Pink

Twilight slowly made her way towards Sweet Apple Acres, rubbing her left arm with her right hand. Heading down the trail, she soon arrived at the entrance to the farm. Upon entering, she spotted Applejack leaving the orchard with a wheelbarrow full of apples. When their eyes met, the farm mare smiled and set the wheelbarrow down, waving to her.

Twilight smiled lightly and began approaching the barn. As she did, AJ continued to wheel to apples into the barn. Setting it down, she pulled off her hat and wiped her forehead. Letting out an accomplished sigh, she looked over as Twilight entered the barn.

"What can I do ya for, sugarcube?" The orange mare asked, hanging her hat on a handle on the wheelbarrow.

Twilight hesitated as she leaned against the wall. "Pinkie... She has confirmed that... she's the killer..."

Applejack went wide-eyed. "Excuse me?"

The unicorn eyed her and let out a deep sigh. "I went into her basement and found... files... about all the murder victims," she explained. "She had their method of murder written down. She has the bartender's fingers in her fridge. And, she told me why she kills..."

Applejack hesitated in thought before leaning against her wheelbarrow. "That's... pretty condemning..." she said, shaking her head. "I just can't believe it's Pinkie..."

Twilight sniffled and wiped her eyes. "E-Everything's over... Our future together... Our family... Everything..."

"There's only one problem, now," AJ said, crossing her arms. "Pinkie is loved by everyone. Helping drunk mares home, helping old mares with their groceries... throwing everyone's birthday party, as well as the princess'... You'll need more than a confession to put her away."

Nodding, Twilight leaned her head back. "But... I love her, Applejack. I wish more than anything for her to... stop, so we can... run away together... Just us and Scootaloo..." She then covered her eyes and sniffled. "Oh, Scoots... This would destroy her..."

"Yeah, this will be hard," AJ nodded. "You just have to do what's right. What you feel is right."

"What I feel?" Twilight asked, closing her eyes. "I don't know what I feel anymore... All the decisions in my life, up to this point, have been obvious. I've always known what to do, but... Now? If I turn Pinkie in, I lose everything I've ever wanted... If I don't, someone else will die and it'll be my fault..."

As the purple mare began crying into her hands, Applejack slowly stepped up to her and put her right hand on the side of the mare's neck. "We'll be here for you, whatever you choose..." she said, before hugging the mare close. Twilight pulled her hands away from her eyes before tightly hugging back. "If it were me..." AJ continued. "I'd turn her in."

Nodding, Twilight sniffled and pulled back from the hug. "I know it's what I should do..."

"You'd still have Scootaloo," AJ pointed out. "She's gonna need someone when Pinks is in prison."

The unicorn gave her a questioning look. "When?"

"I have faith in you," the farm mare replied with a wink. "You'll find what you need."

Twilight could already feel the knives in her heart as she forced a smile. "I already had what I needed..." she said, before turning and walking away from her friend.

Applejack stayed where she was as she watched the purple mare leave her farm. "Oh, Twilight... I hope this works out for ya..."

Twilight's path back to the library took her by Sugarcube Corner. As she did, she saw Pinkamena and Scootaloo. They were sitting on the front steps as Pinkie put a band-aid on Scootaloo's knee. Afterwards, she said something to her before giving her a kiss on the forehead. The filly giggled before getting up and grabbing her scooter. As she rode off, Pinkamena stood up with a smile.

Soon, she noticed Twilight, but didn't move. Instead, her smile faded as the two mares just stared at each other. Then, to Twilight's surprise, the pink mare hung her head and turned around, heading back inside the shop. Twilight hadn't seen the mare this sad before. Usually, she'd run over and hug her, acting all lovey-dovey. Was it all true? Did the pink mare really care about her?

"What can I do?" She asked herself, rubbing her eyes as she turned and walked away, heading back to the marketplace. Arriving at the fountain, she sat down on the edge and let out a sigh. "Dammit..." she sniffled, hanging her head.

"Well, you seem troubled," a familiar voice said.

Twi looked up to see Rarity sit down beside her. "Oh... Hi, uh... Rarity?" She said questioningly, getting a nod from the white unicorn. "Yeah, I'm... going through some stuff..."

"Some stuff?" Asked Rarity. "Care to share?"

"You wouldn't believe me," Twilight replied with a shake of her head. "But... what would do if there was something you knew you had to do... but, in doing so, would ruin your life?"

Rarity gave her a confused look. "Um... Something you have to do?"

"If someone you loved was breaking the law, what would you do?" Twi asked again, this time being more specific.

"Well, it would hurt, but I would... turn them in," the white mare replied, before tilting her head. "Is that what's... happening with you?"

After hesitating for a second, Twilight let out a sigh. "Just... similar..." she said, before standing up. "I'll, uh... see you later..."

As she walked away, Rarity stood up. "Yes, uh... Feel better, darling!" She called after her.

Later that night...

Pinkamena gave Scootaloo a kiss goodnight before leaving the filly's bedroom. After, she made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Stopping by the knife drawer, she hesitated for a few seconds before pulling it open. After staring at the knives for a moment or two, she grabbed the drawer and began breathing heavily. With a yell of frustration, she pulled the drawer out and threw it across the room. The knives all clattered to the floor as the drawer lay against the wall.

Dropping to her knees, the pink mare tried to calm her breathing as she wiped her eyes. Sniffling, she crawled over to the knives and began putting them back in the drawer. As she quickly picked them out, she felt the blade of one cut her thumb. Letting out a sigh of annoyance, she held her thumb up to watch a drop of blood leak out, followed by more and more.

Picking up the full drawer, she set it on the counter top before running her thumb under some cool water. As she waited for the bleeding to stop, she thought about Twilight. Could she kill her if she had to? Could she, herself, actually stop killing to make her happy? Was she too far gone to stop now?

Letting out a sigh, she looked over at the drawer of knives. Turning off the water, she opened one of the upper cabinets and pulled out a bandage. Putting it on her finger, she closed the cabinet and let out another sigh. Eyeing the knife drawer once more, she closed her eyes in thought. Opening them, she looked out the window above the sink and saw someone sitting on the shop's front steps.

Pinkie squinted her eyes to try and see who it was, but found it hard to see through the rain. Leaving the kitchen, she made her way to the front door, opening it. Taking a step out, she let out a silent gasp when she saw Twilight sitting on the steps. "Twilight?" She asked, making the mare look back at her. "What are you doing out here in the rain?"

The unicorn stood up and turned to face her, standing in the rain. "I-I can... give you something better..." she said, wiping her eyes.

Pinkamena found it hard to see due to the rain, but upon closer look she noticed the mare had been crying. "Twilight, what are you--"

"Just... please, stop..." the purple unicorn whimpered, sniffling as she hugged herself. "J-Just, st-stop..."

The pink mare stared at her for a few seconds, wanting to do anything to make her happy. Taking a couple more steps forward, she held out her hand. "Get out of the rain, Twilight... Come on..."

The unicorn hesitated before taking a step forward onto the first step. Reaching out, she took the pink mare's hand. Sniffling, she quickly walked up the stairs and tightly hugged the earth pony. "Please... I want to be with you... You and Scootaloo... I... I-I don't want you... g-going to prison..."

Pinkamena let out a soft gasp before wrapping her arms around the soaking wet mare. "Oh, Twilight..." she sighed, a tear falling from her eye. "I have a lot of friends... and a lot of ponies who care about me, but... never like you..." Tightening her own hug, she nuzzled Twilight's cheek. "How long were you sitting in the rain?"

"A-An hour... o-or two..." Twi shuddered.

"Shit, come on..." Pinks said, pulling Twilight towards the open door. "Come inside. We'll get you out of those wet clothes before you catch a cold."

Nodding, the unicorn followed Pinkie inside before the earth pony closed the door. Once in, Pinkamena led Twilight up the stairs to the bathroom to run her a warm bath. The whole time, the unicorn shuddered as water dripped from her mane. When they got to the bathroom, Pinkamena turned the water on in the tub, making sure it was running warm water.

Turning to Twilight, she gently grabbed the bottom of her shirt. "Arms up," she said.

Twilight shakily raised her arms above her head so the pink mare could pull her soaking wet shirt off. Setting the shirt on the toilet, she went to go undo the unicorn's bra. Hesitating, she looked Twilight in the eyes. Twilight met her stare, before slowly reaching behind her back and undoing her own bra. Smiling lightly, Pinkamena pulled the bra off and tossed it with the wet shirt. When Pinkie grabbed Twilight's shorts, the purple mare did nothing. Eyeing her, Pinkamena pulled her pants and panties down. Lifting up each foot one at a time, Twilight allowed for her shorts to be removed.

Now, standing fully naked, Twilight hugged herself and shivered more. Smiling, Pinkie helped her to the tub. Leaning in, Pinkamena tested the water. Finding it an appropriately warm temperature, Pinkamena nodded and plugged the drain. As the tub began filling up, Twilight stepped in and Pinkie helped her lie down. Sighing happily, Twilight slid all the way in and watched the water filling up.

Sitting on the edge of the tub, Pinkamena faced the wall, her back to the tub. "I'm sorry I'm this way, Twilight... I wish I could take everything back and have a do-over... Spend the rest of my life with you and Scoots... And, I wasn't lying about my feelings for you. Sure, it helps me by making you care about me, but... it was never about that." Hanging her head, she let out a deep sigh. "Seems we're both stuck on what to do."

Twilight slowly sat up and shut the water off, the tub being just about as full as it needed to be. She then wrapped her arms around the pink mare and rested her cheek on her back. "You could turn yourself in..."

Pinks shook her head. "They'd never let me see Scoots again, let alone you... I can't lose you both..."

"Neither can I," Twi replied.

Pinkamena hesitated in thought, before looking back at Twilight. The unicorn shot her a light smile, getting a smile in return. The pink mare slowly pulled off her slightly wet shirt, tossing it aside. As usual, she wasn't wearing a bra. Standing up, she slid out of her pants, kicking them over with her shirt.

Turning around, she smiled as she showed her body off to the unicorn. "Just like when we showered together, huh?" She asked, Twilight smiling and laying on her back.

Pinks climbed into the tub and laid down atop the unicorn. Leaning in, she kissed Twilight on the lips as their breasts squished together. The purple mare placed her hands on the pink mare's back as the two moaned into the kiss. Eyes closed, the two simply relaxed into the kiss, enjoying the feeling of the other pressed against them.

Soon, the pink mare broke the kiss and smiled down at the unicorn. "Warm enough yet?"

Twilight nodded with a blush. "Mm-hmm..."

"Good," Pinks said, sitting up. "Shall we move this to the bedroom?"

The purple unicorn nods with a light smile. "Okay..." she replied shyly.

Pinkamena climbed out of the tub and grabbed a towel. "Come on," she coos, holding her hand out.

Twilight got to her feet and took the pink mare's hand. Smiling, she stepped out of the tub before she was wrapped up with the towel. The pink mare then began rubbing the unicorn's body with the towel.

"I-I can dry myself," Twi said with a light chuckle.

"I know..." Pinks replied, slowly stopping and pulling the towel away. "It's just, uh..."

"Your motherly instincts?" The unicorn asked with a light smirk.

Pinkamena eyes the floor with a smile. "Perhaps..."

"I saw you with Scootaloo earlier," Twilight said, stepping up to the earth pony and placing her right hand on the pink mare's shoulder.

Pinkie exhaled softly. "Right... Well, she doesn't see me as a... mother..."

"Really?" Twilight asked, confused. "After everything you've done for her?"

"If she does, she hasn't called me mother..." Pinks explained. "Just Pinkie... or Pinks..."

"I'm sure she loves you as a mother," Twilight said, before resting her head on the pink mare's right shoulder. As she did, she gently rubbed Pinkie's left breast. "There is something I'd like to ask you, though..."

"Sure," Pinkamena said as she slid her right hand to Twilight's butt. "What?"

"Why do you kill?" The unicorn asked, rubbing her thumb over the pink mare's nipple. "Can't you stop?"

Sighing deeply, the pink mare tilted her head back. "Think of it like... a drug..." she explained, gripping the purple butt. "It's something that... feels good... to me... and, there was one night where I chose not to kill with fear of being found out... but, I woke up the next day, and... I guess I had blacked out and killed someone..." Letting out a chuckle, she looked down at the unicorn. "If I'm gonna black out and kill someone anyway... I may as well do it while awake so I can enjoy it, right?" The unicorn shot her a highly concerned and frightened look, making the pink mare's smile fade. "Sorry..."

"I love you... Pinkie," Twilight said softly, a year falling from her eye. "But, there's no point in trying to stop you, is there?" She asked, more tears falling down her cheeks. "Y-You're never going to stop... A-Are you?"

Pinkie looked the mare in the eyes, her heart feeling like it was about to shatter in a million pieces. "Twilight... I..."

The unicorn pulled away from her and turned her back to her. Crossing her arms, Twilight let out a sad sigh. "You know... when we first met... and I saw you and Scootaloo..." She sniffled, before she hugged herself. "I thought to myself that this was a family I'd like to... be a part of... s-some day... a-and, uh..." Whimpering, she sniffled as tears fell from her cheeks. "I-I don't think that... that will ever happen... Every fiber of my being tells me that I should turn you in, evidence or no evidence... That, if I let you remain free, more and more ponies will die..." Dropping to her knees, Twilight broke down and just cried.

Pinkamena was just staring at her, not able to comprehend what was happening or what she heard. Killing came so easy to her and she took sick pleasure in it. Love was something she never experienced, yet always wondered what it was like. Now, she had to choose. Doing what she loved... or doing who she loved.

Slowly walking up behind the unicorn, Pinkamena knelt down and just listened to the crying. Closing her eyes, she let out a sad sigh of her own. Leaning in, she gently wrapped her arms around the crying mare and nuzzled the back of her neck. "What if I... What if I stop?"

Twilight slowly looked over her shoulder at her. "I-Is that even possible?"

Pinks smiled lightly, getting on all fours and crawling around to the front of the unicorn. "For you?" She asked, getting to her knees once more. "I'll make it possible..."

Twilight resumed her crying, though it was more of a happy crying now. Leaning forward, she rested her head on Pinkie's chest. The pink mare smiled and hugged her, nuzzling the top of her head. The two sat on the floor for what seemed like minutes before Pinkie spoke once more.

"Shall we move this to the bedroom now?" She asked, rubbing Twilight's back.

Nodding, the unicorn sniffled as her crying slowly died down. "Y-Yeah..."

Helping Twilight to her feet, Pinkamena gathered their clothes and began leading Twilight to the bathroom door. Opening it, she looked out towards Scootaloo's room. Seeing that the coast was clear, she led Twilight out into the hall and to her bedroom. Opening the door, Twilight stepped in, followed by the pink mare. Closing the door, Pinkamena tossed the clothes to the floor before looking at Twilight.

"Come here," Pinks said, moving to Twilight and taking her hand. "Let's get some sleep."

A light smile spreading across her face, Twilight followed Pinkamena to the bed. Climbing under the covers, Twilight scooted to the other side of the bed so the pink mare could get in. Once Pinkamena was under the covers and in a comfortable position, she turned on her side to face the unicorn. Smiling, her hand slid over Twilight's leg, heading for her pussy.

"P-Pinkie?" Twilight asked, somewhat nervously.

"Shh..." the pink mare cooed. "It's to help you relax... Or, would you prefer a sleeping pill?"

Twilight let out a tired chuckle and nodded. "Please continue..."

Smiling seductively, Pinkamena began to gently rub the purple pussy, watching Twilight's facial expressions as she moaned. She could feel the unicorn's wet juices leaking out and licked her lips. She knew she had to taste that tomorrow. As Twilight moaned out, she gripped the sheets tightly and closed her eyes. Deciding to go further, Pinkie pushed two fingers in and began rubbing the inner walls.

"Oh, P-Pinkie!" Twilight gasped, letting out a stifled moan. It was clear she was trying to keep quiet to avoid waking Scootaloo.

"Feel free to cum whenever you want," Pinkamena sang, continuing to move her fingers around inside the dripping pussy of her marefriend.

"B-But, the... the bed sheets," Twilight moaned. "I-I'll get them wet..."

The pink mare let out a chuckle and sped up her rubs. "So what? Afraid to sleep in your own juices?" Leaning in further, she licked the mare's neck. "I'm not... Now, cum for me... I wanna see your face as you do..."

Eyeing her, Twilight panted heavily before arching her back slightly. What started out as a few squeaks soon turned into a loud moan, her juices splashing over Pinkie's fingers and soaking the sheets. Licking her lips, Pinkamena pumped her fingers, making wet sloshing noises as she wanted to milk Twilight of all she had.

Soon, Twilight fell limp in a panting mess of juices and sweat. "Wow..."

Pinkamena chuckled and pulled her fingers out of the unicorn and brought them up to her face. "Mmm... So wet... And, you smell so good..." Twilight eyed her, watching the pink mare taste her orgasmic juices. "Mmm, Twilight," Pinks moaned, licking her fingers. "You taste good..." Seeing Twilight blush, Pinkamena chuckled and hugged her close, nuzzling her cheek. "Good night, sexy..."

Twilight panted more and nodded, closing her eyes. "G... Good night..." she said, feeling extremely exhausted.

Closing her eyes, Twilight felt herself drift off to sleep in the arms of her pink lover.
