Twilight Sparkle lay on one of the cushions in the library, flat on her back, looking up at he ceiling.

Her thoughts were on what had happened only a few hours ago, at Fluttershy's.

(That was a educational experience... I want to learn more, but... Fluttershy is the only one I know... I don't know any stallions, or even colts. Spike is just a baby, so he's useless...) She let out a forlorn sigh.

“Hey Twi?” Spike called from across the table, a book in his nimble claws. “Are you alright?”

“I don't know Spike. I learned a rather interesting lesson in friendship today, and I can't get it out of my head.”

“Oh? That's what that letter to Princess Celestia was about? You usually have me write those.” His shoulders slumped a little.

“It was a... special lesson in friendship.” Twilight giggled.

Spike shrugged. “Well, are you going to tell me about it?”

Twilight blushed a little. “Um... no. It was a private lesson.”

“Oh?” Spike sensed potential teasing material. “Who was he?”

“He? What? There was no he.” Twilight flustered a little, a few strands of her mane going out of place.

“Oh, it was a she?”

“Spike. Drop it, please?”

Spike shook his head. “No way. You're telling me what happened. You've always told me, and I wanna know.”

“Well, you are not going to know.”

“Aww, come on Twi. I know you better than anypony else.” He chuckled. “So, did you go all the way?”

Twilight muttered something unpleasant under her breath as she got off her comfy cushion. “Just drop it.”

Spike snickered. “It was Fluttershy, wasn't it? You went up to her place this morning and you came home smelling like her shampoo.”

Twilight turned bright red. “Sp... Spike? How could you say that? I... we...” She was sputtering. (How in Celestia's name could Spike be so observant? Damn dragons and their being so smart...) “No gems for you, for a week.”

“What? That's no fair.” He frowned, very much unhappy. He had not expected his teasing to backfire.

“It's fair.” The red faced Twilight turned to leave, but a sudden belch from Spike told her a letter had arrived. She turned and saw Spike about to open it. “Spike, no.” She snatched it from her number one assistant. “This letter... I think it's a response to the lesson letter I sent to the Princess.”

“What's wrong? I already figured out you did something naughty with Fluttershy.”

“Two weeks.”

“What? How do you expect me to go Two weeks without any gems?”

“And I'll be telling Rarity to not give you any.”

Spike wanted to cry. “Fine... I'll drop it...” (Before I loose another week of gems... or worse, the rest of my life...)

Twilight took the letter up to her bedroom and locked the door behind her. She hopped up on her bed and unrolled it.

“Dear Twilight Sparkle.”
“I am glad you have learned such a fun little lesson. I can only hope it does not interfere with your regular studies. That aside, I have decided to send you a little something special. It should be arriving shortly, so you should go outside.”
“Yours truly, Princess Celestia of Equestria.”
“P.S. Follow the instructions you are given very carefully, or I may have to punish you.”

This time it was Twilight's turn to say “Wait... What?” She read the letter again. “Punish me? I don't get it...” She glanced out the window and spotted a Pegasus drawn chariot fly past. She rolled up the letter and stuffed it into her saddlebags. She threw that on and rushed outside.

“Spike, you have the library till I get back. Behave and I might let you have your gem privileges back.” She shut the door and approached the plain, unmarked chariot. The driver was not wearing anything that would look like royal armor.

“Twilight Sparkle?” The Pegasus Pony asked.

“That's me.”

“Special letter for you. It's in the chariot.”

Twilight nodded and hoped in. As she picked up the letter, the chariot took off quickly. She grinned and opened the letter.

“Dear Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight noticed all the letter 'i' were dotted with... hearts?

“You will be dropped off at a shop in Canterlot. There you will pick up a special order. Give your name and make no mention of me. The order has already been paid for. I await your arrival.”

“Yours truly, Tia.” The i in her name was also dotted with a little heart.

Twilight was suddenly feeling nervous. (Yours truly, Tia?) She gulped. She knew that was Luna's nickname for her sister. Still... For the Princess herself to sign her letter like this? Yea, nervous may be too light a word.

(Wait... Maybe she just wants me to tell her about this lesson in person... Oh no... This is going to be so embarrassing...)

She sat in the chariot, her mind racing with so many possibilities. Some were nice and innocent, but it was the really naughty ones that crushed and devoured those.

(I am so bucked...) Twilight twitched. (What was that saying? Prepare your anus? Yea... I don't see any way out of this... then again...) She suddenly brightened up. “Princess Celestia is so kind. She's never do anything like that.)

Her false sense of hope took a wrong turn at Albuckerque and promptly crawled under a rock before shooting itself in the head. Why? The chariot had just landed in from of a black windowed shop with a large red XXX on the front. The same XXX that had been on the packages Fluttershy's toys had come in.

(Bucked right up the ass...) She thought. “Um... it's THAT shop... Right?” Twilight pointed at the relatively safe looking book store across the street. She was sweating enough bullets to arm a small army.

The Pegasus shook his head and pointed at the XXX shop. “You have ten minutes before I leave. With, or without you.” His tone was rather stern.

Twilight gulped and started toward the shop. She stopped at the door and glanced back. The Pegasus pointed at the shop again.

“Nine minutes. You don't want to disappoint a certain somepony.”

Twilight hung her head and entered the shop. The very first thing she saw was a display with a REALLY big 'toy' called the Princess Pleaser. “Oh Em Cee!... That thing is huge!...”

“Oh indeed it is.” A Unicorn with a striking XXX on his hindquarters walked up. “Welcome to my little shop of pleasures. My name is Trip Elex, but you can call me Alex. How might I assist you?”

“Um... I'm here to pick up a package?”

“Name?”

“Mumble mumble...” She look down and away, avoiding both eye contact and trying not to look a any of the goods in the store.

“Twilight Sparkle? Alright. I just packed that order up.”

“You heard me?” Her eyes went wide.

“Of course. I have a mumble translator spell active at all times. I get so many shy customers after all.”

Twilight just stared as the good looking stallion went and fetched a rather large package.

“Will you need assistance getting this out to your chariot?” Alex asked, a friendly smile on his face, and an odd twinkle in his eye.

“Uh, no. I got this.” Twilight levitated the plain wrapped package and left the shop. She deposited it on the chariot before hopping in. “All done...” Twilight sighed as the chariot took off toward the castle.

The Pegasus pilot and chariot landed a short distance in a small treed clearing. “This is as far as I take you Miss. Sparkle.”

Twilight nodded and levitated the package again. She then headed up toward the castle.

As she approached, she saw the guards. (Oh no... they're going to want to search the package... I should just throw myself off this cliff and save myself the embarrassment...) Still, as she approached, the guards did nothing to stop her passage. They didn't even look at her. Not even Celestia could guess at just how relieved and confused Twilight was at this moment.

Twilight was well beyond nervous now. She was downright scared. (What if she wants me to do... that or that... or THAT?) Thoughts of the things she had done with Fluttershy passed through her head. She eyed the package and wondered what was in it.

(Please be something not perverted... or maybe it's just massage oils. Or blank scrolls... Yea, that sounds safe. I just hope there's no Princess Pleaser in that thing. That thing's a monster. I'd die if that was ever used on me. I'd die if it fell on me.) That was a bit of an exaggeration, but Twilight was quite scared for her life at the moment.

Well, not her life, but she had heard some unflattering 'stories' about Princess 'Molestia' from time to time. She KNEW they had to be fabrications. There was simply no way the Princess could be some insane sex fiend who yelled "Prepare your anus" at her subjects.

What if the Princess DID want to do those things? What if Twilight seriously bucked up? (I'm doomed... I am literally royally bucked in the ass...)

“Twilight Sparkle?” One of Celestia's personal hoof maidens approached. A Unicorn with a bright sunny yellow coat and bright blue mane and tail. Her dress covered her back and sides, as well as her cutie mark.

“Um... yes?” She squeaked.

“The Princess requests your presence.”

“I know... I know where the throne room is.” Twilight gulped as the hoof maiden giggled. “What's so funny?”

“I am to escort you to the Princess's private chambers.” She turned and started walking. “Come along now Miss. Sparkle.”

Twilight's legs were shaking as she followed the Unicorn. (Private chambers? I shouldn't have sent that letter... what WAS I thinking...) Twilight was so nervous and her mind was full of thoughts that were making this situation a most nerve wracking one.

“Here we are Miss. Sparkle.” The Unicorn smiled. “Have fun.” She whispered into Twilight’s ear before leaving.

Twilight just stood there, looking at the beautifully carved door. White wood with Princess Celestia's cutie mark engraved into it, then inlay with gold and mother of pearl.

“Come on in Twilight.” Celestia's voice came through the door, shaking Twilight from her thoughts.

(Here we go...) Twilight pushed the door open and entered, floating the package along behind her.

Twilight took in the sight of the room. With a large bed in the center, a single large mirror on one wall, a dresser, bookshelf, and a desk. Other than a few portraits of herself, Luna and another couple of Alicorn she didn't recognize, the room was actually quite simple in its elegance.

“P... Princess...”

“Tia.”

“What?”

“Call me Tia.” Tia smiled a kind and gentle smile. Her horn glowed and the door closed quietly behind Twilight, clicking shut. That click was as loud as a dungeon door slamming shut and locking to Twilight.

“T-T-Tia... I... Um... Why am I here?”

Tia laughed her most delightful of laughs. “Oh Twilight, you don't have to be so nervous or afraid. Come here. Let's open this package and see what it holds. Place it on the bed here.” She crawled onto the bed and stretched out.

Twilight levitated the somewhat heavy package over and set it on the bed. She stayed on the floor.

“Come now. You needn't be afraid. Come, lay with me.”

Twilight was getting the dreaded feeling she was about to be raped, and by her most beloved teacher and Princess. She resigned herself and crawled up as well. She was amazed at how soft, fluffy and comfortable the bed was. “Is... is this a cloud bed?”

“Indeed it is. Do you like it?”

“It feels wonderful.” Twilight relaxed a little, snuggling into the cloud bed that made her feel almost... safe..

“I'm happy to hear that. I'll have one made and sent to the library as soon as I can.”

Twilight blinked. “You don't have to...”

Tia shook her head a little. “I would be insulted if you didn't accept.” She smiled, one that almost reminded Twilight of Fluttershy's smile this very morning. Mind you, perhaps she was just seeing things and it was simply Celestia's ever fond smile.

“I.. Thank you Prin... Tia.” Twilight smiled nervously.

“Let's open this up.” Tia used her magic and peeled the paper away, like a foal opening her Winter Moon Festival presents.

The box was a plain, unmarked wooden box, which opened easily.

Twilight closed her eyes, blushing. (It's toys or something like that...)

“Oh wonderful. I'm so glad they arrived. Twilight? Open your eyes.”

Twilight opened them and gasped. “Books?” A dozen books to be exact. She picked one up and her eyes went wide. “These are magic books.” (I'm not going to get raped. Oh most wonderful of days.)

“Yes, and they are all yours.” Tia smiled. “You're lessons in magic and friendship have progressed far enough that you deserve these books and the lessons that go with them.”

“I... Oh thank you Tia.” Twilight wanted to hug the Princess, but the bed was just too comfy for her to want to move.

“Shall we teach you your first advanced spell?”

“Oh yes please.” Twilight’s eyes lit up.

“You'll love this one.” She opened a book and let Twilight read the spell title.

Twilight’s smile cracked. “Gender Switch?” (Oh no...)

Celestia's smile was one that we all know (and quite possibly fear). “Cast it on me.”
