Waking Up With Twilight

Chapter 4 -- Things That Go Bump in the Night

Dinner was an unusual affair -- Princess Celestia was waiting at her end of the table and beckoned me over to her side, offering a sincere smile. She caught scent of my pheromones, causing her smile to widen a little more.

"Ah, Amethyst! I was hoping you'd be joining us -- there is a competition of sorts taking place tonight, and you will be helping us judge the dishes being prepared. We have four chefs competing for ten thousand bits -- each one will be preparing an assortment of dishes, though as each course is brought to us, we will be sending one of the chefs back to his home, until there is just one left. He or she will be declared the winner and be given the purse."

What is this, Iron Chef Equestria? My curiosity has been piqued...

"I've seen those competitions take place in my home world, your Majesty -- I had always wanted to be one of the judges to sample those dishes -- they always appeared to be very intriguing or very appetizing when I saw them -- I'd often find my mouth watering at the sight of them! Thank you for the opportunity, Princess," I stated reverently before taking a chair next to the Alicorn. "Your Majesty, I have another question -- I know you just transformed me into a mare, but was it strictly necessary for you to put me at the beginning of my estrus?"

The Alicorn's smile widened further, indicating great mischief. "Amethyst, I merely provided you with your desire -- however, there are other reasons for my actions. I cannot tell you precisely why, but --"

There's always a catch, isn't there, Celestia?

I was unable to control my exasperation at her explanation. "Why must everything be a test with you, Princess? The only reason I can think of as to why you have forced me to experience estrus was to see how well I could adjust to those hormonal changes -- it's already starting to affect the way I think. I can feel the warmth rising within me and there's an itching of sorts that demands certain attention," I grumbled, eliciting a light chuckle from her.

"If it is your desire to be returned to your previous form, I would be happy to oblige you," she responded mirthfully.

"Your Majesty, I haven't even been in this body for a single day! I remember requesting a trial period of sorts for being a pony, but -- I would have appreciated it if you would have allowed me more time before forcing estrus upon me. Even so, I'm not ready to give up on this experience just yet."

I'm actualy enjoying myself here -- I don't wanna go home just yet!

"Of course I'm testing you, Michael. I am curious to judge your perseverance and determine your adaptability in the face of adversity." Her statement caused me to frown for a moment before I regained a little composure. "Of course, I am willing to change you back into a human any time you wish."

I hate it when she calls me that while I'm in my pony form.

"Let me guess -- that request would result in a permanent reverse transformation, one which only you would be able to undo -- and should I request that action before a certain amount of time elapses -- in this case, I believe it might be during my estrus -- then I would never be able to experience being a pony again." Celestia nodded her head, her smile returning to its normal size.

Great -- just what I needed -- ever the consummate teacher, aren't you, Celestia?

It was at this point the first dish was brought to us. It was the first of four appetizers and the chefs who had prepared them stood to the left of the table. I was able to see two unicorns, a pegasus, and an earth pony who wore looks of expectation and concern. They had been asked to create a dish using dandelion greens, egg whites, pine nuts, and hay. A small serving had been prepared for the four of us at the table, Celestia at the head, me to the left, Luna to the right, and Prince Blueblood to my left. I looked down at the plate before me, seeing a dark green mass with yellow bits sticking out of it and a brown sauce drizzled over it haphazardly. It was the earth pony who had prepared this appetizer, and just by looking at it I could tell he was going to be the first one sent home. Blueblood turned his nose up at the dish, refusing to even take a bite of it. Luna smiled weakly and gingerly took a single bite. Celestia took a large bite and continued to eat until it was gone while I simply stared at it.

"Well, Luna? How does it taste?" I asked, grinning sheepishly. I took a fork and stabbed at the dish, grabbing a chunk of the food and put it to my mouth. As I chewed on it, I noticed the flavors meshing together rather nicely, the pine nuts giving it some texture. I took another bite and savored it, noting the way the dandelion mixed with the hay was accentuated by the sugary brown sauce.

"This dish doth not meet with Our approval," Luna complained, frowning. Blueblood snorted in contempt.

"I think it tastes pretty good," I noted. "The flavors mix well and I can taste all four ingredients required. The sugary sauce seems to accentuate the flavors nicely."

Is it me or is it the hormones talking? This does actually taste pretty good...

"You have done well, my little pony," the Solar Princess smiled. "I would have liked a little more pine nut added to it, though."

The second dish was brought to us, this time it was a pale green unicorn mare who had prepared an appetizer using the same four ingredients, but hers features a totally different style. This one was mostly white, a little yellow with green garnish. It looked very dainty on the plate, as though very little of each ingredient had been used -- there didn't appear to be any extra ingredients used in the preparation of the dish. Upon taking a bite, I was pleasantly surprised by a wicked spiciness.

"Whoa, where did that spiciness come from?" I asked, a look of surprise on my face.

Maybe a little too spicy -- good, though...

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" asked Celestia.

"I have always liked spicy foods, and this is quite good," I replied cheerfully. "Um, Prince, aren't you supposed to be judging the food as well?" I asked, noticing his look of utter disdain for the food placed before him.

I used to act like that when I was a child -- this "Prince" is a full-grown stallion for crying out loud!

"My nephew has always been a picky eater, Amethyst. He will eat only when something strikes his fancy," Celestia noted, a wry smile on her face.

"Or when he's had too much to drink," Luna added playfully, grinning at the stallion who sputtered in protest at her comment.

"Ah, Prince Blueblood! I didn't know you liked to partake of alcohol," I grinned. He blushed at my comment, grinning sheepishly at me.

"I can assure you, my Lady, that I enjoy a good drink in moderation every once in awhile," he stated confidently.

"That's not true, nephew," Celestia deadpanned before breaking out into full laughter when the stallion started protesting more vehemently. He then gave his Auntie a dirty look, causing her to glare sternly at him. He shrank back in his chair in response to her glare.

"I suppose he likes to drink himself sick quite often," I mused aloud, causing both Alicorns to chuckle loudly.

"You don't know the half of it, Amethyst," Celestia replied as she tried to control her chuckling.

Figured as much...

"Stop embarrassing me, Auntie Tia!" the stallion retorted, his pitch having increased nearly an octave.

"Getting drunk and trying to entice all the mares in my Castle to your room is all you ever do around here, nephew," she responded, her tone lowering a bit. "I will not have you trying to woo Amethyst here -- she has a few secrets which will open your eyes."

You're not my type anyway, Blue -- find somepony else! Last thing I want is to mess around with a drunkard!

"She has already told me, Auntie! She's not even a real pony!" he nearly shouted, causing me to glare daggers at him and huff angrily.

Better watch your temper -- now is not the proper time or place for a confrontation with this fool...

"Blueblood, thou must stay thy tongue if thou wishes to have more food brought to you," Luna admonished sharply.

"Speaking of which, it looks like the third chef's dish is being presented to us," I offered as a distraction. The pegasus' dish was a real mess -- I had thought the earth pony's dish was unattractive, but this one looked like it had spent too much time getting burnt. "Um, is it supposed to look like this? I know presentation is about a third of the score, but -- I don't even want to hazard a taste of this dish."

"As a judge, you must at least take a bite of each dish, Amethyst," Celestia admonished tersely, fixing me firmly with her gaze.

"And your nephew? Is he not required to taste each dish as well?" I asked. I took a bite of this one and was surprised to find that the burnt food actually worked. "Not bad, not bad. Could use a little black pepper and a hint of garlic to improve the flavor even more."

What the fuck am I saying? This shit tastes awful!

"My nephew is exempt from that requirement, Amethyst," the Solar Princess replied through a mouthful of her food. Luna dabbed at the dish lightly and took a very small bite before spitting it back out on her plate.

It's not fair to hold me to a certain standard if you're not going to hold your nephew to that same standard...

"Verily, Amethyst, We doth not understand how thou can stomach this food."

Me too, Luna -- me too!

"All these dishes represent new ideas in cuisine, your Majesty -- and even if they don't appear to be very appetizing, I am always curious to see and experience new things," I said, trying to hide my prevarication.

"Thou hast entered the estrus, hast thou not?"

No, really? How could you tell?

I hung my head, my ears drooping. "Yes, Princess Luna -- I'm not too happy about that, but sometimes things happen."

"We overheard thy conversation with Our sister, Amethyst -- thou must find courage within thyself if thou wishes to find favor with Us."

So you're taking her side as well, huh? Niiiice.

The fourth dish was brought, the off-white unicorn mare being the last pony whose dish I sampled. I found the flavors to be most disagreeable, as did Celestia. Luna seemed to enjoy it and Blueblood took a nibble or two. After conferring, we decided the pegasus had failed this challenge and would be departing the castle in short order.

The rest of the evening found us sampling other dishes which were even more exotic than the first ones and ultimately it was the pale green unicorn mare who won the competition. I found a fair number of the remaining dishes to my liking, though my hormones may have been making me hungrier than usual. I thanked the Princesses for their hospitality, as the evening had gotten quite late and all the food had made me rather sleepy. I requested my leave from the table and called on Right Face to escort me back to my quarters.

"I was wondering why you weren't given an opportunity to sample the food," I mused as we trotted down a staircase.

"I am merely your escort, my Lady -- they must like you quite a lot if they offer you such an opportunity. I must admit some of those dishes looked delicious."

"Some of them were -- that earth pony knew how to mix flavors quite well, but needs work on his presentation," I noted.

"You seem to have a great deal of knowledge, my Lady," he said, smiling warmly at me.

"It comes through experience, Right Face. I have learned a great many things over my fifty years," I replied with a wry grin.

"Surely you are not that old, my Lady!" he exclaimed in astonishment.

"Well, you remember what happened earlier in the day, don't you? Must I keep reminding you?"

"Sorry, my Lady -- it's just that -- your beauty entrances me such that I keep forgetting you are more than you appear."

That, or maybe you just want to fuck me again...

"I appreciate the compliment, Right Face -- it looks like we've reached my quarters. I would offer you to stay the night, but you have a curfew, don't you?"

"How would you know about that, my Lady?" he appeared crestfallen when I mentioned that, the tone of his question dripping with disappointment.

I gave a soft chuckle and said, "I have a little military history myself, and know full well any soldier has a curfew, regardless of their rank." His eyes went wide when he heard this, causing me to chuckle a little louder. "Sorry, my friend, I guess it's good night tonight -- but there's always tomorrow!"

Come to think of it, maybe I should let him break curfew -- he did feel really nice inside me...

"Very well then, Lady Amethyst. I bid you good night, but look forward to escorting you tomorrow." He leaned forward for a kiss, which I gave him, but he tried to force his tongue into my mouth. I had to push him away with my fore-hooves.

"Mmmh, Right Face! Please stop that, I'm not ready for that just yet! Please remember what I told you earlier!"

"I'm sorry, my Lady -- perhaps I got a little carried away," he grinned sheepishly.

I know what you want, but I can't give that to you yet, big guy. Maybe later, though...

"I suppose so, but I understand. It's easy to get too anxious when you have temptation right in front of you. See you tomorrow, Right Face. Good night." I closed the door before he had a chance to do anything else, though I heard him say good night to me before he trotted off to his barracks. I trotted over to my bed and climbed into it, falling asleep rather quickly.

It was while I was asleep that somepony crept into my room. Normally, I'm a pretty light sleeper, but this bed was so comfortable that I had gone into a serious stage four deep slumber, and nothing short of an earthquake would roust me from my sleep at that point. Whomever it was snuggled up to me and curled against my body. I could feel warmth from my right, though with my estrus starting to crank up, my natural heat forced me to move the cover off my body. It was when I felt a hoof run up and down my belly that I woke up and turned to see who it was. I lit my horn and cast an illumination spell to get a better look at my visitor.

"Princess Celestia? What are you doing in my room? Why did you snuggle against me?" I asked, shocked she would do such a thing. She smiled softly at me and lit her horn and transformed herself -- slightly. She made herself a little smaller to match my size, but I was shocked to see her develop a certain body part that stallions normally have. "Umm, is that what I think it is?"

The Alicorn grinned mischievously and nodded her head. "Amethyst, I have wanted to do this for a long time -- and while I wouldn't generally impose on my other little ponies, I know you're new here -- and seeing as you're currently experiencing estrus, I suspect you have a certain itch which needs to be scratched." Her smile widened further as she sized me up, though my eyes were focused on her glans. It seemed to be lengthening as she continued to drink in my beauty.

She leaned forward to me and met my muzzle with hers -- she wrapped a wing around me and drew me into her kiss, my mouth opening in anticipation. She pushed her tongue into my mouth and probed the inside as I tried to copy her moves. Our tongues danced and twirled around each others' as I locked my lips with hers. Her years of experience allowed her to maintain the kiss for a very long time, the two of us breathing sharply through our nostrils as we intensified our passion. I watched her close her eyes as she enveloped me in her wings, running her forelegs up and down the sides of my body, then slid a forehoof down to my nethers, finding my sex to be already wet in eager anticipation of what was to come.

As she explored my body with her hooves, I returned the favor, sliding my right foreleg along her barrel, then stroking her new appendage, feeling it become hard as it lengthened a little bit further. I gasped, or at least I tried to gasp, causing Celestia to grin.

"You want it, don't you, Amethyst?" she offered in the sultriest tone I'd ever heard. I nodded my head dumbly, a stupid grin on my face as I felt my sex start winking rapidly, the wetness seeping down my hind legs. She grinned wider now and pushed me down, climbing on top of me. "I'm going to put it in your mouth, Amethyst! Hope you're ready for it!"

My eyes went wide with fear -- I had never had something that big or that long pushed into my mouth, let alone deep into my throat. Without waiting for a response, she used her magic to guide her fully erect glans into my mouth and pushed hard against the resistance I was putting up. I could feel my gag reflex kicking into overdrive, trying to expel the offending intrusion.

"Relax, Amethyst -- I will ensure you can breathe -- relax your throat! It will stop hurting if you --"

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I tried to accept her very rude offer. I did my best to comply with her demand, trying to relax my throat, but my brain was screaming at me to get the damned thing out. By some seeming miracle, she pulled out of my mouth and gave me a few moments to recover. She noticed my tears and softened her expression towards me.

"My apologies, Amethyst -- I should not have forced myself on you like that --"

"If you would be kind enough to let me go at my own pace, I might be willing to suck on it -- but this -- heat -- is making me -- do funny things," I observed. Celestia gave me a demure smile.

"I understand, Amethyst -- I apologize for trying to rush you," she offered warmly. She rose to her hooves and was about to leave when I pleaded with her to stop. "Yes, my little pony?"

"I'm not ready for you to leave just yet -- please, lay on the bed for me," I requested. I saw her smile widen as she turned around to face me, slowly trotting back to the bed.

"What did you have in mind, Amethyst?" she asked, sporting a very impish grin.

"I want to try something, your Majesty," I began.

"You may drop the formality while we are in this room, Amethyst -- but please tell me, I am curious to see what you want to do," she said as she climbed onto the bed and laid on her back, her wings laying flat.

"That's the ideal position, Celestia," I grinned as I climbed on top of her, positioning my hindquarters over her penis. I maneuvered myself in such a way as to guide it into my pussy, but she had other ideas.

"Ah-ah, you don't get to do that just yet," she giggled. "Turn around and let me taste you!"

I followed her instruction, turning carefully so I wouldn't injure her wings. Her smile widened as she took in the sight and scent of my sex. I heard her giggle a little more as she saw it winking, then gasped as she brought her tongue up to it, licking the dripping wet fleshy folds. I moaned in ecstasy as she nibbled my love button, which had responded to the expertise of the Alicorn's ministrations. Her glans had returned to its full tumescence and began bobbing as her excitement and arousal began to increase -- I was transfixed by the sight and noticed pre-cum beginning to ooze from the tip. I gently cradled it in my forehooves and lowered my mouth to it, doing my best to wrap my lips around it without abrading it with my teeth.

"Mmmmmh! Amethyst!" she cooed as I began bobbing my head up and down, taking just the first few inches or so of it into my mouth. I forced myself to stifle a giggle at her reaction and continued to go further, taking more of it into my throat. The taste was not an unpleasant one, the sensation something I was beginning to enjoy. The fact that the Princess was licking and sucking on my pussy helped me get into the mood even further and I dared myself to try to take the entirety of her glans into my throat.

"Aaaaaah! Keep going! That feels -- uhhhhh!" she moaned as I found myself able to take it all, my lips making it all the way down to her ball sack, the musk seeming to drive me into a state of frenzy. I sped up my movement, amazed at my ability, but driven to go faster by her erotic moans and gasps, her breathing becoming more ragged as her body began to tense up. I pulled all the way back, letting her penis make a popping sound as it came out of my mouth.

"Amethyst! Why must you tease me like that?" she asked between her huffing. I giggled again in response. "You were doing so well, too!"

"Gimme a minute, Celestia," I said softly as I planted a kiss on the tip of her member. I moaned as her breath against the wet lips of my pussy gave me a little shiver, which elicited a giggle from her.

"Come on, Amethyst! I'm waiting!" she moaned, dragging out the vowels as she tried to compel me to continue.

"You must really be enjoying this, eh, Celestia?" I giggled as I lightly stroked her schlong, watching it bob back and forth. A little more pre-cum leaked out of it, so I leaned forward to lick it, sliding my tongue along the rock-hard shaft, causing her to moan very loudly and deeply. "I take that as a yes," I giggled before putting it back into my mouth and very slowly sliding up and down. This must have been driving her crazy, as she slobbered her tongue all over my sex, nibbling a bit harder on my clit, and deeply tonguing my tightly puckered anus. She took a moment to catch her breath, but used the opportunity to say something which she should have saved for a time when her dick wasn't in my mouth.

"Oooohhhh, yessss, I am! I can't wait to fuck you in your tiny little plot hole!" she giggled. My eyes went wide as saucers, the pupils diminishing to pin-pricks when she said that. My gag reflex kicking into high gear, but with her shaft still deep in my throat, I very rapidly pulled back and puked on my bed, a fair amount of it landing on her body. As shocked as I was by her statement, I was mortified by what I had just done.

"I - I - I'm t-terribly s-s-sorry about that, y-your M-m-majesty," I stuttered. I got off her and tried to clean it up, but she also rose to her hooves.

"Amethyst, I am the one who owes you an apology," she said softly as she trotted into my bathroom, turning on the water. I trotted in after her, causing her to smile at me. "I suppose I can wash you off if you'd like," she smiled. "And you can wash me off as well!"

"What about your wings, your Majesty?"

"I will teach you how to preen them, Amethyst!" she giggled. "And you can still drop the formality -- as long as it's just you and me here in your room, I am Celestia to you -- given enough time, perhaps I might even be willing to let you call me by the name my sister uses in very casual settings."

The water had reached the desired temperature as the Alicorn, still in her reduced size, climbed into the tub and beckoned me in as well. The water felt good, easing a little of the discomfort my estrus was causing. The Princess rubbed her hooves into my coat in small circles, the way I had done her earlier when I was still in my human form. I moaned in pleasure at her ministrations, relishing the attention she was giving me.

"Oh, Celestia, you spoil me by doing that," I cooed softly, smiling warmly at her.

"I am just returning the favor you did me earlier, Amethyst -- but I expect you to massage me again in a few days, as a human no less -- and given the way you performed for me, I look forward to the opportunity to experience that level of pleasure again!"

She produced a bottle of shampoo from somewhere and began working it into my coat, mane and tail, lathering me up profusely. Her gentle touch amazed me and practically had me sobbing in joy, tears streaming down my cheeks. Her smile faltered when she witnessed this and a frown of concern made itself evident.

"Amethyst, why do you cry? Does this not feel good?"

"It does, your Majesty, but it's just that -- what you are doing for me brings back memories of happier times in my life. Truthfully, I don't know if I've ever felt happier just now with the way you are touching me than I have in my entire life Forgive me for crying, Celestia, but I have heard that one should never hide tears of happiness."

The Alicorn turned me around to face her, but did so ever so gently. She gazed into my eyes and gave me a very sincere smile. "Amethyst, it is a rare thing for somepony of your character to say such things -- and truly, it impresses me to hear that from you," she intoned softly. Her smile widened as she met my muzzle with hers as she once again drew me into a kiss. This one did not have the same level of passion and frenzy as the first one -- this was a far more gentle kiss, one which seemed to speak of a kindness and generosity I had not known in a very long time. I tried my best to prolong it, as the emotion behind this particular kiss was one of belonging, the sort of kiss that two lovers who share a very deep bond of affection for one another would give.

"Celestia, are you trying to make me fall in love with you? Because ..." I began, but let my words trail off as she raised a hoof to my lips.

"Sshhh," she admonished softly before kissing me again.
