Stress Release

After a couple hours of sleep the three mares woke up and stretched out. When she woke up Velvet at first was worried that everything that had happened over the past few days was just a dream but then realized it was a reality. She was in bed with the royal pony sisters who were holding her tight. The first one to say anything was Luna, "So did you sleep tight Velvet?"

Velvet dreamily replied, "Yes, oh yes I did."

Luna's stomach began to grow loudly as she was the first one to get out of bed. She asked, "Well it is time for supper. Shall we get dressed and head to the dining hall?"

Celestia replied, "Yes we should." She looked at Velvet and continued, "Shall we?"

Velvet replied, "Yes, we should."

At first the three just stood there looking at one another before they finally decided to get dressed. As they headed to the dining hall, Velvet was in the middle and had one princess on each arm. While she loved it when her and Celestia would walk arm in arm, she never imagined that she would be doing so with both princesses. Once they arrived in the dining hall Celestia like always, sat at the head of the table but Luna, who normally sits at the other head, sat right next to Velvet and pulled her close.

Celestia was in a state of shock as she never sat that close to Velvet during their meals, much less pulled her that close. She could see the smile Velvet was giving her sister and was a bit jealous. She decided to move from her normal seat and sit directly on the other side of Velvet. Celestia mumbled, "Little sister, I'm not going to just let you woo my mare away from me!"

Velvet heard this and sighed, "Celestia, she isn't trying to woo me away from you."

Luna added, "She is right. It is just a matter of me not being able to tear myself apart from such a sexy mare, perhaps the sexiest mare in the world."

Celestia yelled, "Hey, that title is mine and you know it!"

Before anypony could say anything else the chef had arrived to take their orders. He asked, "What would you three like tonight?"

Luna replied, "A hay steak, hay fries, a huge pitcher of cider and a huge plate of fritters!"

Celestia replied, "I'll take a daffodil and daisy sandwich, some tomatoes, a pitcher of cider and some chocolate cake, lots of cake!"

Velvet added, "I think I'll take what Celestia is having. Hay steak just doesn't sound good."

The chef nodded and headed to the back. There was an odd silence for a minute before Velvet continued, "Can I talk to you two about something?"

Luna replied, "Of course you can."

Before Celestia could respond Velvet began, "Well as both of you know I have been here for the past few days because of my blow up with Night Light and it seems like those are becoming more frequent here lately."

Celestia replied, "I know, you have been here for at least one night every two weeks."

Velvet continued, "I have and every single time I come here, the less and less I want to go home. More and more I find myself just wanting to stay here with you. It is getting to the point where I dread going home."

Luna asked, "I take it is because you are becoming increasingly frustrated with Night Light and his behavior?"

Velvet replied, "Yes, it is." She raised her voice and continued, "It seems like he doesn't appreciate me anymore! It seems like he doesn't even care that much anymore!" She looked at Luna and yelled, "You saw how I was the night I came over here! You saw how distraught I was!" Her yell turned into a scream, "I still can't believe he couldn't get in the mood because he was thinking about a stupid buckball game!"

Celestia gasped, "He what? He couldn't get in the mood because he was focused on a buckball game?"

Velvet sneered, "No he couldn't! He was so focused on us 'beating those showboats from Appaloosa' that he couldn't even get hard!"

She had broken down crying by this point so Luna pulled her close. She said, "I know this is hard on you Velvet. If you need more time away from him, I'll gladly keep you company" she began to giggle a bit, "and comfort you any way you need."

Velvet blushed, "I know and you are so good at it!" She gave Celestia a nervous look and continued, "You are too, I didn't mean just Luna!"

Celestia replied, "I know you weren't excluding me. You and Luna were talking so no problem." Celestia could see a look of nervousness in Velvet's eyes and continued, "Velvet, you look really nervous. I know you have a lot going on right now but is anything else going on that is bothering you?"

Velvet sighed, "Actually yes, there is. I know I should probably be going back home soon but the very thoughts of it makes me sick to my stomach. The very thoughts of having to put up with Night Light and his unappreciative behavior is enough to make me want to vomit."

Luna asked, "So when were you planning on going home?"

Velvet replied, "Well I was thinking about doing it tonight but I really don't want to. I know that he is likely starving given he can't do anything beyond pouring a bowl of cereal when it comes to fixing meals but a part of me honestly doesn't care."

This caused Celestia's jaw to drop in shock, "Seriously, you don't care if he was to starve? I know you are angry with him but that seems a little harsh. I wouldn't wish starvation on anypony."

Luna chimed in, "Well big sister, if he has cereal there he won't starve. He doesn't need to be coddled like a baby."

Velvet wrapped her arms around Luna and added, "Celestia, Luna makes a point. Perhaps if I'm not there to baby him all the time, he will actually appreciate me and everything I do for him."

Luna asked, "You said you were planning on going home tonight but you really don't want to. Have you decided to change your mind?"

Velvet knew that Luna would be doing her nightly patrol of the Everfree Forest so she looked at Celestia and asked, "I am wondering, would it be alright if I stayed here for just one more night!"

Celestia developed a mile wide grin on her face and replied, "Of course you can Velvet! Besides, I have not been thrilled having to share you with my sister so much. I want a solo session with you tonight."

Velvet moved over to Celestia and gave her a big kiss. While she dreaded going home the following day to an unappreciative husband, she had enjoyed her time with both Celestia and Luna and knew that she would have one more night of raunchy fun with one of the ponies that meant the most to her.
