An earth shaking boom came from the organ as Applejack ran down the hall, trying to get to Fluttershy before it was too late. She’d been gone for too long as it had been, so to hear her scream had been the last straw.

Unfortunately, Applejack had been at a dead sprint at the time, and a hole appearing in front of her wasn’t exactly able to be avoided due to this. She tried to reach out for one of the edges as her stomach lurched, but it was far too late. Instead, she simply fell, her ass feeling like it might break as it hit the curved chute.

When she came out though, she definitely broke something. Not because it snapped, or she was in any sort of exquisite pain, but instead because of the sound of porcelain shattering.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself staring at Luna, who herself was blinking, more than confused. The princess didn’t look ready for a ghost hunt though, but instead was in only a large, lacy bra, and matching, tiny underwear.

The two mares stared at each other, before Luna began to laugh. Applejack blinked, the fact that she was upside down only now coming to her as she moved and fell onto her back. She still wasn’t sure what was going on, but at least she had found and amused a princess?

She looked at Luna, raised an eyebrow, and said with an ice cold tone, “This is a prank, isn’t it?”

Luna grinned, unaware of the doom in her subjects voice.

======+++++======

Twilight stomped her hooves into the ground as she appeared in the room with the organ. She had seen Applejack get taken away by the trap, just like the rest had probably been, and wasn’t going to allow this to go on for another moment. She cleared her throat, her wings spreading out as she shouted, “Ghost, prepare to be busted!”

The figure at the piano, covered in a heavy cloak, simply chuckled as they gestured to something. Twilight’s eyes glowed in response and saw… a person? In fact, they looked like they were possibly even from Canterlot High. Or, more correctly, one of the teachers.

But the spirit didn’t move.

The pianist gestured again to the spirit, but once more, he didn’t move. Twilight glanced behind herself, but there was still nothing, which made no sense. If this were the spirit and its wrangler, why did they not make a move?

The pony at the organ, obviously putting on a fake, gruff voice, yelled at the spirit, “You know your orders, so why do you-”

The spirit moved, one of his hands flicking upwards. Instead of sending Twilight up, ripping her clothes off, and using them to tie her up like he was ordered, Bartholomew instead did it to the one commanding him.

Which made every gear in Twilight’s head stop cold as Celestia hit the ground, her cloak no longer hiding the underwear she wore; almost identical to Luna’s, except that hers was yellow instead of black.

Celestia looked up, her mouth gagged as she blinked at her student. In all honesty, this was not how she expected this night to go. Like, at all.

”Hello there, Miss Sparkle. It’s a pleasure to meet the new princess, even under such odd circumstances.”

Twilight looked back at the piano, pushing the fact that Celestia was there out of her mind. The spirit was using the organ to speak now, still standing like a royal as he calmly stared at Twilight. She bit into her lip, wanting to blast him, just to be careful, but he could also provide some answers. “Who are you?”

”My name is Bartholomew. In my life, I was a friend of the princesses, having shown them the mirror you know all too well before Discord showed up. When your lord of chaos did come, his magic was a touch too much for me. However, despite me trying to get home before it took me, I was left here.”

“However, instead of disappearing, I appeared as a spirit, and thus was able to continue serving the two brats who set you up tonight in all things they might need, including, or especially, sexual needs.”

Twilight blinked a few times before she looked at Celestia and screamed, “What?”

Celestia simply tried to smile as best as she could while Bartholomew continued, though now she was sweating from what could be revealed about her. Or, worse, what could be done. ”Celestia says that you’re always taking things too seriously, and, that you and your friends are usually alone. So, instead of merely showing me to you and letting a normal switch of service be done, I was charged to haunt, and fuck, your friends, of which I have done so to two of them. Not unwillingly of course, as at best it was done under slight hypnosis, and they’re both quite happily resting.

Twilight frowned. If she were honest, after years of being Celestia’s student, and now a princess herself, she knew that her mentor could be a touch weird in how she gave ‘rewards’, but this seemed too far. “So you took Fluttershy’s virginity and kidnapped Rainbow Dash?”

”Hardly. I consider myself a gentleman after all. Admittedly, when your rainbow haired friend stripped down, I did lose myself for a bit and made her suck off a ‘pickle’, but I would never simply take a mare’s virginity. Some care and trust should be there first. Instead, I simply got to enjoy her chest as she enjoyed my hands. Nothing more.”

Twilight tilted her head. She could see Rainbow Dash doing it, but Fluttershy? “And let me guess, you put her under hypnosis too.”

The spirit chuckled as it shook his head. ”No. You simply should have invested in a watch sometime, as ten minutes was more than enough to gain her trust, especially with my aura.”

Twilight couldn’t help but blush at the accusation, as he was completely right. In fact, more than that, she didn’t know how long she’d been waiting for Rarity and Pinkie before they came back. Though, what could have…

She smacked herself as she remembered how Pinkie was. “You were in front of Pinkie when she said I should shoot her, weren’t you?”

He nodded, a smile on his face at this point.

“And you explained everything through her to Rarity, didn’t you?”

”Yep. And showed off to Pinkie that the spell Celestia taught you is as good as a kazoo. Doesn’t even actually damage things.”

Twilight hung her head in defeat, realizing how complete her mentor’s Nightmare Night trick had been. She then looked at Celestia, a fire in her eyes. She had been mislead, ill equipped, and been made to trick her friends, some of which got pleasantly molested apparently. Not that that was an excuse.

She curled her fingers into a fist as her horn began to flicker. Celestia’s eyes widened as she saw what her student was preparing, before she shut them tight. She deserved it, but she wasn’t going to watch.

Bartholomew let his smile come back as Twilight’s hand uncurled. Despite having gone against his princesses’ orders, he still wasn’t going to let her be hurt. His whole hope this night had been to avoid anypony being hurt.

A fact that Celestia was quite thankful for as Twilight’s magic cut through her bindings. The princess blushed brightly as she slowly got up, her body already stiff from the tight bindings. “Look, I’m really sorry, Twilight, but you’re always so seriou-”

Twilight held a hand up, her other hand pinching the bridge of her nose. “We can talk about this when I don’t have a headache. Just… what did you do to Applejack?”

Celestia paused, before she turned to Bartholomew. “Umm, actually, you hit the keys for that one. Where is she?”

”Check on Luna.”

Celestia and Twilight looked at each other, before Celestia’s horn glowed. A screen popped up in front of her, static filling it at first. “She was watching all of you, making sure we knew what was going on. She was also just trying to enjoy her peace-”

“Oh sweet Harmony, make me your bitch!”

“Tell me you’re sorry again, you lunar whore!”

All three of them stared at the screen, staring at Applejack as she continued to spank and violently finger Luna. Twilight glanced at Celestia’s chest, realizing what she was looking at before she turned back to Luna. She blinked one more time, before falling over.

Celestia closed the screen, standing back up as Bartholomew moved back to the piano. ”Whoops.”

Celestia nodded in agreement, before teleporting as fast as she could. She was used to being the dom for Luna, and really didn’t want to be overpowered by Applejack when she got out. She’d had her treats for the night already, and didn’t want a trick played back on her.

As for Barthlomew, he helped Twilight to bed before laying down himself. The night had been… interesting, and, while not the result he had hoped for, he suspected this wouldn’t be the last time that Applejack and Luna would see each other, meaning his goal was still met for his lonely, lunar princess.

Besides, it made him happy to know that his old charges, and his new ones, were able to get along so well.
