Disposing of the Evidence

"Oh, Auntie..." Twilight looked up from her writing to see Flurry standing at the entrance to the throne room. Thankfully, she was wearing clothes. "Mother and Father granted my request to come down to Ponyville for a few quick exchange classes. Won't my kind, loving aunt be willing to lend me a bedroom while I'm in town?"

The royal court looked up at Princess Twilight, waiting for her reply. If she had to deal with Flurry's powerful libido while she was here, she wanted her to be as close as possible. "You shall have the room right next to mine, where your mother and father usually stay when they come to visit," she decreed. "Close to the library for study, and close to me for intellectual discussion."

"How about a picture for the Ponyville Gazette, Princess?" asked a reporter, originally there to document a story of a royal guard captain. "This'll make a great exclusive."

Flurry rushed over to Twilight and hugged her aunt with a big, hammy smile. Twilight put on a contented smile as the picture was taken. After being given the thumbs up from the photographer, Flurry pulled away, but not before giving Twilight's buttock a firm pinch.

Twilight looked around to make sure nopony saw that. "So, what classes are you taking that brought you down here, Flurry?"

"Just a few quick ones. Shouldn't take me more than a month. It's just some field botany and practical chemistry. Recognizing plants and turning them into potions, that sort of thing."

"A month, you say?" Twilight was looking forward to clearing a lot of pictures from her record. "Did you make sure to bring everything you would need for your stay?"

"Don't worry, Aunt Twilight," smiled Flurry. "I double-checked everything." She sauntered toward the door. "I'm going to go bring everything up to my room and settle in. Come see me when you're done with court; I'd like a word with you in private."

Twilight returned to her work, but her mind was elsewhere. For the last six weeks, any interaction between her and Flurry had been very tame. Nothing particularly big had happened, and they were slowly chipping away at the pictures. In all honesty, Twilight was beginning to like Flurry's twice weekly visits. It just went to reinforce her thought that, had this all been optional, she'd have said yes.

She shook the thoughts out of her head and quickly returned to her duties. The faster she completed them, the sooner she could tend to Flurry's needs. There was a changing of guard armaments that needed to be approved for testing, a trade route that needed redirecting and a forest that had recently been subjected to a wave of parasitic insects that needed to be isolated to keep the outbreak from spreading.

She excused herself from the throne room when she was done and made her way up to Flurry's temporary bedroom. There was less of a boundary than there once was, so it wasn't unheard of for her to enter without knocking. "Flurry, I need to ta--"

"P-princess, I..." The guard that had been inside of Flurry stumbled backward and saluted, a clearly embarrassed look on his face.

"Already, Flurry?" chided Twilight, clicking her tongue. "You knew I was coming up. You couldn't have waited until after we talked?"

"You were taking forever. I needed something to pass the time."

Twilight looked at the clock. "It's only been twelve minutes."

"Well, you already caught us. No going back now." Flurry snapped her fingers.

"I don't think he's going to be ready anytime soon, Flurry."

Flurry rolled over and looked behind her. The guard looked torn, and he was completely flaccid. She grabbed his pants off the floor and tossed them in his face. "Back to your patrol, then."

As the guard hurriedly dressed and rushed out of the room, Twilight closed the door. "Now then, is there something important you wanted to discuss, or did you just call me up here to lick your toes again?"

"Well, since you offered..." Flurry spun around, removed her socks and shoes, and presented her foot to Twilight. Twilight kneeled down and started wiggling her tongue between her toes. "The reason I wanted an extended stay down here is to find the ingredients for, and to create, a very specific potion. One that should be easy enough to manufacture, given the price of it."

"Why don't you just buy one, then?" asked Twilight, going right back to Flurry's foot when her sentence was done.

"It has a few side effects when mixed with alcohol, so it's regulated until you've reached a certain age of maturity. It's mostly harmless on its own."

Twilight furrowed her brow. "How 'mostly harmless?'"

"Unless you drink it with alcohol, The worst side effect is that the temporary effects last longer than they're supposed to, unless you're allergic. But if you do mix it with alcohol, it develops some really nasty rashes that last a really long time. It's supposed to be agonizingly painful and very noticeable."

"You weren't planning on doing anything unsafe with that potion, were you?"

"Only its intended purpose," assured Flurry. "I can't buy it for another four years or so."

"That sounds like you can easily mess it up," groused Twilight. "If you're just doing this to make me pleasure you, I'll just buy the potion for you. If you really do want to make it, I have to insist that I watch every single step."

"Really?"

"Of course. I may be upset that you're blackmailing me bu--"

"We had a contract."

Twilight nodded. "I may be contractually obligated to let you use my body for your sexual pleasure, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you hurt yourself, through negligence or ignorance. If you're going to do anything dangerous, I'd like to be sure that you're at least taking all of the necessary precautions."

A big grin spread across Flurry's face. "Why, Aunt Twilight... Even after all I've put you through, and what I still plan to put you through, you're still looking out for me? I'm touched." She leaned back as Twilight took several of her toes into her mouth. "I almost feel bad for what I'm going to do once I have the potion."

"What potion is this, exactly?" asked Twilight, her hands moving up to rub Flurry's thigh. "Should I be concerned?"

"Oh, it probably won't hurt you that much," smiled Flurry. "I'm going to be the one drinking it."

"Flurry..." Twilight stopped sucking. That's how serious she was. "What potion?"

Flurry leaned up and looked at her aunt. "Just a simple, ordinary gender reassignment potion."
