Tea Party

Rainbow was never one for tea parties.

The cyan pegasus followed Applejack through the streets of Ponyville towards Golden Oak Library. The earth pony farmer had a pair of saddlebags on, and Rainbow hadn't seen her pack it. It was a gorgeous morning, and barely a cloud in the sky as the sun began the first half of it's journey across the sky.

'You'll need your energy for tomorrow.' She had said. Just what did she have planned afterward? Would they be taking their sweet time here? As far as she knew, Applejack also wasn't one for the cutesy tea party scene either.

But of course, she was forgetting about the pony they were going to meet. Twilight was one for the tea parties and sleepovers with pillow fights, so of course this would be most suited for her. Rainbow wasn't oblivious to the fact that Twilight's knowledge of rather... Taboo subjects helped Applejack along the path of domination a very great deal.

They rounded the final corner, and saw the library down the street. At the very least, she hoped there were some tasty snacks to go along with the tea.

"Lookin' forward to this, Rainbow?"

"If anyone can throw an interesting tea party, it's Twilight." Rainbow replied, half-sarcastically.

Applejack smirked at her marefriend's attitude as they came up to the front doors of the library, and knocked three times. Moments later, Twilight came to the door, no doubt the two of them were on time. Twi was always very punctual.

"Afternoon, you two!" The unicorn greeted, opening the door and stepping back into the library. Rainbow went first, and Applejack followed. Rainbow saw a small table set up, with a steaming teapot, and three teacups and plates, with a center platter of cakes. "Hope you girls are ready for a great tea party."

"Oh, are we ever." Applejack said at the door, as Rainbow passed her.

Rainbow walked completely into the main floor, and heard the door close. What she was not expecting to hear, however, was the deadbolt lock sliding into place. Before she could turn around, she felt Applejack's hooves around her, and felt her collar being fastened around her neck. Her mind started to seize up, as this was something she could have never prepared for.

No way, it couldn't be. She was expecting something afterwards, but now? Here? With Twilight? What was Applejack thinking?

Her heart began to pound against her chest, and she began to blush furiously.

"Wait, what's happening?" Twilight asked, quite surprised at the scene that was beginning to unfold before her.

"Why, the most interesting tea party ever, what do you think?" The farmer responded, with a tone as if the question was absolutely ridiculous.

"A-A-AJ, what are you doing?" Rainbow whispered, her normal egotistical side currently clashing with her inner submissive pet.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Applejack replied, glaring at her.

Rainbow Dash shivered for a moment, the safe word approaching the tip of her tongue.

"M-Mistress... Please..."

"Sit."

Rainbow swallowed the lump in her throat, grateful that it slid past her collar, averted her eyes, and sat down. She snuck a glance at Twilight, who looked just as shocked as she felt.

Applejack put a hoof around her sitting pet, and whispered in her ear.

"I'll be right back. Stay here and be a good girl." Applejack whispered, a hint of comfort in her voice, but still not losing the authority. Rainbow took all the comfort she was able to in that authority, and held the safe word on her tongue as her mistress walked over to Twilight.

"Can I see you in the kitchen, Twi?" Applejack asked, ushering the dumbfounded unicorn towards the kitchen door, finally tearing her eyes off of the quivering pegasus sitting silently in the middle of the room.

The earth pony and unicorn went into the kitchen, and the moment the door closed, Applejack went up to Twi.

"Well, are you ready to see what I've managed to turn her into?"

"Applejack, what's going on? I mean, you're not seriously suggesting that I participate in this, are you?"

"Twilight... Listen. Rainbow and I wouldn't be at this point if it weren't for you. Not only do I want to show you what I've turned Rainbow into with your help, but I also wanted to try and convince you to have a little fun too."

"A 'little fun'? Applejack, I have a pretty good idea of what you two have been doing. She had bruises all over her flanks when she came into town before the changeling attack."

"It's more than that, Twi. Much more, trust me. There's a certain... Charm, in her submissive side, and I'd love to show that to you. I know you haven't had much of a dating life, so I know this is probably a little awkward, but..."

Twilight still looked a bit uncertain as Applejack searched for the right words.

"Listen, sorry about the way I went about that. I just thought it was the best way to show just how quickly she goes submissive. I wouldn't do this if I didn't absolutely trust you. If you really, really don't want to do this, I'll go out there, take her collar off, and we can enjoy some tea. But if you think you can loosen up a bit, we can go out there, and I can show you how thankful I am." Applejack said, digging into her saddlebags, and offered her favorite disciplinary implement, the short leather strap.

Twilight gulped nervously, and stared at the strap she was offering. Applejack kept her hoof with the strap extended, as she awaited the unicorn's answer.
