--- Act Three - Chapter Ten --- Royal Accommodations

Be warned, some mild ( no sex ) Clop next chapter. There will be a blatant warning beforehand.

That being said, have fun skipping to the next chapter. Lol.

Another flash of light, and the environment transitioned from a shallow, dull office, to a palace fit for kings. A large grand hall seemed to boast with gold-riddled decor, an oversized chandelier, a marble grand staircase with an ornate rug following it, splitting at the fork.

At the top of the staircase was Celestia herself, by all accounts, dramatically radiant and elegant in her form.

She descended to greet her guests, smiling warmly.

" Welcome to the Royal Palace, i'm happy you could make it. "

Dash shifted on her hooves a little bit. " Wasn't much of a choice, heh... " Celestia was the pony that could intimidate her with her presence, and the only pony's authority she would succumb to... ( save Applejack periodically, in a different sense. )

"I do apologize for the inconvenience, but there is something I wish to discuss with Ms. Applejack and yourself. If you will follow me, she is already awaiting our arrival. " She finally stepped off of the staircase, waiting at the end.

Dash stepped forward in a haze, everything was still going by too quickly. Why was she here again.

She stumbled.

Her head spun with excitement, butterflies rose in her stomach. She felt dizzy. She was fainting.

" Sorry... " Dash said, as she fell.

Celestia caught her with a bit of magic, and shook her head, addressing the guards.

" Too much magic to bring her here, and she was too excited. She'll be fine by the time we're ready to speak. "

With that, Celestia ascended the staircase, floating Dash mid-air beside her, in pace.

" Dashie, C'mon now, gotta wake up. Atta' girl. " Applejack's voice resonated.

Slowly, Dash came to, Celestia and Applejack sitting beside her, propping her up.

" Sorry, sorry... I'm okay... Sorry... Don't bring me to the hospital again, please... " Dash asked, nearly pleadingly.

" We know, magic travel does that to most ponies. " Celestia said.

" Happened ta' me too. " Applejack said.

" Really? "

" Naw, but it could've! " Applejack punched her shoulder, and laughed.

The two went at it for a short whiled before addressed by Celestia.

" Are you two prepared to discuss why I have called you here? " She asked.

The quarrel stopped at once, and they both nodded their heads.

" Two mares of your statutes, albeit bearers of two of the elements of harmony, are both engaged in something I have never seen before. A relationship. "

Her face moulded into that of a stern elder.

" Answer this honestly. Is this... Relationship... Truly a passion, or a creation of lust? I shall think no more or less of you for either answer. "

The two mares look at each other. Was it truly passion and love they felt? Or was it lust-driven desire?

There was no answer. There couldn't be. Celestia waited patiently.

Applejack was the first to act, approaching Dash.

" Waddya' think Rainbow? "

" .... I'm.... " Dash pondered the question, and turned to meet Applejack's gaze,

" I've known you a while AJ, and I always knew you were pretty cool... I just didn't think we'd... " The two blushed lightly.

" Don't reckon' id'a thought so neither, I ain't complaining though. "

Dash pawed at the ground lightly, nervous under the watch of Celestia.

Deciding it was appropriate, Dash stole a kiss from Applejack, and retreated nervously.

Applejack stiffened a bit, looking to Dash in surprise.

" Sorry, I'm not real big on all that mushy stuff... " Dash said with a light laugh.

The atmosphere took a heavier tone, and Celestia began to smile at the two.

" So, what is your answer? " She asked.

They looked to each other once more.

" I... Reckon I love her. "

"I guess I do too... "

They nuzzled affectionately, closing their eyes, if only for the moment.

They made eye contact, the moment spark went off, and they separated, that First blush seeming to find it's way out of them.

Celestia was certain that this would happen, but the scene, unfolding in front of her..... It was surreal.

The fact that two mares, no stallions whatsoever, two mares, could develop such a connection naturally...

Celestia smiled as she thought of Twilight. This seemed like her field of expertise, questioning and recording...

It felt good, attaining your own knowledge of something, instead of somepony else recording and presenting it for you.

For one last time, the awkward silence crept it's way amidst the three, until Applejack spoke.

" Reckon we can be gettin' home? " Applejack asked, seemingly unable to look at Dash, who shared the feeling.

Celestia seemed to not hear her.

" Princess? " Dash asked, stepping forward.

Celestia snapped from her state of mind, back to reality.

" Oh, yes, my apologies young ones, I was in thought. Anyways, how would you two like to stay with me and my sister for the next few days? We are going to be taking a trip back to Ponyville soon, and until then, we can show you around Canterlot. "

Celestia thought to herself. ' And see how exactly you two act in public... '

Suddenly she felt extremely filthy. Was she really going to trick these two into staying here to study them like the rats that swarmed the dungeons? Was that truly the way to do things?

' As ruler of these lands, I must do whatever is called for to ensure the betterment of every living being... And curiosity is a major deciding factor. '

Applejack and Dash thought to themselves. After contemplation, they turned to each other, nodding with smiles.

" We're in! " They spoke in unison.

Accommodations were arranged, and Celestia called for Luna, as they toured the two around the castle, Celestia noting every movement.

Soon Luna had left to commit to her duties of raising the moon, and Celestia returned to her chambers.

The room was not much larger than that of the surrounding rooms, just slightly. She felt a larger room made her feel as if any other pony didn't deserve something of the same caliber, therefore she stayed in the same conditions as every other pony. Albeit the were butlers and guards around every corner.

Luna was the only other one to stay in the same wing as Celestia, just down the hall. The occasional trusted guest(s) also sometimes stayed in the master residential wing, but rarely. The two guests were here, but on the opposite hall, one floor below.

They had been offered a room each for the next few days, but resolved to simply share one. No arguments were made, but baffled looks dominated the guard's features when they made an affectionate gesture.

Applejack requested the guards to not disturb them under any circumstance, and locked the door behind her.

( Remember, there has never been a recorded Female-only relationship in HISTORY. This Is not frowned upon, but it is unheard of. Sorry for interrupting, just wanted to have a reminder.)
