Drunk on You

Drunk on You

Soft and warm, the bed caught her from plummeting down. The world slammed to an abrupt halt. Though everything around her was still, her eyes yet whirled about the dark bedroom. A moment later they settled on the ceiling above, the dizzying blurs collapsed into a familiar shape; the moonlight spilling in from the window gave form to an enormous sun emblem embossed overhead.

Her thoughts weaved between a foggy haze and the moment at hoof. Despite the sticky numbness clinging on her skin and white noise gnawing at her already dulled mind, a question made itself heard amidst the confusion.

Why?

Then the smell of sweet grapes and faint burning followup filled her nostrils as she inhaled a deep breath. She closed her eyes for a bit longer than a blink with the scent mulling about in her head. Bottles, laughter, celebration all came to mind, and then a heavy weight shifted atop her chest, tugging her from her thoughts as it slowly pulled itself from a cold spot soaked in her fur. When she opened her eyes a shadowed figure blocked the sun overhead.

As this figure leaned closer, she opened her mouth. A tight grip wrapped around her neck, breathless words tried to slip free from her lips, but even they were silenced when her mouth was sealed. A pair of lips pressed to her own, and the question rang out again.

Why?

Memories thrust to the forefront of her mind. A full body mirror, her flowing mane of warm pink, gentle green, and soothing blue fluttered in a wind only she felt. A stunning purple dress—a perfect match for her amethyst eyes—hung from her shoulders and draped down her back with a plunging V accentuating her crane-like neck. She turned her head to see her companion next to her, Twilight Sparkle. A dark, pale blue ball gown garnished with stars only a shade darker than the fabric outlining them dotting the skirt hung from her shoulders. Celestia’s eyes trailed from the dress up to Twilight’s face when she noticed a hoof moving to cover her mouth as she shuddered—laughing.

“It looks great on you, Celestia. Even if it does show off your ‘hind quarters’ a bit too much,” she said as she pulled her hoof from her mouth.

“Thank you for your reassurance.” Celestia rolled her eyes. “You don’t think it’s too scant around the chest?” She looked back to the mirror, eyes focused at her reflection's waist. She rolled her lower lip under her teeth as her eyes flowed along the tight fabric clinging snugly along her barrel before it finally flourishing outwards around her haunches and hanging down nearly to the floor.

“It’s perfect. You look beautiful.” Twilight’s eyes ran slowly from Celestia’s haunches to her neck. “If anything, I’m worried some rogue stallion might try seducing our fair princess right under our noses,” she added with a sly smirk.

“Oh, stop.” Celestia rolled her eyes again as she let a small chuckle slip past her warm smile.

Twilight stepped next to her. “I’m serious.” Her tail brushed Celestia’s hind leg.

The taller mare’s face flashed red. “Don’t be such a tease.”

Celestia caught Twilight’s gaze trailing down her neck and pausing at her collar. The smaller alicorn bit her lower lip. “You might even make me jealous, Celestia.”

Celestia raised an eyebrow then swiftly leaned down at touched the tip of her horn to Twilight’s. A yellow spark shot up from the base to the tip before arcing down Twilight’s horn.

It hit Twilight’s skull, and she gasped. A tremor wracked her from her shoulders running to her hind legs as she stumbled back. She took a deep breath and shook her head, flicking off a few stray sparks still arcing around her horn. When she met Celestia’s gaze, her eyes glossed over looking miles away with mouth hanging barely agape. A sweet moan slipped past her hanging jaw.

“Twilight, I’m old enough to be your great grandmother’s great grandmother. I won’t be teased like a filly, and especially not by you.” She stood tall, chest puffed out with the dignified grace of an experienced ruler. “Do I make myself clear?”

Twilight snapped to attention, blinking rapidly. “Yes. Sorry, Celestia. I—uh…” she trailed off mid sentence as she stared at her former mentor’s neck once more. Her body shuddered again, and she rolled her bottom lip under her teeth once more. “No teasing.” She brought her eyes up to Celestia’s, a warm smile on her former mentor’s face.

The image of the mirror and Twilight faded, leaving her in the dark room once more. The previous shades of black now had definition in the moonlight. The pony above caught her eyes once more as she pressed the kiss deeper. A horn poked out from the top of the silhouette's head, and a soft, sweet moan escaping her lips as the assailant forced her tongue past Celestia’s lips. The soft shape of her cheeks and muzzle, despite the dark were somehow familiar.

Celestia leaned into the kiss and wrapped her forelegs around the pony, running her bare hooves along her lithe frame. The faint taste of wine mingled in her mouth as the pony fervently played with her tongue. Hot breath caressed Celestia’s muzzle flooding her nose with even more of an alcoholic scent. She squeezed the mare harder into her embrace, but something still bothered her.

The question rang out a third time.

Why?

Another moment in time pressed itself to the front of her mind. In an instant the room around her dissolved into blistering white light. Pristine marble pillars with marvelous polished stone walls, and an impeccable white-stone floor erupted from the searing illumination. Innumerable faceless ponies phased into existence, gathered at her sides like a flock of sheep around its shepherd.

She nodded to one speaking to her, though its words inaudible and voice melding with the dull roar of the crowded ballroom. A glass of wine held aloft in her magic pressed to her lips as Celestia tilted it back sipping silently.

A gasp rang out, pulling her from the meaningless banter. The crowd around her parted as Twilight stumbled past them on uneven legs. Celestia took a step forward, her mouth opening to voice a growing concern.

Twilight blinked slow and out of sync as her eyes met Celestia’s. A thick, sterile smell mixed with sweet hints of grapes wafted up Celestia’s nose.

Celestia tilted her head to the side and raised an eyebrow. “Twi—”

Silence stuck. The mare stumbled a few steps closer and lunged with the grace of a drunk cow, wrapping her forelegs around Celestia’s neck and burying her muzzle in her chest. Her eyes shifted from Twilight to the crowd, now silent and looking on like they were witnessing a trainwreck. Celestia swallowed a lump in her throat as she looked down at her former student. “Are you—”

Twilight"s head snapped up with half-closed eyes meeting Celestia’s gaze. The crowd gasped, and time slowed to a crawl. Celestia watched helplessly as the tip of Twilight’s horn caught the lip of the wine glass’ base. That sent the head forward, and it broke free from the encapsulating gold aura. her eyes widened as the yellow-green contents flew out from the mouth of her wine glass and right at her.

A splash, a shatter, and when Celestia opened her eyes from her wince, time was back to normal. Shivers ran down her back from new-found cold spot seeping into the fur on her chest, but they barely reached her tail by the time a warm thud smacked her right where the wine had landed.

Twilight giggled as she rubbed her cheek into the wine stain and smearing it right on her own face. Her care-free gaze burned into Celestia’s mind with a dopey grin plastered on the drunk mare’s face accompanying.

Celestia moved her hoof to Twilight’s shoulder and opened her mouth again, but before even a syllable was uttered, another sensation ran down her spine. Instead of a chill, it was an awkward tingle trickling its way all the way down to her hind hoof. Her face flushed red as she looked down.

Twilight’s tongue had lolled out of her mouth and now was being dragged up her neck where the wine had splashed.

As Celestia darted around at the faceless onlookers in a panic the crowd shifted away into the veil of white. The searing light of the ballroom then dimmed to nothing and, once more, she was back in her bedroom.

Pressing hooves to shoulders, she shoved the mare off her, tugging their lips apart. A quick glint off her lilac-like eyes and pale purple fur stood out in a stray band of moonlight leaking in through the window. "Why am I letting you do this, Twilight?” she finally asked.

Twilight giggled. “So kissing me back is letting now?” she asked with a molasses-like slur to her words, as if they stuck to her tongue as they flailed her mouth.

A roll of her eyes and Celestia groaned. “After what you just pulled downstairs, I should be furious.” she let out a small hmph, turning her gaze to a dark corner of the room.

Twilight slipped past Celestia’s loosening grip and dashed down into the warm crevasse of the older mare’s neck once more. “Don’t worry. Luna said she’d take care of everything after you whisked me away as if I was your bride.” She pressed her cheek into Celestia firmly, letting out a content sigh.

"That’s not what happened," she muttered to the aether. Despite Twilight cozying up on her neck, and distinctly wrong memory, the image of her sister answering an endless barrage of questions made Celestia shudder. Childish whining, eventual silent treatment, and a generally annoyed sister was certainly in her future if she didn’t put an end to this and return to her sister’s side, but a miffed Luna was definitely not the most concerning thing loitering about her thoughts. A mental flash of tomorrow’s newspaper headline “Princess Celestia’s Secret Affair with Newly Crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle Revealed!”

Her stomach twisted into knots at the mere thought. “I’m more concerned with what ponies will say about this,” she added while struggling to keep her stomach’s contents down.

Twilight giggled again, pulling herself up to meet Celestia’s eyes as they wandered to her own. “And is that stopping you from wanting to continue tonight?”

Celestia frowned. Unwittingly, her hoof snaked behind Twilight’s back and squeezed her close once more. Mentally she cursed that, but at this point the rumor mill was certainly burning the midnight oil churning out fantastical story after fantastical story about their "forbidden love." It was already far out of her hooves, and if she was already going to suffer the repercussions of a rumor, she might as well indulge.

She shook her head without so much as a word. The glint of the moonlight off Twilight’s teeth told her the mare had a grin on her face.

"Then tonight you’re all mine." A giddy inflection snuck its way into her slurred tone. Like a snake she slithered her way up Celestia’s neck pressing her forehead to the larger princess’.

Celestia narrowed her eyes and her horn flared with the light of the sun. In the blink of an eye, and with a wave of nausea, she now stared down at Twilight who was thoroughly pinned to the bed under Celestia’s larger size. The alicorn princess smirked down at her now helpless attacker while softly tracing her hoof along the wide-eyed mare’s cheek. "I believe I told you I won’t be teased, Twilight," she said in a low tone with her muzzle mere inches away from Twilight’s lips.

Twilight puffed out her cheeks in response. “That’s not fair.”

“All's fair in the bedroom and war. Besides, weren’t you the one who tackled me first?” Celestia craned her neck to stare down into Twilight’s eyes. Like a beam she didn’t relent in her faux stern gaze until Twilight squirmed under her. “I would say you had this coming, or do you mean to say you cannot take what you dish out, my dear student?” The tip of Celestia’s nose grazed Twilight’s ear upon the word student sending her prey shuddering with delight—judging by the pleased smile on her lips.

“I-I can take it,” Twilight replied weakly. Her eyes locked on Celestia’s. No more squirming or hint of teasing remained.

“Good, because it wouldn’t be fun otherwise.” Celestia rose from atop Twilight. She trailed her hoof from the younger mare’s cheek down her neck, tracing a line in her fur past her lithe barrel and between her legs. Twilight’s body tensed for but a moment when the tip of Celestia’s hoof slid between her folds before pressing the back against her sensitive slit.

“Princess,” she cooed.

Celestia kept her gaze fixed on Twilight’s moonlit face as she pressed the back of her head into the mattress, desperately chewing her lower lip. “While I don’t mind us doing this, Twilight, I am curious as to what brought this about so suddenly?” she asked as she softly kneaded the back of her hoof against the mare’s warming nethers.

Twilight peeked from the bottom of her eyes. “I’ve always wanted this, Celestia.” The faint tint of red on her cheeks made itself known in the pale light. “I think I found a bit of courage and took my chance to finally act on it.”

"Yes, I would say you found your courage at the bottom of a wine bottle." Celestia cracked a smile as a chuckle slipped out. “You’re such a silly girl.” She pressed her hoof firmly, juices oozing out onto her fur as she leaned in for a kiss on Twilight’s forehead just below her horn. “I would have gladly given you a chance, but you had to go and make such a scene in front of everypony,” she added as she pulled he lips away.

“I’m sorry,” Twilight muttered between heavy breaths.

Hot, humid air poured over Celestia’s neck, seeping into her fur and warming her skin. She let out a low moan, pressing her muzzle to Twilight’s cheek. “I can forgive you, Twilight,” she whispered.

She accented it with another firm press into Twilight’s nethers. The mare’s body tensed again, and Celestia continued by painstakingly sliding up Twilight’s slit with the same pressure until just the tip of her hoof pressed where Twilight’s clit hid. A spasm, and the sensitive nub poked out just a moment for Celestia to grind back down trailing her smooth, juice-soaked hoof along Twilight’s sensitive flesh. A sweet moan came from her lover’s mouth and urged her to continue.

So Celestia did. Slowly grinding her hoof against Twilight’s needy sex, listening contently to the delightful moans. The mare’s hind leg twitched sending a tremor through her body. Her mouth hung open with a glazed look in her eyes as she stared up at Celestia longingly. Celestia moved in and stole a kiss from those begging lips.

Tongues twisted and rolled together, teasing, tugging, and pushing one another around in a flurry of passion. Sweet cries of bliss muffled into Celestia’s mouth as Twilight wrapped a leg around her neck, pulling her closer still.

Celestia’s eyes pinched closed when a spark of pleasure shot through her body. A wayward moan slipped free from her throat into Twilight’s needy mouth. Between her own hind legs something was mimicking her movements on Twilight. A smooth, hard, rounded object pressed firmly and ground into her.

She broke the kiss. “T-Twilight?” She gasped, looking between her legs to see Twilight’s hind hoof pressed firmly to her own drooling lips. Glints of liquid in the moonlight trailed down her lover’s hind leg, and another jolt ran through her as her clit poked out to bask in the attention.

The drunk mare returned a cocky smirk. “Oh, don’t tell me you cannot take what you dish out, my dear teacher?” Twilight lift her head to meet Celestia’s lips once more, and pulled her back down.

Celestia smiled as she kissed Twilight once more. It didn’t take much for a familiar heat to boil in her loins. With each stroke of Twilight’s hoof, a jolt added more and more to the flame, so much so she thought it might explode at any moment.

“It’s been so long,” she muttered into Twilight’s mouth. She broke their kiss. “If we keep this up, I won’t last much longer.”

The delightful grinding disappeared from her aching slit. A thin trail of lubrication connected her pussy to Twilight’s hoof hanging uselessly just out of her reach. But before Celestia could protest, Twilight rolled onto her belly. “I’m close myself, but there’s still more I want to do.”

“Then what do you propose, my faithful student?” Celestia asked sweetly, but her sultry expression betrayed her teasing tone.

“Lay down and I’ll show you,” Twilight flashed her own teasing smirk.

Celestia lit her horn once more bathing the room in a soft, gentle yellow glow akin to a candle. Her dress skirt slid up around her barrel with a small cloud-like patch of yellow magic tugging it until it popped over her head. She shrugged it down her forelegs, and tossed it to the side where it joined Twilight’s long-abandoned gown. She then dropped to her side barely causing a small tremor in the mattress.

Twilight sat up, and guided Celestia onto her back before dipping down between her hind legs. Her eyes widened, jaw slack as she inhaled a thick scent. “I’ve dreamed about doing this for years,” she remarked softly.

Celestia looked down at her amazed student from down her barrel. “I can assure you, you aren’t dreaming right now.” A small chuckle slipped past her lips, and she shook her hips. “So don’t leave me waiting, Twilight.”

The smaller mare nodded, then brushed the tip of her muzzle against Celestia’s slick entrance. Twilight’s hot breath tickled her sensitive area, making Celestia’s haunches tighten in anticipation. Finally a single, torturously slow lap of the young princess’ tongue ran from the bottom of Celestia’s slit to the top, meeting her swollen nub as it poked out.

A satisfied coo slipped from Celestia’s mouth. She let her eyes drift closed focusing on the sensations racing through her body. Jolts of what felt like electricity surged through her each moment Twilight’s tongue traced her slit. The sensations raged outward, flowing up her spine and down her hind legs leaving a delightful numb sensation in her limbs.

. She sighed contently as her legs twitched on their own. The heat she had felt moments earlier burned anew inside her. It radiated out from her loins flooding her chest and even her head. Thoughts grew distant, even more than they already were with the alcohol-induced haze.The world around her was but a far-off memory. All that existed was her and Twilight sharing in this bliss.

Celestia bit her lower lip, a high-pitched moan forced its way out of her throat, and a new, stronger jolt raced through her entire body. Her eyes shot opened and she looked down at Twilight staring back at her with a pleased look in her eye. The mare’s muzzle was pressed firmly against her slit, and her tongue probed deep. Celestia felt her ravaging around, licking her sensitive walls like a hungry predator devouring its meal.

Her body tensed again, and another powerful jolt. Twilight focused her attention on Celestia’s clit, teasing her between winks by lapping at the swollen nub while it was inside.

Celestia threw her head back and whimpered. Twilight caught her clit after another wink, suckling steadily as her tongue continued to roll across the slick surface. Her leg kicked against her will at the air as a white haze descended over her mind. “Twilight!” she called out.

But as she neared her release, the sensation came to an abrupt stop. Her eyes shot opened again, silently pleading with Twilight to continue, but she only stared back with a limp tongue hanging out her mouth while panting like a dog. Her eyes told it all, selling it with a weak groan.

Celestia cracked a smile. “You poor dear.” She rolled onto her stomach before motioning for Twilight to lay next to her. “I’ll take over from here,” she added with a sweet voice.

Her hoof slid along Twilight’s opposite side once the younger mare complied. Hungry eyes locked on Celestia’s panting desperately in anticipation for what was to come. As Celestia traced down her back, Twilight tensed until her hoof came to Twilight’s cutie mark and stopped.

Her horn lit once more, Celestia standing up as the room filled with the soothing yellow. A golden, sparkling, shifting mass of concentrated magic pooled between her hind legs, settling in a vaguely phallic shape. She stepped over Twilight, bathing the mare’s hind end in the warm magical glow, and lowering herself down onto her lover until the golden aura pressed against her tail.

Wordless, Twilight flung her tail to the side then the golden mass pushed past her nether lips. Her mouth hung open and wide-eyes stared ahead in the mostly dark bedroom. In the corner of her eyes two hooves set down in front of her own. Her gaze shifted up to see the outline of a pleased smile on her mentor’s face followed by a firm thrust with the amorphous magical mass filling her confines.

A sharp gasp slipped free from both mares. Celestia’s neck craned up with her eyes drifting closed. A swift jolt surged through her body and down her forelegs from her own needy sex. As Twilight’s body clamped down on her magic, waves of warmth radiated up the shifting aura connecting them, and into throbbed inside her own slit.

She let out a low sigh when no more magic would push inside. Celestia’s magic cock filled every facet of Twilight’s pussy. Another wave of tingling pleased rippled into Celestia when Twilight clamped down around her once more.

“P-Princess,” she whined in a weak, lust-drenched tone.

When Celestia looked down, Twilight stared back, silently pleading for more. Her hips shook slightly as she crawled forward just a bit. Her eyes stayed locked on Celestia’s, and she shoved her hips back, impaling what little leeway she gave herself onto Celestia’s magic rod once more.

Another rippled tore through Celestia’s core, and her forelegs buckled momentarily. When she regained her composure, a big grin came across her face. “Don’t be so impatient, Twilight. It’s unbecoming of a princess.”

Celestia pulled back, dragging the magical, pulsating cock out of her smaller lover before thrusting back in with a hard shove. a slap of their hips meeting echoed through the room; she grit her teeth, and Twilight whimpered once more. The small cry stuck to her ears like honey to a greedy hoof, and the words that followed were just as sweet.

"Yes," Twilight muttered, breathless. A sharp gasp, and she repeated, "Yes!"

A sultry smile spread across Celestia’s lips with lidded gaze pointed down at the smaller mare just below the tip of her muzzle. She pulled the throbbing mass of magic back once more, and again, she slammed it back into Twilight until her cunt couldn’t contain anymore. Yet another whimper came from Twilight.

Celestia lifted her hoof to Twilight’s chin and guided her gaze upward. Staring down into Twilight’s glazed eyes, she bit her lower lip, slowly rolling it free from under her incisors. "That’s much better. Good little ponies get a reward."

Twilight barely moved, but gave a clear, soft nod. "Please, Celestia."

She pulled Twilight’s chin up while lowering her muzzle down. "Alright, enough teasing. You’ve done very well." Her lips met Twilight’s as soon as the final word made its way out. She held there, over her student, pushing her tongue into Twilight’s waiting mouth before giving another swift, heavy buck of her hips. A muffle thwap cracked through the air as their bodies slammed together, shoving Twilight forward. Their kiss broke, and Twilight toppled forward into the waiting mattress below.

Tingling warmth radiated up from Celestia’s loins and slowly pushing the looming regret over their ended kiss from her mind. A tight squeeze around her magical member spurred Celestia’s hips. Almost as if they had a mind of their own, she thrust again and again, slamming into Twilight’s small frame like a tidal wave. Each motion flooded her senses with unadulterated primal lust, until her mind was adrift in a hazy sea.

She locked eyes down at her lover. Twilight lay in a drooling mess. She stared distantly off to the side, her head limp against the bed, tongue lolled out as she muttered a simply, one word mantra.

The word "Celestia" reached the larger mare’s ears repeated ad nauseum. She let her eyes drift closed, inhaling deep. When she opened her eyes, a long, slow blink and low moan from Twilight mixed as Celestia slammed into her once more. A veritable feast for her senses. For Twilight, fantasy and reality had blended seamlessly—perfectly—and the look of pure bliss on face was the treat Celestia was rewarded with for making that dream come true.

Celestia dropped down, pressing her belly to Twilight’s back. A sinfully sweet jolt wriggled its way down her limbs as her magic filled Twilight’s confines. She ground her hips into Twilight’s, a wave of numbness washed over muddled with shots of pleasure racing through her core, and forcing a whimper from both mares.

She pulled back once more and slammed in again, drawing an intoxicating yelp from Twilight. The tip of her nose caressed Twilight’s ear before Celestia placed her teeth around the tip. Softly, she mulled it between her incisors, careful not to bite too hard, but to deliver just enough pain to heighten the pleasure she knew was racing through Twilight.

“Princess!” Twilight cried out with a sharp gasp.

Without opening her mouth, Celestia pulled back, dragging her teeth along the tip of Twilight’s ear until it finally slipped free from her clutches. She licked her lips. “Almost there?” she asked, looking down into Twilight’s face. Furrowed brow, mouth agape—she was close.

Celestia nodded. “It’s okay, Twilight,” she whispered into her lover’s ear. “I’m close as well. There’s no need to hold back.”

Twilight pinched her eyes closed and nodded.

Celestia lifted herself off Twilight just enough to hammer her magic cock deep into the smaller mare. The sound of flesh on flesh echoed in the dark room as Celestia repeatedly hilted herself inside Twilight’s cunt, until she finally halted. She pushed deep, and what felt like a spike of pure bliss tore through her core all the way to her brain. Her limbs went numb, but her legs locked in place. Jolts of what felt like electricity raged through her. “Twilight,” she cried out.

The room went dark. Her mind went blank once more, and the spell faded with her concentration. She collapsed on top of Twilight, the younger mare’s body twitching under her.

From the soft light of the moon, a glimpse of a smile spread across Twilight’s lips. Her heavy eye cracked open just slightly as deep breath filled her lungs, followed by another, until she finally slowed her racing heart.

Celestia filled her lungs too with the hot sticky air between them before she dropped onto her side next to Twilight. “That was amazing,” Celestia said in a low tone between them. She only received a small moan of approval from her lover before Twilight’s head plopped heavy onto the mattress.

She pushed her muzzle into Twilight’s neck, getting no further response. After a moment she allowed her own eyes to fall closed once more. “Between the alcohol and the exercise, I think I can forgive you for falling asleep on me. Just this once, however.” A small chuckle slipped past Celestia’s lips, and before long she drifted off into the sweet embrace of sleep to join her partner.

A loud crash shattered the serenity of an otherwise perfect sleep. Celestia’s eyes cracked opened to see the sun peeking over the horizon and beautiful orange light spilling in through the window of her room, painting in warm hues the sight of a purple mare sleeping soundly next to her completely undisturbed by the racket.

Voices bounced down the hallway. Celestia swivelled an ear to the door. Muffled shouts mixed with quieter indiscernible words seeped through the cracks of her door.

Celestia took a took deep the slightly chilled morning air before placing a soft kiss on Twilight’s head. She craned her neck to the door behind her and placing a pleasant smile on her face.

Not a moment later the shouting was outside her room. Through the door she heard her guards protest, but a bellowing voice that shook the heavy mahogany doors to her chambers demanded they step aside. The doors swung open, revealing two trembling stallions clad in golden armor on the other side with backs to the doorframe and eyes glued to opposite the wall Celestia’s chambers. A tall blue alicorn stood center with a blazing glare burning a hole right into Celestia herself. Luna’s mane, despite its liquid nature, had a few strands of translucent blue poking free with dark circles under her bloodshot eyes.

"Good morning, Luna. Thank you for raising the sun for me," Celestia said with a glowing smile spread across her face.

Luna fired a trembling hoof in her direction. "Oh, do not play coy with me, dear sister."

Celestia gasped ever so slightly. "Whatever do you mean, Luna?"

"Whatever happened to escorting Twilight to her chambers after that incident last night and returning to the ball? Did you think a little spilled wine and embarrassment was enough to excuse yourself for the rest of the evening?" Luna sucked a lungful of air in. Her eyes fell closed for a brief moment before popping opened, her fury still unquenched. "Do you have any idea of the hell I had to endure after you left?"

"And here I thought you wanted more royal responsibility." A smile spread across Celestia’s face.

"That is not what I meant by—" she took a small step forward when something caught her hoof. She glanced down at the offender, a pale blue piece of cloth. With a swift kick of her foreleg she sent the balled fabric sailing across the room. She honed her gaze back on her sister and opened her mouth once more, but before even a single syllable was uttered, Luna stopped herself. Her eyes fell back onto the blue fabric, now unfurled on the floor—a dress with stars embroidered into the skirt.

"Celestia, you didn’t." As if treading through a swamp Luna’s eyes slowly moved back to her sister, finding her still smirking. A small shuffle under the covers drew Luna’s gaze down slightly where a dark blue matted mess of mane with a purple horn poked free from the sheets.

Luna closed her eyes once more and inhaled a steady, deep breath as her whole body shook. "You left me at that party alone after the scene the both of you caused so you could, as the kids say, get some action?" she asked through firmly clenched teeth. The muscles in Luna’s neck stood out, visible even under her dark coat. She popped her eyes opened as she stood there, panting with a fiery gaze locked on her sister.

Celestia glanced down at Twilight still fast asleep with a slight furrow to her brow. "Well, look at it this way. At least there’s some validity to the rumors now, right?"

Luna screamed, but could not pull her teeth apart. "Yes, and that means a frustratingly wasted evening," she replied through her still clenched jaw. She spun around with her mane whirling behind and tucking neatly in the nape of her neck with tail sweeping behind. "I need to go, lest I say something I regret."

"Don’t be like that, Luna."

"You left me to clean up your mess! I believe I’m entitled to being upset!" Luna slammed a hoof forward to storm out of her sister’s chamber, but a yellow glow squeezed the shifting mass of her tail, tugging her back towards the bed.

"And after a thousand years I don't deserve some companionship?" Celestia raised a brow, the smirk on her face a distant memory. "You had the reins for one night. Now you know how I’ve felt for the last millennium."

Luna winced. She glanced over her shoulder to see her sister’s stare fixed on her, unflinching. Finally, she sighed. "Abandoning me doesn’t make it right."

"It doesn’t," Celestia nodded, "but I didn’t have much choice in the matter with Twilight throwing herself at me—literally."

"Turning her down wasn’t an option?" Luna raised an eyebrow herself.

"I did, and you see how well that ended up.” She motioned to the unconscious alicorn next to her just as Twilight placed a foreleg over Celestia. “But even if you didn’t intend to shoulder the evening yourself, I do appreciate it, Luna."

Luna took another deep breath, and sighed. "Just," she rolled her eyes, "don’t let it happen again." She took a step, and Celestia’s magic around her tail vanished.

“Thank you, Luna,” Celestia said softly.

Once she cleared the door, she shot a piercing glare back at her sister. “Don’t assume this means I’ve forgiven you.” She tilted her snout high. “For the next ball you might end up with rumors of young Flurry Heart being yours and Cadance’s love child to answer to.” With a snap of her head and a loud ‘humph’ hanging in the air, Luna stormed out of sight, leaving the two guards trembling in place to breathe a sigh of relief. Once nodded to Celestia before he closed the door with his magic.

As soon as the door shut, a strained groan came from under Celestia’s sheets. Twilight’s head rose, eyes fluttering, jaw slack, and her normally well-kept mane a tattered mess strewn about. She smacked her lips a few times before finally managing to keep her eyes opened, even if it was only halfway.

She groaned again and winced. "Spike, remind me never to drink again."

"I’ll let him know when I see him next," Celestia said in a soft, warm tone.

Twilight’s ears stood straight and her body went stiff. "P-Princess?"

"Yes?"

Twilight peeked with one eye. Once she saw Celestia she snapped straight up with both eyes wide opened. "Did the commotion wake you up as well?"

Celestia let out a small chuckle. "I’m sorry. It was Luna and I making that commotion. Did we wake you?" Celestia asked as she ran a hoof over Twilight’s mane, pushing the stray strands straight once more.

"N-no! Of course not. The sun’s up, I should be up too." Twilight let out an uneven laugh as she plastered a wide smirk across her face. As Celestia chuckled at Twilight’s expense, the smaller princess winced and swiftly brought her hoof to the side of her head.

"What even happened last—" Twilight cut herself off. Her eyes grew wide and face red. The ears once perked perfectly straight slowly fell flat against her head.

"What seems to be the matter, Twilight?" Celestia moved her face close to Twilight’s matching the blushing mare’s saucer-sized eyes. Twilight covered her mouth with the hoof from her forehead and backed up slightly, but Celestia pressed forward, placing her forehead against her former student’s.

"You don’t seem to have a fever," she said through a small smirk. "Maybe it’s something else that has you so warm?"

"W-we—" Twilight blurted out from behind her hoof.

Celestia pulled her head back and gave a small nod.

"I-I’m so sorry!" Twilight snapped the hoof from her mouth onto Celestia’s own on the bed next to her. "Last night was a disaster! I embarrassed you in front of all of Canterlot!" Twilight gasped. "And Luna! We left her there alone—"

"Twilight," Celestia silenced the other mare with that simple utterance. "Last night is in the past, and I’m sure there’s been countless rumors about us since you hit puberty."

Twilight’s head dropped slightly and she gave a small nod.

"Besides, what’s the worst they say? We’re together? That doesn’t sound so awful to me."

Again Twilight snapped straight. "N-not at all!"

Celestia smiled. "You don’t seem so convinced. And you were worried some rogue stallion would snatch my hoof." She placed a small peck on Twilight’s forehead lighting the young mare’s face ablaze once more. “I should have seen through your schemes, Ms. Sparkle.”

“I-I didn’t—” Twilight waved a frantic hoof.

Celestia pressed a hoof to Twilight's mouth. "I'm only teasing. Now, it's late and we should get a move on with our day."

Twilight nodded, and a sudden flash of pain stabbed through her brain. She winced. “This whole mess was all the alcohol’s fault!” she whined pressing a hoof to her forehead and rubbing softly.

Celestia nodded. "Indeed it was. So at future events, I do hope you abstain from it. Even if rumors happen to hold a kernel of truth, it’s not a good idea to flaunt in front of our subjects." She gave a small wink followed by a quick flash of her tongue from her lips as soon as Twilight peeked out from one of her eyes.

Her face lit up red, and she gave a small, soft nod.

The End
