The Moaning Crown

~l~

"Hi, Miss Cheerilee!" Applebloom grinned, dashing forward and hugging the front hoof of the cerise purple-coated pony.

Patting the little filly on the head, Cheerilee smiled. "Well hello there, little Apple, good to see you make it today!" she laughed slightly, looking up curiously for an answer as to why one of her students was so late to attend her afternoon class.

"I'm very sorry about that, we had a little incident earlier and it wasn't what I'd call easy to fix, but she's all better now." Twilight smiled, trying to explain as simply as she could, she could see Cheerilee was a bit busy and wanted not to bother her with details, even if it was just as simple as Applebloom getting an upset stomach.

By now the filly had run off to go join her friends hanging out near the outside of the elementary school, happy as can be. "Oh not to worry Twilight- Pipsqueak, put that DOWN!" Cheerilee said sternly, ordering the pony in question to release a pair of gardening shears from his hooves. He squeaked in response, gently setting the tool back down against the white fence of the garden they belonged to.

Cheerilee sighed exasperatingly, rubbing her forehead. "Sorry, I've been at this all morning now. These fillies are driving me crazy," she explained. Twilight merely listened. "Normally that would be manageable, but I've also got so much gardening to do for the town decorations coming in for Celestia's visit today."

Twilight giggled. "I know how you feel, I had lots of cleaning and work to do yesterday in preparation, but I got all that out of the way, I've taught myself to get everything done early from now on."

"Glad you're so organized, Miss Sparkle. If only I had a few more hooves to help around." The purple pony shook her head. Twilight raised an eyebrow.

"Nopony else has offered to help? I thought you always get workers." The unicorn questioned.

"Oh yes, Miss Lyra was nice enough to offer assistance. She's actually in the garden right now," Cheerilee explained, glancing back over at her class and continuing, "but it's these children I'm worried about more."

Twilight smiled nervously, knowing what was coming, and decided she should avoid it. "Oh, Lyra's here? Why don't I go help her with the gardening?" Twilight had walked off briskly before Cheerilee could raise a hoof.

The unicorn carefully swung the small white gate to the little garden open. The whole place was connected to the little school, with wooden white fencing all around and thick brambles of leaf and vine draped all around the box of fencing, making the garden seem more of a greenhouse than anything. Twilight weaved around tall flowers and bushes, searching for a certain mare.

That was, until a blob of dirt hit her square in the face. "Blech! Hey, watch where you're throwing!"

The light-teal coat of Lyra Heartstrings popped out from behind a bush as she gasped. "Twilight? Sorry I had no idea anybody else was here!" she quickly walked up to Twilight, inspecting her with worry. "I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Twilight shook her head, brushing the dirt from her face with a nearby leaf. "No, no. I'm fine," she spoke, coughing a bit and spitting some dirt from her tongue, "don't worry, it was an accident." She assured the worried-looking unicorn.

"Ahehe, so anyway, what brings you here at this random time?" Lyra questioned, trying her best to not giggle at the weird faces Twilight made as she expelled the dirt from her tongue.

"Well Cheerilee is pretty over-worked at the moment with the class, so I offered to help you with the gardening to save time." she smiled in reply.

Lyra blinked, looking around at the assortment of plants and the green atmosphere from the sun shining through the vines and leaves covering the fencing above. "You came to help me, cool! I was just getting to some annoying weed-pulling. It's hard word without proper appendages, so I've been exhausting myself with magic usage." Lyra explained, shrugging as she realized Twilight dazed off, looking around too.

"Well, what can I help with then?" She asked, suddenly realizing how much fun this might not be.

"Uh, with the weed-pulling for now, right over in this section." the teal-coated unicorn turned around and gestured with her horn to the small area of weeds surrounding a random patch of soft and dark brown dirt, almost like soil. Small petals and edges of vines rested atop and poked out from the patch. "See the weeds are suffocating these pretty purple lilies, so I was just about to tackle this area, you up for it?" Lyra playfully grinned, attempting to make it sound somewhat entertaining, but the attempt was quite lacking in success.

Twilight smiled, walking over and bending down to sniff gently at the little attractive flowers. Naturally, the unicorn didn't happen to pay attention at all to the fact that she was stepping into the circle of very soft bare dirt that Lyra was also standing in. She decided to get started right away, turning around and lighting her horn with the purple-rose glow, directing an aura of magic to envelop a tiny green root of a weed plant, easily pulling it aside and dropping it into a bucket that Lyra had levitated over for them to use.

With a smile, the green-coated unicorn resumed her work, prodding her head down, nudging lilies and vines aside to carefully pull up the little weeds threatening to steal plant life. She paid no extra attention as her hooves padded onto the soft soil, slowly trudging forward, focused on her work too much to take notice of a previously still vine slowly come to life, and slither through the soil.

Lyra turned curiously as she felt something smooth and cool curl around her back hoof. At first it seemed as though she just stepped through it and pulled the plant along, but she stopped in her tracks and peered back, watching the small little thing wrapped around her as if asking for a hug.

"Uh…" she looked around, eyes scrutinizing as if looking for someone who was moving the live plant, even glancing at Twilight, but only seeing her busily picking weeds. Whatever was going on, the vine was moving on its own. She slowly wiggled her back hoof, trying to yank away from the curling thing.

But yet… it pulled back. Her eyes blinked with curiosity, it looked to be a nice-looking vine that would go to a beautiful flower of some sort, and she did not want to harm it, so she simply bucked her leg once, but the vine clung on tightly, and Lyra noticed it tighten its grip. Right as she was about to call Twilight for help to remove it, her head snapped back down as her remaining back hoof was ensnared by an identical vine.

"Uhm…Twi- ahh!" Lyra gasped in surprise as the two vines suddenly began to pull downwards. Her hooves were quickly sinking into the soft soil along with the vines slowly disappearing into the ground. The purple unicorn spun around quickly at the sound of fright.

"Lyra!" her eyes widened, "wh-what's wrong?" She watched with surprise at the teal-coated unicorn's hooves were slowly being pulled into the ground.

"I'm stuck! Or, being pulled- I don't know!" she helplessly reached out at nearby flowers to pull herself up, but couldn't grasp onto anything, and thrashing her hooves- that were now below ground- was only making her sink quicker, and her hips were slipping down along with her tail.

Twilight rushed over, and without hesitating she grasped onto Lyra's front hoof, and tried to give it a yank, to no avail.

"I think it's quicksand!" she panted from pulling so hard.

"In a garden?!"

"I don't know either!" she cried out, watching as her friend's stomach slowly disappeared further, then her arms were being restricted slightly as the ground-level reached her chest. Twilight finally fell back onto her haunches, slipping from lack of strength,

"I'm… gonna… go get help…" she panted, rising to her hooves again and turning around.

Lyra nodded. "Hurry up!" she pounded her hooves into the ground desperately, trying not to harm any of the garden's nearby vegetation.

But right as the purple unicorn took her first step back and was about to turn around, she was suddenly enlightened on how Lyra was being pulled into the ground. She glanced around as she saw a vine quickly curl onto her back hoof, Lyra watched with wide eyes.

"That's what happened to me! Hurry and get away!"

Twilight gulped and yanked away from the vine, only to watch in horror as it snaked right back and wrapped tightly onto the same hoof, not willing to release this time. She snarled angrily, pointing her glowing horn at it and preparing for a destructive blast spell.

"Wait!" Twilight turned around at her friend's frantic voice, "don't hurt it! Do you know how much trouble we'll get in if Cheerilee sees we destroyed the new garden?"

The bound unicorn sighed and nodded, dimming her horn as she continued to yank as yet another identical vine wrapped onto her hoof in quite the same way as her friend. And as Lyra watched Twilight squirm around as she was slowly dragged into the ground, she barely realized her own dragging had stopped at about shoulder level, leaving the pony there, stuck out of the ground and unable to move her lower half.

Nopony would be able to hear them if they yelled for help. The area was well insulated and Cheerilee's class had long since left the area on a field trip through town.

Lyra rested her head against the soft soil, exhausted and panting from her energy-consuming struggle. "T-Twilight… what are these things?" she asked, blinking her eyes and looking down, feeling her hooves well-secured underground, they seemed to be pulled halfway into some kind of passage.

The purple unicorn shook her head. "I don't really know, some type of reactive plant that we triggered, maybe a predator…" she gulped at that thought, and was only more fearful of the fact that she couldn't see what was going on under the soil, so far her legs were just being held there still.

So far…But right as the thought ran through the frantic pony's mind, her attention was focused again as Lyra made a sudden strange squeak. She paid not much thought to it, assuming she was simply annoyed.

"I've read about tons of predator plantation all over Equestria. Some that snatch up bugs and eat them, some that spit out toxic gas, some that capture random animals with sharp branches just for nothing," Twilight explained, not resting her arms down against the dirt, trying to think, "but most of those are in the Everfree Forest and I've never heard of something that has fully moving appendages like this attached, that do- Lyra, are you okay?"

The unicorn's golden eyes were squinted slightly as she clenched her teeth, finally catching her friend's attention as she emitted another squeak. Lyra shook her head slightly, not sure what to say. "What's going on?" Twilight inquired with raised eyebrows, seeing a drop of sweat forming on the unicorn's forehead.

She only received another strange noise, and then a few seconds of awkward silence…"Gah!" Lyra yelped out, startling the purple-coated unicorn greatly.

"What's happening, Lyra?! Talk to me!" she frantically asked, looking down to where Lyra's chest was met with the soil, assuming whatever got the already strange pony to act so stranger…was underground.

But Twilight's worry and curiosity was soon answered, as her bound hooves under the dirt felt something. It was but another vine, by the feel of its smoothness, wasting no time and curling snake-like over her legs. "Oh no, Lyra watch out, these things are doing something!" she cried out fearfully, trying with all her might to kick her non-visible hooves around, but no matter what, the vines holding them proved to be far too tough to yank away.

Twilight was left to merely pant heavily in exhaustion and feel the third vine move around down there. It sifted through her fur with swift but careful movements, flowing so graceful around her soft underbelly coat that the unicorn had to convince herself that this plant was likely going to prick her with a needle or spew out gas somehow.

Yet her suspicions continued to rise, annoying her slightly as the wispy little thing poked around her thighs. By now she could feel it was about as thin as a school-filly's pencil, only smooth and incredibly intrusive as it sharply jabbed dangerously close to Twilight's nethers. By now, she easily realized why Lyra was squealing around so much.

But right as she was going to ask her friend if she was okay, an intense squeak of shock left her own mouth. The vine had gently brushed over her tender area, but right as it did so, Twilight's face burned a bright crimson as the little feeler poked its tip into her much smaller, rear entrance.

"L-Lyra, help!" she absently cried out, jerking her hips as much as possible, but she was held so tight that any movement did nothing worthwhile. By this time the teal-coated unicorn had just experienced the same exact thing as Twilight, but she was biting her tongue so hard and blushing so bright that no scream was heard yet.

The teal-coated struggler was trying even harder than her friend, although her cheeks were red, she was desperately attempting to flick her white-streaked tail against the intruder that was pushing inside her. Her nerves were on fire as the vine made its way nearly four inches inside. It was a slow, but tingling process, and pain was hardly present due to the tininess and strange movement of the plant.

And right as the unicorns thought they were done, as they laid their heads on the soil, panting heavily, eyes in slight shock and trying to avoid contact as they both knew well they were experiencing this together…right then a double scream pierced the air shortly after a muffled 'gush' was heard from below.

The assailants simultaneously squirted a very warm and slippery liquid into their rear passages, and their reactions were frankly indescribable.

Twilight squealed helplessly and Lyra covered her face in a pair of hooves, so wanting to disappear from view, completely embarrassed by the unbelievable situation they had been caught in. Neither could talk, too shocked and concentrated on the strange liquid that was sinking into their extremely tender and sensitive walls, it flowed throughout their passage and began to warm even higher, not a heated temperature, but it felt that way due to the arousal that it was quickly causing to the two ponies.

Very quickly indeed, as Lyra whimpered when the first wave of strange tingling swept across her, Twilight blushed intensely and exhaled deep. They could still hardly believe this was happening, but as their bodies' sensitive little worked nerves began to betray them…their minds were swift to become clearer.

"T-Twilight…" Lyra panted quietly, one eye lazily half-shut from the powerful aphrodisiac liquid that was assaulting her nerves, preparing her for something that she didn't realize yet.

"Yea, Lyra?" came the even quieter response.

"I don't know what's going on, why is this happening?"

Twilight shook her head slowly. "I have no idea either…ah!" The purple-coated unicorn gasped in surprise as her pencil-thin intruder gently slipped out from her, leaving a few drops of the glowing purple liquid to drip out from her entrance.

Lyra was left to moan softly as she short-after felt the same, forcing a dazed smile back as her tender nerves were being assaulted by the liquid inside.

The two ponies simply laid there, completely dazed and panting as their arousal was rising quicker and quicker through the liquid shot inside, and it worked powerfully due to the workings within them. They didn't speak, didn't know what to say, their bodies tingled massively, they were blushing deeply and holding back little moans.

They could not see as each other gently bucked their hips, tortured to no end by the liquid that made their heat rise ever so. They were aching to finish the powerful pleasure, but could not. Tails flicked, hooves squirmed, eyes fluttered, but they could only be still and wait for something to happen.

After a few moments of hazy silence, the wait was not long kept as they soon felt a completely different vine this time. And it wasn't as slow.

Lyra's eyes widened as the smooth bulb-like plant grazed against her legs, allowing her to feel the gentle grooves and thin little slippery hairs covering its surface. But she could quickly tell what was coming next. The unicorn wasn't sure what to think at this point, she wanted to try and fight against it, but her body was betraying her as her thighs very slightly widened, allowing the bulb to move forward, and press against her tender, flushed nether lips.

Twilight gulped, afraid and excited at the same time, but she could show nothing to her friend, this situation was so horribly embarrassing that she could barely look at Lyra, let alone speak to her.

Both mares could not hold in their moans of complete delight and pleasure fulfillment as the perfectly-sized bulb pushed forward gently, parting their pink, flushed passage and entering their tingling and bound bodies.

"Thank you very much, Spike." Bon-Bon gave a smile of appreciation, slipping the book into her saddlebag.

The baby-dragon waved in return, resuming his work of book-sorting in Twilight's library- the task she left him while she was gone. But as the pony was leaving, Spike remembered to ask her, "Hey you haven't happened to have seen Twilight, have you? She's been gone a while."

Bon-Bon turned with a raised eyebrow. "Twilight? Uh, I don't think so."

Spike shrugged. "Oh well, she's late a lot anyway."

"That unicorn is always too busy and obsessed with studying stuff," the pony giggled, "I bet her and my friend Lyra would get along so well."

Spike laughed. "Yea we should get them to have some quality hangout time. They'd be a perfect couple!"

~l~

Lyra could only emit another satisfied moan as the bulb wiggled around inside her pleasured walls, using her own juices to give it ease of access. She had given up on struggling. It was no use and a waste of energy now. If the plant wanted to give her pleasure, than she had no choice but to let it, even if she didn't want to and was doing her best to avoid her friend's eyes.

But Twilight was doing quite the same. Her bulb would thrust slightly inside her and make her squeal loudly, it was clear they both knew what was going on, but that made it nonetheless completely embarrassing. But minds began to clear and become too hazy to bother with it as the massive amount of pleasure was rising with every little movement of the plants.

The pressure was building quickly, and the vines could sense it, but the longer the juices could build… the better. So the bulb inside of Lyra slowly withdrew, slipping out from her lips gently, and right as she whimpered in protest, it suddenly pressed onto her tiny exposed clit.

She screamed and clenched her teeth as tightly as she could, completely not expecting her most sensitive point to be touched as well. She moaned and whimpered as the bulb slowly began to wiggle, and glow as it pressed onto her. Her release was aching and she tried to buck her hips forward more, to no avail. The bulb was merely building her up and she could only helplessly let it have its way.

Twilight was slightly different. Her pleasure was rising far quicker than her friend's, and before she knew it was happening, her hips were shivering for release. The bulb pushed in and out slowly, reaching her depths each time and making the bound pony squeal defenselessly every time.

It was slowly becoming far too much. But she was in for yet another surprise, as every single tiny groove, bump, and hair on the bulb suddenly began to glow and vibrate against her clenching walls.

Lyra couldn't take it anymore, she was going to force herself to release, the torture was too much and she was whimpering like crazy, a dazed look in her eyes, full of unexplainable pleasure.

But right as she tried her hardest to force her pressure, the bulb moved down once more and pushed inside her body, parting her flushed lips and vibrating powerful as it entered her completely in one powerful thrust.

They didn't know why, but both unicorns looked up suddenly as they both reached their massively powerful climaxes on the same chord. Golden and violet eyes locked together, blushing a bright crimson as they just stared at each other, unable to breathe or make a sound as the orgasms took their energy away.

Unknown to them, the bulbs vibrated strongly and siphoned out the mixture of juice that they were expelling during their peaks, it mixed in with the sap that sunk through their walls and formed a nutrient-rich liquid that the plants thankfully drank down, a gentle gurgle echoed beneath.

They did not know how many minutes passed before finally, both ponies collapsed onto the soil, eyes fluttering closed in a gentle haze as their exhausted bodies began to slip away into a pleasured and peaceful rest…
