Fluttershy entered the cabin with as much determination as she could muster. Her friends were trusting her to find a way to get their cutie marks back and save everypony, and that was exactly what she was going to do. That included everypony else living here as well. As nice as all the villagers were in this town, it was clear that Starlight Glimmer was manipulating them somehow. Pinkie Pie was right, something wasn't quite right here in this village. But how was she going to save them all?

"Somepony looks deep in thought," Starlight smiled at her, locking the door behind her. "Whatever is on your mind, dear? Surely you're not having second thoughts about joining us, right?"

"Oh no, of course not," Fluttershy replied, reminding herself that she had to keep up this act until she found a chance to rescue her friends, "I was just thinking about how welcoming everypony's been. This really is such a nice village you have here, Starlight".

"Well of course, we're all just so excited to have a new friend joining us," Starlight said as she circled the yellow pegasus, eyes prowling over her body. "I just hope all your so-called friends can eventually see the light and join us too".

"They are my friends!" Fluttershy replied instinctively, upset that Starlight would question their friendship.

"Oh, Fluttrershy," Starlight said, a look of pity in her eyes, "I know you still believe that, but don't worry. You'll see the truth soon enough".

"Wh-what do you mean," Fluttershy stuttered. Something about the way Starlight moved around her made her feel nervous. It reminded her of watching a cat stalk its prey.

"You'll see that we're your real friends," Starlight explained, brushing herself against the pegasus. "Me and all the other ponies in the village care about you and your safety. Those false friends you arrived here with, clearly they don't actually care about you at all".

"What? How can you say that? What makes you think they don't care about me?" Fluttershy asked angrily.

"Well, for one thing," Starlight's smile gleamed as brightly as her horn in the dim light of her cabin, "they let you come here with me all alone".

It was the last thing Fluttershy heard before feeling a needle pierce through her skin. Then everything went dark for the pegasus.

"Oh, I'm going to have fun with this one," Starlight thought darkly to herself as she wrapped her aura around the drugged pegasus and began to carry her to the guest room. Soon Fluttershy and all of her friends would be Starlight's. Just like everypony else in her village.

Fluttershy groaned as she woke up. She was laying on her stomach in an unfamiliar bed. Her head was throbbing, making it hard for her to think straight. She tried to remember what had happened to her, but thinking too hard just made the throbbing worse. She looked around, trying to figure out where she was. Starlight Glimmer was there.

"Oh good, you're awake," Starlight said when she noticed the mare begin to stir, "I was so worried when you took that nasty bump to the head".

"Bump to the head?" Fluttershy asked, unable to remember being hit on the head. She tried to bring a hoof up to feel for bumps, but discovered all four of her limbs appeared to be tied to the four corners of the bed she was on. Something about that seemed alarming somehow, but she couldn't quite place it. Her head really hurt.

"Oh yes, I was quite worried for you when it happened," Starlight spoke as she gently ran a hoof up and down Fluttershy's back. "Do you not remember?" she asked with apparent concern.

"Not really," Fluttershy responded truthfully, "last thing I remember was entering your house, and then everything is kind of fuzzy".

"Yes, I took you back to my house, intending to show you your room and then let you explore the village and get to meet all of your new friends," Starlight explained Fluttershy's missing memories to her. Starlight Glimmer was good at explaining things. "But it seems you had some ulterior motives when you said you wanted to join us, didn't you?" Starlight's voice sharpened as she said that last part.

Fluttershy gulped nervously, ashamed of trying to deceive a pony as nice as Starlight. Starlight Glimmer was always nice.

"As soon as we were alone, you tried to attack me, demanding I return all of your cutie marks," Starlight continued. Fluttershy was shocked to hear she had done something so rude to her generous host. "I didn't want to hurt you, so I dodged out of the way, and you flew straight into the wall behind me, knocking yourself out".

"I'm so sorry Starlight!" Fluttershy earnestly exclaimed, "I can't believe I would do something like that. I guess all the stress of trying to get our cutie marks back finally got to me".

"I understand Fluttershy, everypony living here knows how crazy cutie marks can make someponies behave. We were all once slaves to their lies," her hoof moved off her back and to her wings, caressing the sensitive appendages with tender care. Fluttershy was a little embarrassed that she was starting to get aroused by all this, and hoped Starlight wouldn't notice the growing dampness underneath Fluttershy's tail.

"I suppose it's partly my fault too," Starlight admitted, "usually I try to give new villagers a chance to acclimate to us and make the choice to give up their cutie mark on their own. But you six seemed so under your marks' thrall, I had no choice but to remove them by force before you hurt one of my friends," Starlight's eyes began to tear up, "I hope you can forgive me for doing that to you".

"Of course I forgive you, Starlight," Fluttershy responded instantly, not wanting to see her new friend cry, "that is, I mean, if you forgive me?"

Starlight hugged Fluttershy tightly, "Of course I forgive you too, Flutters. After all," her hoof traveled down Flutterhy's back and under her tail, "we're friends, right?"

Fluttershy squeaked as Starlight began to play with her. Starlight stroked her hoof teasingly up and down Fluttershy's lips before pushing into her. "What are you doing?" Fluttershy asked as she squirmed around on the bed, confused why Starlight was giving her a hoofing all of a sudden. She wished her head would stop hurting.

"We're friends, right?" Starlight spoke warmly into Fluttershy's ear, giving it a gentle nibble that made the mare moan even louder, "This is what friends do, isn't it? They make eachother feel good".

Of course that's what friends do. It made sense now that Fluttershy heard Starlight explain it. Starlight Glimmer always made sense. But then, why had none of her other friends ever made Fluttershy feel this good? Isn't this what friends do?

"Mmmm, you are positively gushing down here," Starlight said as she moved her head to get a good view of Fluttershy's rear, "I wonder if you taste as good as you look?"

With that, Starlight buried her snout in Fluttershy's plot and began to explore her new friend. She ran her tongue around Fluttershy's pussy, exploring every secret, unexplored crevice of the mare. Fluttershy felt herself orgasm multiple times as the unicorn feasted on her snatch. Fluttershy had never felt this good before, even the ache in her head was subsiding. She writhed in ecstasy on the bed, wings flapping uncontrollably as the ropes binding her to the bed held her down. Starlight nibbled on the mare's lower lips, flicked her tongue along her clit, thrust her tongue and hooves as deeply into her as possible, and then moved up to the mare's virgin ass and buried her face in it, tongue fucking the cute little butt. Fluttershy was going crazy, experiencing multiple and seemingly unceasing orgasms as the experienced unicorn put all of her oral skills to use on her.

When Starlight finished her meal, she crawled back up the other mare, laying herself on top of the bound pegasus. "So, how was I?" she asked teasingly into Fluttershy's ear.

"That was amazing Starlight. I've never felt anything like that before," Fluttershy responded honestly.

"What!" Starlight sounded surprised, "but surely you've done things like that with the other girls you were with? I thought you were friends?"

"Well, I mean, we are. I think, at least," Fluttershy responded, feeling a little confused again, "but it's just, friends don't usually do those kinds of things with each other. Right?"

"Dear, dear, dear. Sometimes I forget how backwards and uncaring the rest of Equestria can be," Starlight lied to the mare. "Didn't I tell you all I would show you what true friendship was? Well, consider that your first demonstration. You taste delicious, by the way".

"Thank you," Fluttershy giggled at the compliment. It always felt good to be complimented by Starlight Glimmer. "This really is the friendliest place I've ever been to. I'm so sorry that me and the other girls suspected you of hiding something."

"Not to worry, Fluttershy," Starlight comforted her new friend as she stood up and moved to the front of the mare. "Now, why don't you show me what a good friend you are?"

Starlight sat in front of Fluttershy and spread her legs invitingly. The pegasus understood exactly what her new friend wanted, and buried her face between the unicorn's legs. She lapped up the sweet nectar being offered, thinking it was the best thing she had ever tasted. It made her so happy to hear Starlight's moans of pleasure as she happily lapped up her juices. It made her happy to pleasure Starlight Glimmer. As Starlight sprayed Fluttershy's face with her climax, other hooves could be heard entering the room.

"What's going on, Starlight?" Fluttershy asked, not sure why she was feeling nervous suddenly.

"Why, it's your welcoming party, Fluttershy," Starlight said to the mare as the other villagers entered the room. "Aren't you excited to meet all your new friends? The first real friends you've ever had".

"Of course I am, Starlight," Fluttershy responded, understanding that all the villagers were here to share their friendship with her. Her tail raised excitedly as she watched all the stallions and mares approach the bed she was tied to, displaying their erections and arousal openly for her. Truly, she was fortunate to have so many friends to help each other feel good.

"I think you've already met Double Diamond and Sugar Belle," Starlight said as she moved off the bed and let herself be mounted by one of the other villagers, "why don't you show them what a good friend you're willing to be?"

Sugar Belle and Double Diamond climbed onto the bed, smiling as they took their places at separate ends of Fluttershy. They didn't bother to ask Starlight why the mare was tied up. Starlight Glimmer always knows what's best. As Fluttershy felt her first ever stallion enter her, she latched her mouth around Sugar Belle's waiting pussy and moaned happily into her snatch. She was so lucky to have so many friends, she mused as she was rutted.

Double Diamond shoved himself into Fluttershy, enjoying his first untouched pussy since he moved here. She was so much tighter than any of the mares in town, and most of the stallions too. It was so nice of Starlight to let him go first, but he knew he couldn't take too long inside of this new mare. He had lots of other friends who wanted to welcome her too. He fucked Fluttershy roughly, trying not to hog her. He leaned across her body to give his friend Sugar Belle a kiss. She seemed to be enjoying herself too, which made him happy to see. He liked Sugar Belle, at least as much as he did any of his other friends. Her muffins were nothing special, but than nothing in their town was. At least she always seemed happy to provide a blowjob and a quick rut to accompany his meal.

Sugar Belle smiled as the inexperienced tongue explored he cunt. This new mare was pretty cute, and Sugar Belle looked forward to seeing that faded pink mane between her legs a lot in the future. Still, Sugar Belle felt strangely guilty for reasons she couldn't quite understand. As she felt the tied up mare's face be violently thrust into her crotch by her friend, little whimpers of pain sending pleasing vibrations through Sugar Belle's crotch, she wondered what was bothering her. Sure, Sugar Belle, Night Glider, and Party Favor had been partly responsible for feeding into the suspicions those new girls felt, but they had quickly realized their mistake and told Starlight what they had done. Fortunately Starlight was able to stop those mares before any real damage was done to the harmony of their village, and even now Party Favor was with the others, telling them all about their little village. As Double Diamond shoved his tongue into her mouth and forced her into a kiss, she reflected how lucky she was that everything had worked out in the end.

Fluttershy was losing her mind as her first stallion rutted her. Part of her wished he would be a little more gentle, but she knew better than to try and change her friends. She had her first orgasm as Double Diamond came inside her, wasting no time pulling out of the mare and making room for another pony. Fluttershy focused on licking her friends pussy as she felt a new friend's weight above her. Fluttershy was a little confused as she felt her new friend's cock pressing against what she thought was the wrong hole. Suddenly her world was nothing but an explosion of pain as the stallion thrust himself mercilessly into her virgin ass. Fluttershy screamed as she thrashed around on the bed, feeling herself being torn apart by this new intruder. Fluttershy's tears were washed away by the mare in front of her dousing her as she climaxed. The feel of Fluttershy's screams against her had been the final trigger to send Sugar Belle over the edge. The mare moved off the bed and another stallion took her place. Fluttershy flashed him her best smile before he shoved his cock roughly down her throat. Fluttershy tried her best to breath as she focused on making her new friends happy. Starlight Glimmer was watching her, after all. She always tried her best for Starlight Glimmer.

As soon as Sugar Belle's hooves were all on the ground, she was mounted by another one of her friends. She didn't bother to see who it was fucking her, why would that even matter? Her friend Night Glider claimed she could tell every stallion in their village apart by the feel of their cocks inside of her, but to Sugar Belle one stallion felt the same as the other. Sugar Belle knew it was silly, but sometime she missed lying in bed with a stallion after sex, just cuddling and talking to one another. She scolded herself for thinking such selfish thoughts. Who was she to imagine she deserved to spend more time with any of her friends than any other pony. Once the mystery stallion above finished inside her and moved on, she made her way to where Starlight was now lying on her back, a different stallion roughly fucking her throat. Sugar Belle bent her head down toward the other unicorn mare and smiled as she started to clean Starlight's already well used pussy. Somehow, whenever she was having silly thoughts of guilt or nostalgia, having sex with Starlight always cleared up her head. Her smile widened as she felt another mares mouth lapping behind her. In the background, the new girl's screaming had died down, being replaced with the familiar sounds of pleasure and friendship. Sugar Belle was so happy to have such good friends.

Starlight Glimmer smiled contentedly as the night went on, watching as Fluttershy was shared by her entire town. When they weren't rutting the newest addition to her little utopia, all of her villagers shared their love freely with each other. Starlight herself lost track of how many stallions and mares made love to her that night.

They all loved Starlight Glimmer.

Fluttershy woke with a smile on her face. She stretched her legs, having been untied at some point in the course of the night to more easily please all her new friends. Last night had been wonderful, she had never felt so loved. She wondered how she had ever thought she had been happy before coming here. She had been so blinded by her cutie mark that she had foolishly believed all the lies about friendship she had been told. Now that she had experienced true friendship at last, there was only one thing left for her to do.

She had to share this new happiness with the other girls. Now that she understood that she had never really been friends with those other mares, she wanted them to join her in true friendship at last. She turned to where Starlight lay atop a pile of sleeping ponies, the other mare already awake and smiling eagerly at her.

"Starlight, everypony, I have a confession to make," Fluttershy confessed to the unicorn and the villagers who were starting to wake up, "I wasn't being honest when I said I wanted to join your village".

A chorus of gasps filled the air as the villagers reacted with surprise to their new friend's confession. Starlight Glimmer simply smiled and stared at Fluttershy.

"Me and the other girls were under the mistaken belief that Starlight was tricking you all somehow," Fluttershy explained, "I lied so that I could find a way to expose the truth". Tears began to streak down Fluttershy's face as she remembered what a fool she had been only a day earlier.

"But now I see the truth!" she exclaimed, "Thanks to Starlight and to all of you, I see that we were the ones being tricked. It was you, Starlight, who exposed the lies that I had so foolishly believed all my life. I want to thank you. But I also want to ask for one more favor from you".

"Why, whatever do you need, Fluttershy?" Starlight asked, "You know that I, and all you're other friends here, will do whatever we can to help you". The other ponies in the room murmured their agreement. They always agreed with Starlight Glimmer.

"Would you please help me show my old friends everything you've shown me?" Fluttershy begged, "Will you help me show them what true friendship is?"

"Oh Fluttershy," Starlight reassured her, "nothing would make me happier."

Starlight Glimmer smiled at her new friend. Starlight Glimmer was always happy to help.
