Prologue: Twilight Has a Fetish For Lists
It was an innocent obsession. Really, it was just something that the Princess of Friendship liked to do in her free time... and not-so-free time. No harm could come of it, she was sure. As a matter of fact, this may even be and interesting experiment.
"I was just joking, Twilight!" cried Rainbow Dash, as the two entered the Castle of Friendship. Twilight had burst in eagerly, followed by a not-so-eager rainbow-maned pegasus. "Seriously! It was just a joke!"
Twilight Sparkle paid no mind to the near-frantic pegasus behind her as she trotted happily up the stairs to her personal library. Her sanctum sanctorum if you will. It was the place where the lists were made, and that room made it special. This sudden thought caused her to pause, which in turn made the pegasus behind her smash her muzzle right into the lavender mare's flank, and the tip of her nose to lightly brush the virgin folds underneath her tail.
"No, we're not starting yet, Dash," the alicorn mumbled, brushing Dash's face away while still thinking over the new problem that arose. She didn't even notice Rainbow's sudden blush behind her.
The problem at hand was quite a simple one. Her personal library, although definitely big enough, was not a place she wanted to desecrate with such a naughty experiment. No, this was an experiment more suited for the bedroom, certainty. 'Or... other places as need be,' thought Twilight as some of the more... exotic... fetishes came to mind. Oh well, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Problem solved, Twilight continued her eager journey up the stairs to her new destination. "Twiiiiiiiilight," she heard Rainbow groan behind her. "I don't want to be involved with your... kinky escapades."
"You're the one who came up with the idea, Rainbow Dash," replied Twilight. "And if you're uncomfortable with some of the heavier... stuff... then I'll let those pass. But you're definitely going to help me start out!"
A louder groan. "I was drunk, Twilight!" the pegasus tried to reason. "You can't honestly think I would ever want you to-"
Twilight Sparkle laughed as she opened the door to her bedroom. "Oh, yes I can imagine you wanting to do something like this!" she exclaimed. "As a matter of fact, this seems exactly like a contest you had with Applejack not too long ago."
Rainbow's ears wilted in response, and she facehoofed. "I knew that was a bad idea before it even started..."
"Anyways," Twilight continued, her voice going into lecture-mode. "I actually think that this would be a great experiment to try out! How many ponies can honestly say that they know every single thing that, 'turns them on,' so to speak?" Her horn flares, and an odd assortment of books flew to her from the various bookshelves and piles cluttering the room. "I will hopefully be able to list all of mine by the end of this experiment, and you may be able to also, depending on how long you stay with me!"
Rainbow Dash collapsed to her haunches, sighing in defeat. "But why me?"
Twilight huffed in annoyance as she paged through a copy of Mareiem Webster's Complete List of Paraphilias. "As I just said, Dash, it was your idea in the first place!"
The pegasus fell backwards, groaning again. "I regret my life choices..." she mumbled softly. Twilight pretended not to hear her as she snapped the book shut, and pulled out Fetishes and You: A Guide to Sexual Adventure!
"Just give me a few moments, Rainbow, and I'll be ready to start!" she said, reading intently and taking notes.
"Oh joy! I can't wait!" Sarcasm dripped from Dash's voice.
"Neither can I, Dash, but please be patient!"
Rainbow Dash began to repeatedly bang her head on the floor. Why did she ever mention this?
