Sunny woke, to find the room still in darkness. It wasn't the nice, relaxing, slow waking up. Her head shot up from the comfortable position she was curled up in. "The buck…" Looking around, terror rose in her throat as she saw shadows of monsters in every corner. Then the smell hit her.

"Tomato… egg… bell peppers?" Confusion seemed also on the menu for the mare as she climbed from bed, feeling a little wobbly. The sound of her front door opening and closing drew all her focus and she worried whatever that thing that had attacked her was back. "Please don't be back…"

She had to move, however, and it took all her bravery to open her bedroom door and look out into her living room. The smell of food increased and she saw a letter, neatly folded, sitting on the little coffee table, weighed down with a few bits. Trotting over, she picked up the letter.

Breakfast is on me, since dinner was on you. Please do not hold a grudge, I didn't intend for you to be afraid. M

Sunny followed her nose to her little kitchen, only to find a full three-course breakfast laid out. Her mouth was immediately watering and she fell upon the food, devouring it.

Rarity approached the spa, the cowl of the huge cloak hanging over her head. Slinking in the front door she saw the usual mare at the front desk. "Daisy, hello darling." She approached the waiting area.

"Same as always?" Daisy blinked at the odd attire of the mare. "You feeling okay, Miss Rarity? You haven't been for-"

"A few dayz." Aloe stepped out, smiling. "Welcome, Miz Rrarity, we arre zo glad have you back." She walked up to the disguised diamond dog. "Come, you muzt tell Aloe everrything." The earth pony gave Daisy a wink and led Rarity into the spa. "Firrzt, steaming."

"Oh! Uh… let's… let's not put me in the steam room. Would hate to fill the spa with… ahem," Rarity lowered her voice, "wet dog."

"A bath zen, would be fine?" Aloe smiled and leaned in close. "Miztrress Rrarity."

Pleasure stirred through the canine, a delightful pleasure that had nothing at all to do with what species she was, or what she looked or smelled like. Rarity was plenty dominant enough to love hearing her name said like that. "A bath would be delightful. Do you have-"

"A prrivate rroom, of course." Aloe led the way and things seemed perfectly normal as Rarity was led into one of the private rooms with what looked like a smaller version of the big spa pool. She was too eager, dropping her cloak as she neared the bath. "Prrivacy, firzt." Aloe moved fast to close the door.

"You are such a good filly, Aloe." Rarity climbed into the water and slunk down, sliding to her back and spreading out. "Oh my I have missed this." A soft splash heralded Aloe's entrance as well, the mare bearing a brush that already was lathered up with what Rarity could smell as being her favorite shampoo.

Words weren't needed, not as Rarity relaxed while Aloe washed her. There was nothing better, the former unicorn decided, than relaxing in a pool while a mare who called you mistress washed you. "Well, maybe something better." Rarity turned her head. Aloe was scrubbing her tail, which gave the diamond dog a perfect view of the mare's rear. "Lift your tail, darling." No sooner said than done. Aloe blushed and smiled brightly as she kept up her task. The first time that long tongue slipped up her vulva, from her button all the way to her taint, Aloe groaned and was a little slower at her task.

Rarity was intrigued, maybe this wasn't all bad; like her magic and her new paws, it seemed that some things were not so terrible as a canine. She licked again, this time tasting arousal and it tasted good. Her senses were soon awash with Aloe's musk, she lapped and lapped, licking the other mare until she not only dropped the brush but started quivering in ecstasy. "Aloe, dear pet, did you just have an accident in my water?"

"Z-Z-Zorrrry…" Aloe's world was still adjusting to what way was up again. Tongue baths, it seemed, were damn near superior to everything she had experienced before. "I will azzist you, if Mizztress wishes?"

"Oh no, darling. Keep washing, just make sure that tail is up, I might want another snack." Rarity tilted her head back, it was true she had just serviced her pet without getting off herself, but the dominance of forcing the mare to lose herself in the water was too wonderful to even feel bad over.

It was hard for Aloe, every time she worked on Rarity's rear half he mistress would return to licking her and she would lose all track of what she was doing. Finally, after an uncountable number of orgasms, the mare was panting. "You are clean, Mizztrress."

"Am I, darling? Look at you, though, you are a mess!" Rarity stood up, a little shocked still at how heavy she was when wet. "I simply will not have my pets looking so poorly." The canine sat up and took the brush. "Relax, Aloe, I am taking care of you."

The words would have relaxed a month of tension from Aloe, the actual washing her mistress gave her a full year. She just smiled and closed her eyes as the brush, freshly lathered up, started working through her fur.

"We had our fun." Muffins looked to Rainbow and Lyra. "I can't say it wasn't fun with my own unicorn to play with for a week, but we have another game. This one is probably going to be even harder."

"You see," Sweetie's smile was wide as she started explaining, "we asked for outside help on this one and I think somepony you both recognize, has helped create the best, and hardest, dungeon ever." The door opened beside them at the obvious cue and the startled gasps from Dash and Lyra told their two lovers that they had done the right thing.

"A K Yearling?" Both Rainbow and Lyra's were wide open as they chorused together.

"Couldn't leave my biggest fan with nothing to do and when your wife told me-" Daring Do halted and squinted at Muffins. "You two aren't married yet?"

The monotone-maned mare was suddenly tackled by a storm-touched pegasus. "Oh my gosh, how have you been? I mean, I know how you have been, fighting off that crazy demon and getting back the crimson jewel of Tartarus, but how have YOU been?" Rainbow Dash couldn't stop herself and Daring didn't have the heart to push her friend away.

"Well, I have been working on my next book, but when I got an invitation from an alicorn I had never heard of before I couldn't resist coming to help her make your day. And dropping off this." Daring passed over a book.

Rainbow Dash's squee was likely heard by the ponies in the Crystal Empire. "Oh my gosh! Wait a sec, what do you have to do with…" She gestured to the naughty dungeon ahead.

"Simple, I have raised the stakes. All the things you had in here, feed and then release. Trust me, there are much stranger things out there, and now some of them are in here. You won't be hurt, but we will have to pull you out if something gets a hold on you." Daring Do gestured forward with a hoof. "Winner gets an autographed copy of the book, loser… well, I think your mares have plans for the loser. Just remember, you can both lose."

Lyra shook her head, coming out of a daze. She loved Daring Do adventures, to meet the author and see that she was obviously the basis for the character, blew her mind. "But… you are into this?"

Daring Do raised an eyebrow. "Well, maybe not at first. But you spend a week getting screwed silly by an overly friendly plant, until you can't walk, and stuffed with its seeds so you can't fly, and pumped with aphrodisiac so all you can think about for the next year is going back and letting it have you again, and again and… okay, it is an acquired taste, but it is my taste."

"There is a plant that does that?" Lyra blinked as a blur of rainbow streaked past her. "Rainbow Dash, don't you dare pull this again!" She gave chase, part of her still thinking about what the adventurer had said.

"Teach her to keep talking, I have so got this." The pegasus froze at the first door, hovering just before it and leaning her ear to the wood. The sound of breathing could be heard on the other side. "Nope, next." Rainbow flew past the door and started checking the second. It was a whole new game if there were things in there that were a 'definite lose', she couldn't just go as fast as she could and have a good time.

A glow of light was coming up the hall behind her and Dash didn't want to know where all the ground-based traps were, so quickly flew forward further. Shedding light from the sparks on her wings, Rainbow guided herself to the next door. Silence, perfect silence. "This is almost as worrying as breathing." She reached a hoof for the handle and slowly turned in, looking inside.

The smell of something so sugary sweet it was intoxicating met her nose. She tried to think quickly as she closed the door but the problem was she really wanted to smell that stuff again. "Keep it together, it is a sugar vine. Just put up with it, like Daring Do did in Daring Do and the Salty Cave Secret."

"Rainbow Dash?" Lyra looked at the pegasus. "Oh no, you won't trick me into going forward, is that the way through?" She pointed at the door and took two more steps forward. A click under the unicorn's hoof was the last Dash saw of her as Lyra fell down a pit trap with a cry of surprise.

The sweet smell returned and Rainbow's eyes half closed in delight. She hovered there, smelling how wonderful it was, her mind distracted so she couldn't see the vine that had crawled under the door, a pretty little white flower dusting pollen into the air. Rainbow's wings felt heavier and heavier until she landed on the floor, dropping to her hooves. With her wings drooping down at her sides, Dash leaned down to the little flower, inhaling deeply. "So nice…" The words drawled, her speech sounding like it came from a drunk pony.

Forgetting to close her mouth, Rainbow Dash drooled as she stood there, happily inhaling the narcotic scent of the plant. She closed her eyes at last and felt as tendrils of vine reached up and wrapped around her head. Anchored to the plant, Dash seemed to not care in the least, even as a thick vine pushed into her mouth, working down into her belly.

A snap was heard as the vine broke off from the host plant. Rainbow Dash looked up at the door, her eyes barely open. Open. It seemed like the right thing. Stumbling forward, her invaded snout pulled into a happy smile, Rainbow Dash opened the door and walked inside.

"Well, that is one down. With the sugar vine attached to her like that, she won't be thinking for herself until somepony breaks her free." Daring watching the pegasus on the scrying pool, wandering around aimlessly, nibbling at the leaves of the vines that spread everywhere in the room.

Lyra was sliding down, deeper and deeper. Along the way oddly placed pieces of heavy armor seemed to attach themselves to her hooves, legs, body and finally she saw a helmet ahead and couldn't adjust her descent from pushing her head into it. As the last piece of the suit was on a loud click sounded from each part and, a fraction later, she landed on her hooves in what was the basement.

"Dash?" Lyra called out, but even with the echo inside the heavy armor she could hear nothing but her own voice. She lifted heavy hooves, the metal covering clanking with each step. "This is totally not fair, Dash was never going to walk into this…" She had gotten barely across the room and she was already tired. Reaching out with her horn, for the door, Lyra got her next surprise. "A bucking horn-blocker?" Her magic fizzled with each attempt to cast.

Lifting a hoof, she tried the door and it swung open easily, revealing another door down a short hallway, kinda. It was hard to see properly through the helmet, but something seemed to make it even harder. Taking a step forward Lyra felt resistance. "Cobwebs? You think some spiders will scare me?" She strode forward, more and more of the webbing pulling over her. Halfway down the hall she couldn't move forward as the accumulated webbing was just too much.

"Backwards then, and take a run." Lyra tried to clomp backwards in the heavy armor but, just like her way forward, she was blocked by the now-thick webbing. "Great, so what makes webs? Spiders? Some kind of sexy spider?"

The first squirming, wriggling, was felt as something a few inches long and almost as thin as a pencil, made it into her armor. "What was that?" Lyra tried to turn and saw what it was that had gotten inside, actually, she saw dozens of them. Thick, slimy-looking worms were spinning the silk webs, but they were spinning them and lashing her in place, binding her tighter and tighter until she was completely immobile.

"I encountered these little things back when I was working on my second book. Couldn't put them in, of course, but trust me, they get in." Daring had a grin on her snout. "I would say to watch her squirm, but with how tight they spin that stuff, she won't be able to."

Lyra tried to move, tried to deny the worms that were crawling into the armor. They worked around her body, sticking to her fur as they needed to, until they located her plot. When the first squirmed at her back lips, Lyra bit back a cry, when they started to burrow and work into her, she cried out in shock. Worm after worm worked into her, others still working to keep her immobile, but it was the constant wriggling sensation inside that drove her insensible. Not only had she lost, but soon she was climaxing hard.

Bucking and grinding within the armor, Lyra felt her insides tugged at, worked with strings of fine silk. The real horror came to her as the worms played with her, driving her to another quick orgasm, then another, and another.

She tried to cry out, to moan and whimper, but others had woven around her snout, silencing their prey.
