Luna and Twisty were with her, which was all Celestia wanted. She clenched hard and trembled. "Relax." Twisty's eyes had the dullest of green glows to them. It was more offer than command, Celestia could reject the power and the changeling knew it. She didn't. A warmth seemed to fill the alicorn, the contraction was past and she could relax because she was safe with her sister and lover.

"Thank you." Celestia meant the words, gazing up into the changeling's features until the next contraction came. She felt things move inside her and even as the contraction ended, her muscles relaxed around a bulge in her birthing canal. "The first is coming."

"Breath deeply, this will be easy for a big mare." The glow was there still and Celestia relaxed into it, she felt the magic of the queen changeling swirling in her head, it was like a fog that covered the things that she didn't need to see or feel. "Now push." The next contraction came and Celestia didn't need the suggestion-command to know this, she bore down on that egg and felt the large mass stretching her, making her body feel too small for it. The glow was back, those eyes flared a little brighter. "Each one, as it leaves you, feels very, very good."

She could have thrown off even this command, but she was with her sister and lover, they were alone together and Celestia liked where Twisty's thoughts went. She inhaled the magic, letting it settle into her and, as she pushed into the next contraction a trembling ran through her body. The egg came free into Luna's waiting grip but Celestia was lost in an orgasm that had pounced on her from nowhere.

"Fourteen to go." Twisty held Celestia's hoof, the alicorn was having no trouble with the eggs and she had decided to spice things up for her wonderful mare. She didn't force the suggestions too deep, they would fade by the end of the day, but she wanted Celestia to enjoy even this part of hatching a new brood. After all, Twisty did want more.

The second egg was working at Celestia's passage, her muscles catching the thing and working it down, one contraction at a time. She puffed and panted, pushing and again her pleasure rose in a wave, making the actually laying a delight. Her body was eager, the next egg already starting it's trip. "How… how many? You counted?"

"Of course I did, and you have thirteen to go. Thirteen more little drone foals, thirteen more delightful orgasms." Twisty leaned in and nuzzled Celestia's cheek. Resting a hoof on the alicorn's lower belly, she felt as each egg slowly worked down, pressing out into Celestia's supple body as they were delivered. She felt the tremble and clench as each orgasm rocked the mare.

By the tenth egg Celestia was pretty much going with the flow, her body having long since gained familiarity with the process and letting its owner coast. The suggestions still held, delighting Celestia and letting her truly enjoy this odd, for a pony, moment.

"Fifteen." Luna set the last egg with the others, with her own. There was a blanket pulled over them, keeping the things at just the right temperature. "Tia, you did so well." The mare was cleaning up, helping restore her sister her dignity.

"You did, my glorious mare. You can rest now, changeling lore tells me I shouldn't refill my mares earlier than six hours after laying their clutch…" Twisty waited for the groan from Celestia before giggling. "I am just kidding of course, only when you are ready and have your full strength back."

Powerful green magic lifted Celestia, carrying her to her soft bed and curling her up. She was barely even aware of the passing of the day into night. She had reached out, instinctively, bringing down the sun for her sister to raise the moon. Twisty curled in beside her and, as Celestia closed her eyes, the green cloud in her mind faded completely.

"I quit."

Steady Shield looked at the seasoned guardspony. "Come on Rough, you have been in the guard for years, what happen? You meet a filly?"

"Sir, I quit." Rough Breaks sounded resolute. "And sir, it was good serving under you but… but I need to leave this, it's too… I want a quieter life."

Steady had nothing else he could do, he picked up the quill and signed the stallion's resignation. "You can bring this back before the end of the week, mind, and I can tear it up." He got a smile from the stallion but also a shake of his head.

"Sorry, sir, I appreciate it but it won't be needed. I finally think I can belong…" Rough looked smitten and Steady had an idea it was either a mare or a stallion had caught his eye… why couldn't his guard just be happy with a changeling every now and again, perfect way to unwind after work.

Rough trotted out of the guard office, breathing freer air. "Now I can join without regrets." The stallion trotted off to find Mellon, she had promised him that he could go with them when they returned to the commune and he trusted every single word the mare said, with no reservation.

Sweetie Drops had slept in on the weekend, she loved nothing more than to spend intimate time with her marefriend, but even Lyra's sweet voice, raised in passion had to give way to the day eventually.

They didn't share words, kisses were given, but the two mares had spent long enough together to understand each other's needs. Breakfast was eaten, gazing into each others eyes. Sweetie could almost forget her duty when looking into Lyra's eyes. "What's with all the noise today, I wonder?"

Sweetie was shocked from her daydream at her lover's words. "Oh? Huh? I hadn't even noticed." Her smile spoke volumes, she was happy she didn't notice.

Lyra got up and went to the window, looking out at the town square from their second-story home above the chocolate shop that Sweetie owned. "Looks like some kind of announcement, a whole lot of ponies in robes."

The curiosity of it piqued Sweetie's interest and she trotted over to look. "Huh, that is odd, guess we go and find out what they want?" Lyra nodded and kissed her, distracting both of them from the disturbance enough that they didn't actually get out for another fifteen minutes.

"…be welcome and accept nature's gift of tranquility and happiness. Nopony need fear, or hate or even worry, the greatest gift is that of pure transcendence." A mare was on the stage, gesturing and talking with a lot of emotion.

"That sounds pretty cool." Lyra trotted over, Sweetie at her side. "All the madness lately has been getting a bit much, Bonny, maybe we could stand to move somewhere a little quieter?"

"Oh sure, say that after I get the shop just the way I want it." Sweetie didn't mean it, her home was always wherever her unicorn wife was, the shop could move. "Maybe we could just go as a little holiday, just for a while?"

Lyra hugged her lover tightly. "That sounds awesome. Where do we sign up?" The last was said up to the mare on stage who held down a hoof to the two.

"You just did. We will be heading back to the commune tonight, it isn't far from here. If you wish to come, please make sure your things are settled here, I promise you will not be able to resist staying if you visit." Mellon's smile was serene and welcoming, it was hard not to like the mare. She counted the ponies who looked interested, traveling all the way out to Canterlot had been the best idea, their little village would double in size with just a few days work.

Lyra and Sweetie retreated to their home. They gathered up all the important things they might need on a holiday, for two ponies who don't tend toward clothing it wasn't much. Lyra did pack a few toys, for them, however. "I can't believe you would bring those! It is meant to be relaxing!" Sweetie had never really gotten into toys with her mate, but she certainly wasn't normally against them. It just took effort for her to integrate them into their fun. "Oh go on, I promise I will play with them too." She kissed Lyra and gladly let the conversation slide.

"What do you think their secret is?" Lyra finished packing her case and levitated it over beside Sweetie's and hoisting them both together.

"Probably go there, everything will be expensive, blah blah blah. Still, we have some bits, if it looks good why not enjoy it?" Sweetie was talking herself into the trip quite easily and Lyra certainly didn't need any more words of encouragement.

The pair made their way outside again, locking up the shop and putting a little sign up explaining they were away on holidays. They spotted the robed ponies near the train station and trotted along together.

"There you are! I didn't want to leave without you. We hired the train to carry all our new friends, so don't fret, everything will be perfect." Mellon Dew seemed to blindside the two mares, her hoof rising to rub each on the cheek.

Sweetie felt an odd tingle, a warmth spreading through her. She glanced at Lyra to see her mate blushing and looking back. They kissed unashamedly and felt the warmth grow.

"Come on girls, all aboard." Mellon's words only made the pair smile more, they were finally getting the holiday they had planned for so long and each felt excited enough about it that they shared knowing glances.

The ride was a short one, the train stopping at a little tiny station that normally wouldn't rate a stop by the regular services. "Here we are everypony, welcome to Paradise Gained." Mellon gestured out to the north and Lyra squinted.

"That's the Everfree, isn't it?" The unicorn looked to Sweetie and got a nod. "Right so… well, maybe they have made it safe?"

"Guess so, lets go!" Sweetie dropped down from the train and trotted around in a few circles on the grass. "Oh I sometimes forget how good it is to just get away and gallop." She spared a glance to Lyra, carrying the bags.

"This way everypony! Paradise is just ahead!" Mellon Dew led the way, her green self trotting delightedly through the low waves of grass, smiling with not a care in the world as ponies followed or ran around. Spring was in the air, a season of growing and wonder. She had brought back a good crop.

The Everfree lacked any real oppression and even as Lyra stepped into the tree line it felt like there was none of the malevolence that the forest near Ponyville had. It practically welcomed them.

"Like, welcome, everypony." The voice that called out was amazing for how well it carried but was quiet, serene. "You are totally all welcome, Paradise Gained is not just a name, it is a lifestyle, man."

Sweetie couldn't see the mare but she knew the voice, it was… it was… oh she knew them, for sure! "This is pretty cool, I think I do like it here oh?" Somepony in a robe handed the mare a fruit, passing one to Lyra too. "Thanks!" She bit into it, the sweetest of flavors flooding her palate. "Oh this is good, I could get used to this…" She ate and ate and, when the small stone seed in the middle was presented she shrugged and gulped it down too.

"Welcome sisters, please sit down and let the new way flow through you." Lyra had finished her fruit in a similar fashion to her Bonny and looked up to see a stallion, long messy mane seemingly so long he could drape it over his back, and did. "Let the life here blossom up inside you!"

Lyra burped and blinked a little, something felt odd. She burped again and felt movement in her belly. "What… what is happening?" She sounded drunk, even to herself, she sat down a moment to try and recover but the feeling of something radiating out from her belly, of her body being… well, invaded. It should have been painful, it should have felt disgusting. If it had been either of those things she could possibly have gotten upset. As it was, everywhere the tendrils reached inside her felt relaxed, at peace.

Sweetie felt the same sensations as her lover, giggling when she saw pretty little flowers start to bud and bloom in Lyra's mane and tail. "Lyra…" Sweetie's voice held the last note, "you are in bloom!" Sweetie giggled and fell over sideways, looking up at the canopy. The tendrils worked through her body, making her squirm as they seemed to not only feel nice, but when they found major nerve areas they actually gave pleasure. The first moan from her was when they found her udder, the second one, echoed by Lyra, was when they found the mare's nethers.

"Bonny, what is going on?" Lyra looked over, bending a hoof to rub her lover's own limb and grip tightly to her. "Feels like it is reaching up… up into my… into my head…" The moment it did the unicorn relaxed completely, only her hoof touching her Bon Bon's keeping her at all anchored to the world. The plant growing inside them, growing to not only guide them but improve them, made sure its every touch gave only pleasure.

The sensation came to Sweetie, of the thing inside her having no will of its own, but it had a purpose and with the link between it and her own mind, she felt it ease that purpose in, aligning her own with it so that she beamed in delight. "She was right, this is paradise." Her hoof gripped Lyra's tight, she tilted her head to look at her mate and her smiled widened, she kissed the mare with the green mane, the same shade as her own.
