A Beneficial Relationship: A Ponytropolis Thanksgiving Special

1 Day Later...

Celestia and Luna landed near the Peaks of Peril, surveying the landscape. There was hardly any trees and short grass for miles. To the right of the Peaks was a mountain range.

"Strange place for such... legendary beings," Luna pointed out.

Celestia eyed her before making her way towards the Peaks. "Perhaps they just enjoy being inside a mountain?"

The blue alicorn followed her sister as the mountains came closer and closer. "I pictured something much nicer. Something more akin to a forest..."

When the two arrived at the Peaks, they looked up.

"Shall we fly?" Luna asked, flapping her wings once.

Shaking her head, Celestia lowered her head and looked around their immediate surroundings. "Their village would not be hidden if it could be seen from the sky, dear sister. Not to mention, the legends said nothing about wings... so, there must be a way to get there from the ground..."

"I suppose you have a point," the blue mare sighed. "Any ideas where to look?"

Celestia ran her hand along the side of the mountain, thinking, before she spotted a rock that seemed out of place. It was a different color than that of the mountain and seemed to be wedged into a large hole. "Here, sister," she said, walking over to it. It was a little taller than they were. Holding her hand out, Celestia used her magic to move it aside. Behind it was a hidden passage in the rock face. "Perhaps through here?"

Luna peered inside and shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine. It has to lead somewhere, though... And, our subjects are counting on us."

Nodding in agreement, Celestia entered the narrow passage. "Seal that behind you. We do not want anyone else finding this."

"Not so hard for us, even with the rock," Luna pointed out, entering the passage and using her magic to move the rock back in place.

Lighting up their horns, the two sisters made their way down the narrow passageway until they spotted sunlight up ahead.

"There," Celestia said, pointing with a smile. "We are almost out."

"Let us hope this trip was worth it," Luna said, sounding uncertain.

Soon, the two stepped out of the cave and was greeted with a beautiful forest and a village with buildings and structs made from various types of wood. In the center was a large pool of water with a fountain in the center.

Walking around the village were what appeared to be ponies, but they had scales down their nose and larger, curved horns. Instead of pony-like manes, they had lion-like manes. Their tails were a little different, too. All they had on for clothing were loincloths. Both the males and females were topless. The princesses quickly felt overly dressed in their royal armor.

"Looks like we found them," Celestia said with a smile.

Luna even smiled lightly, looking around. "They may not wear much... but their architectural skills are magnificent."

As they talked, one of the Kirin spotted them; A dark red Kirin with golden scales and mossy green mane and tail. She had to be at least a C-cup. Instead of freaking out and running away, she seemed more interested. Without saying anything, she soon turned and left.

"Well..." Celestia said with a smile. "At least they seem friendly," she said, the two slowly making their way into the village.

Soon, the other Kirin spotted them. The princesses felt less embarrassed by all the bare chests and a tad more excited. It was an interesting change to what they were used to. Their eyes ran over the fit chests of the males and the curvy chest of the females.

"I would not mind staying here for a while..." Celestia cooed, before looking at her sister. "You, sister?"

Luna had her eyes on a sandy light brown Kirin male with an orange-brown mane and tail. "Oh, definitely..." she said with a blush and a smile.

They soon saw a taller, amber-gray Kirin approaching them. She was more their height and had light gold-ish gray scales and a two-toned opal and gray-ish turquoise mane. Her breasts were about an F-cup and jiggle lightly with each step.

"Well, this must be the... leader..." Celestia said with a blush, seeing the busty mare approaching them.

"Greetings," the tall Kirin cooed in a kind voice. "What brings you to our village?"

Luna noticed Celestia eyeing the busty chest and let out a sigh. "How do you know we come in peace?"

"We can sense the intentions of others," the Kirin explained. "If you had a wicked heart, we would not be having this conversation. In fact, I sense a noble purpose..."

Celestia snapped out of her boob-induced trance and nodded. "That is correct," she said in amazement. "We are the princesses of Equestria. Our subjects are suffering. Without the knowledge on how to forage or build, well... There have been far too many unnecessary deaths... We come to you to ask you to who us how to forage and build."

The Kirin nodded with a smile. "I would be most delighted to assist two princesses," she said, before turning and walking away. "Follow me, please."

As the two followed, they looked around at the other Kirin, who all stopped what they were doing to look at them.

"I am assuming you do not get many visitors?" Luna asked.

"You are the first ones we have had who are peaceful," the Kirin leader explained. "A couple of ponies once tried to take over our village and some dragons once tried to take advantage of us. I suppose they saw a bunch of topless females and did not expect us to be able to defend ourselves."

"I see..." Celestia said as they entered a hut that seemed a tad larger than the rest. Inside, was a mattress made of leaves set up on the side. There was also no bottom to the hut, so the soft grass made up the floor. "Seems like you have no problem protecting yourselves."

"This is true," the Kirin cooed, kneeling down in the soft grass by the center of the hut, facing them. "But, there is something you could help us with. Shall we make an arrangement?"

Celestia and Luna both looked around before sitting down, cross-legged.

"Of course," Celestia replied with a smile. "How can we help you?"

"First things first," the Kirin said with a light chuckle. "I am Rain Shine," she said, holding out her hand.

The white alicorn reached out and shook it. "Celestia... Oh, wow..." she said in awe. "You are so... soft..."

"We make sure to keep our bodies and fur well-maintained," Rain Shine explained, before Luna reached out to shake her hand.

"I am Luna," the alicorn greeted. "And, you are soft. You must teach us."

"I will do all I can to help, Princess Luna," Rain Shine said with a smile. "In exchange... I would love to find a way to protect our village. We can handle ourselves just fine when the wicked-minded find their way in... But, I would like a way to make sure they do not get in, period."

"I am sure we could come up with some sort of spell," Celestia said with a smile.

Luna nodded. "We could combine a shield spell with your ability to sense one's intentions."

"That is not so much magic as it is an ability," Rain Shine explained, rubbing her chin in thought. "Though, I may be able to make a spell out of it..."

"If it works, it would keep the wicked out," Celestia said as she waited for the Kirin to respond.

After a few seconds, the Kirin leader smiled. "I think this could work. We do not have the ability to cast complex spells like shields, so your assistance would be greatly appreciated."

"We have a deal, then?" Celestia asked, holding out her hand.

Rain Shine smiled and gently shook it. "We do." When she pulled away, she smiled more. "I saw you eyeing the other Kirin... not to mention my chest..."

Celestia and Luna both blushed.

"W-Well..." Luna stammered. "Everything is just... out in the open..."

Rain Shine let out a giggle. "It is quite okay... I understand that you two are not so used to seeing so many... topless individuals. It is just how we live. We focus more on building than our clothes. Plus, there is less to worry about, in terms of washing. I am grateful that you did not jump on the nearest Kirin... That would have been very bad... For you..."

The two alicorns both nodded before Celestia spoke up. "I admit, there are a lot of attractive Kirin... not to mention the one sitting in front of us. Even so, we respect others and would never take advantage of them."

"I know," Rain Shine cooed. "And, if you would like to join us in our... open-ness... I am sure I can find you something else to wear..."

The sisters blushed again and looked at each other.

"I doubt we need our armor, anyways..." Luna said, rubbing the back of her neck.

"And, it would show them we respect and understand their livelihood," Celestia added, before looking at Rain Shine. "To honor our new alliance, we will live like you for a few days. While we get that spell figured out."

Rain Shine nodded and started to get up. "Wait here. I will get you something to wear." She then headed passed them and outside, her tail teasingly brushing against Celestia's cheek.

The white alicorn tensed up a little and eyed her sister, who was grinning at her.

"I think she likes you, sister," the blue alicorn cooed.

Celestia gave her a smile. "Perhaps... Though, I see no down side in that..."
