Chapter 2: Unexpected Concerns

Celestia walked down the hallway with a spring in her step and giddiness in her smile. It was the early morning of the first day of her vacation and she was eager to get started, not even bothering to get properly dress wearing nothing but her panties and a robe so thin a silhouette of her breast was clearly visible in the moonlight as she passed each window.

Nearing an open balcony she spotted her sister walking up stopping by the balcony doors. Luna stood there wearing jeans and a tank top having just finished a patrol around the Everfree Forest. On top of her duties to monitor the dreamscape of both the people of Equestria and people from other parts of the world who freely allowed her entry into her their dreams, Luna has the responsibility to guard against real life dangers that roamed the land of Equestria during the nighttime hours. For her travels watching over the land Luna simply preferred jeans, sneakers, and shirts over the traditional huntress garb she wore before her banishment with its short skirt and sandals with straps tied around her calves. With the night ending she had completed all but one of her duties for the evening.

Few people in Equestria, outside of the Lunar Guard, had ever see Luna dressed in such casual clothing. During the daytime, when she wasn’t sleeping off her nightly duties, she typically wore simple yet elegant dresses like her sister’s, but with darker hues and moon based accessories. When walking the dreamscape and helping the people having difficulty dealing with their nightmares, she would project herself wearing a royal dress hoping to comfort the dreamer with reminder that she was Princess of the Night and would be the one above all else whom they could turn to for aid against their bad dreams.

Ironically people outside of Equestria were more familiar with her in informal attire. Nearly every week she’d dress up in designer fashion for the night and teleport herself to a different country, not for closer proximity to patrol the dreamscape of slumbering people, but to indulge in the local night life. Exploring foreign cities, hitting up bars, night clubs, outdoor gatherings, and any place with music, dancing, or cheering, it was her favorite part of the modern world. It brought her joy to see people enjoying the nighttime, whether it was at beach parties, bonfires, and campouts with her night sky in full view or bars, concerts, and nightclubs filled with people reveling into the late hours.

But tonight had not been one such night, it was actually a surprisingly eventful patrol having to drive back ursa majors wondering a little too close to edges of the forests they called home and ending a skirmish between manticores and timber wolves preventing one from driving the other out of the their territory. The battles were followed by a journey through the dreamscape filled with nightmares to conquered and frightened children to console.

Now she stood looking up at her taller, half-dressed sister with an eager smile on her face. Luna watched as Celestia practically bounced on the balls of her feet as her significantly larger breast jiggled in Luna’s face.

“Someone’s excited, is today is the big day?” Luna asked receiving an enthusiastic nod from her sister. “So you’re really going through with this plan of yours? You’re just going to go gallivanting off sleeping with random strangers?”

“I know you don’t approve of this Luna,” Celestia replied more solemnly, “but I must do this. Please understand that I can’t keep living like this, living with this frustration, constantly fantasizing about someone to give me lasting relief. I can hardly think straight during day court or while dealing with nobles trying to coax favors out of me. If I don’t do this now, I’ll likely to do something I’ll regret.”

“Regret more than a loveless fling with a potent murder, or abusive kidnapper?”

“I intend to be more cautious that to blindly jump into bed with someone dangerous,” Celestia began to explain. “Once I’ve found what I’m looking for I’ll be sure to make sure it’s safe to be alone with him. But I’ll never get over the shame if I jump a guard in front of everyone, or exchange a favor to get screwed by a disgusting noble with an impressive gift between his legs.”

“Do you really…” Luna started before sighing. “I can’t really say I understand how you feel sister. After returning to my true self, I too had what they call a “dry spell”. Though not nearly as long as yours, I too know how difficult is to go without the touch of a man.”

“Honestly Luna, I know for a fact that you didn’t even last a decade before you found someone comfort you. And your nights joining people around the world in their celebrations have led to more than a few partners keeping you way from home beyond the dawn. You can’t just judge me for just trying to dealing with this as you have.”

“This is hardly the same,” Luna responded, insulted by the claim. “I’ve only ever gone on personal outings to make up on all I’ve miss over they passed millennium. Sometimes I meet someone, we get along, and after a few drinks we agree to spend an intimate moment together. I have never gone out for the sole purpose of seducing someone for my own satisfaction.”

“Only because you’ve never needed it as desperately I do right now.”

“I suppose not.” Luna accepted that possibility. “I may have gone nearly a thousand years without sex, but being banished to the moon left me without a body to actually crave sex. So perhaps I have not right to question your judgement on this personal matter. I’m just worried that this is a reckless action and I don’t want anything bad to happen.”

“Oh sister,” Celestia softly said pulling Luna into a hug. “It’s surely not my intent to worry you. I promise nothing bad is going to happen.”

“I’ll still worry, this just doesn’t seem like a wise decision,” Luna put her arms around her sister in return. “But if you’re certain that you must do this, promise me this. Promise that you will not get carried away and embarrass us.”

“I promise not to get carried away Luna,” Celestia agreed before an agitated look appeared on her face. “What do you mean “us”?”

“I’ve worked for decades trying to rebuild my reputation. Please don’t undo that work and make me known as the “sister of the world’s biggest slut.”” Luna pulled away from the hug and looked at her sister sternly only for an impish smile to slowly form.

“Well we certainly wouldn’t want to tarnish your reputation” Celestia rolled her eyes at her sister’s attempt at humor. “Now I have a full day today, so shall we?”

“Yes, one last task before you head out.”

Together the sisters stepped out onto the balcony and looked to the moon hanging low in the sky. Closing their eyes the sisters began to focus on their tasks. A small glow appeared upon their foreheads as a pillar of light began to emerge from those spots. Soon Celestia had a foot long horn of pure white light sticking out of her brow while Luna had one half as long. The horns were then covered in glowing auras of gold and blue, respectively, as the moon began to hasten its decent below the horizon and the sun soon greeted the day bathing the land of Equestria with its warm light.

With their task done the two opened their eyes and the horns faded away, leaving no sign they had even existed. In the daylight, the sister looked down to see the shift change of the Solar Guard as soldiers clad in golden armor left their post for some much needed rest as their replacement arrived to begin their duties for the day.

Up above was a similar sight as several squads of the Solar Guard glided through the air on wings of white light. They stopped midflight, their wings softly beating to keep them aloft, as they watched another group of guards approach. The squads of Lunar Guards arrived in their purple armor with wings that glowed grey, like the screen of an old black and white television set. The two groups briefly meet to chat before they went their separate ways. The Solar Guards heading out to patrol the area around Canterlot, while the Lunar Guards gliding down for a landing before their wings of light fade away and they made their way to the barracks.

Celestia was please at the sight of another ordinary day, encouraging the belief that Canterlot, and by extension Equestria, would be fine during her absence. The princesses returned inside, both done with their duties for the day.

“So shall we enjoy a nice breakfast?”

“I would love to dear sister,” Luna yawned, “but I’m afraid I’ll need my rest.”

“I see, decided to go clubbing one last time before my trip has you bound home?”

“If only that were the case, I was kept terribly busy dealing with monsters both real and imagined within a multitude of children last night.”

“Really, was it really so bad last night?” Celestia asked with concern.

“Yes, and I expected as much when I woke up yesterday,” Luna say in annoyance. “I turned on the TV while I was preparing for the evening and what did I find. There was a horror movie marathon that was to continue through the night and on into the morning. There were so many movie monsters to deal with, so many them the same, and none more annoying that the burned man with the striped shirt. I’d vanquish him from their dreams only for the child to accuse me of being this Freddy abomination in disguise.”

“Then get some sleep Luna, I’m sure you’ll feel better after some rest.”

“Thank you, and good luck you Tia,” Luna gave her sister a hug and a peek on the cheek. “I hope that you’ll feel better after you’ve… achieved you goal.”

“Thank you Luna I appreciate the sentiment.”

“Now you get dress, I’ll go check on Twilight and Cadence before bed. They wished you enjoy an early morning breakfast with you so you can depart early for your trip.”

“Lovely, thank you sister again, I’ll see you when I return.”

“And don’t forget, you promised not to get carried away and embarrass us.”

“Yes, sister.” Celestia answered dismissively rolling her eyes as the two sisters went their separate ways.

After a nice breakfast Celestia and Cadence sat aboard the royal private jet flying to Celestia’s secret vacation getaway. Cadence was just finishing up going over the details of her aunt’s arrangements for her trip.

“So the reservations are for two whole weeks,” Cadence explained “you’re welcome to come home early if you feel you’re ready but if you feel you need stay a little long call us at least two days before the reservations end. It’s their busy season so they may be booked up, meaning you might have to move to another room or even another hotel if we can’t find a vacancy there.”

“I understand,” Celestia nodded, “It shouldn’t take me that long depending on how well my search goes. Now tell more about these islands.”

“The Isles de la Corazon, or more commonly known as The Islands of the Heart.”

“It sound romantic, you’re sure that this isn’t a couples retreat right?” Celestia asked. “I’m looking to find single men up for some fun not encourage a married man into having an affair.”

“Oh don’t worry about that Auntie, I did my research and it’s a well know travel destination for singles and even couples searching to find someone to fuck. Before the developers showed up the islands were called the isles of “Pu-na-neigh” if I’m pronouncing that right. Supposedly Punaneigh was a native islander word mean lust or sex.”

“Really?” Celestia suddenly more interest in her niece’s research.

“From the information I’ve found about the islands, yes. Some sources even say that a more accurate translation than sex is actually, “wild, filthy, sinful sex.”

“Please tell me that you’re not joking. Because I want to believe that this is a sign of what I can expect from this trip.”

“It’s not a joke Auntie, apparently they had a lot of rituals for mating long ago. One of the larger islands is where they had their fertility rituals for couples hoping to have healthy children, while another island is where actual courtship rituals took place including the actually wedding ceremonies”

“Wedding ceremonies? You do remember that this trip is just for a quick fling not a lasting relationship?”

“Yes Auntie I remember,” Cadence express soured on that fact. “That’s why you’ll be staying at a resort on the main islands were most of the singles and perverts can be found. I was only trying to explain that the developers basically rebranded the islands as a romantic getaway. The first islands I mentioned now have resorts for honeymooners and wedding chapels respectively.”

“Resorts on the main island are more casual with less couple oriented activites.” Cadences sorted through her notes, “You remember itinerary I went over suggesting places and events you may wish to attend? There’s The Paradise Club, The La Cantina Bar (I think that might be a typo), a surf contest, waterskiing, and a beach volleyball tournament to name a few. There’s also a beachside gym with some buff guys to check out and a nude beach if you feel like a trip to the other side of the island.”

“Now that sounds more like it.” Celestia said, now reassured that Cadence had done her job well. Okay then, that sounds like everything.”

“Actually there was one more thing I wanted to discuss with you.”

“And that is?”

“You list of requirements.” Cadence pulled out a paper from her stack of notes. “You’re asking for quite a bit in a single man. He has to be taller than you, large muscular body, kind and charming, sexually experience, and this is the one that’s difficult to track, a cock more than nine inches long.”

Celestia smiled with embarrassment unable to look her in the eye at that particular requirement.

“Individually these traits wouldn’t be that hard to find, but if you’re trying to find someone that meets all your criteria, you’re really going to be limiting your opinions. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather send out scouts to go recruiting some “volunteers” to bring back to you?”

“Do you really think that would actually work? Having guards sent out to travel the world, offering hot single men a chance to fuck a princess? Do you think they could keep it a secret, or that someone wouldn’t take notice and start gossiping about how I sent guards to pick up virile young men to start a harem of sex slaves? What would people think if they found out the truth of what their princess is doing? I’d be label a cock-starved nymphomaniac with no self-control who’s willing to risk her dignity for a good dicking.”

“But that just about describes you to a tee.”

“Yes but I can’t let people know that. I have an image to preserve, and a negative reputation would reflect badly on all of us. I even promised Luna not to embarrass her.”

“But doesn’t this trip present an even greater risk of people finding out that you’re going on the prowl for sex?”

“No need to worry about that,” Celestia smiled at her reasoning for taking this course of action. “Outside of Equestria, Luna is much better known than I. Even you and Twilight would be more recognizable thanks to Twilight coronation and you gracing the covers of a fair number of magazines. I on the hand am hardly a name, the ruler of a far off country while the three of you are the faces of Equestria. Besides, I’ll be preying on drunken sex-addict and stoners. How many of them will be even capable of recognizing me if they even knew my face?”

“Fine,” Cadence replied with a sigh, “I hope you at least remember to practice safe sex during your trip. I’ve packed you enough condoms to get you through a month of ambitious nights as well as some enemas to keep you clean.”

“Thank you, I’m grateful for that.” Celestia turned to the window and began imagining the possible exploits that she hoped to experience. Scenes of seducing men on a night club dance floor, being picked up by some hunk at a bar, a half-naked stud walking up to her as she sunbaths on the beach. Each scene ending in the bedroom as she and her new lover tore her clothes away before impaling her upon a massive penis and savagely plowing into her.

“What are you thinking about?” Cadence asked, curious about her grin and glazed over stare.

“Cocks, mostly,” Celestia answered trying not to be distracted from her fantasies.

“I should have guessed. Some nine inch cocks I assume?”

“No, bigger, much bigger,” Celestia grinned at the thought then turned to her niece. “Out of curiosity, how big is Shining Armor?”

“Oh, um,” Cadence hesitated surprised by her aunt question. “He’s about nine-and-a-half inches, maybe nine-and-three-quarters.”

“Not bad, you’re lucky to have him. How long can he last?”

“Well I haven’t tried tracking his performance,” Cadence explained, “so I don’t have an average or anything but I guess from twenty to thirty minutes. It’s longer than I can last so I’m often at his mercy until he gets off.”

“Really?” Celestia seem genuinely surprised. “From what I’ve hear you hardly give Shining a moment’s rest most nights. I figured you’d have him servicing you for hours.”

“It’s not like that Auntie.” Cadence blushed as she tried to justify herself. “I’m not some ravenous nymphomaniac that needs it constant attention. I happen to cum rather easily and simple enjoy multiple orgasms when I’m with Shining. It’s just that, some nights I get aroused at different times throughout the night.”

“So how many times does Shining need to fuck you throughout the night?” Celestia leaned in anxious for the answer.

“Sometime three times a night, sometimes four…” Cadence averted her eyes for a moment then looked back at her aunt to see that Celestia was waiting for her to finish answering. “Sometimes ten okay. Sometime I wake him up nine times just so he can fuck me because my body crave more, we’re married and as his wife I have the right to demand that he fuck me silly as many time as I need.”

“Wow that sounds amazing.” Celestia was pleased to hear about her niece’s love life. “It’s been so long for me that once I’ve found someone good to give it to me, I’ll probably won’t last very long for the first few rounds.”

“Now that I think about it, I can’t even remember you taking any interest in anyone. At least not before these urges of yours started getting out of hand. When was the last time you had sex, ten years, fifteen?”

“About one hundred and fifty years.” Cadence eyes grew to the size of saucers hearing this. “And that really just the last time I had sex. Truthfully it’s been a little over three hundred years since the last time I actually had satisfying sex. It took a century and a half of disappointment before I decided to abstain from sex.”

“Oh my Fausticorn, are you serious?”

“Unfortunately,” She sighed. “Fuck my life, the first guy I get with will probably ask to use a vacuum to clean out all the dust before he goes down on me.”

“Eww, thanks for that image Auntie.” Candence tried to shake the image out of her head.

“Sorry for that. It’s just been so long and I think I’m actually a little nervous to actually getting out there. It’s silly right for a mature woman like me, with a body like this to be nervous about finding a man right?”

“Everyone gets nervous Auntie, and I’m starting to understand why this really means so much to you. I can’t imagine how you could go that long. I’m surprised you haven’t just jumped some guard’s bones.”

“If I thought it would be enough, I certainly would have. This trip is my last resort, now all that left is to see what these islands have to offer. I hope you managed to pack me some flattering outfits for this trip. I something that’ll give me more confidence to shake off those last minute jitters before I begin my search.”

“Don’t you worry you’ll have everyone’s eyes glued to you once you try out the clothes I’ve got. I’ve really updated your wardrobe with some hot little numbers so you can go out and strut your stuff.”

“I hope so, what can I expect? You took my measurements but I only ever tried on a few outfits before you began preparing my vacation.”

“Something for every occasion, sundresses, clingy tops, short-shorts and miniskirts for when you’re out sightseeing during the day. Formal wear for some classy dinning or the fancy balls the resort has every other Sunday evening. Tight sex outfits for your nights out looking for a boy toy and lingerie to surprise him with. And of course we can’t forget your swimwear for all the time you’ll spend tempting everyone young and old on the beach.”

“Speaking of which, they’re not too revealing, are they? I want to look sexy, maybe a little slutty, but I don’t want to reveal too much skin. Leave something to the imagination right.”

“Like the rest of your clothes I’ve gathered a multitude of beachwear for you of different styles and colors. I’ve got you a few of the most modest old fashion bathing suits along with a collection of increasingly revealing suit to the very skimpiest micro-bikinis. So you can pick out whatever you’re comfortable with and when your feel adventurous you got some bolder choices available.”

“I’m sorry did you say micro-bikinis? What is a micro-bikini?”

“What does it sound like to you?” Cadence smiled remembering her aunt’s surprising prudish opinion on public beach attire.

“It sounds like an extra tiny bikini. Which would be silly since their already so small.”

“Well if you’re up to it the smallest bikinis available are in your bags. Some of them are literally pieces of string with attached to pieces of fabric just big enough to cover you nipples and your v-jay, and perhaps not even that much fabric. There’s even a couple that are just strings that outlines you breast.”

Celestia blushed at the thought of wearing such a thing, being practically naked for the world to see. That was too much for her, only the men she’d bed would be allowed to see that much of her body.

“I think I’ll try something in the middle of your collection.” Celestia said her throat suddenly dry while her panties became moist once again. “Again I appreciate your thoughtfulness.”

“Oh and before I forget there’s also a bag containing some kinky costumes, in case you meet someone with a roleplaying fetish.”

“Roleplaying?”

“You know where you dress up and pretend to be sexy characters.” Cadence explained with a smile at Celestia’s confusion. “Like a nurse tending to her patient with her “bedside manner”, or a teacher disciplining a student with a lesson on how to treat a woman, or the reverse be a student getting a lesson in sex education and having to give an oral report.”

“Seriously?” Celestia smiled holding back a laugh. “People really do that? Do you and Shining do that?”

“Yes it’s a thing, and yes Shining and I really enjoy roleplaying in the bedroom.” Cadence quickly said defending her dignity. “You know Shining’s always been a comic book geek, so we have quite a collection of fun outfits to spice up our nights together. Done right it really can take the sex to a whole new level.”

“Really, it makes that big a difference?”

“Yes Auntie, the fantasy aspect really does add to the excitement. Shining is particularly fond of our Batman role plays because I get to surprise him with my choice of costume. Will be Harley Quinn, or Poison Ivy, or perhaps I’ll be wearing one of my six variations of Catwoman costumes.”

“You have six variations of the same character?’

“She’s been reimagined many times and they’re all sexy.” She said proud then muttered, “Of course forgive me if I accidently put on my Black Cat costume because my cleavage can’t bridge the gap between the DC and Marvel universe.”

“What was that?”

“Nothing. So don’t forget to consider it whenever you feel you want to try something new.”

“Okay dear, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.” Celestia said with no real intention of ever trying such a silly gimmick.

“Glad to hear it Auntie, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.” Cadence took a look at her watch, “Now we should probably get some rest if you want to avoid jetlag.”

“Yes that sound like a good idea, I do plan on staying up late if all goes will.” Celestia and Cadence reclined their seats all the way back to a surprisingly comfortable position. “Cadence may I ask one more favor from you?”

“Of course, I’m always willing to help you when you need it.”

“If you wake up and find me touching myself…” Celestia face was beet red.

“Wake you up?”

“No, leave me be and go find me a change of panties for when we get there.”

“Okay Auntie, now you have a pleasant rest.” The two then rested their head back and began to drift off to sleep.”

Hours later, Celestia stirred from her slumber finally withdrawing from more dreams of what she hoped to experience on her vacation. Scenarios ranging from romantic kisses upon a moonlit beach, to men ogling her wearing nothing but a micro-bikini, to a hardcore scene of her performing on a strip club stage culminating in a gangbang with every single patron all buff and hung.

Awakening Celestia listlessly sighed and removed her hand from her soaked underwear. A moment later Cadence, awake and embarrassed at what she had witness, handed her aunt a towel and fresh pair of underwear. Celestia took a moment to freshen up by the sink and replaced her panties. Returning to her seat she noticed an odd look on her niece’s face.

“Is something wrong?”

“Oh no Auntie, everything’s fine.” Cadence looked to Celestia but purposely avoiding her eyes. “We should be landing in a few minutes so everything’s going as scheduled. Then you can go have your fun and satisfy your lust. I know you’ll have a great time.”

“Cadence, do you…” Celestia was nervous to ask, “Do you think I’m being selfish and irresponsible?

“No, that’s not it.” She looked down not sure if she should continue. “It’s just that, it feels like you’re passing up an opportunity.”

“What are you talking about? We’ve spent month preparing so I could make the most of this.”

“Yes, but, the whole time you’ve been planning on just spending your time finding someone to have sex with. Don’t you think your time might be better spent finding someone special?”

“You mean like someone with a nine inch tongue,” Celestia giggled, “because I thought about adding that to the list. But it felt like that would just be a pleasant bonus over the things that I really need in a sex partner.”

“No Auntie, I being serious here. I’m talking about finding someone that actually makes you happy on more than just a physical level. You’re such a wonderful woman and you deserve to find that special someone that can make life seem even more wonderful.”

“Cadence, you knew full well what this was when I asked you help plan this trip. You helped me to clear my schedule, you made the travel arrangements, and agreed to help Twilight and Luna take over my duties while I’m away. All so I could have this time for myself.”

“I know but part of me believed that you’d go on you trip meet some men, find one really nice guy and build a real connection with each other. Except, the whole time you’ve been waiting for this day you’ve just been more and more adamant about finding multiple partners and then coming home refreshed. The whole “what happens in Los Pegasus, stays in Los Pegasus” idea that made it clear that you really are just going for the sex. You really plan to just love’em and leave’em no matter who they are or how close you might get.”

“Honest Cadence, you don’t really believe that I’m going to find true love on these islands do you? Didn’t we pick this place because it was full of hot and horny single men who are probably going to be buzzed on alcohol, weed, and how knows what else.

“Yes but that’s beside the point,” Cadence asserted. “I honestly believe that love can flourish anywhere, that it can bloom even in the most unlikely of circumstances.”

“No, this isn’t one of those romance movies you recommended I watch.” Celestia stood up and looked down at Cadence. “I’m not going to lock eyes with a man from across the room while the world fades away until it just the two of us and I realize that he is all that I need in my life. I’m going there to find some hot stud and drag back into my room where he will then fuck me blind. And if the first man I find doesn’t completely blow my mind away, then I’ll move on the next man, and the next until I do find that ultimate sex machine I need. And once I’ve found him, I’m locking him in my room where I will use and abuse him and his cock until I’m ready to come home. That all that these two weeks are about nothing more.”

“Fine!” Cadence crossed her arms and leaned back into her seat with a scowl and a pout. “If you’re just going to pass up this chance to look for love then just go right ahead.”

“I’m sorry,” Celestia said softly seating back down, “I sorry for disappointing you like this. I know what I’m doing is selfish and irresponsible and just wrong.”

“Then why?”

“Because I need more than just the sex, I need excitement. I need to get away from being a princess, away from being a ruler of a country. I want experience life like most people get the chance to experience it. I want to get drunk, to swear, to make bad decisions, to pick some guy to fuck and not even remember his name. Starting today I’m not a princess, but a wild slut looking to get fucked up in more than one way. I’m looking for that little something extra something that’ll make the sex all the hotter and make me cum harder than I have cum in centuries.”

“So that it then, there’s no way you’re going to change your plans or at least be more cautious about how you’ll handle yourself?”

“Sorry, but no, I’ve made my decision on this.”

“Then I guess there’s only one thing I can do?” Cadence moved to hug Celestia. “Good luck Auntie, and have fun. And don’t forget to use protection, I don’t want you bringing back the “clap” as your a souvenir.”

Celestia smiled at her niece’s joke. Not long afterwards, their plane landed and the two said their final goodbyes with Cadence giving Celestia her condensed notes on tourist attractions and local hot spots.

Leaving her plane, Celestia observed many people at the airport while she waited to gather her bags and take a cab to the resort. Among the crowds she saw a number of handsome men, though none meet both her height and build requirements. Still it was a nice sight and she hadn’t even left the airport yet.

‘Oh this is going to be fun.' Celestia thought with a predatory grin. ‘Look out studs because Celestia is on the loose.’

Author's Note

So this is pretty much an exposition chapter. It nearly got away from me, thankfully I have a copy of Dewitt's original version so that helped be reorganize the second scene. The first draft was actually dragging on longer than this final version and was all over the place.

But it's more or less what I wanted so I hoped you all enjoyed this chapter some what.

Oh, and anyone's wondering why Luna and Cadence aren't tagged for this story. The chapter has their biggest part in the story and I figured their roles weren't significant enough to merit their tags. What do you guys think?
