Waking Up With Twilight

Chapter 2 -- Some Prisons Don't Have Bars

"Your Majesty, I would request you let me know before you do that -- I had just eaten about fifteen minutes ago and teleporting like that on a full stomach makes me want to -- BLAAARRGG!" I exclaimed as I lost the battle against my nausea. My stomach felt like it had been tied into a knot by her abrupt teleport, causing her to give me a look of concern and apology.

"I must apologize for that, Amethyst -- there is a great deal of information I would like you to give me," she stated as she used her magic to clean up the mess I had made. "I shall provide you with more food, if you'd like."

"Is it verboten for ponies to eat meat? As a human, my diet was very meat intensive," I stated. "And for breakfast, it was customary, depending on location, or at least where I came from, for humans to have bacon along with whatever else they were having for breakfast. Personally, I preferred burnt bacon and burnt white bread toast."

"For as long as you remain a pony, Amethyst, I would strongly recommend against eating meat -- you do not want to carry the reputation as a carnivore -- and as a mare, that stigma is an even greater burden to bear than you might realize. I shall have an escort take you to the dining hall for brunch."

"I was curious to know if you might join me, your Majesty -- you said you were curious about a great many things about my home world," I stated, though my puzzled expression spoke loudly enough. She gave me a reassuring smile.

"I can obtain that information any time I want, Amethyst -- I have certain duties and must attend to them first. I may join you in the dining hall, or I may await your return here, or I may accompany you during your tour of my Castle, or I may visit you in your room," she offered warmly.

"Your Majesty! You are providing me with a room here in your Castle? You are too kind," I grinned.

"You will be assigned certain duties to perform while here in order to cover room and board -- you will also be provided a monetary stipend for discretionary purchases as you see fit."

"What sort of duties?" I asked, almost hesitantly.

"Whatever I assign you, of course," the Alicorn chuckled.

"But ... but I have a job ... in my ... home ... world?" I asked fearfully as I saw her turn around and glare at me.

"Amethyst, you are now a resident in my realm, and while you were a human, you had a job in your home world -- but you are no longer there. You are now one of my little ponies and you are to obey Equestrian law just the same as you obeyed the laws and regulations in your home world."

"I ... was hoping to ... return to ... Earth ...?"

"Only when I permit it, Amethyst -- and you certainly cannot return looking like that, now can you?" she asked, nearly giggling as she did so.

"And if too much time passes there, I won't have a job or a home to return to," I replied dejectedly.

"Don't worry about it too much, Amethyst -- I'm sure you will enjoy yourself here, after all, you have done quite well in providing me pleasure! I took the liberty of reading your mind and noticed you expressed a strong desire to remain here and make a new life for yourself! Well, I am providing you that opportunity! As I had stated earlier, depending on how well you pleased me, you would be rewarded -- and this is your reward!" she grinned.

"Um ... thank you, your Majesty?" I half-heartedly stated as more of a question than a sincere offer of gratitude.

I think I might have done too good a job of pleasing her...

"I know it may seem like a curse to you now, Michael, but trust me -- in due time, you will come to appreciate it. I would also like to inform you that I have extended your lifespan by ... a considerable amount, so you don't have to worry about dying of old age or other causes anytime soon! Consider that as part of your reward as well!" she stated a little too cheerfully for my taste. Hearing her call me by my human name while I was still in the body of a unicorn mare raised the hackles on the back of my neck, something she noticed by raising an eyebrow. I decided that now was not the time for confrontation.

"And this amulet? I get to keep it, right?" I asked as I took another glance at it, admiring its beauty.

"But of course, Amethyst! I don't ask for the return of gifts, unlike some ponies you've heard about."

I glanced at the amulet again, feeling the power flowing through it as I could sense my own magical power being enhanced by it. It glowed an iridescent blue to match the diadem in its center. "Very well then, Princess Celestia, you have my sincere thanks. I just hope I can provide you with satisfaction to the best of my ability," I stated reverently.

I wonder how long she wants me to stay here...

The Alicorn smiled warmly at me. "Excellent, Amethyst, that is precisely what I wanted to hear from you." She then called one of her royal guardsponies, a stallion, to be my chaperon and escort. As with any royal guardspony, his armor was magically enchanted to cause his coat color to appear white, though when he removed it, his coat changed to a strong teal color, his mane and tail having a tawny gold and brown color to them, his eyes a pale orange.

"Hello, Lady Amethyst, I am Right Face, 2nd lieutenant of Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia's Canterlot Guard and I shall be your escort. I am to give you a tour of the Castle and to show you to your room as well as notify you of your duties and workplace here. I would also like to personally state just how beautiful you are, my Lady!" he noted brightly. A quizzical look crossed his face momentarily when he noticed the lack of a cutie mark.

I chuckled. "You certainly are an eager stallion, aren't you? I'll let you in on a little secret -- appearances can be deceiving some times -- and at one time, I was a male human," I said, offering a big toothy grin.

"Ah, the lady makes jokes!" he chuckled. "You must be joking, you wouldn't say something so outlandish if you weren't ... would you, my Lady?"

"A-heh, sometimes reality can prove to be more amusing than any jokes one might make," I said softly. I watched him go into wide-eyed shock, which caused me to erupt into laughter. My laughing was infectious enough to get him to start laughing as well.

"Ah, of course! You were just joking! I'll be sure not to ask such questions again, my Lady," he offered sincerely.

"I am honored you refer to me as 'my Lady,' but you may refer to me as Amethyst if you'd like -- actually, I think I would prefer that," I mused.

"I noticed your amulet, Amethyst -- such a talisman marks you as nobility, therefore, I am obligated to call you 'my Lady' as it represents the normal order as established by Equestrian law," he responded.

"I thank you for your thoughtfulness then, Right Face," I chuckled. "Nobility, eh? I wonder what the Princess has in mind for me." The stallion trotted ahead of me, informing me that I was to follow him. I was somewhat surprised to see that as a mare, I stood taller than him -- and as we passed various other ponies, I noticed I stood taller than a majority of them as well. Not as tall as when in my human form, but I found myself pleased anyway. I caught him stealing glances at me as we trotted to the dining hall -- initially I considered it amusing, but he told me that as my escort, he was required to ensure that I remain in his eyesight, therefore he would look back to make sure I hadn't run off or anything, though he also confessed he was smitten with my beauty.

Might want to see if you can make that work to your advantage...

We trotted through the castle until we reached the dining hall, a trek which took about ten minutes, during which I was stared at by a fair number of ponies, though when they saw my amulet bowed slightly to me, save for a certain white unicorn stallion who seemed to point his muzzle upwards in contempt. I noticed his mane had been styled for him, though I also recognized his cutie mark.

"Prince Blueblood!" I shouted at him, chuckling softly. Right Face turned to face me and gave me a worried look.

"You'd best not anger him -- he'll lie to the Princess about you," he admonished.

"Ah, such a pretty lady -- I've not seen you around here, um -- I'm at a bit of a disadvantage here -- you seem to know who I am, so who might you be? How is it you have no cutie mark?" he asked, a slight air of condescension in his voice.

"I am Amethyst Shadow, your Majesty. My lack of a cutie mark is a secret which I may tell you some time later."

"How is it you know of me?" he asked, his gaze seeming to harden.

"I heard tell of a certain event which occurred during the last Grand Galloping Gala involving a certain white unicorn mare who was here with her friends, which --"

"Please, Lady Amethyst, do not remind me of that event -- I was utterly mortified! I had just been groomed, and this detestably horrible commoner had the temerity to shake her filthy cake-covered body and dirty me up in the process!" he complained.

"Rumor has it you used her body to shield yourself from a falling cake," I mused. I saw him turn a paler shade of white.

"N-n-nonsense! I am a Prince! I would never stoop to using another pony's body as a shield!" he protested. I grinned at his mendacity.

He's every bit as slimy as I heard...perhaps I can teach him some humility.

"If you say so, your Majesty. I must be off -- see you later," I stated nonchalantly and returned to my chaperon's side. "Right Face, let's get a bite to eat, please."

"I am pleased you restrained yourself, my Lady -- the Prince can have quite a temper," he noted.

"Lady Amethyst, I would desire your company this evening," Blueblood requested as he trotted up to me. I stood about half a hoof taller than him, so having him look up to me brought a smile to my lips. He misinterpreted my smile.

"I must apologize, your Majesty, as I have other plans this evening. I appreciate your kind offer, but I must politely refuse." I watched his expression drop.

"Please, Lady Amethyst, I insist," he begged. He pouted at me, making me giggle softly.

"I am very sorry, Prince, but I cannot. I have a meeting with Princess Celestia, and she requires my presence."

"Very well then, my Lady. Some other time, I suppose? I am her nephew, so I might be able to persuade her to let me join you some time," he stated, a note of hopefulness in his voice.

"Your Auntie might have a few things to tell you about me you're not going to believe," I grinned as I turned back to my stallion escort. "We have tarried long enough, Right Face -- I need something to eat before they stop serving."

"Lady Amethyst? What do you mean by that?" asked the clueless Prince.

"You shall discover the truth soon enough, your Majesty," I chuckled, not bothering to face him as I followed my escort into the dining hall. Unbelievably, the Prince followed us in.

"I shall join you for brunch," he offered. I was sorely tempted to facehoof, but restrained myself from expressing my disbelief in that fashion.

Does he really find me that attractive or is he really that desperate?

"Suit yourself, your Majesty," I replied flatly. I took a seat towards one end of the table, noticing Princess Luna was having a light snack. I saw her glower at Blueblood, which brought a smile to my face. Upon noticing the Lunar Princess, I bowed before her.

"Princess Luna, your Majesty," I offered warmly. "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Amethyst Shadow."

"Such formality! We hath not seen thee in Canterlot before -- wouldst thou tell Us of thy origin?"

"I would be delighted to, your Majesty! I would also desire something to eat -- Princess Celestia teleported me here from Ponyville, and the resulting discomfort caused me to evacuate the contents of my stomach," I stated.

"We shall have words with Our sister regarding that -- We are sorry to hear of thy plight -- thou wears an amulet of the Alicorn? Where didst thou receivest it?"

"Your sister gave it to me, Luna -- as a reward for services provided. I have a story to tell you, one which you might find completely unbelievable, but one which is true. At one time, I was a male human -- until today, with one exception, one day about five months ago when I was transformed into Twilight Sparkle," I began.

"Verily, Amethyst, thy tale already sounds unbelievable," Luna noted. "We are more curious to know what services thou provided Our sister to convince her thou wouldst deserve that amulet thou wears."

"Please call your sister here so she may transform me back into my male human body and I will show you what services I provided her!" I giggled. Luna found my demeanor disrespectful and commented on it, but I looked her squarely in her eyes to let her know I was serious about it, so she called her sister, who immediately teleported into the dining hall. Upon seeing me standing next to her sister, a smile crept on her face.

"Amethyst, I see you have met my sister. Luna, why have you called me here?"

"We desire to know why thou hast given that talisman to --"

Without bothering to let her sister finish her statement, the elder Alicorn wrapped her aura around me and gave me another reverse transformation into my male human body. This caused everypony in the dining hall to express no small degree of shock, several spit-takes, a few faintings (including Blueblood), and Luna's eyes to go wide and jaw to drop. I gave her a big toothy grin before walking to her and scratching her behind her ears.

"Tia, where didst thou findest him? Verily, his touch works magic!" the indigo Alicorn exclaimed. I looked down on my chest to see the amulet was still there, but Celestia cleared her throat to get my attention.

"Michael, are you going to give my sister the full demonstration of what you did to earn my favor?"

"Your Majesty, that's entirely up to both you and your sister -- if she desires the full treatment, including the "happy ending," that's for both of you to decide," I chuckled as I scratched lower on the Alicorn's neck, drawing some rather lascivious moans out of her. "I had no idea she was this sensitive," I added, grinning slightly.

The Solar Princess grinned broadly at my statement. "I believe my sister does indeed desire the full treatment, Michael. Consider it part of your duties here in my Castle, though such requests will be made sparingly so as to prevent you from becoming excessively fatigued. Luna, I believe we should return to your bedchamber to continue this matter."

"Ah, yes, Tia, We concur," the Lunar Princess moaned. "We shall teleport thee with Us," she said to me without thinking and enveloped me in her aura and disappeared, rematerializing in her bedchamber a split-second later.

"BLAAAARG!" I protested as I disgorged my food again, then coughed a few times. "Water! I need some water!"

"Amethyst, We apologize for that -- the sink is in the washroom, to your left," she said softly.

"My human form is called Michael, your Majesty," I said as I walked to the washroom to drink a few handfuls of water to clear my throat and wash my face off. I found a towel and wiped my face with it and returned to find Luna splayed out on her bed.

"Didst thou not speak of a 'happy ending?' We desire such be provided Us, Michael!" she grinned.

"Ah, the happy ending. Please be kind enough to stand for me, Luna -- it's more convenient for me that way."

She dutifully complied with my request, almost a little too eagerly. I returned to scratching her head and neck, but she complained that I had already done that and wanted a further demonstration of what I had done. As with the previous ponies, I began rubbing circles into her withers, running my hands along her back, though my fingers brushed against her wings, which seemed to spring outward quite stiffly.

"Michael, please be careful about Our wings," she stated flatly. I rubbed circles into the delicate muscles under them, eliciting some breathy moans from her. "Aaaah, Michael! Thou hast found Our spot! We desire more, please!"

I continued to massage her body, working smaller and tighter circles just in front of her tail on her back, then down the sides of her flanks, lightly tracing her cutie marks. Her moans became deeper and longer, her breath coming in gasps as she found herself becoming quite aroused by my touch. I took her slender left hind leg with my right hand and gently worked into it with my left hand, down to her hoof.

"Stop thy teasing and start the rutting!" she commanded, her voice making my ears hurt.

"Ooooh, who's a naughty filly?" I asked coyly, grinning broadly at the indigo alicorn. She returned my grin with one of her own.

"We hath been a naughty filly, Michael! Thou must spankest Us, as We deserves it completely!" she announced quite loudly. I sized up her hindquarters, noting her slender flanks. I raised my left hand and gave her a firm smack, though my fingertips brushed her left cutie mark. "Aaahh! More! More! MORE!" she gasped as her moans became louder and longer with my repeated slaps to her hindquarters.

How freaky is this Alicorn?

I began using both hands to smack her ass, alternating left and right and increasing the speed slightly. This caused her body to tense up, her wings at the full span as stiff as her body as her climax continued to build. I noticed her moaning had aroused me to full erection and asked her if she wanted me to rut her.

"Thou art hard as rock, are thou not? Thou may rut us like the naughty filly we are!" she commanded loudly. I responded by smacking her ass a few more times, causing her to whinny. I hugged her from behind, my lower abdomen squarely against her plot, noting that it was nearly ideally sized to suit me.

"Oooh, Luna, you seem to be the perfect size for me," I mused as I slowly inserted my rock hard glans into her sopping wet pussy. I hilted easily and began thrusting back and forth slowly to gauge her reaction.

"Oooooooh, Michael! Thou pleasest Us greatly!" she moaned, gasping between the last few words.

"Mmmh, how sensitive are you, Luna?" I asked, finding the ease with which I was able to please her somewhat unnerving.

If she's this sensitive, she may develop an addiction to me -- I've already complimented her on being the perfect size for me...

"Oooooooooh, yessssss!" she cooed as I continued my slow thrusting, drawing out my pleasure -- but this seemed to be the perfect pace for the Night Princess, who reveled in the sensation I was giving her. "Mmmmmh! Ooooooh! Yes!" she huffed as her body began to tense up with the anticipation of a slow long climax. Her low breathy moans were an aural aphrodisiac to me, causing me to clench my buttocks more tightly as I began speeding up the pace of my thrusting.

Her moans became a little more high pitched as I quickened my pace, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she uttered just a single word over and over again, very breathily, but also very erotic, urging me to go faster still. The squelching noise of my rock hard member sliding effortlessly in and out of her dripping wet pussy added to the effect as I pounded into her with as much force as I dared, though not so fast as to spend all my stamina. My effort was rewarded with a long breathy moan of pleasure, though my stamina ran out before I could reach climax. I grunted with my exertion, trying to help her along until I pushed her over the edge.

"OOOOOHHHH! MICHAEL! YESSSSS!" she hissed as she surrendered herself to her passion, her body quivering as the wave of pleasure washed over her. She smiled warmly at me as I laid on her back, my lower abdomen mashed against her hindquarters, my shaft as deeply into her pussy as it could go. "Mmmh, Michael, didst thou not receive as much pleasure as We did?" she asked softly, giving me a somewhat quizzical look.

"Princess Luna, it was an honor to provide you pleasure -- I have already received more today than I have at any time during the last twenty years," I replied as I gently ran a hand up and down her neck, eliciting another light moan from the indigo Alicorn. It took me a few moments longer to catch my breath. The warmth of her body against my belly and lap felt very nice, though my now flaccid dick flopped out of her sloppy wet pussy. A final squelching sound announced its departure from her love tunnel.

"You have done well, Michael," the Solar Princess addressed me warmly, a serene smile on her face, though just a hint of a blush could be seen on her cheeks. I had completely forgotten that she had been watching us the entire time and was rather surprised she had decided to stay. "I shall return you to your previous form and to the dining hall once again -- I apologize for causing you such discomfort and I will try to remember not to teleport you after you have eaten. Fresh food will be brought to you once again."

"Tia, We desire that Michael be allowed to remain with Us," Luna requested.

"Luna, did he not provide you with a happy ending? He has performed his duties admirably -- and I believe he needs some rest along with being given another opportunity to eat, considering the fact that he suffered such discomfort by our hasty decision to teleport him. I believe his digestive system is not strong enough to withstand teleportation." I nodded my head in agreement with the Solar Princess as she trotted over to me and wrapped a wing around me.

"Tia, we desire another round of pleasure at the earliest convenience," the indigo alicorn practically begged.

"Tomorrow, maybe," I offered softly, grinning. "I've had all I can take for today and I thank you both for your kindness."

"Michael, I believe you have some other duties to attend to as Amethyst Shadow," Celestia stated flatly as she transformed me back into a dark purple unicorn mare, then teleported me back to the dining hall. Right Face was still waiting for me and smiled once he saw me return in the company of the Solar Princess. He trotted over to me at this point.

"Amethyst, how did this teleport affect you?" asked Celestia.

"My stomach feels a little queasy, but nowhere near as badly as the previous teleport. I think if I experience it a few more times, I'll be able to withstand it more easily," I replied. She nodded her head in acknowledgement, though the teal stallion had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Amethyst, there is a specific reason I assigned you Right Face as your chaperon -- are you curious to know why?"

"Yes, but there's another issue, your Majesty," I replied. "Your nephew Blueblood seems to find me rather attractive -- perhaps a little too attractive."

"My nephew finds nearly all the mares around here particularly attractive, Amethyst!" she chuckled. "I will have eyes on him to prevent him from getting any ideas about you," she added with a more serious tone.

"Why not let him find out the hard way?" I asked, flashing a menacing grin. "Might teach him a lesson or two..."

"What do you mean by that, Lady Amethyst?" asked my chaperon.

"This does not concern you, Right Face," the alicorn rebuked, glaring at him sternly. "Excellent idea, Amethyst," she addressed me, flashing a mischievous grin. "I could use a few laughs."

"Begging your pardon, your Majesty, if I may obtain a little more food?" I asked.

"But of course, Amethyst. Please be seated, I will have a server bring you something."

I returned to the table and was brought a platter with three hay pancakes on it. I stared at the food for a moment, causing the other ponies still seated to titter at my reaction. Gingerly, I levitated a knife and fork to my plate and began cutting the cakes into bite-sized pieces, then covered them with a thin layer of syrup.

I hope pony taste buds have different receptors than human ones...

I shaped my aura into a hand and grabbed the fork using it, stabbing a chunk of squares and lifting it to my mouth. I hesitated before opening my mouth to accept the unusual foodstuff, eliciting laughter from the other ponies. The Solar Princess glared sternly at them, causing them to quiet immediately. I took the fork into my mouth, allowing the chunk of food to sit on my tongue, then began chewing. As a pony, the taste of hay mixed with the sugary batter of the pancakes, coupled with the syrup allowed the flavors to mesh quite wonderfully. I chewed, savoring the taste, then finished the rest of the food with gusto.

"Wow, I had no idea they tasted that good!" I exclaimed, eliciting more laughter from the other ponies.

"This is her first time eating hay pancakes," Celestia stated firmly. More laughter and hushed whispers ensued. "Must I remind you of what she looked like before we left?" she asked more sternly, glaring at the others. Silence. "Thank you."

"May I have a few more, your Majesty?" I asked. I hadn't noticed, but as a pony, I hadn't been very careful about eating.

"You may have more if you clean yourself -- has no one taught you proper table manners?" she asked, giving me a look of disapproval. I looked at myself and at my place at the table and frowned.

"My apologies, your Majesty. I shall clean it up as best I can," I replied softly. I looked for a napkin and used my telekinesis to wipe my face and the area around where I was sitting, cleaning it up adequately well in my opinion. The Alicorn smiled at me and summoned the server to bring me three more hay pancakes, which disappeared even more swiftly than the first serving. I washed them down with orange juice, noting the flavor of the juice to be substantially sweeter than I remembered as a human.

"If you're done eating, I believe Right Face may now continue with his duties as your escort," she stated flatly, trotting away from me. I watched her as she left the dining hall -- I assumed she had decided to return to her duties, though the teal stallion informed me that this was the case.

"Lady Amethyst, please follow me. I shall show you to your quarters and to your new duty station. Her Highness informed me that you once held a position as a librarian -- we have need for somepony with your skills to assist the current librarian. Your quarters will be in the same wing as the library," he said, offering me a smile which I returned.

"Thank you, Right Face," I responded as I trotted behind him.
