Ch15 - 2 - Truths

"So where do I stand?" Velvet sipped the tea and felt both nervous and relaxed, in a terrible and wonderful dichotomy. She felt like she had the home that her hive had never been. "I just… I want to be something for you both that-" Her plea was never able to finish, she had two ponies beside her, each hugging from a different side.

"We will take it a day at a time, but I think I can speak for Night when I say, we are very fond of you, Velvet." Twilight could see tears in the changeling's eyes.

"She does, speak for me that is. We love each other, never believe that isn't true, but having you there is… catalytic. No, that is a bad word. Our love is more for having you, but I think you are affected by us, too." Night kissed a tear from Velvet's cheek. The words only made more tears fall. "Drink from me, taste how I feel."

"Me too." Twilight was not to be left out. She squirmed a little, the plug inside her shifting a little and making the posture she was keeping a little hard to maintain.

Velvet slowly reached out, her eyes closed. She could feel two 'meals' close at hoof, and she reached into each. She tasted potent stallion, strong, secure and loving. She would have fallen from the chair if not for the two ponies hugging her. A good portion of the love was aimed squarely at her. She opened her eyes and looked into Night's. Not a word passed between them, they just stared at each other.

"Me too! Do me!" Twilight's exclamation broke the tableau and she had the changeling turn her gaze to her.

"Twilight Velvet, I will do you, but after I have tasted you." Velvet smiled, heat rising inside her such that she was unsure, at first, if the love wafting to her was coming from her or the unicorn. Their eyes met, then, and all pretense was lost. She tasted the amazing love coming from the mare. For Night, but also herself. "You… you really…" Velvet had both ponies kiss her and she closed her eyes. She feasted, she went further than she should and was a little drunk on the meal.

"Are you okay?" Night waved a hoof before a giggling changeling's face. "Maybe drinking from us is a little much?"

For some reason Velvet really wanted to catch the hoof waving before her, she reached out with her own to try to grab it.

Twilight shifted again. "Ugh, Velvet!" The mare bopped the changeling on the nose. "Get it out, please, I… it feels uncomfortable!"

Velvet turned to the mare she could tell was at least partly in love with her, and grinned. "No, but I will screw that nice tight rear of yours."

Night watched his wife's shock turn to acquiescence, Twilight turning and offering herself to the drone. It was more than enough to have him hard and as soon as Velvet was on Twilight, he climbed up atop Velvet. "Fair is fair. You claimed her slit. If you start taking the other holes too, I need some compensation." Night bucked, driving his slick length into the changeling's vulva, shoving deep down into her.

Twilight turned her head to watch, feeling Velvet's length just pressing at her rear, she realized that the drone was crying happy tears again. Before she was taken by the dark predator's shaft, Twilight pushed back, impaling herself on the changeling that had found a place in her heart.

Neither of them had to do what they just had. Velvet was pressed between a mare and her stallion, buggering one and being well screwed by the other. She tried to make motions, to stroke in and out of Twilight, to squeeze at Night, but with her lust raising, her body overstimulated, she was a slave to their bodies. And she didn't care one bit.

"So you have failed me again?" The Maneiac looked dubiously at the stallion. "What didn't you do?"

"Ma'am!" The stallion, Fillalee, nodded his head. "I didn't bring you your tea in time!" He tried to hide his smile, but he was trembling in anticipation and was more than a little visibly excited.

"Really?" Relaxing back on her chair, the Maneiac narrowed her eyes. "So you are to be punished?" A little laughter boiled up in her, she liked punishing, after all, but a few of her new crew seemed to see it more as a reward than a punishment. "This is the third day in a row you have messed up."

"I am clumsy, Ma'am!" Fillalee ached to be in her grip again, his whole body ached for it. The 'training' had taken about as well as it did for the rest, but the ponies of Equestria were a little different from the ones in the comic.

"Oh I give up, this isn't working. You just want to play with my hair, don't you?" The Maneiac looked right into the stallion's eyes, getting a trembling nod from him. "It isn't really working at all, is it?"

The stallion slumped in place. "I really wish it would. I tried to just go along with it, but… it doesn't really stick." Fillalee looked lost. "Sorry, Mane, but you are still a lot of fun!" He perked right back up again.

"Silken Breeze!" Maneiac screeched and there was a blur as the light blue earth pony raced up to her, saluting stiffly but, now that Mane was really looking for it, the vacant stare she gave was a sham. "You too? What is wrong with my technique? I felt for sure it would hypnotize you…"

Knowing the game was up, Silken rushed up to the pony with the most amazing hair she had ever seen. "It worked, for about an hour. Maybe you could try again? Maybe repeated conditioning will stick?" She sounded far too excited for such repeats, but she couldn't help it.

"So what do I do? How do I command an army of brainwashed ponies to fight this… Twilight Sparkle?" Mane lifted a hoof to one of her wilting tentacles, even her splendid mane was a little down.

"Who says we need to be brainwashed? I would fight for you!" Silk leaned in and hugged Mane.

"Or you could just get one of the dozens of things that actually let you hypnotize ponies." Fillalee cut in, lifting a hoof to his jaw in thought. "Like this!" The stallion pulled out a pocket watch and started it swinging.

Mane looked at it a moment before her eyes seemed drawn to watch it swing back and forth, her mind slowing.

"You are the amazing Maneiac. You love it when your tentacles get into ponies, play with them and you just can't stop playing with your henchponies in particular." Fillalee smiled brightly, watching his dark mistress follow the watch with her eyes, her mouth softly echoing his words. She shook her head suddenly and glared at him. One tentacle lashed out and took the watch.

But another tentacle darted in and under the stallion, coiling around his hard shaft. Mane's madness retreated a touch as she stroked it. "What do you think you are doing? You can't hypnotize me!" She plugged another tentacle into the stallion's rear. "You have been naughty and deserve punishment. But first, let's get you suitably conditioned."

Fillalee was rocking forward and back, the thick shape shoving in and out of his rear only making the constant milking of his shaft feel all the better. Then he saw the watch swinging before his eyes and his pupils contracted, following the watch after a few strokes.

"You are part of my gang." Maneiac glared into the eyes of the stallion, watching them droop as he quietly repeated the words. "You will present yourself whenever I wish a stallion to play with. You will follow my commands without hesitation." She squirmed a little in excitement.

Beside her, eyes wide at what her 'mistress' was doing, Silken was getting horny just thinking about it. "Me next please?" A tentacle seemed to notice there was a mare right 'there' and quickly moved, stuffing into her mouth and pushing deeper.

"In good time, pet, in good time." Maneiac's first plan hadn't quite worked, but this would be superb!

"What's wrong sugarcube?" Mirror Applejack looked at the mare across the breakfast table from her. "Somethin' got you down?"

"Well, everypony seems to have settled down with somepony else, or someponies else," Starlight colored a little at the thought, "I just haven't really felt much more than a passing connection. Starry and Twinkle were fun, but I just don't get that spark."

"No offense or nothin' but have you tried looking outside the castle? I may not be on top of the goings on around these parts as some of my friends have become," it was Applejack's turn to color a little, "but there are plenty more mares out there… or stallions! Sorry if'n I caused some offense."

"Since the little worms I… I don't think I can look a lot of them in the face. I mean, 'that' way. There were a lot of stallions trying to beat the doors down here and… is it wrong a part of me wanted to just let them in so I could relax?"

"Ah heard some of what happened in that 'n what I understand of it, you wouldn't have relaxed much." Applejack slicked up a pancake and gobbled half of it down. "So you givin' up? Become an old spinster and sit on a rocking chair giving bad advice?"

"No!" Starlight blushed and then lower her head. "I just… I guess it is silly, but I hate to think of what ponies think of me, based off what I did. I see I did wrong now, I want to work past it." Starlight chased the last mouthful of her pancake around with a fork held in her magic.

"What happened?" Mirror Applejack looked up. "I want your side o' it, nopony else's."

Starlight lifted her head up and stared at Applejack; it suddenly dawned on her that this mare was from another world, she had never heard about what she had done. "It all started when I was a filly…"

The remnants of their breakfasts were gone by the time Starlight was done, but she stared down at her plate in worry. She hadn't left a single thing out, she had told everything, exactly as it had happened.

"That thar the whole truth o' it?" Mirror Applejack looked across the table, watching the mare nod sadly to herself. "Well, what'd you do about it, afterward?"

"Twilight helped me find everypony I hurt by it, every single one. I apologized, some accepted, some didn't. I can't really blame them for not. I was a bad person." Starlight tried to dip her vision again but an orange hoof was under her chin, holding her face up and keeping her eye contact with Applejack's clone. "Wha-" She didn't get a single word out before the kiss landed.

Applejack wasn't sure why, she only knew that the mare before her had bared everything, with complete honesty. She had a knack for picking when a pony was hiding something and despite the events' likeliness to jade any potential relationship, Starlight had still told her. She kissed the pony because Starlight needed it. She kissed her because she wanted to remove the look of self-loathing. Ultimately, though, Mirror Applejack kissed Starlight because she wanted to.

She didn't fight the kiss more than the time it took her heart to beat once. Starlight knew tenderness, but this was a little more. She leaned forward, pressing herself more firmly to Applejack's touch. She didn't hesitate, she picked up the other mare and brought her to the same side of the table as her, all without breaking the kiss.

Her first reaction to flee at the odd touch of magic was pushed down, but AJ did break the kiss. "Whoa, that's a neat trick…" She looked down at her seat, then back up in time to get another kiss, this time as the kissee. She relaxed, it was a nice one and the other mare, rather than use magic, just circled her with her forelegs, giving her a moment to consider it like using arms to hug.

Hoofsteps sounded and a giggle. "Woops, wrong breakfast room, or do you two want company?" Princess Twilight Sparkle was standing in the doorway. She saw the pair suddenly pull apart and both blushed. "Some ponies are calling me the Princess of Nookie, it seems everypony around me, lately, has been finding somepony else. If that is the price I pay for happy friends, I will wear the title with pride."

The native Applejack trotted in next, proving that ponies were likely going to be coming in greater numbers, shortly. "Well, there yer are. I meant to see how you were settlin' in."

Starlight and Mirror Applejack stayed close, the latter looking up at her clone with a slight blush. One of her hooves under the table was brushing against Starlight's. "Ah'm doin' okay… better today, in fact." She turned a little smile to the unicorn beside her. "Where's Dash and Rares?"

"Don't look at me, I didn't touch them!" Gel strode in, looking very happy with himself despite his protests. "What? Really! AJ, Twi, I was with you two all night!"

"In the past, that ain't meant nothin'." Applejack grinned and kissed her husband on the cheek to show she was just yanking his chain. "For that matter, where is Starry and Twinkle?"

This got silence from everypony, but each wore a happy grin.
