Rainbow Dash lay atop her bed, tears gracing her face as she stared out her bedroom window. It wasn’t uncommon for Rainbow to be crying these days, ever since Twilight had…had given herself to the Princesses.

Nopony knew it save for Applejack, but Rainbow had a huge crush on Twilight ever since she had arrived in Ponyville, hell that had been the reason she had crashed into her.

“Why…” was all Rainbow had thought when it had happened, “why the hell did it have to be her. Couldn’t…couldn’t it have been somepony else to have to be the princesses long dead lover…why did it have to be my Twilight.”

Her Twilight…the mere thought of how long she had been calling Twilight that just made her laugh, because she had always thought of Twilight in that way, never once just thinking of her as Twilight Sparkle. “And…and now she belongs to them…it’s just not fair!”

Her head rose from the bed as she heard somepony ring her doorbell, wondering who might the hell was up at this atrocious hour. She made her way downstairs, quickly making her way through the large entrance hall before opening the door, gasping as she saw Twilight standing outside…looking nervous.

“H…Hi Rainbow,” said Twilight, keeping her eyes staring at the ground as she spoke.

“Twilight…um, what are you doing here?”

“Can…can I come inside?” asked Twilight, finally looking up with a pleading look in her eyes.

But there was something else behind that pleading look that caught Rainbow off guard, something that she hadn’t seen when Twilight had come back from becoming consort of the Princesses that had now returned. “Ye…yeah, come on in.”

She lead Twilight into the house, leading her toward the living room an then getting her a drink, sitting down with her as Twilight took her glass, looking nervous as Rainbow asked her a question. “So um…what are you doing here Twi?”

“…Rainbow…I…I need to tell you something, but I need you to promise me that you will not freak out or run away, what…what I am going to tell you will probably come as a big shock.”

Rainbow looked like she wanted to hesitate, hell Twilight was pretty sure for Rainbow this was hesitating, but finally she nodded. “Ok, can’t be any freakier then anything we’ve handled before right.”

Twilight didn’t contradict her, breathing in deep before finally beginning to speak. “Ok, the Twilight you have all been talking to lately, the one who has been running around calling herself the princess consort, that pony is not me, she…she is another pony entirely.”

Rainbow looked skeptically about this, but a part of her, the part of her that had yearned for Twilight all those years kept her from immediately doubting her. “I…I assume you have some proof this time, you know I trust you Twi, but this sounds too much like the whole wedding incident all over again.

Twilight nodded, then her horn flashed and they appeared in Princess Celestia’s bedroom, Twilight keeping her eyes turned away as Rainbow stared in shock from the Twilight beside her, to the one lying between the princesses as the one next to her spoke up again, quietly. “Can we go now?”

Rainbow nodded, sitting down in shock after they arrived back in her house and just sitting there a while, her mind not wanting to accept what she had just seen. But finally the need for answers pressed her, and she spoke up; turning toward Twilight with a questioning gaze. “H…how…wait, your not a changeling are you?”

“No I’m not,” said Twilight, “but I know ever since the wedding we all got changeling detectors sent to us, so you can check if you want.”

Rainbow nodded, and then headed into one of the other rooms before coming back with a crystal, which should have been glowing the moment she entered the room if Twilight was a changeling, and afterwords it would have also dispelled her form to reveal the creature beneath.

“Well that solves that, but what does this all mean…and why are you here?”

“…Rainbow…did your mother share any old pegasi legends with you, ones concerning a ponies…a ponies soul?”

Rainbow nodded, “Yeah, I…I remember her reading this one legend once, about how our souls never die, that…that they live in two worlds, spending half of their time on the living world, and then spending the other half within the realm of the afterlife. The legend said that souls needed to due this so that both realms could enrich each other, taking the experiences from their life into the afterlife and making it grow, while taking energies from the afterlife and renewing the living world.”

Twilight nodded, amazed that she had held on to such a legend like that. “What the legend says is true; our souls do split their time between the realm of the living, and the afterlife. The reason why there are two of me is because one soul, the soul of a pony who shared my name, didn’t want to return to the afterlife, for she knew if she did, she would lose her connection, for a time at least, to the ponies she loved, the ponies who would one day become the rulers of Equestia.”

She gulped back a large lump in her throat, keeping her eyes locked on the glass in front of her as she continued to speak. “So she went to her sister, a pony who knew all the worlds magic, and asked her to teach her magic that would allow her to not follow the natural order of things, and instead allow her to choose her own time to come back to the world. At first the sister refused, telling her that she would be reunited with her loves in time, and that even without her memories of them, she would be able to find them again. But Twilight would not listen, saying that she needed her memories, needed her old self, for how else was she to be able to be a true soul mate to such ageless beings if she herself was not ageless.

“So with a heavy heart, the sister taught her the ancient art of soul magic, and after she learned all she could, Twilight used her knowledge…but not as it should have been used. She began hopping through time, latching on to recently returned souls and going dormant, waiting till her soul mates found her and…and re-awoke her. That pony you saw in there…she was the one who sought to escape the natural cycle of life and death, and I…I am her sister Magic.”

At the mention of the name Magic, something stirred within Rainbow, something long buried within the depths of her soul, and memories began to flood her mind. Memories of her long lost past, of when she had been known as Loyalty, a name that would one day be passed on to the fruit of a very special tree and wielded ages later by her, her closest friends, and her soul mate…Twilight Sparkle.

Rainbow shook herself from the memories, looking at Twilight who stared back at her, a hopefulness burning inside her eyes that Rainbow was not going to let slip away. Rainbow then boldly moved forward, grabbing up Twilight in a fierce hug as she pressed her lips to hers, Twilight looking shocked for a long moment before finally kissing back, tears falling from her eyes as she hugged Rainbow close.

After what seemed like eternity they finally broke apart, Twilight burying her face into Rainbow’s chest as she continued to cry. “I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…”

Rainbow softly shushed her, rubbing her back with her hooves and rocking her back and forth. “Twilight its ok, you don’t have anything to be sorry for.”

“Yes I do, because of me all of our friends…and many other ponies besides have lost their soul mates…forcing them to wander this world time and again alone…forever alone.”

“Twilight stop,” said Rainbow, moving Twilight so that she could face her before continuing to speak. “You were just trying to help your sister stay with her own soul mates, you had known idea what she was going to use that magic for.”

“I should have known…I…I should have stopped her…”

Rainbow pulled her back into a hug, letting her cry on her shoulder as she spoke. “Twilight there was nothing you could do, just let it go.”

It took a while, but finally Twilight calmed down, nuzzling into the side of her neck as she spoke. “I missed you…so much…”

Rainbow nuzzled her, giving her a kiss on the cheek before letting her lay her head upon her chest, looking down at her to ask a question. “So uh…do you mind if I ask about…about us, what we were like in the past?”

“You sure you want to hear about all that, I mean our lives weren't exactly the most…peaceful…”

“I really do,” said Rainbow, “I need to hear it, cause I need to know how the hell I got so lucky to end up with the most perfect egghead in all of Equestria.”

Twilight shrugged off the nick name, smiling as she got comfortable, and then she began her tale. “Well, it all starts long ago in a land called Dream Valley…”

“Why did you not tell me you sensed one of my past lives was back?”

Twilight was glaring at Celestia, who she had walked in on talking to Shining Armor and Luna about his findings in Ponyville, which had made her furious.”

“My love I had my reasons, I knew you would go after her if you knew I had sensed her, and I can’t let you risk your life like that, not when my sister and I can keep you safe.”

Twilight looked at her for a moment, and then turned to Shining Armor, “leave us.”

“What…but Twily?”

“I said leave.”

Shining was surprised by how…cold her voice sounded, and he quickly left the room, closing the door as Twilight walked up to Celestia, looking her directly in the eyes.

“You should have told me.”

“Why!” yelled Celestia, startaling her love. “So you could get yourself killed again hunting her, robbing both my sister and I your love again, I cannot, nor will I allow such a thing to pass!”

“But if you had told me I could have informed you that Rarity just got a hold of me with a letter talking about a pair of stallions named Yin and Yang Lulamoon!”

That got a worried look from Celestia, but before she could say anything Luna spoke up. “But Twilight, surely that is but a coincidence, I mean after all the mare you now reside in shares your name.”

“While I would like to agree with you Luna,” said Twilight, “the fact that Celestia sensed Nyx tells me that there is more going on her then meets the eye, and it could be that…more then just here have escaped the land of the dead to come after me.”

“So what do we do then,” said Celestia, “for we can just leave this.”

Twilight seemed to ponder it a moment, and then sighed, before turning and heading back towards the bedroom before speaking. “We will wait until the morning, and if you sense another presence then Celestia, we will go there and deal with the problem ourselves, till then though, we should rest.”

Celestia seemed to want to protest, but eventually made to follow Twilight, only to notice Luna wasn’t making to follow her. “Luna, what’s wrong?”

“I just sensed a spike within the dreaming,” said Luna, “I am afraid I will have to leave you both this night, though I promise if I can I’ll join you both tomorrow.”

She then teleported away, leaving her sister truly confused. “I…did she just…no no there is no way, after all she was the element of honest…she would never lie.”

Rainbow sat with Twilight, amazement etched on her face as she looked at the mare resting on her chest. Twilight had been right, they had had a rough life…or lives as she now saw it, fighting discord, battling many other monsters, hell even finding time for each other had been a struggle, but they had done it.

But what had amazed her the most was that, as Twilight had been talking about all of it, she had started to remember it as well, though she had figured out it was due to Twilight helping her along, using her magic to open up the barriers in her memory created by her souls repeated passage into the afterlife.

Still one thing just kept nagging at her, “I still can’t believe I was ever a stallion, I mean come on, do I act anything like one?”

Twilight gave her a look, which caused her to laugh. “Ok ok, maybe I do act like a stallion from time to time, but seriously, it’s just weird to think I was a stallion, I mean…”

Twilight shook her head, kissing Rainbow to stop her ranting before giving her a look and speaking. “Rainbow you don’t need to worry about it, you were a good pony, whether you were a stallion or a mare, but most of all you were mine, and that’s all that mattered.”

Rainbow nodded, letting Twilight lay her head back against her chest before frowning, something bothering her as she spoke. “Um…was…was I any good…as a stallion I mean.”

Twilight didn’t answer for a long moment, and then she looked up at Rainbow with a sultry smile before speaking, “You want to find out?”

Rainbow’s eyes widened a bit, but she nodded, watching as Twilight got off of her and light up her horn, using her forelegs to coax Rainbow’s hind legs apart, then she started casting her spell. Rainbow squeaked as she felt a weird pressure expand over her nether region, watching as Twilight’s magic worked over her, transforming her nether lips slowly but surely into a stallion’s length.

Once Twilight finished with her magic she back away, allowing Rainbow to get a good look at her new equipment. It was about average size, not to big, but not to small either, which she figured Twilight had made sure of. After a few more moments of looking, she finally reached out a hoof, hesitantly dragging across her member before letting out a shaky squeak as pleasure was sent throughout her body. “Whoa…that…that felt good.”

“And I know something that will feel even better,” whispered Twilight, moving close till she was sitting in front of Rainbow’s cock, looking up expectantly at Rainbow before speaking again. “Um…if that is alright with you Rainbow.”

Rainbow just stared vacantly for a moment, a more intimate memory appearing in here mind which caused her to blush, then she gave Twilight a shaky nod, moaning as she felt Twilight drag her tongue along her length.

Twilight was practically drooling as she took her first needy lick along Rainbow’s member, holding back a moan as she let the long burning need guide her actions. It had been so long since she had been with her love that she had to keep herself from rushing ahead and just mounting the mare, for she wanted her to enjoy this as much as possible.

She slowly guided her mouth up the length, swirling her tongue around the tip before pulling it into her mouth, hearing Rainbow moan above her as she began sucking on the tip. She slowly began to inch her way down, taking in the first half of her member, relaxing her throat in preparation for taking in the rest of her length.

Rainbow was panting from the pleasure, her body shaking as she felt Twilight begin to sink lower onto her length. Rainbow felt like she was going to explode, shakily tapping twilight to get her attention. “Tw…Twi…I feel something coming up, I think I am going to cum…”

Twilight continued to bob her head, ignoring Rainbows protests as she felt her climax begin to mount. “I need her to cum; I need to taste her again.”

Finally Rainbow couldn’t take it any longer, blowing her load deep inside Twilight’s throat as she hilted on her length, swallowing everything Rainbow gave her before finally pulling her mouth off of Rainbow with a loud pop, smiling at her before leaning up to kiss her.

“Oh man…that was awesome!” said Rainbow, smiling at Twilight as she to smile.

“Well were not done yet,” said Twilight, winking at her as she kissed her again, Rainbow feeling her member rise again due to Twilight’s magic. Twilight then lit up her horn again, teleporting them both to Rainbow bedroom, which caused her to give Twilight a raised eyebrow. “I don’t remember telling you where my room was Twi.”

“You were drunk the last time, I only remember because you couldn’t keep your hooves off of me.”

Rainbow blushed, but slowly shook her head, slowly looking around as she spoke to her old friend…now lover. “So um…how do you want to do this?”

Twilight looked back at Rainbow’s cock, admiring how it was rubbing between her butt cheeks rather playfully before turning back to Rainbow with a smile. “I’ll take care of everything; you just lay there and enjoy Rainbow.”

Rainbow smiled and nodded her head, laying down fully on her back as Twilight slowly position herself, waiting to feel the blessed contact. As she watched Twilight move, her mind wandered back towards some old memories, of when she had been arguing with Twilight about how they mated.

“Clover come on,” she remembered saying, “can’t you let me be on top just this once, I promise I’ll be gentle ok.”

“Hurricane we've talked about this,” Clove had said, “you know I like being on top, it’s just more exciting that way. And besides, you can’t tell me it doesn’t drive you wild being underneath the most powerful mare in all of Equestia.”

Rainbow chuckled, causing Twilight to look down at her as she spoke, “What?”

“Nothing Twi, I’m just…I’m just glad I get to be underneath the most powerful mare in Equestria once again.”

Twilight smiled, then with a cocky grin slammed herself down onto Rainbows length, causing the mare to jerk as the sudden pleasure spiked within her. Twilight herself had clapped a hoof to her mouth, holding back a cry of both pain and pleasure due to being penetrated for the first time. She began rocking her hips slowly, letting the pain wash away as the pleasure overrode her senses causing her to moan loudly past her hoof as she began ridding the cyan mare below her.

“Oh goddess this feels so bucking good!” yelled Twilight, her hips rising up and down as she kept up her vicious pace. “Oh my fucking goddess!”

“Twilight ca…calm down,” stuttered Rainbow, trying to speak between moans as Twilight rode her pulsing length. “Yo…you’ll wake up half of Ponyville!”

Twilight’s horn light up, the entire room being covered in magic temporarily before returning to normal, Twilight falling forward, smiling down at Rainbow as her pace slowed down a more reasonable speed. “There, now I can yell as loud as I want, though it’s not my fault you drive me fucking crazy.”

Rainbow smirked as Twilight hoped she would, stocking her ego paying off in benefits as Rainbow bucked her hips to meet Twilight midway, causing her to cry out in pleasure as her pace once again began to pick up speed.

Then the moment finally came, Twilight’s head lowering down a bit as her pace once again ground to an agonizingly slow speed, and Rainbow decided to do something daring, lifting herself up a bit and grabbing Twilight’s horn in her mouth, causing her to cry out in bliss as pure magic shot into rainbow’s mouth, causing them both to orgasm on the spot.

It took a while for the waves of pleasure to subside, but when they finally did, Twilight simply collapsed on her side, Rainbow panting hard as she turned her face toward her beautiful mate. “What…the buck…was that…”

“S…sorry, I should have known you would do that, you always forget how…how sensitive my horn is…”

Rainbow stared for a moment, but then shook her head, pulling Twilight close and letting her nuzzle into her chest. “Ah forget it; I’ll have you tell me tomorrow.”

“But we have to head to the library tomor… OH!” cried Twilight, jumping onto wobbly legs and then heading over to the doors which lead out to Rainbows balcony, opening them up and stepping outside. Then Rainbow watched in amazement as Twilight conjured up a cloud of black mist, which whispered to her before rushing off into the darkness of the night, Twilight turning back and climbing back into the bed with Rainbow.

“What the buck…”

“Shh, you’ll find out tomorrow when we go to the library, everypony is going to be there tomorrow.”

“…Ok Twilight, I trust you,” said Rainbow, and then she pulled the covers over both of them, snuggling up close to Twilight and following her into the land of dreams, feeling happy for the first time in what felt like eternity.
