Whew. Okay Twilight. You can do this. It's JUST an alternative club. An alternative club that a PRINCESS really shouldn't be seen at. On the other hoof, you have to wonder why FLUTTERSHY goes here. Okay. Take a few deep breaths then walk in.

Twilight Sparkle set her brow and then, with a determined trot, entered the club, The Scarlet. It was a...new club to grace the Manehattan scene, a club that offered a unique sort of service. It was a fetish club. Now, while fetish clubs weren't UNCOMMON in Manehattan, far from it, the Scarlet was a different beast entirely. Calling it a club wasn't good enough, what it was was one part performance stage, one part bar, two parts viewing area, and four parts playrooms. While the Scarlet catered to many different fetishes, the biggest and most popular was BDSM. Again, not an uncommon thing in Manehattan, Rarity would talk nonstop about how many times she was commissioned by such establishments. What made the Scarlet different was the exclusivity. Unless you knew someone who went there, or were a BIG SHOT in Equestria, like Princess Celestia big, you didn't get in.

So, the fact that FLUTTERSHY was there, well, it intrigued Twilight. Being an Element bearer and Savior of Equestria meant she'd have no trouble getting in but, why this club? Why this club specifically? There were a few other locations of the Scarlet in Equestria. Griffinstone had one, the Crystal Empire of all places had one, even APPALOOSA managed to get one up and running. Why this one in Manehattan specifically? It wasn't like it was just down the road in Ponyville, no, this was a commute. So, what drove Fluttershy of all ponies to be here? That was what Twilight wanted to find out. What she wasn't expecting was what she saw when entering. Bathed in a red light, owing to the name, the place was FILLED with ponies. Stallions and Mares of different sizes and colors occupied just the entrance. Earth Ponies, Pegasi, Unicorns, it didn't matter. They were ALL there. Some of them were in trenchcoats obviously hiding something and some of them simply were on display in fetish gear and lingerie. As soon as Twilight entered, silence reigned. You could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet.

Great. Just what I needed. Overexposure. With a sheepish smile, Twilight entered into the line, her ears picking up the hushed whispers of the other ponies.

"What's Princess Twilight doing here?"

"Is Princess Twilight a client?"

"Could she be lost?"

"Does she know what the Scarlet is?" Twilight winced. This was starting to feel like a mistake. The line moved swiftly, as pony after pony entered the club that was playing music over the loud speakers. Finally, when an aqua-marine pegaus entered the club, Twilight was next.

"Um, hello," Twilight said, to the perplexed ticket pony.

"P-Princess Twilight! Um...what can I do for you, your majesty?"

"Well..I'd like into the club," Twilight said, nervously rubbing the back of her hooves.

"Are you sure? You DO know what this club is, right?" the ticket pony asked.

"I'm sure. My friend Fluttershy comes here so I thought if she found something of interest, I could to," Twilight said. The ticket pony's eyes widened, then smiled.

"Alright then, Princess. Perhaps it would be good if I contacted Miss Shy and have her give you the tour. Then, once you're done, if you decide what you wish to do, she'll bring you back to me and I can get you all signed in," she said. Twilight nodded, leaning against the wall, as the ticket pony entered the club. 15 minutes passed, when the familiar pink mane of Fluttershy appeared. However, she was NOT AT ALL looking like Twilight usually saw her. Atop of her beautiful yellow fur was a set of dark red lingerie. Garters, stockings and all. A corset was covering her chest with holes for her wings, and on her back legs was a pair of leather boots, also in a dark red color. She wore a choker with a red heart pendant, and on her forehooves were dark red leather socks. Her mane was done up in a tail, and she had black mascara over her eyes. To top off this ensemble, she had a riding crop clutched in her hoof. Twilight, at that moment, resembled a fish seeing her timid pegasus friend in such an outfit.

"Twilight? What're you doing here?" Fluttershy asked, her tone having no trace of her timidness.

"Um..well..I was curious about this place and about..what you see in it," Twilight said, as her heart started beating faster as she took in her friends outfit a second time and her mouth started working again. Fluttershy sighed, turning to the ticket pony.

"Viv, can you ask Pepper to cover Kitten for me while I take care of this?" she asked. Viv nodded. "Okay, Twilight, follow me," Fluttershy said. Twilight gulped as she followed her friend into the club, the music now louder. If Twilight had thought that the ENTRANCE was a shock, the inside was another story. There were ponies dressed similarly to Fluttershy, and there were ponies next to them wearing only collars. Some were wearing collars and were being led on leashes, and some had collars, leashes, and clamps on different parts of their body. Following behind Fluttershy, Twilight tried not becoming flustered seeing that the crotchless panties she wore left NOTHING to the imagination. Weaving in and out of similarly dressed ponies, and casually sneaking glances of a 'performance' on the front stage, Fluttershy brought Twilight to the bar. "Sal! Can I get something for my friend? Put it on my tab, okay?" she asked the bartender, who nodded.

"Thanks, Fluttershy," Twilight said.

"So, you really wanna know what I see in this place, Twilight? Well, you know that feeling I had when I was just singing to myself? Before the whole Ponytones thing? That feeling of exhilaration is what I see in it, Twilight. Here, I don't have to be 'Fluttershy'. Here, I don't have to be seen as simply the timid animal lover from Ponyville. Here, I can be commanding, dominant, worshipped, feared. It's that feeling of power, Twilight," Fluttershy said. Twilight nodded, taking a few sips from the drink Sal had placed in front her.

"However, it's not just about those aspects. The biggest draws to this lifestyle are two things. Theatricality and safety. See, in Ponyville, I'm Fluttershy. HERE? I'm Mistress Sunny. It's like playing a role, Twilight. Like, when you're in Ponyville, I see you as just Twilight, but when you're at court in Canterlot..?" Fluttershy asked, leaving the answer to Twilight.

"I have to be a completely different pony," Twilight answered, earning a wink from Fluttershy.

"Mistress?" a small voice said. Fluttershy and Twilight turned to find a collared pegasus mare kneeling in front of Fluttershy with her head down.

"Kitten? I thought Mistress Pepper was taking care of you," Fluttershy said to the kneeling pegasus.

"She was Mistress, but, I wanted to be with you," she said. Fluttershy glared, placing the tip of the crop under the muzzle of the pegasus and lifted her head.

"Are you telling me you DEFIED a direct order, Kitten? Because you know what punishment that entails," Fluttershy said in a low and angry tone.

"Yes Mistress. I know," the pegasus said, not taking her gaze off of Fluttershy. The dominant pegaus sighed, flicking the crop down.

"Well, are you going to greet Princess Twilight or not? You very rudely interrupted a conversation we were having," she said.

"H-Hello, Princess," the pegasus said.

"Um..hello," Twilight said.

"She's my latest sub, Twilight. We only just met tonight, and I'm pretty sure she's a first timer. This display here? It proves that," Fluttershy said, motioning at Kitten. "Now, you are going to apologize for interrupting mine and Princess Twilight's conversation and then you are going to lick my boots until I'm done and then you're going to go back to the room and assume the punishment position." Kitten nodded, slightly trembling.

"I'm very sorry for interrupting you and Mistress' conversation, Princess Twilight. I promise it won't happen again," she said, then leaned down and began running her tongue against Fluttershy's boots.

"Sorry about this, Twilight, but I need to have a firm hoof. So, now that you know my reasons, what do you think?" Fluttershy asked.

"Y-You mentioned safety as another thing that draws you. Why?" Twilight asked, trying not to watch Kitten's rump as she continued to lick Fluttershy's boots.

"Right. Here's the trick. Even though I'm the dominant in this, Kitten here has all the power, because she can stop this with a single word. This is what we call a 'safeword' and the safeword is law. If the safeword is uttered, EVERYTHING stops. No ifs, ands or buts. At the same time, I ALSO have limits. That's why we share a safeword. Kitten can say it or I can say it. The outcome remains the same. I know the outward appearance of all of this may seem..frightening, but trust me, I would never push Kitten further than she wants," Fluttershy said, periodically flicking the crop against Kitten's rump, which earned squeaks and moans from the pegasus.

"Okay. So, um, be honest with me about something. Hypothetically speaking, in this environment, what do you see ME as?" Twilight asked, taking a slow sip from her drink. Fluttershy's eyes widened.

"You mean, do I see you as a domme or sub?" she asked.

"Hypothetically," Twilight said, the blush she'd had on her face having grown. Fluttershy smirked, her tongue between her teeth.

"Hypothetically? Well, you have the commanding edge to be a domme, but, even as a Princess you still need direction, guidance. Even for friendship problems, you don't do it alone, do you? So, that level of trust and dependence, along with the fact that, well, you're much more comfortable with FOLLOWING orders than making them. I am right in that, yeah?" she asked.

"Um..pretty much, yeah. It's easier for me to follow pre-written rules and orders than make new ones on the spot," Twilight said.

"Then, hypothetically, I can definitely see you as a sub. There's not a Mistress in this club who wouldn't LOVE to have Princess Twilight Sparkle at their beck and call," Fluttershy said.

"Mistress? May I add something?" Kitten asked, not stopping her licking of Fluttershy's boots.

"You have something to contribute to this conversation, Kitten?" she asked.

"Well, I noticed when you were talking to Princess Twilight, she had her head slightly angled down. And she really didn't interrupt you when you were talking. You asked her questions, she answered," the submissive pegasus said, lifting herself up a bit. Twilight's blush deepened as she turned her gaze away from Fluttershy.

"Huh. Very observant, Kitten," Fluttershy said, stroking the pegasus' mane.

"And..if Princess Twilight doesn't mind me saying so, I think she would be an amazing sub," Kitten finished with a small smile.

"Well, if that's not a winning endorsement, I don't know what is. So, are you thinking about signing up, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well, yes. But I wanted to know what you thought I would be best at. I-If you think I'd be better as a sub then I guess that's what I'll be," Twilight said, gulping.

"Twilight, you don't HAVE to do this. It was just a suggestion. If you're uncomfortable with this, there's no shame in going home. It's not everypony's cup of tea," Fluttershy said, for the first time that night looking like the friend Twilight had and placing a comforting hoof on Twilight's shoulder.

"I know, Fluttershy, but I want to try it at least once. Consider it scientific curiosity. There's just...one problem," Twilight said.

"What's that?" Fluttershy asked, stroking Kitten's mane a bit more.

"I..I don't really know WHICH domme to choose," Twilight said. With a chuckle, Fluttershy stood up.

"Kitten, head back to the room. I'll be back in a minute, I promise. And you are to crawl there, missy," Fluttershy said, snapping the crop in finality. Kitten squeaked but did as she was told, crawling back to the area she'd come from. "Go back to the entrance, Twilight, and give this information to Viv. I know just the domme that'd be perfect for you." Twilight smiled, as Fluttershy wrote down on a notepad that was on the bar.

"Thanks," Twilight said, as Fluttershy hoofed her the page.

"Thank you, what?" Fluttershy asked, setting her gaze into a glare.

"Thank you..Mistress Sunny," Twilight said, her tone becoming soft. Fluttershy laughed.

"Oh, she's going to LOVE you," she said, finally following Kitten. Twilight gulped, ignoring the sweat on her brow or the heat in her nethers, as she willed her legs to walk back to the entrance with the paper in her hoof.

"Welcome back, Princess Twilight. What can I do for you?" Viv asked, when Twilight reappeared.

"Um..I'd like to sign in for a session tonight. Mistress Sunny..picked out a Mistress for me," she said, gulping as she hoofed the paper over to Viv. The earth pony took the paper and read the information, a smirk coming to her face.

"Alright then, Princess. Let me go get her handler to get you all set up and I'll put you in the logbook," she said. Twilight nodded, gulping and taking a seat on the bench in the front hall, as Viv headed back into the club. A few minutes passed, before the door opened again and light blue earth pony with twin candy canes as a cutie mark appeared.

"Princess Twilight? I'm here to take you to the play room," she said. Twilight gulped, following her through the numerous bodies of ponies enjoying themselves. Sharply turning to a hallway with doors, the earth pony pushed open a set of double doors that led to a set of stairs leading to the bowels of the Scarlet. More rooms were found there, but these ones were made to look like bedrooms. Twilight's heart started to beat as she saw various ponies in the rooms, some she recognized, some she didn't. One of the rooms she passed contained Fluttershy and Kitten. The submissive pegasus was hogtied and suspended from the ceiling, with her wings bound and a ball gag stuffed in her mouth, muffling her moans. Fluttershy was on her hind legs, that were covered in odd leather straps.

"Who owns you, Kitten?!" Fluttershy demanded, landing a smack to Kitten's flank.

"Oo fo, Miftrff!" Kitten moaned. The blue earth pony led Twilight to a vacant room that was the most lavish. A beautiful queen sized violet bed was situated on the back wall of the room, and on the sides there were racks filled with toys, harnesses, and other bondage equipment. Situated in the corner of the room was a large wooden 'x' with shackles situated on it, and next to the bed was a nightstand with vibrators and dildos on it. Twilight's blush increased, as she noticed another vanity situated near the door of the same ebony wood as the nightstand.

"Okay, Princess. Let me just get you situated and ready for your domme, also go over a few rules that she has," the blue earth pony said, closing the door, and heading over to the vanity. Opening the top drawers, the blue earth pony pulled out a sleep mask, a set of restraints, a few leather bands and a leather collar with a metal ring. Grabbing the leather bands, the earth pony approached the alicorn. "Could you please relax your wings, Princess?" she asked. Twilight blushed, nodding as she settled her wings into a relaxed position. The earth pony wrapped the bands around Twilight's wings, over her back and under her stomach in a crisscross pattern, and then tied the remaining ends around the base of Twilight's tail. Twilight bit her lip, as the heat from her nethers intensified from her wings being restrained. "Please raise your head for me, Princess," the earth pony asked. Twilight did so, as the blue pony fastened the leather collar onto her neck, securing it with a CLICK! Pulling back a bit, the earth pony smiled. "Okay, Princess. Just a few more things. I'm gonna need you to kneel on your hind legs and put your forelegs behind you," she said. With a gulp, Twilight did as the earth pony instructed, her heartbeat picking up. "Now, I'm gonna put this on you," the earth pony said, holding up the sleep mask. Twilight nodded, as the pony fastened it around her face, her vision now obscured. "Okay, Princess. Just one more thing. I need your safeword," she said. Twilight nodded. She'd been trying to think of one since Fluttershy had told her about it, but now that she was actually DOING this, her mind was drawing a blank.

"Um...Amethyst," Twilight said.

"Very good, Princess. Just wait here. She'll be with you shortly," the earth pony said. Twilight heard the door close and soon, silence reigned. After a few minutes, as she felt her hind legs start to get sore, the door opened again. Twilight's ears pricked up. The door closed and Twilight tensed herself. This was it. It was about to start. A dry chuckle went through the room.

"Ms. Sparkle, welcome. I am Mistress D, and YOU are MINE for the evening."
