Fluttershy walked about the town of Ponyville very carefully the next morning over, heading straight towards the castle with a worried look on her reddened face. She wore a dark blue sundress with a wide-rimmed hat, and she carried a white basket filled with a few jars of...something or another. Cleaning up after what had happened last night was nothing short of incredibly concerning, but figuring out what exactly had happened and why it had happened the way that it did were the only things that she had on her mind right now.

She forced herself into the castle and marched on towards the kitchen, knowing for certain that Twilight would be there. She was always the first pony that she thought of whenever the need to have something explained was of the matter. Sure as she thought, the purple princess was sipping on some coffee and reading the morning news, turning her attention to look at her when she had heard her coming.

"Oh, good morning, Fluttershy. Coffee?" Twilight greeted happily. Her horn flared to life as she levitated a cup and a hot pot of coffee over, offering it gently as the yellow pegasus could just barely nod to it.

"Twilight...I'm not sure how to say this, but..." Fluttershy started, her whole face red and her voice softer than normal. Twilight noticed this right away and put the items away before walking up to her. She was a whole head taller than her pegasus friend, with her breasts being surprisingly smaller than hers. Why mention a detail like breast size? Simple, fanservice.

"What happened?" Twilight asked, getting the story back on track.

"Well...." Fluttershy took in a deep breath, carefully recalling the events of last night in great detail. She spoke of how someone had apparently broken into her home and did....things to her body when she sleeping. She woke up and thought that someone was there, but didn't see anything, and to make it worse, the feeling continued further and further when she tried going back to sleep afterwards. It was....not actually horrible, just highly confusing. Twilight was blushing by the time she had finished it.

"So....That's it then?" Twilight asked her, Fluttershy nodding twice in rapid succession. The princess of friendship just put a hand on her chin as she thought about just how to examine such a situation. That's when she noticed the basket that Fluttershy was holding, now curious as to what it had in it. "And that would be?" she asked, Fluttershy making a little gasp as she looked towards it in turn.

"I almost forgot. This was sprayed all over my bed" Fluttershy answered as she took out two jars of partially glowing semen from last night. "It was such a colossal pain to clean all of this up, but I figured that you'd be able to figure something out about it" she then added as Twilight examined it closely. Her wings seemed to unfurl a little bit, stiffening with arousal and concern for her friend's sake.

"Let's just go ahead and take these to the lab" Twilight mused, using her magic to lift up the jars.

"You have a lab? I thought it was...Well..." Fluttershy asked, trying to avoid talking about how her old lab was destroyed by Tirek some time ago.

"No, it's perfectly fine. I lost a few bits of archived data, but the majority of my equipment is still working. That, and I also had to get a lot more equipment in recent times. Having royal funds is definitely an improvement in my daily life" Twilight answered with a smile as the two of them headed out of the kitchen and into one of the endless hallways that the castle ended up stuck with. Getting a map of her castle might actually be necessary in the future.

"Actually, I just now realized something, where's Spike right now?" Fluttershy then asked, serving as the audience surrogate when it came to such details.

"Oh, Rarity dragged him out so he could help her shop. Well, I guess he volunteered for it, so I don't really think that it counts as getting dragged out, but oh well. At least this saves you some embarrassment" Twilight answered her, Fluttershy just nodding her head and going along with it. They rounded a corner and found themselves at what looked like a closet. Opening it up though, it revealed a staircase leading to the basement lab. Twilight lead ahead as she flipped the light switch by the door, her tail swaying rather cutely behind her. Fluttershy could already smell and hear all manner of different things coming from here. Chemicals and all kinds of devices were all that filled her mind as she looked down at the bottom, seeing tons of purple machinery everywhere.

The basement was enormous, more than twice the size of the former library's basement. The actual state of what Twilight had to work with for that matter looked a lot more advanced. Fluttershy just had to know how much bigger Twilight's bank account was, but that wasn't as important right now. Right now, she needed to focus, watching Twilight stand next to what seemed to be a large cube as she dumped the contents of the jars inside a hole in the top. The hole closed up and then lights started flashing on the sides, showing it was in use, but Fluttershy didn't know just what it was doing.

"Alright, now we just have to wait a moment for the machine to tell us exactly what this is. Shouldn't take very long" Twilight mused, crossing her arms under her bust for a few minutes. Fluttershy just stood there awkwardly, looking around at all of the various equipment and machinery that sat everywhere, mostly uncovered aside from a few tarps she could see. They were either supposed to be a secret, or they were simply there to keep them from gathering dust, but she couldn't be certain. She would've said something to try and get past the awkward silence, but the machine soon started printing out some paper, breaking the silence in the process.

"Alright then, let's just take a look at this..." Twilight answered, tearing the sheet off as she looked towards the analysis said. Her eyebrow quirked once or twice, and Fluttershy thought the worst for a moment or two. Of course, she'd know just what it was had she actually been thinking with a dirtier mind, or had smelled it ahead of time. "Minotaur semen. You brought me two jars of minotaur semen" Twilight deadpanned as Fluttershy's eyes widened up from it. Just as she was about to say something about it though, Twilight simply placed a hand on her shoulder and looked her dead in the eye.

"It's not that bad of a thing to date a different species, Fluttershy. Just try not to make it too much of a big deal" Twilight told her, but Fluttershy just had a cross look in her eyes.

"Twilight, I'm not dating any minotaur. I just got molested by one when I was trying to sleep. I don't even know how it happened or where it came from. It wasn't even there when I tried looking for it, ether. Are you sure that there isn't anything else that we can do to handle this?" Fluttershy then stated as Twilight gave it a thought.

"Well, I suppose that I can grab a few other things and see what else might be there, but I'm not entirely sure it would work" Twilight answered, but Fluttershy looked as though she would be willing to do anything at this point.

"It'll be good enough for me" the pegasus answered as they started to gather materials. This was going to be a long day, possibly a long night as well.
