Twilight's Key Party

Twilight Sparkle picked up her bags from a closet off the main hallway before continuing to the reading room. She skipped up the stairs to the back entrance while Fluttershy flew evenly behind, lightly weighed down by her saddlebags.

“This is going to be so much fun!” Twilight cheered. “I’ve read dozens of books about recreational sex, ranging from old novels to the latest theories. I can’t wait to try them out with you!”

Fluttershy closed her mouth tightly as Twilight threw open the wooden door to the reading room. The small tower room’s octagonal walls were decorated with sun and moon motifs, which were holdovers from the Two Sisters who originally designed it. The outermost walls had two arched stained glass windows of bright gold and deep azure, representing Princess Celestia and Princess Luna respectively. A large wooden bookcase stood inset on one wall next to sitting pillows, and opposite of it was a faux fireplace inlet which was a secret door that led to the castle library. A fainting couch occupied another inlet. Finally in the center was an empty golden book pedestal.

The ponies entered and Twilight shut the door behind them and placed her bags neatly at the foot of the couch.

“Are you really sure it’s okay to be here?” Fluttershy asked, putting her bags down near the shelves. “I know things were different when they were here a thousand years ago, but I thought this was Princess Celestia’s private reading room.”

“It sure was!” Twilight said excitedly. “Unlike the other rooms, this one is completely concealed from the rest of the castle. This was the room the Princess would come for her private time! And now we get to play here! Isn’t that exciting?”

“But, wouldn’t she have, um, used her bedroom for that?” Fluttershy questioned. After all, that’s where she went for her ‘private time’.

Twilight shook her head. “When Princess Celestia lived here, that fainting couch was used exclusively to treat mare hysteria.” She grinned mischievously, “and everypony knows how that was treated!”

“Yes,” Fluttershy nodded, mirroring Twilight’s enthusiasm, but then stopped and shook her head instead. “Actually no, I don’t know anything about mare hysteria, or how it was treated.”

Twilight’s smile faded slightly, but suddenly her face lit up. She plopped Fluttershy down onto the reading pillows and created a magical floating green board to give a lecture on mare hysteria, complete with accompanying animations.

A bright green Earth Pony appeared on the screen, watching a group of other ponies in emotional distress. “Over a thousand years ago, Hippocampa of Hors observed that mares sometimes exhibited symptoms ranging from fainting to nervous anxiety, and coined the term mare hysteria. Based on her research, mare hysteria was alleviated by the stimulation of mating with a stallion.” The board showed an example of a Unicorn stallion mounting a Unicorn mare, thrusting back and forth until both ponies smiled.

“For mares that didn’t find relief that way, new methods were found to synthesize the stimulation, such as the insertion of a phallus or manual stimulation with a hoof.” The board showed animations of a cylindrical phallus entering the back of a Unicorn and another Unicorn on their back with another pony’s hoof reaching onto their crotch.

“These were considered medical procedures, and were performed with the aid of a physician, and often done in private rooms in the home of the mare. To better facilitate the treatment, special fainting couches were used to maximize treatment efficacy and comfort.” The board cleared and a distressed Unicorn mare and professional Earth Pony were shown greeting each other and then walking to a fainting couch, where the Unicorn laid on her back on the couch and the Earth Pony stimulated her with their hoof until she smiled.

“Mare hysteria, and thus fainting couches, are now antiquated because physicians are no longer required to perform the procedures, which is done by what we now call masturbating or more colloquially, clopping.” A distressed Unicorn mare appeared on the screen again, but simply rolled over and stimulated herself with her own hoof until she smiled.

The board vanished as Twilight Sparkle finished her lecture. “So you see?” she yelled, waving her forelegs, “this is where Princess Celestia came to have her mare hysteria treatments!”

Fluttershy stood still in thought as she processed Twilight’s lecture. “Okay, I guess that makes sense,” she hesitated, imagining the ruler of Equestria perched on the couch getting her treatment from the royal physician. “But what about Princess Luna? Did she have her own private room and fainting couch?”

Twilight frowned. “Well, there are a few other secluded rooms in the basement, but Princess Luna was trapped on the moon for a thousand years, and fainting couches were only invented a few hundred years ago, so… no.”

“Oh.”

“But I’m sure she was well taken care of when she returned!” Twilight declared.

Fluttershy nodded in agreement and silence filled the room. Twilight Sparkle suddenly became nervous. At the last party, Pinkie Pie made the first move, but knowing how shy Fluttershy was, she knew she needed to make the first move if the party was going to be successful. She took a deep breath and started asking questions in hopes to get things in the mood.

“So, what’s your favorite sexual activity?” Twilight asked shamelessly, her violet eyes shining.

“Um, I…” Fluttershy stammered, "I like touching myself when I'm at home in my bed and nopony else is around." She saw Twilight frown. "It's more peaceful then," she explained.

"Do you use any sort of toys? There's a vibrator called the Jackalope that's popular."

Fluttershy shook her head. "Oh no, I'd never use a vibrator! It might scare the animals."

"Wait," Twilight interjected, confused. "I thought you said you did it when nopony else..." she stopped herself when she realized "nopony else" didn't technically exclude her animal friends. She then wondered if they actively helped with her private times. "How exactly do you do it?" she asked.

"I just lay on my back and use my hoof, like you showed on your board" Fluttershy said with subdued excitement. "Sometimes I lay on my front to add a bit of excitement. It depends on what mood I'm in."

Twilight bit her lip. Her favorite part of the last party was learning new techniques and trying them out, but Fluttershy’s responses weren’t inspiring or alluding to anything new. She opted for a different approach. “Alright, and do you prefer mares or stallions?”

“Well, I…” Fluttershy’s face contorted as she thought of what to say. "Hmm..."

"I really like stallions," Twilight continued, looking a little colt-crazy. "I love their thick bodies, square jaws, and hairy fetlocks. And the way they smell; that strong, masculine musk. And of course, the way you can tell when he likes what he sees." She waggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"I'm not sure if I'm into stallions," Fluttershy said with uncertainty.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with being into mares," Twilight back pedaled. "While I'm not specifically attracted to them, I can certainly appreciate their appeal."

“I don’t think I’m into mares either,” Fluttershy said timidly.

“What?” her friend exclaimed. “You don't like mares or stallions?”

"Well, I guess I'm more attracted to what's on the inside. It doesn't matter to me what gender they are, as long as they're kind and gentle and have a good heart, so I don't really have a preference."

Twilight now felt superficial, after she had gone on about stallions. She knew logically that there was nothing wrong with having a preference, but she somehow felt like she wasn't being fair to mares.

Fluttershy could tell her comment made Twilight distraught. She didn't mean to make her feel that way, so she thought of a way to make it up to her. The kind Pegasus stepped forward and nuzzled her head against the princess' neck. "I think you have a good heart, Twilight."

The alicorn got butterflies in her stomach from Fluttershy's touching compliment and unexpected caress. She smiled and then giggled. "I think you have a good heart too, Fluttershy."

The two stood cuddling for a moment longer before Fluttershy stepped back. "So what's your favorite sexual activity?" she asked kindly.

"Well, I like reading and pretending that I'm the protagonist in the story."

"That sounds like fun!" Fluttershy said enthusiastically. "I've read several romance novels where I did the same thing."

"Really?"

"Oh yes! Like I pretend to get with Mister Parsley from Prides and Pegasus! Or sometimes I pretend to be Rain Air from Rain Air."

Twilight's grin turned to an embarrassed grimace before she spoke. "Well, I certainly do like the classics, but I find, um, "modern writing" to be more compelling for my fantasies."

"Like what?"

"Well, I enjoy short stories about intimate relationships between mares and stallions, typically by independent authors."

Fluttershy scrunched her lips in thought. "Are you talking about clop fiction?" She asked.

Twilight's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. "Yes," she admitted sheepishly.

"Oh, I've heard of clop fiction, but I've never read any," Fluttershy pouted slightly and looked at the ground. "I don't know where to find any."

"There are magazines," Twilight offered, "they're usually in the back of the news stands. Some, like Frolicking Fillies, are all pictures, but ones like Mare Magazine publish mostly stories. Those are my favorites."

This piqued Fluttershy's interest. "I didn't think to check the news stands. I'd like to know more about the stories they publish, if you're okay with telling me."

"Well, there are stories of all kinds, but they usually follow a theme. Like there's stories about doing it for the first time, or fetishes, or inter-tribal relations, like a Unicorn getting with a Pegasus. My personal favorite is a subgenre called "Stud in the Mud", which features a high status female with a low status male."

"Stud in the Mud?" Fluttershy questioned. "But how could a pony have lower status than another? Are there princesses?"

"There doesn't need to be. They are usually situational, like the stallion gets hurt in the mountains, and the mare has to help, or the stallion is a student and is having trouble learning about the magic of love."

Twilight bit her lips. "Of course, there is natural crossover into the celebrity genre, featuring prominent names like Sapphire Shores, or any of the princesses. Princess Cadence is a common one, with her talent to make ponies fall in love, but I've seen Princess Celestia and Princess Luna too." She hesitated, "and..."

Fluttershy's eyes opened wide. "And Princess Twilight Sparkle?" She guessed.

The princess closed her eyes and nodded. "Yes, I found it today before the party. I didn't get a chance to read it though. Can you believe there are clopfics out there about me?"

Fluttershy shook her head. She had no idea why anypony would make a clopfic about her friend. But there didn't seem to be any harm in it. "Do...do you know what the story was about?"

"I skimmed it," Twilight said, trotting over to her bags. The latest copy of Mares Gone Wild appeared with a glow, and flipped to the page. "I think it's about some stallion guard who falls for me." She read a few sentences. "Really hard."

Fluttershy chuckled. The thought of a stallion guard trying to woo Princess Twilight was ridiculous, but it also sounded fun. "Would you like to read it to me?" She asked, abruptly. She then looked at the ground. "I mean, you like reading stories where you pretend you're the main character, and this story seems perfect. Maybe I can pretend to be the stallion?" Fluttershy looked up to see Twilight looking back at her, mouth agape with surprise. "Oh, maybe it's a bad idea..."

"No, that's a great idea!" Twilight said with encouragement. "But I'm not sure if you'll like it. It's much more explicit than Rain Air."

"I like explicit," Fluttershy said, "I think it's better when I know exactly what's going on."

"Alright then!" Twilight smiled, walked to the corner and laid on a pillow, tucking her legs up under her, with the magazine suspended in the air in front of her.

Fluttershy curled up and leaned her head on Twilight's shoulder so she could read along.

"One Guard's Tale, by Anne Drew"

"That's an odd name," Fluttershy commented. "Anne Drew?"

Twilight shrugged. "It's just a pen name. Most clopfic writers pick names that sound nice, but don't really have a meaning."

"That’s so strange!" Fluttershy said in awe.

Twilight began to read aloud. "I never thought it would happen to an ordinary pony like me. My legs were shaking when I knocked on the door of the Golden Oak Library in Ponyville. Though I was in the best shape of my life, I was concerned about the princess’ reaction to my physical appearance. My blue coat and yellow mane was atypical of guards, and I could neither fly nor use magic as I am an Earth Pony.

Princess Twilight Sparkle answered the door and looked me over. Her purple and pink mane glistened in the sun, and her lavender coat shined as much as the crown upon her head. She greeted me warmly and told me where to stand. I noticed I was the only guard on duty; she explained she prefered only one guard at a time.

I was just getting settled when I remembered I had a library book due today. I asked if I could return it the next day, and she said “I can give you an extension, but it’s going to cost you.”"

Twilight rolled her eyes. "It doesn’t cost anything to get an extension! Plus, I don't even have guards!" She sighed. "I guess it's as good of a McGuffin as any."

"When I asked how much it would cost, the princess turned sharply away, brushing my face with her soft, luxurious tail. "I'm sure you can do something to make up for your mistake." She lifted her tail and gave me the one-eyed wink."

"Um," Fluttershy began, "what is a one-eyed wink? Aren't all winks with one eye?"

Twilight shook her head. "It's slang for the contractions of the clitorus and labia. It’s something we do when we get sexually aroused."

"Oh... OH!" Fluttershy suddenly understood the euphemism for clitoral winking, unintentionally causing herself to wink. "This is explicit!"

Twilight smiled wryly and continued. "I soon learned exactly what sort of “payment” the princess wanted. She started asking me questions. “What’s your name?” “Where are you from?” “What was the name of the book?”

Then she giggled and asked the question that all stallions fear. “Do you think I’m attractive?” I froze, knowing already why she asked that question.

In military school, other students made fun of my over-sized member. “Two Tailed Terry” they’d call me. I’d done my best to hide myself in my armor, but the uniform isn’t made to hide in. To make matters worse, the answer to the question was an overwhelming “yes!” Though she was only a few years my senior, I was taken by her mastery of magic and ease of managing the responsibilities of the nation. Perhaps it was Alicorn magic, or maybe it was during her estrus cycle, or maybe a combination of things, but it was very obvious how attractive I thought she was.”

Twilight smiled, imagining the pony guard standing before her. “I always thought it was funny how a stallion’s package was all out there. It does make it easier to know when he’s interested though.”

Fluttershy nodded in agreement. She hated the idea of anypony knowing when she was aroused, but as a Pegasus, her wings tended to extend when she was in the mood. Fortunately, she could usually cover it by flying, but it was harder when there wasn’t an excuse to leave the ground. She casually stretched her wing over Twilight’s back and listened to more.

“Princess Twilight Sparkle laughed at my embarrassment and explained she gets that a lot. As the youngest princess, she gets a lot of attention from the college stallions, but it’s never bothered her: she takes it in stride, and believes everypony is equal; very befitting of a princess.

Then she asked the big question. “Can I take care of that for you?” I was confused at first. I thought she meant the book, but she explained. “I know how distracting it is to guard the most beautiful Princess in Equestria.””

“I would never say that!” Twilight objected. “Besides, Princess Cadence is far more attractive!”

“No, you wouldn’t say anything like that,” Fluttershy concurred, but she did agree that Twilight Sparkle was the most attractive of the Princesses.

“My mind was racing. Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Twilight Sparkle had asked me, a lowly guard, if she could take care of my stallion needs. When I asked what she meant, she assured me it was a purely professional offer with no strings attached. She preferred her guard to be at full attention during his shift.

Of course I said yes! Who wouldn’t accept an offer like that? I nearly screamed in agreement, but Princess Twilight Sparkle calmly told me to put my front hooves on the wall. Then she walked over and took my pulsing erect cock into her mouth. It was so amazing, I had to bite my hoof to keep my cool. I looked down at the Alicorn and watched her horn bob up and down in time to the pleasure I felt. I almost lost it then and there, but then she stopped.”

Fluttershy shifted with excitement. She hadn’t heard a story like this ever before, and it moved her in ways she wasn’t expecting. She felt her nethers moisten with delicious anticipation.

Twilight Sparkle could sense her friend’s arousal, which, in turn, aroused her. She shifted closer, extending her own wing over the yellow Pegasus’s neck, and caressed her gently as she read on.

““Mmm…” she moaned. “I know exactly what position I’d like you to fill.” The princess threw me backward, but caught me with her magic and laid me down on some pillows. I stared in stunned silence as she stood over me, eyeing my stallionhood. “Are you ready to give me your “payment?”” she asked.

I gulped. I’d been with other mares before, but never with a princess. I was worried about living up to her expectations, but, as it turned out, I was worried over nothing.

I nodded, and she came down on me, her royal pussy taking over my world. I thought I would blow my load, but she moved, slowly, enjoying every inch of my cock. She threw her mane back in pleasure, yet her cute bangs seemed to stay perfectly in place. She moved faster and faster, and each time I thought I would explode, she’d back off, like she knew, and wanted more.

I don’t know how long she rode me like that. It felt like forever, but it couldn’t have been more than an hour. Eventually, she gave in to her own desire and pressed on when I was right at the edge.

I flew passed the point of no return, doing my best to keep up with her. Luckily my stamina lasted long enough to get her where she wanted to go, and we came together like two elements of harmony.”

Twilight laughed. “Did he just compare an orgasm to the Elements of Harmony?”

Fluttershy laughed too. “I think he did.”

“It was amazing and I felt a calm come over me. Princess Twilight Sparkle dismounted and told me to stand guard at the door while she cleaned up. I felt renewed and gladly took my post.

She didn’t mention a word of it until the end of my shift when she called me over to speak in private. “Don’t forget to return your book,” she reminded me. “I’ll accept your payment again even after it’s returned.” I nearly skipped out of there when she called out to me. “Oh, and if you ever need help “concentrating,” any of my other friends would be glad to help you out,” she said with a wink.

I love my job!”

“Well that was a fun little story!” Twilight said, closing the magazine. “He clearly researched me, but I don’t think he got my voice at all. He probably hasn’t even met me!”

“I agree. You would never do that with a pony you never met before, especially not a guard.”

“Exactly! I’d only do that with my best friends!” Twilight smiled slyly down at Fluttershy, whose big eyes shimmered back. “So, do you want to pretend to be the guard while I accept “payment” from you?”

Fluttershy's heart was already racing from the story, and she anxiously anticipated the offer. At the last party, she'd done some new things with Rarity in the name of friendship, and she hoped to do so again with her new partner tonight. “Yes, I would like that!” she said.

Twilight Sparkle stood up tall and did her best to be royal. "Well, my loyal subject Fluttershy," the Alicorn announced extravagantly. "I'm happy that you have been charged with protecting me."

Fluttershy jumped to her feet and bowed low like she used to for Princess Celestia, back before she knew her better. "Oh thank you, Princess Twilight Sparkle!" she said playfully, getting into character. "I hope you don't mind that I have an overdue library book."

"An overdue library book? Unacceptable! You must make payment at once!" Though she felt silly, she did her best to look stern.

Fluttershy smiled softly. "Oh, it's okay," she said calmly, "I'll make it up to you. Maybe there's something I can do for you?"

Twilight tightened her lips like she was weighing her decision, but in fact she had no idea what to do. All the activities in the story were stallion-oriented and neither of them were equipped to play like that.

But then Twilight remembered she had brought something just for this. "Very well," she said to Fluttershy's offer. "Let me just get something from my bag."

She took two steps toward it while pulling out her toy. It was a violet harness that held a lavender dildo. She had been inspired by Pinkie Pie at the last party, and so found one that matched her coat. This one was shaped to fit inside her so she could feel what was happening all the way to the tip.

With a splash of lube, she stepped into the harness and inserted the smaller end into her already aroused pussy. It felt good going in, and even better when she tightened the straps.

She looked up to see a wide-eyed Fluttershy smiling behind pursed lips. She wiggled excitedly, waiting for Twilight Sparkle's command.

Twilight reared back onto her hind legs, flapping her wings to balance. "I don't think I need to tell you what to do," she said, trying to sound severe, and pointing to her crotch, which was now at head level.

Fluttershy took the hint and pounced on the cock like Angel Bunny on a carrot, but then moved it up and down with her hoof, grinding it into the princess.

The feeling of penetration coursed through the Alicorn. The physical sensation was limited, but her enjoyment came from the powerful emotions of having her friend bow before her like this.

"Use your mouth," Twilight commanded.

"Okay," Fluttershy said, readjusting to a sitting position. She loved sharing this fantasy with her friend. She'd thoroughly enjoyed her last taste of a mare, and she was thrilled to get another.

She bowed her head forward over Twilight's member, taking it into her mouth. Her tongue sensed the artificial texture, but she overrode the sensation with the thought that it was actually an extension of Twilight. Her nose filled with the supple scent of marehood as her partner's excitement turned into wetness. She surreptitiously moved her hoof to between her own legs and started touching herself in a most familiar way.

"Down!" Twilight ordered, imitating the story, and pushed Fluttershy further into her crotch. She enjoyed watching Fluttershy's head move up and down on her shaft, her movements filling her with pleasure.

Fluttershy let out a moan, imagining the pleasure she was giving to the cock. With each move, she pressed the back of her throat against the head of the cock, but she was still only halfway down the shaft. She decided to try to give her more. Taking a deep breath through her nose, she pushed down further than before. Twilight’s member pushed past her uvula right into to her esophagus. Her eyes closed tight and she squeezed out tears as she ignored her gag reflex.

Twilight Sparkle saw the effort on Fluttershy’s contorted face. “Oh wow!” she complimented, clearly impressed.

Fluttershy managed about three deep strokes before her reflex caught up to her. She quickly pulled away and turned to the side to cough a few times, discretely wiping her eyes with her wrists.

Twilight bit her lip, wondering if Fluttershy had pushed herself too hard, but then Fluttershy looked up at her with enthusiastic sapphire eyes. Reassured, she recomposed herself. “Very good!” the Alicorn said with a smile. “Now lie on your back with your legs spread.”

The direct order embarrassed the yellow Pegasus, causing her cheeks to blush pink. “Okay,” she replied, lying on her back with her wings spread against the floor. She laid her tail out to one side and spread her legs wide, showing off her succulent marehood. “I’m ready for you, Princess” she said warmly, almost teasingly.

Twilight grinned as she stepped forward, magically lifting her partner’s rump and adjusting her strap-on so the two met. She then pushed into her, penetrating her friend deeply.

“Oh…” Fluttershy moaned, “that feels so good…” Her body tensed, then relaxed with the marvelous sensation of Twilight’s phallus inside her. She let her head fall to one side and she closed her eyes, letting the feeling overcome her.

Twilight smiled. Seeing her friend like this was amazing. Her rosy hair laid softly on the stone floor, her breath was hot and heavy, and her limp body seemed to beg for more. She could feel how safe Fluttershy felt in this moment, allowing herself to be vulnerable, trusting Twilight to take care of her.

The artificially endowed Twilight decided to start things off slowly, sliding in and out gently and watching her partner react with deep breaths. Her slack jaw hung open as let out another moan of satisfaction. Her mind was elsewhere, fully enjoying the sensation that seemed to engulf her body.

Twilight Sparkle didn’t want to disrupt her friend’s passionate state, and kept moving in and out slowly, herself feeling the movement of every inch. This felt right. Two friends bonding over a most intimate interaction. It was playful and fun, and yet endearing and lovely. Something beautiful.

And then Twilight felt the yearning for more. More movement, more touch. She started to gyrate more vigorously, and watched as Fluttershy tightened her eyes. She moved faster, bracing herself with her front legs for better leverage. She experimented with leaning back, finding it better for her own penetration. She explored by leaning forward and stopped when she found the position where the harness rubbed her in just the right spot. She thrusted harder and faster and deeper.

Fluttershy’s eyes opened and she sat up, pushing the far-reaching dildo even further inside, but also pressing her own nub up against Twilight. She squeaked as she arrived suddenly at her climax, involuntarily shooting her love nectar out onto her partner. The feeling of her spasms shot through her, sending waves of relaxing pleasure down to the tips of her hooves.

Meanwhile, the Princess of Friendship ground into her partner, reaching the opportunity to drive the harness deeper into herself. Her crotch fought against the dildo, but the straps held fast, much to her delight.

She looked down at Fluttershy. She was glistening, her jaw slack with heavy breaths, and was looking back at her hopefully with cute aquamarine eyes. Twilight blushed and shut her eyes to avoid Fluttershy's stare, concentrating more on their movement.

The pleasure was fast and light, even a little frustrating, but it was enough for Twilight Sparkle. She thrusted harder and harder until at last she felt the feeling of ecstasy build up inside. "Aah!" she yelped, as her body began to release the tension.

She instinctively used her magic to fondle herself, marking the fulfillment of the act with several spastic gasps followed by a relaxing sigh.

Twilight stood limply for a moment, anchored by her crotch. She opened one eye to see the beautiful Pegasus smiling pleasantly back, resting on her elbows.

Twilight realized how ridiculous she looked and blushed, casting her eyes downward.

"That was wonderful," Fluttershy said reassuringly, lying back down onto the pillow. "Thank you!"

Twilight perked up. "You're welcome! I'm glad it wasn't weird."

Fluttershy shook her head. "Nope, not weird at all."

Towering over her friend, she had a creeping sense of insecurity, having just done the act in the middle of Celestia’s reading room. She spoke before she it could manifest.

"So, ready for bed?" she asked, tired from her workout. Slowly, she removed the dildo, and Fluttershy shuttered.

“Um, we could sleep, if you wanted to, but…” the shy pony bit her lip, as she watched the Alicorn take off the harness "...could we cuddle first?"

Twilight mentally slapped herself. She had completely forgotten about aftercare, which is an essential part of casual play. “Of course!” she said, steering herself towards that end. She tossed the harness aside and manipulated their beds from their bags, placing them side-by-side:perfect for two ponies to sleep in.

“Thank you,” Fluttershy said timidly, stepping onto the mattresses and lying down on her side. Twilight then laid opposite her and a bit higher, such that when Fluttershy shifted forward, her head rested between Twilight’s forelegs. She curled her hooves into a tight embrace.

Twilight smiled and gently smoothed Fluttershy’s frazzled pink mane. Their excitement dissipated as they rested their minds and bodies together in sweet harmony.

“I really enjoyed that,” cooed Fluttershy, nuzzling her cheek into Twilight more. “I’m still glowing.”

Twilight smiled and held Fluttershy close. “I’m so glad you had fun. We should do this again.”

“Yes we should.” Fluttershy agreed. She wondered who she would be partnered with next, and what that would be like. Her mind wandered to thinking of other possible guests. Spike was still a baby dragon, so he was inappropriate to invite, but there was one other that came to mind.

“Maybe next time we could invite Discord?”

Twilight shuddered and looked aghast before she could stop herself. “Um, well…” she stammered, regaining her composure, “I don’t think our friends are close enough to Discord to invite him to such an intimate party…”

“Oh, I guess not…” Fluttershy frowned, clearly disheartened.

“But… you could probably do something with just him, if you wanted,” Twilight suggested, trying to sound encouraging. “I mean, he’s the lord of chaos, so he’s gotta be open-minded, right?”

“That makes sense,” Fluttershy said as she contemplated her feelings for him. She had grown close to him, and was curious about the what his mind-control and shapeshifting abilities could do for her. “I’ll talk to him about it in my next letter.”

Twilight’s eye twitched thinking about the two of them together, but Fluttershy didn’t notice as she rolled to her other side, cuddling Twilight with her back.

The two ponies continued to talk late into the night about everything from parties to Stallions to pets. Eventually, they drifted off to sleep, still holding each other.
