Under New Management

One Week Earlier

Princess Celestia was sitting in her palace office. She had just concluded her royal court session for the day and was going to be setting the sun shortly. Her magic in-box, linked with the one that she had given Mayor Mare, glowed for a moment. A paper dropped out of the bottom of it.

"Oh, It looks like Twilight has enacted her first bill as Princess," Celestia mused to herself. "Hmm, let's see... a call for the use of public funds... to the sum of..." she read through the boring legalese. "The repeal of law 1nc35t...?" Celestia scratched her head for a moment, confused as to what kind of law would need to be repealed for a simple bridge public works measure.

She trotted down into the bowels of Canterlot Castle, to the records archives. It was different from the magic archives, in the castle's east wing. Down here was where backups of the records were kept in Ponyville Town Hall. Celestia thought it was wise to have, in light of the staggering regularity of disasters befalling Equestria in recent years.

"1,N..." she looked through the old shelves. Ponyville wasn't nearly as old as Canterlot, but hundreds of years of legislature was still a lot of paperwork. Luckily she'd had Twilight down here in the past to organize it. The unicorn had practically begged for the opportunity. It had been ordered chronologically, and alphabetically by law serial number. For serial numbers that didn't started with a letter, she had to go pretty far back. "Ah, here we are... 1... N...C..." she worked her way through the stack, "35t..." Celestia paused for a second. The page she sought was easy to find now. The binding of the book had been broken to this page, and the corner had been dog-eared, just slightly.

Somepony had looked up this law before. And relatively recently.

"Law number 1nc35t," she read, "The Prohibition of Carnal Consanguineous Relations." Celestia looked at the page, and back at the copy of legislature that she'd just received. All that she was required to do now was update her copy to indicate that the law had been repealed, (or, as it was called in the olde days, withdrawn) by marking it with a 'W' prefix. The law that Princess Twilight had 'claimed' to have repealed was just beside it, one letter difference. One could accuse the new princess of having made a clerical error. But Celestia had two very convincing reasons to believe otherwise.

Firstly, she knew Twilight. She had known Twilight almost all her life. And while Celestia was wise enough to know that everypony makes mistakes; a pony that triple-checked her checklist, to make sure she didn't miss anything, when she double-checked her checklist, did not make mistakes of the clerical variety. Especially not on something as important as her first piece of legislature as a new princess.

Secondly, the law in her book seemed to have already been marked with a 'W'. But it was the modern, curved version, unlike the old double V style. And it was in very familiar hoofwriting.

"Alright, Twilight," Celestia said into the empty room, setting the book back on the shelf. "Alright... Let us see where this leads."

~~~~~

On the castle balcony, Princess Celestia stood beside her sister, Luna and lowered the sun. As she did, Luna brought out the moon, and painted the sky awash in twinkling stars.

"Beautiful, as always, sister," Celestia said.

"Thank you, Tia," Luna replied. "Even though I know more ponies appreciate it now, it still means the most to hear it from you." She nuzzled her neck and they stepped back inside the castle. They each sat at the table in the shared space of their royal residence suite. Luna took a sip of her coffee, relishing its effect. "Not electricity, medicine, or railroads. This is the greatest invention in the last millennium!" she said with a smile. "So, what news have we?" Luna asked, expecting the usual turn-over report for shift change.

"I actually have something very important to discuss with you concerning Twilight," Celestia said.

"Oh? Has she formed institutions for easily-distracted ponies, to teach them pay more attention?" Luna asked.

"What?"

"You know, concentration camps," Luna said

"Uh, no." Celestia answered. "I just received this today from Mayor Mare." She gave Luna the new law. "And this is the law it repeals." Celestia showed her the copy of the old law prohibiting incest in Ponyville. Luna looked back and forth between the two documents.

"Do you think she made an error?" Luna asked.

"I highly doubt it," Celestia said. She went on to explain the evidence she had discovered in the archives.

"So what do you suggest we do?" Luna asked.

"We will need to confront her about this. But we have to go about it very carefully. We can't know for certain that this isn't a mistake. We have to eliminate any shadow of a doubt first," Celestia said.

"Yes... I suppose," Luna said with resignation.

"But?" Celestia asked, sensing her hesitance.

"But I was wondering if we could... take advantage of the situation first?" she asked, putting her hoof on Tia's. Celestia smiled.

"I've already scheduled time for us this next weekend for a trip to Ponyville."

That Weekend

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna flew side-by-side, away from Canterlot, gliding gently downwards away from the mountain toward the town of Ponyville. Luna could not remember the last time she had gone flying with her sister like this. But teleporting such a long distance was strenuous, even for the two magical veterans. And they didn't want to create a fanfare with their arrival by train.

"She should be expecting us," Celestia said as they neared Twilight's castle. "I sent a letter to Spike to notify her." The sisters landed gracefully in front of the castle's main entrance on Prince Street. It was supposed to be Princess Street, but they didn't have enough room on the sign. So it just read Prince st instead.

Celestia knocked with her hoof and the door was opened.

"Prince Shining," Celestia greeted with a measure of surprise.

"Your Majesty!?" Shining greeted with much more surprise, and a bow. He opened the other door, revealing Luna. "Your Majesties." He bowed again.

"Prithee, where art Princess Twilight?" Luna asked.

"Uh, uh, she uh, had to run an errand to Town Hall! She'll be right back though," he said, taking their bags from them. The royal sisters stepped inside the castle and closed the door behind them.

"It is curious to see you here today," Luna said. "Are you also enjoying the holiday weekend?"

"Oh, yeah," Shining said, "Well, you know, what with how hard it is to get away, and being so far away in the Crystal Empire, hehe."

"How fares the Empire?" Celestia asked.

"It's... good," he said.

"And Cadenza?" Luna asked. "What progress have you and she made to sire a foal? Might we suggest favorable positions?" Shining gulped.

"Now Luna," Celestia chided with a wink, "You know how busy it can be for a Princess. I'm sure they are trying just as often as they can."

-

But for the magical properties of the hinges mounting them, did the doors remained attached to their frame as Twilight Sparkle kicked them in. She needed to warn her brother and contact the princesses before they-

"Greetings, Princess Sparkle," Luna said, standing in Twilight's Castle foyer.

"Hello Twilight," Celestia said, standing beside her younger sister. "We just arrived a few minutes ago. Your brother was kind enough to bid us entrance." Twilight could see Shining Armor standing behind them with their bags and the same 'oh shit' look on his face that Twilight herself was trying desperately to conceal.

"We realize we are early for our weekend vacation at your castle," Luna said, "But Tia was confident that it would not be of any concern."

"You received my letter about our impending arrival, yes?" Celestia asked.

She had sent Spike away with Rarity for the weekend to look for gems.

"Weekend Vacation!? Uh, I- of... course!" Twilight lied. "But... but I haven't had a chance to get Shining caught up on the itinerary. Would you mind filling him in on the details while I make the final preparations for your guest rooms?"

"That's fine," Celestia said, turning to Shining as Twilight bolted upstairs to her bedroom.

"Yeah, uh, Twily never got a chance to tell me about you two being here. I guess she was just so excited to see me," he said.

"I'm sure she was," Celestia murmured under her breath.

"But are you both really going to be here for the whole weekend?" he asked.

"Are we not allowed to take vacations?" Celestia asked.

"No. I mean yes! I mean, of course you're allowed!"

"Tia! We are tired from travel and anxious to see our accommodations!" Luna complained.

"Alright. Let's go see," Celestia said, leading them upstairs where Twilight had gone.

"But what about Canterlot?" Shining asked.

"Canterlot will be fine without us for a few days," Luna answered.

"And we can move the Sun and Moon from anywhere," Celestia added, reaching the door of the one guest room.

"Princess!" Twilight greeted, trying not to seem out-of-breath.

"Princess," Celestia parroted. Luna looked into the next room from the hallway, finding it empty.

"Just the one room?" Luna asked.

"Well you see- um, it's just that, the thing is-" Twilight stammered, "I uh, had already invited Shining over for the weekend, uh, as you can see." She motioned to her brother with her hoof.

"Yes. We can see that plainly," Luna said.

"Yes. Plainly," Twilight replied with an awkward smile. "But it's just that, I had already invited him, before I got your letter, and I didn't want to cancel his visit, since you know, it's so rare that he's able to get away from the Empire. And um, when I got your letter, I uh, didn't want to say no to that either, since it's so difficult for you two to get away too, I would imagine," she said, stalling.

"And the one guest room?" Luna asked again, growing impatient.

"Yes, the one room, well um, you know me! I'm not one for extravagances. I didn't want to spend a lot of public money on personal effects, so um," She smiled nervously, "One of you are welcome to my bed. Mi casa su casa!" The princesses stood there in silence for a moment.

"Oh Twilight," Celestia shook her head in disappointment, "that will not do at all." Twilight was mortified. She had failed. "We are your guests, but you are our honored host," she said.

"We applaud your frugality. But we could not possibly force you from your own bed," Luna said. "You are a princess after all. You are as much our peer as Princess Cadenza." Celestia walked into the room.

"This bed is wonderful," Celestia said, pressing her hoof into the plush covers. "And it is far more than spacious enough for two. I'm sure that Luna would not object to sharing it with me for a few nights, no?"

"Not at all, sister," Luna confirmed. "But what of Shining Armor?"

"Oh, I'm fine. I've slept in the cots in the Royal Guard," he said, bringing their bags into the room. "I could sleep anywhere flat, really," he pointed at the shag rug, jokingly.

"Preposterous!" Luna scoffed. "Twilight offered her bed to us. You are a Prince now, and you deserve no less." Celestia looked to Twilight.

"Certainly your bed is likewise large enough to accommodate another, yes?"

"Sure Twilie!" Shining said. "Hey, it'll be like when you were a little filly and you had a bad dream."

"Splendid. It will be a-" Luna paused for a moment, "oh how would the pink one put it... a sibling sleepover slumber party!"

Twilight just stood there, awestruck. Never before had she screwed up so successfully. They had been understanding, nay happy even, that she was a bedroom short. And not only that, but they all but commanded Shining to sleep with her in her bed.

"Thank you for accommodating us Twilight," Celestia said. "But if you don't mind, it has been a long trip from the capital and we'd like some time to unwind before dinner."

"......'kay." Twilight slowly backed out of the room, into the hallway with her brother as Celestia closed the door, affixing a Do Not Disturb sign on the handle. As soon as Celestia closed and locked the door, Luna sprawled out onto the massive bed.

"OHhh, we have put this off for far too long," Luna moaned. Celestia climbed onto the bed, taking her in her hooves and kissing her passionately. Luna pressed her lips into hers, parting them slightly as her tongue wrested with her sister's, breaking with a wet 'smack'. "These are not the lips you're looking for," she said with a smile. Luna took Celestia's horn in her hoof, and gave it a few light strokes before pushing her head down along her blue fur. Celestia turned her body around on top of her and shimmied downward to spread Luna's long, luscious legs.

Usually out of dress, and living in such close proximity, they were no stranger to the sight of each other's privates. But for Celestia, seeing Luna there, on her back with her legs in twain just for her, was a truly wonderful sight. Her marehood glistened in anticipation with a blue coloration mottled with blotches of black, like the rest of her supple butt. She hadn't much time to enjoy the sight however. Under her, Luna reached up with her hooves and pulled her sister's flank down to her face. Celestia squatted lower, letting her reach her nethers with her tongue. Celestia needed no further invitation, burying her face into her sister's wanton pussy.

"Mmnngh!" Luna moaned out and her sister began to run her tongue up and down her slit, flicking her little love button at the top and giving it little kisses. "Tia," Luna moaned, "we haven't much time!" Her blue magic levitated an item from her luggage bag. She quickly set to work strapping it to her elder sister's hips above her. "Take me now! Quickly!" Celestia had hoped that they would have taken a more leisurely pace and enjoyed themselves for the first time in a very long time. But her little sister was insistent in her need.

Celestia's mouth abandoned Luna's pussy and she climbed off of the bed. The large strap-on dildo bobbed beneath her as she turned back to Luna at the edge of the mattress. She brought the tip of it to her sister's blue pussy, getting it thoroughly wet before pushing it into her in a smooth motion.

"Oooh, Tia," Luna moaned as she felt her sister filling her foal hole. With a flick of magic, the dildo whirred to life, vibrating inside her. At the same time, it vibrated against Celestia's clit as she began to thrust into her little sister. "I love you, Tia."

"I love you too," Celestia replied, leaning down to kiss her tenderly.

"Harder," Luna whispered. Celestia braced herself on the bed and leveraged her weight to really start humping into her. "Hmf, mmf, yes!" she moaned, feeling herself getting closer to her climax.

With dinner set, Twilight trotted upstairs. From down the hall she could see that the Do Not Disturb sign was still hanging on the door. Twilight was reluctant to interrupt their nap, seeing how Princess Celestia had been working basically every day for over a millennium. Nopony was more deserving of some rest and relaxation.

But as she drew near, she could hear a rhythmic thumping noise emanating from inside, in symphony with the squeaking of the bed frame. Clearly one or both of them were awake. She rapped her hoof on the door. The noise inside ceased immediately.

"Aww, I was so close!" Luna's muffled voice said from within.

Twilight waited in silence for a moment. She could hear hooves approaching and the door handle turned from within. The door opened a barely a sliver. Just enough for Celestia to peer out. The sign on the handle glowed yellow for a moment as Celestia checked that it was indeed still there.

"Yes?" Celestia asked, with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Um, sorry for the intrusion. I came up to let you know that dinner was ready. I was just checking on the noise. What was Luna close to?"

"The noise!? Um, Luna was... jumping on the bed!" Celestia said. "She was close to touching the ceiling. Bad Luna! No more jumping on Twilight's guest bed!" Celestia yelled into the room.

"I shall have to be punished," Luna said.

"She and I will be coming soon," Celestia said, blushing at her own words, "By which I mean we'll be going down." She blushed harder. "That is to say, eating." She was beet red. "Dinner!"

"..."

"Go away!" Celestia barked and shut the door, audibly locking it. Twilight turned around and began to walk away. The bed started squeaking again.

Luna must really love jumping on beds, Twilight thought.

Celestia had turned up the vibration speed on her strap-on, all but pouncing on top of Luna. Her magic guided the faux stallionhood into her sister's pussy as she resumed their rut. Luna wrapped her legs around her, holding her closer. Depending on how dinner went, this might be the only chance they would have.

"Oh, Tia," Luna moaned into her sister's ear. "You make me feel so wonderful!"

"I love you, Luna."

"I love you too! I love you so Mmmnnnn!" Luna stiffed her cry as her body shook beneath Celestia.

Celestia's orgasm was close behind as she pressed her hips all the way forward, against Luna's, sharing the feeling of the vibration between them. Celestia felt herself tense and then release, feeling the electric tingling of her own climax as she ground against her. Celestia turned off the vibrations before it became over-stimulating. She held her little sister for a moment longer before pulling away.

"Stay with me," Luna whispered.

"Dinner is ready," Celestia said firmly, with a hint of regret. She lifted herself off, pulling the strap-on out of Luna. It pulled free and made a wet slap against Celestia's belly, smearing her with her sister's marecum. "You need to get cleaned, too," She said, motioning to Luna's sopping marehood.

"Will you not give me a tongue-bath?" Luna asked playfully.

"Later! We are already late." They each cleaned themselves and each other with haste, and headed out of the room.

The door upstairs flew open and the two sisters trotted downstairs. Shining froze, rising to his hooves, pinning himself against the table. Twilight barely had time to react, struggling to stand.

"Please, please, don't get up," Celestia said, making haste downstairs with Luna. Twilight and Shining eagerly sat back down. "It is we who should be honoring you. And our apologies for our tardiness. We came as fast as we could." Behind her, Luna grinned. It was not often Twilight saw her smile. But she was practically glowing. More so, neither had their ornamental shoes or helm of office. They were completely bare. It only stood to reason, Twilight figured. They were on vacation after all. Celestia looked at the room and the table.

"Everything looks wonderful! How ever did you manage all of this so quickly?" Luna asked.

"Oh, it's a-aah- a Ponyville Kingdom secret," Twilight said with a smile.

"Very well," Luna conceded, taking a seat beside her elder sister, putting her hoof on hers. "I suppose every kingdom must have its secrets." Celestia took some salad and a small sandwich from the platter onto her plate, waiting for the others to do so as well before she began to eat. She took small bites and chewed quietly with her mouth closed. Ever the image of regal poise.

"On the subject of your kingdom, Princess Twilight," Celestia began, "Luna and I have been curious as to what you have been accomplishing so far. And what sort of plans you might have for the future of Ponyville."

"Oh, nothing much," Twilight said, trying to keep the tense nervousness from her voice. "Just a little of this and a little of thaahahat!" Twilight shivered. "Pardon me," Twilight apologized. "I had a little tickle in my throat." She cut a glare at Shining Armor that said 'Stop it!'. His horn glowed as he gave her a coy smile back that said, 'Make me!'.

Twilight's horn glowed, levitating her fork. But she was a master at multitasking. A thud came from Shining's side of the table. Celestia and Luna each looked at him. He hit the surface of the table with his hoof.

"Wow, this sa-ha-alad sure is something!" he said, cracking his voice and forcing a smile. He hit the table again with his hoof for effect. "Mmm, mm! Yum."

"It's. Salad." Luna deadpanned.

"Yes it is." Shining said, pointing at her. "You are- correct about that!"

"Hm." Celestia gave a neutral sigh. "Well then, Twilight you seem to have settled into your role fairly comfortably." Twilight shifted in her seat very uncomfortably.

"Oh- yeah," Twilight breathed. "Well, I don't want to cause too many waves. I wasn't looking to take over and change everything. I let Mayor Mare work as she always has. I just sign things now instead of you, with the same sort of hooves-off approach you always counselled me with. It seems to have served Ponyville just fine so far."

"That is very wise of you," Celestia commended her.

"Really?" Twilight said. "That feels soo good!" she gasped. "Uh, to hear you say that, I mean!" It was plainly obvious To Celestia and Luna that Twilight and Shining were fooling around. They were doing a terrible job at being subtle. But, feeling playful herself, Luna's horn glowed blue, levitating her utensils. But also, she worked a tendril of magic gently up Celestia's leg. Slowly, not wanting to surprise her, she reached her marehood, teasing and playing with her. Celestia shifted in her seat a little.

"Of course there's nothing wrong with a little... hooves on work, when the situation calls for it," Luna said with a smirk, working her magic deeper into Celestia's pussy.

"Mmm, that's good Luna," Celestia said, trying to keep her tone even. "Good advice," she amended. "Certainly there are things that you want to take care of personally, no?" Celestia's horn glowed, levitating her own fork. Two could play at this game after all. She prodded Luna's pussy with her own magic before plunging a tendril into her taut, blue anus. Luna's magical grasp on her own wavered, causing it to clatter on the table.

"Oooh oh. Uh, clumsy me," Luna said. Both of them were beginning to perspire. Twilight decided that she would have to see to the temperature regulating enchantment on the castle for adjustment.

"I'm sure I will come up with a few measures of my own," Twilight said. Shining struggled to keep his concentration on his fork, opting to hold it with his hoof.

"Have you not already?" Luna asked. Twilight hesitated briefly. Celestia cut in.

"Forgive us for prying into the affairs of your kingdom, Twilight," she said. "I assure you that we trust you completely. It's just an academic curiosity."

"I understand," Twilight said.

"It's just that, we've asked Mayor Mare to forward her legislation since you took office for us to review," Celestia said.

"Oh?" Twilight said, feigning ignorance.

"Again, it's not that we don't trust you," Luna said. "We just want to-"

"...make sure that I don't do anything too extreme?" Twilight said, repeating Mayor Mare's words.

"Twilight," Celestia chided.

"No, it's okay," Twilight said. "After the Want-It Need-It incident, I realized that I could be a little- impulsive."

"Nggh!" Shining grunted and grabbed the edge of the table, gaining confused looks. "Ah, um, great salad. Great, great salad!" Celestia continued.

"Twilight, what Luna meant to say was-" Luna's horn glowed a little brighter, intent on making her sister's poise falter. Her magic tendril spun and vibrated. She could feel her sister's pussy pulse and clamp around it as she came. Celestia's eyes fluttered a tiny, almost imperceptible bit, but she continued speaking. "...was that we had an academic interest in seeing what the fresh eyes of new, young leadership could offer modern Equestria."

"And to check for clerical errors," Luna added.

"Oh." Twilight's only response.

"...Yes, well," Celestia hesitated, "on the subject, there was a particular bill that it seems you penned yourself-"

"The only one you penned," Luna added.

"Aaand we think you may have made an error that went unnoticed," Celestia said.

"Oh?" Twilight's only response. Now it was her turn to sweat.

"Well... it seems that the line item in the foot note called for the repeal of regulation 1nc35t. We inquired with Mayor Mare and she said that it was a restriction on masons working over moving water."

"But I did a little research," Luna said. "That regulation was 1nc34t. So 1nc35t is a typo."

"Oh. Silly me," Twilight said flatly, wearing a poker-face for the ages.

"Twilight," Celestia said, "I know you are not a pony prone to making mistakes like this. You always double check your work."

"Oh, ah well, uh, the thing is- I uh, I wrote that very late at night," Twilight said. "So late in fact, it was early! He he!" Twilight laughed nervously.

"And uh, I guess I missed that! I'll have to go in on Tuesday and repeal 1nc34t properly," Twilight said. Celestia's horn glowed as Luna began to speak.

"Twilight, you are not exactly filling us-" Luna felt Celestia's magic expand inside her pussy, stretching her. She coughed and cleared her throat. "Ahem, not exactly filling us with confidence. Your bill repealed another law entirely!"

"Oh?" Twilight's only response.

"Yes. You actually-" Celestia paused, "Well it's rather funny, actually. You repealed the prohibition on consanguineous carnal relations," Celestia said, with a small smile. She put her fork down as her horn faded along with Luna's. Even Twilight and Shining's magic ceased.

"Well, that's a mouthful," Twilight said, in a poor attempt a levity.

"Do you understand what you've done?" Luna asked.

"I repealed the wrong law, yes," Twilight answered.

"I think what she means is do you understand what the consequences of your actions are," Celestia said.

"Uhhh..."

"You've legalized incest in Ponyville, Princess Sparkle," Luna said.

"Oh." Twilight's only response.

"You should be more careful when writing legislature, Twilight," Celestia said. "If you repeal the wrong laws, anything could happen. It's a long, holiday weekend, until Tuesday. Who knows what could happen until then?"

"What do you intend to do?" Luna asked. "Will you redact the measure that you've written?"

"Well... the masons have already repaired the bridge, and have been paid. I can't undo that," Twilight said.

"Do you intend to write a new law to make incest illegal again, then?" Celestia asked, taking a bite of her sandwich. Twilight opened her mouth, in reflex, to give the answer she thought Celestia wanted to hear, and say 'yes' in appeasement. She glanced beside her, at her brother, Shining Armor. Everything she had done, she had done for him, for both of them. There was something inside Twilight. And it wasn't the cucumber. Something deep inside that she felt very strongly. Again, not the cucumber. It was a strength of her will, a belief that she had very strongly.

Something she was willing to fight for. To die for.

And even, dare she say, disagree with Celestia for.

"No." Twilight's only response.

"No?" Celestia and Luna replied in stereo.

"No," Twilight repeated. "It seems like a silly law."

"Silly?" Luna replied, "It was written almost three hundred years ago. Have you no respect for your founding ponies?"

"I do," Twilight retorted curtly. "But Equestria is a very different place than it was centuries ago. This, you understand?" she asked Luna. Luna sat back in her seat.

"It is," she replied reluctantly.

"Perhaps such an archaic law is not as applicable as it was in the days of yore," Twilight said. "Perhaps ponies today are capable of being more responsible with their personal liberties, without us trying to legislate morality over them."

"Perhaps you are wrong," Luna suggested.

"Perhaps I am!" Twilight said. "But I am willing to give my citizens the benefit of the doubt!" she spat with a confidence that she did not know she even had. "Incest!? Ha! What right is it of mine to prosecute a pony for whom they choose to love? No, I do not think so. Not here. Not now. Not in my kingdom!" She stood up, her every muscle fiber tense with conviction.

"NOT IN MY! KINGDOM!" Twilight shouted, angrily slamming her hoof on the solid crystal table, making the silverware rattle. The ensuing silence was utterly palpable. Shining Armor somehow turned a whiter shade of pale, his were eyes as wide as the dinner plates.

Twilight's heart was racing. She had just thrown down the gauntlet at her mentor and drew the line in the sand in the face of not one, but both of the royal sisters. But she didn't flinch. She narrowed her eyes and kept her jaw firm. Her heart was panicking, but her face said "fight me!"

Luna sat poised, ready for any outcome as she looked to Celestia, waiting for her cue, one way, or the other.

Celestia sat there in her seat and locked eyes with Twilight, towering over her on her hooves. Celestia was seeking deference. Twilight didn't yield, not even a little. Not by a long shot. Celestia could see the fire in her eyes. It told her everything she needed to know about the pony. It told her that if she fought Twilight on this, only one of them would be leaving this room alive. On any other day, Celestia would have been fairly confident about her odds. But she was not a mare who played with dice.

Celestia blinked and looked away, instead, at the sandwich platter. She picked up one of the small, triangular sandwiches a levitated it to her face, taking a moment to inspect it. The fresh bread was soft and sumptuous. The sandwich had fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, sliced cucumbers and daises with egg-free mayonnaise and a delightful honey Dijon dressing. Outside, the sun was shining low on the horizon, a deep red hue, poised to set. Birds were singing in the trees. Foals were laughing on the playground. She took a deep inhale, savoring the aroma of the sandwich, as though it were her last meal. She looked to the red light of the setting sun in the window. 'Today is a good day', Celestia decided.

Today was a good day to die.

"..."

"Good for you," Celestia said at last. She brought the sandwich to her mouth for a bite, chewing it with her mouth closed. Chewing quietly, politely, with all of the poise of a princess. She waited until she finished the sandwich, and did not speak with food in her mouth. "Good for you." She took the napkin from her place setting and unfolded it carefully, deliberately, as though it were the flag of Equestria. "You stand up for your principles. A good leader- a good ruler needs that." Celestia sat back in her seat, deliberately expressing her relaxation. "Mmm. This dinner was simply wonderful." She wiped her mouth with her napkin. "We will support your decision. Won't we, sister?"

"Yes. Of course," Luna said, relaxing herself.

Twilight visibly relaxed and sat back down in her seat. Shining finally exhaled. The clock on the wall chimed the hour.

"Forgive us," Celestia said. "Duty calls. If we may be excused?" Twilight waved them off with her hoof from her chair. Celestia stood and gave a polite curtsy. Luna joined her. Each of them quickly cleaning their moist seats with a quick spell.

"Your Highness," Luna said with a curtsy herself before excusing herself, exiting the castle with Celestia to set the sun and raise the moon. The heavy doors of the castle closed behind them. Outside, in front of Twilight's castle, Celestia turned to her sister.

"Luna?"

"Yeah?"

"Did we almost just die just now?"

"Yeah."

"Don't ever let me do that again."

"... 'Kay."

"..."

"I love you."

"I know."

Celestia gave her sister a chaste kiss on the cheek. They were in the public view after all. Even so, it didn't stop Luna from getting frisky with her magic while Celestia lowered the sun. Celestia was sure to return the favor as the moon seemed to struggle to rise. With their tasks complete, they each went back inside. Twilight was clearing the table with her brother.

"Ooh! A pickle!" Celestia said, levitating it from the table to herself before Twilight could stop her. "I didn't see this before, but I've been having the strangest craving for one."

"Uh-" Twilight tried to protest but it was too late. Celestia dipped it in the bowl of Shining's... 'salad dressing' and took a generous bite.

"Mmhh! Luna, you simply must try this!" Celestia said. She dipped the pickle in the dressing again, but bit the other end, holding it in her mouth for her sister to bite.

"But sister, what if our lips were to meet in the process? It would be like we are kissing!" Luna said. Celestia took the pickle from her mouth.

"So?" Celestia said. "It's not illegal for me to kiss my sister. Not here. Not now." She purposefully looked at Twilight in the eyes. "Not in Twilight's Kingdom." She put the pickle back in her mouth. Luna bit, chewed, and swallowed the other end until her lips met her sister's. The two princesses kissed, longer and deeper than could ever possibly be necessary to share a pickle before they separated.

"Now then," Luna breathed, "Today has been quite eventful. You will have to forgive us if we were to retire to our room early." Luna nodded quickly and headed upstairs to the bedroom. Celestia lingered behind, circling the table slowly, with a predatory stare toward the two of them the entire time. She sidled up along side the young siblings, leaning in closely to her protege with an almost disappointed expression.

"Come now, Twilight, do you take me for such a fool?" Celestia said with a knowing look. "Did you really expect us to believe it was a coincidence that your brother was here, so shortly after you passed that bill?" Twilight said nothing. Celestia didn't need her to. "I've known you nearly your entire life, Twilight." Celestia said. "I could always tell when you were lying because you were never any good at it. You would never make a clerical mistake like that. Not ever. Especially not on something as important as your first law in your kingdom." She glanced over at Shining Armor. He stood there, motionless, yet nervous. He was afraid.

"You're a married prince, Captain Shining Armor," Celestia said to him. "You have been honest with Cadance about your... other relationship. But know that she has likewise been honest with me." She looked at Twilight and back at him again. "For what Twilight has done here, manipulating the law as she has, it could be grounds for her to be stripped of her kingdom, title, wings and freedom. Thrown into a dungeon until she forgets what sunlight looks like." The fear in him vanished. Shining's nostrils flared and he grit his teeth. Every muscle in his body tensed. His eyes burned, screaming, 'You can bloody well try over my dead body!'

"Ah. There is it," Celestia said in her soft, maternal tone. She could see that he truly was ready to die for this mare. "You have the love of two princesses that you will need to protect and look after, Captain. I certainly hope that you are up to the task." She dipped her hoof into the bowl of his cum, bringing it to her mouth, licking it clean as she gave him a devious stare. "Mmmh. Two lucky princesses." Twilight and Shining stood and stared, aghast. "What? Do you believe that our visit to your kingdom after you passed such a bill was any more of a coincidence than his?" She grinned. "Every Kingdom has it's secrets. Enjoy yours, Princess Twilight." Princess Celestia took a quick curtsy. "Your Highness," Celestia said to Twilight as she excusing herself. She started to walk up the stairs, turning to Shining Armor. "I hope you enjoy your stay, Prince Armor..." she smiled, "... Luna and I certainly shall."

Celestia turned and walked upstairs to the bedroom hallway. She walked past Twilight's chamber and opened the door to the guest room. Princess Luna was sprawled across the bed in an exceptionally lewd pose. From the bed, she gave her older sister an impatient stare. Celestia returned with a disapproving glare of her own.

"Luna!" she scolded. "Shame on you! What if I were Twilight? Or if it were her brother opening the door for me, and they saw you in such a state!?" Luna's expression shifted to a sultry smirk. Her blue hoof drifted down along her belly to her nethers. She made no effort to hide the fact that she was now blatantly playing with herself.

"Would that arouse you, sister?" Luna teased. "Would you desire to see your prized pupil's expression to see me in such a way?" Celestia scoffed at her sister's joke. "Dost thou think we jest?" she asked, rubbing herself more vigorously. "Do you think that I would not invite her into the bed? What would her reaction be, I wonder."

Celestia gave a neutral snort.

"Are you not curious to her reaction? Are you sure that she would decline? As Cadance has told us of Applejack, Twilight's barn door swings both ways. Or is it that..." Luna smiled wider. "Do you fear more that she would accept my offer?"

"Enough!"

"And what of the Captain?" Luna asked. "Cadance has given him leave to extramarital engagements. I do not think she would object to sharing him with us as well." The corner of Celestia's mouth twitched an almost imperceptible amount. To any other pony, the movement would have been meaningless, if not invisible. But Luna knew her sister better than any other. "I've seen the way your eyes follow him," Luna said.

"You're imagining things," Celestia retorted.

"You can't deny what you've dreamed about," Luna said.

"How did you- You swore you wouldn't visit my dreams without my permission!"

"And I haven't," Luna said, honestly. "I don't need to. It's much more fun to let you admit it yourself like this." Celestia blushed.

"Does your lust know no boundaries?"

"A thousand years of chastity is a long time. We have much to make up for," Luna purred. She levitated a double ended dildo out from her bag by the bed and played with one end against her wet pussy. After getting it sufficiently wet, she was able to slip it inside with ease. She buried half of the length inside before it bottomed out inside her. The other end waggled and flopped around comically in the air. Luna played with it in her hoof, exaggerating the movement. "I've oft wondered if it feels as funny as it looks," she mused. Celestia rolled her eyes at her sister's foalish behavior.

"Let us be thankful then, that you are not a stallion," she said, climbing into the bed opposite her sister. Luna rolled over to her, wrapping her hooves around her and pulling her in for a passionate kiss.

"Hmm, I can hardly keep my hooves off of you already!" Luna said, kissing her again. "Were I a stallion, you would've had many many foals by now."

"Luna!" Celestia scoffed. "You can't be serious." She had no qualms about her incestuous relationship with her sister. And likewise, she held no judgement for Twilight's. But she had always drawn the line at inbreeding. It seemed her sister had no such inhibition. Luna rolled her onto her back and straddled her. The double-dong lodged in Luna's pussy flopped against her white fur. Luna took it in her hoof, aimed it at Celestia's face and stroked it.

"Oh yes!" Luna said with conviction. "I would breed you morning, noon and night!" Celestia scoffed.

"Perhaps if I were so gravid with foals, you would not be so infatuated with me," she sighed.

"'TIS A LIE!" Luna shouted. "I would rut you even as you carried our foals." Luna took one of the white pillows and fluffed it up, laying it across Celestia's abdomen. She ran her hooves over it, imagining it as if it were Celestia's pregnant belly. "Perhaps even more so!" The thought, along with the dildo still shifting about inside her, made her legs tremble. She could wait no longer.

Luna shifted down and away from Celestia, freeing her legs. Celestia lifted one of her legs up and away, giving her sister complete access to her spread marehood. For the two most magical creatures in the land, when it came to making love, they tried to use it as little as possible. With the exception, of course, of some surreptitious teasing at dinner. Celestia reached down with her hooves and spread her pussy while her sister rubbed the tip of the double-dong against it. Luna supported herself with a free hoof and manually aimed the loose end of the dildo with the other. With a coordinated shimmy, Luna guided it inside and they moved together. The rest of the length vanished into Celestia as their hips met.

For a moment they just held themselves there with their lower lips kissing. Each content to just enjoy the fullness of the shared phallus within them both. And more so, each enjoying the heat of the other against their most intimate of parts. Unlike the strap-on, this was a shared pleasure for both sisters. Neither were in a dominant nor submissive role. Much like being in the sixty-nine position. But even then, somepony was on top. Here, now, as they laid opposite each other with their scissored legs intertwined, and the shared toy concealed between them, it was a position of complete equality. It didn't hurt that they both enjoyed penetration over oral stimulation, either.

Luna pulled back just slightly. Not enough to separate them, but enough that Celestia could feel the pressure change a bit. It was a cue from the younger sibling, and all the communication the elder needed. Celestia opened her eyes and looked across her body, at her younger sister, mirroring her supine position. She met her eyes. They were filled with lust, yes, but also love. It was the love shared between to partners who knew each other better than anypony ever possibly could. Celestia tensed her muscles to move herself. They moved apart in near-perfect unison before moving back together, sharing a harmonized moan of pleasure.

Whether they could read each other's minds or body language was unclear, even to them. But what was evident was just how in-sync they really were. They moved in perfect rhythm. The dildo was nearly motionless between them. Neither mare pulled or pushed it any more than the other as their wet pussies slid along its veiny surface. Each time they advanced together, their lips kissed with a wet, satisfying smack. With each passing moment, their tempo and intensity increased. The tender embrace-turned dance evolved into a battle. Each time they came together faster, and harder. Each vying for position, nearly trying to shove the other off the bed in a sororal match of sapphic sumo wrestling.

The headboard began to bang against the wall again. Harder this time, as the royal sisters fucked with wild abandon.

"Oh, yes!" Luna cried out. "F-fuck me, Tia!" The passion in her vulgar words made Celestia's body tremble. She could feel the pressure in her tummy rising to a critical point. The muscles in her abdomen rippled and her pussy spasmed, gripping the dildo tighter as it struck her G-spot.

"Luna! Ah! I'm cumming!" Celestia cried out, sending a fine spray marecum across the narrow gap, showering her sister in her climax. Luna could feel her sister gripping the dildo firmer, thrusting more forcefully back into her. Combined with her sister's warm nectar wetting her fur, it drove her own arousal over the edge.

"Tia! I'm I- ah!" Luna's body shook as Celestia's pussy collided with her winking clit one last time, causing her to cum as well. Her orgasm was not as forceful as her older sister's display. But more than made up for it in volume as her pussy gushed in a thick torrent against her sister's pussy, soaking the bedspread. Both collapsed together with their clits alternatively winking against each other as their orgasms overtook them.

"I love you, Luna."

"I love you, too."

Their ears perked up as they both looked to the wall. Even as they fell still in their afterglow, the rhythmic slamming of a headboard could still be heard.

The noise was coming from the next bedroom.
