Nymphomania

Pinkie Pie was lost within the bric-a-brac of Twilight's library. Certificates, rows of ink vials... and wait. Her whole body zipped over to a strange box made of rock. Pinkie Pie craned her neck observing it from all sides, but being careful not to touch it. Twilight gave her very specific instructions to leave her bedroom untouched, but this rock box fascinated her curiously so. Pinkie Pie forced herself away, dragging herself away leg by leg to the bed as she fought her curiosity. Within her mind her frequent skipping thoughts had been replaying a disturbing theme.

Of course she could make ponies laugh and smile, and she was a talented party-planner of Ponyville, maybe even Equestria. No doubt about that. Yeah, that wasn't the issue. Pinkie had just been thinking about love. The Princess Cadance and Shining Armor kinda love... It was sweet like Mrs. Cake's favorite triple chocolate fudge ripple ganache cake. So genuine and sincere, that's why their love blasted Queen Chrysalis and her cronies into the sky. It was this kind of love that Pinkie wondered about, of course it brought the newly-weds joy, and happiness, yet Pinkie wasn't too keen on mere hearsay. She wanted to know personally. She wanted to know if it was more than just smiles, and laughter, and she thought of a few clever loopholes to get a certain somepony interested.

"Phew!" Twilight sighed exasperated as she finished drying her mane. She focused her magic next on preening her softly tangled mane. She'd been behind on reorganizing the library due to the sudden wedding, but with the stress of the Changeling attack at rest she decided to unwind in some somewhat-personal time. Admittedly was a bit out of the dark of Pinkie to volunteer, but she was more shocked that Pinkie had kept her bedroom in the same condition she left. "Now, what did you want to talk to me about Pinkie?"

"Oh... um." Pinkie gulped softly "I was wondering if you would be interested in a new experi-idea that I've been thinking about." Pinkie asked as she slid off the sheets over to Twilight, retaining her laid back pose.

Twilight winced, once for another show of Pinkie's odd talent, and again when she heard Pinkie Pie thinking about an experiment." This isn't the sentient cupcake companion idea is it?" Twilight smiled, chuckling nonchalantly.

"Noooo." Pinkie said sweetly.

"Brooms?" Twilight added.

"Wrong again" Pinkie playfully scolded, her impatience was making her prance in place in anxiousness.

"No, it's about you... and me!" Pinkie huffed. Flopping to the bedroom floor. Pinkie felt her hoof knock on the rock box. She froze in place as she glanced at Twilight. Her back facing pinkie as she inspected her mane in the mirror.

"Pinkie I've already told you, I accept your clairvoyance... Pinkie Sense is A-okay in my book." Twilight assured her. As twilight looked back to pinkie she was already standing up, cheeks uncomfortably stretched in a smile.

"It's not about Pinkie Sense, well not entirely. I mean it's not about the "Pinkie Sense" but how I sense. I want to know what it is like to have a somepony."

Twilight stared wide-eyed at Pinkie. "I-uh... I don't follow." Twilight pulled a section of her mane and began to pet it.

"Well the wedding made me think about my element, and if I'm fully embracing my gift. I mean I spread laughter all over Ponyville, but I've yet to see anypony interested in spending time to make Pinkie smile. Sometimes it's not enough to see everypony around me happy... sometimes I fake a smile so everypony around can smile too..." Pinkie sniffled. Her hair was in mid-deflate as she lost her air of joy.

Twilight pulled Pinkie close, she made her sympathies known as Pinkie's cheek rubbed Twilight's moist cheek. "I'm so sorry you-" Pinkie popped her lips to Twilight's for a quick peck. Twilight back away, pushing Pinkie off of her in the midst of the confusion. "Why would you do that!" She barked.

"I wanted to know what it felt like." Pinkie admitted.

"I didn't like it... I didn't want you to kiss me Pinkie. " Twilight angrily huffed.

"I'm sorry... I just wanted to know what love felt like... like Mr. and Mrs. Cake love."

"You're looking for something I'm not willing to "experiment" on Pinkie. That type of relationship is meant for ponies that really care for each other."

"I thought you did! I mean why else would you give up logic and reasoning over Pinkie Sense? Those are things that mean a lot to you... and you excused them, for me." Pinkie reasoned.

"I did it because... I don't know. I guess at the end of the day your Pinkie Sense wasn't harming you, and it helped Fluttershy so I figured it didn't matter if it was magical based... It is a part of you, and I care about you, as a friend." Twilight stated, huffing out her last breaths of aggression.

"Oh. Okay Twilight." Pinkie's hair puddled to the floor. "I guess I'll leave you alone..."

She made her way down the stairs, hoof turning the knob until.

"Pinkie. Would you mind coming here please..." Twilight asked. As Pinkie approached a pleasant lullaby grew louder. Twilight lifted the rock shaped box and placed it on her lectern. "Princess Cadance asked me to watch over this. It is an ancient manuscript. She believes it has information about where Queen Chrysalis came from." Pinkie nodded along, unsure about what that had to do with her. Then she realized that it was the "rock box" under her bed.

The two of them quickly exchanged glances as they tried to make sense of the tome's odd symbols. Pinkie felt the honeyed lullaby sing softly to her, she felt a strange shiver pulse through her body as the letters flickered with a certain logic.

"It kinda looks like an 'O' and a 'Y' stuck together, like an old looking glass." Pinkie mused innocently.

"A looking glass? You mean a magnifying glass?" Twilight corrected. "If that's the case... then where's the lens?" she added.

"Oh! Oh! It's in the little O See it Twilight?" Pinkie started playfully bouncing on her tippy-hooves. the song played louder,as the tome gave off a shimmering glow around the letters and muffled voice began to call to her.

"Pink one... please save, us."

"Yes Pinkie, I see it but... I still don't understand why there's a magnifying glass outside the tome." Twilight calmly agreed as she scratched her forehead in bemusement.

"Obviously it's for reading Twilight." Pinkie innocently lamented. Twilight face fell deadpan as she sighed darkly.

"Thanks Pinkie." She softly mumbled bitterly. "Well I have no interest in reading it. Cadance told me to protect it, and by looks alone I might be more likely to crack the book then unlock it."

Pinkie kept nodding even after Twilight had finished talking. Twilight raised a brow, waving a hoof in front of Twilight.

"uhh... Pinkie?" Twilight asked concerned.

Pinkie turned to Twilight, her hair had regained its curled volume. She shook her head hastily. "Wait, what was that Twilight? It's getting hard to hear you over the singing book."

Twilight snapped a quick glance to ancient book than to Pinkie. "It's... singing to you? Sweet Celestia Pinkie! Are you sure you didn't touch it? "

"I didn't touch it Twilight! I just looked at it on your bed." She lied. Pinkie's left eye twitched.

"What is it singing about?" Twilight haphazardly quipped.

"I don't know, I can't really understand it. There's a voice,but it is muffled. It sounds sad, and the chorus just keeps repeating 'amore'." Pinkie whimpered.

"Cadance? It's singing about Princess Cadance? I'll send her an urgent message, maybe she can help us?" Twilight readied her magic with a quill, but Pinkie quickly grabbed it.

"What, no! That's what the book wants." Pinkie groaned. she placed her hoof to the book. "I hear it better now... there's someone stuck in the book."

"We can't free them Pinkie, it could be a trap." Twilight cried. "now take your hoof off the book, I'll-umm send it to Celestia before anything else happens. We'll get to the bottom of it with her help."

"You can't. The book... it needs magic. Magic gives it life" Pinkie explained painfully. "I.. I can feel it calling to me twilight, It wants you to use your magic on it. It-it's screaming -at me. It wants to give me Love, it wants to give you knowledge... things Celestia has kept from you."

Twilight readied her horn "it's not worth the knowledge it holds. Stand back Pinkie!" Twilight's horn flared with power as she let loose a barrage of magic missiles. Pinkie tugged at her hoof, but a magic held her close. As each missile flew by the book siphoned them in like food, a green shield-like orb encased Pinkie, absorbing Twilight's magic. Pinkie felt its power grow but, the singing ceased. It was replaced but a sickly whisper.

"Thank you Bearer of Magic." It said lowly.

"Your not- wait I can hear the book too now?" Twilight gasped.

"Release me, Unicorn." It pleaded.

"No. If you were trapped in a book, there was a reason. Plus you hurt my friend."

"Bearer of magic, why do you deny your thirst for knowledge. I know much of the vitriquine-or as you call them Crystal- Ponies. You need but-"

"I'm not playing your game, whatever it may be." Twilight protested defiantly.

"Even if I have written word of a certain star-studded stallion? One that dabbles in pointy hats, and time magic?"

"Especially so." Twilight grimaced. She didn't know how it could, but just the thought of it trying to bait her scholarly mind sickened her. How it knew her personal interests soured any scenario for the book's safety, and it could sense that. it let out a hiss and the room became still.

"You hear those words Bearer of Laughter, of Joy. She sickens me with her false sense of friendship. She fired missiles towards you to end me, yet I kept you safe. I know Joy of the purest form. There is laughter, yes but so much more. True joy in unending and spreads like a smile. You need but turn the key."

"I can't," she said, as she tugged on her hoof, "But I want to."

The book loosened its grip on her, and Pinkie ran towards Twilight. Twilight did not budge. Pinkie wrapped her in a tight hug. "Twilight please save me."

"Hush yourself, have you betrayed me so easily? Maybe you truly are blinded by her friendship. I thought you stronger than to run back to her so eagerly."

"You don't kn-"

"I dont have to know you, to understand you crave something stronger than what she will give you. You will be her friend, but the taint of your love untouched, and her disgust will linger. So much longer than you could bear. She knows only of her magic, of friendship. What you need is a bearer that knows of Love. That sweet princess holds but a facade, of smiles and jaded laughter. I know of intimacy."

Pinkie gulped, as the room grew hazy. She could feel her heart thumping. She knew it was a trap, and yet the words rang true somehow. The key assembled in front of her and softly fell to her hooves. It was wrong to take the key. It would be foolish to open the book. It was also foolish to believe that her a Twilight could ever truly be friends with that same level of innocence as before. She had tainted their friendship because friendship was all Twilight could give. She would have to learn of love somewhere else. Maybe it was a feeling locked away in a book. Maybe it was a sensation she could only receive if willing to take risks. As these thoughts plagued her mind. she took the key, walked to the book, placed the key to its slot and turned. The key fell back to its pieces, the door snapped open and a plummed of magic seeped from the book.

"What do you desire." The entity asked.

"I wish to know love and spread its joy to Equestria."

"I ask but a simple favor in return."

"Yes, anything."

The entity took an equine form "You will discover love with me, in turn, we will both become whole."

Pinkie opened her arms and embraced the figure. "I Pinkie Promise."

"Look at her over there, relishing in the joy she craves." It hummed. Twilight turned to Pinkie, back pinned against the wall. Her gasps were muffled but rang with unnatural pleasure, her eyes seemed cemented in the back of her skull.

"What are you doing to her?" Twilight commanded.

"Why don't you see for yourself?" It darkly hissed. The magnifying glass glistened in an oppressive radiance.

Twilight furrowed her brow and raced towards Pinkie. Pinkie's eyes rolled back and fixated on Twilight as she laboriously shook her head and screamed, shooing Twilight from her pleasure. Twilight used a quick scrying spell to no effect. She could tell something invisible was holding Pinkie hostage, yet she refused to listen to the Tome's eerie advice. She placed her hoof to Pinkie's searching for anything holding her friend back. Pinkie flinched and shoved Twilight away. Twilight grimaced and brought her hoof to Pinkie's mouth. Nothing felt odd, yet Pinkie wasn't talking.

"What's gotten into you Pinkie?" Twilight's eyes widened. "Into." Twilight repeated.

She held her tears back and she knew exactly where the magical invader was now. She closed her eyes mournfully, and let out a defeated sigh. When her eyes returned to Pinkie her mien was resolute, she forced her magic to lift the magnifying glass's pieces and assembled the glass. A low crack came from the tome and a hiss of dust snaked throughout the library. With the glass complete she laid her eyes on Pinkie and shuddered at her looming mistake.

A ghost-like being mostly made up of veins and gnarled spores held Pinkie Pie, like prey in a web. With the magnifying glasses' amplified magic the sounds became disturbingly audible. Pinkie was stuck in a daze, chanting a language Twilight have never heard, with the occasional pleas of 'don't stop' and 'yes!' breaking the droning chant. A steady ripple of fluids dripped from Pinkie's marehood. But that isn't what disturbed Twilight the most. The strange mass was regaining color, and Twilight could only imagine that meant she had release this.

"You cringe at my visage? That is to be expected... I gave up much to survive." It admitted.

Twilight whipped a quill at the monster like a dart. As the quill sank in, its flesh puffed up and encased the quill like a thick oil.

"Pinkie" It cooed lovingly. "Do you see how this Twilight reacts to our union? She wishes to end me, to end us!" It hissed.

"What? Why would Twilight do that?" Pinkie moaned. A phallic-shaped mushroom slide out of Pinkie, and she began to cry. "Don't leave me Lek!" She pleaded to it, trying to push the spore back in.

"Stop Pinkie!" Twilight gasped, yanking at the soggy mushroom with her hooves. A puff of ocher spores dusted her body and Twilight backed away wheezing. Now it was fully fleshed out, and its divine form outstretched her meager perceptions. Lek was all-encompassing, cradling Pinkie in a fleshy cocoon filled with a plethora of fluids, veins and pleasuring tentacles to satisfy her dreams. Twilight gasped as she felt one of the many veins wrap slowly within the depressions of her horn.

All sense of danger escaped, her eyes dulled peacefully. As the vein slowly sapped magic from Twilight a tingle of pleasure raced through her. her mouth gaped slowly as the vein's thirst increased. Lek grew thicker in size with every magic pulse. Its features slowly regained their vigor. It let out a exhale thick of dust and spores.

"Now do you distaste me, Twilight?" Lek mockingly probed.

"No." Twilight droned.

"Do you crave that knowledge still, or do you wish to embrace in true joy?"

"I want Pinkie." She moaned sheepishly.

"Did you hear that Pinkie? Now she wants you." It bitterly jibbed. "She wants you now... because you are taken."

Pinkie eerie chuckled along with Lek. "We could always let her know what it feels like, can't we Lek?"

"Of course my queen," Lek uttered. Another tendril slithered over to Twilight. "Take our offering, and share in your friend's embrace." Lek replied.

Twilight slowly stretched a hoof to the tendril, as she leaned in her dripping tongue a writhing howl came from Lek. Pinkie seized wildly as Lek's form withered back into dust. His imposing form spiraled back into the closing book. Pinkie and Lek screamed in unison as each was ripped from another. Twilight gasped as she regained her senses, turning to the tome. Spike had clicked the handle of the magnifying glass into a hidden keyhole of the tome.

"What was that monster?!" Spike roared in panic. "It got both of you into some crazy chant." He added.

"That was an ancient cre-" Twilight said shortly before a cry from Pinkie rang out.

"He was my mine!" Pinkie stuttered passionately, stilled shuttering on the floor.

Twilight tightly hugged her."He was using you Pinkie! That's not true love. That's the love Queen Chrysalis would give. You don't want that do you?" Twilight reasoned.

"No...." Pinkie sniffled. "I made a promise... A pinkie promise."

"Oh, Pinkie." Twilight rubbed her cheek to Pinkie's "Everyone wants a special someone. Be it dragons, or mules or ponies. Nobody wants to be alone, or feel alone. It's the memories and the journey it takes to find them that really unites another." Pinkie pushed her away from her embrace.

Pinkie smiled weakly. "Okay Twilight." Pinkie's smile subtly grew as she thought of Lek's final words to her in his passing, she would not be alone for long. He had blessed her with the tools to grant her true desire. To share pure joy with everypony, and with time...

Everyone.
