Sunset lay on her chest as cum poured out of her backdoor while Thorn sat beside her. "I think... I think I really like anal."

Thorn chuckled and rubbed Sunset's back. "Glad to hear. Now, how about we get some sleep?"

Sunset nodded and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Canterlot

"So, what brings you to Canterlot?" Starlight asked as she smiled at the tired mare.

"On my way to Baltimare," Twilight replied as she rubbed her eyes with her palms.

"All by yourself? Wouldn't happen to have anything to do with Celestia, would it?"

Twilight leaned forward and rested her arms on the steering wheel with a sigh. "I almost died, Starlight."

The other woman's smile faded slightly as she nodded. "I heard about that."

"Got me thinking about... the future."

Starlight chuckled softly. “I see. And you want that future to be with Celestia?”

“That’d be nice, yeah…”

“Well, you’re in no condition to go anywhere right now. Take a break and then you can…”

Twilight shook her head. “No. I just need to fuel up. Then I’ll be off.”

Starlight gave her a look of concern. “You sure? You won’t have that future if you die before you get to Baltimare.”

“I won’t. Just help me with the fuel.”

Starlight sighed, but nodded. “Alright.”

Rambling Rock Ridge
4:30 AM
~~~~~

Twilight parked her vehicle next to the edge of a cliff and looked out at the hot landscape. She wiped sweat from her brow abs began undressing down to her underwear. Once she was left in her white bra and panties, she tossed her clothes beside her on the passenger seat and continued onwards.

Baltimare
Thorn's Home
5:00 AM
~~~~~

Sunset got dressed in her usual clothes only to find that her panties were bulging from her new addition. She let out a groan and ran to the front door. Cracking it open, She peeked outside. When she saw no one, she opened it and stepped out. She then turned to close the door and when she turned back around she saw Braeburn walking down the path towards her. He stopped when he saw her, making her freeze up. When she snapped out of her shock, she crossed her legs and waved.

Braeburn waved back before he approached her. “You an early bird, too?” He asked.

Sunset chuckled nervously. “Yeah. Sort of.”

Braeburn pointed at her legs. “You have to… use the bathroom?”

Sunset blushed and looked down before shaking her head. “No, uh…” She then looked back up at Braeburn before she let out a sigh. “Because of this.”

The man spotted the bulge and rubbed the back of his head. “That new? I don’t recall you ever havin’ somethin’ down there before.”

Sunset stepped up to him so she could speak in a voice only they could hear. “My friend wanted to teach me how to please a man but, since we’re both females, she couldn’t. So, she asked Chrysalis to give us dicks. Then, she went home while I was asleep and forgot to fix me.”

Braeburn just stared at her before letting out a brief chuckle. “I see. Now, you’re stuck with a penis.”

Sunset sighed and crossed her arms. “I really didn’t want you to see me like this.”

“Really? Why?”

“Because I…” Sunset said with a blush, before sighing. “Because I do like you, Braeburn. Despite our possible future living conditions.”

“Oh,” the man said with a smile. “Well, maybe we can be together until then? And by then, who knows? Maybe we’ll find a way?”

Sunset smiled lightly and eyed the man’s bare chest. “I suppose it would be nice to have someone during all this.”

Braeburn held out his hand, which Sunset accepted before she was pulled into a hug. She smiled and hugged back before she felt something stiff poking her.

“You’re hard,” she said bluntly.

“So are you.”

Sunset nodded. "I know." She then broke the hug. "Can we... get out of here before someone sees?"

Braeburn smiled. "I should have spare shorts for you."

The woman sighed with a smile. "Thank you."

Golden's Room
5:30 AM
~~~~~

Chrysalis lay on the bed with Apple Cobbler knelt beside her. “You did what?”

Chrysalis chuckled to herself. “Mmm… I wonder what Sunset’s doing with her new meat.”

“That’s a little cruel. She might be hard, or something. Does she even know how one works?”

“I gave her a few pointers. Thorn helped, too.”

Apple Cobbler let out a sigh when she heard footsteps coming down the hall. Chrysalis sat up just as Celestia burst through the door with an angry look on her face.

“Care to explain?!” The princess demanded.

“Calm down,” Chrysalis sighed. “It’s just a penis.”

Celestia gave a look of confusion. “What? No. Not that!”

“Then… what?” Chrysalis asked, sounding confused.

~~~~~
Braeburn's Room
5:30 AM
~~~~~

Braeburn lay on his bed when his bathroom door opened and Sunset stepped out, wearing a pair of his shorts. "All better?" He asked her.

Sunset nodded. "Yep. I'm... not hard anymore," she said as she approached the bed. "So... I guess we're... together now?"

"If you want," Braeburn smiled.

The woman hesitated before she laid down beside him, both staring up at the ceiling. "We can try, at least. See where it goes."

Braeburn looked at her. "So... Thorn?"

Sunset chuckled. "Yeah. She means well, but... can sometimes take it too far."

"So, you said she was showin' you?" He asked. "Does that mean she took your..."

Sunset blushed hard and shook her head. "N-No, she, uh... She and Chrysalis had sex and... Chrysalis used a spell to let me feel it. I'm still... um..."

Braeburn looked up at the ceiling. "Wow."

"Yeah."

Both stayed silent before they heard a commotion from the hallway.

"Just follow me," came Celestia's voice. "I can't believe this."

"Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me," Chrysalis said.

Braeburn and Sunset eyed each other before they both scrambled to their feet. Sunset got to the door first and opened it, stepping out into the hallway. Celestia was leading Chrysalis out of the hotel.

"She was here the whole time?" Sunset asked before she and Braeburn ran after them.

They kept their distance as the two seemed engaged in a serious conversation. Celestia led the sorceress to the city's entrance and pointed. Chrysalis stepped up and gasped. In the distance was the changeling queen. She was just standing about a hundred feet away from the entrance. All the guards along the city wall had their weapons aimed at the bug horse.

"Oh, shit," Sunset gasped.

Celestia looked at the sorceress and pointed at their unwanted guest. Chrysalis just shrugged. "Let me go talk to her."

"Alone?" Celestia asked, dumbfounded. "Absolutely not! I won't have you plotting against us with that thing!"

"Shall I let her attack?" Chrysalis asked.

"She won't stand a chance against all of us."

Chrysalis smiled. "Then, why is she here?"

Celestia's eyes narrowed. "We go together."

"As you wish," Chrysalis muttered. The changeling queen stared the two down as they began to make their approach. As they did, Sunset and Braeburn held hands tightly. The changeling queen suddenly changed her form to look like an all-black version of Chrysalis. "Well, that's a good sign."

"How so?" Celestia asked as she crossed her arms.

"Means she wants to talk."

The two stopped about a couple feet away from the changeling queen. There was a moment of awkward silence before the changeling spoke. "Princess," she said in Chrysalis' voice but with a light vocoder effect.

"Changeling," Celestia said plainly.

Chrysalis eyed the princess before looking at the changeling. "I might be happy to see you but the princess, and the rest of Baltimare, is wondering why you're here."

The changeling peeled her gaze from Celestia to look at the sorceress. "There's a war coming. Your enemies attack tomorrow."

"Our enemies?" Celestia asked. "That include you?"

The changeling narrowed her eyes. "Not at the moment."

Chrysalis turned to step in front of Celestia. "Don't antagonize her."

"She's a threat we can deal with right now," Celestia said coldly. "There's more of us."

"Exactly," Chrysalis pointed out. "Yet, here she is warning you."

Celestia scoffed. "She's only doing this to make sure you don't get hurt."

"Probably. Does it matter, though? There's an attack coming. You can stand here and argue with her or go prepare."

Celestia let out a low groan, mentally acknowledging that this woman was right. She then looked at the changeling again. “Do you have any insight on who it is or what their strength is?”

The changeling queen shook her head. “We have only heard the conversations. Whoever is planning the attack is keeping their army hidden.”

“I see…” Celestia muttered. “Some information is better than nothing, so… thank you.” She then noticed a truck approaching in the distance. When she and the changeling looked over at it, it stopped. She raised her hand and waved the truck over.

As it resumed its approach, the changeling looked at Celestia. “We will keep a look out, but… if the attack is tomorrow, we may not have time.”

Celestia sighed with a light nod. “I appreciate it.”

As the truck neared them, Celestia saw Twilight in the driver’s seat. When she pulled up to them, she rolled the window down. “What’s going on?”

Celestia gave her a warm smile. “I cannot express how happy I am to see you. I just wish you weren’t here right now.”

Twilight eyed the two Chrysalises as they hugged. “Why, what’s going on?”

“We’re being attacked tomorrow.”

Twilight went wide-eyed and leaned back in her seat. “I just barely survived one of those.”

“Yes, I heard,” Celestia said as she stepped up to the truck. “Go get settled in. We’ll talk as soon as I’m available, okay? And, don’t start a panic.”

Twilight nodded. “I understand.” When Celestia took a step back, Twilight resumed her drive as the changeling changed back into her bug horse form and flew off.

“Of all the rotten timing,” Celestia muttered before she turned to head back.

Chrysalis watched the changeling queen fly away before she followed. Taillight made it back first and parked the truck behind the city wall before getting out. Sunset and Braeburn ran over to her to see what was going on.

“What was that all about?” Asked Sunset.

“First off,” Twilight started, before she hugged Sunset tightly and then Braeburn. “Good to see you both.”

“You, too,” the couple said in unison.

“Secondly, we’re being attacked some time tomorrow. That’s all I know. But, it doesn’t look good. Celestia doesn’t want a panic, so…”

“We won’t tell anyone,” Sunset nodded.

Twilight gave her a smile. “I’ve been driving for hours. I’m gonna go rest.”

“Alright, we’ll see you later,” Sunset said as Twilight started walking away. She then looked at Braeburn. “Tomorrow. Might be it for us.”

Braeburn nodded. “We should probably make the most of what little time we may have.”

“I was thinking the same thing.”

The man put his arm around the woman as they headed back towards the hotel.
