Tryouts

"How long is she going to be out?" Twilight Sparkle asked Starlight Glimmer as they looked at Trixie, passed out on the floor.

"Four hours. Six at most," Starlight Glimmer answered, as Twilight used her magic to levitate the unconscious Trixie into the air and carry her. Starlight and Sunset Shimmer followed her upstairs. Twilight put Trixie to bed in Spike's bedroom. She put the enchanted copy of Rainbow Dash's fanfic on the night stand in Starlight's room.

"I need to return this diary to Princess Celestia," Twilight said.

"Can I come with you?" Sunset Shimmer asked nervously. "I- I haven't seen her since I ran away all those years ago." Twilight frowned.

"I was planning on scheduling time for you two to be reunited, but for now I was really hoping to just sneak in and out without drawing too much attention," she said.

"Twilight, you're a princess. Attention follows you," Starlight said.

"I could distract her," Sunset offered. "I really want to see her again. I guess I didn't realize just how much until just now."

"Fine. But we can't stay too long. Starlight, we should be back in time for dinner." Twilight checked the clock. "A late dinner. Trixie should be awake by then. And Moondancer should be finished with her punishment. Do you think you can handle preparing it on your own?"

"Of course!" Starlight said.

"Alright Sunny. Let's go," Twilight said.

"Where? The train station?" Sunset asked, following her outside.

"Where we're going, we don't need trains." Twilight lifted Sunset into the air with her magic and spread her wings. With a couple of mighty beats, they were airborne.

"Twilight, this feels weird," Sunset said from her purple aura. Twilight levitated the yellow unicorn along beside her as she flew.

"What, the magic?" Twilight asked.

"It's not that," Sun said.

"Scared of heights?"

"A little. But what I mean is, you giving me a ride like this," she said. "You're a princess. It feels weird having you be my... chauffeur."

"This is the fastest way for both of us to get to Canterlot. We can't wait for the train schedule. And I can't teleport us both that far safely. Even by myself, that kind of distance is difficult," Twilight explained. "And besides, I haven't been a princess for very long. I'm still just Twilight. It's not like I'm-" Twilight trailed off.

"Princess Celestia?" Sunset asked.

"Are you nervous?" Twilight asked.

"A little. Yes. I just hope she's not still mad at me."

"She never was," Twilight assured her.

"How do you know?"

"I know her. And you do too, Sunset. You know I'm right."

"But what do I say?" she asked.

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to say anything. You just need to be ready."

"For what?"

"For her to forgive you."

Starlight watched the pair become more distant in the sky until they were barely more than a speck. She turned and went back inside, closing the door.

"Right. Dinner." She scoured through the kitchen pantry and the refrigerator, gathering her ingredients. "Dinner, dinner."

• KNOCK KNOCK -

"Back already?" she wondered, trotting back to the foyer. "No wait, they wouldn't have knocked." She walked to the door and opened it. "I'm sorry sir or madam, but Princess Twilight will be unavail- Sunburst!?"

"Hey Starlight," the yellow unicorn said from outside the entrance. His creme-colored hoof brushed his two-tone orange mane out of his bespectacled, teal eyes.

"What are you doing in Ponyville?" Starlight asked. "Princess Twilight doesn't have any visitors scheduled all week."

"Actually, I came to visit you," he said. "I haven't come to Ponyville since the Castle appeared. And it's been a while since the last time you came to the Crystal Empire. I had some time off and I figured, why not stop by and surprise you."

"Oh."

"Is... it a bad time?"

"No. Well, kinda. But not really. Please, come inside!" she said, letting him in.

"Wow! So you live here?" he asked.

"Yeah, with Princess Twilight and Spike," she said, omitting recent developments. "But they're both out for a while. So it's no big deal. I'm actually just getting dinner prepared. Want to help?"

"Sure!" He followed her into the kitchen and they both set to work cooking.

"You ready for this?" Twilight asked Sunset as they stood outside of Princess Celestia's throne room. Sunset nodded under the hood of her robe. Twilight opened the doors.

Trumpets blared.

"ANNOUNCING PRINCESS TWILIGHT OF PONYVILLE!"

"Holy fuck! Right in my ear!" Twilight scolded the guard.

"Sorry, Your Highness."

"Twilight, my most faithful student!" Celestia greeted, rising from her throne "What brings you to see-"

For the first time in her life, Twilight saw Celestia at a loss for words, nearly stumbling on the throne's stairs. Her legs trembled.

"S-Sunset?" Celestia asked as her eyes glistened.

Sunset threw back her hood, and looked up at Celestia. For Sunset, it was easy to understand the origin of the idea of her divinity. It had been so long since she'd last been in her presence. So long that she had forgotten the feeling. Like a limb, numb from the cold. When the warmth returns, so does the feeling. But first, pain. The scars on each of their hearts ran deep. Each had grown numb to it. But now the wounds were reopened, to be healed at last.

But first, the pain.

Sunset Shimmer had rehearsed the scene in her mind so many times in her mind over the years. What she would say. How she would say it. But in that moment, everything she had planned on saying flooded out of her brain. She opened her mouth to speak. Her mouth was dry.

Her eyes were not.

No bow. No curtsy. No formality. Sunset shed her robe and bag and ran. She ran as fast as she could to her. Princess Celestia ran to her just as fast, meeting her in the middle to embrace her, enclosing her in her protective wing. There were no words. Sunset buried her face into Celestia's mane and bawled out her heartache loudly. Celestia wept silently as she held her and waved off the guards with her other wing. Even Twilight removed herself, closing the door to the throne room behind her.

Twilight wasn't sure what to expect. But it certainly wasn't that. In either case, it was clearly the closure they both needed. Twilight knew that if she were to have a lasting relationship with Sunset, this catharsis needed to happen first. Twilight shifted the weight in her bag and headed to Celestia's personal chamber. Twilight was the only pony allowed to enter Celestia's chamber without her. As far as she knew, not even Luna or Cadance had such privilege. She nodded to the veteran guards that recognized her and let her enter. Twilight placed the diary in Celestia's nightstand, with a note inside with a brief explanation, and apologizing for it's theft. Her task completed, she exited into the hallway once more.

Unsure of what to do while she waited for Sunset and Celestia to finish their reunion, Twilight walked the length of the hallway. At the far end, she hear noise coming from the other royal chamber.

"Bullshit! T'was a lag kill!" Luna spat, shaking her game controller in her magic.

"What are you smoking? Your ping is like, ten!" Spike said, sitting watching on the couch beside her.

"Thine team is shite!" she complained. "Must we carry thy team as well as the moon!?"

"She said from last place" Spike muttered under his breath. "Get the power-up!"

"We are not blind!" she said. "Somepony ELSE get on the control point!" she yelled into her headset.

"Reload," Spike advised. "On your right. Shit! Grenade!"

YOU DIED

"Curse you P_Squ34k!" Luna said into her mic.

m00nbutt: "Thou art a l33t haxor!"

P_SQU34K: U wot m8? I'll bash ur hed in I swear on me mum!

B_M4$H: lol shes a tote newb

"Thine mother fornicates for currency!" she yelled, quitting the game in a fit of rage.

"How about we play something less stressful?" Spike suggested. "Which one is it that you play as a horseshoe salespony?"

"Dark Soles." Spike put the game in and started playing. "Prithee, Spike, have thou taken our suggestion to court the new Dragon Lord, Lady Ember?"

"Hmff." Spike huffed. Luna waited a moment for an actual answer.

"Are we to accept that response to be a 'no'?"

"She's not my type," Spike said.

"Spike, a diplomatic tie with the Dragon nation would do wonders for easing foreign tensions."

"There's only one I have eyes for," he said.

"Spike..."

"Don't give me that tone," he said. "I don't need your pity."

"Unrequited forlorn pining is not attractive," Luna said. "T'is an indication of arrested development. Lady Rarity will never return your feelings. T'is futile to carry a flame for her so."

"You should use your future-seeing ability to play the Equestrian lottery."

"We need no divining ability to see such a thing." Luna turned and looked away. "We know that there is nothing that we can say to make you understand. Wisdom can not be taught. It can only be learned. In time, you will understand." Luna could only hope that time would come before he outlived his unicorn crush.

"..."

-Knock-Knock-

"Spike?" Twilight asked from the doorway, looking into the darkened room. The black-out curtains blocked all sunlight.

"Oh, hey Twilight." Spike waved. "Did you come to your senses and kick everypony out?"

"Uh, not yet. Is this where you're staying?"

"Yeah."

"Thine number one assistant is a superb player two!" Luna said.

"Thanks."

"You do know it's the middle of the day, right?" Twilight asked.

"We are aware."

"When do you sleep?"

"At night. We need to be asleep to watch over the realm of ponies' dreams," Luna explained.

"Oh." The door to the throne room opened down the hall. "I'll uh, I'll send for you when everything settles down at home, Spike," Twilight said. He nodded in acknowledgement. Twilight backed out of the room and closed the door. She trotted down the hallway to Sunset Shimmer, standing just inside the throne room doorway with Princess Celestia.

"Twilight," Celestia greeted, "Thank you so much for reuniting Sunset Shimmer with me. You can not know how much I've longed for this day."

"You're welcome, Princess. It was my pleasure, really."

"And I am so pleased to hear of your courtship! I think that she will be a wonderful bride for you."

"Oh really?" Twilight asked, casting a sideways glare at Sunset.

"It just- kind of came up in conversation," Sunset said.

"You needn't feel ashamed of your... alternative lifestyle," Celestia said. "Love is a celebration, in all its forms.

"What!?"

"Lesbian," Sunset whispered.

"Oh. No. It's not that. I mean, it is. But that's not the problem."

"There's a problem?" Celestia asked.

"Celestia, may I speak with you for a moment in private?" Twilight asked.

It was Sunset's turn to wait in the hall.

"Okay, so, the dinner is cooking," Starlight said to Sunburst. "That went a lot easier with your help. Thanks."

"You're welcome," Sunburst said as he finished setting the dinner table.

"We've got some time before Twilight gets back," Starlight said, strutting over to him, giving his chin's beard a little tug. "Want to go up to my room?"

"B-but after last time, I thought you said you were going to propose to Twilight," he said.

"I did. But we're not married. Not yet anyways," she said.

"But don't you think it would be wrong for you to be dating another pony while you're dating her?"

"Well, considering that she's also dating three other ponies, I'd say I'm morally in the clear."

"What!?"

"It's a long story," she said "I'll tell you all about it some other time. But for now..."

Sunburst could feel her magic teasing at his sheath. It didn't take much to make his erection grow quickly.

"Starlight," he breathed as she ducked her head underneath him and began to suck on his cock right there in the dining room.

Sunburst had come to Ponyville for his vacation to see the new castle and his old friend, Starlight. After their reunion at the Crystalling, they had become casual lovers whenever either of them had the opportunity to see the other. Neither felt ready to become emotionally invested in the relationship again. After their most recent absconding together, Starlight informed him of her intentions to propose to Twilight.

"Oh Starlight," he moaned, placing his hoof on the back of her head gently as she sucked him deeper. "I thought I would never feel you do this again!"

It was bittersweet coupling, last time in the Empire. Each made it the best they experience could, to remember once Starlight entered into an exclusive relationship. Sunburst had prepared himself to simply congratulate Starlight and Twilight. Or, at worst, console Starlight in her rejection. But he wasn't prepared for this. He felt her pull her mouth off of him and she stood up, taking his hoof in hers.

"Upstairs," she ordered. She led the way up the stairs to her bedroom and he followed after her. She intentionally let her tail flag up and away. He drank in the sight that she afforded him of her exquisite marehood. He would have followed her into the depths of Tartarus.

"Twilight, do you realize how grossly irresponsible this is of you?" Princess Celestia scolded her former student.

"I'm sorry. I didn't plan on it happening this way," Twilight said. She explained that Sunset Shimmer wasn't wrong in telling Celestia that they were dating. But it was misleading. Twilight was forced to explain how she was currently dating four mares at the same time. "They all came to me on the same day. And I couldn't decide on just one, and hurt the others' feelings."

"Twilight, have you any idea how many suitor requests I receive, daily?" Celestia said. "Not four. Four hundred. I weep for the forests that have been decimated over the centuries from the waste of paper. Thousands of tax Bits to pay for an entire department dedicated to sorting through all of the romantic letters I get. Of course I have to say no to all of them. Surely you could have found the strength to say no to at least three."

"Oh." Twilight sighed. "Who do you think I should choose? Sunset? I mean, Moondancer and I have history. But Starlight and I have grown so close over the past couple of years. And Trixie-" Twilight's legs trembled. "Trixie is sexy in an obvious way." Celestia's legs trembled.

"Yeah. She is."

"I didn't know what to do. Who to choose. So I'm just trying to give everypony a fair chance," Twilight explained. Celestia returned to sit in her throne.

"Twilight, I've been around for a long time. Longer than I'd care to admit. But I don't claim to be the expert in love."

Twilight opened her mouth to speak. Celestia cut her off.

"And Cadance will say the same thing," Celestia said, anticipating her response. "Nopony is. And anypony who claims to be is a flawed pony." Celestia paused to let the words weigh on Twilight. "All you can do is decide for yourself what is best for you. And while I certainly wouldn't have recommended it, myself, if you really think that your tryouts is the best way to handle this, then I won't tell you that you can't."

"I didn't really have a plan," Twilight admitted. "I've just been making things up as I go along. I just hope someday I'll have my act together like you." Celestia chuckled. "What?"

"Life is one big ad-lib, Twilight. Everypony is making it up as they go along. Everypony. Even me. Nopony has all the answers. So I can't tell you if what you're doing is for the best or not. But I also can't make this choice for you. This choice is yours, and yours alone. But know this-" Celestia waved Twilight closer with her wing. "Whatever choice you make, I will support you."

"Thank you, Princess." Twilight embraced her mentor before turning to leave. Celestia just shook her head. She could not teach wisdom. Some lessons had to be learned on their own. "Sunset," Twilight said to the unicorn in the hallway. "It's time to head back to Ponyville."

~~~~~

Celestia waited until they left before taking a stroll down the hallway herself, heading downstairs to one of the castles many labor departments. The mail room was a flurry of activity of ponies sifting through the royal mail.

"Room Tech-HUT!" Celestia's guard escort shouted. The ponies all stood at attention in the Princess's presence.

"Carry on," she said. The ponies returned to their work, filling bins that were to be sent to the castle's recycling center, each labeled with what type of mail it was, such as advertisements or other junk mail. Celestia took a moment to sift through one of the recycling bins.

"Your Highness," the head mail clerk addressed, "I can assure you that my employees are very thorough. Nothing important will be thrown out. You needn't concern yourself with this trash."

"Thank you for your continued diligence," Celestia said kindly with a smile. "I have no doubt of your level of excellent work. You don't need to worry about me." She shooed him away and poked her hoof into the 'fan mail' bin.

"Your Majesty, the hour approaches," her escort reminded her of the time of shift change. Celestia grabbed a random assortment of the letters and went upstairs to greet her sister and lower the sun. Afterwards she retired to her chambers and locked the soundproof doors. She found her diary, not where she had left it. The note inside gave an explanation, regarding Trixie's prank, and promise that Twilight had not read the rest of it aside from Trixie's addition at the end. Celestia chuckled and put her diary away. She took off her shoes and helm of office and settled into bed with the letters. One at a time, she opened them and began to read.

Dear Princess Celestia,

It would be a great honor for you to consider me for an opportunity to be your royal consort. I am an affluent unicorn named...

"Blah blah blah..." she skipped ahead.

... I am learned in all manner of classical education and royal protocol...

"Boring!" Celestia crumpled up the letter and threw it away. She opened the next one.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I want you to sit on my face. I want to be smothered in your marehood. I want your pussy to be my last meal. I want...

Celestia looked at the envelope. It was from a dungeon inmate on death row. But it wasn't even a request for a royal pardon. It was a request for his means of execution. "Creative. I'll give him that." The idea gave her goosebumps. She briefly considered actually agreeing to it. "Ugh, but imagine the scandal. I'd have a whole wave of murders just so inmates could eat my pussy." She crumpled up the letter and threw it away.

Dear Princess Celestia,

You ever been fucked by a zebra? Cuz you about to be. I got a striped dick so big it's gonna wreck your royal ass. (See pic included.)

"Now here we go." Celestia smirked. She took the photograph out of the envelope and looked at it. As she did, her hoof traveled down between her legs, to her royal marehood.

I'm gonna fuck you so hard that you ain't even gonna be able to sit on your throne. Then I'm gonna fuck your throat so deep and make you swallow all of my cum. See these huge balls? They're full of cum just for you. Do you make ponies use a rubber? Cuz I don't. I'm cum inside and get you so pregnant and make you have little zebra princes running all over the place. Then I'm gonna-

His atrocious vernacular aside, he was certainly painting a vivid picture. Along with the photo of his significant endowment, she was clopping herself faster with each sentence of him describing all the lecherous things he wanted to do to her body. Her hoof was a blur on her marehood, swiftly bringing herself to orgasm, spurting her marecum onto the bedspread. "FFF-Fuck! I love fan mail!"

Meanwhile, in Ponyville, Starlight all but threw Sunburst onto the bed with her magic.

"Whoa!" he gasped as the mare aggressively climbed on top of him. She ran her tongue along the length of his cock a few more times, getting it nice and wet. "So, um, about dinner," he tried to say as she tenderly began to felate him, "Am I invited? Because I'm kinda hungry after all that cooking."

"I've got something for you to eat," Starlight said, taking a page from Trixie's pickup lines. She crawled up along his body and turned around on top of him, straddling his head with her thighs. Sunburst needed no other instruction as he looked up at her dripping marehood hovering over his face. He lifted himself up enough to begin thoroughly licking her as he spread her pussy with his hooves.

"So for dessert, I was thinking that we could make eclairs," she said, leaning down to his dick again. "But I might need some help with the cream filling," she purred, taking him into her mouth again. From underneath, he ran his mouth up and down along her slit, flicking her little love button at one end and and probing her vagina deeply with his tongue. He could feel her thighs gripping his head and trembling whenever he hit her sensitive spot. "Mmhh," she moaned in pleasure onto his dick. He could feel her throat practically vibrating around him.

"Oh, how I've missed this," he gasped under her. She could feel his warm breath on her pussy as he spoke. She pulled his dick from her mouth briefly.

"Me too," she said. She loved the feeling of him going down on her. He was always so eager to please her, and enthusiastic in his efforts. Even though he was the only stallion she had ever been with, she had heard that most males we less inclined to please a mare so. She just considered herself lucky for him. "f-fuck you're good at that!" Starlight couldn't focus on sucking him off. And free from the distraction, he was able to really get her going. He pushed a tendril of magic into her pussy, making a come-hither curling motion inside her, rubbing against her inner wall. "Oh Sunburst!" She could feel the knot in her belly getting tighter. He drover her further, getting her right to the edge as her hips rocked instinctively on his face. Just when she couldn't take it any more, he closed his mouth on her clit and gave it a quick suck.

Starlight lurched upright and cried out in ecstasy, her orgasm rewarding his efforts with a fresh gush of her wetness into his mouth. He swallowed her nectar eagerly, keeping his lips and tongue off of her for a moment to give her a break, as so to not overstimulate her while she was still so sensitive. She had trained him well, she thought as she came down from her high.

But as much as she would have loved to just ride his face all evening, it was getting late. And her pussy demanded more than even the most talented tongue could offer. She lifted her hips away from his face. He looked disappointed. From prior experiences, he was looking forward to having spent far more time under her. She stood up and turned around above him.

"I need this in me now!" she told him as she squatted over his waist. She took his cock in her magical grasp and aimed it upwards, aligning it with her marehood. She lowered herself down to his tip and rubbed it against her slit. Her juices mixed with her saliva and his precum, easily coating his head and shaft. She lined it up with her entrance. He eagerly bucked his hip up off the mattress, catching her by surprise and nearly knocking her off balance on the soft bedding. "Naughty boy," she scolded playfully as she lifted her hips away.

"You said you needed it," he defended.

"Yes, I did," she grinned, lowering herself back down, holding him more firmly as she felt the tip push inside of her. "Ah," she moaned.

"Oh my gosh!" he gasped as she sunk her hips lower. "That always feels amazing every time we do this!" She felt his medial ring slip inside and then her hips rested against his. She leaned down and kissed him. She could taste her own juices on his soaked snout.

"But this might have to be our last time, okay?" Starlight said as she slowly moved her hips up and down on his shaft. "If Twilight does choose to be with me, then I'm going to be faithful. I hope you can respect that."

"But Starlight, I- I think I lo-" Starlight quickly put a hoof to his lips and stopped moving her hips.

"Shhh! Please don't!" she begged. "We promised each other that we weren't going to get into an emotional relationship with each other. I like you Sunburst. You're a wonderful friend and lover. But I love Twilight. I've always been honest about that with you. And you promised that you would be okay with that."

Sunburst nodded.

"Now we can stop right now if we have to," Starlight said. "But I'd like to enjoy this with you one last time, and remember this part of our friendship in a nice way. Do you think you can be okay with that too?"

Sunburst nodded. Starlight took her hoof away from his mouth and started moving her hips on him again. When they first started the 'benefits' part of their friendship, Sunburst had a real hair-trigger. He had come quite a ways in self control, but even still, she made an effort to move slowly, tenderly, to make this final time together last just a little longer.

Sunburst looked down between them, watching her body moving on top of him, watching his length vanishing into her and sliding back out again. He made a conscious effort to memorize every detail of her. The way she looked in the soft light of the bed lamp, with her messy mane, and her pale, purple fur glistening with sweat. The scent and flavor of her musk on his lips and in his nose. The wet sounds of her riding him, squelching out over the sound of her panting breath, against the cacophony of his heartbeat thundering in his ear. And the feeling! The indescribable sensations he felt as she moved on him and squeezed his dick with every flex of her pelvic muscles.

It was an experience he would cherish forever. Even as he hoped that the ride itself would last just as long. But alas, after all the teasing and oral attention he'd received, it was a fools hope. He winced and clenched his eyes. He could feel his balls getting tighter.

"Mmf, ngh, Starlight, I- I'm gonna-" he moaned. His shaft became even more rigid. She could feel his head flare wide, stretching her inside. He put his hooves on her waist to help lift her off so that she could take his load in her mouth as she normally would. Starlight pushed his hooves away and held them down on the bed with her own as she slammed down a final time, gripping his hips with her thighs. "I'm cumming!" he cried. Starlight could feel his shaft pulse and throb inside her in time with his heartbeat.

As soon as she felt the first splash of cum burst inside her, her horn flashed with light. In an instant she had teleported them above the bed, and flipped them over. They fell together onto the mattress as she wrapped her legs around him, holding him inside her as he continued to ejaculate. Any clear though exited his mind as his orgasm rocked his body. For all the times he has finished in her mouth, this was something else entirely, and entirely new.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" he moaned. She could feel his hot seed flooding into her. She held him tightly with her legs, making her passageway grip him firmer still, milking him even as he was past the point of being spent. His legs failed him as he collapsed on top of her, huffing and panting into her mane. Even Starlight's legs had grown fatigued and fell away to either side of her, releasing him at last. He hadn't the strength to move, his cock remaining inside her twitching a few final times as it began to grow limp, at last slipping free with a wet 'plop'.

"You're kind of -Oof!- crushing me," Starlight huffed. Sunburst rolled off of her onto the cool sheets. The sudden temperature change brought with is an instant sobriety.

"Oh no! I came inside you!"

"It's okay," Starlight assured him.

"But I didn't use any protection, or a contraceptive spell! What if you-"

"It's okay!" Starlight assured him again. "It's nowhere near summer. I'm not even close to being in my fertile season."

"Oh... okay." Happy with her answer, his head flopped back onto the pillow.

Outside, Twilight Sparkle touched down from her flight back from Canterlot. She lowered Sunset Shimmer from her magical levitation onto the ground beside her.

"There. Another happy landing," Twilight said. They walked inside. "Ooh, something smells good," she said, seeing the kitchen and dining room set. The timer on the stove showed thirty minutes left. But there was no sign of Starlight. "Starlight must be upstairs. Do you want to go check and see if Trixie is awake or if Moondancer is back from the book?"

"Actually, I was thinking we could try out the modification on the mirror," Sunset said from the living room.

"I don't know..." Twilight wavered. "What if it doesn't work?"

"Then the mirror will work like it always has."

"I mean, what if it isn't safe?" Twilight asked nervously

"Well there's only one way to find out. Besides, I'm curious. Aren't you?" Sunset asked, knowing Twilight could never resist her own curiosity.

"Fine."

"Okay. So which should we do? Do you want to see if we can stay ponies on the other side?"

"Not today. We don't have time to be gone long. And we should try to make some kind of preparations over there before we just 'show up' in our pony form."

"Okay. You're right. What if I go through, and then I'll wait a few seconds while you switch the modification on. Then I'll come back through."

"But what if something goes wrong? What if you can't come back? What if-" Sunset held Twilight head with her hooves.

"Did you know that IF is the middle word of LIFE?" Sunset said. She kissed Twilight. "I trust you. Trust me?" Twilight nodded. Before she could say anything else, Sunset leaped through the mirror in a flash of magic.

Twilight waited a second for the mirror to stop rippling and then flipped on the switch. A few seconds later, the mirror flashed again and Sunset stepped back though.

"Whoa," Twilight breathed. Sunset turned around and looked in the mirror.

"Whoa," Sunset gasped. She was in her human form, but it was a little... off.

She was human, but still had her pony ears and tail. And she was aggressively naked without any clothing or even fur. She blushed and reflexively covered her breasts and crotch with her hands.

"Is there something wrong with the mirror?" Twilight asked, ignoring Sunset's nudity. Sunset realized that she was being artificially self-conscious from her imprinting of human modesty rules. "Sunset?"

"Hold on, don't change it." Sunset jumped back through. A few moments later she returned. Her hands covered herself again. "No. I look like a normal human in the other world still, clothes and all. The mirror didn't do this."

"You look like how you did when you 'pony up' in the human world," Twilight said.

"Yeah. Maybe it's because of the Equestrian magic here," she said, standing awkwardly.

"Oh um," Twilight blushed, remembering the human requirements of clothing and the lewd implications of nudity. "Did you want to undo it now or... I mean, I don't really have and clothes that would work for this form."

"No no, it's-" Sunset stammered, forcing her hands to her sides. She realized that she needn't be ashamed of her nakedness here. "It's fine. This is our natural state after all."

Twilight was not helping her feel any more at ease as she looked her up and down. Twilight remembered her academic inspection of her own form when she had gone through the first time. Many of her parts were the same. Many were not. Aside from the strangeness of having hands and fingers, once she was able to make it to a private restroom, she could identify the semi-familiar parts of her that indicated her gender. Of particular burden were the size and location of human mammies. Special garments had been invented just to contend with them.

But now, as Twilight beheld Sunset's form in full view, she found that her breast were quite lovely to look at. She didn't understand why, but there was just something so tantalizing about them to her. Perhaps it was the humans' insistence that they be kept hidden, and all she knew were her own. Likewise as Twilight's eyes drifted southward, to the patch of red and yellow fur nestled between Sunset's legs. It would require further study, Twilight decided.

"Twilight?" Twilight shook herself from her daze.

"Right! Um, I'll go check on dinner!" Twilight said, realizing that she had been salivating. And not for food.

Sunset took one last look in the mirror at herself and steeled her nerves. She walked upstairs and reminded herself that everypony was naked most of the time. That wasn't going to be the novelty of the surprise.

~~~~~

Starlight's eyes shot open as she heard steps coming upstairs.

"Shit! Twilight's home!"

"Wai- what!?" Sunburst was likewise rocked awake from his post-coital snooze.

"Sorry!" she said in a hushed whisper before kissing him.

"Sorry for wha-" In a flash of light, Starlight teleported him outside of the castle. A window opened above him.

"I'll write you!" Starlight said down at him in a hushed yell before ducking back inside and closing the window. She jumped back on the bed, pretending to have been napping.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Starlight?" she heard Sunset's voice ask.

"Yes?" Starlight replied.

"I have a surprise for you," Sunset said, opening the door.

"AHH!" Starlight yelped, seeing the strange creature walking into her bedoom.

"Starlight, it's okay! It's me! It's Sunset! The mirror thing worked!" Sunset said. Starlight regained her composure, and recognized the features that Twilight had described in her illustrations of what humans looked like in the other world. "I just wanted to surprise you when I came up to tell you that-" Sunset froze just inside the doorway. "Wow! It reeks of sex in here!"

"What!?" Starlight asked nervously, trying to buy a few precious seconds.

"I said, it stinks of sex in here," she repeated.

"Oh. Well. That's- that's because I was- I was MASTURBATING!" Starlight blurted, quickly pulling out her vibrating dildo from under her bed and pushing it into her freshly-fucked pussy. Starlight's recent activity made it easy for the toy to slip inside her. "I got bored after I finished preparing dinner, so I was masturbating. Thinking about last night," she said, trying to misdirect Sunset to remember the previous night of them together.

"Hmff, yeah. That was pretty hot," Sunset said, smirking as she looked at Starlight laying there with the toy, and the smell of musk filling the room. "Twilight's taking care of finishing dinner. We have a little time. You wanna go for a quick round?"

"Um, sure!" Starlight said without thinking.

"You should see what I can do with these," Sunset said, flourishing her fingers before she crawled onto the bed with her.

"Actually," Starlight paused, "Can I- can I look at you first? I'm curious."

"Oh, yeah okay." Starlight recognized most of the anatomical similarities. And the noted differences in the location of certain things.

"Human breasts are this big even when they're not nursing young?" she asked.

"Yeah. They have special garments to help support them. Humans don't have a fertile season. They're able to conceive year round." Sunset shifted nervously as Starlight looked her over.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just feel... naked."

"We don't usually wear clothes."

"Yeah, but humans usually do. All the time. It's considered embarrassing to be nude."

"Is that because humans don't have fur?"

"Maybe."

"Well, you do have some fur," Starlight said, pointing her hoof at Sunset's bushy crotch of yellow and red.

"Yeah, I, uh, normally trim that. But I haven't had a chance to- WHOA!" Starlight grabbed Sunset's feet and pulled her over to her. Sunset fell onto her back on the bed and Starlight spread her legs for a closer look. She spread Sunset's pussy lips with her hooves. "HEY! Easy! It's a little more sensitive for humans."

"Oh. Sorry." Starlight continued to examine Sunset's new form. "So human females are always in heat?"

"No, it's not like that. They don't have a 'heat'. But they are always fertile. Their cycle lasts a month, rather than a year," Sunset explained. Starlight looked closer at Sunset's pussy.

"Everything looks... smaller."

"Yeah. Human penises are only about the size of a cucumber."

"Really!?"

"Yeah."

"How could you live like that?" Starlight asked. Sunset pointed to the horse-cock dildo, still inside Starlight's pussy.

"The other world has horses, too," Sunset said with a blush.

"You were able to do... like that... with a horse?" Starlight asked. Sunset nodded sheepishly.

"What can I say? I was homesick."

"Yeah, but, how could a human mare-"

"A woman."

"How could a woman ever fit something like this in there?" Starlight asked.

"It's possible."

"..."

"..."

"Show me."

"What?"

"Show me!" Starlight said.

"Okay, hold on. Give me a few minutes here. It's been a little while." Sunset laid back and moved her hand to her crotch, parting her fur around her pussy. She took a minute to warm herself up, sliding her finger along her slit, getting her juices flowing as she played with her clit. Then she started working her fingers inside. Two at first. And then a third soon followed, sliding them in and out, pushing them deeper each time.

Starlight watched with intent fascination at the dexterity of the individual fingers each moving independently. She looked at her own hoof and tried to imagine what it would be like to have such a limb.

Sunset squeezed her pinkie finger in with the rest as her thumb continued to play with her clit while she stretched herself further. Sunset loved the use of her fingers, but longed for her magic. Without it, she was limited to only her manual stimulation. And her arm was only so long. She reached as far as she could and strained her wrist to get the tip of her thumb just inside her opening. It was the best she could hope for on her own.

"Okay, I think I'm ready," Sunset said. She rolled onto her belly and lifted her butt up. Behind her, Starlight pulled the dildo from her own pussy. It was plenty well lubricated from her own wetness, and slick with Sunburst's thick white cum now coating it. She brought to relatively blunt tip to Sunset's human vagina. Guiding it with her hoof, Starlight helped to spread Sunset's pussy with her magic. With a bit of twisting and pushing, they were able to get the tip to pop inside her opening.

"OH yes!" Sunset gasped into the bedding. Starlight slowly pushed more of it into her, curious to see just how much would be able to fit. About half-way, she felt a resistance.

"I think you're full."

"No, no. Let me," Sunset said, reaching back with her hand to push it in herself. She placed her free hand under her belly. She took three slow, deep breaths. Each time, her pussy swallowed more and more of the stallion phallus. After the third time, she felt a twinge in her tummy where the bulge pressed against her hand. She had managed to get two-thirds of it in, stopped at last by her unyielding cervix. "There," she panted, "That's as much as I can take."

"That's still really impressive."

"Thanks."

Starlight took the dildo with her hoof and began to work it in and out of Sunset's very stretched pussy.

"Oh! I have missed this," Sunset moaned, fingering her clit as Starlight began to pump it faster.

Inside Rainbow Dash's fanfic, Moondancer stood outside of the fictional Tempal of Dume. Daring Do stood beside her.

"Rainbow Dash, we half two opin teh dore two get the idle. Than wheel save the werld," Daring Do said to her.

"Please kill me now," Moondancer muttered. "For the last time, I'm NOT Rainbow Dash!"

"Fur the dore too opin we half two do the secks richule!"

"We have to do the sex ritual for EVERYTHING in this book! Open a door. Unlock a chest. Lower a bridge. Everything is sex-powered!"

"Only the fastest, bestest, most awesomest Wonderbolt can wheeled the mitey Staff of Penitrayshun!" Daring Do held up the golden dildo to Moondancer.

"Oh joy. This again." Moondancer took the dildo from her as Daring Do presented herself to her. Moondancer plunged the plot device into the pegasus and unceremoniously began to work her like a butter churn.

"Yes! Yes! Your teh best at secks Rainbow Dash! I love you! Your making me orgazum!"

"At least one of us is enjoying this."

The heavy doors of the Tempal of Dume swung open, revealing the glittering idol inside.

"Rainbow Dash we did it! Are secks saved teh werld!" Daring Do said.

Moondancer grabbed the idol. It was an identical golden dildo.

"What the fuck! We already had one of these!" Moondancer cursed.

"Kiss me Rainbow Dash and we can be maryed and liv happyly ever after!"

"Oh for fuck sakes..."

"Oh, Starlight!" Sunset cried out as Starlight pumped the dildo into her. "I'm so close! Don't stop!" Starlight didn't slow down. Sunset's fingers were a blur on her clit, underneath. "Ah! Ah I'm cumming!" she moaned. Starlight stopped thrusting, unsure of a human body's fortitude. She waited to let her recover and not overstimulate her. After waiting a moment, she pulled it out of her stretched pussy. Her tightness wiped the dildo clean of any leftover stallion spunk. "That was amazing!"

In a flash of light, Moondancer reappeared out of the book on the nightstand. She looked at Starlight, on the bed holding a dildo, and the strange creature beside her.

"What the fuck chapter is this, now!?"

"Moondancer! It's Sunset Shimmer," Starlight said. "The modification to the mirror worked. This is what the creatures in the other world look like."

"Hey," Sunset breathed, still coming down from her orgasm.

The door to the bedroom opened. A groggy Trixie had just awoken from her drugged sleep, only to see a strange creature in the next bedroom

"AHHmfff!" Trixie's scream was stifled by Moondancer's hoof.

"No. No more screaming," Moondancer said. "This is Sunset. This is what the creatures on the other side of the mirror portal look like."

"It's a parallel universe where there's another version of each of us that look like this," Sunset explained. Trixie relaxed. Moondancer freed her from her grasp once she was sure she wouldn't scream any more.

"So you're saying that there's another Trixie on the other side of the mirror?"

"Yes. I've met her," Sunset said, before she even realized her mistake in telling her. Trixie turned and ran downstairs.

"Oh, Trixie, you're awake-" Twilight tried to say as Trixie ran past the dining room.

"Stop her!" Sunset shouted from upstairs. But it was too late. Trixie dove into the mirror portal. Starlight ran downstairs along with Moondancer.

"We need to disable the modification on the mirror," Starlight said while Sunset tried to navigate the stairs barefoot. As soon as they turned it off, Sunset flashed in a brilliant light, turning back into a unicorn completely.

"Well, I know Trixie must be going through the same thing we did," Twilight said to Sunset, each remembering when they first transformed into a human for the first time.

"Should we go after her?" Sunset asked.

"Yes!" Twilight said, sitting down at the table. "But after dinner. I'm hungry."

~~~~~

"Mmm! Delicious!" Twilight complimented as she wiped her mouth with her napkin. It had been a significantly less noisy dinner without the azure showmare.

"Thank you," Starlight said. "What did you two think?"

"Very filling," Moondancer agreed.

"I'm glad I'm a pony again," Sunset said. "I'm not sure my human palate would have cared for hay fries."

"Oh?" Moondancer asked with a quizzical expression. "What do humans eat?"

Sunset and Twilight exchanged a nervous look.

Crispy Bacon. Juicy Steak. Succulent Veal. Savory, Deep-Fried Chicken Flesh.

"Oh, you know, normal things," Sunset said. "Right Twilight?"

"Oh, yes, normal things like... vegetables and... salad, and..."

-FLASH-

"...AND ALL THE PEANUT-BUTTER CRACKERS YOU COULD EVER WANT!" Trixie said stepping out of the mirror with-

"Oh no," Twilight groaned, "Now there's two of them."
