. Celestia ran to her younger sibling with worry wrought in her appearance.

"Luna! Where have you been!?"

"I was away in-"

Celestia interrupted Luna's explanation, giving her a tight hug. "You know that you were to come back to the palace after your visit. Why are you home so late!?"

"I mingled with the citizens in the town. I've played with foals in the early night and as the time grew late, we stayed up all night and partied with many ponies. Then after we made our farewells, we departed for the palace. I've never had so much fun."

The larger princess gasped at her words. She knew that Luna was not as comfortable in the public eye as she was. And considering a thousand years of being in solitary confinement on a satellite body orbiting around the planet, being around a large group of ponies can be frightening. Celestia turned her attention to the guard that escorted her for much of the way. "Is this true?"

"Is it? Just look at that face, it's clear that she didn't enjoyed herself." Azure said sarcastically.

The elder princess smiled warmly at the guards humoring response. It was indeed obvious that they enjoyed themselves for the evening. Celestia gave a yawn as her stress-wracked body started to tell her that it was time for rest. "Very well then. It is obvious that I can see how you are able to overcome your greatest obstacle yet. I suppose that a privilege of leave is in order."

Luna grinned widely, showing all her teeth as she squeed and ran to her sister, giving her a tight hug of appreciation. For the first time since her return, Celestia finally saw that she was able to take care of herself and gave her full-rights to leave the palace when she chose to. Luna nuzzled her older sister. "Thank you, dear sister!"

"Your most welcome. And thank you Azure." Celestia said, smiling at the guard.

"Don't mention it." Azure said.

"Great. Now you have to fill out your report." Called a voice from behind another pillar. As the shadow came to light, it was revealed to be none other than Shining Armor, accompanying the princess for her watch.

"B...but... now?" Asked the guard, dreading that he might have to fill a report on his evening with the princess at this very moment.

Shining pondered the possibility of punishing his friend for his tardiness, wearing a snarky grin. "Hmmm.... nah. It can wait until the morning."

"Well then gentlecolts, I do believe that the time for rest has come. Luna, let us be off." Said the elder sister as she and Luna made their way to their respective quarters.

"Goodnight, good sirs." The younger sibling wished to the two guards before walking off.

Shining bowed before them. "Goodnight, princesses!"

"Nighty night!" Said Azure, following suit.

The two stallions rose from their position and made their way in the opposite direction. There was nothing to concern themselves over the leave of the two princess, being that their room was just the equivalent of three doors down the hall. So they walked side by side and conversed as they made their way to the barracks. "So, how's Twily doing?"

The blue stallion shook his head rapidly as he thought about Shining's younger sister. "Augh! No! Never again!"

Shining laughed at his friend's displeasure. "What happened?"

"Luna disclosed that I was actually a unicorn and your little sister just went to town."

"Formulas in arcane science and alterations of the reality's distortion when one can teleport any given mass from one location to another?" Shining asked, knowing from experience that her talks on the matter can prove to be taxing on the mind.

"SHUT UP! You sound just like her. Only she wouldn't stop talking!"

Shining summoned a bottle and tossed it to the other unicorn. "Ibuprofen?"

"Way to be prepared."

"When Twily starts going off about her love for science and magic, it helps to have some of these on hoof."

Azure chuckled a little as he opened the small vial of the drug. "That bad, huh?"

"You got off easy. Just wait until the holidays. She's really a chatterbox then about how much she's learned."

Two months later...

It was a cold day in the city of Canterlot. Snow covered much of ground and everything in the town was blanketed in a thin sheet of frost. Winter had came in full-force as the festive lights shone brightly in the night sky. Ponies happily trotted along, dressed in scarves, hats, coats and even boots as they shared gifts with one another. Foals played happily in the snow, lobbing snowballs at each other and building snow figures. Laughter as abundant in the night streets as the ponies all celebrated the Holiday of Hearth's Warming Eve. And making their way down the street were six ponies and their dragon, who helped finish one of the nights premier events, the History of Hearth's Warming Day.

"That. Play. Was. Awesome!" Shouted Rainbow Dash excitedly as she flew through the air.

Rarity walked with her nose in the air, proud of the performance they put on. "I'd say. To think that our amateurish skills in the art of thespian conveyance would actually translate into a standing ovation... or perhaps the audience was being generous?"

Pinkie jumped into the fashionista's face, causing Rarity to nearly fall back in response. "NO WAY! WE TOTALLY ROCKED THAT HOUSE! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE DO THE PLAY FOR NEXT YEAR!"

"If we do the play next year. But I have to admit that it was really nice to share the stage with all of you. If you girls weren't there, I would have ran off." Fluttershy said as she smiled.

"Awww shucks! Ain't nothin', Fluttershy. Ah was a bit on the nervous side mahself." Applejack answered back as she looked over to the side, feeling bashful that she would feel nervous in front of a group of ponies.

Twilight praised her friends for their hard work with an excited expression. "I'm pretty sure that the audience appreciated the bravery. And I'm more than certain that they appreciated the performance as well. Great work girls."

"Yeah. You totally sold your performance Rarity!" Spike added, causing the other mares to feel a little jealous. Rainbow Dash was the first to speak.

"Um... What about us?"

"Meh, you guys were okay." Spike said as he waived a claw and batted down their performances, causing all six of the mares to become offended.

"SPIKE!"

Spike chuckled nervously and placed a claw on the back of his head. "I was just kidding! You all did great."

The six mares laughed in response to his joke. Twilight was the first to recover from her laughter as she eyed a clock on the street corner, reading that it was 9:34. "Oh Spike. Well, come along. We've got someplace else to go."

"We do?" Pinkie interjected as she pranced over to the purple mare.

"No, not you girls, Pinkie. Me and Spike are headed home."

Rainbow quirked an eyebrow as she remained suspended in the air. "But aren't we all headed home?"

Applejack reminded her friends that she did live in Canterlot prior to Ponyville. "Ah think what she meant was that those two have kin here in the city. They'll be spendin' the holiday with them, jus' like we will be come tomorrow."

Pinkie almost deflated in hearing the news of Twilight's early dismissal. "Aww. But I wanted to spend some time with everypony before we all set out."

"True enough Pinkie, but why spend the extra bits on visitation when they could head home now since they're in town?" Rarity argued, making a solid point.

"I'll spend a few more bits to spend some time with you, Rarity." Spike said, wanting to have some time with the beautiful, snow-white unicorn, causing her to blush.

"Oh, well that's so sweet of you Spike, but I'm afraid that your home is with Twilight. We'll spend some time together come the end of the holidays."

"I guess." Spike said in a defeated tone.

"Thanks for understanding, Spikey-poo." Rarity said as she nuzzled the young dragon, causing his frown to grow into a smile.

"Heh heh, sure thing."

"You girls did absolutely magnificent!" A voice cheered to the six mares. Wondering who it was, they all turned to the source of the voice to find that it was none other than a mare who stood with her two sons. Her name was Elaina Mash, who also came from Ponyville to see the play as well as paying a visit to her husband.

"Why hello, Mrs. Mash. How are you doing this evening?" Rarity asked, being the first to speak.

"I was in town to spend time with the husband. Though I'm pretty sure you've met up with Button." The beige mare said as she pointed to her youngest son.

"Uh-huh." He hummed out as he tuned out the world and continued playing with his electronic toy, bleeps and blips sounding as he grunted and struggled to get the high score.

"Button." She repeated herself, trying to get her son's attention.

"In a sec, mom." He mumbled as he tried to focus on the boss he was fighting.

"BUTTON!"

Her shout caused him to juggle the small device, landing him with a game-over screen. "Gah! Hello."

"You've been on your Joy-Boy for long enough. Let this be my last time telling you to be more attentive."

Button's ears fell back as he looked at the game-over screen on his joy-boy. A six-hour run through with no saves, wasted in the blink of an eye. "Sorry mom."

"Yeah, step it up, bro. Now fork it over, it's my turn." The older brother said as he picked it up off of the ground. Button tried his best to grab the device from his big brother, swinging at the air as he kept it out of reach.

"No way Trigger! I called dibs."

The device soon found itself in the company of a well-built, light gray earth-pony stallion with a charcoal mane. "Now I call dibs."

"Awww. But dad-" Trigger tried to argue, but was instantly shut down by his dad.

"No buts. Hello to all of you, ladies."

Elaina smiled as she hugged her husband and introduced him to the six element bearers. "Ladies, this is my husband, Longshot. Longshot, this is Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and-"

"Twily! Shine's baby sister. How's it been?" He finished, surprised that Twilight was in town.

"Fine. But please don't call me that. I only gave my older brother permission to call me that name."

"Sorry. I didn't know that the name was so special. I just thought it was a nickname."

The purple unicorn blushed as she looked back to all of her friends, embarrassed that they heard the nickname her brother gave her. "Twilight will do for now. In speaking of names, how's my older brother doing?"

"He's doing just fine. Shining's got the holiday off this season so he's gonna be able to spend some time with the family."

Stars shined brightly in Twilight's eyes as soon as she heard the news of her older brother being home for the first time in a long time. "My brother's off? For how long!?"

"I'm pretty sure you've got this evening, tomorrow and the day after if nothing is set in stone."

"That's fantastic! I can't wait to share with him about everything I've learned in Ponyville."

"I'm pretty sure he can't wait either. Hey Spike!" He interjected, seeing the young drake for the first time in months.

"How's it hanging?" Spike answered back.

"Still the champ."

"Nice. So are the guys doing anything this evening?"

Twilight's magic pulled at one of the dragon's ears, tugging him along side her. "No Spike. We will be going home to visit mom, dad and Shining."

Longshot laughed at Spike's expense as he sank his head, realizing that his escape attempt proved futile. "Well you tried."

"And don't forget that we have family time to spend as well." Elaina chimed as she nudged her husband.

"Oh I'm pretty sure you would love to spend some 'quality time' with me." He joked, causing her to laugh and blush lightly.

"Stop it. The foals are here."

"How do you think they got here?" He whispered in a low voice.

"Ewww! Dad!" Trigger said disgustingly as he realized what his parents were going on about.

"Mom, where do foals come from?" Button asked, completely clueless as to what was being discussed.

"Well, would you look at the time! I suppose it's that time we should be off." She stated, embarrassed that her son would ask such a private question in a public setting.

"In a rush to get there, aren't you?" Longshot said coyly, gaining a menacing glare from his wife.

"Push me and I'll punish you for it."

Longshot smiled deviously as an idea came to his mind. "Spanking, sounds fun."

Deciding that she had enough of her husband's showing out, she pushed him along as she bid the six mares and the dragon farewell. Her sons followed behind her closely. "Later girls. Mommy needs to take care of some things."

"Come on, Spike. We should be going too." Twilight said as she and her assistant took their leave to the Inner-District. The remaining party of five waived goodbye as the distance between them grew further apart.

"See you guys later!" Rainbow shouted.

"I miss them already." Pinkie said, mourning their departure.

"They jus left, Pinkie." Applejack tried to emphasize to her.

Fluttershy's cheeks grew into a light red tint as she thought about the exchange of Elaina and her husband. "Spanking? Oh dear."

Meanwhile, Rarity's mind was more focused on the name that was recently tossed around. She pondered the possibilities as she walked. "Shining... There's something about that name that seems vaguely familiar. Oh well, there are plenty of Shining's in the world. Shining Star, Shining Silver, Shining Sea, Shining Moon, Shining Light..."

There was much to cheer about in the home of the Sparkle family. The fireplace lit the home and gave warmth to the stallion who sat in the chair beside it. Velvet was busy in the kitchen, cooking up meals and deserts for the night that both her and her husband as they shared their evening with their son, Shining Armor. It has been quite some time since he was home for this particular holiday, especially since he was often assigned to the palace. Twilight, on the other hoof, was even more scarce in her appearances. The only appearances she could make was in the form of a photo or a letter. So as it was, the two parents took much excitement when they heard that their son was coming home.

"So dear, I take it that you will be spending the time with us for the holiday, but why is Cadance unable to come by?" Velvet asked as she continued to work alongside her son in the kitchen.

"She's going on a trip to the Griffon Kingdom. Olive branch stuff." He answered as he continued to chop away at some carrots, helping his mother prepare a stew.

Velvet was busy scrubbing potatoes, peeling them and cutting them into pieces via magical assembly line. "A peace offering? But if that's the case, then-"

"I asked her the same thing. Her answer to me was that she was tired of taking me away from home each holiday."

"But she could still come over for a visit? I wouldn't mind the company." Velvet asked worriedly.

"I know. But matters of diplomacy never takes a day off. Or at least that what she tells me."

"In speaking of days off, how many will you be receiving?" Asked Orion, who entered the kitchen to fix himself a sandwich, earning a stern glare from his wife.

"I'd say until she manages to get back to the palace." Shining answered as Velvet slapped the hoof of her husband, who was reaching into the fridge for a quick snack.

"I see." Said a frustrated Orion, rubbing his hoof from the impact as he brought up some interesting news. "You know, I heard that Twilight was coming to town."

"I know that her first place of visit would be the castle." Shining answered back, placing the chopped carrots into a bowl, earning a smile from his mother.

"To think that we've only seen glimpses of her as she grew through the years. It's almost saddening to see that she doesn't visit us that often." Velvet seemed to sulk in the reminder of their daughter not being able to see them. She took in a breath of air and exhaled in a long, melancholy sigh. "But at least she still loves us enough to write."

"Don't say it like that." Said Shining, who tried to comfort his mother. "I'm pretty sure that Twily loves you enough to visit you two. It's just hard to do so when you've got the fate of Equestria on your back."

"Funny that you should say that. The only thing that feels heavy is the dragon on my back." Chimed out the unexpected visitor, announcing her arrival.

"Hey!" Sounded out an offended young dragon, who was receiving the implication that he was fat.

"Sorry, Spike."

Velvet nearly ran over her husband and past her son as she made her way to her daughter. "Violet, my dearest child!"

"Hey!" Shining shouted, feeling somewhat brushed aside.

"Oh hush up, Shining. We usually see you pay a visit when you get a chance, but with Violet, she's constantly running across the place just to keep things in order." The mature mare said as she took in the features of her grown-up daughter.

"I'm fine, mom." Twilight answered, trying to keep her from being concerned over her duties as an element bearer.

Velvet took in the sight of her daughter. What once was a little filly with aspirations to learn magic and kept her head in the books had blossomed into a full-grown, richly-shapened mare who stood two inches taller than her, was almost as skilled as her in magic and was no doubt as stuck-in-the-books as she ever was. "Just look how you've grown! I never thought you would take after me so much. How were your lessons?"

"And here we go." Shining said as he summoned an orange vial of ibuprofen for the inevitable headache he was going to receive.

Twilight rolled her eyes as she motioned to Spike to help her mother cook. "You know I've moved to Ponyville to carry out my lessons, right?"

"Of course. I could only wish that you all lived here so you could say hello more often." Said Velvet, still saddened that her daughter had blossomed so richly outside of her vision.

"Sorry for my lack of communication. It's just that with the craziness of moving to a new place and knowing five friends who constantly get into all kinds of trouble can be taxing on my schedule."

"Twilight, if you can manage to send a letter at least once a month, then that will make us happy." Said Orion as he tried to sneak into the fridge a second time, to which Velvet swatted away with a wooden spoon.

"I tried to do one once a week, but I guess I tend to get caught up in all of the commotion."

"But enough of that, dear. Tell us, what all did you learn from your time away? Oh I could never be so proud of you! The moment you graduate from your studies, I'm going to be dancing on tables screaming out 'that's my daughter'." Velvet sang out as she started to shake her plot away from her children, who groaned with embarrassment.

"Mom... please don't." Shining said, covering his eyes with with a foreleg.

"What? I can tell you that Velvet is a very skilled dancer. And I bet that Violet would be more than willing to join her." Said Orion as he made a third attempt for the fridge, which was thwarted by the sight of a rolling pin waived in front of his face. With a nervous and toothy smile, he retreated from the area.

"Have you even seen Twily dance? It's awkward." Said Shining, breaking into a laugh.

"SHINY!" Twilight screamed, feeling offended that he would judge her dancing skills.

"I'm just telling it like it is."

"Oh, and you're one to talk. So what is that 'raise the hoof' nonsense!?"

"Unlike you, I actually practice my dance moves.

"Enough about dancing." Velvet interrupted the argument between Twilight and Shining. "Oh I'm so exited. Both my foals are here back at home, together for the first time in eight years. What a gift to receive on Hearth's Warming Eve. I'm going to make us a big banquet in celebration of this wondrous occasion."

As the two siblings turned to each other, Twilight gave her older brother a devious smirk. "So what's up, snugaboo bear?"

Shining could feel the hoof impact the center of his face as he heard the familiar sentiment that caused him so much embarrassment over the years. It was the nickname his mother gave to him and Twilight refused to let it die. She smiled in seeing her older brother writhe in agony over the name, fulfilling her revenge on him saying her dancing was terrible.

"Oh gawd. Twily, never... call me that. Ever again."

"So... Twily's home."

Shining Armor stared at the mirror as he magically folded up his winter wear and placed it on the closet shelf.

"I guess I never thought that her lessons from this year would be so heavily based on social interaction. It's a relaxing change from the heavily mathematical-and-scientific-laced explanation of the applications of magic and the breaking down of the Caster's Sphere of Influence."

His thought wandered to the sound of carolers out in the streets below singing songs of celebration of the holiday. It wasn't unusual to hear a song or two resonate throughout the house when his mother opened the door and allowed the traveling group to perform at the doorstep.

"I guess I didn't need to summon these after all."

He took the vial of pills and started to make his way to the bathroom, to replace them in the medicine cabinet behind the facial mirror.

"Cadance would be so proud to see that Twilight's gone from socially-isolated to quirky and outgoing."

Twilight's habit of staying to herself was always an ongoing concern in both Cadance's and Shining's mind. They wanted to see her do well, but they also wanted her to live her life rather than focus on studying all the time. To hear that she has a group of friends that really makes her comfortable warmed his heart.

"She's gonna be fine. I don't need to worry about anything that happens to her. She's capable of defending herself and she's more capable of holding her own in a discussion. I believe she's finally growing out of her shell. Only thing she needs to do is find a special somepony and we can call it a done thing."

He opens the door to the bathroom and started to walk in, but soon found that his arrival was ill-timed. He caught a glimpse of his younger sister standing in the shower, not cleansing herself but pleasuring herself. Her forelegs anchored on the wall as her supple purple cheeks of her plot bounced up and down on a blue toy. Her tail remained lifted over her body, allowing no censorship of what she was doing to herself. She stopped for a moment and looked back to her toy, only to see her older brother standing behind her.

"AAAH!"

"SORRY!" He screamed as he shut the door in rapid succession of his entry. He turned around and tried to shake the image of his little sister impaling herself with the toy.

"Shining." She muttered past the door.

"I guess her special somepony is a blue toy. Nothing to see here." He said nervously while walking towards his room. But before he could make a third step, the bathroom door swung open and Twilight called out to him, sticking her soaked head out of the door.

"Shining Armor!"

"Sorry Twi. Gotta go-"

"NO!" She forced out in staccato, firing up her magic to drag her older brother into the bathroom and locking the door behind them.

"I didn't mean to walk in. I just came to put something back. I swear."

"What did you see?"

"I didn't see anything. I didn't hear anything. Agreed? Agreed."

"LIES!" She shouted, slamming her hoof against the floor.

"Bu-"

Shining was interrupted with a wet hoof placed against his muzzle. Twilight inches closer to her brother as she slowly takes anxious breaths. "What... did you see?"

Shining struggled to speak as his younger sister stood before him. His eyes then trailed back to the blue phallic device on the floor. "Well I didn't see a toy lying around, if that's what you're asking."

Twilight blushed as she levitated the sex toy in front of her brother. "Oh. This? It's from my personal collection. Would you care to see it in action?"

"Nope. I'm outta here." Shining pushed against his younger sister, only for her to press him against the ground with all of her strength. Caught off guard by the force she exerted, he fell to the wall behind him and she pinned him in place as she shouted out loud.

"STAY!"

"Okay. You're a lot stronger than I remember."

Twilight only giggled at her brother's reaction as she lifted the toy to her brother's horn. "Running around the town doing errands and fighting all kinds of monsters on your way to visit a potion-brewing zebra can be very taxing if you're not in shape. But that aside, this is my special little friend I would like to call Mister Shiny."

The older brother's eyes grew as he remembered that name coming from his sister's mouth. It was spoken by only one filly he knew, and his heart started to beat even faster as his sister waived the toy in his face. "Mister Shiny? You mean like-"

"But what he does to me pales in comparison to what you do to me." Twilight said as she turned on the toy, edging against her brother's horn to stimulate him. Even worse, he felt himself growing out of his sheath as a response to her tease.

"Twilight, I don't think that this is a good thing to do."

"Why not? We've already done it once before, and nothing bad came from it." She said as she drew her head closer to his and pressed her tongue at the base of his horn, lapping at it like an animal to it's water.

"First: I was tied to a bed. Second: You were in heat. Third: I had a fracture in my ribs from where you kept pounding on my chest. Fourth: You were in heat. Fifth: You cast a series of contraception spells in order to prevent any unwanted circumstances. And sixth: You were in heat."

Removing herself for a brief second, she argued her brother's points. "I believe that was four reasons."

"And I can name another twelve reasons."

Twilight removed her vibrating toy and continued to use her tongue as a rag to wax the horn of her older brother. "Go."

As her tongue flicked against the tip of his spire, Shining felt a jolt of energy that caused him to stutter. "BadBadBadBadBadBadBadBadBadBadBadBad."

"That's just you repeating a single word twelve times. And yes, it's bad. That's what makes it so kinky." She said in a lustful tone, continuing to suck against her brother's horn. Her head bobbed up and down causing him to gasp and moan at her effort. There was no doubt in his mind that he was being turned on by this level of attention, but he did remember that this was his sister who was driving him crazy.

"I need to leave."

Her lips made a wet pop as his horn became free from the demonic grip of her tongue and her lip's combined attack. "Nnnnf. I can already feel your hot cock throbbing deep inside my tight little pussy."

"WHOA THERE!" He shouted as he felt his own excitement cause his stallionhood to thump against his underbelly. Twilight smiled as she inched the toy around her wet slit, teasing herself as the electric impulse to skewer herself on the standing tower of meat traveled throughout her body.

"There is another lesson that I've learned over the time I spent in Ponyville. It's called the magic of sexual frustration. You see, it's hard enough to fit masturbation on an already established schedule. So I kinda have to make time for it. But as the first month went by, I realized that I couldn't just clop myself silly when there's a baby dragon on the other side of the room, whose snoring is a complete turn-off. I can't do it when Spike is away because I'm usually busy helping out with somepony else. And when I think I can get a five minute session in the tub, I usually don't get off in enough time."

"And that translates to me how?" He asked.

"You were the very thing that I would use to cross over." She sank the blue toy into her needy folds and tightened her grip on her brother as the surge of energy from the intrusion caused her body to tense up.

"Oh no."

She pulls out the toy begrudgingly and brings it between them. "So as you see, I'm already soaked. Just look at my little friend, he's been inside of me for only three seconds and he's already smothered in my pussy juice."

Hearing his sister talk so dirty brought him pleasure, but it also brought him great shame. "Please stop talking like that."

Twilight gave him a smirk with a half-lidded stare. "I find that the taste of oral sex to be unusual and it is to be an acquired taste. But I'm sure you're more than familiar with it."

"Twilight, I don't th-mmmph!" His words were cut short as the vibrator covered in her secretions was fixed between his lips. His tongue could taste everything that was, is, and always will be his little sister.

"Do I taste good, big brother? Is my pussy to your liking?" She asked as she gyrated her lips against his shaft, smothering his length with the combination of her marehood, tail and her plentiful juices.

"Mmmmph!"

"I thought that's what you would say. So instead of a sampler," She removed the toy from his mouth and threw it to the side, all while simultaneously turning around and presenting her swollen marehood to her brother. "Let's try the main course."

"Twilight-"

Her lower lips come into contact with his, causing his muffled voice to send vibrations to travel throughout her body. She let loose a high pitched moan as she started to feel herself rise to the clouds. She looks down to the enormous log of flesh and kisses it on the tip. "I haven't seen you in a while. Has Shining been good to you?"

"This is embarrassing." He muffled out, barely getting his words through.

Twilight encircled his erection with her magic and giggled as the ring jerked him up and down. "Just sit back and let me work, big brother. Your little sister's been really studious in the art of fellatio."

"Twilight-"

"The quicker you lick, the quicker I leave you alone." She scolded him for not servicing her as she was to him.

The pungent scent of her nethers filled his nostrils, causing him to almost become inebriated with the scent alone. And it was of no help to him as her magic continued to tug and jerk at his sex. With a sigh, he accepted what was given to him. "Just... this... once."

"Good boy." The purple mare whispered as she wrapped her lips around her brother for the first time in many years. The first time she did it, she was lacking in experience, even biting him some of the time. Her movements were hesitant and awkward at first. But now her maturity settled in. Her tongue swirled around him with the intensity of a whirlpool, drawing him in with each time she descended. After a moment, her mane fell in the way of her sight and her brother. Igniting her horn, she jerked him once more as she retreated to fix her mane.

"You're absolutely amazing, Shining. How do you even manage to hide something like this?" She asked, worshipping his length with kisses and soft blows of air.

"Sto-aahhh... Twi." Shining could no longer resist, he was already pushing it with just her mouth hugging him with it's wet warm embrace, but to fell her applying her magic to jerk him and to gently cradle his sack was too much for him to bear. She pulled off of him, greedily staring him in the eyes.

"I bet it must feel pretty nice."

Looking at his sisters eyes was the one thing that caused him a mix of emotions. The intimate notion of her looking at him with those large orbs of purple made him scream for her. But the moral standing of the current situation burdened him with a heavy discomfort. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as he placed a hoof to the back of his sister's head. "Oh, oh yes-NO."

He started to fight against her, but found that his pleasure far outweighed his willpower to escape. Her ministrations drove him too far down into sin for him to be redeemed. Twilight teased her older sibling. "You're getting too tense, B.B.B.F.F. You gotta learn how to let go."

"I'll be letting go if you don't stop." He rebutted, signaling his inevitable release if she were to continue.

"Ohhh. Okay."

Without hesitation, the purple mare stuck out her tongue and took her brother in her maw, swallowing inch after inch of stallion meat. Shining couldn't bare to hold on much longer as his sister's snout landed softly against his body, devouring every last bit of his length and girth. His body seized as his tip flared wide in her throat. "TWILIGHT!"

With a powerful grunt, his hips started to jolt against Twilight. The greedy mare soon realized that she was biting off way more than she could chew as she tried to push herself off of her brother. Finally, they separated with an audible pop as well as the gagging sounds of Twilight coughing for air as her brother's seed splashed against her face and tongue. Breathing heavily, she retracted her tongue to savor the taste of Shining's seed. She took pleasure in the taste of his semen, even going as far as milking his cock for more. "Mmm. I can tell your diet is heavily fruit based."

"Twilight... no." Shining said as he still held on to her.

"Just keep going. You're lucky I let you finish before me." She said as she shook her flank in his face, demanding that he would finish her off as she did to him.

"No tha-mmmph." Just as Shining offered to reject her, she pressed herself against him, this time magically pressing his head into her marehood. He stuck out his tongue to accommodate her and instantly found himself lapping at her clit.

"YES! RIGHT THERE!"

"Mmmphmmm!" He mumbled as his tongue violently abused her slit, causing her painful bliss. She moaned into her foreleg, still trying not to make too much noise than what they already were making. Shining knew that his air would run out if he didn't try his best to please her and lit his horn to gently massage the pink nub of her marehood as his tongue continued to penetrate her depths. Twilight humped her brother's face as he continued to work his tongue in and out of her. Without warning, her climax collided into her like a freight train.

"Big brother!"

He braced himself for what was to come, and for good reason. A torrent of her juices splashed and sprayed all over his face as her hind legs shook along with her quivering pussy. Her walls contracted and released against his tongue as she rode her climax back down to where she stood. Falling limp, she laid on top of her older brother with a dazed smile on her face.

"Wow! Where and when did you learn how to use your tongue like that? Last time, you weren't nearly as skilled as you are now."

"I'm done. Can I leave now?" He asked angrily.

"Yes. We're finished. Ohhh, you have noooo idea how pent-up I've been since moving to Ponyville. This was a great Hearth's Warming gift."

"Never... Again..." Shining spat at her, trying to emphasize that this was a one-time thing.

"I know. But I can at least have my fun before somepony else scoops you away from me." Twilight joked.

"Don't you think that it's a little too late for that?" Shining thought to himself as he remembered that he was already beyond 'scooped up'. "Well-"

Interrupting Shining was the familiar voice of their mother. "Twilight! Shining! Dinner's ready!"

Twilight rose from her brother as she felt a wave of relief wash over her body. Feeling like a brand new mare, she happily trotted out of the bathroom. "Well, I guess some desert in the form of a full-course supper wouldn't be that bad."

Shining stared at his happy little sister as she pranced and leapt out of the room. It was obvious that he didn't exactly share the same sentiment that Twilight had. In fact he was a little mortified over what she had made him do to her to be concerned about what his mother cooked up in the kitchen.

"I think I've lost my appetite."

The hours grew late as the activities in the city grew to a silent whisper. Those who were out drinking were already indoors, sheltered from the cold of winter. Families have taken to their beds as they rested up for the morning. Luna's night shined brightly as the stars became bright beacons that polluted the darkened sky.

Meanwhile, in the Sparkle household, Velvet and Orion took to their beds as well. Spike remained rested on the couch downstairs, appreciative of the spatial upgrade. Shining stayed up thinking about everything that happened that night, especially concerning his younger sister.

It troubled him deeply that his sister was so fixed to him. He loved her deeply, but in terms of being in love with her, he could not identify with what she was longing for. His eyes remained focused to the ceiling above as his vision retraced everything that he saw and everything he did. But his visions were interrupted by a knocking on the door.

*Knock Knock Knock*

Shining tried to play as if he was sleeping, but after a few more knocks, he realized that his visitor was not so easily fooled. Losing the battle of attrition, he rose from his bed to answer the door. The door creaked open to reveal none other than his younger sister.

"Shining, can I come in?"

He didn't want to be rude to her, but he realized that letting her in would be a grave mistake. Keeping the door cracked, he denied her entrance. "What's wrong?"

"I just need to speak to you."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Please, just let me in."

"Why should I? We can just talk here."

"Please stop being so difficult and just let me in."

"Twilight-"

"Please?"

Shining lost yet another battle: the battle of ignoring his sister's cries for help. Giving in, he opened the door wide open to allow her access to his room. She looked at him and pointed to the bed.

"Can we sit down?"

"Sure." He said dryly, expecting that her visit was going to be something familiar to his run-in with her in the bathroom just earlier that evening.

The two sibling sat on Shining's bed, side-by-side with one another. Twilight remained silent for many minutes, only hearing the breathing of her older brother. As they sat, Shining started to get a little frustrated over his sister's desire to talk and her failure to do so when she entered. But he was not disappointed for long.

"I love you."

"I know."

"No. You don't."

"Yeah, I do."

For the first time in what seemed to be forever, Twilight looked directly to her brother. "Look, I know that you think that I'm saying this as a younger sister. But... I'm not."

Shining gulped as he prepared himself the what he was about to hear. "Then what are you saying it as?"

"...Myself. I know that we're... related, but I just can't seem to shake what I've already had for you since foalhood."

Shining looked back to the window, watching the snow fall onto the window pane. "We all make stupid choices in romance when we're kids. It's normal."

"Yeah, well I didn't think it was anywhere near stupid when I wanted you to take me for my first season." Admitted Twilight as she toyed with her hooves.

"So you actually planned that one out, huh?"

"Please forgive me." Twilight said as she hid her head in one of Shining's pillows, to which he responded by taking the pillow away from her.

"Okay. I forgive you, but why me? Why not anypony else?"

Twilight grabbed the hoof of her older brother and dared not to look at him out of fear. "Because you were my first true friend. You were there when I needed you for whatever. And if I was hurt, you would do anything to protect me and see me smile."

"I'm your big brother. That's my job."

"But you didn't have to follow through on it."

Shining remembered the night of the incident eight years past. He noted that his reason for treating Twilight so comfortably was because of his loss and that she was a means of helping him cope with the loss. "Yeah, but sometimes... When you lose something, you end up taking inventory over what you already have."

Twilight turned away from her brother altogether as she thought about what he was going on about. "I still haven't apologized for that. I feel so... inadequate."

"Why?" He questioned, knowing that she had nothing to apologize for.

"Because you lost a foal and I was too blind to see what you were going through."

Shining couldn't believe the words that fell from her mouth. He didn't remember telling her about that night, let alone a mention of it. His mood grew interrogative. "Who told you about the foal?"

"...Cadance might have mentioned it to me once or twice." She quietly whispered.

"Well that figures." He said, releasing his discomfort.

"But still... That doesn't answer what I wanted to say to you."

Shining couldn't bear to watch her face as he told her his answer. He turned away from her and spoke in a low voice. "I can't, Twily."

"Any reason why besides me being your sister?"

"That... and that I can only see you as my friend. You're my little sis, but you're also my best friend. And I don't want to risk our friendship over something that's forbidden in modern society."

"...I don't care what society thinks."

"What?" Shining asked, completely caught off guard.

"I'm a bad dancer, who cares? I'm an egghead, who cares? I'm awkward to talk to when it comes to dating, who cares? I don't, because society doesn't define who I want to be nor does it define who I am. I will be the one to decide who I am and what I can become."

Shining took a deep breath as he felt his heart drop into the pit of his stomach as he realized that he had to be truthful with his sister, no matter how sad it would make her. But it was his love for her that pressed him onward. He rose from the bed and faced his little sister, holding her hooves in his.

"Twily... I'm setting aside 'big brother' and placing myself in the position of a stallion. You are a grown mare and I feel that you should be strong enough to handle this."

"Okay." She whispered, scared of what his answer would be.

"I love you. I love everything about you and I want to see you happy. But for me to give you something that's half-hearted, would only hurt the two of us. If I was another stallion out in the world and we still knew each other, and if we weren't related by blood, then I would still say the same thing. It's not a matter of blood... It's just that my heart has a special place for you already and that I can't change where you rest. I can only accept where you are in my heart, and if my heart is saying that I want to stay friends, then I can't force myself to enter into something that my heart would have no place for."

"O-okay." She stuttered as her eyes fell to the floor, accompanied by the numerous tears that trickled down her face. Twilight felt her heart rip in two as she could no longer find solace in her brother's eyes. She suddenly felt the familiar sensation of her brother's hooves caressing her softly and securing her.

"Come here, kiddo." He whispered in a soothing tone.

"Big brother..." Twilight finally released what she held inside, allowing herself to break in her brother's hooves. He rocked her gently as she sobbed quietly against his fur. Her tears soaked his coat and her gasps were muffled by his warm body holding hers. In that instant, he became the very individual to hurt his little sister, but he knew that agreeing out of pity or rejecting out of the matter of blood would be more harmful in the long-run. It was tough, but it was love at it's purest: true and unconditional.

"I love you, Twily."

"I love you too."
