Stuck In The Middle

Role-Playing Games

Twilight paced frantically about her friend's room.

"I don't know what to do, Rarity, things are really getting out of hoof now," she said.

Rarity gave a sympathetic nod and sipped her tea with shaking hooves. "Twilight, darling, do calm down. Everything will be alright in the end."

"In the end means I might end up locked away in Tartarus!" Twilight shouted, and immediately covered her mouth up, eyes fixed on the door.

Rarity sighed. "Nopony's in, Twilight. I would not have one of my dearest friends talk about such private matters with just anypony listening. It's just you and me. Please, sit, dear. Have some tea."

The purple unicorn ran a hoof through her mane and reluctantly sat down, slightly shivering.

"Now, first things first: Which one do you love the most?"

Twilight blinked. "Luna. No wait, Celestia. No! Luna! Oh! I don't know!" she wailed and covered her face up.

Her friend sighed again and patted her on the back. This is going to be harder than I thought. "OK, from the top, list the things that make them special for you - oh, dear! You're crying! Oh we shan't have that, come here. Blow."

The weeping mare sniffed and blew her nose on her friend's handkerchief. "Thanks Rarity. You're the only pony I can talk to about this."

It was true. Rarity was the only one of Twilight's friends who knew of her... situation. Mainly due to Rarity being Rarity and having a sort of Rarity-sense, like Pinkie-sense, about extremely juicy bits of gossip. And this was probably the juiciest thing ever.

Rarity smiled back and gave her a reassuring nudge. "Think nothing of it, dear. Now, from the top. List their pros and cons. Cons first, they're more juicy," she giggled, trying to ease the tension.

Twilight tittered back. "Alright, Luna's cons: She can be scary at times, she doesn't connect with me as much as Celestia does, she's a bit... awkward every now and then..." she trailed off.

"OK, and now Celestia. This is good, Twilight." Rarity assured her.

The lavender mare smiled weakly. "Celestia's cons: She's... not Luna."

Rarity facehoofed. "Ohhh... Well, Twilight. Back to square one," she muttered and levitated her tea to her mouth again. "So what do you intend to do? What about this vacation to Prance - as wonderful and romantic as it sounds."

Twilight cringed. "I know. I want to go, I think it'd be great. Just me and Luna... it would be wonderful..." she murmured, beaming with the thought of it. "But then..." Her face fell. "I don't know what Celestia would do if she found out... or if I disappeared for a week or so."

"You can hardly be in two places at once. Not even you could do that magic," the pale-as-Celestia unicorn snorted.

She stopped and thought about something. "I... sort of had an idea though," she whispered.

"Oh? Do tell," Rarity replied, while sipping her tea.

Twilight took a deep breath. "Well, changelings can appear as anypony, right? So I thought... maybe I could ask one to... be me for a bit?"

She flinched as tea sprayed over her.

"What?! Twilight! You can't do that!" Rarity sputtered, "sorry, dear, I'll help you get dry, but who knows what would happen if they fed off of Celestia's love for you!"

"But what else can I do?" Twilight grumbled as Rarity passed her a towel. "Tell Celestia I'm going on a romantic vacation with her sister, or tell Luna I can't go on a romantic vacation because I'm dating her sister?!" she yelled as her horn flared up. She vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving Rarity to clean up the mess she'd made.

"I do hope you sort this out, dear," she murmured sadly.

~~~

Princess Luna spun around in a circle as she waited for her young lover to arrive once more. Only seven hours to go.

She squeed with the thought of them spending a week together in Prance - the most romantic holiday zone for couples these days, the guide had told her.

"Luna? Mind if I have a word?" her sister's voice called from the other side of the door.

The giddy pony bounced over to the door and swung it open, throwing her hooves around her big sister's neck. "And hello to you, too, Tia."

Celestia looked own, quite surprised to see her sister hugging her. "And hello to you, Luna, what's gotten you so happy this morning?"

Luna grinned and tapped her nose as she released her forelegs from around the white neck. "I've been thinking about this vacation. I'm so glad you agree," she giggled and skipped back into the room.

Her sister followed, and smiled at the large trunk, packed with swim suits, sun cream, towels, and other assorted holiday-based items.

"It seems you've been planning this for a while," she said as Luna bustled about the room, happily humming a tune to herself.

The Night Princess grinned and spun in a circle. "I suppose I have. She is a very special mare." More-so than you could ever know. "She deserves this."

Celestia chuckled. "Just who is this 'wonderful' mare you keep talking about? It sounds like I may want to meet her someday."

I think you know her already, sister. The younger sibling thought and grinned even wider. "Now, now, that would spoil the surprise wouldn't it? Perhaps after the vacation we'll show you."

"Heh. Speaking of which, I might take my special friend on a vacation too. She is very special to me, and she could use a winding down. Perhaps we'll go to Prance alongside you, so I won't have to wait to see her." The elder sister grinned like a Cheshire cat.

Luna frowned. "But who would look after the kingdom? We can't both go on holiday." Plus, we can't both see each other's little secret, now could we? Discord knows what would happen if she found out about Twilight and I.

Celestia sighed. "Perhaps you are right." That's a valid point, actually. Who knows what would happen if she found out about Twilight and I. "And both princesses can't exactly leave a nation to it's own ends. Unless we let Discord rule for a week or something."

Both sister laughed at this and nuzzled one another.

"Or," Luna continued, stifling a bout of giggles, "we let Chrysalis and her changelings take over for a while."

"Think of the madness," Celestia laughed back. "I'm happy to see you like this, Luna. A few weeks ago, we wouldn't have been caught dead laughing together like this. I'm glad whoever this mysterious mare is has changed you."

"Thank you, Tia. You, yourself seem spring and looser than usual. Has your little pony fixed your odds and ends?" Luna chuckled.

"Hmm. Perhaps."

Celestia craned her neck and cracked a few muscles in her wings. I should have gotten Twilight to help me with this, she thought and flexed one wing out. "Well, I should return to my duties. I just came by to see how you were getting on."

Luna smiled and nuzzled her, still beaming. "Thank you, dearest sister."

The milky coloured alicorn smiled back and turned to go. "And Luna, stay safe on this holiday. Try not to let... her come out. I think your friend would not appreciate her."

The indigo pony shivered and turned away. "I won't," she grunted bitterly to the sound of the door closing, and began stuffing some more clothes into the trunk. When she was sure her sister was gone, she let ut a sigh of relief and left the trunk, making sure to clasp it shut.

"Now to actually invite our little Twilight," she giggled to herself and exited her chambers. The two Night Guards on either side of the door saluted, tucking in their razor sharp, bat-like wings and straightened their necks. "Whisper, Ghost," she commanded.

They turned to face her.

"Ready my chariot. I must make for Ponyville immediately."

~~~

Twilight Sparkle sat with her head under the covers, groaning about her problems. Thankfully, she heard neither hide nor hair of her dragon companion, Spike, and frequently talked with herself about said problems.

"Rarity was right, that was a stupid idea. Just how am I supposed to get one changeling to take my place for a while? Let alone feel safe enough to leave it alone with Celestia."

She groaned again and poked her head out, glaring at the sky. "Faust damn me for being so stupid and careless. I should have ended it with one of them before this whole thing even started."

But how do you break up with a princess, without fear of death, banishment, death or banishment and then death? her own voice argued back inside her head.

"Exactly," she grunted and buried her face in her hooves.

A knock at the door made her shrike and jump out of bed.

"Twilight? I wish to speak with you," came Princess Luna's voice.

Twilight felt butterflies in her stomach. She hurried downstairs and flung the door open. "P-p-princess, what a nice surprise," she stammered and made to hug the navy princess.

Luna held a hoof up. "Not here," she whispered.

Twilight backed away immediately. "Oh, of course. Come on in, pr- Luna."

The princess smiled and entered the tree-home. "My guards will remain outside, as to prevent any unwanted visitors from entering," she said, and nodded to the guards.

Ghost bowed and flexed her wings.

Whisper didn't move a muscle, and stared ahead at the world, glaring at anypony who walked past.

Once inside, Twilight moved closer to the princess. "Now can we..."

"Yes."

They threw their hooves around one another and hugged.

"I thought I wouldn't see you again until tonight, at least!" Twilight happily cried as she stroked the indigo feathers on the alicorn's back.

Luna sighed contently. "Yes, my little Twilight, neither did I, but I had a wonderful idea. Come, let us sit somewhere."

Twilight's butterflies vanished, as if a toad of guilt swallowed them whole. She led her company over to the pair of comfy chairs, both climbing into one and nuzzling each other as they did so.

As casually as possible, without trying to hint at the fact that she knew what it was, Twilight asked, "so what do I owe the pleasure of the Princess of the Night?"

Luna grinned. "Well, what do you say to the two of us, and just the two of us, taking a vacation to Prance?"

Twilight gave a dramatic gasp. "Oh, Luna, I'd love to, but-"

She was cut off by the princess's muzzle suddenly around hers. "How wonderful, Twilight! I knew you would like it, I've already got my case packed, and I'll gladly help you with yours. I'd love to see your cute little flank in a swim suit."

The plum coloured mare sighed and gently pushed the princess away. "But."

Luna's face fell drastically, and her eyes filled like water balloons, ready to burst. "But? But what, Twilight, my love?"

Twilight winced. "Never mind. I'd love to come to Prance with you."

The indigo pony's eyes returned to their normal condition, and out came another set of nuzzles and kisses.

Now you've gone and done it, Twilight. Get to work on finding a changeling, as soon as possible. She scolded herself. Or come clean with the princesses. Your choice-

"Twilight, my love, I have another proposition for you," Luna said quietly, interrupting her thoughts.

"Mhm?" Twilight responded, and lay against her chest, listening to their heartbeats.

"Well..." The princess leant down and whispered something in the unicorn's ear, making her giggle uncontrollably.

"I think that is... most agreeable, my lady princess," Twilight said, still giggling in a very Pie like fashion.

Luna rose out the chair and smiled, her eyes twinkling with glee and alicorn's mischief. "Very well, Clover the Clever, thou art to accompany our royal self to thy quarters. Lead the way, if you please."

'Clover' giggled at their role-play. This was another great thing about Luna: She could just slip in and out of any role given to her. "Of course, your majesty. This way."

She led them both across the room, and up the stairs, where she began giggling as Luna placed a hoof on her flank, and gave a gentle squeeze.

"Thy chambers are illustrious, Clover, we request you direct us to the bed, where we may begin the ceremony," Luna said.

"Yes, Princess Platinum. Right over there." Twilight pointed over to her rather ordinary and hardly illustrious looking bed. "Should we begin the 'ceremony' immediately, or- ahh!" she cried as Luna picked her up and thrust her onto the bed.

Twilight quivered with anticipation as a hair's length separated their noses. They lovingly stared into each other's eyes, purple against teal, lover against lover.

Luna sat up and began unfastening the clasps on her breastplate. She kicked her silvery slippers off and flung her crown into a corner. As the armour fell away, Twilight gazed upon her beautiful, bare body. Luna leant forwards and opened her mouth.

Their tongues immanently found each other, like siblings lost to the ages, and lovingly embraced.

"Luna... I... I..." Twilight whispered.

"Shhh, love. Don't say anything," Luna cooed and broke the kiss. She moved her head slowly down Twilight's body, tenderly kissing as she did so.

Twilight moaned in pleasure and felt her loins burn. She squealed in surprise and grasped at the bed sheets as Luna's teeth grazed her teats.

The princess pulled her head away cautiously. "Twilight? Did you not like that?" her sweet voice asked and caressed the purple body. Her words sounded like they were dipped in honey, and laden with candy and sugar.

"Yes... very much... Luna... take me."

Luna smiled and climbed back up Twilight's body. Their fair sexes pressed up against each other, both soaking wet and both very, very, intimate.

They both moaned as they rested heads against each other and their bodies slowly rocked up and down.

Luna opened her eyes and smiled down at Twilight's scrunched up face. She leaned down and rubbed noses. TWilight opened her own eyes and smiled back.

"Are you ready?" she whispered, biting her lower lip to stop her crying out in delight.

The indigo pony nodded and reached down. Her hoof tenderly stroked Twilight's marehood, making her whinny in approval and lust. "It is time, my little Sparkle."

Twilight nodded eagerly and kissed Luna's neck. She used her own hoof to stroke the moon cutie mark, tracing it with the edge of her hoof, and stroking her dark underbelly.

Luna pressed down again, letting her own sex wilfully press against that of her young lover's once more.

Again, Twilight had to bite her lip, or instead force her tongue down the princess's throat. She chose the latter. They both moaned into each other as their marehoods pressed up together.

~~~

Luna stroked Twilight's mane as they nestled under the covers, legs wrapped around one another once more, and tails woven together in a strange yet beautiful pattern.

The smaller of the two squeaked out another yawn and nuzzled her companion.

The larger of the two nuzzled back and smiled. "Sleep, my love. We shall leave tomorrow, where we can do this every day, if you so wish."

Twilight sat up as Luna hopped out the bed and began to regain her regalia. She stopped and looked around. "Where is my crown, Twilight?"

The lavender mare felt something resting on her ear. She used her magic to grasp whatever it was, and smiled as she revealed it. "Right here, princess."

Luna smiled and deftly removed the crown. As she was placing her sparkling slippers back on, she stopped and looked at the last one. "I wish one more thing of you, my love," she murmured, gazing at the slipper.

"Anything, Luna," Twilight responded and gazed at her with wanting eyes.

"Here." She gave the slipper to Twilight, pushing it onto one hoof. "A size too big, but I wish you to have it."

Twilight gaped at her, now sparkling, hoof. "Luna... this is wonderful... thank you," she gratefully said and held the slipper close to her. "I shall treasure it always. But... what if somepony notices you're missing a shoe? Won't they ask questions?" Namely one pony and a series of questions, possibly ending in banishment.

Luna chuckled and took the hoof in her own. "They won't. I'll make sure of it. Now I must return to Canterlot. We leave tomorrow. You should pack your things. Remember to bring a swim suit," she giggled and kissed the hoof goodbye.

The lavender mare watched as she left. She gazed at the back of the princess's head sadly as she trotted down the stairs.

She heard the rustle of wings and saw the chariot disappear into the orange sky. "She can move really fast when shewants to," she murmured.

"Finally! What in Equestria were you two doing?" Spike's grumpy voice called from downstairs.

Twilight jumped at the sound of his voice. Duh! Spike lives here too, remember? "Hello, Spike. Sorry we had to keep you for so long."

She froze, suddenly realizing what Luna had said. Tomorrow? As in, tomorrow tomorrow? The next day? Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. "Spike! Pack me a case, I need some swim suits and... sun cream. See if there's anything else I have for vacations!" she shouted down.

Spike appeared at the top of the stairs. "Why? Are we going on vacation?" he asked.

"Not you. Just me. It's sort of a get together with... Platinum," she lied, thinking on her feet.

One of his eyebrows raised. "Who's Platinum?"

She fidgeted on the spot, thinking fast. "She's... Princess Luna's... student. The princess was asking me to spend some time with her, make her feel comfortable around royalty, seen as how I have Celestia."

Oh I bet you do. And I bet she has your head on a spike by the end of the week.

"And another thing, find me a book about changelings. I need to do some research. But tell nopony, understand?!"

The dragon nodded and saluted. "Got it. So is this Platinum... cute?" he murmured.

Twilight blushed. "I guess so." Oh yes, so very much so. "No time for chit-chat, Spike, I need to pack my cases."

He nodded and pulled out a large trunk, then he placed his claws on his hips and frowned. "Uh, Twilight? Did you say swimsuits?"

"Mhm. Why?"

"Well... you don't have one, I think Rarity would be willing to-"

"Oh! Rarity!" she cried and slapped her forehead. "I just remembered something really important! Got to go, Spike, start packing those cases!" she commanded and galloped off, towards the boutique.

Spike was left with a bewildered expression. He shrugged it off and turned to go, but not before he noticed a sparkling shoe beside Twilight's bed. "Huh. Weird," he grumbled and picked it up. "I guess the princess forgot it. But why would she leave a shoe behind?"

He glanced around to make sure nopony was looking, and gently slipped his foot into the slipper, grinning like a madpony.

"Thou shalt calleth me, Prince Spike of the Sparkling Shoe!" he cried, in a very bad Luna impression. He eventually got bored and took it off, placing it by Twilight's bedside table, and began to pack her case.

Then he stopped, realizing she's never been on vacation before, and thus had no holiday based items of her own. "Maybe she'll get more from Rarity than she realizes."
