The Zebra Conspiracy

“And that…” Shining Armor concluded as he closed the cover on his book, “is exactly what will happen if you decide to make our marriage an open one and include a zebra in it.”

Cadance, his wife, for now, stared at her husband from their bed with a look of humored unamusement. “Really now?” she asked with a raised brow. “So a group of zebras are going to make me forget about my wedding vows with their magical penises, kidnap all us girls over to their country, steal our cutie marks, use us as sex slaves and breeding stock, all while you guys are sent to some dark mine to live out your lives doing physical labor?”

Shining Armor briefly skimmed the pages of his book again as if reviewing his own source material. “Yep,” he answered simply. “Nopony ever thinks it’s going to happen… that’s why it happens.”

“Shining…” Cadance huffed, scooting over to her husband on the bed and wrapping an arm around him to console him. “I love that you went through so much… strange… effort to make your argument on this, but it wasn’t a male zebra I was thinking of having an open marriage with… it was a female. A cultural exchange student from their land.”

“R-really?” Shining asked, now the one with the raised brow. The book in his lap tilting upwards slightly.

“I would have a fun, no strings attached, night with her…” Cadance continued, “ that you could even watch, if you would like, maybe join in if she’s into guys. And, in exchange for that night, you could have a night with Twi-”

“Don’t say it!” Shining quickly shot in.

“I mean… *ahem* any purple pony you so decided on picking… that I could watch...” Cadance mumbled under her breath. “And maybe join in. Fair is fair. Besides… zebra stallions being ‘gifted’ downstairs is just a dumb stereotype. On average, a zebra is actually smaller than ponies. That’s not going to seduce me away from you very easily now.”

“Well, yeah, I know that,” Shining chuckled, “but I explain in the sequel that the zebras have been using their potions to enhance their size and other sexual characteristics in their favor. Ponies actually are the better lovers when they take that potion and start to fight back against the zebras.”

“And you had me acting pretty absent minded in it to. Like... I’m never allowed to be alone with any creature from a foreign land like that. No matter how much I trusted him. My own royal guard would kill me for doing that if the zebra didn’t.”

“I know, but the zebras had you take another potion that must’ve made you absent minded like that! It’s actually really hard finding realistic ways thousands of mares are talked out of their clothing and into bed with some random guys without resorting to rape or mind control potions.”

“Seems like these 'zebras' have potions that do whatever you want them to...” Cadance said with squinted eyes.

“Ponies have their magic and zebras have their potions. Fair is fair,” Shining Armor repeated and insisted.

“Mmmm, well, tell me what else did the zebras decide on doing to us poor, innocent, helpless mares once they had us firmly in their clutches without our stallions there to protect us…” Cadance cooed, snuggling up closer to her husband. “I kind of would like to see how the ponies are going to dig their way out of this one now in some perverted sexual fashion. And I really wanted to see where that thing with Rumble was headed.”

“Really now?! You liked it?” Shining asked with a smile.

“It’s kind of a turn on,” Cadance giggled. “Vanilla stuff gets boring after a while. Fetish material is like a breath of perverted fresh air. But, I am the Princess of Love so more things than not end up turning me on. Still, you might consider publishing your little work of fiction to see if any of your guy friends like it! Under a pen name with our names changed that is. And tone it down a bit so we don’t start another race war...”

“Stallions liking a tale about a stallion being cuckolded from his wife?” Shining pondered. “I don’t know. Sounds like they would have to be some real weirdos to be into this…”
