Vision Swirl watched from the entrance of her tent as Twilight Sparkle hurried back in the direction of the town library, her deeply confused dragon in tow. She’d glanced back for a moment to lock eyes with the fortune teller, the purple unicorn’s face still burning bright red.

Their sudden visit had certainly been a surprise one. A potentially very costly visit if Vision hadn’t sensed their arrival coming just a few moments beforehand. With any luck, hinting at the mare’s newly kindled feelings for her dragon would surely cloud the mare’s mind from any suspicions she might have had.

The fortune-teller continued to observe the retreating pair until they disappeared around the corner of another shop at the edge of the market. The moment they were out of sight, Vision felt her warm welcoming smile fade. She sighed and gazed upwards at the new night sky.

Turning back, she flicked the tent flaps closed behind herself and strode to the center table where they’d been sitting. She picked up the crystal ball off its stand, immediately cutting off the flow of purple smoke from its base. Vision’s ear twitched as she heard a slight shuffling sound from the right side of the room. Turning her head, she rolled her eyes and grumbled quietly under her breath before begrudgingly calling out to the owner of the rather obvious pair of paws poking through along the bottom of the tent’s walls.

"They're gone now, my lord, you can come out.” She droned, inspecting the sphere in her hands closely.

"Finally! It was about time you got those two out of here!” A coarse voice grumbled as a broad figure emerged from the same hidden side room she’d greeted their unexpected guests from earlier. “I thought you said you pony types stay home after dark!”

“Well, we normally do, my lord, but it seems like two of the new element holders apparently disagreed.” Vision replied absentmindedly, touching the smooth surface of her well-polished crystal orb to her horn. There was a brief flicker of light as energy passed into the object. “Just be thankful I was able to sense them approaching before they had a chance to see you. The last thing you need right now is the Princess’s protege or even just her dragon learning of your existence here. No doubt word would spread to Celestia one way or another eventually...”

Turning around and leaning back against the rim of the table while reaching back to place her ball back on its stand, Vision met eyes with her 'lord'. Standing a little under a head shorter than herself, the fat brown-feathered griffin tapped his claws impatiently around the withered shaft of his curly wooden cane. His two beady brown eyes glared back at her as he brushed nonexistent dust off his shoulders. He didn’t seem particularly satisfied.

“Hmph! Well, perhaps they wouldn’t have even had the chance to if you spent more of your time focused on your task." He huffed, snobbishly straightening the tie of his painfully bright white tuxedo and turning up his beak. “As things currently stand, I still fail to see what possible benefit comes with you using your witchcraft on all these village peasants all day long. It would have been much safer to have remained outside of town while we are here.”

“It’s not something I’d expect someone like you to understand, ‘Lord’ Diappiere.” Vision snapped back, mocking the Prench accented griffin’s high and mighty attitude as he struck a sensitive nerve in the mare. At the sound of his name, Diappiere growled, gripping his cane tightly.

“You best watch your tongue, unicorn!” He roared back sharply. “You’ll address me only as I have instructed you too and nothing more! Do not forget your rightful place beneath a proper and civilized creature like myself, pony! Remember! Should I come to believe that this ‘grand plan’ you’ve proposed is utterly doomed to fail, I will not hesitate to send you and your sister back to that dump you two came from!”

Vision felt her jaw tense as a seething hatred for the griffin bubbled up inside her. She could feel her magic instinctively building in her horn as she was tempted to act on her anger. But before it could get out of control, the mare closed her eyes and exhaled slowly, the heat in her horn gradually defusing.

‘Not yet Vision, not yet.’

Regaining her composure after a few moments, she finally opened her eyes again. Unfortunately, it didn’t make the submissive words she returned the griffin any less painful to deliver.

“Y-yes, of course. My greatest apologies, my lord...”

The peaceful chirping of crickets echoed through the open air as the night sky above Ponyville was alight with a brilliant web of twinkling stars. The insects’ constant chirping eventually made its way through the open window of a quiet little cottage near the edge of town. Sweeping past the many sleeping critters that lay within it, the sound found it’s way into the ears of a young yellow mare sitting upright in her bed.

Glancing in the direction of her bedroom window, Fluttershy let out a long and tired yawn. The pegasus was sitting snugly in her bed, embraced by a dozen soft fuzzy blankets and several fluffy pillows that were all wrapped around her. Many of her furry woodland friends dotted the rest of the mattress, all sleeping soundly. Among them, one small white ball of fluff was curled up on top of his special pink pillow. The rabbit's long droopy ears lay flat against either side of his head as he slept silently as well.

Barely still visible out the window, the moon reached up towards the center of the sky as the opposing horizon lost the last whisps of colorful sunset hues. Bright and round, and with only the briefest sliver of darkness shadowing its rightmost half, the moon certainly looked very different than what the pegasus was used to. The characteristic 'mare in the moon' she’d come to expect all her life was gone, having vanished without a trace as if it had never really been there in the first place.

Until today, Fluttershy never really gave the pony-shaped formation all that much thought, but now, it was all she could think about. Never once in a million years would she have guessed that an actual pony had been behind it all this time. She couldn't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be trapped up there in the sky, so far from home, for over a thousand long and no doubt lonely years of complete isolation.

Fluttershy grabbed one of the few unused pillows left and hugged it close to her chest. She could still hardly believe that the last forty-eight hours or so had actually happened. A shiver ran down the mare’s spine as she remembered Nightmare Moon's initial appearance at the town hall.

One moment, she’d been nervously orchestrating her bird choir to an audience for the very first time, and seemingly the next, she and a bunch of mostly strangers were getting separated and lost in a dark almost certainly haunted castle. Even now, she wasn't sure how she'd been able to keep it together through it all...

Hugging her pillow a little tighter, Fluttershy felt a small solid object pressing up against her bosom. Letting the pillow fall forward, she gazed down at the butterfly-shaped gemstone dangling down around her neck. A little hesitantly at first, she reached down and fished it from where it’d disappeared into her cleavage. It seemed so inconspicuous upon first glance; as if it were nothing more than a cute piece of jewelry. But she knew first hand what it was really capable of.

Princess Celestia had insisted that they all hold onto them for now, so she was going to do just that. Even so, Fluttershy hoped the princess would be coming back for them sooner rather than later. The idea that something so powerful was just casually hanging from her neck didn't sit very well in the anxiety-prone mare’s stomach. Though, would it even be safe to take it off?

She could still vividly remember the immense warmth and indescribable serenity that filled her body as she and the others rose up into the air. It had been as if all her worries, anxieties, and slightest concerns were all washed away in an instant, being replaced by a level of determination and courage she'd never felt before in her entire life.

Much of what actually happened after they’d all started floating was gone from her mind, however. The next thing she could remember was the splitting headache that followed and the news that she and the others had apparently blasted Nightmare Moon with the Elements Of Harmony.

Wrapping her arms around her knees and hugging them to her chest, Fluttershy wondered what would happen now. Though she was glad to have been able to remove the evil ‘thing’ that had evidently been possessing the Princess's long lost sister, she really hoped everything would just go back to normal...

A few more minutes went by before finally, a distraction tore Fluttershy from her worried thoughts. Loud enough to overcome the ambient croaking of frogs in the creek in front of her cottage, her stomach made a noisy grumble. This subtle tremor quickly gave way to a familiar feeling of discomfort that rapidly strengthened within her gut.

"Ah, thank goodness~," Fluttershy sighed softly, deeply thankful for the distraction.

Carefully unraveling the shroud of blankets wrapped tightly around her body, the mare slowly and quietly stood up out of bed, being extra careful as to not accidentally wake up Angel Bunny or any of the other sleeping animals in the room. Standing tall beside her bed, the last of the blankets fell away, revealing Fluttershy's full nudity.

As cool night air continued to flow in through the open window, her two huge breasts sat prominently atop her chest, with both perky pink nipples slowly stiffening from the breeze. Visibly rising and falling with each of her steady breaths, Fluttershy made no effort to conceal her nakedness. It wasn't until a miniature gust of wind passed between her thighs, tickling the underside of her butt cheeks and grazing her sensitive slit that Fluttershy felt a subtle warmth rising on her face.

There was something Fluttershy found so appealing about sleeping in the nude alongside all her animal friends. Perhaps it was how natural it felt, enabling her to feel even closer to mother nature itself? Of course, a mare her age choosing to sleep without at least a pair of panties on came with... certain risks.

After hitting eighteen, the onset of her body's weakened bladder and bowel control had certainly caused quite a few problems for her favorite nighttime hobby. Merely wetting the bed was one thing, a quick wash of the sheets the following morning could usually fix that. The other kind of accident, however, proved to be a much bigger hurdle.

Having had yet to move out when the change first developed, she'd forced herself to wear underwear to reduce the damage her midnight bowel movements tended to cause. After being forced to throw away many of her favorite blankets and pillows that had all been irreparably ruined, it was really the only choice.

Thankfully, by the time she did finally moved out, Fluttershy had gained a somewhat better handle on her body's... 'schedule'. It was tricky at first, resulting in many more accidents and consequently more trashed bedding during the first few months of living in her new home. Nowadays though, she was able to freely resume her favorite hobby with little worry, so long as she didn’t forget. That was why she was still awake this late after all.

An impatient prodding at the interior of her anus pulled Fluttershy back to the present, reminding the mare that she was getting increasingly desperate to go with each passing moment. She was due for a movement, and a big one at that. Tip-toeing quietly out of her bedroom, she made her way down the short hallway towards the stairs before turning into an open bathroom door. Once this was out of her system, she'd be good to go for the rest of the night.

Yet, upon entering the bathroom and spotting the toilet off in the far corner, Fluttershy suddenly stopped short in the open doorway. Biting her bottom lip, she couldn’t help but recall the faint-inducing experience that had taken place between herself and Rarity back at the castle. She could still quite vividly remember the three or four fat and creamy looking logs of poop that had dropped from between the oblivious fashionista’s thighs. At the time, Fluttershy hardly even realized that she had been flooding her thong with piss at the same time. Though once she did, the whole situation had quickly become too much for her to handle.

Nibbling on her lip indecisively, Fluttershy blushed a she felt her wings stiffening. Recognizing her body’s familiar signals, she made an abrupt decision. Turning away from the bathroom, she leaped from the top step of the stairs leading down to the first floor. Extending her wings, she gently glided into her living room, touching down softly on the wooden floorboards.

*Prrrrpt!*

Fluttershy’s face quickly flushed red as she was unable to prevent a quick whisper of gas from slipping out through her strained anus. Thankfully it hadn't been loud enough to wake any of the cute woodland critters residing in the living room, but it was a sure sign that her bowels were growing impatient. Not possessing the greatest ability to ‘hold it in’ compared to most ponies she knew, she’d have to do this quickly before it was too late.

Sneaking quietly into her small kitchen, she glanced briefly out the back window to the dimly lit space behind her cottage. The mare’s large breasts jiggled and bounced while her hips twisted as she squirmed in place and scanned for her target. Reaching up and opening a tiny hidden cabinet above the fridge, she gently eased open the creaky compartment. Standing on her toes, her other hand retrieved a small plastic bottle from the top-most shelf. Turning it over in her hand, she read the markered-on label.

‘Pinkie’s Party Brew’

Feeling a sense of gitty excitement take root within her, Fluttershy quickly unscrewed the bottle’s plastic cap, placing it on the counter. She leaned in and sniffed the sweet-smelling fruit punch sloshing around inside it. Too eager to restrain herself any longer, she tilted her head back and shoved the top of the bottle between her pursed lips as she proceeded to guzzle down the entire thing in a matter of moments.

Gasping as she finally drained the last few drops and broke away from the now slightly shriveled bottle, Fluttershy could already feel her belly starting to churn. At the same time, her crotch had begun to feel hot and sticky as her pussy quivered with anticipation as if knowing exactly what she’d just done to herself.

Suddenly, a tight cramp seized the mare’s abdomen, causing her to drop the bottle and clutch at her twisting insides as her body groaned and grumbled. Fluttershy scrambled towards the back door of her cottage, throwing it open as the naked mare burst out into her secluded backyard.

The pressure in her bowels was rising rapidly as Pinkie’s special concoction began to take effect. Stumbling a few feet from the door, she was eventually forced to come to a stop as a second cramp roared to life.

*Pffrrrpraap!*

A second much more bubbly fart ripped from her tensed ass cheeks as her knees trembled.

“I-i c-can’t hold it much longer!” Fluttershy stammered desperately, her whole body shuddering as she took a few more hobbling steps away from her house and into a more open spot not far from her chicken coup.

Though she knew there was not another pony around for miles, she couldn’t help but imagine somepony watching her from a distance, knowing full well what was afflicting her and that she’d done it completely on purpose. Fluttershy’s pussy was feeling hotter and hotter by the second as it actively dripped with her intense arousal. A few sticky strings of transparent fluid were already trailing down the inside of her quivering thighs. The mare’s pucker asshole bulged repeatedly as it struggled to hold back the immense buildup of waste pressing up against it from within.

“I-i can’t! I-im going to h-have a-” She gasped, panting for breath as her resolve slowly started to crumble and her mind became increasingly clouded by desire.

*Frrrptch~!*

Fluttershy’s tail rose into the air as her anus widened of its own accord, bringing forth a surge of hot diarrhea that shot down into the soil just behind her.

“Ah~!” She winced, the brown liquid burning her quivering asshole as it the dam of resistance finally shattered.

*Frrrrpfchk!!!*

What felt like an entire week's worth of brown sludgy shit violently erupted from the pegasus’s plump bottom, splattering down on the ground and quickly coating the back of her legs.

All semblance of control now lost, Fluttershy’s hands found themselves sliding down from her where they’d been wrapped around her stomach as both dug down into the depts of her throbbing pussy. Thrusting as many fingers inside as could be fit at once, she let out a moan of pure ecstasy. All the while, soft and sticky chunks of mostly liquid shit continued to fly from her rear, eventually covering the interior of her ass cheeks with a thick layer of filth as more and more kept coming.

Legs buckling as her bowels continued to violently empty themselves, Fluttershy finally fell to her knees. She gasped every time her asshole was forced to stretch and shrink over and over again as slightly more solid turds rushed through it. It wasn’t long before the mare’s entire body was rocked by an intense orgasm, causing her to cry out into the night sky for all to hear. Biting her bottom lip hard enough to almost draw blood, she rode the pleasure high for as long as she could, her finger’s movements never once slowing as her first climax soon became a second, and then a third.

After what felt like ages, the flow of shit from her punished anus began to ease, gradually slowing to a steady drip as Fluttershy came for a fourth and final time. Her whole body spasmed and shook as an expression of pure bliss portrayed the immense relief and pleasure she was feeling. After almost a full minute, she finally went limp and collapsed over onto her side on the ground.

With the noisy sounds of her evacuating excrement now gone, she could once again hear the pleasant chirps of crickets and the deep croaking of frogs from the woods all around her. Eyelashes fluttering, she struggled vainly to fight the calm darkness closing in around her vision as the messy pegasus began to slowly drift off to sleep, utterly exhausted and deeply satisfied...

High up from a now open window of her bedroom, a clearly irritated rabbit glared down at his owner and the mushy puddle of shit she was sleeping in. Rolling his eyes and pinching his fuzzy pink nose, he hopped back into bed, more than happy to take her warm spot on the bed since she clearly wasn’t going to be using it tonight...

“...and then... well, I guess that’s basically it, I think." Spike finished, reclining back in his chair as Twilight continued to scribble furiously in her notes. “After that, I was pretty much just waiting for you to wake up so I decided to start cleaning things up down here.”

The two of them had been sitting at either end of the tiny round table on the first floor of the library for almost an hour now. All the while he had been recounting the events that transpired following Twilight’s loss of consciousness back at the castle. She'd stopped him with a question or two every now and then, but otherwise, the mare remained mostly silent as she focused on her notes.

He still wasn't sure why exactly she’d decided that they needed to return to the library so abruptly, but at least he'd gotten a couple of small sandwiches to eat while at that nice fortune teller's tent. He’d been meaning to ask her about it, but so far, there hadn’t really been a good moment amongst his recounting of events.

“So, hold on...” Twilight began, still staring down at her notes. “Princess Celestia never said what we were supposed to do with the Elements Of Harmony?!" Twilight asked, looking somewhat appalled as she glanced anxiously up at the small white orb dangling from his neck.

“Not really?” He sighed. “I mean, she did tell us that some kind of explanation would be coming soon, though I guess she didn’t really say when that would be. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about though. I bet the princess is gonna send you a letter about it or something in the morning. She’s probably just busy catching up with her sister... or something along those lines anyway..."

“Busy... right...” Twilight mumbled, a slight blush rising on her cheeks as she stared off into space.

Noticing the odd look on her face, he reached out and nudged her shoulder. “Uh, Twilight?”

“Oh! Wait a minute!” She suddenly gasped, face lighting up. “I totally forgot! I had a dream!”

Spike raised an eyebrow. “A dream? What was it about?” He asked, curious why a dream was such a big deal.

“Oh well, uh, I was standing outside of this weird bathroom place for most of it, but Lun- er, Princess Luna was there too!”

“Wait, Princess Luna?”

“Princess Celestia’s little sister! She visited me in my dream!” Twilight said excitedly, smacking her own forehead for forgetting as she levitated over a few new spare sheets of notepaper to document everything she could remember. “I can’t believe I let that slip my mind!”

“Wait, hold on a second. What do you mean she visited you in your dream? Are you sure it wasn’t just-”

“Yes! I’m certain of it!” Twilight interrupted. “Well, I guess she did look a little different, but I’m pretty sure that it was really her.”

“Like, for real?” Spike said, a bit shocked. “Is there really a spell that can let you just... do that?”

“Not that I know of, but I’m sure there must be one! After all, Luna was trapped on the moon for over a thousand years Spike! Who knows what kind of ancient magic she knows from back then!”

Spike gulped as he saw a familiar scary sparkle in the unicorn’s eyes. Something told him that ‘Princess Luna’ was going to be getting quite a few inquisitive letters in the near future.

“Alrighty then... Well, uh, if that’s all you need from me right now Twilight, I think I’m gonna see If I can’t get any more sleep before morning. It’s already pretty late and I wanna try to keep some of my sleep schedule intact. You should probably do the same in a bit, we both remember what happened the last time you tried going ‘nocturnal’ mode.”

“Heh... r-right.” Twilight chuckled sheepishly, still not actually looking up at him as he got up and waltzed over towards the stairs...

Twilight’s fingernails tapped with increasing rapidity as she watched Spike slowly disappear up the steps until finally, she heard the second-floor door swing shut behind him.

“Gah!” She gasped, suddenly panting as if she’d been holding her breath while her face quickly flushed red. “Sweet Celestia, I can’t do this!” She whined, running her fingers through her mane as she gripped her skull.

Her heart had been beating what felt like a million times a second ever since they got home from that stupid fortune teller’s ‘shanty hut’ thing. It was almost a miracle that she’d been able to keep herself from glowing like a tomato as she listened to Spike’s story.

‘His firey spirit will indeed accept you~.’

The seer’s voice was constantly echoing in her mind, over and over like a looping record player.

“Why the hell did that stupid mare have to go and say something like that!” She groaned. “What could have possibly tipped her off that I- that I might have had a crush on him!? Did I look at him weird or something and not even realize it?!”

Covering her face with her hands, she let out a long stress-ridden breath. Regardless of what she thought, it was getting harder and harder to deny it now. With not only her own inner desires repeating themselves it over and over again in her subconscious but now another pony outright suggesting that she outta outright confess, she had to face the music.

“I... I really do have feelings for him...”

Even just mumbling the words quietly to herself made the mare feel so... wrong. He was practically her baby brother, for pony’s sake! She’d raised him ever since she herself was a little filly. Sure, they weren’t biologically related, and even if they were, such relationships were not unheard of.

“That still doesn’t change the fact that I literally hatched him and changed his diapers when he was just a baby!” She argued in a hushed voice. “Never once has anything like this ever come up before, so why in Tartarus am I feeling like this all the sudden?!”

She’d initially blamed it on just being some kind of weird side-effect of using the Elements of Harmony. Perhaps it had messed around with her hormones or something. Yet the more she thought about it, the more it made sense of the other oddity she’d been struggling with since arriving in Ponyville. The strange jealously she’d mostly been ignoring whenever Spike kept getting along so well with seemingly every mare in town... Had it really been because she wanted him... for herself?

“Ohhh, what in the world is wrong with me...” Twilight groaned, bowing her head. To be honest, she didn’t really know what ‘having feelings for somepony’ was supposed to feel like... It was probably the one aspect she’d so far failed to grasp from her many romance novels at home. If you could call books full of mostly smut romance novels...

Unfortunately, Spike was also right about the whole sleep schedule thing. Unless she wanted this issue to quite literally drive her insane, she’d need to get some more sleep. Which, of course, meant doing so right next to him... How in Equestria had she not had seen the issue with the library's only bed before now...

She’d give it a few minutes at least. As it is, she still needed some time to think about things... big things...
