My Life on a Cassette Tape

"Once again, I'd like to thank you all for the wonderful celebrations. It certainly was a pleasant distraction from matters of state." Celestia said with a smile. "I wish we could stay longer, but with the matter settled we're only here on borrowed time. We still have to make a stop by the Dragon Lands for appearances sake."

"Of course, Princesses, we wouldn't dream of taking more of your time than you deem fit." Twilight replied with a smile before darting forward and hugging her now clothed mentor deeply. From my position on the sidelines I just barely made out her final words to Celestia. "Thank you for staying as long as you did." Celestia returned the embrace. A small part of me wondered if Twilight's rationale for asking Celestia to stay wasn't because of the sexy, but perhaps in spite of it.

The hug ended shortly, the two princesses looking at each other with a smile, one of a mother while the other was of a child or fond student. I felt a tad bit of the pain of Twilight as she watched her mentor leave, a part of me knowing something of the pain. Fortunately for me, I had a Raven to hug a little tighter.

"I wish you all a good evening." Celestia said to the rest of us as her sister began to turn without her own independent goodbye. "Oh, and before we go." I perked up at that, my attention returning from Raven. "Rousing Crescendo, was it? Would you please meet with me for a moment? I have a few words I'd like to share in private." What was it with me and having private meetings with ponies? At least this one made some sense in context. She likely just needed to confirm that I wouldn't be going about bragging about fucking the princesses of Equestria. Once more I let go of Raven, kissing her on the cheek before heading over, following Celestia into a different room than I had followed Testing into.

The door closing behind me got me a tad spooked, but I brushed it off as just another measure in the 'private' part of 'private meeting'. Celestia turned to me, a serious expression across her features. I suddenly felt very small and very wrong about what I had guessed the meeting was about. This wasn't helped when I saw Luna's horn glowing brilliantly.

"Are you controlling the minds of the ponies in there?" Celestia asked me pointedly, setting more than a few alarm bells off in my head. The memory of the change in the recording not feeling quite right rushed back, and now I was terrified that I wouldn't have to worry about if I'd actually stop fucking princesses.

"I am controlling the minds of some of the ponies in there." I replied, my voice monotone and beyond my control. I couldn't help but notice Luna's smile at this. I... I was under some sort of interrogation spell or something. Those were illegal by majority, but that fact was little comfort before two princesses who could send heavenly bodies crashing down on my head.

"Well, sister, I suppose that ends that. We can deal with him and release the others before we even have to leave." Luna said, her smile far more menacing than I liked. "A shame that we have to dispose of such a fine piece of stallion. Mayhaps we can ask for a naked statue this time and have him set in the private garden?" I was... well now I was conflicted. Being reduced to a statue was not my idea of a happy ever after, but being the princesses' personal fucking ornament was... not unenticing.

"Which ponies are you controlling and how?" Celestia asked firmly, ignoring her sister. Her glare was beyond daggers, she was glaring friking zweihanders at me.

"I am controlling the mares Spring Periwinkle and Berry Punch. They agreed to be my sex slaves." I surprised myself with my answer. Then again, this was the truth. I hadn't been the one to ask the Straight Record to make the Elements of Harmony and Starlight comfortable with having sex and being naked with me. I also had just divested control of Gunther. I honestly had no other controls in place that I could think of.

"Agreed?" Celestia pressed.

"They, whilst not under my control, asked me to make them my slaves. They wrote out the boundaries to the control I have over them themselves." I said, my voice still monotone and far calmer than I was.

"What of the rest of the ponies in that room?" She continued, drilling further into me with her glare.

"I am not controlling their minds." I replied.

"Were you controlling them when we first arrived?" Celestia asked, giving herself as clear of a picture as she could. I would've smiled, knowing the truth and that she'd likely find it to be in order. Partially at least.

"I was controlling Spring Periwinkle and Berry Punch when you first arrived." I said. I felt like this was going about as well as I could hope for. Considering that I was compelled to tell the truth and that the state of affairs was what it was. Pretty good thus far.

"Did you control us?" Ah frick. Well, there goes the neighborhood. The question that I didn't want to answer was being asked and I had to answer. Stupid brain controlling spell. Hypocritical, I know, but I still didn't like it.

"Yes."

"To what end?"

"I made you accept Twilight's invitation."

"Did you make her invite us?"

"No."

"And why did you make us accept?" Celestia asked. This was my best shot in my mind. My motivations, though selfish, were not exactly villainous. I could only hope that my own testimony would be enough for me to not to get banished. My mares likely wouldn't stand for it, and I didn't want them getting punished alongside me.

"Because we had been through a great deal. Your refusal made the ponies sad and would've likely resulted in the party being cancelled. The ponies in there needed a way to relax and have a good time after what we had been through. Your refusal would've made that impossible." I replied simply. Maybe not the best phrasing, but it wasn't as if I had choice in the matter.

"So you had us join in a party full of lascivious activities not because you wanted to see the princesses naked or because you wanted to... have sexual intercourse with us, but because the ponies were in need of a morale boost?" Celestia's tone was disbelieving. I couldn't fault her, there were more than a few ponies that would take any opportunity to fuck her senseless.

"Yes. I did, however, want to fuck the both of you. That fact was not the reason I had you accept." I said. I felt like that was both my best defense and simultaneously the worst thing to have said. Celestia, however, seemed to take this fairly well. I suppose it wasn't irrational to assume she was aware of her effect on ponies. She might even have leveraged it in the past. Present even.

"Very well. And you have no nefarious intentions towards any of my ponies?" She really did cover her bases quite well. I was more than happy the truth would come out on this one. A byproduct of actually not wanting to be a moustache twirling villain.

"No. I only wish to have a quiet life with my mares." I answered, a faint thought crossing my mind if this spell lasted longer than Luna having her horn glowing. Spouting out truths incessantly like this might become a tad problematic. Celestia took this answer in like the rest - with slow and careful deliberation. There didn't seem to be any other pressing questions that branched off from it.

"Did you enjoy fucking us?" Luna asked slyly, her sister giving her little reaction. Well, I would miss being alive, but if my time was now I wouldn't resist... not too much.

"Yes."

"And who did you like more?"

FUCK!

"I preferred Princess Luna." I replied, my mouth giving no heed to my panicking brain. Luna guffawed at this while Celestia gave her a smirk of her own.

"Well then, I suppose you'll be happy to know that we didn't let your semen actually enter us." Celestia said simply, and suddenly my mouth was full of my own cum as Celestia's horn dimmed in the aftermath of a spell. Luna stopped laughing for a second, looking at her sister in a split second of confusion.

"Oh, uh, yes, of course we didn't let you actually cum in us. Just a ruse for the sake of the other ponies." It sounded completely unconvincing. Did Luna... did she like me? Or at least my dick? If that was true I'd harp on that privately for the rest of my life - no matter how short it would be. "Oh, and you have control over your mouth again, so you may want to swallow. Only quitters spit." On reflex I swallowed hard, more so out of fear. The thought I had just downed my own spunk wasn't really a consideration at this point.

"Be that as it may, we will be paying close attention to you and how this situation develops, Rousing Crescendo." Celestia said, a menacing edge taking her voice. "And do be so kind as to not ever mention that you had sexual intercourse with either of us. It would be a shame if your major found itself no longer connected." She gave me a meaningful look.

I gave her a slow nod, feeling very much out of my depth for not the first time. "I-I promise that I don't have any negative intentions towards anypony... except those who actively try and hurt me or my mares... and friends."

"You said that already." Celestia reminded me. "But it is a comfort to have it from you when outside of the spell. It means a tad more in some ways." She gave me a comforting smile, one that set me at ease despite the circumstances. I guess that might've been one of the reasons she stayed as princess for so long. That and the whole having control over the sun. "Farewell, and keep a good watch over those mares. If they did willingly offer themselves up to the situation they are now in, then you should cherish what you have all the more." I nodded slowly, and watched as they walked away, moving through the winding corridors of the castle. I was kind of... well, surprised was a good start.

"Is that everything?" I asked, looking over the singular duffle that the dopp- the ponies that were leaving had. Having said all of their goodbyes at the party, we were the only ones out here at the outskirts of the town just beyond my house.

Testing just shrugged, hoisting the bag onto his shoulder. "Well, considering we only have the clothes on our backs and what coins and food you have been kind enough to provide, yes." I smirked a tad bit at this. I never payed it much heed, but the stallion sounded only slightly different than myself - or maybe that difference was just a product of not having the voice echoing in my head as he spoke.

"Thank you for all the help you're giving us." Stella said, standing beside Sultry. The two mares had an arm around the other, hopefully intentionally sending the message they were with that. They were two beautiful mares, they deserved each other. "Our sudden arrival was a... problem, we realize. We're glad you were as kind as you were to us and more so with you not trying to stop us from moving our own way."

"Hey, you lot are ponies the same as us, you deserve a chance at your own lives." I said, brushing her off. They needed this, they were ponies in difficult circumstances. Of course I'd help them! I suppose it did help that I hadn't treated the best I could've up to that point. Guilt was also a good motivator.

"One moment, darlings!" I turned, watching as Rarity charged up, a suitcase trailing behind her. Beyond the afternoon's festivities, this was the least ladylike I had seen her. Seeing her during a boobgasm was cheating as far as seeing her in an unladylike position.

Reaching us, she took a brief moment to catch her breath and then flip her hair before gently presenting the suitcase, which was quite large, to Testing. "A gift. It took me a moment to get all of it together, but I have gotten you one piece of formal wear each and two changes of casual clothes." Rarity explained, much to their shock. "Now, I didn't exactly get your measurements during your stay with us, so none of these are precisely the best fitting pieces for you all - likely going to be on the larger side in most cases. That being said, they are still fashionable and machine washable - not the formal to be clear, just the casual bits." The ponies and griffon just stared between Rarity and the case.

"T-this... this is so much! We can't exactly pay you back for this, Ms. Rarity." Sultry stammered, looking at Rarity as if she had just offered to give them a mansion.

"Nonsense, its a gift!" Rarity repeated. "You may not have been around from as long as most ponies your age, but gifts usually do not mean I want something from you beyond taking it. So please, darlings, take them and make good use of them." The ponies looked at each other, but in the end Testing took the case and gave her a smile.

"Thank you, Ms. Rarity." He nodded to her, or maybe that was him bowing his head - it was hard to tell. "We'll be sure to make good you of these clothes."

"I wish you all well." I said after a moment of awkward silence. "You do well for yourselves. And stay in touch when you are able. We wouldn't mind hearing from you on occasion." Testing chuckled, looking at the ponies and griffon behind him.

"We'll do our best. There's nothing else we can do." He looked back to me and gave me a pat on the shoulder. "You do well for you and your mares. I don't want to come back only to find you've fucked up in my absence. Might start making me feel guilty for depriving you of my presence." I chuckled at this.

"I'll be sure to do that." I said. I punched him in the shoulder. "Take care." He gave me a nod, turning to the others behind him, looking them over.

"Alright. Time for us shadows to walk away and get ourselves our own bodies." He said in that way I recognized as my own way of trying to sound deep. It kind of worked in this instance in my estimation. The others just took it in stride and began to walk off, Gunther pulling back to take the suitcase from Testing who still had a duffle of food goods to carry.

I sighed, watching them go. I could only hope the world would be a tad bit kind to them. They deserved success, or at least their own lives. Certainly those papers Twilight had given them would be of great help, but in the end, a lot of it would come down to luck. I turned away after a few moments and walked back towards my house, watching as Rarity too turned away and made her way back to her place.

Opening my phone for a second, I made a quick search online. I had some of my own money - some of it now Testing's - and though it wasn't too much, it also wasn't insubstantial. That being said, I was already looking at needing every nib left to my personal account to make this hairbrained scheme work out.
