Abuse of Love

Chapter 1 The Calm before the Storm

Gilda grumbled angrily to herself as she stomped through Ponyville on her way to the train station to head home for the next three weeks. She had just finished up her work shift for the month as a delivery gryphon for Rarity's clothing company. While she had just gotten paid and a nice fat bonus as well she was late getting to the train. If she didn't hurry she was going to miss the last train to Hoofdale. As the gryphon hen quicken her pace to the train station Rarity's words before she left for her emergency delivery play over in her head. “Oh yes Gilda I hope you don't mind but the Girls and I decided that it would be better if we had the monthly Sleepover party at yours and Pinkie's house. This so Pinkie wouldn't have to leave early like she does all the time to catch the train home. I hope this isn't an inconvenience for you, darling.”While it wasn't an inconvenience per se it was a bit upsetting that Rarity had spring that bit of news on Gilda just before an emergency delivery. Well now it was a bit too late to argue about it for Gilda all she could was try and beat the other girls to the house.

Gilda silently hoped that Rarity and the members of the mane six weren’t at the house with Pinkie Pie yet. The gryphon hen had wanted to have some time alone to unwind with fillyfriend before the other showed up for the sleepover party. It wasn't like Gilda hated the other girls as they were her friends too, somewhat. Gilda had a hard time sharing Pinkie's attention with anypony. To be frank she just didn't like to share the attention of the mare she loved deeply. Gilda loved Pinkie Pie to death and after all of the trouble that was caused before she was able to say it out loud to the pink mare it just made Gilda not want to share Pinkie at all. For the first time in a years Gilda finally had someone that love her for her, even when she was being jerk. Which was a lot of the time out of habit and be alone for years. Gilda was getting better at being nice to everyone but at times would slip into old habits.

The gryphon hen and her loving pink mare had been dating for the last five years now. In that time Gilda had forge a some what open bond of friendship with Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight, and renewed her bond of friendship with Dash. Applejack was still a hard sell but at least Gilda was polite to her most of the time. These new and wonderful developments happened after Gilda apologized to Rainbow Dash for her rude behavior months before concerning Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Later she admitted that the real reason she was being mean to Pinkie Pie and the others was that she liked Pinkie but didn't know how to say it. She also didn't want it to get in the way of her relationship with Dash. All of it frustrated the gryphon hen to no end causing her to lash out and be a complete jerk even when she didn't want to be.

Rainbow Dash being the loyal friend that she was to both parties took the time to set the too cool for her own good gryphon up with premiere party pony. Not before several apologizes were given out and several things made right. Since that magical night of Gilda's confession of love, her and Pinkie Pie had been a couple. Gilda loved being with Pinkie as much as possible but she just hated when others were around when they were together. Gilda could be rather affectionate but never wanted anyone to see her being so otherwise it would messing up her cool, aloof sense of style and attitude. It was one of the many things she often fought with Pinkie about. Gilda didn't hate being loving and affectionate, no far from it in fact, she just didn't want to seem weak or for ponies to make fun of her. She had spent too many years of her life being teased, bullied, beaten, and called weak for being different to begin with. Just the memories of those times growing up in the Gryphonian Mountains years before was enough to send Gilda into a violent rage.

It wasn't long before Gilda made it to the station, paid for her ticket, and boarded her train. She was rather happy that the train was leaving from the station within the next five minutes which meant it would only be two hours until she would see her beloved Pinkie Pie again. She took a seat and set down her duffel bag before she removed her black leather jacket to use as a blanket. Gilda was so glad she was on her way home as real wanted to see Pinkie Pie as soon as possible. She was also glad to be back in her own clothes, while her work clothes were comfortable she just couldn't deal with the look of high fashion that they displayed. This month's three week work shift had been rather brutal with all of the new routes that had been added by her boss getting several overseas clothing contracts the month before. Working for Equestria’s premiere Fashionista, Miss Rarity Belle was not as glamorous as most would think even though Gilda was only just one of the delivery gryphons. While working for Rarity had made it possible for her to live happily with Pinkie in a rather lavish house Gilda did hate the fact Rarity was so demanding and very strict about appearances.

Today’s set of delivers had been a nightmare for Gilda as she had to make delivers to Manehatten, Filly Delphia, and Baltimare with each boutique getting forty dresses a piece. Those deliveries had been a cake walk compared to the one she got after she got back just before lunch. One of the assistance had misread an order for one of the last overseas shipment so several important articles of clothing weren't delivered. The fashion show at the new boutique's opening was later that night. Rarity had Gilda do the emergency overseas delivery since she was the fastest of the six gryphons that did all of the long haul and bulk deliveries. Plus she was the top employee in the shipping and receiving department for the last two years running. While there hadn't been many items that needed to go flying all the way to Lionsdale in Zebrica and back again in a few hours had been real a pain in the wings. Gilda ended up getting time in a half for the emergency delivery plus a large bonus but it had almost made her miss the final train home.

Gilda was happy about getting the rather large bonus since she could spend it on making next week the very best for Pinkie Pie. Next week was the happy couple's anniversary and Gilda wasn't going to mess it up this time. This year she was going to be home for it and the surprise she had ordered for Pinkie would be delivered in a few days. All Gilda needed now was time to sneak into Hoofdale and pick up a few special supplies to make the anniversary night completely special for Pinkie. Gilda had even gone through the trouble of making sure all of their friends would make it over in the morning for a special breakfast with the couple but would be gone by lunch time so Gilda could get the house ready for later that night. This year was going to be better than last year's fiasco when she had to work and forgot all about it and ended up making Pinkie cry.

Gilda stared out the window as the train chugged along the tracks toward White Tail Settlement slightly lost in thought. She so hoped that her pink mare of love wouldn't be angry that she was going to be late getting home. She hoped Pinkie wouldn't start a fight with her about her being almost two hours late when she got home. She just didn't have it in her to fight with her fillyfriend tonight. All she wanted to do was go home, have warm bubble bath, get something to eat, and snuggle with Pinkie in front of the fireplace for a little bit. Hopefully she would get to do all of this before the others showed up. If Pinkie started in on her about what time it was and her being late it was going to push Gilda over the edge after her long and horrendous day of work. The only upside was that she had the next three weeks off which meant sleeping in her own bed and waking up to the real Pinkie Pie and not the picture she kept next to her bed at the dorms.

************

The train lazily pulled into the the station at White Tail Settlement coming to a stop with a hiss of steam before there was some momentary active from the porters removing bags of luggage as passengers disembarked. Gilda quickly exited the train rushing passed the Conductor before he could tell her to have a good evening. Gilda just waved the stag off as she needed to get home before Pinkie Pie came to the station looking for her. Gilda took a moment to look around the station to make sure Pinkie wasn't already there waiting for her. When she didn't spot the pink mare Gilda hurried to the the front of the station to get a taxi home. She made it across the station in record time before grabbing one of carriages headed for Hoofdale. From there it was only a twenty minute walk to the house.

The ride to Hoofdale had been a quick one and her cabby had been a less than talkative earth pony. He seemed more than content with getting Gilda to town than anything else, he just said hello asked where she need to go and they were off. Even on the ride to town he only asked how Gilda's day was to which she replied it was horrid and she was glad it was over. After that he nodded yes in an understanding way then remained silent for the rest of the trip. After dropping Gilda off on the far north side of Hoofdale the cabby quoted her the fair to which Gilda promptly paid. He wished her good luck with the rest of her evening before he bid her good night and was off to his next fare. From there Gilda began her brisk walk home as she pondered about her cabby's quiet and aloof demeanor.

Gilda made it back to the cozy three story house on the far north side of Hoofdale in fifteen minutes rather the usual twenty it normally took. She saw that the lights were on and a some soft music was playing. This meant one of two things, first, Pinkie was waiting for her to home with nice home cooked meal or her friends were already there and Gilda was in for a long night of being bothered by several ponies she didn't want to deal with right now. With a long sigh the gryphon hen walked up to the door as she pulled out her keys. She was shocked when the door opened and Pinkie Pie was on her way out with her coat on and purse in tow. The pink mare was wearing a soft pastel yellow dress that went to her knees and a pair of white knee socks with a little bow at the top. She was wearing butter yellow ballet flats with a creamy white inlay.

“Gilda! Oh baby I was on my way to see if you were at the station. I was getting worried about you. I was hoping that Rarity hadn't made you work overtime again.” Pinkie Pie said excitedly as she threw her arms around Gilda and pulled her into a tight hug.

Gilda let her arms winded around the shorter pink mare pulling her closer in a tight embrace. She held her fillyfriend for ten minutes just enjoying the feeling of holding her and inhaling her sweet candy scent. “Well Pinkie I did expect you to be at the station when I arrived but when I didn't see you I hurried home. “Miss Belle” had me make an emergency deliver to Lionsdale in Zebrica so I almost missed the last train. I was expecting the others to be here already when I heard the music playing. I'm glad it just us right now I really needed some time with just two us before the other show up. I missed you so much.” Gilda told Pinkie before she kissed her softly.

Pinkie Pie accepted the kiss and after Gilda pulled back the pink mare smiled happily before stroking Gilda's cheek softly. “I've missed you so much Gilda. I hate laying in our bed alone worried about if your going to come home after your work rotation in Ponyville. I miss you holding me at night to keep the nightmares away.” Pinkie said softly as she trembled a bit.

Gilda noticed that Pinkie Pie was starting to fidget in her grip and her breathing was getting heavy. The gryphon hen knew well when the pink mare got to squirming around like that and talking about nightmares a panic attack was close at hand. Pinkie clung to Gilda tightly keeping her face close to the gryphon's chest as she began to hyperventilate, tears running down her cheeks.

“Gilda I was so scared you're going to leave me and that you think I'm not good enough to stay with. I keep having the nightmare of you leaving me and that I will hurt somepony if I'm alone. I don't want to become a monster... I don't want to go back to the horrible place where they drugged me and hurt me because I was dangerous.” Pinkie cried as tears spilled from her eyes on to Gilda’s chest.

“It alright Pinkie I won't leave you. I'm here now I won't let anything bad happen to you . Remember I Pinkie Promised to always be with you, remember? Calm down it's okay I'm right here. It was just a nightmare and you remember that nightmares can hurt unless you let them.” Gilda told Pinkie in gentle tone as she held her close and rubbed her back.

Gilda held Pinkie gently and let her cry for what seemed like ages, she whispered soft words to calm the hysterical mare in her arms. Gilda knew this might happen as it did often when she was gone for the long work cycle at her job. The gryphon hen had tried to get her schedule adjusted but that would require telling Rarity the full truth about Pinkie's condition. So that was a dead end since no pony was allowed know about Pinkie's condition, save for Nurse Redheart. Plus Gilda needed this job just until the settlement become full fledged city. Once that happened Rarity could set up a shop in Hoofdale and Gilda could transfer to it that way she could be with Pinkie Pie more often. Gilda sighed as she tried again to calm her fillyfriend down and reassure her that everything was alright.

Before Gilda could do anything more to calm Pinkie Pie down she heard the tell-tale sounds of hooves coming down the gravel path to the house, the worst thing possible had just happened. Dash and the others from Ponyville were on the way to the house and Pinkie was about to have a major panic attack. Gilda tried to console Pinkie but it was far too late. The pink mare had heard the hoof steps too. In her flustered and panicked state Pinkie began to gasp for breath as tears streamed down her cheeks. Pinkie shook violently as if she was having a seizure as she press her hands over her ears.

The panic stricken mare fell to her knees seconds later as she chanted the word no over and over again. Gilda knew the screaming was only seconds away. The gryphon hen knew she had to do something and quick but before she could act Applejack was the first of the five ponies to appear. In another few minutes there would more of their Ponyville friends and Pinkie was in no condition to talk with them let along explain what was going on. Gilda had to do something and fast.

“No, no, noooooo! Make it stop Gilda... Don't make me go… I don't want to do that again!” Pinkie screamed as she rocked back and forth still hold her ears.

Gilda ignored the bewildered look on Applejack face as she ran to the house. She head straight upstairs the bedroom. She dropped her bag next to the bed as she searched the dresser for Pinkie's medicine box. Once Gila found it she grabbed the large pill bottle labeled Aripiprazole Topiramate. The worried hen opened the pill bottle only to find it empty. Gilda become irritated on top of panicked by the fact the bottle was empty when there should have been ten pills in it. The fact the pills were missing could only mean one of two things could have happened, Gilda either miscounted the last time she checked it or Pinkie had taken more dose than necessary again. There was no time to waste now The gryphon hen need to find out what happened to those pills and get Pinkie's emotions under control soon.

Gilda ran back outside to Pinkie and grabbed pink mare by the shoulders completely forgetting that Applejack was standing there. Gilda shook Pinkie rough for a few seconds to get her attention. Pinkie looked up at the gryphon with tear filled eyes. Once Gilda had the shaken pink mare full attention she pulled to her hooves a bit too roughly before questioning her about the missing medication. “Pinkie have you taken extra doses of your medicine again? There should still be five days worth of meds in the bottle. Did you hide your meds again? Answer me Pinkie!” Gilda said with firm and loud tone to her voice. To anyone walking in on this scene it would appear as Gilda was being unquestionable cruel to her fillyfriend and that was what Applejack thought.

Pinkie was shocked back to reality by the violent shaking and Gilda's loud commanding voice. She shamefully lowered her head and shook it no with a soft squeak in her voice as she whimpered. She was lying to Gilda again but she couldn't help it she needed her more doses of meds in the last few days. Pinkie almost had a “Pinkamena incident” while shopping in Hoofdale.

She had gotten very close to becoming extremely violent and hurting a young doe that tripped her by accident. Pinkamena had surfaced for a moment and had intended on hurting the doe who was apologizing non-stop for causing the accident. Pinkie managed to suppress the violent personality but only just so before fleeing from town. The whole thing had scared her a great deal since another violent incident meant losing Gilda and going back into the mental hospital. She never wanted to go back to “The Hospital” ever again. Not after what happened the last time, when the fire broke out and she woke that night with minor burns on her hands and legs.

Pinkie had shut herself up in the house and hadn’t returned to Hoofdale since that incident. She knew taking the extra doses of her meds would most likely anger Gilda but she had no choice. If she hadn't taken them Pinkamena might have gotten loose again and gone after the young doe. She had wanted to tell Gilda about what happened but knew that if she did Gilda would have been even angrier than she was now. Pinkie resolved to tell Gilda the truth even if it would hurt Gilda to know about what could of happened.

“I... I took extra doses because She was going to hurt a young doe when I fell in town. I'm s-s-sorry I had too. She was going to kill her, I couldn't let her do that. I don't want... don't want to lose you because of Her.” Pinkie whispered to Gilda hoping her hen wouldn't be super angry with her.

Applejack had been standing there whole time the strange scene had played out, only a minute or so had passed, and Applejack had seen the gryphon she despised a great deal become rather forceful and violent with her friend. Applejack had made it clear that she had a great and growing dislike of Gilda. She had even made it clear that she didn't like that the gryphon was dating Pinkie Pie. Applejack had voiced her disapproval over the decision the couple had made to move out of Ponyville a year ago. All of the others had told Applejack she was being overprotective and a bit tribalist about Pinkie being with Gilda. Applejack told the others she wasn’t being tribalist, just that she didn't trust Gilda. The orange mare even told the others that it was only a matter of time before Gilda would become abusive with Pinkie, like all gryphons do after a while. Now sadly she had been proven right and she wished that she had been wrong, but only just so.

“What in hay are ya doin' ta her?”Applejack yelled before she dropped the duffel bag that held sleeping clothes for her and Rarity then yanked Pinkie out of Gilda's grip. She hugged the frightened and trembling pink mare to her chest gentle as she eyed Gilda rather hard.

Gilda glared back at the orange farm mare as she let out loud growl of warning. Gilda had never really liked Applejack to begin with, the farm mare just rubbed her the wrong way. Not to mention how Applejack could be brutally honest when she didn't really need to be. Gilda knew if she didn't do something quick this situation was going to become a fight. Beating Applejack to a bloody pulp wasn't something Gilda was against but it would hurt Pinkie and that was something Gilda just couldn't do.

“Pinkie come here now! Tell Applejack you're fine so we can go in the house and fix the problem.” Gilda told Pinkie Pie who was beside Applejack still shivering like a scared filly.

“She ain't goin' nowhere just yet. Now answer the blasted question. What in the hay are ya doin' ta her that's got her so dang on scared?” Applejack question again as she eyed Gilda with contempt.

This whole thing was none of the farm pony's business so why was she in the way as usual? The orange dirt mare really need to butt out of other people's business, especial when it could emotionally damage the friend she claimed to care so much about. Gilda knew that if she did do something fast Applejack might find out Pinkie's shameful secrets, something that Gilda couldn't and wouldn't let happen. Pinkie had worked hard to keep her friends from finding out the truth about her tortured past and the fact she could become dangerous if she didn't take her medication. Gilda had found all of this out a year after she moved in with Pinkie. Gilda promised to keep the secret even if it meant being the bad guy in front of their friends. Now was one of those times.

“Applejack... Give Pinkie back to me and get out of here. This has nothing to do with you so just leave before this gets ugly!” Gilda told Applejack through clenched teeth as her eyes flashed with anger.

“Nothin' doin' ya big feathered pussy! Now tell me what's goin' on here. Why in tarnations are ya abusin' Pinkie like this?” Applejack questioned Gilda as she pulled Pinkie closer to her. “Ah knew from the beginning it was a matter of time before this would happen. So tell Gilda what she do that has ya wantin' ta rough her up? She didn't clean right for ya? She not cook ya food right? Or do ya get off on hittin' mares, huh?”

“Apple dweeb you don't understand, not that you have ever tried too. I'm doing this for Pinkie's own good. Now give her back to me before you hurt her or do I have to take her from you?” Gilda asked with anger filling her voice as she bared her talons. How dare the dirt mare even think she would abuse Pinkie. As if she would strike Pinkie Pie for clean something wrong, or not cooking something to her liking. Gilda had grown up in a hell of household like that and vowed to never be like her mother was to her to anyone. Applejack had strike a dangerous and old wound the was still healing. Gilda was fighting to hold back her anger and was barely holding on.

“Well look at ya'll now. Way ta prove that yer not like all other gryphons, sugarcube. Ah'll be damned ta Tartarus before Ah'll let ya'll hurt Pinkie Pie, ever! Pinkie isn't going anywhere with ya ever again.” Applejack yelled at Gilda as she pushed the shivering pink mare behind her.

AJ got ready to fight off the gryphon hen in front of her and hoped the others would get there some time soon. This time they would see Gilda shown her true abusive colors. The others would finally help her get Pinkie away from the no good gryphon for good this time.

“Fine have it your way dweeb. I'm going to knock the lame out of your ass and take my fillyfriend back before you make this any worse than already is.” Gilda told Applejack as got ready to lunge forward to hit the orange mare.

Applejack balled up her fists and was ready to fight it out with Gilda until she hear Pinkie muttering something behind her. “Please don't fight... I need Gilda. She... she keeps the n-nightmares way. Don't fight with her Applejack... please don't fight over me I'm not worth it...” Applejack turn to hear what Pinkie was say forgetting to watch out for Gilda.

In the moment that Applejack let her guard down Gilda acted. With one swift lunge she close the two foot gape between her and the orange mare. Once she was a breaths distance form Applejack she flicked her right wing hard into Applejack’s face blinding the pony for a moment. When Applejack reached up to remove the feathered appendage blocking her vision she felt a fist crash into her side before her left leg was kicked out from under her. The orange mare flailed in pain before crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

Applejack looked up from the patch of dirt she was laying to see Gilda had picked up Pinkie Pie and carry her into the house. The door slammed shut seconds later with the sounds of locks clicking closed right after that. The orange farm mare was furious that she had been blindsided by the gryphon and she had let her take Pinkie into the house. Who knows what was happening in there now.

Where were the other girls at? Rarity couldn't have been search for that blasted earring this whole time? Come on, how long does it take to find and earring with a diamond on it the size of a gold bit? Applejack sat up in the dirt and just huffed at the vanity of her unicorn fillyfriend before getting up to dust herself off. She was really going to have to have a serious talk with Rarity about this frou-frou dressing up for every little outing thing.

AJ was just getting up out of the dirt when the others came walking down the path to the house laughing about Rarity's earring. When they caught sight of AJ dusting herself off Rarity was the first to speak up on the situation.

“Applejack darling, I know earth ponies like being close to the earth, fresh soil, and things but really now, we're not working on the farm but here for our scheduled sleepover this month. Why are you in the dirt like that?” Rarity inquired as she helped dust Applejack off.

“Rarity if'n Ah wasn't already upset with what's goin' on right now with Pinkie Pie, Ah would give ya a good roll in the dirt right now.” Applejack told Rarity before kissing her on the cheek then turned to the others. Rarity just give her a shocked why I never look before blushing at the thought of good roll in the dirt with Applejack in private.

“Ya'll know that whole “Gilda will beat on Pinkie sometime soon thing” ya'll told me was just in mah head, well it just happened and Ah saw her being rough with Pinkie.” Applejack continued with a worked up and angry tone as she pointed to the house.

“Come on Applejack you have to let this whole thing go. Pinkie and Gilda are a great couple and I know Gilda wouldn’t hurt Pinkie Pie. So just stop it alright.” Rainbow Dash told Applejack as she walked away from Twilight's side to stand in front of the farm mare. Rainbow Dash place her hand on the farm mare shoulder before giving her an overconfident smile. “Look you might have walk in on a disagreement between them and you just mistook for a major fight. Gilda can get kind of loud when she's trying to get her point across. Twi and I will go inside smooth things over with Gilda and Pinkie so we can get on with tonight like we planned.” Rainbow Dash told Applejack before taking to the sky.

Twilight stood there for moment as she processed the information that Applejack had just given them. She then shared a concerned look with Rarity who just shrugged her shoulders as if it was just Applejack being paranoid again. Soon after Twilight slung the backpack containing her and Rainbow Dash nighttime things on her back before she took to the sky following right behind RD.

Applejack glared at the rainbow maned mare as she took to the air, AJ was completely furious that Rainbow Dash had once again defended the abusive gryphon. Why was it so hard see that Gilda was all wrong for Pinkie? Why couldn't any of her friends see that Gilda was going to hurt Pinkie Pie sooner or later? If it kept up it would be too late to do anything about it especially if some mares, Rainbow Dash and Twilight mostly, kept defending that no good gryphon. Applejack was getting to the point were she was just going to have to end that messed up relationship whether ponies liked it or not. AJ balled up her fists in anger at the whole thing and was ready to curse up a storm but she felt Rarity squeeze her wrists gently to get her attention. The furious orange mare looked over at her fillyfriend and sighed before pulling her in to a hug.

“Ah know what yer bout ta say, Ah know, Ah know, Ah need ta let it go... but Ah can't. It just ain't right is all. Pinkie Pie deserves somepony better than that there Gilda.” Applejack said as Rarity frowned at her.

“Applejack you must stop worrying over Pinkie Pie all the time. I know you and Pinkie are family and that you don't like Gilda but really darling not all gryphons are as bad as the news makes them out to be. If you keep this up AJ dear everypony is going to think you're a hypocritical tribalist who gets her rocks off by uhmm... fucking a unicorn while saying other ponies should stick to their own tribe.” Rarity told her orange lover with softy understanding tone while she played with some of her blonde mane.

“Ah ain't no tribalist Rares. Ya'll know Ah don't give two hoots about that whole earth pony with earth pony and unicorn with unicorn or alicorn mambo-jumbo from the past. I love you fer you and nothin' will ever change that. Ah'm not tryin' ta be a hypocrite bout this, Ah just don't trust that Gilda. Ah seen what a gryphon can do ta a mare when in a rage. Ah just don't want what happened ta mah cousin Posy Apple ta happen ta Pinkie Pie. Posy's not able ta have foals anymore and the doctors just recently were able to reconstruct her face so she looks like a mare again.” Applejack said with a soft sigh.

“I know that darling, but Gilda has changed since that time several years ago when we first met her. Do you really think I would have hired her if I thought she was untrustworthy or dangerous?In the last five years she been dating Pinkie Pie she has done nothing but try to prove to us and you especially that she has changed. I'm the last pony to say anything on another pony's choice in lovers. I once tried to be with Prince Blueblood on several occasions and we all know how well that worked out. I can't say much on a pony's love choices but, I will say this, Pinkie trusts her so why shouldn't we give Gilda a chance?” Rarity asked Applejack with real concern in her blue eyes.” I'm not trying to side with Gilda or anything like that but....”

“But what Rarity?” Applejack asked a bit curious about what her fillyfriend had to say.

Rarity bit her lip slightly as she looked away before she let out a little sigh. “Well truth be told darling, it was because Gilda that I even found the courage to tell that I had feelings for you.”

“What?”Applejack said a bit surprised by Rarity's revelation. “Ya'll can't be serious about that. Gilda helped ya find the courage ta tell me ya had feelings for me?”

“Well yes, she did. She and I were talking one afternoon at work and the subject of you came up. After I went on and on about how wonderful, hardworking, and strong, you were. Not to mention how absolutely adorable in your stetson hat, Gilda asked me how long had I had romantic feelings for you. I told her I had been conflicted about how I truly felt about for some time. Well that was until that day you told no matter how much I weighed gain I would always be beautiful to you. It was back when I gotten depressed about being mistreated by Blueblood and started any all the time and I had gain twenty pounds. It was then I realized I had fallen in love with you and that you cared deeply for me.” Rarity said as she smiled up at AJ.

“Really now? Well you will always be beautiful to me Rarity and nothin' will ever change that. Ah love ya just the way yer are with all of yer frou-frou style and dressin' up. Don't ever change that.” Applejack said as she rubbed a finger over Rarity's cheek softly.

“I know Applejack and I love you and all of your rough and tumble style. So after I told Gilda that she was surprised but just smiled. Gilda then told me that I should tell you about my feelings and find how you felt about me. I wasn't going to do it at first. I was just to embarrassed by it and afraid you would reject me. I didn't want ruin our friendship if you weren’t in to mares. Gilda simply insisted that I tell you and find out because if I didn't I would always regret would might have been. So after that talk I called you over to my house that evening and I confessed my love for you and well you remember what happened next.” Rarity told Applejack as she blushed about the first time that had been intimate with each other.

Applejack was quiet for a several minutes as she blushed rather hard and thought about all of what her fillyfriend had said. It was so surprising to find out that she had Gilda to thank for having a loving relationship with Rarity. More to the point it was true that Gilda had made major effort in trying to befriend all of the girls. The gryphon hen in question had even volunteered to help on the farm for a full three months when Big Mac was away helping out Posy's family while Posy was hospitalize. Applejack had of course had polite declined the offer immediately but it was the thought that counted here. The memory of Posy's injuries and the hateful things that gryphon had said about Posy when the guards carted her away in chains were still fresh in Applejack's mind. Posy's situation and what had happen several years ago with Gilda had colored Applejack's opinion of all gryphons for the worst. Even with all of that in her head AJ could see Rarity's point. Pinkie Pie did trust Gilda, so did Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Rarity. If her friends trusted Gilda it would be wrong of Applejack to not try.

“Alright, Ah see yer point. Ah'll lay off Gilda and even 'pologize ta her fer mah unpleasant behavior. Ah'll even try not ta nitpick bout her bad behavior.” Applejack told Rarity after a sigh.“Ah'll do this but ya'll have ta promise me that ya'll will be more mindful of the things Gilda does from now on for Pinkie's sake, okay?” AJ asked as she pulled the white mare closer for a kiss.

“If it will make you happy and will have you not causing any more fights I will be a bit more mindful of Gilda and the way she treats Pinkie Pie from now on.” Rarity answered back after the kiss.

“Are you two done fighting or do you still need a minute, if you don't mind me asking?” Fluttershy questioned as she stood off the left of the couple.

Rarity and Applejack both blushed at the fact they had both forgotten that Fluttershy was still standing there. For once both mares wished Discord was there causing trouble he as usually did to everyponies chagrin. She had heard the whole little fight about Gilda and the two mares wondered why the butter yellow mare hadn't said anything on the subject. Both felt it might have to do with the fact Fluttershy was dating the self proclaimed God of Chaos so she was not one to cast dispersions on others relationships easily, not that Fluttershy would do that in any other capacity either.

Discord like Gilda had been making effort to change ponies' opinion of him since the Tirek incident four years ago. He had made great strides in that endeavor, none more extraordinary than his confession of love for Fluttershy. The whole of Ponyville had been taken back by this revelation as Discord confessed publicly and Fluttershy's acceptance of Discord's confession. The butter yellow Pegasus and the chaotic Draconequus had been dating for a little over a year and it had been pleasant for the most part if not a little weird to say the least.

“Sorry Fluttershy dear we didn't mean to forget about you over there. I know that Applejack and I can get carried away with displays of tender and intimate affections at times. I do sincerely apologize for that.” Rarity told Fluttershy as she give a weak smile. “Yeah, sorry bout that Flutters Ah can be right stubborn at times and need mah fillyfriend here to set me right again.” AJ said moments later.

“It's fine girls, I understand how it can be. I often have to tell Discord to calm down and try to understand the other pony's point of view. It's not easy being in a relationship and sometimes these thing just need to happen. Afterward the two of you will be all the better for it.” Fluttershy told both of her friends before they all shared in a laugh.

******************

The winged couple swift flew up to the third floor of the house and land on the deck. Rainbow Dash knew they could get in since Pinkie always left the balcony doors unlocked in case Gilda went flying or forgot her keys.

Rainbow Dash pulled open one of the double glass doors to the warm softly lit room. RD quickly entered the room leaving the door open crack for Twilight to follow in. Rainbow Dash was half way across the room when she realized that Twilight was still outside on the balcony and with a huff the cyan mare went back to the balcony to see what was up with her fillyfriend.

“Hey get the lead out Egghead, we need to get a move on. What's taking you so long?” Dash asked wondering what was stopping Twilight from following her.

“Rainbow Dash as you sure this okay? I mean that's their bedroom and it would rude of us to just walk into their house like this. I know I wouldn't want just anypony coming into our house unannounced especially through our bedroom.” Twilight said as she fidgeted with the edge of her blouse, an embarrassed look on her face.

“Relax Twi it's all good. I come by here all the time plus Gilda has me come check on Pinkie all the time. It'll be fine and if Gilda or Pinkie gets upset about it I'll apologize and promise to never do it again, okay?” Rainbow Dash told Twilight as she stood in front of her.

“Okay, we can do this just this once but you have to get Gilda and Pinkie Pie's permission to keep doing it. If they say that doing this is fine then okay but otherwise it stops after today unless its an emergency.” Twilight told Rainbow Dash firmly to which the cyan mare nodded her head yes to before smiling at her fillyfriend.

After the agreement was struck RD took the lavender mare's hand and led her in the the bedroom. They shut the balcony doors again then the couple quickly crossed the room. It gave Twilight little to no time to look over the room other than where the furniture was placed, not that she was trying to sight-see in any form to begin with. Twilight was a firm believer that one's bedroom was a private place just for them and a select few to see especially after one enters into a relationship. There are far too many intimate things that could be found in somepony's bedroom if explored without their permission. This was the one of the few absolute rules Twilight lived by, under no circumstance was anypony to be in her and Rainbow Dash's bedroom without them being there.

After exiting Pinkie and Gilda's room the two mares ended up in a hall with several doors and a set stairs on the end of the hallway. Rainbow Dash motioned for Twilight to follow her down the stairs, which led to the second floor. Where the four guest bedrooms were, along with Gilda's office, and Pinkie Pie's party planning room. The door to Pinkie's party room was slightly open and the light was on when Twilight passed it, which made her pause. She could see a bunch of pink and red party materials all over the desk and floor, but the thing that caught Twilight's attention was large red heart with several pieces cut out of it spattered in dark red paint. There was a faint metallic smell coming from the room, almost like copper coins left in pan of warm water on a hot day or maybe drying blood. Twilight moved closer to the room to inspect it as she feared that the red substance was in fact blood.

Before Twilight could explore the room further, to find if the paint was really paint as it had looked and smelled faintly like blood, Rainbow Dash pulled her down the hall to the stairs. “Hey what are you doing Twi? We don't have time to go exploring right now.” Rainbow Dash told Twilight as they started down the stairs to the first floor.

“Sorry Dashie but... in that room I thought...” Twilight started but stopped wondering if she should say what she thought she had seen. “What are you talking about Twilight? What did you see or think you saw?” Rainbow Dash asked as she turned around to stare at Twilight.

“It's nothing, I thought... It's nothing just my imagination playing tricks on me.” Twilight said with a strained smile and light fake giggle. Rainbow Dash stared at her fillyfriend with concern on her face trying to figure out what was up with Twilight. “Really Dashie I'm fine. I just thought I saw something strange but I'm just nervous about being in here without permission is all. Heh heh... So yeah I'm fine really.”

“Seriously Twilight you need to calm down and after this over I will clear it with Gilda and Pinkie about them giving me a key to the house. That way we can coming through the front door next time.” Rainbow Dash said in a reassuring tone as she rubbed Twilight's shoulder gently.

“Okay and thank you for being so understanding about this. I know I can be a handful at times with all of my insecurities and eccentricities.” Twilight replied as she rubbed her cheek on the hand that was on her shoulder.

“It's fine Twilight. I know that I'm not always as awesome as I want to be but you put up with me and all of my not so awesome hang ups. So its only fair that I respect and deal with yours. I love you and that means taking the good with the bad. If something I do bothers you I am willing talk about it and fix it. I know you will be the same way. This bothers you so I will get a house key from Gilda and Pinkie so it won't it be a problem in the future.” Rainbow Dash said sweetly before pulling Twilight into a tight hug on the stairs. Twilight smiled and was about to say something back to Rainbow Dash when they heard a loud set of crashes from downstairs, then Pinkie Pie screaming and Gilda yelling moments later. Rainbow Dash let go of Twilight as she point to the stairs. Twilight nodded before she dropped her backpack in the hallway before they both turned and rushed down the stairs to the source of the commotion.

************

Gilda held Pinkie by the wrists and she pulled her on the the couch in the living room. Pinkie was still in the middle of a major fit and was thrashing about heatedly. Gilda prayed that Rainbow Dash would show up sometime soon with the emergency bottle of Pinkie's meds. Until then Gilda would have to just hold on to Pinkie and try to calm her down.

“Pinkie come on you have to hold still. I know that you're upset but you have to stop or I will have to sedate you. Do you want me to get the needle?” Gilda asked the struggling pink mare.

“No, no, no, no! Don't get the needle, I'll be a good filly, please don't get the needle.” Pinkie begged as she began to sob uncontrollably still kicking and struggling to get up.

In her struggles she kicked over the coffee table sending several of the items on top of it to the floor in a loud set of crashes. Gilda yelled at Pinkie to stop struggling before she broke something else. Pinkie screamed that she didn't want to be sedated, that she didn't want to be held down anymore. Gilda threatened to go get the needle and the sedative again if Pinkie didn't hold still. The pink mare stopped thrashing and just sobbed loudly when she saw that the gryphon hen was serious about it.

“Please Gilda don't hurt me again. I don't like it when you use the needle on me. I'll be a good filly, I promise. I'll sit still like a good filly, please just hold me.”

“Okay Pinkie but you have to be still and I will hold you gently.” Gilda told Pinkie Pie as she let got of her wrists and just held Pinkie softly in her arms as they sat on the floor in front of the couch. “I don't like using the needle and the sedative on you but if you don't calm down I will use it for your own good. I don't like having to be rough with you to get you to calm down but I will if you leave me no choice.” Gilda told Pinkie Pie as she caressed her cheek.

Once Gilda had stop holding her so tight Pinkie Pie kept a calm demeanor. She was just happy to lay in her fillyfriend's arms. she was also happy that the needle would not be used on her again, at least for now.

“Gilda...” Pinkie call out softly.

“Yes Pinkie?” Gilda asked while raising an eyebrow.

“I'm sorry about my medication. I didn't mean for this to happen. Please don't be angry with me.” Pinkie said in a small filly like voice.

“I'm not angry with you Pinkie, I'm angry at myself.” Gilda said with a sigh. “I should have made sure you had extra meds just in case something like this happened while I was away at work. You did the right thing and I sorry for yelling at you.”

Gilda forced a smile as she pulled Pinkie closer and nuzzled her softly before giving her a kiss on the forehead. The pink mare giggle at the light kiss then returned it to Gilda but on the lips. Gilda smiled as her stomach fluttered. Pinkie seemed to be calming down and returning to her normal self. Gilda was about to let her fillyfriend up when Pinkie clung to the gryphon hen tightly.

“No not yet I want to stay like this for awhile. Just hold me and love me Gilda. Please Gilda I missed you so much... I just want you to hold me and chase the nightmares away.” Pinkie said softly and she pulled Gilda close for another kiss.

Gilda melted in the kiss from her fillyfriend, the gryphon hen forgot about everything from earlier as the kiss went on. Her bad day, Pinkie's freak out, even the fight with Applejack all seemed to vanish in the wake of the passionate kiss. Gilda slipped out of her leather jacket with Pinkie help without breaking from their kissing. Once the jacket was off Gilda haphazardly tossed it on to the couch before concentrating on making out with Pinkie Pie. As the kiss continued Gilda shifted her weight laying Pinkie on the floor as she caressed the side of the pink mare's face lovingly. Pinkie Pie began to pull at Gilda's clothes trying to remove them as the heat of their kissing grew more intense. Trembling fingers pulled at buttons on Gilda shirt as the couple's legs entwined. Soon kissing turn to groping as the pair lost themselves to the heat of the moment.

The overly excited mare soon grew frustrated with trying to undo the buttons and just tore the shirt open. A shower of plastic buttons could be heard for a few seconds as the buttons spilled across the hardwood floor. After getting the gryphon's shirt open the pink mare began to fondle and grope the cotton covered heavy breasts before her. Seconds after the mare began her sensual assault the gryphon hen's nipples were erect. Slender fingers found their way under the cotton fabric to tug on them lightly.

Gilda broke the kiss and let out a soft keening noise in the back of her throat as Pinkie teased her nipples. The gryphon hen's nipples had always been extremely sensitive to touch. A fact Pinkie Pie knew all too well and she was making good use of this fact to turn Gilda into putty in her hands. Not wanting to lose the advantage she had Pinkie quickly removed Gilda's bra exposing her double D cup breasts to the cool night air. Gilda inhaled sharply as she felt the light fondling of fingers being replaced with soft mare lips.

Gilda's mind was going blank as her body grew hot. She could feel the heat in her pants as her thick shaft began to slip from her sheath. The gryphon hen tried to steady her thoughts to stop Pinkie's advances but the pink mare would not be stopped so easily.

“Pinkie, please... if you k-keep that up... I'm going to... Oh by Black Strikes' talons... don't grab me there!” Gilda cried as Pinkie undid her pants and slipped her hand into the tented fabric gripping her lover's hardening tool. This caused Gilda to roll on the side trying to get away from Pinkie's probing hand but it only severed to give Pinkie access to the prize she sought.

Pinkie just smiled at her lover before kissing her on the tip of her beck. “Why not? I want this candy cane and you seem to want to give it to me.” Pinkie Pie said before shifting her position from Gilda's side until she was face to face with Gilda crotch before pulling the gryphons pants down to her ankles. Seconds later the pink mare was fishing out the thick, hard object of her desire out of Gilda's tented and wet panties.

“But Pinkie as much I want to give it to you I... We can't... your friends are outside waiting and I... oh fuck that feels so good!” Gilda cried out as Pinkie took the tip of the hen's pre covered cock into her mouth and sucked on it lightly as if it were a candy cane. “Okay fuck it but it has to be just a blow j-j-joobbbb.... oh, oh yes suck it more...”

************

Twilight and Rainbow Dash made it to the bottom of the stairs looking around for Pinkie and Gilda. Both mares prayed that the other couple weren't in the middle of a fight since they had heard things crashing and breaking. Twilight motioned that she was heading toward the living room. Rainbow Dash nodded then pointed in the direction of the kitchen. The two mares shared a quick kiss before heading off to look for their friends.

Twilight entered the living room instantly hearing the sounds of soft moans. She grew fearful that Pinkie or possibly, to a lesser degree, Gilda was hurt from the earlier loud sounds. She quickly moved forward into the room searching for the source of the soft moans. The sounds grew louder the closer she got to the couch. There was also the faint slurping sound in the room as well. This extra sound seemed to baffle Twilight but she pushed it aside since one of her friends could possibly be seriously injured.

Twilight spotted the discarded contents of the coffee table and a few buttons on the floor near the corner of the couch. The could just barely see the edge of the over turned coffee table and what looked to be Pinkie Pie's tail and left leg. It appeared that Pinkie was lying on her side and wasn't moving very much. Twilight grew even more fearful that Applejack had been right and Gilda had attacked Pinkie moments earlier. The lavender mare quickly rounded the couch to check on her friend only to be witness to a shocking sight.

On the the floor in front of the couch Twilight got an eye full of Pinkie going down on Gilda. That was a bit of a surprise but rather unnerving thing about the situation for Twilight was the fact the Gilda had a cock that was just above the average size of a stallion's tool. The next thing that shocked Twilight was the fact the Pinkie by was taking most of what looked to be 21 inches of thick gryphon cock in her mouth and throat with ease.

Twilight watched on for what seem like forever as Pinkie deepthroated Gilda and the gryphon hen just sat back with one clawed hand on the back of Pinkie's head. The gryphon had her head laid back moaning out her pleasure while of other clawed hand tugged at an erect nipple. Twilight was frozen in place not knowing if she should say something or just leave before she was noticed. That decision was made for her when Rainbow Dash come rushing into the room.

“Hey Twilight are they in here because their not... HOLY HELL! Gilda and Pinkie, what the buck!” Dash yelled as she stopped next Twilight as she spotted the Pinkie blowing Gilda.

Gilda opened her eyes and looked up as she heard Dash's voice, only to get an eyeful of Dash and Twilight staring down at her and Pinkie in a very compromising position. At the moment she noticed Dash and Twilight, Pinkie had taken her balls deep and was sucking rather hard. This set off Gilda's orgasm and she came like a volcano.

“Dashie, what the fffffff... Oh fuck ahahaga....!” Gilda grunted as she held Pinkie's mane tightly as she dumped a massive load of thick gryphon spunk directly into the pink mare's waiting belly. Pinkie Pie tried to pull away when she felt Gilda's cock bloated as cum forcefully filled her throat. When she felt Gilda's grip tighten on her head and the gryphon hen was bucking up into her spasming throat Pinkie just relaxed and swallowed as fast as she could to keep from chocking.

It took a full minute for Gilda's orgasm to pass before she released Pinkie's mane and laid back groaning in bliss and sheer embarrassment. Pinkie pulled Gilda's softening cock from her throat and mouth with wet pop. The pink mare quickly turned to stare at Twilight and Dash with wide grin on her face

“Hi, guys. When did you two get here?” Pinkie asked her voice a little horse for the earlier abuse her throat had received before she licked a little bit of stray spunk from the corner of her mouth.

A Brewing Storm and Apologies

Abuse of Love

By AlicornMistress and Dragon Feather

“Passion is sweet. Passion is fiery. Passion is a lover's sword and shield. But be wary young lovers, is you passion a sword to fight or a shield to defend?” - Unknown the Poet

Chapter 2: A Brewing Storm and Apologies

Twilight was just staring for a long while. The whole time her gaze switched back and forth from Pinkie to Gilda, to be more precise from Pinkie’s face to what was between Gilda's legs. The alicorn was a sputtering mess as she tried to form a normal coherent sentence. Dash just glared angrily at both her friends before she moved to Twilight's side.

“Twilight are you okay? Twilight talk to me, Egghead?” She turned to Gilda and Pinkie with an even stronger glare, “Oh great Pinkie Pie, you broke her... again. What were you two even thinking?”

“Dash its not what you think. This sort of just happened. I mean its not like you guys announced you were in the house.” Gilda said as she had finally sat up and caught her breath.

“Gilda we've talked about this, you know about the whole being intimately affectionate thing in front of Twilight. Especially extreme intimate affection since she's new to this whole dating and intimate relationship stuff. I know you and Pinkie love the whole mouth-hug thing, but for Celestia's sake Twilight didn't even know about... Well you know.” She just pointed between Gilda's legs where the gryphon hen's cock was still exposed. “Seriously Gilda how am I supposed to fix this? She thought you guys were lesbians. Now I have to explain this whole thing to her while she's in Flustered Egghead mode. Thanks a lot guys.”

“I thought you already explained that I'm different to her? Oh and another question, why the hell are you here right now?” Gilda asked as she stood up stuffed her flaccid member back into her underwear before she shimmed back into her pants which were down around her ankles. “I thought a pony as sophisticated as yourself would at least have the decency to knock first? I see the princess' good manners haven't rubbed off on you yet, Dash.” Gilda said in a sarcastic tone as she quickly redid the button on her pants. Gilda found her bra a second later but stuffed it in her pants pocket rather than waste the time to put it back on.

“Okay guys let's not fight over this, it was an accident after all. I'll apologized to Twilight later when we get a minute alone. Right now we're going to go upstairs and get cleaned up, you two can let the others in while we're gone.” Pinkie said with a still hoarse but more bubbly voice than before as she dragged her fillyfriend up the stairs and out of sight.

“Oh Dash, if you wouldn't mind, could you pick-up in a here a bit before you let the others in? I don't need Applejack riding my ass anymore than she already does.” Gilda called out as she was drug up the stairs by Pinkie Pie.

“Yeah, Yeah I got it handled.” Dash shot back as she waved the two lovers off before turning to Twilight who was still sputtering and pointing to the empty space where Pinkie and Gilda used to be.

“Mare, what am I going to do with those two?” Rainbow Dash asked as she shook her head as she stared at a still flustered Twilight. “Well I better fix her and get this place cleaned up before I let the others in. Otherwise I going to have to come up with a really good lie.”

Dash stepped closer to Twilight and gave her little shake as she called out her name softly. At first Twilight didn't even respond she just kept staring at the same spot muttering to herself. Rainbow Dash tried again this time shaking Twilight a little more forcefully as she called her name. This seemed to work as Twilight blinked a few times before she turned to Rainbow Dash to speak.

“S-she had a... she had a... there was a... and Pinkie was... It was in her mouth and, and Dashie she swallowed it. She swallowed it all... Why does Gilda have a... p-p-p-penis!?” Twilight asked while gesturing wildly to the spot where Gilda had laid as she staring wide eyes at her fillyfriend.

“I know that Twilight, calm down and I'll explain everything. Yes, Gilda has a penis, I saw it. The truth is I was kinda supposed to tell you about that a few days ago.” Dash said as she placed her hands on Twilight's shoulders to steady her.

“WHAT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS SOONER?!? WE JUST WALKED IN ON THEM AND PINKIE PIE HAD HER MOUTH ON IT!” Twilight screamed still flustered about the situation.

“Jeez Twilight, calm down. So we walked in on Pinkie Pie going down on Gilda, its not like they were embarrassed about us catching them in the act. And yeah I totally should have told you about that sooner. But you know now, so no harm no foul, right?” Rainbow Dash asked trying to get Twilight to calm down.

“Dash this is not okay and I'm not happy that you neglected to mention this little thing to me. How long have you known? Do the other girls know? Is it safe for them to, you know be intimate? Can Pinkie really take all of that thing inside herself safely?” Twilight finished in a whisper with her voice still slightly squeaky.

“Really Twilight you just found that out and that's what you want to know?” Dash just stared at Twilight getting only a serious look in return, “Oh fine Egghead, I've known about Gilda having a penis since I was in Young Speedster Flight Camp with her back when we were younger. So like seventeen or so years now. Second question, No, only I know and you were supposed to know about this a few days ago but I never got around to telling you. Third question, yes, they've been together for five years now Twilight of course they've had sex. I mean you saw how big that thing was, why wouldn't Pinkie Pie want to take it for a spin? And final question, yes Pinkie has taken the whole thing inside of her safely but I don't know any of the details. But really why would I even ask about that? ” Rainbow Dash asked with a small laugh at her fillyfriend's shocked facial expression.

“Dash have you and Gilda ever... no nevermind I don't want to know. I think its best I not ask those questions right now.” As Twilight turned and shook her head. There was a time and place to ask those type of questions about Dash’s past sexual history and now was not it, “We'll talk about this later, lets just get this place cleaned up and let the other girls in. I just want to pretend that I never saw what I saw earlier.”

“Okay we'll talk about it later but Twi you can't say anything about this to the other girls. Gilda and Pinkie want to keep their unique relationship a secret for now. Its not like their not going to tell the others someday but Gilda has some issues with ponies making fun of her or treating her like a freak when they know. I asked her if I could tell you because there's no secrets between us. That was what we agreed upon when we started dating. I'm sorry for not telling you before this. That was my fault and I will make that up to you. But for the sake of Gilda and Pinkie's relationship we need to keep what just happened to ourselves, okay?” Dash asked Twilight as she pulled the lavender alicorn into her arms for a tight hug.

Twilight laid her head on Dash's shoulder and she held her fillyfriend tightly. While the scene from earlier had been a little shocking and very unfamiliar to Twilight, Dash was right about one thing. They had agreed not to keep secrets from each other. Well not any thing important that is. Dash had even asked Gilda if it was okay to tell her about the specialness of Gilda and Pinkie's relationship. Rainbow Dash was honoring her end of that agreement. Twilight felt she needed to at least meet Dash half way on this as well. Keeping the secret until the other couple was okay with talking about it openly wasn't all that bad. It was different, surprising, and very interesting but not bad in the slightest.

“Okay Dashie I won't say anything about it for Pinkie and Gilda's sake. We really do need to talk about this later. First between you and me as I have some questions, then with Pinkie and Gilda. I'm curious about Gilda having a... a penis. I'm sorry for being so shocked about it but I've only ever seen one in pictures and my brother's a few times by accident when I was a little filly.” Twilight whispered softly to Dash.

“It's okay Twilight, I know it's a little shocking but you did well when you found out. I was shocked too when I first found out and my reaction to it was not as favorable as yours was. But Gilda and I are close friends so I got over my shock in like ten seconds flat. Most ponies usually start name calling when they see something like that because they don't understand it. I want you to know I'm proud of you for not freaking out and trying to examine her or asking her a bunch of really awkward questions about her being different.” Dash told Twilight as she caressed the back of her head softly.

“Believe me I really wanted too. I still have a lot of questions. I don't want to upset Gilda or Pinkie with my curiosity. I never knew it was possible without magic for a female to have a penis. I mean I read a few medic journals that talk about it but it's rare medical condition in ponies.” Twilight told Dash before she pulled away from her. “Come on we need to get this place cleaned before we let the others in. Applejack doesn't need any more reasons to want to fight Gilda than the ones she already has.”

“Yeah, Gilda has it hard enough without Applejack adding more inches to a long list of problems.” Dash snickered before she was hit by Twilight for the bad joke.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash separated then began to clean up the living room. Rainbow Dash set up the coffee table and gathered up the discarded items from the table as Twilight went to find a broom. When the alicorn mare came back she handed the broom to Dash. She then used her magic to track down and pick up the scattered buttons littering the floor. While Rainbow Dash was sweeping up Twilight noticed a small wet spot on the floor where Gilda had been laying minutes ago. She quickly found a rag and whipped up the pearly colored fluid.

Twilight quickly realized the fluid she had wiped up was some of Gilda semen. Soon curiosity overwhelmed the lavender mare and she brought the rag closer to her face. The alicorn mare quickly checked to see if her fillyfriend was looking. When she found Dash busy sweeping up with her back turned Twilight directed her attention back to the rag. She brought the damp cloth to her nose for a quick sniff. Twilight was momentarily overwhelmed by the strong musky scent. She gave a short involuntary moan as she clamped her legs tightly together. She only got this excited whenever Dash nibbled on her ears or wings. 'Gilda's pheromone levels must be off the charts if the smell of her semen has me this excited. No wonder Pinkie can't keep herself from put it in her mouth.' Twilight thought to herself as she gave the rag another light sniff.

Twilight gave another small moan and gasp from the scent and was about to take another sniff when she felt a presence behind her. The lavender alicorn tensed up, her wings stiff as she slowly turned her head to see who was behind her.

“What are you doing Egghead? Why were you just moaning a second ago and what's that in your hand?” Rainbow Dash asked as she snatched the rag from Twilight's hand.

“I-It's nothing and I didn't moan.” Twilight said in a flustered tone as she tried to snatch the rag away from Dash before she could smell it.

“Oh really?” Rainbow Dash asked as she gave the rag a sniff before shuddering slightly. She knew that scent all too well. Flashes for her teenage years and the few times her and Gilda had sex came flooding back. “Really Egghead? I can't believe you were sniffing this. Are you trying to tell me something?” Rainbow Dash asked as she looked at Twilight with a cocked eyebrow.

“Dashie its not like that, I saw it on the floor so I wiped it up and curiosity got the best of me, hehe.” Twilight said defending her actions after all it was for science, partially and for her own curiosity, mostly.

“If you really want to know that bad why don't you just ask her to whip it out and let you examine it?”

“Really, you think she'd actually let me examine it? I mean I brought my notepad and things along in the bag with with our nightclothes just in case I needed them. But I don't have a measuring tape. Do you think Pinkie has a measuring tape? She is a party planner after all and she would need to measure a lot of different things. So she probably has one or two around here.”

Rainbow Dash just stared at her fillyfriend with wide eyes and her mouth hanging open. After a few seconds of surprise she just shook her head at her fillyfriend's openness about the situation, “Really Egghead? I was being sarcastic. Like I'm really gonna let you ask Gilda to whip it out so you can measure it.”

“Oh I wouldn't just measure it. I'd actually have to get a semen sample to test her hormone level and fertility. I would also have to get some pictures for the research paper, test her sensitivity level with the equipment in the lab back at the castle. You know some real hands on research with Gilda.” Twilight said enthusiastically.

Rainbow Dash face palmed as she turned around to get back to work, “Just clean, Egghead.”

When Twilight and Rainbow Dash were done cleaning the living room and Twilight had checked it over to make sure it was up to her standards that being spotless and neatly organized she gave Dash the okay to let the girls in. When Dash opened the door Applejack stomped through with her hat dipped over her face, Rarity strutted in like a proper lady and Fluttershy meekly followed face already hidden behind her hair.

“So where is the happy couple? Not upstairs fightin' Ah hope.” Applejack said sarcastically to Rainbow Dash and Twilight before she felt Rarity place a hand on her shoulder and clear her throat. AJ groaned a bit then raised her hands in defeat.

“Relax AJ there just upstairs getting cleaned up, we kinda surprised them and they spilled some stuff.” Rainbow Dash said covering for her mare and gryphon friends.

“Sorry Ah'm still a little ornery from the earlier fight with Gilda. So ta keep the peace in mah own house Ah need to apologize ta her.” Applejack said before she took a seat on the large sofa. Moments later Rarity was right next to her.

“It's fine you can hash it out with Gilda using your words when she gets back down here. Until then lets just have seat and play it cool.” Dash said before she sat on the love seat with Twilight in her lap.

*************

Upstairs Gilda entered the master bedroom with Pinkie right behind her. The gryphon hen was little upset and embarrassed that Dash and the Princess of Friendship had caught her and Pinkie being intimate in the living room. At least they hadn't seen Pinkie's panic attack so that much was going right for them.

“Pinkie I keep telling you, you just can keep doing things like that. I know we are couple and it's okay for us to make love in any part of the house but not...” Gilda was cut off mid-sentence by Pinkie's passionate kiss.

All thoughts of arguing the point of why random sexual encounters when friends were over was bad vanished from Gilda mind as she felt her fillyfriend's tongue wrestling with hers. Soon Gilda found herself flat on her back on the bed with Pinkie over top of her. The pink mare had that look of lust in her eyes, the look that said she was getting fucked whether the gryphon hen agreed to it or not. This was the norm after a fight or one of Pinkie's panic attacks.

“Pinkie wait... the others are downstairs. We have to hurry back before they come looking for us.” Gilda said quickly hoping Pinkie would see reason and stop until later. They really didn't have time for this and Gilda was a little tired from work and the earlier blowjob.

“So what? They can wait downstairs for a little while. I've been wanting this cock in me for the last three weeks while you've been at work. We don't do it as often like when we lived in Ponyville and I'm tired of my toys. I want the real thing. Plus would you really make me stop when your this hard and I'm this wet?” Pinkie asked as she pushed herself back against Gilda towering shaft and ground her soaked cunt against it for several seconds.

Gilda let out a groan of frustration when she felt Pinkie's wet sticky panties rub up and down her overly hard joystick. If Pinkie kept doing that it wouldn't take long before Gilda would cave-in and give the pink mare whatever she wanted. This little tactic always got Pinkie sex when she wanted it. There was only one way out of this and it was to give Pinkie what she wanted but on Gilda's terms. If she was stuck doing it they were going to do it her way.

“Alright my sweet little candy ass but we do this my way or you not getting off tonight.” Gilda said firmly with a wicked grin.

Pinkie stared at the gryphon hen for moment before she smiled lustfully, “Okay how do you want to do this then? And no getting out of this with a titty fuck or another blowjob. I want your cock inside of me and I want to be filled. No condom this time either since I won't be in heat for another two weeks.”

Gilda raised an eyebrow as she stared at Pinkie with a knowing look, “Really, are you sure you can handle it? I mean it been three weeks and you know how pent up I get being at the dorms. I don't think you'll be able to stand after I'm done with you, even if it's a quickie.”

“Wanna bet? I bet you'll be the one who won't be able to stand. Once I'm done with you.” Pinkie said with a knowing looking on her face.

“Okay fine, loser goes downstairs without her panties on for the rest of the night.” Gilda said with a wicked grin before she rolled Pinkie over onto her back, “Hope your going to enjoy hanging out with your friends without your panties.”

“Tell me that after you win.” Pinkie purred as she reached between them and with a yank ripped her soft cotton panties off. She threw them away and met Gilda's eyes as she firmly gripped the gryphon hen's shaft ready to guide it into her honey pot.

Gilda grabbed Pinkie Pie's hand gently stopping her from getting what she wanted. She then pointed to the bathroom, “Not here, don't want to get anything on the sheets. All I need is to have to take them to the wash with our nosy friends hanging around.” Gilda said sarcastically.

Pinkie Pie just giggled before nodding her head. Gilda got up to let her candy arsed fillyfriend make her way to the bathroom. Once they were both in the bathroom Gilda closed the door before pushing Pinkie Pie up against the sink and bending her over. The gryphon hen lifted the yellow sundress over Pinkie's tail before spreading her firm cheeks and burying her beak deep in the mare's wet pussy.

Pinkie moaned loudly, it had been so long since she had felt the forceful caresses of her lover's tongue. With the amount of force that Gilda was using and the rapid flicking of her tongue it would only be a few minutes more before Pinkie came all over her face. The pink mare blushed as she saw her reflection in the mirror. She couldn't believe how turned on she was, by the fact that she was getting her muff munched by her lover while her friends waited for them downstairs. She bit her lip to try and hold in the lustful moans for fear that one of the other girls would think that Gilda had started another argument with her and would come to investigate.

She failed and a let out set of loud moans as she gripped the sides of the sink harder when Gilda firmly slapped her plump ass-cheek. The pink mare's breath came in ragged gasps as she grew close to climaxing but it just wasn't enough, she needed more. “Gilda please stop teasing me. You know I want your party cannon in my party hole.”

Gilda pulled back away from Pinkie, a lustful smile across her face. The gryphon hen was now way too turned on to just give in and be quick about winning their little bet. No, if Pinkie was going to get what she wanted, the pink mare would have to beg properly. Gilda gave Pinkie's ass another firm slap before she gave her tail which was wrapped around her fist a light tug. “What was that my little pony slut? Did you want something? I didn't hear you ask for it properly. You're not getting anything until you ask properly.” As she was speaking her hand was stroking Pinkie's ass making the moist mare mindlessly moan.

Pinkie bit her lip as she trembled from the pleasure she was feeling. She knew there was only one way to get Gilda to mount her. She would have to beg like a proper pony slut should. “Gilda please fuck my slutty holes until I can't walk straight. Fuck me till I'm a cum covered cock craving slut.” the pink mare moaned as she wiggled her firm ass in the gryphon's face.

Gilda smiled knowing full well that at this point she had won. All she had to do now was to finish claiming her victory. She quickly stood and dropped her pants. Gild bother with pulling her panties off she just pulled to the side to free her cock. Once her love stick was free Gilda gripped Pinkie's hips as she lined up herself up with Pinkie's wet quivering mound. In one thrust she completely hilted herself inside of the pink mare. Both the gryphon and mare moaned loudly as they became locked together.

Pinkie's eyes rolled into the back of her head as she nearly came just from the penetration. It had been far too long since she had felt this full. While she loved Gilda's job for providing them with the money to live so well off she hated that it was killing their sex life. While Gilda was stuck in Ponyville for her work rotation Pinkie was stuck just using the couples large selection of toys. While fun, they had gotten boring after few months. They never fulfilled the pink mare as her fillyfriend's massive tool always did. With a sigh of contentment Pinkie savored the feeling of being full to the brim as her tight folds spasmed around Gilda's thick rod.

“Oh fuck I forgot how tight your pussy was while I was away for the long work rotation. Damn it I'm not going to last long tonight.”Gilda panted as she adjusted her grip on Pinkie. She let go of the mare's hips and firmly grasped her shoulders before pulling her up in the full standing position.

Pinkie widened her stance slightly as she prepared for the onslaught that would be Gilda's powerful thrusts. Before the pink mare could let her hen know she was ready Gilda pulled back almost pulling free of Pinkie completely before thrusting forward as hard as she could. Pinkie cried out in ecstasy cumming hard as Gilda's crotch smacked into her ass with wet slap. A few seconds later another wet slap come, then another seconds after until a fast paced rhythm was built. The whole time both mare and hen cried out their love for each other.

“Oh fuck... my pussy feels so good. Oh Celestia I've missed this so much... Fuck me harder Gilda make cum so hard the girls hear me screaming your NNNAAAMMMMMEEE!” Pinkie yelled as a second orgasm washed over her causing to squirt all over Gilda thighs.

“Fuck you're so fucking tight right now. By the Great Talons I'm going cum so hard in your hot mare hole. Oh baby, I fucking love you...” Gilda crooned as she began nibbling on Pinkie's ear as she too was getting close to cumming.

“Oh so good... I love you too Honeytail... ah fuck, really fill me up with all of that thick cream. Make me a happy creamedpie!” Pinkie shouted as she drew close to her third climax in the last ten minutes.

That last little bit of dirty talk combined with the cute pet name that Pinkie had given her when the they first started dating sent Gilda over the edge. With a might grunt she thrusts forward hard before her cock swelled and sprayed a torrent of white hot cream deep into Pinkie's wet convulsing love tunnel. For several seconds Gilda's vision went white as the world faded away. All she could hear was Pinkie's moans and her of grunting as she emptied her overly full balls deep in her mare's tight tunnel.

'I really need to find a job closer to home.'Gilda thought as she held on to Pinkie tightly so the pink mare wouldn't lose her balance. After a minute or so and several pulsing hot spurts of thick spunk she pulled free of Pinkie's tight wet marehood. The hen gently let the pink mare slip to her knees on the floor in front of the sink. The gryphon hen sat down the floor just behind Pinkie panting softly as she watched her fillyfriend try and stand.

“I think I lost the bet Honeytail. I can't feel my legs or my tail.” Pinkie said after she was able to catch her breath.

“I told you that you would. But to be honest I almost lost after you call me Honeytail.” Gilda replied with a soft blush before looking away.

Pinkie Pie gave a soft smile while turning around and crawling on to her fillyfriend lap. “Well a deal is a deal but let's get clean up first.” Pinkie said before a quick kiss then she got up from Gilda's lap on shaky legs. Once she was on her hooves again a thick amount of Gilda's cream rolled down her thighs. “Oh wowie you were right it is super thick this time around. I'm all super sticky inside and out. You really did frost my pie good tonight.”

“Well it's all your fault, the blowjob downstairs... it got me really worked up and I did miss you for the last three weeks.” Gilda said softly before she stood up and pulled Pinkie close. “Just a few more months and Hoof dale will be an official city in Equestria so Rarity will set up a shop and I can transfer. Once that happens we can do it as much as you like.” Gilda leaned in and kissed Pinkie softly for a few seconds before she backed away and started to undress.

“I'm going hop in the shower first so could you pull me out something to wear?” Gilda asked before she stepped into the shower and turned on the water.

“You know I have a belly full of your cream that's starting to drip out and you want me to go walking around?” Pinkie asked as she leaned into the shower watching Gilda as she stood under the flowing warm water.

“I didn't say you couldn't wipe up or shower in a bit, you're just going downstairs without any undies on.” Gilda said with a giggle before she reached for the shower door to close it.

Pinkie whimpered as Gilda started to close the door before she stepped closer stopping the door from closing. “Why can't we just shower together?”

“Oh no. You just got fucked and rather hard I might add. You're not getting it again until your friends go home or are in the guest rooms so they can't hear us. Now be a good little filly and go get me some some clothes to wear.”

Pinkie blushed softly at the words Gilda used to address her as she remember she used the same words to bribe Gilda into holding her earlier. She quickly made her way out of the bathroom and went to the dresser to find Gilda something comfortable but appropriate to wear. Pinkie passed over a pair of jean shorts since it might let the other girls know about how special Gilda really was. After search for a while Pinkie settled on a white tank top and pair of baggy pajama pants for Gilda. She picked a loose t-shirt and some blue cotton shorts for herself. After picking out their clothes Pinkie grabbed Gilda white bra and panty set before she returned to the bathroom.

When the pink mare entered the bathroom Gilda was in the middle of drying off and preening her wings. Pinkie giggled to herself as she noticed Gilda had missed a few of the damaged and loose feathers near her back. “Hey silly you missed a few feathers back here. Let me get them for you.” Pinkie said before she put the fresh clothes on the the vanity.

“Oh thanks Pinkie, I keep forgetting that I showed you how to help me preen. I'm still not used to you helping me though. It's kind of a Gryphon/Pegasus thing you know.” Gilda said sheepishly and she spread her wings for Pinkie to help.

“You don't have to be so shy Gildy pooh. I have been helping you for year and half now. I know it's a super close bonding thing for you. I want you trust me just as much as you do Dashie or the other gryphons at the Dorms.” Pinkie said softly as she gently pulled the damaged and loose feathers free and dropped them in the feather can next to the vanity.

“I know and I do trust you but its hard get used to you helping me since I can't preen you. Preening is one of the few things that brings winged creatures like Pegasi and gryphon's closer together.” Gilda told Pinkie with a soft sigh as she felt several more feather pop loose under Pinkie's soft touch.

“Even though you can't preen me you hold me why I cry, you are there when I need you. That's just like the bond that Pegasi and gryphon's share when they preen.” Pinkie said in a soft whisper and she pulled the last of the loose feathers free and discard them. “Hey I know, you can help me brush out my mane and tail after I get out of the shower. That would be pretty close to preening me, right?”

“O-okay, that sounds okay.” Gilda said with voice trembling a bit which made Pinkie smile.

Pinkie quickly undressed the hopped in the shower while Gilda cleaned up the bathroom and put the soiled clothes in the hamper. The gryphon hen was dressed and waiting with a towel when Pinkie climbed out of the shower a few minutes later. After helping Pinkie dry off Gilda took up the manebrush and gently brushed out Pinkie’s mane first with trembling hands. By the time she finished brushing out the mare's tail the hen was more relaxed and comfortable with brushing Pinkie's mane and tail.

The couple quickly shared and hug before Pinkie got dressed and they went back downstairs. In all the whole encounter had taken 45 minutes and Gilda felt relaxed enough to deal with Applejack and the earlier scuffle outside.

“Hey Gilda what took you guys so long? Were you up there getting one in, huh?” Dash asked as she hugged Twilight close.

“Dashie! Why would you ask something so... private?” Twilight asked as she glared the rainbow maned mare.

“It's okay Twilight. Dash has always been a pervert so now biggie. Beside with the way your glaring at her I'd be surprised if Dash will be getting any flank anytime soon.” Gilda said with a laugh. “Have fun sleeping on the couch tonight Dash.” All of the girls had a laugh at that, save Twilight who was still glaring at Rainbow Dash.

“Gilda do you have any extra pillows and blankets?” Twilight ask without taking her eyes off Rainbow Dash.

“Yeah, tons of them. Why do you ask Twilight?” Gilda ask wonder why Twilight would need extra pillows and a blanket.

“Oh simple really, Rainbow Dash will need them since she will be spending the night on your couch. As she won't be spending the night with me.” Twilight replied.

“Oh serious Twilight, it was just a joke. Come on, stop being like that. You really wouldn't make me sleep on the couch would you?” Rainbow Dash asked a bit worried that Twilight would kick her out of bed tonight.

Twilight turned away and was silent letting Dash's worry grow until it look like the cyan pegasus was going to pass out. The lavender mare giggle lightly before looking back at Dash. “Got you.”

Everyone had good laugh as Rainbow Dash breathed a sigh of relief before she started play fighting and kissing Twilight.

While the other were engaging in small talk Gilda turned to stare at Applejack. “Hey Applejack can I talk to you in the kitchen for a minute.” Gilda said causal before she kissed Pinkie on the cheek then she walked in the kitchen.

Rarity knew this moment would come sooner or later that night but she was a bit surprised that Gilda had called Applejack into the kitchen to speak with her alone. Rarity looked over at Applejack who was also bit surprised too but the unicorn mare could see that her fillyfriend had a strange look in her eyes. The look was a mix of 'alright I get to finish it and that was surprising'. Before she would let Applejack go talk to Gilda, Rarity was going to remind the orange mare of her promise just to make sure they could keep the peace. After all they were all staying the night, hopefully.

“Applejack, darling do try to not pick another fight with Gilda this time. Just apologize and don't give her one of your angry half apologies half criticisms. You know the ones you like to use when you don't really want to say sorry.” Rarity said softly when Applejack started to get up.

Applejack paused for a moment as she thought over Rarity's words and her earlier conversation with the mare. Rarity was right AJ did often give out halfhearted apologizes when she felt she shouldn't have to say sorry. The difference this time was she wouldn’t do that. This time AJ would really say sorry but also get some answers about Gilda's fight with Pinkie while she was doing it.

“Ah know Rarity and Ah promised yah Ah wouldn't start anything. Ah'll give Gilda ah right proper apology like Ah'm suppose ta. Don't yah worry none bout that.” Applejack told her fillyfriend before she give her an honest smile then got up and walked into the kitchen.

Gilda was standing next to the sink drinking a glass of water when Applejack walked in and stood next to the door with her arms folded across her chest. “While Ah'm here. So what did yah want ta talk 'bout?” Applejack asked as she brashly stared at Gilda.

Gilda put the empty glass down on the counter before she turned to face Applejack. For awhile neither the mare nor the hen spoke, they just stared at each other. It was almost a minute later when Gilda cleared her throat before she started to speak. “Look Applejack I'm sor-sorry about what I said and hitting you earlier. It was uncalled for since you were just trying to help Pinkie. I know that gryphons are known for their tempers and can be violent even at the best of times but I swear to you I wasn't going to hurt Pinkie. I would sooner leave her then hit her.”

“If'n that's true why the hay were yah shakin' Pinkie like that? What was really goin' on Gilda? Come clean and don't yah try and give me none of that we weren't fightin' horsepucky. Ah know a fight when Ah see one.” Applejack said and she gave Gilda a stern look.

“Okay I'll come clean. It was true, we were fighting but its not what you think.” Gilda said in a her defense and she held up her hands. “Pinkie and I got into fight because she was having a panic attack about me being late. I had an emergency delivery at work that took up most of the day and I almost missed the last train home. When I got here she started freaking out about me being late and we got into it. I never should have shook her or yelled at her like that but I wasn't going to hurt her. I love her too much to ever do anything to harm her.”

“Okay. Say Ah do believe yah on that. Why didn't yah just say that before we got into it out front?” Applejack asked as she eyed Gilda carefully. It was odd to the farm mare that Gilda was being so forth coming and was being very apologetic.

“Given our past history would you have readily or willingly listened to me then as you are now?” The gryphon hen asked with her head lowered.

“Ah see yer point on that and Ah'm sorry too. Ah shouldn't have thought the worst of yah before hearin' the whole story. Ah know that you and Ah haven't been on the best of terms since yah started datin' Pinkie and all but Ah'm not a tribalist or nothin' but...” Applejack trailed off as she thought about her cousin.

“Applejack, look I get that gryphon-pony relationships are sometimes way off balance and can end... messy on both sides... The thing is that I don't want to make you or any of the other girls worry that I might hurt Pinkie Pie. I know you and the others are important to her and... to me as well so I'm sorry. I'm really sorry and I hope that... what I'm trying to say... is that I want... I want us to start over and try and be friends for real this time.” Gilda said with a blush marring her features as she shifted uncomfortably in front of the sink.

Applejack shifted uncomfortably as well as she thought over what Gilda had just said. It wasn't like the farm mare didn't want to try and like Gilda it was just hard. So many things were in the way. Gilda and Applejack had been enemies of sort since the whole outburst Gilda had five years ago. The whole incident with Posie had Applejack worried about Gilda being just like most gryphons in relationships with ponies. All you ever read about in the papers or hear others saying on the subject is how violent and abusive gryphons are to their pony partners. Then there was Applejack's stubborn nature and how Gilda first impression had colored AJ's thoughts about her. But now Gilda was standing there asking to start over and try to be a good friend to Applejack because she truly loved Pinkie. The gryphon hen had even admitted that all of the girls were important to her just as much as they were to Pinkie. So why did Applejack feel like an ass for what she thought about Gilda earlier? Part of her felt she had the right to just paint Gilda as an abusive monster but another part of AJ told she was wrong for feeling that way. Gilda was trying to be better the the nasty image Applejack had of gryphons so AJ had try and give her the benefit of the doubt. It was honest thing to do.

“Okay Gilda Ah will try ta be friends with yah. Ah know it took a lot ta ask that and say what yah said. As the Element of Honesty Ah will honestly try if'n yer willin' ta be honest with me and the others when things are goin' wrong with you and Pinkie.” Applejack said as she offered her hand to Gilda, “So what do yah say, do we have a deal partner?”

Gilda consider Applejack's words for a moment. If she she agreed to this at some point she would have to tell the others about Pinkie's condition and about the medications the mare was taking to keep her stable. That was something she promise she would never do. On the other hand if she didn't at least try to be on good terms with Applejack and the others every time Pinkie had an episode they would think she was just hurting Pinkie. That was something Gilda would never let happen so she only had one choice. That was to get closer to Applejack and the other girls and at some point tell them the whole true and pray for the best outcome.

“Okay Applejack. I will try my hardest. I may mess up every now and then but I promise you I will try my hardest to be honest with you about what's going on with Pinkie and I. Just promise me that you will keep an open mind and hear me out about what happened before you decide to do anything about it, okay?” Gilda asked as she took hold of Applejack's hand and shook it firmly.

“Yah got a deal partner, but remember yah have ta come me tell the whole truth even if it makes yah look bad in mah eyes. Ah know no ponies perfect and we all make mistakes but that's why we have friends ta rely on.” Applejack told Gilda with a soft smile as she shook her hand.

“I know that now and I'll try to remember that in the future when I have a problem. Thanks for being understanding about this Applejack.”

“No problem Gilda. 'Sides if'n Ah hadn't come and said Ah was sorry and made this right Rarity would have had my tail in a sling for weeks. That mare can be powerful scary when she's mad at yah.” Applejack said with a laugh.

“Don't I know it. I work for the mare and she can be a real slave driver too when a deadline is close.” Gilda added seconds later and laughed with Applejack.

After good round of laughter Applejack helped Gilda get some drinks and snacks for the others before going into the living room. When the mare and gryphon entered the room with trays of snacks and drinks they found the others is in the middle of a Battle For Equestria game. Rarity and Twilight were facing off against Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash with Fluttershy being game master.

As Gilda sat the drinks down she stared at the board and could see that Pinkie and Dash were winning so far as the changeling armies had half of Equestria conquered and Twilight's Sun Guard Forces where down to just 12 units while the changelings were 30 units strong. Rarity had pulled her 20 Lunar Guard Units back to Canterlot to try and regroup while Twilight was trying to defend Ponyville and her castle with all she had. Fluttershy's Pegasus Contingent was 54 units strong but for the most part hadn't left Cloudsdale or the part of the Everfree Forest she controlled. Not that anypony would leave the Everfree when they controlled the Tree of Harmony and was getting five extra units a turn.

It was team Rarelight's and Twilight was taking time working out a plan of attack with Rarity so Gilda took that time to call Rainbow Dash into kitchen.

“Hey sorry to interrupt your game but I need to ask you if you have that bottle of pills I left with you?” Gilda asked softly.

“Yeah I have them. I usually have them when I come to visit you, why?” Dash asked with a raised eyebrow, “What are those pills for anyway? I looked them up in one of Twilight's medical text books and it said that Aripiprazole Topiramate is a mixed drug used to treat depression, Schizoaffective disorder, and host of stuff that I couldn't pronounce or understand. ”

Gilda froze up for a second since she was surprised that Dash would take the time to look up what the medication was and its uses. Gilda silently thanked The Great Talons that she had torn Pinkie's name off the bottle otherwise she would have lot of explaining to do.

“Well to tell you the truth Dash Aripiprazole Topiramate is used for all the stuff you mentioned but I take it as a mood stabilizer. It keeps me for getting too angry. I'm still dealing with some issues from when I was a chick. You remember how my m-m-mother was when we were back at camp?”

“Yeah I remember how it was with your mom. I still kinda have nightmares about that time she threw me out of the house when she caught us kissing that one time. I literally thought she was going to kill me! She was so pissed.” Dash replied. “So are you seeing somepony for all of that stuff?”

“Yeah I am. Its a once a week thing and its helping but I still need the pills. There so I don't you know lose it and do something dangerous or stupid that I will regret.” Gilda lied partially since Pinkie was seeing a Psychiatrist once a week and it was helping but she did need her meds. “I ran out of meds and I won't have time to get my prescription filled until some time tomorrow. I kinda need them right now after the Applejack thing.”

“Yeah I get it. The bottle's in the bag with Twilight and my stuff. Twilight left it upstairs before we walked in on you and Pinkie. I'll go get it for you. Be right back.” Dash said before she left the kitchen and went upstairs to fetch the pill bottle. It was two minutes later she returned to the kitchen with the backpack on her shoulder. It took Dash few seconds to fish the bottle out before she handed it Gilda. “Here you go but you only have like four pills in there.”

“Thanks Dash. I will give the bottle back some time tomorrow with a few more pills in it. This bottle is my emergency stash if run I low like I did this time.” Gilda said a bit sheepishly. “Oh please don't tell the other about this. Pinkie already knows but I'm still trying to deal with my issues and I'm just not ready to talk about it outside of you, Pinkie and Dr. Clear Thought.”

“ Okay I'll keep this hush-hush since it a personal thing. I'm just glad your seeing some on about the stuff with your mom. I know it was hard on you before and after she died.” Dash said solemnly.

“Yeah it was tough growing up with, but I have Pinkie, you, and girls so my life is much better now. I will let go of all of that bad stuff in time so don't worry about it.” Gilda replied softly before taking the pill bottle and slipping it into her pocket. “You should get back to your game. I hope it doesn't end like always does, with you and Pinkie claiming another victory.”

“Well what can I say Pinkie and I are an awesome team when comes to Battle for Equestria.” Dash replied as she walked back out to the living room with Gilda right behind her.

Once in the living Gilda took a set at the dinning room table across from Applejack how had pulled out the playing cards and was shuffling them. Dash sat on the couch next to Pinkie who was going over cards since it was Team Changeling's turn next. Soon Gilda and Applejack started up a game of Poker which Gilda was starting to lose at just after only four hands. The other girls were already several turns in the battle for dominance with Team Changeling taking and early lead in army size. Several more turns past with a few battles here and there all the while Fluttershy remained neutral as Team Rarelight and Team Changeling battled for control.

“So Twilight ready to give up Ponyville and run back to Canterlot with Rarity or do we have to wipe you out right here?” Pinkie asked she help up the three red attacks dice.

“Never! I won't ever let Chrysalis have Ponyville or my castle. The changeling hordes are going down this turn. I swear it!” Twilight vowed as she picked up the four white defense dice. “Bring it on Pinkie Pie!”

“Okay Twilight you're going down. I play the Spy Infiltration card. So you lose two units and one defense die.” Rainbow Dash said as she dropped the card from her hand.

“Ha, I saw that coming so I play the Surprise Attack, the Double Agent, and Reinforcements from the Rear cards. The Surprise Attack card gives me three extra units for this battle, the Double Agent card cancels out your Spy Infiltration card as well as converts one die worth of your units to my side.” Twilight said as she rolled the die and got a six.

“Yes, yes, yes, yes yes! I got six changeling units. Now to resolve the Reinforcements from the Rear card. I will roll two dice and if I get seven or higher I get to double my units for this battle but if I get a six or lower I only get five additional units for this battle. If I roll a 12 I get to double my units for this battle and you lose four units.” Twilight pick up the two white dice and rolled coming up with an four and a five. “All right now I got a nine so that gives 42 units for this battle, 30 Sun Guard Forces and 12 Changeling Horde units that are now shape shifted into unicorns. The changeling units give me an additional two defense dice. So still want to attack me?”

“Dang, I should have known she would hold back some defense cards once we got the Horde Engine going. So what do we do now Queen Pinkie.” Dash said to her game partner with a frown.

“We let her go for now General Dashie, we let her go. The Horde Engine is more important then taking the Castle of Friendship... for now.” Pinkie said with eyes narrowed. “I'll add four tokens to our Horde Engine to give us a total of 16 tokens so we will get eight new units next turn. So for now the Changeling Hordes pass our turn.”

Pinkie Pie handed the attack dice to Fluttershy although everypony knew Fluttershy wouldn't attack. Fluttershy set them back on the table as she looked at the cards in her hand. Fluttershy seemed to be lost in intense thought for a moment before she selected a card and placed it on the table, “I play the Safe Passage and Treaty Card all enemy forces for the next 2 turns can't attack of defend but gain four additional units each turn. If that's okay with everypony.”

“Oww come on Fluttershy you have the biggest army on the board, attack one of us already.” Rainbow Dash grumbled as she pointed to Fluttershy's army. “At least take out Twilight or something, This games going to be boring if me and Pinkie Pie win with the Horde Engine this time.”

“Rainbow Dash what makes you think you and Pinkie Pie are going to win this game? Until the beginning of our turn Twilight will have 42 units and 6 defense dice. Not to mention I still have Luna's Blessing in play; which allows me to aid Twilight in one battle of my choosing.”

“Come off it Rarity we all know you're not one for messy conflicts. I mean you did abandon Twilight and run back to Canterlot, didn't you?” Rainbow dash asked as she pointed to the Canterlot section of the board.

“Hey that's right you did leave me all alone in Ponyville when Pinkie and Rainbow Dash showed up! I thought the sun and the moon were standing together Rarity?” Twilight asked before she started arguing with Rarity about their strategy.

While Rarity and Twilight were arguing Pinkie and Dash were giggling as they high-fived, seems that their little plan to get Rarity and Twilight to fight among themselves was working. Fluttershy just sighed as she added her additional 10 units to her army before she passed her turn.

Rarity picked up the attack dice as she eyed Twilight menacingly, “Fine if that's the way you want it Twilight. The Lunar Guard shall just defend Canterlot. You and your forces are on their own.”

“Fine by me Rarity the Lunar Guard was just holding the Sun Guard back anyway. Once the Changeling threat has been dealt with I am ousting the Lunar Guard and ruling Equestria alone.”

“If that's the way you want it Twilight. I play the Force Separation card, this allows me to declare one area on the board its own separate land. I was going to use this to break the Changeling hordes in to two separate hives and make them fight over who would get the Horde engine. But since you want to be rid of the Lunar Guard so bad, this card means our partnership is over and the Sun Guard Forces our now our enemies as well.” Rarity laid the card on the table before adding her additional 6 units then passing the attack dice to Twilight. “Good luck defending your kingdom. Darling.”

Twilight growled in frustration as her army of 42 units was reduced to 21. Now with Rarity as an enemy she had a lot more to worry about. She then face-palmed as she realized she had fallen into Rainbow Dash's trap yet again. She had let a little detail cause her to forget the bigger picture. All she could do now was try to hold onto Ponyville for at least another 3 turns. With everypony being unable to attack for the next 2 turns she had time to move her forces to Baltimare to gain additional units for the coming battle. Twilight picked up two of the white dice and rolled them getting a 4 and a 2 giving her enough movement to get to Baltimare.

Fluttershy handed Twilight the Baltimare army card and the 12 units that came along with it giving her 32. After arranging her army and drawing a new card from the deck Twilight passed her turn.

For the next half an hour none of the players attacked just built impressively large armies to the point it was a Mexicolt Standoff. Halfway through this process Gilda and Applejack got bored and started playing cards. Applejack and Gilda were in the middle of 9th hand of poker with Gilda owing Applejack 112 bits when a knock was heard at the front door.

Pinkie looked up and was about to get the door when Gilda stood and waved for her to sit before going to the front door. Another set of knocks came when Gilda reached the door, she quickly asked the pony to give her a minute. When she opened the door she was greeted by the sight of Discord holding 4 pizza's and a bag of assorted alcohol.

“Wait a second. If your hands are full how did you knock on the door?” Gilda asked puzzled by how Discord had knocked on the door.

“You should know better than to ask a magician his tricks milady.” Discord chimed as he stepped past Gilda into the house. “Now; what are my favorite fillies doing?”

Gilda just shook her head at Discord dismissing his game as something unimportant. “Your favorite fillies as you call them are in the middle of that Battle for Equestria game, again. I'm currently in the middle of losing to Applejack at poker, but I'm gonna turn it around and get back every bit I just lost.”

Discord just chuckled at the fact that even he couldn't beat Applejack at poker. Which meant there was no way that Gilda was going to win. “Whatever you say Gilda. Have fun with that. Oh I better get in there and set these pizzas down before they get cold. You still like meat lovers pizza, right?” Discord asked as he walked into the living room.

“Yeah. But no anchovies this time. I hate anchovies.” Gilda said with a small shudder racking her frame. She closed the door locking it with the deadbolt. She then went back to her game with Applejack, losing terribly.

Discord looked around the group of his friends and shook his head. It seemed that whenever they had a night in together the Battle for Equestria game always made an appearance. Discord took a chance to look over the board noticing that they had built four large armies and were in a standoff of epic proportions. After setting the pizzas and large amount of alcohol down by Gilda and Applejack he moved to sit by Fluttershy and leaned over her shoulder looking at her hand.

Fluttershy noticed the presence of someone next to her, she slowly turned her head and was greeted by the sight of Discord which caused her to jump slightly. Fluttershy immediately squee'd before hugging Discord tightly. “Oh Discord I'm so glad to see you. I thought you weren't going to make it because of that thing with the princess?” Fluttershy asked before giving Discord a kiss on the cheek.

“She will understand my dear I told her that I would be spending tonight with my friends. She'll be fine I'll just reschedule it for a later date, although as I was leave the sound of the guards scrambling for cover proved she was upset about that.” Discord said as he wrapped Fluttershy in his arms and laid his head on top of hers.

“Discord you player, you. Dating Fluttershy and got a princess on the hook. One might say your trying to compete with me on who has the best princess.”Rainbow Dash teased as she raised an eyebrow in Discord's direction.

“Dashie! You shouldn't be so rude.” Twilight said while glaring at her marefriend. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes at the over the top reaction from Twilight.

“Don't worry Twilight I know Celestia and Discord are friends and Rainbow Dash is just teasing. Discord and I love each other very deeply and I know Celestia wouldn't get in the way of that.” Fluttershy said waving Twilight off before she buried her face in Discord's neck and whispered, ”If she did I would just CRUSH the life out of her anyways because Discord is MINE...”

All activity in the room suddenly stopped as everypony turned to look at Fluttershy so innocently buried in Discord's neck. Everyone was in disbelief at what Fluttershy had whispered but knew if worst came to worst it would most likely happen and be a lot more violent than anyone wanted to imagine. The room was deathly quiet for a few minutes as everyone tried to get the image of Flutter-rage being unleashed on Celestia out of their minds, all except maybe Discord.

Not that I would want Fluttershy to become that violent, but the thought of Celly getting her immortal backside kicked by my mare in a fit of jealousy is quite appealing, Discord thought as he scratched his chin as he briefly imagined the situation.

I so totally just didn't hear that, but it would be awesome and terrifying to see that fight go down, Rainbow Dash thought before she shook her head to rid herself of that image. “While that's awesome about Fluttershy and Discord's love, can we get back to this game that Pinkie and I were winning?”

Fluttershy lifted her head from Discord's neck, “What makes you think your winning? If you don't mind me asking that is.”

“I'd like to know that too Darling.” Rarity added as she turned to face Rainbow Dash.

“Now, Now Ladies there is no need to fight over who's winning as this game is now over since Fluttershy has the winning card in her and it seems its her turn now.” Discord said in factual tone.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie just laughed as the others looked on in disbelief at Discord's but Discord just smiled knowingly before he whispered some instructions in Fluttershy's ear. Fluttershy nodded then pick up the dice right before she played the card Discord had pointed out.

“I play the Discord of Chaos Exclaimed card, this card allows me to roll two dice and based on the number I roll I get an effect.” Fluttershy said as she got ready to roll the dice.

“Oh no, if she plays that card she could wipe all of us out this turn.” Twilight exclaimed before she looked thru her hand for card to stop Fluttershy but found nothing that would help.

“Ha, I knew this might happen so I held on to the False Start card just in case somepony tried this risky gamble for a win.” Rainbow Dash said with a laugh as she laid the card on the table. “Now Fluttershy you card is useless cause I negate its activation and you lost half your armies. But the downside is we lose Five units and six tokens on the horde engine.”

“That might be the case if I didn't have this card Dashie. I play the Elements of Harmony Reborn card, this allows me to negate any card played this turn and prevents any cards form other players from being played. Sorry for that but you still have pay activation cost of False Start. “Flutter informed Rainbow Dash before she rolled the dice getting two 5's. “I rolled a ten so I get the Discord of Requiem effect. All armies outside of the Tree of Harmony protection get reduced to only five units. Plus I get a boost in units equal to the the number of units lost divided by the number of players.” Fluttershy told everyone.

“No way! We just lost 400 units and our horde engine is destroyed.!” Rainbow Dash whined.

“No, no, no, no, no, no this can't be happening. I can't lose Ponyville and my castle before I free Canterlot from Rarity. What would Celestia think if I lost her home like this!?” Twilight said in a panic as she tried to find away out of this losing situation.

“Well it looks like Fluttershy's going to get 160 units add to her 300 units. That means she has more than enough units to attack all of us at once. She also will be able defend Cloudsdale should anything go wrong if she only sends half her army off to attack.” Rarity added before tossing her hair.” I do so hate losing my new boutique in Canterlot this soon, but fashion will solider on somehow.”

After a few rolls of the attack dice followed by so many apologize Fluttershy sweep across the board taking territory after territory until she had Twilight cornered in Ponyville. With pleading eyes Fluttershy asked Twilight to just give up but Princess of Friendship wasn't going down without a fight. It was a valiant effort on the Princess' part but in the end Fluttershy's army was just to large for Twilight to over come with just five units. In the end Fluttershy had won with just one card like Discord had said she would but Pinkie and Dash were taking it a bit hard.

It was a bittersweet ending for Fluttershy as it was her first win ever in Battle for Equestria and the first time Pinkie and Dashie had lost while using the Horde Engine. While she was happy with her win and the ability to chose the next game Fluttershy was still a bit sad that she had to make Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie admit defeat at one of their favorite games.

“Now that is over with and Fluttershy has our next choice of activity we should partake in the evening meal that Discord has so generously provided for us. There is an all veggie pizza this time, Discord?” Rarity asked as she got from the living room table and head for the dinning room table.

“Oh yes I didn't forget this time and I'm so sorry about the meat lovers pizza thing at our last get together. I mean I didn't know you would have fainting spell over the whole thing.” Discord replied as he got up with Fluttershy to get pizza.

“It's okay darling I forgave you as you didn't know that I had never had meat before or that I was allergic to real bacon. I didn't know that for that matter, so worry not.” Rarity told Discord as they all sat down to eat.

“Well that's the end of that Gilda and ya get away with only ownin' me 60 bits this time 'round.” Applejack said with a laugh as she put the playing cards away then pulled out a chair for Rarity to sit next to her.

“Yeah I know I'll settle up with ya after food. Don't think I'm losing to you again Applejack. I'm beginning to see a pattern in your betting and you do have a tell I just not sure if I have figured it out yet.”

“Well Ah'm look forward ta finally find someone that can actually beat me at poker. Even Discord loses his shirt ta me every time we play.” AJ laughed and she pointed a thumb at Discord.

“Oh that was just one time Applejack! I plan on winning that shirt back in the near future.” Discord said with a look of slight displeasure on his face.

“Good luck that 'cause Rarity loves me in that shirt and Ah plan on wearin' it real soon. Ah kind of like it as it makes my girls look real good. Aint that right, Rarity?” Applejack asked as she gave Rarity a knowing look.

“Applejack, darling, not outside the bedroom!” Rarity said with a deep blush on her face.

“You better not has stain my beloved shirt...” Discord paused for a moment as he thought about what Rarity and Applejack had just said about the shirt in question. “On second thought you can keep the shirt, I don't want it back.”

“Really? Ah was of half a mind ta just give back ta ya. Are ya sure ya don't want it back?” Applejack asked with a half smile.

“No, no just keep the shirt. Con... consider it a gift from me to you.” Discord said quickly as he shook nervously.

“That's awful nice of you Discord, are you sure you want to do that? I mean you did look really debonair in that shirt. It be a shame to lose it if you don't mind me saying.” Fluttershy told Discord softly.

“It's okay Fluttershy I can always get another just like it. After all its just a shirt.” Discord said nonchalantly as he wave off the subject of his lost one of a kind shirt. The true was it was the only shirt of its kind and could never be replaced. Made from fabric designed to resist pure chaos magic. A shirt that was nearly indestructible even by a being as powerful as Discord. Made from a formula that has since been lost to time.

Everyone had a good laugh at Discord's discomfort over the the lose of the shirt before everyone dug into the pizza and fixed drinks. Soon there was talk of the next activity to be had, Fluttershy had chosen to watch movies for the rest of the night. To everyone surprise Rainbow Dashed agreed as she cuddled up with Twilight on the loveseat as Rarity popped in Nightmare on Clover Way Part 3 Nightmare's Revenge into the dvd player.
