Help Wanted

The chiming of the breakfast bell rang throughout the caste halls, calling Princess Cadence and her grumbling stomach to the royal dinner table. Even before opening the massive golden doors leading up to the fancy dining room, the young alicorn could already smell the freshly cooked breakfast items enticing her raging stomach to insufferable degrees.

She barged through the doors to be met with a normal but pleasing sight. Plates and bowls of food covered the table, hiding the violet and gold-rimmed tablecloth and raspberry table runner underneath. There was almost no end to the mouthwatering morsels: brown cinnamon pancake towers topped with melted butter and blueberry syrup and fields of powdered sugar, pink strawberry pancakes drizzled with strawberry jam, french toast, french bagels, french fries made to look and taste like french toast strips, fruit-filled crepes, cheese and egg-stuffed croissants, and the table just went on and on.

The combination of sights and smells shattered what little modesty and control Cadence had left, forcing her to leap into her seat and dive straight into a tower of cinnamon rolls flattened out to look like pancakes. Forks and knives laid to the side abandoned and neglected as the young princess decimated her plate, leaving only frosting and tiny crumbs in the aftermath. She leaned back in her seat and released a satisfied belch as she patted her nearly full belly.

"Excuse you, Cadenza."

An angelic voice caught the princess by surprise from her post-pancake satisfaction. She sat up in her seat and looked around for the source of the voice. The sound of clacking hooves turned her head to the left to see her foster aunt walking along the side of the table. Cadence shamefully wiped away the crumbs and sticky frosting from her muzzle and coat before leaping off of her seat and bowing before the majestic monarch.

"Good morning, Princess Celestia," she said with reverence.

She awaited her superior to command her to rise from her stance, but she didn’t say a word. Cadence opened her eyes and looked up while still retaining her respectful form to see Princess Celestia looking down at her with a playful smile, as if taking pleasure in watching her niece struggle to keep her position. The young alicorn's limbs began to tremble and lose balance, further edging her to fall.

"You can get up now," Celestia giggled.

Cadence does as she is told, but suddenly lost stability and collapsed onto the velvet carpet floor with a loud thud. She glared up at her aunt who struggled to hide her amusement at her prank.

"I'm sorry, my dear," she said while stifling a chuckle. "I just couldn't help it. Also, you don't need to address me so formally. You are my niece after all."

Celestia stretched out her hoof, which Cadence gratefully accepted as she wiped away her annoyed expression, and pulled her niece back up into a loving hug.

"Enjoying the food I prepared?" Celestia asked as she hugged her niece into her fluffy chest.

"I enjoyed every bit of it, as always," Cadence replied with content. "Although, I wish I could have had some more pancakes before you interrupted me, Aunty."

Celestia walked the young princess back over to her chair and gestures with a wing to sit down. "Who says you can't?"

She levitated one of the neglected forks and took a piece out of one of the strawberry pancakes. The rush of sweet, natural flavors flooded her palate and taste buds until her mouth tingled with a sharp, sugary sensation.

"Oh my! I never fail to impress, do I?" Celestia askd with pride.

Cadence chuckled as she took a bite out of the pancake, diving into the same sea of flavor as Celestia did. She took another bite, and then another, and another, until nothing was left on her plate for her or Celestia. Cadence chuckled awkwardly as her aunt gawked in surprise at her niece's swift consumption.

"Uh, if you don't mind, Aunty, I'm just gonna go see if Twilight's family needs some foalsitting done later today." The young alicorn turned around to leave, but Celestia's voice dragged her back.

"About that, may I have a word with you, dear?" Her voice was gentle as always but it had a deep, serious tone to it this time.

Immediately, Cadance stops in her tracks and glances back over to the monarch, wondering what could cause her to sound so down. "Is everything all right, Aunty?"

Celestia takes a deep breath and exhales sharply before she responds to the anxious alicorn. "Cadenza—"

"I'd like to just be called Cadence, please."

The monarch nods in compliance. "Cadence, you're of age now and as a mature mare you have certain responsibilities, milestones if you will, that you need to accomplish in life." Cadence doesn't know where she's going with this. "It's time you went out and found yourself a job."

Ears drooped and eyes wide with shock, Cadence can't believe what she's hearing. "A j-job?" she stammers. Celestia gives her a reaffirming nod with a blank face to show her she's being serious. "B-but I already have one foalsitting with Twilight Sparkle. Why do I need to get another job?"

Resting a hoof on the young princess's shoulder, Celestia peers into her bright purple eyes which are darkened by worry. "I know you love spending time with that little unicorn, but...it doesn't pay enough to provide for your future, sweetie."

"Provide for my future? I live in your castle, how can my future not be supported with nearly all of the wealth in Equestria?"

Celestia sighs in distress. 'This one is going to be difficult to reel in'. "Because what if I'm not around to provide for you? And besides, that money is to provide for our citizens in times of need, not to be spent frivolously on makeup and glamour items."

"But I don't spend money on that stuff, Aunty." She zips her muzzle when she notices her aunt's all too familiar stern glare.

"The point being," the monarch continues, "you have to learn how to live on your own and take care of yourself like any other pony. Luna and I once had to do some actual work to provide for ourselves, despite living with Starswirled the Bearded when we were your age."

The cloud of sadness and anxiety hanging over Cadence's head disappears, now replaced with intrigue and curiosity as she takes in her aunt's words. "Really?"

Celestia gives a nod as she smiles. 'Gotcha.’ "Of course. Starswirled was insistent that we find a way to provide for ourselves. He explained that it builds character, modesty, and integrity when you're in a working environment and being independent. Wouldn't you like to feel something like that, Cadenz—ahem—Cadence?"

So many thoughts are currently running loose in Cadence's mind, most of them having to focus on leaving Twilight, one of the few fillies she's grown to love. However, Celestia is right, she has to grow up and do something that'll help her in her future.

'Foalsitting is fun and I enjoy spending quality time with Twilight, but I need to do something a grown mare would do.' "I'll do it!" she exclaims with newfound confidence.

"I knew you'd make the right choice. If you'd like, I can give you some suggestions for jobs or you can search on your own."

Cadence thinks long and hard about this gap in the road. 'Either ask for help and not know what I'm doing or put in some effort and be independent for once.' Having made up her mind, she smiles up at her loving aunt. "I'll be independent and work on finding my own job. Thank you, Aunty!" She gives the monarch a warm embrace, which she returns by enveloping her in her snow-white wings.

"So, what job did you have in mind?" Celestia asks.

Opening her eyes, Cadence realized one thing she completely neglected. "Uh..."

"You have no idea do you?" Celestia releases the young princess from her hold and looks down at her embarrassed face. Small pools of red form hidden within the sea of pink on her cheeks. "Well, think about it, what are you most experienced in?"

"Foal sitting?"

"Exactly. I'm sure you can earn more by working for a daycare instead of in a household."

"Yeah, I guess so. Thank you again, Aunty!"

With her goals finally set in stone, Cadence rushes out of the dining room and through the front doors of the palace in a rush. She'd better find a job before all the good ones are taken.

Celestia looks back at her excessive meal and frowns. "Great, made all of this for nothing, apparently." She uses her magic to collect all of the uneaten food into a large ball, condensing it until it shrinks and disappears into nothingness.

As she walks back to her chambers, one of the Royal Guards was watching from behind a corner and saw what the princess had done to the massive buffet just sitting on the table. She and her niece weren't going to finish it anyway, why not leave something out for the guards? Celestia stops to glance back at the guard peeking at her. She smiles and gives him a wink as she shakes her rump from side to side, enticing the stallion to come closer.

The guard steps out from his hiding place and stands at attention in respect for the princess. He tries to avert his gaze from her majesty's voluptuous globes, but he can see her swaying her hips out of his peripheral vision, making it harder to refrain from getting a boner.

"Looks like you're not the only one standing at attention," the princess chortles. The guard follows her gaze and notices the bulb of his shaft peeking out from beneath him. "You know..." The princess makes her way over to the virtuous guard, strutting down the velvet carpet, one hoof in front of the other. "...now with Cadence out, I can finally have some alone time with my special Royal Guards."

The stallion's face is boiling red at this point; dewdrops of sweat run down his face as he tries to keep his composure, but his twitching member and Celestia's harmonious, erotic voice only makes things worse. 'Would it be wrong of me to just...fuck her here and now?'

"Call the rest of your squad and tell them to meet me in my chambers in fifteen minutes."

The guard gives a firm nod and runs over to the barracks to alert the rest of his squad just as the princess had commanded.

"And hopefully Cadence's new job will keep her busy for most of the day as well. A princess needs to have fun without a filly running around all the time."

“Excuse me, ma’am!” Cadence calls out to a mare in a daycare. “You wouldn’t be hiring right now, would you?”

“Oh, sorry dear, we just received our last hire. You’re going to have to find another daycare. Sorry!”

As the door slams in her face, Cadence leaves in a disheartened huff. “Damnit, that was the fourth daycare that rejected me so far. I guess that huge estrus wave a few months ago really affected the economy for better...and for worse.”

Every establishment she's come across either doesn't need employees or currently has enough and simply forgot to take their "Help Wanted" signs down.

'How can I go back to the castle and tell Aunty Celestia I haven't found a single job?' she thinks in shame.

She continues to scour the city of Canterlot for any place that could hire somepony with her expertise, but no matter where she turns, there's nothing in store for her. The sun is already going down for the day, and the fear in Cadence's heart began to rise.

'Maybe I should have just stuck to letting her show me what to do first. I can't do things on my own!'

A flashing pink light catches her attention, turning her head to the source: a large, one-story building with a flickering pink sign with the words TIPSY MAGIC appearing and disappearing, leaving Cadence in darkness and back in the light. A bright green unicorn horn sparking magical essence accompanies the glowing text to complete the eye-grabbing image of the establishment. The building itself is pretty pink with blue rims around the roof and borders. More neon lights are etched into the grooves between the roof and the building body. What intrigues Cadence the most, however, is the eye-catching "HELP WANTED" sign on the front door.

She smiles with glee as she can just imagine herself in a real job—one that can satisfy her and make her aunt proud. Well, only make her satisfied. A bar isn’t the best option for her, but what other options are randomly popping up for her to take?

The princesses have never tasted a drop of sinful nectar nor have they ever gone near it. The only alcohol allowed in the castle—at least for the princesses, as the guards can drink whatever they want—is some bubbling chardonnay and some fruity crimson wine. But being a bartender or server doesn't mean she has to drink from their selection. In fact, she probably wouldn't be allowed to, so that's a good thing in her and Celestia's books.

"Hey, some job is better than no job," she claims.

She opens the door to the establishment to be met with a breathtaking scene. Nopony else is here, which means she can gawk at the decorations and splendor as much as she wants without getting in anypony's way. Alternating blue and red lights from chandeliers shower the room as if it itself were a beautiful display. Black cushy chairs are seated around round black tables and near a stage in the back of the establishment. A bar sits off to the side filled with shimmering alcohol that can satisfy anypony with a saddened heart or just wants to drink for fun. In the very center of the building is a small silver podium with more black chairs surrounding it than any other table. It has a large golden pole in the middle, which seems odd to Cadence.

'I wonder what a random poll is used for in a bar like this?'

"Excuse me, miss?" A gruff Bronconian voice startles the young princess from her spectating, causing her to turn her head to see a burly unicorn stallion with a black waistcoat, yellow and black striped tie, and white fedora. His coat is hard to identify with the shifting of the lights, but Cadence can sort of make out a murky green color similar to the baby food Twilight vomits up. His mane and tail are jet black with gray highlights. Stubble lines the outline of his muzzle, giving him a stubborn, aggressive look, but peering into his eyes, Cadence can see a kind soul. “Can I help ya?”

Cadence snaps out of her trance to address the citizen. “Good evening, my name is Princess Cadence, and—“

“A PRINCESS!?” the owner screams. He looks over the mare, taking notice of her horn and wings. Cadence is taken aback by his sudden explosion but becomes uncomfortable as he bows before her. "S-so sorry your majesdee. Whateva can I do fah you?"

Cadence looks around the establishment, not knowing what to do. She's received this approach before, but she always has a hard time responding to it. "It's fine, sir. You can rise."

The stallion stands at attention in respect for her majesty, however, Cadence cringes at the sharp presentation of formality. "So, may I ask what her majesty is doing in a place like this?" he asks with confusion.

Looking around the establishment, Cadence doesn't see why anypony wouldn't want to venture to a place like this. "I saw your help wanted sign out front and I thought I'd sign up for a job." She says all of that with a proud smile, but the stallion stares at her, bewildered.

"Uh, Princess—"

"Call me Cadence."

"A-are you sure?"

She gives a simple nod. " When I'm out and about like this, I prefer to be treated informally."

"Alright then, Cadence, you do realize this is a strip bah, right?"

Her happy attitude crumbles away and is replaced with disgust and distress. "What? But, but I thought this was just a bar. The sign out front didn't say anything about it being a strip joint."

"Really?" The stallion walks past the confounded princess and out the front doors. He looks up at the flashing sign and stomps his hoof on the pavement. "Damn. Thank you fah pointing that auut." He presses a button to the left of the front doors and a loud click can be heard from outside. The lights outside flash once more until they burn out, leaving the street in darkness. "Sorry about that. A big ol' 'XXX' was supposed to be shinin' out thahe but I forgot to toon that one on. The lights aren't even supposed to be aun during closing time anyway, what in Tartarus was I doing? " The stallion looks at the princess's distraught expression and gives her a gentle tap on the foreleg to bring her back to reality. "Er, if I may ask, why are you trying to look fah a job? You didn’t get kicked auut auf the castle, did you?”

“Heheh, no. Her majesty just told me I need to learn to take care of myself since I’m of age. And um…” She looks around at the establishment, feeling uncomfortable in the lewd atmosphere. “I was trying to find a daycare job, but you know, the estrus wave. So I just happened to stumble upon this place.”

The stallion takes a seat in one of the black chairs and gestures for the princess to take one herself, which she respectfully does. “Are you certain you want to join the family? I mean, you don’t have to be just a stripper ya know.” At those words, he uses his magic to pull out a cardboard box from behind the bar counter. Cadence blushes at the lewd contents within. Bunny outfits complete with floppy ears, fishnet stockings, and latex suits in an assortment of colors, each complete with a fluffy white tail. “These are auur business's waitress uniforms. You can get aune if you plan aun working here.”

"I dunno. The whole scenario seems kinda...out of my comfort zone."

“Yup. Of course with you princesses not usually being all that into stuff like this, it’s understandable.” He looks her over and smiles warmly. “Howeva, a princess wouldn’t waltz into a bah looking fah a job neitha. I mean, I’ve neva seen Princess Celestia trot in and aurda a Slim Gin from any auf the local pubs and bars. Do you think she’d like a Slim Gin? It has an earthy flavah to it but the aftertaste is heavenly.”

“T-true, a princess usually wouldn’t enter an establishment such as this, but…”

“Ya really need the job.”

Cadence nods with shame, averting her eyes from the owner’s gaze. ‘A princess working in a strip bar is crazy, but my dream of working in a daycare center is flushed down the crapper, so...where else do I turn?’ Every instinct tells Cadence she should leave, but she has to get a job. She NEEDS to get a job.

“Look, I’ll give ya time to think about it. You don’t have to do any stripping, no sexual stuff, just serve drinks and meals.”

“In the bunny—”

“In the bunny costume, yaww. I’m not persuading aur trying to encourage you to wok fah me if you really don’t want to, given your status but, you know, to prove to your folks that you can support yourself, you can join.”

Cadence looks outside to notice the sun is almost below the horizon and the moon will make its way up soon. Her aunt could be looking all over Equestria for her. The last thing Cadence needs is for Celestia to find her niece hanging out in a strip bar.

“I should probably get going,” she claims as she rises from her seat. “Princess Celestia will be searching for me if I don’t come home soon.” She turns to the stallion, who nods in understanding. “Uh, I’ll sleep on it, okay?”

The stallion nods his head in agreement. “You can come by tomorrow morning when we’re aupen so I can show you the ropes. That is if you're still interested. Seven in the morning works best fah incoming newbies.”

As Cadence heads toward the front door, she stops just as she remembers something important. “Can I get your name, please?”

“Slam Bam, ma’am.” He tips his fedora to the princess as she leaves for the night with a smile. As the doors shut behind the alicorn, Slam Bam can't help but watch her derrière swinging back and forth with every step she takes. "Damn. Fah a young princess, she has a similah candy ass to Celestia. I really hope she says yaww."

“Cadence!” Celestia gallops over to her niece and embraces her in a loving hug with her wings. “Where in Equestria have you been? The moon’s almost up and I haven’t seen you since this morning. What took you so long?”

The young princess hangs her head in shame but becomes elated once again as she remembers her events of the day. “Sorry, Aunty. I was having some trouble with the job hunt.”

“You didn’t get the daycare job?” A slight shake of the head is all Celestia had to see to understand. “I see. I’m sorry you didn’t get what you wanted.”

“Yeah, about that. I kinda got another offer...”

“You have!?” the princess shrieks with joy. “Where? When? I mean today of course, but where?”

‘Crap!’ She had said too much. ‘I can’t tell Aunty Celestia about the strip joint. Tartarus, I didn't even get a job yet!’ “Uh, at a local bar!”

Immediately, Celestia’s joyous expression fades into a serious frown. “What?”

“I know it’s not what you were expecting me to get, and it's not something a princess or even royalty would think of—"

A hoof is placed on her muzzle to shut her up as Celestia looks over her with sympathy. She brushes her hoof through her bright mane for reassurance.

“I'm not mad, just...surprised is all.” Cadence could have sworn she sounded upset but decides not to press it any further. “Indeed, it's not something I'd expect from you, considering our roles, but it would probably help you learn how the world works, especially in a difficult environment."

"It may be difficult, but I'll handle it in a sinch, Aunty."

Celestia chuckles at her niece's determination and embraces her in a warm hug.

"Oh yeah, I have to be there by seven tomorrow to learn the gist around there," Cadence adds.

"Seven? That seems pretty early, don't you think?"

"Yes, but the owner doesn't want me bugging other customers on my training day, you know."

Celestia smiles at her niece with joy as she rests a wing on her back. "Well then, I think somepony had better get some sleep before their big day." The two hug once more before departing for their chambers for the night.

Finished with her nightly routines, Cadence crawls into the safety of her warm sheets and snuggles in the soft shield that defends her from the spears of cold air. Although feeling warm and comfy, a freezing icicle forms in her heart, bearing down on her and filling her with doubt.

'What if I'm forced to do something obscene over there? I hope I just have to worry about the bunny costume and nothing else...and Aunty finding out about my secret.'

New Experiences

"Cadence wake up!" Celestia rustles the sleeping mare from her slumber with a start.

The drowsy Cadence looks up at the strange figure with foggy eyes, still trying to focus in on her surroundings. With everything a blur, it's almost impossible to see who she's talking to, even when they're right in front of her.

"Aunty?"

"Cadence, it's almost seven in the morning! Get up!"

The young alicorn's eyes shoot into focus as they widen with distress. "WHAT?!" she explodes. "I could have sworn I turned my alarm on?" She tilts her alarm clock to face her, only for her to realize it's 6:40, only twenty minutes before she has to be at her new job. "Oh no, oh no, oh no!"

"I already made you breakfast in the dining room. Hurry up and eat so you can get to your new job. Oooh, I'm so proud of my little filly!" Celestia hugs her niece with a rib-crushing grip, preventing her from starting her day.

"A-Aunty! Ack!”

She releases her hold on the young princess, laughing nervously at her mistake. "Sorry, dear, I'm just so excited! You've managed to get a job on your first day!"

Cadence gasps for air as she struggles to smile at her beloved aunt, enjoying the adoration and pride. "Thank you, Aunty. Now, about that breakfast?"

"Forget about eating in the dining room. You don't have much time left."

In front of Cadence, a steaming plate of pancakes with whipped cream and berry faces appear before he out of thin air. The aroma is too much to retain any dignity and Cadence proceeds to devastate her aunt's creation before her eyes. Bits and pieces of pancake flesh and features fly around the bedroom—some ending up in Celestia's coat and face—until only fruity juices and whipped cream remain on the plate.

"Thank you for the meal, Aunty. Now, if you don't mind, I have a job to get to!" Cadence proceeds to rush out of her bedroom and through the castle halls until Celestia's demanding tone stops her.

"Cadence, wait one minute!" The alicorn freezes in her tracks as she looks back to see her aunt gleefully catching up to her. A large smile is etched across her face, which worries Cadence to her core. "Did you try running off without me?"

“W-what do you mean?”

“I’m coming with you to see your new workplace!”

Cadence's eyes fill with fear at Celestia's suggestion. 'There is no way in Tartarus I am going to take her with me.' "I'd love to take you, but...I don't want the citizens to stop and sign for autographs and present us with stuff on the way there, you know? Too much traffic, and I'll be late for work.” 'Terrible excuse, but she has to understand, right?'

“Oh, that’s not going to be a problem if you can just teleport us there!” Celestia’s gleeful smile grows for better while Cadence’s fears grow for worse.

The young princess puts on the fakest, happiest smile she can conjure to present to her aunt. ‘Why did I take that offer!?’ "No problem!”

Using her magic, Cadence envelops her and Celestia in a crystal-blue aura. Their bodies begin to tingle—a reaction caused by the body being ripped apart molecule by molecule in order to get to a random location. In a bright flash of light, both princesses disappear from the bedroom and appear before Cadence's future place of work.

The flashing TIPSY MAGIC text and green unicorn horn image amaze Celestia, but luckily the "XXX" sign isn't lit up yet so she has no idea what the place really is.

"Alright, we're here. You can go back to the castle now, Aunty.”

Cadence taps her hoof impatiently on the pavement, waiting for her aunt to leave her alone so she can enter and begin work without revealing her secret. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen, as Celestia's eyes shimmer in awe at the detail and semi-glamorous style of the building.

"Are you kidding? I want to see my little niece at work. What job do you have, how do you work, what does it feel like to be paid?"

Cadence cocks an eyebrow at the last question. "What do you mean 'feel like to be paid'? I thought you worked before?"

"Oh, I-I mean, back in my day, we got paid very little. At least three bits an hour for five hours a day. Now I've heard ponies are being paid by the pouch-full!"

'Yeah, I bet places like strip bars pay a crap-ton of cash.' Cadence walks toward the door with Celestia still trailing right behind her. "Um, Aunty, you can't go inside with me. It's my job after all."

"Oh I know, but can't I just watch?"

"NO!" Her explosion catches Celestia by surprise as if she had done something wrong. "I mean, no. What would ponies think if their princess is—and forgive me for saying this, I mean no disrespect at all—a creep who likes to peer into businesses from the shadows like a 'peeping tom'."

Celestia's eyes widen in surprise at such a harsh description. Would ponies really think of her as a...peeping tom for businesses? 'What does that even mean anyway?' "Okay, if you really think so, then I'll see you back at the castle." The princess generates a golden field around herself and disappears without a trace.

Still unsure about her aunt’s integrity, Cadence looks around in case she is still hiding anywhere. After looking above the roofs and near the alleyways, she confidently, but anxiously enters the strip bar.

Once again, the place is empty with not a single customer in sight and the lights continue to fade between red and blue, shrouding the room in a spectacular shower of colors. The only difference to the atmosphere is the sound of techno music blaring through powerful speakers.

"Hey, glad you could make it, Princess."

Cadence looks over to her left to see Slam Bam waving her over with a smile. She trots over to him, averting her gaze in this strange environment.

"...I'm guessing by the fact that you came back means you'd like to wok fah me?"

"Y-yes, sir."

Slam cocks an eyebrow with interest at the princess's subservient attitude. "Huh. First time a princess has eva called me 'sir'. Gonah be some getting used to, but enough about me, you ready to wok?"

Cadence rubs her forehoof as she nods in compliance. "Yes. Uh, where's the uniform again?"

"Ho-ho! Pretty eaga aren’t ya?" His amused look fades away as he notices Cadence blushing with embarrassment. "Uh, sorry fah the informalities, but that's kinda what you'll be experiencing here."

"Oh, uh, no problem. I'm kinda just glad to be treated like a normal citizen for once. Or, well, a citizen."

As she finished talking, Slam brought around the box full of bunny suits—not noticing the last half of her sentence. Once again, Cadence blushes at the thought of wearing something so lascivious, but she sucks up her apprehension and levitates a shimmering sapphire-blue suit. She smiles since it actually goes well with her pink coat and mane highlights.

"Good choice. Now, the autha mares are in the left dressing room in the back." Slam gestures a hoof over to a yellow door with a purple star in the top middle with the word WAITRESSES in cloud-blue letters. "They're pretty nice aunce you get to know them. They'll show you the ropes aun what to do fah your first time, so I suggest you get dressed before we aupen in..." He trails off as he looks over at the round clock hanging off the wall above the bar. "...a little less than aune auuwwah."

Swallowing the anxious lump in her throat, Cadence makes her way over to the dressing room to meet her new "co-workers". She opens the door to be greeted with a rather warm scene.

The room is bright, for starters. Lights are placed in almost every corner of the room, along with some small bulbs lining the edges of four mirrors. Make up items and hair and coat products sit on tables, ready to make any mare look like a model. A small, red bean bag couch sits near the back of the room for ponies that may need to relax after work.

Sitting in dove-white pump chairs, four mares, each wearing different colored uniforms, help each other get ready for the day. All of their eyes suddenly shift onto Cadence, the newbie. She smiles nervously at the group of strangers, who continue to stare blankly at her without saying a word of introduction.

"Uh, hi."

No response.

"...I'm kinda the new hire?"

One of the mares—a unicorn with a golden coat and seafoam green mane and tail, wearing an oil-black uniform—approaches her. Cadence has no idea if she had said something wrong or what, but she doesn't like how quiet everypony is being while watching what's happening. The mare stands in front of the princess with an inquisitive look, scrutinizing her up and down, front and back.

"Huh. Never thought a princess would work in a strip bar. That's pretty cool."

The volume of tension leaving Cadence's body makes her want to calmly deflate like a balloon. The worry disappears from her heart once she knows she hasn't messed up already.

"...So what's your name, newbie?"

"C-Cadence."

"Well, Cadence, it's nice to meet you. The name's Wet Breeze. That's not my real name, of course, just my stage name. Over there, you got Hot Topic..."

She points a hoof at one of the other mares—another unicorn with a crimson coat, black and red highlighted frazzled mane and tail, wearing a snow-white uniform—who gives the newcomer a kind wave of her hoof. "Guten tag!"

"...Then, you've got Moist Muse..."

She points to another pony—an earth pony with a tangerine coat and a straightened electric blue mane and tail, wearing a purple uniform—who's currently trying to tie her mane into a fancy ponytail but manages to greet Cadence with a smile and nod.

"...And finally, you've got Sweet Sizzle".

The last mare—a pegasus with a hazelnut coat and dark chocolate mane and tail, wearing a bright teal uniform—leaps from her seat and dashes over to the princess.

"So, you're really a princess?" she asks with enthusiasm.

Her voice makes her sound young. Could she be around the same age as Cadence?

Her eyes gleam with awe as she looks Cadence over. "...Wow, I never thought a princess would be working with us!"

Cadence chuckles carefree for the first time she's been here. Her anxiety and worry have completely dissolved from her heart and is now filled with a new sense of belonging in this group of mares—even if they do work in a smutty environment.

"I know, but hey, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for all of you I guess. You know, having a princess work a job like this? Now, uh, how do I put this thing on?" Cadence pulls up her uniform and proceeds to twist and turn the outfit, but with something so unfamiliar to her, it's impossible to know which goes first and where.

"Here, sweetie, I got you." Wet Breeze levitates the uniform and takes it apart, once piece at a time. "You gotta disassemble it before you can assemble it onto you. Alright, first things first, the bunny ears." Breeze floats the pair of blue ears atop Cadence's head, packing the band deep into her mane. "You're looking cute already, Cadence."

The princess blushes from the compliment and looks away bashfully. 'Well, I've been called everything from stunning to downright beautiful, but never cute.'

"Alright, the stockings and shoes..."

The fishnet stockings and black, heeled shoes slide perfectly onto Cadence's hindlegs, but each individual fiber of the stockings feel like they're trying to cut through her flesh.

"...It's pretty tight but you'll get used to it. Alright, now for the bodysuit. Just raise your hind legs one at a time, okay?"

Cadence does as she is told as the blue bodysuit comes from behind her, giving Cadence the chance to raise her right hind leg up to insert into the first hole, then her left hind leg into the other hole. A special hole is carved out in the very back to make space for her tail to poke through. She unfurls her wings and allows the suit to come up to her chest nicely, letting it fit perfectly around her bosom. She folds her wings back down, perfectly snuggling them against her latex body.

"...Oops! Can't forget to tighten it."

Wet Breeze uses her magic to pull loose strings on either side of the uniform, constricting the bodysuit around Cadence's ribs and abdomen.

‘So much for it being comfortable!’

"...Sorry about that. It's mandatory that the uniforms be as tight as possible, but the longer you wear it, the less you'll notice it. Also, it hides your Cutie Mark pretty well."

Cadence looks back at her flank to see her crystal heart Cutie Mark hidden under the tight uniform. Now nopony will be able to recognize who she is, thank Celestia. Though, she can't help but feel a slight breeze along her rear.

"...And the collar and cuffs to finally top you off." A white collar with a blue bowtie snaps around her neck with ease, while the white cuffs latch tightly around her forehooves. Breeze moves back to examine the princess in all her new beauty. "Damn, you look stunning, Princess!"

Cadence blushes again from the strange compliment but maintains eye contact this time. "Thank you, girls. So, what do we—"

"Hey, vait eh minute!" Hot topic exclaims. All heads turn to her as she moves behind Cadence, noticing something off about her outfit "You forkot somezing, you two."

Wet Breeze moves to where the other unicorn is and sees what she's talking about. "Uh, Cadence, we forgot one little detail to your suit."

Cadence raises an eyebrow in confusion as she looks around the room. There are no more pieces of the uniform lying around. Just...

'Oh no.'

On the floor, sitting neglected and eagerly awaiting its insertion is the fluffy, white bunny tail with a bulbous silicone end. The tip is slender while further down it becomes thicker and seems more painful. A small notch is near the base, seemingly to hold it in place during its insertion. The base itself is flattened out to prevent excessive intrusion. Although the poof ball rolls around the ground from the chilling breeze of the air conditioner, Cadence can't help but feel that it's wriggling on its own, begging to be part of her costume.

"Do I really have to wear that thing?" She winces at the giggling ball of fluff, unsure about its use. "And where would it go anyway?"

All of the mares look at each other with pursed lips and awkward looks. Cadence looks at each of them, questioning their glances until a small breeze hits her butt and the realization suddenly hits her.

"...Oh, no, no, no, no, no. NO!" She backs away from the mares and the tail lying on the floor in a hurry, nearly knocking over some expensive makeup equipment in the process. "I am NOT putting that thing in my butt!"

"Well, you're gonna have to," Moist Muse says as she finishes up her mane. "What kind of bunny doesn't have the signature snowball tail?"

Cadence swallows another nervous lump lodged in her throat. At this point, her stomach could be holding numerous amounts of nervous lumps.

"D-does it hurt?"

"Nah, of course not!" Sweet Sizzle claims. Cadence releases a relaxed sigh, feeling a lot more reassured now. "I mean, you gotta have some lube first to get it in nice and snuggly."

"Oh."

"Hey, Topic, you got any lube left over there?"

The unicorn checks around her area, only to present a drained bottle of slimy pink fluid. "Es tut mir leid*, just used ze last bit. Maybe you can ask Slam if he's got any in ze back."

Moist Muse looks up at the clock hanging over their mirrors and winces at the time passed. "I don't think we have enough time to look for some extra lube, girls. Gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way. Topic, you mind helping me out?"

Cadence doesn't know what the "old-fashioned way" is but it doesn't sound pleasant. Her fears grow even more as she watches the earth pony stick the silicone end into her mouth, slathering it with slimy saliva from the entrance. She doesn't go all the way at first, just swirling her tongue around the tip and slowly working her way down to the base, devouring the object inch by inch until the entire plug is in her muzzle. She closes her eyes and lets out a small moan as she keeps the tail in her mouth for more time than needed, circling her tongue around the entire body of the lewd object.

A warm sensation develops in the young alicorn's intimate parts from viewing the strange scene before her. Her crotch feels moist and the tight uniform inconspicuously but tangibly rubs the wet spot, unbearably exciting the princess even more.

'Oh, Celestia! What is this feeling in my privates!'

Another feeling jolts her butt, causing her to yelp in surprise. She glances back to see Hot Topic's muzzle digging into her tight plot. A wet tendril rolls around the puckered entrance of her ass and penetrates the gateway, lubricating it with her spit.

A soft hoof rests on Cadence's shoulder, making her look over to see Sweet Sizzle gently leaning on her with a smile as she watches the salacious scene. "Don't worry about it, Cadence. Once you've experienced a rimjob, you'll love it forever."

Cadence doesn't know if what she's saying is true, but her body's sensations keep her from focusing. She feels like she's about to collapse like loose jello. Her eyes widen with concern, however, as she watches the plug withdrawing from Moist's warm mouth, leaving a thick bridge of clear lubricant between Moist's muzzle and the tail.

"Celestia, I wish I had more time with this, but we have work in less than thirty minutes, sooo..." The lustful earth pony looks over at Cadence and approaches her with the lubricated object in her mouth. "Can you turn around for me? Jush relax your body as ish coming in."

Hot Topic pulls away from the princess's now-moist ass—spittle dribbling down her cheeks and into the small gap leading to her pussy. She tingles as the small drop caresses her sensitive, virgin folds like a sly serpent wriggling in her chamber. The horny mare licks her lips as she savors the taste of royalty.

"Lecker*. Alright, brace yourself Cadence."

Hesitantly, she complies with the command and presents her bare rump to the rest of the mares. A wave of embarrassment floods her thoughts, but almost immediately, those thoughts are chased away by feelings of sharp pain as her plot suddenly expands, trying to take in the foreign object. The warm lubricant stains and slathers the coat of her cheeks and anal lips, tingling the sensitive nerves around it.

"Oh...hah...fuck!"

In shame, Cadence cuffs her mouth with a hoof. For the first time in her life, Cadence, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, had sworn out loud, and it felt great! A feeling of pride and joy wells up in her heart, filling her with a delightful sense of not having to be so formal and uptight.

A little bit more force manages to push the tail in another inch, this time drowning out the pain with a feeling of pleasure.

"...Ah, fuck yes!"

Once again, Cadence swears without censorship or hesitation, letting the joyous feeling of barrier breaking overwhelm her. One final push sends the tail diving deep into her anal cavity, taking up all of the space within her orifice. She releases a loud moan that echoes throughout the small room as the plug rests comfortably in her ass.

The first-time shock of pleasure overwhelms the nerves in her hind legs, making it difficult for her to stand up. The bunny tail doesn't make it any better as every struggling step she takes contracts the walls of her anus, tightening it around the silicone structure lodged within, and forcing jolts of bliss to course through her body.

"Erstaunlich*, you took zat like eh pro, especially for eh virgin," Hot Topic comments.

Cadence wearily smiles at her new "co-worker" while still recovering from the pleasure rush. "Yeah, I'm surprised too. So, when do we start work?"

"Hold on one more minute," Wet Breeze. says. "We can't let you go out looking like that. Ponies will recognize you in a heartbeat. Do you know what you need?"

This is one thing Cadence understands. Although she'll use it to mask her identity, it's still a fun thing to do. "Makeover?" she asks with sparkling eyes.

The girls shout in unison. "MAKEOVER!"

They plop the princess into a chair and turn her around to face the mirror. Her appearance is beautiful and adorable in the bunny suit, but that's not enough to hide her character.

"So, what do you think we should do, girls?" Sweet Sizzle asks eagerly. "How about we start with the mane? Change up the style a little or maybe the color?"

"You know, Cadence," Hot Topic interjects, "your arsch vaz tasty back zere. How about eh stage name zat goes vhit zat, und zen ve kan choose eh style zat fits!"

Cadence thinks about the idea and nods in agreement. "I like that idea. So, do any of you have any suggestions?"

Moist Muse places a hoof on the princess's voluptuous globe and gives it a nice squeeze, causing her to release a startled yelp. "Tasty ass and a coat that looks like cotton candy. How about Candy Ass?"

The other mares look to Cadence for her suggestion to the offer. With all eyes on her, it's almost difficult to make a decision, but she comes up with her answer. "I like it. Candy Ass and Cadence. It almost sounds similar, but not too close, right?"

"That's right!" Wet Breeze replies. "Now about your makeup. How do you want to do this?"

Cadence looks herself in the mirror and turns her head from side to side, analyzing and deciding what should change. "Maybe...I can replace my yellow and purple highlights with some blues? And maybe some little candy prints on my cheeks."

"Sweet Celestia, that is amazing!" Breeze squeals. "You'll look like a pretty piece of cotton candy. That's so adorable!"

Per her request, the mares proceed to dye the princess's yellow and purple strands with light and faded blues, giving her mane and tail a cotton candy look, as Breeze had claimed. Small blue and purple candy wrappers are printed onto her cheeks a little below her eyes. In addition, they paint her lips and the tips of her wings light blue to give her an even more vibrant look. Looking herself over in the mirror, Cadence smiles with high self-esteem and delight at her new appearance.

"You look beautiful, 'Candy Ass'," Moist Muse compliments. She looks back up at the clock and gasps in horror. "Holy shit, we only have less than fifteen minutes left! We better show you the ropes and get you on your way before we open."

The mares rush out of the changing room and into the main foyer, where all the action will take place once the front doors open to welcome in the wave of eager stallions. Slam Bam is already tending to the drinks at the bar when he notices the girls walking towards him.

"Heya, girls." His eyes look travel over each waitress until he lands on Cadence. He ogles at her new appearance and arousing clothes, hooting in satisfaction. "Cadence, you look stunning in that auutfit, and I love the way you changed up your appearance; I actually almost didn't recognize you. You girls are smart thinkers, I'll give you that."

"Actually, Slam," Sizzle interjects, "her new stage name is Candy Ass!"

The owner raises his eyebrows in surprise. "That's a pretdee interesting name ya chose. I mean, who could argue autherwise, with that juicy ass you've got aun ya?"

Blushing once again, Cadence accepts the compliment without shying away this time. She stands her ground and puts on a proud, energetic smile to show her enthusiasm. "Thank you, sir. So, what exactly do I have to do here?"

"Girls?" Slam gestures to his waitresses with a tip of his fedora. "You can go ahead and show ha what ya'll do here. I'll go and spruce the place up a bit more and check aun the Stars." With that, Slam walks off to the back of the establishment. Cadence notices a door on the opposite side of the waitress changing room. It's a purple door with a golden star in the middle with the wordSTARS written in bright blue letters.

"What's that room?"

Hot Topic looks over to see where the princess is looking and gives a dreamy sigh. "Zat's vere ze Stars get ready for zeir shows. You know, ze strippers."

"Oh."

Cadence blushes as she thinks about the stylish mares presenting their bodies to the prurient patrons. Arousing costumes, erotic move-sets, and all the attention one could ever want are right there on the stage and podium.

"I've always wanted to be one," Moist says dreamily, "but I'm actually into mares."

Cadence is astonished at Moist's disclosure. 'I never knew ponies could date the same sex. You learn something new every day, I guess.' "That's...interesting, Moist."

"Thanks. You know, I'm just afraid I'll be set with a stallion backstage and I won't have a choice to get out of it."

"Wait, what do you—"

"OKAY, GIRLS!" Wet Breeze barks like a general, gathering everypony's attention and cutting off Cadence's question. "We have to make sure Candy Ass is ready for her debut as our new waitress." She turns to the princess and rests a hoof on her shoulder in a kind but stern fashion. "Look, it's a fun job, but it has its risks just like any other. Stallions will try to flirt with and tease you but you are, under no circumstances, allowed to flirt back. You can tease a little, strut over like a dominatrix and talk in a sexy tone to get them hard, but then you take their orders, leave—leave them with blue balls—and head back to the kitchen for the chefs to prepare it."

"Oh, and if anypony tries to touch you or caress you, that's not allowed, unfortunately," Sweet Sizzle states. "I personally like to be felt up by a stallion every once in a while. With his hooves and his—"

"AND, make sure you don't get too distracted by the strippers,” Moist interrupts. She glances back at the stage, envisioning the mares already on the poles, working their bodies to satisfy their viewers' lustful hearts. "...Yeah, don't get too distracted by the strippers."

"If you have any more questions, just let us know und ve'll help you out as much as ve kan." Hot Topic says as she places a hoof over the princess's shoulder. "We waitresses work together, die together."

Everypony looks at each other then back at her, awkwardly.

"Sorry, just a saying I've heard from ze younger ponies. Now zat I've said it out loud, it's not a good phrase."

"Well, anyway, thank you, everypony, for the help. I was actually kind of skeptical about...meeting my new co-workers."

"I know how you feel," Wet Breeze says. "Walk into a strip bar expecting a bunch of slutty ponies ready to rape you and expecting some competition in the workplace?"

"Kinda?" the princess replies

"Well, you don't have to worry about that here. Also, we're not co-workers, we’re friends here."

Cadence grows a gracious smile and hugs the unicorn tightly, taking her by surprise.

"Woah, okay."

Realizing her actions, the princess lets go of the surprised unicorn and averts her gaze while continuing to smile.

"Sorry, it's just really nice to have friends in such a strange environment. Thank you all again for helping me out."

Their heartfelt interaction is cut short as the chime of a bell rings throughout the establishment and Slam Bam rushes out of the Stars' room. "We're on soon, girls! Let's get this party started!"

The front doors open and a herd of stallions and some mares flood through. Either individually or in groups, the patrons sit in chairs surrounding the center podium, near the stage, near the walls, or at the bar, waiting for service and the show.

"Alright, Candy Ass," Wet Breeze whispers, "I'll stay with you to introduce you to the patrons." Cadence nods and the duo go over to their first table of the day.

The first group they walk up to is near the left side of the establishment. Three stallions and two mares sit around chatting and laughing over something, but it’s not a waitress’s job to know. It’s only their duty to serve.

“Hey, fellas,” Breeze says in an arousing tone. The ponies whip their heads over and smile at the incoming waitresses. “I’ve got a new friend for you all to meet. Say hello to Candy Ass.” The unicorn puts a hoof around the anxious alicorn, pulling her in front of her so the customers can see her cuteness.

Cadence gives a simple nod as her greeting while the patrons smile at her.

“Well, nice to meet ya, sweetheart,” one of the burlier stallions says kindly in a country accent. “Are you gonna be the one to take our orders for tonight?”

Cadence looks over at Breeze who gives her a gentle nudge with her hoof. “Yes, sir!” ‘Okay Cadence, you have to break out of your shell and bring out the freaky side. You know you have one, so bring it out.’

Almost by instinct. The princess bats her eyelashes at the group and struts over to them, gaining a few interested eyebrow curls. She places her forehooves on the table and lifts her rump shamelessly into the air for all to see.

“So, can I get you fine gentlecolts and ladies something to drink to get you started?” she says seductively. ‘Holy crap, I’m doing it! I’m actually being sexy! I told Aunty Celestia having a job would be a sinch.’

“We’ll all take a light beer, sweetheart, but my friend over here...” He rests a hoof over the shoulder of a scrawnier stallion who looks like he's is trying to fit in with the atmosphere and group, but is failing miserably, “...will take a Slim Gin.”

“Four light beers and one Slim Gin coming right up.”

Taking their orders, Cadence walks away from the table with a vainglorious grin, all while shaking her rump for the customers' pleasure. She can feel their eyes tasting her juicy rear, but they all know they won’t have the opportunity of physically feeling it.

Wet Breeze follows after her and gives her a pat on the back for a job well done. “Great job! I didn’t really think princesses had a sexy side to them. Well, they are sexy, I mean...you know what I mean.”

Cadence giggles as she makes her way over to the kitchen area where the chefs scurry like busy bees, preparing meals left and right for the awaiting diners.

"Hey, fellas!" Breeze shouts over the noise. "We've got an order of four light beers and a Slim Gin. Make it snappy, the ponies want to see their girls again."

The chefs scurry faster at Breeze's commanding voice, a trait Cadence particularly enjoys from this mare. She almost reminds her of one of the strict captains of the Royal Guard, except a bit more laid back and more willing to work in a lewd environment.

Almost immediately after Breeze had shouted the order, a chef pony presents the waitresses with a tray with five drinks for the five diners. Four emerald bottles of bubbling light beer along with a tall slender glass filled with shimmering indigo liquid.

"Alright, I'll let you take this one, Candy." Breeze envelops the platter with a green, magical aura and levitates it over to Cadence, who quickly surrounds it in her own magic field. "Just watch your step and keep an eye out for the other mares; don't bump into them and ruin your first day." She notices Cadence's face suddenly go sour. "You’ll do fine, don’t worry." She gives her a final pat on the back before heading out to serve some customers on her own.

Cadence walks out of the kitchen, butt-first, and walks back over to the table to be served. 'Okay, just calm down. Watch your step and watch out for the other waitresses. You got this Cadence. Now, show these ponies what you can do.'

As she nears the left side of the establishment, she scours the area for the ponies that requested the items. However, she can't seem to find them. A small bulb of sweat peeks out of a pore on her forehead and trickles down her face. Has she already forgotten where the table is? Are the customers already getting impatient with her? The alternating lights play a neutral role in helping her in this situation, as the shifting of dark and bright lights reveal and hide the crowd in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, Candy Ass, over here!"

Cadence recognizes the country accent of one of her guests and looks to her right to see the familiar table waving her over. A wave of relief washes over her as she trots over to the customers with their drinks floating right beside her.

"Sorry about the wait everypony."

The head pony smiles and waves the mistake away with a hoof. "'S'alright, darlin'. It is your first day on the job, so it'd be courteous of us or any pony to cut ya some slack."

"Thank you, sir."

Grateful tears begin to well up in her eyes, but she holds them back as to not look so emotional in front of the patrons.

"Now, why don't you go on ahead and help out some of the other customers. We'll call ya back if we need anythin' else, sugarplum."

Cadence nods and sets the drinks in front of their respective customers.

As she trots back to serve another table, she looks back to see everypony cracking open their beers, while the scrawny stallion looks up at his Slim Gin with a worried look. The country stallion nudges him in the forearm, persuading him to take a swig of the strong drink. He takes a small sip, his eyes light up as the flavor hits his tongue, and he immediately begins to chug the whole glass until minuscule drops remain on the walls and base of the tall glass. Cadence chuckles at the scene, knowing she's managed to satisfy some ponies with her work.

One by one, the princess waitress goes table after table, serving customers left and right and satisfying them with on-time meals and titillating service. Mares and stallions leave the premises, happy and pleased with their experience with her. The best part of all of it was that nopony managed to recognize her. Even with her horn and wings completely exposed, revealing her to be an alicorn, she still managed to earn recognition and adoration in the appearance of a normal citizen.

"Hey, Candy Ass." Hot Topic grabs the alicorn's attention and waves her over with a hoof to where the rest of the mares are waiting behind the bar. "All tables are served und busy eating. Now, ve can sit back und enjoy ze show for eh bit."

Weaving through the tables and crowds of ponies, Cadence makes it back to the bar where everypony is having a meal of their own. Moist Muse pushes a platter of cheese-drowned nachos to the princes and smiles generously.

“You’ve worked a good shift, princess. So just sit back, relax, eat, and watch the show.”

Cadence isn't sure what she means by “the show”, but her questions are cleared away as the lights dim and a set of overhead spotlights shine a rainbow of colors onto the stage. From the right side of the building, the Stars' door opens and a group of flamboyant-looking silhouettes of mares enter the scene. The place goes dead silent as everypony focuses on the Stars, waiting for their performance to begin.

"Ladies and gentlecolts..." Slam Bam's voice booms over an intercom above the stage, setting all lecherous eyes on the performers. "Presenting our first performer for tonight, she's one helluva model, but her clothes and fashion are nothing compared to the sexy figure underneath. Introducing, Fashionista Fanatica!"

Loud runway music blasts through the speakers, but as the crowd goes wild at the sound of her name, their cheers and hoof stomps drown out the music. The first mare to climb up to the stage is a unicorn with a peachy coat and orange mane with green-dyed streaks. She wears red and black-rimmed lingerie, while over that, she wears a sparkling amethyst coat that shines like a jewel, and fishnet stockings on her hind legs. Green rim shades obscure her face, but everypony knows she has to take everything off once the show begins to reveal her dazzling features.

She walks down over to the far right end of the stage, all eyes glued on her majestic form as she struts with elegance. She halts in front of a silver pole, the crowd encouraging her to use the object to her disposal and for their sexual satisfaction. She gets into a melting heart position and slowly lurches toward the pole, sliding her belly across the smooth stage surface and slowly rising like a serpent trying to slither up a tree. She only gets halfway up before she falls back over. She catches herself in time by grabbing onto the pole with a hoof and ends up spiraling around the steel shaft until finally standing on her hind legs with her butt facing the crowd, twerking it and letting her globes clap for her audience. She has yet to strip off her clothes and reveal the arousing flesh underneath to her deprived fans, despite their pleas.

Cadence watches the spectacle with awe. For some reason, her body begins to warm up just from the sight of the mare's spectacular techniques. She can feel her loins quivering in her tight uniform with an unsettling warmth and humidity.

"Hey, Cadence..." The stirred princess looks over at Sweet Sizzle eyeing her with a deep feeling of desire. "...you good there?"

All she can do is smile and give her a slight nod as she turns to look back at the performance; the next pony is ready to climb onto the stage.

"If spending time at a strip bar is against the law, then you'd better be prepared to find this strict seductress at your door with her handcuffs ready to pin you down and make you go to town. You’d better beware of...Sergeant Sexaholic!"

Ponies cheer as a pegasus with a vibrant green coat and a lemon-yellow mane tied up in a bun walks up to the stage. Her outfit isn't as flashy as the first mare's; this one wears blue lingerie with a police officer's uniform over it. Black latex boots on her hooves like a dominatrix, a thick baton on her hip, and a stout blue cap on her head give her almost a scary but sexy appearance.

She marches over to the first pole with a formal law enforcer's strut but suddenly throws away her facade by flying up the pole and clamping both hind legs around the massive shaft. She twirls around in free-fall, spinning in dizzying circles until her muzzle is barely an inch away from the floor. Latching the pole with her forehooves, she twists back around until she lands on the platform performing the splits; her ass jiggles as she lands with a loud thud. Everypony cheers and calls out her name over and over, begging to see some flesh.

Cadence's eyes are glued on Sergent Sexaholic's butt as it bounces a few times like jello until finally settling on the floor. Almost unconsciously, the princess's forehoof moves on its own, slithering down her body and getting closer to her moist area. Unfortunately, somepony else beats it to its objective. Shocked, she looks back to see Sizzle pressing up against her. Although they're wearing tight uniforms, it's almost as if Cadence can feel their fur and skin touching each other. A strange, unfamiliar surge runs through the princess's body, paralyzing her and preventing her from moving away from her friend.

"First time witnessing a sexual experience, huh?" the sly pegasus asks. Her hoof runs along Cadence's body and down to her warm nether region. "Everypony feels the same way for the first time. If you'd like, I can help relieve that for you." Her hoof makes contact with the princess’s shielded genitals, eliciting a stifled moan from her muzzle. "Wow, you're really sensitive down there..." She moves her hoof and stares in surprise at the collection of moisture on the sole of her hoof. "...and wet, too. You sure you don't want me to take care of that for you?"

'Is she really asking me if I want to be treated by...another mare'? Cadence wonders.

The princess blushes and tries to avoid looking at Sizzle's seductive gaze, but no matter how much she tries to oppose her advances, she can't help but feel like she wants this. However...

"I always thought my first experience...would be with the one I love," Cadence reveals.

"We're both girls here, so technically, we're not taking each other's virginity, right?"

Celestia had given the young alicorn her lessons in sex education before; that a stallion and mare make up a normal couple and only through the insertion of a male's penis into the female's vagina can both members lose their virginity and become one. But what of those of the same sex? Females can't break each other's hymens through whatever they do, right?

"Are you sure?" She wants to so bad but isn't sure about losing her virginity to somepony else, especially to a mare.

"Of course. And besides, we should have mentioned this before: if a staff member is sexually tense, it is the obligation of another staff member or more to relieve her, but only if she requests it. So, do you?" She leans closer until her muzzle is just an inch from Cadence's hot cheek. Her warm breath sweeps across her face, alluring her to partake in the provocative act.

"Maybe after the show. I wanna see more of the other...strippers." Just saying the word "stripper" feels strange on her tongue.

Sweet Sizzle shrugs and continues watching the show with the other waitresses.

Slam Bam announces the final stripper to come on stage. "This mare is crazy when it comes to bull wrestling, and cock wrangling. This cowpony knows no bounds when it comes to fertilizing the fields and leaving her animals happy and satisfied. Put your hooves together for Buckshot Hardcock!"

The third mare is an earth pony with a blazing, crimson coat that looks as hot as lava. Her mane however is a cool ocean blue, but it's covered up by a pink Stetson hat. Her body is covered by a short, white crop top and faded blue jean skirt that barely covers her butt, along with brown country-style boots on her hind legs while immaculate, white lingerie hide comfortably underneath her clothes.

Instead of strutting over to the pole like the other mares, this one runs over to hers and leaps into the air. She extends a forehoof and gracefully latches onto the metal shaft, twirling around in circles until delicately landing on her hind legs. In addition, she licks the pole like a throbbing organ, coating a small area in her slaver. The ponies hoot for this mare and cheer with excitement as she proceeds to grind her crotch on the steel rod.

"And now, let's get this show on the road!" Slam shouts.

The mares slowly strip off their clothes, one piece at a time, slowly raising the libido of their viewers. Sergent Sexaholic unties her bun and strips off her uniform while keeping her hat on to give a little more sex appeal.

Fashionista Fanatica peels off her amethyst coat to reveal her slender, angelic body. She throws away her green shades to reveal a pair of cerulean eyes that peer into the crowd and shimmer with pride and lust.

Buckshot Hardcock unbuttons her skirt and shirt and exposes her burning coat and snowy white lingerie to her spectacular viewers. Each mare performs admirably on stage; twirling, climbing, twerking, grinding, and licking to gain the satisfaction of the customers.

"Whaddaya think, Candy Ass?" Slam Bam walks over to the princess who's currently gazing at the dancers with awe and inspiration. "Quite a show, huh?"

"Y-yeah." Cadence can barely respond as the strippers captivate her in a lustful trance.

Their fluent, majestic movements tingle her insides and her lower body. It's not normal for members of the same sex to be sexually attracted, but she can't help but feel like she wants to feel one of them pleasuring her, running their hooves down her body and massaging her pure lotus.

"So, Cadence," Sweet Sizzle whispers, "you wanna relieve some stress now?" She glances down at the princess's crotch, which is already starting to overflow with fluid. So much so, that it's beginning to dribble down her legs and form small puddles on the floor.

"I suggest you take it." Cadence looks over at Slam Bam, who's currently wiping some beer mugs clean. "I don't want any of you pretty ladies to hurt yourselves over some random puddles."

Cadence looks down at her hooves and blushes from the embarrassing scene. "Okay."

Sweet Sizzle smiles and motions with a jerk of her head for the princess to follow her. They walk along the outer edge on the left side of the establishment to get back to the waitress changing room. With each step, Cadence can feel her nether region heating up and small drops of bodily fluid flowing down her legs. The thought of what’s about to happen only burns her even more and slightly cracks open the floodgates by a bit. Sizzle opens the door and generously gestures for her to enter. She does, and the pegasus closes the door behind them to get some privacy from the outside.

Cadence looks around the room with anxiety. It looks like the same friendly, bright dressing room, but it feels like she's just stepped into a sex dungeon, ready to be touched and violated. Nevertheless, Sizzle places a gentle hoof on her shoulder for reassurance.

"Now, I know it's a new experience for you, sweetheart, but just trust me and let me do all the work."

Without warning, the pegasus kisses Cadence on the lips. She is completely caught off guard, but the sweet feeling of her lips in contact with her friend's is too irresistible to pull away from. Like powerful magnets, the two mares grind and connect, not wanting to let go of each other’s embrace. The princess manages to take the initiative and pushes herself into the caressing hold, forcing each other to go deeper and become one. They break apart, gasping for air and smiling from the sensual experience.

"Told ya it would help."

"I guess it does. But..." Cadence holds Sizzle tightly as she lowers her to the smooth carpeted floor. Her imposing size overpowers the pegasus easily, allowing her to take on the dominant role. "I'm still wet down there. Think you can help clean that up for me?" 'Sweet Celestia, what am I doing!? I'm about to have sex with another mare! It's not normal and it's so wrong, but...I want to experience it!'

Without waiting for a response, sexual instinct takes control of Cadence’s mind, heart, and soul as she pulls their uniforms off with her magic; keeping the stockings, cuffs, and bunny ears on for maximum sexual arousal. She dives in for another kiss, this time with more vigor and enthusiasm. Her tongue starts to move around with a mind of its own, searching for a playmate to become intimate with. Sizzle's tongue soon comes to life to join hers and both share a passionate moment of twisting and entangling, sliding and lathering, all while exchanging flavors and luscious tastes. Mixtures of berries, citrus, and mint are exchanged between the ponies as they fervently make out on the carpet.

Sizzle's takes advantage of Cadence's intoxication and throws the princess onto her back. The raunchy pegasus crawls towards her like a predator sneaking up on its helpless prey. Her eyes slither down from the princess's aroused expression to the steaming pink cavern between her split legs. Clear fluid perspires from the winking orifice, parting over her plot and spilling all over the carpet, seeping into the fibers, and releasing a musky scent that floods the room. As she gets closer, Sizzle can feel the warmth radiating from the organ, enveloping her in an aromatic wave of heat.

She climbs over to one hind leg and kisses the inside of her partner’s thigh, sending a warm shock up the princess's body—a bit of a simple appetizer before diving into the main course. She licks the muscle, tasting the salty sweat upon her fur and sniffing her musky scent. Moving further down, Sizzle pecks the descending muscles, arousing small, shallow breaths from her partner. Cadence’s breathing becomes more haggard and reverberating as the pegasus moves closer to the seeping cove. Before her lips can make contact with the winking snatch, she stops and moves her face away from the warm entrance. Cadence looks down, wondering why Sizzle had stopped with the procession, only to be met with a surge of stimulation from her labia.

Gently but forcefully, Sizzle rubs the soft labia with the sole of her hoof. She pokes between her inner lips, before sandwiching her hoof between the folds of her outer labia, feeling the moist organ cover her appendage and lubricate it, allowing it to slide around with ease. Cadence gasps as her body shivers with exhilaration. All feelings of sexual repression start to melt away with each swirling motion of the pegasus's hoof. But now, she doesn't want to continue just for the need of purging her pressure; she wants to fully immerse herself in sexual deviation and truly experience lovemaking with another mare.

Sizzle raises her hoof up to her lips and laps up the fluids she's managed to collect. She climbs on top of the exasperated princess and presents her platter for her to have a taste. Cadence doesn't hesitate to lap up whatever remaining fluids are left on the appendage. All of a sudden, she begins suckling on the hoof, rolling her tongue around the entire exterior wall. Sizzle is slightly taken aback, but also intrigued by the princess's sudden drive for coitus.

She pulls her hoof back and re-levels with the dripping snatch, savoring its soft, flower-like appearance and puffy petals. Stabilizing herself by holding onto Cadence's hind legs, Sizzle leans forward and begins to lap away at the pure lotus, collecting more of its sweet nectar. She deviates off to the side, tickling the outer perimeter with a few flicks of her tongue before returning to the center stigma. Long, slow licks from the perineum to the clitoral hood resonate small tremors in Cadence, causing her to tense up her hooves and grasp at the carpet beneath her to control the surge flowing through her.

As the pegasus continues slurping up the liquid dripping forth from the faucet, she notices a small red button protruding from the hood on her vulva and grins maliciously. She nibbles on the exposed bulb with her incisors, but not too hard as it’s a rather soft and sensitive organ.

“Aah! Celestia of the fucking Sun!” Cadence screams in euphoria.

She immediately covers her muzzle, surprised at the words her mind had thrown out into the open. She had used her own aunt’s name in vain—a minor sin in Equestria—and she said it out loud, and it felt amazing! She doesn’t care if her majesty barged through the room out of nowhere and caught her screaming her name mixed with profanities, it’s the exhilarating excitement coursing through her mind at the moment that she’s focused on.

Lifting her head from her meal, Sizzle grins at the proud princess. “Woah, somepony has quite a potty mouth.”

Cadence looks down at the pegasus and smiles while in the midst of her gleeful euphoria. “I know! I feel so free! Please, don’t stop!”

“Hehe, as you wish, your highness.”

Being called any royal title in a moment like this is pure blasphemy and heresy to the name of Celestia, but Cadence doesn’t care, because she’s free to do whatever she wants now without reprimand or repercussions.

Simmer climbs on top of the thirsting princess until her entire form covers her and their pussies are directly parallel to each other. She lightly drops her lower body down onto her partner's snatch, breaking out a small moan from the princess's muzzle. Smiling, she begins to move back and forth, rubbing her groin along Cadence's folds. The soft petals rub against each other like compassionate lovers; intertwining and folding over each other while lubricating themselves in their own tasteful secretions.

Both mares sing in elation as their minds become numb with rapture. Their moans of ecstasy become songs of joy and pleasure as their bodies conduct the tune of sin in the land of lustful gluttony. This feeling should last eons, an eternity even. It doesn't matter if it's immoral or against the norm; if one has a desire to achieve happiness and delight, what is stopping them?

As much as they want to continue this pursuit of reaching new heights of pleasure, Cadence feels something welling up inside her that seems to be storing up for one final explosion at the right moment. Her breathing speeds up and her heart begins to pump more excited blood through her veins to compensate for the rush of energy coursing through her.

"You're about to cum aren't you?"

Cadence struggles to look up at Simmer, who smiles with bliss.

"Come on then, princess, cum for me. Release all of your frustration and tension into this one orgasm."

As if her body was directly listening to the pegasus's command, Cadence's groin begins to spasm and convulse with a strange feeling of euphoria. It feels as if a rush of adrenaline is rushing through her veins to her brain, numbing all of her senses in every part of her body except for her vagina, which begins to tremble like an earthquake. She opens her muzzle to scream, but nothing escapes.

As quickly as it came, the surge suddenly disappears, leaving her body broken and exhausted with little tingles of bliss still coursing through her groin. Her vision is slightly blurry and she can barely see anything in front of her. Although, she can see a brown figure above her, blocking out the overhead lights. It comes closer, connecting its lips with hers and making her realize the figure is, in fact, Sweet Simmer.

"So, how did you like your first lesbian experience?"

It is a joy she’s never felt in the castle or from being with Twilight. It’s a sort of joy one would feel when the shackles of restrictions and boundaries have been bashed to pieces and one has finally been pardoned from their imprisonment. It’s the first time in forever that Cadence had been set free.

The princess manages to calm down enough to talk. “It felt amazing! Being in the castle all the time restricts me from actually enjoying life. All the nonsensical royal duties, accompanying my aunt to meetings, acting refined and perfect for my subjects, it’s all so annoying. But here...” She hugs her friend and rolls over until both ponies are on their sides. “...I can be free. I can be who I want to be without any restrictions.”

Sweet Sizzle kisses the tip of Cadence’s snout and smiles warmly. Her lust and libido have gone down, bringing out her gentle side. “Ya know, that’s what everypony that comes here looks for: freedom. The customers escape the confinements of work and responsibility just to have some fun watching sexy ponies perform and serve them. We escape the social norms and demands of our authorities to feel something new, something most others would consider immoral. You’re no different than the rest of us, Cadence.”

The two ponies smile at each other and move closer for another kiss, but the sound of the door opening prevents them from enjoying themselves any further. The other waitresses file into the room but stop in the middle of the doorway to stare at the two sweaty ponies cuddling each other.

“Aw, you should have told us you were having trouble. We all could have pitched in and helped.” Moise Muse complains.

“Anyvay girls, our shift ist over und it’s time to head out.” Hot Topic states.

She looks over at Cadence and smiles as they slowly get back up; the princess is still dazed from the orgasmic rush coursing through her body.

“Cadence, gut gemacht* today with the serving. Ze vay you treated zee guests und played around viz zem a bit really shows you’ve got vat it takes to vork here. I really hope you stay for a long time.”

“Yeah, and next time you feel a little tense, let me be your next choice, please?” Moist Muse says with a pleading grin.

The group laughs out loud with the runway music playing in the background. This day couldn’t possibly get any better for the newbie.

A knock at the door catches everypony by surprise. Hot Topic walks over and opens it to see Slam Bam standing in the doorway with a proud grin on his face.

“Congratulations girls, you all got a heftia pay this time.” He levitates five full pouches of bits over to each mare, their eyes widen as they feel the weight. “You can all thank Cadence fah it. Apparently, the customers were pretdee astounded to see an alicorn working in this place and they gave auut extra tips fah the business. So now, everypony gets a heftia pay.”

Cadence blushes in adoration. She’s the main attraction at a strip bar; the only alicorn princess to ever work in a naughty business, and she loves it.

Shame and Irony

Cleaned up, dye and paint washed off, and uniform and bits tucked away, Cadence says her temporary farewells to her new friends as they part ways until tomorrow morning for another six-hour shift. The princess can’t help but gleefully pull out her substantial bag of bits and feel her pride swelling up in her heart at the thought of her feat.

"A bursting bag of bits from only a few hours of work. I've got the whole rest of the day to myself, so what better way to spend it, than to..." A loud grumble cuts her off in the middle of her thought. She places a hoof on her stomach to feel it growling in hunger. "...get some food. I think I should head back to the castle to grab a bite."

Immediately, Cadence reignites the teleportation spell and disappears from the streets of Canterlot, reappearing in her bedroom in the blink of an eye. Everything is just as she had left it: bedsheets are strewed around and unmade, the food tray is still here for some reason, and some bits of pancake litter the floor. She would have expected one of the maids or at least her aunt to clean some of this up for her while she was out, but whatever.

She places her bag of bits safely in her nightstand and hides her bunny suit in the closet behind her fancy, poofy dresses where nopony could find it...hopefully. She levitates the sticky pancake bits from the floor and sheets onto the golden tray and picks them up to fix her bed.

Spic and span, just how she likes it.

She carries her trash-filled tray in a field of magic as she trots through the halls of the castle to the kitchen. It’s rather quiet for some reason. If she listens closely, she can hear only her hoofsteps and nopony else’s.

‘Strange. Normally this hall should have guards lining each doorway, spears at the ready. How come nopony’s guarding this hallway?’

Her questions are somewhat answered as, on her way to the kitchen, a familiar voice could be heard coming from a nearby room. The further she walks down the hall, the closer she is to realize the sounds are coming from her aunt's chambers. The door is slightly cracked ajar, allowing light and sound to easily slip out into the open.

“Mmm, yes, right there! Fuck, you’re amazing, General!”

Cadence stops in her tracks, nearly gasping aloud at what she has just heard. It’s almost understandable for Cadence to swear, but for Celestia, the immaculate goddess of the land, to swear out loud is almost heresy.

However, her tone and the way she used the word “fuck” are similar in nature to the way Cadence had used it at work.

'No way. Is she really—?'

To answer her own question, Cadence peeks through the crack to witness a shocking, yet appealing scene that almost makes her drop the tray and its contents.

Celestia lays on her bed with three Royal Guard stallions—two earth ponies and one unicorn—partaking in a steamy gangbang. One of them thrusts his thick shaft into her muzzle, gagging her, allowing only small fractions of air to enter and warm, breathy moans to leave. His balls drag across her face with every thrust as slimy saliva coats the rod, allowing easy passage through her throat. The blub of his penis forms a small bulge in her esophagus, not entirely choking her, but instead allowing her to show off her skills. Another stallion stands over her, penetrating her dripping snatch, while the last stallion lays beneath her, forcefully making his way through her tight plot. With each thrust, they service her by raising their princess to new heights of euphoria and pleasure.

Cadence's body feels hot again from this pornographic scene. Her loins tingle and become damp with her own secretions. A small drip from behind her drags her attention from the show to the floor beneath her. Vaginal fluid trickles down her hind legs and forms a slick pool at her hooves.

She shakes her head, trying to drag herself back into the real world and out of the erotic scene. ‘I think I’ve had my fill of sexual experiences for one day. I should probably tell her I’m back.’

She quietly moves a few doors back and clears her throat before calling out to the princess.

“...Aunty, I’m home! Are you here?”

She waits for a response, but Celestia doesn’t answer back, at least not to her.

“Oh, shit!” The princess can be heard struggling and rustling in her room, trying to fix herself up before her niece barges in. “Everypony shut up and stay hidden. Do not make a fucking sound.”

Hearing her aunt speak in a derogatory tone is strange, considering everypony reveres her as a righteous figure.

Suddenly, her tone becomes cheery and innocent once everything seems to be in order. “...In here, sweetie!”

Cadence walks over to her majesty’s chamber and opens the door a bit more to see her aunt laying in bed with a silky white blanket over her majestic form. She props her head up with a hoof as she smiles innocently at her niece. The young princess looks around the room for any conspicuous signs of her lustful deeds. The sheets are clean, objects are placed neatly, and no other signs of life seem to be present.

“I’m back from work, Aunty.” She tries her best not to sound suspicious, and hopefully, she doesn’t notice the shift in her tone.

Celestia climbs out of the bed and approaches her beloved niece with a gracious smile and open wings. But even from a few feet away, Cadence can sniff out her musk and filth. The princess envelops her in a loving embrace with her angelic wings, which Cadence can’t help but feel disgusted by.

“Oh, I’m so glad you’re okay dear. How was your first day?" Celestia inquires.

"It was pretty—"

"Actually, we can talk about this over lunch! I invited a few guests to commemorate your first day in a job!"

“Uh, sure. I’m starving anyway.”

The princesses leave the bedroom and head on over to the kitchen for a lovely banquet to celebrate Cadence’s first job, although, in the young alicorn’s eyes, it’s not that big of a deal.

Meanwhile, the guards hiding behind the massive bed massage their thirsting erections in desperation. It’s a pain in the ass that they didn’t get to finish inside the princess, and even worse that they didn’t get to cum at all. They can only envision Celestia’s round, tight ass and wet, winking pussy as they stroke harder and faster, until finally ejecting thick streams of semen all over the pale yellow wall. They each grunt in unison as spurt after spurt of ejaculate create new layers of paint and a sticky mess on the floor. As the last few shots of fluid spill out of their tips, they pant for air, the cold atmosphere and the release of their aroused energy allow their throbbing shafts to recede back in their sheaths in satisfaction. The trio hoof-bump each other before they finally collapse in exhaustion.

The banquet hall is filled with food ranging from sweets for dessert to healthy foods. Everything one could desire is in this one room upon a massive marble table. Although the table is massive enough to seat at least three households, only the princesses and two selected high society ponies are the ones partaking in the meal. The guests sit on the length of one side while the princesses sit together on the other. The food is spaced apart perfectly in the middle so that both parties can view each other while they talk.

“So, young Cadence has found herself a job amongst her citizens?” Fancy Pants inquires as he takes a sip of tea. "That's a rather strange thing for royalty, considering where you live." He waves a hoof in circles, gesturing to the magnificent, rich castle.

Celestia takes a small sip of tea before retorting the noble's assumption. "It's not about the money, dear Fancy Pants. It's about what she learns while in the workplace. She can learn about dignity, integrity, and morals; things she'll need when she has her own kingdom to run."

Cadence peeks over at her aunt in the middle of sipping her tea as she compares what she had witnessed to the irony of her words. 'Like you're one to talk.'

Suddenly, the memory of her illicit act in the bar catches up to her, forming a chain of guilt around her neck. 'And I can't argue either.' To take her mind off of the mockery of this entire conversation, she dives into a freshly diced carrot, hopefully with nopony noticing her tension.

"Well, may I ask where exactly she works?" Fleur de Lis requests.

The formed bolus catches itself in Cadence’s throat, nearly choking her to death from the question. She knew it was coming, but for some reason, she still wasn’t prepared for it. All eyes shift to her in worry while a white wing rests upon her back, patting her to loosen the lodged object.

"Cadence, sweetie, are you alright?" Celestia asks.

'COUGH!' "Yeah, just went down—COUGH—the wrong pipe." She clears her throat a bit and the ball easily slides down her throat and into her belly.

She isn’t worried so much about death, but about what her acquaintances and aunt will say once they find out about where she really works.

"Sooo...what kind of business does young Cadence work for?" Fleur repeats.

"Oh, she works in a bar,” Celestia finally reveals.

The room goes dead silent. The only sounds are the clopping hooves of the Royal Guards marching through the halls, and that's only a few meters down the halls.

The nobles look at each other and back at the princesses with confusion.

“A-a bar?” Fancy Pants questions.

Celestia nods and looks to her niece with pride and adoration. “Yes, and although it isn’t really a place we are familiar with or even go near, Cadence has actually had some fun. Haven’t you sweetheart?”

The princess gives a shallow nod in concealed shame as she proceeds to take small bites of her carrots.

“Well, there’s no shame in where you work, unless it’s one of those...ugh...strip clubs,” Fancy Pants barfs.

The stallion shudders at even the mention of the phrase but Cadence feels a sense of shame, knowing the disapproval the nobles have with such a business.

“Oh, I highly doubt that,” Celestia objects. “Cadence is too modest to be working in such a disgusting environment.”

“I know, right?” Fleur adds. “The stench of musk and alcohol is absolutely atrocious. I don't know how those ponies are okay with showing off their bodies like sex objects.”

Cadence’s pink face suddenly turns a deep shade of red in embarrassment and anger, as these ponies are not only talking about the other workers but about her and her friends as well.

A nauseous feeling brews in her gut as if the small bundle of carrots she had eaten wants to regurgitate. “Uh, can we not talk about strip clubs and sex? It’s really making me lose my appetite.” She tries to maintain a kind smile, but the wave of guilt and embarrassment are crushing her.

The couple blushes in shame at their divergence in the conversation, but Fancy Pants delivers the apology. “Oh, forgive me, your highness. I did not mean to cross any boundaries.”

“It’s quite alright. Let’s just enjoy the meal, shall we?”

The table sits in silence for a while as everypony proceeds to finish their meals, grab seconds, and finish those too. Not a single word is exchanged between either party for a few minutes until Cadence breaks the silence as she sets down her fork and knife.

“Aunty, may I be excused?”

The monarch looks down at her niece with a worried look. “Why, whatever for, dear?”

“I suddenly lost my appetite from this conversation. I think I’ll go...take a quick nap.”

Without waiting for her aunt’s permission, Cadence wipes off her muzzle of food bits and trudges back to her room.

The halls are still quiet with only her hoofsteps echoing throughout the castle. The guards remain stone-still like statues with their eyes forward as the princess walks past them, not addressing her or bothering to ask her about her woes, even when it’s so visible.

Finally, she makes it back to her room and jumps face-first onto her bed with a loud pomf. A wave of guilt and shame sear her soul with unbearable pain. Hot tears stream down her face as she thinks about the words those ponies had said.

“I’m not a sex object...am I? I just...AAH!”

She slams her face into her pillow with tears staining the cover. Too many conflicting thoughts course through her mind, bringing in mostly negative views about her job choice.

If only she had somepony to cool down her burning humiliation. Somepony to talk to that could understand her troubles.

A sudden rhythmic knock at her door startles her from her thoughts. She wipes away her tears before she can permit the visitor to enter.

“Come in.”

The door slowly opens to reveal her aunt’s face peeking through the crack. She smiles at her niece but is disheartened when she doesn’t return one back.

“Cadence, are you okay?” the monarch asks.

The young princess looks away from her aunt with a flurry of emotions. She doesn’t know if she’s upset at the other ponies, ashamed of herself, or even mad that her aunt could say all of that while being a “sex object” herself.

The monarch sits on the small, pink bed and rests a warm wing over the young mare’s shoulders. Although it feels comfortable to have her feathers caressing her, no amount of comfort could possibly take away the cold feeling in her heart.

“Sweetie, if you’re upset about something, you can tell me.”

'Can I really?'

“Was this about the whole ‘sex object’ conversation? If you really feel this way about those ponies, then—“

“No, Aunty.”

Celestia raises an inquisitive eyebrow at Cadence’s stern objection. “What do you mean?”

“I mean...have you ever...had something you’re too embarrassed to tell somepony about, and you’re too worried that pony will degrade you for it?” She looks up at the princess to see her turning away with a small splotch of pink on her cheeks. 'Yeah, of course, she does.'

Celestia takes a deep breath and clears her throat before addressing this strange but too-close question.

"Well, sweetie, as the ruling monarch of this land, I obviously don't have anything to hide from anypony, other than my obsessive cake disorder. You know, eating too much cake almost every single day and hardly gaining any satisfaction?"

The way she was talking so fast is a telltale sign that she's trying her best to hide her sexual deviation. But one can not simply hide the truth from somepony who has witnessed the deed firsthand.

"Riiiiight."

Cadence looks away again in anger and shame, still unsure of how to address her aunt about their situation. Of course, she wants to keep her real job a secret, but she also wants to call out Celestia for her heresy. Both options would most likely end up in her being grounded...or worse.

"Anyway, Aunty, uh, can I just sleep for a bit. I've had a crazy first day and I'd just like to—"

"Relax, of course. If you need anything, just give me a shout or send one of the guards to fetch me. I love you Cadence."

Celestia pecks her niece on the forehead before leaving the alicorn in solitude in her room. The frustrated princess flops onto her bed, staring up at the ceiling with nothing but self-loathing in her mind. She wants to sleep, but the thought of having stress-induced nightmares prevents her from even closing her eyes. Maybe there's somepony she can confide in that's not in this castle.

She sits up as a sudden realization hits her. Of course! She does have friends outside the castle! Though, she can’t just leave with her identity exposed; ponies would be running over to see her and ask questions and all that annoying crap. A disguise would be most beneficial in this situation. She opens up her closet and pushes her poofy clothes around, trying to find something obscuring.

‘Let’s see here, what should I choose?’

Something bland and boring catches her eye in the very back corner of the sea of bright, colorful clothes. A faded pink cloak and withered hood sit idly by, collecting dust.

‘Wow. I haven’t worn this since last Nightmare Night. Heck, I don’t even remember what this was a part of. Whatever. I just hope it still fits.

She takes the dusty clothes out of the closet and proceeds to put them on. The hood barely covers the front curls of her mane and her horn stabs through the fabric, creating a second hole for her. Next is the cloak, which is obviously too tight now, but still manages to cover her wings, and Cutie Mark, which is the main objective. To hide her face, she grabs a pair of obscuring black shades from her nightstand drawer and puts them on. She looks in the mirror to check over her appearance and make sure she can’t even recognize herself.

‘Perfect!’

Cadence exits her room, trying her best to seem normal, and addresses the two guards stationed outside her doors.

“Guards, I will be heading out for a while to clear my head. Do not follow me or wonder where I am going, but make sure to tell my aunt that I will be out for a while. That is an order.”

The ponies salute in response to her command. Not a single peep, not even a grunt escapes their lips, which really unnerves the princess but she doesn’t care anymore. She’s just glad to leave the castle and meet up with some of her friends to clear her head of all unnecessary thoughts.

She opens the front door of the castle and looks around to make sure the coast is clear before she exits. Not a single soul besides the guards. She heaves a sigh of relief as she enters the front garden of the royal grounds.

The foliage is especially beautiful today in the spring sun. Beautiful purple crocuses, golden daffodils, sparkling pink rhododendron, and even some rare hibiscuses that look like they’ve been dipped in a rainbow. It’s a rather romantic scene for most of the nobles, but for Cadence, she just enjoys the view. Their perfume-like aromas erase her worries and troubles, filling her with a sense of peace and tranquility.

“Hey, you there!”

Cadence winces as she slowly turns around to see a stallion guard approaching her. Unlike the rest of the Royal Guards, his uniform is different from the others: purple with gold borders and a chest plate with a familiar pink star in the center. His plume and tail are sapphire blue with cerulean highlights while his coat is a very light gray.

“Oh no," Cadence whimpers.

The stallion stops directly in front of the disguised princess, looking her over with a stern gaze. His usual electric blue eyes seem almost ice cold with how serious he's being in front of her.

"State your business here in the royal grounds, citizen!"

Cadence smirks as a devious little plan brews in her mind. 'I'm gonna have some fun with this.' "What's the matter, sir? Is it suddenly illegal for me to be on the premises?"

The guard is taken aback by the "intruder's" disrespectful tone. "Excuse me? Do you have any idea who you're talking to? I'm the Captain of the Royal Guard, ma'am, and I suggest you show a little respect."

'And now for the reveal.'

Cadence moves her hood back a bit to reveal her pink and yellow streaked mane, and pulls her glasses down to reveal her shimmering purple eyes. She smirks and raises an eyebrow at the arrogant stallion, whose face suddenly drains of color. His eyes shrink to specks as his mouth tastes the fresh grass at his hooves.

"And do you have any idea I am, Captain Shining Armor?"

Shining's mouth twitches, but nothing escapes, other than small squeaks of shock. He suddenly bows before her highness as he apologizes profusely at her hooves.

"Forgive me, your excellence! I simply did not recognize you under that cloak! Please excuse my arrogance and don't have me executed! I have a sister to look after!"

Cadence shakes her head and releases a heavy sigh at the captain's pathetic display.

"I really should have you punished for your hubris, Captain..." Shining looks up at the princess, wondering what kind of punishment is to befall him. "...but with you being little Twilight's brother, I will let it slide for now."

With overwhelming elation, Shining Armor leaps up from his pleading position and hugs the princess with a rib-crushing grip. She can feel her organs being scrunched together into one tight bundle as her body collapses in on itself.

"Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou! I promise I won't be so cocky again, princess. Thank you for your mercy!"

She's glad to be accepting his thanks, but it's still too much love, even for somepony who has a crush on her. "S-shining! Please...let...go! Can't...b-breath!"

"Oh, forgive me!" He releases his princess from his affectionate hug and slowly backs off to give her some breathing space. "Are you okay, princess?"

Somepony is crumpled on the ground, coughing up choked spittle, and trying to gasp for air after nearly having their lungs crushed isn't too bad. Just an ice pack would patch her right up.

"Does it look like I'm okay?!" Cadence explodes.

Shining backs away in embarrassment as the princess struggles to get back up. He averts his gaze as she walks away from the guard pony without another word.

'I don't care if he's Twilight's brother. I want to bop him over the head for being so...disrespectful? Overly-affectionate? Worried about me?'

Unlike most of the Royal Guards, Shining Armor is one of the very few who takes time out of his schedule to talk to her. He asks about her day, her life in the castle, and also about her growing relationship with Twilight. She knows he has a crush on her, but almost every pony does. Although, unlike every other pony, Shining doesn't try to gain her favor with flowers, gifts, or special tasks. He just acts like the big nerd he is and pretends like every day is just a normal day, of course, while also acting clumsily in front of her. Cadence should apologize to him when she comes back.

Now a new card of guilt is on the field and it's Cadence's job to know how deal with it.

The streets of Canterlot aren’t too busy this afternoon, probably because everypony is currently in an eight-hour job at the moment like responsible adults. The only ones not currently behind a desk, in a dull office, or spending time with family are the teens and adolescents frolicking and chatting and just being young until the real world hits them in the face.

Cadence obviously didn’t plan out how she was going to find her friends, but she’s sure they’re living somewhere in the city. Her most likely guess, they're either at their homes or sitting in a cafe.

"Hallo, Candy!"

The well-known voice catches the wandering princess from her left. She whips around to see Hot Topic approaching her, wearing a similar disguise: a blue hood and cloak with pink rimmed sunglasses. The two ponies hug each other as if they haven't seen each other in months, sharing a warm, affectionate moment.

"Cadence, mein freund*, vat are you doing out here?" With other ponies around, Topic makes sure to whisper her friend's name, so as to not draw too much attention to themselves.

"I was actually on my way to see you all. I was hoping we could spend some time together, get to know each other a bit more. Also, I just really need somepony to talk to because, well, the castle doesn't have the most interactive ponies."

"Oh, Cadence, of course, ve can help. Ve are friends after all, and vat guud friend vouldn't help anozer pony out?"

Cadence beams with joy as she hugs her friend again, this time with more strength. "Thank you, Topic. So where's everypony else?"

The two release their hug as Topic quietly gestures with a hoof for her friend to follow her. The two travel through the large city past fancy businesses, uptight companies, and some tasteless fancy diners. The further they trod, the more Cadence starts to realize where they're heading. The buildings are starting to look less familiar and more colorful instead of the "elegant" plain white buildings near the inner city. The stores are also more extravagant and almost commoner-friendly. She can't imagine a royal or noble stepping into this part of Canterlot, otherwise, they'd probably have a seizure from all of the vibrant colors.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been in this part of the city,” Cadence says as her mind is entranced by the divergent appearance of the area. “What is this place?”

Topic looks back at the princess with a puzzled look. “Really? You’ve never been to ze commoner district of Canterlot before?”

“No. I never even knew Canterlot could be so...laid back. I don’t know why my aunt doesn’t take me down here.”

“Mm, probably because of your high status. I’ve never seen any fancy ponies or nobles enter zis area before.”

Cadence is finally venturing into a land that is completely out of her norm. A place princesses and nobleponies would find strange and almost otherworldly, she finds colloquial and relaxing. It feels fun just to walk through the maze of bright buildings and unique shops. Ponies run around acting jovial instead of observing upper-class ponies as their role models. Ponies here can be free and enjoy life instead of burying their faces in a pile of books or unending lectures on formality and decorum.

Up ahead, a cafe is open with the rest of Cadence's friends inside—none of which are wearing disguises like her and Hot Topic—chowing on some sandwiches and drinking what looks like some dark, fizzy drink, something Cadence has never had the fortune of tasting. The two enter the cafe and, immediately, the other ponies greet them with kind smiles and waves.

“Hey, everypony,” Cadence says as she plops down next to Moist Muse and Wet Breeze on a green and yellow-striped sofa. The springs are very loose, letting her bounce a couple of times before finally settling to rest. “How are you doing?”

Moist takes the last swig of her bubbling soda before responding to the princess. “Doing just fine. How’s life in the castle.”

“Boring as Tartarus. I wanted to get away from royal life for a bit and talk to somepony. There are a few things I want to get off my chest, actually."

The mares raise their eyebrows in curiosity.

"Well, we're here to help a fellow friend-slash-coworker," Moist Muse claims, resting a hoof on the alicorn's shoulder. "Anything you need to vent, let it out. We can help you the best we can."

Cadence looks at each of the four mares, their eyes filled with warm compassion and love for their friend. She smiles as she knows each of these ponies are like her and could never judge her for her situation. She takes a deep, calm breath before releasing all of her pent up tension.

"Well, you see..."

"Ouch. This whole situation is just filled with irony and shame, huh?" Simmer asks.

Cadence nods her head, not uttering a single word as there is nothing else for her to add. The ponies look at each other, brewing a solution or at least some advice for Cadence to deal with her predicament.

"Vy not show Princess Celestia vat you can do?"

Everyone looks at Hot Topic with bewildered looks. Their gazes don't affect her, however, and she further explains her solution.

"Obviously, your aunt, ze princess, is filled vith some sexual needs zat she uses the guards to get rid of. Perhaps...you could..."

"Are you crazy?!" Cadence explodes, grabbing the attention of the barista and some of the other patrons. She pulls herself in and lowers her voice to a gentle, but rigid whisper. "I am not going to make out with my aunt!"

"Technically..." Wet Breeze interjects, "...she's your adoptive aunt, correct? So it's not technically wrong."

Cadence can't help but feel that her friend is right, but it's still her aunt, and... "I'm also doing it with another mare. What about that factor?"

Sweet Simmer rolls her eyes at the princess's faulty reasoning. "Candy, didn't we just have sex not too long ago?"

The memory of the pegasus's graceful lovemaking is seared into the princess's mind and body. Her tongue searching her moist cavern; the wet folds making contact with each other, fueling their libido and sexual desire; the passionate kisses filled with a beautiful combination of love and lust. Everything about it was so wrong, and yet it felt so good.

"I know, but...with Celestia?"

"I zink I know a solution to your Shining Armor situation as vell," Topic states, however, Cadence can't help but give the unicorn an inquisitive glare.

"Does it have anything to do with sex?"

"Mmmaybe? But, hear me out!"

Cadence holds her tongue and listens to what the blazing unicorn has to say.

"Maybe you don't have to have sex vith him. Maybe you can just...I dunno...give him a simple lap dance. That usually cheers stallions up."

"A lap dance?" Cadence looks at the other mares for some sort of clarification or backup, but they're either eating or pretending that this conversation doesn't concern them. She turns back to Hot Topic, who's currently awaiting her answer as she munches away on a sandwich. "Is that really the only option? What about a simple 'I'm sorry'?"

"I mean, zat's simple, but you know vat zey say: 'Taten sagen mehr als Worte'." Cadence stares blankly at the pony. "Ahem, 'Actions speak louder zan vords."

Now all Cadence can think about is having sexual relations with her aunt and "apologizing" to Shining Armor with a vulgar lap dance. She looks outside to see the sun balancing on the horizon. Celestia could be looking for her soon and if she found her here, there would be dire consequences.

"Thank you, girls, especially you, Topic."

The pegasus beams with pride at her commemoration.

"I'll try and make some things work. I'll see you all at work tomorrow."

Author's Note

Mein freund= my friend

Perfect Apology

"Aunty, I'm heading out now!" Cadence calls, her voice echoing through the castle as it seeks out Celestia.

She waits patiently near the front doors of the castle for the higher monarch to send her off, but she's taking longer than usual to appear. Just the mention of Cadence leaving for the day should have Celestia teleporting over to her and clutching her in a rib-crushing hug, but not now.

Curious about her aunt's whereabouts, Cadence trots over to the monarch's chamber to find her. Once again, the guards seem to be missing from their posts near the front of Celestia's doors, which is a telltale sign of her illicit activities. The sounds of grunting and erotic moans emanate from behind the door, solidifying Cadence's suspicions.

"Of course she's spending the day fucking," Cadence grumbles.

She turns to head back to the exit but a thought runs through her mind. Looking back at the door and listening to the arousing sounds, the young alicorn's body begins to heat up once again. Lewd thoughts swim through her mind as she thinks about the fun her aunt could be having. Being plowed by three, four, or even an entire squad of guards could be an exhilarating activity.

A cool draft across her moist nethers wakes her from her thoughts. As much as she'd love to peek at the scene, duty calls. She moves back a couple of paces down the hall and tries her best to seem as ignorant as possible before calling out to her aunt.

"Aunty, I'm heading out now!" she calls once more.

She listens intently as the bed creaks and the rustling of bodies and armor emanate from Celestia's chamber. The doors swing open, revealing Princess Celestia in all of her musky, perverted glory. Her mane is slightly frazzled and her wings are unkempt. Her creamy-white coat is slightly stained with bits of what may be semen and spittle.

"Good morning, Cadence," the princess says with fake tiredness. "Leaving already?"

The pungent smell of semen stings the young alicorn's nostrils but she tries her best to seem as unaware as possible of her aunt's indecent deeds.

"Yes, Aunty. I was just going to let you know before I head out. I love you."

"Oh, I love you too, sweetheart."

Celestia lunges forward to envelop her niece in a loving hug with her wings. As much as Cadence loves a warm embrace from her aunt, the scent of salty semen and cocks plague her nostrils, nearly causing her to gag into the princess's fur. Quickly, Cadence releases herself from her caretaker's hold and teleports from the castle in the blink of an eye.

Celestia just stands there, wondering what in the world has her niece so worked up. But her thoughts are drawn back to her chamber as a guard stands outside of the doorway, watching either her or her fat ass. She smirks at the guard and trots towards him, watching nervousness creep on his face and his cock standing at attention.

"We are not finished until I have been fully satisfied," the monarch says, picking the guard up in a telekinetic field. "I wonder if your fellow guards still have enough semen in their balls to fill me to the brim."

Cadence appears in the strip bar in a flash of blue light, nearly startling Slam Bam out of his seat behind the counter.

“Holy fuck!” he cries as he steadies himself. “Cadence, a little warnin’ before ya do that?”

The princess looks away in embarrassment but his words slowly process in her mind, causing her to look back at him in confusion.

“I can’t just send you a letter telling you I’m going to pop up out of nowhere, sir,” the princess replies in a snarky tone. “Anyway, are the other girls here?”

Slam points a hoof at the door leading to the waitress changing room. “You've got your uniform witcha, right?”

Cadence pats her saddlebag and heads in to meet her friends. The second she steps in the room, Hot Topic jumps her, wrapping her hooves around the royalty’s neck, and strangling her in an affectionate hug.

“Oh, Cadence, mein freund, how have you been?” the unicorn asks.

Cadence gives a hoarse, struggled gasp as a reply, prompting the waitress to release her hold before she goes to prison for killing a princess.

“Es tut mir leid,” the unicorn anxiously says. “I can be a little...overly affectionate.”

“No problem,” Cadence hoarsely replies. “It’s great to see all of you too. How’s life?”

“Pretty decent,” Wet Breeze replies as she puts on her sleek, black uniform. “I actually have a date after this so, hooves crossed that it goes well.”

Cadence is rather surprised that a worker at a strip bar could get a colt-friend, considering what goes on at this establishment.

“How does that work?” Cadence asks. “How do you date somepony if you’re working in a place like this?”

Breeze glances at the alicorn with an anxious look and peers at herself in the mirror. “I didn’t tell him I’d been working in this joint,” she replies. “I was a little nervous that he’d reject me for acting like a slut.”

Understanding of the situation, Cadence trots over and rests a hoof on the downtrodden mare’s shoulder.

“It’s alright,” the princess says. “The only thing he could complain about is if you can’t suck a dick properly.”

Cadence covers her mouth with a wing almost instantly. She didn’t mean to spout such filthy words from her muzzle, much less towards her friend. She looks over at Breeze's face to see her anger bubbling but instead sees a smile spread across her muzzle.

“I guess that’s all he could complain about,” the unicorn chuckles. "I almost forgot about our conversation yesterday and didn't take those pointers to heart. How's that going by the way?"

Now it's Cadence's turn to look away with anxiety as she thinks about Shining Armor and Princess Celestia. "I haven't done anything about it yet," she replies. "I'm hoping I can talk to Shining Armor later today and apologize."

"Atta girl!" Sweet Sizzle says as she wraps a hoof around the princess's shoulders. "I'm sure you'll patch things up with everypony soon. For now, we have to get ready."

Cadence nods in compliance as she puts her uniform and makeup on for the day. Cute bunny ears, tight bodysuit, slicing stockings and shoes, collar and cuffs, and finally the bunny tail.

Although the princess would rather have another sloppy rimjob, time is of the essence. She levitates a pink bottle of lubricant—the smell of which is sweet like strawberries and cherries—and drizzles it all over the silicone plug of the tail. Anxiously but boldly, Cadence inserts the plug into her plot, feeling the tingling sensation of being penetrated once again. With just a little more force, the plug slips into her confines, resting comfortably in her ass, while letting a moan escape her lips.

"You really like anal, huh Cadence?" Moist Muse asks, taking a peek at her fluffy rear.

"A-anal?" the princess repeats. "I'm...not sure, actually. It just feels nice to put this thing in now."

"Oh, ve know," Hot Topic replies. "It vould be even better if it vorked like a stallion cock; moving in and out of your ass, filling you vith every inch—"

"Okay, okay!" Cadence shouts, shutting her friend up for good. "I don't want to get too aroused before heading to work." Though, as she says that, her loins begin to burn with desire already. "I just need to get my make up done, and I'll be good to go."

The girls service the princess by dying her mane and tail to match her erotic stage name. With a mane and tail made of cotton candy, and a plump, juicy ass that tastes as sweet as a treat, Candy Ass makes her return.

"Welcome back, Candy Ass," Sweet Sizzle greets with an ecstatic smile.

Cadence looks herself over and smiles in approval at her alter ego. "Thank you girls so much for helping me," she says. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Come now," Moist Muse replies modestly, "it's just some make up. I'm sure you'd be able to do it yourself, right?"

"It's not just that. Thank you for being such great friends even when I'm a princess. Most ponies would just bow and tremble before royalty, so it's great to have friends that don't treat me like a high and mighty monarch."

The rest of the girls put on passionate smiles and come together around Princess Cadence for a loving group hug, nearly toppling over into the makeup supplies. Cadence feels a joyous calm wash over her within her friends' embrace. She smiles as she accepts these new feelings and her new role.

"I think we'd better get going," Moist Muse states, pulling herself away from the hug. "We've got twenty minutes before opening, so we'd better hurry and get everything ready."

The girls nod in unison as they exit their room. Slam Bam is already wiping down tables while a few other ponies Cadence is not familiar with are sanitizing the stripper stage.

Slam looks over at the waitresses and gives them a smile and a tip of his fedora. "Looking great, ladies," he says. "Cadence, I actually wanted to talk to you for a sec."

The princess looks back at the rest of her friends and they all give affirmative nods. She swallows a nervous lump in her throat and follows Slam to his office. Uneasiness eats away at her heart as she sits down in the seat directly across from Slam Bam.

"Don't worry, you're not in trouble, Cadence," the boss says in a calming tone. "It's quite the opposite."

Cadence raises an intrigued eyebrow, curious as to where this conversation is going to go.

"Remember yesterday, when I said all those ponies were giving extra tips because of you?" Slam asks.

Cadence nods as the memory comes back to her.

"Well..." He levitates a small stack of paper that all seem to be little notes or letters. "They were so amazed that an alicorn was working here, that they wrote a few fan-letters for you." Slam slides a blue envelope towards the princess, who takes it and reads the note inside. "Go ahead and read it aloud. I kinda want to know what they have to say about you."

"The new alicorn hire is pretty odd but very arousing at the same time," Cadence reads. "I don't know where this one came from but if she's royalty, I wish Princess Celestia could join her and show off her sweet body. Don't tell her I said that." Cadence smiles and crosses her heart with a hoof in agreement with the author. "Promise, pal."

Cadence takes a green envelope, tears it open, and reads the note inside. "I hope Candy Ass gets this letter. If she's reading this, I just want to say how awesome it is to have a princess working here! Your ass is just as your name suggests: sweet and tempting. This may sound sudden but I hope she gets to be a VIP specialist soon."

"VIP specialists are uh...employees who...provide a more...personal service," Slam explains.

It takes a while for Cadence to register what he's talking about until it finally hits her. She’s only ever had sex with a mare, and that was only a day ago. Cadence’s imagination tuns wild as she wonders what it would feel like to take a stallion’s length up her pussy.

“That’s kinda what I wanted to talk to you about,” Slam Bam says. “Would you like to move up and work as a VIP specialist? It’s alright if you don’t, since it’s a rather sudden proposal.”

Cadence rereads the letter and feels pride welling up in her heart. She looks up at Slam with a grateful smile and gives her answer.

“Do you think I could try it first?” she requests. “I don’t know about having sex with a stallion, I mean, I already had sex with Sweet Sizzle, but—“

“It’s no biggie,” Slam replies nonchalantly. “I kinda didn’t expect you to go with it right away. Of course you can try it; if you don’t like the experience, you don’t have to continue.”

Cadence nods in appreciation at her boss’s approval and rises out of her seat. “Thank you, sir,” she responds. “Where exactly do I go for—“

“Door on the opposite side from this office,” Slam replies. “Also, quick FYI, if you don’t completely accept this position, you won’t be earning the bits from the patron.”

Cadence nods in understanding and exits the office, noticing everyone's expectant gazes.

"So?" Sweet Sizzle pokes. "What did he say to you?"

"Apparently, the ponies were so surprised that an alicorn is working here, Slam wanted to know if I'd like to be a VIP specialist."

The girls look at each other with shocked expressions and turn their gazes back to Cadence, who looks as if she's said something offensive.

"I'm so jealous right now!" Moist Muse says with a grin. "It's not every day a waitress gets promoted to VIP specialist. That's a huge step-up for you!"

"So, you aren't jealous?" Cadence asks. "I mean, have any of you done this?"

"Of course!" Hot Topic replies. "All of us, besides Moist, have had our fill of cocks and pussies over ze months ve've vorked here." Topic trots closer to Cadence and leans her muzzle close to the princess's ear. "I actually hold ze title for best cock sleeve in the bar."

Cadence shudders at the idea of having such a lewd title. Her loins, however, burn with lust as she can just imagine the number of stallions she can make cum. Perhaps enough to usurp Topic's throne.

"Oh, I know zat look," Topic says. Cadence snaps from her daydream to see her friend's cocky expression. "You think you can overthrow me from my title? You may try, Candy Ass. If you can please up to thirty stallions in a month, I vill deem you ze vinner."

Topic extends her forehoof and Cadence does the same. Both ponies shake on the deal, solidifying their provocative agreement.

"Let's not dillydally, girls," Wet Breeze says with authority. "Doors are opening, so get ready."

As if by the sound of Breeze's voice, the doors to the strip bar swing open, letting in a flood of ponies. As Cadence watches the patrons pour in, her eyes catch a familiar streak of sapphire blue. Looking through the sea of ponies, Cadence's eyes shrink to pinpricks as she recognizes the Captain of the Royal Guard.

"Hey, isn't that the Captain of the Royal Guard?" Moist Muse asks. "His name is Shining Armor, right?"

All eyes turn to Cadence while her face is still contorted with crippling fear and anxiety. She tries to speak but fear grabs hold of her tongue, preventing her from screaming in terror or answering Moist's question.

"Woah, Candy, what's up with you all of a sudden?" Wet Breeze inquires.

"S-Shining Armor is here," Cadence finally stammers. "Why is he of all ponies here? If he finds out I'm working here, he's going to spout that off to his parents and then little Twilight will know about this and then—"

"Woah, woah, woah!" Sweet Simmer says, trying to soothe the hyperventilating royal. "It's alright, Candy. Just take deep breaths. Maybe he won't even recognize you. No pony else has so far, so it's possible he won't either."

Cadence takes deep, hard breaths to calm her nerves but just the thought of Twilight's older brother being here in this establishment and finding out that the Princess of Love is working here is too much for her to handle.

As she looks up, Cadence notices the captain is already seated with three of his fellow guards, however, he looks like a fish out of water. He's tense and looking around as if he's entered Tartarus. Perhaps after Cadence's outburst towards him the other day, the guards in his platoon decided to take him out to this bar to relieve some stress.

The princess swallows her anxiety and builds up the courage to take the group's orders.

"Hey, boys," she says in a seductive tone. The guards turn their heads toward the slutty royal and grow aroused grins at her approach. Shining Armor on the other hand, tries his best to avert his gaze. "Can I get you strong studs something to drink to start you off?"

"Four bottles of your finest alcohol, ma'am," one of the guards requests. "This guy over here is really gonna need it." He nudges Shining Armor in the forearm in a joking gesture, but the captain still seems uncomfortable.

"Four strong drinks coming right up," Cadence replies.

As she turns to walk away, she makes sure to tease the guards with a shake of her rear, enticing them to get a good look at her. She glances back to see Shining shooting her an astonished look before looking back down at the table with an embarrassed blush.

"So, did he recognize you?" Sweet Sizzle asks as she follows Cadence back to the kitchen.

"I don't think so," the princess replies. "Either the makeup really works or he can't see my face properly in the dim lights. Either way, thank Celestia he hasn't said anything yet."

Cadence enters the kitchen and barks out the table's order to the chefs. They scurry around, filling up bottles with booze and handing them over to the princess on a silver platter.

As she approaches the table with the Royal Guards, she notices that Shining Armor is starting to strike up a conversation with them. She smiles a bit as the anxious captain starts to come out of his shell, just like her.

"Here you go, fellas," the princess says as she places the drinks in front of their respective ponies. "Can I start you off with some appetizers or perhaps we can skip straight to the main course?"

"I'll start off with the veggie kebabs," one guard says as he looks over his menu.

"Me and Thunderstruck will share the cauliflower pizza," another guard requests while nudging his comrade.

Cadence writes down their orders and looks up at Shining, who tries his best to cover his embarrassed face. "And for you, sir?" she asks.

Shining puts down the menu and looks up at Cadence with the most innocent expression she's ever seen, making him almost look like a young colt.

"I-I'll take the eggplant lasagna," he responds.

"Excellent choice, sir," Cadence replies as she takes the order and menus from the customers and trots back to the kitchen.

She tears off the sheet of paper with the written orders and hands it to the head chef for him and his team to prepare. While she waits for the order to be completed, she looks over at the table to see one of the guards heading her way. Her heart begins to beat out of her chest, wondering what he could possibly want with her.

"Excuse me, miss?" he asks.

Cadence faces him with a modest, respective form before answering him in a lewd tone. "Yes, mister?"

The princess notices a shiver of joy run up his spine from just the sound of her voice. "Are you a VIP specialist?" he asks.

"Sort of. I'm giving it a shot before I fully commit. Do you require my services?" The princess places a hoof on the soldier's chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat and the collection of sweat on his chest fluff. "You seem pretty tense. I bet being a member of the Royal Guard is pretty exhausting. Do you need some help relieving that stress?"

The stallion's gleeful smile fades as he clears his throat and glances away. "N-no, not me," he replies with disappointment. "It's for him over there."

Cadence follows the soldier's gaze and her face drains of color as her eyes land on Shining Armor randomly glancing over at his friend and the princess.

"Captain Shining Armor of the Royal Guard?" she asks in shock.

"Yup. We heard he was having some mare problems so we decided to take him out for a night on the town. We decided he needs to mingle with a few mares and get used to being around them. So far, it's not working. That's why we need you to—"

"Pop his cherry?" Cadence finishes on instinct.

The guard nods at the term. "Right. If you're not ready to go, that's alright. However, he has been eyeing you pretty intently for some time. I think he really wants to get with you."

Having sex with Twilight's older brother for the first time, Cadence would never even conceive the notion. However, the memory of reprimanding him out in the open resurfaces in her mind. Hot Topic's suggestion for apologizing to the stallion pops up in the princess's mind, tossing away most of her anxiety and discomfort.

'I could give him a lap dance as an apology,' Cadence thinks to herself. 'But would that really be enough for him?"

Cadence glances at Shining Armor once more, no thoughts of Twilight or innocence plague her mind, allowing her to make a clear decision. "I'll do it," she says. "Tell him to meet me in the room on the right."

The guard nods and trots back over to his table to give his captain the news. In the mean time, Cadence takes a deep breath and exhales a stressed sigh.

"Sooo..." Moist Muse says as she pulls up the princess, "...you're about to get your first customer as a VIP specialist, huh?"

Cadence looks over at her friend's proud face and manages to bring up a reassuring smile. "I guess. Do you have any tips for what I should do?"

"All I can say is to follow your instincts. You'll be able to get him off if you let your body do the work instead of your brain. But before you get to work on him, I need to get to work on you."

Cadence isn't sure what her friend means by that until Moist grabs her hoof and leads her to the waitress' room. Moist grabs a rack of smutty uniforms from seemingly out of nowhere and puts them on display for the princess.

"Get out of that uniform and pick a new one that will entice your partner," the earth pony says.

Cadence looks upon the selection of lewd outfits, trying to figure out which would appeal more to Shining Armor but also blend in with her own character. Unfortunately, the assortment of lingerie and outfits seem too cliché and bland.

"Shining Armor is a more submissive type," Cadence ponders aloud, "so dressing up as something even more submissive would probably bring out his dominant side." She levitates a fake Royal Guard uniform from the rack and analyzes it with approval. "What better way to do that, than by dressing up as one of his loyal soldiers?"

"Excellent choice, Candy!" Moist says with adoration. "You've got a great intuition, huh?"

Cadence chuckles pridefully at Moist's compliment and proceeds to wear the uniform. The Corinthian helmet rests snugly over her head and face, providing her with enough visibility. The plume automatically adjusts to match Cadence's altered mane colors. The body armor and breastplate rest upon her bodywhile the straps along her belly are tightened just enough to not squeeze her, but also enough for the armor to stay on her. Gold boots cover her hooves, completing her look.

Besides the fact that the outfit imitates the actual Royal Guard's uniform to a T, it doesn't share the overbearing weight it normally does. It feels as if Cadence's body is dressed in bits of light plastic.

"Go get 'em commander!" Moist says with a satirical salute.

Cadence chuckles and exits the changing room through the back. The path leads backstage where the strippers usually get ready for their performances. However, no one else is here as the music blares and cheers erupt in the main area. Cadence anxiously makes her way over to a curtain with a sign marked "VIP" and stands before it.

Her heart beats wildly, pumping her with adrenaline and excitement. However, she takes a deep, calming breath to relax her body.

"You can do this, Cadence," she mumbles to herself. "Just use your instincts. He won't recognize you. He won't recognize you!"

With her courage solidified and her mind cleared of all uncertain thoughts, Cadence passes through the curtain. The room is dim with only slowly fading red and blue lights illuminating the area. An erotic instrumental plays through a set of speakers, along with the scents of jasmine and rose to provide an arousing atmosphere.

Shining armor sits on a long, black, leather couch, waiting for Cadence's service. He looks around aimlessly while rubbing his hindlegs together as if hiding a rising boner. He looks over at the parted curtain and, through the dim lighting, blushes a deep shade of red on his pale cheeks.

"Hello, Captain," Cadence greets in the most alluring voice she can muster. "Do I have your permission to enter?"

Shining looks at the guard-dressed princess with confusion, unsure of what's going on. "W-what do you mean? Of course you do. I mean, unless..."

Cadence grins deviously and approaches the frozen stallion, making sure each step shows her earnestness to her role. She stands at attention, saluting the captain with utmost respect.

"Specialist Candy Ass, reporting for duty, Captain!" Cadence says with respect and pride. She smirks as she watches Shining's face morph from confused to curious. "How shall I serve you, Captain Shining Armor?"

The princess climbs onto the soft couch and crawls towards the anxious stallion. He doesn't back away, thankfully, allowing Cadence to get nice and close to him. She places a hoof on his chest, feeling his racing heartbeat and rapid breathing building up with excitement.

"S-service me—I mean, serve me?" the stallion stutters.

His eyes fall from the seductive little guard, down to his crotch, which he immediately covers up with his forehooves in shame. Cadence follows his gaze and grins maliciously as an idea brews in her mind.

"Oh, I think I know a way to help you, Captain. Just relax, open your legs, and let me service you to your heart's content."

Realizing he has no choice, Shining Armor opens his thighs to reveal his slowly growing stallionhood. Cadence marvels at the impressive tool, especially since this is her first time ever laying eyes on such a specimen. Its length is rather impressive, nearly the length of Cadence's forearm. As she gives it a small touch with her hoof, the organ throbs with life. Thick, pulsating veins course through the length of the shaft, providing it with enough blood and heat to keep it hard and erect.

The scent is mesmerizing. Although it's just the stench of musk, it is almost aphrodisiacal to Cadence, tempting her to indulge on the meal before her. And indulge she does.

Opening her muzzle, she latches onto the bulb of the penis head, slowly engulfing the length down her throat, down to the cock's medial ring. She can feel the length twitching in her throat as it rests in its warm confines. Her tongue circles around it, slathering it in warm, wet saliva, begging it for its precious essence.

Shining releases a childish moan of pleasure as his cock is devoured by a mare for the very first time. Cadence looks up at the captain and smiles with his dick still deep within her throat. His sounds of approval only motivate her to keep bobbing and please her customer until his spunk coats her elegant, pink fur.

The taste is salty and musky from the small drops of precum. Its texture is girthy, leathery, and hard, however also quite malleable. As she swirls her tongue around, Cadence can feel the small bumps of the veins coursing through Shining's dick, causing him to twitch in pleasure every time she runs over one.

Reaching her limit, and desperate for air, Cadence pulls back, letting the slobbered shaft loose from her maw with a loud *pop*, and allowing it to flop onto Shining's belly. The princess gasps for fresh air, trying her best not to choke on her own spittle. Swallowing it, she savors the salty, musky taste of Shining's meat.

"That was...amazing!" Shining says in awe.

Cadence smiles gratefully as she wipes away the dribble on her face. "Oh, we're just getting started, sir," she responds. "You won't be fully satisfied until you cum, right?" She places both forehooves on the stallion's shoulders and raises herself up until her dripping snatch is positioned directly over his throbbing dick. "Better prepare yourself, sir."

"W-wait!" Shining exclaims, taking Cadence by surprise. "I'd always thought my first time would be with my future wife?"

Cadence raises an eyebrow at the captain's statement but continues to smile at him. "Oh? And who would that be?" she wonders.

Shining looks away as if the answer he plans to spout out is an embarrassing one, but Cadence knows that he's always wanted to date her.

"P-Princess Cadence," the stallion finally spouts. "I really love her and...I don't think I can go through with this."

Cadence is touched by Shining's loyalty and adoration for her, but she still needs to apologize. She can't say it aloud, so there's only one way she can express it.

"Well, wouldn't it be best if you got a little experience before you please your future wife, sir?" the princess asks as she lowers herself down onto the head of Shining's still-hard erection. She releases a sharp breath of air as the two virgin organs kiss each other, having yet to become one. "If you want to properly breed her and start a family of your own, sir, may I suggest a little hooves on experience?"

Cadence doesn't dare slide down on the pole of meat until her stallion gives her the signal. Shining looks down at his dick and back up at the princess with anxiety, but takes a deep, calm breath as he hesitantly nods.

Slowly, the princess lowers herself down, engulfing Shining Armor's throbbing sex into her own. The two become one as the young virgins become mature mare and stallion.

'I've finally done it!' Cadence thinks with glee. 'I'm actually having sex with Twilight's big brother, the Captain of Princess Celestia's Royal Guard, Captain Shining Armor!'

The thought alone causes the mare to tremble in bliss and clench her pussy around the thirsting cock inside her.

Pain courses through Cadence's core as Shining's member slides into her but is soon drowned out by feelings of pleasure and bliss. She looks down at Shining Armor and he at her. The two come together, connecting lips and savoring each other's passion. Instead of feeling lustful for the captain, as she should, Cadence feels adoration for him and maybe a spark of love. She doesn't know if it's because he's Twilight's brother or the fact that he's such a compassionate soul, but she wants his first time to be a tender experience, not a sinful one.

She rides her stallion slowly, taking in the new sensations of sex as the captain's cock enjoys itself in its new home. Warmth, passion, pleasure mixed with pain, and a bit of lust on Cadence's end drive her to please her customer and take both of them to new planes of delight.

The princess increases her vigor, slamming her rump on Shining's crotch as she tries to bring him to an erupting climax. Like a battering ram, his cock head bashes against Cadence's sensitive cervix, sending waves of euphoria through her body. Her mind begins to fog up and drive out all other thoughts besides the overwhelming sensations erupting within her core. She tightens her hold on Shining's cock, hoping to squeeze out some pent up cum from his tip.

Unexpectedly, Shining Armor wraps his hooves around Cadence and tosses her over onto her back on the couch. Looking down, Cadence can see his member still thirsting for more of her. Desiring to feel him once again, Cadence ignites her horn and spreads her pussy lips apart, letting the captain get a good look at his meal.

"Sir, please fuck this naughty soldier's dripping cunt and cover me with your hot, sticky foal batter."

Invigorated by her words of lust, Shining rams his cock deep into Cadence's thirsting snatch, bashing against her cervix once again. Cadence can only squeal and moan in ecstasy as Shining Armor fucks her senseless while he is fueled by lust and instinct. With every thrust from the wild stallion, the mare tries her best to clamp her pussy on the throbbing cock, but her mind has lost focus and can barely keep up with Shining's sporadic rhythm.

It's almost as if Shining Armor has become a natural at sex in this short span of time. His techniques are starting to improve and his speed is starting to normalize to form a harmonious rhythm that Cadence can focus on. To her surprise, Shining Armor ignites his horn in a magenta aura. Confusion clouds her mind until it's suddenly thrown away by euphoria as something shocks her clit. The bundle of sensitive nerves in the sweet spot send signals of searing satisfaction through Cadence's body.

It's too soon but Cadence can feel it; Shining Armor's cock begins to flare at the tip, his hot spunk ready for release. As much as she wants her womb to be filled by Twilight's brother's cum, she can't risk getting pregnant.

"S-sir! Please, pull...out!" the princess barks as her mind is clouded in rapture.

Shining regains focus and looks down at the alicorn with fear and extracts his cock from its moist, warm confines. It twitches and throbs violently, wanting to dive back into the princess's succulent pussy and paint her insides white. As a substitute, Cadence ignites her horn once again and wraps the tense tool in a blue sleeve of magic. The sleeve moves back and forth like a piston, jerking the stallion to climax until finally, he releases his tension.

Spurt by spurt, hot globs of stallion spunk coat the pink alicorn's face, body, and wings. The stench is overwhelming and floods Cadence's mind with more lustful imagination but soon fade away as something makes contact with her lips.

Looking back down, the royal sees Shining's receding cock stuck in her muzzle. As she looks up at the stallion, she takes notice of his cocky, dominant expression.

"Come now, Specialist Candy Ass," he says in an arrogant tone, "you still have clean-up duty. Now get to licking."

Cadence, happy with the captain's one-eighty, complies and suckles on the cock's tip, draining it of dribbling spunk. It's salty, thick, and rich, most likely from years of being a virgin nerd. Despite being a stout, responsible captain that mares would swoon over, Shining Armor can be quite the geek when left alone.

"How was my performance, sir?" Cadence asks as she splays her cum-stained figure for Shining to gaze upon. "Would you say promotion-worthy?"

"Promoted to be my personal cock sleeve," Shining says with a devious smile. However, his grin fades as he registers what he just said. "S-sorry! That just sort of came out. I didn't mean to call you a cock sleeve, it just..."

'And the virgin nerd returns,' Cadence mocks in her head. "Well, if we're quite finished here, I'd like to wash this off as soon as possible." Cadence rolls off of the couch and back onto her hooves. She flaps her wings, sending white specks flying around the room.

"Oh, I just wanted to say thanks, Candy," Shining responds with a bright attitude.

The princess looks over at him with a dumbfounded expression. "What do you mean? For taking your virginity?"

"N-no, not exactly that." The nerdy stallion averts his gaze and crosses his foreleg over the other in an anxious gesture. "I just...thank you for helping me with gaining new experience, I guess. It sounds stupid but...if I ever marry Princess Cadence, I want her to feel special when we...do it."

Cadence turns away from the stallion to hide a compassionate smile. "Well, I'm sure she'd be a lucky mare to have someone as vigorous and as virile as you, Captain. Now if you'll excuse me..."

The cum-stained princess trots back over to the curtain leading to the backstage area, leaving Shining to take care of himself. The strippers continue their work, pleasing everyone with their alluring bodies and exotic techniques, allowing Cadence easy passage back to the waitress dressing room.

As she opens the door, all of her friends whip around and stare at the mare's drenched figure. Cadence doesn't utter a word as she hops into a chair and downs a bottle of fizzy soda that was left sitting on the makeup table.

"Woah, Cadence, you alright?" Moist Muse asks.

As the princess finishes the sugary drink, she looks over at Moist and gives her a reassuring smirk. "Do I look alright?" She unfolds her wings to reveal the wet stains of stallion spunk.

"I take it you enjoyed your first time with another stallion?" Sizzle asks.

"Shining was pretty good for an amateur," Cadence replies. "He caught on quickly though, so it was pretty enjoyable."

"Does this mean you'll want to keep being a VIP specialist?" Sizzle inquires with a gleeful grin.

Cadence mulls the prospect over. "It felt pretty good to fuck a stallion..." Cadence mumbles, "...though, fucking a mare would also be invigorating. Or better yet..." Cadence shivers as a much more elaborate idea springs to mind, "...perhaps I can have a whole group of ponies to fuck every hole in my body. I guess I can keep being a VIP specialist."

Hot Topic trots over and wraps the alicorn in a friendly embrace, disregarding the scent of sperm on her coat. "Zat's ze spirit, Candy," she cheers. "Don't forget to vash yourself off before heading back to ze castle, ja?"

The princess nods in affirmation and proceeds to make her way to the bathroom in all her lustful, musky glory.
