Just Love Each Other Already!

Starlight trotted through the castle with a smile. After last nights' 'episode', she had calmed down considerably. She laughed at how absurd she had been due to a tad bit a sleep deprivation and what actually would constitute a healthy level of sexual frustration. The world at risk? That was patently absurd to be sure!

No, she just had two lovers that might've had a tad bit of an intimacy problem that she'd be solving one way or another. Sure, it wasn't so much for the good of Equestria, but in the end they were beyond friends - they were lovers that had gone into levels of intimacy that many ponies could only dream about. They were lucky, but Starlight just wanted them to be that much more lucky.

Having two ponies persistently focusing on the third certainly wouldn't be a grant as all three ponies getting in bed to please one another. The other two ponies just needed a tad bit of encouragement was all, and Starlight was here to assist in that department. She could give them that one gentle push towards each other.

It wasn't as if they hated one another, that much was for sure. Starlight wasn't the type of glue that could hold two ponies together through hatred. At most, she would grant she might hold two ponies together through indifference. She chided herself for somehow coming to the conclusion that her lovers hated one another. It was obvious upon rational observation of the facts that the two were just a tad bit indifferent, or maybe just at the beginning stages of love.

They weren't the types of ponies to not speak up on their feelings - Trixie especially. The mare was one of two loves of Starlight's life, but she was a tactless piece of work. Trixie had the social sense of a cactus. Sunburst was... well, he was awkward in most situations, and only came out of his shell when she came on his dick. During their private moments when Trixie wasn't around he'd surely try and tell her if he actually harbored some deep and abiding hatred or loathing towards Starlight's other lover - the pony Starlight wanted to encourage to become his lover as well.

All was well with the world - except for the part where Trixie was only coming back later today for the usual Wednesday shindig. Starlight had another day of sexual frustration to deal with yet, and it really wouldn't help matters. Starlight would have to be extra careful to not catch herself in a loop of depressive angst that would lead her to wanting to throw love hexes like Nightmare Night candy.

She just had to stay calm through the paperwork and make it to the evening. Then she'd have plenty of time to sort out her issues while sandwiched between Sunburst and Trixie. She start them out with the spell, get them revved up and ready to go. She'd remove the hex, maybe chat for a bit, and then hopefully they could all get some action and enjoy their evening together. It was a perfect plan with absolutely no faults that Starlight could see.

Beyond the chance that Trixie and Sunburst would hate her for using mind control magic on them. That was a concern for Starlight, but it was one she thought could be mitigated through use of her words. She just had to explain her rationale and they'd probably be fine. Unless somehow the hex left an aftershock and made the ponies inseparable and left Starlight all alone in a cold dark world that held no love - NO!

No! Starlight wouldn't fall into another loop of crazed thinking! She took a deep breath, steadying herself as she turned back to her paperwork. The stack was significantly shorter. Thankfully the midweek paperwork was usually light, but even this stack seemed... reduced.

She stole a quick glance towards Twilight who, surprisingly, only had two things she needed to work through. Granted, those two things were the absolute largest things on the list, but they were only two things. Starlight looked at her calendar and nodded in understanding. Somehow, in all the distress that was yesterday and the general over focus she achieved during a normal work day, she had missed the extended holiday weekend that started tomorrow. Better yet it was observed in the Crystal Empire too, so Sunburst likely would have extra time to have fun in Ponyville!

Looking at the clock, she sighed, realizing how much time she had left still. The afterschool paperwork was always a pain, but sometimes it was a blessing in disguise. She went back to it, thankful to have something that would distract her from the things in her life that threatened to drown her. She'd have been more thankful if the thing to distract her had been Trixie's tongue and lips, but she couldn't have everything she wanted.

Working through the stack, she quickly calculated in her head that it would likely take her roughly three hours to finish her papers - disregarding unforeseen delays or hidden stacks. If she could manage that, she'd have an extra two hours to work with and get her room in the castle ready for tonight's activities. Of course she couldn't count on that time just yet, seeing as surprise paperwork could always arise, but still.

She knew how to work with the right balance of quality and speed - or at least so she told herself. She felt confident that with a bit of effort and speed reading, she could have those two hours and get herself and her room ready for the night of intense lovemaking that would be happening for sure.

Her hind legs rubbed together in a useless gesture, her arousal already growing. She had enough strength to make it through to the main event, she knew she did. She'd keep it together until that night, and then she could let loose and just have some good fun with her lovers. She just couldn't wait!

Starlight ran about her room, setting everything up just right. She had managed to leave an hour early, which had been much to her benefit since Sunburst had sent her a letter via Spike that he'd be arriving sooner than anticipated. Starlight also made a note on this that she needed to get a means of message delivery between her and her lovers that didn't exactly have to pass through Spike. Sure, he was usually near enough to her that it didn't matter, but it would've been bad if he had been out visiting the dragons when he had received it.

With a quick tug and flourish of magic, she had replaced her usual bedsheets and covers with the silken ones she used when it came to love making. Its soft texture had become a favorite quite quickly, and the fact she had had it enchanted to make it unstainable had been a great benefit. They were nice looking and expensive before the enchanting, she'd hate to ruin them.

A knocking came to her door, snapping her attention to it instantly. With a flurry of motion she threw the necessary supplies together on her nightstand - from tissues to lube and toys. Nodding at it, she turned and took a deep breath to steady herself before opening the door. On the other side was Sunburst, looking nice in his robes as always.

"Hi, Starlight." He said, giving her his usual smile - dripping with every ounce of awkwardness the stallion could usually manage. "Am I the last one here?"

"No no, you actually beat Trixie this time." Starlight smiled, glad to have somepony to talk to besides herself. She might've been able to hold a complete conversation with herself, but she usually just worked herself into a tizzy. "She's off in Mareland on... magician business." Sunburst nodded slowly to this.

"Likely the Ogres and Oubliettes convention." He remarked without much hesitation, only to stumble over himself as he attempted to course correct. "OritcouldjustbeaveryseriousthingforstagemagiciansthattotallyhasnothingtodowithboardgamesunlesstheponieswantedtodosomethingentertainingbetweenpanelsiftherewerepanelsnotsayingtherearepanelsjustguessingandI'mgoingtoshutupnow." Starlight blinked at this. Sometimes he could give Pinkie a run for her money with how fast he could talk. Not a very fast run, but a run nonetheless.

"I probably would've joined her if it was and O&O convention if it weren't for the paperwork we have to do at the school." Starlight shrugged.

"Wait, you like O&O?" Sunburst asked, taken aback by this sudden revelation. It turned out you could fuck a pony at least once a week and still not know everything about them.

"Yeah. I haven't been able to play so regularly since Big Mac dropped out of the campaign that Spike was running for us. We kind of need a few more ponies to fill out the group before we can get back to fighting of the Squizard." Starlight said. She could see in Sunburst's expression that the main question he was now failing to articulate was along the lines of 'how?' "Spike introduced me to it and I thought it was pretty fun so I joined his group. Doesn't really exist anymore, but that's how things go."

"Huh..." Sunburst muttered as he continued to study her, as if he was now standing in front of an entirely new pony. "Never figured you'd be into Ogres and Oubliettes..."

"I am, but you know what I'm really into?" Starlight said, slyly closing the door behind him. "Stallions that know how to fuck." Sunburst shut up instantly, his entire body locking up while his eyes shot wide open. Even after fucking the mare before him multiple times, he still was a bit more than a little affected by Starlight's teasing - teasing in general really. Starlight, for her part, put up an admirable attempt at keeping a straight face, but in the end broke down laughing.

Taking this as his queue, Sunburst joined in with an awkward chuckle, not sure what exactly he should be doing. Instead of awkwardly looking at the mare before him, he looked at the room around them. It was, beyond all expectations, completely the same as it had been last week. Astounding.

Starlight felt a prickle at the back of her mind. Those psychology books still teased at the folds of her brain in an attempt to establish logic in the world that was about to become a great deal more complicated in a few seconds. A part of her, a rather fundamental part of her at that, urged her to... talk.

"I..." She started before even realizing she had. Sunburst looked at her with an expectant look that had the opposite effect he likely had been aiming for. Starlight felt a spear of fear pierce through her core at the thought of him admitting he hated Trixie and actually didn't want to do this. "I'mgonnagograbsomesnacks!" With that the room was a unicorn emptier, leaving Sunburst alone in the room.

"Is that what I'm like?" He asked the room as he blinked. Then he blushed as another thought crossed his mind. It had been pretty cute. Was that why Starlight liked him? Was it because he was cute when he was awkward? Maybe his mom's advise to just be himself really had some merit.

Starlight desperate threw chips into a bowl as she tried to stop hyperventilating. She already had enough dip in another bowl for twelve ponies, and now she had poured out enough chips to outlast the dip even if they only dipped every other one and used the most minimal amount of dip at that.

This. Was. A. MESS! It had gone from a nice evening in the making and had somehow shifted into a night she very much was dreading already. She didn't like how things were going, and they barely had been going yet! She needed to get control of it before it went far, and she could only do that once Trixie got in. Casting a love hex on just Sunburst, while tempting, was not what she wanted or what they needed.

She just needed to give them a little push and then everything would be alright and they'd get to live their happily ever afters together and fuck as much as they wanted - schedules providing of course. She just needed to get this done right and everything would be alright. She just needed to hold out for just a little bit longer and she'd be home free and wouldn't have so much stress threatening to make her crazy.

Returning upstairs with her two overly filled bowls, she took a deep breath, and walked in. Looking about with a quick glance, she determined that Sunburst was still the only other pony here. She put on a smile and set down the bowls, hoping her smile wasn't to awkward in the circumstances.

Sunburst looked at the overly filled bowls with a lifted eyebrow. "Are we having a full blown orgy, because I didn't bring the supplies for it." He said plainly. "Or the courage, that too. I'm not exactly comfortable with the-"

"No no no, I just..."Starlight frantically searched for a reason to have brought so much in the way of snacks. "I... I thought with the holiday weekend coming up you might be staying longer and we could maybe have some fun and have these snacks and possibly just be here more of the time." She stumbled out, working on the fly as she tried to weave her fib into a reasonable lie. "I should've asked you, but I know that the Crystal Empire observes it and I figured you might be sticking around."

Sunburst paused, and then just smiled. "Of course! I was going to bring it up once Trixie got here, but I guess we already got it settled." Starlight chuckled nervously at this. It was a relief that her stallion had agreed - and with minimal suspicion on her to boot. "Though I hope we can have more than just chips and dip. Oh! Should we cast a frost enchantment on the bowl so that the dip stays nice? I'm not sure if you got a fridge up here or-"

"Oh, right! Of course! Slipped my mind!" Starlight said, still chuckling, quickly igniting her horn and casting a minor frosting enchantment on the bowl. It was good that at least one of them was still in possession of a relatively calm mind. Starlight was doing her best to calm down, but there was only so much she could manage given the circumstances.

"Hey are you-"

But Sunburst was interrupted by the door to the room getting thrown open in a gust of magic as Trixie made her entrance. "I, Trixie, have arrived!" She proclaimed, thoroughly derailing the conversation. "Ooh, spinach dip!" She quickly took a large scoop of the dip while setting her luggage to the one side and closing the door behind her. "Did you two get up to anything while Trixie was arriving, or have you saved yourself for the expert ministrations of the Great and Powerful Trixie?"

"We hadn't started yet, Trixie. It's a tad rude to start without all the ponies here." Sunburst said with a small roll of the eyes. Somehow, despite all Starlight had seen of Sunburst, when Trixie was involved, he was able to just act calm. That was unless -

"Ah, Sunburst, good to see you've made it well. Are your balls ready to go for a long night of passion making with our dear Starlight?" That. Sunburst shrank at the comments, not so much out of shame - though that might've played a part in it - but more so because he continued to not do well with sexual comments. At least he looked cute while he was embarrassed.

"Well, Starlight, shall we get started with some foreplay, or perhaps you wish that we just converse and catch up on the news." Trixie offered. "Trixie had a wonderful time in Mareland, the convention of Stage Performers and Associated Trades was quite enjoyable. Of course, none of them held a candle to the radiance of Trixie's natural talent."

This was it, the moment that would decide it all. Starlight did her best to quickly calm herself. "Actually, I was thinking maybe... we'd do something a little different to start." The two ponies looked at her expectantly. Now or never she supposed. Without waiting, she lit her horn at invoked the spell circle she had memorized.

The magic shot into Trixie and Sunburst, both ponies going rigid as it hit. Starlight held her breath, waiting for the hex to take effect. The two ponies blinked a few times, and then looked at each other. Trixie moved first, launching herself at Sunburst, wrapping her forelegs around his neck - drawing him in close to a deep kiss. Starlight let out her breath, dabbing a cloth across her brow. It was amazing how stressful it could be taking control of your friends.

She watched as the newly minted lovers continued to battle it out in a kiss, bringing a smile to Starlight's muzzle. Slowly they struggled together, magic flaring and sending what clothes the two wore - both being cape adjacent for both ponies - off to the corners of the room. They made their way closer to the bed as they kissed until Sunburst, with an uncharacteristic assertion of something similar to dominance, threw Trixie onto the bed before climbing up himself.

Trixie turned about, raising her butt up while lowering her front half - her tail flagging up to give Sunburst easy access. The stallion didn't wait around, hopping on top of his prize, lining himself up to enter the mare. With an animal grunt, he thrust forward - driving the mare further up the bed, bunching sheets up under her.

Soon the room was full of the sounds of their ferocious fucking as the two ponies went at it with abandon. Starlight watched it unfold, a quiet smile on her face as she nodded at the two, happy to see her plan coming together. Step one complete, now she just needed to wait for them to finish and then she'd have two lovers that would certainly love each other as much as they loved her.

"You're so tight, Trixie!" Sunburst growled as he continued to rail her. Starlight cocked her head at that one, a tad bit puzzled why he was talking. He never talked while they were having sex - especially dirty talk.

"Mmph, Sunburst... ooh, Sunburst, you're so big!" Trixie moaned between thrusts. "Never stop, ooh, please! Fuck me, fuck the third person out of me you magnificent wizard!" Starlight blinked a few more times, taking this in, not sure how she should feel. It was just the hex talking, but it was the two ponies she loved saying these things under the power of the hex.

Suddenly, her nethers reminded her as she watched the two ponies going at it that she hadn't had a personal assistant for several days. She was pent up, and the display before her, though disconcerting, was still quite hot. She needed something to give her a release from all the frustration she had been building up. She placed a hoof on the bed, ready to hop up, only to have Trixie knock the hoof off the bed - sending Starlight face planting into the bed with an unceremonious poomf.

Starlight shook herself, and looked down at the offending hoof with a confused look. It must've been an unintentional movement that the other mare had made during her fucking - Starlight knew all about those. Plus, Trixie was getting it from Sunburst, the stallion that drove Starlight up the wall with seeming ease. If anything, Trixie seemed a tad less broken by the insane pleasure than Starlight had expected.

Going for another try, Starlight went to mount the bed closer to Sunburst, intending to plant some kisses on him like he always did for her. Suddenly she was on the floor with a stinging pain on her cheek. It took a second, but she realized with a start that, while fucking Trixie, Sunburst had smacked her across the cheek as she had neared him. She blinked back tears of hurt - the physical pain barely even registering with her as she looked up at the two ponies making love.

Gathering herself up, Starlight marched over towards Trixie, intent on at least kissing the mare - disregarding her own need for release if it meant she could be included. Once more, she was shoved away. Starlight just stood there, looking at the two, tears whelming up in her eyes. Somehow, without trying, she must've supercharged the hex.

It didn't make sense, but it was the only thing that came close to explaining what was happening. Her lovers were suddenly shunning her attempts at affection. Not just shunning though, but pushing her away in violent reactions to her trying to join on in. What was happening‽ How could her lovers be acting so strange‽ Not even supercharging the hex explained it fully, and yet somehow it was the only option.

Starlight sighed, realizing her plan had truly been a foolish one. "I'm sorry..." She said sincerely while casting her eyes to the floor, remorse dripping from her voice like bitter honey. She fell to her haunches, doing her best to not fall to tears as she traced the next spell in her mind. She reignited her horn and cast the counter spell, listening as it washed over the other two ponies. She could work through the repercussions of her actions easier than she could work through not having her lovers actually love her.

She could deal with their anger and their disappointment, she just needed them to still love her somewhere in their hearts. She sighed. "I'm sorry." She reiterated, looking back up. She nearly fell backwards when she saw them. Despite the counter spell going off without a hitch, the two ponies still fucked like a pair of animals - maybe more ferociously. Starlight's eyes widened as it became clear that, despite what he had thought, it hadn't gone off without a hitch.

She charged her horn again and released the spell into both ponies, but nothing happened once more. She then supercharged the spell and fired it off into Sunburst and then Trixie, but nothing happened. Starlight watched on with mouth agape as her friends continued to fuck, the noise of their love making blocking all other sounds in the room.

Somehow, despite how cautious she had thought she had been, she found the two ponies she had loved so much trapped in a love hex's clutches. They fucked and fucked, moaning and groaning with abandon. The world did not exist, and each time that Starlight tried to bridge the gap she was shoved away - each time with more force.

She tried once more, going to try and hug the two of them - to beg for forgiveness into their fucking forms - only for both ponies to ignite their horns and send her tumbling uselessly across the floor. Starlight looked up at them, tears now flowing freely as she watched her best friends fucking and fucking. She trembled, though now not with erotic pleasure but anguish of the soul.

The ponies that had completed her were now bound and would have no other ponies with them. They were so in love with one another that nopony else mattered. Not even the brokenhearted Starlight that watched them as tears fell to the ground. Starlight finally felt something in her break as she let her face sink into her forelegs as she cried her heart out.

Over the sounds of her tears and burbling apologies, she could still hear them. Every thrust cracking her heart into smaller pieces. Every groan shaking her to her core. By the sound of him, Sunburst was getting closer and closer, soon the first round would be over. She could imagine it perfectly, the feeling of his swelling ever so slightly inside of her, spreading her that much more, before-

"I love you, Trixie! I love you so much!" Sunburst cried, breaking another piece of Starlight. It hurt more than Starlight could've imagined anything hurting her.

"I love you, too, Sunburst! Give me all of your load! Make me a mommy!" Trixie cried, proving Starlight somehow wrong with a newer, closer, and more primal pain that not only shattered her heart, but ground it into a fine powder. Starlight couldn't bear it, but she couldn't stop herself from hearing them in the moment of their climax.

Starlight was adrift in an unforgiving world, her heart destroyed with no idea where she could go next. The feeling of loss and pain was bad enough, but now she was alone. There was no pony to comfort her, to kiss her tears away. She could already tell that the two of them would shortly have no reason to have Starlight around. She was unnecessary, they had each other and had no need for the mare that they had broken the heart of. She'd go back to having no lovers, and worse yet, no friends. The pain was just to much. Feeling as though she had been thrown into a dark sea with no shore in sight.

She sobbed for a long time on that floor it seemed. The floor and her coat were soaked with her never ending tears. She kept crying, feeling her world fall down around her, having nothing else she could do. Counter spells had failed, and another layer of hexes or anything else wouldn't work - or worse yet, would make it worse. She missed Trixie and Sunburst already, and they were still in the room - though their spirits seemed to have long left her presence.

Suddenly, a hoof pressed against her shoulder. She looked up at the touch, not sure what to expect. Before her misty eyes were Trixie and Sunburst, looking down at her with those loving eyes she knew so well. Her breath hitched, and she darted forward, wrapping her forelegs around her lovers, drawing them in close as she sputtered out apology after apology while she continued to cry, though now they were tears of joy.

Deep in their eyes, deep in those looks they gave her, were the souls of those ponies she had lost. They had returned, they hadn't left her! Starlight finally pulled back and looked at both of them, tears still streaming down her face.

"I thought I had lost you!" She burbled out finally, looking her lovers over, as if to make sure she hadn't died and joined them someplace else. "What happened, how did you break the hex?"

"Well, it does help to not succumb to a hex in the first place." Sunburst admitted with a guilty shrug, gaining a confused look from Starlight.

"Twilight, dummy." Trixie chided playfully. "Princess Snooty thought that with your particular... history, that your room should be enchanted with a myriad spells and seals that would block any mind altering spell that might be cast. From minor tricks to major things that require full on drawn circles on the floor or walls. She sunk a lot of time and resources to get it done."

"W-what...?" Starlight looked between them, still confused. "But... but how did you know what to do? How could you've known that it was a love hex or what to do to act along if it was?"

"Part of the enchantments." Sunburst offered. "You have to understand that she had it done rather early on - like just a few weeks after you joined her in the castle. She added a part of the enchantment that allowed you to let a form of the spell work as it was intended as long as you actively consented. Act along so that you wouldn't be suspicious, creating an opening to counter attack in a way you wouldn't expect. We kinda just did that and figured we spice it up a tad as we went along."

"You mean you..."

"We weren't hexed. Also, sorry if I hurt you when I gave you that shove. It was all part of the act." Trixie said with a surprisingly sympathetic smile. It seemed even Trixie had her moments of awareness. She could actually be nice? Almost seemed like a body double was more likely at times, but now was a time that Starlight could accept that this was Trixie trying to be gentle with a pony she came very close to ruining.

"We didn't want to hurt you, Starlight, but we also needed to make sure you understood that this wasn't a thing you should do." Sunburst said with a voice that came across as parental. Starlight nodded to this slowly, having come to this conclusion before this point on her own.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted you two love each other like you seemed to only love me." Starlight said in a small voice, knowing her reasoning was good as painting her crazy. "You two just never seemed to do anything but make me happy - not that I don't appreciate that. It's just... it's just I wanted us all to love each other equally."

Sunburst and Trixie looked at each other for a short while before cracking into a bout of laughter. Their hearty laughter caught Starlight by surprise, who just looked between the two of them in astonishment. She tried and failed to understand, growing more and more confused. After a few more moments, the other two got themselves under control.

"Alright, you got us." Sunburst admitted, doing his best to calm down. "Honestly, before we just kind of... well, weren't as interested in one another. We both loved you and were alright sharing you with another pony."

"Though initially Sunburst held back the Great and Powerful Trixie from her greatest potential in concerns to pleasing you, Starlight; in the end we adapted to each other and have become an unstoppable team of pleasure!" She proclaimed, bringing interesting images of that statement on a banner above one of her shows. That'd be a hot show worth seeing to be sure. Maybe she'd have a private showing of it later on.

"I have to admit that you were a pretty good... well... you were good, Trixie." Sunburst admitted, dancing around language that didn't help his comfort.

"You, too, were quite nice in bed, Sunburst." Trixie admitted, getting a blush from the stallion. "Trixie thinks there certainly is a good chance that we might get into the same bed again and tend directly to each other's needs. Trixie certainly believes you suitable for such tasks."

"Th-thanks, Trixie." Sunburst muttered awkwardly. Starlight looked at them, a slowly growing smile appearing across her tearstained featured. Despite herself, she had succeeded. She had gotten them to appreciate each other, to love each other. It had somehow all worked out.

"I am sorry," Starlight said, "I won't do it again, but I am glad you two are closer for it." She gave them a gentle smile, not sure where exactly she stood, but feeling that - for the first time in a little bit - it was alright to not know for sure.

"Good." Trixie nodded firmly. "No more trying mind control on Trixie unless Trixie says so." Starlight nodded to this, and then turned to Sunburst, who returned her smile.

"As long as you learned your lesson." Sunburst nodded. "Now, are we going to get to the main event of the evening? Trixie is good, but only one pussy tonight would be a shame." The three of them laughed together, the world falling back into place as they joined together on the bed. They had some time to burn, and they knew just how they'd do it. It was to be the fucking greatest holiday.

A hint of a thought crossed Starlight's mind later on. The thought that perhaps a letter recording a friendship lesson was in order. A second later she came. It was possible that the letter would be too steamy to send to any princess, but it didn't mean that she couldn't keep it in a... personal collection.
