Bragging Rights 2: The Art of Bragging

Part 1

The Prideful Falls were famous for being the biggest in Equestria. Every moment of every minute of every day, countless gallons of water fell a dizzying one thousand feet down into the bottomless basin below; a frothy white rush that had never stopped once in all the thousand years of recorded history. To tourists and natives alike, the fearsome roar of the Prideful Falls was a comforting certainty. Hydras could grumble and Ursa Majors could growl, but nothing - nothing - could ever out-shout this wonder of the world.

But of course, Pride always did come before the Falls…

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

Hoofsteps sounded like thunder, heralded by earthquakes that shook the trees down to their core. Huge, feathered wings commanded the winds, great gusts howling through the forests like Tirek in Tartarus. The skies filled with birds and squirrels skittered for cover.

Or were those pegasi and earth ponies? They all looked about as little to Rainbow Dash now.

“This should be a good place to stop!” she declared to no one in particular. It was hard not to verbalize, for someone her size. She was just so big, so important, that it only made sense to let the world know what she was doing at each and every moment. Like a hurricane watch or a tornado warning, Rainbow Dash’s presence in an area had become news. And this just in, every pony in a dozen miles was now aware that she was at the bottom of the basin!

She chuckled at that thought, but neglected to mention it to her tiny passenger. No doubt Twilight would say her head was swelling bigger by the minute. Rainbow would agree, of course. That’d been the point of the spell Twilight had cast on her earlier that day: to make her head grow to match her enormous ego. It wasn’t her fault that it had made the rest of her grow, too.

And grow, and grow, and grow.

“How’re ya doing, Twi?” Rainbow asked, looking back. She wiggled her rear, silently delighting in the extra-plush padding her growth spurt had put on her flank. A much smaller, more aerodynamic Rainbow Dash might have lamented what the extra bulk would do to her speed... but a much bigger, cuddlier Rainbow Dash could win any race by taking two steps off the starting line. “Am I comfy enough for ya?”

“No!” Twilight Sparkle squeaked in reply. An hour spent stuck to Rainbow Dash’s flank had left her in a very sour mood. Held fast to the blown-up image of Rainbow’s cutie mark, still smelling of her… juices. No matter how soft or squishy or squeezable her ride had been, there was no calling this situation comfortable. “Being stuck to your butt is the last place I want to be at the best of times, and this is more like the worst of times!”

“Reeeally?” The words dripped from Dash’s mouth like honey, a sly grin spreading across her face. “I think you need to appreciate your luck a little more, Twi. Every stallion in Ponyville would kill for a squeeze of this flank, and you’re up close and personal!”

“How lucky I am,” Twilight grumbled… then her eyes went wide. “Rainbow, you didn’t just say that. Tell me you did not just say that!”

“Say what, Twilight?” Rainbow purred innocently. “All I did was tell the truth. This flank is two tons of fun! Must be softer than Pinkie’s by now, too! In fact…” She turned her head about and shot Twilight a wink. “If it was just a teensy weensy bit bigger, I bet even you couldn’t resist sleeping on it!”

All Twilight could do was grit her teeth. It started slowly: the rushing, river-like twinkling of a magical spell coming to life from below, a lavender purple glow climbing slowly up Rainbow Dash’s hooves. Twilight’s whole world was jumbled as her enormous captor shivered in obvious anticipation. A rumbling purr of pleasure filled the air as the glow spread up over her column-like legs…

It took longer and longer for the spell to work its magic on Rainbow’s body, with every inch and every foot she grew. The magic was fueled by her insatiable ego, but even magic could only work so quickly! As her body inched ever higher into the sky, her growth spurts would only last longer, a few moments of blissful high stretching into minutes of sensual decadence.

And Twilight was caught at ground zero. The image of Rainbow Dash’s cutie mark stretched wider and wider around her, her tiny purple form lost amidst a field of cloudy white.

“yeesSSSSSSSSS…” Rainbow’s voice boomed louder. The feeling just kept feeling better, everything about her becoming greater! It almost felt like she was flying, but her hooves were still on the ground! She was only about a quarter the size of the Falls, but her marehood was practically a waterfall by itself now...

The rumbling grew so great that Twilight was able to wrench herself free. She flew off Rainbow’s flank in a sticky, sweaty, flustered mess, trying very hard NOT to think about what she was covered in. Once she was clear, she turned around to give Rainbow a piece of her mind—

“Eep.”

Twilight didn’t know how big Rainbow was anymore. Her height was still climbing as the seconds passed, her glowing, growing body filling Twilight’s entire vision. Trees were being toppled by Rainbow’s ankles as she expanded... and she was gradually creeping back closer to Twilight as she took up more and more space!

Twilight gulped. She tried to think of something, but her mind was still swimming in a haze. The thick, heady scent of Rainbow’s musk was amplified by the moist air of the Falls, staggeringly strong and dizzyingly cloying. All Twilight could think of was how worked up she still was from not getting off—

She slapped herself. Hard.

“Ahhhh…” Rainbow’s voice was thunderous. The magic subsided at last to put her at a size that she could use the Basin’s deep waters like a bathtub. “I gotta say Twi, this is the best blunder you’ve ever had!”

Twilight growled. She flapped her wings hard to fly up and around to Rainbow’s now even larger face. She cast a voice spell on herself and bellowed as loud as she could.

“RAINBOW DASH!”

Rainbow brightened. “Oh, good thinking! I can actually hear you over the Falls now.”

Twilight was nearly blown off course by the force of Rainbow’s exhales. She quickly flew a few dozen feet higher. “Are you ever going to stop this?!”

Rainbow snickered. “Depends. Gonna zap me again?”

Twilight gave her a flat look. Or maybe she didn’t. It was hard for Rainbow to tell expressions anymore.

“I’ll take that as a no.” Rainbow yawned and stretched her wings, her feathers the size of trees. “Congratulations, that might be the smartest thing you’ve done today!”

“This has gotten out of hoof!” Twilight shouted. “You’re going to do real damage if you don’t stop! Please! Let me find a counterspell!”

Rainbow lazily tapped her chin. “Well see, I would… but I don’t think you’ve learned your lesson yet.”

“MY lesson?!” Twilight threw up her hooves. “Oh, for pony’s sake... look, I’m sorry I cast a spell on you, okay?! I was just trying to teach you some humility! Heaven knows you could use some!”

Rainbow sighed. “Y’know, for a super-smart egghead, you can be really dense sometimes. You still haven’t caught on, have you?”

Twilight’s patience was wearing thin. “You had over a dozen pegasi back in town preen you, I’m still covered in your—y-your effluence, and and I’m suddenly supposed to believe you have a deeper reason?! You’re just addicted to how good it feels!”

Rainbow gave her a patient look. “Then why am I not bragging nonstop, Miss Smarty Pants?”

Twilight stared at her.

Rainbow stared back.

The only sound between them the rustling of the wind and the crashing of the Falls.

“Twilight,” Rainbow said. “We need to talk.”

Of all the things Twilight expected to hear, that wasn’t one of them. “What.”

“We. Need. To. Talk.” Rainbow eased her massive rump onto the beach with a tremendous THUD. A fifteen foot-high sand cloud flew up in all directions like a grainy tsunami. “You and me, mare to mare, buddy to buddy.”

Twilight still wasn’t sure she’d heard that right. “You used those ponies like servants, abused the spell to grow this big, and humiliated me by sticking me to your flank… so we could TALK?!”

Rainbow chuckled. “You’re the one who took things a step further. I was gonna stop back in town, but you zapped me a s-second time and threw down a challenge.”

Sparks of magic jetted off Twilight’s horn. A tight feeling clawed at her insides and throat, raw and unfocused. Her face twisted into a vicious scowl that made her whole head shake.

“You’ve been a mess ever since you got those wings,” Rainbow continued. “Boss, boss, boss. Nag, nag, nag. Worry, worry, worry. You’ve been freaking out over every little thing just like back when you came to Ponyville! It’s like you went backwards in time!”

Twilight fought the urge to scream. “Rainbow, you have no idea how much responsibility I have now! I have to live up to the standards of the other princesses, and if I don’t—”

"—it could affect all of Equestria, end the world as we know it, break reality or whatever, blah, blah, blah.” Rainbow rolled her eyes. “You work yourself up into a panic over nothing, assume the worst, then start doing crazy things to fix it! You really are your own worst enemy, you know that?”

Twilight wanted to retort out of sheer spite, but try as she might, she couldn’t form the words.

“I dunno when or how, but somehow, you lost your confidence along the way.” Rainbow’s huge eyes got a steely glint. “I’m not gonna sit by while you have a nervous breakdown, got it? No more control freak, no more snarky fits, no more shutting others out. Whether you like it or not, I’m gonna fix your craziness here and now.”

Twilight glowered and crossed her hooves. “Rainbow, the only thing that’s keeping me from teleporting right now is the thought of what you’ll do by yourself while I’m gone. Hate to burst your bubble, but you can’t make me do anything I don’t want.”

Rainbow yawned, her mouth like a bottomless black pit. “If you could teleport, you’d have unstuck yourself f-from my butt back in Ponyville. What’sa matter, Twi? Too horny to focus?”

...crud.

It was actually worse than Rainbow had guessed. Twilight’s marehood was dripping, her tail flagging, her crotch utterly soaked. There was a hungering, pulsing ache clawing at her belly, further fueled by the problem of still drowning in Rainbow’s scent. It clung to Twilight’s coat, it lingered on her tongue, it filled her lungs every time she time took a breath. It was like a moist, sweltering fog clouding her thoughts...

...and Twilight could tell it was getting stronger. Not only that, but Rainbow’s voice had a slight tremor that kept slipping out now and then, her pink, fleshy tongue darting out to lick her lips. Her fully-splayed wings cast long shadows over the forest and river, painfully stiff and twitching like mad. Her mighty tail was flicking, pony-sized drops of mare honey fell from her cavernous cunny to plummet over a hundred feet onto the beach.

Twilight slumped and hung her head. Her own worst enemy, indeed. “Fine... I’ll humor you for now.”

“Yesssss!” Rainbow pumped her hoof with a WUMPH of air. “Gotcha now, girl! No poofing away! Time to face the music!”

Twilight only hoped she didn’t regret this. “Let’s assume that you’re right and I really have been some kind of neurotic nutjob lately. How do you plan to ‘fix’ me?”

Rainbow didn’t miss a beat. “Easy-peasy! Y’know the bragging spell you cast on me? Just cast it on yourself and have fun with it!”

…

…

...

“...Excuse me?” Twilight said.

“C’mon, I didn’t stutter there,” said Rainbow. “Cast it the same way you did on me, then—”

“WHY IN EQUESTRIA WOULD I DO THAT?!” Twilight burst out. “LOOK AT WHAT IT’S DONE TO YOU!”

The shout was so loud it made far off birds fly away, but Rainbow just laughed. “Riddle me this, Twi. When was the last time you looked back, reallllllly looked back, and r-realized how much you have under your belt? Have you even considered that maybe, just maybe, you deserve the things you have? The praise you get?”

“..."

“I swear, it’s like you’re afraid to be proud of yourself!” Rainbow tsked and shook her head. “Lemme let you in on a little secret—d’you know what happens when you focus on the doom and gloom all the time? It gets to you! Shocker, I know—”

“Enough,” Twilight snapped. “Not that I don’t love you pointing out my faults, but what does this have to do with the Ego spell?”

“Everything!” Rainbow threw up her hooves. “Don’t you see? You’re one of the most awesome ponies who ever lived! If you’d just stop doubting yourself for two seconds—”

“I said ENOUGH.” Twilight’s tone turned frosty. “You want me to cast the Ego spell on myself to... accomplish what, exactly?”

Rainbow leaned even closer, her titanic muzzle now only a few feet from Twilight. “I know you, Twi. Realizing how awesome you are feels good, but to snap you out of your funk, you need to feel GOOOOOOOD.”

Twilight could see now. “You’re hoping that the positive feedback loop will give me additional incentive to pander to my own ego, thus lessening and/or eliminating my feelings of self-doubt and neuroticism.”

Rainbow huge eyes spun in a dizzying roll. “Of course you find a way to make it sound boring.”

Twilight couldn’t believe she had to explain this. “You’re forgetting one minor detail. You know, the whole GROWING BIGGER thing?! Look at you! You’re… y-y-you’re immense! You want me to grow to the same size as you?! Think of the damage we might do!”

Rainbow shrugged. “So what if we make some waves and knock down a few trees? Better than you going nutso and becoming Nightmare Sparkle or whatever.”

“But we—”

“Everypony believes in you,” Rainbow said. “But none of that matters if you don’t believe in yourself. I know this is just the pick-me-up you need, but seeing as you’re in a rut—heh, and also in sore need of one—”

“Look who’s talking, Miss Waterfall-Between-Her-Legs.”

“—I figure this is the best way to help with both!” Rainbow said. “Consider this your own private seminar getaway-thing! Awesomeness 101, and I’m your teacher, Miss Rainbow Dash! Today, I’m going to teach you all about the fine art of bragging!”

…

…

...

“You,” Twilight said slowly. “Want to teach me... how to brag.”

“Teach, coach, whatever.” Rainbow grinned. “C’monnnnn, this is your chance to improve. Doesn’t Twilight Sparkle like learning?”

She may as well have been offering a drug to an addict. It was painful to watch as Twilight's face soon went red, her mind filling with sticky black tar.

Rainbow fought the urge to laugh. At this rate, Twilight was gonna be back to her old self in no time—

“I can’t,” Twilight spat through clenched teeth. “I’m sorry, but… I just C-CAN’T! I appreciate... the offer, but th-that isn’t something I want… to l-learn.”

Damn it all, Sparkle.

“Twilight.” Rainbow’s voice went soft. “This is me, your friend, telling you that you’ve been letting dumb things change—”

“I GET IT!” Twilight landed atop Rainbow’s muzzle, glaring into one of her immense eyes. “I get what you’re trying to say, okay?! But I can’t build myself up like that, I just can’t! I have to keep myself grounded if I’m going to shoulder all this responsibility—”

Rainbow blinked, her eyelid swooping down in front of Twilight before rising up like a the world’s biggest window shade. “There’s that word again. Responsibility this, responsibility that. That’s really all you can see, isn’t it?”

Again, Twilight didn’t reply, but her silence spoke volumes.

“Well, your loss, I suppose.” Rainbow looked off towards the distance. “Guess I’ll just have to let you rip yourself apart! Ah, well… and here I was all looking forward to helping you.”

A hole formed in Twilight’s gut. “Rainbow…?”

“Meh, I bet you wouldn’t be able to handle how g-good it feels, anyways.” A tingling tremor raced through Rainbow. “Certainly not like I can, at least. Even with it feeling better every time, I just keeping wanting more! You don’t even know how awesome of a teacher I’d be! I’m practically the Queen of Bragging!”

Oh, no.

The rush of magic sparked to life like a mystical stream. Rainbow moaned as it crept over her at a deliciously slow pace that vibrated inside her. Her hoof wandered to her slick nethers to coax along the urge, her hind legs sliding out into the river along and scraaaaaaaping off a chunk of the beach. It took even longer for the magic to envelop her this time, but once it did...

“Oh, yes…” Rainbow murmured. “YES!”

She was teasing and stroking her marehood in fast strokes, fiery coils squeezed tight in her belly alongside the tantalizing magic. Every second she’d been talking with Twilight it’d been building, and at last she was able to give in. Every inch of her was expanding—her head rising higher into the air, her colorful tail snaking deeper into the forest, her rear legs spreading farther into the river, her wings stretching out farther and farther—

“OKAY!” Twilight yelled over the noise. “I’LL CAST THE SPELL! Jeez, louise...”

It was fortunate that the spell was far to cast than easier than teleporting. Twilight even managed to get it going despite the distraction of the hairs of Rainbow’s coat rising up to her shoulders. Twilight fired it at herself once ready, the incantation hitting her with a jolt.

“!!!” White-hot lightning lanced through Twilight. Her tail flew up, senses hurtled past the point of no return, her tunnel clamping down HARD. Bombs went off in her frazzled mind, the peak not coming in waves, but tsunamis.

Rainbow moist schlicks of fetlock-on-privates could be heard even over the crashing of the Falls. Her face was flush, eyes half-lidded and fluttery, colossal wings throbbing in time with her heart. Foot after foot she claimed, rubbing faster as it felt better, yet she still wanted to be bigger… BIGGER! Her juices drenched what was left of the beach as her cushy rump brushed against the trees on the forest’s edge… only to topple them under a spreading wall of pegasus butt.

Twilight sagged to her knees. She stared at nothing, drunk on an endorphin cocktail. Where before her head was hazy, she now felt floaty in the best way. The air around her was still heavy with the smell of Rainbow, but Twilight didn’t care. All that was going through her mind was a single word.

Again...

“YES!” Rainbow shouted so loud the Falls jittered. A gush of marecum spashed out around her soaked hoof to wash away even more the beach in a torrent of sex. The shallows became saturated with her juices flowing out like waves at high tide, each wave higher as she continued to grow. Her thrashing tail toppled trees in a deafening series of snaps and smashes, prismatic hairs thick as vines whipping to and fro.

The echoing shout snapped Twilight out of it. She had a split second of clear thought… before all the misgivings and fears came crashing back. Past experiences, one after the other, all trying to teach the one lesson Twilight just couldn’t get the hang of. Did she really want to go through this song and dance again?

Well, considering the veritable grassfield of blue fur around her...

“We’ll try things your way, Dash,” Twilight muttered. “I just hope you know what you’re doing.”

Rainbow sighed dreamily as her latest growth ended. She took a moment to examine her now-smaller surroundings before replying. “I knew you’d come around.” Her voice was louder and more powerful than ever. “Okay, hop off and land down on the beach. I wanna see you do this.”

Grumbling, Twilight obeyed. She flew off of Rainbow and glided down towards the far end of the beach.

“I cast the spell already,” Twilight said as she turned. “It should be in full…”

Sweet Celestia, that was a big Rainbow.

Even as far away as she’d flown, Twilight still couldn’t get all of her in view. Rainbow’s legs were sequoias that stretched up towards the sky, her barrel alone bigger than Cloudsdale’s weather factory. Her rose-colored eyes were each bigger than houses, and Twilight betted that If Rainbow stood at the base of the Falls and reared, she could almost touch the very top of the cliff with her hooves. With said hooves now each wider than an entire street!

It took Rainbow a second to locate the teeny purple dot below. She nearly laughed as she realized all ponies were that small now. “Let’s get started, then. You ready to feel awesome?”

Twilight may as well not have gotten off at all. That familiar insistence, that tensing need roared back and swept all other thoughts aside. Twilight didn’t even notice her hoof wandering to her loins, her cunny clenching with haywire magic.

“Y-You...” Twilight wet her dry lips. “You got... quite a bit bigger...”

Rainbow grinned. “Yuh-huh. Get ready to take notes, because class is in session!”

The heat of Rainbow’s body combined with the waterfall’s spray was like a sauna. Not only was Rainbow’s humongous sexy body was all Twilight could see, it was all Twilight could smell[, the wind was blowing the thick smell of pegasus need in her face. Rainbow’s curves stretched out in every direction like sky blue hills topped by a cascade of color, and the only thing that overshadowed her were the Falls themselves.

But even they were starting to look less impressive...

Twilight swallowed hard. “T-Teach away...”
