My Little Pony: Friendship is Dirty Afterstory

“Twilight, daaaarling~” I chirped in the sweetest, most affectionate voice I could as soon as our date opened the door. I had already seen what a nervous wreck Applejack was, and given Twilight's propensity for neuroses, it was safe to say she had spent at minimum an hour trying to practice how to greet us at the door. The nearly two minutes of waiting past the initial knock confirmed for me that yes, the poor thing was a mess of trying to make sure every last detail was perfectly planned, catalogued, organized alphabetically, and filed in triplicate.

I heard the sigh of relief in the other unicorn's voice as I stepped over the threshold of the door and embraced her. I leaned forward and pulled her into a kiss, feeling my heart flutter just as it did every time.

It was strange: We had been friends for nigh on a decade, and lovers for more than a year of that. I had done more kissing, fondling, grinding, groping, and riding in the past month than many girls ever got to do in a lifetime. Somehow, though, it still lit a fire in my chest to kiss a girlfriend on the lips. Our feelings for one another had been blatant for years, and we had acted on it like rabbits in heat so often that it was routine, but this? This little kiss? It was something so much more than a casual crush or mindless lust.

This was our first real date. All of us, together, embarking on a grand experiment, completely open and honest with ourselves and one another for the first time.

Twilight returned the kiss, and I felt her calm down, the tension she had no doubt been nursing all afternoon and evening melting away in a mere second of intimacy.

Behind me, I heard a groan and a sigh before my little sister's voice piped up, “You two gonna block the door all night? Some of us have a date to get to.”

“Oh relax, Sweetie. You and I both know that if Spike had opened the door, you would be doing the exact same thing.” I smirked over my shoulder. It was astounding how much Sweetie Belle looked like a proper woman in that dress.

“You say that like I wouldn't have to fight you to be first to that party.” She placed her hands on her hips and glowered at me.

“Mmh... guilty as charged, I suppose, but it's not my fault you aren't fast enough to go after what you want~” I was prepared to dive fully into the brewing siblingspat, but Twilight's hand on my shoulder reminded me that bickering with my little sister was not the purpose of this evening.

I turned back to Twi, a sheepish smile on my face, and stepped in, allowing a huffy-looking Sweetie Belle to walk by. She stuck her tongue out at me, I stuck my tongue out at her, and the issue was dropped.

“Twilight, dear, you look simply marvelous in that dress.” I smiled, running a hand down her side, “I always told you white was your color.

“Is it really, or did you just want us to match?” Twilight plucked at the hem of my own gown, which admittedly matched her coat just as well as her dress matched mine.

“A little of column A, a little of column B, can you blame a girl for wanting to look stylish on her first date with two of the loveliest ladies in town?” I turned over my shoulder, where Applejack stood, respectfully (and nervously) waiting to be invited in.

“Applejack, you can, uh... you can come in now.” Twilight said, having noticed the farmgirl just as I had.

“Much obliged, sugarcube.” Applejack's voice was stiff, obviously stifling her nerves. She did at least manage to step in, though.

“You both look amazing...” I could see the flush on Twilight's cheeks as she got a good look at both of us in the light. Applejack's dress was scarlet, matching her lips and the hair tie she always wore, which I had replaced with a bow of the same hue for the evening, holding her hair up in a higher ponytail than usual.

Her dress was more girlish than I thought she would have been able to pull off, but she had insisted that she was most fond of this one. The cinch in the middle didn't really need to be there; with hips like AJ's, a sleeker, form-fitting dress would have been more appropriate, but she liked the way the pleats moved when she walked, and I had to admit it did a good job of highlighting her chest straining against those spaghetti straps, if nothing else.

“I could say the same to you,” Applejack's cheeks were even redder than Twilight's, and she lifted one heavily-muscled arm to rub at the nape of her neck, glancing between us.

“In my case, you already did when I first picked you up, but I think it's true enough to bear repeating anyways.” I tossed my hair over my shoulder with a playful grin to the both of them, one arm still resting on Twilight's hip.

“I, uh, y-y'look real beautiful tonight, Ra--”

“Oh calm down, Applejack!” I interrupted, releasing Twilight long enough to reach over and grab the earth pony by the hips, pulling her in close, “It's a joke, I'm being facetious. Now come along and have fun tonight: that's what this is all about, isn't it? You're both wound so tight I feel like I should be using you to tell time, not have a good time.” I released Applejack and stood between the pair of them.

“S-sorry, it's just...” Twilight began, but trailed off.

“We haven't exactly...” Applejack tried as well, but also fell short on words.

“I am well aware of what we have and haven't done. You two think I haven't had any butterflies in my stomach over this as well?” I wasn't trying to chastise them, but I did have the most experience, save for perhaps Dash, with proper 'dating', so it seemed I'd be taking point for the evening.

“I know, Spike gave me a dressing-down just before you guys got here.” Twilight gnawed on her bottom lip.

“Granny Smith gave me the same, actually.” Applejack giggled.

“I'm glad the both of you have someone to knock some sense into you when I'm not around. It's okay to be nervous, but after everything we've been through together?” I reached an arm out, wrapping around Twilight's shoulders, “After how long we've known each other?” I put my other hand around Applejack's waist, “I don't think there's a single thing that could happen tonight to keep me from being the happiest unicorn in the world. So let's just relax and have fun tonight, shall we?”
