Let Sleeper Dogs Lie

Let Sleeper Dogs Lie

Now that he had his pants back on, he felt more comfortable greeting Fluttershy as she emerged dressed from the bath.

"I don't know," he said as he walked out over to the window and looked out, "It doesn't seem safe to try and make a trip out to Sweet Apple Acres right now."  The black shiny crystals seemed to have multiplied and grown in size since even he last time he had looked outside.  He turned back to her and said, "The way things are out there, it just doesn't look... right."

"I appreciate your concern," she said, "but I think I'll be safe as long as I fly high enough above them."  Then she leaned in to kiss him on the cheek before she added, "but it was really sweet of you to care about me like that."

"Oh," he replied as he turned away, "It's nothing.  I don't want... them... to get their hands on you."

"Yeah," she replied, "Not them."

"Maybe I should..."

"No," she interrupted, "It's fine."  Then she paused herself before adding, "Besides, somepony responsible needs to keep an eye here on all the... guests.  At least until Miss Rarity returns to reclaim her maid... and the others."

"That's a good point," he said, "I suppose it would be best to take off from Twilight's balcony."

In spite of the fact she fully knew where to go, he took her hand and led her there anyways.  They could hear the sounds of pants, moans and gasps as they came upon the entrance to Twilight's room.  Each gasp came just after they could hear the sound of a cupped hand meeting somemare's flesh.

"This is awesome!" said Snails.

"Probably the closest we'll ever get to the real flanks," agreed Snips.

He cautiously peeked around the corner to see that Chryssie was hanging from the ceiling beam still by her wrists as Snips and Snails were spanking her flanks.  Even at a distance, he could see how reddened they were from their repeated strikes.  Tails was standing in front of her as he was using both hands to forcefully grope her boobs.  He could see just enough of her loins to see just how wet and dripping 'Miss Cheerilee's' mareslit was.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were both still naked, tied back to back, and watching the proceedings in utter quiet.  It was something completely abnormal for anyone who had ever met the two of them at least once in their lives.  In fact, the way the two of them looked at Snips and Snails with such adoration was... creepy.

"Sure you don't want me to cover your eyes or something?" he asked as he glanced back at her.

She giggled softly before she replied, "Oh, I'm sure it won't burn my 'virgin eyes' or anything."

So he led her across the room towards the balcony door.

"Oh, doing it outside?" asked Snails.

"No," grumbled Dan, "We're not doing 'IT' outside or anything.  Fluttershy just needs to go someplace to see a stallion about a thing sometime."

"Are you going with?" asked Snips.

"No," he replied, "Somepony has to stay here to keep you foals out of trouble."

"We're in trouble?" asked Snails.

"No," he snapped, "Well, not yet."

She kissed him on the cheek once more before she spread her wings.  "Take care," she said softly as she flapped her wings and took flight.  While she wasn't fast like most Pegasi, he always felt she was a graceful flyer.  She didn't fly very high above the ground either.  He blinked and looked away when her fluttering skirt reminded him that she did not wear panties under it.  The teen unicorn stallion had to wonder just how many unintentional peep shows she had given like that.

"Hey Dan," said Snails as he walked in, "When are you gonna take your turn with one of these mares?"

"Nah," he replied, "It's... forced.  I can't just take pleasure from some government mind control plot.  You guys... just keep things cool, would ya?  I don't need to testify against you in court or anything."

"It's cool," remarked Snips, "but what are you going to do?"

"Oh, I think I'm going to the kitchen to get something to eat."

"We'll join you in a little while," said Snails as he spanked 'Miss Cheerilee' again.

He glanced at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, and grumbled as he walked out, "Not exactly the justice I would have prefered to see.  Make sure you're part of the right rebellion next time."

If either of them heard Dan's mutterings, they choose not to reply to it.  He walked back down the stairs to see Rainbow Dash and the pink fluff in the middle of the main Library floor.  The two of them seemed to be playing tug of way over a broken-off black crystal stalagmite.  It must have been a good two to three feet in length.

"Hey you two," he grumbled as he snatched the crystal away from them, "You have no idea where this thing's been!"

The Pinkfluff softly gasp as Rainbow whimpered.  They acted like Dan had just harshly scolded them.  He held the crystal over his head as his hand shook.

"Don't touch any more of these things!" he shouted, "They could be poisonous!  Or worse!  You're lucky you have me here to... protect you from the impure!  I would do everypony a favor by destroying that which is IMPURE!!"  His eyes glowed red as if they were radiating a faint blood red flame.  "Must destroy the IMPURE!!"

The two watched him stalk off towards the storage room.  Pinkfluff blew a short raspberry and Rainbow nodded.

...

Fluttershy flew towards Sweet Apple Acres as she passed from one street to the next.  She looked around and saw some things that seemed wrong to her.  There was too many columns of smoke rising from the houses all around.  It seemed there was dozens of them, and that didn't seem right at all for the time of year it was.

The ponies milling about didn't look quite right either.  They seemed to lack focus and direction.  It didn't seem like they knew what they wanted to do.

"FLUTTERSHY!!" called a familiar voice.

She looked up the street to see Pinkie jumping up and down while waving to catch her attention.  She was standing just outside the entrance to the Sugarcube Corner.  There was a pile of broken black crystals laying outside the door.  She seemed somewhat panicked as Fluttershy landed and walked over.

"Is something wrong?" asked the shy pegasus.

"Is there?!" she replied, "First, there was these strange black crystals sprouting up in the shop!  Then the Cakes and I took them outside!  But by the time we were almost done, they started acting strange!  He said the cakes were worthless!  She said the shop was impure!  They were acting like zombieponies or something!  They went to the kitchen and turned the gas on!  I could smell the gas building up, so I opened the windows!  Then I had to jump Mister Cake while he was trying to get matches!  Then I had to stop Mrs Cake from getting a road flare from the closet!  They seemed so bent on burning down the shop that I just had to tied them up and shove them into their own bedroom!  I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG!!  Me and the foals seem just FINE!!"

"Calm down, Pinkie," she replied, "There must be a reasonable..."

An Earth pony stallion came screaming at them up the street waving a pitchfork as he called, "DESTROY THE IMPURE!!"

"Oh my..."

"Has everypony lost their minds?!" screamed Pinkie.
