Is there a better option than suicide?

When times get tough for the young alicorn pony, it puts a lot of stress on her body and her mind. Instead of talking about it with her closest friends, she lets it slide. Will her friends find out on their own and help in time, or will it be too late? Only time will tell, and time will tell.

But what if suicide isn't that bad of an idea? What will Twilight sacrifice to gain if she does end up doing it? Will it be worth it? Has she become a totally different pony? Will she actually like her life after?

Chapter 1 - Sunday Struggle

Author's Note

Story #1

This is my first story that I've written in my life. I put a lot of time into making this and really tried my best to make this have a good plot and for this to make sense.

I've proof read every chapter to check for grammar mistakes, although I do think I still made a bunch of grammar mistakes, mainly with the commas. I'm no English grammar expert, so please don't be too harsh on me if you do see some grammar mistakes.

Constructive criticism is very much appreciated no matter how harsh it may sound. I'm not really a guy to get mad easily. I can take a lot of stuff thrown at me and just stay chill. Just please make sure to at least tell me how to fix something or make better instead of just saying I'm bad or this sucks. :(

Hopefully, the sex chapter doesn't ruin the image of this story. I just wanted to try and spice things up a little. I'm sorry, Twilight Sparkle.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1 - Sunday Struggle

It was a Sunday morning when Twilight woke up from a vivid dream crying. She was alone in her room again, isolated in her castle. Spike was in the dragon lands, his new home. With Ember being in charge and Fluttershy being the one to change Garble and the bullies, he was now accepted as the newest member of the dragon lands. Every dragon respects and has a great time with him.

Twilight on the other hoof, was near destruction. "Why? Why does it have to be me? Why do I have to have so much stress?" Twilight was crying non-stop for about ten full minutes before relaxing again. She then got up from her bed and went to go take a shower. After taking some time to shower, she levitated a towel over to dry herself off. She then put the towel away and walked over to her calendar.

She looked blankly at the calendar and stared for a while before giving a sigh. She then levitated a quill over and dipped it in ink. She began to write on the calendar on today's day, being Sunday.

The start of no more. When she finished writing, she moved over to the Sunday of next week. She then started writing with her quill again and let a tear drop. The time has come.

She finished with a sigh and put the quill down. She stared at her work and cried softly to herself. After taking some time to cry, she walked back over to the bathroom to wash her face with water. She felt a little better after that. She then went back to her bed to lie down and rest.

After some time of zoning out, she heard a knock on her door. She was unwilling to answer the door but knew it wasn't a good idea to let whoever was at the door wait, so she got up and headed towards it. She opened the door and was suprised. She was greeted with a smiling and happy Rainbow Dash. All Rainbow Dash saw was a sad face. Rainbow turned immediately sad at the sight and questioned with uncertainty. "Oh, hi Twilight. Is everything alright?" Twilight sighed and faced the ground with her eyes closed. "I-I guess," she whispered quietly.

Rainbow felt heartbroken that Twilight was looking so down. She wanted to get to the bottom of this problem and fix everything. She didn't want to see a broken Twilight. "Mind if I come in?" Twilight didn't even say anything. She just stepped aside to let Rainbow in.

After Rainbow stepped hoof in and closed the door, she saw Twilight turn around and just head back to her bed. Something's not right. I need to figure out what is happening to her. That's something a close friend would do.

Or in Rainbow's case, that's what a lover would do. Rainbow did have a huge crush on Twilight for a while now. She loved everything about Twilight. She was so cute when she was nerdy. Always reading a book, doing studies, experiments, even her voice. But now was different. Now was a completely changed mare.

Rainbow followed shortly after, heading towards the direction of Twilight. When she got into her room, she saw her lying on her side with her back faced towards the door hugging a pillow. Rainbow couldn't bare the view. She never thought she'd see Twilight like this ever in her life. She was always a happy and fun mare to be around with.

"Twilight," Rainbow softly whispered as she stepped towards the sadden mare. Rainbow was careful with the words she chose. She did not want to upset Twilight any further than she already is right now. "Twilight, what's wrong? Please tell me so I can help you. I want to help," Rainbow softly asked. The purple alicorn didn't move an inch as she responded in a quite tone, "I don't think you need to worry about that Rainbow. I don't mean anything to you anyways."

Rainbow's eyes went wide with shock. She had many thoughts racing in her head at the same time. Did Twilight seriously say that she didn't mean anything to me? Does she not think she matters to me, to her friends. "Twilight, you matter to me. You also don't only matter to me. You matter to all of us, Twilight. Everypony in Equestria knows you matter. Why would you ever think you didn't matter to me or to the ponies in Equestria?"

Twilight didn't know how to respond. Was she supposed to say that she was thinking about killing herself to put out the stress? Was she supposed to pretend everything is going fine? After some time of thinking about what to say, she responded in a hurt voice while she started to cry again.

"Rainbow, ponies have been using me. Ponies all around Equestria have been using me to help with their needs without giving anything back to me. There was this one stranger who walked up to me. He asked if I had any spare bits to give in order to help feed him and his family. I was of course more than happy to give some without anything in return. The next day, he came up to me asking the same thing. I didn't want to give that many more bits to him because I was starting to run low. I pulled out my bag that had about twelve more bits in it. He looked in and saw the amount of bits I had. I gave him three and he asked for more. I replied that I needed these for myself too. He told me to give them to him and he'll leave me alone. I still said no to him. He wasn't happy with me."

Twilight stopped talking to give herself a moment to calm down and stop crying. Rainbow sat down next to her and rubbed her back gently with her hoof. She was curious now. Twilight stopped talking when she mentioned him not being happy with her. There had to be more to this story. Rainbow needed to find out.

"What happened next?" Twilight started to cry louder now. She knew this was one of the worst things that happened to her. She had trust in Rainbow Dash to let her know the whole story and not judge her. " H-He punched m-me in the f-face, took all m-my bits, and l-left. I just sat there and cried."

Twilight was now in a full crying state. Rainbow noticed and tried to turn her body and hug the poor mare. But as she was turning her body to start to wrap her hooves around the broken mare, she was dragged in towards the purple alicorn. Their body was facing each other with Twilight crying in Rainbow's chest. The cyan pony just lied there and rubbed her hooves around the alicorn's back to calm her down.

After about five minutes of heavy crying, the crying started to fade. Twilight was sobbing very quietly now, much to Rainbow's relief that she had finally calmed down. She tried whispering into her ear very loving things to help calm her down even further and maybe even stop the crying.

"Twilight, can I be honest with you?" Rainbow started to say before she paused and waited for a response. Twilight just looked up with those eyes full of sad tears and made a small nod for her to continue. She decided that now would be a good time to stop crying so Rainbow could say what she needed to say to her. Rainbow gave a sigh, knowing she was going to come clean about her feelings for Twilight. This was the perfect time for Twilight to hear what Rainbow needed to say. Rainbow continued as Twilight was still laying her head on her pillow with her face snuggled in Rainbow chest.

"Ever since I've seen you, I've felt the need to become closer to you." Twilight's ears perked up at this. She replied in a very soft whisper, just barely enough for Rainbow to fully hear, but enough for her to get the message, "go on." Rainbow seemed to get the message as she continued on.

"You're such a sweet and kind mare. You inspire me everyday to move forward instead of staying in the past and not get finished with anything. I know you probably won't believe me, but you're one of the main reasons of why I became a Wonderbolt." Twilight was shocked and looked up at the cyan pony's beautiful eyes. She weakly answered. She didn't expect her to say such things. "What? But w-why?"

Rainbow looked down into the deep eyes of the alicorn. She smiled and said the one thing she'd been waiting to say ever since she and Twilight met. "Because Twilight," Rainbow started to say before she moved her lips closer to the purple mare's ear and whispered a soft, "I love you."

Twilight couldn't believe her ears. Thoughts were running all throughout her head. Did she just say that she loves me? Do I mean that much to her? Rainbow pulled her head back and did something that was unthinkable to Twilight. Rainbow decided to give a quick kiss on her cheek. This made Twilight's heart melt. She couldn't believe that she meant this much to Rainbow Dash. She'd always thought of her as the athletic tomboy to not be this affectionate.

"Rainbow," Twilight softly started to say. "Do I really mean this much to you?" Rainbow just smirked and made a gentle reply. "I love you Twilight. I want and need you to know that. If you don't love me back like the same way I love you, that's absolutely fine with me. But the important thing is that I want you to know how much your friends and I love you. I'm being completely honest with you Twilight. I wouldn't lie about such a topic."

Twilight was shocked throughout her entire body. Rainbow Dash had just said she loves her. She had to be clear with her idea. Would Rainbow want to be marefriends with her? "Rainbow, I didn't think you would be interested in mares. I've always thought you were interested in stallions."

Rainbow proceeded to lay her head on Twilight's pillow while Twilight laid her head back down with Rainbow. The Pegasus made a reassuring smile to the quiet alicorn and spoke in a gentle but confident voice. "I don't blame you if you thought that about me. Many ponies think that I'm straight. Nopony really expects me to be a lesbian. I don't tell anypony what my real orientation is unless they're somepony that I can trust. And if you haven't noticed yet, you are a pony I can trust with my life."

Twilight was feeling a lot better that she had a pony to trust and maybe talk about her conditions to. Twilight just had one more important question to ask. This question would change the world for her depending on the answer Rainbow gives.
"Rainbow, would you be my marefriend if I told you that I am a lesbian?" Twilight was really unsure if she should've asked such a question. She was at least relived that the cyan mare handled the question in a calm manner, or maybe even better. "Twilight, I've never had a marefriend in my life. I've been looking for the right pony. That right pony just happened to be you. I've been wanting you to be my first and forever marefriend."

Twilight was stunned that Rainbow Dash would want to be her marefriend. Of all other ponies in Equestria, it was the athletic mare. Twilight did like Rainbow Dash, but never in a romantic way. The things Rainbow did to calm her down though definitely changed her thinking. She started to have romantic feelings for Rainbow. The Pegasus treated her like she was the top priority of ponies to be cared for. Helping her stop crying, being there to soothe her, asking what was wrong, and admitting that she had feelings for her. How could Twilight not be thankful of that. Twilight just had one more thing to get off her chest.

"Rainbow, I'm very thankful of what you've done for me. I didn't know you would be the type of pony to care so much for another pony. I would expect it to be Applejack or maybe even Fluttershy to do what you're doing. With that being said, I have a confession to make to you." Rainbow's ears perked up. She was scared of what Twilight was going to confess. "What is it Twi?" Twilight took a deep breath and admitted the one thing she had on her mind. "I love you too Rainbow. I would love if we became marefriends. I think it's about time to start doing that."

Rainbow was now confused and questioned the purple mare. "Are you sure? I don't want to force you to be in a relationship with me. I was just saying what feelings I have for you. I just wanted you to know how much you matter to me and to our friends." Rainbow wasn't sure Twilight got the message. "I'm saying how I love you and how you matter to me. I'm saying that if I could, I would become marefriends with you. I don't want to force you to being my marefriend." Twilight seemed to understand what Rainbow was saying, but Rainbow needed a little more of an understanding of what Twilight was saying.

"Rainbow, let me say something. I've always loved you as a friend in the past and nothing more. There was a little attraction I've had for you, but it was nothing big. The things you've done for me though, my feelings went from zero to one hundred for you. I don't want to be in a relationship with you because you forced or want me to. I want to be in a relationship with you because you've shown me how much you really do care for me and our friends. I didn't think that anypony cared for me anymore. They all just seemed to ask me to do stuff to help them and not help me when I'm in need. I don't want to be in a relationship with those types of ponies. You are different. You're the type of pony I want to be in a relationship with. Do you understand what I'm saying Rainbow?"

By the time Twilight was done giving her love speech to Rainbow, she saw tears in the cyan Pegasus' eyes. This time, Rainbow was the one crying and Twilight was the one to soothe Rainbow. Twilight did not expect this at all. "Rainbow. Rainbow, are you okay?" The cyan pony looked up and smiled widely as she hugged her tightly while trying to speak in between her breathes. "T-Twilight. You d-don't know h-how m-much those w-words mean to m-me. I love you so m-much Twilight."

Twilight responded in the most gentle voice she could. "Rainbow, I love you too. I don't think I've ever had a pony admit their feelings to me. I don't even think I've admitted my feelings to anypony except for you."

Rainbow started to calm down again. Her crying slowly died down and she was able to properly speak again. "You haven't? I was truly the first pony you've admitted your feelings to?" Twilight just nodded. There didn't need to be any words. "Am I special to you Twilight." Twilight smiled and responded back to the cyan mare who was fully calmed down now. "Yes Rainbow, you mean everything to me right now. I guess you can say that we are now marefriends?" Rainbow had a big smile on her face and replied with happy thoughts. "Yes Twilight. Can I do something for you to help start this already great relationship we're having right now?" Twilight was a little confused at first, but didn't think too much on it. "Okay. What is it?" Rainbow leaned her pair of lips closer to Twilight's pair. The purple alicorn saw where this was going and leaned in towards the blue pony as well. When they were close enough, they both entered a kissing session. It was the most passionate start they had in the beginning of their relationship.

After about ten seconds of their start of love, they pulled apart. They both smiled at each other and Rainbow spoke up again. "Twilight, would you maybe want to go out and get some food? I haven't eaten anything before coming to talk to you." Twilight smiled gently and gave a quick nod. They both got up from the bed and started to head towards the door before Twilight spoke back up. "Maybe we should clean ourselves a little bit before going out." Rainbow agreed to do so and both went to the bathroom sink to wash their faces from all the crying before heading out.

Twilight then remembered that Rainbow came over here. She didn't know why and asked the Pegasus why she came over. "Hey Rainbow, why did you come over to my place anyways?" Rainbow looked back at her marefriend and replied, "I just wanted to talk to you. We haven't seen you come out of your castle in a while and I wanted to come over to see if everything was okay. I guess it really was a good thing that I decided to come over today huh?" Twilight just nodded and her face fell again, reminding her of her morning before Rainbow came in. Thoughts were starting to come back in her head which haunted her. I will have to confess to Rainbow and my friends soon right? Will they take it seriously? Are they going to think bad of me if I tell them what I'm going to be doing a week from now? Hopefully everything goes well.

Rainbow noticed Twilight's suddenly saddened expression and walked over to embrace Twilight in a hug. "What's wrong Twi?" Twilight just shook the thoughts out of her head and responded quietly. "Oh, nothing. Don't worry about that. I'm fine." Rainbow wasn't so sure. Something was off about Twilight. She pushed it aside however and nudged Twilight on the shoulder remembering to go get food.

"Well okay, but we should go get food now. I'm kind of starving. We can go back to my place and get my bag full of bits. I'll pay for the meal." Twilight was smiling even more at this generous offer to take Twilight out. "Oh, are you sure Rainbow? I mean, I can pay for the meals." Rainbow smiled and hugged her once more. Don't worry about it Twilight. I'll pay for it. I don't want you to spend any more bits than you need to after that sad story you told me about that stallion. Twilight's heart was touched by Rainbow. "Thank you Rainbow." Rainbow gave a quick kiss to Twilight's cheek which made Twilight blush a little. "Don't mention it Twi. Let's get going now."

They both headed out of Twilight's castle and towards Rainbow's house. Once they arrived, Twilight looked in amazement of how beautiful Rainbow's house in Cloudsdale was. "Wow Rainbow. Your house is very beautiful. I love the fluffy clouds we're standing on. It's so soft and warm. I wish my castle had clouds like this."

The cyan Pegasus walked over after grabbing her bits and patted Twilight's shoulder. "Don't you worry Twilight. You could sleep with me in my house for a while if you want." Twilight got excited at the offer. "Really? You'll let me stay here with you?" Rainbow was even more happy that Twilight was all excited. This seems to be getting Twilight away from the terrible thoughts just a few hours ago. "Yes Twilight." The purple mare hugged her marefriend tightly before they both headed off to eat at Sugar Cube Corner.

When they both enter Sugar Cube Corner, they were greeted by Pinkie, one of their closest friends. "Hey guys. How's it going?" Rainbow was first to respond to Pinkie, giving Twilight a break. "Hi Pinkie. We're doing great. Can we get a table for two?" "Sure thing," the party pony responded.

She found them a table and gave them two menus. "I hope you guys are doing well. If you couldn't tell, I'm doing more than well. I'm doing spectacular," the pink pony happily said. Rainbow gave a small chuckle while Twilight just gave a nice smile. "I don't really think I need the menu. Can I just get a glass of pink lemonade and a large fruit salad?" Pinkie took Dash's menu and gave a happy reply. "Sure thing Dashie. What about you Twilight?" Twilight couldn't find anything appealing, so she just went with something similar to what Dash ordered. "I think I'll just have a plain salad and a glass of ice cold water." Pinkie took Twilight's menu and gave another happy reply. "Sure thing you two. I'll get those up before you know it." Pinkie then turned around and hopped all the way to the kitchen to grab their orders.

The two ponies at the table just sat in silence not knowing what to say to each other. Pinkie soon came back with their meals and gave another happy comment. "I hope you two enjoy your meals. They look really pretty and I'm jealous. Fruit is so sweet on my tongue. I just want to eat out of Dashie's bowl right now." Rainbow gave another chuckle and gave a response to that. "I'm sure you would Pinkie." Pinkie giggled at that and gave another reply before heading off. "I'm going to let you two enjoy your meals now. I'll be back to check on you soon." Pinkie left the two mares alone as they ate their meals silently.

After they both got done, Rainbow called over Pinkie and asked for the bill. The party pony came over with the bill shortly after. Rainbow paid for their food and started heading out towards the door. "Thanks for the amazing and tasty food Pinkie. You guys rock," the blue pony said.

The pink pony was so jumpy and hugged Dash tightly for a few seconds while talking into her ear. "Thank you so much Dashie. I've always knew you would love our food." With that being said, Pinkie let go of Rainbow. Twilight was seen and heard giving a small chuckle at the two ponies.

After Twilight and Rainbow said their goodbyes, they left the place. Rainbow then had an idea. "Hey Twilight, let's head back to my place. I don't want to feel lonely and I don't think you would want to feel lonely either." The purple mare wrapped her hooves around her lover and replied with a gentle voice. "Of course. Can we go back to my place first? I want to grab some books to take with me so I have something to read over at your place." Rainbow gave a caring smile. "Of course. Anything for you Twilight." The alicorn was glad that she had a loving marefriend who actually cared about her, not just somepony who was just using her to get what they wanted.

They headed towards Twilight's place and grabbed a few books to put in her bag. After the books were chosen, they headed off back to Rainbow's house. Once they arrived, they went to Rainbow's room. Twilight proceeded to put down her bag of books and they both walked over to the fluffy bed and lied down. Twilight snuggled up to her lover's chest and softly cuddled up. They held like that until the end of the day when it was getting dark. They both then got up to get ready for bed. Once they both got back into bed, Twilight was laying down with her back up against Rainbow's chest. The Pegasus pony was happily eager to wrap her hooves around her lover's frame and fall asleep.

Chapter 2 - Monday Madness

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 3 - Tuesday Turnover

Back at Rainbow's house up in Cloudsdale lie two marefriends sleeping on her usual fluffy bed. Rainbow was sleeping well throughout the night. However, Twilight still had a nightmare. This seemed to be a different kind of nightmare from what Twilight was used to seeing. Instead of having a nightmare about being tortured in Tartarus, she had a nightmare about her friends.

Twilight was in Tartarus alone with nopony to be seen. She walked around the place to try and find a way to escape, but there was no luck. "Hello? Is anypony there?" The scared alicorn tried to call out, but there was no response to be heard.

She kept walking in the hopes of running into an escape route. She started to sweat in fear when she started hearing muffled cries for help. The worried alicorn started sprinting towards where she heard the sounds and found something that would make her shiver down her spine.

All five of her closest pony friends and Spike where chained and hanging from the air behind metal bars. They were all unable to speak as there was cloth covering their mouths. Twilight ran towards them to try to find a way to free them. She stopped dead in her tracks when four of the same demonic ponies that were in all of her nightmares stepped in front of her from both sides. She saw this and her worry grew. She started to think that because it was always the same four ponies, they had something to do with her. She then got curious and nervously tried to talk them out of it. "Um, hello? Why d-do you ponies k-keep coming back? What have I-I done t-to deserve this from y-you?"

The four ponies looked at each other and gave a smirk before turning their heads back to the scared pony before them. One of the demonic ponies took a few steps forward slowly before stopping again to speak. "This is the place for you to be, Twilight."

The alicorn was in complete shock. Why was this the place she had to be at? "Um, why here? I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this, have I?" The purple pony was now shaking heavily.

"No, it's not that. It's that you're not really needed in the real world. What do you do anyways? Sit in your castle and read until time passes? That's honestly a waste of a life. You deserve to be down here with us. Heck, you could even join us if you give us a chance." The demonic pony stepped even closer to the shaking pony. Twilight was too scared to move, so she just stood there.

"Please don't hurt me. Don't hurt my friends. Let my friends go. Why are they even here?" Twilight tried to reason with them the best that she could. She really hoped that some talking would get her out of this torturous world.

The pony that was walking forward was now close enough to touch the mare. He turned his body with her on his right. He placed his right hoof around her and walked her forward. Twilight didn't know what to do or why she was being walked forward, but she obliged. She just hoped that if she would just follow instructions and do as the ponies say, she would maybe be set free.

As she was being lead forward by the pony to her left, he started to give her some options that she would be able to agree and go through with. "So Twilight, how about I show you around this place? We really want you to join us. If you do, we will be a lot nicer to you and possibly even your friends. We all really adore you. You're smart, funny, you work hard, and, as Rainbow likes to put it, cute."

Twilight was confused at the last part. What does he mean as Rainbow likes to put it? Does she think I'm cute? Are these ponies able to know what happens in real life Equestria?

"Okay, I'll do what you ask me to do every time I have a nightmare. I just don't want to get hurt." The four demonic ponies all looked at each other and grinned. She would hopefully be working for them soon. They would keep her down here with them, make her torture innocent ponies in their nightmares, and it would all work out fine. The pony with his hoof around Twilight seemed to brighten up a little.

"That's pretty nice of you to work with us, Twilight. We like when ponies are obedient. Everything goes so much more smoother down here when they are. We do not like troubles, and I don't think you do either. So without wasting anymore time, why don't we get started?" The mare looked over to the pony with his hoof wrapped around her frame and felt nervous. Was he going to make her do things she wouldn't want to do?

"Okay, fine. I'll do whatever you need me to do. I just don't want to be hurt, and I don't want my friends to be hurt either." Twilight spoke with obvious worry in her voice. The four ponies nodded in unison and their task began.

"Okay Twilight, here's the plan. I'm going to be the one to lead you around. I will give you instructions to do, and you will complete them without question. If you can manage to do it well, then we won't hurt you and we may even go easier on you and let you roam around here free." Twilight was relieved to here such words come out of a demonic pony's mouth.

"However," Twilight's attention perked back up at that word as he was not finished. "If you fail to comply with us or don't do your task the way we tell you, then there will be significant consequences." Twilight made a very audible gulp that could be heard by everypony in the room.

"You three, get into position," the pony beside her commanded to the other demonic ponies. They all saluted and went behind the metal bars to grab one of Twilight's friends that was first in line, which so happened to be Spike. As they released him, he tried to run. The demonic ponies were smarter than that though as they grabbed him after release and held him, pushing him forward to where a table was lying in the middle of the room. They put Spike on it and strapped him down. The lead pony started to explain the process of what would be happening as Twilight was already staring in horror.

"What you are seeing before you is the baby dragon being strapped onto the table. This is your first task," he paused as he levitated over an axe, sharp enough to slice through anything pretty easily. As Twilight saw what was being lifted over to her, she began to panic. Was she going to be forced to harm Spike with such a dangerous tool? This can't be real. She was interrupted from her thoughts as the axe was dropped right in front of her.

"Do you know what you are going to do with this?" The scared alicorn couldn't contain herself as she was all shaky from the fear of harming an innocent creature. Twilight just shook her head to respond since she was pretty much loss for words.

"We have casted a spell earlier which enables you to use your magic freely now, but be warned. If you use your magic to do things that we don't allow, then it will be a completely different experience for you. With that being said, there are just two steps you need to do. The first step is to take hold of that axe. The second step is to pick one of the parts of the dragon, except his head, and slice right through it will all of your strength in one go. Think you can do that for me?"

Was he being serious? Is he making me torture my friends? Is this what my life will become? Is this how I'm going to live from now on?

"I-I-I can't. I can't do that to him."

The lead pony was not impressed at this action. "This is what you will do. This is what happens down here whether you like it or not. This is what these ponies deserve. This is what you deserve to do. Ponies don't care about you in Equestria. Do you see what happened to you? Ponies you don't even know just walk up to you and take advantage of you. They ask for help when in reality, they don't need it. They just want you to do their dirty work. They make you move their boxes, clean their house, give them bits, and you just let all of that happen. You can't even stand up for yourself and just say no. We are trying to help you here. This may be just a nightmare compared to the real world, but this is exactly what this feels like when you get taken advantage of in the real world. Reality is a nightmare if you just let ponies take advantage of you. Now, I told you to pick up that axe, find a body part on the dragon that isn't his head, and go down on it as hard are you can."

Twilight was now about to start crying. She was getting worried about doing such things to her friends. "No. Please don't make me do this. They're innocent. They haven't done anything wrong. It should be me who takes the slice from the axe, not them. Please don't make me hurt them."

All of Twilight's friends were starting to cry from how emotional Twilight was about them. She didn't want to do what she was told by the demonic pony, even if it meant business from them. She even said that she would take the slice from the axe to prevent her friends from taking it.

"Don't make me ask you again. DO! IT! NOW!" The pony was now annoyed at Twilight's constant stalling and stomped his hoof on the ground. Twilight was still begging for mercy. She even got so desperate that she went down to the floor and held onto the lead pony's hoof, begging for mercy while crying. "Please. Please d-don't make m-me. I-I can't do it."

The pony just looked up at the other three looking at him. They just shrugged and stood there next to Spike with blank expressions while Spike and the other five ponies behind him was still breathing heavily from the situation they were in at the moment.

The lead pony then thought of an idea and smirked. "Well, okay then. Have it be your way then." Twilight's face lit up at the sudden mood change. She was so relieved to hear that she didn't have to hurt her friends. "Really? You're n-not going to make me hurt my friends?"

Twilight could hardly believe that she could get out of this situation so easily. It almost seemed too good to be true. The pony who's hoof was being grabbed by the poor innocent pony seemed to have mercy on her after all. "No, I won't. It seems almost about time for us to get you out of here if you're not going to do your job."

Twilight had a confused expression on her face. Did they control her nightmares? The four ponies lit up their horns to cast a spell. After taking some time for them to charge up, they shot it right at Twilight and the nightmare immediately ended.

She immediately opened her eyes and was greeted with sunlight and a sleeping Rainbow Dash holding on behind her. She just sighed and thought about what happened. Twilight wasn't crying however, but she was in a complete state of confusion. There were so many questions that needed to be answered.

Do they know what I'm doing in Equestria? Can they just drag me down with them at anytime? Are they in charge of my nightmares? Are they the ponies who started all of this after all? Then, one questioned was the most curious to her. It seemed to be the one that she needed first priority to be answered. Is Tartarus where I should truly belong?

These thoughts ran through her head for quite a while until Rainbow started to gently wake up. These questions would have to be answered, but who was going to answer them? Could the princesses answer these questions? No. They possibly couldn't. Could her friends be able to just somewhat answer them? They were just normal ponies in Equestria like her.

Then, an idea came into her head as she thought about which ponies could actually answer these. The only possible ponies that could answer these questions, were the four ponies in...

"Good morning love," Rainbow whispered. The awaking sounds of her marefriend snapped her out of her thoughts. "Oh, good morning Rainbow Dash."

"Still having nightmares? I didn't wake up to you panicking again like last night. I don't know if that was because you didn't have one or I just happened to be sleeping pretty deep," Rainbow asked curiously.

This question made Twilight wonder. Was she panicking in her sleep? She did have a nightmare again, but this one was different. It might have just been a nightmare without the actions being real. She tried to answer with the most accurate reply she could think of.

"Well, I did have a nightmare, but it wasn't the same like the other ones I've had. This one was different from the previous times." Rainbow was now more curious than ever before.

"Do you want to maybe go back to Zecora's hut? We could check to see if she's made any other potions to help. I think after yesterday we visited, she couldn't stop thinking about what she saw and went to maybe do some research on it."

Twilight didn't hesitate as she immediately agreed to the idea. "Sure, let's do it."

As they both walked together to make their way towards their zebra friend, Twilight was still thinking about her questions that she thought of before Rainbow Dash woke up. She would maybe hope that the next nightmare she had, she would be able to ask those questions to those ponies. Maybe they would agree to answer them. Anything can happen after all. This time, she actually did want to have a nightmare again when she ended up going back to sleep. But for now, she had to focus on the tasks in the real world.

As they both walked up to Zecora's door and knocked on it several times, the purple mare turned over to her marefriend to speak. "I think I should be the one to explain it this time. Zecora might understand better if it's me who's doing the explaining."

Rainbow just nodded and agreed to the idea. It did make sense that Twilight should be the one to explain what was going on with her nightmares, not her.

As they see the door open again, they were greeted with a very enthusiastic Zecora this time. "Ah, hello my pony friends. You two have come back to ask more about how Twilight's nightmares could end?"

Rainbow both smiled and nodded while Twilight just gave a small smile. "Well, come in then. Hopefully we will be able to fix the nightmares for this all to end."

As the three of them made their way further into the hut, Zecora grabbed a bottle on the way. "Try this, Twilight Sparkle. I did some more research and added more herbs into the mixture of the vision potion. If done correctly, this will be able to just sink in like lotion."

Twilight just nodded and took the potion from Zecora with her magic, uncorked it, and drank some of the liquid. She set it down again and waited for the effect to take place. In the meanwhile, she looked over to Zecora and Rainbow Dash and spoke in a soft tone. "I really hope this helps."

The cyan pony nudged Twilight on the shoulder while giving her a comforting smile. "We all hope it works, Twi. We want to help you as much as possible." Rainbow finished her sentence with an affectionate hug which Twilight happily let happen.

After a few seconds of hugging, Twilight was now in her vision. She was in Tartarus. However, it was just the four ponies of her nightmare. There was nopony else around. What is this vision supposed to be?

"What should we make her do?" Twilight snapped out of her thought when she heard one of them start speaking to the others.

"I have the perfect idea," the lead pony of the demonic group began to say. Everypony looked at the one who said it, including Twilight. He had a huge smirk on his face. He knew just the plan on what to do with Twilight.

"There's only one thing we need to accomplish out of her. We need her to break." The ponies all looked at each other. They began to smirk at the idea that was said.

"Do you all know how that can be accomplished?" The ponies all looked at each other. They then looked back at the pony, all giving him a "go on" gesture.

"I have everything planned. The next nightmare we give her, we need to do everything to break her. This can go as far as hitting, casting spells, and pouring extremely hot liquids all over her body."

The three who were listening all exchanged glances with one another and seemed to like it. However, Twilight wasn't too happy on the idea of her breaking to make her join them. She didn't want to be in Tartarus serving them. She wanted to be in Equestria, happy with her friends. However, she wasn't very happy in Equestria during this time. But it seemed that he still wasn't done explaining his plan as he let out a small chuckle. She and the three other ponies looked back at him, giving them their attention.

"That is still not all of the ways we could break her." The ponies seemed to be confused. After a while of trying to think of what else there could be to break her, a pony spoke up. "What is it? I thought you already listed every possible way to break that mare." The lead pony then gave another chuckle. Twilight felt something off with this chuckle though. It seemed more... evil.

"Not yet," the pony continued. "I may have listed some possible ways to break that mare physically, but we need to break her mentally as well." All of the ponies seemed to get the hint. Twilight was still as confused as ever.

"Well, explain what we need to do in order to make her mentally break," one of them replied.

"We are going to break her... sexually." Eyebrows were raised in the room at this idea. Twilight was frightened at this idea.

Break me mentally by sexual acts? How does that even work? What kind of sick freaks are these ponies? I would never do such things with these ponies. The only pony I would ever have sex with, is... my Rainbow Dash. At least I know Dash won't go to the point where I break. These ponies obviously don't care.

"Is it settled then?" The lead pony tried to make sure that they were all in agreement. The ponies looked back at each other and exchanged smirks. They all looked back and nodded unanimously. The lead pony gave the biggest smirk Twilight has ever seen in her life before being transported out of her vision and back into the real world.

Twilight then saw Rainbow Dash and Zecora looking back at her. She was interrupted from her thoughts when the pegasus started speaking. "So, how did it go Twi? Did you find out what you needed to find out?" Rainbow was asking really hopeful.

Twilight then looked back at her marefriend. "I-I saw a vision of being in Tartarus with the same ponies. They were talking to each other and were figuring out ways to get me to break." Twilight finished with her head hung low.

Rainbow went from all happy to worry. "Do you know enough to find out why?"

Twilight then thought back to the previous nightmare she had, having to bring the axe down on Spike, which she didn't go through with. She sighed in sadness. "I had a nightmare last night. I saw all of my friends there. They were all chained up and hanging from a wall. They dragged Spike and strapped him down on a table. The lead pony of the group levitated an axe over to me and tried to force me to pick it up and chop one of Spike's limbs off. I, of course, chose not to do it. Then, the pony told me about how terrible my life had become. He said that I was useless and would be better off living with them in Tartarus."

Rainbow and Zecora seemed emotional with this story. This time, Zecora spoke up. "When you saw the vision, what more were the ponies talking about? Is it something that we should be worrying about now?"

Twilight didn't really have much to say. They were just talking about the different ways to get her to break. "Well, they told me they would hurt me by casting spells and pouring hot liquids on me until I break."

Rainbow Dash rubbed a hoof on Twilight's back to help her know everything was going to be okay. There was still one important thing that Twilight had left out.

Well, that should be enough information to help me out. They don't need to know that they also planned to make me break by doing sexual acts, right?

After some awkward silence, Rainbow decided it was time to go. "Well, I think it's time we start heading out. Thanks for your help Zecora. We really appreciate the work that you've put in to help Twilight."

"Don't you worry one bit, Rainbow Dash. I'm sure there will be a way for Twilight to recover fast," Zecora responded as happy as ever.

The pegasus gave one last smile to Zecora before she and Twilight left the hut and closed the door behind them.

"Let's fly to my place, okay?" The Pegasus wanted to try to get to back to her house quicker so they could have more time to relax. Twilight just gave a sad sigh and weakly responded. "Okay. I guess we can do that."

As they both made it to Rainbow's house, they went up to her bedroom and was ready for the day to end. Rainbow figured to try to make Twilight smile. "Hey Twilight, do you want anything to eat? I got some food I could cook up? I also got some nice salad and fruit if you're just in the mood for a nice quick cold snack."

Twilight thought for a moment before deciding her choices. A nice fruit salad wouldn't hurt. "I'll just take a fruit salad, thank you Rainbow," Twilight smiled when she said her marefriend's name. She really was being treated kindly.

As soon as Rainbow went into the kitchen and back, she saw that Twilight was reading a Daring Do book. Smiling, the cyan pony flew over with their bowls in hoof. She set one down for Twilight and one for herself.

"Reading Daring Do?"

"Yeah," the alicorn responded before an idea came up. "You want to read together?" Smiling, the pegasus agreed.

Rainbow sat next to Twilight and held her close while they comfortably read together while giving a few cheek kisses every now and then. After taking some time to read, eat, and clean, off to bed they both happily went.

Chapter 4 - Wednesday Wondering

During the early mornings of around four, the cyan pegasus woke up without knowing why. She did have a lot of energy however, and decided to get up and go for a glass of water. As she was walking towards the kitchen to pour some nice cold water, she then thought to herself about Twilight. Twilight seems to be sleeping well. Maybe the nightmares have worn off? Or maybe it's like last time where she appears to be fine, but then she's still having a nightmare.

Rainbow stopped thinking about it and decided to let it go. She poured herself a huge glass of cold water and chugged it all in ten seconds flat. She then made her way back to her bed where she saw her beautiful pony lover sleeping peacefully. She smiled at the sight and hopped back into bed while wrapping her hooves around her and kissing her sweetly on the cheek before laying her head down on her mane, smelling the sweet scent. She had suddenly thought about her other four closest friends: Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Applejack.

How come I haven't asked them for help yet? I've been too focused on trying to get Twilight help from Zecora, that I've completely forgotten our closest friends. They will obviously be able to help. I'm going to do that today. Hopefully, Twilight can come with me to help explain everything to them.

Rainbow made a plan in her head to go gather up the other four of her closest pony friends to ask for advice. Out of the four, she would expect Applejack to be the most help of them all.

Rarity is just too much of a drama queen. She also talks about fashion too much to be that much help.

Pinkie might not take it seriously enough. She might just talk about eating cupcakes to solve your problems.

Fluttershy might be able to help, but she'll just get cut off by everypony else to actually get her words out. Well, at least she's still a reasonable pony to ask for advice.

Applejack however, she's the one to put your faith into. She's the most honest pony out there. She's also the most serious about certain topics. Asking advice from her to help about Twilight's nightmares should be no problem at all.

After some time of falling back to sleep while keeping a firm hold on Twilight, the morning soon came. Rainbow Dash was the mare to wake up first. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was noon. Now would be a good time for Twilight to wake up so she could tell her what her plan was today.

"Baby Twi, wake up," the Pegasus said very softly to her lover. Twilight seemed to wake up to that as she started to roll her body over and meet face to face with her one true lover and smiled. "Hi Rainbow. How are you today?"

Rainbow was smiling even more than the past. Twilight seemed completely normal this morning. "I'm great. Did you have nightmares again?" Twilight just kept smiling and shook her head no. "No, I didn't. This was one of the best sleeps I've ever had. I felt like I was free. I just slept peacefully with nothing to disturb me." "Well that's good to hear," Rainbow replied.

"Say, I made a plan to go ask our friends for advice so they can try and help you. I'm not sure if the nightmares have completely worn off as you might have hoped. Is it okay if we go talk to them and try to get them to help?"

Twilight didn't seem to worry. "No problem, Rainbow. Though, I might stay here and get some reading done. I'm in a pretty good mood right now and I kind of want to take advantage of this for as long as I can."

Rainbow seemed to understand where Twilight was coming from. "Sure thing. I'll leave you alone here. If you need something to eat or drink, just go into the kitchen and grab a snack or some drink. It's all open for you."

Twilight couldn't stop smiling at how well she was being treated. Rainbow really did seem to understand her lover's emotions. "Thank you," Twilight calmly whispered.

Rainbow just gave a small kiss on her marefriend's lips before she got up in response of being thanked. She couldn't be happier to see Twilight all happy and cheerful this morning. She really hoped this would last forever, but that's a lot to hope for.

Rainbow then started to lift herself up to start going. But just before she left Twilight to do her own thing, she still had to be sure of something.

"Hey Twi, if your friends do ask to see you, can they?" Twilight looked over to the mare who asked the question. "Yeah, sure. I'll be pretty happy to talk to them if they need it. I'll try to get as much reading done as possible then."

Rainbow seemed to like that she was willing to talk to her friends again when needed. "Thanks Twi. I'll be back in maybe a couple of hours. Take care, baby. I love you and will always love you." Rainbow then left to gather up her friends together for a little meeting.

Twilight then felt her heart warm up. Those last few words really made a huge impact on her. Did she call me her baby? She told me that she will always love me.

Take care baby. I love you and will always love you.

Those words kept running through her mind until she reacted with a loving smile and let out a small tear. After some time to collect her thoughts, she whispered to herself. "Rainbow Dash, I love you too. I really wish to live forever with you. I love you with all of my heart and I wish you truly knew how much I love you. Thank you babe," Twilight ended with an affectionate smile to herself.

Little did Twilight know, Rainbow Dash was still hiding outside, hearing everything Twilight was saying about her as she wanted to hear her reaction to the truly loving words she said. The words that Rainbow heard had also seemed to warm her heart up as well. She then gave a very small whisper while finally heading towards her friends. "Thank you for your kind words Twilight. I will remember them for all of eternity."

She made her way towards the ponies that are her life, her four other closest friends. As she was flying, she started to think about where the location of the meeting should be. Sweet Apple Acres? Fluttershy's cottage? Sugar Cube Corner? Rarity's boutique? I'm not sure. Should I pick a location that could be in between all of those places? Where would be a good choice?

Rainbow thought for a while longer until she finally picked the place in which she thought would be perfect. Ah ha! Twilight's castle! That should be a nice and easy place to get to for all ponies. I would have to ask Twilight to unlock it if I want to get in, though.

She made her way first to Sweet Apple Acres, where Applejack would be. Once she spotted the Apple family working on the farm, she made her way over to the one farm pony she was looking for. "Hey Applejack." The farm pony was suprised Rainbow visited at random. "Oh, hey Dash. What brings you along?" The farm pony smiled kindly at Dash. She'd always like to talk to Dash. Their competitive history had made them like each other a lot more.

"Are you available for a meeting at Twilight's castle in an hour?" Applejack had to think for a bit. She wasn't sure if she would have time. There was a lot of work to do on the farm, as usual. "I don't know Dash. There's a lot of work to get done here," Applejack said with uncertainty.

Granny Smith overheard the conversation and walked up to the two mares with a smile on her face. "Applejack dear, don't you worry. We can handle the farm today. There's not that much left to do. Why don't you go along with Rainbow Dash for a while. This meeting sounds pretty important."

Applejack was still unsure about this. She did play a huge role in the farm after all. "Are you sure you three will be able to handle it without me?"

The smallest member of the Apple family's voice could now be heard talking from a few yards away. "Don't worry Applejack, you can count on us," young Applebloom said.

Applejack was starting to think it could be okay after all. Granny did say that there wasn't much work left. She put back the smile on her face before turning back to the cyan pony before saying the words she wanted to hear. "Okay Dash, I'll go."

Rainbow's face lit up widely. She leaned in to hug the farm pony tightly as a way to say thank you. "Yes! Thank you Applejack. And you're right, Granny Smith. This meeting is really important. I'm going to be on my way to gather up the rest of the crew. Remember to be at Twilight's castle in one hour," Rainbow finished before she took off.

The farm mare turned back to her family after her little talk with her athletic friend. "Well, I think I can still help before I have to go in one hour. How about we get back to work so you three can relax after?" They all seemed to agree to that and got back to finish their plowing.

Rainbow then made her way towards Fluttershy's cottage. "Hopefully, Flutters will be an easy one to talk into going to my meeting."

Once the Pegasus arrived at the cottage, she knocked gently but loudly, as to not startle the many animals that was in there. After a few seconds of waiting, she heard Fluttershy's voice trying to calm down the animals to get to the door. "Out of the way please. I need to get to the door. I don't want whoever's at the door to wait any longer than they need to."

Once Rainbow heard the hoof steps approach the door on the other side, it swung open and she was greeted with Fluttershy. "Oh, hi Dashie. It's a surprise seeing you here," she said in her usual timid voice.

"Hey Flutters, I was just dropping by to see if you would be available in one hour for a meeting at Twilight's castle. It's very important."

The timid Pegasus smiled at the request of a meeting. A time where all of her closest friends would get together and talk about something. That seemed fun. "Sure, I can be there." Rainbow smiled at the response she got. "Cool. Thanks Flutters," Rainbow said before taking off.

Rainbow's next stop would be at the carousel boutique for Rarity, so long as she's not too focused on making clothes, she would also be an easy one to convince.

She made her way to her boutique and just went in, knowing that the shop was opened to anypony at this time of day. Once she spotted Rarity alone, she made her way over to greet the fashionista. "Hey Rarity."

Rarity's attention shifted towards the pony talking and gave a usual smile. "Why hello, Rainbow Dash. I didn't think I'd see you coming to my boutique. Care to try on some clothing?"

Rainbow just brushed it off. Of course she would ask her to try some clothes. "I'm good. I just came over here to ask you a huge favor. There's a meeting at Twilight's castle in one hour. I'm getting the rest our good friends to talk about something that was going on with Twilight."

Rarity just smiled. "Of course, darling. Anything for our friends. I'll make sure to close up shop early then. I'm not really getting any customers right now."

Rainbow was really surprised. That was a little too easy. "Well, okay. Thanks Rarity. I knew I could always count on you." Rainbow gave Rarity a quick hug before flying out of the boutique.

Rainbow then made her way to Sugar Cube Corner, a place where the Cake family and Pinkie would obviously be at. Pinkie Pie was the last pony to invite to the meeting. Hopefully, she wouldn't be too much of a hassle to get.

Once she got there, she went inside the shop and greeted the Cakes. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Cake," Rainbow happily said.

"Hi Rainbow," both cakes said simultaneously.

"May I ask where Pinkie Pie is?" She didn't need to wait long before Mrs. Cake answered almost immediately. "She's upstairs in her room right now."

"Cool, thank you two," Rainbow replied.

She made her way upstairs to the party pony's room and found Pinkie playing with Gummy. "Hi Pinkie Pie," Rainbow greeted.

Pinkie's attention turned towards the cyan Pegasus and gave an excited response. "Hi Dashie! What brings you to me? Did you and Twilight like the salads last time you visited for food? I'm not really a fan of salads. I prefer sweets like cupcakes, cakes, ice cream, and candy of course. So what are you doing here?"

Rainbow waited until the party pony finished her rant, which was unusual for the pegasus to do since she would normally just interrupt. "There's a meeting at Twilight's castle in one hour. We need you to be there for something important which needs to be taken seriously," Rainbow finished with hopes that Pinkie would actually take it seriously.

"Well of course I'll be there for my friends. Don't worry, I'll try to really help the best that I can."

Rainbow was glad to hear that. "Thanks Pinkie."

The athletic pony then made her way back to her house in Cloudsdale. The only thing left to do would be to unlock the door so they could actually get in.

Once the cyan pegasus made her way back to Twilight, she saw the cute nerdy mare reading another Daring Do book and asked her with a smile, "Hey Twi. Do you have the key to your castle? I invited all of our friends to your place to hold our meeting."

The purple alicorn looked up and remembered that Starlight should've been back by now from her little trip with Trixie across Equestria. "I think you can just go. Starlight went with Trixie on a trip across the lands of Equestria and should be back already. I'm sure she could let you in."

Rainbow had forgotten that Starlight also lives in Twilight's castle. "Oh, okay. Thanks Twilight. I'll come back when everything gets finished."

"Okay, thank you Rainbow," the alicorn happily replied.

And with that, the pegasus flew back towards the castle to see if Starlight was there to open the door.

She knocked as soon as she arrived. Within a couple of minutes, the castle door opened and the multicolored mane pony was greeted with a smiling Starlight, as expected.

"Oh, hey Rainbow. Didn't expect to see you here," the pony asked surprised.

"Hi Starlight. Is it okay if my friends and I stay here for a bit to have a meeting? I arranged it in one hour for it to be here."

Starlight just stepped aside and gestured the cyan pony in. "Sure thing, Rainbow. Hey, have you seen Twilight by the way? I came back from a trip with Trixie and couldn't find her."

"Yeah. She's at my place in Cloudsdale reading some books and relaxing," the pegasus responded.

Starlight was happy to here that she was okay. "Well that's good to hear. I'm going to go head back to my room. You can wait here or do whatever until your friends arrive."

Rainbow smiled at the kind pony. "Thanks Starlight," Rainbow said before she saw her go back to her room.

Rainbow waited a while at the door for her friends to show up. They all seemed to come in all together. That would save a lot of time.

"Hey guys," Rainbow said cheerfully. "Hey Dashie! We're here for the meeting," Pinkie enthusiastically said.

"We're going to be having the meeting in the map room. Starlight is in her room right now, so she shouldn't be that much of a disturbance," said Rainbow.

They made their way to the map room and sat down on their each individual throne. Rainbow was first to start the conversation.

"I bought you ponies here to talk about something that has been going on with Twilight," Rainbow talked in all seriousness.

"What is it RD?" Applejack asked nervously.

Rainbow decided it would be best to get straight to the point.

"It started from Sunday, just a couple of days ago. I came over to her castle to talk to her because I didn't see her in a while. When she opened the door, I saw her feeling down. There were a lot of moments that she cried and I had to be there for her. One time in the middle of the night, I heard her crying in her sleep. It turned out that she was having a terrible nightmare that she was crying in that lead her to cry in her sleep. She had been having a lot of nightmares recently and I suggested that we go to Zecora to see if she could make a potion so that Twilight could see a vision to help stop it. Today, she didn't have any nightmares. That seemed kind of odd that it would just stop out of no where. That's why I came to you ponies. Twilight has agreed to let me talk to you four to see if you could offer help of any kind to help her overcome this difficult time."

The four ponies stared at each other with shock. How could this be happening to Twilight and none of them knew about it except for Rainbow? Something wasn't right and they all suspected that. "Um, darling? How come you knew about this and we didn't?"

Rainbow was quick to come up with an explanation. "Well, you see. Twilight and I have been talking a lot recently. We've been having feelings for each other and it made it easier for her to talk to me about it."

Applejack was confused. "Feelings? What do you mean you two were having feelings with each other? Wait, you don't mean..."

"Yes," Rainbow jumped in. "Twilight and I are marefriends."

The room was filled with silence. Everypony was so surprised to hear that they were in a relationship beyond friends. Pinkie was the first to yell out about how happy she was about them. "Oh my gosh, Rainbow! You got a lucky marefriend!? We are so proud of you girls!"

The other ponies in the room seemed to smile at how energetic Pinkie was about their relationship.

"Wow. I think we're all surprised to hear that," Fluttershy calmly said in a soft voice.

"I'm not surprised. I know you don't really expect me to be a lesbian, but I am. Twilight says she is too," Rainbow said calmly.

Everypony just looked at each other and smiled.

"Well, I'm happy for you two. I know myself that I am straight, but that doesn't mean I don't love you two being together. I think you two make the perfect couple." Those words coming from Rarity's mouth really made Rainbow feel the impact.

"Thanks Rarity. It really means a lot to me."

After Rainbow realized that they were getting a little off topic, she quickly changed the subject back to focus on Twilight, not on them being together. "As much as I appreciate you guys loving us being together, we got to focus on Twilight. She's the one that needs the real help and advice from her friends."

This made all of them turn back on their serious faces and actually give advice.

"You said that Twilight was having nightmares?" Applejack quickly said, trying to get the conversation back up and running.

"Yeah, some pretty extreme ones too." Rainbow explained.

Fluttershy then decided to speak in next, wanting to get more detail. "What are the nightmares about?"

Rainbow had to think for a moment before remembering that they were about demons. "Twilight told me that they were about demonic ponies coming after her. She said one time at Zecora's hut that they would break her and make her join them in Tartarus. That's about as much as I remember. In general, we need to help her with her nightmares."

This scared everypony in the room, mainly Fluttershy. "Well, how are we going to do that? We don't have some sort of super power that could just help fix the problems Twilight is having. We're not that powerful," said a fearful Applejack.

"I agree with Applejack. There's absolutely no way we can help fix nightmares. How is that even possible to do?"

Rainbow was starting to lose hope. That was until the timid pegasus had some sort of idea. "How about if Twilight does some mind exercises to help her calm down before she sleeps. You said that she's been having a lot of nightmares recently. Maybe the amount of nightmares puts a lot of stress on Twilight and makes her think negatively. What if she does something like meditate when she wakes up and before she goes to bed? I'm sure that could help her out at least a little."

This idea really seemed to stun Rainbow Dash. "That's amazing, Flutters. I'm sure the demons are after her because she so stressed. If she calms her mind down, they won't be as needy for her. That's the best idea," Rainbow happily said. "Are there any more ideas you ponies have?"

The room went silent for a few seconds as they were all trying to think of something. Rarity then had another idea. "How are you holding her when you two are sleeping together?"

This question seemed to shock the cyan pony a lot. "Why would you need to know that?" Rainbow asked the unicorn very curiously.

"I assume that because you two are a couple, that you hold each other at night, am I right?"

Rainbow just nodded without saying anything.

"If you hold Twilight in a way that makes her mind calm down until she goes to sleep, I'm sure that would also help. Stroke her mane. Read a book to her. Give her sweet and loving kisses. Show her how romantic and affectionate you can be. She needs to know how much you truly love her by giving her everything you've got."

Rainbow really loved the ideas Rarity was giving. Sure, she'd wrap her hooves around her and give her kisses occasionally, but did she really make her heart warm up? Sure she did, but there could definitely be more moments like that. She would soon plan on showing Twilight how much she truly loved her.

"I really appreciate your guy's help. Is there anymore advice you guys could give?" Rainbow looked around the room only to see nopony else giving advice.

"Well, I don't really have one. I just hope Twilight can be safe. Hopefully everything goes well," the party pony said.

"Same. I'm sure everything will be just fine. I just hope you will always be there for her whenever she needs it," Applejack included.

Rainbow smiled at the hope and kind comment. "I will, AJ. Thanks everypony. I'll be sure to let Twilight know about what you told me. I guess this meeting is done then. Thanks for your help."

Everypony smiled and soon got up to head out the door. "If you ever need anymore advice, you know where to find us darling," Rarity chimed in one more time before leaving.

Once everypony left, Starlight walked in. "Hey Rainbow. I couldn't help but overhear some of the conversation as I was walking to the kitchen. Is it okay if I call in two other ponies to talk to in order to further help? I feel really bad about Twilight after everything I heard," the pony said before looking sad because of Twilight having such difficult times.

Starlight asking to further help her friend brightened up Rainbow's smile. "Of course you can. All help is very much appreciated."

This made the unicorn smile greatly. "Thank you Rainbow. I'll go ahead and plan everything out and start tomorrow. Oh, could you also ask Twilight if it's okay for me to use her portal?"

Rainbow nodded happily. "Sure thing. I'll ask her and let you know tomorrow. I'm going to go ahead and fly back to Twilight now. Take care." As she flew away, she heard the unicorn say to take care as well. She was always a lovely unicorn to talk to.

Rainbow had made her way back to her house and saw Twilight still reading a book. "Hey Twilight," Rainbow said happily.

Her marefriend looked back up at her with a smile, happy to see that she was back. "Hi Rainbow. I've missed you," the alicorn said while getting up to give her marefriend a hug.

Rainbow just chuckled at how she missed her. "It's only been a couple of hours," Rainbow said while pulling away from the hug with a smile.

Twilight had a slight blush on her face. "I-I know, Rainbow. I've just felt lonely without you. I didn't realize that I've had so many feelings for you."

Rainbow came back with a hug and kissed her marefriend on the lips. "It's okay, Twilight. I know how you feel."

They stayed in each other's embrace before Rainbow spoke up again. "By the way, I got some pretty helpful advice from our friends. I'm sure they will be able to help you a lot to deal with your nightmares."

Twilight's attention went extreme. "Wow, really!? What did they say?"

Rainbow just chuckled at her friend's enthusiasm. "Meditate when you wake up and before you go to bed to help calm your mind."

Twilight thought it over for a moment before her smile came back. "That sounds like it would work. I think I'll start doing it before I go to bed today."

Rainbow just patted Twilight on the shoulder that she agreed so easily to do that.

"Is there anything else?" Twilight asked her marefriend. "Yes, but it's mostly advice for me. You'll know what I'm talking about soon," Rainbow said with a kind smile on her face.

Once the night started to arrive, Twilight and Rainbow got everything ready for when they went to bed. "Okay Twilight, are you ready to try meditating?"

Twilight looked up from her book and smiled. She closed her book and proceeded to start getting ready. "Sure."

Rainbow smiled and left the room right after she called back out to her marefriend. "I'll leave you alone for a while. Go ahead and call me back in when you're done so we can go back to bed together."

Twilight was now alone in the room all by herself. She sat down and closed her eyes, focusing on calming her mind down. By the end of her meditating session, she felt so much more relaxed at night than she had in the past after just a couple of minutes. She decided she was done and called Rainbow back in. "Rainbow, I'm done!" Her marefriend walked back in a few seconds later, smiling at how relaxed Twilight was.

"How do you feel?" Rainbow asked curiously, seeing if this actually would work.

"I'm so much more calm than I ever had been at night in the past."

"That's good," Rainbow smiled. "Let's get into bed now. I'm kind of tired. There was a lot of flying back and fourth today."

Twilight just gave a small chuckle. "I'm sure it was a lot of work. That's what I'm happy about. You're willing to do whatever it takes to help me. I really appreciate it, Rainbow." The pegasus pony gave her the alicorn another kiss on the lips before tucking them both into bed. Twilight snuggled her face into Rainbow chest and cuddled up for the night.

"Twilight, I'm going to relax you a little further now than our usual nights."

Twilight was just about to ask what she meant. That was when she felt the hoof her lover gently rubbing her back. She felt the other hoof gently rubbing her leg as well. She let out a small moan, as she had never felt anything as great as this. "T-Thank you Rainbow. Your hoof movements really do feel good."

Rainbow was happy that she was enjoying this. "You're welcome, Twilight. Now, let's get you to sleep. Hopefully, it will be like last night where you had no nightmares. Sleep tight." And with that being said, both mares drifted slowly off to sleep, leaving them both smiling as they held each other.

Chapter 5 - Thursday Three

Starlight woke up from her bed in Twilight's castle to the sight of the sun rising. She had a very restful sleep so she could better plan for today.

After laying in bed for a while longer, she finally got up to head to the bathroom. She took a shower and brushed her teeth before heading downstairs to start making herself breakfast. She decided to make some pancakes because it was pretty simple and wouldn't take too long. As soon as she plated her finished pancakes, she filled herself a glass of water to accompany it. She then sat down to enjoy her breakfast while thinking about how she was going to handle today.

Hopefully, Rainbow comes back soon with Twilight's approval to letting me use the machine. I really need Sunset to come over. Ever since that one time that we've met, it was an amazing experience. She was always a great pony to talk to whenever you needed help with something. I guess in the otherworld, they would be something else. What about Trixie? I need her to be here as well. Her past with Twilight wasn't a very pleasant experience, but I'm sure she would be perfectly fine helping Twilight since it's been years since that incident. Trixie and Twilight are good friends now after all.

Once Starlight got finished with her breakfast, she bought both finished items over to the sink. She then decided to go head to the front door and see if Rainbow would be near. She opened the door to look for a flying pegasus, but there was none to be seen.

After a few minutes of waiting, she went back inside and shut the door, letting out a sigh. Well, maybe she'll come later. It is still morning after all, and I know Rainbow isn't a morning pony.

She went back to her room and decided to leave the door open just incase she heard a knock.

She chose to rest some more and continued to make her plan. How should she start talking? When would be a good time? How would they handle this?

She let out another big sigh and waited for the pegasus to arrive with the good news, hopefully.

Rainbow Dash slowly woke up from a restful night of sleep, only to find that she wasn't holding anypony. She opened her eyes to find that she was the only pony in the bed. She looked around for her marefriend and saw that Twilight happened to be sitting on the floor next to her bed, meditating. Rainbow smiled at how eager she was to get up and start the meditating session. Rainbow just stayed silent and watched. She didn't want to interrupt her meditating session with the noise of getting up or talking.

Twilight then opened her eyes and started to move to get up. As she turned around, she saw Rainbow looking at her with a smiling face. "Hey, Twilight," Rainbow said when she was spotted.

Twilight smiled that her marefriend had just woken up. "Good morning, Rainbow. I just finished my meditation. I had no nightmares last night. I feel very calm right now. I had another really amazing sleep last night. I think the meditating helped."

Rainbow then remembered to ask Twilight if Starlight could use the portal. She had forgotten to ask her last night. "Well, I'm glad to be hearing that. By the way, Starlight wanted to ask me if she could use the portal in your castle. She said she wanted to call over a friend from the other world to help give more advice."

Twilight smiled at the request. More help? Of course she would allow it. "Sure thing. Starlight can use the portal whenever she wants, as long as nothing bad happens to it."

Rainbow quickly got up after hearing what she needed to hear. The sooner she gave this information to the unicorn, the faster everything will go. "Thanks, Twi. I'll go tell her right away. Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back," Rainbow finished with a wink towards her marefriend before heading out to tell the needed information.

Twilight was a little confused. Wait, what was the wink for? Twilight then brushed it aside, not thinking it was a huge deal and went to get some food and maybe get some reading done before her marefriend came back.

Starlight was still lying on her bed while reading one of Twilight's random books that she found in her library. As soon as she was about to close the book out of boredom, she heard several knocks coming from the front door. She quickly got up to walk over to the door and open it, seeing Rainbow. "Hi, Rainbow," Starlight happily said.

"Hey, Star. I asked Twilight this morning if you could use the portal and she said yes."

The news made Starlight happy. "Wow, that's great. Is there anything else?"

Rainbow just shook her head.

"Alright then. I'm going to go ahead and get started. Thanks for telling me, Rainbow."

The cyan pegasus just gave a thanks before taking off again. It was now time for Starlight to finally get started.

She had planned to call over Trixie first. Once she was here, she would write in Twilight's book to Sunset. If she was available to come over, great. If not, then it will just have to be either talking alone with Trixie, or talking with Sunset through the book. She really wasn't a fan of doing that.

Starlight headed out to Ponyville in search for her magician friend. After a while of searching, she found her ordering some cinnamon nuts. The memories of bottling up her anger weren't pleasant.

She walked up to her friend with a smile. "Hey, Trixie. Are you available today?"

Trixie looked back at the pony talking to her and smiled immediately upon a glance at her best friend. "Oh, Starlight! I didn't expect to see you looking for me. And yes, I am available today. What do you need me for?"

Starlight just chuckled a little at her friends enthusiasm. Trixie was definitely a different kind of pony than her other friends, but she loved her a lot. "It's something about Twilight. It's really important."

Trixie nodded with a smile. "Okay, Starlight. Let's go fix whatever problem Twilight might have and go on our way. It shouldn't be too difficult that the great and powerful Trixie can't do."

Starlight rolled her eyes sarcastically at her friend's words as they both started to walk back to the castle. "I'm sure you're going to have to put in a lot more effort than you might think. Trust me, Twilight is going to thank you."

Once they both got into the castle, they headed their way towards Twilight's room where Starlight found the book she needed. She picked it up with her magic and began to write on an empty page with a quill that she dipped in ink.

Dear Sunset Shimmer,

I am writing this message to you in need of extra help for our friend, Twilight, and really need some advice and help for her. She's been going through some hard times recently. I really hope you can make it. If not, that's okay. But if possible, please do so. It would really mean the world to Twilight.

Sincerely, Starlight Glimmer

As she closed the book, Trixie was curious as to was Starlight was doing and asked. "Um, Starlight? Why are you writing in a book? I thought we were going to discuss something about Twilight."

Starlight looked over to her friend and gave her a warm smile. "We are. Writing in this book allows communication to the other world that goes through this portal."

Trixie was now really confused by this point. "What do you mean the other world that goes through this portal? How can you communicate with this book?"

Starlight realized that she was going to have to a lot of explaining to do since Trixie has never seen this before.

"In the other world, they are different creatures. Going though that portal to their world changes your body entirely. Going through that portal to this world makes you a pony. The creature I'm trying to communicate to using this book is called, Sunset Shimmer. She's really good at giving advice. I'm calling her in to help us with Twilight."

Trixie seemed to get the idea. She was still a little confused since this was strange to her. Having two different worlds and two different creatures passing through the portal and changing your body shape was very strange.

"Well, okay Starlight. I'll take your word on it. I'll just have to see for myself when she comes through."

Starlight then saw the light from the book glowing and quickly opened it to the page that she saw was being written in.

Dear Starlight Glimmer,

I am very pleased that you asked me for help. I don't really have anything to do at the moment and would be honored to come over to give advice. Twilight has done a lot for both of us and the least we could do is help her out with whatever is going on. I'll be there in about four minutes. See you soon.

Sincerely, Sunset Shimmer

Starlight smiled to the fact that Sunset was actually able to come over. It looked like everything was going well from the start. Twilight okayed for her to use the portal. Her best friend was over to help Twilight and spend time with. Sunset was available to come over. This was nothing short of perfect.

A couple of minutes later after the two unicorns were having small talk, the portal in the room started to glow brightly, indicating that a pony was just about to come through. A few seconds later, a fiery-maned pony appeared through the portal standing on her hind hooves before falling over and landed on all fours. Starlight saw this and finally took the opportunity to greet the unicorn while Trixie was just staring in shock.

"Hey, Sunset!" Starlight said before running over to embrace the pony in a tight hug.

Sunset took the moment to get settled in. "Hello, Starlight. It's good to see you here. We haven't seen each other in a while, ever since that one time you came over," Sunset said as she returned the hug. Starlight's hug was a little tight, but she didn't mind.

As they stood there hugging for a bit, Sunset looked around the room and her eyes stumbled upon the shocked pony looking at her and smiled. "Oh, Starlight. Who's this?"

Starlight unwrapped herself from Sunset to turn back and see her looking at Trixie. "Oh, that's another one of my friends from this world. Her name is Trixie. I told her about you from the other world. She was shocked when I explained everything to her and it looks like she's still in shock just by seeing you."

Starlight smirked before leaning into Sunset and said with a whisper, "I've always knew you were an attractive pony."

Sunset's eyes went wide before smirking back to her friend and gave small whisper. "What can I say? I'm good at what I do. I think this Trixie might be similar to the Trixie in the other world. I can already see it right now from her face."

Both unicorns laughed it off before making their way towards the center of the library to greet Trixie.

"Hello there. Trixie, was it? I'm Sunset Shimmer." The fiery-pony held a hoof out for the blue shaded unicorn to shake.

Trixie snapped out of what she was doing and returned to what was happening right in front of her. She held out her hoof to accept the hoof shake. "Oh hello, Sunset. It's so nice to meet you. My friend, Starlight, over here has been telling me how amazing you are. But the real question is, are you better than the great and powerful Trixie?"

Trixie finished by raising her other hoof and throwing down one of her smoke bombs. The ponies ended up in a coughing fit for a few seconds before Starlight spoke again. "Don't worry, Sunset. Trixie tends to do that a lot. You'll get used to it."

Sunset just smiled lovingly back at her friend before remember why she came back to Equestria in the first place."Well anyways, you called me over to talk about Twilight?"

Starlight then got back into the mode. "Oh, that's right. We should get started right now. Let's go sit down at seats."

They soon made their way over to the seats in the library. After they each had one, Starlight started the serious conversation.

"Okay, so I bought both of you here to talk about something that's been going on with Twilight. I was walking by to the kitchen to grab a snack. As I was walking by the throne room, I heard a conversation going on with the five other ponies that were Twilight's closest friends. There wasn't much I heard before they got finished and started to walk out, but I heard Rainbow say that Twilight was having nightmares recently. Starting from Sunday, she was feeling down when Rainbow came over to talk to her. There were a lot of moments that she was crying and Rainbow had to be there. They were giving advice on how to calm her down and cope with this. I asked Rainbow if I could bring in some extra ponies to help talk about this with and she agreed. So this is where we are right now."

Hearing this made Trixie put on a sad face. "Well, that does does seem pretty serious," Trixie said softly with worry in her voice.

Sunset on the other hand had a completely different expression. Starlight noticed this and immediately got worried. "Um, Sunset? Is there something you'd like to tell us?"

Trixie looked over at Sunset as well and got just as scared at Starlight. Sunset was having the facial expression you would have when you know something is going to happen that is anything but good. She was in complete shock and couldn't think correctly. "I-I-I c-can't. No w-way."

This worried Trixie and Starlight to the bones. "Um, Sunset? What is it?" Sunset took off from her seat and started running out of the room while shouting at the two other unicorns. "I'll be back! I just need a second to absorb all of this information!"

As the door closed behind her, she stayed out in the hall for a few minutes to collect her thoughts and take deep breaths.

The two other unicorns the stared at each other in silence before Trixie spoke up with a worried expression. "What w-was that?"

The other unicorn just looked down and quietly responded. "I-I don't know. I think we should wait until she comes back before continuing." The blue unicorn just nodded in agreement and they both waited.

Meanwhile, Sunset was having racing thoughts.

Please don't say this is heading where I think it's heading. Started from last Sunday. Crying a lot. Having constant nightmares. No. This, this can't be happening. Please don't be real. I remember last time I went evil and almost took over Canterlot High. After those friends defeated me, I couldn't stop getting hate. I would always have nightmares, depression, and crying moments. I wanted t-to just die. Please don't say Twilight wants to die. Does, does she want t-to kill herself?

After thinking things over with the comparison of what she was having to what Twilight was having, this could only end badly if they did not quickly think of a plan to prevent it from happening.

She took one last deep breath before opening the door and heading back inside towards the two other ponies in the room. They stared at her with scared expressions while she sat down and looked up at them with a sad face. "Well, I think I've calmed down enough to start talking," she said in a Fluttershy-like voice.

Starlight and Trixie looked back at each other before deciding it would be best to move on. "So, do you have any tips on how we could help Twilight," said Starlight.

There was no response. The room was just dead silent. Trixie looked worried as she glanced her eyes back and fourth between Starlight and Sunset before calmly talking. "Um, Sunset? Are you okay?" Trixie asked with a lot of concern towards the mare that looked and seemed down. Sunset looked back at the magician and found it difficult to find the right words to say. "I-I don't know," Sunset sadly responded.

There were several minutes of silence. None of the unicorns knew how to get a conversation going as they were all staring at each other in shock. This is not what was expected when Sunset came over. Did she and Twilight have some sort of extreme connection with each other?

Starlight walked over to her sad friend and wrapped her hooves around her, pulling her in to hug her. Sunset just accepted it while not doing anything but lay her head down on her friend's shoulder. Starlight took this opportunity to whisper a few words into the mare's ears. "Sunset, what's going on?" Starlight asked with worry that her friend was more sad than happy since coming over.

Sunset tried to come up with something to say before whispering back. "I-I've known Twilight for a while now. I just can't stand to hear what you said she was going through?"

Trixie was feeling uneasy at the two unicorns and decided it would be best to leave them alone. "I'm going to go head to Twilight's room now. I'll leave you two alone," Trixie said before heading off.

Both unicorns just waved at the magician before continuing their talk. "What do you mean you can't stand to hear what I said she was going through?" Sunset just sighed and thought about talking through it slowly with her.

"In my past, I was an evil villain wanting to take over the world and then take over Equestria. After Twilight and her friend's in the other world defeated me, it left a bad image on me. I was getting talked about behind my back. I was being constantly talked bad about. I kept crying every day and night. I had nightmares about being bullied and dying." Explaining this made Sunset start to cry, but the next part made her cry harder.

"I even had a v-vision about killing myself. I took that vision and a-almost made it a r-reality. I woke u-up one morning. I-I took a k-knife and s-slit my t-throat. I failed at the suicide attempt and couldn't bring myself to slit my throat again. I lived on with a painful throat until it healed." At the end of Sunset's explanation, she calmed down completely.

The words being said almost made Starlight cry on the inside. She never knew how much backstory her friend had in the past that was similar to Twilight's present. "I'm so sorry to hear that, Sunset. So you actually might know what is going on with Twilight?" Sunset just sighed before giving a very quick response. "Yes."

Trixie stepped hoof in Twilight's room. She decided it would be nice to stay in here until they finished their conversation. After admiring all of the materials Twilight had, she headed towards the restroom. She cleaned her hooves and thought about ways she could help. What advice could I give that would really serve it's purpose? After all that Twilight and I have been through, I need to be there for her. It's the right thing to do.

After taking some time to wash her hooves and not being able to think of anything, she stepped back into Twilight's room. She sat on her bed and just looked around to try to get her brain thinking. This was when her eyes glanced upon the calendar with writing on it. She wanted to take a look out of curiosity, but tried to side against it since it was none of her business. After a few more seconds of trying to get her mind off of looking, she gave up. "Oh well. It's not like it will be that bad. A quick sneak peak wouldn't hurt, right?"

She got up from the bed and walked forward until she could see the words on the calendar very clearly. She read the two phrases that were written on the Sunday of this week and the Sunday of next week. The start of no more.

Her brain was in confusion. What does that mean? The start of no more what? Is it something that I should be worrying about?

Her eyes then moved on to the Sunday of next week. The time has come.

This left an even more confused Trixie. The time has come? What about time that came? Is something going to happen on that day? What do these two things mean? The start of no more. The time has come.

After taking some time to try to understand what these words meant, she brushed it aside. She went back to lay on Twilight's bed for a while longer to get her mind off of things.

A few minutes later, two other unicorns came into the room. Trixie heard the noises of two pair of hooves stepping inside the room and decided to ask them to see if they could find out what those words mean.

"Hey, do you two have any idea what those words on the calendar means?" She asked the pair of unicorns while pointing to the calendar.

They both looked over to it and approached it. Upon first glance, Sunset's face dropped again.

"No," Sunset very softly whispered to herself. Starlight looked over at her reaction. "What do you mean no?"

Sunset looked back at Starlight. "Read those words out loud to yourself."

Starlight looked back at the calendar and read. "The start of no more. The time has come."

Starlight had to think about what those words meant after she read them. Sunset waited patiently before talking again. "Do you know what this means? Do you have any ideas? I want to try to see if you have any ideas before I say what I think these words mean. Or worse, know what these words mean."

Starlight took a few extra seconds to think, but like Trixie, she couldn't figure it out. Sunset sighed that she couldn't come up with anything. It would've made it a lot easier if she had an idea, but now, she was going to have to explain what she thought these words meant. She would have to risk making these two ponies sad.

"These words," the two other unicorns gave their entire attention to Sunset. "These words might be the start of Twilight's final words," Sunset sadly said.

This scared both Trixie and Starlight. "What? What do you mean these might be the start of Twilight's final words?" Trixie asked nervously.

Sunset was going to have to just say it. "Okay, I'll make it simple for you two to understand. These are suicide words. The start of no more means that it's the beginning of when she is going to kill herself. The time has come is the day that she plans on killing herself. Does that make sense?" By the time she was finished explaining, the two mares looked devastated. Would Twilight really consider doing that?

"I'm so sorry, Sunset. I had no idea this was all happening," Starlight said brokenly.

"It's okay. I'm just glad you called me over before it was too late."

After a few more seconds of silence, Sunset wanted to find Twilight. She needed to know that there were ponies out there to help her.

"Do you know where Twilight is?" Sunset asked Starlight which nodded.

"She's over at Rainbow's house up in Cloudsdale. Only pegasi and alicorns can land on the clouds without falling through. You would have to use advanced magic to stay up without falling. It would probably be best if they came over here so we could talk to them." Sunset nodded. She just hoped it wouldn't be Sunday that Twilight would be coming over to end it.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I think I might just go ahead and get going. I'm going to let this all sink in when I sleep," Sunset said as she started to head towards the library with the portal.

"Okay. I hope to see you again soon," Starlight shouted.

Sunset gave a warm smile back. "Don't worry about it. I'll be back soon. Bye, Starlight and Trixie. It was nice meeting you." Trixie just waved her hoof a goodbye before the unicorn left the room and left Starlight and Trixie alone.

"Well, I'm going to bed. We have a long few days ahead of us and it's getting pretty late."

Trixie smiled at her friend. "Hey, is it okay if I sleep here tonight?"

Starlight smiled at the idea of sleeping over at the castle. "Sure. I don't think Twilight will mind. Where do you want to sleep?"

Trixie gave a small blush before responding. "Can I choose to sleep with you?" Trixie said almost in a voice like Fluttershy.

It was really an awkward request. This request also ended up making Starlight blush. "Um, why with me?"

Trixie didn't want to admit it, but she's always liked Starlight since the first day they encountered each other at the spa. Starlight started to pick up on where this was going. She liked Trixie but didn't really think that she would like her like the way she did. She ended up just finishing up the conversation. She wanted to get some sleep. "You can sleep with me. I don't mind cuddling up with cute ponies in bed with me," she said with a wink at the end.

"Well, in that case," the magician pony started as they both walked towards Starlight's room. "Why don't we do it then?" Trixie said with a smirk.

After a while of walking, they both brushed their teeth with new paste and brushes before heading off to sleep. And for the very first time, they both cuddled up in each other's embrace and drifted off into a blissful night of sleep.

Chapter 6 - Friday Fun

It was a bright morning when the two sleeping mares woke up in Twilight's castle in each other's embrace. Starlight wanted to get up, but Trixie wouldn't allow it. "Trixie, you got to let me let up so I can get some water."

Trixie just held onto Starlight even tighter like her life depended on it. "No, I want to stay here with you. This is too comfortable."

Starlight just rolled her eyes sarcastically. Trixie was going to be a fun one. She'd always found Trixie to be cute. Her whining was always a cute thing that she did, even though it sounded like a small filly not getting their way and throws a tantrum.

"Okay fine, but you're going to make breakfast when we get up."

Trixie just smiled. The unicorn was never a great cook, but the breakfast problem can be dealt with later. All that she cared about was being able to stay in bed a while longer with her new marefriend. Wow, they're actually a couple now.

Starlight had time to think as she was just lying there with Trixie not letting go of her. The thoughts of what Sunset explained to them yesterday was still on her mind. How could it leave her mind if it's something this serious? How could you just forget about suicide? We have to talk to Twilight about this. We must help her before it's too late.

She also remembered that Sunset should be coming back again. Maybe she'll talk talk to Twilight when all three of them are together. That will let her know how serious they're taking it.

Twilight woke up again before Rainbow Dash to start her meditating session. Those always seemed to pay off for her ever since she started doing them. She sat on the cloudy floor and began to do her meditation. After a couple of minutes, she got up and turned to see that her marefriend was still not up. She decided to go to the kitchen and get water. She was quite thirsty and decided to fill it to the rim and drink it all.

She then headed back to the room and snuck back into bed, this time with her hooves wrapped around Rainbow like she was her care taker. The pegasus then woke up to the feeling of hooves wrapped tightly around her body and with a head resting overtop her shoulder. She saw that it was her lover and just lied there and let it happen. There was no need to break this lovely moment.

After a few minutes of both ponies feeling relaxed, Rainbow shifted her body around so that she was face to face with Twilight. "Good morning, my baby. You must've had a great sleep by the looks of it."

Twilight was just smiling at the thought of how cute Rainbow was treating her. "I did, Rainy, and good morning to you too." Both mares cuddled up closely together to share the love they had for each other.

Rainbow had the perfect plan today to show the love she had for her marefriend. It was planned in the past with her friends to help set everything up. She would take Twilight out for a picnic in the lovely outdoors by the slow stream of river with the sun shining away in the beautiful clear blue sky. That would be the start. The rest of her plan would slowly come in until they went to bed together.

"Twilight, I planned a special surprise for you today to show my love for you and to make it a memorable day."

This made Twilight excited. "Oh!? What is it, Dashie? I've never had a surprise from you before," Twilight quickly blurted out before Rainbow put a hoof over her mouth and chuckled.

"Don't you know the definition of a surprise? You don't say to the pony you're trying to surprise, the surprise. It wouldn't be a surprise anymore."

This made Twilight blush at how foolish she was acting. "Well, when does it start?"

Rainbow kissed her on the lips before jumping off the bed to get ready. "Right now."

Twilight smiled and got up as well. She followed Rainbow Dash to the kitchen and saw a basket full of goods. The cyan pegasus picked it up and they headed outside to fly to the planned picnic spot.

Once they both arrived, Rainbow looked over to Twilight and saw her face in absolute glory. It was amazing to see her so surprised. She couldn't even find the right words to say at the moment. "Rainbow, I-I." Twilight was shushed by a hoof wrapping around her mouth and a whisper to her ear. "Just let it happen, Twi. This is the start of your very special day with me. Let's not waste a second of it," Rainbow finished with a three second kiss to her cheek. Twilight just blushed harder. Rainbow was being really romantic.

They both set up a few feet from the river stream and laid out down their blanket. Rainbow then put down the basket and opened it up. She took out two plates and set them down. She then took out some salad that was layered with sauce and seasoning. Twilight looked skeptical at the food but decided to try it. It seemed that Rainbow was catching on to what Twilight was thinking. "It looks strange huh?"

The purple mare just nodded and as soon as they both had their plates with food, they took a bite. Twilight's eyes went wide at the flavor. Her mouth felt like it was in heaven. "Rainbow, this is so amazing."

Rainbow smiled at the positive feedback. "I put a lot of work into it. I did some experimenting of which blend of sauce and seasoning would be best with each other. I tried many bad ones until I found this mix."

"Wow, you really put in a lot of effort for this? I thought this was just a quick thing you did for a picnic." Twilight was shocked that she actually did a lot of tasting until she found the perfect combination.

"Yeah, it took a while. But the important thing is that I'm sharing it with my one and only true love of my life right in front of me." Twilight smiled at how surprising the pegasus could be. Twilight had never thought Rainbow had this side to her.

After both ponies took some time to talk and eat, the pegasus was getting ready to start the next part of her surprise. She looked over to one specific area that she told Spitfire to hide behind to see if she was there, and she indeed was. Rainbow had planned with the Wonderbolts to give Twilight an amazing show while she came in at the finale to draw amazing love art in the air and give Twilight the best show she would ever see in her life. That would soon come after eating dessert.

"Ready for the dessert, Twilight?" The alicorn's ears perked in excitment. "Oh my gosh, you bought me dessert?"

"Yes, Twilight. Hopefully the dessert of your life," Rainbow excitedly responded. What she was really excited about though, was the Wonderbolt show that would soon happen. But for now, it was dessert time.

Rainbow lifted up the dessert that made Twilight's mouth water. A glass filled vanilla and chocolate ice cream sundae with caramel drizzling. The multicolored sprinkles were just a little add on Rainbow added along with two fresh cherries on top. She laid it down with a spoon for Twilight then got one for herself.

Twilight was beginning to cry but in a good way. Rainbow really went all the way with this surprise. "You, you did this for me?" Twilight softly whispered. Rainbow just smiled and nodded. "Thank you," Twilight again whispered.

"Don't thank me yet. You can thank me at the end of the day when you've seen all of your surprises." This caused Twilight to smile with tears of joy.

As they made more small talk while eating their sundae, Spitfire was just smiling to herself. "She sure does know how to make Twilight's heart melt," Spitfire whispered to the Wonderbolt group.

The two mares were soon getting close to finishing their sundae, and so Rainbow looked over to Spitfire and gave the signal, telling her to get the pegasus group in position for the start of their show. Rainbow and Twilight soon got done and it was now time to begin. "Okay, are you ready for the next part of your surprise? This one is sure to blow you away," Rainbow said excitedly.

This got Twilight all pumped up. "Are you kidding!? I've been ready ever since we've got here!" Rainbow was chuckling. She wished Twilight was like this all the time. "Okay then, sit tight. I'll be back soon."

Twilight couldn't stop moving. She was so excited about what Rainbow had planned for her next.

Rainbow went around behind the tree where Spitfire and Soarin were and it was time for the show to finally begin. "Now," she whispered as she was putting on her own Wonderbolt uniform that she prepared. Spitfire made sure that the entire group was looking at her. Once she saw that she had all eyes, she gave the signal. The Wonderbolt group took off while Rainbow was just about done getting each hoof inside.

The sudden sounds and sight of smoke in the air got Twilight's attention immediately and looked up to see the Wonderbolts starting their show. The Wonderbolts started with their basic flying formation. After a few minutes in, Rainbow loaded in some fireworks that were specially designed to resemble faces of ponies. She launched the first one at the moment the pegasus group made a large circle. Once the firework was in the middle of the group, it exploded and Twilight saw a love heart. This made Twilight hold a hoof over her mouth as she was about to start crying in joy of how well this was done.

Rainbow then launched two fireworks at the same time which exploded and showed both of their faces. If it was possible for Twilight's smile to get any bigger than it already is now, then she deserves a reward. Heck, her reward was happening right in front of her eyes.

It was now for the grand finale. Four of the Wonderbolts flew down to attach themselves to a banner. They flew back up and Twilight's eyes went wide at what she saw. The four pegasi flew the extremely large banner which showed them kissing each other. As they got to the center, all of the other ponies flew around it and flapped their wings to keep the banner lifted up.

It was finally the moment the cyan pegasus was waiting for. Rainbow then swooped in with a Rainbow-colored cloud trail and wrote, I LOVE YOU, in big bold letters above the banner. She then proceeded to draw half of a heart around the entire frame. She flew back down to the ground to now carry the Twilight-colored cloud trail that consisted of all of the colors Twilight had. She flew back up and wrote, TWILIGHT, under the banner. She then finished the other half of the heart with Twilight's color trail. After the entire image was set, Rainbow flew back down to grab the camera that was with all of the other gear. She landed next to Twilight and took a picture of the art she made to keep forever.

Rainbow gave the alicorn a few seconds to let this all sink in. She was then grabbed by her marefriend's hooves to get pulled into a hug. The pegasus hugged back and stayed like that for a few minutes, letting Twilight have her moment.

After everything was slowly dying away, the flight group decided that it was finished and set hoof back on ground to get everything packed up and ready to go. Twilight was full on crying out of pure happiness and couldn't contain herself. Rainbow just stroked her marefriend's mane slowly as the other Wonderbolts let out an "aww" at the sight of the cute couple. The Wonderbolts soon left to let the two mares have their own personal time together.

A few minutes after they left, Twilight unlatched herself from Rainbow and wiped away the tears. "Rainbow, this was the best surprise I've ever had in my life. Thank you so much."

Rainbow was happy to see Twilight so emotional in a good way. "Aw, don't mention it, Twi. Now, why don't we pack up and head back home?" Twilight nodded as she finally wiped the last fear tears she had.

Rainbow took off her uniform and they both packed everything up and headed back home. She definitely would remember this for the rest of her life. Going back to the house, Rainbow had one more surprise for her. She wrote an eight stanza poem that was sure to make her lover smile nonstop. The plan was to wait until the sun was setting before giving the poem to Twilight and letting her read it. If everything went according to plan, Twilight would be crying out of true love by the end of it.

Back at Twilight's castle were the three ponies once again. Trixie, Starlight, and Sunset were again in Twilight's room. Sunset came back to Equestria to try again.

"Starlight, Trixie, you two know we can't just know about this and do nothing, right? She could literally kill herself any minute!" Sunset was getting all worked up. She really wanted to have a plan ready right now. She feared the worst was going to happen when it turned Sunday.

"Well, what about if we tell her friends?" Starlight nervously said.

Sunset thought for a moment. "Didn't you say that they already knew?"

"Not the part about Twilight wanting to kill herself or what she put on the calendar. They only know what Rainbow told them, which was about her being stressed and needing advice to calm her down. I don't know if she's seen her calendar yet," Starlight truthfully explained.

Sunset was going to handle this, right here, right now. "Okay, I like that idea. We have no time to lose. We need to get all of her friends here now."

"But Rainbow Dash is with Twilight, spending the day together because of her surprises she planned out. We were told to not disturb. We can only bring the other four," Starlight quickly blurted out.

Sunset wasn't happy about that. Rainbow Dash needed to know this critical information, but she could wait just one more day. Maybe the other four ponies will tell Rainbow.

"Fine, but she's going to have to know about this at some point. We can't hide this information from her. Who knows what could happen. If Twilight all of a sudden does what we all hope she doesn't do, next thing you know will be Rainbow staying in her house crying her eyes out nonstop for the rest of her life."

Starlight and Trixie seemed to get the message. Starlight teleported to where her friends would be and told them to meet at Twilight's room in her castle as quickly as they could.

It was soon a little passed eight when Rainbow would get things started with Twilight for the last surprise of the day. As they were cuddling up together to watch the sunset, Rainbow started with a kiss on her lover's cheek. "Twilight, it's time for your last surprise."

Twilight looked over to Rainbow happily. "When is it?"

"Now," the pegasus replied as she leaned over and pulled out a paper from her drawer which had the poem written on it and handed it over to Twilight. "I made a special something for you to read out loud Twilight. Please consider it something to keep as a reminder of your marefriend loving you as much as she can."

Rainbow could already see tears starting to flow out of Twilight's eyes. Looks like she made her produce tears of joy without even starting to read it.

Twilight looked at the cover of the paper. It was of her with her friends having a good time. She smiled as she opened it and started reading out loud as Rainbow rested her head on Twilight's shoulder and followed along with her reading.

There is a meaning of love,
That is found within the world you're in,
But your one marefriend who gives you a hug,
Can help you see your world spin,

Upon the light of day,
That shines brightly in the sky,
You can always find a way,
To go to where you can see up high,

It may be hard to overcome your fears,
But don't be weak and let it overcome you,
If the ending does draw near,
There will be nothing much you can do,

Only you're closest friends,
Can help you through life,
But if your friendship does end,
It's like getting stabbed by a knife,

The only ponies you need,
Are the one's you most trust,
They will let you be free,
Under the times you want to fuss,

When life in the future comes,
Our hearts beat together,
Almost like two beating drums,
Mine will play for you forever,

Life can sometimes be tough,
But you have to push through it,
The end result might be rough,
But you'll feel better in a bit,

I want you to know something,
You are the mare I can call heartful,
And I am so glad that we became a thing,
Because the mare I love the most in Equestria, is you, Twilight Sparkle.

Having read all of that, Twilight heart felt so warm. It's amazing how words put together can make such a huge impact on a pony. Twilight was expecting something that would make her emotional from Rainbow Dash, but she didn't think that it would be this much. This was on an entirely different level. She couldn't hold her tears back. She didn't even try to.

Rainbow pulled Twilight into a loving embrace with Twilight's face in her chest. They stayed like that for quite sometime while not saying a word. The crying mare just let it all out as Rainbow tried to just be there for her. She knew her poem would mean a lot to Twilight. She knew she would cry as a result to this, but it would definitely be worth it. The beautiful mare deserved more of this kind of thing.

A few minutes passed and they settled down for the night. All of the alicorn's tears were now done and both mares were ready to go to sleep. After taking some more time to eat and clean everything up, they snuggled back into bed. They did talk a little bit before falling asleep. How could you not have a conversation about what just happened after it had happened.

"Rainbow, since when were you so good at writing poems?" Twilight was shocked to know that Rainbow would possess that kind of skill. It was really unexpected for a pony such as Rainbow to know how to do that sort of thing.

"I used to be good at writing poems back in school. It was the one thing I was actually decent at when it came to academics," Rainbow replied with a satisfied grin. "I really just wanted to take my skill and turn it into something that could change something. I think it worked out well."

Twilight just smiled. "I'm definitely going to keep your poem. I will remember it forever. I will remember everything you've done for me this day. I'm so proud to call you my marefriend."

"I'm just glad the marefriend I have is beautiful and smart. I would never give you away for anything, Twi."

After they did a little more talking, it was time to drift off to sleep. Everything today seemed to work out perfectly. It seems that nothing could ruin it. Twilight and Rainbow spent the entire day together. It all started from a picnic, to a Wonderbolt show, to watching the sunset together, and to the poem. Nothing could break this lovely moment of feeling, but perhaps, anything is still possible.

A spark of magic appeared in the middle of Twilight's room as Starlight came back. "Alright, I called our friends over. They should be here soon. So, what's the plan?"

Sunset was a quick pony to respond since she had already planned it out. "We tell them about what Twilight wrote on her calendar. There's no reason she would put those words on her calendar if she's not planning on doing it. Even if we might be wrong and those words might mean something else, I'm not going to take that risk."

As she finished up telling her plan, the four ponies came rushing in. "What's going on? Is there another important meeting happening? Is it about Twilight?" The farm mare nervously asked.

The four pair of eyes landed on Sunset in shock. They haven't seen her ever since she stole Twilight's crown. They did remember that everything was fixed and she got reformed, so they didn't think much of it. "Oh, hi Sunset. I don't think we were expecting you to be here," Fluttershy suddenly said.

"Hello. I know you haven't seen me in a while, but now is not the time to talk about me. It's about Twilight. Starlight has reached to all of you to come in because there is a serious topic that needs to be addressed," Sunset said sternly.

The ponies all looked at each other and were both scared and nervous. Sunset talking this seriously must mean there's only one way to handle this situation, seriously.

"If there are no questions, I would like to start talking," Sunset said in the same tone.

She looked around the room to the other ponies, waiting patiently to see if there was any questions. After a few seconds of silence, she continued.

"I don't know if you ponies have seen or noticed Twilight's calendar yet, but I would like the four of you to take a look at the two things that are written on it."

Sunset levitated over the calendar hanging from the wall and held it up with her magic for the four ponies to see. They all had very similar reactions: eyes wide, faces in horror, and bodies not moving. It looked like they got the message in an instant.

"Do you girls know what these words mean?"

"You don't think Twilight is actually going to go through with it, do you?" Fluttershy asked in a state about to cry. Luckily, Pinkie was right next to her and held her to try to comfort her.

Sunset gave a huge sigh. She didn't know the answer. "We just need to hope for the best. This is something Rainbow Dash needs to know about."

"Then why isn't she here, darling? We all know that today is supposed to be her and Twilight's day to spend together without disturbance, but this is urgent," exclaimed Rarity.

Sunset and Starlight just looked at each other, not knowing what to say. "Well, we could plan on telling her tomorrow," said Starlight.

An sudden idea popped up into Sunset's mind. "What if we wait until around four or five tomorrow morning? They will both be asleep by then and we can wake Rainbow up to have her come here without disturbing Twilight. We will then be able to tell her."

The ponies all looked in amazement. That sounded like it would be a great idea. Trixie was also amazed by this idea and even leaned over to whisper into Starlight's ear. "Wow, Starlight, your friend here is something special." Starlight whispered back. "Yeah, she's great. I knew she would be a great help."

"Well, now that you all know, I think you can go. I'm going to stay here with Trixie and Starlight and talk for a little while longer."

The four good friends all nodded and left with the important information. As soon as they left, Sunset looked over at Starlight. "You think you are able to get Rainbow Dash at around four or five?"

The unicorn smirked. "Of course. I can levitate myself up to where I need to be. I can also cast a spell that allows earth ponies and unicorns to walk on clouds. I think I'll be fine."

For the first time after being here, Sunset let a smile form around her face. Starlight was really useful when it came to things. Trixie, though, wasn't too much of a help. It was nice to have a little extra company, though.

Chapter 7 - Saturday Slut

It was around five in the morning when Starlight found her way to Rainbow's house using the levitation spell to fly up and the cloud spell to be able to step hoof on it. She headed over to a window and found the two mares she was looking for. Well, one in specific. She made her way through the window and approached the sleeping pegasus. She tapped lightly on her shoulder to try to wake her up. It seemed to move her a little. The unicorn kept tapping until the pegasus turned and opened her eyes in shock. She was caught off guard by Starlight standing over her.

"Whoa, Starlight!?" Rainbow whispered in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

The unicorn tried to talk soft enough to not awake the alicorn but loud enough so Rainbow could still hear. "I need you to come with me to Twilight's castle. We have something extremely important to tell you regarding Twilight."

"Is it something I should be scared of?" Rainbow whispered back, not really knowing what to do.

"Twilight's life is on the line if that answers your question."

Rainbow's eyes went up hearing that. It couldn't be that serious that Twilight's life would be on the line. She had no choice but to go with Starlight. "Alright, let's go."

Rainbow slowly got out of her bed and left Twilight alone. Hopefully, they would be done and she would be able to get back to Twilight before she woke up.

Once they made their way outside, Starlight teleported them to Twilight's room. There were the three ponies plus Rainbow in total. Upon looking in the room, Rainbow spotted Sunset. "Oh, hey, Sunset. I haven't seen you in a while."

"Hello, Rainbow. It's nice to see you again. It has been a while, but we need to focus on Twilight now. The small talk can happen at a different time."

"What's the big issue about?" Rainbow wasn't sure what was going on and needed a little bit of an idea. This question also seemed to start the mood as Sunset levitated over the calendar again.

"I'm going to show you Twilight's calendar. We do not think any other pony wrote the words you are about to see. Please read these words out loud and say what you think these words might mean."

Rainbow looked at the two phrases written down and read. "The start of no more. "The time has come."

Rainbow took some time to process this but wasn't sure if her thoughts were correct. Surely they were wrong. Twilight wouldn't do such things. She took a closer look at where on the calendar these were written. Last Sunday, and this upcoming Sunday. Her face went from scared to horrified. This upcoming Sunday was tomorrow. There was absolutely no way Twilight would be doing it tomorrow.

"Do you get the message?" Starlight nervously asked.

Rainbow was starting to breathe heavily. Tears started forming in her eyes. "Please, no. Twilight wouldn't do that, I know her." Rainbow was almost about to have a meltdown.

Sunset put the calendar back in its place before moving next to Rainbow. She wrapped her hooves around her to try and calm her. "Rainbow, I know this is hard to take in. That's why we're telling you this now. If we didn't tell you this and Twilight does end up doing it, then that would leave everypony feeling defeated. But most importantly, it would leave you devastated."

Rainbow didn't say anything to what Sunset had said. She just took in everything she heard from the mare and continued crying. The three other mares looked at each other with sad expressions. After about a couple of hearing nothing other than Rainbow's heavy crying, Starlight spoke up. "Rainbow, we're planning on helping Twilight. We know you want to help her too. Maybe she forgot about it since your day yesterday. It looked like she was sleeping well when I came to get you. Is she feeling better? Are the tips you received from our friends helping her."

Rainbow took a moment to stop her crying. She needed to try to talk to the ponies that would help her. They needed to help the one mare she would put her life on. Towards the end of her crying, she took a couple of deep breathes. That always seemed to help.

"I think she's okay now. She hasn't been having anymore nightmares recently. Maybe the tips did help. I try my best to be there for her as much as I can. I even gave her the best time of her life yesterday. I just really hope all of this is forgotten and maybe she wouldn't think of doing this."

Sunset continued to hold the sad pony and even laid her head on her shoulder while replying. "Don't worry, Rainbow. We're going to talk to Twilight about it. We want you to come with us."

Rainbow looked up confidently from the floor. "I will be more than happy to try to help the best I can. Twilight mustn't die. She has so much more to live for. I can't let her die."

"Then lets start going over the plan," replied a serious Starlight.

Twilight was peacefully sleeping until she was suddenly in Tartarus again. "Oh no, not again. Please, don't do this to me."

While she noticed that she was alone in a room, she took the time to examine her surroundings. There was a table with straps in the middle, no doors, and a rack with a bunch of different objects on it. There were axes, swords, and blades. The others included things like floggers, whips, blindfolds, gags, and collars. She almost felt disgusted looking at these objects. She then remembered the thought about what she heard from the ponies talking. They wanted to break her physically by torturing her and mentally by sexual standards.

She started to breathe heavily. There was no way to escape. These ponies wouldn't have any mercy on her. She had made them mad by not doing what they told her to do. There was only one way this could end, horribly.

There was a sudden noise that caught her attention and made her turn around. She saw the four ponies that were always in her nightmares, always following her. They were all in front of her and staring her down. The alicorn tried to back up, but she was soon backed against a wall with nowhere else to turn. The four ponies approached her at a pretty slow pace, all grinning evilly as they did.

"Please, why am I here again? I thought we moved on. I thought everything would go back to normal," the scared mare nervously spoke.

The devilish ponies were now close enough to be able to touch and grab a hold of her. Two of them went to either side of her and grabbed her roughly. She was dragged with ease over to the table with straps. The alicorn tried to wiggle herself free, but to no avail.

"Please, don't hurt me. I just want to live a happy life. Just let me go. I'm begging you," the alicorn softly spoke as she started to cry. She soon gave up on her efforts to escape. There was no point in trying. Where would she even go after she got out of the two pair of grips?

As she was continued to be dragged, a pony spoke with no concern. "Hear us out, Twilight. You're going to enjoy this moment. You just got to give us a chance."

"What are you going to do to me?" Twilight had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen to her, but she wanted to just make sure so that she could prepare.

"We're going to break you. I also take back what I said earlier about you liking this. The physical part of your breakage comes first. That's the part you might not like. However, I'm sure you'll enjoy the second half of your breakage, the part where we will break you mentally. It's going to be fun for all of us, as you can see from the rack full of different types of equipment."

There was now silence after the pony finished talking. Twilight was placed on the table and strapped down with each hoof spread to each corner. She didn't even try to fight it. She just silently cried to herself as this was all happening.

At one moment after being strapped down, the alicorn opened her eyes and saw a glimmer of hope. She saw one of the devilish ponies have a look of concern when he was looking at her. The look that was on his face almost looked like he felt heartbroken for her. It looked like he didn't want to do anything to her.

"All right, lets get this show on the road," said one of the ponies who strapped her in.

All of the ponies went to the rack to grab an object that would be used to torture the poor mare. All, but one. The look of concern on the one pony's face was now noticeable to everypony in the room if it wasn't before. He was soon snapped out of his thoughts when the lead pony spoke harshly to him. "Hey, you! Go grab something, now!"

The pony took off towards the rack, giving another look of concern to Twilight as he did so. The alicorn mare didn't know what was happening. Was he truly feeling sorry for her? Did he change? Is he regretting hurting her? Did he start to have feelings for her?

She saw the concerned pony grab a sword off the rack. Twilight wanted to shrink into her body. She was really going to have a hard time right now. All of a sudden, Twilight felt like her heart stopped. The moment the lead pony started talking, she knew that it was time.

"Who wants to go first?"

Two other ponies raised their hoof in anticipation. They were both eager to send harm's way to the helpless pony. "All right, you can go first," he said as he pointed to one of them. "You can go next." He pointed to the other pony.

The first pony stepped up first. His choice of weapon was an axe by the looks of it. Twilight shut her eyes as she got ready for the painful blow to her body. She started to whimper quietly. Her whimper soon led to a scream in the worst pain she'd ever felt. "AHHHHH!"

She opened her teary eyes a few seconds later to see that blood was all over the place. Blood was also coming out of her right forehoof. She could see that her hoof was chopped into and detached from her body. Twilight was about to pass out by the look of it.

The lead pony used his magic to slowly heal Twilight's hoof. That didn't do much to help the pain though. She could see her hoof healing, but the pain was still as bad as ever. Twilight didn't get to rest too much before she heard the hoof steps of the second pony coming up. She saw him raise his axe and didn't even get time to close her eyes and prepare before the axe swung down and chopped her entire right shoulder.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

Twilight didn't even want to look. She couldn't bare to stand the visual pain of the last one. Magic was healing her arm again after the cut. At the same time, the third pony stepped up, which happened to be the lead pony himself. He calmly talked to the mare, but that would do nothing to calm her down. "Oh my, you poor thing. I almost feel bad for doing this." Twilight's ears perked up. Did he say that he was starting to feel bad for hurting her?

"Blood is getting everywhere. I'm not in the mood to clean all of this up." The mare's ears went back down. Of course he wasn't talking about him feeling sad about hurting her. He was just teasing her.

The devilish pony gave a nightmarish smirk as he lifted up a chef knife. For Twilight, this scared her the most. The tip of the knife was placed on the bottom of her right hind hoof. It suddenly was forced down with all of the pony's might. Twilight let out a scream again. The knife went through her hoof and came out the other side. The devilish pony kept the knife there and began slicing up until he reached her knee. The screaming was happening constantly during the whole session.

The knife was pulled out and put back on the rack, along with the other two axes. The three ponies now looked at the one pony who didn't have his chance yet. He looked terrified at this act. Sure, he was a part of the devilish group, but things started to change on him. He never did get the answer. Why was it always her? Why must harsh things be done to this one poor mare? Sure, he was told that her life was meaningless, but did that really mean she deserved this kind of treatment?

The leader shot him a stern glare right into his eyes and stomped his hoof twice. This alerted the concerned pony and got him to move forward with his sword. He quickly stepped up on the side of Twilight and quickly sliced her hoof. He just wanted to get this over with. He didn't want to see anymore of this pain on the poor mare.

They were all met with another agonizing scream from the helpless pony. The leader healed up her hoof again and put the sword back. Twilight was still on the table, panting heavily. Tears were all over her face. Blood was everywhere around the room. That was only the physical torture, though. Now comes the time for the most fun part, the sexual torture. The torture that would break her mentally, as if the physical torture wasn't enough.

Two ponies came to undo the straps that held Twilight down. They flipped her onto her stomach with ease since the mare didn't fight back. Her hooves were strapped back in place again. The four ponies circled around Twilight with one each being at the sides, behind, and the lead pony in front.

The pony in front of Twilight moved his lips close to Twilight's ear to whisper what was going to happen to her. "Don't you worry your little head one bit. It's going to be the best thing you've ever experienced in your life. It's going to feel so good that you're not going to want to go back. But before we begin the fun, I have something to show you. You might recognize this."

He backed up a little and made something appear using his magic. He levitated it so that it was right in front of Twilight's eyes. She looked down on it and her eyes went wide. It was a version of Twilight's calendar. It looked exactly the same as the one in her room. She saw the two phrases she wrote on two of the Sundays. The flashbacks she had reminded her that she was actually planning on suicide. She had completely forgotten about that ever since a few days after her nightmares were gone and she was having the time of her life with her new marefriend.

"Why are you showing me this?" Twilight softly asked.

"You wrote this down. You wrote the start of no more on the Sunday of this week. You also wrote the time has come on the Sunday of next week."

The calendar disappeared as he leaned on the table with his eyes looking directly into the alicorn's own eyes, just a few inches away. "You are the most responsible mare in Equestria. You will follow through with what you wrote down, right?"

The alicorn just stared, not knowing what to say. Was she actually going to kill herself, to end her life for good? How would her friends feel? More importantly, how would Rainbow Dash feel?

"No matter," the mare was snapped out of her thoughts as the pony continued to speak. "I will show you a good time. We will all show you the best time of your life. You don't need your little Dashie to show you a good time. Don't ask how we know you're with Rainbow Dash. You don't need to know that. You just need to know the amazing feeling of feeling good. You can trust us. We will make you feel safe. We will care for you. Just don't resist and everything will work out just perfectly."

Just as he was finishing up his talk, he used his magic to make four black permanent sharpies. Each of the four ponies took a hold of one and undid the cap. Twilight had no idea what was going on. What were they going to do with sharpies? But it turned out that she didn't need to think long since the pony in front of her started talking again.

"You may be wondering what we are going to do with these sharpies. We are going to degrade you. We are going to write very degrading things all over your body. You are going to enjoy every second of these sharpies writing on your skin. We are going to turn you into our pet. You will become our plaything. Sadly, this is only temporally, as this is only a nightmare. You could make this last forever. All you have to do when we let you go back, is to kill yourself. That's all you have to do. Do that, then you can stay here with us. The five of us will have the greatest time. We will make you feel so good. How does that sound?"

Twilight was too shocked to say anything. They were going to use her, write on her, and turn her into their pet? That was just not right.

"No answer? I guess we shall just begin. Go ahead boys, start writing."

After some writing started to happen, the leader just couldn't help but want to show the mare the amazing art at the end. "Don't you worry, Twilight Sparkle. When we're done, we'll show you all the new improvements we've made to your body. It will just blow you away. You're body will look so hot that none of us will be able to resist touching you first."

Twilight just let out a whimper. Degrading words were being drawn on her body. She would be below them, as if she wasn't already below them before. Her body would not only be different shades of purple, but a lot of black added to it. She would look like a mess at the end of this. She didn't want to say it, but she would also look like a slut too.

The alicorn just laid there, motionless. She didn't bother moving as it would just irritated them and she didn't want that. She could feel her whole body being written on. They started with her hooves, then moved onto her back, wings, neck, then the lead pony began writing on her face. The sharpie moved to her forehead, cheeks, chin, then around her mouth.

After they were out of room to work with, The unicorns undid the straps and turned her back over so that she was lying on her back. The straps were once again strapped tightly around Twilight's hooves. They continued to now write on the front half of her body.

After they took a few minutes to finish up, they all stood back and admired their work. Twilight noticed that the pony that was concerned before, didn't look that concerned right now. Maybe he just didn't want to hurt her. Maybe he only wanted to give her sexual pleasure, not pure pain.

"This looks so god damn hot. Man, you guys really made art on her," said the enthusiastic leader.

The four ponies all smirked at their piece of art. Twilight still laid there motionless, letting her body get examined by her enemies. She felt hopeless, helpless, and useless. She didn't care about anything at this point. Her body was theirs to enjoy. Twilight finally gave up.

"I feel a little bit bad that we are keep this to ourselves. I want the sweet pony to get a look at the piece of art too."

The lead pony used magic to move over a full size pony mirror that was about six foot tall and three foot wide and placed it beside Twilight. Once that was set in place, he used his magic to lift the table and stand it right in front of the mirror, letting Twilight see all of the degrading words on her body. She started on her hind legs. She saw words like slut, whore, cock lover, cum addict, crazy slut, anal slut, sloppy mare, and stupid cunt. They kept going up until she reached her face. She then saw words like I love cock, grateful slut, and cum lover. She also noticed that the words w, h, r, and e, were written between her lips. She soon found out that her mouth was supposed to resemble the o.

After taking the extra time to look herself over again, she couldn't help but feel a bit aroused by the feeling. She couldn't help herself. It was just too much. She actually started to love the feeling, which Twilight hated and didn't want to admit. Her arousal did not go unnoticed and was now being spoken of.

"Look at that. Our little slut is getting horny by the piece of art. Looks like we're not the only ones."

They all chuckled together. Their precious pet was getting horny by looking at herself with a bunch of words that degraded her.

The table was set back down and the mirror was pushed away. The straps were undone and Twilight got lifted off from the table and set on the floor. All four devilish ponies came up to her after she was set down and surrounded her. They all stood up on their hindlegs which entirely exposed their front bodies. What Twilight saw next completely changed her thoughts about wanting to be here or not. Four massive black horse cocks were near inches away from her face, all fully erect and throbbing. They all looked to be at least two feet long and three inches in diameter. Their balls looked about five inches in diameter. That must mean she was going to be in for a rough one.

She couldn't help but lick her lips a little. Was she actually going to be the slut they wanted her to be? Was she really going to service their cocks right then and now?

Smirking, the lead pony continued. "Alright pet, why don't you show us what you got? If you are able to please all of us, we will reward you with greater pleasure. It will make you want to stay here for eternity and service us. We would be more than glad to keep you as our pet and slave."

Twilight submitted and dove into the first cock that was right in front of her face. She knew she was a lesbian and had Rainbow Dash as a marefriend, but she didn't care anymore. Upon inserting the first few inches into her mouth, she could already taste the precum coming off of it. It tasted so pleasant, so lovely, and definitely addicting. What Twilight didn't know however, was that each of their cum acted like an aphrodisiac. This would keep the party going for as long as they wanted and Twilight would be able to do nothing but keep drinking it.

The mare started bobbing her head up and down the shaft, taking in a little bit more when coming on the way down. After about a minute of constant sucking, her throat expanded to the point where she got about half of it down her throat. She hoped to be able to take it all in her throat at some point. She wanted to go as far down as she could before moving onto the next cock. She shoved the piece of meat down her throat until it was about a little over half way down. Just as she was doing this, she heard heavy breathing from above her. The pony was clearly enjoying this lovely moment of what Twilight was doing to his addicting cock.

Twilight kept gagging until she couldn't hold it anymore and came up for air. There was so much spit around her mouth and on the cock. She put her right hoof up to grab a hold of it and started stroking it all the way down and back up, making sure to rub the spit everywhere on her tasty love stick.

Twilight moved onto another cock to her left. She used some of the remaining spit in her mouth and spat all over the nice fleshy meat. After it was coated in what Twilight thought was enough, she took it straight down. She didn't feel like working her way slowly.

As she was getting into it, her tongue tasted the familiar liquid. It was the precum of the second pony she was servicing. It tasted a little bit different, almost like it was sweeter. Twilight came to enjoy the taste as she tried to suck up even more of her treat. She sucked so hard at one point that the pony above her gave a loud moan. The pleasure he was receiving was definitely and intense one. He stroked the pet's mane as she continued to bob her head.

Twilight decided that now would be a good time to move onto the next one in line. She didn't want to keep them waiting for too long. They each needed to have a chance at getting the wonderful feeling of their slave's mouth.

She shoved her head all the way down until she reached the point she had gotten to on the previous cock. She was determined to go even further. With an extra effort to try and accomplish that, she did just that. It was about three inches extra, but to her and the stallion, that was a lot. She was distracted by the huge horse cock shoved down her throat, that she didn't even notice the two stallions above her whispering to each other.

She lifted herself back up and just as she was about to move on again, she was stopped. She was lifted up by the two stallions she had sucked off. They both grabbed her by the forehooves and moved her over to the table. They put her back on it but didn't do the straps. The two ponies used their magic to decrease the size of the table until her hind legs and head were hanging off from both sides of the table. They also removed the four straps from each corner of the table.

After the table was set in place for good use, they used their magic again to make a huge link of chain come up from the ground. Twilight saw this and was impressed that they could just bring anything from anywhere.

Attached to the chain was a cuff that would be big enough for secure Twilight's hoof in it. Her right hind hoof was moved in front of her head and a little over to the right. It was strongly secured in the thick piece of the metal. The same shortly happened to her left hind hoof as it was strongly secured by the second piece of metal. Both of Twilight's hind hooves were now above her head and over each side. This still left her head hanging over the table but now because of her new addition, both of her other holes were now completely exposed.

One of the ponies who didn't yet get his cock sucked, moved to face in front of Twilight. He lifted himself on his hindlegs and placed his cock right on her face. Twilight breathed in the strong musky scent through her mouth and nose. Her own body started to take over as her mind was getting filled with the addictive scent. The mare stuck her tongue out to try to taste it. The stallion wanted a little more than for her to just taste it. He shoved as much as he could into her mouth without going down her throat. He wanted to make sure his cock was nice and wet before giving her throat the pounding of its life.

As the two ponies were minding their business, the two other magic-using ponies created even more chains. They made just two cuffs alone that attached to both sides of the table. Twilight's right forehoof was moved down onto the table and was locked firmly in place, just like her hind hooves. The same was soon done for her left. All of the mare's hooves were now locked in place. Her hind legs being where they were prevented them from being in the way and closing her other two holes, giving the stallions complete access to her sex holes. Her forehooves being where they were prevented her from doing anything with them and left them useless.

"Okay, you can go ahead and start having fun with her holes. I'm going to go to the rack and find some things to enhance our slave," one of the magic using ponies said to the other. The pony left the other to start pounding away while he went in search for items to use. Along the rack were blindfolds, collars, gags, more chains, and a full bottle of liquid with pure aphrodisiac. He didn't need to think twice to know which ones to pick. He picked up the blindfold, collar, and the bottle, before going back to the group.

There was still another stallion left who didn't have a chance to get his cock sucked. He quickly stepped to the side of the mare's face to await his turn after the stallion currently using her. He would get prepared in the meantime. He slid his cock under the stallion's who was currently plowing her mouth. He collected as much spit as he could running down her face so he could get ready to start his turn of using her mouth. He also shoved his musky scent right into their slave's nose. The mare noticed immediately and started getting even more aroused. She started to squirm on the table until the stallion pulled out of her.

Twilight needed more cock and quickly spoke up as soon at the warm meat left her mouth. "Please, fuck my throat. I can't wait any longer. I need your cock to go down my throat. I want to train to be able to take the entirety of all of your cocks. Please make me your toy, your sex object. I don't want to go back anymore. I want to stay here with you four so I can get roughly pounded by your huge horse cocks."

The stallion coming back with the two items put on a smirk upon hearing those words. He got up to the mare and put the blindfold around her eyes, making her lose her sight completely. Twilight not being able to see made her even more horny. She didn't need her eyes after all. The only three things she needed to provide to the stallions were her three warm holes that were perfectly fit for cock.

The collar was the next thing to be attached. It fitted the mare perfectly with the words ",Tartarus Slut," written on it. Twilight seemed to like the collar around her neck since there was a smile that appeared on her face.

After the blindfold and collar were set in place, the pony started to talk again to prepare Twilight for the fun. "I can see that you're a needy little mare. You're such a bad girl. We'll give you what you want because we know that what you have right now isn't enough. I have a bottle of liquid levitated over your face right now. I'm not going to tell you what's in the liquid because that would just ruin the surprise. I want you to drink all of it. If you can do that, then this is going to be a lot more fun for you and for us. Do you understand?"

Twilight didn't need to be told twice before replying back, "yes master."

This took all four ponies by surprise. They each smirked right after. They have completely got what they wanted. "I see you're a quick learner. That's what good girls do. Anyways, I'm going to pour the bottle in your mouth right now. Open up, slut."

Twilight opened her mouth all the way to prepare drinking whatever they gave her. The bottle was tilted to start the flow of liquid. The alicorn drank all of it up, not wasting a single drop. She kept drinking until every drop of liquid went right into her stomach. Once it was all gone, she felt her mane being stroked. She also received a sweet kiss on the cheek after that.

"Okay, let's wait a little while to let the substance take effect. This slut is going to be screaming for us in about two minutes."

Twilight didn't really feel the effect of the liquid after she drank it, but when around two or three minutes had passed, she started squirming. Her pussy was getting hot. She was starting to sweat. Her tongue was craving for cock. She felt like she was too horny and started to beg as the ponies watched her in amusement.

"Oh my goodness. What was that? I-I need you guys. Please, help me. My body is getting hot. I need cum to cool off. Please feed me your cum. I need to be pounded senselessly. I need a cock shoved down my throat. I need all three of my holes filled at the same time. There needs to be a huge amount of cum inside each of my holes. Please fuck me so hard that I won't be able to move by the end of this. Please use all of my holes for your own pleasure. I want to serve you now. I'll do whatever you want me to do in order to stay your sex slut. Please keep me as your slave. I'll do anything at anytime you want. Please, just use my body that should only be used to service you four masters."

Smirking, all four ponies started again. The real fun could now begin. One pony went to take her pussy while the other three moved to her face. The pony who didn't yet have a turn, started to throat fuck the slutty mare. They all took turns until her entire face was covered in a mix of precum and spit. While the ponies were waiting for their turn, they kept slapping the mare's slutty face with their wet cock. She had to admit, it was a great feeling. She couldn't get enough of the musky flavor. It flooded her entire mind and now the only thing she could think of was cock and cum.

Twilight just relaxed and enjoyed the feeling of letting her masters use her body. The pony abusing her pussy pulled out and moved over to her face and exchanged positions with a different pony. However, this pony chose to pound her ass. He wanted to see how well the tightest hole would work around his two feet cock.

He slowly started to thrust in to get the feeling going. He was about five inches in before the slut was sick of not getting fucked roughly at the moment and spat out the cock she was currently sucking to give him some words of encouragement, as she likes to think of it.

"Hurry up! What are you waiting for!? Pound my little slutty asshole! All of my holes are from a slut's body! She can take whatever pounding you can give! Nothing is too much for this whore!"

This seemed to work up the pony using her asshole. He got rid of everything he thought of before and started going haywire on the slut's asshole. Even the pony who's cock got spat out was getting affected by those words and started to shove his cock deeper into throat.

Twilight was enjoying every second of her pounding. Her moaning was so loud that it covered up the heavy breathing of the stallions combined. If this is what it felt like to serve her masters, then she didn't want to go back to Equestria. She wanted to stay here with them, to be used, to be nothing more than a slut and a whore, a worthless sex object that have no other meaning other than to please her masters in whatever way they desired.

The words Twilight said were now giving the lead pony an idea in mind. She just said that she could take whatever they can give her and that nothing is too much for her. It's time to test if what she just said is true. If that's the case, she's literally the best slut that ever existed.

"Alright fellas, this whore says she can take anything. Why don't we test and see if that theory is true or not?"

The three other ponies got excited at that. However, Twilight seemed to be the most excited out of all of them. Maybe this was the time she was really going to feel it. She was going to get abused by four cocks and she was going to love it.

The leader spawned in an ordinary bed with his magic. He undid the blindfold and all of chains holding Twilight and lifted her over onto the bed. He then whispered his plan to his crew and they gave a smirk. Twilight watched them start to come towards her and thought it would be fun to give them a little tease.

The alicorn spread her legs and showed them her wet pussy, giving them all a seductive look during the whole teasing session. She rubbed a hoof over her pussy and started to thrust inside. She softly moaned and bit her bottom lip as she hoofed herself at the feeling. It then came time that they were all around her with their cocks still hard and wet.

Twilight was then grabbed by a pony and lifted up as he laid down. Twilight was then set with her back on top of the pony's front. The stallion holding Twilight positioned is cock to line up with her asshole. Once he was able to align it, he thrusted in deep and hard. After hearing her screams of joy, he started to pound her ass.

Another pony came on top of her and positioned his cock with her pussy. He pounded away at her pussy the same time as the other stallion pounded at her ass. Twilight was in a state of heaven with being double penetrated by two fat horse cocks.

Her head was hanging over the bed as the remaining two stallions came up to her. As soon as she opened her mouth to try to suck a cock, they were both forced into her wet mouth. Her breathing was becoming more difficult, but that didn't matter in the slut's mind. Her four masters had priority first before her. She was just a stupid slutty whore after all who's only use was to be used for their own pleasure.

Constant precum was coming out from all four horse cocks. All three of her holes started to fill with more aphrodisiac. This made Twilight's mind go numb. Her entire body felt limp as she let her own body go.

Each pony was still thrusting away at the helpless mare. They were each coming closer and closer to the edge. That was when one of the ponies face fucking the mare leaned over and whispered to the other stallion's ear. The response he got was both of his ears perking up and a devilish smirk. He also purposely said out loud his response. "I guarantee this slut would more than love that idea."

This made the other two stallions and Twilight look up at the pony who said it. They didn't know what was going to happen. The ponies just stared at each other while still pounding away.

It was almost about time for each stallion to release their huge loads. The two ponies face fucking the mare nodded at each and both combined their magic to spawn in a bathtub that could easily fit about two ponies inside.

The two ponies stopped pounding away at the sight of the bathtub and grinned widely. They both had a feeling that they knew what was going on. He and the pony that was pounding the mare's ass got up and set hoof back on the ground. All four ponies then started to walk towards the bathtub with the leader picking up their slut and carrying her on his back.

Twilight loved the feeling of being carried by such a dominant pony on his back. She wrapped her hooves around his front while leaning her head close to his ear and whispering, "is it time for my reward? Have I been a good girl for you?"

Still looking forward, the strong stallion whispered back. "You have been a lovely girl for us. We will put you in this bathtub and fill it up with your reward. Consider it the best gift of your life."

Twilight just smiled and snuggled against his neck while she was carried to the bathtub and was slowly levitated off the back of the pony and put inside. The alicorn pony laid as comfortably as she could and proceeded to spread her hind legs. Her whole body was now completely exposed as she rubbed her clit while giving a seductive look.

The stallions all surrounded the tub and stroked their cocks until they reached orgasm. They each aimed their cock so that their load would land inside the bathtub and give the alicorn a literal cum bath. The extra words of encouragement from the mare seemed to help accomplish that. "Please fill the bathtub all the way. I'm filthy and need to be cleaned."

That was then the moment that all four stallions unleashed their loads into the bathtub and seemed to fill it rather quickly. Twilight tried to catch whatever she could with her mouth before swallowing it all and opening it back up to repeat the process.

Cum was sprayed all over the slutty alicorn and the bathtub was almost filled all the way to the top. The orgasms of the stallions were starting to die down after about thirty seconds of constant cumming. The bathtub was now filled all the way to the top and looked like it was about two inches from overflowing. Their pet was submerged all the way in except for her head sticking out that was covered in cum.

The leader had an idea as he lifted the mare out with his magic and held the pony above the cum bath with a smirk. "Let's see how far this mare can go," he said before taking four bondage straps and strapping the mare's hindlegs together with one. He took another and strapped her forehooves together behind her back. The third one was to connect her forehooves and her hind hooves together. The last one was to wrap around her neck and overlap the other straps, locking them together. Twilight was now hogtied and felt it harder to breathe because of the strap constricting her throat.

"Think you can take on breath play with your head submerged in the cum bath?"

"I'm a true slut. I will keep my head down in the cum bath until you let me up for air. I am the best slut ever."

The four stallions smirked at how far they have taken their pet. She was completely broken and had a feeling that she would stay with them to service them more.

The purple alicorn's entire body was now submerged into the bathtub for about a minute before she was pulled back up for air. After the stallion let the mare take a few breaths, he shoved her back down. It repeated for a total of five times, each time getting a little longer.

After she managed to handle the cum bath challenge, she was unstrapped and fed a lot of cum from the bath. She later got horny and got fucked senseless again and sprayed.

This lasted for about a few hours until they had enough and Twilight was a broken mess that laid on the ground, not being able to move. "I hope you enjoyed that, you filthy cumslut," one of the ponies said.

It was about time to let Twilight go back into her real world and out of this nightmare, or maybe the best dream she's ever had. The lead pony looked over to his crew before giving Twilight a decision.

"All right slut, you have two choices to choose from when we let you go. You can either stay in Equestria with your friends and we will stop all of your nightmares. But if you choose that, then you won't have the amazing experience like we just had, ever again."

Twilight was horrified. She didn't want to leave these ponies. She wanted to stay with them.

"Or, you can choose to stay with us. Of course, we can't make you stay with us in your dreams forever, but you can choose to stay with us. When we let you go, all you have to do is find a way to kill yourself. I know it sounds harsh and ridiculous, but if you can do that, then you can stay here for eternity. We will treat you like a princess down here, and you will love every second of it. Those are your two choices you need to make. If you want to take the first choice, then don't kill yourself. If you kill yourself by tomorrow night, then you have chosen the second choice. Tomorrow night is the deadline for a decision. If you don't have your mind made up by then, then we will assume you have chosen the first choice and not bother you ever again. Is all of that clear?"

The mare looked up and nodded slowly before giving out a sigh.

She wanted to take the second choice since it was great pleasure down here, but could she really leave her friends? Would she be selfish?

The unicorns then lit their magic which awoke Twilight from the dream. She saw that she was alone in the bed and that it was already three in the afternoon. She really did spend a lot of time in her dream. She would also have to use this remaining time to think about what choice to make. She got up to find something to eat and to think more.

A few hours had passed and she still hadn't seen Rainbow Dash yet. Why isn't Rainbow back yet? Did she leave me? Does she not want to be with me anymore?

Twilight couldn't make her choice. She wanted to stay in Equestria with her friends. Her friend's showed her that she was worth something. Rainbow was the main one in particular. Twilight also wanted to be the four stallion's slut. It was the hardest choice she would ever have. She gave up thinking about it today as she was tired. She could always make it tomorrow.

The alicorn drifted back to sleep again, which was another quiet and peaceful sleep.

Chapter 8 - Sunday Safe

Twilight woke up from a restful night of sleep. As she opened her eyes, she noticed something different. She was in her room. The lights were dim and there were a few other ponies in her room, her friends. But the pony she noticed the most, was Rainbow Dash.

Twilight was nervous to see that the rainbow-maned pegasus was wearing a hurtful expression. Did Twilight do something wrong?

"Twilight, please tell us that you're not planning on doing it today," her lover said with a hurtful voice.

What does she mean? Why does she sound so hurt? Is there something about me that they figured out?

Twilight now wore a scared expression. She didn't want to find out what her friends found out, but she had to. "What do you mean?"

Sunset still had a somewhat serious expression on her face as she levitated over the calendar that all of her friends soon found out. Twilight was in total shock. She had remembered that she was shown this in her nightmare. She just wanted to get out of this situation as quickly as possible. This scene already made up her choice. She was going to stay in Equestria with her friends. No matter how much she actually liked being a slut for the stallions, her friends were a much higher value.

The thought of her actually enjoying being a slut in Tartarus disgusted her. Did she really like that she almost considered killing herself just to stay a slut forever?

Twilight decided it was best to let them know everything. She couldn't hold anything back anymore, so she gave a speech in a soft voice.

"I'm not. You can trust me on this. I was feeling down since last Sunday because I had nopony to talk to. Everypony was just using me for their needs. But ever since Rainbow showed up that Sunday and became my lover, my world was starting to change. I never knew Rainbow would become my marefriend on that day. I didn't noticed how much all of you really cared about me. I felt like I was alone in a lost hole. I was actually considering killing myself to end this torture. But now, I don't want to. I want to stay here with all of you. I'm sorry that you all had to deal with this. I promise to not kill myself for any reason."

Everypony in the room was in tears by the end of Twilight's speech. Rainbow just jumped at Twilight and hugged her tightly. She actually wasn't going to kill herself after all. The pegasus pony was just happy that she and her friends actually saved her friend. It was a miracle that she just happened to drop by that day. She literally changed Twilight's life.

"I'm so proud of you, Twilight. I'm so glad we were able to help you. We all would've been done for if we found out that you had committed suicide," Rainbow said while cheerfully crying in Twilight's mane."

"I'm sorry I put this much trouble on all of you. I promise it won't ever happen again."

Rainbow and Twilight were back at Rainbow's room. After chatting for a while about the stressful topic, the cyan pegasus decided that Twilight needed a form of escape from the topic. It was definitely a dark thing to talk about.

Rainbow and Twilight just laid together in bed for almost the entire day after they left Twilight's castle. Rainbow wanted nothing more than to hold the one mare she loved most. She would always make sure to be there for her marefriend whenever she needed it.

Rainbow then remembered that she got a letter from Sunset Shimmer that was for Twilight. She was told to give it to her and make sure she was holding Twilight while she read the letter. She also had to kiss her when the letter was finished. It would be like this whole scene was planned out.

"Twilight, I forgot to give you this letter. It's almost time for bed and thought we should do it today while we still have the chance," the pegasus said as she pulled out a letter from her drawer.

Twilight just smiled and opened it. Rainbow looked over her marefriend's shoulder while she started reading.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Hello, my dearest friend. I am amazed at how far you've come. You have changed a lot in the best way imaginable. I don't think there would be a way for me to show how much I appreciate you.

Anyways, I wrote this letter to you to let you know that I'm heading back to my place. I have a lot of stuff to do over there and won't be able to come back to Equestria for a little while. It makes me really sad that I won't be able to drop by and say hi to you.

Though, there is no need to worry about me. I'll be fine where I am as I got my friends to keep me company. Remember to stay safe, especially with the pony holding you affectionately right now. We both want you to know how much we love you. Rainbow planned last Friday for you along with us. We really wanted to have your getaway with Rainbow. She is a lovely mare who cares the most for you. Don't ever forget that she's always the mare to talk with whenever you're feeling down. She will always be there for you.

The other ponies tried to write something on this letter as well to try to talk to you. I really liked the idea of that and told them to keep it short since I'd have to be heading back soon, so here it is.

Hi Twilight! I'm just so super duper happy for you right now. You are one of the best ponies in all of Equestria. You make my heart feel like cupcakes, which is a good thing incase you didn't know. - Pinkie Pie

Hey, sugar cube, I'm just going to say that you've defeinilty conquered another challenge. You are one intelligent mare if I do say so myself. Everypony is proud of you. - AJ

Hello, darling. I have recently got back to making dresses again. You have inspired me to make one about accomplishing a difficult task and to never give up. I will make sure to make a dress based on you since you have taught every one of us a valuable lesson. - Rarity

Hi, Twilight. I just want to let you know that I'm happy for you. I told the animals too, and they are also happy for you. Thank you for everything you gave and taught us. I couldn't say enough how happy I am to have you still be alive. - Fluttershy

Hello there to my favorite teacher of all time. I just want to let you know how proud we all are for you being able to pull through. I've learned a lot of valuable friendship lessons from you. You have definitely inspired me to be a better pony for the future. I will carry on with my current studies and who knows, maybe I'll get to become a teacher just like you. What can I say? You really did motivate me. - Starlight

Hello, love. Can I just say that I'm so proud of everything you've done? You have helped all of us out tremendously. I know you like to focus a lot on your studies just as much as I like to focus on caring for you. I don't think I told you about why you were one of the main reason I became a Wonderbolt. I've always had a crush on you since I've first met you. I've watched you put a lot of time into studying and it made you become a very smart pony. That made me think that if I put enough time to practice flying, I would be able to get into the dream group. I was able to succeed and I couldn't stop thinking about you ever since. Thank you for everything, my love. - Rainbow Dash

Well, there you have it. Trixie also tried to say something, but Starlight would allow it for whatever reason. I guess it was because they became marefriends now and Trixie wanted to say something like that.

Anyways, I really hope you enjoyed this letter. It was actually a lot of fun to make. Be sure to carry on with your life goals and live happily with your one true love who is going to kiss you at the end of this letter.

Sincerely, Sunset Shimmer

And with all of that being read, Twilight felt the pony behind her give her a long kiss on her cheek that lasted about five seconds which made her heart warm up at the feeling. She felt so alive with the letter that her friends put together. She couldn't be more happier to live in Equestria with her best friends.

It was almost about time that the day ended. Twilight remembered that if she wanted to stay with the four stallions in Tartarus, she had to kill herself. She had already made her decision to stay in Equestria with the ponies who had more value to her. She would never trade them in for anything. She couldn't believe that her own body would betray her into wanting to become their little toy.
