When Moondancer next woke up, she found herself laying in what had to be the most luxurious bed, save for a cloud one, that she had ever been in. The room around her was done in various shades of black, silver, and violet. About ten photographs of various mares and stallions littered the room, and a nearby make-up dresser was devoid of all the usual creams or powders, proffering a simple mirror instead.

“Hrm, not...the worst place I’ve woken up in,” Moondancer said aloud as she sat up. “The hell happened?”

Around that time, the door opened, and a familiar changeling walked in. A familiar, small changeling. But there had been something about her...something that tickled at the back of Moondancer’s mind. Something related to why she’d passed out, maybe?

“Oh good!” the nymph chirped as she pulled in a tray with a pitcher of water and two glasses on it into the room. “I was worried about how long you would be out. Fortunately, it seems ponies are inclined to faint at the sight of a changeling. Otherwise I would take offense.”

“The hell?” Moondancer looked around as her horn lit up with a long-range scanning spell. “Where did Chrysalis go?”

“She’s not here, silly,” the nymph giggled as she put the water on a nearby nightstand. “I dunno why you’d think otherwise.” Internally, though, she winced. Maybe...maybe this mare was better let go than slept with…

And she’d been so nice once she opened up...

“But...I was talking with that Violet changeling...then she transformed...” She frowned as she cast her memory spell. She hated wasting that useful study-session, but this answer was more important. Her eyes glazed over and if one watched extra closely, you could see the memory play out in her eyes like a mirror.

“No...” she said in a neutral tone. “Not...Chrysalis...different.”

With a hopeful glimmer, the nymph verbally prodded the mare. “Oh? Different how?”

“Colour...shape...” A smallest of smiles crossed her face. “Cuter too~”

A soft, violet glow covered the nymph, returning her to her birth form of a noble. She opened her eyes and waited for Moondancer to look upon her again...and hopefully not pass out this time.

The memory spell played out, it was dreadfully short, even as it played in slow-motion. When Moonie blinked to clear her vision and looked up, her breath hitched, but she didn’t faint this time. ‘No, not Chrysalis...’ She took a deep breath and swept her hoof out from her chest. “Okay, calm. Think of fractals, flowcharts, flashcards....ahhh, better.” She looked upon the royal Changeling with a more critical eye.

“Yup, definitely cuter than Chrysalis.”

It was then that Moondancer learned that changelings can blush. It was interesting, seeing red appear on chitin. “Aww, you’re just saying that,” the nymph said with a wave of her hoof as she tried to get her blush to die down.

Oh, now this was interesting. Perhaps she had no reason to fear after all. ‘Besides, if she tries anything funny, I’ll teleport her into the desert.’

Moondancer wiggled herself off of the bed and stepped closer, now inspecting the royal ‘ling with a scrutinising gaze. But it felt different this time, more...intimate.

“Nice, shapely legs. A firm flank.” This was punctuated by a soft squeeze of said flank. “And rather beautiful eyes. And I bet the lovely Lady is just as pretty on the inside as well~”

The noble ‘ling blushed harder...and then she quickly drew Moondancer in and kissed her.

Kissed her quite passionately. There wasn’t just some tongue, there was all the tongue, in her mouth. The hooves of the ‘ling kept caressing Moondancer’s spine as she held the smaller mare close.

AChangelingQueeniskissingmeeeee! Moondancer’s head was a whirlwind of emotion. Her logical side tried to process this as just another encounter. The less rational side was being just that. Less rational.

She...tastes kinda nice…

Eventually, despite both of their wishes, the ‘ling had to come up for air, and broke the kiss. Still holding Moondancer close, she softly whispered her question into the mare’s ears.

Are you still up for that...examination, poppet?

Moondancer gulped as she looked around. Midnight was never going to believe this. Still...

“What the hay,” she muttered as she leapt at the mare and pinned her to the bed. The nymph giggled and reached up to draw Moondancer into another kiss, waiting until after it was broken to tell her something special.

“You see these pictures?” the Lady asked the pony. “They were all ponies that knew a little bit about who and what I was...and stayed anyways. They didn’t know anything about who I really was. I’m going to have to get a big picture frame for you~”

“I guess I should be honoured,” Moondancer smiled. She also had something. A collection of small crystals that she could store memories in. “Guess I could say the same... Still...” Gah! She felt like a bloody, blushing virgin all over again. “Sorry, I’m usually much more confident. This is just so weird...”

“You’re not the first one to say that, dear,” the Lady replied, reaching up with a hoof to caress Moondancer’s face. “Though, you are the first one to take charge of the situation after you learned what the situation is, so kudos to you on that one~”

“Well, this situation is unusual for me, so I think I’ll just roll with it,” she giggled as her horn caused a few candles to wink out. In the low light, the nymph’s eyes had an ethereal shine to them, it was quite lovely. “Hmm, I’m beginning to see what Little Bat sees in your kind.”

“We do try,” the nymph said as she trailed a hoof down Moondancer’s neck, lightly caressing several spots in quick succession. If done right, it should be like a quick bolt of pleasure to the brain...

Moondancer yelped in surprise and then gave a deep, pleasured moan. Okay, she needed to learn that trick for later.

Okay! Time for science!

Moonie figured that the thick chitin would be more difficult to feel things through.

But this mare seemed to possess a rather soft looking belly~ The Unicorn grinned as she trailed a few kisses down the Violet’s neck and chest, until she reached that belly, giving her a few ticklish kisses. The nymph giggled and squirmed a little at the attention.

“None of my paramours have done that for me,” the nymph said after calming down a little. “Paid attention to what I like more than I paid attention to them. It’s...a nice change.” One hoof ran through Moondancer’s mane then as the nymph basked in the emotions of the moment.

"Mmmm, then you're in for a real treat then~♥" Sugar could swear she could hear the love hearts in that sentence. Moondancer silenced a few more candles as she got comfortable. Time to show this queen that Cadence wasn't the only Princess of Love~

“Oh little mare...you’re in for your greatest challenge with me,” the nymph said as she trailed a hoof down her spine, before pressing a spot just above her tail. “I’m a noble Violet, heir apparent to the throne. I know a few tricks. And I’m the only one that can claim to have out-lasted Fredrick when he still slept around-” Her spiel was cut off as Moondancer kissed her this time, eliciting another blush from the nymph.

"Hee hee, you're cute when you blush, " Moondancer giggled.

“Time for me to return the favor~” the changeling sang as she stroked Moondancer’s flanks...before lightly pinching her Cutie Mark. The mare yelped again, her blush quite visible under her snow-white fur.

"You...remind me a little too much of Midnight,” Moon said with a light giggle. "Though, that's not necessarily a bad thing."

“We’ve been trying to get that mare in here so we can do our own book on her,” Sugar said as she nibbled at Moondancer’s ears. “But I think we can put it off for as long as you’re capable of distracting me~”

Moondancer smirked at the nymph. “Do you want to know how I know that cute little bat?”

“Maybe later,” the nymph replied to the mare. “Right now, I’m more interested in you~” A small, tender kiss was planted on the mare’s horn. “You and all the things you think you can do to me~”

“Oh, I know what I can do,” Moondancer purred as she sighed at the kiss. Her horn was a weak spot for her, especially if she was channeling magic at the time. “The question is... Can. You. Last?” Each word was said as she kissed the nymphs neck.

“Seeing as you don’t know much about ‘lings and their weak spots and are learning on the fly,” the nymph said back with a smirk as she licked the horn like she would if she were entertaining a stallion. “I think I can.” The nymph smacked her lips as she tasted the flavor she’d gathered. For some reason, Unicorns and their horns tasted a bit like sugar. Not that she ever complained~

“Well, perhaps I can change that?” she inquired. A few minutes ago, her eyes had noticed a book on the shelf and now was the time to see how far she could take this. With a small flash, the book was in her lap and she flipped rapidly through the pages, her horn and eyes glowing before she put the book down and a wicked smile crossed her face.

“How nice of you to put this in Equestrian for me~”

“Somepony’s a quick study,” the noble nymph teased. “And I think you’re one of the few to read and understand it. Why don’t you take the final exam on your knowledge?”

“Hmm, while I know it for now, my memory spell will wear off and I’ll forget it by tomorrow. But right now? I think I’ll aim for an A plus!” She dove onto the nymph and pinned her to the bed, her tongue already licking the nymphs horn lavishly as one of her hooves traced along the lines in her chitin, moving to where it was thinnest.

The nymph moaned in response, enjoying the affection she was being shown and electing to just lay back and take it for now. She’d usually been the aggressive one in her relationships, so having somepony else be so willing to take charge like this was a welcome change for her. Already she was thinking of ways to pay the mare back~

Moondancer was far from done though. A changeling’s wings were a no-go, too fragile. And their tough chitin made it so other erogenous zones could barely be felt.

But there was something to be said for psychological warfare.

“The things I am going to do to you~” Moondancer purred in a tone that most Violets would call arousing. “A mare knows a mare better than any stallion. Which buttons to press-” A brief press against her clit, which ended all too quickly. “-Or what to tease~” A soft kiss against her lips, like the touch of a butterfly. Sugar barely restrained herself in reaction to those touches.

Barely. She still managed to whisper back as she trailed a hoof along those bits of the mare she could still reach. “Oh, you have no idea what I will do to you in turn,” the changeling said before pushing one spot lightly above the mare’s dock. It was probably cheating to use this knowledge, but she’d never played fair to begin with.

Moondancer gave a low moan and a few droplets of moisture landed on the nymphs belly.

“Ooohhhh, what was that?” she purred in a husky tone. She would have to remember that one.

“Pressure point,” the nymph said simply before pushing at a few on her hind legs. This one would have the unfortunate side effect of making her weak-kneed while it delivered its pleasure, but it would still work~

“N-Not fair,” Moondancer moaned as she collapsed on top of the ‘ling. “Ohh, so you want to play dirty huh?” The noble’s thick chitin protected her...from physical motions any way. Moondancer wondered what would happen if she did...this!

Sugar suddenly found certain places of hers, like the back of her neck and her hindquarters... vibrating? The nymph moaned again at being stimulated like this. This was a new sensation for her. Most ‘lings and ponies wouldn’t think of trying anything like this! Their chitin was thick enough to deaden most sensations, and most didn’t want to try the finicky motions necessary to stimulate the body underneath the armor.

“Ooooh, that’s definitely something I’ll have to remember as well,” the nymph purred. She shakily raised a hoof and used it to caress that fine flank before rubbing at the cutie marks on either one.

“Mmm, that’s nice,” Moon sighed, her head clearing a little after that last pressure-point assault. She decided to target a different area with her magic this time, a place she had been painfully neglecting since they started. But instead of going directly for it, she only stimulated the area around it.

‘“Tease,” Sugar accused, before deciding to follow suit in her own fashion. One chitinous hoof rubbed at those lips, but never touched the mare’s clit, and never did more than rub. She wanted to see just how quickly and with how little effort she could get the mare off with.

“You’ll have to try harder that that,” Moon said with a smirk. At that word, a powerful buzz filled Sugar’s innermost area, loud enough to actually hear. The nymph bucked her hips at the sensation, not unfamiliar with the idea, but with the intensity!

“Ooooh HIVES! Don’t make me...pull out everything on you, miss! I know...ways to cause...too much pleasure!” the nymph threatened.

“That sounds like a threat, or maybe a promise~” Moondancer purred, nibbling on her ear as she let out bursts of that buzz. The vibrations sending shivers along her chitin as Moondancer switched to licking her horn again, only this time? She touched their horns together first, feeding magic into it and making oh so sensitive~

The nymph shuddered, spasmed, and finally surrendered her first orgasm of their session, coming with a low moan as the sheets were soaked. “Ooooh...first time I’ve...had magic used...on me so well,” Sugar said after coming down from her high.

“It is my special talent, among others,” Moondancer purred as she lay back and showed off her own soaked marehood. “Now how about you be a good little mare and make good on that promise hmm?”

“Mm,” Sugar said as she rolled to her hooves and shakily walked over...to connect horns with Moondancer again. “There’s a reason I’m considered the heir apparent, dear,” the nymph warned before firing up a spell of her own making.

At it’s core, it was a feedback loop. What it fed back, though, was interesting. Sugar had taken a simple infinite loop and applied it to emotions and sensations. She fed the pleasure Moondancer had just brought her to into the loop, then wrapped the mare up in the spell and let it loose.

“What are you-” That was all Moondancer got, before her eyes shot open and she howled in pleasure, her climax making Sugar’s look like nothing. The mare shook with pleasure as she coated the sheets in her essence, her eyes rolling back into her head as she groaned and shook, the unending pleasure sending her to new heights of euphoria.

Sugar watched this for a minute, enjoying the show and even pulling a camera over to take a picture of the mare like she had for all the others...before leaning down and applying extra stimulation. In the form of licking and sucking at those folds with her fangs and tongue.

Moondancer’s horn suddenly erupted in a powerful light as a shower of colourful sparks shot from it. It had been...well, since Midnight actually, that anypony had gotten a magical reaction like that from Moondancer.

“Mmm, and with that, I think I can alter the spell on you, dear,” Sugar said as she stood back up and licked her lips, tasting the mare and finding it to her liking. With another quick cross of their horns, the old spell was removed and a new one put in its place. Now instead of experiencing infinite pleasure, Moondancer would merely be...highly sensitive to touch. “Let’s see how long you last with this spell, poppet~” Sugar teased before running one hoof down Moondancer’s flank.

“Yeeep!?” Moondancer shrieked, the touch felt burning hot and freezing cold, all at the same time. She hadn’t had time to recover yet, as her still-twitching hindlegs were evident to. She wanted to fight back, she really did. But Sweet Celestia’s flanks! She never wanted this to end.

“Oh good, it worked,” Sugar observed, before running one hoof lightly over the mare’s lips and drinking in the reaction. She took extra care to avoid the clit. She had...plans for that.

“You...will...pay for this,” Moondancer panted. Her high had finally fallen back down to Equus and she was already formulating revenge. “Have...you heard...of re-directed...mana flow?”

“Mmhm, it was the basis for my interesting little treat earlier. Re-direct emotions around infinitely.” The nymph then lowered her head to between Moondancer’s hind legs and smiled mischievously up at the mare. “Now poppet, if you want this to end, all you’re going to have to do is ask your Mistress to stop.”

And with that, Sugar unleashed all she knew about pleasing a mare onto the one that had attempted to bed her so thoroughly while she was under the influence of a hypersensitivity spell. And this time, the changeling didn’t avoid the clit at all.

Moondancer cried out again, but she’d be damned if she wasn’t going to offer up a few tricks of her own. Time to play this nymph’s game. She raised her forehooves, though they felt like lead right now, and slowly grasped the nymph’s horn. It seemed like she was trying to bury her muzzle further inside of her...and gods above that sounded tempting.

“Trick or treat~” Moondancer grinned as she forced a feedback loop of her own, causing the last spell that Sugar used to be cast again...on herself this time!

To her credit, Sugar recognized the spell and had a moment of warning...but nothing could really prepare one for a spell like this. For all the fighting she did, trying to bring the mare to her next orgasm, the nymph eventually succumbed to her own spell and collapsed atop the mare, twitching. “I wasn’t...done,” she protested as the spell kept running. “Wanted to...do more...to you.”

“Awww,” Moondancer cooed as she watched the spell work. Okay, before she left, this nymph was teaching her that spell. This would make an awesome prank on Midnight...or maybe Celly~?

After a moment, she cut off the flow of magic and took a breath. Kudos to the changeling, that was one heck of a spell to re-cast. “Can you keep going then?”

After Sugar had gotten her hooves back under her, she crawled towards Moondancer’s folds and gave her response orally.

“Ohhh, now that’s gooooood,” Moonie groaned. That sensitivity spell was still in play and by gods was it effective. She placed her hooves on the nymph’s head again, just rubbing them through her mane. “Nnnn, ahhhh...almost...there...”

Sugar brought into play those fangs and incisors again and gently, carefully, nibbled on Moonie’s folds with those pointed edges. Some ponies just like the feeling of danger when they got attention, and she was all too happy to oblige~

What she didn’t count on was Moondancer being quite the masochist, and that feeling of those sharp fangs so close to her? “Sweet Celestia!” Moondancer cried out as she coated the nymph’s muzzle in her juices. Sugar just drank it all up, not coincidentally running her tongue on the inside of those folds and occasionally tweaking that nub of flesh again. She wanted to draw this one out, if only to wear the mare out as much as possible.

Moon groaned as she locked her hindlegs around the nymphs head as she continued her ministrations. Each lick and nibble caused her whole body to twitch and the orgasm she was riding didn’t want to seem to end. Sugar didn’t mind at all; the more this mare came, the more energy she got from all that lust she was freely giving. As long as the mare could keep going, so could the ‘ling. Sugar idly brought her fangs back into the picture again, wondering what that would do.

She got her response as the mare came for a fourth time, before her vice-like grip fell and the mare leaned back into the bed, her limbs falling limply at her sides. Her chest heaved with the ragged, heavy breaths she took and her coat shone with a light sheen of sweat.

“Ah...hah...Ohhhhh...”

“You,” Sugar said as she crawled up towards Moondancer and cuddled her close. “Were the best I’ve ever had. Oh, I just want to hold you close and never let you go.”

“Nrgh, I just...haaaahh...” Moondancer sighed tiredly as she leaned into the embrace. She was probably going to freak out in the morning.

But right now? She just wanted hugs and sleep...
