Oh...my...Gosh....
"Come on Rarity do I really have to be here?" Rainbow whined for the hundredth time as she hovered behind her Marefriend. Rarity wasn't having any of it as she gestured the pegasus to follow her. It was their one year anniversary after all, Dash couldn't very well talk her way out of something like this.
"Come along darling, our dear friends have invited us to come to their concert -- the least we can do is attend. It would be dreadful of us to snub them when they even provided us tickets."
The blue mare did not like the look of the crowd one bit. Every last one of them was stuffy looking unicorns in the most ridiculous looking clothing imaginable. The only fancy clothes she ever really found passable was what Rarity made anyway. Sure she looked dashing in her trim cut suit that accented her features and let her wings breathe, and Rarity was looking fantastic this evening -- but the whole atmosphere of this place just screamed stuffy and pretentious. Reluctantly she let her hooves touch ground and followed along beside Rarity as they maneuvered through the crowd. After some very... persuasive allusions to later fun, Rarity had managed to convince Rainbow to get her hair done. It was much glossier and softer than usual, but the way it hung around her face along with her suit had actually turned out to look pretty damn awesome in the mirror. She knew this since she spent a good chunk of time doing various poses in front of Rarity's full body mirror before they had left for this dreadful event.
When Vinyl had invited Rarity and her to one of her concerts she had thought that they were going to one of her DJ events as her persona "DJ PON3." This was not the case at all as she came to find out shortly after. Apparently Vinyl and Ocavia met as fillies when they were learning cello together. While Octavia went on to continue on with her skills in the Royal Canterlot Orchestra, Vinyl had broken off to find her passion in all kinds of modern and trending music. Apparently Octavia said she had bet Vinyl had lost her touch with the bow, and Vinyl was only too eager to accept her jab as a challenge.
Before she knew it, Rainbow had nestled grumpily into an uncomfortable seat next to Rarity. Rarity had a knowing and smug looking smile on her face as she sat down with her mare friend but said nothing. Rainbow knew that smirk all too well and pointed an accusing hoof at her in a subtle way so that the others getting seated around them didn't notice.
"I know that look. You think I'm gonna like it don't you..."
Rarity cast a glance languidly at her dapper looking partner and her smirk only widened. She really did clean up nice when Rarity managed to get a hold of the Tom-colt.
"Am I sensing a wager darling?"
Dash met her challenge with her own determined expression. She loved it when Rarity got feisty like that.
"What are ya willing to wager Ma'dam Rarity?" She said the last part in a false sophisticated accent.
Rarity looked away with that same smile onto the stage where Vinyl and Octavia were starting to come out.
"Simple. If you win, I'll do whatever you want , all night long. and If I win you'll offer the same to me."
Rainbow's wings pomfed out and nearly made her fall out of the chair in embarrassment. After she corrected herself and stopped the chair from falling over she coughed into her hoof and tried to regain her composure. Dash's wings were being rather unruly as she tired to fold them behind her back, and her face was a furnace at the moment.
"When you say...."
"Whatever...you...want..." Rarity pronounced each word at length, letting Dash read all the implications from it she wanted.
Rainbow gulped and nodded excitedly, eager for the show to start "You know I can't say no to a deal like that. Prepare to lose Rarity."
"Whatever you say darling." Rarity chimed in a sing song voice.
Now she was determined to not like the show. She HAD to not like the show now. It was practically mandatory now. She watched the two mares on stage setting up their cellos and smiled to herself.
This was going to be too easy.
Dash knew Vinyl was formally a cello player, but it was still a shock to see her come out in such fancy attire and actually look comfortable in it. The color of her suit jacket matched nicely with her glasses that she always loved to wear and seemed to go surprisingly well with her wild blue hair. Octavia meanwhile was wearing a white suit that contrasted perfectly with her body and had on her signature bow tie. The crowd clapped appreciatively at the two of them as they bowed to them in unison got ready. Rarity and Dash joined in on the polite din of clapping hooves.
With a nod to each other... they began.
They sounded really nice...and boring. At least at first. The first few notes made Dash feel like this wager was almost too easy and she had started to close her eyes for a nap. Vinyl was pulling some fancy notes with her bow and she would have to commend her for that later but that didn't take away from it wanting to make her eyes glaze. However the tempo of their playing started to slowly pick up the pace. Something about how the increased speed of the sounds coming out of the cellos made Dash sit just a little bit straighter in her seat and pay a tiny bit more attention to it. Its not like she liked it or anything, she just wanted to see what was going on exactly.
As their bows worked on the strings Octavia and Vinyl's heads were bobbing along to the increasing tempo. Rainbow Dash felt a smile she was trying to force into a disapproving frown fighting for control as Vinyl started practically head banging to the heart pounding sounds they were conjuring up. She looked like she was having a blast as she smiled at Octavia from over her shades. Octavia was also wearing a sultry expression of excitement as well. Dash's wings started to ruffle at the site of the two of them going at their individual cellos. The whole world seemed to of gone quiet save for the sounds they were making now. Rainbow subconsciously brought a hoof to her chest and felt her heart fluttering with adrenaline. Her head was bobbing along with it as well as it increased in volume to a fever pitch.
Then Vinyl stopped her bow and dragged it along the vibrating strings while Octavia continued her onslaught on her own cello. Rainbows eyes were wide as saucers and her hooves desperately tried to cover the wide open smile she had on her face. The sound emitting from Vinyl's cello as she dragged her bow across it was low, guttural, the kind of sound you'd expect at one of her regular concerts. Octavia was completely into it as she kept up the feverish notes they had started before this strange new addition from the DJ. They gave each toothy grins... and then Scratch licked her lips seductively at her mare friend before locking eyes with Rainbow Dash.
Dash was a bit shocked Vinyl saw her in that split second. It was staring into Dash's eyes that the DJ slammed her bow down on her cello's strings with two resounding booms.
The two beats sounded like wubs. She did it again. Two throbbing sounds that echoed through the room accompanied by Octavia's wild playing. Vinyl put her whole body into slamming her bow into it. She was practically jumping with the force of it. Each two beats sounded like Dash's heart in her chest right now. Her hooves were hovering over her cheeks as she watched it happening and her wings were absentmindedly flapping.
Two more booms, followed by the most deliciously aggressive notes Dash had ever heard out of any instrument. The two mares bows were starting to lose its strands of hair as Dash realized they had made their bows from each others tail strands. This wasn't a cello concert. Dash could see the heated looks on their faces as they played.
Those were the faces of two lovers... and it made Dash rightly hot under the collar.
Vinyl started skipping her bow along the strings between each dual pound. Dash was swaying about excitedly in her chair -- her mouth and eyes watering at he display as the DJ skillfully and aggressively applied her herself to her craft.
It was wild.
It was reckless.
At the same time though Dash could tell each movement of the two mares hooves were intentional and practiced as one hoof danced along the neck of the instrument and the other worked the bow.
Vinyl began playing a strangely familiar tune accompanied by her mare friend. Dash couldn't quite put her hoof on it but she was digging every second of it. She could practically feel the words coming out of her mouth as she swayed to their mesmerizing and seductive playing. She couldn't help bite her lip at the display. The two mares on stage were wordlessly goading each other on to get crazier. This Octavia was not the mare she saw at her sophisticated orchestra meetings, this was the secretly wild "Octy" that Vinyl had always bragged to Dash about.
Vinyl flipped her cello over, levitating the bow to keep the music going as she quite literally began smacking the back of the cello with her hoof. It made the most wonderful deep sound of a drum as she peered over at her marefriend and gazed over her thick glasses at her. Octavia was nodding to her and biting her lip as she smirked, not losing step with the rhythm of the song.
Dash adjusted her collar and waved her face with her wing. It was getting awfully hot in here all of a sudden.
Vinyl kept the beat she had started with her hoof with her magic as she flipped the cello about and continued on that familiar yet awesome tune. It was just breathtaking for Dash to behold. She was practically hovering off her chair as she watched the two of them go at it on their identical instruments like they were the only two mares in the room. They had expressions like they weren't touching their cellos...but each other in a way.
Dash's feverish excitement only got more pronounced as they started to get serious and the sounds of their cellos got more aggressive and seductive. Rainbow couldn't lie... at that moment she was feeling more than just hot under the collar, and she hoped her mare friend didn't notice with how wildly her tail and wings were fluttering and swishing about.
The air in the room became thick with anticipation as Octavia ripped off the bow tie around her neck and Vinyl took off her glasses. They stooped in closer to each other, ripping into their instruments so ferociously that strands of their partners tail were being shredded right off their bows. Their eyes were only for each other as their technical prowess shone through in this intense moment. They were trying to one up each other note after note, letting their partner have a turn for the briefest of moments, building up a buzzing sound with their own cello before responding in kind.
One could only imagine what their bedroom life must be like.
Then Vinyl began the preparation for slamming her bow on the cello again, working up the vibrations on her strings before striking at just the right moment. Two booms followed by those oh so familiar notes. Two more as their faces came closer together on stage. two more as they both turned their heads slightly to the side.
The whole room went quiet as the brushed their lips ever so briefly with one another, smoldering lust in their eyes before they devilishly grinned at each other and snapped back to playing just as intensely as before they had stopped. Octavia was apparently pretty moved by this little moment because she was playing wilder than she ever had. To Dash's surprise and amusement she began ripping into her cello, making an impressively warbling high note before gradually falling to the floor. Dash had to cup her mouth with her hooves to stop from laughing and cursing in amazement as the grey mare began spinning on the floor at a breakneck pace on her back -- making her cello sing out in what sounded like the musical equivalent of an orgasm in Rainbow's ears.
They became still after that, panting and posing for the audience.
"SO... AWESOME!" Dash squeaked out to the dead silent auditorium. She looked around at the posh ponies that were seated and they had the expressions of being positively scandalized. Rarity meanwhile was wearing an amused smirk that spelled victory all over it.
Dash floated back down to her chair, listening to the disapproving rumblings of the canterlot elite and harshly whispered to her marefriend.
"Don't they know bucking good music when they here it, that was amazing!"
"I know darling, I also know I won..." Rarity cooed smugly
"Oh...yeah...right...that...." Dash's ears drooped a little at remembering her defeat. The fashionista leaned over and whispered into her ear.
"Vinyl and Octavia invited us over to their place after the concert.... but I won't force you to go if you don't want to." She sang out that last part as she pulled back to her chair. Dash looked at her with literal stars in her eyes.
"You are...the best... mare friend....ever..." the pegasus squeaked out as she shook with excitement.
"I know darling. Happy AniverserMMMPH!" Dash couldn't move fast enough to take Rarity into a passionate kiss. She gladly accepted after her initial surprise.
"Save that energy for later, they apparently want some more 'traditional acts' now." Octavia remarked as she was escorted out of the door with her mute mare friend. Dash scooped up Rarity in her fore-hooves and the fashion pony practically giggled the whole way out of the concert hall. Dash could be the most adorable little thing sometimes.
