Stardust is a unicorn with a unique type of magic. It works only under the light of the moon. He doesn't know many ponies, and is rather quiet in his social life. But as life goes, things do seem to change. But as he will soon learn, change is scary.

A long time ago, Celestia and Luna's father Solaris went missing. It of course saddened them, but they were strong. They had a kingdom to rule over, and lives to move on with. Sometimes, as they have learned multiple times throughout their long lives, that problems can sometimes solve themselves. And for all they have been through together, their lives will soon become intertwined in something even greater than themselves. The ponies in Equestria know so little of their true origins, and those that came before Celestia and Luna are about to make themselves known. The world has chosen bliss, and now the shroud of ignorance will soon be removed.

Chapter 1: Beginnings

Author's Note

Patric12345 is one of my oldest friends. He helped me write The Pack, and many other stories. It has been a long time since we did any sort of project, but I can safely say that we are back to writing together. I know I haven't been reliable when starting new stories, seeing as they always seem to be put on hiatus and never get finished. But I am very passionate about this story, and swore I wouldn't publish unless I was sure it would last. And I'm proud to say that we have 11 chapters already written, and will release them once a day. I want to get back in the public eye, and I think this is the perfect story to make that happen. Ash is my OC, and I write for him. Stardust belongs to my boyfriend Patric12345, who in turn writes for him. I love criticism and can't wait to see what you guys think of this story. Thanks for being patient, and I'm happy to announce my true return to Fimfic.

Chapter 1: Beginnings

"Finally," I mused quietly, staring up at the ruins at once could have been a large, and very beautiful castle. "Hmm... last time I was here I checked the library... nothing was really there..." I tapped my chin as I slowly entered the castle proper, "Maybe I should scout out the bedrooms... they might have left something in there that could help." I nodded and darted towards where I assumed the bedrooms would be. Though I began to notice something odd the further in I got, nature seemed to be reclaiming the castle a whole lot more the deeper in I got. I didn't have much time to think about it though as I tripped over a vine and hit the ground.

"Oww..." I groaned, slowly pushing myself up. "Ugh..." I wiped the little bit of blood from under my nose. Though that was quickly overshadowed by the fact that there was a huge vine covering over top of the doors to what I could only assume was the Princess' old room. "Damn it..." I grumbled quietly, falling back for a moment as I scanned over the doors, the vines were way to thick for me to do anything to. "Hm..." Then I noticed it, they didn't seem particularly attached to it... more just, covering the doorway. I stood up and slowly walked to the door, putting my hand just lightly against the vines, seeing if I could just push them out of the way.

The vines twitched, slithering around slowly. The tip of several vines poked out and pointed, as if staring at Stardust.

Stardust stepped back, he took in a deep breath, "I'm not going to harm anything, I just wanted to check inside the room to see if there's anything inside I can use for my research." He said slowly, trying not to appear threatening. Though he mentally chuckled at the fact that he was talking to vines, but he had done crazier things before.

The vines gave a glance to one-another before slowly turning back to him. As if happy to see somepony, a couple vines wrapped around his arms, while another few pulled the door open.

"Alright, well... thank you for letting me in." Stardust smiled, looking around at the vines as he walked forward into the room.

Though he stopped and all sense of the purpose he had come here for had faded as he saw the large tree in the center of the room. Now the thought of this conscious plant life intrigued him and he looked back at the vines, quickly trying to trace them back to their source.

The room was a jungle after all these years. Though it was less destroyed than the rest of the castle, there were still signs of age and cracks in the wall. There were plants, flowers, and many flora littering the ground and wall. Knowing all the destruction that occured here, the fact that such life has retaken hold and given a gentle harmony to this once great structure, brought some happiness to Stardust. Tracing the vines back he saw them coming from inside the tree. At least, that's what it looked like. Stardust put his hand on the tree, tracing his hand down the trunk to the start of one of the vines. His heart skipped a beat at the strangest feeling. The tree was cool, not surprising. But part of the tree was warm, beating, breathing. In fact, the vine was between the cold and hot parts of the tree. The closer he examined it, the more he started to think that the warm part of the tree wasn't actually a tree. The way it bulged from the trunk showed more an outline of another pony. That hypothesis was confirmed as two white eyes opened, staring silently back at Stardust.

Stardust stumbled back, staring wide-eyed at the pony. His mouth fell open, "Oooh... my..." He mumbled, looking the pony up and down. He then took a few cautious steps forward.

The two white eyes amongst the tree were accompanied by a toothy grin. Each tooth triangular, reminding Stardust of a shark. The teeth appeared like the Cheshire Cat, except more terrifying.

Stardust froze up for a moment as his eyes darted all over. "Oookay..." He muttered, stepping back slightly.

The rest of the pony's body faded in slowly. His body was a light, mossy green. The long hair he wore was dark, grassy green, and flowed down to the middle of his back, and some in front of the shoulders down to the bottom of his chest. The entire floor around him were slithering vines, all leading to his body. The pony's waist and below was buried beneath the squirming surface. "What brings you to my humble abode?" His gentle voice cooes.

"Well... I was looking for anything that could have helped me with research..." Stardust started, "But... I mean, this, is just so much better!" He said, smiling widely.

"Oh you flatterer!" The strange pony waved his hand as if telling Stardust to stop.

"I've never seen anyone like you before..." Stardust said, slowly stepping forward and studying the strange pony, "Do you happen to have a name?" He asked.

"I'm Ash. Who is the handsome pony I have the pleasure of welcoming?" Ash beamed and ushered Stardust to come and sit beside him.

"I'm Stardust." Stardust introduced himself, sitting down beside Ash. "It's nice to meet you." He started.

"What brings a beautiful stallion like yourself to an old, decrepit castle like this?" Ash mused, his tendrils slowly making themselves at home around Stardust's arms, legs, waist, chest...

"Well... um..." Stardust muttered, glancing between the tendrils and Ash, "Are... you..." He started slowly, tilting his head. "Coming onto me?" He finished.

"Oh! Dear me, I'm sorry. It's been years since anypony has come through here. I suppose I'm just longing to be close to somepony." Ash's voice was blanketed in embarrassment, the swarm of tentacles starting to retract from Star's body.

Stardust let out a long sigh, "Okay... sometimes I just get confused." He laughed, "It's fine, I don't mind them." He assured, smiling at Ash, pulling the tentacles back in. "It's actually kind of nice."

Ash's smile returned in full, nearly double the amount of slithering appendages moving to keep Stardust company. "As I was saying... what brings you here? I can most likely help you find something."

I actually came looking for anything that could help me further understand my magic... just anything that will help me understand how to better control it would help." Stardust sighed. "It's kinda hard to explain... because I don't even know what I'm looking for, I think it might just be anything written left behind or any books hidden in here... anything could really help."

"Perhaps I could help. I'm old enough to understand most types of magic. Though I'm not particularly specialized." Ash smiled, scooting closer to Stardust excitedly.

"Hm... well I draw power from the sun... and it helps me cast a lot of magics... but so do the moon and stars... it's sort of awkward because inside anywhere... I'm powerless besides my own strength." Stardust explained, "That's about as much as I've figured out now... and I've been trying to find out as much as possible."

Ash cocked his head curiously. A tendril slithered over to the windows and uncovered them. The moonlight shone in onto Stardust's body. Ash gave him a smile. "There! Just so you feel safer around me."

"Oh, thank you." Stardust smiled, "I already felt safe around you though, cutie." He laughed, looking up at Ash. "If I could know, how old are you?"

The pony tapped a finger to his chin and hummed. "Well, I believe I turned ten thousand and three only a few weeks ago."

"W... what you turned... ten thousand and three?" Stardust said slightly startled. "That's... um wow..." He mumbled.

"My niece Celestia hadn't even been born yet." Ash giggled lightly.

"P-Princess Celestia is your niece?" Stardust gasped.

"Did you know that the Sun Princess isn't passed down? Before Celestia and Luna, the sun and moon had their own cycles. Days and nights were much longer." Ash speaks as if from memory.

"I didn't know that." Stardust shook his head. "That's interesting to hear though."

"Oh yeah! Just like how Everfree clouds have their own kind of will... that's just a glimpse of what it was like back then. Before alicorns, before Pegasi could change the weather." Ash nods, his tendrils around Star tightening in a more loving manner. "Ponies are capable of such wonderful magic... such beautiful art."

"I agree... what some ponies can do is absolutely amazing." Stardust nodded, relaxing even more. "This entire world is just perfect..." He sighed, "I wish I could understand it all..."

"If it's knowledge you seek, I can tell you anything I know. I have eidetic memory. I remember every book I've ever read, even those that were destroyed at the birth of Nightmare Moon." Ash reached over and cupped Stardust's cheek, gently sliding his thumb back and forth along Star's cheek in a soothing motion.

Stardust laughed quietly, "Where's the fun in having someone tell you everything? I know there are somethings impossible for me to find out myself, and I'll concede learning that from someone, but for everything else... I'd rather find it out myself." He said, "So... thank you for the offer, I might ask you about somethings later... specifically those books, but for now... I just want to learn to better control my magic for the moment."

"Well, if your magic is anything like Celestia's, perhaps you should read the same books they did when they were growing up." Ash's face lit up. Two of his appendages darted away, slipping three books from the surprisingly intact bookshelf between Luna and Celestia's old beds. The first book was titled "Solar Powered Masteries", the second was "Moonlight Magic", and the final was named "Constellations, And The Truth Behind Them".

"Wow... this... is amazing!" Stardust said his smile growing wider. "I didn't actually think there'd be something like this! Thank you so much! Is there anything I can do to repay you for this?"

"Well, it's been awhile since I've left home. Perhaps you can show me to yours?" Ash combed some hair behind Stardust's ear as he spoke, his voice as soft and gentle as always.

"Alright, just um, I hope you aren't one of those prudes... I just really like to be naked. But it's sort of hard around town... most ponies don't like it when I even lay out on my roof." Stardust said. "If you don't mind that then you're welcome to come stay at my home!"

"Oh I bet you're hard all over town." Ash waggled his eyebrows playfully.

"Mmm, I tend to stay inside when that happens... it takes hours to go down." Stardust waved off. "And the guard is just full of prudes... it's like they can't handle a stallion trying to be himself." He laughed.

"I personally don't mind. I don't know if you've noticed, but..." Ash leaned over and whispered, "I'm not wearing anything."

"Well, I didn't know that... most of your body is hidden underneath those tentacles." Stardust said.

"Mm yes it is. Unfortunately I have no clothes. So I guess this will have to do." Ash stood up to his feet. Every tendril in the room started to whip back, retracting into his body. Enough tendrils stayed, flattening out and wrapping around his lower half. The flattened tentacles seemed to meld together and change colors, looking like a silky smooth pair of green dress pants.

"Oh... well uuuh..." Stardust said as he stood up, his shorts already torn completely off. "I um sort of got excited at the thought of someone who doesn't care if I'm nude." He laughed quietly.

Ash grinned, some more tendrils wrapping around Stardust's waist and legs. The same happened, forming a pair of pants. This time, the color was a bright alabaster. Star could only blink in amazement. Though, one tendril from his pants was connected to Ash as to maintain the form.

"Um, thank you." Stardust said, his amazement growing. "How did you know I liked white?"

"My chameleon ability mimics my thoughts. Touching you, it picked up on your interests and

"You just keep getting more and more interesting." Stardust mused. "Well... um why don't we head to town?" He asked scooping up the books Ash had given him just a bit ago.

"Lead the way big boy." Ash winked. Stardust felt something spank his left cheek. Though Ash's hands were by his side, Star felt like he knew what it was.

"Just follow me..." Star said, smiling back at Ash as he lead the way, to town.

Stardust opened up the door to his home and motioned Ash inside. "Here we are." He said.

Ash walked in, the tentacle connecting the two yanking Stardust inside too and retracting so their hips were touching side-by-side. Ash wrapped an arm around Star and looked around the living room. "Heee... it's really warm in here." Ash practically purred.

"You are really frisky... aren't you handsome?" Stardust teased, slowly tracing a finger up Ash's chest.

It wasn't until now that Stardust saw just how tall the ten foot creature in front of him was. "I just want what I like. And I like you, my sweet." Ash leaned down and slowly licked Star's neck. Stardust gasped as the feel of his tongue was like the shock of a jellyfish. Though it wasn't unpleasant…

"Mmmm... what was that?" Star inquired. "Are you trying to poison me now?" He joked, nuzzling Ash's chest.

"Just a little motivator. Now what's say you take me on a tour of your home?" Ash's tendrils retracted, both pairs of pants unraveling. His flaccid shaft hadn't even begun to swell, yet it was as thick as his fist, and hung down to his knees. Ash tenderly pet Stardust as the smaller pony gazed upon the pent up, ungodly pair of watermelons between Ash's legs. Whether it had been years between certain activities , or if Ash was just that much of a stud, Stardust hadn't the faintest idea. But the scent that hit Star's nose was that of fresh honey. Whatever he was injected with was really making this all that much more overwhelming.

"Wh... a-a..." Star could barely mumble as his eyes were locked on Ash's crotch. "T-that sounds good..." He muttered, his own cock beginning to slowly swell, though it only reached half-mast, which frustrated him a little bit. His size was much smaller than Ash's though it was nearly at half his five foot stature, rivaling his short size, though his balls were much smaller, being just a bit bigger than they normally would be.

Ash leaned in and whispered, "How's about you show me your room?" He slowly gave Stardust's neck another lick in the same exact spot. The area was much more tender, making him feel every single individual taste bud as they shocked with thousands and thousands of tiny little aphrodisiac laced needles full of pure liquid love, transfering into Star's blood and boiling it. The heat rising in Star's groin was all that scorching blood pumping through his veins, each cell full of mind bending, lust addling ecstasy.

"Y-yees..." Star nodded, "J-just... up here..." He said, grabbing Ash's hand and showing a strength that seemed disproportionate to his size. He pulled him up the stairs and into a large open room, a large glass roof going over the ceiling opening directly up to the night sky. A rather large bed sat in the center of the room, the only other furniture was a single wardrobe off to the side. "H-here we are..." He panted out, his cock now straining at full size and it seemed very painful for him.

Ash guided Star to the bed and sat the pony down. Stardust let out a quivering gasp as his rigidness disappeared down Ash's gullet. The plant-like pony devoured the entire shaft, making Star forget the rows of razor sharp shark teeth. In fact, he didn't feel a single one touch his genitals. The only thing he felt was the constant, endless hands he felt. Millions of tiny hands giving his cock a deep tissue massage. Each delicate hand was pumping the cock full of his orgasmic venom.

Star could barely shake as pleasure rocked his entire body. "Nnnaaahhh..." HE moaned loudly, grinding against Ash's face. "I neeeed... this..."

Ash closed his eyes, his mind spinning. He was falling in love faster than Star was. The simple act of pleasing another pony was one of his own wet dreams. The simple fact that not seconds into the act that Stardust was melting like putty between his fingers, it made Ash's heart flutter. It also made his own blood start to flow. His tongue lapped at Star's sack, the druglike saliva slowly coating each testicle and making them throb with their own productive heartbeat.

Star quivered even more, his entire body giving out as he went limp on the bed, unable to comprehend all the pleasure he was feeling from the drugs now coursing through his veins along with the incredibly skilled stallion giving him a blowjob.

Ash started it slow. More of Stardust's shaft became visible and open to the outside air. Yet, Star couldn't tell the difference. The feeling of those countless hands stayed, groping and massaging every inch as the stimulating saliva drips from the glistening stallionhood, lingered on. Soon enough, Star's cock was sheathed in his throat again, making those vibrating palms return in full force.

"Haaah... you're... the best ever..." Star groaned shivering audibly. "I don't think I can go back..."

Opening his eyes, Ash looked up and gave Star a wink.

"You know what big boy... why don't you give me a chance to give you a little something back?" Star suggested.

Ash pulled Star from his mouth with a pop! Even though he had stopped, Stardust still felt as if the blowjob was continuing, and getting stronger... better.

"Come on big boy... you g-_gaah_-t a taste... now it's my turn..." Star squirmed, moaning loudly.

"If you insist." Ash stood up, his head tilted to the side with a set of bedroom eyes, and a come-hither stare. Several of tendrils revealed themselves, spinning Star around and dangling his head off the foot of the bed. Stardust was now face-to-face with two massive cum tanks, the ungodly mass of cock on his chin, neck, and chest.

Star buried his face in Ash's nuts, licking, kissing, and nibbling on them as his hands began to slide and grope the massive shaft that was being hugged against his body.

Unseen to Star, Ash had that cheshire grin on his face. "Want to know something fun?" Ash's shaft was already starting to drool. Though instead of a clear pre, the only thing flowing was cum. Actual, unnaturally thick, honey scented cum.

"Go ahead..." Star said as he gulped down the cum, making sure to lick it off of the thick shaft and massive balls that he was so enamored with.

"Each of my tendrils has it's own venom. But they also double as another breeding tool. And they each have their own reproductive system. But when not in use, those reproductive organs produce directly for... well." Ash purred, grinding his sack into Star's face for emphasis. The smothered pony felt just how thick and productive the mighty pouch was, churning and throbbing it's own heartbeat.

"Mmm, that must really make you the life of the party..." Star panted, nuzzling the large sack. "You're going to be an absolute hit around town..." He kissed the shaft and ran his tongue right around the base, his hands squeezing as much of the large testicles underneath as they could. "But first..." He mumbled, slowly working his way up the large shaft, giving Ash a show of how flexible Star really was.

"Ohhh! Somepony knows what he wants." Ash's cock gave a hard throb, expelling a large glob of cum from the tip.

Star ran his tongue around as much of the shaft as he could, his hands now running all over the tip, massaging and teasing Ash as he coaxed more of the cum out. "I get what I want... and I want to see you actually cum..." He breathed as he kissed Ash's chest once before going back to kissing and licking his massive cock.

"You won't be waiting long. It's been so long since I've... ahn..." Ash groaned deeply, sliding his hips back. The constantly drooling tip was now hovering above Stardust's mouth.

"Oooh, not yet... I still need you inside of me..." Star growled, squirming, "You had better not cum outside of me... I won't forgive you if you do!" He squeezed Ash's shaft tightly, "Do you understand me?"

"Ah!" Ash yelped, his extraordinarily long tongue slithering out and dangling from his mouth. "Yes master!"

Star managed to right himself, very quickly yanking Ash down onto the bed, forcefully putting him on his back. Now Star was hovering above Ash, his own throbbing cock now releasing a solid stream of pre onto the large stallion, though Star had little care for that as he was now holding his ass just above Ash's cock. "Oooh, this is gonna be good..." He groaned, before slowly lowering himself onto the pole that was just as tall as he was. He pressed back into Ash's chest, forcing himself down as far as he could go. "Gaaah..."

The cock was lubed with the fountain of potency that had utterly soaked it in white. The ancient pony below was panting, his face was the burning red of a forest fire. Though he was many millennia old, Stardust was turning him into the equivalent of a virgin who found his way into a threesome, and he was invited.

"E-_aah_-njoying yourself?" Star breathed, pushing down even more. "Oooh, cause I know I am..."

"Ye-aaah! Thank you for your kindness master. I'm so lucky to have you!" Ash said with a mixture of a moan, and a gasp. Stardust gazed down at Ash, the plant pony's lips looking very appealing. Especially knowing what that tongue of his can do... he was beginning to get curious.

"Come on big boy... you have to show me what you want... and you have to take it..." Star breathed, motioning the plant pony up, his arms opened up for him.

Ash eagerly sat up and wrapped his arms around Star. Ash's usual grin was replaced by a smile the bled both happiness, nervousness, anxiety, and love. Their lips interlocked, sending a hard shiver down their spines. Ash and Stardust's tongues intertwined with one another. Ash felt his heart soar again, cock increasing it's production of cum. The gentle stream of thick lubricant sped up, and Ash was happy. Stardust, on the other hand, felt the next injection in full. As if drinking from the source, his entire body became super sensitive. Every inch of his flesh became an erogenous, stimulating his prostate and sexual organs with the lightest of brushes. Star became aware of muscles and placed he didn't know he could feel. The massive cock inside him became that much more noticeable. Every spot inside him could feel the cock he was impaled on. He was feeling it in places he'd never felt before. He was super aware of every detail, every throbbing vein... every blob of cum slowly filling his body. It kept building, and building, and building! Until he could feel that cum leaking out of his ass, coating Ash's cock and Star's own sack.

Star moaned loudly into Ash's mouth pushing harder against his lips, his eyes rolling back into his head. His cock twitched violently a few times as he shot out a large amount of cum all over Ash's chest, though he remained just as hard if not growing harder by the second.

Ash pulled back, hugging Star's head to his chest. Quickly, Ash was on top, and Star's back hit the bed. The tall stallion gave his first thrust inside. In a simple move of Ash's hips, the cock had unsheathed and rammed itself back to the hilt.

Star gasped into Ash's chest, letting out a small squeak as he nuzzled into the stronger ponies' chest. "Yeeeessss... fuck meeee haaard!" He moaned, "Pleaaaseeee!"

Ash was nearly drunk with pleasure, focused entirely on pleasuring his mate. His snake like tongue slithered down Star's body, making a trail as it's electric stings spreading from where the tongue touched and outwards. It reached Stardust's cock and coiled around the tip, spiraling down to Star's sack. The tongue tightened like a chinese finger trap every time Ash tugged upward.

Star's mouth fell open as his cock twitched once again, this time shooting his thick seed right onto Ash's tongue giving him a full taste of his mate. Star was simply clinging to Ash's large body riding out wave after wave of pleasure as his ass was brutally destroyed, he was damn sure his entire body would be aching tomorrow but it was definitely going to be worth every second of it. "Oooh, please... destroy me... make me yoooouuuursss..." He groaned, his ass tightening desperately around Ash's shaft, squeezing it tighter than anything had before. "Fill me up... pleaaseee..."

Ash was already starting to swell with seed. The already massive trunk was twitching a dozen times a second. With the taste of Star's cum in his mouth, Ash's tongue whipped up and retracted. The animalistic thrusts knocked the wind from Stardust's lungs with each push. Ash gave a wild snarl, his predatory sharp teeth bit into Stardust's pillow, tearing it in half like a bear on autopilot.

Star quivered violently and nuzzled further into Ash's chest, grinding his hips down against Ash's shaft nearly begging him to cum. "D-don't hold back..." He pleaded, "Cum inside of me... fill me up..."

All at once Stardust felt Ash cum. And gods was it an orgasm to remember. Not only did the venom make him able to internally feel every inch of the magical cock stuffed inside, but he could feel just how hot the cum was as the first blast came out. His belly surged rapidly outward, and goodness was it hot. His insides literally burned, but it felt so good! The speed of it pouring out around Ash's cock, yet still having the speed and power to bloat the smaller stallion's midsection.

Stardust could barely eep out a moan as he quivered underneath Ash, his own orgasm coming out in full force, splashing once again in between them. "Ooooh yeeeesssss...." He moaned, closing his eyes as his tongue fell out of his mouth and dangled freely as the cum flooded through his entire body.

Ash let out a long sigh, his endless orgasm continuing on. His swollen sack didn't seem to reduce in size in the slightest. Perhaps he really was just that productive! Ash cuddled Stardust closely as he continued to fill the smaller pony. He kissed Star's forehead, lightly peppering his face withs kisses and gentle stimulating licks.

"Oooh gods... I love you so much..." Stardust mumbled, nuzzling Ash. He quivered once again, his eyes slowly beginning to flutter shut. "Ooh... you're... so perfect..."

That large, cheshire grin was back again. Ash raked his fingers through Star's hair. "You are the best thing that's happened to me in a thousand years... thank you so much..." Ash whispered.

"I'm glad that you feel that way..." Stardust sighed, tightening the hug he had around Ash. "And you're more than welcome to stay as long as you want..."

Ash looked down and blushed. He saw the massive bloated belly, looking like twins were in there. "Oh gosh... I'm sorry." He bit his lip, clearly embarrassed at what he'd done.

"Oh it's fine... I'm sure I can figure out a way to force the bloating down. With you around it'll be a necessity." Star laughed, gently tapping the end of Ash's nose, "Honestly, don't you worry about me." He kissed Ash.

Ash beamed, hoisting Stardust up and walking the still-impaled pony to the bathroom. Several tendrils extended, closing the door, turning on the shower, and sliding the glass door open.

"Mmm, gonna wash me up are you?" Stardust teased, "You know how to treat a stallion." He giggled.

Ash licked Star's cheek. Instead of pleasure coursing through him, he was hit with a gentle splash of love. All his muscles that were sore and achey started to relax.

"Mmmaaaah... how many venoms do you have?" Star asked as he relaxed into Ash's chest.

"As long as some flower or plant can produce it, so can I. At least, if I can find that flower." Ash giggled and stepped into the shower with Star in his arms. "Can I be honest with you, Stardust?"

"Be as honest as you want." Stardust said, looking up at Ash.

Ash's face started to redden again. "I don't mean to rush things, even though we've already had sex. I just... well, wanted to say..."

"You wanted to say..." Stardust grinned, looking Ash in the eyes.

"Maybe it's just the loneliness talking, but I... I don't want to be alone anymore." Ash said to him as if he was begging.

Stardust smiled widely, "Ash..." He started, quietly laughing.

"I love you... please tell me you love me." Ash was shaking, hugging Stardust as if it was going to be the last.

"I love you Ash." Stardust kissed Ash. "I love you so much..."

Ash returned the kiss, closing his eyes tightly and opening his mouth. He wanted Stardust to be in control and use him. Star could tell what Ash was doing. Ash wanted to make Stardust happy. He wanted to make sure that Star would be so happy in this relationship that Stardust wouldn't want to leave. Star felt sad, happy, confused, loved... The fact Ash truly loved him this much was almost more than Stardust could handle.

Stardust pulled back from the kiss and nuzzled Ash's neck, "It's going to be really nice to not be alone every night." He sighed happily, cuddling against the plant pony. "Especially with somepony as big and strong as you." He chuckled. "Why don't we get cleaned up and maybe we can cuddle up while the night is still young." He suggested, looking up at Ash.

Ash unsheathed himself slowly. Immediately Star felt all that cum stuffed inside groan and start flowing back down through his body.

"Aaaah~" Stardust moaned quaking in Ash's arms. "Oooh... it's so different going back out..."

"Just let it all out. My sweet little pony. I love you."

Star closed his eyes and pressed his head into Ash's neck. He pushed his own chest against Ash's as well, forcing out as much of the cum as he could get out of his body.

It was much quicker coming out. Ash gently raked his fingers through Star's wet mane, gently trying to sooth him as the event was finally over.

"Oooh this... is really going to take some getting used to... but it feels so good." Star cooed softly.

"That could be every day. You beautiful, amazing creature." Ash whispered. His swarm of tentacles were beginning to flood out again, wrapping around Stardust to keep the pony warm and cuddled.

"You're going to make all of my future plans difficult..." Stardust sighed, his smile growing again. "I just keep loving you more as the seconds go by."

"You know... I came inside you. I think it's only fair if I return the favor." Ash said in a sultry tone.

"Mmm, I might be nowhere near as big as any previous partner's you've had big boy... are you sure you want me to even try to pleasure you the way you pleasured me?" Star raised an eyebrow, staring right at Ash.

"Oh silly, you have it backwards. Having me fuck you was pleasurable for me. You fucking me? It's all for you... you're all I care about." Ash cooed softly, nuzzling his face to Stardust's cheek.

"Please... you act like that fucking... well then I guess I'm going to have to show you what love making is." Star grinned widely.

Ash giggles like a school filly and kisses Stardust, climbing on top. Star's heart skipped a beat as their tongues touched. The venom this time was like the original, except much more potent. His whole body started to heat up, making his blood boil. His stallionhood started swelling, but it didn't stop. It was nearly twice the size it was before, feeling extremely puffy and swollen. Even his undersized sack felt like it was filling more and more. Whatever Ash was doing, it was making him feel even more masculine.

Star pulled back and squirmed down from Ash's grip, "Alright, now... you just need to make this easier for me. I am a lot smaller than you." He said, motioning for Ash to kneel down.

Ash kneeled down and pressed Star's new enlarged size prod Ash's backdoor. "Ohh like this?" Ash cooed.

Star placed his hands on Ash's ass, groping and squeezing his flesh as he slowly pressed his dick into Ash. "Yeessss..." Star hissed, pushing himself in closer. "Just like this..." He breathed out giving a small thrust inward, taking his time in inching forward into the larger stallion, the warm pulsating walls around him clenched down even harder.

The two had shifted slightly. Ash was on his hands and knees, and Stardust was kneeling behind him. "Ohh this was worth the walk." Ash hummed in a sultry tone. Several tentacles coiled up Stardust's legs. The tendrils started massaging his sack, while one more prodded his ass.

"Oooh, I expected to have a tentacle shoved down my dick now... but this works just as well..." Star joked, pushing into Ash even more as he reached around and pushed the tentacle into his own ass. He gave Ash's ass a slap as he finally hilted himself. "Mmm there we go my love..." He breathed out enjoying the feeling of being inside the warm ass of his new plant lover.

Ash let out a yelp, followed by a fit of laughter. Stardust felt something inside Ash's ass. Something moving. It was as if the same tentacles were slithering about inside him. They were coiling around his cock as he thrusts. Not only did Star have to pay attention to the already great tightness his ass was giving, but he was receiving a constant massage from the inside.

"Ooookay... keep that up and you'll get your first blast really soon..." Star moaned loudly as he pulled slowly back.

Tentacle after tentacle slipped out, wrapping around every inch of Stardust's body they could find. The one at his puckered hole pushed in, inch after inch disappearing inside Star's body.

"Aaah, so amazing..." Stardust moaned loudly, slamming himself balls deep into Ash again. "Oooh I won't be able to take my time with you now..." He grunted, slowly beginning to fuck Ash in earnest.

"If you think you're only gonna cum once, you should go a little faster." Ash shot a wink back at him, occasionally timing his hips to thrust back, making their hips slap together powerfully.

"Ooh honey, you have no idea how many times I'm going to cum..." Stardust laughed, reaching down and squeezing Ash's balls as he slammed in harder. "Mmm now that I'm in control and you pumped me full of your venom... we're going to be here for hooouuuurs ..."

Ash clamped his teeth together. Stardust felt something sticky on his feet. Glancing down, he saw cum spreading across the floor. Ash's tongue was dangling out, hanging limp as he came. All the tentacles had bulges the size of golf balls traveling down each one. Stardust's entire body was being coated by each tendril's seed. The one inside him made each of those cum bulges stretch him wide, rippling through his insides and prostate before ending in blast after blast of warmth.

"En-njoying yourself?" Star panted, thrusting in harder as he shot his own seed deep into Ash's body, an incredible amount pouring outward. "Oooh, you're definitely going to be filled by the time I'm done..."

Ash went limp, his body slumping forward, but his rear still glued to Star's crotch. His face mashed itself into the sticky floor as his insides groped and milked Stardust's cock for all it had.

"Nnn-aaah... good boy..." Stardust moaned, pulling himself back before thrusting violently back in. "Oooh come on..."

"Enjoying y-yourself bahaack there?" Ash gave a guttural groan. His cock and all the many tendrils were already starting to twitch again due to Stardust's pace.

"Oooh, you have no idea..." Stardust said, "If this is what love feels like then I'm never letting you leave me..." He cooed, giving Ash's ass a slap as he roughly thrust in again, another load being pumped into him, though now that the first one was out of the way Star just kept going with no signs of slowing down.

Ash's grin returned in full, his tongue slipping out again. Star's cum oozed out around his cock, having forced so much in that it was finally starting to seep from it's prison. The tentacles wrapped around Stardust all started to release their own love onto his body. Star's orgasm had a tendency to start a chain reaction between the rest.

"Mmnnn, keep filling me up like that..." Star breathed out, squeezing Ash's hips as he ground against the ass he was buried so happily in. He grunted quietly as he slowly began to pull out, though this time he didn't seem like he was stopping.

Ash just attempted to catch his breath, his tendrils lovingly squeezing Star's limbs and body as tenderly as possible.

Star wrapped his arms around Ash, pulling him down onto the shower floor as he cuddled with the large plant pony.

"Ohh! Now you're spoiling me." Ash curled up against Stardust and nuzzled him closely.

"You deserve it for being so absolutely perfect." Stardust said. "You deserve everything I could possibly give you."

Ash snaked his lips up to Star's, their tongues once again mingling in the other's mouth. Waves of tingling spread through their bodies, but not due to any venom. This was just pure love... and they both had much of it to share.

Star pushed into the kiss, tightening his grip on Ash. He pulled back for a moment to stare into Ash's pure white eyes. "I love you Ash." He stated. "I love you more than anything."

Blushing, Ash waved him away. "Ohh staahp." He said shyly.

"You know I can't." Star grinned, kissing Ash once again.

Ash was on top of Star, encasing Stardust and himself in a cocoon of tendrils as their bodies intertwined.

"Mmm you're going to keep the both of us nice and warm aren't you?" Star laughed, nuzzling Ash's cheek.

Ash purred lightly at Star's actions. With their bodies pressed together as the cocoon finished, a wave of sleep started to wash over them. The urge to cuddle only grew stronger between the two, both ponies grinding themselves together.

"Sleep tight my sweet..." Star mumbled sleepily as he passed out, cuddling right up against Ash.

The Next Morning:

Star's eyes slowly peeked open as he awoke, now he found himself still cuddled up against the large plant pony, but he was in his bed. Though vines were still entirely encasing his body.

Stardust found he had more flexibility than he thought. Whenever he moved, the vines shifted to let him free. But whenever he scooted back, the vines welcomed him back to their embrace.

He slowly sat up, looking down at the sleeping Ash with an overjoyed smile on his face.

The first bit of white Stardust saw were Ash's teeth, forming that all-too-familiar smile. Then his eyes opened to meet him. "Best sleep I've ever had." Ash rolled over onto his stomach and stretched his arms out.

"The same for me... it's amazing to not sleep alone." Star grinned, wrapping his arms around Ash. "I absolutely love you."

Ash slithered around to face Stardust, hugging the smaller pony tightly with both arms and a mess of tendrils. "I wonder what today entail?" Ash mused, pecking a kiss to Star's forehead.

"Well with you regardless of what it is, it'll be fun." Star said, "Hmm, maybe I could show you around town? That'll be interesting."

"Well, luckily for you, I don't have any clothes. Why lucky for you? Well..." Ash gave a glance to his own body before focusing back on him with a wink.

"Mmm, I already know how lucky I am handsome." Star laughed, squeezing closer to Ash.

"How about you tell me some of the sights we'll be seeing. Besides you of course." Ash kissed him on the lips this time. This kiss went on much longer, and was far more passionate. When it finally ended, both of them were nearly out of breath.

"I was thinking maybe we should go get something to eat... I know a great place right near by too." Star panted, staring deeply into Ash's eyes. "Then... maybe we could attempt to get you in to meet Princess Twilight Sparkle, if you'd like."

"That sounds like fun! What would we do with her?"

"Well... I assume that'd be up to her." Star shrugged. "I'm sure she'll be really eager to learn about you though."

Ash hopped up from bed, leaving Star behind on the bed. "Well let's go! You've opened a new world for me, and we're gonna explore it all!"

"Alrighty then! Just give me a minute and I'll meet you downstairs." Star smiled, as he hopped up from the bed.

"Here we are, Princess Twilight Sparkle's ho-castle-thing. I don't really know what to call it... I mean it's a giant crystal treehouse." Star chuckled as he and Ash approached the structure. "Now, let's attempt to get a meeting with her."

Ash was busy playing with the zipper in his jeans, sliding it up, then down, then up...

"Were you even listening at all?" Star sighed, shaking his head.

Ash glanced up at Star, completely oblivious aside from the sigh. He smiled, hugging Stardust from behind and pecking a kiss to his cheek.

"Alright... like I was saying, we now just need to get you in to see Princess Twilight." Star smiled, looking back at Ash.

"Is that possible? Being a princess can't be easy. She's probably too busy for us." Ash seemed to slump down on Star's back. He seemed almost as if talking from experience with a certain niece.

"Oh, I'm sure it'll be possible." Star assured, "So long as she isn't out with her friends saving the world." He laughed, "She currently only presides over Ponyville." Star explained. "And like I said, once she even sees you, she'll want to learn more about you. Now come on. If all else fails I have my ways of getting in... though we'll have to go to someone else."

The gates to the castle were open, foreign ponies scattered about with their own conversations in the many halls of Twilight's castle. "This place is gorgeous! Much more polished than my home." Ash gave the hall a triple rotation of his gaze.

"It is very beautiful." Star nodded. "I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to explore it in just a bit though, first we need to head to the throne room." He tugged Ash alongside him.

Ash stumbled with Star's grasp and quickly scurried to his side again. When they entered the throne room, surprisingly, Twilight was actually sitting in her throne. She looked as if she was reading some papers, signing and writing, the usual technicals.

Star took in a deep breath, "Good morning, Princess Twilight." Star greeted, bowing.

Ash's ears perked up. His eyes locked to Twilight, staring mesmerized at the mare. "Whoa." He mumbled.

"Oh, good morning Stardust." Twilight sighed, "What brings you here tod-" She paused for a few moments as she looks up. She put the papers she had down, "Hello there..." She started, staring back at Ash, equally as mesmerized as he was. She slowly tilted her head as she looked Ash up and down.

"Princess, I'd like you to meet Ash." Star introduced Ash. "Ash, I'd like you to meet Princess Twilight Sparkle."

Not a single tentacle was out. Ash didn't want to startle anypony, but right now he had found his new interest. With a quick stride up to Twilight, the near nine foot pony took Twilight's hand and smiled. "The pleasure is mine." Ash cooed warmly.

Star simply rolled his eyes.

"Mmm, quite the charmer aren't you." Twilight laughed, smiling up at Ash. "It's very nice to meet you."

"My neice has spoken of her pupil, but that was long ago. I had no idea you had come so far. It's truly an honor to meet you." He kissed the back of Twilight's hand, his pupiless eyes still gave the princess the warm gaze of his eyes upon hers.

"Your niece?" Twilight inquired, before nearly a moment later the thought hit her. "Um... oookay..." She took in a deep breath, she seemed to be a bit skeptical. "Sure... I'm going to just assume you have some way to prove that." She raised an eyebrow.

Ash straightened up, bringing a hand to his chin. "Can you get a letter to her?"

"I can." Twilight nodded. "Though what would I send her in said letter?"

"Ask her what her uncle's name is. And what she gave him on his birthday after she was coronated." Ash smiled, walking to an empty parchment on the large map that centered the room. With a nearby quil, he wrote down 'Welcome back uncle!'. He extended his arm, and a vine-like tendril grew from his arm. A large flower slowly bloomed, dropping a locket from it's depths and onto the parchment. "Send exactly what I said. This paper will stay here, along with the locket. If she remembers, this is exactly what her reply will be."

"Alright. I'll be right back then..." Twilight said, looking at Ash for a moment before she walked off into another room.

"Do you have anything else planned if Princess Celestia doesn't remember you?" Star asked.

"Hm... probably crying in a corner." Ash shrugged. "You?"

"Mmm, I don't know." Star shrugged. "Hopefully that doesn't happen though..."

Almost on cue Twilight walked back out of the room she was in, though she was now rubbing her temples. "Okay, that's just grand." She sighed, looking up at Ash. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you." She started. "It's just... well what you said was kind of hard to believe."

Smiling with a new sense of purpose, Ash slid across the room and back to Twilight. "Fantastic!" Ash whipped a tentacle out and snatched the locket back, disappearing with the appendage back into his body.

Twilight was just staring at Ash for a few moments, "Alright... tentacles check... Well this is going to be really interesting." She smiled up at him again.

Ash's arms shoot up into the air. "Woo! I'm interesting." He grins happily.

"I don't know very much about you so... why don't you start with telling me a little about yourself?" Twilight inquired. "How about we head up to my quarters it'll be cozier."

"That sounds delightful. Star, how bout we catch up later?" Ash glanced back and gave Stardust a wink.

"Alright, uuh have fun then." Star said as he left the throne room.

"Just follow me." Twilight said, leading Ash out as well. As she walked him back to her room she noticed that Celestia had written on the back of the letter. "Hm..." She mumbled to herself reading it to herself. 'I feel as though I should warn you, my uncle has... quite the drive. If you do anything at all with him, you won't be taking much of a break. The last time... well, I'm just going to put it this way, the entire town never was the same when they all got involved. One final thing that might be pertinent, his saliva almost always acts as a venom. Though it's never harmful unless he chooses it to be. So you should be quite safe from that though the aphrodisiac in it might be more than enough to set you or any other pony off. I do hope you both have fun though. And please do tell him, I'm coming for a visit now that he's back.' Twilight stumbled a little bit as her face turned a slight bit red, "Oookay then..." She muttered, glancing back at Ash for a moment. "So, um Ash..." She started.

"What is it Twilight?" Ash asked in a more friendly, humble tone.

: "Is there anything really important that I should know before we enter my room?" She asked.

"Whatever my neice has said about me, I assure you I have more self control. You're as much family to me as your young teacher, Celestia. If anything, I bow to your wisdom Princess." Ash smiled. His dark, grassy hair occasionally hung down to cover bits of his face. His hair always seemed to be brushed of any knots or tangles, always smooth and heavy. Beautiful to say the least.

"You're cute, you know that?" Twilight laughed, smiling at him. "And I wasn't trying to assume anything." She added.

"I pride myself on my temperament. Though Stardust... hoo boy, he's a handful." Ash chuckled, taking Twilight's arm in his and leading her in the manner any gentlecolt would.

"Yes he is. The guards just adore him." Twilight chuckled, rolling her eyes. "And that's not even mentioning the few stories I've heard about him. Some of the things he's done, it's like he's solar powered or something." She let out a sigh.

"I can tell just by the way you walk that you've been busy. You deserve a break." Ash stated, tightening his grip around her arm and pulling the mare a little closer to his body.

"You'd better watch yourself." She joked, her smile growing a bit more as she relaxed a bit more.

After a bit of walking, they reached Twilight's chambers. The rather luxurious room was decorated with everything a pony would expect from both a princess, and a book worm. "Your room is lovely. I take it you spend most of your free time reading?"

"What little I have anymore." Twilight sighed.

"Come now, right now we are free from chores. Talk to me." Ash requested. A tendril closed the door as he lead her to the bed.

"Well, I was hoping to learn a little more about you." Twilight said as she sat down on the bed.

"Well I, of course, am the brother of Celestia's father. Solaris was a great pony. I say was, but... I truly have no idea where he went. I spend many years alone trying to find him. It seems my isolation also drifted me from civilization, and from my neices." Ash frowned, looking out the window at the setting sun on the horizon.

"I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to catch up with them. Celestia is going to be coming here very shortly." Twilight said, looking up at Ash. "Now have a seat and stop moping." She ordered.

Ash's smile returned, giving Twilight a salute. "Yes ma'am." He chuckled, falling onto his back on the bed.

Staring up at the ceiling, Ash asked "So how long have you been a princess of this castle?"

"Four months now... and a lot has happened since I became a Princess." Twilight replied. "Whether it be Tirek coming back... or any number of other things. It's been a tiring few months."

"Even more reason to take the day off." Ash snapped his fingers and nearly a dozen tentacles surged forth, wrapping around her and pulling the princess into a prone position for him to snatch up and cuddle.

"Mmm, you're quite the cuddler, aren't you?" Twilight laughed. "There's a lot that I have to learn about you... and I'm going to really enjoy it."

"Now this is perfect." Ash purred, nestling his face into Twilight's hair. "I said I'd answer questions. So please, analyze me."

"Well... where do I begin..." Twilight sighed, cuddling back into the massive stallion. "First off... I want to know, what exactly are you?"

"Well, I wasn't always like this. I was a normal pony! I know, right?" He nudged her with a chuckle. "I was a court wizard alongside Solaris. In my spare time I was mostly his errand boy."

"Huh..." Twilight mumbled, already listening raptly to his story.

"While Solaris was fascinated with the stars, and the bodies that surrounded Equestria. He found the power to harness the power of both the sun, and the moon. He gifted these abilities to his daughters. And just as the pegasus learned to control the weather, ponies attained the ability to bend even the day and night to their whim." Ash continued.

"So... they had to learn how to control the sun and moon?" Twilight asked.

"Indeed. My brother found his calling in the stars. I, however, was more down to earth. The skies were beautiful, and powerful. But true beauty comes from the nature around us. And that is where I sought my passions."

"And you took it completely upon yourself." Twilight said.

"As nopony else would." Ash smiled, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. "There is so much you can learn from the wilds. There is more knowledge out there than in any library. When you learn to read the animals, the plants, the soil... you learn history. The world will tell you anything, so long as you know how to ask."

"That must be absolutely wonderful... being able to learn so much..." Twilight sighed quietly.

"Nature's roots reach along the very foundation of this world. If you take your eyes from your paper, and turn toward the trees they came from... they will tell you more than can fit on any piece of their bark or branches."

"I can only begin to imagine how much this entire planet would have to tell us..." Twilight closed her eyes.

"Perhaps I can teach you. If you're willing to learn." Ash mused. His warmth seemed to grow more intense as time passed.

"I'd love to learn." Twilight twisted around and looked at him with a smile.

"The simplest way to listen to nature requires you to relax. But I can tell you have stress pouring from you. Perhaps we can ease some of that tension." Ash cooed, gently stroking the alicorn's cheek.

"Um... alright..." Twilight said, slowly relaxing into Ash's body.

"Tell me princess. Have you ever had sex?" He decided to be blunt, a razor sharp grin plastered across his face.

"N-no I haven't..." Twilight muttered, her eyes widening for a moment. "You..." She started slowly. "I mean... you are... well hot..." She mumbled, "If..."

"There's nothing more natural than such carnal bliss." Ash continued, his breath now warming Twilight's face.

"O-okay." Twilight said, looking right into Ash's eyes. "I... we can do it then..." She breathed.

"I can make it painless. Let all your worries slip away, and breathe. Think of how it will feel. To be so vulnerable, exposed. Feel my heartbeat against yours."

"That'd be amazing..." She mumbled. "But first... shouldn't we take our clothes off?"

"Ohh right! Nearly forgot about that. These are the first pieces of clothes I've worn in many decades." Ash started to laugh. Though, the image of him walking naked through the town was all Twilight could think of.

"Umm... wow..." Twilight muttered, her face turning a bright red now.

Ash quite literally slithered off the bed and to his feet. He made short work of the shirt on his back, tossing it off to the side. His body was as perfect as she imagined. Not too bulky, but still with abs and pecs. Just enough to be smooth, yet strong all at the same time.

"Oooh..." Twilight mumbled dreamily, staring at Ash.

"See something you like?" Ash had his usual toothy grin on his face. His hands moved down to start undoing his jeans.

"I see a lot that I like..." Twilight purred quietly.

When the last of his clothes fell, she saw monstrously productive globes nearly the size of her head. Ash's shaft had already surged out as if it had already been trying to swell within the confinement of his jeans. Twilight's heart skipped a beat out of both fear and want. The width alone wouldn't fit in her mouth if she tried.

Twilight's eyes widened and she started to babble quietly. "A-are you sure that I can take that?" She asked quietly, her eyes taking in every inch of his shaft.

"We can start as small as you want." Ash said with a heavy-lidded, seductive gaze. A dozen tentacles slid from his body, all of different shapes and sizes. His toothy grin practically dripped with mischief.

"I... really didn't think about that..." Twilight said, "You have just... so many tentacles..."

Ash approached the bed again, falling forward onto his front. His head rested on his crossed arms, playfully kicking his legs behind as he gazed lazily up at the alicorn. "I think it's your turn, sexy." He mused.

"Right..." Twilight nodded, slowly standing up from the bed. She looked down at Ash for a moment before she slowly began to take off her own clothing. She was unsteady, mainly because she had never stripped in front of a stallion before. She started with her dress, removing it and letting it fall to the floor. Underneath was a lacy bra that had been custom made to comfortably contain her voluptuous F sized breasts. The bra and panties she had on blended in perfectly with her fur.

Ash gave a light grunt, shifting around on the bed as he gazed upon her less-clothed body. Twilight knew exactly why.

Twilight took in a deep breath and as she unhooked her bra her magic slowly slid her panties down. She looked back to Ash as her panties hit the ground, her face was now a beet red color.

Several tendrils hovered over Twilight. They wrapped around her waist, arms, legs, gently squeezing her and tugging toward the bed. "Relax. Come take a seat." He ushered her over.

Twilight walked towards the bed and sat down, she relaxed back onto the bed. She was staring at Ash and patiently waiting for him to make the first move.

Ash crawled between her legs, resting his head on Twilight's pussy. "Hello." He said, looking up past her breasts with a smile.

"Hi..." Twilight smiled down at him. "What are we going to do next?"

"Whatever you want Princess. I'm yours to use." Ash wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled her belly. He gave a gentle lick to her abdomen, making her whole body tingle.

"Mmm, using venom now are you?" She teased, motioning him up further.

Ash slithered up her body, dragging his tongue along with him. A trail of dark purple saliva was left behind. The substance seemed to bubble as it sank into Twilight's body. Once he reached her neck, the venom that was left in the valley of her breasts, it made both globes start to pulsate.

Twilight squirmed around a little bit. "Mmm, I'm going to guess you want a kiss now, big boy..." She said, looking into his eyes.

At this point, Ash's forehead was pressed against Twilight's. His many appendages were exploring her body, tenderly rubbing and squeezing the growing sensitivity of her body. "If that is what my Queen wants." Ash purred.

Twilight kissed Ash on the lips drawing him in even closer.

Every second that passed as their tongues wrestled, more of his venom sank into her own tongue. Like a sack of bricks hitting her, Twilight's entire body quaked beneath the massive pony's weight.

She moaned into his mouth slowly wrapping her arms around him.

A tendril the size of her finger slid down Twilight's back. It nestled itself between her plush cheeks and slip by her untouched ponut. It continued up and started to prod the quivering pussy above.

Twilight moaned a bit louder, pushing her hips down onto his tendril. She pulled back from his lips, "Oooh..." She mumbled, panting heavily.

The slender appendage spread her lips apart and slipped inside. The feel of the wriggling tentacle moving deeper, and deeper... it was so alien to her.

"So... aaah... strange..." Twilight moaned. "Keep... going..." She panted, squirming around on his tendril.

The small tentacle oozed a warm liquid, lathering her interior with it's warmth. A larger tendril appeared, this one the size of three, maybe four fingers. The outside was ribbed and looked almost like a very naughty sex toy.

Twilight quivered, letting out a slight whine at the sight of the new tendril, her legs spreading a bit more as if her body was demanding it be inside her.

The smaller one retreated, allowing the large one access. Smoothly, it forced it's way inside her lubricated passage at a rapid pace. Twilight let out a loud gasp and her eyes snapped shut.

"Ooooh yeeessshhhh ." She slurred as a jolt of pure pleasure shot up her body.

Ash's cock twitched, oozing it's thick cream between Twilight's breasts. "You feel fantastic." He cooed into her ear, giving the ear a sharp bite.

"T-thaaank... you..." Twilight eeped out, pressing closer to Ash. "This... feels... amazing..." She nuzzled into his neck.

"Just tell me when you think you're ready." Ash tilted her head to look down at the throbbing fountain of virility just a ways below Twilight's chin.

"G-go ahead..." Twilight said quietly, "I'm ready..."

Moving back, all tendrils slip from in and around Twilight's entrance. Now only his hardness rests, bubbling it's love down the pulsing lips.

Twilight's eyes met Ash's. “When you’re ready... put it in me." She said, squeezing him a bit tighter.

Ash sank his weight down further. The tip stretched her wider than she was expecting. Wider than anypony would expect. Rapidly slipping inside, she could feel every inch of it practically vibrating. Twilight could barely speak as her body quaked in ecstasy, every nerve in her body was reacting to the intense pleasure she was feeling. Soon Ash's cock was covered in her juices making his passage into her easier.

Ash licks his lips. He pressed his face into her neck and inhaled her scent. The warmth of his body amplified the pulses of pleasure radiating through her body. Even the slightest drop of his venom could put a mare in heat. Twilight had much more boiling her blood. With every heartbeat she felt the heated poison spreading through each vein. It was more intense than any battle she or her friends had ever fought. Her body was hit with pure white hot pleasure, every single nerve was more than set on fire. She quaked and could barely hang onto him. Her walls clenched down tightly on his massive throbbing pole, attempting to desperately milk his cock.

The druidic pony couldn't tell, but he was blushing. Every once of his being was trying to pleasure this mare like never before. All he could think about was how to make Twilight feel good. And the want he had for her embarassed him. "T-Twilight... I've, aah!" Ash grunted as he hilted himself inside her body. "Never felt this way about any mare or stallion. I... I don't know what to say."

"Y-you don't need to say anything..." Twilight whispered, pulling his head in. "I love you Ash..." She kissed him, drawing him into a deep and passionate kiss.

Ash squeezed his eyes shut. A few teardrops snuck their way out and dripped onto Twilight's cheeks.

Twilight squeezed him a bit more, cuddling in closer to his body. She pulled back, gently wiping away the tears. "You're... the most amazing pony I've ever met..." She said softly.

Ash's blush intensified. Twilight could feel the heat from his cheeks more profoundly than any other part of his body. His hands were raking through her hair and along Twilight's cheeks repeatedly, caressing and touching her as lovingly as possible. "You make the countless centuries I stayed alone worth the wait. I'd do it all again just for the pleasure of knowing you." Ash whispered with more honesty than she expected in his voice.

Tears formed in Twilight's eyes, "You won't ever have to wait again... just as long as you don't leave." She said, kissing him once again, this time drawing him into an even more passionate and heartfelt kiss. Her tongue sliding overtop of his as she tried to entwine with every part of his body.

Ash had the same idea. As many tendrils as he could make started wrapping around her limbs, her breasts, anywhere they could fit. A sweet scent filled Twilight's nose. At this point she could tell that it was pheromones that she was smelling. With every breath she took, it felt nicer and nicer for her body to be held. To be touched. To be rutted. Ash didn't even need to move anymore, the simple act of having him inside her body made the stretched walls start to quiver harder, and harder.

She moaned loudly into his mouth, her walls desperately massaged his length in an attempt to make Ash cum. It was almost as if her body needed him to cum inside of her, and fill her up.

Ash tensed up and let out a feminine moan that was almost out of his character. His sack tightened against her pussy as a wave of boiling cream was injected as deep as Twilight could take. The outline of his cock was on her belly, looking as if a condom was being filled endlessly as a bubble near the tip started to swell.

Twilight's body tensed up, though it seemed the quaking of her walls only doubled in intensity. She felt the heat flood throughout her body, making the pleasure she was already receiving all that more intense. Her mind nearly blanked because of the sheer pleasure rocketing through her, though she retained enough sense to desperately cling to him, in the hope of not being forced away from the sheer amount of cum flooding her body,

The outline of Ash's hardness became less and less defined as the bubble of cum grew with every hard twitch. A constant stream of his thick, musky cum leaked out from around his cock.

Twilight closed her eyes, and ground as best she could against his cock, attempting to draw out his pleasure as much as possible.

By the time their orgasms had stopped, the two of them were glistening with sweat. Ash's puffy sack was noticeable smaller. And Twilight's cum belly was massive. They were panting and trying to catch their breath. "Gosh... I'm so sorry." He mumbled, glancing shyly down at her stomach.

"It's alright..." Twilight laughed quietly, smiling up at him. "That was absolutely amazing... thank you." She hugged him and nuzzled his cheek. "I want you to stay here with me for a bit longer..."

"Ohh stahp." Ash waved her off with a dorky giggle.

Twilight laughed a little more. "Ooh, I love you so much Ash." She grinned wider.

Smiling, Ash kissed her cheek. "Why don't we clean ourselves off." He suggested, holding her to his body with his many appendages as he stood up.

"That'd be amazing." Twilight giggled, cuddling against him.

Ash walked them to Twilight's bathroom. As they walked, his hardness was still impaling the violet mare.

She shivered at the movement and her eyes closed as she rested her head against his chest.

Before she knew it, steam was filling the room. The rush of warm water between the feathers on her wings. The embrace she was still in as the softening mass slips from Twilight's body.

"Oooh..." Twilight groaned quietly. "And it was so nice too..."

"Who says we have to stop?" Ash chuckled. A large tendril appeared, prodding at the cum slick hole.

"Mmm, that'd be wonderful..." Twilight breathed, pressing down a little bit more.

The massive tentacle split her lips apart and bundled itself in her womb. More and more slid in, all wriggling and filling Twilight's innermost chamber.

Twilight gasped and writhed in pleasure once again. Her grip on Ash tightened further as she attempted to ride the tendril for even more pleasure. Her mind was being blown right now, having this endless tendril pile itself in her womb. She never knew a mare could be stimulated this much. Twilight felt more of her nerves lighting up with every slithering foot of veiny plant cock that piled into her body

An almost malevolent grin snuck across Ash’s face. Twilight felt strange... Like something was building. The writhing cock vine began to secrete the same venom from earlier. Only now it was filling Twilight from the inside out. The sensations were mind blowing. She let out a blood curdling shriek and kicked her legs in an involuntary orgasm. Every inch of her interior was acting like a g-spot. And the tentacle just wouldn't stop moving...

"Aaaaah! Whaaa-aaat are you doooing?" She moaned, her mind barely functioning as it was overcome with pleasure. "Aaasssshhh!" She squealed, her breath becoming more shallow as orgasm after mind shattering orgasm racked her body.

"You asked for it." Ash licks his lips as a tentacle coated in the same aphrodisiac laced venom quickly slipped into her untouched ass at an incredible speed.

Twilight could barely let out a scream as her entire body tensed up. "Oh gaaah!" She yelped her eyes snapping shut. "Staa..."

One one quick motion, both appendages retracted, leaving Twilight and disappearing back into Ash's body.

Twilight quivered in his arms. "Aaah..." She barely eeped out.

"That should put you in the mood, don't ya think?" Ash purred in a sensual whisper.

"A bit..." Twilight said through heavy panting.

"How is my queen feeling?" Ash asked with a preemptive grope to her breasts.

"Mmm, thanks to your venom, I don't think I can feel anything besides pleasure." She teased, moaning lightly. "But I'm still wondering what happened to washing off." She laughed.

"You being such a horny filly." He giggled, kissing Twilight's neck. "That's what happened.”

"I didn't say 'Fuck me again'. I just thought that your amazing libido would have kept you hard for longer." Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Ohh so you were disappointed I got soft?" Ash gave a toothy smirk, waggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"A little. But that doesn't mean shove a tentacle up my ass." Twilight sighed, shaking her head.

"You're right." Ash gently grasped Twilight's hand and kissed the back of it. "Please, forgive me, my dear Twilight." He asked in a less-than-joking way. He was sincere in his request, and such a gentleman about it.

"It's alright." Twilight smiled, hugging him. "Don't you worry about a thing... now maybe we should get washed off before we do go back to making love." She suggested. "I mean... I do still have a town to run... though now it shouldn't be so stressful with you around."

Ash's face started to turn red. "Really though... sorry. Was a bit random and I... got a little carried away."

"It's fine Ash..." Twilight caressed his cheek, pecking him on the lips.

"Hee..." Ash gave a dorky squee, gently scratching his head as he looked away.

"Now the only question is... what are we going to do after this?" Twilight pondered.

"Well, what role may I have in your wonderful kingdom?"

"Hmm..." Twilight tapped her chin. "I don't know... but we have plenty of time to figure that out don't we?"

"Oh! I'll need some clothes too." Ash took her left wing and started preening.

"I'm sure Rarity can make something for you to wear." Twilight sighed, relaxing completely again.

Glancing back, Twilight noticed that Ash was crying silently. But he was still smiling.

"Is something wrong?" Twilight asked quickly.

"I just... I've hidden away for so long. Been out of my neices lives for so long. Distanced myself from ponies to learn about nature. I've neglected everypony when I could have helped. Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, Tirek... I don't deserve to be here. I just don't know how I could so lucky. You're so beautiful, so perfect..." Ash sank back against the wall, going limp.

Twilight wrapped her arms around him, squeezing him tightly. She nuzzled his cheek softly and comfortingly. "Don't you worry... Everypony makes mistakes... all that matters is that you're willing to fix them and that you're here now. It doesn't matter what happened in the past... that's in the past, all that matters is here and now. I thought someone as old as you are would know that..." She laughed quietly. "Ash, you're one of the most amazing ponies I've ever met. I don't want you getting depressed and sad... not now, and not ever." She looked up at him, gently wiping the tears away with her magic as she squeezed him even more.

"I don't know what I said before, but... I don't even know if Celestia or Luna know I'm alive." Ash started to shake, returning the hug and squeezing her almost painfully.

Twilight groaned quietly, "Oh... I know Celestia knows your alive... and I'm sure Luna does now too..." She said.

Ash sniffled quietly. His grip around her loosened and the tiniest of smiles returned to his face. "I get why you're a princess." He complimented. "Thank you..."

"Maybe after all of this... why don't we both go to my bed and take a little bit of a nap?" Twilight suggested, smiling a little bit more. "And maybe when we get up we could go check if Celestia's gotten to town yet."

"Yeah. Yeah I'd like that." Ash cupped her cheeks and brought their faces close. He nose tickled hers gently. "Oh Twilight, my sweet Twilight."

"I love you so much, Ash..." Twilight whispered. "You absolutely amazing stallion."

Ash closed the gap and pressed their lips together. He shut his eyes and pulled the mare into his lap as the water pouring down on them seemed to get even hotter.

Twilight moaned softly into his mouth, and slowly began to doze off in his lap.

Chapter 2: Rare Moment

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 3: To Love The Sky

A few hours after later:

Twilight had brought Ash back down to the throne room, and the two of them were both waiting, albeit very anxiously, for Celestia and Luna to arrive. "I hope they get here soon..." Twilight sighed, as she slowly paced back and forth in front of her throne.

Ash had vanished entirely under the table, trying his hardest not to make a sound.

"What are you doing?" Twilight inquired.

“Hiding.”

"Why are you hiding?"

"Nervous. Scared. Dread." He uttered.

"Why... are you feeling those emotions?"

"Oh, hey kids! Sorry your uncle abandoned you for millennia and hasn't bothered to send even a letter saying how they're doing... but anyway, good to see you! How's your day been?"

"Riiight..." Twilight sighed, tapping her chin. "Well... didn't you say you were searching for Solaris?" She asked, "I mean... you were trying to find their father."

"That's no excuse! They already miss their father. And then I disappear without so much as an occasional letter. I'm such a horrible pony!" Ash started to sob loudly.

"Ash..." Twilight said quietly. "I know they won't be mad at you, they'll be excited to have you back. Celestia even said she was thrilled to hear you were back in the letter she sent me..."

His whines trailed off to sniffles. "Really?"

"Really." Twilight nodded.

There was a knock on the throne room doors. There was a loud bang from under the table. "Ow!" Ash yelped.

"Come in!" Twilight called.

The large doors slid open and two prominent royals walked in. The moment they spotted Twilight, the two of them lit up. "Twilight! It's great to see you." Celestia approached and hugged the smaller violet mare.

"It great to see you too Celestia, and you as well Luna!" Twilight smiled widely, hugging Celestia back.

Ash slowly rose from beneath the map table. His hands were folded down below, his eyes shifty and nervous. He refused to make eye contact with either Celestia or Luna. "H-hello Cecee. Luna." He uttered with a dry swallow.

Before Celestia could say anything, Luna strode right up to Ash, staring intently at him for a few moments. She then hugged him tightly, "Hello uncle..." She said softly, squeezing him as tightly as she could.

Ash was frozen. His mouth was stuck open. The older pony couldn't even blink. He didn't return the hug, he wanted too though.

"Is something wrong?" Luna inquired, looking up at him.

Ash finally looked down at her, flabbergasted at the simple hug. "How..." was all he uttered.

"How? Is that all you have to say to us?" Luna said, pulling away from Ash.

There was another short moment before he continued to speak. "How... can you two even love me anymore?"

"We're both... just relieved and happy that you're back. We never stopped caring about you." Celestia said.

Luna nodded, "You're acting like it's easy to stop loving family members." She added, looking up at Ash. "We both really missed you, Uncle." Luna smiled widely.

"But I abandoned you. I left in search for your father, and never once sent a letter, or message, or stopped to visit. I did it all for you two, but I... I forgot you were only fillies." Ash's shoulders slumped down. Luna struggled to maintain the hug as he started to descend to his knees. "I don't want you to love me anymore..."

Celestia walked over to Ash, both her and Luna now squeezing Ash. "You don't have a choice in that matter." Celestia said, squeezing Ash tightly. "The past is in the past. What really matters is you're here now."

Slowly, Ash returned the hug, pulling the two princesses as tightly against his body as possible. His warm upper body wasn't hindered in the slightest by any clothes, making even the sun princess feel like she was about to sweat.

"There's the Uncle I remember." Celestia laughed, both her smile and Luna's growing wider as they squeezed him even harder.

"I thought you'd hate me. That's one reason I hadn't checked in especially lately. I hid away in the only place that brought me comfort in my loneliness." Ash sniffled, beginning to cry profusely into both of their manes.

"In your room, at the old castle." Twilight added, "Well, at least that's what I've been told."

"How adorable." Celestia chuckled, smiling at Ash.

"It... was the only way I could feel close to you two."

Celestia sniffled quietly and nuzzled her face into his mane, and in an instant he felt the growing wetness where she had buried her face. It was followed very shortly by an equal amount of crying from Luna who buried her face in his neck. The two Princesses barely able to keep their composer.

"W-we missed you so much Ash..." Luna said quietly, nuzzling into his neck, in an effort to comfort the both of them.

"We both... assumed the absolute worse..." Celestia shakily mumbled out, her tears coming out even harder now. She pressed herself even harder into his warmth.

"The worst part about all of this, all the time wasted... coming home empty handed." Ash started to cough, choking on his own sadness.

"It doesn't matter... r-right now... so long as one of you is here... w-we can wait for as long as we need to for him to be found or come home..." Luna said, choking back her tears as she smiled in an attempt to get Ash to calm down.

"T-this should be a happy moment for all of us..." Celestia said, "W-we can t-talk about all of this later... j-just so long as we get to spend time with you."

Leaning back away from the hug, Ash wiped off his face. "You two have grown up so much..."

"A lot of things pushed us to." Celestia smiled slightly.

"It's been hard for both of us, but we've managed through everything that's happened." Luna added.

"Lemme get a good look at you both." Ash finally smiled, cupping Luna's cheeks first. "You have your mother's eyes." He said in a softer, loving tone.

Luna smiled widely and giggled a little, "Thank you Uncle." She said.

Ash shifted his attention to Celestia, gently placing his hands on her shoulders. "And you have your mother's..." He paused, his eyes traveling down to the sun's bust. "Everything else."

"Pervert." Celestia laughed. "Though I wouldn't expect anything else from you."

"To be fair, it may be worse if we shared blood. Fortunately and unfortunately, it is only in spirit." Ash grinned his usual razor sharp smile.

"W-what?" Both Celestia and Luna gasped out, staring wide-eyed at Ash.

Ash's smile slowly receded to uncertainty. His head cocked to the side, "Surely your father would have mentioned."

"No, he never did." Celestia shook her head.

Ash showed his shark-like teeth again, pointing to them, along with his unique eyes. "Thish didn' g've it aw'y?" He slurred without moving his lips as to continue showing his pearly whites.

"We'd always just assumed it was because of your magical connection to nature." Luna said. "But... maybe it should have been a give away."

"Your father took me in when I was a colt. Your father was old when I was young." His lips returned to normal, if only to show the return of his mocking grin.

"That does make sense... somewhat...." Celestia said. "I mean with everything you can do, it is much harder to say you're our blood uncle. Though it doesn't change anything between us." She teased, giving him a teasing smile in return.

"Other than making it harder not to stare." Ash leaned in and gave Luna a kiss on the cheek. "Haven't forgotten about you, Luna." He laughed.

"I'm sure you haven't." Luna laughed. "I can't wait to hear what you come up with now."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ash shrugged innocently, trying to withhold yet another smirk.

"We know the way you act around everyone." Luna chuckled. "Now you're here trying to justify why you're going to hit on us too."

The hint of a snake's tongue slithered from the corner of his mouth in a playful hiss at the younger princess.

"So, go on. I'm still waiting." Luna joked.

"I was merely going to say that alicorns never seem to stop growing, it just takes more time. I'm certainly excited to return so I can experience you two mature into beautiful mares." Ash said as casually as possible, giving both of them a one-armed hug that subsequently had their breasts digging into his arms.

"Uh huh." Luna nodded, laughing a little more.

"As much fun as it is to hear you compliment us, constantly. That isn't the full reason why we came. Despite this... news. You're still our family." Celestia said, "And we haven't seen you in such a long time."

Ash seemed to relax a bit more, his hug loosening slightly. "I know... I still can't believe I'm here." He sighed, closing his eyes.

"Well, you are, and if we haven't said this enough. That's what matters." Celestia stated firmly.

"Ohh I know." Ash began as a tendril hovered over and wrapped around Twilight's hips, pulling the mare closer to the three. "Your student sure has taught me a lot about your culture." He said with a suggestive wink.

"Oh, did she now?" Celestia looked to Twilight. "I'm sure that was enlightening for both of you." She joked.

Twilight blushed, pressing her thighs together and sinking her eyes to the floor.

"Don't you worry." Celestia laughed, smiling widely at Twilight, "As long as you're happy with him, I'm sure it was the perfect decision."

"Hey, how about you head out for awhile Twilight. I'd like to stay here and catch up with my two lovely neices." Ash's tone became softer, and much more loving as he tightened his hug.

"Um, sure..." Twilight nodded, "I'll just... catch up with all of you later than." She walked out of the throne room, waving at the three as she did.

The moment she left, Ash hoisted the two princesses over her shoulders. "Alright! Where's the kitchen, I'm starving."

"Ooh, something to eat would be amazing right now." Luna nodded.

"I believe it's just down the main hallway." Celestia said, "What do you plan on making though?" She inquired.

"Whatever you two want!" Ash replied as he began his journey to the undiscovered room.

"Well today has been full of surprises... One or two more couldn't hurt." Celestia said. "I'm sure you won't disappoint us in the slightest."

Ash was tucked in, dozens of his tentacles tangling themselves around the bed. He had been lying there, mostly thinking about his day. Rekindling with his neices was a dream of his. One he never knew would come true. The sound of his chamber doors opening made the pony's ears twitch.

"No... I just um..." Luna started quietly, sounding more like a scared filly than the princess that she was.

"Get over here you silly filly." Ash ushered her closer, his tendrils clearing one side of the bed for her.

Luna rushed in and climbed into the bed beside her uncle. The tentacles slithered over her, hugging and covering her with their warmth. "Tell me what's wrong sweetheart."

"I just... really missed being able to cuddle with you... I-it was always really nice, and so much easier to sleep with you holding me..." Luna admitted.

"Ohhh Luna... you are still my precious little nightshade." Ash cuddled up against Luna, hugging the night princess as gently as he could.

Luna smiled widely and nuzzled up against Ash. "I love you Uncle." She said quietly, letting out a small yawn.

"Anything you wanna talk about honey?" Ash inquired, lightly raking his fingers through her hair.

Luna shook her head, "I just wanted to sleep with you again." She looked up at him, "It's just... really nice that you're back again..."

"Your friend Twilight really wanted to sleep with me too." Ash winked, teasing her with a rough lick to her cheek.

"And I'm sure you had nothing to do with that." Luna laughed.

"You know me, the mares take one look and either run away, or right at me. It might be with pitchforks, but at least it's a start." Ash chuckled. Though, his own words seemed to hit one of his own nerves, causing the green pony to shrink slightly.

"Oooh, don't act like that." Luna sighed, gently cupping his cheek.

Ash tried to force a smile, but was clearly straining his lips doing so. "Yeah, you're right..." He said in a more monotonous tone. His eyes started to gloss over as tears built in the corners.

Luna hugged him tightly, "You stop." She stated firmly, lovingly nuzzling him. She wiped his tears away and continued to softly nuzzle him.

Their foreheads pressed together, the warmth of his body seeming to double and feel much more like what Luna had remembered. "You two are the only things in this world I care about. You know I'd give my life in a heartbeat so long as you two could merely exist for another minute."

Luna leaned up and softly kissed Ash, squeezing him just a bit tighter.

Ash and many of his tendrils tightened around her and bundled their bodies against one another. While their embrace tightened, the door to the chamber opened. Celestia lightly walked him, lightening her steps in case the two were asleep. When she spotted them kissing, Celestia started to laugh. As she approached, however, she felt a little bad for laughing. Luna and Ash looked up at Celestia, and Luna looked slightly concerned, while Ash had tears streaming down his face.

"Oooh, I'm so sorry!" Celestia apologized quickly, leaning down closer to both of them. She wrapped her arms around Ash, squeezing him tightly.

"I still can't believe you two can still care about me. After all the loneliness I put you two through. Abandonment. You've grown into such fine mares. Your father would be so proud of you." Ash hugged them both so gently it was almost like he was afraid he'd break them.

The two mares hugged him back, "Ash, why would we ever stop caring about you?" Celestia asked softly, nuzzling up against him. Luna mimicked her sister and nuzzled into his neck, squeezing him tighter than before.

"I love you. I love you so much." Ash closed his eyes and sighed lightly.

"And we both love you too." Luna smiled, glancing to her sister. Celestia's smile turned a little devious as her horn lit up. Ash suddenly felt much, much warmer, the heat congregating to a spot in his body he knew all too well. Luna nuzzled in closer purposefully rubbing her entire body against his chest. "Very much..." She cooed softly, nuzzling his cheek.

Ash's face started to burn crimson. "Uhhhm... The kiss wasn't my doing. I... I don't want to force either of you to do t-this." He swallowed dryly.

"Look who's getting embarrassed for once." Celestia laughed softly, cuddling up against his back, pinning him between the two mares. "We wouldn't be doing this if we didn't want to." She assured.

"Though, if you don't want to, we can stop..." Luna said, looking Ash in the eyes.

"You're... sure?" Ash's voice actually cracked. The vines he had that acted as clothes began to swell out slowly. The vines tightened, trying to hide the apparent arousal.

"We're sure... but, you're just going to relax and let us take care of you." Luna stated.

Taking a deep breath in, Ash forced himself to nod. The vines around his body began to unveil his body like the most beautiful, luxurious, masterfully done porno either princess had ever seen. Ash's entire body was revealed as if his clothes disappeared thread by threat (or rather vine by vine), revealing his muscular arms, legs, chest, abs, and waist. The happy trails leading down to his package were like a road trip and beyond. Every last tendril of his returned to his body. His hardness grew between the three of them, and his bountiful pouch radiated both potence, virility, and a very powerful magic. A magic that Stardust was already familiar with.

"My, my... already working hard I see..." Celestia teased, taking in his entire body. Luna meanwhile was licking her lips as she gently teased a finger down his chest.

Ash bit his lip, unable to hide the beginning of a smile. "Only the best for you two." He cooed, moving one hand to each of their waists.

"Mmm, I'm sure you say that to everypony you sleep with..." Luna laughed, softly kissing him again. Celestia's warm hand wrapped around his thick shaft, giving it a long and drawn out pump.

Ash gave a lengthy sigh into Luna's mouth. Their mouths parted with a thin strand of saliva connecting them. "Did you want me to use my tendrils? Anything you two want." He asked shyly.

"Not yet... let us have a bit of fun before you plow us into oblivion." Luna grinned, she shifted up and drew his head into her breasts. "Like we said, just relax and let us handle everything."

"We know how hard that must be for you..." Celestia breathed into his ear, squeezing his sack with her other hand as she expertly stroked his long and thick cock.

"Ohhhkaay." Ash sank to a lying position, his back hitting the sheets and his head hitting the pillows. "You know what, you're big girls. I've decided you can take care of yourselves." He said in a joking manner as he relaxed.

"Oh, you have?" Celestia teased, slowly moving up onto his chest alongside Luna. The two mares grinned at eachother, their combined magic now surrounding his cock and stroking him with the same skill Celestia had just been showing.

"Well, that's such a relief..." Luna added, the two mares nuzzling him lovingly.

Ash moaned and arched his back. His hardness was already pouring some of his famously thick cream. The scent was almost magic in nature. And if they know Ash, it most certainly is magic. What that magic had in that condensed storage was a mystery, however. "You must bless everyone who touches this..." Luna had turned around, her face now hovering inches from his tip. She lightly licked some of the thick cream up, moaning at the taste.

The moment Luna tasted it, his infamous toothy grin returned in full. "You can say that." He purred happily. As his cum washed over Luna's taste buds, her whole body started to feel a bit colder. Now, Luna was certainly used to the cold, being the princess of the moon and night. But the warmth of Ash's body felt so good all of a sudden. She wanted to get closer. She just wanted to touch him…

Luna had to resist that notion and she glanced back at him, "Ooh you naughty boy... you know what we said..." She teased, momentarily adding her hand to the magic surrounding and massaging his cock. Though she turned back around moving back to his chest. She nuzzled up against his warm body, staring intently up at him. "You're so very bad, you know that?" She breathed out, licking his chest.

"If there's one thing I don't do well, it's surprises. And I can safely say, I was not prepared for any of this." Ash was beginning to breathe a bit faster. Both princesses could feel earthquakes from inside his testicles as they tried to hold back. The rate at which his liquid musk poured from the tip was growing more steady by the stroke.

The magic stopped all at once, leaving him with just a thin wisp of pleasure. "Mmm, not just yet." Celestia cooed, kissing his neck and cheek. "We can't have you cumming just yet... not until we're ready." She kissed him on the lips, drawing him into her even hotter body.

Cupping both Celestia's cheeks, the two let their tongues dance in a performance that made Luna, and even Celestia jealous. This stallion wasn't even trying, but both mares knew he was a master in the art of lovemaking. Celestia was the princess of the sun, yet she felt like she could just melt into him. When the kiss finally ended, he gave a set of bedroom eyes that made his voice that much more unforgettable. "Celestia, Luna, you are both two halves of the same coin. I've already said you're both beautiful, but you are so much more." He sighed softly, sitting up and kissing Celestia's forehead. "My little Sunflower." Ash cooed lovingly, placing the next kiss on Luna's lips, if only for a short moment. "And my precious Nightshade. You two deserve so much more than Equestria."

Both mares blushed brightly and suddenly felt so much colder. They both pressed tightly against his body, nuzzling and cuddling up against him. They didn't know what to say and could only respond by kissing and hugging him, showing him as much affection as they possibly could.

Many of his tentacles made themselves known. They didn't act lewd, or invasive. They merely wrapped around the two of them, caressing their arms and legs, their stomachs, their breasts. Ash was the least selfish pony they knew. Right now, he no longer cared about sex. He just knew they were practically shaking, and he couldn't stand to see them cold.

Both of them cuddled even more into the warm mass under them. No words were remotely necessary to explain how much they loved Ash.

"Hey... we don't need to do this. Not if you two don't want. I got everything I've ever wanted in the last day, simply by getting to speak to you both again."

"You don't have to worry, we both want this." Luna said softly, nuzzling his cheek.

"I believe we both started this with the intention of making love to you." Celestia added, caressing his other cheek.

"May we do this... one at a time? I can't handle both of you at the same time. And no, I don't mean you're that bombastic." Ash chuckled and closed his eyes. "I just want to show you both my full attention. And the best way I can do that is to take care of you individually. I know you two want to be in charge, but let me do this. I need to do it my way." He said as genuinely as possible. Ash clearly was giving them both a choice, but both mares knew what the right thing to do was.

"That sounds wonderful, but who do you want to start with?" Luna inquired softly. Both mares staring up at him, giving him their fullest attention.

Ash stared at Luna for the longest time, before his gaze met with Celestia's, as if asking to start with the youngest.

"I'll be waiting then, but you don't have to hurry to get to me." Celestia smiled warmly, "Both of you, take your time."

Luna wrapped her arms tightly around Ash and gave him another soft kiss on the lips.

Ash hoisted Luna up without their lips coming close to separating. The gentleness he gave to the alicorn was utterly loving. He placed her onto her back and splayed himself atop Luna's body, still exchanging their tongues with another.

Luna moaned softly into his mouth, gingerly rubbing herself against him. Her entire body was on fire but still felt so absolutely cold without him touching her.

Her magic lit up once again and his cock was engulfed in a cool magic.

Ash's shaft was slapped noisily onto Luna's belly. The cum-drooling monster was throbbing viciously and impatiently. Both Celestia and Luna had not appreciated just how big it truly was, only taking in the true size of it now. "This is probably going to hurt, but only for a moment." He whispered in as reassuring manner as he could.

Luna took in a deep breath and nodded, "I'm... ready for it." She said, smiling up at him, her grip tightening as she braced herself for the monster about to impale her.

Ash put his weight down on top of Luna. Slowly, inch by inch, he slipped inside. The comforting heat of his body was overwhelming alongside the wonderful stretching. "I'll go slow." He whispered, lightly licking her neck. As if everything wasn't enough, his venom made Luna's nerves light on fire. All pain she would have felt was replaced with a burning.

Luna's body tensed up and her eyes closed. She pushed down further wanting him completely inside of her. "Ooooh, Aaashhh..." She moaned sensually. "You're maaaassssiivvvveee!" She gasped. "You're soooo amaaazing!"

The cream ozzing within her was already leaking from around his barely half-impaled shaft. It made sliding it deeper that much easier. Ash silenced the mare's moans with another kiss. This one was far different than the others. She felt the same tingling as when he licked her neck. Luna's mind went fuzzy, and then her entire body started to feel so sensitive to the touch that every minor brush of his long green hair to her skin was maddening.

Luna's marehood quivered around his thick shaft, every pulse and movement attempting to draw him deeper in. She clawed haphazardly at his back, barely containing her orgasm as her juices slathered his shaft. Her wings were stretched out painfully, though they felt just as on fire as the rest of her body, if not more so because they were left unattended.

Luna didn't think it could get any more intense. That is, until his tentacles returned to her body. The countless wriggling masses coiling and squirming around her body left no space unmolested. The most tender area touched were the two tendrils wrapped around the base of her wings. "I want to make you feel special." Ash gave a hard thrust, practically detaching her mind from reality.

Luna gasped loudly, her wings twitching at his touch. Her thoughts were disjointed and chaotic. Though she enjoyed every second of his cock being lodged in her, almost like it was meant to happen this way. "Y-you aaaalreaddy aaareee! D-Dooon't staaahppp!" She nearly screamed out, attempting to vainly buck her hips into his cock, signaling for him to start pounding her.

"Oh my sweet little Luna." Ash nuzzled his face into her neck. His thrusts were getting faster, and faster. Each tendril was tugging at her wings, legs, arms, tightening and loosening, massaging. They were each leaking their own magical cream. With every thrust, the writhing vines smeared his cum around her body. For every pore it covered, there was nerves lighting up Luna didn't even know she had. She had orgasmic quakes constantly, knocking her off gyroscopic balance. Each thrust removed Luna's ability to tell which way was up and down. Left and right, absolute bliss.

She could barely contain her ecstasy, and just the sound of every one of Luna's moans was driving her sister insane. There was no doubt in Celestia's mind, tonight was going to a be night they'd never forget.

"Just tell... tell me when I should stop holding back." Ash's voice strained as if trying to prolong himself from orgasming for as long as possible.

"L-leeet go!" Luna nearly ordered, bucking her hips in an attempt to get him to hilt before he came.

Ash let out a shriek of his own. He pushed forward to hilt himself, causing Luna to practically panic. Her eyes bulged, only now realizing he had barely been using any of his cock. And now he was trying to force it all inside. Still a foot outside, Luna felt the beast against her cervix. No matter what she did, there was no way to stop him. She was going to get every inch before it was all over, and he was ready to blow with a hair trigger.

Luna barely managed to scream as her own orgasm came out in full, her passage milking him fully. Her body needed him to be fully in her. "Plleaaaaseee!" She moaned loudly, struggling to get him in completely.

All at once, the remainder broke into her inner chamber. In an instant, her womb was stormed by the rest of Ash's cock, and the pressure was broken as an ocean of his endlessly thick, potent cum. The stall stud light brought his lips to Luna's, kissing the mare with more passion than either Luna or Celestia had seen in many millenia. With such a watertight seal around his hardness, Luna wasn't going anywhere. Every loud rumble of cum deposited inside forced the pressure to grow, and grow, turning Luna's womb into a boiling vacuum chamber.

Luna could barely move, let alone make a sound. Her entire body was absolutely on fire, never before had she felt like this, and she never wanted to stop feeling this way.

"Oh gods..." Celestia mumbled, watching her sister's stomach balloon with the sheer amount of cum being pumped deep into her. "It's... going to be a long while..." She muttered quietly, gingerly touching her own slit, giving it a light rub.

Some of Ash's tendrils stayed behind to rub and caress Luna. But a few dozen of them raised up and pointed at Celestia. The green, vainy appendages were coated in a thick, slimy cum. And they were all drooling the same drug-like fluid.

"Mmm..." Celestia moaned softly, beckoning them to come closer. Her magic massaging them all simultaneously.

Ash sighed pleasantly, tilting Luna's head and shifting their gaze to the older sister. "I can't just leave you out." Ash gave a warm smile. The tendrils began to lovingly coil around Celestia's body. Almost immediately, Celestia knew what she was in for. The cum that was now beginning to coat her body brought the sun itself down to earth. Celestia had never felt this warm, it was bizarre to her. The heat gave way to an ache. A pulsing, aching, heartbeat, as if the cum itself was alive. As if it was trying to procreate with her skin itself. It was soothing, massaging, gentle, exotic... nothing could describe it.

Celestia moaned loudly, smiling warmly down at Ash and Luna, "I didn't expect you too..." She shivered trying to get his tentacles to wrap even more around her, by now she was even guiding one to her marehood, wanting to at least be stuffed before Ash finally penetrated her.

One of the tendrils was about the size of her finger. Then it started to tense up, and grow. Now it was about the size of two fingers, then four, then ohhh my…

"Oooh my..." Celestia mumbled aloud, grabbing that tendril with both her hands and pushing it right down to her snatch. She ground against it but kept it held tightly just outside of the growing warmth of her marehood.

The strength it showed overpowered her. It, however, merely followed her wishes. The tendril was nearly as large as his own cock, but just a tad smaller. The head of it pressed against her lower lips, slowly tracing the entrance in circles.

Celestia smiled and pushed the tendril into her marehood, letting it drive all the way into her. She let out a gut-wrenching moan that nearly caused Ash's orgasm to redouble. It appeared in an instant that he was being taken for a ride as Celestia's walls clamped down tightly on the tendril and massaged it with an expert precision. "Mmmm, hows that feel?" She teased, rubbing the parts of the tendril still outside her marehood.

Ash was still locked inside Luna, only now he looked like he had just died and gone to heaven. Head head was dangling back, his eyes glued to the ceiling. His long, snakelike tongue hung from his lips. Several of his tendrils reacted as well, spraying large globs and miniature orgasms over Luna and Celestia's bodies.

Celestia laughed, while Luna only squirmed more another orgasm coming over her. "My... it looks like I might be the one to break you tonight." She joked bringing another tendril to her mouth giving it a soft kiss before sucking on it with the same skill her marehood was showing. She closed her eyes and happily pleasured Ash.

Thinking she was drinking from a mother's breast, the tentacle she was suckling on gave her a constant flow of the tasty cream. Drinking it was something entirely different. As it hit her stomach and went down her throat, her senses seemed to increase by triple. The room grew brighter, and much more colorful. Her nose was affected the most. All she could smell was his musk, and it was so thick that she was afraid she might suffocate.

Celestia moaned loudly, her entire body growing even hotter by the second. She pulled the tendril out of her mouth and plastered it with kisses and licked all over it, enjoying the taste that it had. Her magic however swapped and gave Ash's large ass a quick slap. "My... you're so tasty..." She breathed.

Ash yelped, followed by a series of girlish giggles in response. "Well, glad to see somepony is having fun." He grinned at the older niece.

"Mmm, you don't know what fun is yet... but that's going to have to wait." Celestia laughed, "Tonight's about showing how much we love you..." She managed to lean down closer to him, and she whispered, "But you should know... later I'm going to make sure you don't leave ever again... even if you won't be walking after I'm done with you." She nipped his ear, causing him to shiver at how much hornier she was compared to him. A slight ripple of curiosity mixed with fear coursed through him, he wanted to know what she meant, but he was also scared to find out. The magic tracing his tight ass was giving him a slight idea of what she meant, though it didn't help that her grin was absolutely dripping with more lust than he had ever seen in anypony.

With all the roleplaying Celestia had done in her life, this was just another bit of fun. But what happened next made her heart sank. "Oh... I probably deserve it then." Ash's tendrils seemed to shrink and sadly go limp on the bed around them.

Celestia's mood instantly swapped and she wrapped her arms tightly around him, "Oh no... Ash I'm so sorry. I-I didn't mean it like that!" She hugged him tightly trying her hardest to comfort him. "I love you so much, I'd never do anything to hurt you..." She nuzzled his neck, now with tears forming in her eyes as she cuddled up against him. "Please don't feel bad..." She said quietly, almost pleading with him.

Even in her condition, Luna was brought back to reality. She was sitting up, ignoring her swollen belly. Ash's tendrils retracted back into his body, and the warmth they had grown fond of from his body started to lessen severely.

"Please Ash... don't cry..." Luna said softly, nuzzling him softly.

Celestia was pressing herself as hard as she could into his back, trying to make him feel absolutely welcome and loved, she knew she had messed up and she'd do anything she could to make it right again.

"I knew you couldn't love me!" Ash broke down and burst into hysterics as tears flooded down his face.

"What are you talking about?" Both of them said quickly.

Luna grabbed Ash's head, tears in her own eyes. "We absolutely love you Ash." She said in a soft and caring tone, gently kissing his forehead.

"I pushed too far... I'm so sorry for that." Celestia said quietly, nuzzling the back of his neck. "I love you so much Ash, and I would never... ever want to hurt you. Nothing can or will ever change how we feel about you."

Ash's arms shot out and hugged the two painfully tight. "Oh gods I promise I won't ever leave again. Hurt me if you want, I want you to! I want to pay for what I've done to you. I'm so sorry I abandoned you!" He wailed in a tone that count only be described as regret, and woeful.

Celestia and Luna hugged and cuddled with him, both of them crying. "You didn't abandon us... and we can't be mad or angry with you... we love you too much for that to ever happen..." Luna started.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad like this..." Celestia added quietly, nuzzling his cheek as lovingly as she could.

"I know. I know sweetie..." Ash sniffled, closing his eyes. "I know you're not mad at me. I know you never will be. Just bad habits I guess... what happens when you care about somepony. Like when a mother cares about her daughters, and her daughters get hurt. the parents blame themselves. They always do..." He frowned, more sadness entering his voice. "It's just hard to forget the thousands of years of hurting you two. Because every day I was gone, was another day I left you two alone. Another day I regret."

"Oooh Ash..." Celestia sighed quietly, softly kissing him. "None of that matters to us now. You're here... that's what's important. The past can be forgiven... it always can be. So long as you're here with us now, you're the most important thing in this world. And I don't want you to forget that."

After a long cuddling moment of silence, Ash gave a long kiss to Luna's lips. "I love you, Luna." He whispered, repeating the same gesture with the older sibling. "I love you, Celestia."

"I love you too Ash." Luna replied.

"I love you as well." Celestia smiled, squeezing Ash and returning the kiss.

Another short pause met their ears before Ash finally smiled. "Luna, would you mind leaving your sister and I? I think it's time I showed her the love I've wanted to give her for centuries."

"Of course." Luna said, nodding slowly. "I... really should go clean myself up too..." She leaned down and kissed the two of them as she was about to leave. "Have fun!" She smiled widely, leaving the two alone.

Celestia's magic shut and locked the door behind Luna, leaving her and Ash alone, cuddling in the bed. She smiled warmly at Ash, every hint of lust gone and replaced with the truest form of love he had ever seen.

"If I had to wait another thousand years... I would gladly wait for you." Ash said to her in the most genuine, loving manner she'd ever heard a pony speak. It was so beautiful, she felt almost as if nopony would ever sound genuine again. They were the words of a true lover.

"You won't have to wait any amount of time again." Celestia kissed him passionately, drawing him into a loving kiss.

All of his tendrils vanished inside him. When the breath returned to their lungs (albeit gasping, and desperate for air), he spoke from his heart. "No extra bits. No vines. Nothing but you and I." Ash gently took her hand down to the shaft she had so eagerly wanted to try. When her hand touched it, there were sparks. It wasn't lewd, nor was it just sex. There was meaning now. At this point Celestia's eyes would have turned into hearts.

"Then, why don't we make it the most wonderful moment we've ever had?" Celestia asked softly, nuzzling him lovingly as she shifted onto his body. The beautiful princess of the sun was now perched atop his chest, smiling down at him. This was the warmest he had ever felt, and he knew this was just the very beginning for them. "Now let's take our time and enjoy each other? Shall we?" She suggested softly, letting herself slide further down his body.

"Tell me about earlier. I'm curious" Ash laughed, leaning back into the pillows. "Before I broke down into tears. Did you... want to break my legs?" He cocked his head curiously.

"No! No not at all..." Celestia shook her head. "I'd never hurt you." She started, "I uh... discovered some spells..." She trailed off, "Something I haven't really shared with anyone since... when I use them I kind of lose myself for a time." She laughed quietly. "Mmm..." She let out a sigh, "I was going to ass fuck you until you couldn't walk. That's what I was going for. Of course, if you didn't want me too, I wouldn't. I'm not really... open to making anypony do anything against their will." She assured. "Though I assume seeing a mare with a cock might be... off putting the first time. Oh and you know, spanking... you'd probably be calling me Mommy by the end of it too... but that's just... mm, my fetish really. You wouldn't have to." She added.

Ash was speechless, his brows fully raised. The stallion was only able to blink in response. Celestia could see that even his face was turning crimson.

"Mmm, right, I should be calm and collected, never thinking about my needs and wants, right?" Celestia joked, laughing. "Oooh, you silly stallion. You have no idea what I think about most of the time." She teased. "But enough about me, I have you to make love to... and I want to make sure we never forget tonight..."

"I think I can help make these memories. You can use your spell, if you don't mind me using one of mine." Ash smiled. Celestia's curiosity was peaked. He wasn't an alicorn, let alone a unicorn. What did he mean spell?

"Hmm... I'm curious as to what you could mean..." Celestia started, looking down at him, "Though... at least for now, could we start... without anything extra, just you and I?" She suggested, running her hand down his chest.

With a chuckle, Ash nodded. "As you wish, my Queen." He took her hand and kissed the back of it. Ash's lower half was inclined to make sure nopony would forget about it. The moment of pure love the two shared certainly received a reaction from it. The already massive length started to swell. Like a sponge, his whole package absorbed every drop of love expressed. Even Ash was caught off guard as the powerfully productive orbs lifted up his rigid shaft with new mass. The foot and a half monster had doubled to a full three feet, and the thickness genuinely made Celestia's legs shake.

Celestia gulped and slowly stood up to meet the top of his cock, "Here goes... nothing." Celestia gulped quietly, slowly lowering herself onto her new home. The thickness being met with an incredible tightness that Ash had never felt, and it was only accented by the fact that her walls were massaging him with the same skill they had shown on his tendril earlier. "O-oooh... d-daaah... soooo huge..." She breathed, shakily lowering more and more on his meat.

Ash gritted his teeth, showing the mare how sharp they were. Though she knew it wasn't threateningly, but out of pleasure. Nothing about this was an act, every response was true and honest. He took hold of her hips, holding her still. "D-don't hurt yourself... pl- ... please." Ash said through gritted teeth.

"D-don't worry... I know you can't hurt me..." Celestia smiled weakly, finally reaching his hilt. "T-there... how do you feel?" She asked softly, rubbing the obscene bulge in her stomach.

All Ash could do was stare, mouth agape. It seems the tables have turned, now his eyes were like two beating hearts, bleeding pure love from his gaze. That was as good an answer as any.

Celestia giggled like a little filly at the sight. "Oooh, my big handsome stallion..." She leaned up and kissed him, slowly moving as far up the shaft as she could manage.

Celestia felt his lips move from hers, to her neck. Before he did anything, Ash stopped his ministrations entirely. He seemed to be uncertain about something.

"Is something wrong?" Celestia asked softly. "You can tell me anything..."

"I want this to be memorable because of how meaningful it is. I thought it was meaningful to be myself, to not use my tentacles or my venom. But..." Ash slowly frowned. "Those things are myself. I keep trying to make myself normal. But I'm not, and I never will be..."

Celestia laughed, smiling wider. "Do you then." She said, "I want YOU nothing additional... no extra magics, no extra ponies. Just you and I. If... that makes any sense to you that is."

"But I'm just a freak. You're not running away because you're used to me. I... I just don't deserve somepony like you."

Celestia sighed, "They're the freaks than. You ARE one of the kindest and most caring beings on this planet. Most ponies are just selfish, they don't see too far into others unless they see something they like on the surface." She stated. "You have to get over that. You'll find ponies who won't care for a second what you look like. From what I've seen you've found one already, and I'm sure Twilight's friends... well without the sex at first, will treat you in just the same way she did." She smiled warmly. "They'll be there to help you fit in. I'm one hundred percent sure of that. Besides... you need to understand one last thing..." She paused, her smile growing. "You ARE normal. You stop being normal the day you stop being yourself." She tapped his nose and kissed him.

Whatever funk Ash was in went out the window.. He practically tackled her, peppering the mare with kiss after sloppy kiss. A dozen of his extra appendages were also groping and tugging at random parts of her body.

Celestia squealed and wrapped her arms tightly around Ash, letting him do whatever he desired.

With her legs on either side of his hips, Ash towered above missionary style. With a flash of brilliance, he stuck his finger and thumb into his mouth. When they were seen again, the end digits on both fingers were purple with a very strong smelling venom. With lusty, bedroom eyes, he smeared the liquid along the outside of Celestia's pussy.

Celestia moaned loudly, her walls clamping down even harder on his cock. It wasn't the reaction he had expected, hell HE felt like he was being affected by it as her marehood seemed to come close to rivaling the heat of the sun. His cock was burning inside of her and it only made him feel better. She tightened the grip she had around his waist and began to force him deeper into her everytime he pulled out. "Mmmm, this is... so much better..." She groaned, softly kissing him again, "Isn't it?" She breathed, bucking her hips into his.

His form descended to meet her, their noses tickling each other. "I couldn't think of it any other way." Ash groaned deeply, locking their lips together again. When their tongues clashed, Celestia received another healthy dose of venom straight from the source. Closing her eyes and wrapping her legs around his waist, Celestia hummed into his mouth. Ash made sure every inch of her body was shown attention. Tendril after tendril tightened around her body, breasts, flank. Each one growing steadily in temperature. A thought came to Ash, one he wanted to mention just in case. "Hey... j-just wanna let you know, I can stay hard after I orgasm." He gasped. His implications stated he was near orgasm, but he only seemed to speed up.

"T-that'd be wooonderful... that way we can... remain close all night long." Celestia moaned, her marehood redoubling its efforts to get him to cum. Her body needed his seed inside of it, and he was only now finding out just how much she needed it.

Celestia wouldn't have to wait long. Only another minute passed before Ash started to force his weight into her bust. The sun princess thought she'd felt everything. But the lava injected into her body was new. So new that her brain didn't know quite how to process it, so it just flipped every switch it could. Celestia discovered what it was like to go from minimal pleasure, to an orgasm in a second flat. Both their screams were harmonized, reverberating through the entire castle like a loudspeaker.

There was nothing either of them could do, they were both too lost in the incredible pleasure rocking their very beings. It was like they were meant to do this, and now there would be no stopping them from doing it over and over again. This was what love was supposed to be, absolute heaven with nothing ever separating them.

Chapter 4: Eureka!

Stardust had Rarity wrapped around his arm as the two walked in the dead of night toward Twilight's castle. "Sweetie, you were an animal back there." She giggled.

"You always set something off in me." Stardust grinned, nuzzling her lovingly. "Gods I love you so much..." His affectionate side always brought her heart to as much a flutter as his sexual side, she didn't know which part she loved seeing more. Regardless it always seemed so infectious to be around him. His smile grew as he pulled her in closer to his warm body, making her feel even more comfortable.

"Maybe next time tone it down. I sew and stitch, that's my life. Meaning I have to sit down a lot." Rarity put a hand to her mouth and started to laugh.

Stardust laughed, "Alright, I'll try to tone it down next time." He nodded, nuzzling her cheek again. "If that's really what you want, I'm happy to please." He assured, the two now reaching the doors to Twilight's castle. "I mean... I could always just be with you... it seems like I'm more comfortable than anything you've ever been on." He teased.

Rarity scoffed and gave a spank to his left flank. "Down boy."

Star laughed even more, his smile growing even more as he gave his ass a little shake. "Oh, you act like I'm being different from how I usually act... I mean I don't have any plans on having sex anymore for the next day or two... you've managed to do the impossible." He joked. "But enough about sex... why don't we go annoy Twilight in the dead of night?" He chuckled, opening the doors up for Rarity to enter. "Mi'lady."

"My hero." Rarity walked in with a playful flutter of her eyelashes, kissing the air as she passed him.

Stardust closed the doors and swept up behind her, wrapping his arms around her again, this time pressing into her back, his head resting on her shoulder. "Anything for my beautiful princess." He kissed her cheek. "Mmm, maybe I should be carrying you now..." He mused, squeezing her a bit more.

"Oh, but I don't even know you." Princess Luna's voice snapped their gaze forward. The three of them stood there amidst the sound of lunar crickets.

Stardust stood motionless, his mind reeling a little at the sight of somepony they couldn't have expected to be here tonight. "Um... H-hello Princess Luna..." He greeted uncertainly, he was still new to the idea of knowing any of the princesses at all.

Rarity and Luna met eyes momentarily. Rarity spoke in a low voice through gritted teeth. "Pt' m' dwn." She muttered to Stardust.

"A-alright..." Stardust instantly set Rarity down and backed away, his eyes moving between Luna and Rarity.

"It's wonderful to see you!" Rarity threw her arms open, to which Luna eagerly joined. Once the embrace was over, the two turned their attention to Stardust. His heart skipped and the stallion swallowed dryly. "This is an old friend of mine. His name is Stardust."

"What a beautiful name. I am Luna." The princess extended her hand delicately.

Stardust uncertainly took her hand and shook it, "T-thank you." He said quietly, his face heating up for the first time, he actually was feeling embarrassed being this close to one of the Princesses for longer than a minute. It nearly caused Rarity to giggle loudly as the usually sexually fueled stallion was turned into a near virgin teenager, with his first marefriend.

Luna managed to stare above the waist for a whole thirty seconds. Her gaze locked on the bulge in what tiny shred of clothes Stardust wore. Cocking an eyebrow, Luna turned her attention to Rarity. Now it was the pale unicorn's turn to blush.

"Um... I uh... it's a problem I have... I-I feel a lot better with less clothing on." Stardust began to quickly explain, usually Luna would only take an explanation like his with a grain of salt, but something told her he wasn't capable of lying to her. "I... I um... n-need the contact with starlight or moonlight to use my magic... O-otherwise I'm n-normally magically impotent."

Luna's ears perked up at his words. "Oh? I've heard of your kind before. It's been ages since I've seen one in the flesh." She mused, walking up to the half-naked stallion. She reached up, stopping her hand just above his horn. "May I?"

"S-sure." Stardust nodded slowly, watching her intently.

The mare's delicate hand touched her finger tip to the tip of his horn. A gentle blue glow surrounded the magical conductor. Stardust shivered as Luna scanned him. His entire body grew colder as her aura mingled with his. As quick as it started, everything was back to normal. Except now, Luna's expression was riddled with curiosity and fascination.

Stardust stared up at her, seeming at least a little more relaxed now. "I-is something wrong?" He asked quietly.

Luna's stance shifted, putting a hand to her chin in thought. "If you are not busy, would you care to go somewhere quiet to show me how your magic works? Who better than the princess of the night to help you with your impotence problem."

Stardust looked to Rarity, she had brought him here to actually introduce him to Twilight. "W-well I was... going with Rarity to meet Princess Twilight..." He started.

"Well... any help with your magic would be wonderful for you Darling." Rarity smiled encouragingly.

Stardust looked back to Luna and took in a deep breath, "Alright... If you'd really want to, I'd... love it if you could teach me anything." He said, smiling slightly.

Luna's magic re-opened the castle doors. She held her arm out and smiled. "Let us go for a stroll, shall we?"

Stardust took Luna's arm, though before they were even able to move they heard two of the most gut-wrenching screams reverberate throughout the entire castle. "What the..." Stardust muttered quietly. It seemed like the ENTIRE castle was shaking from it.

Luna's face flushed deeply. Stardust was cut off mid-sentence from asking what that was as she started walking, literally dragging the larger pony with her. "Tell Twilight it was nice seeing her!" Luna shouted without even glancing back at Rarity.

The two of them walked deep into the town's park, it was one of the spots Stardust already knew had good vision of the stars without any lights blocking them out. "Here's actually one of my favorite spots... the others are in the Everfree." Stardust said, leading Luna to a bench. "I like it out here only because of how visible the sky is... it helps me think when I'm out here, and nopony really comes out during the night." He sighed, looking up at the night sky for a moment, his eyes seemed to be tracing out the various constellations almost as if he knew where each and every one was. He seemed to forget for a moment that Luna was even there, almost like he was at home out here in the open air.

"I guess we are a couple of nobodies, then." Luna said with an unusually kind smile.

His attention snapped back to her, "Heh... I guess." He smiled back, seeming to warm up a little more to her. "What did you intend to teach me?" He asked, getting a bit more curious. "I'm willing to learn anything." He added.

Luna was staring up at the night sky. "Look at the stars. Tell me what you see."

Stardust looked up, "I... see how vast it is..." He murmured, "I see so much beauty... so much unknown..." He paused for a moment, the silence seemed nearly deafening. "It scares and excites me... There's so much I don't know, so much I want to know... and so much I don't. Sometimes... when it honestly is hard, when I feel alone, I see home. Though... it's not a home I can just go to, but it's just there... to make me feel welcome and safe, even when nothing else is right." He let out a sigh, "It's so strange, but it's always felt normal."

Stardust's words resonated so fondly with the princess, she did the unexpected. Stardust let out a quiet stutter as her proximity became uncomfortably close. Cupping his cheeks, Luna put a long, gentle kiss on his forehead.

Stardust could barely eep, and his face had turned a bright red, and it was really showing through his deep black fur, making him look adorable as she managed to actually embarrass him. His midnight blue mane fell down across his face when he pulled back, startled from the sudden kiss on his forehead. "O-okay..." He mumbled quietly, looking up at him, the golden eyes peering through his mane were even more adorable than anything he had done before.

Taking Stardust's hand, Luna smiled and spoke. "Show me your magic."

Stardust gulped quietly and nodded, she noticed instantly how it seemed his entire body was empowered when he began to use his magic. He began to channel a simple light spell, a small glowing orb appearing in between them. His magic died down but the orb remained behind, "How's that?" He asked.

Luna was grinning ear to ear. "You look absolutely beautiful when you use your magic in the moonlight."

Stardust smiled wider, "Thank you." He laughed quietly, seeming even happier now than before.

Once again cupping his cheek, she closed her eyes. "Close your eyes with me."

Stardust closed his eyes, just as she instructed. He took in a deep breath, "Alright."

"Now, tell me again. What were you just looking at when you stared at the sky?" Luna inquired further, never letting go of his head. Her cool hands were more relaxing than Stardust expected. Just having them caress his face was practically an honor.

"I..." He paused for several long seconds, "The stars... the moon... everything that makes me... feel like me." He sighed, finally she felt his hand touch hers, at least for a few seconds. He almost instantly felt unworthy to have her attention, though it made him feel even better that she'd give it to him.

"Now focus on your magic, but don't open your eyes. Tell me everything you think you're doing with it, when you do it." Luna's thumb runs slowly back and forth to reassure.

"I'll try." Stardust said, taking in a deep breath. Once again his magic flowed through his body. "I'm... gathering the magic in me... I-I can feel it all over, caressing and comforting me..." He started quietly, his concentration seeming to grow as he spoke. The orb he had summoned vanished for a moment before coming back even brighter, seeming to take on the appearance of twinkling star as he pushed his magic into it. "I'm... letting all of it go, and it feels... like it knows exactly what I want it to do... S-sometimes I don't even know what I'm casting... it's strange, but my magic always does what it's supposed to... always what's best..." He shivered slightly, his magic suddenly leaving the orb, she could see it drift off, soon surrounding his body in a blanket of warmth. He let out another breath, "Now... I pulled it back in..." She felt the magic caress her fingers, almost as gently as she was caressing his cheek. He took in one more breath and the magic all dissipated at once, everything simply vanishing. "And now... I've let it go back..." He finished.

"Fantastic. Now, bring the orb back once more. Keep your eyes closed, then tell me how it feels to hold it. Don't release it until I say."

Stardust focused his magic once again, bringing the orb back. He focused his magic on it, keeping it floating there. "It feels... natural... almost like it should always be with me." He explained, his breathing slowing as he concentrated on his magic. "But... I-I can't... the day cuts my magic off..." He let out a small sigh, though his magic remained steady, keeping the orb afloat and twinkling. It was almost a replica of a star floating in the sky above them now, just as beautiful as any Luna had ever seen.

And with those words, Luna removed her hands from Star's face. Confused, he opened his eyes. "What's wr- ... wrong." He trailed off. Like Luna said, he was still holding the orb he created. Only something utterly mindbending struck him. A realization he had no words for. He slowly glanced up at the sky. The stars were gone, and the skies were bright blue. It was daylight…

Stardust could barely contain his excitement he looked between the morning sky and the orb he was still controlling. "I-Is this..." He could barely speak. Something deep inside him answered the question on the tip of his tongue for him. "This is happening..." He blinked a few times, from Luna's perspective it was almost like watching a young colt discover his magic for the first time. There was nothing but sheer joy when he looked back up at Luna. "T-thank you, Princess Luna!" He smiled widely, nearly shooting up from the bench.

"The stars don't cease to exist simply because you don't see them. They are always here, surrounding us, embracing the sun and moon. We are adrift amidst a cosmic sea, and no matter how dark or bright it gets... we are never alone." Luna put a hand on his shoulder and smiled warmly. "I did nothing that you couldn't already do. You've been crawling your whole life... now you have finally learned how to walk."

Chapter 5: Knowledge Gained

Ash had tired eyes, but like Celestia was wide awake. The shower's warmth engulfed their bodies as they took refuge in each other's arms. "I love you." He whispered in a voice that could be considered baby-talk, before kissing her cheek.

"I love you too." Celestia returned the kiss, squeezing him lovingly. "You know... you're the single greatest stallion ever." She complimented, smiling warmly at him.

"I really meant it when I said I won't leave you alone. I mean... Canterlot can be quite lonely. If you'll have me." He mused.

"I'd love to have you there with me, though I'm sure Twilight won't mind in the slightest if I stay here for a bit longer. I'm sure she'd love for you to meet all of her friends as well." Celestia chuckled, "After that, you're welcome to come to Canterlot... or I can come visit you regularly... I'm sure Luna can handle the occasional day alone. Though I don't know if I'll be able to be away from you for very long..." She sighed, rolling her eyes. "So many tough decisions." She joked, nuzzling Ash's neck.

Out of the corner of their eyes, a small orb of light materialized in the center of the bathroom. The two curiously peeked out of the glass shower door.

"I won-" Celestia's thought was cut off as a half naked stallion she didn't know teleported into the room, falling right on his ass. Though even from his current angle Ash knew exactly who it was.

"Shit... I really can't control anything when I'm this excited!" Stardust started bouncing before he hopped up to his feet. "Now... where did I end up this time." He sighed quietly, turning around only to pause momentarily. His eyes widened significantly and he instantly turned back around seeing the two naked in the shower. "I'm so sorry!" He said quickly. Celestia instantly looked to Ash, her horn slowly lighting up. "Uh... um, I'll... I'll wait outside I didn't mean to interrupt you two!" He apologized profusely, his previous intelligence being taken over by his embarrassment as he ran into a wall, making it clear that he was covering his eyes as well as looking away from them.

Ash's world famous smirk was uncontainable. "How bout I go help him?" He suggested with a gentle kiss to her cheek.

"So you do know him." Celestia laughed quietly, "Sure go ahead. It looks like he needs it." She returned the kiss and let go of him.

Taking no time to wait, Ash snatched a towel from the rack and wrapped it around his waist. When he left the bathroom, Stardust was still bumping into walls with his eyes closed. "Morning." Ash waved slowly.

Stardust stopped and smiled widely, "Morning!" He said in the most giddy voice he had heard the stallion use. "Am... I out of the bathroom? I really didn't mean to interrupt you and Princess Celestia..." He said quickly.

"Oh it's fine." Ash yanked Star's hand down from his eyes. "You just love seeing me naked, don't you? This is the second time."

"Mmmaybe, but that's not why I'm here!" Star grinned at Ash. "I have something amazing to tell you!" He seemed to grow even happier, and his happiness was truly becoming infectious.

Unable to not smile, Ash shrugged and motioned him to continue.

"Well, I met Princess Luna last night, and she was amazing!" Star started, "She helped me learn how to use my magic constantly! I always thought during the day I just couldn't use it at all. But... but she proved that wrong and helped me learn to use it! Now I can do magic like any other unicorn!" He bounced up and down. "Well, not exactly like any other unicorn, but still! I can use magic during the day! Isn't that wonderful?"

Ash just stood there, staring blankly at him as if he had no clue what was happening. "Kay..."

Star huffed, rolling his eyes. "Well, at least one of us is happy about it. Though I guess it's only really important to me." He tapped his chin, shrugging. "Oh well... huh... maybe I should go find Princess Luna and actually thank her for this..." He sighed.

"That might be a tad difficult..." Celestia said as she walked out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her body. Star tilted his head for a moment before his face turned red. "Ash, would you mind introducing us?" She inquired softly, walking up behind Ash.

Ash's face lit up at Celestia's voice. He stepped to the side and put an arm around the princess. "This is my friend Stardust." He motioned to the unicorn. "Star, you've heard of my niece Celestia."

"Y-yes I have." Star nodded quickly. "I-It's nice to meet you Princess Celestia..."

"It's nice to meet you too Stardust." Celestia laughed.

"Now, you were saying?" Ash glanced back to Celestia.

"Oh, yes. Luna should have returned to Canterlot a little bit ago." Celestia said, smiling slightly, "As I said, she's going to be alone there for a few days while I spend some more time with you." She wrapped her arms around Ash.

Stardust however appeared to have shut down, his high energy instantly dissipating. "Oh." He said, sounding a little saddened, his eyes moving down to the ground as he appeared to slip into thought for a few moments.

Ash approached, tilting Star's head up to look him in the eyes. "What's wrong Star?"

"I forgot to honestly thank Princess Luna for showing me what she did..." Star sighed, he shook his head. "I... I'll be fine though." He smiled weakly.

"You can be really dumb sometimes." Ash said in a serious tone, catching Star and Celestia off guard.

"What do you mean?" Star asked, his eyes widened as he looked into Ash's.

"Do you have a job here?" Ash asked, seemingly off topic.

"Um, well not one that I have to stay here for..." Star shook his head, "Why do you ask?"

"Then what's to stop you from just going to Canterlot, you dunce." Ash flicked Stardust's nose, making him flinch.

"Well..." Stardust tried to think of a reason, but he had none other than, "I... hadn't thought about that..." He said quietly. "I... wow... I feel really stupid..." He glanced down for a moment.

"The only question is, how are you going to get into the castle?" Celestia mused, "The guards won't let just anyone wander the upper levels of the castle." She sighed, her horn lighting up, a scroll and pen appearing in her hand, "I'm quite sorry for doing this on your back Ash." She began to write something on the scroll, before sending it off with her magic. "Mmm, now they'll let you. So do enjoy your time in Canterlot." Celestia smiled warmly at Stardust, causing the unicorn's face to light up for a moment.

"I will!" Stardust said, the sudden upswell of happiness flooding over the room once again.

Ash turns back to Celestia and holds a hand out. "That'll be 500 bits." Ash teased.

Celestia hummed, "Well I guess someone wants to sleep alone than..." She said in the most joking manner she could, nuzzling his neck, her arms wrapping back around him once again.

Stardust waved at the two, "I'm going to start my trip to Canterlot, hopefully I'll see you both later!" He vanished from the room in the same flash of light he had appeared in.

"Oooh, despite his... one track mind, he's quite cute. Mmm, I wonder how you met him." Celestia mused, "And what you did to such a small stallion..."

"I don't know about your libido, but that stallion?" Ash gave a chuckle before tightening his arm around her. "I think I need some time away from his bed."

"Oh? Someone so small, with a libido that scares even you he must be a demon." Celestia laughed. "You're going to have to tell me everything sometime. I'm sure it's quite the story." She nuzzled his neck again and softly kissed him on the lips. "For now though, why don't we both... well why don't I get dressed, and you create yourself some clothes? Then we can go bother Twilight and maybe meet her friends." She suggested. "Or did you want to do something else? It's all up to you..." She squeezed him tightly, covering his body in her graceful warmth.

"That sounds lovely. But right now... I don't want to move." Ash tightened his arms around her, deeply inhaling the scent of her hair.

"Take your time... I feel wonderful just being with you." Celestia laughed, resting her head against his chest, letting him nuzzle and smell her hair. "I love you."

"At least I found Luna a coltfriend. Though, I fear I doomed her to a fate worse than death." Ash started to laugh after a quick glance back to where Stardust was.

"Oh, I bet she can handle him. So long as he doesn't suddenly sprout tentacles too, she only has to worry about one appendage being used on her." Celestia laughed. "I mean... unless you did something to him that'd cause that..."

Ash continued to smile, but in a flash of remembrance, stared off into space as he became lost in recent memory.

"Ash, you didn't give him tentacles... did you?" Celestia asked again. "Please answer me."

"Just last night... why?" Celestia asked, tilting her head.

Ash nodded slowly in agreement. "Well, at the very least I've evened the scales." He mused aloud.

"What did you do to her?" Celestia asked curiously.

"My blood, my genes, have a deep ancestry with nature itself. There's much I can do that neither of you know about. Let's just say transfer of sexual fluids improves anything naturally they may be gifted with." Ash explained, licking his lips as his nostrils flared. "He was here for under ten minutes, and I could smell the changes on him. Taste it in the air." He grinned playfully. "Nothing they'll regret, trust me."

"Gods..." Celestia shivered, "You're just going to turn everypony you sleep with into a lust filled animal aren't you?" She teased "Well, I for one can't wait to see how wrecked the castle is when we get there." She laughed. "Mmm, and I have a feeling I know what that means for Luna and I... or maybe just for me." She smiled even more. "You're the gift that keeps on giving, you know that?" She joked, kissing his chest a few times before pushing out of his arms and dropping her towel to the ground, she stretched her wings out and turned away from him. "And you manage to give only the best to everypony..." She breathed out, shaking her hips.

Giving his snake-like grin, he brought his towel out to a full arm extension and dropped it. "No gift for you is too rich for my blood." Ash sent two tendrils up to coil around the mare's waist as he approached.

"Oh, why don't you show me then?" Celestia purred.

Stardust had drifted off to sleep, though that couldn't have been better for him. At least in his dreams he'd be able to practice what he was going to say and figure out what he was going to do without any interruptions.

Star took in a deep breath, "Alright..." He said. "First, I should probably begin with the most simple thing." He saw what he assumed to be a figment of his imagination now sitting across from him. He felt incredibly relaxed upon seeing Luna there, "Princess! I wanted to thank you for showing me that I am able to use my magic no matter what time of day it was... I feel like, without you I wouldn't have ever been able to learn that."

"I did nothing, Stardust. You did it yourself. You doubted yourself, all I did was show you what was possible." Luna smiled in return. She approached him and stopped about two feet away.

Stardust laughed quietly, "At the very least than, I still want to thank you in any way possible for helping me stop doubting myself. I feel it's only right." He tapped his chin for a moment, "Though... I'm at a loss." He closed his eyes for a moment. "I guess the easiest way would... well I could cook for you. But, what would I make?" He let out a small sigh, his eyes opening once again. "Heh, this is a little insane... talking to a part of my dream like it's actually Princess Luna." He laughed quietly.

"Oh Stardust, I accept your apology." Luna spoked. When his eyes focused directly on her, she was slipping off her nightgown. The further it slid down, the more Stardust realized how little she was wearing underneath.

Stardust's face flushed and he pressed back into the seat he was in. "O-okay..." He mumbled, his embarrassment showing fully, he watched her fully strip, and it only made his heart pound even harder. His eyes had gone wide by the time her night gown hit the floor, though now he wasn't showing only just embarrassment, and it was giving Luna quite the show as his miraculously large endowment strained against his thin layer of clothes. He was adorable to watch, just like when he was awake.

"Let me show you how warm the cold night can actually be." Luna cooed. Everything about her voice, her stance, her walk... it was all seductive, sultry. Stardust's heart was beating out of his chest. He couldn't determine whether he wanted to run away, or just start sobbing out of anxiety. Or both. But he soon realized that he couldn't move any part of his body. And she was getting closer.

Star only got more anxious as she approached, his eyes both following and looking over her body. He truly didn't understand what he wanted, or what was going on. Every fiber of his being was saying something different and it confused and excited him all at once. The only thing he truly knew is that this was so, so far from what he'd ever expected to happen. All he could do was watch her as he tried to collect any thoughts he could manage, the entire situation bashing his mind to pieces.

With nowhere left to approach, Luna brought her face closer. He could feel the heat radiating from her lips. "Shhhh..." She whispered to reassure him.

His eyes locked with hers and he attempted to relax, but everything about this was preventing him from relaxing. "T-that's kind of impossible..." He said quietly.

One quick blink later, and Stardust was no longer where he was. Taking a moment to catch his breath, he had just woken up. The train's horn had awoken him as it neared Canterlot Station.

Star was breathing heavily and he felt sticky as he'd been sweating profusely. He walked out of the train and onto the platform, shoving off the dream entirely as just one headtrip experience. He let out a long sigh, hefting his bag over his shoulder. "Alright, now I have to get to the castle." He said, slowly walking through the city.

As he had rarely been to Canterlot he was getting a mixture of looks for his near nudity and the bulge in what little clothes he was wearing. It was either disgust from groups of ponies, or the occasional hungry look from mares or some stallions. Stardust took absolute pride in his body, one of the few things he feels like he'd perfected for himself, so he'd just shoot a sultry smile towards those who stared too long at his bulge. Though for him it was just a small joke, he had more important things on his mind. It was rushing at thousands of miles an hour thinking of everything he could do to thank Princess Luna, and what else he could do with her.

He didn't even realize how quickly he had made it to the castle until two guards stopped him at the gates.

"Halt!" The first guard stated. "State your name and your business at the castle."

Star took in a deep breath and was about to begin.

"Hey, I think that's the stallion..." The second guard said, motioning for his companion to step back.

"Oh?" The first inquired, looking over Stardust for several seconds. "Alright, would you happen to be Stardust?"

"Yes! I am." Stardust nodded, looking between the two guards.

"Follow me than." The first guard motioned for Stardust to follow him into the castle.

Stardust knew Celestia had sent a note ahead, but that didn't explain him being lead deeper into the castle. It was almost like they were expecting him and had something planned out. The guard lead him to an empty bedroom, "Here you are." He motioned Stardust to walk in. Stardust entered the room and the guard closed the door behind him.

"Well... this is certainly a strange day." He sighed, setting his bag down. "I guess Princess Luna isn't available... and I'm going to guess she'll know I'm here soon enough." He fell down into the bed. "Might as well... get a bit more sleep, that way we can at least talk for as long as possible." Stardust slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep for the second time today. He was fast asleep before several long hours, and only woke up in the middle of the night. He pushed himself up out of the bed, stretching as he slowly woke up, "That felt really good." He yawned.

A gentle flickering flame caught his eye. There was a single candle in front of the door to his chamber. And his chamber door was open, which he definitely remembered closing. With nothing to do, curiosity took hold. He walked outside the room and saw a long row of identical candles. "Follow the yellow wax road." Stardust said to himself. He traveled along the fiery path to the second story balcony. He peered off the edge and saw the garden below. Amidst a larger, empty section of it, was a large blanket, with a basket, some kind of bottle, and a few more ornate candles. He glanced back at the trail of candles and spun around. "I know how to get there." He said aloud once more. Making his way outside, the picnic looked as if it was feeding ghosts. Nopony but him was around.

Stardust slowly sat down on the blanket, now he was unsure of whether or not he was dreaming. Either way he felt calm and now completely relaxed, he had a small idea on who could have set this all up, but he didn't truthfully understand why Luna would have gone to such trouble for him. He closed his eyes for a moment as he tried to think of what would have caused all this to happen. "Hmm..." He muttered quietly.

"Still having trouble with your magic?" Luna's voice made his heart skip a beat.

Star's eyes shot open and he looked over to Luna, "N-no! I actually came to... thank you for helping me." He started, smiling a little bit as he saw Luna.

"You must be hungry after the long train ride." Luna strode over and sat down as delicately as her title implied.

Stardust was now completely mystified, the graceful and absolutely stunning Princess looked so much... better than she ever had. He knew she wasn't that tall the last time he saw her, and well... though he had tried to not look at how curvaceous she was, he knew her breasts were smaller the last time, and it didn't help that her ass was definitely larger. He gulped and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. "Yeah... I am a little hungry." He swallowed dryly.

"Well, let us see what we have!" Luna laughed, ushering him toward the basket.

Stardust moved closer to the basket and opened it up, he could only barely utter out a gasp as he saw the food inside, all lined inside was his favorite foods, whether it be a French onion soup, or cinnamon rolls, among so many other things. He looked up at Luna with wide eyes, "You..." He looked back down for a moment. "W... wow." He mumbled, slowly reaching into the basket. "You... really went all out."

"Nonsense. It is the least I could do after all your help." Luna's words confused the stallion.

"What... are you talking about?" Stardust voiced his thoughts.

"My uncle told me about you. You brought him back into mine and my sister’s lives. I can't even begin to thank you." Luna was beaming, clearly happy at Ash's return. She lightly moved a hand on his upper thigh.

"Oh! Well... I wouldn't have done anything different. He was incredibly nice... and I don't think anypony should ever be alone." Stardust smiled for a moment, his eyes shifting down to her hand for an equally short amount of time. She noticed the slightest hint of a blush on his face once again. He was breaking all that she'd heard about him, and it just made the entire moment that much better. "I... didn't expect anypony to thank me for bringing him to Ponyville... I just did it all naturally." He added quietly, smiling in full again. She could see he was absolutely beaming.

Those words brought flashbacks of his dream. It only lasted a moment, but when he returned to reality, Stardust saw Luna's lips were much closer, as if recreating those unconscious moments.

Stardust's face reddened even more, he didn't know in the slightest how to act, his heart once again threatening to burst out of his chest. "P-Princess?" He asked quietly, his voice quivering cutely. "W-what... are you doing?"

"Making your dreams come true." Luna mused, pausing herself mere inches in front of his face.

As if losing himself for a single moment, she felt the softest touch of his lips on hers. He pulled back instantly, scooting a little ways back, his face now almost entirely red. He seemed scared that he had just done something incredibly wrong without even seeing her reaction.

Luna put a hand to her mouth an giggled quietly. Patiently, she sat on her knees and stared at him.

Stardust scooted back towards her and looked into her eyes. He seemed to relax a bit more. "W... well then." He said, smiling slightly. "Um..." He tilted his head for a moment. "I... can't really say I could have expected this..." He glanced down for a moment, "Princess..." He started, his eyes practically twinkling as he looked back up at her.

"My name is Luna, and your name is Stardust." Luna moved closer again, taking hold of his hand. "Now Stardust... what is my name?"

"Luna." Stardust said, his smile growing a little bit. He seemed to relax even further and this time gently grabbed her other hand. The twinkling in his eyes grew and made her smile even more. "Tonight's... been amazing so far." He complimented. "Thank you."

"I believe now it's my turn to apologise." Luna's head sank as a gentle wave of crimson washed over her cheeks.

"About what?" Stardust asked curiously, now letting go of her hand and softly caressing her cheek. "You haven't done anything wrong."

"Let us just say we saw this coming. You coming after us." Luna genuinely seemed to shrink with embarrassment. "We left you and made you come to us. It was incredibly rude of me. I tried to rationalize that it was to surprise you, to treat you, to be kind. But it was nothing that couldn't have been done back in Ponyville."

"And that's a problem?" Star tilted his head, now guiding her to look at him. "Because, I really don't see any problems with that... I mean, look at this, we're alone in the light of the night sky. It doesn't matter that it's here in Canterlot, or if it was back in Ponyville." He smiled widely. He was the one who leaned in closer this time, "And this is all an incredibly great surprise..." He laughed quietly before closing the gap and truly kissing her, even if it was just their lips coming in contact. "Luna, don't feel bad. You were doing what you though would be something amazing, and I agree with you, it is." He pulled back from her face, now he was gently cupping her cheek, his other hand squeezing hers.

Stardust felt her face warming, quite literally, in the palm of his hand. "You are quite the charmer." She nuzzled the hand caressing her, giving him a pair of gentle bedroom eyes.

"I try to be." He joked, smiling up at the beautiful mare. "Why don't we spend a bit of time getting a little closer?" He suggested, "I'd pull you into my lap and cuddle with you... but..." She gasped quietly as he climbed into her lap, his arms wrapping around her. "This might be a lot better for both of us." He smiled warmly up at her, he was practically radiating love by this point.

Luna let out a squeal that crumbled into laughter. "Now I understand why Ash wanted you and I to become colt and marefriend"

Stardust's smile grew nearly twice as large as before. "And he barely knew me." He laughed, his feelings for the near stranger growing even more. "He's incredibly intelligent... I wouldn't have ever thought he planned this out..." He pulled back from Luna's body for a moment, "Well... if you'll want me to be your coltfriend I'd be more than happy to. All you have to do is ask and I'll be right at your side, and you're more than welcome to stay at my home whenever you desire... just know, I love to cook... so you might find it impossible to leave the first time." He joked, nuzzling back into her neck.

Luna turned her gaze toward the sky. The moon was full, and the stars were as bright as flares. "You know... even the moon can get jealous." She said softly.

"That's the thing about the sun and the moon. They are one of a kind. They are all they have. Forever taunted by stars too far to touch. Lonely, drifting further and closer." Luna's eyes were watering as she stared into the twinkling void above. "While we may never be able to meet the stars, they are always there to give us hope. To show us we are not alone."

Stardust closed his eyes his smile quivering, he rested his head against her neck once again. Even without looking, Luna could tell his fullest attention was on her, and not a single thing in the world could ever pull that away.

Luna paused to collect her thoughts. "Celestia and I are older than you may know. We are from the celestial bodies we represent. We were lost, reaching for the infinite stars above, so desperate for attention. So desperate for love..." She seemed to be gathering every ounce of her resolve to continue. "Ponies think that the sun may make you go blind. But it was the stars that took our senses. Our hopes and dreams... when all along, we were stars ourselves. One day, we finally looked down. And we didn't see bright lights or vast darkness. We saw you... Equestria. A world of wonderful creatures. Creatures who we related to more. While we wished to touch the stars... they simply wanted us. "

She felt him lovingly nuzzle her, almost like he was unsure of what to say, and could only act. Luna looked down and saw the smile he still firmly held, but now there were tears in his eyes. His heart knew it had found the truest beauty, he didn't feel worthy of being in her presence, now more than ever before. But he knew that didn't matter all he wanted, the only thing he truly could say he wanted was to make her feel special. He was going to give her everything he could, and he may not be much compared to what she was used to, that wouldn't ever stop him from trying. "Luna..." He said quietly, his eyes meeting hers once again.

Luna brushed some of his hair back with a hand, never taking her eyes off his. "No matter what happens to this world, life always finds a way back. But it never comes back alone." She continued. Her tone was soaked with both joy, and intrigue.

He caressed her cheek once again, his smile grew a bit softer. In a single moment he leaned up, their lips meeting and a passion unlike anything the two had felt before flooded their bodies. Their eyes slid shut as they stayed locked in the kiss for several long seconds. "Luna, you... you are the single most beautiful... amazing... and absolutely wondrous being alive. I want... no I NEED to give you everything, everything that I am, everything I can be. I swear that nothing... not a single damn thing will ever stop me from doing that." Stardust began, wrapping his arms around her neck and pulling her back into his lips. "I will never let you be alone again. If I do, than I never deserved to be with you in the first place." He breathed, his eyes remaining locked with hers, and in the most caring way he kissed the end of her nose. "I am yours, now and forever." He squeezed her close, "Some may say I'm not much... but anything I can give you... I feel like it'll be worthwhile. Even if all it does is make you smile, that's all I'll need. All I need is you..." He finished quietly, tears now sliding down his face. "Luna I love you. I love you in ways... I didn't even think it was possible to love somepony!"

Luna shushed him with a finger. "Shh... my bright little Star." She leaned closer and gave him a kiss this time. This final one seemed never ending. Amidst that time, they allowed their hands to feel, grope, squeeze every inch of each other they could find.

He moaned quietly into her mouth, pulling back after what seemed like centuries of being attached to her lips. They both took in deep breaths, he was the first to speak, a single question on his lips. "What did you mean... when you said, 'Life never comes back alone.'?"

Luna beamed at the acknowledgement. "As I said, Celestia is the embodiment of the sun. I am the embodiment of the moon. Eventually we found out that this theme wasn't subjected to merely those two majestic bodies."

Stardust tilted his head and gave her his fullest attention again, "What do you mean?" He inquired curiously.

"As the sun, and my sister are the embodiments of light. I, Princess Luna, and the moon above, embody darkness and shadow. But Equestria was in between us. This planet contains both light, and dark. And as with any powerful being, this world had it's own avatar as well." Luna's eyes were practically glowing to emphasize how serious she was.

"Ash..." Stardust said as began to understand.

"Life rises from the ashes. To be honest, there are a fair share of secrets we know not about him. Ash is the only creature that truly made my sister afraid." Luna chuckled lightly. "I think we're both still a little cautious. If only because of how little we still know. There was something off about him when we first met."

"What exactly did you find... off about him?" He asked quietly.

"Well, most ponies in Equestria share both light and dark. Some more than others." Luna explained, crossing her legs and sitting up a tad more straight. "But darkness isn't always bad, and light isn't always good. Celestia and I have our faults. When we first arrived here, we both were seeking the same thing. Attention." She mused, her brows furrowing.

"I'm sure you both received it..." Star cuddled into her body. "But... what happened after you both arrived?"

"You'd be surprised." Luna mumbled with a short-lived frown. Shaking her head, she continued. "The light makes everyone happy. Everypony comes out to greet the sun. As I said, both light and dark are double edged swords. Celestia embodied what everypony knew as the sun. So they associated the sun with Princess Celestia. But you'd be surprised just what those embodiments actually stand for." She deadpanned. While Star may have technically just met Luna, he noticed something all too familiar. Something in her eyes. It was... anger.

"Luna... please..." Star began quietly, tightening his caring grasp on her. "Don't get angry..." He seemed to plead with her, almost like he was scared of what would happen if she got too angry... scared of losing her.

"For each yin, there is yang. For each virtue that made up the good, there was equal sin to counteract. In such a hurry to make her name, Celestia boasted of her charity, her kindness to others. Searching for her own star, she grew blind of her own pride." Luna scoffed as the last words ran off her tongue.

Stardust seemed to grow more worried with each new word. Though he tried to keep himself steady and attentive. "And... I-I'm scared to ask about what happened to you..." He mumbled quietly.

"As with the end of every day, the night came, and I was given my crown. I was given the gift of silence. An empty void to rule over in the cold, darkness." Luna's eyes flickered red momentarily. "While Celestia painted her autobiography, I waited. I honed the temperance my solitude gifted me. I watched the day end, and our subjects hide in their homes. I was back to watching the stars. They were all I had left, once again like the days of old. Only this time, when I finally looked down... the only emotion left was jealousy." Luna was practically engaged up until that final word. Her whole body seemed to shrink limply, sliding into a fetal position.

Stardust pulled her into his arms, cradling her as lovingly as he could. In his arms she felt a warmth never before felt, he was pouring his heart and soul into her, just to make her feel truly loved and wanted. He didn't know what else to do, other than show her every ounce of devotion and love he could muster. She now found herself in his lap, her head resting against his chest. "Luna..." He said softly.

Luna was sobbing in full, hugging him and babbling uninterpretable gibberish.

Stardust held her head close and kissed her over and over again. He did everything he could to help her calm down. He soon pulled her into his fully loving hold, never for a second letting her forget his feelings for her. "Luna please... please calm down." He said softly, holding her as tightly as he could manage, he nuzzled her mane. His body seemed to warm even more, almost like he was using his magic to do it, just to draw Luna in even closer and help her calm down. "I'm never going to leave you..." He whispered softly, "You deserve somepony to make you truly happy... and I'll never let you cry again. Never let you feel jealousy again, from now on, I'll do everything in my power to make you the single happiest and most loved mare to ever have stepped foot on the planet." He pulled her head up one more time and kissed her with a fire she hadn't ever felt. It felt like everything was fading to nothing except his body and his warmth.

Luna's sobs were halted immediately. Both ponies were brought to utter silence, their lips still stuck together. The last vestiges of any remaining tears slipped from Luna's eyes as she leaned into his body. Stardust felt her cool hands caress his cheeks. He felt as though he might cry, if only because his beloved had stopped.

The kiss lasted longer than any they had shared before, and it went much deeper. Their tongues collided, tasting each others mouths they each softly moaned, only to slowly pull away mere moments later. Their tongues pulled apart outside their mouths, almost like it was the most painful thing ever to separate.

"That's... much better." He sniffled, their eyes remaining locked as they remained near motionless except for their breathing. He smiled warmly, caressing her cheek.

Luna looked as if she was about to start crying again. At least this time she was smiling. "You remind me so much of him."

"Of who?" Star asked, feeling a bit better now that she was smiling again.

"Ash. Equestria knows of my sister and I... but Ash is the real star. There's so much he has done for this world, and never once asked for any recognition. I can honestly say that without him, I may still be banished to this day. And my sister... she would be something else."

Star shivered a little, "I can't even imagine what it must have been like for him." He sighed quietly. "And... I can't even imagine what your sister would have become... just even the thought scares me."

Luna was almost hesitant to say something. "There is something I have never told sister. I think she deserves to know."

Star paused for a moment, "And... what haven't you ever told her?" He asked uncertainly.

"I'd much rather you hear it when I tell her in person. I just... have dreaded it for some time now." She bit down on one of her nails anxiously.

"Alright, then it can wait." Star pulled her hand down into his, squeezing it softly. He gently ran his other hand through her hair.

"But I'm in no rush. For now, why don't we eat before the food gets cold." Luna closed her eyes and leaned into him with a gentle sigh.

"That'd be wonderful." Star smiled, holding her close. "Did you plan anything else for tonight?" He asked, gently bringing a cinnamon roll out of the basket, "Or perhaps we should just let the rest of the night come naturally?" He suggested, gently bringing the dessert to her lips, offering her the first bite.

"If there's one thing I've learned from my uncle, it's that sometimes... natural is best."

Chapter 6: Terror

Celestia had laid out across Twilight's throne, though opposed to her usual demeanor she was stark naked, "Ooh, this feels so good... now I know why you don't wear clothes." She joked.

Ash slithered into Spike's seat and leaned off the side, folding his arms on Celestia's armrest. The playful look on his face made it difficult for her not to smile. "Now that we have arrived in the meeting chambers, what is our first order of business, my Princess?" He inquired, snaking his head a little further and kissing Celestia's hand.

"Besides you?" Celestia teased, letting out a small yawn, "Hm, I could go for something to eat."

"As you wish." Ash attempted to climb out of the small chair, noticing he was wedged between the armrests. After a momentary pause, he looked up at Celestia. "Does this chair make me look fat?"

Celestia covered her mouth, but even that couldn't stop her laughter. "Oh my... you really should have pulled up a chair you silly stallion." She laughed, slowly standing up. "I guess I have to help you up." She leaned down, and grabbed both his hands, slowly helping to pull him out of the small chair.

Ash took hold of both her arms, but made no attempt to pull himself up. Celestia stood at a 90 degree angle, and he wasn't making it easy to help him.

"You're going to have to make an attempt to get up." Celestia sighed.

Neither of them took notice of the door opening up. "Alright, you can all wait in here, while I go geeeeeeehhhhh..." Twilight's voice trailed off as she saw the sun in it's full glory in her throne room. "Uuuh, j-just stay out there for a few moments..." She quickly said.

Ash's head tilted to the side to look around the towering alicorn. "Oh hey Twilight!" He called happily, still holding on to Celestia's arms.

"W-what are you both... doing naked in my throne room?" Twilight asked, her face turning red.

"You know what I'm doing naked. The real question is, what is she doing." Ash motioned to the bent over princess.

"Ash... Let go of me right now." Celestia said calmly, glaring down at the stuck stallion.

"Please tell me I won't find massive puddles of cum all over the room." Twilight said.

Ash had planned to keep the joke going as long as possible, but what he saw when he gazed into Celestia's eyes made his ears fold back. "Sorry." He said, releasing her immediately.

"I'm not mad." Celestia said quickly, hugging him tightly.

"No no! It was immature of me." Ash spoke softer, cupping her cheeks and returning a gentle smile.

"Still, I'm not mad." Celestia said, smiling down at him. "Now, I'm going to get dressed... you should at least cover up your cock." She suggested, "At least for a little bit." Celestia let go of Ash and teleported back to the room she and Ash had used last night.

Twilight was left staring at the stark naked stallion, her face still a bright crimson. "Well... first there's last night, now I find you both naked in my throne room, what's next?" She asked jokingly.

Ash stood up from the chair he was stuck in effortlessly. As he stood, countless strands re-clothed his body. Or rather, re-clothed the bottom half of his body. The silky green pants hugged his shape perfectly. "Hey." He replied casually.

"Hi." Twilight responded, glancing back at the door, "It's safe to come in now." She said, all of her friends walking into the throne room. They all stopped and stared wide-eyed at Ash for a few moments.

"Aweeesoooome!" Rainbow Dash said giddily as a wide grin came across her face.

"He looks so cool!" Pinkie bounced up and down.

"Alright, girls this is Ash." Twilight introduced him, "Ash, these are my friends, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack." She pointed to each mare respectively.

Ash's eyes scanned the group, seemingly in disbelief. His gaze finally returned to Twilight, like he had just made some kind of discovery. "Really?" He said aloud to nopony in particular.

Twilight's eyes narrowed. "What's that supposed to mean?" She asked.

"Tell me Twilight, when did you get your cutie mark?" Ash inquired out of nowhere.

"When I went to try to become Celestia's student..." Twilight said. "Why is that important?"

Ash let out a quiet gasp. His hands shot up to his head , and his eyes were so wide they looked on the verge of falling out. "You... but I..." He started to hyperventilate.

Twilight was instantly by his side, her arms wrapping around him, guiding him to sit down. "Ash, what's wrong?" She asked quickly, the fear evident in her voice.

Collecting himself, Ash snapped his eyes back to the violet alicorn. "What is your name?" He inquired, staring right at her with mixed emotions.

"Ash... y-you know who I am... I'm Twilight Sparkle..." Twilight said uncertainly, her eyes now wide.

Ash's ears perked up and he glanced down at her hips. "Show me your cutie mark. I need to be sure of something..."

Twilight stared at Ash for a moment before showing him her cutie mark, "Alright..." She said, raising an eyebrow. "There you go?"

"H-how... how old are you?" Ash's questions became more illusive by the second.

"Twenty-four... Ash, is something wrong? D-do you need me to go get you anything?" Twilight asked quietly, still worried about him.

"How did you become an alicorn?" Ash quickly followed up, his gaze as serious as she'd ever seen it.

"I finished a spell that Starswirl the Bearded had started. And after... a huge, HUGE mix up with a lot of things, I became an alicorn." Twilight said, tilting her head slightly.

Ash's eyes wandered for a long moment as he became lost in thought. "One last question." He uttered almost reluctantly.

"How many Elements of Harmony are there...?"

“Six.... well now they’re back in the Tree Of Harmony...” Twilight said.

Ash's hands shot back to his head, and this time he let out a scream that resonated through the crystal castle. Everyone was forced to cover their ears. The sound traveled far and wide, stopping the entirety of Ponyville in it's tracks. The walls of the map room began to crack and splinter as the entire castle began to shake.

“OH MY GODS!” Twilight shouted, barely stumbling back onto the floor. Celestia had teleported back into the room, and quickly cast a spell to muffle the sound, at least as long as her magic would hold the scream back.

“What the hell happened?” Celestia asked quickly.

“I don’t know! He was just asking me questions, and after I told him there were only six Elements of Harmony, this happened!” Twilight responded just as quickly.

Had Ash merely been screaming, it may have held. But his clothes once again disassembled, countless tendrils of all sizes flailing wildly in every direction. Every time one hit the barrier, Celestia cringed, attempting to maintain it.

“EVERYONE OUT NOW!” Celestia shouted, the six other mares rushing out of the room. Celestia barely managed to teleport herself out before the barrier broke, leaving all of them with only the world shaking sound of Ash’s scream.

"The audacity!" Ash's screams grew more syllogistic by the moment. More words able for the group to comprehend. "During MY IMPOTENCE! " He shrieked through gritted teeth. "Churlish!"

“W-what’s he talking about?” Rarity was the first to ask, looking to Celestia for any answer.

“I don’t know!” Celestia said, sounding incredibly scared. Her fear rapidly spreading to the others.

All they could do was watch his rage unfold. There were plenty of his tendrils still slashing and breaking apart the room, but most of them began to stitch together in the same manner as when he clothed himself. Only this was different. The patterns of the outfit that was slowly forming was reminiscent of a dragon's scales. Fully formed, it looked as if he was in a full suit of armor. What they assumed would be the helmet formed around his head. At once, the entire suit he had formed tightened around him, going from looking like a royal knight, to looking like a creature from the deepest recesses of the Evergreen Forest. It looked more like his actual skin than something he wore. The head piece left no room to breathe (or so it appeared), leaving only a visor for where his eyes would be. After it tightened, his face looked smooth, featureless. The only noteable thing were his unchanged, white eyes.

All of them felt nothing but incredible fear and uncertainty. Twilight and Celestia acting as a protection for the rest of them as they hid from the sight.

“No...” Celestia muttered quietly, her heart threatening to pound out of her chest. “Please... Ash...” She said quietly, her horn lighting up forming a protective barrier over all of them, Twilight’s magic adding to it, making what they could only hope was a near indestructible defense for them.

“W-what... the hell is going on...” Twilight mumbled quietly, trying her hardest to keep what little composure she could, Celestia struggling to do the same.

Then something happened that made all their hearts sink. Ash looked at them…

“Ash!” Celestia shouted, trying desperately to bring him back. The only thing she had left was hope, and it was all directed at saving everyone. “Please! Ash calm down!”

All the remaining tentacles froze, then aimed at the group. Each tendril grew uniquely dangerous. Some forming spear-like tips. Some growing barbs that dripped a fuming, crimson liquid. Others had line after line of razors jutting from them. Nopony had time to react as a barrage of jabs and attacks swarmed the barrier from all sides.

All of them screamed, near panic coming across all of them. Celestia’s heart truly sank as for the first time in centuries she felt the most primal version of fear, the fear of death. It felt like nothing was going to stop this barrage, and they were doomed to die in here... and who knows how many others would follow.

Applejack grabbed Rarity and yanked her aside as a tendril pierced the shield. The limb slashed at anything it could reach, but there was a certain pattern. Not long to analyze, Twilight flashed her magic into the barrier. The gaps reformed, cutting the tendril that broke through in half. Ash cringed, and all the extra weapons slashing around froze, shaking as if trying to hold in a scream. In a sudden gasp from Ash, everything about his body, tendrils and all, seemed to freeze like a statue. Saying his eyes would be blank would be utterly nonsensical, but something was off about them. Like he was remembering something. Slowly returning to a non-catatonic state, Ash’s entire focus turned to Twilight.

“Th-that… may h-have made it much worse…” Celestia could barely utter out.

Ash’s eyes narrowed. What was a once raging beast turning in an instant to a sinister, calculating gaze. Everypony in the room could feel the air shift as he did nothing but stare.

All of them were scared to so much as even breathe, it was as if the truest meaning of fear was now staring them in the face and there was not a single thing any of them could do to stop it.

A quick flash seemed to permeate the room. Everpony saw the mask vanish for only a split second. They all were stunned, unable to move. The image they saw was like a photograph. One they saw every time they closed their eyes. Those white eyes, and his razor sharp teeth in a menacing grin that made their skin crawl. Slowly, Ash descended to his knees and folded his arms. The tendrils then began to act strangely. Each of them moved slowly, waving at different speeds, in different directions. It was as if a million snakes were staring at their prey, searching for a weakness, waiting for the right moment. But something didn’t feel right.

“There… were more tendrils when he attacked. Why isn’t he using more?” Celestia droned in the most serious, barely perceptible tone anypony had ever heard from her. The princess looked as cold as Ash did, as if waiting for a counterattack. While her friends were still petrified, Twilight felt calm. Scarily so… as if her old mentor was giving her the same courage she had. Furrowing her brows, Twilight turned her gaze back to Ash. Again, the image flashed in her mind, trying to distract her. An occasional flinch would come from Twilight as the image grew closer every time, like a bolt of lightning hitting the window of this very room. Deception was the game being played, and Celestia wasn’t falling for it, neither was Twilight.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, Twilight spotted something that stopped her train of thought. There was something behind Ash. But she couldn’t quite see it. Every time she tried to get a closer look, that nightmarish image screamed in her mind. But she wasn’t going to play this waiting game. Balling her fists, Twilight disappeared in a flash of violet light, and reappeared beside Ash. The calm embodiment of nature, for the first time, looked surprised. His gaze was locked on her, while she was prepared. Ash was busy thinking of what to do, while Twilight already was two moves ahead. Slithering just behind Ash’s legs were many small tendrils that went missing. They were burrowing into the ground.

Twilight’s heart sank, her head snapping to her friends and letting out a guttural cry to warn them. The shout was cut short as a vine wrapped around her neck, silencing the alicorn. At that moment, Celestia had the same realization, but too late. Below the ponies feet, tendrils came from the ground and snapped around every limb, binding them. The shield flickered and died, leaving them all paralysed in his barbed bind.

“Don’t move.” Celestia announced in a stern tone. All five of Twilight’s friends stopped before they even began. They hadn’t noticed, but every tendril had tiny nettles lining them. Holding still, they were fine. But should they move, it would tear into them all. Ash’s eyes casually wandered to the bound solar princess. Any essence of seriousness had left the deranged pony. There was an utterly bizarre sense of calm about him now that everyone was trapped.

Turning back to Twilight, Ash began to approach closer. Twilight attempted to teleport, only for the spikes around her to tighten. Each time even an ounce of magic surged, she could feel the barbs getting closer to piercing into her throat like a masochistic dog collar. A scream was uttered that stopped everypony’s hearts. The entire room turned to Celestia. The alicorn’s horn was flaring, even as blood ran down each vine holding her. Ash’s eyes widened, but not out of surprise… out of fear. With a stumble, Ash stepped back and quickly released the vines from around Celestia.

Celestia’s entire expression changed back to her angry look. The feint worked just as she planned. Before Ash could react, a paper thin wave of magic flew between him and Twilight, severing every tendril binding the purple alicorn. Ash let out a pained scream, falling down to one knee. Every tentacle he had retracted, freeing everypony. Ash’s eye twitched as he fought through the sea of agony colliding with every nerve in his body. His gaze was transfixed on Celestia, but his stance was hesitant. From the corner of his eye, a purple aura began to flicker in his peripheral. Time seemed to slow as he turned to Twilight, preparing to teleport everyone from the castle. In an instant, Ash’s stance changed, looking as if he was about to pounce.

Twilight and Ash’s eyes were locked in a stare that seemed to last an eternity. Her attention was on him, but also focusing on her spell. As each second ticked by like minutes, more of his bladed arsenal was coming from every direction, yet Twilight didn’t move, nor flinch. Closer they grew, the spell was not nearly fast enough. But right before they made contact with the pony, they simply stopped. But not as if he had gotten second thoughts, but as if something was holding him back. Ash’s gaze shifted back to Celestia, but she wasn’t doing anything but watching. His mind was racing. Nothing made sense to him. Why was he halted?

Finally, Ash traced a strange teal line floating in the air. As his eyes followed, it seemed to trace through the air into a circle. It was making more and more sense the longer he stared. That circle was vertical, and standing between him and Twilight. Picking up the glare of the rising sun in the window, Ash looked stunned. The circle slowly filled in like a window was there separating the two. The more light that shone on the magical wall, the more color filled in. A bright teal aura was nothing he knew anypony around to have. It wasn’t Twilight’s magic, nor Celestia, not even Rarity.

“Starlight!” Twilight’s voice broke the silence. Ash’s attention snapped to the doorway of the room. There stood a pony he had never seen before. Unbeknownst to him, her name was Starlight Glimmer.

“Leave them alone.” Starlight glared at the slithering cache of living weapons.

Ash didn’t hesitate. A dozen of his tendrils launched out in every direction, all gravitating toward the newcomer. Starlight stood there motionless. Each time one tentacle was about to hit her, a miniature shield flickered to block. The first tendril that hit the smaller barrier instantly disintegrated. Ash let out a gasp, pulling everything back and returning his appendages to his body. The armor around him seemed to become denser with every tendril that returned to his body. Blades and spikes grew around the protection, making him look that much more threatening.

“H… how is she… managing that?” Rainbow Dash asked, still absolutely trembling.

“When she wasn’t on our side, I was the only one that really saw her fight. In all honest, not even I can beat her.” Twilight smiled for the first time since all of this started.

Ash’s gaze turned menacing once more, his attention returning to Twilight. The aura in the room changed once more. The cold calculated mind that once stared through his eyes faded, and the raging beast from earlier took hold. This time, Ash seemed to shift in appearance. The white eyes everyone knew him to so proudly display turned a deep yellow. Ash lunged at Twilight, his claws slashing wildly. Another teal flash graced the room, this time it sounded like a bolt of lightning. One second Ash was in the air, the next he was against the wall. The crystal wall he landed at cracked as he hit it, knocking the breath from his lungs.

“This is between you and me freak.” Starlight stated with another glare.

Those yellow eyes are definitely familiar. The last time they felt this aura was when he first went mad. It didn’t seem like it was Ash at all. Then, Ash paused, straightening up. His right eye turned from yellow, to black. He stood there, glancing down, tilting his head, and mumbling inaudibly. It was as if he was talking to himself. Looking at the black eye, everyone got a chill down their spine. For everypony except Starlight, they recognized it as the same feeling as when his calmer, calculated side took hold. It wasn’t hard for them to put the pieces together. Whatever was in front of them wasn’t Ash. It was only using him… ‘they’ were using him.

“Don’t… don’t kill him…” Celestia pleaded, the uncertainty clear in her voice, “W… We c-can still get him back…”

“All I see is a monster trying to kill my friends.” Starlight didn’t even give Celestia a glance, her gaze never leaving Ash.

“There’s something controlling him!” Twilight quickly added. “This… this isn’t him…”

A split second was all it took. Starlight’s eyes transfered to Twilight. A blur passed by the violet princess. Starlight snapped to attention, attempting to shield herself. Another bolt of magic, this time glowing of gold energy, struck Ash. By the time everyone’s mind had caught up, Ash was in front of Starlight, his claws stopped mere inches from the unicorn’s throat. Twilight and Starlight turned to the source, seeing Celestia standing taller than ever, her horn brilliantly illuminating the room. Ash was shaking, electricity coursing through his body like a thousand tasers were pointed at him. Slowly, Ash again fell to one knee. His eyes shifted to Starlight, painfully slow in his attempt to reach toward her. Another golden arrow struck the dazed Ash, his back arching as his muscles locked. Finally, he fell back, collapsing to the floor.

Ash was still wide eyed, his eyes flickering rapidly between black and yellow. A bright flash of Starlight’s magic encompassed Ash in a cell made from her blazing energy. Ash’s body relaxed as the electricity left his body. His chest was heaving. His eyes closed, and Ash seemed to pass out.

“I… is i-it over?” Applejack could barely get the words out. Celestia snapped her gaze to Twilight’s friends.

“Leave. Find Spike, get a message to my sister.” Celestia commanded in a voice that shook the room. The five mares couldn’t have gotten out of there faster, leaving Celestia, Twilight, and Starlight alone with Ash. Starlight maintained the prison around Ash, but turned her attention to the royal duo.

“Somepony explain what is going on.” Starlight looked more concerned than angry now.

“We… really don’t know, he was fine one moment then… something just took hold of him and he started attacking us.” Twilight explained, giving Starlight all that they really knew about the situation.

“Where did he even come from?” Starlight’s brows furrowed. “That’s the one thing I don’t understand.”

Twilight and Starlight turned to Celestia for answers. Though something was off… Celestia wasn’t looking at them anymore. Following her gaze to the magical cage, Ash was gone.

Chapter 7: Peace?

Luna and Stardust were already on the train to Ponyville. Both ponies were in silence as Luna read the letter again and again.

“I… I just don’t… wh… why would he do anything like that? What the hell’s going on with him?” Stardust broke the silence his voice straining to even come out. He shook his head still utterly devastated and in complete disbelief over the letter.

“I am the one that grew up with him. You don’t have to tell me that, Stardust.” Luna was just as worried, constantly looking out the window for the arriving station. Neither of them could pass the time fast enough to make their destination arrive faster.

He put his head in his hands, unable to articulate any thoughts. Everything was just too much for him to comprehend. “I…” He could barely mumble now, so many things were washing over him.

“Don’t jump to conclusions. We have to assume there is a reason. We would be just as insane not to.” Luna finally snapped her gaze back to Stardust with a stern, yet still worried look.

“I know… I’m just…” He shivered a little, “I’m worried about everything… I don’t want anything to happen to him, and… I don’t want anything to happen to anypony else.” Stardust said quietly, looking up at her. “I’ve just… never felt so… so unsure of anything in my life…” His entire demeanor seemed much darker than ever before, it was as if something in him was multiplying his uncertainty and worry ten times over leaving nothing else inside of him. “I’m… so damn scared that something terrible is happening… a-and th-this is just the start of it all…” He suddenly lunged at Luna, his arms wrapping tightly around the princess. He seemed to be silently pleading with her, for comfort in all of this. She knew from the night before, he was scared of losing anypony, most of all it seemed to be he was truly scared of losing her and Ash.

Later, back at Ponyville.

Twilight, Celestia, and Starlight were deathly silent. Their hearts threatened to explode with how panicked they were beating. “Where did he go?” Starlight seemed genuinely startled for the first time since she arrived.

“I don’t know… he could have gone anywhere.” Celestia shivered at the thought.

“We need to find him!” Twilight stated.

“If he hates you as much as he portrayed, he’ll come to us.” Starlight stepped up to Twilight with a serious stare. Looking into the unicorn’s eyes, Twilight could see concern for Twilight’s like past the dozens of layers of fortitude and willpower she so stoically shows on a daily basis.

“He…” Twilight could barely mutter out. She closed her eyes, “Y-...” Her voice was choked almost as if she didn’t really know what to say anymore. “We… we need to prepare for him to return than…” She said quietly,

“Luna should be arriving here shortly… we’ll be more than ready.” Celestia assured, “I… just hope he comes back to us. That… that was unlike anything I’d ever seen. It truly wasn’t him.”

A light whimper made Celestia and Twilight’s ears perk. They turned and saw that their greatest line of defense was gone. Shock and terror were all the emotions the two mares felt as they saw the vines wrapped around Starlight’s neck and horn. They saw just how close the thorns were to the unicorn’s neck, or more precisely, how close they were to penetrating the skin.

“N-no!” Twilight gasped out, her mind racing for any way to get her friend out of harm's way.

“Ash!”

A figure’s outline filled in beside Starlight. It was clearly Ash, however he was hiding began to falter. His gaze slowly turned to the entrance. Standing there was Stardust, with Luna just behind him. Ash’s shoulders slumped over. “Star… dust?” Ash’s true voice uttered quietly. Before anypony could respond, Stardust’s aura disintegrated every single vine in the room with a heat so violent that even the armor he had built melted. His body was flung into wall, after wall, after wall, dragging his face through the diamond-strength walls as if it was made of candy. The fire in Starlight’s eyes bled a hate as crimson as the light trickle of blood on her neck.

Stardust’s gaze turned only momentarily to Starlight before the unicorn felt a much more oppressive aura surround her, hanging almost like a thick gas around her entire being. Before anyone could so much as react Starlight vanished along with Ash, having been teleported some distance away from the castle. As Ash’s body hit the ground Stardust was quick to move beside him, kneeling down beside the massive plant pony.

“S-star… My Stardust.” Ash’s white eyes were clear as the stars, though they were trying their hardest to keep the rest at bay. Stardust remained quite, gently cupping Ash’s cheek. A few tears forming in the unicorn’s eyes.

“Ash…” He whispered softly, his voice filled with nothing but the purest form of love and care. He pulled Ash into his arms as best he could, holding him tightly, almost like the only thing he feared from Ash was him vanishing forever. Tears now sliding freely down his face, “I…” He choked back a sob, “Please… please stay…” He begged softly.

Ash grabbed Stardust’s head, cupping each cheek. “Kill me… you need to before it- it’s t-too late…” Ash pleaded.

“I can’t… I can’t kill you…” Stardust shook his head, squeezing Ash closer. “I… I can’t lose you…” He sobbed, leaning down for just a moment, his lips touching Ash’s in a soft kiss that betrayed every ounce of fear Stardust had. The tall plant pony’s eyes widened. Tears poured from his white gaze. Slowly, Ash’s eyes closed, and he embraced Stardust with a hug so gentle that, despite his condition, still believed Stardust was a brittle as a matchstick. The two were together for the longest fraction of time. Surprising the unicorn, Ash stood up, pulling Stardust with him without much effort. Ash’s gaze never for a moment left Star’s.

Stardust just squeezed Ash tighter, not wanting to even entertain the idea of separating from the larger stallion. Though eventually he had to, taking in a deep breath. “I love you Ash.” He said, tears still running down his face, “I love you so much…” He sniffled.

“I know. And the last thing I’m going to do is hurt myself, because the only thing worse than death… is causing you pain.” Ash’s sanity seemed to have taken full control, yet the two of them felt as though it wasn’t over quite yet. Stardust nuzzled Ash for a few moments, his face pressing harder into Ash’s neck. Star’s tears began anew, and he didn’t hold them back. In that moment Stardust had felt his heart nearly stop, Ash brought something back that Stardust didn’t know how to handle. All he could do was hug Ash tightly, there was no silence in the room, Star’s heart was beating far too loudly to let that happen, it seemed like it was about to explode.

Minutes into their embrace had passed before the two noticed that everypony else had found them. Though everypony was still only Celestia, Luna, Starlight, and Twilight. The rest of her friends had gone to safety, knowing far too well they were outmatched and would only get in the way should things go wrong.

“There’s something I have to do.” Ash whispered to Stardust.

Stardust looked up at Ash, “What… do you have to do?” He asked shakily.

Ash stood up and made eye contact with Starlight Glimmer. The two maintained their gazes before finally Starlight nodded. “There’s no point in talking. I was fully willing to die and take you two with me, and I said I wouldn’t allow myself to die for Stardust’s sake. But I can’t promise that Starlight will do the same, so consider your options before you even think about your next move.” Ash finished, stating everything aloud. Everypony was deathly silent. Not a word came immediately, just the wind. What breeze that blew only seemed to hit Ash. In fact, nopony else even felt such a gust. His left eye gave off a solid black, radiating a darkness that no light could penetrate. The other eye was the familiar yellow, and it had electricity arcing around in front of the lids. The mix of energies built, and built, Ash’s fists balling angrily. The anger and hatred that radiated said energies showed the slightest hint of white encircling them.

Each eye looked like an eclipse, except the white circles gave off an even brighter white. The white began to engulf the rest, beginning to engulf and entrap the energies in a tomb of brilliant white glass. Ash brought his hands to his eyes, and everypony was blinded by a blinding white flash. When everyone returned their gaze to Ash, his hands were down by his sides, and his eyes were closed.

Starlight still felt a bit uneasy, “Is everything… okay?” She asked quietly, almost worried that they had only just experienced the tip of a massive iceberg.

“Ash… a-are you okay?” Celestia’s voice cracked, though she didn’t take a step forward.

The rest of them could still feel each entity’s presence. The question is, when Ash opened his eyes, would it be Ash? There was a palpable tension in the air that tasted so bad that everypony was on the verge of nausea. Finally, his eyes opened. They were greeted by two bright white orbs, and familiar, razor sharp rows of shark teeth. “Hey.” Ash said casually.

Everypony breathed a collective sigh of relief, Stardust once again tightly hugged Ash, nuzzling the larger stallion lovingly.

“Thank the gods…” Twilight breathed out, finally able to relax after everything that had happened.

“You’re going to need to take a step back.” Ash asked as politely as possible, his smile turning to a frown. Everypony saw his fists were still balled, and they saw the familiar black energy leaking from between the fingers of his left hand, and the yellow electricity spark out from the right. Stardust teleported himself back to the rest of the group, everypony else taking a few steps back. Ash held his hands out, slowly unballing his fists. The appropriate hands released two perfectly round spheres of energy. Each ball levitating up, pausing at eye-level. “I would suggest you end this war, but we both know that isn’t going to happen.” He said in a quiet, almost depressed tone.

In the blink of an eye, two figures were standing side-by-side in front of Ash. Whatever they were, the group saw what they were really fighting back in the castle. The yellow figure was the tallest. It was taller than both Ash and Celestia. His frame was bestial, wide, imitating a muscular body. It looked more like a Minotaur, though it lacked horns and anything else similar other than the shape.

The black figure was darker than shadow. Staring at it sent chills down everpony’s spines. Though they were both unnatural, this one was different. There was one word that described it. A single word that all the ponies staring into it agreed universally. Malevolent. Utter Malevolence. The figure shared a shape more akin to Ash, only much shorter, with a much more elegant and straight posture. The one thing both creatures shared were two, white, eyes. The two entities stayed long enough to burn themselves into everypony’s mind. A bolt of lightning identical to their colors flashed, leaving a burn mark where they once stood.

Ash smiled and let out a long sigh of relief. “Adios little brothers.” He uttered a farewell. Looking back to everypony else. “Is everypony okay?”

Everypony was simply staring at Ash, all of them not really comprehending what they just saw.

“W…” Stardust muttered quietly, blinking a few times to fully clear his vision.

“We’re… fine but…” Celestia murmured.

“You… h-have brothers?” Twilight eeped out.

“I think that’s… rather obvious now.” Starlight commented, glancing nervously up at Ash for a moment, “But… why were they inside of you?”

“They’ve been inside me for, well, ever. Don’t take that out of context.” Ash joked in a manner playful enough to fool them for a split second that what just happened didn’t happen. If the weren’t certain before, they were now… It was Ash.

“Okay… but why did they take control of you?” Stardust piped up.

“Let’s start from the beginning. You see, the sun and moon…” Ash leaned his head back and raised his arms out as if preparing to tell a lengthy story with an excessive amount of hand gestures.

Stardust glanced momentarily to Luna, “I believe most of us know this story already.” She laughed. “Well, at least three of us know it.”

“Oh, well that saves some trouble.” Ash beamed, putting an arm around Luna and giving a one-armed hug. “Thanks Lunie moonie.”

Luna scoffed and looked away from him for a moment before returning the hug.

“I still want to know… how did they take control of you, when you’re basically the very essence of Equestria.” Stardust said.

“Wait… what?” Both Twilight and Starlight said, now staring right at Ash.

Ash’s face blanked. His eyes were stretched to utterly shocked proportions. His arm slowly left Luna’s body, and he took a step away from his niece. Luna’s face slowly went blank as well.

“Ash, is something wrong?” Stardust asked, stepping up to him and gently taking both his hands.

Ash’s chest puffed out slowly, and sank back in via long, steady breaths. He set his stare straight ahead, not looking at anypony. “Well, since the cat is out of the bag…” Ash began, speaking through gritted teeth. Though to the average pony, Ash’s gaze simply switched to Luna. But to Luna, his eyes rolled slowly toward the moon princess in a way that was so painful and tooth grindingly scary that his slowly rolling eyes might as well have been played to the sounds of nails on a chalkboard.

Luna’s ears immediately drooped and she stared down at the ground, utterly ashamed of herself.

Stardust glared up at Ash, “Oh, I see.” He said, letting out a small sigh, he stepped back from Ash and simply crossed his arms. “So, no one was supposed to know that?”

“Please don’t hate me.” Ash put his hands on his head. “No one was supposed to know that… I trusted you… Ohh gods please…” Ash’s demeanor shocked the others. He had never been in such a state of panic. Though they knew for certain it wasn’t going to lead to anything destructive, it hurt to watch. The sight of the loving giant in such a state of fear was unbearable.

“Hate isn’t something I could ever feel for you. I just…” Stardust sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. “Look… we all have secrets we want to keep, and things we feel should be hidden away and never brought up again.”

“Like me! I’m a monster. Those two haven’t done nearly the wrongs that I’ve done. I should have stayed hidde-”

Stardust had grabbed Ash’s snout, silencing him completely. “No.” He stated firmly, “First off, don’t call yourself a monster again, a monster doesn’t act the way you do.” He let go of Ash’s face, cupping his cheek. “Second, please, for your sake just… leave what happened in the past there. Don’t beat yourself up over things you can’t change.” He caressed Ash’s face, smiling warmly up at him. “Gods, you and I have so much we need to talk about when we’re alone if we’re going to truly make our lives together serious.” He pulled Ash’s head down, staring deeply into his eyes. “You’re an absolutely ridiculous stallion, and you manage to make me love you even more every second.” He momentarily kissed Ash, now hugging him in full again. “Oh, and if I ever catch you saying you should have stayed hidden again… well, let’s just say I’m going to show you every reason why that’s wrong.”

Stardust expected to see Ash’s smile. It was the right amount of tough love, pep, and inspiration. But Ash hadn’t changed his demeanor at all. The look in Ash’s eyes was despair. Something was wrong, truly wrong. There was a deep seeded issue that Ash couldn’t just put on a smile and ignore.

“Ash, what’s wrong?” Stardust asked worriedly.

Ash slowly looked back at Stardust. “You’re right… I shouldn’t have hidden away. They deserve to know the truth.” He said in a dead voice, devoid of all hope. The thought ran through everypony’s mind, and there was no way to deny. Ash did something horrible… but what?

"Ash..." Stardust murmured, "What... are you talking about?"

"No! I deserve to suffer for what I did to you. But I can't tell them. I'd rather die. I can't!" Ash fell to his knees and held his head in his hands. "Just let me die... It isn't worth hurting them, NO! IT WOULD DESTROY THEM!" He shrieked as if he was talking to someone. But both brothers had been banished from his body, so who was he talking to? The rest of the ponies tried to sense anything else residing within him. There was in fact another. But it wasn't evil. In fact it was quite the opposite, comprised of nothing but love and compassion. Ash's energy gave off regret, despair, sadness. One thought ran through Ash's consciousness on repeat: penance, penance, penance.... the other consciousness however, was uttering several messages to Ash: They love you. No one will judge you. You are a good pony. You didn't know.... but there was one recurring phrase repeated above all else. A phrase that it kept telling Ash over, and over. It said: I forgive you.

Stardust had stumbled back out of surprised and was now on the floor. His heart was racing and he couldn't so much as utter a word. Not a single one of them knew what was going on, or what they could even do.

"I didn't know. I couldn't have... why would you let me. You didn't have to. It was your body!" Ash wailed. Those words send shockwaves through everypony. While they may not know exactly who... it was all becoming much clearer.

"Ash... wh-what are you talking about?" Celestia asked uncertainly, everyone now staring at him. Though their care for him hadn't diminished in the slightest, they were just now more worried than ever before.

"My brothers and I... we are the embodiments of what comprises this planet. The sun gives this world life, it's emissary a powerful alicorn like Celestia, able to control it and all it's majesty. The moon, giving life to the night and those who flourish during it. A moon that gifted us Luna. And the stars in between to make us reach for them, always striving to go above and beyond. But something happened that made my brothers petrified. One of the stars reached back..." Ash said in a more somber tone, finding comfort in a history lesson.

Everyone listened to him, giving him their fullest attention. This was something none of them knew, and they were all willing to learn.

"Luna and Celestia were never told of this visitor. Only my brothers and I knew. Being the oldest and wisest, I chose to welcome the newcomer. But my youngest was the smartest, and selfish. We had our sun, Celestia. Our moon, Luna. And each other. My brothers and I had no forms, so we took animals and plants to represent ourselves. But this newcomer wasn't alone."

"What... did the newcomer bring?" Celestia asked quietly.

There was a long pause. "Ponies." Ash said.

Not a single one of them could even comprehend what that meant, they understood the word perfectly. They just... couldn't fathom the implications of that.

"So... o-originally ponies didn't even... exist here?" Starlight muttered quietly.

"The embodiment of a dying star used it's dying breath to give the ponies it failed to protect hope. And we took them in. Celestia, Luna..." Ash looked up at the two celestial goddesses.

The two goddesses looked back at Ash. "That's..." Luna mumbled.

"Oh my..." Celestia's voice trembled.

"That dying star's name was Solaris." Ash finished.

Both of them fell completely silent and their ears drooped instantly. The shock of his words hitting them both hard.

"I couldn't let him die, so I gave him my life. I got to watch you two grow up before you even knew me. Gosh, I am so proud of you two." Ash started to sob uncontrollably.

Celestia and Luna were instantly hugging him, squeezing him as tightly as they could. Neither was their usual composed selves as they started to break down, tears sliding down their faces as they nuzzled him.

"This all happened before you two arrived. Only when given a true purpose was an avatar born. The world you all know and love was seeded by him." Ash stood up and approached Star, cupping his cheeks to finally repay the unicorn's fruitless efforts earlier when Ash was depressed. "Our lives, and mine, was given purpose all because of Stardust." Ash said metaphorically.

Stardust's eyes glimmered for a few moments, his eyes locking with Ash's. He reached up and cupped Ash's hand, smiling weakly up at the stallion.

Ash gave him a gentle kiss before returning to Celestia and Luna. "I gave my life to Solaris so he could raise you two. A job I was not qualified for. But he taught me to be a parent, through his eyes. The truth I have been so ashamed of... I never went looking for your father. It was your father that came to me. I gave myself so you two could have a father, And when you two grew up. he gave me that life back so I could be an uncle. But I threw so much of it away. I couldn't handle hurting you if you two ever found out. Me looking for your father was an excuse for me to run away so you'd never find out he's never coming back because of me!" Ash wailed in a new wave of tears and sobs.

Celestia and Luna both hugged him once more, this time joined in full by Stardust. "There's... so much we didn't know about all of this." Celestia started quietly, pulling his head into her neck, gently running her hand down his cheek.

"Ash, you're an amazing pony... you did everything that you thought was right. When you returned we both said the only thing that mattered was that you were here. And that's the truth. Nothing will ever change the fact that we love you." Luna said softly, nuzzling him lightly.

"It was his choice to give you a chance. Don't blame yourself, no pony is to blame for it..." Celestia cooed softly. "We just have to make sure we live the best way we can. Just as we have. Forgive and forget... so long as we continue to change and make our home better than it was the day before, so that way there's always... always hope for something better. You can always look back at yesterday and say how you could have done something better, or look to tomorrow for what might come, but you need... always need to ground yourself in today, in the here and now."

"Your father gave me his life, and I won't waste another day of it hiding." Ash hugged Celestia tightly. "I want to be more than a father or uncle. I want you to feel special..."

"Just by being here you're already making me feel special." Celestia hugged him back squeezing him tightly.

Ash moved to kiss Celestia, but froze. He glanced over to Stardust as if asking for permission.

The glimmer Ash saw in Stardust's eyes told him it was more than alright. It didn't hurt that his smile doubled as well. "You don't need to ask my permission for anything." He assured.

"In some cultures that's considered rape." Ash chuckled.

Stardust rolled his eyes, "Very funny." He sighed, giving Ash a small grin.

"Right, where was I?" Ash turned back to the princess. He tackled Celestia onto a bed of tentacles that quickly formed to pad their landing.

"I want to do so much more than just kiss you..." Ash peppered her face with his lips. Every kiss was even more loving than the last. His next whisper gave her chills. "No language can detail the volumes of your beauty..."

"Oh dear gods, that's enough cheese to make a sandwich." Stardust said, stifling a laugh as he looked away from the two.

That joke definitely drew Ash's attention. Celestia gasped as the stallion disappeared suddenly from the flurry is kisses she was receiving. It seemed as if he teleported, but Ash can't use magic. Stardust opened his mouth to let out an equally shocked sound, but was unable. The speed at which Ash moved distorted the air, nearly knocking Stardust over with the split second of hurricane wind. The temporary vacuum pulled the breath from Stardust's lungs The first thing Stardust's mind registered after flipping back on was a kiss. Specifically Ash's lips on his. Stardust was absolutely stunned at Ash's true speed. He literally took his breath away. The only time anypony saw him move that fast was during the rampage back in the castle.

It took only a few moments before Star's mind caught up with his body. His eyes slid close as he slowly hugged Ash, squeezing the large stallion lovingly. The moments dragged on into eternity, and for them both it was perfect. Stardust pulled back from Ash's soft lips, now eyeing Ash with an almost sultry grin. "My, my." He breathed, nuzzling Ash's chest. "An act like that deserves a reward..." He leaned in closer to Ash's ear, "Would my stallion want me to cook for him, and give him a nice show?" He whispered, nipping it softly. "Or did you just want to go somewhere we can make even warmer and just cuddle up together?"

"Well, I'm still sore from having two people inside me. So cuddling sounds perfect."

"Great! Then off to my home it is." Stardust smiled, squeezing Ash even more. "Than when you get up, I'm going to cook a feast."

Ash gave a toothless smile, something that was rare for him. He didn't feel like making anymore jokes, or witty remarks. The towering pony closed his eyes and embraced the sensation of Stardust's arms around him. "That sounds lovely..."

Chapter 8: Emotions

Stardust nuzzled Ash, looking up at him, the plant pony could see a question burning in his eyes. "Ash, are you... doing alright?" He asked softly.

With a shrug, Ash nodded and smiled down at the stallion. "Yeah I'm fine. That Starlight did a number on me. And that was the second Star I've taken a beating from." He playfully pecked Stardust's cheek with a kiss.

Stardust laughed almost half heartedly, his smile wavering a little. "Ash, I want you to promise something to me." He said quietly.

"Anything."

Star’s eyes were moving over the massive bruises, cuts, and other injuries all over his lovers body. He visibly cringed, it was clearly painful for Ash to even be moving. "Don't ever lie to me, alright?" His eyes moved back up to Ash's and they seemed a tad darker and more serious than he'd ever seen Stardust act.

Ash's smile slowly faded. The tall pony was left with a frown as the emotion seemed to be drained by Stardust's gaze. He had put on a straight face so Stardust wouldn't worry, but the only thing he hated more was lying. It wasn't until it was stated that Ash felt the guilt of Star's words. "It's nothing I can't handle. The worst pain is lying to ponies. I had compartmentalized certain secrets so long that I had forgotten that I wasn't speaking the truth. Lying is something I promised Solaris I would never do... so I made sure no one would ever find out. It's not lying if there's nobody to tell." Ash spoke with a voice that was soaked in guilt and drowning from years of regret and pain as they continued down the road.

Stardust let out a soft sigh, he grabbed Ash's hand and a strange and nearly surreal calmness swept over him. "Now you have me to tell, and... I'll always be here to listen to you. No matter what it is you have to say. Everything about you is important to me, nothing is too small or insignificant, neither of those words even apply to you." He smiled warmly, squeezing Ash's hand. "If anything is ever wrong, I want you to tell me right away. Together we can work anything out. I feel like together we can be unstoppable. But we have to work together, and keep nothing from each other otherwise we'll just fall apart at the seams." His eyes were twinkling once again, "I can feel that we're destined to be something so great, and so absolutely amazing."

Ash's smile exploded. It was the first time Star had seen that toothy grin since the last time they saw each other, long before the violence that took place earlier. He leaned down to Star and kissed the stallion. Their bodies linked, some more than others. Stardust was expecting some emotional distress, in fact he knew that he'd feel it. With everything he just discovered Ash had been keeping locked away, he was truly amazed how Ash could function as a pony so casually on a daily basis. But what Star felt made mental torment sound like a vacation. Star's eyes snapped open, using all his being to maintain the kiss without drawing suspicion to the link he made to Ash's soul. Whenever Star breathed in, his lungs expanding felt like they were pushing against 24 broken ribs. His knees felt like they were made of broken glass, having to hold up the weight of his entire body. His head throbbed so hard that it was like a thousand fire ants were inside his skull. His vision blurred from the onslaught of pain he felt, unable to hold back the tears his eyes shed. Every muscle movement felt like it was supported by shattered bones. Stardust finally let out a sharp cry, stumbling back from Ash's body. It felt like it lasted hours, but the moment he pulled away it all ceased.

Stardust took in deep shaking breaths trying to regain his composure. He still felt millions of miles away, but at the same time every single part of his being was still here. He felt like a harbor without it's ship, and still the storm that was coming tore him apart. He blinked away the haze that had overcome his mind and slipped back to reality. He looked up at Ash, unsure of what to say, or... was it he was unable to even speak? It didn't make sense to him.

He could only begin to fathom how horrible Ash felt, and the only thing that welled up in Stardust was an undying sense of honor and respect. How could he be so lucky and so blessed to be in the graces of one so tormented yet so calm. There was nothing that could ever quell what he felt for Ash, and this only solidified every one of those feelings more. Now, even though his own mind might be at stake if he tried, he wanted nothing more than to help Ash in every way possible.

It wasn't courage or bravery that drove him to put his lips back to Ash's, even if it was just for another moment, it was his sense of passion and love that caused it, nothing else was beating through him, nothing else could move through him so easily.

"Star? You look like you're in pain." Ash took Star's hand with a concerned look. "What's wrong?"

Stardust just shook his head, "I don't know." He stared up into Ash's eyes, "But... I'm going to find out." He squeezed Ash's hand. "And everything be damned, I'll do my best to try to make everything right." He buried his face in Ash's chest. "No matter what happens. I swear that I will always be here to help you. No matter what the problem is." His voice was stoic and unwavering, as if he had stated a universal truth.

Ash gave a small smile. "Let's keep walking. Home is still a ways away." He cooed, running his hands through Star's hair in a soothing manner.

Star just laughed and the two continued their trek back to their home. Stardust opened the door and walked inside, pulling Ash in with him. His magic closing the door behind them. "Did you want anything to drink or something for a snack before we go take a nap?" Star asked, taking both of Ash's hands and squeezing them.

"I could eat." Ash nodded. Star felt a pang of sadness at his obliviousness. After figuring out just how much pain Ash was in right now, he stopped really looking at him. While Ash may have hid the pain from his demeanor, that stoicism had it's toll. Ash looked tired... so very tired. From what hints his empathic sense told him, he knew that the smile of Ash he thought was a genuine happy smile was also forced. And the part that worried Stardust the most, was the fact that Ash literally didn't have the strength to smile any wider.

"I'll go get something than..." Star said quietly, "You go relax." He suggested, softly pulling Ash down to kiss him once again. "And... please actually try to relax." He caressed Ash's cheek. He nuzzled Ash's nose, "I love you. And it h-..." He trailed off for a moment before he left Ash alone in the living room, vanishing entirely into the kitchen.

Stardust walked out of the kitchen holding the plate piled up with food. He made his way to his bedroom and his eyes widened, his heart came so close to stopping panic completely overtaking him.

Stardust saw claw marks on the floor in front of him, leading all the way to where Ash was lying. Even from the distance he was, he could hear Ash's ragged breathing. The nature pony had it's gaze upward at the bed. "Just... get the- Nnh!" Ash's body tensed up momentarily before he continued to drag his body with the claw-end of his fingers. "Please stay in the kitchen... just a little longer." Ash pleaded desperately for Stardust not to see.

Stardust steeled himself and approached the nature pony, kneeling down beside him. "Ash..." He said quietly, almost unsure of how to proceed. Everything was compounding inside of him. He wanted to cry, he wanted to drop everything and curl up, seeing Ash fully in pain and still not wanting him to see it. It hurt him more than anything else ever had. "Ash..." He repeated, setting the plate down on the ground. He gulped, worry and fear overtaking him. But in that moment he remained stoic, now trying to be the strong one. He didn't care whether or not he failed, he just wanted Ash to know he wasn't going to be dealing with his pain alone, not so long as Stardust had a say in it.

"It's my fault I got hurt. I deserve it after making them live believing their uncle and their father abandoned them." Ash's voice was coming out as a mix of anger and suppressed agony. The nature pony opened his mouth to speak again, suddenly choking and coughing up what Stardust thought was going to be vomit, but was blood... a lot of it. Now that he was up this close to Ash, Stardust saw that he had a nosebleed that wasn't there when they initially got home. And it looked like it was still bleeding.

Stardust quivered closing his eyes for a few moments. "Ash!" He said louder, now forcefully making his presence known by placing a hand on the nature pony. Tears now coming down his face.

Only after he touched Ash did Star remember just how bad the pain was. The simple weight of Stardust's hand made Ash give a scream that could only be described as bloodcurdling.

In an instant Star's magic surrounded Ash, lifting him up off the ground. It felt like a massive dose of painkillers was suddenly injected into Ash, all but causing him to relax every muscle. Star was fearful that he had further hurt Ash. "I'm so sorry!" He said quickly, removing his hand from Star's body. "Oh gods... that was so stupid of me..." He mumbled.

Ash closed his eyes, his chest heaving back and forth. Neither of them spoke, half not wanting, half not able. Stardust saw Ash slowly go from tense, to sinking further into the bed with every passing second. "Thank you..." Ash's voice was hoarse and quiet.

"You're under so much pain..." Star breathed, gingerly climbing onto the bed beside Ash. "Why... what's causing all this pain?" He asked quietly, scared to no the answer. His magical essence now completely surrounding Ash, coating him in what seemed like a living warmth and pleasant calmness. No... no it wasn't magic it was something much different, something that Ash couldn't decipher in his current state. He felt the gently touch of Star's arms around him, it was the softest he had ever felt, almost as if it wasn't there. The only thing he could truly feel was the added warmth against his body, the magic attempting to cull his pain never letting up for a second. "Don't... don't speak, you're too weak for that right now, just... just think. I'll... hear it." Stardust said quietly.

"Let's j-just say that... Starlight would have killed me if you weren't there." Ash wheezed lightly.

"I know she would have..." Stardust shook his head, "I should have acted sooner..." He closed his eyes, he ushered his very being into Ash's own. He forcefully push himself into the nerves causing so much pain and took over for him, drawing the pain completely away. Stardust just quivered, "Oh gods... no pain... no pain is too great to help you..." Tears welled up in his eyes, he was no where near as stoic as Ash was, and it showed. "Nothing... else matters..." He shook violently, but never let go of Star for a moment. "S-so... much... I'll... I'll never let her do this again... no pony will do this to you again..." He wheezed out. While he couldn't remove the injuries Ash had, he could at least ease his pain for a little while, even if it was just moved to Stardust.

"No... please." Ash couldn't move to stop him, only watch in horror as Stardust suffered.

Stardust kissed Ash, now completing it all. The essence that had been around him was now giving a single name, it was Stardust, his very soul was now flowing through Ash's body, latching onto his own soul. Entwining tightly with it, filling them both with indescribable feelings, almost as if it was the peak of everything and they weren't meant to feel in such a way. Stardust managed to fight back the agony flooding his body and pushed deeper into the kiss, tasting Ash's mouth. Now every part of their bodies was put into unison, almost as if it was always supposed to be this way. Every heartbeat, every breath, every taste, and every thought were now linked if it weren't for the situation, this could have been their heaven.

A warmth flooded both their bodies, numbing the pain more every second. Ash rose up with the kiss, both their minds disconnecting from their bodies. The two of them shared their thoughts, emotions, and pain. They agreed that this pain was something they would share together. Tears streamed down their faces knowing that they had to open their eyes, and once they did, it would all come flooding back again. Neither of them were ready, but they had each other. Slowly, their faces were the first thing each of them saw first, their lips having already separated. The two had fallen off a ladder, and they knew that below them was a vat of searing hot glass waiting to catch them, and all they could do was wait for the pain to hit them. And they waited... and they waited... but the pain never came. Both ponies sat in utter silence, only accompanied by the drum beat of their hearts. Ash slowly raised a hand, bringing it up and carefully cupping Stardust's cheek. Neither of them felt a single bit of pain from the contact. It was now that they finally registered that no pain was coming. Not only that, but they weren't even sore anymore. Stardust and Ash exchanged stares, looking for answers in each other's eyes.

Star's eyes held his distinctive light, and it only seemed to grow. Stardust put his hand down on Ash's chest, just over his beating heart, a small smile returning to his shaken face. Stardust still felt shaken up from the intense pain he'd felt before the kiss, but he managed to speak, "Never... alone..." Was all he could muster.

Ash put his hand over Star's, holding it to his chest. "That was some great magic... how'd you do it?"

"I... I can't really explain it... I just can... feel what others feel when I hold or kiss them." Stardust explained quietly, "It always helped me interact with others, I was always able to help them because I knew exactly how they felt. But with you... I... I think I did something more. No, I know I did something more." He chuckled quietly. "I've... never gotten that far with anypony... they somehow always shut me out before I can... I guess completely meld with them. I don't know why... it felt so wonderful. To feel you breathe, to feel your heartbeat like it was in my chest... to feel the warmth pulsating through you... I never want to go back."

"I mean the pain... it's just gone. That must have been some good meds you gave me." Ash chuckled, scratching his head curiously. He had a feeling it wasn't the painkiller. "I feel... different. Something is off."

"Oh! I um... really... don't know why it's gone... I thought it was just because we were both so focused on each other... everything just slipped away for those moments." Stardust said quietly, "The spell was to help numb you, not me... And what do you mean, something's off?"

Ash lost himself in thought. Suddenly, he snapped upright. The expression indicated he just realized something. But it was that kind of shock where everypony around would soon know whether it's due to something extremely good, or something horribly bad.

"Ash?" Stardust pulled back staring wearily at him. "W... what's wrong?"

Ash quickly felt his face, pressing on where the bruises were. Not only was there no pain, but there wasn't even a scratch. The only sign of trauma was the dried blood on his upper lip from the nose bleed. A nose bleed that had also stopped. "Why..." He uttered aloud.

"Ash, what's wrong?" Stardust repeated, uncertain of how to feel. He glanced around nervously almost dreading that there was something else in the room with them.

"You didn't need to. You've already given me everything... you don't deserve to suffer for my mistakes." Ash spoke quietly. It was at that point that Stardust felt it too. Whenever he sensed Ash, he felt two consciences. It wasn't until the revelation earlier that explained why. Ash is talking to Solaris, and the more he thought of what he was saying, the more it all made sense.

Stardust was dumbfounded he stared at Ash for a few moments. "That's... oh my..." He muttered, all fear running from him, though he could exactly identify what replaced it. Only that something had, curiosity perhaps, or maybe the same thing that made him seek out the very castle that Ash was residing in just days ago. "Wait..." Stardust muttered quietly, slowly wrapping his arms around Ash and resting his head against the plant pony. He closed his eyes and focused.

Concentrating on both entities, he immediately recognised which one was Ash. But the moment he concentrated on the other, he heard pained screams drown out any vestiges of focus he had.

Stardust knew instantly why the second entity was screaming. He shivered, he couldn't concentrate for very long and was forced to pull back. He felt instantly horrible, having been part of the terrible pain that Solaris was feeling. "Oh gods..." He cringed, closing his eyes tightly.

"He locked himself out... to make sure I can't hear the screams." Ash said, already on the verge of tears. "Sometimes the imagination can make things ten times worse."

Staredust looked up at Ash for a few moments, "I... yeah... it can make things worse." He said quietly, glancing down for a few moments. Stardust reached forward and now pulled Ash back down, now only focusing on the world around him. He had to choke back tears as he simply pulled the larger pony's head into his neck, holding him close trying to comfort both himself and Ash all at once.

Staring up at the ceiling for a minute, Ash sighed. "We should go egg Starlight's house."

"I'd be more than happy to." Stardust smiled weakly. "After we ruin her house, maybe we could come back here and watch something, and I still have to make that feast I promised you." He added.

"Right now, food is the last thing I can think of." Ash glanced to Star. "Wanna go get some ice cream?"

"I just... honestly want to spend time with you. I... don't care what we do." Stardust said, hugging him again.

Star didn't receive a reply. After everything that just happened, his immediate instinct was to worry. When he gazed up at Ash's face, a breath of relief was given. Stardust saw that Ash had fallen asleep.

Neither of them knew just how long they had slept. Stardust was the first to wake up as early-morning light bathed him and Ash. Dozens of Ash's tendrils were blanketing Star's body, warming him more than sheet could do.

Stardust stretched out, pulling Ash's head into his neck, cradling his head lovingly. He sat there for a while just watching Ash sleep. He truly didn't want to wake him, for once he looked peaceful and Stardust had no desire to disturb him.

The sleeping pony was extremely powerful, ancient, and wise. But right now, he had never looked more adorable. His sleepy gaze pushed past the veil of sleep, slowly looking up at Stardust. They both just locked eyes in dead silence. They both wanted to say hello, or good morning. But the only thing they wanted was to maintain this magic moment. Ash's tired eyes had vanished entirely, and all Stardust saw was the stare of an old pony who was gracious for everything about his life, and only wanted to take in all that he had.

Stardust smiled and gave him a silent good morning kiss. Drawing him deep into a loving hold. There was a surreal beauty that Star now saw whenever he looked upon the ancient pony. Almost like looking upon the pony he had always been destined to be with, and now that they were together all he wanted to wake up to was this massive pony, locked in his arms and deep in his heart. He pulled his lips back from Ash's and nuzzled him, wanting to not break the magic in the air with any words, they all seemed so meaningless now.

The many appendages around Star pulled the two against the other's body even harder. Ash closed his eyes and inhaled Stardust's scent deeply. Star was so far intertwined with Ash that it felt as though the second heartbeat he felt was his own. Ash's next kiss was on Star's neck, making Stardust audibly shiver. After all the fear and pain they went through the day prior, it felt like years since they just relaxed. After so much neglect, the lips touching his neck triggered an erogenous zone that took Stardust's breath away.

Stardust ran his hands down Ash's back, earnestly beginning to feel his lover. His soft touch was explorative, wanting to touch every part of Ash and feel his warmth completely. His entire body was beginning to react to Ash's touch and kiss, it felt like his entire body was beginning to ache in all the best possible ways. He needed Ash to continue to touch and feel his body, as much as he needed to feel Ash's body.

Ash sensed Star's needs almost immediately. The tendrils that covered Star's body heated up, digging into every sensitive area of his body, some that Stardust hadn't even known himself. The link they formed never seemed to fade, only growing stronger with time. Questions they might have had to ask before answered themselves through instinct. Memories of their last sexual acts flashed through Stardust's mind, and how he was the one in control. But now it was Ash that was taking the lead. He knew just what Ash was thinking about, and it was about last night. Specifically how Stardust tried (and would have) taken Ash's suffering for himself. The thought bred the purest form of love within Ash's heart, and he was going to repay the kindness in full.

For every feeling that Ash had, Stardust felt it in full. There was no longer any doubt in Star's mind he'd give everything for Ash, not just everything he had, and everything he was, but everything he'd ever be. His heart was pounding, his blood growing hot even without any venom in it, almost as if it wasn't needed and his body simply acted this way for Ash.

Stardust let go of everything at let himself be completely overcome by Ash. He just panted and shivered with every tickle and touch all over his body. He was excited to be so close, both physically and mentally, with Ash. His eyes slid shut and he held onto Ash, tightly squeezing his back. "Yes..." He breathed, Ash could now feel him rapidly growing hard just from the teasing.

Ash returned another kiss, tracing his lips down Star's body to meet the rising pillar of lust. Even Ash knew that their bodies were already doing more than his venom ever could, so when his lips finally found Stardust's flare, every touch was enough to make Star's body lock up.

He couldn't even gasp, his body seized up and the electricity coursing through him was near enough to set him off. Thick pre was gushing out, already bathing his entire shaft in a hot sticky mess. His sack was visibly throbbing as if begging for a much needed release. Star's eyes were the only thing able to move as his body was locked in pleasure unlike anything he'd felt before, and he was watching every one of Ash's moves both dreading and desiring the next touch, the next kiss, anything Ash did was pulling Star deeper into an almost mind-breaking pleasurable heaven.

Ash was in a mode that Star had never seen before. The primordial being that Stardust had become bonded with showed a side of itself that had been dormant for who knows how many lifetimes. It wasn't just primal, nor was it lust. A kind of love so far beyond what anypony had ever experienced. Ash's entire life force was dedicated to Stardust. With every touch, grope, kiss, and breath, their minds intertwined tighter, unimaginably intimate.

Every thought racing through Star's mind was silenced and every single ounce of his being was now bearing down on Ash. He had already decided this was how he wanted every second of his life to be, wrapped in such a warm blanket of love and care, he wanted to keep entwined with Ash forever.

Star's mind was swirling and impossible to gather, he just laid there letting Ash take in every part of his body. Stardust felt he now all but belonged to Ash, and that thought, the only one he could grab made him feel even hotter than before, his cock now throbbing and twitching violently, pumping out twice the amount of pre than before, his own musk now hanging heavily in the air.

Ash's hands squeezed and kneaded the rigid slab of drooling lust. His tongue lapped, and slurped every drop it gave. Star's cock was never given a chance to make any sort of mess, despite how much it's output increased. Ash continued milking every he could while popping the flare into his mouth. Stardust's eyes glazed over as his tip was hugged on all sides by such a burning grasp, he nearly choked on his own breath. The wet heat spread slowly, managing to catch a glimpse of just what was happening. Ash had his eyes closed, and had his cock sinking like quicksand into a maw of suffocating pleasure.

His body twitched and throbbed almost as violently as his cock was, every beat of his heart seemed to cause his body to boil. His cock now buried firmly in Ash's hungry maw gave of an intense heat, his pre now flooding completely into the plant pony's stomach. Every inch of meat was covered in sloppy warm love, the taste only compounded by Star's scent which was so close to his nose. His balls ached even more as his body denied orgasm in order for him to feel more pleasure.

"A-Aaah..." He moaned loudly, his bodily functions slowly returning, his back now arching as he quivered and shook. His breathing came out labored and intense.

The suction increased, making it unendingly tight. Ash was poised to oppose what Star's body wanted. Every second that passed made Star believe that it was Ash's intent to bring him to his peak as quick as possible. The flood of sensations distracted Star momentarily from one fact that was becoming painfully obvious. Only a third of his length had been engulfed, and every additional inch was a new level of sensations.

Star's body let loose the tsunami, his flare expanding, preventing him from going any deeper into Ash's throat. Though the plant pony was given plenty more to suck down as thick torrents of seed pumped straight into his throat, filling it with the hot fluid. Star only groaned, his balls releasing what seemed like years of pent up emotions right into Ash's stomach.

Ash shivered, his throat making a swallowing motion, attempting to coax out every drop. His own hardness was swelling in anticipation. Ash's sack seemed to swell as if absorbing all of Star's potency and adding it to it's own. Ash let out a muffled moan, his hand sliding up Star's abdomen in a sensual manner.

Star put his hand ontop of Ash's, now the plant pony could feel the smaller unicorn shaking. The quivering smile on his face gave him all he needed to know, Star wanted Ash to use his body in whatever ways the ancient being desired, he was ready for it and he needed it. Star let his head fall back as and his body went completely limp, his cock remaining nice and hard for Ash as his orgasm slowly died down after having been going strong for nearly four minutes. Star's sack despite emptying itself into Ash was still just as large as before it, finally having attained a maximum size.

Ash gave one final swallow before unsheathing the stallion from his throat. He hugged the sensitive staff, licking the shaft slowly and nuzzling his cheek against it. Almost oblivious to Star's presence, Ash continued to lick, kiss, nuzzle, and worship it. And Stardust was witnessing every moment of it.

He just shivered a large smile growing across his face. A godly being worshiping him. "Did I die and drift of to heaven?" Star mused, shivering with every nuzzle and touch. He groaned, his cock throbbing even more.

Ash gave a warm smile and started to sit up-right, sliding up Star's cock as he did. Sitting on his knees with Star's cock embraced against his chest, Ash's eyes dripped with love. With his new position, Star was finally able to see the other pillar of virility in this room. Ash was already at full mast, larger than even the first time Star saw it. A set of tendrils were slithering and rubbing a thick, musky liquid on the neglected spear. Ash's cock was literally covered in the thickest cum, all produced by his many appendages. This gave Stardust insight of what Ash was going to do to him. And insight of how his insides were going to look by the end…

Stardust could only quiver as he looked upon the god about to take him, his body ached more than ever before. He was filled with the intense need to make sure that no part of Ash ever remained neglected. He reached down and slowly spread his ass cheeks apart, pushing it up in the air, years of practice allowing him to easily present himself to Ash without the slightest bit of discomfort. "Use me, I'm yours to pump full and fuck raw!" He begged, need dripping from every word.

Ash's many tentacles made a significant return, refusing to have Star do any work. They took the liberty of wrapping around Stardust and tying his legs to his chest. With every new tendril that participated, Star found himself becoming more and more bound. Star knew exactly what he looked like, exactly how helpless and explosed he was in this position. It was a stigma for a pony to feel afraid and weak while so vulnerable. But that couldn't have been more wrong. He felt loved, desired, strong, and above all... safe. He couldn't have been in better hands while in such a state. Ash took hold of Star's cock and gripped it tightly. As he pulled it up, Star moaned as his hips followed without question. Being controlled like a joystick, Stardust's hips were lifted by his own cock, detecting something burning underneath it. When Ash's hold on the shaft moved down, Star's hips descended and confirmed that Ash's cock had slipped above the sheets, right where Star's rump had been resting earlier.

Stardust bit his lip staring at Ash with half-lidded eyes. "Don't tease me anymore... you need this as much as I do..." He breathed out.

Ash didn't seem to hear Stardust. The look in his eyes gave Star the impression that he wasn't teasing, or at least not trying to. The green stallion leaned forward, closer... and closer, until they could feel their breath on each other. Ash ran his fingers through Star's hair, losing themselves in each other's eyes. "You found me..." Ash said through his trance. "And I can never truly express to you what that means." He continued, his words stealing the air from Star's lungs.

"You'll never have to. I already know..." Star could barely get the words out, his smile growing softer and more inviting. He moved his head closer, their lips touching pushing them into a warm kiss. Nothing but the purest and most righteous form of love flowed through them, nothing could have made this moment any more perfect.

Now having what he wanted, Ash closed the remaining gap between their bodies. His member slid in without a modicum of effort. It was clear Ash was much larger, but that was a thought that only passed through Star's mind for a moment. He didn't know how it was possible, but the cum that acted as lube was so much hotter than it should have been. Star's insides lit on fire as the potent sludge gave any numb spot it's own wave of sensations. The moment Stardust's prostate tasted Ash's love, it lost all control. Star had never felt an orgasm come on so fast, but a mortifying realization struck him. His lover was stretching his insides so much that his cum became clogged, and the sudden orgasm pinned at it's peak.

Stardust couldn't even scream, the orgasm was far to intense for any vocalization, all he could do was uselessly tighten around Ash's cock. Desperately trying to milk it for all it had.

Ash buried his face into Star's neck, nuzzling him with pure affection. He pulled out slowly, making the orgasm slide off the peak. Before the height of the denied pleasure hit, Ash gave his first thrust. If the last orgasm's peak was the top of a ladder, he just got bumped to the top of Mt. Everest. The split second of freedom his insides had unbottled the pressure like a rocket, sending a thick blast of cum from Star's cock, straight into the wall above the bed. Stardust let out a glass-shattering scream, his pleasure reaching new heights with every thrust... and Ash had already set a pace.

Star let out a solid moan, he didn't even attempt to contain his ectasy and just let everything out. All around them the air was glowing and sparkling, everything felt so much lighter and easier. He had haphazardly let his magic loose and it proved to be a mistake as he came again, feeling like his own insides were squeezing down on his cock. He tensed up, but that did little to even slow Ash. His cock no longer spilled out pre, only his thick musky cum leaked out, leaving his virility to stain their bodies and coat them both in his distinct scent. For every time he thought he hit the top, he climbed ever higher Ash could now feel at least a fraction of what Stardust was feeling with every thrust and it drove the plant pony ever onward, knowing his lover had bested every apex and was filled with utter joy and ecstasy from the massive cock filling his tight frame. Though he shuddered at what might happen if he were to kiss the empath again, knowing full well he might be dragged into a limitless 'hell' of pleasure and lust.

Star's eyes lost all focus and he had just become a gasping, groaning, and grunting pleasure doll. He was absolutely thrilled by that prospect, and it drove each orgasm he had to be more intense than the last.

Ash had a momentary thought, that perhaps it was working too well. His sanity clicked back into place just long enough to take in the image of Star, a utter babbling mess of constant bliss as uncountable denied orgasms slowly dribbled out of Stardust at varied rates. Ash's increased virility reacted in kind, but only made things worse (or better). Ash's output reached it's limit, and his puffy testicles found themselves unable to accommodate the extra baggage, literally overflowing out and into Stardust at a slow, yet constant pace.

Stardust just laid there basking in the hazy pleasure and massive amounts of cum covering him. He was visibly shaken in all the right ways. The gloss over his eyes made him appear utterly unfocused and in a different dimension. "Oooh..." He mumbled, his words just as incoherent as his thoughts.

Ash closed his eyes, using all his focus to last as long as possible. Though the strain didn't slow his thrusts in the slightest. If the pleasure wasn't enough to break Star, what happened next just might. Ash leaned forward, adding the weight of the green sex god's toned and sweaty body to the list of mind numbing sensations blinding Stardust.

The unicorn buried under Ash quivered, his magic now nearly lashing out. Ash could feel a slowly building pleasure that he knew wasn't just his own, and boy, was it rising fast. The entire room grew steadily hotter as if being filled up with Star's release, his lust tearing through and being projected all over the place. This didn't help Ash in lasting any longer, in fact it was forcefully dragging him to a powerful and mind breaking orgasm.

Stardust quivered as another orgasm was denied, his balls aching for a desperate release. His eyes had rolled back and he was now completely gone, his body acting only on instinct.

Ash's will waned and his pouch started to tighten. His thrusts slowed with every twitch of his slick member. Finally losing the strength to continue, Ash stuffed every inch inside and ground hard circles to push himself over his own peak. Every grind stirred Star's insides, forcing heavy pressure on his abused prostate every time Ash's grinds came full circle.

Star's body quivered and his ass tightened to a vice like grip on Ash's cock, making sure he was trapped deep inside. His tongue was hanging out, and drool was beginning to pool under his mouth showing how disjointed and lost his mind had become, despite all of this his body still seemed desperate to feel Ash's seed inside of it, wanting to be filled completely with the thick substance.

Feeling the end coming, Ash gently brought his lips to Stardust's and once again closed his eyes. If Star thought that he was backed up, but the explosion of sticky heat he was injected with pulled the last bit of air from his lungs, as if Ash was draining it from his body. He felt full... so full. It felt like a literal bomb went off as Ash's rubbery ooze filled Star's intestines, rising up to his stomach near instantly. Whatever Star's genitals had gone through didn't even compare to the release Ash had been awaiting. It wasn't just hot, it was like he was being pumped with melted steel. Stardust couldn't tell if his insides were melting, or if it was just the flood filling his body.

Every moment was spent locked in heaven, and Ash could feel every quivering thought and emotion Star had. Every feeling was being multiplied tenfold in Star's mind, it was clear he'd come out changed from this. His eyes closed slowly as he basked in the unreal warmth flooding his body. It felt as if he'd just consumed a building and was still going, movement wouldn't be possible for the poor unicorn, not for a long while. Though that really didn't worry him, Ash would take care of him.

Ash's face slid from Star's lips to his neck, inhaling his scent with as much air as he could take in. "Don't fight it, just relax..." He whispered. Star was confused, but had no time to question just what he was talking about. With their bodies pressed so tightly, his gurgling stomach tried to expand, but was denied. The druglike cum filling his body didn't stop, his throat beginning to burn, and his body began to seize as it was utterly filled to the brim. He had a feeling that what was about to happen was going to happen long after Ash's cum stopped flowing. But in reality, that wasn't happening anytime soon.

It only took a few moments before Star's eyes lost all focus, the thick cum now filling his mouth. The thick substance flooding out of his nose, staining it with Ash's scent. He gurgled, the cum bubbling out from his mouth. Despite the cum filling every part of his body, he didn't feel any worse for wear, it only made everything feel so much better. Ecstasy meant nothing anymore, this was so far beyond it he never felt this way, and he knew only Ash could take him to this level.

Finally raising himself to his knees, Ash smiled warmly as Star's abdomen was finally allowed to grow. Only after Star's face was painted white from the overflow of Ash's cum did it stop forcing itself from his mouth. When his stomach stopped ballooning, that was a clear sign Ash's orgasm had finally ended. One of his tentacles slithered betwen them, wrapping around Star's balls, knowing they were fit to bursting. Ash retracted his hips, slowly leaving the throbbing, abused hole. Though even as it left, there was no sense of emptiness as his cum merely filled in the gaps. They both gasped as the head finally popped free.

Star let out a soft groan, his balls retracted almost violently. His shaft quivered and the next thing Ash knew was Star let out a sharp scream that seemed to radiate throughout the entire home. His seed shot out violently, covering the bed, wall, and anything else in it's way with his own sticky seed. Ash felt his own balls contract almost instinctively, another orgasm coming through his own body, forcing it's way through all of his tendrils. He could truly feel the power of Star's orgasm, his body quivered and he had trouble keeping himself up. Every moment was nearly mind shattering for Ash, and now he knew exactly how Star felt.

Ash's body quaked, dozens of his tendrils instinctively surging from his body and dousing Star's body with the numbing, balmy cream. Ash gave a surprised wail at the unexpected surge of pleasure. Another equally as powerful stream twice as thick joined the truly potent bukkake that threatened to drown Stardust. Ash felt as weak as last night, collapsing forward into one final kiss and bathing in the shower of his own cum, glueing their bodies together with ever growing layers of his love.

Celestia, Twilight, and Starlight slowly walked into Stardust's house. The entire building was silent, almost deathly so.

"It's far too quiet..." Celestia said. "Come on, the best bet is they're upstairs." Motioning the two others to follow her closely.

An atmosphere of concern was replaced with confusion with every step. The closer they got, the more familiar the scent in the air was, and the stronger it became. Starlight was in front, ready to attack if need be. Slowly, she cracked open the door and peeked in. Even though she was the only to see, the aroma hit all of them like a brick wall, the three simultaneously shivering. Starlight's face exploded into the deepest shade of red that either Twilight or Celestia had ever seen. The door was quickly shut, Starlight spinning around to face the others. "They're fine let's go." She uttered in a sudden desperate, urging voice.

"What do you mean, they're fine? We need to completely make sure." Celestia stated firmly, staring at Starlight for a moment. She walked up to the door and cracked it open. Celestia was quiet for a few long moments. "My... that's... new. How is it... everywhere? " She glanced back to Twilight, motioning her over.

Twilight obeyed and glanced in beside the other alicorn. Twilight had never been so stunned by a sight, simply due to how impressively lewd it was. Starlight's face was burning, already on her way to the front door. "Maybe we should check if they're still breathing..." Twilight stammered.

Celestia teleported Starlight right beside her and Twilight. "Yes, we should. All of us." She chuckled, her own face a little red, "With the amount in there... they could have drowned in it." She slowly pushed the door open, the door itself struggling to move as it was nearly glued to the floor. "Oooh... this is going to be fun." She shivered, pushing onward into the room, leading the way.

Chapter 9: True Feelings

Stardust couldn't really tell what woke him up, the mixture of the warm water and soft hands occasionally moving over his tired body did wonders though. The weakened stallion was pull back into the waking world once again, and was greeted with the sight of Celestia in the shower with both him and Ash. The Princess cleaning the two stallions off.

Star's eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat, he for once in his life felt naked (this feeling coming from an ex-stripper). He couldn't find either the courage or the words to speak and just sat there silently, his legs unconsciously closing as if to make himself a bit more modest, though that was more of an after thought seeing as he didn't know how long she'd been there.

"Good morning." Celestia greeted with her usual smile that practically radiated sunlight regardless of what time of the day or night it was.

"G-good morning." Stardust responded, still a little embarrassed. Her smile did do a lot to ease his nerves, but he still was far from used to dealing with any of the Princesses.

"How did you two sleep?" Celestia cooed.

"I slept really well." Stardust said, "It was... um an interesting time too." He laughed quietly, glancing over at Ash. He remained silent for a few moments, "Really eye-opening too..." He sighed, looking back to Celestia.

"Yeah, and I realized something last night." Ash said with a small smile, drawing everypony's gaze.

"What did you realize?" Star inquired.

Ash slowly pulled Star into an embrace, squeezing just barely enough to not strangle the stallion. "How much I needed you in my life." He said in the most genuine, loving tone Star had ever heard utter from anypony, let alone directed at him.

Star gave a really shy smile, nuzzling into Ash for a few moments. "Ooh... don't say that..." He joked, blushing brighter than ever before, nearly hiding himself in the large stallion.

Ash felt no need to embarrass Star, settling with continuing the hug. Ash's eyes shifted to Celestia, his smile slowly melting to sadness.

"Is something wrong?" Celestia asked sincerely, moving in closer to the two.

Ash felt tears streaming down his face, and the others noticed. "I'm so sorry..." He blurted, his arms going limp as his head fell back into the wall sadly.

"What are you sorry for?" Star asked, tightening his grasp on Ash. The concern clear on his face as the love of his life sat crying.

"You don't have anything to be sorry for, Ash..." Celestia assured, hugging him warmly.

"Everything that happened last night, it was my fault. I chose to keep it secret. I chose to lie. And I almost killed my precious little sunflower." Ash' said, placing a hand on Celestia's cheek. His voice was cracking, and he was completely lost in a world of sorrow. The tender caress along with his words made both Star and Celestia's hearts break.

"You had your reasons for hiding those things..." Celestia cooed, leaning in and kissing Ash's head.

"You weren't in control." Star said, leaning back and staring up at Ash. "Don't blame yourself for something you couldn't control."

"I don't know what I'd do without you two. Oh gods..." Ash covered his face and curled up in a fetal position as he wept uncontrollably.

Both Star and Celestia nuzzled and cuddled up against Ash in a desperate bid to calm him down, neither wanting to see such a kind and caring stallion in such a horrific state.

Ash's sobs lessened with every other second. His eyes slowly locked with theirs. "I love you... I just want to protect you two." He said, nearly out of breath.

"We both love you too, Ash." Celestia smiled warmly, caressing his cheek. "You're an amazing pony, Ash. And you already do a wonderful job of making everypony who loves you feel safe."

"You're perfect, Ash." Star stated, his loving smile never fading.

Ash still had tears running down his cheek, but finally managed to smile. "Thank you." He mumbled.

"We'll always be here for you Ash." Star nuzzled Ash, wiping away his tears.

Ash lovingly kissed Stardust. Star was surprised at the sudden act of care. This kiss seemed to have more than just love in it. It was full of thanks, hope, joy, and relief.

Star returned the kiss, softly hugging Ash with as much care as he could muster. Celestia smiled widely, watching the two loving stallions kiss and hug.

"You two look perfect together... it's almost as if you were always destined to meet each other." She giggled.

Ash was absolutely fine, but when their lips parted, Stardust was breathless. "Star, would you mind running to the store for something? I wanted to talk with Celestia alone for awhile." He asked, standing up and bringing Star with him. A tentacle switched the shower off and Ash just lightly stroked through Stardust's mane.

"Oh, uuh... Sure." Stardust nodded slightly, standing up and leaving Ash and Celestia alone.

Celestia wrapped her arms around Ash and smiled at him, "What is it that you wanted to talk about?"

Ash didn't say a word, just hugging Celestia and closing his eyes.

Celestia remained quiet and snuggled up against him, her warm and caring smile never wavering as she held him close.

"When did you get here?" He hummed.

"Hm?" Celestia raised an eyebrow.

"I woke up in the shower with Star, and you were washing us. So when did you get here?"

"Oh! I got here two or three hours ago... Twilight, Starlight, and I came to check on you two." Celestia replied, letting out a small sigh.

"You didn't have to do that..." Ash's body seemed to heat up as he heard that, and his hug grew a bit tighter.

Celestia laughed, grinning even more. "Oh... I just wanted to make sure you both were alright..." She cooed, squeezing him even more as she nuzzled his cheek.

She gave a squeal as her body was hoisted up. Celestia's legs wrapped around his waist and allowed him to carry her. They were heading toward Stardust's bed. It took until now for Celestia to truly remember he was still naked. Every drop of water on him had evaporated by the simple heat of his body.

Her face turned a light shade of red, "Ooh... what are you planning?" She teased.

Like an animal, he bit down hard on her neck. Celestia let out a shriek at the sharp sensation. Strangely, no blood was drawn. The simple fact he could bite her that hard without so much as a drop of blood made her body shiver. He was clearly used to using those razors in his mouth for the countless years he'd been alive. She could only imagine what he could do with them.

Celestia could only quake in his arms, waiting for his next move as her body was ready for anything he could do.

Tendril after tendril slipped under her dress and gripped her underwear, sliding them off and tossing them to the side. Ash licked the tender dots on her neck that his pointed teeth had made. Not only was she seeing his more animalistic side, but he marked her with a scar she knew would receive questions when she got back to Canterlot.

Celestia was both enthralled and absolutely shaken by this side of him, and how quickly he snapped to it. "Ash..." She panted, her entire body shaking in his grasp. Her marehood was already sopping wet and aching for him.

Ash had no words to reply to her. The only thing he was interested in was making her feel how much he loved her. His crotch was pressed to hers, and she could tell he wasn't hard yet. But that was where she was wrong. His cock was swelling with blood, but it had nowhere to grow. Nowhere, but inside her. Every throb was like a second heartbeat. Every heartbeat made her lower lips spread only a half centimeter at a time. But gods did it build rapidly.

Celestia could only gasp and groan as his massive cock slowly grew into her. Her walls clasped hungrily at his shaft, attempting to draw it in even faster. "I-I aaah!" She moaned, her eyes sliding shut.

Ash breathed wordlessly into her neck before the princess screamed loud enough to crack the nearest window. His cock had started to fill her insides rapidly, digging through her insides and still stretching in width. Finally, the head hit her cervix, where she thought it would stop. But that familiar heartbeat signaled he wasn't done, and it was still stretching her wider, and wider. Every second increased the pressure inside her, trying to grow right into her womb. Celestia knew he could change his size, but this... this was new. She was reminded of a time when she was a teen who had just lost her virginity. The reason why she was so fondly was reminded of it was a feeling she hadn't considered since then. A sensation that made her breath become ragged. It was too much. Oh gods it was so much!

Her mind couldn't comprehend any of the feelings and simply shut down, reverting to it's most primal state, grasping only onto the pleasure. "Oooh gaaaah!" She screamed, her walls clenching harshly down on his cock, milking the massive pleasure bearing beast inside her. It was clear she never wanted him to leave or stop.

Ash made no attempt to thrust. He was dead-set on seeing just how much she could take as if to wreck the princess for anypony else but himself. In fact, he was focused entirely on the act of testing her elasticity that he had no time to show his usual affection. So far the only thing he had done was pick her up, tear her underwear off, mark her like a dog's bitch, and impale her with her dress still on.

“Aaaaasssshhh!” Celestia screamed again, her body quivering as her womb was beginning to expand to contain his cock, her walls not even attempting to cling to him as they were expanded beyond anything they had ever been subject too. Her body was his to use and use it he would, and Celestia couldn’t be more elated to be made his forever.

There was a magical type of pleasure that could only be felt when a true stud stretched a mare further than any stallion said-mare had ever been with. It was a sensation that Celestia had never felt, only heard of. But she knew exactly what all those mares were talking about. That feeling when you consummate a marriage, or lose your virginity. It was exciting, and scary. It was new, and oh-so familiar. It hurt, and felt so fucking good! But most of all, it felt right. It was at this moment that Celestia realized whatever she called sex before was the exact same as what masterbation was to any colt or filly before they have real intercourse. No amount of preparation could have gotten her ready for this moment. After such a scare last night, scared she might lose him, she was already ecstatic that he was alive and well. Not only that, but he was madly in love with her, to the point he would die for her, and she knew it. What she felt was something above compassion. It was above happiness or joy. She was so unfathomably out of her depths with this sex god that she called the (and this is putting it too lightly, but her limited vocabulary, along with the language itself, had no words to truly describe what she felt) perfect pony. Love was reserved for everypony to experience. But she was selfish... this was a sensation beyond love, and she was going to keep it all.

She pressed as best she could into his neck. Her body losing all will to quiver, nothing she could do would make this better, it was truly perfect. Her slick walls only shook and quaked as orgasms passed through her.

"I want this to be a day we won't ever forget. Celestia, can I ask something?" Ash's velvety voice finally broke the silence comprised of animalistic sex and screams.

“A-anything...” Celestia moaned.

Ash's words not only made Celestia's heart explode, but it made her cum. And cum, and cum... 'Oh gods!' she thought, unable to stop just how good this orgasm felt. "Will you have my babies?" Ash asked in a whisper that rivaled the most sensual of asmr experience.

“Yes! I NEED your babies!” She moaned shakily, her walls clamping down roughly on his shaft.

Ash rewarded her response (as if she hadn't been rewarded enough) with a kiss. The tongue wrapping around hers was full of a venom that was different than the one she was used to. Along with the aphrodisiac. Her breasts felt fuller, rounder, heavier. A warmth was building in what she knew were her ovaries. It was at that moment she knew that his question was more than just sex-talk. She was already in a rather fertile month, though being a princess she was nearly always fertile. It was more being slightly less so. The contraceptive she always used was a magic of her own design. Though not only did Ash's venom counteract her spell, but it seemed to make her even far more able to conceive. Celestia could feel something else too... and Ash made sure she knew just what it was. Ash's hand grabbed hers, slowly sliding it down his body (making sure she felt every ox-like muscle that painted his hot body) and onto his sack. Not only was it heavier than before, but it was so potently thick inside. Her fingers couldn't even press into the weights! Whatever batter that was inside was as thick as jelly. Even touching his breeding pouch burned her fingers... and burning was something that the Princess of the Sun had never experienced.

Celestia could only wonder how many foals they’d have in the first batch, and how many more batches would come after. She closed her eyes, letting him take even more control of her, she truly needed his foals now, and nothing would stop them from conceiving.

Ash started to pull out, blowing the princess's mind. It had been such a natural process for his dick to swell inside her that she had forgotten it had actually been inside of her. Tears started to streak down her face, whimpering and whining like baby. That glorious moment when he finally gave the first thrust nearly broke her. The princess kicked her legs hard enough to put a dent in even the toughest, magically imbued steel.

She couldn’t even scream, her voice coming out in an uncontrolled babble. Everything was indescribable, there was no way she’d feel this with anypony besides Ash, and if it wasn’t already all hers, it was now. “Y-yees!” She moaned out, her body going absolutely tense as she rode out the biggest orgasm yet, her body desperately trying to milk the virile stud ramming her insides to dust.

Ash's tendrils unzipped Celestia's dress, gently slipping it off mid-fuck. She wasn't wearing a bra at all. Ash hadn't even begun to screw the mare. He was in a trance, watching just how much of a pleasure-paralysis Celestia was in. Ash couldn't have been more gleeful to see her in such a state. Ash watched her grow up, and never in a million years could he have imagined that this beautiful sun goddess would be in such a whorish state. While of course, even when she was a mere 18 years old, he knew (and expected) her to have a sex life. A sex life, being where you're at your most vulnerable, where you can be yourself, moaning and bouncing. She had devolved into an animal that was nearing a vegetative state, threatening to drown in her own drool. Ash had to admit, it was the hottest thing he had ever witnessed in his entire life. And now his primal side surged forth, along with a few extra inches to his monstrous length.

Celestia choked back a scream, her eyes rolling back into her head. Her babbling returning anew, this was the best moment she had ever experienced and he was finding new ways to make it even better.

Ash lowered himself, making their fronts press together. If Celestia thought she was in heaven, she was just proven wrong. The one thing that had been missing was his actual weight on hers. She received that, and his breath in her neck. The bite marks rang like morse code to her brain. Every time it was touched by his tongue, or lips, it reprogrammed her into more and more of a willing broodmare.

It was at that moment that Stardust peeked into the room, “Hey uuh, did ei-” He cut himself off as he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes widened. His cock was growing hard steadily, but at the same time he was absolutely embarrassed seeing it. “Uuuh...” He didn’t know what to say, he could only watch in awe.

"The babies will be as beautiful as you." Ash whispered just loud enough for Stardust to hear. The words made Star's cock twitch so hard it genuinely hurt. Nopony had every done that to him.

“Oooh, they’ll be perfect ...” Celestia moaned loudly, her wings standing painfully at attention. Every part of her body was growing hotter and hotter, every touch was like a massive bolt of lightning going through her body, and it only made everything that much better.

Stardust twitched, slightly rubbing his bulge as his eyes darted between the two. His mind swapping between various thoughts and feelings. This was only made worse by how it seemed to have only gotten bigger after having sex with Ash again, it almost frightened him. Almost. Instead of fear though, he was just growing more aroused. “Damn it...” He muttered under his breath, really not wanting to break up the two in his room. Despite it being his home, he wanted them both to be happy, and they looked like they were in bliss.

Ash and Celestia were both screaming at this point. Stardust was about to pass out from all the blood rushing to his crotch. The screams of the two deities making love made the entire house shake. The windows were cracked, and shattered shortly after. "I can't h-hold it..." Ash growled with need the purest form of lust dripped from his tongue.

“Don’t! Get me pregnant!” Celestia screamed, her walls milking him desperately, her body ready for his seed, and his foals. “Make me yours!”

Celestia’s words both startled Star, and set something off inside of him. He forced his libido down, vainly attempting to cull it in spite of the vicious mating going on in front of him. A little voice kept telling him to hold it all in, save it all... He clenched his fists, never taking his eyes off of them. He already knew what he was going to do to get rid of his now, fully pent up lust. He gripped the doorway tightly, steadying himself for when he’d pull away, of course he wanted to see them finish... it’d only make his own finish later even better... his mind was screaming at him, screaming for him to burst in there and claim the tight green ass. Star bit his lip, shaking that thought off, now only waiting for the Sun Goddess to receive her sloppy load.

Ash and Celestia's scream harmonized into an amalgamation of one orgasmic union. Though Celestia waited, nothing happened. Or at least, nothing seemed to happen.

Star was taken aback, he expected cum to come flooding out of her marehood, her stomach to bulge out, anything really. But absolutely nothing happened, and it both frightened and excited him, he was even more curious now. What was going on inside Celestia if Ash wasn’t pumping her full of cum?

Even Celestia wasn't sure what was happening. "Ash?" She mumbled, clearly out of breath. The view that Stardust had was as hot as it could be. His view was from behind, seeing Ash's sack, and ass, along with Celestia's legs on either side of his hips. The monstrously thick cum in his balls was jammed, making a knot-like bulge at the base of Ash's cock. The knot bulged wider, and wider, his cock giving a hard twitch with every attempted load. When he started to push his hips forward, Celestia gasped. Her pussy lips stretched wider, and wider. With a wet schliiick! The circuit was complete. All that built pressure was released. Celestia's jaw shot open, spitting as a the wind was knocked out from her lungs. Her belly exploded out from flat, to clearly-pregnant. With it's new starting size, it slowly ballooned with loud pulsating blorts.

Star’s eyes widened more than he ever thought they could. It was a sight he’d never witnessed, and could never hope to witness again. This was something only Ash could ever achieve, and it was hot beyond belief. By now Star was sweating, more than he ever had before. His face was now completely red, and he was sure if he could get any hotter he’d become his namesake. He watched in a mixture of horror and absolute anticipation as he already knew, Celestia was pregnant, there was no escaping it.

Celestia on the other hand had lost all mental capacity, no thoughts flooded her mind, all she could feel, or think about was the sudden fullness that was unmatched by anything before and just kept growing. Her eyes had rolled back again, and her juices had become a flood, though they were getting added to the massive amount of cum already in her womb and cunt, that just kept growing. There was more than enough to get every mare in Equestria pregnant ten times over and it was now all being pumped into one of the most regal and pristine mares that ever graced the land.

The next thing Star saw made a trickle of drool escaped from the corner of his mouth. Gazing at his mate's puffy green sack, he saw a ring of white surround it. Celestia had stopped swelling. Every twitch thereafter made the white ring fill more, and more. What Stardust was actually seeing was the overly-condensed cum pouring out from around Ash's cock. It was like everything he produced was one giant strand of boiling silly-putty. Celestia's insides were filled with his breeding glue, sticking her walls together. Every twitch of his cock was met with a lewd bubbling as the white tar was forced a little closer to the bed and her ass below. At some points Stardust couldn't tell if it was his cum making the sound, or the mare gargling on her own sex-drunken drool.

"H-holy shit..." Stardust could barely eep out, his own voice choked and cracking. He felt so many things rising within him, it was a mixture of things he’d never felt, and could even begin to fathom. He suddenly felt so much smaller, but by the gods, it was amazing.

The sound of Ash panting quickly overtook the plethora of lewd noises. Taking a moment to relax, Ash lightly rubbed Celestia's dense belly. "Ohh... oh gosh. I... I don't know what came over me." Ash seemed extremely concerned at what had just transpired.

Celestia mumbled lightly, a dreamy look coming over her face. Her eyes, still unfocused now bore large hearts, signaling her deepest feelings to Ash.

"Eh... never mind." Ash's body seemed to relax, a warm smile filling his lips.

Stardust was still awe-struck, unable to move from his spot in the doorway. His mind was racing through so many things. All he could do was stare, the dumbfounded look on his face, plus the still raging hard-on didn’t help very much. For him, they just made everything tenfold harder to deal with.

Ash slowly slipped from her depths, absolutely flaccid at this point. "Not that you have much choice, but... you rest. I'll intercept Stardust so he doesn't see the mess we've made of his bed." He laughed, hopping to his feet and stretching.

Stardust’s eyes widened even more and he vanished without even a flash. Disappearing to just outside the front door, he took in a few quick deep breaths trying to steady himself and calm every part of his body down. “Oh dear gods...” He said, he put his head in his hands shaking his head even more. “Okay... okay you can make it seem normal...” He knew of one thing he could do that’d severely help with his emotions, working out until fatigue took over, it always made his birthdays better and this one wouldn’t be any different.

Chapter 10: Birthday Time

Ash found it curious that when he went downstairs the basement door that was usually closed was now left wide open. At first he was taken aback before he saw, the steps themselves were finished and a beautiful oak, with similar paneling all around. A red carpet led down the stairs, almost beckoning him to come down to check it out. As he did, the basement came further into view, it was finished and quite beautiful, almost like all of the rest of the house. It was also quite large, having several rooms. At first he saw a couch and second large TV, and then another door was open, he approached and peeked in, Star was inside currently working his arms out with heavy weights, completely focused on his task. He wasn’t paying attention to anything else.

Ash took further time to look around, other rooms were labeled various things, Shower, Sauna, Equipment Room, and Storage. The one he was in was labeled, Lounge. He smiled, noticing that Star took a lot of pride in his home, and his body. The equipment, including all the weights appeared to be well used and lovingly taken care of. The young unicorn was full of surprises, but that was to be expected, in due time Ash knew he’d learn everything about Stardust.

Stardust was already beginning to sweat, having pushed himself harder than he usually did. He wanted to get the arm reps out of the way to move onto heavier parts of his workout. Honestly, he only ever did this to make himself happy, nopony ever watched him workout, and he didn’t mind. It was a bit more peaceful down here, away from everything and everypony. His own sanctum, more so than his bedroom ever could be. To him this was a temple, and he was the god of it. This was his worship, though he’d never admit his pride to anypony, in fact just the thought embarrassed him, only bringing a small smile to his face as he thought of how silly he must look.

He was sure he looked like a typical ‘dudebro’ working out whenever he got the chance, or whenever he got particularly stressed out. But he absolutely adored the pain that came after, it had a way of making him feel better when if finally passed.

"Someone is dressed to impress." Ash grinned, approaching his friend, not realizing he was still naked.

Star stopped his reps and looked back, “O-oh hey.” He said, “Uuh, heh...” He scratched his head with his free hand before setting down the weight. His eyes moved over the front of Ash’s body for a few moments, even though he’d seen him naked plenty of times it still made his heart flutter to see Ash like this. The glistening unicorn stood up, his usual half naked body now bearing a tank top, and gym shorts. His midnight blue mane was tied to the left side of his head for the moment, covering his one golden eye, the other glimmering in the light. His black coat, at least what was visible was beginning to glisten with a bit of sweat. “When did you get down here?” He inquired.

"Don't worry, I wasn't staring... long." Ash chuckled, approaching and hugging Stardust. Ash closed his eyes and shivered, rubbing against Star's sweaty self.

Stardust hugged him back for a few moments, “Well... um, did you want to stay a while and watch? We can talk a bit while I work out.” He suggested, smiling a little. “After I’m done we could hit the sauna for a bit... of course if we leave I will need to shower, can’t go out covered in sweat.” He chuckled.

"I meant to ask by the way... when's your birthday so I can get you something." Ash beamed at the question and eagerly waited.

“Oooh, you never have to get me anything.” Star laughed, grinning, “I really just do my own thing on my birthday, treat myself a little. Aaand, it’s today, I’ve turned twenty four.” He let out a sigh, his own smile not fading.

Ash didn't move in the slightest, and neither did his smile. "Seriously, when is your birthday?"

“Today.” Stardust repeated in a serious tone.

Ash glanced around the room before asking, "Do you have any water?"

“Uuh...” Stardust reached down and grabbed his water bottle, handing it to Ash. “Here you go?” He said uncertainly.

Ash opened the bottle and took a big gulp before setting it back down. Looking away, Ash took the longest spit-take Stardust had seen in quite some time. "What?!" Ash practically shouted.

Stardust bit back a laugh, “Mmm hm, I sort of spend every birthday alone, working out, and treating myself to great food and sleep. No parties... no presents.” He shrugged. “I just sort of spend all day not thinking about anything besides myself for the most part. It helps me relieve a lot of stress. More than most ponies would ever think.” He chuckled.

Ash grabbed Stardust and violently shook him. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!" He blurted.

Stardust was silent for a few moments, his eyes going wide, “Nnnnoo!” He said quickly.

"Happy birthday!" Ash shouted, still shaking Stardust carelessly.

“C-can you sstop shaking me please?” Stardust practically begged.

Ash removed his hands from Star, the pony still shaking from the reverberation of Ash's actions. Slowly, Star came to a stop. "Hi." Ash smiled.

“H-hi.” Star laughed quietly, returning the smile. He steadied himself on the nearby bench. “Ooh boy, didn’t expect that when I told you...”

"It may be short notice, but..." Ash placed his own hands to his own hips proudly. "Anything you want, just name it!"

“Mmm, why don’t you let me get a bit more exercise in?” Star inquired, hugging Ash for a few moments before pecking him on the lips. His eyes sparkling lovingly. “After I’m done... I know I’ll be able to think of something's we can do...”

Ash nodded, already thinking of a good surprise. "Got it. The next time you see me, I'll have your present."

“Oooh, I can’t wait.” Star grinned, letting go of Ash. “I’ll be ready in a few more minutes.” He waved at Ash as he left the gym, leaving Star alone with his thoughts. Star pushed himself through a bit more of his routine, though he cut it short because he was honestly curious as to what Ash had as a ‘surprise’ it could literally be anything with him. He chuckled, grabbing a towel and his water bottle. He began wiping away some of the sweat as he walked to the staircase, slowly going upstairs. “Ash, I’m fiiii---” He trailed off as he walked to the kitchen, seeing a still naked Ash standing there. But s-she was much more curvaceous... and he was a she now. His eyes went wide, the towel falling from his hand, and his water bottle clattering to the ground as the unicorn stood in awe. “Hoooo.... hooo boy...” He breathed out, though he only saw part of her side, and her still massive, and now plush looking ass. His cock rapidly began to harden as he stared at the plant pony. He was sure this sight would make any stallion faint, a beautiful and curvaceous mare making breakfast fully in the nude on his birthday. “A-Ash?” He breathed out, now finally able to speak. The heat in his massive cock spreading throughout his body, he struggled against the rising lust, combating it only temporarily.

But now, everything was coming to a head, his work out did nothing to staunch the aching in his full sack, and the throbbing in his cock only made it worse. He wouldn’t last very long, and he hadn't even seen her front...

Her ass was a reflection of Star's eyes, that being hearts. Slowly, the mare spun around. Ash had an apron on. The apron was shaped to follow the curves down her hourglass figure, showing the bust she sported. Her chest didn't look real... those globes defied gravity, but simultaneously bobbed. The way they jiggled, Star knew they were full of milk. The dark grassy hair she had looked much softer, and ran down her shoulders, all overwhelming each of Stardust's senses. "Happy birthday." Ash's new voice was softer, cuter.

Stardust remained silent for a few seconds, absolutely dumbfounded. “W-wow... I... I uuuh didn’t... wow.” He mumbled. His mouth nearly hanging open, “Oh gods...” His eyes traced all over her body, and he had to hold himself in place.

"I'm a force of nature, sweetie." Ash giggled and purred lovingly. "Male, female... stallion, mare. All the same to me. Why don't you tell me how close I got?" She sighed, leaning forward and making her bust bulge out through the slot at the top of the apron.

“You look... amazing ...” He nearly growled, now approaching her. His muscled and glistening arms wrapping around her, she was pulled into his lips, a deep and passionate kiss. He didn’t undo the apron, but he did slid his hands down, pulling her in even closer, groping her ass with no reservations. “You’re absolutely smoking...” He breathed, nipping her ear. His magic wrapped around her breasts, massaging them momentarily before he stepped back. “Mmmm... this is going to be my best birthday ever...” He licked his lips, Now Ash could fully see the painful bulge in his shorts up close, well, there should have been a bulge, instead his cock was sliding out, halfway up his muscled chest, Ash had to take a second to realize how much her venom had affected the stallion. Stardust licked his lips as he looked her over even more. “I think I know what else I want from you.” He breathed out.

"Don't let me stop you." Ash said casually.

Stardust paused and tilted his head for a moment. “What?” He asked.

Ash's smile never faltered. "This is the best thing I could do on such short notice. I know practically nothing about traditions now a days. I'm still rather new, have no money, don't know anypony, and I love you." She said a slight bit quieter. "I can't imaging forgetting about your birthday, and I certainly wasn't going to just forget about you, don't even dare suggest I try." Ash cupped Star's cheeks, her smile returning in full. "So take my body and use it until you're satisfied. If I'm not pretty enough, I'll keep trying til I'm perfect, and you're happy." She assured, her gaze pouring unfiltered love back into Star's eyes. "Your happiness is the only thing on this planet that matters to me."

Stardust’s face slowly went blank, his eyes closing momentarily. He soon lovingly embraced Ash. “You’re perfect.” He said. “You always will be.” He looked up at her for a few moments. “I love you... so, so much...”

Ash cupped his cheeks. Star had his cheeks cupped often by Ash, and always, regardless of strength, never changed. It was warm, loving, tender... unchanging. Even now with such gentle-looking hands. "My precious little Stardust." Her voice made his body tingle, and his heart flutter.

In that moment, Stardust felt a massive and incredibly oppressive wave of shame wash over him. Did... did he really want to take her out in public and ravage her? No, no he didn’t... it may be his birthday but he wanted Ash to be the one to feel special. He was going to make her feel wonderful today. He smiled weakly at Ash and returned the touch, caressing her cheeks. “Why do I feel like I don’t deserve you...” He whimpered softly before he kissed her. “How can you do so much to me... so many things I’ve never felt, and didn’t know existed...” He soon hugged her pulling her in close. “Gods, Ash...” He closed his eyes, just tenderly embracing the large mare. Every ounce of lust gone, now replaced by the love Ash had felt just a night ago, as though they were just simply too long missing halves. He whimpered again, the sound nearly breaking Ash’s heart until she saw the happy smile on his face.

The silence between them was long and heartfelt as they stared into each other's eyes. “Ash, I want to take you out today... and just... spend the day with you. I don’t care if we do, or don’t have sex. That doesn’t matter... so long as you’re with me. I know I’ll be happy.” He breathed out, kissing her again.

Ash's heart fluttered. She actually blushed, wrapping her arms around his neck and sighing longingly.

Star managed to pick Ash up, not even being put off balance. “Forget breakfast my sweet, you and I are going to go out for some food... than we’ll spend some time in the park, cuddled up on a blanket.” He said, slowly carrying her up to his room, so the two could spend a bit more time together as Star got dressed. Star reluctantly set Ash down on the bed, leaving her body to put some clothes on. “Perhaps, you too should form yourself some clothes. We’ll have plenty of time to spend in the nude tonight.” He teased.

"Yes sir." She nodded with a salute.

Stardust was wondering if he should be the one in front. Ash took the liberty of wearing the light green yoga pants, and the tight, green tanktop that blended seamlessly with her pants to look
almost like a onesie outfit.

Regardless of what she had formed for herself, she looked absolutely beautiful. Every step enticed Stardust to wrap his arms around her, hell he wanted to just carry her around, though with their size difference, the best he could get out was just up the stairs to his bed. He could wait, leaving holding her to when they were close and truly able to cuddle un-abashedly.

“Oooh, Ash...” He breathed, moving to her side, running his hand over her soft rump. He smiled widely up at her, “Before I couldn’t wait to ravage you... now I can’t wait to wrap my arms around you again, and cuddle for as long as we can.” He said, “Even before you became a mare... My favorite part was always when we’d lay there basking in our love, and just hold each other.” Soon his hand moved to hers, squeezing in tightly. “I can’t say I love you enough.”

"Star..." Ash's eyes started to water. With a shaky voice, she spoke while trying not to outright sob. "I'm so happy you found me."

Star wiped the tears away, lovingly cupping her cheek for a moment. “You are the greatest thing to ever happen to me.” He said softly. “I want you to know that...” He cooed, stopping dead in his tracks, and bringing her to a soft stop, now holding both of her hands. The shorter unicorn smiled widely, tears in his own eyes. He was absolutely overjoyed and let go of himself, pulling her into a tight hug, his lips instantly touching hers.

The two held the kiss for several minutes, neither desiring the unpleasant chill that’d follow after they broke apart. Though when they did finally pull apart, “And never forget that.” He brought her right hand to his heart and held it close. “You’re part of me now, and I wouldn’t ever want it any other way.” He smiled warmly.

"What does my favorite stallion want to do today?" Ash closed his eyes, nuzzling Star's neck.

Stardust laughed quietly, “Besides you?” He teased, “I just wanted to spend time with you... in any way we can. If you want... we could just head back home now, and find something to do together. With your body now... mm, I wouldn’t mind showing you some yoga... or taking a nice warm bath with you, and just settle into the warm water.... there’s so many things I want to do.” He smiled, “Though, I want to hear what you want... your wants and needs are just as important as mine.” He cooed, squeezing her hands.

"Easy big boy. If we're not careful, you might knock me up." Ash purred. Those words hit Stardust like a sack of bricks. That was a thought he was willing to entertain. In fact, he couldn't quite stop thinking about it.

“Mmm...” Stardust mumbled, bouncing the thought of getting Ash pregnant. He had always wanted foals of his own. “Well... I don’t think that quite stopped you from doing it to Celestia...” He mused quietly, almost forgetting Ash was there for the moment as he slipped into thought.

"Oh you naughty colt." Ash purred sensually. She reached down and into his shorts, taking hold of Star by his junk tight enough so that if Stardust even so much as moved, it would hurt. All he could do was stay locked up where he stood.

Star’s eyes widened as he stared at Ash, unsure of what to do. “Uuh...” He mumbled quizzically, and a bit fearfully. “W-what are you doing?”

"Didn't anypony tell you it's rude to peep?" Ash licked his lips. "Maybe I should take that extra bit of cock I gave you back. Or maybe take it all and show you what it means to be a mare." She said with the faintest hint of lust. "Maybe it'll be you who gets pumped full of babies."

“Uuuuh...” Star’s body stiffened even more, “A-Ash...” He said uncertainly, not really knowing this sort of dominance from Ash. He felt the slightest tell-tale signs of growing arousal.

"You know what I think? I think you're right." Ash mused, her fingers digging into his puffy sack light enough to actually feel good.

“About... what?” Star asked, his still aching sack reacting in full to her now changed touch. His cock now slowly growing hard, pre already leaking out despite it not reaching full mast yet.

"You said you want to know what I want. I want..." Ash spun Stardust around and pushed him into the wall, pressing her body into his back. "I wanna make you my mare, and knock you up. I'm gonna make you my bitch... tell me how that makes you feel." She purred. Stardust felt something between Ash's legs, something that wasn't there before.

Star’s eyes only grew wider and he gulped, his mind reeling no single sound in it. “Uuuh...” He mumbled quietly, his breathing growing heavier, though not in a panicked way. “I... uuh...” He mumbled, his entire body now aching at her words.

Suddenly, she let go. "But today is your day. So we can do whatever you want!" Ash's cute voice had returned along with a giggle. Slowly, Stardust turned around and saw Ash was still in her green tank-top and yoga pants. And that she was still in fact a she.

Star was left entire body still aching with need. He remained silent, his thoughts catching up. One feeling returning now in full. With her little spiel, he was left with an undying need to fill something, anything. Now Ash caught whiff of his musk, and it was... different from when she was a stallion. Now it had a semi-sweet scent to it, almost addictive. It was clear his magic was mixing with his natural functions and she shuddered at what it might mean for her now.

“L...” He whispered something that she couldn’t quite understand. Now both his hands were holding him up.

Ash's eyes fluttered innocently for a moment. "I'm joking, Star." She chuckled.

Stardust remained a little stiff, now slowly turning back around, "O-okay." He mumbled, seeming embarrassed by the entire situation.

Ash's happy expression slipped to concern. "That was way too far, wasn't it..." She seemed to shrink, her ears drooping slowly.

"No! I was just taken by surprise!" Star said quickly, hugging Ash close and smiling at her, his face still flushed.

Ash's grin returned in full force. She practically tackled Star with the returned embrace, wrapping her arms and legs around his body with a giggle. "Aaannddd now I can't move." Star laughed, nuzzling Ash. "Gods, now I can't wait for the su-" He cut himself off and just hugged her back.

"Say it." Ash pecked his cheek quickly.

"I'm not telling you my plans." Star huffed defiantly, "Especially not... well what I desire to end today with."

"As long as we end it together... I don't mind what the day ends with." Ash relaxed a tiny bit, stroking a hand through his hair. There was a long pause of silence before Ash spoke up again. "That was phrased poorly. I'm not suicidal I swear."

Stardust blinked a few times. "Well... I agree with that..." He said slowly. He looked around for a moment before he pushed his lips to hers, squeezing her warmly. "I love you Ash." He said softly, he ran a hand over her cheek.

Ash couldn't help but blush. She threw out a dozen tendrils and wrapped them around his body, "I wish we could stay like this forever."

"So do I... but then we'd miss so much. And you'd never get to meet my family." He teased, smiling wider than before.

"I bet it's nice to have family." Ash's smile, for once, started to disappear.

"Stop that." Stardust said in an unusually commanding tone. "You have Celestia, Luna, and you'd better not be telling me you don't think I'm family... if you are than I'm doing something wrong." He cupped Ash's cheek. "And if it's me... than I just need to try harder to prove I really love you."

Tears welled up in Ash's eyes all over again. She was smiling wider than Stardust had seen to date. "Thank you..."

"You're very welcome..." Star kissed her cheek. "You beautiful, silly, cuddly plant pony..." Stardust was beaming. "Why don't we head back upstairs?" He suggested. "We can save a picnic for later..."

"I think upstairs is taken." Ash remembered her earlier antics, blushing and scratching her head. "Sorry."

Stardust laughed, "Not a problem! We have the entire rest of our house. Name a spot and we'll go there."

"Maybe we could cuddle a little on the couch?" Ash suggested.

Stardust smiled lovingly, his magic instantly moving them to the couch. He nuzzled Ash and kissed her, "Anything to make you happy." He beamed.

Ash cooed at his affection, pushing his hands down to her waist. The yoga pants she wore were an entirely new side of her. Specifically the backside. It was so smooth, almost unreal.

Stardust was stunned and he happily groped her flank, though he didn't let up on his affection, leaning in and kissing her neck, "You smell wonderful..." He panted.

Ash gave a cute moan, feeling his abs and pecs with her hands. "Such a romantic." She sighed softly.

Stardust grinned, kissing her neck a few times. “It’s something I’m good at.” He joked, nipping her playfully. Ash didn’t have to wait much longer for the bulge to begin to form under her. He squeezed her soft rump, digging his fingers into her flesh as he ground against her, now shifting a bit to kiss and nip at the shirt covering her breasts.

"Ohheeh!" Ash squeaked, grinding against his swelling bulge.

Star’s grin grew even wider and he now ran his hands up her back. “Oooh... Ash, you’re always so damn perfect...” He breathed, looking up at her. The scent now coming back in full, he pulled her head down closer. “Ash... I’m going to make sure you enjoy every single second of it...” He shifted, pushing her back into the couch. He slipped away, kissing down her body as he slowly got onto his knees in front of her. He gripped her thighs, happily nuzzling into her crotch. He nipped playfully on the outside of her pants, tugging as he would to pull them off of any other mare. “I’m going to eat you out...” He breathed, staring up hungrily at Ash.

"How you ponies stand clothes is beyond me." Ash licked her lips. Several bulges appeared in her yoga pants. The clothes exploded into shreds by many of her tendrils bursting out from underneath. Seeing Ash for all her beauty, Star saw she was already glistening down below.

Star laughed softly, now leaning in, he took in her scent. His eyes slid shut and he wasted no more time, his tongue slipped into her marehood as he buried his face in her snatch. He slurped up her juices, his arms wrapping around her legs holding them in place over his shoulders as his expertise showed. Ash may have thought he’d been good with a cock but this was a different experience. His tongue traced and pressed into her walls like a finger, probing and teasing her in the most tantalizing ways.

Star in the meantime was moaning into her juice pussy solely at the taste, it was heaven for him.

Ash's coos and moans were quiet, and absolutely adorable. It was like Stardust was eating out a virgin that had never even touched herself before.

Stardust couldn’t help but grin, now replacing his tongue with his fingers. He stretched her out just a bit, fingering the plant pony as he looked up at her. “You really like this...” He breathed, kissing her clit, “My...” He nuzzled her stomach lovingly, “Just wait... I’ll make sure it only gets better.” He teased, slowly moving up her body again, his eyes staying locked on hers as he put his lips to her right breast, gently biting her nipple.

"Been y- yehaaa! Y-years since I've..." Ash stuttered and quaked at every little touch. "used this body..."

“I feel honored that I get to see it.” He kissed her, “Honored that I get to spend my birthday with you.” He smiled, now positioned in front of her, his hand still buried in her snatch, his other cupping her cheek. “I love you, Ash.”

Ash took the hand on her cheek and squeezed. Her eyes fluttered lovingly as she spoke two words that made his heart soar. "Take me..."

As Star’s lips touched hers, his fingers slipped from her marehood, being replaced by his stallionhood. He pushed slowly, savoring every second of the thorough penetration, and making sure she’d enjoy every moment. His tongue slipped into her mouth, wrapping around hers as he continued to caress her cheek, his other hand gripping her free hand. Star wanted to be in contact with as much of her body as he could, only the thought of giving Ash a perfect life running through his mind. It was a long few moments before he had managed to bury the first half of his cock in her, he finally pulled back from her lips, though he did so only to nuzzle her nose. He drew in deep breaths, his medial ring just outside of her lips. He could already feel it welling up, once it was in, he’d plow her senseless. There was no real stopping it, but he wanted to enjoy these last few moments before he truly took her.

“Gods...” He panted, smiling wider, “You’re really changing me...” He shivered, feeling her walls suckle on his meat. He met her eyes, “Are you sure you’re ready? You’ve already said it’s been a long time... and you know how I am in bed.” He asked rhetorically.

Tracing a finger just enough to tickle him in all the right ways, Ash's finger circled his cheek and forehead. "Rut me big boy... show me who I belong to." Ash's feminine and cute tone turned husky and oh-so sultry.

The lust in his eyes chilled her, but there was no time for that. Stardust leaned in and at first she thought he’d teethe on her neck, instead he bit down, his hands roughly grabbing her hips. She’d set something off, something that excited her to the core. Before any more thoughts could cross her mind her breath was knocked away, only to come out in a scream as every inch of his thick virility plunged into her, violently wrenching her pussy open for its’ new master. Once he was firmly in the gasping and panting mare, he let go of her neck, kissing it as he leaned down and bit down on her breast, sucking roughly.

She could feel his pre pumping into her like it was thick cum. He was pent up, and she was feeling it all come out onto her. He was motionless other than sucking on her breast and light grinding. His cock twitched inside her loving passage, gleefully pumping her with pre, making her wonder what his actual cum would feel like.

Ash was feeling an entirely new sense of pleasure that even her love with Celestia hadn't prepared her for. Ash felt protected, safe, and so small. But it felt nice! Being at Star's complete mercy for him to do as he pleases... it was exhilarating. Ash's teeth chattered while she tried to gain some sort of foothold on the rush of pleasure and excitement, but just kept slipping and fumbling over her own thoughts. "Star... slower." She managed to build the strength to speak.

Star pulled back from her succulent teat, straightening up, his grip on her hips tightening as he slowly began to pull out. Though his silence was far from cold, he heeded her words and she could feel it, as once he was halfway at he slowly pushed right back in. “Like this?” He asked, his voice full of care and love. He leaned in and kissed her nose, “I... was a little rough there... but, you feel so damn amazing.” He teased, “The way you pull me back in... how it’s like you’re trying to suck my soul out through my cock... it’s hot so... damn HOT !” He panted, pushing firmly against her cervix, it was only then when she noticed the few inches still remaining outside of her.

There was no doubt that he wanted it all in her. He continued his slow dragging against her walls, never letting up as he kissed her neck and cheek. “You’re not leaving my arms for the rest of the day... and you’ll have to break out of them to leave tomorrow...” He added, nuzzling her neck. “But, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, won’t we, Ash?” This time when his tip met her cervix he pushed a bit harder, trying to slip into her deepest parts. Stardust’s breath was hot, heavy, and comforting, she didn’t just belong to him, he belonged to her, and she could feel that.

"Hohh Stardust..." Ash had hearts floating around her head. Star may have questioned how sappy he was being, but by the way her insides leaked and spasmed, he had a feeling it was the perfect amount of sap. Her body was reacting in many unorthodox ways. Her breasts were lactating, her scent was overpowering. Taking the first real look at her in this state nearly made him cum right there. Ash's entire body was glistening with sweat. Her hair was disheveled and like a desperate dog dying of thirst. Though Stardust wanted to be slow and delicate for his gentle flower of a mare, he knew something deep down that no matter what he did it would all end with Ash melting beneath him like butter. It was so magical, he just wanted to hold her. But with their bodies intertwined, he wanted everything.

Stardust leaned in and locked lips with the very definition of perfection, now nearly tearing out, and slamming back in, his mighty thrust aided by his magic made it through into her womb. This small unicorn shivered in pure ecstasy, his throbbing and aching cock releasing a solid jet of his seed into Ash, his flare locking him in place mere moments later. His seed may not have been goo, but the thick liquid was locked in her womb, filling her up rapidly as the blue-balled Stardust emptied his first of many rounds into her. He didn’t care how quickly he came, just so long as he’d be able to keep up pleasuring Ash. His aching balls didn’t lose a single mili-gram of mass, only growing tighter and more aching as his seed roiled back in, just as thick as before.

His hands shot to her leaking breasts, squeezing and groping more milk out of them. The fluid running over his hands and onto the couch and floor, making their already messy sex that much more so. Nothing would be left unstained, and that’s the way it should be.

Ash shrieked loud enough to make the room shake. Her back arched, writhing with her legs kicking uncontrollably on either side of the stallion's muscular hips. The way she spasmed and reacted only made his love skyrocket. The fact she was brought to such extremes drove him crazy.

“Nnnah! Yeeeesss!” Stardust groaned loudly, his heart fluttering as he poured gallons of liquid love into her. Her voice causing a second orgasm to push through, only adding to the volume of the first.

Ash's mouth hung open as she was filled. And a thought occurred to Star. This elegant donut needed to be glazed.

Stardust teleported Ash off of his cock, putting her on her knees. His cock still spilling his fertile seed, coating her green body white. His mark now covering her outside. “Yeeessss...” He moaned, stroking his cock to ease out even more cum.

Ash's long, snake tongue slithered and coiled around Star's shaft, lightly stroking it as he marked her with his musky scent. The sight of the bloated goddess bathing in his cum made him feel like he was dreaming. That, and the way she played with her breasts with handfuls of his thick cream only turned Stardust on more.

Stardust’s magic pulled her head into his crotch, pushing his cock into her open mouth, “Here... have a taste...” He groaned, now running his fingers through her cum drenched hair.

Ash's face flushed crimson, her eyes glossing over (if that was even possible) and gurgling pleasantly. Stardust was caught utterly off guard when he pushed his length into her mouth. It went in, and kept going, and going... like she had no gag reflex at all, just swallowing it in one gulp. The only thing was, she didn't stop. She kept sucking, harder, harder... his sack pressed into Ash's chin, making his eyes bulge as his crotch feebly attempted to push further, but having nowhere left to go.

Star gasped and his head fell back, “GAaa! Aaaash!” He moaned loudly, rubbing his musk into her nose, a scent she’d never forget.

A lewd, slurping squelch echoed through the room as she swallowed bulge after bulge of heavy cum into her stomach. By the way Stardust was reacting, she might as well have been draining his very life force.

After several long minutes, he pulled desperately out of her maw, truthfully not wanting to die, even if it was a heavenly pleasure. His cock finally stopped spewing cum, though it was still hard. “O...Oh gods, I wish I had known you’d do that beforehand.” He laughed quietly, shivering a little.

Looking down, Ash had the most innocent, loving gaze he'd ever seen. His heart skipped and jumped around his chest when he saw her toothy smile, his cum forcing one of her eyes shut as it poured down her face and chest, and back, and... yeah.

Knowing he’d done this to her made him all the more happy. In his pure joy he leaped at her, pushing his lips to her, uncaring of his cum now covering him, so long as he was able to hold and kiss Ash.

Ash let out a quick squeal that trailed off into muffled giggles as their lips connected. She hugged Star tightly, not caring his cum was pouring from her abused, virgin pussy.

“You’re so perfect... what did I do to deserve you?” Star asked, pulling back from her lips, now caressing her cum soaked cheek lovingly. The seed pooling beneath them. The scent of sex permeating the entire home, and possibly at least the street outside the house.

Ash's lengthened nails gently combed through his hair, soothing him more than he expected it to. "My precious little Stardust." She cooed. The way she spoke to him, Stardust could have sworn she was an angel.

Stardust smiled wider, nuzzling her cheek, “I love you so much... I’m so happy you’re with me. I’ll always love you, no matter what.” He grinned.

Star felt warmer than normal when he was holding her. Strangely, it was really warm. In fact, the warmth was odd. He finally realized he was being slowly encompassed by her many tentacles. Stardust's heart skipped a beat as she stood up. Ash was still his usual height, maybe even taller... she (and her sexy, busty, hourglass figure) towered two whole feet over him. That feeling of dominance from earlier was slowly being stamped out like a campfire in the middle of a rainstorm.

It made Star feel wonderfully safe to be with Ash. His head now resting against her neck. The warmth only compounding it, “You’re so warm...” He murmured feeling a little tired.

Ash effortlessly lifted him up and began walking toward the bathroom. Her heavenly voice hummed out a lullaby that Stardust knew as 'Hush Little Baby'. Star knew there was no degrading intent with this song she hummed. It was genuine, and making him sleepy. Star knew that Ash shared features of many different animals and plants in nature, along with poisons and drug-like substances. It was now becoming clear that Ash has only shown a tiny fraction of the creatures he has within him. The melody she hummed felt like that of a siren, lulling him into a state of helplessness.

"You're... absolutely exotic... and so perfect." Stardust yawned, nuzzling into her neck, and cuddling into the blanket of tentacles around him. "I'm so happy that you love me..."

Ash hummed lovingly. "You are the most amazing pony I have ever met." She said softly, gently raking her hands through his hair. Her next words made Stardust start to sob silently. "Great things are forged in fire. I may be loved by many, and a flame that burns brightly... you were my spark, Stardust."

Stardust had never felt happier in his life, the tears running down his face and the smile he wore proved that. He couldn't think of any words to say, but in truth none were needed. All he could do was nuzzle Ash's neck. Causing her neck to grow wet as he wept.

Stardust nuzzled in, his eyes slowly closing as he was lulled into the warmest and most comfortable sleep he had ever felt.

Stardust nuzzled in, his eyes slowly closing as he was lulled into the warmest and most comfortable sleep he had ever felt.

"Goodnight, my precious little Star."

Chapter 11: New Friends

Ash gave Star's head a gentle pet as he watched him sleep. The plant pony was back to his original self. He wandered to the wardrobe and perused the many clothes hung in the closet. Ash took a pair of pink slacks and t-shirt. "Perfect!" He laughed. Dressing himself, Ash made his way to the front door, went out and opened the mailbox.

As he got there Ponyville's favorite mailmare was just arriving. "Oh, hi!" She waved smiling up at Ash. "Is Stardu...h..." Derpy trailed off as her eyes spotted the uncontainable bulge he was sporting.

Ash turned and smiled. Many conflicted feelings went through Derpy. He had a shirt that was just a tad short, exposing the muscle lined midriff he so thoughtfully put on display for any passing mare. She had never seen Ash before, and saw his scary eyes and razor sharp teeth. But saw his pink ensemble and thought he couldn't be that bad. Her eyes darted between his eyes, mouth, abs, and crotch. "I'm Ash, pleased to meet you."

"I...I'm Derpy I-it's uhhh nice to meet you..." She blushed.

"Oh! You must be here for Stardust. He's asleep. Him and I had a bit of fun earlier, and he's exhausted... taking a little nap." Ash gave a suggestive wink and a playful laugh.

Derpy's blush grew brighter. " I... I um d... didn't know he w-was into stallions... e-especially cute ones." She mumbled looking away, "B-but I h... have a letter for him..." She rummaged through her mail bag looking for it.

When Derpy looked back she noticed something that even Ash had forgotten. His grass hair was long and lush, hanging down to the middle of his chest. "You're not so bad yourself. Hey, when do you clock out?" Ash smiled warmly. Though based on what their conversation had amounted to, she could only picture what they would do together.

"I... um," She mumbled, "F-five o clock." She paused pulling out a sealed letter. I... here you go." There was a small smile on her face. "Um... I guess... I'll see you later then?"

"This is where I'm staying, you know where to find me." Ash took the hand with her letter and kissed the back of it before relieving her of the mail.

"A-alright! I'll come see you when I get off!" Derpy grinned waving as she flew off.

Ash's smile grew. "I'm starting to like this town." He said aloud, turning around and freezing in place. A pink earth pony was standing in front with a huge smile. Ash blinked slowly, not knowing what to say.

She looked him up and down, "Hi there!" She giggled.

"Are you here for Stardust too? He has a lot of friends!" Ash grinned happily at the new pony's arrival.

Ash extended a hand. "I'm Ash. Nice to meet you."

"We've already met." She said, "I'm Pinkie Pie by the way."

"Have we?" Ash cocked his head to the side and blanked as he tried to remember.

"Oh, it doesn't matter." Pinkie laughed, smiling even more. "I was just wondering whatcha were doin." She bounced up and down.

Ash pocketed the letter and shrugged. "I dunno. I just met a really nice pink pony who made me forget about what I was doing. So there's that." He grinned, playfully hissing and letting his snake-like tongue slither out.

Pinkie giggled, "I bet it had something to do with that letter, who's it for?" She asked. "Or, is it a seeecret ?"

"Said it was for Stardust, so... I probably shouldn't open it." Ash's brows furrowed, clearly thinking about opening it.

"You should! I'm sure he wouldn't mind." Pinkie reasoned, "It could be something really fun too! Just think it could be a glitter bomb... you wouldn't want that all over the house would you?"

"No... not that one." Pinkie giggled. "It's just so much fun to prank other ponies, yah know?"

Ash brought a finger up to the letter, his fingernail shifting into a claw and cutting the top of the letter open. The act made Pinkie oo and ahh for a moment. He shook his head and unfolded the paper inside to read it.

"To my adorable Starry Sky; We're planning a massive bonfire night this year. The entire family is going to be there! We'd love it if you came as well, we're going to pull all the stops, we've been saving up all year for it! You can bring along whomever you'd like, we'd love to meet any of your friends. And... well if you have one marefriend (your father still doesn't understand what you like, though I'm sure you can set him straight with a few words) or if you have a coltfriend I'd love to meet him. I just hope he's treating you right, if he isn't... well still I'd like to meet him! Momma's cooking can set him on the right path, though you'll have to wheel him out in a cart... please do tell me he likes pies... Anyway, I hope to hear back from you soon! Love Momma. PS; Your sister came back home, and she really misses you. So please, even if you don't want to stay for the festivities and to see your relatives, come by to see her." Ash finished reading the contents of the letter aloud.

"WOOOAH! His parents are inviting him to a party! We should totally convince him to take us with him! It'd be really fun!" Pinkie bounced even more, clapping her hands excitedly.

Ash's eyes sparkled momentarily. With a determined gaze, he strode back into the house. Heading back to the bedroom, he paused beside the bed where Stardust was still asleep. He smiled down at the napping pony, taking it upon himself to lift him up off the bed and shake him violently. "Staaardust!" Ash sang joyously.

Stardust was forced awake, "Whaaaat?" He groaned, trying to push Ash off of him.

"Oh good you're awake." Ash smiled, dropping Star into an upright sitting position. "Letter." He continued, setting the page in Star's lap.

Stardust read over the letter. "Uhhuh, you didn't read it. And I assume Pinkie Pie didn't convince you to." He looked up at the bubbly pink mare that had followed Ash upstairs.

"Hi!" She waved.

Stardust glanced to Ash. "Mmm, I'll think about it." He yawned. "It's not for another two weeks." He stretched out. "But, hey, you might want others to come along. It's huge and basically... everypony there is family, regardless of who brought them. So, I'd definitely want you to meet them." He smiled a little.

Smiling so wide it looked painful, Ash opened his arms in what Stardust assumed was a hug. Though he wasn't prepared for the massive pony to fall forward and crush him.

"GGRRKR!" Stardust grunted, being buried underneath him. "BR...BREATHING NOT NE...EEDED..." He coughed out, trying to escape the death trap he found himself in.

Hugging Stardust tightly, Ash rolled over, switching so Star was the one on top. "I can't wait to meet you parents! What are they like?" Ash sat up, resting his head in Star's hair and smiling like a little filly who just got a tub of candy.

"Mmm... mmm..." Stardust muttered. "Mmm... my mom's really nice... but just... don't say no if she offers you food. It's not a choice. She isn't 'offering' it's eat it our have it shoved down your throat... my dad's... not really gonna see us as together. Just saying... he... doesn't really understand it I guess, though honestly I don’t really know... Or he could just is so hell bent on me giving him grandfoals that he doesn't really care. He won't hate you... you'll just be my 'friend' to him. Hell he'll probably treat you like a son." He started.

And of course, the part Ash chose to quote was obvious. "So your family makes a habit of shoving things down your throat... not just you?" Ash chuckled.

Stardust stared blankly at him, "You sucked me down..." He mumbled, blushing a little. "Mmm..." He looked away. "My mom's a cougar too."

Pinkie scoffed, "Why would yo..." She trailed off, "You're weird."

Ash leaned in, bringing his face uncomfortably close to Star's. "Is your mother pretty?" He asked genuinely. Stardust assumed he was joking, but only for a moment. He sometimes forgets that Ash is millenia old, and he would without a doubt mean a question like that.

"Yes." Stardust nodded. "But, you WILL stay down. You're not going after her. She's married, and she's my MOM !" He stated.

Ash cringed, scratching his head slowly. "Yeah... point taken." He mused. "Though in reality..." Ash made eye contact with Stardust. A pair of pupils appeared. Never had Star seen Ash with a normal pony's eyes, and had a feeling that the sky blue eyes he was staring back into wasn't Ash. "You are fucking my daughter." Solaris droned sternly.

"Woah. Woah. We've had one date." Star put his hands up defensively, "We haven't even seen each other since..." He trailed off a little sadly for a moment, his hands falling down.

Solaris put a hand on Stardust's shoulder. "I'm only joking. Stardust, look at me." His voice sounded ragged, tired.

Stardust looked up at Solaris. "Yeah?" He asked.

"In the short time I've known you, you've cemented how much I like you. You'll always be welcome to courte my daughter. I'm proud of you, son." Solaris said with a weak smile.

Stardust smiled back, "Well... I... thank you." He said, pausing for a moment. "Solaris... are y... you still in pain?" He asked.

Solaris didn't say a word, but his eyes told it all. The pain he had taken away hadn't lessened an ounce, and he was still feeling it. "Ash deserves to be happy. Take care of him, alright?" He asked, almost like he was on the verge of passing out.

"I swear I will." Stardust said, wrapping his arms around Solaris, "And please... if you ever need a rest, I'll be here. I can survive."

There wasn't any response. When Star pulled back, the pupils had faded, and the smile was gone. Ash was back, and he was letting out silent tears.

Stardust remained quiet, pulling Ash down into his arms, nuzzling him lovingly. His magic gently wiping away Ash's tears. "Shh... Shh..." He whispered softly, his voice warm and comforting.

Ash pulled away and slowly stood up. Silently, he walked toward the door.

"Ash..." Stardust mumbled, "W... where are you going?"

"I need to be alone for awhile." Ash said, not even giving a glance back. Those words went against practically his entire character, and it greatly concerned Stardust.

"Ash... please..." Stardust said, slowly standing up, "You..." He stopped, knowing deep down there wasn't really any way to stop Ash. "Please... just... don't do anything to yourself..."

Ash left Star and Pinkie alone. The room grew uncomfortably silent. Stardust let out a quiet sigh, sitting back down on the bed and staring at the floor. He just didn't want to move, or really do anything. His eyes shut and he put his head in his hands.

Pinkie sat down beside him, her smile still there surprisingly. "Hey." She said softly.

Stardust looked up at her, "H... hey." He said quietly.

"I'm not as familiar with what's happening right now, but I can tell he's going through a lot. He might be able to hide it, and not think about it. But when he actually has to face what's wrong..." Pinkie trailed off. Star's gaze met her almost unreal blue eyes, something he'd never really noticed before. "He cares too much about you to hurt himself. He just needs time."

Stardust closed his eyes for a few moments, when he opened them again there was a hint of belief in them. "I... Alright... I guess... I should just go out then too, give him some time alone." He sighed, smiling weakly. For a few moments he couldn't stop staring into her eyes. "Thanks... Pinkie." He grabbed her hand for a moment, standing up slowly.

Pinkie gave his hand a squeeze, standing up and letting her grin explode. "If you ever wanna talk..." Pinkie leaned over and pecked his cheek with her lips. "You always have a friend."

Stardust chuckled, "Thanks." He grinned, about to hug her before he remembered he was completely naked. His face reddened a little bit.

It became clear she had known he was naked the entire time, as when he released the hug, she didn't.

"Maybe we could talk later then? I... I think it'd actually be nice to talk to somepony for once." Stardust offered, "Maybe when I'm actually dressed." He joked.

"Yeah, so let's talk later." Pinkie nodded, still not letting go.

"Um... Pinkie?" He asked uncertainly, though he didn't exactly dislike her continued hug, it did feel nice.

Pinkie put a finger to his lips. "Shhh." She hushed. "No talking." The mare continued to whisper. She had her eyes closed, and a large grin on her face. Stardust could tell she was in her own little world, and he had a feeling that [he was in that world too.

Stardust just sighed, his smile growing as he wrapped his arms around her. He just resigned himself to enjoying holding the warm and comfy mare for a bit longer.

Stardust had finally gotten away from Pinkie, though he did enjoy her company very much. Now he was just wandering around town, trying to find something to do. He was lost in his own little world, only paying enough attention to stay out of other ponies way. "Hmm... what... should I do?" He mused, asking no pony in particular

The sound of snoring stopped him in his tracks. Slowly he looked up and saw a pair legs dangling off the roof of the nearest house.

His intrest being peaked, he decided to investigate. He teleported himself up to the rooftop, he grinned, staring down at the sleeping Pegasus. For a few moments he waited before coughing loudly in an attempt to rouse her.

Rainbow Dash choked on her own tongue and snorted awake, her eyes snapping open. "Whahh?" She droned.

"Whatcha up to?" Stardust mused, smiling down at her, "Must have been pretty boring if you fell asleep on a random roof." He chuckled.

Rainbow blinked slowly and tiredly. "I'm not Pinkie... I don't know everypony in town. So who are you?"

"Stardust." He said, "Though... I believe Rarity told me a bit about you, Rainbow Dash, right?"

Lifting herself up with a flap of her wings, Rainbow cracked her neck. "Sup."

Stardust raised an eyebrow, "Nothing." He shrugged. "What about you?" He crossed his arms, his eyes slowly looking her over.

Rainbow wore a black pair of track shorts, and an equally black sports bra. "No clouds today, so I have the day off." She shrugged.

"Must be pretty boring then." He said, the smile not leaving his face. He thought for a moment, his smile growing a bit. He shifted a little, "Well... um, sorry for bothering you on your day off..." He started, glancing down towards the street below. As he looked back up to her he seemed hopeful for a few moments.

"You want something?" Rainbow questioned with a curious glance.

"Just... um maybe you'd like to go do something with me?" Stardust asked.

"I got nothing better to do than go out with a stalker. What's your name?" Rainbow chuckled.

"I'm Stardust." He introduced himself, again. "So, what do you like to do?" He asked.

"Fly." Dash answered bluntly.

"Well I can tell. I've heard you're an amazing flyer." He chuckled. "Besides that though. I mean if that's the only thing, that's fine. I'd be happy to watch you." He added.

"As generous as I am, and as much as I'd love to treat you to some awesome maneuvers... I'm bored of flying right now. So think of something else." Dash couldn't help but smirk.

" Well I could treat you to lunch. Maybe go to a movie... um, well..." Stardust paused to think for a bit, tapping his chin. "Or, just... hang out? Talk a bit, get to know each other and see where it goes from there?" He offered.

"There some reason you smell like sex?" Rainbow raised an eyebrow.

"Mmm... things. Sex. Lots of it." Stardust shrugged, "Why else would I smell like sex?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Because you're a pervert that likes watching ponies sleep." Dash suggested, making his brows furrow.

"Look. I heard you snoring. I teleported up here and just decided to see what you're doing. If I was a pervert, why would I have woken you up?" He challenged. "I didn't have time to shower, my best friend is... going through something I can't help. And I just... don't know what to do. If you're going to accuse me of things I'll just leave." His voice quivered a little as he spoke, it was clear that he wasn't acting, "I'm just... I don't know anymore." He sighed, turning away from her.

"Hey, hey relax... I'm just screwin' with you." Rainbow's expression went a bit lax. "Was there anything I could help with?" She asked, smiling eagerly. Stardust of course knew she was one of the elements of harmony. When it came down to it, Rainbow was a nice mare. The way she treats Scootaloo says everything about her character, and the whole town knew it.

"Just... want somepony to be friendly with. To forget about things for a while." He sighed, turning back towards her, a weakened smile on his face. "Everything's just... bad today. I... really don't know how to handle it."

Rainbow stepped up to his side and wrapped an arm around him. "Well, you found somepony. Forget what I want, let's do something that'll cheer you up."

He unconsciously pressed a bit against her. "Why don't we... go somewhere a bit better and talk?" He asked, smiling a bit more as he relaxed in her grasp, feeling a bit more at ease now.

"Where to?" Dash grinned at his closeness, tightening her own arm around him.

"Why not the park? It'd be a bit more peaceful and less crowded." Star asked. He felt warm and comforted wrapped in her arm, and it only made his smile grow more, now he seemed to be becoming genuinely happy again.

"Sounds good." Rainbow nodded. The arm wrapped around him slipped under his arm and tightened. She lept off the roof with him, making Stardust cling every limb to her. Dash's wings parachuted their fall at the last second, landing on her feet with a gentle thud. "So, you want me to carry you there or something?" Rainbow raised an eyebrow. The suicidal leap had made him quite literally leap into her arms.

Stardust shook lightly for a few moments, he did surprisingly enjoy being in her arms. "U... uh n-no I'm fine... I can walk..." He mumbled, his face turning a bit red out of embarrassment.

Regardless of his answer, Rainbow started walking toward the park. "So, how's your day been?" She asked, her gaze focusing on the road ahead.

"M... could be... better..." He sighed. "What about yours?"

"Mine just got interesting." Rainbow gave him a wink. The moment he said he was feeling bad, her entire personality changed. Now she was dedicated to making him feel better. He was starting to understand why she was the element of loyalty.

"I'm... glad I could make it interesting." He smiled up at her. "You're... an amazing pony. I'm sure that you get that all the time though." He mumbled.

"Eh, I'm okay." Rainbow shrugged. Her world famous ego seemed nonexistent, bringing Stardust to a stage of utter confusion.

"Just... okay?" He laughed. "Rainbow Dash, you are amazing." He affirmed quietly, "Plain and simple." He wasn't going to let her get away with being humble. If anything he wanted to see her smile now.

And smile she did. "Twilight's right. It's much more fun being humble." Dash smirked. It took a moment for Stardust to realize what he had just done.

He only grinned a little more, "Oh? That's what you were doing?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Just trying to get compliments out of random stallions... my, my." He said, his tone overly joking, clearly even in jest not wanting to harm her, almost as if he enjoyed stroking her ego.

"Just something about random ponies I've never met telling me I'm great." Rainbow's smile for once started to fade. The mare slowed to a stop, seemingly lost in thought.

"Dash?" Stardust asked, reaching up and touching her cheek to draw her attention back. "Are you alright?"

"Uhh yeah..." Rainbow nodded slowly. She set Star back on his feet. "You... mind walking for a bit?"

"Did you want me to carry you now?" He joked, though he was entirely serious in the offer.

Rainbow paid the thought no mind. "Hey, I know you wanted to go somewhere to talk but uh... you mind if we stop somewhere first?"

"Where did you want to stop?" Stardust asked.

Rainbow just motioned him to follow and began walking. After a bit of a walk, Stardust noticed their destination. There was a small clubhouse with a ramp leading up to the door. An orange mare spotted Dash from the window and bolted out the door toward the two. Rainbow lit up, bursting to a sprint as the two practically tackled each other. "Hey Dash!" Scootaloo giggled.

Stardust remained a bit back, smiling a little bit more as he saw the two. He didn't say a word, not wanting to spoil the moment of pure joy the two shared.

Rainbow glanced back at Star and motioned him over. "Scootaloo, this is my new friend Stardust."

"Hi!" Stardust waved at Scootaloo, smiling warmly at her.

"Hey, why don't you head inside. I'll be right up." Rainbow gave Scootaloo's cheek a nuzzle, making the orange mare giggle. Soon, Dash and Star were alone again.

Stardust looked at Dash for a few seconds, "Dash... what brought you here?" He inquired, genuinely curious.

"You did." Rainbow finally turned her attention back to him.

"What?" He asked. "How... did I bring you here?"

"You got me thinking. I've done a lot of stuff for Equestria, and I've done a lot for my friends. And the fact ponies still come up to me who I have never met, and tell me how amazing I am. Then I start thinking about where I was before all of this. I was just a weather pony with an ego. When it boils down to it, I still am." Rainbow sighed.

"Hey, that isn't a bad thing." Stardust started. "Look at how you treated her, that's not ego, that's you genuinely caring about her." His hand gently touching her shoulder. "You are an amazing pony and a hero. Ego or not. How much have you actually done that was purely for yourself?"

"You're missing the point. I'm not here because I'm doubting myself. I'm here because... I'm grateful." Rainbow's eyes returned to the clubhouse. "For everything I have... especially Scootaloo." She finished. Stardust had heard about Rainbow, but didn't really know her. These words, however, was all he needed to hear to know he loved her. "So you know... the least I can do is make sure she's happy."

"Then why don't we make sure she stays that way?" He offered, giving her a small hug. "I'll do anything I can to help you both." He smiled widely.

Rainbow smiled, the faintest hint of a pink filling her cheeks. "Thanks..." She breathed, leaning into him.

Stardust held her for a few moments longer. lightly nuzzling her. "We'll have plenty of time to ourselves later. Why don't we go do something with Scootaloo?" He asked, keeping her in his arms.

Rainbow's face scrunched up. She slithered out of his grasp and forced a frown. "Who the heck are you anyway... makin' me get all mushy." She huffed.

"Oh, wasn't it good?" He teased, "You must be a great actor too. Don't worry though, your secret is safe with me..." He laughed, grinning widely.

Rainbow ground her teeth together, stomping defiantly up the ramp to the clubhouse.

Stardust followed her up, stepping in right behind her. "Alrighty then." He chuckled, leaning against the wall, he looked between Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, his smile up the entire time, bathing the clubhouse in an aura of happiness that just radiated from him. "So, what's up?" He asked Scootaloo, his eyes falling on her now.

Scootaloo stared at Stardust, then Rainbow. Then Star, then Rainbow... with a gasp, Scootaloo stared at him with awe. "Are you and Rainbow together?" Scootaloo gaped at the two.

Rainbow's eye twitched, smacking Scootaloo in the back of the head. "Oww!" Scootaloo cringed. "What'd I do?"

Stardust stood up straight, "Well, I'd assume not by that reaction." He sighed, staring at Dash for a moment. He walked up to Scootaloo now, "Here I thought she was taking me to meet you because she liked me. I guess, she just wanted you to have more friends." He smiled. "Either way, it's wonderful to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too." Scootaloo beamed, one hand on the sore area and extending the other to shake.

Stardust took her hand, and she felt a tingling where he touched her, the soreness instantly vanishing. "So, whatcha do for fun?" He asked, taking his hand away. Shooting a small glance towards Dash, one that was almost disapproving.

Rainbow rolled her eyes and plopped down onto the floor. "Yeah Scoots. I thought you said Sweetie and Applebloom were here?"

Scootaloo shook her head and sat down beside her. "Earlier. I just knew this is the first place you'd look for me." She smiled joyfully at Rainbow.

Dash's entire body slumped at that. She seemed to be going through several emotions. Joy, guilt, sadness. Rainbow wrapped her arms around Scootaloo without a word.

Stardust sat beside them, wrapping his arms around them both, attempting to calm Dash down. His warmth washed over them both, the unicorn bringing a surreal calm and serene feeling to Dash, and his happiness seeming to further infect Scootaloo. "Well... they may not be here, but I know I'm going to be here for you. And hey... if you want a place to stay, I can show you where I live. You're always welcome to come stop by, grab a bite to eat, and just hang out. What's mine is yours." He smiled.

Rainbow and Scootaloo exchanged as long look. The two nodded, grinning from ear to ear and turning their attention to Star. "Sure!" They both agreed. Star didn't expect them to want to go now.

"Um... a-alright." Stardust smiled, slowly standing up. "Just follow me."
