Author's Note

This takes place in the Aurora Universe. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/339464/princess-aurora
Dash has Auroras magical abilities, is still fighting her depression and this is a TwiDash story. AGAIN!

I like the idea of ponies licking instead of kissing. If you don't like it, just pretend it says 'kiss' instead of 'lick'. It makes no difference.

And before anyone asks: YES. IT IS ONCE AGAIN ABOUT MY STUPID LIFE....

Chapter 1

Their anniversary was only a month away. It's the anniversary of being together for one whole year. Twilight and Dash were laying on their bed, preening each other's wings.

"Time sure flies by, huh?"

"Well I know a certain Pegasus that flies faster than time." Twilight said and gave Dash a quick lick on the cheek.

"Bleh!" They turned around to see Spike gagging. They giggled.

"Really Spike? It's almost an entire year and you're still not used to it?"

"Well you don't exactly have to do it right in front of me."

"You're just jealous because Rarity and you still aren't a thing." Dash teased.

"Am not!" His face burned up.

"You're forgetting that I can read you like a book."

Twilight smiled at Dashs statement.

"Don't forget who got you into reading."

"Yeah, like I'd ever forget my little bookworm."

"Little? I think you're talking about yourself, Dashie." Twi teased.

"Hey!"

"Hey she's right. Even I am taller than you." Spike joined in.

"Urgh! Guys! Two against one is not fair!"

Twilight wrapped her arms around the Pegasus and gave her another lick on the cheek.

"Relax, we were just teasing you."

"You're lucky you're cute."

"Urgh I'm outta here." He left the two lovebirds alone, who just smiled and went back to preening each other's wings.

And then tomorrow came.

It was rare that Dash was awake before Twilight. This time she woke up by something weird.
The bed felt so cold and.. soggy? She frowned. It was too wet for just sweating, and it wasn't even That hot. And her heat cycle just ended last week.

She rolled over, tossed and turned, trying to ignore the feeling.
She gave up and got up. She tried to be as silent as possible and checked the bed.

You've gotta be kidding me, she thought as she realized what it was. She quickly put away the sheets and put them into the laundry. She went back to get fresh sheets and put them on the bed.
She didn't want anyone to know about this. She's had phases like this randomly in her whole life. Sometimes it got worse, and then it was a long time where nothing happened.
But her pride was too strong to ever tell anyone. It was just way too embarrassing.

She went back to bed, snuggling up to Twilight.

The light crept through the curtains and burned into her eyes. She turned over, tried to hide under the sheets.
Groaning, she sat up, rubbing her eyes. She always hated these days where she woke up in the middle of the night, just because her bodily functions had issues from time to time. A good nights sleep was something she didn't know even existed at those times.

"Hey sleepyhead."

"Morning twi.. how long have you been awake?"

"A few hours. You slept like a rock, I was getting worried when you would wake up."

She wanted to respond to her marefriends teasing but remembered what happened last night.
First things first..

"I'm gonna take a shower.."

Twilight, being used to accompany her every time, followed her into the bathroom.

"..alone." She gave her a stern look, vanished behind the door and locked it.

Twilight was confused. Dash always loved it when she was showering or bathing with her. Dash hated water more than anything in the world, but she didn't mind getting wet so much when she was with Twilight.

"Are you sure?" Twilight called from outside.

"Yeah, I'll come down in a few."

Twilight was still confused but gave the Pegasus her privacy and went down.

In reality, Dash only didn't want Twilight with her because she had to try something. She needed to test how bad it currently was...

...and warm water was the worst trigger.

She filled the tub with hot water to the height of her ankles. She then stopped it and sat down. She always hated the feeling of water touching her skin. And especially at her private parts.

The situation made her a bit impatient, but to her luck, and misfortune, she didn't have to wait long until the first drops forced their way out of her body. She tried with all her strength to stop it. All she got was a sharp pain and lost the battle.

This is bad...

It just kept on flowing as she tried in vain to stop it. She bit her lip as anxiety filled her.
Two years without an accident and now, short before they had their anniversary, she just Had to get another bad phase. She hated herself for having to be a burden to her beloved marefriend.

She turned the water on from the shower to make it look like she had showered and let the water leave down the drain.

"I hope she's in the mood for pancakes."

"Oh you know her, she always is."

Dash came down the stairs.

"Hey guys."

"Heh, morning Dash." Spike tried not to laugh at how silly the Pegasus looked. She had tried to dry her wings with a towel. Now she looked worse than birds in mating season.

"Oh Dash! You know that the towel always ruffles your feathers." Twilight giggled.

Dash rolled her eyes.

Twilight came to her, walking gracefully like a cat around Dash.

"One more reason why you should let me take care of your wings." She winked at her.

"Fine. But after breakfast, I'm starving."

Twilight nodded. They went to the table and Spike brought plates with pancakes for each. Twilight wanted to cheer Dash up, still feeling like she did something wrong that made her lover want to shower alone. She levitated a bottle of non-alcoholic cider over to Dash and filled her glass.

Dash grinned.

"Whoa Twi, what's the occasion?"

She gratefully took it and took a nice long sip.

"I just want you to know how much I love my little Dashie."

Dash put the glass down. "Are you kidding? Like I could Ever forget that."

"Or me." Spike snapped.

Dash shrugged and Twilight giggled.

After they finished breakfast the lovebirds sat on the sofa, Twilight preening the beautiful wings of her marefriend.

Feather for feather.

Every single one.

Dash was impatient given her condition. It seemed like hours had passed and Twilight wasn't even halfway done with the first wing. She was becoming more and more antsy as time went on, and Twilight noticed.
Normally the Pegasus melted away when Twilight preened her wings. Sometimes she even got so relaxed that she fell asleep. Now she couldn't hold still for twenty seconds. Always twitched or moved a bit. The princess on the pea.

Around the time when Twilight was almost finished with the first wing, Dash jumped and pressed her hind legs together.

Why did you have to give me cider of all things when I'm like this?! She screamed in her mind and went to jump off the sofa, but the alicorn held her down.

"Dash, what's the matter with you today?" The Pegasus struggled to get free but soon realized that if she kept doing this she wouldn't make it in time.

"Let go! I gotta go!"

Twilight seemed to have gotten the message and let the Pegasus free. Dash stormed off the second she could.

Twilight was confused again. This never troubled her in the slightest. Not even when she drank a bottle of cider. And she often drank more than one or two. Something was off, and Twilight wanted to know what it was.

The next night was the same as the last one.

"Damnit..!" She whispered to herself as she sat up.

"Dash?"

"Twi? Why are you awake?"

"I could ask you the same thing." She said in a serious, yet questioning tone.

"Couldn't sleep." She lied.

"Rainbow, what's going on? You're acting really strange lately. Are you coming down with something?"

Dash didn't answer. She didn't want to.

"Rainbow, please, talk to me..." She crawled over to the Pegasus...

"Huh?" The alicorn stated when she noticed somethin odd.....

...and she put the pieces together.

"Dash..? You.."

The Pegasus stormed off before she could finish. She had locked herself in the bathroom again.

Twilight went to the door.

"Rainbow! Please come out!"

No answer.

"Rainbow, you know how much I hate it when you lock yourself in the bathroom when you're upset! Open the door!"

Then she heard a cabinet close...

"Rainbow!!! Don't you Dare!!! Open this door or I'll teleport inside!!!"

Still no reaction. Twilight had enough. Her horn glowed and she vanished, then appeared next to the Pegasus. She grabbed Dash in her magic, preventing her from cutting with a blade.

"Rainbow!! I told you No Cutting! Talk to me instead of on your skin!"

Dash sighed. Twilight grabbed the blade in her magic and levitated it back into the cabinet.

"Will you talk to me about what's been going on?" She asked with a soft voice.

Dash nodded, ears flat and eyes closed.

Twilight released her from the magical hold.

"So..?" She pushed.

"I..." The words died in her throat and she looked away.

"Rainbow please.. I can see that somethings been bugging you all day."

Dash said nothing.

"Would it be easier to write it down?"

Dash shook her head.

"I'll show you..."

She grabbed the sheets she'd stashed last night and gave them to the alicorn. Twilight took them in her magic in the air to get a full glance at it, and noticed what Dash had meant. She put them into the washer, she'd take care of that in the morning.

"Same happened again..." Said Dash lamely.

Twilight hugged her. Dash buried her head into the alicorns chest.

"Oh Rainbow.."

They stayed like that for a moment that felt like forever. Then they broke apart.

"Look.. it's really not a big deal. Some ponies still wet the bed at night. And I know how stressed you've been lately.."

Dash shook her head.

"There's more to it, isn't there?"

Dash looked away.

She didn't want to tell her. It was too hard to say something so embarrassing..

She looked at the shower and got an idea.

She turned the water on and let it fill the tub a bit like last time. Twilight gave her a confused glance.

"Come here, but don't get in. I'll... show you."

Twilight was a bit confused by all of this but stepped nearer.

Dash stopped the water and sat down, closing her eyes and ears flat.

"What are you doing?"

Dash shook her head. "You'll see.."

A few more seconds passed and Twilight saw how Dash completely tensed up and silently hissed in pain.
The Pegasus stood up, not daring to open her eyes and look at the alicorn.

Twilight saw what was happening, but she didn't understand entirely.

"Rainbow, why-"

"I can't."

"Can't what?"

Dash opened her eyes and looked Twilight in hers.

"Stop it..."

"Huh?"

"I can't.. can't stop.. it.."

Twilight started to understand.

"You mean, you can't.. control it?"

Dash shook her head.

"Since when? You never had problems like this."

"Happens randomly, really. It's been like that my entire life.."

"Rainbow... why'd you never tell anyone?"

Dash sighed. "It's not exactly cool, you know. And it's downright embarrassing... and, I guess, I was afraid of being made fun of because of it..." She hung her head.

"You know I would Never make fun of you! And neither would our friends."

"I know.. I just.. It didn't happen for some time so I never needed to bring it up..."

"And now that you do, you tried to hide it."

Dash nodded and looked down in shame.

"Look.. it's still night. Let's get you dry, fresh sheets and we talk about this in the morning."

Dash nodded and stepped out off the tub.

When they woke up, the sun was already shining. Twilight wanted to get it right out of the way.

"So, about this whole..thing?"

"Alright.. what do you want to know?"

"Well let's start with when this started?"

"When I was a filly, I had a crash and hurt my back. Ever since then I've been having these phases."

"Your back, huh? When you have these 'phases', do you feel different?"

"Well.. I, uh.. I can't feel it when I.. need to go."

"So you can't feel it, and can't control it?"

"Yeah?"

"So basically you're incontinent in those phases."

"Huh.."

"I wanna test something if you don't mind."

Dash was a bit unsure but she knew she could trust Twilight.

"Uh.. sure?"

"Come on, let's go to the bathroom."

"Alright, so, what did you wanna test?"

"I want to see how long you can hold it."

She magic-ed a stopwatch and held it in her magic.

"..why?"

"Better safe than sorry."

Dash shrugged.

"So, what'd you want me to do?"

"Get on the toilet."

Dash complied.

"And now?"

"We wait. And the second you notice something, you tell me."

"Uh..alright?"

Seconds passed.

More seconds passed.

A minute passed.

Another mi-

"Now!"

Twilight pressed the button.

She could see how Dash was straining.

She could also see how it got harder by the second...

...until...

..the first drops fell..

...Dash lost the fight again.

Twilight stopped the time.

"36 seconds..."
