Prologue: Rumors and Plans
The final day of school was here. The time every filly and colt lived for, the long, glorious summer would begin at noon that day. Allegro didn't care much about all of that though as she made her way through the empty sky towards the schoolhouse. She had much more important things on her mind that morning. Tonight's the night. Tonight is the night I finally show myself to her.
As she flew the young filly glanced up at the morning sky, the brilliant expanse almost perfectly matching her coat. Her short, neatly-cropped mane fluttered slightly in the gentle breeze that perpetually blew across the cloud city. She glanced around the sky, seeing nopony else in any direction. A large part of her wished to simply find an outlaying cloud and watch the surface for a while, but for once being in class was more important to her.
The building that housed both the primary and secondary schools in south Cloudsdale finally came into view and Allegro began to descend toward her target. Well, this will be the last time I see this ugly old building for a while. Allegro landed softly on the balcony of the large cloud building, taking a moment to catch her breath and glance behind her one last time at the freedom of the open sky before she entered the roof door and made her way down towards her classroom.
As she descended the stairs leading to the primary school classroom, her cheery mood began to darken. She hesitated outside the door for a few moments, mentally steeling herself against what she knew lie beyond. Well, here we go, the filly thought. Time for my favorite part of the day.
With an exaggerated sigh, Allegro walked slowly into the classroom; she noticed almost immediately that the energetic conversations began to die down, becoming hushed whispers. The moment she crossed that threshold, she was the center of focus of the entire room. As had become normal for her in the last several weeks, the colts in her class whispered lewd comments to each other, a few even going so far as to offer the occasional obscene gesture. The other fillies, some of whom Allegro had been close to in the past, crowded around a single filly's desk in the corner of the room. Some stole glances at her, while others openly admired or scorned her. As usual, Allegro ignored their whispers and stares, save for one...
The white-coated filly actually seated at the desk looked up at her anxiously as she approached. Maybe today will be different... Allegro turned to the filly, a warm smile gracing her delicate features. As soon as she met the other filly's eyes however, her white coat tinged a deep scarlet and she buried her face in her forehooves and light blue mane. Allegro's heart sank and she glanced down at her hooves as she walked past her old friend.
Cotton Cloudy had been one of her closest friends since Allegro started primary school, and the older filly had always matched her adventurous friend's enthusiasm in kind. Since that night however, Cloudy had barely spoken to her and was unable to meet her gaze. Not long after that, the rumors began to spread among her classmates. Allegro trusted that her friend hadn't actually said anything to anypony. She didn't have to; her face betrayed her thoughts every time she looked at the younger filly.
Shaking herself from her reverie, she sought out another of her classmates to help lift her sinking spirits. She spotted a colt sitting in the back of the room smiling at her with the slightest hint of blush forming on his cerulean features. She couldn't help but to grin slightly at his obvious crush; she glanced in his direction, he waved at her as she did, but she noticed that he averted his eyes to avoid hers. Her grin grew wider at this. Yeah... Dream on, Thorn.
As she made her way past his desk, Allegro flicked her navy blue tail up and to her side, lightly swatting the colt along the bridge of his snout, the black hairs at the end of her tail just barely keeping her plot from his line of sight. Thorn jumped up at the teasing contact, and promptly tipped his chair over and spilled out into the middle of the classroom floor, face first somehow.
The room exploded into laughter while the hapless colt scrambled to his hooves and repositioned himself at his desk, immediately hiding his face in shame. Allegro, meanwhile smiled to herself, happy to have the attention of the room off of her for a moment.
"You're here early today, Allegro," a familiar voice called out from behind her. Ignoring the continued stares and whispers of her classmates, she turned to greet her friend Rosewing.
"Well, I figured I should probably come to class before the first bell at least once this year." The two pegasi bumped hooves before making their way towards the back corner of the room towards Allegro's desk. "So, Rosie, how's my favorite filly in all of Equestria?"
Rosewing laughed at this. "Really now, you and I both know every filly in Equestria is your favorite." She glanced over at Thorn, who had not moved since Allegro passed. "Though it seems you have no love of colts in you."
"Oh come on, you saw how he was looking at me, he was practically begging for it. It's not my fault he overreacted a little."
"No, of course not." Both fillies giggled at the outrageous statement, then shared a meaningful glance; Rosewing's red eyes meeting Allegro's yellow ones for a long moment before she spoke again. "So this is it, isn't it? Are you sure you want to go through with this? I mean after what happened with Cotton Cloudy-"
"It'll be fine. Dewdrop is stronger than she seems, I've seen it myself."
"I just don't want you to hurt somepony else or get hurt yourself again. I know how much it bothers you." Allegro followed Rosewing's glance towards the rest of the class, which had once again turned its collective attention on the two of them.
"I don't care about them," Allegro said evenly, though a little louder than necessary.
"Well, if you really mean that..." Rosewing had known Allegro long enough to know better than to press her friend on the subject. She twirled a bit of her pink mane in her yellow hoof for a moment, collecting her thoughts. Finally she started again. "So, are you excited about summer flight camp?"
Summer flight camp is an event unique to the cloud city. While flight lessons are a part of the standard primary school curriculum in Cloudsdale as well as many other cities with a large pegasus population, summer flight camp focuses solely on it, without the rules and restrictions of traditional school. The camp itself is funded, almost singlehoofedly, by the CEO of the weather factory, and the clouds necessary to build the grounds each year are supplied free of charge as well. Because of this, many pegasi families across Equestria send their foals to Cloudsdale to attend, the only limitation being the cost of transportation to and from their homes. Summer flight camp has in recent years become amazingly popular among its attendees despite the fact that it takes up several weeks of their summer vacation.
After a long pause, Allegro met her friend's question with a shrug. "I'm not really sure. With everything that happened recently, I'm not sure I want to be there... Although, I could probably use the practice."
"Well, there'll be plenty of time for that..." Rosewing knew all about her friend's condition, a rare genetic defect that caused her to use far more energy than necessary while flying. Rather than dwell on the somewhat depressing subject she chose to again shift the topic slightly. "And, of course, there will be plenty of chances to see all your fellow foals' toned, sweaty bodies, tails taut against the surging wind, wings fully erect."
"Hey, come on, I don't think like that all the time!" Allegro balked. "Anyway, you're one to talk."
"Now now, you know I only have eyes for one of my classmates."
It was now Allegro's turn to pause and consider her next words. She knew exactly who her friend had referred to; a certain coffee-colored colt that had moved to Cloudsdale earlier that year. "You know, you really should just tell him how you feel about him rather than just twisting yourself in knots like this."
"Not everypony is invincible like you, Allegro. I don't know what I would do if he didn't feel the same way..."
"I don't know about invincible, it's just that I've never really had feelings like that for anypony before. But anyway, you can't stay quiet on this forever, especially with camp coming up. If you don't make a move pretty soon, eventually somepony else will." She paused to let her words sink in. "I could always tell him for you if you can't-"
"H-Hey look, here comes Dewdrop!" Rosewing practically shouted. At once silence dominated the room while Allegro, as well as the rest of the assembled foals, turned to where Rosewing's hoof indicated. There, halfway in the doorway, stood a turquoise pegasus filly frozen in place, cowering slightly and attempting to hide her face behind her too-short-for-the-job bright yellow mane.
Nice one, Rosewing... Allegro sighed heavily. The fact that she had been responsible for provoking the outburst never occurred to her...
She trotted over to the doorway, taking the attention of her classmates back onto her shoulders as she did. "Mornin' Dewdrop," she said as she approached the filly and placed a hoof on her side, strategically placing herself between her skittish friend and the eyes and ears of their classmates.
"Oh! Um, good morning Allegro." Dewdrop fidgeted a little as she spoke, but was able to maintain her voice. "I'm a little surprised that you made it here before I did today. You seem to arrive just before the second bell more often than not."
"Yeah..." Allegro withdrew her hoof from Dewdrop's side and instead placed it on the back of her neck, rubbing it nervously. I was a little excited about today, well, tonight, and didn't sleep all that much last night... "So anyway, is everything set for tonight?"
Dewdrop nodded. "My parents said that after the accident last week, the factory is running behind on the clouds for flight camp this year, so the whole division is working nonstop. They said it will probably take a few days at that pace, so it's just going to be my big sister and me at home until then."
Perfect. "Sorry to hear about your parents working so much overtime, but that does mean we can pretty much do whatever we want tonight." Both fillies smiled at that.
Allegro glanced behind her. The spectacle of her presence seemed to have died down for another day as her classmates had returned to their own conversations or preparing for class. She motioned Dewdrop to follow and the two made their way towards Dewdrop's desk. "Well, it's about time for class," Allegro commented, watching as Dewdrop slid gracefully into her seat. "You're still gonna meet me and Rosewing over at Sunny's Shakes after we get out today, right?"
"Oh, ah, y-yes of course."
Allegro could feel the hesitation in Dewdrop's voice as she spoke, "Good. I'm sure Rosewing's looking forward to hanging out with you again-"
Their conversation was interrupted by the first bell. Allegro swore under her breath. "Well, I guess it's that time. I've got something to take care right after class so I'll meet you at Sunny's, okay?" Staying just long enough to see her friend's nodding response, Allegro made her way back to her own desk as did everypony around her.
The energy in the classroom was brimming with anticipation.
The long-awaited summer vacation was about to begin.
Author's Note
So here it is, my first attempt at "publishing" a story of any kind. I'm surprised at myself that this ran as long as it did, given that it was a prologue.
So, next chapter should be fun as we shift to Dewdrop's house (one guess what'll happen there...). The gap between chapters will likely be indefinite, but this next one should be out within the week, with any luck.
Three fillies stood outside of a small diner on the south end of Cloudsdale. The light blue filly, slightly smaller than her friends, spoke in hushed tones to the pale yellow filly across from her. Between and slightly behind the two, a turquoise pony shifted on her hooves, watching quietly as her companions chatted among themselves.
"Thanks again for meeting with us, Rosie," Allegro said to her friend. "I know it doesn't seem like it, but I think Dewdrop's starting to open up a little more."
"Well, you're right about one thing there..." Both fillies glanced back at Dewdrop who smiled at Allegro but otherwise made no move to engage in the conversation. "I swear, it's a fight for me to get two words out of that filly. I honestly don't know how you got her to open up to you the way she has."
Allegro shrugged. "It's not like I did anything special; I approached her like I would any other pony. I wasn't even really interested in her then, she just seemed so lonely all the time..."
"Well, I guess that makes sense. I remember how you were before we became besties."
"Hard to believe looking at me now, right?" Allegro giggled as she thought for a moment about how quiet and reserved she used to be. Rosewing had approached her one morning while Allegro was playing with blocks and together the two fillies had built a sprawling castle. After that, every day Rosewing had come to play with her every morning, forcing conversation on her and finding new games for the two of them to play. Eventually Allegro would seek out her friend to talk and play and when she began going to primary school, she had no trouble at all talking to the other foals, despite being the youngest among them.
"Well, so long as you two keep hanging out, I'm sure she'll open up just like you did. Which, again, I have to ask you... are you really sure you want to do this now? If she doesn't take it well, she'll probably retreat right back into that shell again."
"And again I'll tell you, you worry too much, Rosie. I can see the same internal strength in her that you awoke in me back then. I'm confident that she'll be better off for the experience."
"Well, I hope for both your sakes you're right about that." Rosewing flared her wings out, glancing up at the sky. The sun had just begun its slow decent; it would be another hour or two before Celestia would raise the moon in its place. "Alright you two, I've got plans for tonight myself so I'll see you later."
Rosewing turned to Dewdrop and leaned in, causing the other filly to recoil slightly before calming herself. "Take care of my little Allegro for me, okay?" she said to Dewdrop in the most motherly tone she could manage.
"Oh, y-yes of course," Dewdrop managed to stammer out, blushing profusely. Allegro trembled slightly at the effort to not laugh at her friend's reaction.
Rosewing then turned back to her best friend. "Let me know how it works out later, okay?" Allegro nodded her agreement and the two bumped hooves before Rosewing turned to head off. She waved to the two one last time before she let herself fall off the edge of the cloud and spread her wings wide to catch the rushing wind as she glided off.
Allegro watched her friend fly away, shaking her head and sighing. That lazy little thing's gonna glide right into a building one of these times...
"Are you ready to go Allegro?" Dewdrop said as she walked up next to her smaller friend.
Allegro stretched her wings wide. Though Dewdrop's house wasn't that far from Sunny's, a mere 15 minute flight, flying all the way there without stopping would be difficult for her. Well, sitting here bemoaning my weak wings isn't going to make this any easier... She turned to her friend and graced her with a smile. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be."
"Okay, we can fly up to catch the tailwind if that will be easier for you."
"Yeah, thanks." Allegro said quietly. Dewdrop nodded, fanning her own wings a few times in preparation.
The two fillies took to the skies, straining to gain altitude as quickly as they could. Dewdrop quickly pulled ahead of her friend as they went, and as the two arced further upwards Allegro was given a perfect view of the older filly's flank. I guess there is one good thing about having these wings, she thought to herself as the two fillies flew up to catch the swirling winds that perpetually blew over the cloud city.
Sometime later, the two fillies glided down and eventually landed outside of Dewdrop's house. Dewdrop waited patiently by her friend's side as she stopped to catch her breath. Because they had taken the time to fly into the tailwind, the flight had taken longer but Allegro was not completely exhausted by it.
Once she had managed to compose herself, she stared up at the house before her. Allegro had been to Dewdrop's house before, but even so, she still looked up in awe. While the filly's family was far from well-off, weather factory workers, especially those with families, were subject to lower rates and taxes on property in the semi-permanent clouds that made up the residential areas of Cloudsdale. As both her parents worked there, they were able to afford to build a two-story house which, while not opulent, was still impressive in relationship to the vast majority of privately owned houses in the cloud city.
The house was quiet, naturally, as Dewdrop's parents would be staying at the factory barracks while they worked to catch up on the cloud order. Dewdrop opened the door and stepped to the side, holding it open for her guest; Allegro smiled at her as she stepped inside.
"Well, since we already ate, should we just go back to my room?"
"Yeah sure," Allegro said, trying not to let on how excited she was. While she had been in Dewdrop's house a few times before when they used to fly to school together, she had always been asked to wait in the family room or dining room while her friend was getting prepared to leave. The prospect of going upstairs to the bedrooms had her imagination going into overdrive; not only was she fantasizing about the things she was planning to do to her filly friend, but part of her couldn't help but wonder what Dewdrop's room would be like.
"Are you coming Allegro?"
Dewdrop's sudden question shook Allegro from her fantasies, and she realized that her friend had already made her way halfway up the stairs before noticing she wasn't behind her. Allegro gave her friend a sheepish grin before hurrying up the stairs herself.
At the top of the stairwell, a double door stood prominently in the center of the hallway, arcing around on both sides. "This is my parent's room," Dewdrop answered Allegro's unspoken question. "Down the right hallway is the bathroom and my room. The other hallway goes to my sister's room."
Allegro glanced down the hallway in the direction Dewdrop had indicated her room lie. In the corner was the door leading to the bathroom, then the hallway disappeared down the corner. She then turned to look down the other hallway. "Hmm. You know, it's never really occurred to me before but I don't think you've ever told me your sister's name."
"Oh, really now? I'm saddened to hear this."
The voice that had answered her wasn't Dewdrop's, it had come from behind her. Allegro turned around- and then looked up to meet the eyes of the mare that had interjected. Before her stood a pure white pegasus with a messy turquoise mane similar to Dewdrop's coat and deep green eyes. When the mare caught her eyes, she smiled down at Allegro. "I apologize for my sister's lack of manners. My name is Dew Prism. And you, little one?"
"Allegro" she answered quickly. "I don't know if Dewdrop's ever told you anything about me, but the two of us have become pretty close friends in the last couple of months."
"Oh really? I'm glad to hear that. As I'm sure you've noticed, little Squirt here has a bit of a problem with new ponies." Dew Prism glanced over at her sister as she spoke; Dewdrop shifted on her hooves, clearly uncomfortable, but remained quiet. "I'm curious, Allegro, how exactly did you get her to open up to you?"
"I didn't do anything special really, I was just persistent. I could see she was lonely and I wanted to help her through that."
"Well, aren't you the noble filly...?" Dew Prism smiled at Allegro as she said this, but the filly could swear she saw something else in the older pony's gaze. It felt familiar, akin to the gaze that she herself had levied upon her classmates. It was almost as though...
Allegro's blood suddenly ran cold. Is she... Does she suspect...? But how could she possibly? She did her best to not to let her body betray her sudden discomfort, but couldn't stop her tail from flicking wildly.
Dew Prism laughed at Allegro's somewhat panicked reaction. "Well, whatever the reason may be, it's nice to see some new faces around here. So, little Allegro, you seem a fair bit more active than my little sister, what do you do for fun?"
"Well, let's see," Allegro started, happy for the opportunity to steer the conversation in a different direction. "I've always been fond of flying, even though I'm not the strongest flyer. More than that though, I like to go exploring the city and the surrounding clouds."
"Oh?" Dew Prism's smile broadened and her excitement was evident in her voice. "You're an explorer too? I'm surprised we haven't run into each other before. Have you ever been to the top of the cloud hill off of the west district residential? You can totally see all the way to Los Pegasus!"
"What? You big liar, there's no way you can really see that far." Allegro scoffed at the claim, but her own eyes lit up at the topic.
"No really, go in the morning. You can see the Applewood sign on the horizon."
"Hmm, from under the western reaches you say... I'll have to check that out sometime."
"How about Shady Stable, you ever go down there?"
"The station under Cloudsdale? No never, I wouldn't be able to fly back up here."
"They have dirigibles there, silly filly, you could just ride one back up..."
As the conversation began to pick up, Dewdrop began to feel increasingly isolated from both her friend and her sister. Allegro stopped herself in mid-response as she felt a hoof on her back. She and Dew Prism exchanged a glance, then both turned to the dejected pegasus. Dewdrop had cast her gaze on the floor, unwilling to meet their eyes. An uncomfortable silence settled into the space between the three...
Dew Prism finally spoke up. "Well, I suppose I shouldn't keep you from my little sister too long now. That is why you came here tonight, after all." At this, the young mare suddenly jumped up and over the two fillies between her and her room. Both fillies ducked and covered their heads in their hooves involuntarily at the sudden action, despite Dew Prism coming nowhere near striking them. "You two have fun now. I'll be in my room if you need anything."
"We'll be fine, thanks." Allegro waved at Dew Prism and the older filly returned the gesture before turning towards her room.
As the older filly began to retreat down the hall, Allegro noticed two things about her for the first time. The first was the older filly's cutie mark, three raindrops completely encircled by a rainbow. This information barely registered in the filly's mind however, as the second revelation completely dwarfed the first. As she walked, Dew Prism's tail was raised slightly from her slender flank and her wings jutted out slightly from the older pegasus's sides. As a pegasus, Allegro was well aware of what those physical reactions usually meant and this only served to further confuse the filly as she watched her friend's sister disappear around the corner towards her room.
"So how come you never told me about Dew Prism?" Allegro said as she turned back to her friend. "She seems really cool, I don't know why you'd be embarrassed about her."
"It's not that, really."
"Then what is it?" She stopped as she saw that Dewdrop had begun staring at her hooves, her eyes closed tightly. Oh great, she's closing up... Realizing she wasn't going to get a satisfying answer out of her friend, Allegro let out a quiet sigh, then forced a smile for her friend. "Okay, it's not important, let's just go back to your room."
Dewdrop looked up at her and nodded. She started down the hallway towards her room, brushing past Allegro's side as she did. Allegro paused for a moment at this; the hallway, while tight, was easily wide enough for two fillies to pass through without hindrance, and she had been almost on one of the walls herself. She finally shrugged off the contact and followed her friend back to her room.
Nightmare Moon walked slowly down the hallways of her family's ancient home turned fortress. Her eyes darted back and forth at the ponies before her. Her night guard snapped to attention as she entered their vision, bowing low as she passed them. Servants dropped to their hooves immediately, some covering their faces or averting their eyes from the princess's gaze. The dark princess smiled as she continued down the hallway. Some bow to us proudly, some bow to hide their cowering. It matters not. All before us bow... As it should be.
At the end of the hallway, a spiral staircase led up to the central tower of the old castle. Several colts and fillies lined the hallway before the staircase, their lifeless eyes lighting up as their ruler, their mistress approached. Nightmare Moon paused as the swarm of foals surrounded her, talking excitedly to her in a jumbled mess of tiny voices, some going so far as to hug her legs affectionately. The dark princess allowed herself a moment to accept their affection, forced though it may be, before raising one of her forehooves. At the silent command, the swarm ceased its assault and again formed ranks across the staircase.
"My children, thou art our most devout followers. Tonight, as always, we shall bring another lost foal into our family." Nightmare Moon's thoughts were heard by the gathered foals, each of whom bowed as she "spoke" to them. "Follow now, and prepare to greet thy newest sister."
The dark princess stepped onto the stairway, her pace quickening slightly in anticipation of what was to come. Behind her, her "family" quietly followed her up the steps two at a time.
At the top of the tower, a small bridge led across to a single room suspended in another tower. Wind whipped at the procession as it crossed. Nightmare Moon paused before the door and concentrated her magic into her horn. At her bidding, the double doors before her glowed with the princess's aura before sliding open silently. The princess stepped across the threshold into her private chambers, her procession filed in behind her, lining the walls of the circular room.
Before her was a large circular bed, the bedspread a pure silver. The floor was patterned after the night sky, complete with twinkling stars. The same pattern was present on the walls and ceiling; indeed, the entire room seemed to float upon a sea of stars. In the center of the ceiling, the moon cast a soft light upon the sole occupant of the bed, an earth filly whose tiny body was nearly lost upon the giant bed she peacefully slept upon.
As Nightmare Moon approached the bed, the filly began to glow with the same aura as that which surrounded the dark princess. She still sleeps under the effects of our spell. 'Tis time now, little one; time that thou become one of us, and for thy soul to become one with us... Nightmare Moon reached out with her forehoof and placed it upon the earth pony's head. Her horn lit once more, and the glow around the filly intensified. A moment later, the glow suddenly faded away completely and the filly began to stir under the princess's touch.
The filly finally opened her eyes after a moment, looking around her at the starry space encompassing her before finally focusing on the pony before her... Recognition finally set in her eyes. She scrambled away from the dark princess, a scream frozen in her throat.
"Welcome, our little pony, to our chambers." Nightmare Moon stepped onto the bed, slowly closing the distance between her and the frightened filly. "Tell us, little one. What art thou called?"
"I..." the filly began, trembling violently. She continued to back up until she finally hit the wall of the room. "M-My name is Aurora, Princess... P-Please, I don't want to be eaten, please don't devour me!"
Nightmare Moon placed her hoof upon Aurora's lips, silencing her pitiful pleas. "Hush now, our little pony, thy Princess of the Night hath chosen thee to join us-"
"Wait a minute Allegro... Why are you talking like that?"
Allegro took a step back from Dewdrop, allowing her friend to sit back upright. A small blush had formed on the turquoise filly's features from their earlier position. I'm still a little surprised she agreed to this story, but this couldn't possibly be more perfect.
The story in question was an old ponytale about the days of Nightmare Moon's brief reign of fear over Equestria. It is said that the dark princess was particularly interested in bringing foals into her new country and would periodically abduct foals from families in Canterlot. Those she deemed worthy of joining her family, she was able to command their absolute loyalty by devouring their souls, leaving them willing slaves to their new Mother... The rest were devoured, literally.
The story itself was about the daughter of a minor noble, Aurora, who was said to be the most beautiful pony in all of Canterlot, mare or filly; it was said that her beauty and grace was a match even for Celestia herself. Such beauty finally attracted the attention of the dark princess, and one night as she slept, Aurora was spirited away by Nightmare Moon.
"I don't remember where," Allegro admitted after a moment, "but I read somewhere that ponies in ancient Equestria spoke this way all the time."
"That's silly. I've never heard of anything like that..."
"Like I said, I read it somewhere." Allegro paused, wracking her brain to remember the source of the information she was now drawing from. "It might have been something Tornado Bolt showed me."
Dewdrop looked even more skeptical as she turned her head slightly to one side. "And you believed her? You know as well as everyone that filly's full of horse apples..."
"She had a book. I don't think the book itself would lie to me..."
"In any case, can you just talk normal? I can only make out so much of that old-timey language."
Allegro shrugged; ultimately it made no difference to her plans whether or not her speech patterns were authentic... The two fillies moved to get back into position, Dewdrop on her back cowering while Allegro held one hoof over her mouth.
"Now where was I," Nightmare Moon pondered aloud. "Oh right... Do not fear, little one, your Princess has chosen you to join with the Children of the Night."
"W-W-What are you talking about? What children...?" Aurora ceased trembling, her fear momentarily overcome by curiosity.
Nightmare Moon stood back up and chuckled lightly. "Have you not noticed them, Aurora? My children are here with us now." She gestured around the circular room and, from the starry background dozens of colts and fillies stepped forward into the cool moonlight.
As their forms became more distinct, Aurora saw that they were in fact foals, though there was something... off about their expressions, their eyes seemed cold. The foals continued to approach until they had closed upon the edge of the silver island, their faces all echoing the same warm, inviting smile. As she stared at the assembly before her in wonder, she realized that she recognized some of the foals before her as friends who had gone missing weeks before...
"Prima? Buttercup?" Aurora asked slowly. The two fillies she addressed continued to smile at her along with the rest, no recognition crossed their faces at all. "Celestia... What happened to you all? What has she done to you?" Aurora recoiled in horror at the thought of what had become of her friends.
At once, the foals before her reached out one hoof each, beckoning to Aurora. The dark princess mimicked the gesture as she spoke. "They are my most loyal subjects, little one. Under my rule, they are free of the fear and pain of this wretched world of light." Aurora began to cower again at the gesture, curling herself into a ball and trying to make herself as small as possible. Nightmare Moon pulled her hoof away with a shrug. "Well, it doesn't matter now. You will understand soon enough, once you join them."
Nightmare Moon's horn began to glow once more, that eerie black glow that seemed to extinguish the light around it. Aurora's eyes began to glow with the same intensity and she turned to stare directly into the princess's. As the spell began to take hold, the color in Aurora's golden eyes began to fade ever so slightly...
"No!" Aurora suddenly shouted, looking away from Nightmare Moon and shutting her eyes tight. "I don't want this! Please, don't do this to me, Princess!" Aurora braced herself expecting some horrible retaliation from the dark princess. Long moments passed and nothing happened. Finally, Aurora risked a glance up at her assailant.
Nightmare Moon stared down at her with a bemused grin on her face. "It's been some time since a foal was able to resist my invitation... You're truly somepony special, Aurora; I want you to join my family now more than ever..." As she spoke, two of the foals surrounding them, the two Aurora had earlier identified as Prima and Buttercup, stepped onto the bed. They approached the filly and, at the dark princess's unspoken command, circled to either side of Aurora and took one of her forehooves each, pinning her down to the bed.
"I suppose I'll just have to take the direct route with you..." Nightmare Moon said as she once again loomed over the trapped filly before her.
Aurora twisted in her friends' grip, but they held firm. Realizing she was now completely at Nightmare Moon's mercy, she cried out in absolute terror. "No! Please, somepony... Anypony, save me! Mommy! Indigo!"
At this, Nightmare Moon took a step back and closed her eyes. Aurora looked on, confused by the sudden change in attitude, but then recoiled once again when the princess began to laugh. "Silly filly. Nopony is coming for you."
Nightmare Moon turned to one side and offered her hoof to the crowd. One of the colts reached up and allowed his "mother" to guide him onto the bed to stand beside her. "Do you see now? Your Indigo is already one of us!"
"W-Wait, what?! What're... Allegro, what're you doing?!" Dewdrop pulled one of her forehooves free from the pillow that had been pinning it and pointed it accusingly at Allegro. "That's not how the story goes at all!"
Indeed, Allegro had altered the path of the ponytale. In the original story, Aurora resists Nightmare Moon's attempts to indoctrinate her just long enough for her foalhood friend Indigo to arrive and help her to escape the princess's clutches. Together, the two are able to survive the dangerous wilds and make their way back to Canterlot to inform Princess Celestia of Nightmare Moon's whereabouts. Celestia then flies out and destroys Nightmare Moon, ending her reign once and for all.
Allegro grinned at this. "Trust me, Dewdrop, this way will be more fun."
"I don't know-"
"You do trust me, right?" Allegro took Dewdrop's accusing hoof in both of hers, looking intently into her friend's eyes. This is it, the moment of truth...
Dewdrop's expression softened significantly. "O-of course I trust you Allegro, you're my best friend."
"I'm glad... I'm honored to know that I'm your best friend Dewdrop." Allegro let her friend's hoof slip from between hers and watched as it limply fell to Dewdrop's side. "Now then, I've got plans for how this is gonna play out. Trust me, you're gonna love it."
"What're you going to do?"
"Why eat you, of course!"
"Why would I enjoy that?!" Dew drop asked, skepticism clear in her voice.
"Just trust me, okay? I promise you won't regret it." Dewdrop finally nodded at this and Allegro's grin returned. "Good, now let's get started..."
Allegro pulled Dewdrop's arm back under its pillow restraint and smiled reassuringly down at her before once again adopting the role of the dark princess.
Indigo knelt beside his Mother, his eyes cold and empty like all the other gathered foals. Nightmare Moon's grin widened. "You are already mine, Aurora. It's only a matter of time now..."
Aurora's face fell at this. "Indigo... No, not you..." She closed her eyes tightly, letting a tear roll down her face as she thought of her friend's fate. Moments later, she was brought back to the reality of her own fate as she felt Nightmare Moon take hold of her hind legs, slowly pulling them apart. Her hopes of escape dashed, Aurora offered no resistance to the movement and simply whimpered pitifully.
Nightmare Moon stared down at the filly hungrily. "Such a rare delicacy before me... Well, I suppose I should dig right in then."
Aurora's eyes snapped open when she felt a gust of what she correctly assumed was the princess's breath upon her flank. She looked down as far as she could against the two fillies pinning her forehooves to find that Nightmare Moon had moved between her hind legs, her muzzle hovering just above her crotch. The wicked grin on her face had grown wider still somehow... She wanted to question this strange turn of events, but something in the princess's gaze silenced her.
Nightmare Moon locked eyes with a filly a moment longer before turning her attention back to the prize before her. She gave a heavy snort, her breath once again washing over the filly's nether region and Aurora shuddered with confused anticipation.
Dewdrop gasped sharply when she felt Allegro's nose prodding her fillyhood; she felt her friend drag it back and forth across the tiny hole and she trembled, suddenly unable to catch her breath. "Allegro, wha- Ahh!" Dewdrop's head snapped back as Allegro ran her tongue slowly across the hole, pressing ever so slightly into the folds as she did.
Allegro's tongue continued its work unabated, its strokes coming faster and reaching deeper each time. It was all too much to take in for the filly, her friend's peculiar actions and the inexplicable, intense reactions her own body was giving quickly overwhelmed her. In her shock, the pillows that had been her "restraints" may as well have been two fillies pressing down on her. She lay helpless before her friend as she tried desperately to process the situation she found herself in...
Her best friend was licking her in a place nopony had ever touched her before, a place she herself had never even consider touching. The whole situation seemed gross and wrong somehow; why would anypony want to touch the place she peed from, let alone lick it? The sensations she was feeling were completely foreign to her. It felt strange and kind of frightened her, but the more she thought about it, she realized that it also felt... good. Really, really good.
She felt her folds being gently pulled open and her friend's tongue fall directly upon her foal hole. Her gasps and yelps became a single heavy moan. Without realizing it, Dewdrop's eyes had screwed shut and she'd begun panting; her whole body bucked and shuddered and sharp moans were wrenched from her throat every time her friend made contact with her hole.
Allegro pulled away suddenly and sat up, looking down at her friend's flushed features. "Are you enjoying yourself?"
Dewdrop's world was graying out. She couldn't find her voice at all; her thoughts were an incoherent mess. Finally she managed to squeeze a few words out between her strangled breaths, "Don't... Please... don't stop...!"
"I knew you'd love it." Allegro smiled and returned to her friend's snatch. Their earlier role-play now completely forgotten, Dewdrop pulled her hooves free and reached for her friend's head. Allegro felt a pair of hooves on the top of her head, attempting to pull her even further into the quivering fillyhood before her. Seems like she's really getting into it now. Time to turn it up a notch. She pulled her tongue away from Dewdrop's foal hole, earning a small groan of frustration from the other filly. This was quickly replaced by a rather loud squeal when Allegro gave the filly's clit a sudden, sharp lick. As she continued to attack the sensitive nub, Dewdrops's hips began to buck and spasm; Allegro was forced to bring her forehooves up to hold her friend's hips still.
Allegro's tongue paused for a moment as a new concern entered her mind. Dewdrop's enthusiastic yelps and moans were satisfying of course, but they might attract unwanted attention. If Dew Prism heard them somehow... No, there's nothing to worry about there. Dew Prism's room is all the way on the other side of the hall; there's no way she could hear. Go ahead and scream to your heart's content, my dear.
Dewdrop's head was swimming. Her entire world slipped away except for her friend's tongue on her fillyhood. She could tell... something was coming, and whatever it was it was going to be big. "I-I-I'm starting to feel weird...!"
Allegro pulled her tongue back just long enough to answer. "Don't fight it. Just relax and let it go..." Even as she said this, she was losing herself in anticipation of her friend's climax. Rather than returning to licking, she closed her mouth over Dewdrop's clit, sucking on the hypersensitive nub as hard as she could.
The sudden jump in intensity was finally too much for the filly. Dewdrop cried out as loud as she could in pure ecstasy as her body arced as far as it could and locked up. The whole world faded away as she became consumed by the blinding pleasure radiating from her fillyhood and through her entire body.
When she felt her friend seize up, Allegro released her clit and instead pressed her tongue into the filly's violently spasming foal hole, greedily taking in as much of the her friend's arousal as she could get. She brought her hoof down on the girl's clit instead, attempting to draw out the filly's climax as long as she could. Dewdrop's pussy clenched around her tongue so intensely that she was unable to move it at all and was drenched in the filly's rushing juices.
Finally Dewdrop felt her body beginning to relax as the intense fire that had been raging in her faded into a soothing glow. Her tense muscles suddenly went completely limp, all the energy in her body fading away. She was vaguely aware of Allegro withdrawing her hoof and tongue, landing a final lick over her still lightly spasming foal hole. She gave a quiet yelp at the contact, her body too exhausted to even jump at the sensation.
Allegro pulled herself up alongside her friend and ran a hoof along the back of her neck. "So, how was it?" She was fairly confidant she knew the answer, but she had to hear it from Dewdrop herself.
Dewdrop continued to gasp for air, her features extremely flushed. She was barely able to lift her head to turn to Allegro to respond. "That... was... amazing..." Dewdrop said between gasping breaths. "Could you... Could you please do that again?"
Allegro giggled, marveling at her friend's innocence and naiveté, even in the afterglow of such an intense climax. "I don't know... You look like you might just pass out if you came that hard again." Allegro couldn't help but giggle again at the pout that formed on her friend's features. "I'll show you how to do it yourself later though, once you calm down a bit."
Allegro leaned forward to nuzzle her friend's neck, before she could however, she felt Dewdrop's hoof on the back of her neck and pull her into a kiss. Allegro was surprised by the sudden move, but after a moment she surrendered herself to the gentle embrace.
Dewdrop could taste something peculiar on her friend's mouth and tongue, which she finally realized was her own juices Allegro had sucked out of her. She found that she enjoyed the taste and opened her mouth, allowing her tongue to lap along her friend's muzzle. Allegro responded in kind, and soon their tongues were entwined with one another.
As the embrace deepened, Allegro became aware of a hoof fumbling around between her hind legs. Guessing at her friend's intention Allegro reached her own hoof between the two of them, catching her friend's and guiding it to her moist opening. Once she found her target, Dewdrop's hoof began to press into her slit, brushing back and forth erratically. Her movements, though uncoordinated, nevertheless elicited the desired response and Allegro moaned into the kiss.
After what seemed like an eternity to Dewdrop, the two fillies broke the embrace, gasping for air as they did. Dewdrop's hoof fell away from her friend's snatch as fell onto her back, completely exhausted from her first ever orgasm. She felt Allegro's body against her and instinctively pulled herself closer to the warmth of her friend. She could feel her consciousness slipping away, but there was something she felt she had to tell her friend first...
"Allegro..."
"Hmm... What is it?" Allegro sat quietly, waiting for her friend to continue. After a moment, she sat up slightly to get a better look and found that Dewdrop had fallen asleep. Allegro gently ran a hoof through the other filly's mane before she pulled the discarded covers of her friend's bed over the two of them and lay back down. A blush formed on her own face as she thought back to what had been her first real kiss, but she couldn't help but smile at it. Before too long, she too slipped into a blissful slumber.
Allegro woke up early the next morning, greeted by the first light of Celestia's sun. She left her eyes closed and just let her mind drift back to the events of the night before.
Allegro rolled over onto her side- or rather tried to before she found her lower body was pinned by something soft and furry. She lazily opened her eyes to find Dewdrop had curled up under her, her legs had wrapped around the smaller filly's chest. Dewdrop nuzzled her neck in her sleep. Allegro smiled and leaned into her friend's unconscious cuddling.
As she lay there watching Dewdrop sleep, she marveled at how her filly friend, who was a bit larger than her, could look so small and sweet curled up as she was. She looks so innocent, even after what just happened to her. It's amazing... I wonder if I ever look that innocent anymore.
Allegro closed her eyes again and after a few minutes drifted off to sleep again...
She awoke later to the sensation of somepony shaking her gently. She let a languished sigh slip past her mouth as she stirred.
"Allegro, come on, wake up. I made us breakfast."
At the mention of food, Allegro's sleep-addled senses snapped to attention. She opened her eyes and sat bolt upright, causing Dewdrop to stumble backwards, nearly falling off the edge of the bed before she collected herself. Allegro couldn't help herself; she giggled at her friend's reaction, even as the other filly stared at her. Finally after a long moment, Dewdrop began to giggle as well, before both ponies broke into a fit of laughter.
"Sorry about that," Allegro said, once she had caught her breath. "The mention of food tends to get my attention."
"I noticed," Dewdrop giggled a little more at this.
"So you really made us breakfast? That's awesome."
"Well, I wanted to do something to thank you for last night."
Allegro stared at her friend for a moment. She was glad Dewdrop hadn't freaked out about what they had done the night before, but the way her friend was acting this morning made no sense to the filly. Well, at least I know she won't stop talking to me...
Dewdrop had stepped off the edge of the bed and had offered a forehoof to her. Allegro allowed her friend to guide her onto the floor before following her out of the room and down the dining room. Allegro sat in one of the chairs while Dewdrop stepped into the kitchen, reappearing a moment later carrying a plate with an impressive stack of pancakes in her mouth. She set the plate on the table before pulling a chair up next to Allegro's and sitting down.
Allegro stared at the stack of pancakes before her in wonder. "Wow, this looks great! You really did this all by yourself?"
"I did. When I was younger, my sister taught me..." Dewdrop trailed off, and the same sad expression crossed her features. Allegro shook her head.
"Well, enough staring at this feast, let's eat it."
Dewdrop visibly brightened as she saw her friend pick up half of the stack and place it on the plate in front of her. Following her friend's lead, Dewdrop pulled the plate with the rest of the pancakes in front of her and the two began to eat.
"So, do you have any plans for today?" Allegro asked once she had finished eating.
Dewdrop looked up, two pancakes sitting on her plate forgotten. "I was thinking about visiting my parents at the weather factory. I know it must be hard to have to be doing so much overtime without being able to go home at all, so I thought I would go and surprise them."
"That's really sweet, Dewdrop." Her friend smiled even brighter at the compliment. "Your parents have no idea how lucky they are to have you..."
It was Allegro's turn to frown as her thoughts turned to her own situation. Allegro's parents had, apparently, vanished not long after she was born leaving the foal orphaned. The filly was too young to remember her parents and the orphanage in Cloudsdale was the only home she knew. It was a surprisingly warm home to the foals that found themselves there; most of the foals considered each other family and many had become close friends, like Allegro and Rosewing. Despite the warm atmosphere though, there were of course times when Allegro was reminded of what she was missing.
"You can come with me if you want to, Allegro. I'm sure my parents would like to see you again."
"T-That's okay. I've got to check back in at the orphanage before too late today." Allegro glanced away from her friend's gaze. While what she said was true, it wasn't the real reason she didn't want to go with her. In light of what just happened between us, meeting with her parents would be a bit... awkward...
"Okay. Well, I'm going to be leaving once we get cleaned up, so I guess I'll see you later."
"Yeah." Allegro then picked up her plate and made her way towards the kitchen. A moment later Dewdrop appeared next to her, brushing against the smaller filly's side as she placed her plate on the counter. The two fillies shared another smile and turned to walk towards the front door.
When they entered the foyer again, Dew Prism was standing by the front door. She turned to Dewdrop as the two approached. "Are you going out already?"
Dewdrop nodded at her sister.
"Where're you headed?"
"The weather factory."
"I see... Well, tell mom and dad I said 'hi'."
The awkward conversation ground to a halt at this. Dewdrop went to the door and opened it. Allegro walked to the door herself, but stopped when she felt Dew Prism's hoof on her back. The older filly leaned down next to her and whispered, "Can I have a moment?"
Allegro looked up at Dew Prism, confusion evident on her features, but nodded. She turned back to Dewdrop. "I'll see you later, okay?"
"Okay." She waved to Allegro before she stepped out the front door and took to the skies.
Allegro watched as she left before turning back to Dew Prism. The older filly gestured for her to follow before making her way back up the stairs. Allegro quickly got in step behind her, following her up the stairs and to the left towards Dew Prism's room. When she came into the room, she found that Dew Prism had climbed onto her bed and laid down on her hooves.
What is this about now? Allegro stared up at Dew Prism, equal parts excitement and confusion running through her at her current situation. She waited for the older filly to start, but when Dew Prism didn't make indication that she was going to start, she shrugged and asked, "Um... what did you want me to stay for?"
A smile slowly crept onto Dew Prism's features. "Actually, I wanted to ask you something about Dewdrop. As I'm sure you've noticed, the two of us aren't very close these days so I doubt she would tell me if I asked her..."
"I didn't want to say anything... I don't know for certain, but it seems like she really misses you."
"We were closer once, but that's not important right now. What I wanted to ask you was, what were you two doing last night?"
"W-What do you mean?" Allegro tried to maintain a calm demeanor but her eyes betrayed the storm brewing in her mind. Oh sweet Celestia, she knows!
"You see, last night while I was in the bathroom, I heard some peculiar sounds coming from the direction of my little sister's room. I listened closer and noticed that these sounds were actually voices, which as I continued listened in, became louder and more heated." Dew Prism got back to her hooves and stepped off the bed, her smile broadening. "I've been wondering what could possibly have been causing all that commotion, and so far I keep coming back to this one conclusion..."
Dew Prism stopped just in front of the trembling filly and placed a forehoof under the her chin, forcing her to look directly into her eyes.
Allegro's whole world froze.
"So tell me Allegro, exactly what were you doing with my little sister last night?"
Author's Note
Wow, I hit the wall super hard going down the stretch there... It's been a while since I wrote anything to this degree, but I think it's starting to come along. I hope it was worth the wait. Let me know what you think now that there's some actual plot going...
Speaking of plot... it seems Allegro's shortsighted ass is in a bit of a spot. I wonder what Dew Prism's gonna do with her now...?
Edit: I'm kinda with Dewdrop on this point; Old English sucks. I'm so glad I didn't keep going with that... and even what little I did do needed patching...
Explanations and Exploitations
Allegro stood in front of her window staring blankly at the back end of her bedroom. The sun slowly began to crest in the sky, illuminating the stark white walls of the building across from her room. Small windows dotted the walls of the building, leading to rooms identical to hers.
It was the same view she had spent the better part of the last three days staring at...
Three days... Three days of this blank view... Of these blank walls...
She had raced home from Dewdrop's house, but wasn't able to make it back to the orphanage before the noon curfew she had agreed to in the paperwork she had signed the previous day. The headmistress was livid when she finally did walk in almost an hour late, but because summer flight camp was right around the corner, she had decided to be lenient.
I might have actually made it back here in time to make curfew too, if she hadn't left me so worked up that I couldn't fly... Instead I've been in freakin' lock-down for the last three days!
She let out a heavy grumble as she turned away from the bland view from her window and back towards her equally bland room. The room itself was just large enough to be functional for a pony her age. It consisted of her colt-sized bed, which dominated the majority of the room. To one side of the bed sat a large chest containing all of the filly's meager worldly possessions; the other side contained a coat rack, from which her saddle bags currently hung. With a thump, she tossed herself onto her bed, rolling over to stare at the only decoration that hung from her otherwise bare walls; a poster of her favorite band, the Black Stones.
"Hey Allegro, are you awake in there?" A voice called out from outside her door. A smile crept onto the sky blue filly's face as she turned toward the door to respond.
"I'm up. Come on in, Rosie." A moment later the door to her room creaked open and Rosewing walked in. Allegro moved down to the foot of her bed and pulled herself into a sitting position. The two fillies bumped hooves once they were close enough to one another. "It's good to see somepony up close again."
"I'll bet. So you're out of solitary today, right?" Rosewing said as a smirk quickly formed on her face. Noticing her friend didn't immediately respond, her expression quickly changed to one of concern. "I hope you didn't go too stir-crazy in here by yourself..."
"Oh don't be ridiculous. I was only grounded for three days."
"Yeah, but this is you we're talking about. The filly who loves nothing more than the total freedom of the outdoors."
"I'm fine, really." Allegro moved to one side of the bed as Rosewing circled around to the other side and climbed up next to her friend. As soon as she sat down on the bed her snout wrinkled at the scent she caught coming from her friend's bed.
"Well, that explains why we haven't heard a peep out of you the last couple of days... Honestly, Allegro, do you have any self-control?"
"Oh don't give me that. I know full well somepony else here that's been jilling herself off for just as long as I have."
"Of course, and I'll always be grateful to you for showing me how. But I at least have the good sense to air out my room afterwards..."
Allegro rubbed the back of her head with her hoof. "I guess I'm just so used to my own scent that I don't notice it..." She gave her friend a weak grin to match her explanation.
Rosewing shook her head slowly. "Honestly, I don't know how you've managed to keep this a secret from everypony..."
"Yeah..." Allegro said after a moment. Memories of her latest escapade flooded into her mind, reminding her that her statement was no longer true...
Rosewing failed to notice her friend's internal struggles, however, and moved on to what she was really after. "Well, enough of that for now; you still owe me details of your latest little adventure. It must have been a good one if you couldn't make it back to the building on time the next day."
Allegro grinned at this, launching into the story of her encounter with Dewdrop, sparing no detail. Both fillies laughed at Allegro's interpretation of Aurora's Nightmare. Rosewing marveled at how readily Dewdrop had accepted what was happening, remembering how freaked out she had been her own first time. Finally once Allegro finished her story, Rosewing chimed in.
"Well, I guess you were right on this one. Dewdrop is tougher than I gave her credit for."
"I told you. That filly's got allot of spunk, she just doesn't realize it herself yet."
"You would know." Rosewing laughed as she flinched away from Allegro as the younger filly jabbed her in the side with her hoof. "Anyway, I do think you may have sparked something else though."
"Huh, what are you getting at?"
Rosewing turned to her friend, her expression growing serious. "What you're describing about her reactions... I think she may have feelings for you, Allegro."
"That's ridiculous." Allegro "She's just in awe of the feelings I brought her. Once she figures out how to do it for herself she'll be fine."
"We'll see... Anyway, that still doesn't explain why you were so late getting back."
Allegro grew quiet for a moment at this. Rosewing glanced over at her friend, catching her staring at her hooves. She gave her a gentle nudge, "So... actually, the next morning was actually even crazier than the night before."
Rosewing looked incredulous. "Seriously? How?!"
Allegro let out a long, exaggerated sigh. "Well..."
Oh buck, oh buck, oh buck, oh buck, oh buck!! Allegro was completely paralyzed in Dew Prism's grasp as she stared into the young mare's eyes, panic evident in her own. She wasn't able to form a coherent thought as her mind raced impossibly fast, trying desperately to figure a way out of her current situation.
Dew Prism's predatory grin suddenly softened "Relax my little pony. All you have to do is be honest with me and everything will be okay."
The hoof under her chin suddenly slid behind her neck, beckoning her forward. Allegro nearly collapsed under her own weight before she was finally able to regain control of her body. She meekly followed the older pegasus's lead as she guided her up onto the bed before sitting down across from her.
"Now, little Allegro, please tell me what you and Dewdrop were up to last night. And don't you dare omit anything."
"All of it?" Allegro said in a trembling voice.
"My goodness. Please relax little filly. I'm not going to eat you or anything." Dew Prism's words only caused Allegro to blush even harder as the memory of her saying that exact thing to Dewdrop the night before played through her mind. Dew Prism arched an eyebrow at this response, but nonetheless continued. "Now, why don't you start from where I last saw you in the hallway?"
Allegro sighed, but seeing no other option, complied and began to describe the events of the previous night to Dew Prism. She told her about how the two had been playing board games for a while before they grew bored of it, and how she had suggested they act out a story instead. She told her about acting out Aurora's Nightmare, and how she had altered the plot so that Nightmare Moon was victorious. When she finally got to the part about going down on her however, she drew her eyes to the bed, unable to meet Dew Prism's gaze. The moments that had filled her with so much pride in the moment now felt shameful as she recounted them to her partner's sister. Her head filled with increasing severe thoughts of what her punishment might be and her eyes began to well with tears.
When she stopped to try to choke back a sob threatening to escape her lips, however, she became aware of a peculiar squelching sound and heavy breathing from before her. She looked up to find that Dew Prism had snapped her eyes closed and had begun vigorously rubbing her marehood while listening to the filly's story.
Dew Prism opened one eye lazily, curious as to why Allegro had stopped and found the filly staring at her in utter shock. A smile crept back to her features as she spread her hind legs wider, giving the filly an unobstructed view of her hoof work. "Now now, little filly, why did you stop?" she asked, her voice a little airy.
Allegro's mouth worked to produce words, but no sound escaped her lips for a moment. Finally she was able to find her voice. "Are you clopping to me and Dewdrop?"
"Well, isn't that obvious?" She raised her juice-laden hoof to point at Allegro. "What you were describing was very exciting. It's just a natural reaction to that. Don't you feel the urge as well?"
The scent coming from Dew Prism's outstretched hoof struck Allegro. She realized that the older filly had been correct; despite the shame she had been focused on while describing her actions, she also had gotten a little worked up.
"May I ask you one more thing, Allegro?" Her voice became low and sultry as she inched closer to the stunned filly. "You showed Dewdrop such a good time last night... I wonder, could you show me how you did it?"
Allegro flinched when she felt Dew Prism's hoof on the back of her neck, gently urging her forward towards the older filly's excited marehood. This feels weird... Should I really be doing this? Allegro shook her head as she stared hesitantly at the older filly's snatch. After a moment, she let her resistance fade. Well, no sense in getting hesitant now, it's not like I've never done this before...
She knelt forward, her snout stopping just short of burying itself in the flower before her. She used her hooves the spread open the slightly puffy folds, eliciting a low moan from above her. She smiled inwardly at this. Okay, nothing to worry about; this is no different from any other filly I've ever been with. It's just... bigger.
She gave the fillyhood before her a tentative lick to the dripping hole before her, examining the taste left on her tongue. "Mmm... That's nice," the response came from above her. "Don't be shy now, little one." Emboldened by this, she threw her caution and unease to the wind and pressed in harder, digging her tongue into the hole and pressing a hoof into Dew Prism's throbbing clit.
"Oh... Sweet Celestia, right there...!" Dew Prism called out, her voice suddenly straining. Allegro pushed her tongue in deeper, lapping up the arousal that met her. Every movement of her hoof and tongue brought a fresh moan from the older filly's throat. She could feel Dew Prism's hole contracting around her tongue as she pressed harder, all the while rubbing lightly but firmly along her bud. Dew Prism's moans became more ragged as the oral assault continued. "Yes! Just like that! Don't you dare stop!"
She felt the hoof on her back suddenly pushing hard on her head, forcing her deeper into the hole, her nose coming to rest upon the mare's clit. Ah... Can't breathe... Allegro struggled against the hoof, only to find herself further immobilized by Dew Prism's legs locking in place. Panicking, she began hyperventilating, thrashing erratically against the young mare's hold.
Dew Prism writhed under the sensations; the filly's tongue thrashing wildly inside her, along with the feeling of her erratic, desperate breaths upon her exposed clit, was driving her quickly to her limit. She reached her remaining hoof down to join her other one on the back of Allegro's head, trying somehow to pull her deeper into her needy hole.
Finally, just as Allegro's world began tunneling, the dam burst. Dew Prism howled in delight as her muscles spasmed erratically, all of her senses focusing in on the feeling of her partner's nose and tongue. Her juices practically fired out of her, flooding the helpless filly's open mouth as she rode the waves of bliss. Her muscles began to relax and she lost her grip on the filly's head.
The instant her partner's hooves fell from the back of her head Allegro pulled away gasping for breath. A final blast of the mare's climax hit her snout, further drowning out her own senses. Allegro simply sat there for several long moments, the fog in her head refusing to clear. Suddenly Allegro found herself on her back as the older filly pinned her to the bed with a hoof to her midsection. Something about the look in Dew Prism's eyes told Allegro that struggling wouldn't be a good idea; instead she stared wide-eyed at her.
Dew Prism leaned in close and began to lap up the remnants of her own juices off the filly's face, causing her to blush even harder. "You're pretty good at this, little filly," Dew Prism said between licks. The young mare then leaned in and planted her lips forcefully upon Allegro's, forcing her tongue into the smaller filly's mouth. Dazed, Allegro surrendered to her partner's ministrations as her own head began to fog over.
After a few moments, Dew Prism pulled out of the kiss and spoke again. "Tell me, little Allegro, how old are you?"
"Nine," Allegro answered somewhat hesitantly.
"So young..." Dew Prism smiled again. "So how did you come to find out about all of this?" As she spoke, her fore hoof drifted down the prone pegasus's chest, passing over the very tip of her fur but never making solid contact. Her hoof stopped just above her slit, which had already begun to flower in anticipation...
"I, ah..." Allegro blushed heavily, recalling the incident that had led to her first ever orgasm. "I kind of taught myself. I had an accident when I was little and sort of, well, got stimulated by it. Later on I realized what had happened felt really good and I tried to make it happen again."
Allegro began to subconsciously thrust her hips forward, desperately trying to feel the hoof on her directly. Unfortunately for her, Dew Prism anticipated her movements and adjusted her hoof accordingly, making sure that it was constantly just out of reach of the struggling filly.
"I must admit, I'm impressed at how much you've been able to figure out on your own, Allegro. You're a very clever little filly. Still..." Dew Prism leaned down so that her face was right next to Allegro's ear before she continued. "You have so much left to learn..."
Before she could think to question what the older filly had meant, she felt Dew Prism's mouth close around one of her primary feathers on her right wing. At first nothing happened, but just as Allegro thought to look over and question her partner's methods, she felt her tug gently on the feather, its connection to her wing tugging slightly in response.
Allegro's mouth fell open and her head snapped back as a jolt of electricity fired from her wing through her entire body. The sensation was so new and exciting. So overwhelmed by the first sensation was she that she didn't even have a chance to brace herself before a second wave crashed through her as Dew Prism continued slowly preening her wing.
As the sensations continued to rock her, she became increasingly aware of the fire in her loins growing unbearably intense. Unable to find her voice, she uttered a string of pleading mewls while her limbs flailed weakly. She was vaguely aware of Dew Prism giggling as she switched sides to attack her left wing.
While her other wing began to fire off the same blinding sensations, she felt one of her partner's hooves slide across the length of her slit, parting the folds ever so slightly. Her mind exploded into fireworks, completely overtaken by the feeling her body relayed to her. Allegro practically screamed as her whole body jumped and shuttered; had she not been pinned down be Dew Prism's other hoof, her wild spasming may very well have thrown her off the bed. Another light brush elicited a long, steady moan from Allegro as she bucked her legs desperately, seeking more stimulation.
Dew Prism let go of the filly's wing and brought her hoof to her face to inspect it. To her surprise, she found that the side of her hoof drenched in the foal's arousal. "My my. You're already this wet? Are you sure your name isn't Squirt?" She took her time to lick Allegro's juices from her hoof while she sat up on her flank. Looking down at the filly's weakly spasming form, she saw that, indeed, she had already begun to leave a small wet spot on the sheets beneath her.
"Tell me, little Allegro," Dew Prism said, that wicked grin finding its way to her face once more. "Do you want more?"
Allegro was unable to respond, her whole world still reeling from the effects of her wings and fillyhood assaulting her immature body with overwhelming pleasure. Dew Prism merely giggled; she hadn't actually expected a response from the filly, it was fairly clear to her that Allegro was lost in the sensations. She reached down with her fore hooves, wrapping them around the filly's hips and drawing the glistening honeypot into her waiting muzzle.
Allegro's confused whimper was quickly transformed into a series of sharp, gasping moans as she felt Dew Prism press into her needy foal hole. One of Dew Prism's fore hooves dropped back to the filly's wings, rubbing gently along the almost throbbing length of her wing bones. At the same time, she felt Dew Prism's tongue sliding agonizingly slowly along her desperately spasming foal hole. After what seemed like an eternity, her tongue reached Allegro's clit; Dew Prism closed her mouth over the love button, giving it a gentle tug while she licked at it inside her mouth.
It was all too much for the filly. She had never felt anything like what she was feeling in that moment. Every inch of her body was on fire, and yet she felt there was even more waiting to be released. She trembled helplessly, waiting for that all-consuming final wave to crash down upon her; she was certain that it would wash away everything in its path, leaving nothing in its wake save for pure ecstasy the likes of which she had never known...
... And then all at once it all stopped.
Allegro felt herself being lifted up, the older filly nuzzling her midsection and inhaling the heavy scent of her arousal, but purposefully avoiding her most sensitive spots. Slowly her eyes fluttered open, though her vision was too hazy to make out anything but the outline of the young mare carrying her.
Reality finally struck her when she felt a sharp breeze on her back as the large window flew open. "What... what are..." was all Allegro could manage before she found herself being lowered onto the roof of the first floor. All she could think to do was stare at Dew Prism in confusion.
"Well, that's all for now. I'm afraid I have a busy schedule today, so I need to get going. Anyway, you should probably be getting home now yourself."
"Y-you..." Allegro's legs trembled underneath her, while her wings were painfully locked in a flared open, upturned position. Every single breath of air upon her exposed wings seemed to further spark the hyper-sensitive appendages, but it just wasn't enough to bring her to the release she now so desperately desired. It was a struggle for the filly to even form words through her combined arousal and desperation. "You can't... be... serious..." she finally managed between gasping breaths.
Dew Prism chuckled slightly from inside the window. "Consider this your punishment for going after my little sister, you naughty little filly. But hey, if you want to pick up where we left off some other time, you know where to find me. Trust me, little Allegro, I've got so much more I can teach you..."
And with that the window shut and the curtain flew over them, leaving Allegro alone on the roof of her friend's house.
"Wow..." Rosewing said finally once Allegro finished her story. "That's pretty intense. So then the reason you missed curfew-"
"Yeah, because I couldn't bend my wings at all so I had to run all the way across the South District and Market Street to get back here..."
"That must have been difficult for you."
"You have no idea... Especially considering I had to sneak through the back alleys most of the way to keep anypony from noticing my, ah..." Allegro reflexively reached over her back and placed a hoof on one of her wings as she spoke, a slight blush forming on her features, "... problem." Beside her, her friend had fallen to her flank, her entire body shaking with fits of laughter. "It's not that funny, Rosie!" Allegro snapped, blushing deeper.
"Sorry, sorry." Rosewing stood up and attempted to compose herself before continuing. "But hey, it sounds like you learned a little something about your body though. Who knew wings were that sensitive. I mean it's almost like a second button, to hear you describe it." Rosewing brushed up against her friend's side, their wings brushing lightly past one another. The color in Allegro's face immediately doubled, and she let out an audible gasp as her wings snapped open and straight up towards the ceiling.
Rosewing jumped back in shock at this. "... Allegro? Are you-"
"S-Sorry!" the smaller pegasus stammered while she slowly willed her wings to close. "Sorry... It's just... well, ever since Dew Prism touched my wings like that, even the slightest contact has been making me all worked up."
"I can see that..." Rosewing shook her head. "So what're you going to do from here?"
"About what?"
"Abou-" Rosewing was stopped cold for a moment, completely taken aback by the question. "About Dewdrop and Dew Prism...! What, did you forget what we've been talking about the last half-hour?!"
"Well, I am starting to get hungry..." Her friend simply stared at her. "Okay sorry, that was terrible. I apologize for that one... Anyway, I'm not really sure what I'm going to do, or if I even need to do anything. With flight camp starting, I doubt I'm going to be spending any significant amount of time with either one of them."
"I don't know Allegro. I think both of these situations are going to come back on you. You should really think about what you want to do if and when they do."
"I'm sure it'll be fine. You really do worry too much, you know that?"
"Okay," Rosewing said, shrugging at her friend's aloof attitude. "Anyway, we should get flying. The opening ceremonies for flight camp start in an hour and I heard the Wonderbolts are conducting the ceremonies this year!"
"Yeah, you go ahead. I just need to clean up a bit in here first."
"Uh huh... Well, be sure to clean up after yourself when you're done 'cleaning up'." Rosewing said, another boisterous laugh escaping her as she turned to exit the room, followed quickly by a pillow striking her in the flank.
"That's totally not what I meant at all!"
The attack only caused Rosewing to laugh harder for a moment, before she was finally able to calm herself and reach for the door. "If you say so. I'll see you at the track, Allegro. Try not to be late today."
Allegro sighed as she went to retrieve her pillow, before climbing back into her bed and sitting down. She closed her eyes as she again replayed the events of that morning in her head, as she had several times in the last few days. As before, she could feel her body responding to her thoughts, but this time she resisted her rising arousal as best she could (though she failed to notice that she had begun grinding lightly against her pillow). She instead attempted to focus in on one thing, or rather one pony. Despite herself, she was forced to admit that Rosewing had posed a very good question, one that Allegro didn't have an answer for...
If I do meet up with Dew Prism again... what am I going to do?
Author's Note
... Well, this was a wild ride to get to this point. I flip-flopped on the presentation of this chapter three times before finally going back to my original idea. I tried to commit social suicide that one time... I've had three side projects hit my table in the interim (one of which is actually already done, I'm just waiting for the right time to post it). And of course I've been reading all the other wonderful foalcon fics floating about... All of that adds up to about a month of delays. But at long last, here we are... Chapter two... *sigh*
Anyway, next time, at long last, the oft-teased Summer Flight Camp begins with a special presentation from the youngest ever captain of the Wonderbolts. Also, those relationships that Allegro is aggressively trying not to deal with...? Yeah, they're not going away.
