Shining rolled onto her back, looking playfully down her body as her wife entered the room. She said not a word, just gazing at the alicorn she loved like life itself.

Cadance's own love and desire flared at the sight, her strong stallion acting so… so very feminine. She stepped slowly, nostrils working to devour the scent of Shining Armor. "How do you want me?" She paused, her nose inches from the other mare's sex. Her eyes were fixed on her husband's.

"However you wish to take me." Shining practically trembled in desire, in need. She knew she was pregnant, but deep down a part of her, a very visceral part of her, wanted to 'make sure'. Her body's desire was met as she watched the alicorn Princess of Love work her magic and grow larger, more solid and… male. "That is a good start."

Cadance was surprised at how much the scent of his mate changed when he shifted to a male form. The smell of Shining sent a shiver through his body and he wouldn't wait another moment. Climbing up on the bed, Cadance pressed his barrel down against Shining's, delighting in the feel of their fur meeting.

Of course he was ready, Shining felt the kiss of the big stallion's shaft to her puckered, nether-lips. "I love you, Cadance." She didn't give her wife a moment to respond, leaning up and kissing the alicorn as her lover pushed forward. The kiss turned into a moan as Shining felt her body invaded by the large shaft.

Cadance took over the kiss, pushing down as he pushed in, shoving his tongue into Shining's soft mouth as he took her body. Pausing a moment in both endeavors, the princess lifted her lips up, curved into a big smile. "And I love you to, Shining Armor."

The words hung in the air, Shining couldn't take her eyes off the stallion's own and, when she noticed her lover's smile widen she knew what was coming. Cadance's body bucked, driving the wind from Shining and driving his desire deep into the mare under him.

Loud moans echoed through the room as Cadance began his pace, bucking full length into the mare over and over. Shining just tilted her head back, mouth open, wailing her adoration and desire to anypony who could hear.

During the act, neither cared who heard, neither could really think beyond their love and the amazing sex. Cadance built a solid pace, pushing deep until their groins collided, then pulling back far enough that his medial ring pulled out.

They were both so wrapped in their desire and pleasure that their orgasms seemed to be incidental, almost unnoticed. As sparks and lightning strikes started to rain down into Shining's awareness, she pulled her sight back down, capturing her lover's eyes with her own.

Cadance was trapped, he couldn't look away from his lover as Shining quite clearly was sent to heaven. The tight, clutching grip of the mare's vagina sent the alicorn off too and with a hard, deep thrust, he shoved all the way into his adoring mate and flooded her body with potent seed.

The orgasm flared bright again for Shining, her body sent into a second on the heels of the first. She reached up with a hoof, around Cadance's withers, pulling her lover down for a kiss. The keening sound silenced as their lips met and both suddenly realized it had been Shining.

Closing her eyes, Shining was still feeling sparks of pleasure every time a muscle twitched. If this was how a mare came, she could certainly get used to it.

"Wow…" Twilight was blushing hard. She was curled up in bed, Gel on one side and Applejack on the other. Their rooms were right beside Shining and Cadance's rooms.

"Your sister has a lot of stamina." Gel couldn't stop a giggle from spilling free. He spotted both Twi and AJ blushing more and reached a hoof out. "Oh don't take it like that. They are a married couple, enjoying themselves in private."

"This is hardly private." Applejack gestured in the vague direction that Shining's wails of pleasure came from. "But ah guess you're right."

Twilight took a deep breath, this was about as good a moment as she was likely to get to talk to Gel and Applejack together, in private. On the bright side everypony nearby would be so distracted by her sister that they wouldn't notice. "Gel, Applejack, we need to talk."

Applejack was suddenly worried, her brain going through all the bad ways such 'the conversation' could go.

"About?" Gel rubbed a little lower with his hoof he had on Twilight's shoulder, getting in and around her wing joint. He knew full well the spot was sensitive.

"Things are quiet for the moment… Shining not withstanding." Twilight couldn't stop a silly grin from growing on her snout, she smiled more when she thought how she would have reacted to this before she met Gel and experienced… so much. "I am a mare now, a princess too, and I like to think I have worked out what I want from my life." She took a deep breath. "Gel Pattern, will you marry me?"

Gel froze, his liquid heart seeming to flutter. His world tilted and he closed down his sight. He let his odd body continue with its processes for a few seconds and opened his awareness back up and looked into his lavender lover. "If you will have me, of course I will."

Twilight couldn't stop the delight boiling through her, she wrapped Gel in her forelegs and both wings and hugged him as tight as she could. The feel of the bed moving was a give away that AJ was moving. Turning her head, Twilight saw the earth pony climbing out of the covers. "Applejack?"

"Y'all got yourselves now, you don't need a silly… hay!" Applejack had closed her eyes to explain why her shattered heart should mean nothing when she was lifted in purple magic. "Put me down Twi I-"

Lips, Twilight pressed her own to Applejack's, glad that she could stare into the wide eyes of the friend.

"I think what my fiancee is trying to say is, just because we are going another step does not mean we don't want you around." Gel watched as his beloved kissed the mare he was getting to know better and better by the day.

Applejack felt trapped, she loved kissing Twilight, expressing the love she felt for the princess, but it hurt to love somepony she now couldn't have.

Twilight broke the kiss first, pulling back and setting AJ back on the bed. "No running away." The admonishment caught the orange pony just as she was about to get up. "Let me finish. I have spent a lot of intimate time with Gel, which is why moving to the next step seems so right. Applejack, will you take his place as my special somepony?"

Her own advice came back to Applejack then, of reassuring her friend that herding was perfectly acceptable. Had she herself not believed it? "Ah'm just a big ol' hypocrite." Applejack looked down at the blanket. "It felt so right ah kept telling myself that it was just for fun, that it wouldn't last forever." There was a pony at her side and Applejack looked up to see Gel there, rubbing her shoulders with a hoof.

"No, what we had wouldn't last forever, it would grow." Gel nuzzled Applejack's cheek. "I don't know how you feel about me, the mare most known for her honesty doesn't seem like a good fit for a changeling…"

"Gel, I have never known you to bend a hair of the truth unless a pony's life depended on it." Applejack returned with a nuzzle before she looked up to Twilight. "Ahm going to have to refuse your offer, Twilight, unless your stallion will make it with you."

Twilight frowned at first but then giggled as she heard the mare qualify the deal. "That is up to my stallion." The words felt so good to say. Her stallion.

Gel looked into Applejack's eyes. "You are a very special somepony already, Applejack. I don't know how I could possibly live up to the high standards I feel I must, to be your equal, but if you will have me, would you be my special somepony too?"

Applejack didn't reply with words. She was head-over-hooves in love with Twilight, but they were a package and she had spent what moments she could spare from her farm getting to know this odd stallion. Moments she certainly didn't regret. Leaning in, she kissed Gel, her reply joined and confirmed by his returning kiss.

Twilight was unsure why it was so hot watching the pair kiss, but she couldn't be apart from this moment a second longer and moved, coming in from the side and sneaking her snout in to join the intimacy.

"We haven't done this for a while." Cherry looked from her lover to the pod. "Are you sure you-"

Sleek silenced her winged mate with a kiss, pressing her tongue between her lips and fighting for entry to Cherry's mouth. It wasn't a hard fight, the pegasus opened her lips and jaw readily for her lover.

The second changeling in the room loved his job, really, really loved it. How could Sneaking not love it, he got to look after eight pods, most days only one or two ponies took advantage of Cherry's business for this particular use, but still, the food-to-changeling ratio was much to the drone's liking.

When Sleek had finally inspected her lover's mouth to her satisfaction, she drew back. "Nothing would please me more than to spend a night unwinding with you."

Of course, Sneaking was getting an even greater meal right now. His feeding wasn't subtle, he didn't hide it and didn't need to. "How hot do you want the pod?" He intruded on their conversation as little as he could, each time one of the two mares talked to the other their love flared more. He almost burped.

"Tight, clingy." Cherry smiled at the drone and saw him tremble a little. The sense of his feeding was obvious to a pony who was used to such, and she knew that directing affection his way would make it all the better for him. Screw being embarrassed, the mare thought, it certainly wasn't hurting anypony.

"And very in control." Sleek added, rubbing against the side of her mate as they advanced on the pod.

Sneaking nodded, feeling more than a little love-drunk. He directed his control to the pod, opening it up for the mares. His special talent, the thing he was so very good at, was controlling pods. Even before Cherry lifted a hoof to step in, tentacles darted out of the pod, one wrapping around her neck and others latching on to her forelegs and wings.

"Thank-" Sleek tried to offer her thanks to Sneaking but a tentacle shoved suddenly into her mouth and seemed to inflate behind her teeth. She felt it pulling, tugging. It was very easy to imagine the terror of a pony, realizing they couldn't get away and feeling the pod pulling them forward. She saw as Cherry was dragged in and even tasted the mare's pleasure flare bright at being restrained so fully and quickly.

"You are most welcome." Sneaking bowed, commanding the pod to be even more forceful and watching as the changeling mare was dragged forward, head-first into the pod. The top was lowering already, the pod quite possessive of its cargo.

Sleek fought the tentacles as they wrapped around her, tightening and pulling her down inside. She squirmed and struggled until she got exactly where she wanted to be. She gazed into her mate's eyes, their bellies pressing together in the goop, as the pod wrapped them and bound them tighter. A pair of tentacles pressed into and claimed her rear and slit, while the one in her mouth squirmed a little and worked deeper. She felt more wrap her, she felt the tiny jolts of magic as the pod began to guide her dreams, linking them with the other mare it held and binding them tighter than physical bonds ever could.

Cherry let her dreams be controlled, guided. She could feel nothing but pleasure and happiness for her wife, she knew they were both bound and held in a pod, but in their shared dreams, each mare lifted a hoof, turned to kiss, as tentacles pulled them into each other. It was the mares' favorite dream.

"Ugh, they are doing that music thing again." Apple Bloom lifted her hooves up to her ears, not that it would help when the song was in her head.

"Make your own song." Sweetie Belle reached over to her friend, lifting her hoof up to rub at the orange filly's ears. She raised her 'voice' and reached out.

Apple Bloom's eyes went wide as she felt her friend's music. "That's… beautiful…" It started to drown out the other song and she found herself singing it too, then her lips started to form sounds, her throat working to make the softest accompaniment she could, lest she ruin it.

"See? No naughty songs." Sweetie kept up her tune, strengthening it in her friend until she was sure they were singing it strongly enough themselves.

"Me too, please?" Scootaloo lifted a hoof from the shared bed. Sweetie had to reach across Apple Bloom's body to touch her other friend and fellow crusader. "Oh…" Scootaloo felt the song now, it was flowing quickly to her from both Sweetie and Apple Bloom.

"Cutie Mark Crusaders, songwriters!" Sweetie Belle felt the music echoing back to her from her friends as she snuggled in under the covers. Nothing bad could happen when she had her friends close and music in her heart and head.

Author's Note

Whew, that got really hot and bothering, but I think I like how Sweetie dealt with hearing age-inappropriate music.

Pinkie is still upset, there are so many cream pies and she isn't getting any of them!
