It was another sunny and cheerful day in Canterlot. The Pegasi had cleared the clouds, as per Princess Celestia’s Request, leaving just enough to give shade to some of the parks and fountains around the city. Unfortunately for one very specific, and very speed deprived Unicorn, the sun was really making it hard to want to think of Celestia as anything but a horrible tyrant that directed her sun to torment her specifically.

Cracking open her eyes, Ruby Haze let out a whimpering groan and turned over to hide away from the beam of celestial light that had, against all odds, lined up with her eyes throughout the course of the morning. Despite this, she had woken up and knew it would be more effort to drift off to Luna’s domain than it was worth, considering she probably wouldn’t even get the same dream.

The mare felt a soft flush start go glaze across her pale, off-white cheeks as her tired mind processed the dream she had just been rudely awoken from. Ruby could still smell the lingering scent of-

With a huff, she pulled her covers away and laid there, spread out, the rising heat flooding over her face. She hated feeling like this. “Damn you, Celestia!” Ruby groaned, aimlessly flopping her legs against the bed, partly to wake up and partly in a futile attempt to let the Alicorn know how much she had annoyed her.

Pushing herself up into a sitting position, Ruby rubbed her eyes with a hoof, letting out a yawn. After what would be considered a concerning amount of time, she flopped her legs over the edge of her bed and climbed off, yelping as she heard the metallic crunch of a can under her hoof and felt the spray of soda. “Horseapples…” she muttered under her breath, flicking her leg back and forth for a second.

Her room, she suspected, was much like any other freshly enrolled students. Cans of varying amount littered her desk, which ran along the side of the room, with a stack of unopened textbooks in the corner as well as a desk-lamp and clock. In front sat her chair, upon which was hung her saddlebags and her hoodie. The floor was relatively clean, only a few plates here and there to mare the plush carpet.

Off to on the other side of the room was the entrance to her bathroom, next to which sat the offending window. She was sure she had closed the curtains tight, yet a slither of Celestia’s burning light still managed to weave its way through. On the other side of the bathroom door was her room’s exit, which led to her dorm.

Stretching her neck, Ruby grimaced upon feeling, and hearing, several ’pops’ and ’clicks’. She snaked her hooves around the cans and plates to find her way into the bathroom for the start of her morning rituals.

Coming out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, she levitated her hoodie over in a shimmer of deep red. Sliding it on and zipping it up, Ruby pulled on her saddlebags and made for the door, remembering to flick open her curtains and open the window to let some fresh air in.

Exiting her room, she practically tip-toed out of the dorm. She didn’t want another ten-minute lecture on why she should ‘take better care off her mane’ or why ‘she should smile more’. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the memories of meeting her dorm-mates for the first time. It was quite an experience that the mare doubted she would forget anytime soon.

Despite that, Ruby couldn’t say that any of her dorm-mates were bad ponies, far from it. She just wasn’t as social as some ponies and could only handle bursts of activity at a time before it became grating. Despite this, she did manage to force herself to a few parties and, against her stubbornness, enjoyed some of them.

Even though she had been at the university for just under a month, the sight of Celestia’s School was still a magnificent, at least in her eyes. Numerous spires of deep purple and serene white towered hundreds of meters overhead as arches of polished marble meticulously connected various buildings around campus. Equestrian flags flicked to-and-fro high above, along with Celestia’s own cutie-mark.

Ruby found it slightly pretentious, but who was she to complain, it’s not like she could ever measure up to one of the rulers. Trotting up the hill towards the building where her class was about to start, she found a large group of students flocked around the entrance of the building.

Annoyance was already starting to bubble up inside of her at the prospect of being late for her class, but she also didn’t want to draw any attention to herself by pushing through the crowd. Still, trotting up to the group, she did awkwardly find a spot to stand, and once making sure she wasn’t touching anyone, found out that everypony was trying to get some well-dressed Unicorn’s attention.

The stallion in question was stood on top of a small, portable stage. On each side of the stage were posters advertising Canterlot’s newest nightclub: The Full Moon. The pony himself sported a black, pin-striped suit as well as a pair of aviator sunglasses with a slicked back mane.

“Alright!” the stallion called out in a thick, posh Canterlonian accent. “I only have one last ticket for a very lucky filly or colt!” At that, the sound of ponies clambering to win a ticket swelled around Ruby and she grew increasingly uncomfortable. “All you have to do is let me hear that you want it!” he shouted, still being able to be heard despite the volume of the students as they shouted in unison. “I can’t hear you!”

With that, Ruby grunted and tried her best to leave, her awkwardness having turned to annoying quickly enough. Pushing through, she found herself in front of the crowd, yet pressed up against the stage. Letting out a strained huff, she climbed up, ignoring the stallion as he closed in.

“Oh my!” he began, smirking. At that, Ruby froze solid and a thick blush forced itself across her face, contrasting against her pale coat. “Looks like we have a winner!” His eyes roamed Ruby’s figure for a split second, summing her up and giving a subtle nod. “Somepony doesn’t play by the rules, I see.”

“I- W-What…” she mumbled, still unable to turn towards the group of ponies that had slowly begun to disperse, little by little as the reality set in that they wouldn’t be winning the ticket.

“You’ve won the ticket,” he whispered into her ear while passing the ticket to her. “Aren’t you excited?!” he continued, announcing it louder this time to what little crowd remained. Again, he leaned in, “You’ll thank me, everypony does.”

***

Ruby Haze had been in the bathroom for well over twenty minutes since she had been let go and her nerves still hadn’t calmed down. She had expected to simply climb over and get to class, but instead had managed to somehow win a ticket to the nightclub. If she wasn't the one to win, she would have thought it was something out of a silly cartoon.

Said ticket was now hovering before her in her magic as she read over the conditions to try and calm herself down. ‘This ticket permits one pony entry to The Full Moon, for one night only. This ticket permits the user to free single shot drinks all night. Once claimed, this ticket is magically bound to the pony and cannot be transferred, sold, or destroyed until after the given date.‘ Ruby closed her eyes in slight annoyance. “Great, can’t even get rid of it. At least I will only have to wait until…” she whispered to herself, then turned the ticket over, “Tonight?!”

“Hey, keep it down!” a voice called out from the other stall, causing her to wince.

“Sorry.” Finding that her nerves had settled down enough, she climbed down from the toilet and exited, still reading the ticket. Despite how much ponies wanted the ticket, it was basically worthless once magically bound to a pony, so Ruby found no trouble reading it in public. ‘The hottest new club… blah blah… filler text…”

Shaking her head, she slipped the ticket into her saddlebag and wandered off to where her next class would be held. The mare had already missed twenty minutes of her first period, so she simply found no point in going.

Even as Ruby waited, her thoughts kept drifting back to the ticket. She had heard of the ‘The Full Moon’ in passing, as well as Princess Luna, but she couldn’t really remember that well. The mare shrugged, if she couldn’t remember it, then it must not be that important, right?

***

Ruby found herself sighing while she gazed at herself in her bathroom mirror. Her eyes scoured every part of her and found basically nothing but imperfections along the way; from the tip of her horn to the round of her rump. The mare didn’t go out much, that was at least obvious, but when she did, she quickly dubbed this part of the night the ‘self-loathing hour’.

Pushing to find something, anything attractive about herself, her eyes flicked up to her horn which was half-hidden by her dark red mane. “It’s well maintained, I guess…” Ruby muttered, finding herself staring into her own eyes. A quick ‘bang’ broke her out of the moment, and she glanced over to her door with confusion.

Opening it, she peeked outside and saw her pink-coated dorm-mate, Cinnamon Eclipse collapsed on the floor with a comically large suitcase on top of her. The mare, to Ruby, was way too cheerful for her liking, always seemingly whistling a tune as her salmon and aqua tinted mane bobbed back and forth.

Ruby started to close the door, at least until an idea hit her. The ticket would be a complete waste if she didn’t go, but she knew next to nothing about making herself look even slightly attractive… but Cinnamon did.

Peeking out of the door, she saw the poor mare struggle with the case, her own magic seemingly unable to lift it. Swallowing her awkwardness, Ruby exited her room and neared the prone mare. Her horn lit up with her usual deep crimson and began to levitate the suitcase off Cinnamon, helping her. “Are you okay?” Ruby asked, holding out a hoof.

“O-Oh, thank you!” Cinnamon said, her mood instantly changing from grumpy to cheerful. She guided Ruby to place the suitcase outside of her room and turned her attention back to the mare. “Ruby, right? I haven’t seen you in a while, which is so strange as you’re directly opposite my room!” Cinnamon giggled and placed a hoof on Ruby’s shoulder, forcing her to tense up. “Anyway, thanks. I’m not the best with levitation spells, never have been. Daddy says it’s okay though, I’m much better at emotion spells!”

Ruby had to admit, despite the sheer happiness that Cinnamon was exuding, she didn’t seem as bad as she thought the mare would be. “Uh, no problem,” she replied, letting out her own awkward chuckle and moving back ever so slightly so Cinnamon’s hoof fell away. “I, uh, was wondering if you could help me out a little…”

Cinnamon could almost taste the awkwardness in the air, but let it go. She knew that she made some ponies uncomfortable. “Oh? Sure, I don’t mind helping. What’cha need help with?” The mare used her magic to open her own room and slide the suitcase in, humming a little.

Rubbing the back of her neck with a hoof, Ruby’s heart thumped in her chest as she replied with, “I’m going out tonight and I really, kind of suck at making myself look good… so can you do that? You know, make me look nice and whatever?” Those words were completely unfamiliar and felt wrong to say. But, if she was going to the hottest spot in Canterlot then she reckoned she must have to at least look better than she normally did.

Cinnamon blinked, then her smile widened into a grin. “Yes! Of course I’ll help!” She gasped, leaning in and pulling the mare into her room.

Ruby yelped and stumbled into Cinnamon’s room, just about missing the lamp and stopping short of the bed. “Look, I don’t want anything drastic, alright… I’ve never really done this before a-“

She was cut off as a hoof was pressed over her mouth. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you look amazing!” Cinnamon giggled. If she saw the flush wash over Ruby’s face, she didn’t mention it. Within an instant, she pulled the awkward mare over and sat her down at her desk, where several mirrors and styling bags sat. “Now, with this being Canterlot of all places, it wouldn’t do to be seen without at least a modicum of style,” she stated, almost as a matter of fact. Moving Ruby’s mane out of her face, Cinnamon gasped and practically squealed. “How could you hide your eyes, they’re so vibrant!”

Feeling her face flush once again, she looked down to her lap, then into one of the side mirrors that reflected Cinnamon’s excited grin. “Y-You really think so?”

“Duh!” was all the pink mare replied with, giggling, before pulling Ruby’s mane into a ponytail and humming in thought. Ruby grimaced internally at the thought of how long this would take.

***

Despite all of the reluctant squirming, refusal for some beauty products which forced Cinnamon to find alternatives, and Ruby's awkwardness, they had finally finished. "See, it wasn't so bad!" Cinnamon stated, almost glowing from being able to help her dorm-mate come out of her self-imposed shell.

"That's easy for you to say. You weren't poked and burned..." Ruby replied, looking at herself in the full length mirror. Her eyes scanned her body and after a few seconds, she felt the corners of her lips curl ever so slightly at the sight. Her hooves were immaculate, her mane and tail brushed, conditioned and styled into a cute bun, with a few strands floating down on both sides to frame her face . "It's alright, I guess."

"Perfect!" Cinnamon gasped, hopping up and down behind her. "You'll be the best looking pony there, I'm sure of it," she continued, placing a hoof of Ruby's shoulder. She still elicited the same tense up, but not as much. "You never said where you're going. A dorm party?"

Ruby blinked and then looked worried. The makeover took her mind off of the ticket, even though that was the whole cause for it. "Oh, yeah. The Full Moon."

Cinnamon's eyes widened in shock. "T-The Full Moon! That's only the most prestigious- How?! Did you get an invite?"

"Nope. I accidentally won a ticket to get in, this morning."

Looking like she was about to faint, Cinnamon sat down on her bed. "I'm so jealous... There's rumours that Princess Luna will be there." she pouted, then huffed, her hoof hitting the bed. "But, who knows. Maybe you'll get to meet her. Wouldn't that be amazing." Cinnamon couldn't help but let out a dreamy sigh.

"As if. Luna's a princess. She doesn't concern herself with first year students. We're basically foals to her."

"If you don't try, you'll never know! Plus," Cinnamon said, sliding over. "I'm sure you'll be able to catch her eye with your beauty, Ruby."

Ruby had a hard time believing that, but smiled anyway. She had barely kissed anypony back home and even then it was mainly for a dare. For all of the 'beauty' she had, no pony seemed to want her. "Thanks, Cinn."

"No problem, bestie!" the mare replied, grinning as she jumped back in the bed, causing Ruby to looked shocked. "I've chosen you now. Can't take it back," Cinnamon laughed. She pulled a stuffed dragon over and hugged it tightly.

***

Ruby had begun to grumble under her breath as she waited in line. Even though Cinnamon had forced her to bring one of her coats, the unicorn was still freezing her rump off and her thoughts had drifted plenty of times to simply ditching. Yet, Ruby couldn't just scrap all the arduous work Cinnamon had put into her, even if she couldn't feel her nethers and was sure her teats had frozen off.

Ruby, more than anything, felt awkward. She was more used to being alone, but not really in this sort of situation and the pressure was beginning to get to her more and more as the line moved along.

She eventually made it to the front of the queue and looked up at the Minotaur bounder, who stared down at her. "Ticket." her ears flipped down at its booming voice and she levitated the ticket to him in her quivering magic. "You may enter."

The doors next to her slid open effortlessly and the warmth of the nightclub, not to mention the pounding techno, hit her. With her ears still flipped down, Ruby put one hoof in front of the other and entered the club.

Instantly she noticed she was in some sort of entrance-way, with a coat room off to the left side, with a Pegasus working there, and the double doors to the club proper in front of her. The music was thumping, even from here and she could feel the beat in her chest.

The pony at the desk smiled and waved. "Coat, ma'am?" he asked, gesturing for her to take it off. Even with the music, Ruby seemed to hear him fine and chalked it up to some enchantment of some sort. "Ticket, please."

Passing it over, she saw the Pegasus tear the ticket up and winced as she felt a burning sensation on her front leg. Gazing down, she saw a flawless purple Ruby embedded in her leg.

"Don't worry, it'll be gone by the morning! It's just to keep track of you if anything happens. Plus, to make sure you can get your drinks," the stallion answered, seeing her concern. "Everypony asks that. Go and have fun!"

With that said, the doors in front of Ruby opened, letting her feel the pure beat of the music which vibrated her entire being. Swallowing her nerves deep down, the mare took a few hesitant steps forward and entered the club proper.

She couldn't believe how many ponies could actually fit in this place. From the outside it didn't even look that much larger than one of her lecture halls, but it was so much bigger on the inside! Wincing at the flashing strobe lights, Ruby brushed past a couple of ponies making out and made towards the bar. She knew that if she was to enjoy herself and actually look like she knew what she was doing, she'd need a few drinks in her.

Ruby weaved in and out of ponies like only an expert that avoided them could and slid up to the bar. As she'd expected, it was packed. With no room for herself to order, the mare simply waited... And waited... For her chance to get a drink.

That was, until she felt somepony nudge up against her. Turning, she saw a navy blue unicorn mare with a light blue mane standing beside her. Ruby squeaked, finding herself staring at the confidence filled smile. Her eyes instinctively flowed over the other's taut, yet supple body, finding herself heating up.

"You... forceful..."

Ruby blinked and shook her head a little, feeling her cheeks warm up. "S-Sorry, what was that?" she asked, giving a bashful look.

The other pony let out a soft, almost twinkling giggle, to which Ruby felt her heartbeat quicken. "You need to be more forceful. No pony will move for you unless you wedge yourself in there!" The mare leaned in, lips close to Ruby's ear and asked, "What do you want?"

Ruby's mind went blank and for a second she felt like the dumbest filly in the world. "Uh, S-Surprise me?"

The pony's brow rose slightly as she grinned. "Okay! Don't move!" With that, the pony moved away and almost effortlessly thrust herself into the rabid pack of ponies, wiggling her rump.

Ruby nibbled on her bottom lip and pulled on the mane that framed her face out of nervousness. Was she really talking to a gorgeous mare already; she had only been there for less than ten minutes. Before she could overthink anything too much, the unicorn was back, two drinks levitating in her magic.

The unicorn moved over then offered one of the drinks to her, who accepted with a smile, and gestured to follow. "Follow me" she said, grinning and moving away from the bar.

Ruby nodded and did as she was told, following close behind. In spite of her best efforts, the mare's eyes flicked over to the other's rump, before looking away. She honestly didn't know if this was a dream or reality and she doubted she even cared.

The pony slid into a booth and leaned out with her hoof, to which Ruby held onto as she was pulled in. She felt a buzz over her horn, the wash of magic flow over her body and the mind numbing music fade away into a soft beat.

Ruby let out a breath she didn't know she had held and glanced down to see her holding onto the other's hoof. With a wince, she let out and heard the mare's laugh.

"Don't worry so much!" she said, smiling. "I don't bite." She took a sip and continued with, "Sweet Dreams, it's lovely to meet you."

"O-Oh, Ruby Haze..." she replied, making eye contact for all but a millisecond and breaking it as her blush seemed to cover her entire face. "Thank you... For the drink."

"My pleasure," Sweet replied, watching as Ruby took her own sip and nearly choked at the taste. "Don't like it? I can get you something else if you want?" she asked, beginning to slide out of the other side.

"No!" Ruby replied, quickly catching herself. "I mean, it's okay. I haven't drunk in a while." she quickly looked down into the drink, awkwardness taking over. 'Stupid...'

Waiting for just a second, Sweet slid back around, this time closer to Ruby and continued to sip. "So, what's a mare like you doing in a place like this?" she asked, tilting her head curiously. "You don't seem the type to be here... Not that it's a terrible thing at all."

'Wait, what?' Ruby thought, looking up to Sweet. "I, uh, won a ticket," she replied, honestly. "I didn't mean to. I don't go to a lot of parties."

Sweet couldn't help but giggle into a hoof at that. "I would have thought you'd have all the mares and stallions looking this hot?"

Once again she could feel her face flushed crimson. "I... Uh..." she squeaked and sipped more of her drink, trying not to embarrass herself further. She was beginning to think it wasn't working.

"So, Ruby, tell me. What do you do? Judging by your cutie-mark, something with... Gems?" Sweet asked, a warmer smile drifting onto her face.

Ruby blinked and she glanced up to meet Sweets gaze. She was interested in what she did? "I just started at the University. I'm studying Gem Metaphysics... Most ponies find it boring..."

Sweet shook her head. "I think it's fascinating. Really," she replied, shifting over slightly and brushing their flanks together.

Ruby's eyes widened quickly at that. "Really?" she asked, shocked. With one whole gulp, she downed her drink, having given up on pacing herself. "I mean, I'm happy you think so." It was clear that the drink was starting to kick in. "What, uh. What do you do? Are you a student, or?"

Seeing Ruby down her drink, Sweet did it to her own. "I'll tell you in a second, once I get us some more drinks..." she said, sliding out over Ruby's lap, Sweet's rump brushing against her as her mane brushed over Ruby's face.

Ruby shivered at the feeling, able to smell the scent of morning dew and lilies. She sat there, nor daring to move from the spot until the mare was back, mentally chastising herself for being so awkwardly useless. "Come on, Ruby... You got yourself prettied up for this!" she hissed at herself, trying not to draw attention from those that were bumping and grinding just outside of the booth.

No more than two minutes later, Sweet Dreams had arrived back, a pair of familiar drinks hovering just in front of her. "Ruby!" she laughed, placing the drinks down and sliding back in, this time facing the mare, a grin on her face. Once she was in, she turned and scooted up to and against Ruby, giving a cheeky nuzzle to her neck. "You smell nice..." the darker mare whispered, humming while she ran a hoof over Ruby's chest floof.

This wasn't something Ruby was prepared for, but the alcohol was leaving her with a warm buzz that was making it hard to think. So, deciding that she'd probably never come back to this place, she threw caution to the wind and downed the next drink in one fell swoop, leaving Sweet to blink at the action. Ruby shivered as the drink hit her stomach, filling her with a quick burst of energy. She moved her hoof over whilst she turned her head to gaze down at the mare next to her, then gently pulled Sweet's gaze up to sate into her eyes.

Sweet's eyes widened as Ruby's soft lips pressed against her own in a delicate display. She could feel that Ruby was shivering, despite the drinks and simply slid a leg around her neck, letting her know that she didn't make a mistake. After that quick shock, she melted into the kiss, and pulled herself into it, lips parting ever so slightly as the world around them fell away. Sweet scooted up to get herself more comfortably as their horns slid against each other, magic arcing across their surfaces. Ruby's lips parted along with Sweet's and she turned her head to tenderly grow more forceful, a wisp of a moan leaving her throat from the contact.

Eventually though, Ruby had to pull away to breathe, leaving Sweets sitting there, her eyes still closed. "W-Was that alright?" she asked, instantly groaning internally. 'Was that alright?! I'm such a dork.'

Sweet fluttered her eyes open, darkened fur naturally hiding her flushed cheeks. "Yeah," she whispered, hoof brushing over Ruby's mane. "That was better than I expected..."

"Really?" was the response to that, until she realized how she sounded and continued, "I mean, o-of course."

She received a small giggle out of Sweet at that, from which Ruby was sure she could feel her heart stop. "Indeed. W- I was expecting something much less... Intimate than that. Not that I'm complaining."

Ruby didn't seem to notice the slip up, only managing a bashful nod. "That was, uh... My first time actually doing that."

Sweet couldn't help but show her surprise again, even as her hoof continued to brush along Ruby's chest floof and neck. "You could have surprised us," she laughed, nuzzling deep against Ruby's neck to inhale her scent, shivering after. "Don't worry..." she whispered.

A few seconds passed and Sweet pulled back, grinning. "Wanna get out of here? I've got something I want to show you!" she asked, though it was more of an order considering she was already climbing over Ruby once again and leaving the booth.

Ruby had no choice but to follow after her, not wanting to lose the mare in the sea of dancing ponies. Stumbling along, she somehow made it back to the lobby, Sweet's form pressed up against her for warmth. The stallion working behind the counter pulled Ruby's coat out and passed it over to her, causing the jewel in the mare's arm to shrink and fade away. Ruby winced, but the gentle warmth of Sweet's presence stopped her from feeling too much pain.

Sweet was the one to levitate the coat up and over, placing it around the mare at her side and giving her a gentle nuzzle.

"Thank you," Ruby whispered, smiling warmly at Sweet and returning the nuzzle.

The Pegasus nodded towards Sweet with a knowing smile. "Ma'am." His smile was returned with a grin from the mare as she pulled Ruby out of the club and into the cold Canterlot night.

Leaning against Sweet for support, Ruby could feel her vision start to distort. She knew it was probably a bad idea to have had that second drink, but she knew it was too late now. "What did you want to show me?" she asked, stumbling over her words.

Sweet giggled and rolled her eyes at the attempt to speak normally. Ruby was growing increasingly adorable and she was having a challenging time stopping herself from simply teleporting them to her abode, though the wind was quickly changing her mind.

"Well... cover your eyes, cutie," she asked, running a hoof along Ruby's cheek. "Trust me, okay?"

Ruby couldn't take her eyes off of the mare in front of her and nodded, almost instinctively. There was an aura around her that simply made Ruby want to obey. Doing as she was told and closing her eyes, she could see a bright flash and grew confused. 'Wait, is she a Changeling?!'

Quickly opening her eyes in slight panic, Ruby froze solid. In front of her was the Princess of the night, the royal regent herself, Luna! There was no doubt to the cogs in her head creaking to a stop and smashing apart from the sheer weight of the situation she was in; either this was a Changeling, or it actually was Luna. Either way, she didn't know how to respond, her mouth flapping away like a fish out of water.

"Wha..." she said, eyes staring at the Princess, who was now beginning to grow a little worried.

"I've broken you, haven't I?" she asked, biting her lower lip. After an uncomfortable few seconds, she moved a hoof closer and asked, "Please say something."

Ruby's mind cranked back into action after those words, the mare's aura flowing over her even though she seemed worried. Changelings weren't worried about ponies, so that meant option two! Ruby shook her head and inhaled the frigid air to get some sense into herself, before replying. "L-Lun-"

With a yelp, her mouth was covered by Luna's warm and delicate hoof, stopping her from finishing. "Don't... I'm still Sweet Dreams to everypony else..." the Princess explained, her voice quiet. Glancing around to some of the other party-goers, none of them seemed that interested and their attention was firmly on the ones they were with instead of the beautiful Princess in front of them.

Mumbling into the hoof, couldn't take her eyes off to the Alicorn. The way her mane defied the wind around them. Those sparkling, seemingly all-knowing eyes that threatened to swallow the mare right up if she wasn't careful. The toned, slender body that was hitting all the right buttons for her. 'She's perfect...' Ruby thought to herself, only now realizing that she couldn't say anything.

Pulling back slightly with her face horribly red, she nodded. "I... Why?" was all she could ask, her brain till creaking along slowly. Why her.

"You're beautiful and in a nightclub. What more do I need?" Luna replied, unable to stop a laugh from leaving her mouth. "I saw you standing there, and you looked just like the first time I journeyed to a club." The Princess took a step forward, causing Ruby to take one back. "I was sick of ponies always trying to eat my rump."

"K-Kiss..."

Luna looked confused, until she realized her mistake. "Oh! Oh... I've been making that mistake a lot. I should probably have a word with 'Tia at some point..." she mumbled, glancing away for a second in thought. Turning back, she let her hoof drop to the cobble and she simply smiled now. "I can go, if you wish?"

"No!" Ruby replied, moving closer and causing a few ponies to look over in their direction. "No, you just took me by surprise. I never expected a Princess, let alone you. I thought I'd just go in, get wasted and stumble back to my dorm."

Luna's smile had wavered at the mention of her being a princess but perked back up at Ruby's expectations for the night. Letting out a soft, twinkling laugh, Luna shook her head. "Neigh, Ruby. You won't be going back to your dorm tonight. You will be with us."

Now, Ruby would usually be uncomfortable from those words, but something about them coming from the Princess soothed her. Unfortunately for her, she'd need a lot of soothing as she was currently fighting with her cheeks as to what colour her fur should be. "I... Wow, uh, okay..." she muttered in quick succession, not taking time to breath until a hoof gently took hold of her shoulder, calming her.

"Ruby, calm yourself," Luna ordered. Her horn glowed a deep blue and Ruby felt a comforting warmth flow over her. Her heart slowed and she caught her breath.

"I- I'm sorry," she said, sighing a little. "I can't help but get worked up."

"Oh, trust me when I say," Luna began, her voice turning sultry and forcing Ruby to shudder. "You're not worked up yet."

NSFW starts here *** NSFW starts here

Within a flash of light, the pair had appeared inside Luna’s very own bedchambers. Most ponies would have expected something extravagant, much like her sister, but Luna’s chambers were sparsely furnished, more akin to something back when she had banished. Of course, the four-poster bed sat off to the centre of the circular room, queen sized with dark silk covers and pillows of the softest Pegasus feathers.

The rest of the room held the various furniture that one would expect in any pony’s room. A fireplace, already set with several logs, surrounded by a few cushions for comfort. A writing desk was pushed up against the wall, covered with parchment that seemed to cascade down onto the polished marble floor below.

Ruby wobbled on her hooves, not actually expecting to have been teleported. She shook her head and let out a soft, but rather audible groan. “W-Warn me before you do that…” she mumbled, holding a hoof to her head. The mare’s eyes widened seeing where she was, finally and gasped. “It’s beautiful!” she gasped, eyes trailing up the obsidian black walls to see an almost mirror image of the night sky.

Luna fluttered her wings, practically beaming from the praise. “I-I’m glad you like it.” Her horn lit up and Ruby felt her coat begin to slide off of herself. “I hope you don’t mind?” Luna asked, levitating it over and placing it down on the back of the chair next to her desk.

“Oh, not at all,” Ruby replied, breathing deep and moving closer to the larger mare. “You’re,” she started, voice quivering, “more than I imagined.” She couldn’t really tell but hoped that she wasn’t making a fool of herself, though the more she stood in Luna’s presence, the less she seemed to care.

Luna’s lips curled into a devilish smirk. “Oh? And what did you expect?” she asked, leaning down slightly and pressing her lips against Ruby’s neck, causing her to let out a soft gasp.

Ruby quickly found that it was suddenly very difficult to formulate the right words with Luna’s lips pressing against her neck and simply replied with a light moan, her cheeks blazing crimson, visible even in the moonlit room.

“As I expected,” Luna cooed, bringing her hoof up and running it along Ruby’s cheek. “Tonight, I’m not your Princess, I’m you’re lover.”

With that, Ruby leaned into the hoof and chewed on her bottom lip, feeling the coolness of her own arousal dribbling down her back leg. The sheer dominating presence of the Alicorn was enough for Ruby to find herself growing more submissive by the second and she was pretty sure Luna knew.

“You do not need to worry here, Ruby, my sweet,” Luna purred, beginning to circle the poor mare. “Nopony will disturb up for the rest of the night. You’re all mine…” The Princess let that hang in the air as her magic brushed over Ruby’s cutie-mark, causing the mare to squeak and for her tail to flick back and forth, very eager to raise. “So very cute,” she giggled. With each step the princess took, her eyes appraised the shivering mare and found her up quite up to par.

Smirking, Luna finally stopped back in front of Ruby and stared down at her, a mixture of warmth and love evident in her eyes, along with a hint of arousal. “Ruby,” she said, waiting for her to gaze up, “lower yourself down and push your rump up so we may see thine nethers,” Luna commanded, not realising she had flipped back into her old dialect. Despite her calm outwards appearance, her own marehood had become slick with arousal quite some time ago.

Ruby didn’t know if her face could grow any warmer, but she would most likely find out. With a nod, she slowly lowered her front half and pushed her rump upwards. “L-Like this?” she asked, her tail instinctively raising and flopping over her back, the underside dripping with her juices. The mare’s own pale pussy was perfectly plump, engorged and drooling a small pool onto the floor. Ruby shivered, feeling the cool air of the room flow against her rear and panted, waiting for Luna to do something.

Finding a rush from watching the young, inexperienced mare do as she was told, Luna let out a soft hum and moved around to gaze upon Ruby’s rear. She could practically smell the sheer need emanating off of her and decided to treat the mare for her first act of obedience.

The Princess leaned down, mere inches the poor pony’s pussy and stuck her tongue out. She closed her eyes and pressed her tongue against that slit, before dragging it up to the top and pulling away. With a moan of her own, Luna swished Ruby’s taste around her mouth, enjoying her ever so slightly tangy flavour.

Ruby on the other hoof let out a long moan as electric pleasure crackled through her nerves, almost causing her legs to buckle beneath her. Her coat grew damp with sweat and she panted, not having expected that at all. “P-Princ- “

She was cut off by Luna gently tapping her cutie-mark. “Oh no, our sweet, we art not thine Princess.” Luna leaned over the mare and purred into her ear, “call us thine mistress.”

Ruby let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding and nodded. “Y-Yes, Pr- mistress…” she replied, finding herself slowly out of her depth.

“But before any more fun can begin. We must let thee know that we care for thee, our sweet.” With that, Luna pressed her lips to Ruby’s own, her magic rubbing over Ruby’s slit, teasing her with light touches here and there.

Ruby’s mind was growing foggy as she felt Luna pull away. She could definitely feel the care and warmth flow from the mare, even through the aura of confidence that simply oozed from everywhere and it practically forced her to want to obey. She had no experience with this sort of thing, but if the Princess knew what she was doing, it couldn’t be that bad, right?

“We see that thou art nary but a common street harlot, Ruby, leaking all over our bedchambers like a mare in heat. What doth thou hath to say for thyself?” Luna asked, taking a set back and narrowing her eyes, even as her magic pressed against Ruby’s aching snatch.

“A-Ah…” she moaned, biting down on her lip and unable to stop herself squirming. “Mistress… I’m sorry…”

Luna’s eyes sparkled a little brighter as Ruby spoke those words and she found her heart beating faster. “We art not impressed by thy words. We do not believe thou art truly sorry. We demand that thou make it up to us!” Luna trotted over to the edge of the bed, her hips swaying back and forth to tempt Ruby, and sat down. “Come and sit, our sweet,” she commanded, pointing to the spot in front of her.

Ruby swallowed and made her way over, leaving a trail behind her. Sitting down, she shivered as the cold stone made contact, then gazed up at Luna, finding the moon seemingly framed around the mare.

Luna opened her legs up for Ruby, revealing her own twitching, leaking marehood. “Thou will please us, to make up for the mess thou hath created,” she stated, giving no option for refusal now. “Please us and we might consider letting thou some release…”

Ruby was horribly aroused and the mere thought of being left like this for the night was seemingly too much to bare. Despite that, she hesitated. She had never actually done anything with a mare before and didn’t even know where to start. That was until she felt Luna’s magic drift over the back of her head, brushing through her mane.

“Do not worry, our sweet. We shall guide thee,” Luna said, smiling down at her. All at once, she felt her fears fall away. She was still a bit hesitant, but with Luna’s guidance she didn’t feel like she’d make a fool of herself.

Now leaning in, Ruby took hold of Luna’s thighs and received a deep inhale from the Princess. She let the Princess’s magic move her muzzle against those damp folds and opened her mouth, her tongue instantly bursting with flavour that filled her head with stars! She began lapping away at her treat, her tongue occasionally slicking in to cause Luna to gasp and shiver.

“Good mare,” Luna praised, using her hoof to brush through her sweet’s mane, keeping her close. Though, she felt one of Ruby’s hooves slide away from her thigh and down to her own nether. Luna quickly put a stop to that and used her magic to not let her touch herself, leading her to let out a soft whine. “We say when thou can touch thyself.”

Ruby’s arousal was overflowing from her and she was sure it would eventually burn her up. Her coat was slick with sweat as she squirmed, trying to rub herself on the smooth floor, but gaining no relief from the fire within. “M-Mistress…” she whimpered, Luna’s pussy muffling her voice.

Luna, in spite of all of her commanding presence and seemingly serene appearance, was feeling herself twist and shudder in secret pleasure. Ruby’s sloppy but eager tongue had begun to slip inside of her quivering, royal pussy, grinding against her walls with inexperience that only added to the rush that she felt. “Thee art good with thine tongue, Ruby. We may be pleased yet!” she stated, her own voice starting to crack a little from each lick and thrust of Ruby’s tongue. “D-Do not stop.”

The mare in question did as she was told and eagerly continued, not wanting to disappoint her mistress of the night. She quickened her pace and pressed her tongue in as far as she could to really dig deep and hit the Princess’s sweet spot. Ruby was rewarded with a quick buck from Luna’s hips and she emulated her moves, her own hips continuing to squirm as her aching, burning need flourished.

The Princess gasped and held her grip on the back of Ruby’s head tighter, forcing her face against her marehood harder, grinding herself against the mare as pleasure erupted from her very core when Ruby nudged against her clit. “Mmpffff!” Luna whimpered, clenching her eyes shut and biting her lower lip hard enough to hurt. “By the divines!” The mare fell back onto the bed and panted, her chest heaving as her vision returned to her.

Ruby, being pulled back with Luna’s magic, felt herself being led up onto the bed, leaving a pool of arousal behind on the floor, her rump moist. “Mistress…” she whispered, face completely scarlet. Ruby stood on the bed, looking down at the Princess who had a look of bliss etched onto her face.

“Ruby,” Luna cooed, rising up and pressing her lips to the pale mare’s own. She tasted herself and wrapped a leg around her neck to hold her there. She pressed her tongue against Ruby’s lips, asking for permission and slid in once the mare accepted, her larger tongue taking control and playing around. Luna’s magic rolled the mare onto her back and she scooted closer.

After a moment that both of them had to collect themselves from; Luna stared deep into Ruby’s eyes and kissed her on the tip of her muzzle. Her hoof brushed down her pet's chest, taking a second to rub over her teats, eliciting a whimpering moan from the shivering mare.

To Ruby, it felt like an eternity until Luna’s hoof slid against her sensitive marehood, placing pressure on her aching lips, causing her to let out a low rumbling moan and for her head to roll back. Ruby’s hips instantly thrust upwards into Luna’s hoof, trying her best to get the much-needed release that was plaguing her.

Luna’s hoof pressed down and began to rub in circles, the soft edge of her hoof brushing against Ruby’s ruby now and again, earning her cute gasps and shivers. She leaned down and kissed the mare once more, sliding her tongue in while continuing to rub her, the covers underneath them having become beyond damp with their play. “Mmm,” Luna hummed, pulling back and opening her eyes. “Thee may come,” she said, lighting up her horn and wrapping her magic around Ruby’s clit, vibrating softly.

The effect was instantaneous as the mare’s body grew tense and arched her back. Ripples of electric pleasure coursed through her nerves, lighting up her vision in a flash of white! She let out a voiceless cry of ecstasy as the world fell away around her, leaving only herself and Luna.
