"Hay Gel, is Twilight in?" Spike caught the changeling as he was about to try his next trick.

"Oh, uh, I think she is really busy, what's up Spike?" He put the cage down and put the cover back over the parasprite within.

"I just wanted to know if she would be here for dinner. I was going to cook her favorite!" The little dragon looked adorable and Gel wondered if he could actually get the mare in a sensible way for dinner.

"Uh, she was working on meditation, but sure, I think I can get her to come out of her trance. She might seem a little… distracted…" Gel was fishing for reasons why she would still be mind controlled by the parasprite.

Spike put his claws on his hips. "You have her hypnowhatsit again, don't you?" Gel gulped and nodded. "She will remember eating the food, right?" Gel nodded again. "Then it's all fine." He seemed content with this and the changeling sighed. "She really likes that, doesn't she?"

"She does. What do you think about it?" Gel was actually interested in what Spike thought of his monopolizing Twilight so much.

"Eh, it is something she likes and… Twilight really needed to have somepony special who would make sure she got to have fun and things she liked." Spike just shrugged. "Not my thing though."

"Still got it for Rarity?" Gel felt this was a very 'stallion' style talk and that asking this would be fine.

Spike looked up with a chagrined expression. "Sorta, she is quite a mare but…" He looked to squirm a bit. "I'm a 'wing dragon'." He flushed hotly and looked down. "Every time I look at a mare I find myself trying to imagine her with wings… I think… it just seems like something for me."

Gel smiled. "I love their eyes." He gave a sigh and brought up the memories of the mares he loved. "When I can gaze into their eyes, just seeing them looking back, focusing on me and…"

The dragon gave a bark of a laugh.

"Hay, don't knock it, wing boy." Gel's tone was joking and he saw how sharing his own passion had buoyed up the dragon's confidence. "Everypony has a thing. I am a sucker for a beautiful pair of peepers, you like wings. I bet there are even ponies who get off on horns."

Spike laughed at this then stopped suddenly when another gooplicate came in. "Uh, Gel…"

"This is me too Spike, a bit to explain but… okay, I will explain, you deserve it. So you know things in the Crystal Empire got a little, crazy?" The dragon nodded to him. "Well, Sombra tried to put these mind-control masks on everypony. I had only a moment but I rushed for the closest. Rarity and Muffins."

Spike raised an eyebrow. "This is why you asked about her?"

Gel nodded, his motive discovered. "Hay, I like you, you are the coolest dragon I know."

"How many do you know?"

"One… but that is besides the point, you are also special to Twilight, and that makes you important to me too. But anyway, I had to flow over them both and there they were, nose to tail. Then somepony crashed into us and I ripped. It really… well it didn't hurt me, but it hurt my head. It gets easier with practice." Gel shrugged, that is, both of him did.

"So who are you covering still?" Spike cut to the chase, his question making Gel reach out to his other selves. He had been fairly passive in their day, letting the mares live their own lives. "Rarity is making a dress for somepony. Muffins is…" Gel blushed. "Okay, Muffins is cradling Rainbow Dash… on the train… they are headed to the Crystal Empire?"

The dragon had produced a small bucket of popcorn from somewhere. "What about Twilight?"

Gel blushed. "I… she and… well, me, we are busy… in her room…"

"Ugh, again? Wait, you can tell exactly what Rarity and Muffins are doing, but not Twilight?" Spike tossed another talon of popcorn into his mouth, clearly enjoying watching Gel squirm in punishment for his sneaky conversation starter.

"Okay, I will level with you. It was an experiment gone… right. Using those parasprites that shut your brain down. I got one on one of my gooplicates-"

"Gooplicate? Really? That is the best name you could come up with? Gunklett? Blobimites?" Spike saw Gel staring at him with a droll look. "Okay okay, gooplicates…"

"Right, so one of my gooplicates got a parasprite on it and it just sort of… disconnected from me, turned into a normal changeling. We missed out on getting the photos Twilight wanted so I put one on her too and then made up a nice little fantasy to tell them… if you see them, Twilight's name is Fun Time… and my gooplicate is-"

Spike cut in again. "But you said it turned into a normal changeling? So wouldn't it be a non-gooplicate?"

"Spike…" Gel groaned. The dragon only grinned and munched more popcorn. "So if you see a changeling that looks a little lost, his name is Blank Flank."

"You called your non-gunklett 'Blank Flank'?" Spike laughed, popcorn going everywhere.

Gel threw himself onto a couch. He thought he would have to break the news to the dragon gently. The changeling made a vow, never to be nice to his draconic friend again.

Muffins looked out the window, watching the world zoom by.

"Are you sure she will be okay with this?" Rainbow Dash, it seemed, needed a lot of reassurance on this fact.

"No, Dash, no I don't. But there is only one way to be sure and that is ask her. The worst thing that can happen is she says no. The best thing is you get a friend you can visit or who can visit you and you have a lot of fun, so please, lets give that question a rest." Muffins lost it, she blasted her friend with the words and then immediately felt bad about it. "Look, I know what it is like, to want something like that. I had help in asking for it, and that is why I am here with you."

Rainbow Dash wasn't sure about this 'new' Muffins she was getting to know, the mare seemed at the same time very clever and a little pushy. "Okay, okay. Jeez, no need to paint me a picture, I get it."

"Well, if all goes well you will." Muffins waggled her eyebrows and got the hint of a smile from Dash. She boosted the effect by tilting her eyes out to the sides and rotating them around in their sockets.

"And now you are the Muffins I know." Rainbow Dash reached over and grabbed the alicorn under one foreleg, using the other to rub her mane until it stuck out in all directions.

The ride was more relaxed after that, although Rainbow never did loose all her nerves and it got even worse when they reached the Crystal Empire.

Getting off the train, the pair started walking toward the castle. "So what makes you think we can get an audience alone?" Dash looked to her friend, who was still wearing her mailmare uniform.

"Silly, I deliver the mail. I have a special package here from Princess Twilight Sparkle that I must give to her in private and you came along to guard me!" Muffins tilted her head at the aqua mare.

"That actually works?" Rainbow Dash looked at Muffins, then back to the castle ahead.

The blonde-maned alicorn nodded. "You would be surprised!"

It was no time before they were in the castle and waiting to see the princess. "So what are you the princess of?" Dash looked around the room they were alone in, the place looked so… so cozy. There were pillows everywhere and some fruit snacks on a table.

"Muffins? Mail? Problems? You name it. I will leave the princessing to others, I just solve pony problems." Muffins gave a silly grin to her friend, getting a chuckle from the pegasus.

"What could be so urgent to rush a courier from Ponyville all the-" Cadance was walking in but stopped dead when she saw Rainbow Dash, she even blushed.

"Ma'am!" Muffins was on her hooves and saluting, with the wrong leg. "I have to report package RD express delivered from Ponyville. Ma'am!"

"RD huh? Rainbow Dash, do you have any reason why you needed to mail yourself all the way here, at obvious cost." The door was closed by pink magic as Cadance found a spot to lie down opposite the pair. Something teased at her senses and she reached out, a banishment spell playing quickly on her magic. It wasn't what she had expected. She didn't know WHAT she had expected, but a mailmare alicorn was not it.

Muffins' eyes turned up and noticed her horn on display. She leaned over to Rainbow. "The gig is up, make a run for it. I'll grab the cutlery, you grab the dame."

Rainbow Dash tried to keep a straight face, Cadance too, but neither could hold back the giggles that soon consumed them.

"Honestly? Playing with a magic gizmo, should normally make me into a unicorn, but Gel put it on and off me so often it seemed to mess up and… we aren't even sure if I will change back at this rate. I don't think it is too terrible, except everypony keeps seeing through the disguise." Muffins gave a two-legged shrug.

"Okay, but that isn't why you are here. Rainbow Dash, explain please." Cadance turned to Dash and gave her a look that had the pegasus blushing. She looked up at the perfect features of the princess of love, the magic that had hit her when the princess was 'evil' was still there but… Dash knew it was there because she wanted it to stay.

"IloveyoucadanceandIcan'tstopthinkingabout… you…"

Cadance's eyes opened fully, then she batted her eyelashes in surprise. "Uh, what… I don't…"

Rainbow Dash lowered herself, dropping her head down to the ground at Cadance's hooves. "Please, I just want to be near you, I want you to tell me to do things. I just… I love you."

The alicorn of love tilted her head and focused herself, her gift. She followed the burning love, the aching need, that was in Rainbow Dash and sure enough, it flowed back to her. Her own magic was mixed with the love, it might not be all of it, but it was certainly a big part of the feelings. "I can fix this, for you. I can get rid of-"

"I don't want that! I want to be your servant, I want to be told to clean your hooves. I need it…" Tears flowed down Dash's snout, soaking a pillow. "It wasn't just that spell, I… you always were so perfect. I just want to be near…"

Cadance tried to get to the bottom of all this. A single clop on the door announced a stallion, her stallion. "Cadie I… what is going on here?" Shining Armor came into the room and looked at what was playing out. "What is the meaning of this? I thought you stopped this?"

Muffins was first to move, Cadance would have hurt Rainbow Dash if she had shifted to stand up. "Shining Armor, it isn't that. Rainbow Dash just… she has feelings. For Cadance. We are not going behind your back, more, talking to your wife first…"

The furious unicorn stallion looked between Cadance and Rainbow, then settling back on Muffins. "Wait, you are an alicorn?"

Muffins beamed up at him. "Sure am, I was trying to get all this sorted out for my friend. She really loves the idea of being… well, your servant. It is more of a kink I think, you can give her a go if you like. Dash, you got anything planned for the next week?"

Rainbow Dash looked up, eyes wide. "Uh, only the weather…"

"Gel, make me look like Rainbow, please?" The words from the alicorn confused everypony right up until her form changed first to dark black, then, as the black stretched up over her head and wings, to aqua. More work was needed with her mane but in a moment Muffins looked just like Dash, but with a horn as well. "There, now I can handle the weather for you… what?" Everypony was staring at her. "Oh come on, it will be fun! I can kick and toss clouds around and-"

"Muffins, not saying you couldn't, but just tell my work that they need somepony to cover for me, okay?" Rainbow knew a bad idea when she saw it, and letting Muffins play her part for a week… that was a bad idea.

"I didn't say we would accept you yet." Shining glared between the two ponyvillians.

"We could try, it wouldn't hurt. Just for a week." Cadance surprised everypony, looking up at Shining. "I feel bad about having done… well, that."

Shining tossed his front legs in the air. "Alright, alright. But Rainbow Dash, you are my servant too." He glared at the suddenly gulping mare.

Rainbow Dash took a deep breath, a little part inside her wanted to fly tight circles around the room in joy. "Yes Master." She slunk forward and leaned in, kissing the stallion's hoof.

"Oh my…" Cadance's heart beat faster, something inside her really, really got off on the sudden submissive display to her husband.

Author's Note

So, handling the Spike/Rarity situation and the Spike/Twilight one seemed to work out, Gel has made a good 'bro friend'

RD really had it bad, she so wanted to be Cadance's special little servant filly that she was even willing to throw in Shining as a bonus.

And then, Cadance lets her little kink slip... what, there is no $#*%*% Cadance emoji?
