Just as the work day was coming to an end, Rarity opened the door and walked into the shop. Her eyes spotted Sonata right away, but she was more intrigued by the ear-rubbing she was giving Twilight. "Having fun?" Her lips were curled into a smile.

Sonata nodded and pointed at Twilight with her free hand. "Rarity! You wouldn't believe the happy sounds she makes when you rub her ears."

"Darling, I make the same noises when I—" Rarity cut herself off when she heard Twilight let out a little repeating-squeak sound. "Gosh but that's adorable." Shaking her head to snap herself back to reality, Rarity let out a sigh. "Remember how I said I might not be able to do anything tonight? I was right. Perhaps you and Twilight could find something to keep you occupied?"

"Way ahead of you." Sonata left Twilight's ears alone and trailed her fingers through the girl's mane. "We were going to have a girls' night in and watch a movie and make out."

Closing her eyes, Rarity could imagine the two having quite a time. Biting her lower lip, she let out a sad little noise from the back of her throat. "If it were anything but my sister's birthday party, I would join you with that. Maybe next time?"

"W-We were just going to—That is I asked if she—I just want to try vanilla lesbian sex again. I tried it once with Tree Hugger, but a single trial is hardly rigorous enough to base my life on." Twilight reached her hoof up to adjust her glasses. "Then Sonata wanted to show me the thing she can do with her magic, which got us onto ear-rubbing."

"Twilight likes ear-rubbing." Sonata didn't go back to rubbing the girl's ears, rather just stroking her hand down her neck.

"Mmhmm." Twilight's ears splayed out to each side at the attention. "There's a lot of new sensations from my new body, and I'm still getting used to all of them. This—this is nice."

"Oh! Right. I saw Spicy and Rainbow in town. They said they were going straight home. I said I'd tell you both to close up." Wrapping her arms around Sonata's waist, Rarity pulled her close and gave her a swarm of little kisses all over her cheek. "I'll be home around eleven. If you're still busy then, leave a sock on the door handle if you don't want me coming in."

Sonata laughed. "We'll see how things go." She followed Rarity to the door and, when her girlfriend and mistress left, she locked it. "There. We're closed. I was worried someone would come in while she was talking."

Moving the boxes up to beside the counter, Twilight's anticipation was growing. When they had everything packed up and the register counted, her hooves felt itchy with excitement. "Y-You said a movie?"

"Rarity hates action movies. She's one-hundred-percent-lesbian, you understand. Seeing a big hunk with muscles blowing up all the bad guys just doesn't do it for her." Opening the door, Sonata stepped out into the stairwell that divided the loft apartment from the shop and unlocked the latter.

"Spike really loves those. He'd sit with me for hours to watch them." As she said it, Twilight felt a pang of worry. She hadn't thought about Spike in weeks. Her mother had hired him a private tutor and was working to teach him how to fit in with modern society—without resorting to barking and peeing on things.

The taste of happiness and anticipation soured and Sonata looked down at Twilight. "What's wrong?"

"I just—" Twilight sighed. "Mom has been helping Spike adjust. It's not easy for him, and he's not handling it well. He doesn't even want me to see him—or so Mom said. He's still a puppy in my mind, but really he's almost an adult dog and he is an adult diamond dog." She'd gotten the name for his species from Sunset.

"Oh! Diamond dogs! I know of them. They get awful stubborn and angry." Sonata closed the door behind Twilight and made her way to the kitchenette. "Hungry?"

"How about pizza?" Twilight asked.

"How about you sit your pony butt down, pick a movie, and tell me what you want on your tacos?" Sonata looked at Twilight and tilted her hips to the side. It was one of her classic I'm in control stances she'd used as part of the Dazzlings.

Rolling her eyes, Twilight stuck out her tongue. "You can have tacos if you want, but I'm getting pizza."

"Some people…" Sonata turned back around and started pulling things out of the fridge. "You still need to pick the movie. Something with guys with big muscles, big guns, and a whole lot of bad one-liners. Bonus points if there's a sex scene."

Turning on the TV, Twilight found NetFlicks and started browsing the action section. "Ohhh! I got just the thing. You'll be groaning in more ways than one by the end of this." Twilight hit play and then pause.

Reaching for her phone with her magic, Twilight brought up their pizza app on her phone and started customizing what she wanted. By the time she was done, she could hear Sonata giggling. "What's so funny?"

Walking over, Sonata showed Twilight the screen of her own phone. On it, a picture of Twilight with single-minded focus on her phone with her tongue stuck out in concentration. "Just this. I'm saving this for blackmail—and for times when I need a good laugh."

Twilight would have loved to be angry, but even her slight grievance with Sonata's tactics dissolved at the sight of the picture. She wouldn't say it out loud, but it was cute. "The pizza will be here in fifteen minutes."

"I'll have my tacos cooked by then. You want a drink of something?"

For a second, Twilight froze. "You mean alcohol?"

"I'm a thousand years old and you're an adult. If you want a drink to relax, I'm not going to begrudge it. Besides, prohibition was stupid, and the laws are just a carryover of that."

It would have been easy for Twilight to just say yes. She could have had something that would shut up her brain from its attempts to sabotage and over-analyze everything. "I'm okay. I have a bottle of Dr. Pepper coming."

"You're so responsible, Twilight. I won't push you, though. So, what are we watching?" The pan Sonata put on started to sizzle with the onions she was browning.

"This is the first in a great series of compelling sci-fi, all built for ill-conceived reasons for a big hunk to show off his muscles and speak with a growl that will make your back curl." Twilight had to fight her desire to ask about what Sonata was making—it smelled good.

Sonata's head basically swiveled around and she focused on the screen. "Pitch Black?"

"Just listen to this." Twilight hit play and quickly skipped to the first Riddick line. As the big guy growled out his words, she shivered.

"Oh my fuck that voice!" Almost forgetting to turn her onions, Sonata closed her eyes and imagined more of the big hunk. "Imagine him in bed, narrating sex."

Twilight snorted. "Imagine him in bed having sex." She paused the video and turned to look at Sonata—both of them wore the same hungry expression.

They talked back and forth about all the things they'd do to him while Sonata cooked the tacos. When the doorbell rang, Sonata walked out and opened it. "Oh, Twilight's pizza. Twilight, is this paid for?"

"Yeah it is." Thinking he was knocking on the door of a sex shop, Fast Lane's expectations had been high, but the woman standing in the doorway looked more than a little ditzy. "Yeah, it's all paid for. Uh, this doesn't look like a shop…"

"The shop's over there," Sonata said, pointing. "You wouldn't believe the weirdos who run it."

"Anyway, here's your pizza, your drink, and… uh…"

Twilight used her magic to float the tip over, but let Sonata give it to the guy. "Thanks for the pizza!"

"Hey, no problems. Pizza is what we do." Turning and walking back down the stairs, Fast realized that it had been a tiny horse that had replied to him. A tiny unicorn. His brain skipped a gear and he remembered the news reports about magic. "Far out…"

Levitating the pizza over to the couch, Twilight lifted the first slice out and took a big bite out of it. "Mmm. Did you see that guy's face when he saw me? I get that a lot now. People at least know I'm not an animal now, and my magic's strong enough that I can deal with any that get pushy, but it's that awe in their eyes that still freaks me out a little."

"I mean, we could order another pizza and see if he comes back. Give the pizza guy a bit of a party." Sonata served up her tacos onto a plate and walked over to the couch to sit beside Twilight.

"What?! We can't do that! What if he—And we'd be—" Twilight froze as Sonata's hand found the top of her head and started playing with her ears. "Imagine getting your ears rubbed by two people at once."

Sonata snorted and picked up the remote. "Or you could have him and me both eating you out at the same time."

Feeling her cheeks blush, Twilight stifled any reply she might have given with pizza.

"You're so cute when you're flustered. So, where is this guy again?" Picking up a taco, Sonata bit into it with glee.

As they watched the movie, Sonata's string of comments about inappropriate things she'd like to do to both the protagonists drew more and more giggles of agreement from Twilight. When the food had run out, Twilight wound up laying her head on Sonata's lap while relaxing and letting her friend do what she wanted.

When one of Sonata's hands reached to Twilight's belly, she was so relaxed that she didn't realize where it was going until a sigh escaped her throat as Sonata massaged her almost-flat udder.

Sonata could have gotten heavy-handed, but she was happy to keep Twilight distracted by the movie while teaching the mare all the fun places ponies had. She tickled and played with the sensitive flesh around Twilight's teats and listened for the soft, happy noises that came from the mare.

"Can I use more magic on you?" Sonata asked.

"Huh?" Twilight had been so relaxed and engrossed in the movie (that she'd seen dozens of times already) that Sonata's question hadn't registered at first. Tilting her head up to look Sonata in the eyes, Twilight let magic fill her horn as she reached under Sonata's clothing and felt for her breasts.

Biting back a moan, Sonata gave the slightest pinch to one of Twilight's teats, and got a return pinch on her own nipple. "Playful already? Maybe we should pause the movie?"

"I've seen it before. We can always put it on repeat." Twilight bit her lower lip as Sonata's touch became more insistent. "Oh, magic. If you want, but remember what it did to me last t—"

What hit Twilight wasn't like earlier in the day, and it wasn't quite an orgasm, but Sonata definitely made her feel very good very suddenly. Moaning out loud, she poured power into her horn and teleported away all of Sonata's clothes.

Pausing, Sonata was surprised at the use of magic Twilight exhibited, but had to concede that it was convenient. "You've unwrapped your burrito, now what are you going to do?"

Twilight tried to come to terms with what she saw. Sonata's body was a lot like Tree's had been, but it wasn't a purely physical thing that had turned her off with Tree, she realized. She didn't know Tree. They were friends, kinda, but Twilight had shared a lot more with Sonata. Lowering her snout between the siren's legs, Twilight nuzzled at the small strip of blue hair there.

Author's Note

Ask Twilight: Do you think you should open class for pony anatomy 101 at the college too?

A little distracted, Twilight tried to focus on the question. "Oh, uh. I guess. I mean, we don't know as it will spread that fast to them. Besides, more than just students will need that lesson, if all this does keep spreading."

So I do this "Ask X" thing. X can be any pony within the story. You can ask them anything and they will definitely, hopefully reply. Keep the questions appropriate to the age-rating of the stories, and they will answer the best question in the author notes of the next chapter. The more votes a comment has the more likely I will get it to the right pony to answer. Try to keep it to one question per post! They will pick one question per chapter.
