Cherry had been working her cutie mark off. Prince Blueblood had needed a pony to help him organize the changelings and with their queen and their 'princesses' out, she was apparently the closest thing to a manager they had.

"Okay, so we have everypony in the safe side of the city managed." Sleek had a big stack of scrolls with names on them. "The other side is… less than welcoming. There are a few of us over there, but they are lying low. Somepony came up with a spell that not only detects a disguised changeling but can pick up on the mental influence on one."

The mention of mental influence had Cherry blushing hotly. Every time she thought of Sliver she shifted her back legs. And of course thinking of her did it to her again. It was better than feeling anger, though, and without Sliver's eyes, her beautiful, blue eyes…

"Cherry? Cherry? What's up?" Sleek was waving a hoof before the pegasus' face until she snapped from her daydream.

"Ugh, it's Sliver. I can't stop thinking about her, and when I think about her I get turned on, and when I get turned on I space out." Cherry flopped down, burying her snout in her forehooves.

"Shh, relax. We could get you another to put the whammy on." Sleek settled down beside the distraught mare and snuggled into her. "Or I could…"

Beside Cherry, suddenly, was a ball of green fire followed by… "Sliver?"

The smaller changeling mare tilted her head and batted her eyelashes, something Sleek had never done before but that Sliver used on occasion. Not a word did the disguised changeling say, instead leaning in and pressing her lips to Cherry's own. The ache inside undid, Cherry's twisted need to be with the domme changeling was sated with the kiss and she found herself melting into the embrace.

It wasn't cheating, it couldn't be, this was still Sleek but… The touch at Cherry's tail drew a moan from her, her lips parting against the dark ones as green magic flowed around behind her. They didn't even part from the kiss before the changeling formed a wedge of their magic and pushed it into the already soaked mare.

Cherry couldn't and wouldn't stop, she moaned into her disguised mate's mouth, she shoved her tongue forward and ran it over the fine, sharp teeth of the changeling. She didn't care about what was going on, about the disguise, or anything, she gave in to the mental touch still in her head and it felt good.

The lips drew back from Cherry's a moment and she tried to open her eyes only to find them held closed. "No no, no peeking, you know who I am." Sleek's voice reassured the pegasus and she pushed forward again and found soft lips waiting again. Lifting her tail, she felt a phantom pair of lips kiss her back there, a part of her excited at how good Sleek had gotten with her magic.

Sleek watched as her wife made out with the smaller changeling, she had let the fire take her back to her normal form. Cherry hadn't noticed when the other changeling slipped in. Leaning in again, pressing her lips under her lover's tail, Sleek Guise curled her tongue around the pegasus' clitoral hood and sucked on it.

The deep moan the horny mare gave was directly into Sliver's mouth and the mare pushed with her tongue, overpowering Cherry's own and tasting the inside of the pegasus. She felt those blunt teeth, licked up and down them, then focused on the mare's tongue. Licking it, she finally let go of her boss' eyelids.

Cherry opened her eyes, staring deep into the blue depths of Sliver's. Something was off but it was far too late for her to complain, the attention of those lips at her vulva drove her over the edge and the mare began to suck on the changeling's tongue.

Sleek tasted her mate, loved not only the physical taste of the mare but also the taste of her love; she really was something incredible. "My turn now?" Sliver had finally gotten her tongue free and kissed Cherry on the lips.

Time seemed to freeze for Cherry, she spun to look behind her and saw Sleek, grinning and wearing some of the pegasus' juices on her chin still. "But you… what is going on?" The worst bit was, still feeling little aftershocks of her climax, Cherry was also forced to look at Sliver, which just made her libido rise again.

"I thought something was wrong, you tasted very… well, intense. If I had known it was just the two of you, I would have left." Sliver licked her lips, the love Cherry had radiated had been some of the best she had ever tasted. "When I saw what you two were doing, Sleek waved me over and changed with me."

"You're both terrible ponies." Cherry couldn't keep a smile from her lips. "Terrible… terrible…" Her voice melted into a happy sigh as Sleek slid her head in under her tail again. "Terrible… wonderful…"

"It's gone." Vinyl looked up, she still had the music, the ponies, playing. The cold chill was off the air, the afternoon warmed with friendship and a bigger party than Vinyl had ever been to in the town.

"We are missing somepony." Octavia had to shout above the party, somepony had brought out Vinyl's speakers and, of course, the DJ had started playing real music to accompany the song of joy in their heads. Looking to the edge of town, the cellist saw who was missing. "There she is."

Starry was stepping slowly along the path, her eyes wide at seeing what was happening. The stains of tears soaked the fur of her face. Lyra bounded over to her. "Come and see, we chased off the monster with a party!"

"Monster? What happened?" Starry had been depressed and angry at the world all day and she hadn't known why.

"Something came and made everypony angry and then Vinyl, Octavia, and Muffins took us to the tree and the seeds stopped the bad feelings and everypony was making too much noise in our heads and Vinyl is bucking amazing!" Lyra jumped into the air and clopped her hooves together in joy. It was hard to feel unhappy, after all, with several hundred ponies singing about joy in your head.

"A tree? Is this that seed thing I heard about?" Starry was intrigued, Twinkle too. I want to try it, it would be nice to belong a little more.

"Yeah, I can feel it inside me, Vinyl assured me the seed won't grow anymore until… well, until I won't care anymore." Lyra reached to the pile and pulled a fruit over, offering it to Starry. "Will your… uh, passenger-."

"Twinkle." Twinkle replied, grinning.

"Will Twinkle be okay with it?" Lyra held the fruit just from the unicorn's grip but instead of the fruit she was the target of a hug!

Starry was still taking a back-seat, letting Twinkle have them for a moment. "Thank you, for caring enough to ask. I am willing to take the risk." Twinkle kissed Lyra chastely on the cheek and grabbed up the fruit with her own magic. "Do I have to eat it whole?"

Lyra was blushing a little from the kiss but nothing could shake her happy feeling. "Nah, you can chew it, just don't break up the seed."

Twinkle examined it but sent a query to Starry. Oh go on, I am sure we will be safe. Twinkle nodded to the sentiment and took a bite out of the soft flesh. "Oh wow that is good." Her eyes were focused on the soft fruit, nibbling it more and getting much of the slightly drugged juice into her mouth.

"Finish it off now, there are no seconds." Lyra giggled and watched as the unicorn finished off the fruit, gulping down the seed. "Okay, now lay down and I suggest getting on your back for the next bit."

Starry felt herself in control again, a suddenly nervous Twinkle letting her take over. Laying down, she squirmed a little at an odd feeling inside. It's growing! Twinkle squirmed deep inside the mare and Starry moaned out at the most intimate of feelings. Rolling to her back, Starry gazed up and saw Lyra standing over her. The feel of the seed growing was unique, unlike Twinkle, it was burrowing through her body, not just attaching to some nerves and blood vessels.

"I can feel it, it is in me too!" It was definitely Twinkle's amazed voice that came from the unicorn and Lyra nodded. "It… it feels nice, it doesn't hurt at all and I think it… wow…"

Lyra spotted the back leg of the mare start to twitch, and she knew what beat it was twitching to. "Got the beat?" A nod of the inverted mare's head was all Lyra got in reply. "Get ready, here comes the drop…"

Starry's eyes were wide, the music she heard thumping from Vinyl's speakers blended into the music filling her head. "Whoa…" Starry felt herself nod to the sentiment, then Twinkle added. "Yeah… whoa…"

The storm had followed Dash, she felt it now, it had left the mighty Heart of the Crystal Empire and followed its new friend. She snorted at the thought of a storm being smart enough to think, but if it hadn't followed her, then had she called it? Lightning struck around her, lancing from cloud to cloud and barely missing her. Then it didn't. The thrill of immense current flowing through her, around her, shocked Rainbow so much she forgot she should be dead from it.

Her wings flickered with a red glow as plasma lit up the tips of each feather, ranging from deep blue through the spectrum to red. Rainbow Dash glanced at it a moment, recognizing the same pattern as her mane and tail. "Awesome." The wind didn't just hold her up, it pushed her, it cupped under her wings and drove her in whatever direction she wished. The storm was hers and it loved her.

The windigo noticed the odd creature playing in the frighteningly large storm as it approached. It thought it was one of its brothers, it even felt like its brother, but it wasn't. Lightning arced from that storm, lancing in a tight missile that was so fast it could not be dodged. The windigo had never felt fear before, but something new was now pulsing in its incorporeal chest, apart from the hundreds of thousands of amps.

It fell back from the city, the strikes coming again and again. It tried to use its one element to confuse the creature, but even as it directed all its anger into the odd windigo-that-wasn't-a-windigo it only ended up getting hit faster.

Rainbow Dash wasn't sure at first if the lightning she sent did anything, but then she felt the anger build. Unlike her last fight against a windigo, this time being fed anger made her… well, it made her feel really, really good. She laughed and stopped mid air. She flapped her wings out of habit but her storm wouldn't let her fall. "This feels amazing!"

The second windigo slammed into her side and knocked her off the cloud-bank. It charged after her and she saw the gleam in its eyes. Despite how angry and ready to disembowel her it looked, Dash stopped, using her wings to cup air, calling more wind under her to hold her steady. The windigo hadn't expected this and by the time it got within striking distance the mare had dipped and whipped to the side.

Dash watched the windigo zoom through the space where she had been and she reached out casually with her hooves. Tucking her wings as she found purchase on the ethereal creature that, by all rights, she shouldn't be able to touch, Rainbow lifted her voice above the storm. "Stop!" Her mouth crackled with the feast the other windigo had given her. "This is not your home, why don't you just go?"

Talking hadn't been what the creature had planned, or was even capable of. It twisted and tried to throw loose its attacker but the pony seemed amazingly adept at keeping hold.

"That's it, I only know of one pony who can handle this." Rainbow gripped harder and spread her wings. The windigo in her embrace had no chance to fight her, it had spent all its energy trying to subdue Ponyville and had scant little food to show for it. Guided down, the spirit of anger and storms was pinned to the ground. Right before a surprised yellow pony with pink mane.

"Rainbow Dash, leave this poor thing alone!" Fluttershy stepped closer, any fear she might have had washed away at seeing how her friend was treating the spirit. "Oh you are starving! Rainbow, are you still mad?" The yellow pegasus only needed a glance to reveal that apart from her own intervention, the aqua mare was more than angry enough for what she planned. "Okay, here, my friend is just full of what you need."

Her eyes widening in shock, Rainbow watched as Fluttershy led the creature that moments ago had been locked in a deadly fight with her. "Uh, Fluttershy, I meant for you to get them a bowl of milk or…" She felt the creature reach to her, she felt the fear and hunger. Rainbow Dash reached out a hoof, lightning crackling over it.

The windigo fed, and fed, and fed. "There you go, I bet that feels better." Fluttershy was beaming with delight and bopped the spirit on the nose, or tried to. The action had the desired effect and the windigo drew back from Rainbow Dash. "Good, I can tell when you are full, mister, and you are plenty full right now."

Dash felt another presence, the second windigo at her back. She turned to it and saw how scared it looked. "Aw, you didn't have a chance, c'mere." Rainbow Dash jumped forward and hugged the ethereal pony spirit, feeding it from her reserves of anger that, she realized, seethed just below the surface. "Huh, I wonder if this is new…" She lifted a hoof and thought about what it could do.

"Dash?" Gray wings had born an alicorn to her lover and she paused as she took in the pegasus. "Rainbow Dash, what have you gotten yourself into?" Muffins had chased the windigo from Ponyville as best she could, she wasn't as fast as it, but the direction it was headed was not hard to discern. The oddest thing was, one of the creatures had moved in front of Rainbow, as if to defend her, while the other cowered behind her.

"Muffins!" Dash swept forward on her wings, flying over the protective windigo and wrapping her wings around her marefriend.

Author's Note

Oh darn, so everything is all wrapped up, right? Ponyville is fine (except everypony is still half-sapling), the Crystal Empire is fine (except stallions are getting pregnant), and now Canterlot is fine (except the nobles are likely still in revolt). Yeah, wrapped up...
