Nuptials

Old Friends

The sound of the closing door made Cadance flinch. She groaned and rolled into the middle of the empty bed. She thought to herself, "I'm going to have to work that outta him." Just another thing on the list of his habits that she'd "fix" in time. Without Shining in it, the bed felt giant. Cadance rolled freely across the entire width of it trying a comfortable position so she could get back to sleep. The cool sheets invited her to slumber but her mind would not oblige. Recounting the events of her honeymoon to Celestia and Luna had got her wishing for an encore performance from Shining. But as the wife of the Captain, she knew that nights alone were part of the job description.

Tossing and turning in bed, she thought back to what she had heard Twilight saying to Shining earlier in the day. Twilight had seemed so upset at her brother, Cadance was worried that Twilight thought that she was the one to blame. The idea that one her oldest friends, the filly she had foal-sat for years, might be upset at her made her toss more and more. Her tossing sent the covers piling onto the floor beside the bed. Frustrated, she got out of the bed and paced around the chamber. Trotting in circles around the room she ran over different scenarios in her head, trying to figure out her best course of action. She walked over to the grand window that looked out across the castle complex. She looked over all the dark windows and the empty courtyards. Only one light pierced the darkness, from another one of the castle towers. The chamber at the top was lit up as if it were daylight. Under the guise of getting some fresh air, Princess Cadance decided to put her "all-access" status to use and investigate.

Cadance was not used to the empty corridors. Her steps echoed around her as she imagined the usual crowds parting and bowing before her. The only soul she met along the way was a lone guard who dutifully stepped aside and bowed until she passed. The tower with the illuminated room was one of the tallest the castle had to offer. The stairs took a long time for her to climb, by the time she reached the top she was exhausted and wishing she hadn't left the bed. But she had come all this way, she wasn't about to turn away now. Confirming she was at the right room, light flooded out from under the door. Unknowing what to expect, she knocked on the wooden door. She hoped that she wasn't waking anyone or interrupting any "activities". Within seconds she saw a shadow cast its self through the bottom of the door.

To her surprise, the face that greeted her was a familiar one. Twilight seemed just as surprised. "What are you doing here?" she asked. The intonation of her voice confirmed Cadance's suspicions that Twilight was at least a little upset at her.

Attempting to diffuse the situation, Cadance fell back to her foal-sitting experience with a bit of humour, "What are you still doing up? Your bed time was hours ago!"

This cracked the stone facade of Twilight's face. She smiled and stepped aside, inviting Cadance in with her body language. "It's the Mare-seids meteor shower tonight! It only happens once a year and tonight is its brightest night!" she explained as Cadance observed the telescope set up at the window. While Twilight was closing the door, Cadance took a quick glance around the room. The walls were lined with bookshelves straining under the weight of the many volumes stacked on them. On the room's desk she saw a stack of papers, the top sheet titled "Shining Armour - Transgressions".

Twilight dashed past her back to the telescope, carefully adjusting the multitude of dials along its length. Cadance began to address her hoping she was paying attention, "Twilight, I wanted to talk to you."

"Hold that thought!" Twilight announced, "It's starting! Would you mind hitting the lights?"

"Of course." Cadance replied snuffing out the candles on the desk. Darkness enveloped the room and she joined Twilight at the window. She stared up at the night sky, brilliant streaks of light shot across it. "Absolutely beautiful..." she remarked, "You always were one for science."

"Here, come take a closer look," Twilight stepped away from the eyepiece. Cadance tentatively looked through the aperture, through the lenses even more streaks of light covered the sky. She watched in awe the beauty that nature was capable of. She hoped that wherever Shining was he'd have the chance to look up and see it.

She stepped back from the telescope, "I never understood how stuff like this worked."

"Oh it's simple!" Twilight giddily replied, "When a meteoroid passes through our atmosphere is begins to burn up from the friction. It leaves a trail of debris behind it, that trail is what is actually called the meteor!" Cadance only understood about six of those words. In the silence that followed, she figured now was as good a time as any.

"I'd like to apologize."

"There's no need to. I'm sure whatever it was you were doing was worth it."

Unsure if she was playing dumb, avoiding the obvious or legitimately unknowing, Cadance asked, "Twilight, do you know what ponies do on their honeymoons?"

"Well not really.... But whatever it was it sure left my brother exhausted." Cadance desperately tried to hide her blushing.

"Well, when two ponies love each other very, very much they-"

"Get married! Just like you and Shining did."

"Y- Y- Yes but..." Cadance raced to find an easier way to explain this. She looked at all the books around the room. "Do you have any books on pony biology in here?" Without pause Twilight made a beeline to one of the shelves. She cocked her head to the side before pulling one out with her magic. She guided it over to Cadance who grabbed it with her magic. She lit a candle on the desk and flipped through the pages until she found the section on reproduction. She passed it back to Twilight. "Read this, I think it'll help you understand."

Twilight's eyes rapidly skipped back and forth across the page, they opened wider and wider with each line. "Umm...oh...uhhh..." she hummed and hawed down the page. A glance at the illustrations on the page had Cadance wondering if Shining was back in bed yet. Twilight finished her reading and put the book away on the shelf, she was obviously deep in thought.

"Well, it's already late, if you want to talk more about it come find me tomorrow." Cadance said. But Twilight didn't hear this.

"Is it as good as the book says?"

"Well... yes, yes it is."

"Show me."

"What!"

"Please?" she asked childlike, "It's the only way I'll ever be able to fully understand it! We'll never tell anyone, I promise!"

Cadance was flabbergasted. Herself and Twilight? Sure they were old friends, but she had never envisioned something like this. It seemed like something ripped straight out of a bad porno, or so she imagined. But something about the taboo of it lodged its self deep in her mind. She decided to have some fun and play the role of the seductive foalsitter, if only for one night. "Sure," she said, "let's do it. But what about Shining? I'm sure he's waiting for me back in our room."

"I don't think we need to worry about him. Come look," she Twilight pointed out the window across the courtyard to the window of Luna's chamber. Flickering candlelight painted three silhouettes against the white curtains.

Cadance figured that if Shining was busy she could at least have some fun Twilight. She was curious however, "How did you know he had a meeting?"

"I'm Celestia's star pupil and the sister of the Captain of the Royal Guards. There isn't much that goes on around here that I don't know about." She walked over to, and climbed onto the bed, "So, how does this usually start?"

Cadance joined her on the bed, "Well, usually they kiss for a little bit first."

"You mean like this?" Twilight gave her a dry peck on the cheek.

"No, it's more like this..." Cadance leaned in to Twilight's face. Twilight melted under the touch of her lips. To keep her from falling away, Cadance wrapped her hoof around her. In her relaxed state Twilight let Cadance do all the work. She opened her mouth and let Cadance explore it with her tongue. She felt the warm muscle feel around the inside of her mouth. Twilight did what seemed natural and kissed Cadance back. The two were locked at the lips, both their eyes closed, Cadance with her front legs wrapped around Twilight's neck. After what felt like an eternity to both of them, Twilight came back to her sense and gasped a deep breath.

Her heart was racing, exhilarated from the new experience. She panted trying to catch her breath. Cadance was short of breath as well, the thrill of the taboo; as well her mind's realization of deep-seeded fantasies that she didn't even know she had. "So... What do we do now?" Twilight squeaked out between breaths.

Cadance gently leaned Twilight back against the pillows. "Just lean back and relax, I'll show you everything." She kissed her once more on the lips and then moved down between her legs. Twilight watched in anticipation of what she was going to do. Twilight held her legs together, Cadance carefully parted them with her hooves, holding them open. Looking up at her, Cadance said, "Don't worry, I'd never do anything that'd hurt you." Twilight nodded in understanding. Knowing that she understood, Cadance broke eye contact and focused on the task in front of her.

She had no experience eating pussy herself, everything she knew was from what Shining had done to her. Faced with the task of being Twilight's first, she decided to emulate what had felt good to her. She started slow, kissing the soft coat on the inside of Twilight's leg. Twilight squirmed with pleasure enjoying the intimate touch. She circled around her several times, she could see that Twilight was getting wet from her gentle kisses. Her pussy was small and simple, cute almost. Her little slit glistened from her moistness. Cadance figured she had teased her long enough.

Twilight's back arched in pleasure. Cadance had to be careful that she didn't bite her tongue from being knocked by Twilight's hips. She placed a hoof across her tiny teats to try and keep her in place. She lapped at Twilight's puffed lips, knowing what would feel the best, she went straight for her clit. She teased it with the tip of her tongue, each lick sent visible shivers up Twilight's back. But she had to be careful, they had just begun, there was no way she was going to let Twilight orgasm this fast. She went back to licking the lips of Twilight's pussy, tasting her sweet juices. She prodded her slit with her tongue, going places that no pony had ever been before.

She licked up one side and down the other. Twilight's spasms had been replaced by moans as she discovered the pleasure that her body was capable of. Cadance buried her face between Twilight's legs, every few minutes treating her to a long lick of her clit. While her mouth played with her friend's pussy, Cadance rubbed Twilight's teats. By her reaction, she could tell that she was loving it. Her eyes closed and biting her upper lip, Twilight thrashed her head side to side enjoying every moment of it. Cadance was getting wet too, the fulfillment of fantasies she never knew she had drove the pleasure centers of her mind wild. Awkwardly trying to do three things at once, she put her one free hoof between her legs to pleasure herself.

Her own hoof was good but with a willing mouth in front of her it seemed like nothing. She decided to bring Twilight to a climax so she could get her turn. Twilight was still in the throws if her pleasure, the same way that she herself had been after one of the multiple marathon sessions of lovemaking she had had with Shining. She was afraid the if she just drove her to orgasm without warning she would be nothing but a husk once it was over, and that would mean she'd have to wait longer for her own release. She stopped her actions to get Twilight's attention, she figured if she talked her through it she'd hopefully come out on the other side lucid. "Twilight, have you ever had an orgasm before? Do you even know what an orgasm is?"

"N- No," she replied.

"Well you're about to have your first, it's going to feel better than anything you've ever felt. Are you ready for that?"

"I g- guess so."

"Then just close your eyes and enjoy." Twilight put her head back and Cadance went back to between her purple legs. She lavished Twilight's clit with her tongue, drawing circles around it and gently sucked on it. Twilight's back arched higher than before and she moaned louder than the last time. She was obviously close to her first orgasm, Cadance thought jealously about her experiencing the ultimate pleasure for the very first time. She suckled harder on her clit and played with her teats. Half suggesting, half commanding, she told Twilight, "You can cum anytime you want."

"Ahhhhhh!" Twilight screamed in pleasure. Cadance moved back on the bed to watch the results of her handiwork. She stood back and watched Twilight writhe in pleasure before her. She was quiet proud of her work, Twilight's movements betrayed the intensity of what she was experiencing. When she finally calmed down, her cheeks were bright red from embarrassment. "I'm so sorry."

"Sorry for what dear? Feeling good?"

"I think I wet the bed." Cadance looked between her legs, the sheets were indeed dark with dampness.

"Don't worry, that's perfectly natural," she paused, "But if you ever do this with a colt, maybe give him a little warning."

Cadance let awkward silence fill the room so Twilight could catch her breath. When she had finally stopped panting and the blush had disappeared from her face Cadance she broke the silence, "My turn!" She crawled up to the head of the bed and lay down. Twilight took up position between Cadance's pink legs, her moves were still a little lethargic from the ordeal her body had just gone through. She was obviously unsure of what to do, Cadance was worried that she'd have to walk her through all the basics so she could get her kicks. Her hesitance forced Cadance's hand, "Go ahead."

"What should I do?"

"Well just do what I did to you." Twilight nervously nestled her face between her legs. She copied Cadance's moves, kissing the inside of her thighs. It felt good, but Cadance just wanted a quick release. "You can skip that part," she told Twilight. But Twilight's inexperience was conspiring against a speedy conclusion to Cadance's night.

She licked tentatively at Cadance's wet lips. In an attempt to sound sexy she told Cadance, "You taste good." Cadance smiled but tried to focus on every one of her sense but hearing. Twilight licked at the pink pussy in front of her. She played with the clit in front of her with her tongue, just like she had had done to her earlier. Twilight tried playing with Cadance's teats. They were much bigger than her own, and firmer too. But with her limited experience she had to focus most of her attention on what she knew felt best for Cadance.

Things were not moving fast enough for Cadance, she again picked up the verbal handholding, "Why don't you just skip to the last part." Twilight obliged and began to pay special attention to her clit. Cadance felt her paint circles around it with her tongue and begin to suck on it. Cadance could feel herself getting close to a climax, albeit a small one. She felt as Twilight worked around her, getting her closer and closer. Cadance gasped as she fell over the edge, her body shuddered as the pleasure filled her from top to bottom. Twilight didn't know any better and kept going. "You can stop now," she told her.

"Oh. Uh. Was it good for you?"

"Yes, is was fine." The two ponies lay beside each other. Twilight was content in the afterglow of her first time, even if she didn't quiet grasp the significance of what had just happened, she knew it felt good. Cadance was just as happy to have gotten some release that night. She was also happy, almost proud to have been Twilight's first. They lay in bed together, just like they had done when Twilight was little and had had a bad dream. Both of them had felt close then, but this was something more, a closeness much deeper.

"I'm not mad anymore," Twilight said, "No wonder you two didn't get to see much."

"Don't go to hard on him tomorrow," remarked Cadance.

"Oh I think I will, he'll know something's up if I don't." The two of them laughed.

"I need to go, I'm sure Shining would appreciate me being there when he gets back." Cadance got up and left the room, snuffing out the lone candle on her way out. "Now get some sleep or I'll tell your parents!" She heard Twilight laughing as she closed the door behind her.

Walking back through the dark halls Cadance was ready for bed. As she neared the stairway to her chamber, she was surprised to hear the jingling of armour on an approaching pony. She was even more surprised to see that it was Shining. He was so exhausted he didn't even question why she was out this late at night. "Rough meeting?" she asked him.

"Exhausting. Those Princesses sure can be demanding when they want to be." They walked together up the stairs to his chamber. Shining held the door open for his wife. While she climbed into bed, he shed his armour into a pile in the corner. He got into bed beside her, the Royal Couple quickly fell asleep wrapped in each others arms.

Morning came late the next day. Everypony had something to do. Celestia, Luna and Cadance had royal business to attend to. Twilight had to pack for the trip back to Ponyville. And Shining Armour had to wait to for his little sister, he had promised her that he would walk her to the train station. After lunch, he found her waiting in the castle entryway. In silence he carried her suitcase for her through the busy streets of Canterlot. The whole walk he expected her to break out in admonishments at any second. But by the time they reached the train station not a word had been exchanged. He handed the suitcase to the conductor and went to see her off.

The two stood facing each other in front of the first-class coach. Just as he went to open his mouth, the shrill whistle of the engine cried out across the platform. "All aboard!" carried on its heels.

Moving too fast for him to comprehend, Twilight kissed him on the cheek and said, "I understand completely BBBFF." She hopped onto the train and the door closed behind her. She waved out the window as the train jerked forward. Still not fully understanding what just happened, Shining turned to go back to the castle. He had a guard shift that evening, but he knew that the anticipation of spending the night with Cadance afterwards would get him through it.
