To the Winner Go the Spoils

It began innocently enough, as these things tend to do. Summer break was in full swing and the girls couldn't be happier to be free of the shackles of Canterlot High. In a few months the girls would start summer classes with a few of them moving into dorms and others taking classes at the local community colleges. But that began in August, and June had barely begun. Sunset was certainly enjoying herself: stretched haphazardly on the couch, controller in hand and headset placed on her head. The left earcup was hanging off so she could hear Fluttershy, who lay on the couch with her, tucked against her and content in watching Sunset play as they talked.

"It's kind of scary what you're able to find out from the animals you talk to, you know," Sunset chuckled.

"Oh yes," Fluttershy agreed. "It's also scary how willing the animals are to tell me what they know. It's like they're so excited to find a human who can understand them that they can't contain themselves."

"Which is why I don't think having all of our pets here in the house would be a good idea," Sunset.

"Oh gosh, could you imagine?" Fluttershy shuddered, pressing into Sunset's chest and glancing up at her. "To have the six of you in the house and all of our pets?"

Sunset smirked. "You wouldn't get a moment of peace."

As if the sentence had summoned them, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie came crashing into the living room at full force, a whirlwind of legs and arms. They toppled together from the hallway next to the TV, spilling onto the floor. Sunset spared them a glance just as her character mirrored them, falling lifeless to the ground. She sighed, setting the controller down on Fluttershy's stomach and facing the other two fully. Fluttershy sat up, raising an eyebrow at the two wrestling girls. Pinkie had Rainbow pinned to the ground, not seeming to mind Raibow's hands pushing at her face. Pinkie was making kissing noises between high-pitched giggles while the other yelled obscenities up at her smiling face.

"You take that back!" Rainbow demanded, writhing under Pinkie's grasp.

"Nope! You know I'm right!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do t--"

"Alright, alright!" Sunset shouted over the commotion, finally getting their attention. "What the hell are you two going on about?"

Pinkie Pie sat up, taking her hands off of Rainbow Dash's shoulders but keeping her pinned between her legs. She waved at Sunset and Fluttershy. "Oh, hey girls!"

Fluttershy gave a small wave back but said nothing as Rainbow Dash finally wriggled her way out from under Pinkie and got to her feet with a huff. Her cheeks were flushed red and the prismatic tank top she wore was wrinkled to oblivion after the scuffle; Rarity would rant about that for weeks. "Ugh, nothing!" she insisted, crossing her arms and looking at the floor. "Just a disagreement."

"Rainbow Dash is sad because I called her vanilla," Pinkie said a snicker, leaning back when Rainbow reeled on her.

"I am not vanilla!"

"Dashie! You're so vanilla I could turn you into a cupcake!"

"Shut up!"

Sunset sighed, rubbing two fingers to her temple. Wasn't summer break supposed to be relaxing? Thankfully, she had Fluttershy to balance out the chaos.

"What do you mean 'vanilla'?" Fluttershy asked.

"Y'know! Like she's not kinky!"

"No, I mean... how is she vanilla?"

"According to Pinkie," Rainbow interjected crossly, "telling her I don't want to have sex in the shower makes me vanilla."

Sunset exchanged a glance with Pinkie Pie, who rolled her eyes at Rainbow. "To be fair, Dash," Sunset began. "Shower sex is pretty 'vanilla' compared to some of the other things we've done."

"Exactly!" Pinkie cried, wrapping her arms around Sunset. "Thank you!"

"That's not the point!" Rainbow argued, reaching up and grabbing her own head in frustration. She sighed and took a breath, crossing her arms and looking at Sunset. "I'm just not too ready to jump into shower sex since the whole incident with you."

Sunset chuckled. "Is that all? Dash, I barely got hurt. Just a bruise."

"But you did get hurt! Like, yeah, bruises can be hot during sex but that wasn't a kinky bruise!" Rainbow Dash grimaced and looked at the ground. "It was dumb Rainbow-dropped-Sunset-in-the-shower bruise."

Fluttershy rose from the couch then and rested a gentle hand on Rainbow Dash's shoulder, staying silent until the other girl looked at her. "Rainbow Dash," Fluttershy said. "Mistakes happen. Sunset wasn't mad at you or anything."

"But I was mad at me."

"You shouldn't have been!" Pinkie said, breaking her short moment of silence. "Would you let any of us be mad at ourselves if we had done it?"

Rainbow Dash groaned. "No..." she grumbled.

"Soooo?"

After a beat, Rainbow Dash gave them a smile. "Fine, you got me. But I'm still not doing it in the shower again. For a while, anyway."

Pinkie made a "tch" sound and looked at Sunset. "Vuh-nil-laaa."

"No I'm not!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Sunset slapped her hands over her face, pressing herself into the arm of the couch she was still laying against. Back to square one.

"If you're not vanilla, prove it!"

"No shower, Pinkie!"

"Nononono," Pinkie said quickly. "I have something else in mind." Sunset uncovered her face just in time to see a smirk form on Pinkie's face and she was struck with anxiety.

Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes at her. "Go on."

"A bet."

"You're on."

"Um," Fluttershy murmured. "You don't know what the bet is, Dash."

"Doesn't matter," Dash said, lazily wrapping an arm over Fluttershy's shoulders. "I never back down from a bet, baby."

"Oh, I know," Fluttershy sighed. She nodded at Pinkie. "What's the bet?"

Pinkie Pie giggled, rubbing her hands together excitedly. "Okay! Here's the bet: Rainbow Dash and I are gonna see who can have sex on the most objects; y'know like tables, chairs, desks. Last one to admit defeat will be crowned Kinkiest Girlfriend!"

While Fluttershy flushed furiously, Sunset stood up and butted in, "Not to discourage what's sounds like an amazing experience for everyone involved, I'm pretty sure Applejack took that title when she made Twilight wear that vibrator during the Wondercolt Homecoming game."

"Fair enough," Pinkie resigned. "Then the winner will be crowned Second Kinkiest Girlfriend!"

Rainbow Dash was quiet for a moment, weighing her options. "So... whether I win or lose... we're gonna have, like, a lot of sex during this bet. Like... all seven of us."

Pinkie Pie beamed at her and nodded.

Sunset couldn't help the chill of anticipation that shot up her spine as she watched the two of them shake hands. This was going to be an... interesting time.
