Anniversary

Big Mac walked through town pulling a large cart behind him which was piled high with barrels. His expression was stoic, but inside there was a burning fire that would incinerate anypony he would unleash it upon. Perhaps that was why he was making this early delivery, going the longest way on this cold winter’s morning. He simply needed to cool his head.

It was the morning after Major Death Ray had shown up at the farm. When Luna returned, she had not returned alone. With her were the police, who came to take Harvest back to the station with them saying that they needed to talk to him. Naturally, Applejack was upset demanding to know what was going on and waking everypony up in the house who wasn’t already awake. The situation was made all the harder when Hard Cider and Sparkling Cider (the children of Applejack and Harvest) came downstairs to see what was going on. In all the time Big Mac had known Harvest, the thestral pony had never looked more afraid. Still, Harvest managed to calm his wife down, telling her that everything would be alright. He then said goodbye to his children before leaving with the officers as Cadence arrived to watch over Snowsong.

Naturally, Cadence wanted to know what was going on just as much as every other pony in the house. So, after everypony was sitting at the table, Luna told them everything. About why she had been summoned out in the dead of night, about Diamond Tiara filing a complaint against Harvest, and what this investigation would entail. Basically, soon every high ranking member of the Department of Equestrian Education would be arriving along with agents to begin looking into how the Academy work. They would be checking every file, paper, and notepad for anything they might consider suspicious. They would be interviewing the staff as well as the students to see if they spotted anything fishy, odd, or anything like that. Even the farm house might be searched if they felt like Luna was hiding anything there from them! As for the Academy, for now it was basically on lockdown until further notice. Students and teachers were being confined to their dorm rooms, only to be allowed out if they were being interviewed or to eat.

Luna began to break up at the end. It was as if she had been trying to stay strong in front of them, but as she neared the end she couldn’t take it any longer. Mac rushed over to his wife as Cadence gulped and told everypony what happens in these kinds of investigations. For starters, Luna would have to stay in Ponyville until the investigation is over. And if the Reasonable Voice finds what she’s looking for, then the academy will be taken away from Luna.

After that, nopony said a word. They all just sat there for a bit, staring at the table’s surface for a bit until they began to wordlessly get up and left. Applejack took the twins to Rarity’s before heading to the police station where she has remained since. Luna and Cadence went off to vent, both upset over what Reasonable Voice was doing and saying. Big Mac had even spotted Luna sewing up some dolls that somewhat resembled the mare as well as taking every sharp object in the house as well as the baby into the field. Mac was a little afraid to find out what the two of them were up to.

Big Mac was angry. What pony in their right mind wouldn’t be after finding out that their trip had been canceled, your brother in law was possibly in jail, and the school that your wife had created through blood, sweat and tears was being closed down all due to one over-controlling bitch of a mare? Oh, if she were right in front of him, Big Mac would drop everything to strangle the life out of her.

‘Calm down,’ he scolded himself as he continued to walk down the streets. ‘That ain’t the way ya were raised. Things…ain’t that bad.’

This was, thankfully, true. Twilight had written a letter to Princess Celestia to inform her of what was happening. Also, while Reasonable Voice was Chairmare, she wasn’t the only voice in the department. So there was some light at the end of the tunnel. Big Mac just hoped that Princess Celestia would help or that the other ponies from the Department of Equestrian Education weren’t like Reasonable Voice.

--

Princess Celestia was seated at a small table on a balcony which overlooked the city of Canterlot. The sun princess simply adored how the building sparkled in the snow while the sun rose. The way the light shined through the icicles, sometimes creating mini-rainbows that excited the younger ponies. There was no other place Princess Celestia would rather be than here, calmly sipping her hot tea as her secretary/assistant Kibitz was talking about her schedule for the day. So far, it seemed that her day was fairly standard with a few scattered meetings here and there.

“I see,” said Celestia after Kibitz finished while also taking a sip of tea. “Well, it appears that today will be most eventful. Is there anything else that I should be made aware of?”

“Only one,” replied the stallion as he took up a scroll with his magic and opened it. “It was just brought to my attention that Chairmare Reasonable Voice is conducting a full investigation at Luna’s Everfree Academy. Major Harvest Moon has been taken into custody on the grounds of abuse towards one of his students. A filly by the name of Diamond Tiara. Princess Twilight Sparkle has written to you asking for help.”

“Has she now?” said Celestia off handedly. For a bit Celestia just seemed to sit there, sipping her tea while Kibitz waited patiently. As she sat there, Celestia thought about the overly zealous mare who ran the education department. Back when Luna had first announced making the Academy, Reasonable Voice had agreed with Celestia that it didn’t need to exist. Reasonable Voice never missed out on a chance to lash out about the school while shunning those who tried to defend it. Yet Celestia also noticed that the Chairmare also seemed to have some disdain for Luna as well as the school. For whatever reason, the princess of the sun had no idea. Still, ponies were allowed to dislike another pony and voice their opinions.

And while Celestia was against the school, even she had to admit it had done much good. The students that the school produced had grades that rivaled her own school and reached a far more diverse group. Many of those students that had graduated had gone off to good careers and those in the military were reported as being better than those who had been in the military for years. And she couldn’t forget about its assistance during Starlight’s little take over with the Diamond Dogs. Oh, she still didn’t like the school all that much. Mainly it was because of the military like discipline that was subjected to the children.

“Princess,” Kibitz said after a few moments, “How would you like to handle this situation? If you need suggestions, I am perfectly able to give you a few dozen ideas.”

“Oh, there is no need for that,” said Celestia as she sat down her teacup. “I plan on doing nothing.”

Kibitz raised an eyebrow. “Princess, that seems unwise considering the situation,” he said. “Currently, you and Princess Luna are not on the best of terms. Something that, sadly, your subjects have taken notice of. They can all clearly see the rift and rightfully fear what will happen if something isn’t done soon to fix it. Also, from what I’ve read, Luna and her family are under a great deal of stress. Wouldn’t helping her out right now mead some of the tension between you two and help restore harmony?”

“It might,” said Celestia as she stood up, her golden staff materializing in her hand as she did. “However, I believe that it could backfire easily. If I stepped in and made all of this go away, then there would be those who would say that I am assisting in a cover up. That there was something going on at that school that I didn’t want the populace to know about. Eventually ponies would come to distrust Luna and her school. Besides, if there is nothing wrong happening at that school then they shouldn’t have anything to worry about. The investigation will turn up nothing and everything will go back to normal.”

“I see,” said Kibitz slowly as Celestia walked past him on her way to her first appointment of the day. “But what if they are…less than fair?”

Celestia paused mid-step. Slowly she lower her hoof to the ground while also turning her head to look at the elder stallion. She knew what he was hinting at. That Reasonable Voice might try to…edit their findings. Or perhaps stray off topic or the like. It was something that Celestia had to admit was a possibility.

“If that happens,” said Celestia as she looked forwards again. “Then I will personally deal with it. And Reasonable Voice and those assisting her will pay a very high price.” With that, Celestia began to walk once more.

--

“Alright, let’s get started,” said Reasonable Voice as she sat down behind Luna’s desk. As she did, Reasonable’s hand glided over the dark wood that shined brightly indicating that it had been polished recently. For a moment, Reasonable toyed with the idea of taking the desk and keeping it for herself once the school became hers. It wasn’t like Luna was ever going to use it again! However, that idea vaporized from her mind when she saw that along the edges of the desk somepony had engraved the entire lunar cycle in a way that the full moon was situated in the middle of the opposite end of the desk. Frowning, Reasonable began to consider burning it instead.

“Very well,” said the mare next to her. Reasonable turned to look at Rude Voice, Vice Chairmare of the Department of Equestrian Education. While the job title sounded important, what it really translated to was being the Chairmare’s assistant. Somepony to take notes, fix up her schedule, and getting her coffee. As such, Rude was always seen with a clipboard in her hands to make sure that the Chairmare was always on time and knew what was happening.

Oh and she was also the twin sister to Reasonable Voice. Not that it was hard to figure out. Not only did they have similar names, but both their coats and mares were the same color. However, Reasonable refused to allow Rude to address her in a more casual manner, always making sure that her sister referred to her as the Chairmare even when they were alone or outside of the office. Also, Rude did not get to dress in the latest styles like her twin. Instead, she was wearing an older dress that Rarity had made that she had found in a second hand shop. It was a dark purple dress with a few visible stiches here and there, but besides that many stallions (and a few mares!) said she pulled it off nicely.

“According to what I have here,” began Rude as she looked down at her clipboard, “Secret Agenda is looking over the files the school has on Diamond Tiara and Major Harvest Moon. If he notices anything off on any of their reports, then he’ll contact us. Fishy Business is looking deeper into Zecora as well as trying to convince her to head down to the police station so they can use a truth spell to see if she was the one responsible for the incident with the three students. That way we will be able to get confirmation on your theory that she was the one who drugged them. We also have several other agents looking around the school looking for anything that would be a health or safety violation. That leaves the job of interviewing the staff and students to us. I have already made up a list starting with those who were in Diamond Tiara’s unit to see if there were any other students who he might have been abusing or if they say something that we can use.”

Little did they know that those agents were having their hands full. Right now, Secret Agenda had three five-foot stacks of complaints against Diamond Tiara from teachers, students, and other members of the faculty. As for Fishy Business, he found that it didn’t take much to convince the rhyming zebra to come down to the station. Apparently, she too wanted to put these rumors to bed. As for the other agents, they were having a hard time finding anything that would warrant enough of a reason to get the school closed.

“Good, good,” said Reasonable as she rubbed her hands together. “Who’s first?”

“First up, we have a griffon named Grenda,” said Rude, causing Reasonable to roll her eyes.

“They allow those savages in this school?” asked Reasonable as she crossed her arms across her chest while leaning back in her seat. “I shouldn’t be surprised. They allowed a zebra to be a nurse so of course they would allow a brutish griffon in here.”

“Ma’am,” Rude began. “This school is a very progressive school that doesn’t believe in limiting an education to anyone. It’s not like Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns where only unicorns are allowed to-”

“Well it should be,” snapped Reasonable and cutting off her twin mid sentence. “My alma mater was far superior and held the right attitude. Something you would know if you had gone there.”

“It was my choice,” said Rude as she looked down at her clipboard. “I didn’t want to leave my friends.” Just then, there was a knock on the door. “That must be her. Come in!”

The door opened and in walked Grenda, the griffon whose body was that of a panther while her head and wings belonged to a grey owl. Grenda walked with confidence towards the desk, saluted the two of them, and then stood straight at attention.

“Cadet Grenda reported as ordered ma’am!” The griffin said in a voice that seemed to radiate power but also respect. And there she stood, staring straight at them without moving a muscle.

“Ah, there is no need to be so formal,” Rude said after a while. “Please relax. We just want to ask you a few questions.”

“Yes ma’am,” said Grenda, as she spread her legs apart while her hands went behind her back. As she did this, Rude Voice looked over at her boss/sister who was just staring at Grenda with a look of something that could have been a look of irritation or constipation. Either way, she just seemed to stare at Grenda who was un-phased by it. Several times, the corner of Reasonable’s mouth twitched unpleasantly. After a few moments, Rude cleared her throat.

“Well, ah, thank you for coming in today,” said Rude Voice while giving her most genuine smile. “I know we aren’t meeting under the best of circumstances but we just want to ask you a few questions. This is the Chairmare of the Department of Equestrian Education, Miss Reasonable Voice. And I am the-”

“Alright, let’s get this over with,” said Reasonable, cutting off her sister with an added glare. Rude said nothing more, just letting out a resigned sigh as she returned to her clipboard so she could take notes. “Griffon, you’re in former Major Harvest’s unit correct?”

Rude couldn’t help but wince while taking note of the question asked. Her twin’s choice of words plus the harsh tone she used made the whole situation feel very uneasy. While there were several negative rumors still flying around about griffons despite the change in their society, there was no reason to speak to one (a student at that) in such a manner. Rude also noted that Grenda seemed to flinch slightly but otherwise seemed calm on the outside.

“That is correct ma’am,” was the reply. While still sounding formal, there was a bit of a heated undertone to it. Clearly Grenda had been offended, but was doing her best to keep in line. Which was saying something about her character or the training she had received at this school. Rude doubted that she could remain as calm if somepony talked to her in such a manner, calling her ‘unicorn’ instead of using her name.

“Now griffon,” continued Reasonable. “You are now going to tell me honestly what the treatment you have received from the former Major has been like.”

“Can’t complain ma’am,” said the still slightly agitated griffon. “Works us hard. Pushes us at times. Sucks when we all get punished because one is goofing off or something, but that’s just how this place works.”

“Do you dislike it here?” asked Rude. “Do you dislike the Major?”

“No ma’am,” said Grenda with a grin, earning a scowl from Reasonable. “Wanted to come here for years and wouldn’t trade it for anything. Can’t ask for anypony better than the Major. Well, other than Princess Luna of course. I am really hoping that I get into her specialist class.”

“I won’t get your hopes up too high,” said Reasonable coldly. “Now then griffon, have you spotted the former Major targeting anypony? Treating them unfairly?”

“No ma’am,” said Grenda. “The Major treats us all equal.”

“Are you sure?” asked Rude as Grenda looked at her with a raised eyebrow. “It’s not that I doubt your word or want to call you a liar but-”

“I would,” muttered Reasonable as she leaned back into her chair some more with her arms crossed.

“There is a very serious complaint being issued against the Major,” continued Rude, ignoring Reasonable as best she could. “Right now, we’re worried about your wellbeing. So please, think hard. Has there ever been any moment when you thought that he was being…unnecessarily hard or cruel to a particular student? Anytime when you felt that he might have been out of line? Even just the slightest?”

For a moment Grenda stood there staring at Rude before her eyes shifted over at Reasonable. Personally, Grenda doubted if the seated mare gave a damn about the students. Reasonable Voice just ticked her off so much so that she wanted to tell them to get bent in the worst possible way. However, the other mare was trying to be nice about this and seemed to be more sincere. So Grenda closed her eyes and began to think. She ran through all of her memories since she had been here. When she was done, she let out a sigh.

“I don’t know what to tell you,” said Grenda. “I’ve never seen Major Harvest doing anything to a student that he or she didn’t have coming their way. The dude treats us all equally.”

Reasonable leaned forwards in her chair a bit. “Now we’re getting somewhere,” she said with a smile. “Griffon, what do you mean when you said ‘coming their way’?”

“It’s just how things are around here,” said Grenda as she failed to suppress a growl of frustration. “You screw up, cause trouble, break the rules, or anything like that gets you and the unit in trouble. The more it happens, the worse the punishments get. The instructors go easier on us if it’s a genuine mistake or slip up, but when it keeps happening well that’s when they put the pressure down on us. We’ve all known this since day one and most of us do our best not to let that happen.”

“You said ‘most of us’,” said Rude as she wrote down some more notes. “Is there any students that are constant trouble makers?”

“Only one in my unit,” answered Grenda. “A real bitch named Diamond Tiara.” As she said this, the two mares in the room had different reactions. Rude Voice’s eyes widened a bit while Reasonable’s eyes narrowed.

“I think we’re done here,” said Reasonable. “I believe it’s clear that we can’t take the word of this griffon. This has been a waste of time.”

“Chairmare, please,” began Rude but was interrupted as Grenda took a loud step forwards. Grenda had reached the limit of her ability to control her anger. She pointed an angry talon at Reasonable who actually looked shocked at this display.

“Listen here bitch!” yelled Grenda as she balled her fists. “I don’t know what your deal is but if you think you can call me in here, grill me for answers, and then call me a liar for no fucking reason, then you got another thing coming! I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but the truth is Diamond Tiara is a rude bitch who thinks everyone else is beneath her. She is a constant shit stain on this school. I can’t count how many times the unit has been punished because she didn’t do her Celestia damned homework, insulted a teacher, or just wasn’t giving a damn! We all know she’s the one who messed with Zecora’s potion! Did you get that shit brain or do I need to speak slower?”

“Y-You animal!” roared Reasonable. “Do you have any idea in the bird brain of yours who I am? I am the Chairmare of-”

“Oh shut the fuck up!” snapped Grenda cutting off Reasonable. “I don’t give a flying fuck about that title of yours! If you think that title lets you throw your weight around and that everyone else is beneath you, then you’ve got another thing coming!” A thought ran through Grenda’s head which caused her to snort in amusement. “You know what, you probably love yourself so much that you inhale your own farts.”

“Enough of this!” yelled Reasonable as she stood up, slamming the palms of her hands against the desk as she did so. Her teeth clenched as she stared at the griffon who dared speak to her in such a manner. “I will not allow you to speak to me or that sweet, innocent filly like that. Rude, get this animal out of here this instant.”

“Y-Yes ma’am,” said Rude before walking over to Grenda. When she was standing next to her, Rude gently placed a hand on Grenda’s shoulder. “I’m sorry that things became so…heated.”

“Yeah well,” began Grenda as she turned around and stopped. She then began looking at Rude as if seeing her for the first time, all wide eyed. “Wait a second. Your name is Rude and you look like that stuck up bitch. Are you two related?”

“That is correct Miss Grenda,” said Rude. “We’re twins.”

Grenda blinked at this. “Did your parents get you mixed up as foals or something?”

--

After what felt like hours walking in the snow, Big Mac came to his destination about a mile or two outside of Ponyville. It was a two story rectangular building that looked like it could hold a hundred or so ponies. The building was painted a dark grey color and the only windows that could be seen were on the second level. Beyond that, the building looked like it was nothing special as well as being out of place since it was out so far on its own with no visible crops to harvest. However, Big Mac knew that this place was one of the most popular places a stallion or mare could go to after just getting paid, having a lousy day, or just wanted to hang out. Even Luna came out here every once in awhile but that was mostly to chat with the owner who lived in the upstairs apartment. It was called The Cove, the closest bar to Ponyville.

As Big Mac lifted one of the barrels of aged hard cider out of his cart, he noticed that there were several freshly made tracks leading to the building. This, however, was odd but not unusual. The owner would sometimes open up the place during the morning for ponies like the Night Guard or those who worked late night shifts so that they could relax after a hard night's work. So with a barrel on his shoulder, Mac walked over to the freshly plowed entrance and opened the steel like door.

The inside of The Cove had a bit of a swashbuckler theme going for it. The dozen or so tables scattered about looked like the steering wheel of a pirate’s ship. All of the seats, including the ones near the bartender’s station, looked like they were made from barrels or driftwood to go with the theme. On the walls were several pictures depicting drunken sailors from various eras of Equestria’s history. Some of the older ones showed sailor ponies with missing teeth, harassing the serving wench while spilling there apple rum all over the place. The newer ones, by contrast, looked more like photographs depicting the sailors in more modern day attire playing cards and sipping hard cider. Also on the wall were pictures of Princess Luna and Princess Twilight. The two had been recently asked by the owner a few weeks ago to have their pictures taken for The Cove while wearing pirate attire. Since they had known the owner for years, they agreed and now those pictures were on display. Luna’s had her wearing an outfit that exposed her sexy cleavage while holding a cutlass in her teeth. As for the adorkable purple princess, she was wearing a similar get up but showing her midsection instead as well as holding two pistols. Also hanging on the walls were various items like cutlasses, pirate flags, and phony treasure maps. In the middle of the bar were four pool tables that were in prime condition, just waiting for a group of ponies to play a friendly game on them.

There were only four ponies in the building that Big Mac could see and they were all by the bartender’s station. Looking over there, Mac saw the many expensive bottles of liquor as well as the many different drinking glasses. Some of the alcohol was only slightly less common and a bit stronger than the hard cider that the Apple family produced while others were just the super fancy stuff that came all the way from Prance. Mac had only tried the super fancy stuff once and found it less than satisfying for the price of three hundred bits a glass. It was just a waste of money. And of course there were the many glasses up there with the most numerous one being the wooden tankards used for the hard cider going all the way to wine and shot glasses. Also taped to the wall next to the bottles and glasses was a picture of a female threshal wearing her Night Guard uniform.

As for the ponies, there were two stallions/colts and two mares. The mares, Aloe and Lotus, were sitting on the bar stools talking to each other in hushed voices. The other two were Snips and Snails. For some reason that not even Luna would know, the two were standing behind the bar cleaning the glasses with rags that looked like they had just been used to clean pigs. Yeah, if those two were working here then there was no chance he was ever going to get a drink here. Speaking of which, what were they doing here?

“Hey Big Mac,” shouted Snips as he began waving the hand holding the dirty rag in the air sending whatever loose filth that was on it all over the place. The two mares visibly flinched as some of the gunk fell onto their white spa uniforms causing them to glare at the unicorn.

“Look vhat you have done,” said Aloe as she gestured to her outfit. “Now I must return home and change.”

“I-It was an accident,” said Snips as he held up his hands in defense.

“Yeah, ah, and it's our first day,” added Snails.

“What happened to Hay Burger?” asked Big Mac as he walked over to the bartender’s station and set the barrel on the ground. As he did this, he couldn't help noticing the two mares watching him, eyeing his muscles as he did this.

“Oh, we got fired,” said Snips as if Big Mac had asked about the weather. “After what happened with Diamond Tiara, well our boss really wasn’t happy.”

“Yeah, hehe, and spraying a customer with hot sauce really didn’t help,” added Snails as a goofy grin appeared on his face. This information caused the mares to get out of their seat and move to a table far enough away from the two.

Big Mac could only shake his head at the two. This wasn’t the first time he had heard they had been fired from a job. Ever since the two left school, they had been picking up whatever work they could find. Heck, they even tried to get a job working at Sweet Apple Acres as well as trying to enroll at Luna’s Academy. Mac had to fire them after one cut down several trees in order to get the apples while the other took an entire day to pick half the apples off of one tree. As for Luna, she took one look at the school records before flat out telling the two that they weren’t cut out for the Academy. All in all, it seemed like there was no permanent place for the two.

“So, now you’re working here?” asked Big Mac with a raised eyebrow.

“No they’re not,” came a voice from behind Mac. “I just asked them to watch the place while I ran an emergency.” Big Mac turned to look at who spoke, noticing the spa twins letting out a sigh of relief as he did, and saw that it was the owner: Pip. Pip had grown up some, but he was still the shortest stallion that Mac knew besides Snips. Standing straight up the pinto was about five feet tall, wearing jeans and a red t-shirt that had ‘The Cove’ written in large white letters. Mac could see that Pip was holding a magazine in one hand which read ‘Mail Order Brides’ on it.

As Pip walked over to the bartender’s station, the two unicorns got out from behind it creating several crashes as they did so. When Pip got back there, he looked at the floor, sighed, and hung his head in shame for being dumb enough to trust these two. Big Mac watched as Pip mouthed ‘Never again’ several times before placing the magazine under the table and then looking at the red stallion.

“So what can I do for you Mac?” asked Pip while doing his best to look cheerful. “I thought you and Luna were going on a vacation.”

“Something, er, came up and we had ta cancel,” said Mac while looking away. “So ah thought ah’d deliver ya’r cider early.”

Pip let out a sigh. “Yeah, looks like bad luck is happening all round,” he said while reaching under the table to get Mac’s payment. “Heard a rumor floating around town about what’s going on at Luna’s school. Tough luck there mate.”

“Sounds like things aren’t going so well for you,” said Mac as Pip held out the payment which Mac accepted. “It isn’t about those two, is it?”

Pip shook his head. “It’s Rumble,” said the pinto with a hint of sadness in his voice. “Poor chap came in this morning with the Night Guard, wanting to get smashed. Won’t let him have any of the hard stuff, just normal cider with a friendly ear. Once most of the Guard left, I took him down to Rarity’s. Poor bloke is, well I don’t need to tell you how he’s feeling.”

Sadly, Big Mac nodded. From what he had been told, Rumble left the Academy after what happened with Zecora. He was blaming himself for what had happened, not able to forgive himself. After he left the school, the pegasus had gone to stay with his brother, Rarity, and their daughter Crimson Ink. Most days he just lies on the couch, staring at the ceiling before heading out in an attempt to get a drink or anything that would take the pain away. Luckily, Pip had a policy in place where he refused to serve anypony who was looking to drown their sorrows away and Luna had seen to it that he was getting help. And, according to Rarity, there were days when he seemed to be getting better.
“Well he’s lucky ta have ya as a friend,” said Mac.

“Excuse me,” said Lotus as she appeared next to Mac, her sudden appearance causing the two gents to turn to look at her. “Ve need to talk, darling before ve have to open up de spa. Ve need to set up a reservation for a party here.”

“Oh,” said Pip after blinking. “Of course.”

With that done and out of the way, Mac walked towards the door so he could make another delivery. However, when he placed his hand on the door, he felt something light touched his arm. It was a hand belonging to Aloe.

“Sorry, but I could help but overhear what you and Pip vere talking about,” she said as she flicked her tail. “And I think I have something that might…help you out. For a price of course.”

Mac frowned. He couldn’t help it. What could she offer him to make up for his lost honeymoon trip? And what would it cost him? Most likely, it would be some royal favor that she thought Luna could grant her. Like, maybe tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala or being introduced to some famous celebrity. Part of him wanted to say no on the spot, but he decided to humor her.

“Ya think ya can help?” he asked.

“Oh, absolutely darling,” said Aloe. “I could lend you the Ponyville Spa for the day.” Aloe then bat her eyes as she placed a hand on Mac’s chiseled chest. “I am sure that Luna would appreciate the time alone as you work on her body. Just the two of you, alone in a spa with so many things to take…advantage of.” That last part Aloe practically purred causing Mac to gulp. It was a very tempting offer. Something to take the stress off of Luna. Not to mention, it being just the two of them. It wouldn’t be like the island, but it was as close as they could get right now. The only problem was the price. Judging by the way Aloe was talking, as well as the fact that she hadn’t taken her hand off of him, Mac had a good idea what she wanted. Well, Mac was a married stallion with a wife he loved that he refused to cheat on! So the answer was-

“And all ve want is first dibs on the cider when cider season starts,” finished Aloe as she took her hand off of him.

Mac blinked as his jaw hung loosely. “Ya want…cider?” he asked.

“Oh darling, ve are so SICK of that Pinkie pony getting all of the cider every year,” moaned Aloe. “Last year, ve only got one glass each!”

“Sold,” said Mac.

“There’s no need to be afraid, Ancient Text,” said Reasonable in a pleasant voice. “Would you like to sit down?”

“T-That would be n-n-nice,” said the elder unicorn, his body twitching every once in awhile as he looked around the room as if expecting somepony to jump out at him any moment. He watched as Reasonable shot Rude a glare causing her to move and get the chair. Once Rude had placed it next to him, he quickly sat down.

“Now then, according to your files you used to work at Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns before there was…an accident,” said Reasonable Voice sweetly.

“S-S-So many m-magic users in one r-r-room,” stammered Text as he gripped the side of chair. Sweat began to appear on his face as he thought about that incident. “S-Something bad w-was e-eventually going t-to h-h-happen. I w-was just the u-unlucky one.”

“Well regardless of what happened in the past, you strike me as a stallion who can tell the truth,” said Reasonable with a grin.

Ancient Text blinked. “The t-t-truth?” he asked.

“Yes my dear sir,” said Reasonable with a nod. “I know that there is something going on here with a student. Something that nopony really wants to admit what is honestly going on. Now, I can assure you that you have nothing to fear. Speak your mind and nopony will think any less of you.”

“W-Which student?” asked Text.

“A filly named Diamond Tiara,” said Reasonable Voice, noticing Ancient Text’s eyes widen at the name. “I want to know the whole truth about the abuse involving her.”

“Oh, I can tell you about the abuse involving her,” said Ancient Text without a stutter with a hint of darkness in his voice. “Out of all the students, that little brat has been the worst of all time. I can’t tell you how many times she has slacked off, talked back, and basically been a rude little demon to everypony here. But regardless of how she behaves, Princess Luna refuses to kick her spoiled plot out of here!”

Reasonable Voice stared at Ancient Text as he began to pant thanks to his little rant. The only other sound in the office was the sound of Rude’s quill moving to take notes.

--

Luna panted softly as she gazed at her target. In her hands was a large, two sided battle axe that she kept on the farm for…security purposes. In front of her was a stuffed life sized doll she had recently made out of cotton and various clothes which was tied to a wooden post in the middle of an empty field. It had been Granny Smith who had taught her how to do this for when she finally became a mother and would then be able to make her foal a homemade doll. While it wasn’t as impressive as the ones Granny could make, it would do for what Luna needed at the moment: an outlet for the fiery rage she felt inside. And this doll was doing its job since Luna did her best to make it look like Reasonable Voice.

With a loud war cry, Luna charged at the doll and swung her axe with all her might. Effortlessly, the blade connected with the doll’s neck sending its head flying off into the orchard. Before Luna could move another muscle, she could hear giggling behind her as well as soft clapping. The princess of the night turned around with a smile on her face. Now standing before her were Princesses Twilight and Cadence with the latter holding on to baby Snowsong. When Snowsong saw that her mother was looking at her, she reached out her tiny arms in an effort to beckon her.

“It’s a little unnerving that she finds you decapitating ponies amusing,” said Cadence as Luna walked over to her. As she did, Luna’s horn glowed followed by a similar glow around her weapon before it flew from her grasp and landed safely against a tree. Now with her hands free from anything that could hurt her child, Luna scoped up her foal from Cadence.

“I don’t think so,” said Luna before kissing Snowsong’s forehead. “It just means she knows an unlikeable pony when she sees one and enjoys watching her mommy killing them.”

“I hope not,” groaned Cadence.

“Less talking, more stabbing,” said Twilight as she created a blade out of pure magic and then rushed over to the headless doll. She then began to violently stab it while yelling various curses at it. Luna looked upon this with a slim smile, Snowsong just kept giggling, and Cadence just brought a hand to her forehead.

“I have never seen Twilight this…bloodthirsty,” said the pink alicorn. “That mare must be some piece of work.”

“Oh she is,” said Luna as they watched Twilight blast a giant hole through the doll with her magic. “You do know what she said about you, right?”

“Yeah,” said Cadence, her teeth slightly grit as she did so. “Bringing up my wedding was just a low blow. But I guess I would have had to have been there to get the full impact. Kind of glad I wasn’t or else I might be seeing red like Twilight.”

Luna let out a humorless chuckle. “Trust me, you wou-” she began but stopped when something appeared in front of her. Like a bolt of pink lightning, Pinkie Pie landed on the ground a few inches in front of her from who knows where. It was only thanks to several previous exposures to this that had trained Luna not to throw her hands into the air in fright otherwise she might have thrown her baby into the air by accident.

“THERE YOU ARE LUNA!” shouted Pinkie at the top of her lungs, causing Snowsong to cry. Pinkie let out a gasp as she realized what she had done. Quickly, she took the baby from Luna. “Oh don’t cry! Auntie Pinkie didn’t mean to scare you. She just got super excited to find your mommy after looking around Sweet Apple Acres for like forever so she could take her away from you.” Snowsong paused for a moment in her crying as she took in what Pinkie Pie was saying. When it had processed through her foalish mind, she began to cry even harder.

“Pinkie, what is going on?” demanded Luna as she teleported Snowsong into her arms. “I am really not in the mood for games today.”

“I know,” said Pinkie Pie, her smile fading a bit. “But that’s not why I’m here. Big Mac wanted me to go and tell you to come to the Ponyville spa as quickly as you can. And since it sounded super-duper important, I went as quickly as I could. So I ate all of my emergency triple frosted cupcakes dipped in sugar so I would have the energy to move at super Pinkie speed to get to you in a hurry.” She then scratched the back of her head. “Sorry if I scared you.”

Luna looked at her for a moment before sighing. “It's fine,” she said while handing Snowsong to Cadence. “Your intentions, as well as your heart, were in the right place. However, please try to use a little caution in the future.”

“Kay,” said Pinkie with a grin.

“Now then, you said that Mac wants me at the Ponyville Spa?” asked Luna earning a vigorous nod from Pinkie. Luna turned to look at Cadence. “I’ll return as soon as I can. Please watch Snowsong until I return.”

“That’s why I’m here,” said Cadence as Luna’s horn began to glow. A moment later, the night princess vanished in a brilliant light. Once she had gone, Cadence turned to Pinkie.

“So what do you think Big Mac has planned?” she asked. Pinkie didn’t answer right away. Instead, she reached into her mane and began digging around until she found something. She pulled out what looked like a stack of papers with the word ‘The Script’ on the top one. Ignoring Cadence’s confusion, Pinkie began to flip through the pages until she found what she was looking for. Her eyes began to dart back and forth as she skimmed what was to come until her eyes widened and her cheeks began to burn bright red. She then put the pages back into her mane before walking over to the two and placing her hands over Snowsong’s ears.

“Big time sex,” was all Pinkie could say.

--

A few moments after she vanished from Sweet Apple Acres, Luna appeared at the entrance of the Ponyville Spa. Looking at the door, she noticed a sign that read “Reserved for the Day” in bright read letters with both Luna’s and Big Mac’s cutie marks at the bottom to show who had made the reservation. The princess raised an eyebrow, wondering where her husband got the bits or what he had to do to afford something like this. After all, renting an entire spa just for the two of them couldn’t have been cheap! But still, Luna appreciated the gesture. She could use a nice massage to get rid of all of the stress.

So, with a smile appearing on her face, Luna entered the building. Inside, Luna saw that it was empty. Not just of customers, but the staff was absent as well. Normally when she entered, mares who ran the place would greet her. While this struck her as odd, there was a logical reason for this. Several actually. The primary one being that they weren’t expecting her so soon and thus were in the back with Big Mac. Just because Equestria was a country that got attacked by some unspeakable horror every other moon and she was living in the town that seemed to have the most trouble in the entire country was no…

‘Maybe I’d better stay on my guard’, thought Luna as she began to slowly walk deeper into the spa, a dozen or so spells ready to be fired in a moment’s notice.

Luna walked past a fancy curtain that separated the greeting area of the spa from the rest of it. Several massage tables were placed along the wall and several yards from those was a large wooden bathtub used for herbal baths. Along another wall were several reclining seats so mares could get things like seaweed wraps or their nails and hooves done. In the middle of the room was Big Mac wearing nothing except a white speedo. His coat had a shine to it allowing the light to make his muscular body shine all the brighter. Luna subconsciously licked her lips as her gaze was locked on her hunk of a husband. If she had continued to look around, she would have noticed a glass bowl behind him full of some kind of see-through substance as well as a blow up mattress right behind him.

Silently, Mac walked towards her. As he got closer, Luna could smell his freshly shampooed mane and the scent of oils in his coat. Oh, he had gone the full nine yards with this.

“Glad ta see ya’re on time for ya’r appointment,” said Mac with a grin as he stopped in front of Luna.

“Mac, what is all this?” asked Luna with flushed cheeks.

“Just a little somethin’ ta say happy anniversary as well as release a little stress,” replied Big Mac before gesturing to the back of the building where the changing rooms were. “Ah got one of ya’r bikinis in the back. How about ya slip on into it so we can get this hoedown started.”

“Ahh, you don’t want me to change right here in front of you?” pouted Luna. “I thought you loved that?”

“Truly ah do,” said Mac. “But if ya did that, then ah might ruin the surprise.”

“Ohh, now you got me curious,” said Luna as she began to walk towards the back while walking in the most seductive manner she could. “I’ll be back in a minute.”

Soon enough, Luna found herself getting undressed and dressed in the back. Looking at the plain black bikini Mac had picked out, well, she was slightly disappointed. She had several ‘special’ bikinis that she had purchased over the years. Ones that she could never wear in a public swimming pool, only in the lake or river that the Apple family owned. Bikinis that were nothing more than spaghetti strings that covered nothing or ones that had holes cut out over her naughty bits.

‘Still’, thought Luna as she posed in front of a mirror that was in the room. ‘I look sexy enough even with something like this on.’ This was certainly true as Luna held one arm up towards the ceiling while the other rested on her hip. Despite recently giving birth, all the signs that she had been pregnant had vanished thanks to her alicorn physiology. Her time at the Academy as well as her own personal training and fighting monsters had her figure firm while remaining sexy. Her breasts had gotten a bit bigger, but not by much. And the black bikini looked striking on her thanks to the color of her coat.

As soon as she was dressed, Luna exited the room to find that Mac had moved. Now he was standing next to the bath tub, gesturing with a hand for her to come. Smiling, Luna obliged as she sashayed over to him. When she got over to him, Luna gave her stallion a quick kiss before looking out into the tub. She had noticed that there was something floating it the water. It was one of those floating trays she had seen in a pony’s personal pool. But instead of drinks, it held various soaps which Luna suspected were to be used on her. There was also a jar with a lid on it and inside the jar were hundreds of small pink spheres that were no larger than a pea.

Big Mac made the first move, stepping into the tub while also holding out his hand for his wife to take. Luna’s soft hand slide on to Mac’s rugged one before she took a step into the water. The moment her hoof touched the liquid, her eyes closed and she couldn't help but let out a blissful moan. The water was the perfect temperature. She knew some mares liked the water so cold that it could freeze up on you any second while others liked it so hot that your coat would turn red. But this water was warm. To her it was like stepping into a liquid blanket that wrapped around her, urging her to fall asleep. And right now, that’s what she wanted to do. Just lie down in the water and relax.

Big Mac, however, had other plans. Oh, he was going to let her lie down but not just right away. The moment both of Luna’s sexy legs were in the water he had turned to grab the jar. He could feel Luna’s eyes watching him as he opened it up, took out one of the orbs, and placed the jar back on the floating tray. Luna’s eyes widened as he opened the jar, the scent of strawberries that they produced allowed her to finally realize what they were and what Big Mac had planned for them.

“Turn around,” he said calmly.

Luna was both nervous and excited for what was about to happen, causing her to pause for a moment. Big Mac just watched her, saying and doing nothing. If she didn’t want this, then he wasn’t going to force her. It was only when he made the move to put the tiny sphere back in its jar that Luna turned around and bent down, presenting her heavenly plot for him. Big Mac nodded in approval as he walked through the water to get closer to his beloved. Once he was close enough, he brought his free hand down gently onto her cutie mark to caress it softly. He closed his eyes taking in the softness of her fur. Luna herself let out a hum of approval as she enjoyed this simple touch. Yet, all things have to end and Big Mac knew that. His free hand moved across her flank towards her tail. Once it was there, he pushed the fabric to the side while at the same time bending down so that he was at eye level with her tail hole. Gazing at the puckered hole, Mac licked his lips before taking the orb and placing it at the entrance. There was some resistance but relatively quick he managed to push it in.

Luna let out a gasp as she felt the orb enter her rear. She took a couple breaths to help calm herself as she waited for the object to begin its work while Big Mac put her bikini bottom back into place. The orb was something that Applejack and Harvest had discovered in the red light district of Manehatten. That was back in the day when Applejack would only have anal sex and the two were looking for something to spice up their love life. What they found was a suppository that would clean out a mare’s rectum of filth while also leaving behind a various taste making rimjobs more enjoyable. Several times, Applejack had told Luna how good it felt but the night princess had never tried it before.

Figuring it would take a while, Luna began to sink into the water with Mac still behind her. She could feel the water move and figured that he too was submerging himself. This was confirmed as his powerful hands grabbed Luna to pull her into Mac lap. Luna’s wings twitched slightly as she eased herself onto his back, feeling the farmer’s muscular body against hers. She could feel his member harden, wishing there weren’t two layers of fabric separating it from her flesh.

Meanwhile, Big Mac had reached over to grab some liquid soap. Quickly applying it to his right hand, he snaked around Luna and began to rub the fur right under her right breast. He delighted in hearing Luna coo as he rubbed her body gently, lathering it up in the process. With a smile on his face, Mac moved his free hand downwards into the water towards her inner thigh. Once his hand had reached its destination, Big Mac began to rub there as well causing Luna’s head to tilt back slightly and her wings to stiffen. For the final touch, he brought his lips to her neck so that he could begin to apply small but sensual kisses to it.

Luna moaned while arching her back for a moment, the orb in her rear was getting to work. First, it had transformed from its normal solid state into a liquid. Then within mere seconds, it had become a foam that ate away at anything that a pony might find unpleasant in there. While it did this, Luna could feel a tingling sensation near her tail that sent shivers down her spine. No wonder Applejack loved these things so much.

As time went on, Mac began to take things up a notch. Still lathering up her fur, he had moved onto her right breast. Starting at its underbelly, he began to lift it up slightly while also giving it a playful squeeze. For a moment, he had to take his hand away to get more soap, earning a disappointed hum from Luna, but quickly getting back to work. His soapy hand slid under the bra of her bikini allowing him to caress her mound directly. He could hear her breathing quicken as his fingers traced the outside of her areola before moving inwards towards her hardened nipple. Gently, he began to lather that as well causing his beloved princess to squirm.

Down below the water, Mac’s left hand was also hard at work. No longer was it simply running across her inner thigh but instead was focusing on her sweet honey pot. He didn’t move the fabric out of the way or slip under it like he had done with her top. Instead, Mac simply began to stroke her pussy through the material using his middle finger.

Luna closed her eyes as Big Mac continued his ministrations on her body with the additions of using his tongue upon her neck. Desperately, she wanted them out of their swimwear so they could just rut in the tub like animals. She wanted to take his cock in her mouth in order to drink his seed before he placed it in her pussy. To have his hands or tongue touch her naked pussy until her juices slash everywhere. To feel his tongue against her hardened nipples.

Eventually, Mac took both of his hands away so that he could switch things up. Luna let out a groan of frustration as Mac’s hand started over from the beginning but on opposite sides. This teasing was becoming agonizing. She tried to turn around so that she could kiss him with a lustful passion that might get him to take her on the spot, but sadly for her Big Mac held her in place.

“Mac,” groaned Luna. “Please, I need more.” At first, Mac neither moved nor did he say a word. He seemed content to just sit there which caused Luna to worry slightly. Had she angered him by that simply request? Was he going to punish her by leaving her like this, wanting more?

However, she then felt Mac’s body shift as he moved closer to her ear. He then whispered into it, his words dripping with so much lust that it sent a quiver down Luna’s spine.

“Ah think ah can give ya a sample of the main dish. Get up an place ya’re hands on the edge of the tub.”

Luna complied on the spot. When she was done, Luna found herself bent forwards as to present her stellar plot to her husband’s face. Looking over her shoulder, Luna could see that he was now on his knees, slowing moving forwards to press his nose against her covered slit. Once contact was made, he inhaled deeply causing Luna to release a pleasant coo. He then moved both her bottom and tail out of the way so that he could get an unobstructed view of her damp pussy. She knew it was winking at him, begging him to get up and slam his dick inside her. Or at least he could shove his tongue inside of her!

But no, Mac just stared there for a bit longer before he moved upwards to her tail hole. Luna’s breath hitched as she felt his tongue circle around it. Her legs trembled a bit while her hands gripped tighter on the edge. The feeling on Big Mac’s twirling tongue against that hole caused her to feel an awkward sense of pleasure. Soon, her stallion began to change things up starting with one long lick that began at the edge of her pussy and ending at her asshole. He then alternated from back and forth to up and down before going back to a circular motion. Luna soon began having troubles keeping her plot still as her his began to shake back and forth.

Eventually, Mac decided to go deeper. Using two fingers, he spread her hole enough to allow his tongue access. As soon as it was in, all Big Mac could taste were sweet strawberries thanks to that orb. Big Mac leaned forwards until his nose was touching Luna’s furry rear allowing his tongue to wiggle about her anal passage.

Luna could no longer keep control. It started with her gritting her teeth until finally she let out a lustful howl, her wet wings standing up straight in the process. No longer was she Luna, the Night Princess, but a lust fueled beast who desperately wanted to cum. It just felt so unnaturally good. Now she understood why Applejack used these things! Her body soon began to move a bit on its own, bucking her hips back and forth so that Big Mac could tongue fuck her rear. While that was going on, one of Luna’s hands found its way to her bikini bottom. It moved underneath the fabric so that those soft digits could come into contact with her dripping wet folds. Vigorously, Luna began to rub her snatch while at the same time closing her eyes tight. No words escaped her throat as she did this, just hisses and moans that caused Big Mac to redouble his efforts.

When her orgasm hit her, Luna could not form the words to tell her beloved. Her eyes suddenly shot open as she opened her mouth to let out a silent scream as she came harder than she had in awhile. As her orgasm faded, Luna tried her best to keep her body up yet failed as it sank into the water resulting in Big Mac being forced to remove his tongue from her perfect rear. When that happened, he pulled her into his arms to kiss her deeply.

The rest of their bath went without incident, allowing Luna to recover from her orgasm. They stayed in the water, Mac washing Luna’s body without doing anything sensual. Luna had to admit that she was mildly disappointed in this. Part of her wanted Mac to continue so that she could repay him by making him cum as well. Sadly, the strength of her orgasm had robbed her of most of her strength at the moment. So she decided just to enjoy the pampering.

Eventually, Big Mac finished washing her up and led her by the hand out of the tub. After getting out, Mac took a towel to dry her off before the two made their way to the blowup mattress with Luna just now realizing it was there.

“Lay down,” said Mac.

Wordlessly, Luna obeyed, laying on the mattress face down using her arms to rest her head on. Turning her head, Luna watched as Mac bent down and undid the back of her bikini bra allowing the straps to fall to her sides. From there, Mac began what could be called a decent massage. Rubbing around her neck, around her wing joints, and generally around her back. At times, Luna felt he was being a bit too rough with his strong hands. But that was to be expected. Very rarely did she ask him for a massage, instead going to a professional. Still, the act was greatly appreciated and he wasn’t doing too bad of a job.

Soon, Big Mac’s hands reached her lower section. Without saying a word, he slid off her bikini bottom leaving her plot exposed. With a smile on her face, Luna watched as Mac took off his speedo. Her heart began to quicken its pace slightly and her pussy began to grow moist. It was finally going to happen! She just knew that Mac was going to get on with the main event!

However, Mac did something she didn’t expect. Instead of preparing to rut her, he instead went to the bowl and reached inside with both hands. When he pulled them out, Luna saw that his hands were covered in a clear, gel like substance. Things got even more confusing when he began to smear the gel all over his naked body starting at his chest. Light reflected off of his coat from his shoulders all the way down to his groan thanks to the gel.

After he had done that, Big Mac did something that Luna never saw coming. He laid down on Luna’s back and began to smear the substance that was on him onto her. It was such a strange sensation. The gel, whatever it was, had no odor to it that Luna could smell nor did it cause any tingling sensations that she could feel right away. All it seemed to do was allow Mac to glide over her body with the greatest of ease, most likely making her back shine in the light like his. But, Mac didn’t stop with just her backside. He held up an arm so that he could slide his body against it before going to the next. Mac brought his chest down to her legs, rubbing himself against them as well. The only time Big Mac stopped was when he needed to apply more gel onto his body until Luna’s backside was completely covered.

While this wasn’t what she expected, Luna had to admit that it did feel good as well as sensual. The pressure created by Mac’s body hit everything and she could feel several knots in her back loosen. Plus, the feeling of having his hardened dick sliding along her body was an interesting to say the least.

Once that was done, Big Mac applied more of the gel only on his dick. After that, he moved over to Luna so that he could place his hands on her ass. Pleasant sighs escaped Luna’s lips as he began to caress and squeeze them lovingly while at the same time spreading her legs a bit so he could be kneeling in between them. He then gave her right flank a light smack before placing his massive dick between her buns.

Luna’s eyes widened as Big Mac began to rock back and forth. It was gentle and the gel seemed to be a very effective lubricant. Her breath was caught for a moment or two as she felt his member against her asshole. She could feel every vein as it went back and forth sending tiny surges of pleasure through her body which only increased as Mac began go to faster. As for Big Mac, this felt almost as good as a titty fuck. Almost. While Luna had a stellar ass, her breasts were such a beautiful sight and nothing could beat the look of ecstasy on her face when they pleasured each other.

But there was one thing that hot dogging had that tit fucking didn’t. As Big Mac leaned back he spread her ass cheeks a bit more so that he could better see her back door. With his cock covered in the nuru gel as well as having the same gel covering her plot hole, Mac was sure there was enough lubricant for their first time doing anal together. So carefully, after he had angled himself up a bit so that the tip was pressed against it, he slid forwards into her rear. A throaty groan of delight followed by several rapid breaths was sounded by his wife as half of his length slide into her with no resistance. Personally, he felt like he could have put the whole thing in there at once. The gel was the perfect lube for something like this. However, he didn’t dare risk causing his wife any true discomfort. So, for now, he held himself where he was so that he could savor the hot feeling of her tailhole while also giving Luna a chance to get used to it.

The Night Princess’s breath was slowly beginning to slow down. What her husband had done had taken her by surprise. They had talked about anal in the past and several times he had played with her other hole. Luna had even bought some anal beads in order for her to prepare for the day when he would finally take her anal virginity. Now, that day was today. As her thoughts began to clear, she began to realize just how different a cock was from the beads. For one thing, Big Mac’s cock was much bigger and much HOTTER. She had never felt anything like this inside of her. But the other thing that she realized was that the sensation felt a little…off. Luna couldn’t place what was wrong with it.

“Ahh,” sighed Luna as she felt Big Mac slide another quarter of his cock. She closed her eyes while placing the palms of her hands against the ground for support.

Soon, Big Mac had his cock all the way inside of her rear. He closed his eyes as he savored just how much tighter it was from her pussy. Just how much hotter it was. He now understood why Harvest liked fucking his sister’s ass. Slowly he opened his eyes to discover that Luna was slightly trembling creating a rush of concern.

“Luna,” he said gently while leaning down a bit. “Do ya want me ta pull out?”

Luna shook her head. “N-No I’m fine. Just takes a little while to get used to. Y-You can start moving.”

“Ya sure?”

“Y-Yes. Rut my ass the same way you do my pussy. Just start off slow before you let me have it.”

Mac gave a little nod before he pulled out a bit and then pushed forwards. Both let out a sigh of relief and perhaps pleasure as Mac continued to move back and forth slowly like his wife had asked. While doing this, Mac kept his eyes glue to her hole. He watched as its walls clamped around his member, squeezing it tighter than anything he had ever experienced before in his life. Soon he began to speed up a bit, moving fast enough so that he could hear his sac slapping against Luna’s pussy with each thrust.

Yet as Mac continued, he began to notice that this was becoming less satisfying with every thrust. It was hard for him to pin down what exactly was wrong. Maybe it was the fact the Luna’s voice didn’t have the same cry of passion it did when they had normal sex. Or the way her wings weren’t as stiff. Perhaps, it was the texture of her anal passageway which lacked the silky feeling that her pussy had. All in all, Mac wasn’t enjoying himself as much anymore.

So, Mac did the only thing he could think of: he pulled out.

“M-Mac,” stammered Luna. “What’s wrong?”

“Luna, ah don’t think anal’s our thing,” replied Mac with a sigh. “Ah know we’ve been talkin’ about doin’ it like this for years so ah thought we could try it today. But…ah don’t know, it just don’t feel right.”

Luna turned to look at him, biting her lower lip as she did. “I think…you're right. It was sort of nice, but it’s just not our thing.” She then sat up slowly, wincing a little as she did so, in order to give Mac a kiss on the lips. When she pulled back, she only moved back a little so that their lips were still touching slightly. “But I want you to know how much I appreciate this. All of this. It’s been wonderful so far.”

“Well there’s still more ta come if ya’re still interested.”

Luna’s sultry smile was all the permission he needed as he dived onto those lips of hers with enough force to cause her to land on her back. Before landing on the mattress, Luna had wrapped her arms around Mac so that she could keep him close as their tongue wrestled in each other’s mouth. With their bodies being pressed so closely together, the gel from Mac’s body began to smear onto Luna’s. Not that either one noticed or cared in the slightest as they were both loudly moaning.

As the kiss continued, Mac began to move slightly. Each time he did, Luna could feel her hardened nipples slide along his chest slightly creating small shocks of pleasure. It was then that Luna got an idea.

“Mac,” whispered Luna in a husky voice after pulling away from their kiss. “I think I should give you a nice present.” As Mac blinked in confusion, Luna’s horn glowed before she vanished resulting in the stallion landing face down on the mat. Luna didn’t go very far though as she reappeared next to the jar of gel. Looking behind him, he watched as Luna had already begun to apply it to her large breasts. His cock became much harder as he watched her kneading her breasts before him. Soon lying on his stomach became too painful and he had to flip onto his back, proudly displaying his massive stiff cock.

When she was done, Luna’s chest was dripping with gel as she walked over to her husband. She bent down and kissed the head of his member which was producing a nice supply of precum, humming in delight as she tasted its salty goodness. As Luna got down lower, she wrapped her cleavage around his thrusting stick while placing her hands on either side of her breasts so that she could press them together. Now with everything in place Luna began to move them up and down. As she did this, Luna tilted her head slightly so she could look at Big Mac while her lips wrapped around the head of his member. The moment their eyes locked, he moaned loudly thanks to the erotic sight before him. It was almost enough to cause him to shot his load into her mouth.

Luna was not ready to have that. She paused in mid stroke and brought her head down lower while doing her best to keep her breasts around his cock. Easier said than done as part of his shaft escaped from its soft pillow-like enclose. Still keeping her eyes locked onto his, however, Luna stuck out her tongue to lick the underbelly of his penis. Her eyes widened slightly as she did this because the gel not only had no scent to it but also no taste. This cleared away any problems they might have in the near future.

After licking his cock a few more times while listening to Mac moan louder each time, Luna repositioned her cleavage back around his cock. While doing this, she also brought her face back above the organ before continuing to give him a titty job.

Big Mac felt like he was in heaven. Everything before him looked so…perfect. Luna’s sexy mouth was open, her tongue tracing around the head of his cock. The sight just looked so erotic that if he had toes then they would never become uncurled. Then, there was the show with her breasts. Their softness mixed with Luna’s tongue action was an addiction he never wanted to lose. And those hardened nipples! So much so he wanted to reach out and feel them against his bare hand. Part of him wanted to throw his head back against the mattress, close his eyes, and get lost in these feelings. Instead, he just kept watching his sexy wife continued her ministrations.

Luna’s face grew warm as Mac continued to watch her bobbing her breasts up and down his cock. Deciding to switch it up a bit, she moved her hands closer to the bottom of breasts. Once they were in place she began to alternate them with one moving upwards while the other went down. She could tell by the twitching of Mac’s cock and the expression on his face that he was close to an orgasm but was doing his best to hold it in. But that wouldn’t do for Luna who added to the show by licking the nipple of the higher breast, circling around the areola before switching to the other one.

This was all Mac needed to push him over the edge, his hips doing an involuntary jerk. Quickly, Luna placed her head above his cock with her mouth open as she waited for her payload. Not surprising, she didn’t have to wait very long as a string of the white hot seed she loved shot from the head and into her waiting mouth, hitting the back of her throat. She closed her mouth to swallow it quickly before another shot was fired. When the third burst of cum was launched, her mouth was still closed so that the hot substance covered her lips and chin.

As Luna licked her lips, her hand reach down to touch Mac’s balls. They were still big, his seed still plentiful. While swirling his cum in her mouth, Luna began to think of how she wanted to proceed. Did she want to be on bottom giving up all control to Mac? Make him do all the work while she enjoyed herself? No, that wouldn’t do. She had lost control of her school and thus wanted, no needed, control here. And besides, it would be just like their first time on the beach.

Slowly, she crawled up so that their faces met while her hard nipples traced against his coat. Once there, she gave him a smile and a quick kiss before reaching behind her to grab his dick with her gel covered hand. Thanks to all the practice the two had together, Luna was able to effortlessly aim it into her special place while leaning back into it.

Mac let out a delighted sigh as his cock entered Luna’s cavern. It was…delightful. This was what her asshole had been missing. The wetness, the warmth, and the silky texture all melted together into one unbelievable experience that any stallion would gladly give up their life just for a moment of this heavenly feeling. Or, at least, that’s how Mac felt about it. Looking up at Luna, Big Mac could see just how much she was enjoying this as well. The signs were clear as day with those darkened cheeks and erect wings. The way her body shined thanks to the nuru gel made her already sexy figure seem even sleeker.

Meanwhile, Luna had her eyes closed as she savored the feeling of Mac’s cock inside of her. She threw her head back, pushing her breasts out a bit so that she could better savor the sensation of being full once again. Her eyelids trembled slightly as she felt the member twitch within her while Mac’s fingertips caressed her stomach. Luna then spread her legs as far as she could while she straightened herself out. Once done, she reached down to her lower lips and spread them for her husband to see.

“Look my love,” whispered Luna in a husky voice. “Do you see it? Do you see how my walls cling to your cock? I want you so bad right now. I want you to fill me up with all the seed that you had planned for my asshole. Will you do that for me, your Goddess?”

“Eeyup.”

Smiling, Luna let go of her pussy and placed her hands on her husband’s chest. She then began to move slowly, her large breasts jiggling slightly with each motion. The walls of her pussy clamped down as hard as they could around his member, massaging and attempting to milk it of its glorious seed. Something that Luna didn’t want to happen for a while. No, she wanted to enjoy this for as long as she could.

Below, Big Mac watched as Luna sped up slightly. Her breasts were now bouncing wildly as she thrusted her body up and down. Every coo, moan, and whine his goddess let out sent a shudder down his spine. These were the noises he loved to hear alongside her provocative talk. He knew for certain now that Luna was enjoying herself far more than before. And, being perfectly honest, so was he. He could feel their temperatures rising and could see sweat appear on her face as well as feeling it on her glorious flanks. He could now hear the smacking of their bodies being added to the symphony that was Luna’s crying of pleasure. Soon, Luna was pausing in mid-bounce so that she could rotate her hip for a moment or two before landing back his hips to give them both additional pleasure.

Soon, the stallion found he could no longer continue to lie there doing nothing. He wanted to once again hold on to his goddess’ fine ass. He longed to reach up and take hold of her breasts, to suck on those divine nipples until he drank her milk. Part of him even wanted to take control, flipping them over so that he was on top before bending her in half and rutting her senseless. But no, if Luna wanted to be in charge right now, he would let her.

Instead, Big Mac placed his rugged hands on her waist. He then brought them up her sides as far as he could while remaining on his back before moving his hands to the middle of her chest and tracing them down her stomach. They moved slowly as to savor the texture and the warmth of her body as Luna’s speed quickened. When Big Mac repeated his action for the second time, he attempted to lean up so that his hands could touch those glorious breasts of hers. However, Luna stopped him by placing a hand gently on his chest and ceasing in her thrusts.

“No my love,” she panted softly. “Just lie back and enjoy this. I am so close to cumming.” Luna then leaned down further so that her mouth could be placed next to his right ear. “And I know you are too. Soon, you can fill me with the hot seed that I love so much once again. Perhaps we will get lucky and I shall bare another foal thanks to you. Or perhaps not and we shall have to try again and again. Would you like that?” As she spoke in her seductive voice, Luna began to roll her hips in order to stimulate his cock.

Big Mac couldn’t form the words, only nodding yes while feeling Luna’s tongue as it swirled around his ear. Luna just smiled as she moved back into a sitting position to continue. Now her motions were long and powerful, slowly moving upwards until his cock was almost completely out of her and then slamming down. Each time she landed, the night princess shuttered and moaned in pure ecstasy.

Finally it happened. Big Mac could no longer take it nor could Luna. It was the red stallion to cum first, his sperm shooting into her like a hose. Luna’s eyes rolled into the back of her head as she felt her womb being filled with hot essence. Her hands flew towards her head to grab it while her pussy clamped onto Mac’s cock as she came to. Both their bodies withered due to the power of their orgasms causing Luna to land onto her husband’s chest.

For a while, the two laid there with Mac’s dick still inside Luna as it slowly softened. Slowly, they began to regain their strength but were content just to bask in the others presence not saying a word. The only times one of them moved was to wrap their arms around the other or to lightly kiss the other.

Sadly…

“Princess Luna!” shouted Death Ray after he suddenly teleported in. “You are needed…at…Academy…fuck.”

“Once again I would like to offer my most sincerest apologizes on behalf of the Department of Equestria Education,” said Rude Voice. Currently, she was standing in Luna’s office while the Princess of the Night sat behind her desk. Over in the corner, looking out a window, was Filthy Rich.

The investigation, or witch hunt as some might have called it, had ended a short while ago. After many interviews with the staff and students who all said the same things about Diamond Tiara as well as the countless files describing her poor conduct at the school, most of the ponies involved in the investigation were ready to call it quits. All except for Reasonable who seemed determined to find something, anything, that would get the school closed. Even when the ponies who were sent out looking for health and safety violations came back with nothing (or at least nothing beyond the smallest of fines), Reasonable refused to give up.

That was until Fishy Business returned from the police station. The results of the truth spells came back declaring Zecora innocent of drugging the students. That she had allowed herself to be raped in order to protect the other students. When Reasonable Voice first heard this, she went into what some might call a blind rage, yelling at everypony in the room while making blind accusations left and right. She screamed that the tests had to have been falsified, that they should drag the zebra to Canterlot so that Royal Guard could conduct the same tests. That ended when Filthy Rich, who had just read in the newspaper what was going on, arrived to set the record straight about his daughter. He told them all that he was well aware of the punishment system at this school and that he sent his daughter here to fix her dreadfully poor behavior. After hearing all of this, the rest of the department stood united by saying they had already wasted enough time and bits on this to Reasonable Voice. It was over.

“So what will happen next?” asked Luna as she leaned back into her chair.

“A formal apology will be made in front of the press within the next several days,” said Rude. “At that time we will report our findings so that they can be made public. Hopefully that will put many minds at ease. You will also be allowed to continue this school's operations as you normally would. As for Major Harvest, he has already been released from police custody and should be returning home as we speak.”

Luna raised an eyebrow. “And your boss?”

“The Chairmare’s actions are on the record which will be sent to Princess Celestia,” said Rude calmly. “If any immediate disciplinary action is needed, it will be handled by her. Still I have talked to other members within the Department and even if Princess Celestia forgives her, they will not. The current consensus is that she will have to pay a fine equal to the amount of bits we wasted in this investigation. Also, her actions will be brought up during a review session that will be scheduled at a later date. Should the Department feel it necessary, we will ask her to step down from her position as Chairmare.”

“Well that’s good at least,” said Luna as a smile crossed her face. “You know, if you're interested, I could use a mare like you at the Academy. I’m willing to offer a very nice salary along with benefits.”

Rude’s eyes widened in surprise while her mouth hung open for a moment. “I,” she began while trying to compose herself. “I, um, think that sound very generous. B-but I will have to refuse since I don’t believe in this school.”

Luna raised another eyebrow at this causing Rude to continue quickly. “Please, don’t take this the wrong way. The school itself is a wonderful place were so many different kinds of ponies and non-ponies live and learn together. T-The students seem to love it here and the school’s GPA rivals that of Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns. With all of that said, however, it’s the military discipline that I find hard to deal with. I…I just don’t agree with it.”

“I see,” said Luna. “That’s perfectly understandable.”

“Princess, please don’t be mad at-” began Rude but was cut off when Luna raised a hand to silence her.

“Rude, I completely understand and there is no need to fear retaliation from me for expressing your thoughts. You are entitled to your opinions as long as you respect others. Still, if you ever change your mind know that I’ll hire you on the spot.”

Rude smiled right before she bowed and thanked the princess before leaving. A few minutes later, the door opened to allow a slightly confused Diamond Tiara to enter. She had yet to be told that the investigation was over so when she saw Princess Luna sitting behind her desk, arms crossed over her stomach, the teenage mare could not hide her look of shock and annoyance. As she walked further into the room, she also noticed the other pony in the room.

“Daddy!” she cried out happily as she began to run to her father. She, however, did not get far as the glow from Luna’s magic surrounded her and lifted her into the air only to set her down in a chain that was placed in front of the princess’ desk. “Hey, what do you think you’re doing? You can’t do this to me! Let me go! Let me-”

“Diamond Tiara,” came the voice of Filthy Rich, his stern tone silencing her in mid-sentence. He was still staring out the window, not bothering to turn and face her.

“Daddy, she won’t-”

“I am very disappointed in you,” interrupted Filthy Rich. “Since the first day you arrived here, Princess Luna has kept me up to date with your progress. Or, to be more precious, your lack of progress. I had hoped that sooner or later you would be able to figure out why I sent you here. I thought that you could change your ways and end your selfish lifestyle, one that I am ultimately responsible for. But this…did you really think you could get away with it? Did you honestly believe by embarrassing both me and the princess in such a manner that I would welcome you home and things would go back to normal?

“I am done with you.”

The world seemed to stop for Diamond Tiara at the moment. She could not breath nor feel her heart. Tears began to form in her eyes without her realizing it. What was going on? Her father, her daddy loved her with all of his heart. He gave her everything she ever wanted. And now…

“D-Daddy I-” began Diamond, but was once again silenced. Only this time it was because of Luna’s magic that kept her from speaking.

“When I came here, I was ready to pull you out so that no more bits would be wasted,” continued Filthy Rich with a tremble in his voice. “However, Princess Luna was able to convince me otherwise. She believes that she can help you. So this will be your last chance. If you mess up one more time, if you fail one more test then you will be expelled. Should that happen, you will no longer be welcome at my house. I shall write you out of my will. You will be left with nothing but the clothing on your back. If you somehow manage to graduate, then you will be allowed to come home. But things will be different. I will no longer give you whatever you want nor will I allow you to stay there for free. You are going to work at Barnyard Bargains and earn my love and trust back.”

Filthy Rich closed his eyes for a moment. It had taken a lot out of him to say these things to somepony he still loved. However, he knew he had to do this despite how much it hurt inside. So he turned and walked out of the room without saying another word or even looking into the tear stained face of his daughter.

Once the door had closed, Luna’s magic vanished. In that instance, Diamond Tiara toppled onto the ground before she picked herself up and ran towards the door. There, she began to pound it with both her fists, more tears than ever before running down her face as she screamed for her father to come back. Begging him not to leave her.

He didn’t come back.

As for Luna, she sat there watching everything happen. A few times she thought about going to the filly so that she could console her. Yet, she did not move from her chair. It wasn’t out of a desire of cruelty or the like but instead, Luna knew that this had to be done. She had to leave her be and face the choices she herself made. Whatever she did next would be up to her.

Eventually, Diamond spun around to face Luna with a look of saddened rage. “YOU!” she screamed while pointing a finger at the princess. “THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!”

Luna let out a sigh. “So this is how it’s going to be. Alright, explain to me how it’s ‘my fault’.”

“You…You kept me here,” said Diamond Tiara as she stomped forwards. “You told that stinking bat to torture me, keeping me here and turning my daddy against me because you hate me! All because of that old-” Diamond Tiara was cut off as she felt Luna’s magic fill the room. Everything seemed like it was being washed in her aura and being strained by the force it exerted in every direction. It was hard for the filly to even comprehend it. When she looked up at the princess, it was like she was realizing the power an alicorn like her truly had.

And just how small she really was compared to her.

“I see you were smart enough not to finish that sentence,” said Luna calmly as her power seemed to vanish. “Good thing. If you had continued, then I would have thrown your sort flank out of this school. Something that nearly the entire school would have wanted. The only one here who wants you here is, indeed, me. But not for the reasons you think.”

“Then why?” whispered Diamond.

“Because I believe in second chances,” said Luna calmly. “No matter what mess we make with our own lives, there is a chance that it can be fixed. And with good friends by your sides, we can move forwards. Yet not every change can occur thanks to a magical rainbow. This is why you are here: to become a better you. Sadly, you have not taken advantage of this and are now at the end of your rope. If you fail now, you will fall down into a pit so deep that you will most likely never escape from.” Luna then let out a soft sigh. “Now I think you have some studying to do. If memory serves me right you have a test in two days. I expect at least a C.”

Head down, Diamond Tiara nodded as she quickly left the room.
