Let Sleeper Dogs Lie

Let Sleeper Dogs Lie

Twilight Sparkle finally returned home to the new Ponyville.  While her "official wedding" to Big Macintosh and Jifar was planned at last, she knew they were going to wait a few months for all the invitations to be delivered to the Apples and other invitees scattered across the land of Equestria,  She was fairly stunned at all of the changes that happened while she was gone.  With all of the bright crystal reinforcements, it looked like a suburb of the Crystal Empire now.

First she came by the Ponyville School.  It was larger than ever.  There was now separate buildings for kindergarten, junior high and high school plus yet another building for all sports related things (the gym, swimming pool and tennis courts) and its own library building.  She wondered if they would have to bring in more teachers from places like Canterlot and Manehatten.

Looking towards town, she could see the upper limbs of the Golden Oak Library even from that distance.  She figured it was going to be a sight to see.

She walked by the crystal tower that marked the location of where the Carousel Boutique used to be.  There was a red crystal heart at the top, and she could see faint green runes if she squinted at the crystal close up.  But the thing that bothered her most was she could swear that someplace above the top of the building, there was some winged figure reaching towards the sky above.  She could also sense that the crystal went deep into the ground beneath to the bedrock itself.

Travelling on, she came to the Sugarcube Corner.  She noticed a new sign in the window that read:

NOW FEATURING PINKIE PIE'S ROCK CANDY

AND CRYSTAL CUPCAKES!!

If she wasn't in a hurry to get "home", she might have stopped by to try some.  Mrs. Cake waved to her from inside the shop as she passed the display window, so she smiled and waved back.

She went to the bridge that crossed the stream through town, and noticed a new stallion there just north.  He was a skinny unicorn stallion with a little stand, but the interesting part was the half a dozen or so swan paddle boats that were tethered to the shore nearby.  Each one was large enough to take two (or three) adult sized ponies for a leisurely ride along the stream.  She waved at him when he smiled and waved at her.

Then she went through the Town Square as she noticed the Town Hall was about 50% larger (and 20% cooler).  It looked like at least a couple hundred ponies could now come in and be reasonably comfortable during a town meeting, but still larger groups would still have to gather around the stage set on the side of the building.

At last, the last building was cleared so that she got a few view of the Library.  It was massive.  It was huge.  She had no idea what all the new rooms and balconies could possibly be used for.  But looking it over, she deduced it was divided into three sections: The main trunk, an eastern branch, and a western branch.  The main trunk was the most logical place to house the main levels of the Library proper, and the eastern branch seemed to be set up as private apartments by the number of balconies and ledges she saw.  She would just have to ask about the western branch.

As she came to the front door, she seemed a bit surprised that it flew open to have Spike and Bakabaka rushing out to meet her.  He was dressed as an impeccable butler, and she as a stunningly beautiful maid.  While they were both wearing fine black silk in the clothes, hers was much more lacey while his was definitely along the lines of a tuxedo, pants and open toed black leather shoes.

"TWILLIE!" called Spike as he embraced her tightly.  She realized that she had never felt his scales so hard or his muscles so strong.  He was also mashing her breasts in his enthusiasm, and making it just a little hard for her to breath.

"Oh Princess Goddess of Magic Twilight that I adore," said Bakabaka said to the two of them, "Spike loosen your grip that she may breath more."

Spike blinked before he let her go.  It seemed he wasn't still quite used to having the strength of an Ancient Wyrm.

So he took her hand and said, "Come on!  I gotta show you around the place!"  He turned to the maid and said, "Please watch the door until I return, kay?"

"For Master Spike's every request and demand," she replied, "I shall always do as he should command."

He took her past the first set of double doors as she looked ahead to the second, and then looked at the walls as she passed by.  There was a oil painting of herself in her regal best coronation gown, but couldn't remember ever posing for.  Next to that was an oil painting of Sombrarity, Queen of Ponyville of similar elegance.  Across the way was similar paintings, once of Princess Celestia and another of Princess Luna.  She realized that somehow, all of the Princesses seemed to be staring out of their own paintings towards the painting of the Queen as if it were all somehow planned that way.

Before she could say anything, Spike had already swept her past the second set of doors and onto the main floor of the Library, and the size of that floor alone seemed to rival that of the main library in Canterlot itself.  Even a rough estimate on her part told her that the place had the capacity to hold twenty times as many books and scrolls as the old Library, even though most of the shelves were empty.  There was even half a dozen ladders placed around so that one could climb from one level to the next.

She wondered how safe the arrangement was when she saw Derpy fall of a ladder, and before she could even blink, her body glowed softly as she floated down a dozen feet or so to the floor below.  "I just don't know what went wrong," she sighed as she sat on the floor at the bottom.

"Just think how amazing this place will look when we stock up the shelves with books and scrolls from all over Equestria!" he gushed, "Even Princess Celestia has promised that she will do her best to help with our collection!"  Taking her by the hand to the passage downwards, he said, "There's four basement levels below here, and they're huge.  They may well undercut every building around us, but they're still deeper than anypony's basement.  We should be able to store the entire contents of the Library down here and still have room left over.  There's a vault for the most precious... and dangerous things.  We got rooms for doing restoration and preservation projects.  IT'S AWESOME!"

She glanced at the heavy door to the western wing, and there was a sign on it that read:

PRIVATE: DO NOT ENTER!

BY DECREE OF QUEEN SOMBRARITY

He leaned closer to her as he said, "That's Queen Sombrarity's private wing.  The place where she has her new gallery and conducts her *cough* private business... if you know what I'm sayin over here *wink*"

She nodded awkwardly.

"It's also where her bedchambers, her private kitchen, her pantry, bathrooms, closets and all that other mare junk is kept."  He leaned closer and added, "I'd swear she has enough shoes now for a hundred mares."

"I heard that, Spikey-wikey!" said a voice from beyond the door.  The door burst open as she found herself in a tight embrace from her friend.  Her face was buried in the cleft of her bosom that even seemed to exceed Celestia and Jifar by a few degrees.  With her tight embrace, she found both her arms and wings pinned tightly.

"Mmmpphh!" Twilight protested, "MMMPPPHHH!!"  She wondered if she was cursed to be dragged face first into every massive set of boobs in Equestria.

"Sorry dahling," she purred as she relaxed her grip, "I was just so... overjoyed to see you again!"

"With magical sight do I see," she replied, "that you are the same Miss Rarity?"  In spite of the curved horn and the King Sombra eyes, she somehow sensed it was the same Miss Rarity that was underneath it all.

"Oh, it's a rather long and involved story involving black magic and my own arrogance," she replied, "I'll have to tell you about it sometime."  Glancing down on her tits, she said, "Even these are a curse from Nightmare Rarity, and I have yet to figure out how to have it removed yet.  Suffice it to say they get larger each time I climax, and that makes it... awkward."

"I shall see what I can do," she replied, "about removing that curse for you."

Sombrarity smiled and nodded.  Leaning down to sniff her neck, she added, "You definitely need to take a bath with me later, dahling.  You smell positively... like laborer...  Not that there's anything... seriously... wrong with that."  Twilight found herself blushing when she leaned in to nibble at her neck softly, "and we definitely could use a little more time together for... a bonding experience, should we say?"  Her wings twitched as they threatened to snap out into a wingboner in spite of the hug from Sombrarity.

"Come on," said Spike excitedly, "We gotta see the east branch!"  He grabbed her hand and dragged her out of his Mistress' grip.  "You have your new bedroom, a new study, a new lab and everything!"

"I'll be expecting you for a bath at 5," she said, "and then we'll have dinner around 7."  She leaned in to kiss Twilight on the lips before she said, "Don't be late."  Her eyes flashed green.  "Seriously my dear, don't be late."  The flash and the tone made Twilight swallow hard.

Then Sombrarity turned and vanished back through the door as her red cloak flowed behind her.  It closed by magic with a little more force than perhaps was intended, which made ponies jump in the library around them.

...

Meanwhile, down in the dungeon...

...

"Aw come on," moaned Gilda, "My grandma got out of ropes faster than you!  I should know!  We tied her up often enough!"

Dashie and Fluttershy blinked.  They looked at Gilda's expression and her new black rubber suit that covered her from her neck to her paws without covering her breasts or her loins.  It was accented by the black leather mask over her eyes.  Yet her arms, wings, and tail were all uncovered.  Her new look had given the Pegasus and the Pegasus-dog wingboners for some time.  But she was more focused on the gymnastic hurdles and their guests that were tied over them naked.

She stalked over to Sweetie Belle, and stroked her chin as she said, "I mean, if I was seriously keeping you as my sex prisoners, you would NEVER escape."  Like the others, she was tied with her arms on one side, her legs on the other, and her muzzle tied rather tightly shut.  There was just enough padding under her stomach to keep her from getting a cramp or tossing her cookies, but still it left her developing bosom hanging beneath her.

"Well," said Fluttershy as she self-consciously hugged and covered her motherly breasts with her arms, "We didn't exactly give them much in the way of instructions before..."  She was rather bare herself, and was standing with her legs together so that they couldn't really see clearly though them.

"We're testing them to see what potential they have!" she replied.

"They did ask us to help with their cutie marks," said Dash as she rubbed the mane of Apple Bloom, who had her cutie mark already for helping others get their cutie marks.  Dash on the other hand seemed much more at ease with her nudity and her new half-canine body.  Many thought her exotic four pairs of breasts were a bit of a turn on for them, even if they didn't tell her so in so many words.

Gilda walked over to Scootaloo as she said, "Now just look at how hard she's trying."  She rubbed her wings and her back even as she furiously pulled with her arms and legs.  Leaning close to her ear, she added, "Of course, I think we all know just who she's trying to impress here, don't we?"  That made Scootaloo blush as she looked over at Dash.  "But ya gotta struggle smarter instead of harder.  You're gonna have bad rope burns and pulled muscles all over the place that's gonna have to be magically healed up later.  Am I right over here?"

Dash and Flutters nodded.

"Now before we take a break," purred Gilda, "I think somepony's ready for a little reward."

She dragged Dash behind Scoots and all but shoved her nose under the struggling mare's tail.  Dash sniffed her mareslit before she started giving it long licks with her broad tongue.  Each lick made Scoots squirm.

"I don't see any new cutie marks coming from this," sighed Fluttershy softly.

"Ya never know til ya try," said Gilda with a grin, "But in the meantime, why don't ya untie Sweetie Belle and giver her muscles a rubdown?  Use plenty of that mineral oil.  I'm sure she needs it.  I'll take care of little Apple Bloom over here myself."  Apple Bloom gave her such a stare that for a second, she might have thought she was Fluttershy.
