Chapters Dear Princess Celestia,
I can’t sleep at night. Maybe this is more of a worry for Princess Luna, but I simply know you much better, and I feel that in the fourteen years you’ve known me, since I was just a little filly, you’d know me better than anyone, except maybe my parents and Princess Cadance. Still, I must say, every night since the day I became an alicorn, I’ve been feeling… strangely. I can’t stop… feeling warm and… sensitive. I’m sure I don’t need to specify where. Is this a simple case of growing pains? Just something that comes with having recently become an alicorn? Because if so, it’s going on two months now, and it’s getting unbearable! In fact, just writing this letter brings them back. I haven’t been able to get a good night’s rest in a week. Please, any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle
. . .
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I am so sorry to hear about how you have been feeling lately! I know more than most the toll a bad night’s sleep for a long time can take on a pony, but rest assured, I believe I know what could be ailing you. I have had my personal physicians narrow it down to a couple possibilities; I am sure that your friends will understand that you may need to spend a few weeks here to get this all sorted out, and so you can rest properly before you go back to Ponyville. So please, come to Canterlot as soon as you reasonably can. Together, we can figure out a way forward.
Always yours,
Princess Celestia
. . .
The day after Celestia sent her reply to Twilight, the Princess of Friendship glided into the balcony where she knew Celestia frequently welcomed her arrivals for non-formal occasions. Though Twilight, with the help of Rarity, did appear presentable, Celestia’s practiced eyes saw the dark half-circles expertly covered with makeup, and Twilight’s eyes fixed upon her regal form, never deviating away from her body. In her simple teal dress and golden jewelry, accompanied by golden high-heels that exposed her pristine feet clad with pink and teal toe rings, Celestia appeared surprisingly casual to anyone but Twilight and her friends. “It’s good to see you, Twilight,” she greeted, sitting just inside of the balcony door on a plush couch, “Please, come in, come in, if anything will help you sleep, as much as I hate to admit it, staying out of the sunlight will help.” She said with a smirk at her own joke, as Twilight eagerly stepped through the doorway and shut the door behind her before collapsing onto the couch.
“Thanks, Princess,” Twilight said as she lay her head back, spreading her arms on the top of the couch’s back cushion, “Anything that could help with this would be welcomed at this point. I… feel a lot better actually. Still feeling the… sensation, but it’s not as overpowering as it was.”
Celestia nodded her head as she gently took Twilight’s hand, rubbing it gently in both of hers. “I think I know what it is, Twilight. I had a lot of time to think on it, and it reminded me of when Luna and I received our crowns. I believe that the same thing that happened to us as is happening to you.”
“Well, how did you fix it?” Twilight asked, eagerly, the looks of exhaustion briefly lifting from her face.
“Let me start at the beginning, then.” Celestia said, clearing her throat before taking a deep breath.
“Even as foals, and growing up into our adolescence, Luna and I rarely stayed apart. We even shared the same bed for many years after most foals would start to want their own. Many in the Council of Elders, responsible for raising us to adulthood, felt that we needed to be weaned off of each other so we would not seem too… different from those we would soon rule over. They felt that there was something wrong with us, and so for years they tried to limit the time we spent together, until we finally came of age. The entirety of the time, an entire four years, we felt the same agony you did whenever we were apart. But the watchful eyes of our teacher, Miss Hayweather, always seemed to find us whenever we would sneak off to see each other.”
“How horrible!” Exclaimed Twilight, her face falling as she listened to the story. “That’s… that’s just cruel, to keep two ponies as close as you two apart like that just because they didn’t like it!”
Celestia nodded as she caressed Twilight’s hand. “That is why when we came of age, my first act as Princess was to dissolve the Council of Elders and strip them of their authority. They were never allowed to enter Canterlot again, but I believe that the toll it took on Luna could not be reversed. Being apart from me for so long, she grew resentful. Even after I lifted the restrictions the Council placed upon us, Luna stayed away from me. For a long time I wondered if the bond we shared really did die, and after she became Nightmare Moon, I simply accepted it as fact. But then a unicorn I had trained for twelve years returned Luna to me, as she was when I left her.”
Celestia looked into Twilight’s eyes, and smiled. Twilight blushed a little and smiled back.
“And that night, well… we bonded in a way we did not even before we were separated. A thousand years apart, I barely had time to write you letters, though I did write them,” she clarified with a chuckle, “But… Luna and I realized that the bond we shared was something… more than sisterly love. We assumed that it was just something specific to us, but then something peculiar happened. Cadance, in delivering us notice that she and Shining Armor were to marry in Canterlot, confided in me that she felt much the same way we did. Her words were quite similar to those in your letter, Twilight.”
“Well… what did you do to help her?” Twilight asked.
“We spent an entire month together, Twilight. Shining Armor was deployed and would not return for three more months, and Cadance, Luna, and I grew our bond, and now… well it is almost as if Luna and I really are her aunts!” she suggested, to the amusement of Twilight.
“She does call you that a lot, ‘Auntie Celestia.’” She replied with a light laugh, “Well, how did you two grow your bond?” she asked.
“We spent time together, as friends… and as a family. For you see Twilight, you, Luna, Cadance, and I are all now related. Perhaps not in the traditional sense, but still, in a way, by blood. Luna and I are the last natural-born alicorns in the world, and thus any we create are going to be drawn to us. To spend time with each other, and to bond with each other, you see, will certainly alleviate the feelings you experience.”
Twilight’s eyebrow raised as her brow furrowed a little. “But… what exactly do we need to do?”
Blushing slightly, Celestia put a closed fist to her mouth and coughed a little. “It is not one specific thing or series of actions like one can find in a healing manual or in the doctor’s diagnostic books,” she explained, “This is more an art than a science, Twilight. But I promise you, by the end of the time you are here, we will have this figured out.” She explained, before her face lit up, and she raised her index finger pointed towards the sky. “Ah! I have just the idea! My vacation home!”
“The… winter palace outside of the Crystal Empire?” Twilight asked, her facial expression barely changed from before.
“Something cozier,” Celestia suggested, “I have a cabin about twenty miles north of the Kirin village. Luna and I used it when we needed to get away. Far away from the public eye, too, so we can always get as much privacy as we need.”
“I don’t think I understand where this is going…”
“Don’t worry Twilight,” Celestia reassured her student, “It will make sense very soon. I could tell you but… well, do you remember when you realized that the magic of friendship was within you and your friends all on your own?””
Twilight nodded.
“Imagine if I had simply told you to make friends so you could defeat Nightmare Moon because the power was in them. What would be different about how you approached it?”
Twilight opened her mouth to reply, but as her eyes widened, and pupils dilated slightly, she closed it.
“…Oh! I see! They wouldn’t have actually been my friends, just means to an end. And that’s not what friendship is all about at all!”
“I knew you’d get it my faithful student,” Celestia said as she gave Twilight a hug, before teleporting the two away from the balcony and out to the cabin.
“Oh my!” Twilight exclaimed as she found that indeed, the cabin she now sat inside had that very cozy vibe to it all. Only two stories and about the size of a small house, it was quite something. Small by the standards of what she imagined royalty would have, but certainly the size of a home for a family of four, even if only Celestia and Luna ever spent time here.
“It is something, I agree,” Celestia said as she gazed upon the scenery. Basic decorations, simple lamps adorned the walls, a fireplace set up in finely crafted stonework, with some magically-powered lamps around the area. “I always find myself relaxed when I come here, like the problems and stresses of ruling Equestria just… fade away.”
“Well, what if something comes up while you’re here?” Twilight wondered.
“Raven, my secretary, knows how to send me a magical message in case of emergency. So did her predecessor, and all the ones before her, but it has not been needed in centuries, and this time, Luna is perfectly capable of contacting me should anything arise,” she explained, “I trust her to hold down the proverbial fort until I return. But let us not focus on that, let us focus on the here and now, Twilight.” She explained, as she stood up from the comfy couch as she took Twilight on a tour of the home-away-from-home. The cozy home had a spacious kitchen, a wonderfully lit dining area for four, the living room easily able to seat four, and a small reading room full of arcane tomes and storybooks for study and relaxation. Upstairs sat five bedrooms, with four possessing spacious mattresses fit for royalty, while the fifth was locked.
“What’s in that room?” Twilight asked.
“Private,” Celestia replied, calmly but reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I won’t leave you alone while you’re here,” she said, “Maybe one day you will be ready to come in with me, but for now, you need not worry. Here, this bedroom will be suitable for you.” She explained as she walked Twilight over to the bedroom to the far end of hallway, on the opposite end of the hallway from Celestia’s.
Twilight’s bedroom featured a small bookshelf, a reading and writing desk, and a spacious bed featuring her cutie mark on it.
“How did you… How did you know to put that there?” she asked, incredulously.
“I decided it would be a theme,” Celestia explained, “Four royals, four bedrooms. Each themed after one. Plus, if all of us ever came here, it would only be fitting we each stay in the room fashioned after what we like,” she explained as she gently hugged Twilight to the side. “Now, it’s almost lunchtime, so if you want to freshen up, the communal shower is connected to my bedroom,” she explained, motioning towards the room with her cutie mark design on it. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you your privacy,” she chuckled as she sauntered away towards the stairway. “I’ll go fix us something to eat, and then we can do… whatever we like!” she said happily as she smiled at Twilight and headed downstairs.
Twilight watched her long-time mentor stride away, her supple and very, very generous curves swaying with each step as she stepped down the stairs. She already began to hear the “fwoosh” or flames on the stove in the kitchen, and decided to step into Celestia’s bedroom. She saw that it was actually quite sparse, compared to the lavish decorations at the castle in Canterlot and the Winter Palace just outside the Crystal Empire. Still, Twilight closed the door and began to disrobe, tossing each article into a small pile by Celestia’s bed. Though before she turned to the bathroom, she noticed something. One of the pictures propped up on the bedside table. Three, in fact. One depicted Celestia and Luna together, with Celestia hugging Luna from behind, as Luna wore a fine Gala-style dress, with probably the most genuine, joyous face anyone had ever seen. Twilight, despite following the development of history books in the time since Luna’s return, did not recognize this picture. Then she noticed that Celestia’s right hand, and Luna’s left were interlaced together, almost hidden under Luna’s dress. Celestia bore a wide smile, eyes closed, and a beautiful white-and-gold dress, and fine pearl earrings.
Twilight thought back to Celestia, as she sat nude on the bed, gazing at the picture, and smiled. She always imagined Celestia as this serene, level-headed ruler of Equestria. Yet here she was, so joyous and so close with her sister, just as she explained in the story from before. “A thousand years apart, and they’re closer than they’ve ever been,” she commented to herself as she set the picture down, and picked up another. This one depicted Celestia, Luna, and Cadance together. A cake in the background had candle-toppers depicting the number 20. The three royals were all smiles, and they remained in a three-way hug that faced the camera, with Cadance in the middle as she wore a light blue dress, while Luna was on the left, clad in a dress of champagne gold, and Celestia was on the right, clad in a dress of tasteful silver. “Cadance’s 20th birthday… the first one after we brought back the Crystal Empire. I remember this one… she spent so much time that day with those two. I was starting to get jealous!” she chuckled. She then looked a little closer, and noticed a strange ring on Cadance’s finger. The resolution could not reveal what exactly it was, but Cadance never wore a ring on her left ring finger before… not since the wedding with Shining was cancelled. She remembered how surprisingly well he took it, then and now. How happy he was for her and how they stayed “great friends” and remained her royal consort and most important advisor. She never said anything about finding someone else she wanted to marry.
Confused, Twilight put the picture down and picked up the last one. This one, not on a same theme with the others, depicted the group photograph she took with her friends after their first year together. She smiled gently as she remembered this moment very fondly. “Aww…” she said, “Celestia must’ve been so proud of me.” Twilight smiled and hugged the picture gently against her smooth, purple skin and sizeable breasts. Her ears flicked as she felt a tingle down her spine, and spread through her body, giving her goosebumps. “Heh, better go shower,” she said as she placed the photograph back on the table and walked over to the bathroom.
Feeling no need to close the bathroom door, she simply stepped into the shower and turned the water on, and began her usual ritual of showering, though making some adjustments to the unique products Celestia kept. The shower, though, was surprisingly spacious. Three showerheads dangled from the ceiling and the shower was spacious enough to fit five people. Twilight thought little of it as she continued to scrub out her mane and caught a small whiff of the food Celestia cooked downstairs, immediately below the room. She remained fairly rote in her shower routine, covering the basics, head, underarms, under her breasts, between her legs, even down to her feet, before washing out her tail and mane. As she rinsed out her tail, she started thinking about the closeness that Celestia and Luna shared, the bond that she supposedly needed to get herself to sleep again. She still felt the grogginess of it all, but thinking of those pictures, the happiness they felt, how comfortable they seemed, she felt it lift. She imagined herself next to Celestia, holding hands with her like Luna did, and being beside the tall, beautiful monarch. She found herself imagining her curves, the slight cleavage she showed sometimes at the gala, her strong, smooth legs, the cute little toe rings she wore, and that very hefty rear that held its form perfectly even in all the thousands of years she had been alive. She felt a desire to gaze upon her, to hold her hand, and to lean in…
Twilight let out a gasp and felt her body tense up, her abs tighten as she dug her index and middle finger inside deep, before she felt herself tense up there, and release her fluids. Panting, and feeling her perspiration, she finally came to her senses, and realized what she just did! Withdrawing her fingers from her vagina, she gazed upon them, and realized that she still leaked from there. Quickly she rinsed her hand off and went about washing between her legs once more. She felt embarrassed; this was so unlike her! She thought she grew out of such base desires since becoming a princess, but here she was, the Princess of Friendship, lusting after her teacher, her mentor! Yet despite the taboo, she realized that she felt more awake than in the last six months. Now finally clean, she rubbed her eyes and shook her head before stepping out of the shower and grabbing a towel.
She came downstairs in some clothes that she magically conjured, considering she did not think to bring any clothes with her. They were a simple, casual plaid skirt down to her knees and a collared shirt with appropriate and simple underwear underneath. Her mane and tail fixed, she stepped into the kitchen, and saw Celestia smiling as she was just setting some plates down. Some simple grilled sandwiches for the two of them.
“Wow, Twilight,” Celestia commented as she looked into Twilight’s eyes, “You look markedly improved already!”
“Yeah the… shower really seemed to help. I have no idea why, since the shower at my place didn’t work before…”
“Maybe you just needed a change of scenery,” Celestia suggested as she began eating the sandwich.
Twilight smirked and blushed a little, finding her eyes wandering down Celestia’s body… from her well-defined face to her hefty bust, and the long horn from her forehead. Even without the crown on her head, Celestia’s very visage emanated regal beauty to Twilight.
In the middle of chewing, Celestia’s eyes looked up, meeting Twilight’s.
Blushing, Twilight looked down at her sandwich and quickly stuffed the biggest bite she could into her mouth, chewing it with unnatural determination.
Just outside of Twilight’s view, a smirk grew on Celestia’s muzzle, before she too continued eating.
Celestia looked at the calendar in her room as she awoke once more to raise the sun from cozy isolation from the rest of the world. She saw the first week entirely crossed off, and now she crossed off one more day. “A whole week,” she said to herself, taking a deep breath and began stretching each arm across her body. “A whole week with Twilight… ah, it did not take Cadance so long to figure this out, but I suppose it is for the best.” She commented to herself as she looked down at the picture of herself with Luna and Cadance. Her nude body shone in the light through the windows as she finished stretching her arms. Her horn flashed, and her pointed ears suddenly bore adornments of small, tasteful studs of pink, teal, and blue diamonds to match her mane. She stepped over to her jewelry case and looked at her options for the day and decided upon a pendant bearing Luna’s cutie mark for a necklace, and a simple silver band upon her left ring finger. She smiled and gazed upon it before she put it on, and saw the simple, pristine silver on the outside. On the inside, however, bore an engraving in Old Ponish. Reading it over, she smiled at it and the memories it brought back. She felt her most sensitive parts become warmer, as she looked down at probably her biggest secret, both metaphorically and physically. A white sheath, itself wide enough to put just about every stallion to shame, and testes to match. Gently she reached down to fondle herself briefly but pulled her hand away not ten seconds later.
She quickly slipped the ring on and smiled before walking to her wardrobe, before her ears picked up a distinct thud down the hallway. Eyes widening, she cast a simple clothes-conjuring spell as she ran down the hallway and crashed through the door. Her immortal heart raced as she gazed upon the sight before her. Twilight lay slumped on the floor, completely nude, but breathing. Books lay strewn around the desk where Twilight likely sat prior to the fall. Celestia briskly walked across the room before kneeling down and putting a finger to Twilight’s neck and casting a spell to check for any potential maladies. Thankfully, Celestia both found a pulse and discovered no obstructions in her throat or anywhere else.
She let out a big sigh of relief as she lowered her head. “No wonder you’re tired, Twilight, you’re working yourself to exhaustion!” she said as she gently lifted Twilight into her arms, and carried her out of the room, to her own. She set Twilight on the spacious bed, next to the spot where Celestia slept, and pulled some covers over her. “Ahh, so much for the day I had planned,” she said to herself as she walked on over to Twilight’s room again. “What were you doing all night? Surely you weren’t still studying on this vacation?” she wondered, her voice exasperated as she cast a spell to levitate the books towards her, opened to the pages Twilight had them open to.
“Let’s see… Hay’s Anatomy, A Study of Sleep Disorders, and… oh…” she commented as she began to blush at the next title. Treatise on the Pleasures of the Flesh , by Erostus. She could not figure out which page Twilight read up to, but she knew it contained particularly lascivious descriptions of lesbian sex from an “anonymous contributor.” Celestia remembered giving those descriptions in great confidence two thousand years ago, right after she assumed the throne and abolished the Council of Elders, and to this day she remained thankful that not a single pony or creature anywhere figured out the identity of that contributor.
“Maybe you did have this figured out,” she commented as she looked over to the chair Twilight had lain next to. She put a finger on the seat, and found it surprisingly sticky, and tiny puddles of sticky fluid collected at the rear indentation of the seat. She smirked and rubbed the substance between her fingers. “Or perhaps you’re just really needy right now. Either way, I think it’s time to step things up.”
Celestia cast a spell to clean the room and return the books to their proper places, magically fixed the door, returned to her room, and sat down on the bed next to Twilight. “Twilight,” she said, reaching over to nudge her awake, “It’s time to wake up. You can’t be sleeping through the whole day!”
Twilight groaned as she opened her eyes. They looked right into Celestia’s and widened. “Princess Celestia,” she managed to say, “I… wait,” she said as she looked around, and then returned her eyes to Celestia as she sat up to lean against the headboard of the bed. The covers slid down, revealing Twilight’s breasts, and she quickly gasped and gathered the sheets to cover them.
Celestia chuckled and leaned in slightly. “Twilight, we’re both mares. You were also naked when I carried you in here, so there’s really no need.” She assured her. “I was worried about you; You fell off the chair in your room a few minutes ago, and it gave me quite a fright, Twilight! What were you doing in there?”
“I was trying to figure out what I could do to help me sleep,” she said, “I discovered something that seemed to have results and I wanted to see what the research was on it,” she explained, blushing slightly as she let the covers lower just a little bit, revealing some of Twilight’s cleavage but not showing anything more.
“Ahh, research,” Celestia said as she teleported the Treatise on the Pleasures of the Flesh into her hand. “This book does provide some exquisite research into some… particular topics,” she chuckled as the book hovered back to Celestia. “You don’t need to hide things from me, Twilight. Now, I know what you’re going to say,” she explained as she held up a finger the moment she saw Twilight’s mouth open, “But I can promise you that everyone, alicorns included, feel the desires of the flesh in some fashion or another. There is nothing, Twilight, nothing wrong with wanting to feel that pleasure.”
Twilight sighed and curled up in the bed, bringing her knees up to her chest. “I just… remembered the lessons you gave me on how foals were made. How it needs a mare and a stallion. But I never felt love for a stallion, Princess. Rarity talks about marrying a stallion so much, and Pinkie’s been going on dates with Cheese Sandwich lately, and I just never felt that way about anyone! I see movies and read books about romance, and the idea of it is wonderful but I can’t see myself with anyone! It’s like I don’t deserve it!” she expressed, frustrated. Her eyes became slightly bloodshot, blurry, and her upper lip quivered as she lowered her head into her arms.
Celestia wordlessly took Twilight into a tight, comforting embrace. “Oh, you poor thing,” Celestia whispered, “I am so sorry I never explained this to you, but I promise you that you of all ponies are deserving of romantic love, and the pleasures of the flesh. With everything you’ve done for Equestria, for your friends, for everyone, you of all ponies deserve someone to call your lover. Your marefriend, even.”
Twilight’s body heaved in sobs as Celestia held her, but eventually Twilight’s head looked up. “I… guess I never thought about it. I never found any books that talked about those kinds of relationships, either. Well, at least not until I found the Treatise. The way he spoke about mares being with other mares… how they experienced pleasures no stallion ever could! I thought I was a deviant-“
“Twilight, shh…” Celestia interjected, caressing her shoulder. “There’s nothing deviant about liking mares.”
“But two mares can’t make a foal.” Twilight protested.
“Is getting pregnant what you want, Twilight?”
“I, uh… isn’t that what’s supposed to result from being married?”
“Love, pleasure, and especially sex is about what you are comfortable with, Twilight.” Celestia said, pulling away just slightly to look down at her, reaching over to her chin to tilt Twilight’s head up. Their eyes met as Twilight blinked and blushed before looking away. “There are plenty of mares and stallions, even straight ones, that go through lives never wanting and never creating a foal. And most of the time, they are perfectly happy that way. So no, you don’t need to work on having a foal if you don’t want one. Love is about what you want with the other pony. And maybe two mares want to adopt a foal, and maybe they don’t. But it’s all their decision. Whoever you love, Twilight, what matters is that the other pony makes you happy.”
“But… aren’t there ponies you shouldn’t feel that way about?” Twilight asked.
“Mm, there are those that fit that description; Those unwilling or unable to say they want partake, primarily. Now Twilight… you can tell me anything. I promise you there’s nothing you can say that will make me care for you any less. But… are you feeling attracted to some mare you don’t think you should be?” she asked.
Twilight closed her eyes and curled up, looking down. Celestia smirked a little, as she leaned in, caressing Twilight’s cheek. “Is it someone I know?” she asked.
Twilight nodded.
“Have you known her for a long time?”
Again, a nod.
Celestia let out a short, light chuckle. “You always did like ’20 Questions’, Twilight. Well… I suppose that’s three down, seventeen to go. Mm… is she… one of my chamber maids?” she asked.
Twilight sputtered out a laugh. “Haha, ah… no, no it’s not her,” she replied, finally looking back up at her.
“All right, sixteen left… does she live in Ponyville?”
Twilight shook her head.
“Mm… Canterlot?”
A nod.
“Ahh, I see. Well, fourteen questions left. Let me offer a wager then, Twilight: If I guess by the tenth question, then you can ask me anything , and no matter what the question is, I will answer it honestly and as straightforwardly as I possibly can. Sound good?”
Twilight smiled, blushing brighter as she nodded.
“Very well…” Celestia replied, as she turned her eyes up in thought, putting a hand to her chin. “Does she… like to wear jewelry?”
Twilight nodded very gently as she looked cutely into Celestia’s eyes, as Celestia stared back. She felt her heart pound in her chest as she leaned closer.
“Does this mysterious mare spend a lot of time in the castle?”
Again, a hesitant nod.
“Mmm, does this mare happen to have many statues made of her? And are photographs and paintings of her a common sight throughout this country?” Celestia asked with a sly grin as she gently caressed Twilight’s head.
“I, uh, y-yes…” Twilight whispered just audible enough for Celestia to hear.
“Ooh, and final questsion…” Celestia concluded, “Is this mare an alicorn? Alabaster white, seven foot-ten, magenta eyes?”
Twilight’s eyes widened as her blush turned bright red. “I…” she began to say, before shaking a little.
Celestia held Twilight gently, stroking her head as she still pressed her nose to Twilight’s, gazing into h er eyes before closing them. “You can say it, Twilight Sparkle. I promise you I am not upset.”
“I… like you,” Twilight confessed almost immediately, shrinking away from Celestia, and burying her face into her arms. “I guess I’m lesbian, then; But I’ve never felt this way until after I became a princess. I tried… touching myself… but it never helped my sleep until I started spending this time with you!”
Celestia continued holding Twilight close to her and let the moment sit for a few moments. “Can I tell you a secret, Twilight?” she asked.
Twilight looked up at her hesitantly.
“I’m lesbian, too.”
Twilight’s eyes widened as they met with Celestia’s once more. Celestia smiled gently and pressed her nose to Twilight’s. “Wait, really?”
Celestia nodded gently. “There are so few that I have ever felt an attraction towards, but they’ve all been mares. They are also the ones I have bonded with over many years; the ones with whom I shared trial and tribulation, the ones who proved themselves as exceptional.” She explained, as she put a hand on Twilight’s cheek, cupping it.
The moment sat there, pregnant, and agonizingly slow. Between each beat of her heart, throbbing in Celestia’s ears, a minute seemed to pass. Finally, the time came, and Celestia leaned in further, tilting her head and pressing her lips to Twilight’s. Head cupped in her hands, Twilight’s cheeks flushed red, but her eyes closed soon as she reached up and gripped Celestia’s shoulders. They held their lips together, gently tasting each other as Twilight finally let the sheets fall from her chest, revealing her impressive bust. Celestia cast a spell to disappear her shirt, allowing their mounds to press together. Celestia kept her eyes closed as she experienced the inexperienced motions of Twilight’s lips and tongue. Twilight always stopped short of moving it into Celestia’s mouth, while still sometimes touching them together right in the middle. Occasionally Celestia ran her tongue along the roof of Twilight’s mouth, or along her teeth, and felt her shiver slightly each time. She also ran her hands over Twilight’s breasts, to much the same effect. Especially when she squeezed them gently, a light moan escaped her throat into the kiss.
A good five minutes later, Celestia pulled away from the kiss. A trail of spittle still connected their lips for a moment before it broke and fell to Celestia’s knee. She smiled warmly at Twilight and pet her mane a little. Twilight returned the gaze and smiled a little more nervously, but still remained receptive to the hands that continued squeezing her breasts.
“I… wow,” she panted, “That was…”
“…your first kiss?” Celestia asked coyly. Twilight chuckled, but nodded.
“I’m glad it was you.” She expressed as she felt a small gurgling of her belly. She looked down, but Celestia chuckled.
“I suppose I should make us something to eat,” she suggested, “we can talk about this over breakfast. And clothing is optional,” she added while she pulled back. With Twilight’s hands in her own, she tugged at them as she stood up, top still completely off.
Twilight hesitated, but after a few moments followed suit, standing up and letting the sheets slide off her smooth body, revealing herself entirely to Celestia. She smiled gently as she took Twilight’s hand and guided her downstairs.
Once downstairs, Celestia began making some simple oatmeal with honey and fruit for the two of them, while Twilight sat down at the table. “Is this the bonding you told me about? What we just did, I mean?” She asked.
“Do you feel like your bonding need is satisfied?” Celestia wondered.
Twilight looked down at the table for a moment before replying. “More than when I got here,” Twilight replied. “I feel a lot less tired and exhausted, but… not completely.” She reported, rather flatly.
Celestia, finishing up the preparations by heating the oatmeal with her magic, turned and placed the bowls on the table, and peppered the bowls with fruit slices. “Twilight,” Celestia said, moving her chair around the table such that the two sat adjacent. “…I’m not obligating you to be intimate with me. There are other ways to satisfy your need for bonding.”
“No, no, I enjoyed it!” Twilight quickly corrected, “I enjoyed it a lot, Princess. I just…” she began, before pausing and lowering her head. “I want to be more than just your pupil, but I don’t want to leave my friends. I… I love my friends; I can’t leave them behind! Not after all we’ve been through!”
“Whoever said anything about leaving them behind?” Celestia asked, sweetly. “Twilight, of all ponies, I would never ask you to choose between your friends and me!”
“But, what if my friends ask why I have to go to Canterlot so often?” she asked.
“You can be honest with them, Twilight. Of all ponies, your friends, as true as they are to the very essence of friendship, will understand, and will still love you. They have been through so much and still stuck together; trust them.”
Twilight smiled and leaned into Celestia, taking a deep breath, and breathing out a relieved sigh. “You’re right; If our friendship is strong enough to withstand Tirek, Chrysalis, and Discord, then it’s strong enough for them to understand what we have.” She concluded.
“Perhaps I shall set up a teleportation circle between our castles so you are never more than a few minutes away from either location. Would that help with easing your mind?”
“Yeah!” Twilight replied as she gave Celestia a kiss on the shoulder, “That would be fantastic.”
“Then I shall put that on my ‘to-do’ list!” Celestia replied as she gave Twilight a kiss on the cheek and leaned away to begin eating.
The meal continued rather silently, as the two remained focused on their food, with intermittent stomach growling from both. Once finished, Twilight washed the dishes as Celestia walked to the front of the cabin to gaze out the window. “The weather is beautiful, Twilight,” she said, “How about I show you this lake I recently discovered and renovated as a private pool?” she asked, turning around with a wink.
Twilight smiled as she walked over next to Celestia and wrapped an arm around Celestia’s waist. “I would love to!” she replied, looking up. “I imagine I shouldn’t bring a swimsuit?”
“No need for that at all, Twilight,” Celestia assured her, “I have a privacy spell around the entire place, so any non-alicorn will simply see a gaping sinkhole and avoid it. Plus, I imagine you have never gone skinny-dipping before?”
Blushing, Twilight shook her head. “Well, if I was to do it with anyone for the first time, I’m glad it’s with you, Princess.” She replied as she nuzzled her head against the side of Celestia’s breasts.
The pair arrived at the small lake, a good mile hike from the cabin. Twilight wore only a swimsuit cover and sandals, while Celestia wore only some loose-fitting pants and similar sandals for the trek over. Their bodies glistened with a sheen of sweat as they approached the lake, easily half a mile at its longest point, and devoid of any algae, fish, or any signs of life. “This was a hot spring once.” Celestia explained, “But the underground lava flow cooled fairly recently, and so I decided to put some wards around it to keep it clean and otherwise suitable for the princesses and I.”
“It looks really serene!” Twilight commented. “Is the water still warm, at least?”
“It’s warmer than any other lake that I haven’t protected by a permanent ward,” Celestia chuckled, “so I think it will be just fine to slip into.” She said to as she conjured a chair and removed her wrap to set it down. Twilight followed suit, revealing her body to the morning air. The hour was 11:00, and Celestia even conjured a picnic basket for a simple lunch later.
Twilight strolled, completely nude, towards the lake and gently placed her foot into the water at the shallow shore. The soft sand felt like powder against her feet, and the water reminded her of a bathtub at just the right temperature. She gently stepped inside, until she dipped lower and lower into the water, and the water level rose to her breasts and just covered her nipples. Not that the water constrained any visibility; it was crystal clear. Celestia watched from the shore as she set up a table for them to eat at later, as she removed her own swimsuit cover, showing off her impressively large alicorn-sized breasts, and removed her pants. Twilight’s eyes widened as she saw what lay underneath; Princess Celestia’s bikini bottom bore an incredible bulge! So tightly it clung to the bulge that it left almost nothing to the imagination; a sizeable sheath, alone enough to put most stallions to shame in girth, and testes the size of apples. All of which showed fully as Celestia slid her bottoms off slowly and sensually. Her sheath and balls bore the same pearly white of Celestia’s body, though her cutie mark emblazoned each sphere. Already, her pristine pink cock slowly extended from the sheath as she strode towards the water, walking into it towards Twilight.
Twilight remained dumbstruck at the sight, all the way until Celestia pressed a kiss upon her lips. She closed her eyes and returned it but couldn’t help but reach down and touch. Celestia pulled away from the kiss and pressed their noses together. “Did you think it was an illusion?” she asked.
“I almost didn’t believe my own eyes!” she panted, “You’re a symbol of fertility and motherhood to some ponies! I’ve seen mares erect idols of you and wish upon them for a successful pregnancy! Do you even possess those parts?”
Celestia shook her head. “I’m not capable of being a mother in the biological sense. I can conceive a foal with a mare, but I cannot carry or birth them.”
“How can you keep this a secret from them?”
“Twilight, do you see other respectable kings, queens, and emperors giving detailed descriptions of their anatomy between their legs?” Celestia joked as she tilted her head up and hugged Twilight. “I am, in many ways, the mother figure to Equestria. Many feel that I was the one who lead Equestria into its current state of prosperity, and thus the mother to its success. The fertility practices date back to a very old… old practice. Back when I began ruling Equestria, I sometimes came in the night to cast spells upon mares and stallions alike who had wished for a foal. I would not create life, just cast a spell to make their respective reproductive organs especially potent. Though I stopped doing it after a hundred years, some ponies pray that I may do so again. And between you and me… I go about doing it once a hundred years,” She said with a smile as she pulled back from the hug and gently tapped Twilight’s horn with her finger. “Your father prayed especially hard the last time it happened. So, you’re welcome!” she whispered.
Twilight’s dumbfounded expression grew into one of a life-shattering revelation.
Celestia’s resulting crescendo laugh quickly broke the expression as she leaned over, unable to help but double over in a hearty laugh. Twilight’s face soon contorted into one of amazed hilarity. The two hugged as they barely contained their laughter for a solid minute, before Celestia put her lips to Twilight’s forehead. “Oh you jokester,” Twilight said as she reached over and produced a splash against Celestia.
“Ah! I’ll get you for that!” Celestia responded as she backed away and produced a splash to soak Twilight’s body, swiping her arm across the water.
The “fight” continued for some time, laughing and giggling the entire way, before Celestia decided to call a truce, and levitated the chairs and table over near them, to a drop-off of the lake’s depth by the edge, where they could both swim up and lean against the ground and eat. Celestia prepared some simple daffodil sandwiches for the two of them, and as they ate, Celestia and Twilight looked out upon the lake, and the woods. “You know,” Twilight said, “Equestria really is beautiful. If you are its mother, then… well, I can see how.” She explained, looking over at Celestia.
Celestia blushed lightly but chuckled too. “You charmer,” she said as she reached a hand over and brought Twilight again to her side. “It’s great that you see it this way, though. I think one of the first things a good ruler needs to have is an appreciation for the land they rule over.”
“It’s still so strange, though; I never saw myself as becoming a leader. My parents are so proud of me, my friends are proud of me, too… but I never really sought it out. It just happened to me.”
“Neither did I,” Celestia replied, “When I was growing up, I never asked to be a ruler; I wanted to be a painter. So did Luna. But circumstances being what they were, I went through with it out of my sense of duty to Equestria. Though I admit, I do still find the time to paint!” she added with a smile and a kiss to the forehead. “I see you’ve been feeling that sense of duty, too, ever since you ascended.”
“I have. I see a lot more things in terms of what would be best for Equestria or what would be best for the most people. I get nervous a lot of times, but with the help of my friends and your guidance, well…” she said as she reached over and took Celestia’s hand in hers, interlacing their fingers. “…I think the four of us will make for great princesses.”
Celestia squeezed Twilight’s hand gently as she turned her head to look into Twilight’s eyes. Twilight returned the gesture, and the two leaned in for one more kiss. This time, as the kiss progressed, Celestia felt her shaft press against Twilight’s body, and Twilight reacted swiftly. Her hand grasped the shaft, and gently slid along it in the middle. The impressive length and girth easily reached high up on Twilight’s body, up to her sternum. Twilight kept the kiss going as this happened, impressing Celestia as she reached down to hold Twilight’s rear.
The moment continued, until thunder sounded in the distance. The two mares broke the kiss and looked up. Indeed, a thundercloud headed their way rapidly. “Stars, I forgot!” Celestia commented as she spread her wings to hover herself out of the lake and magically dried herself off, “There’s a storm coming for the rest of the week! Twilight, get dried off, and I’ll teleport us back!”
After a scramble to collect the materials, Twilight grabbed Celestia’s arm and the two teleported back to the cabin. “Wow, that was close,” Twilight commented as she set some items down, as Celestia teleported them back to their proper places.
“Now,” Celestia began, turning to Twilight and taking both her hands in her own, “Where were we?” she asked, in a lower tone. She leaned down and pressed her lips once again to Twilight’s, as the rain began to fall outside. The clattering of the rain against the roof and the wooden walls of the cabin and the glass windows began to grow steadily louder as Celestia guided them to the nearby couch. She coaxed Twilight to lay back on the couch, but Twilight pulled away.
“What’s wrong?” Celestia asked, concerned. “Are you having second thoughts about… making love?”
“No, no,” Twilight clarified, “I… really want this. But…” she trailed off, blushing brightly. She mumbled something.
Celestia smiled a little as she stepped closer to Twilight. “It’s all right, Twilight. You can tell me.”
“I want it… in my butt.” She whispered.
It was Celestia’s turn to blush and widen her eyes in surprise. “Really? That usually takes quite a bit of training, Twilight,” she explained, concerned, “If you’re worried about pregnancy, I can teach you a spell that will make that impossible for twelve hours…“ Celestia began to say.
Twilight, barely even reacting to Celestia’s attempts at reassurance, reached back to her rear, lifting her tail out of the way to show off her pert rear, and after wetting her fingers with her mouth, she easily slipped three fingers inside of her rear, and gasped. “Nngh… I’ve practiced, Princess. I… at first wanted to save it for someone special, so I didn’t even put my fingers down here,” she explained as she tapped her feminine folds with her pinky finger. “Back here though… I put them here so much I learned how to keep it clean and put more fingers in and so… well that just became how I pleasured myself.” She explained as she reached back and began gently masturbating her anus. Three fingers easily sank inside of her anus with naught but the help of some spit from her fingers. “You’ll still be my first either way, Princess.”
Celestia felt her heartbeat soar as her cock throbbed with arousal, dripping precum already. “Well, if that’s really where you would like it, Twilight, I’ll have to give you a bit of a crash course,” she explained softly as she helped Twilight into position. Once Twilight was face-down on the couch, Celestia leaned forward and cast a series of spells, narrating them as they went. “Localized muscle relaxer, lubrication, and just a touch of numbing. Anyone who dabbles in this kind of penetration should memorize these spells.”
Twilight, her head turned to her left side and looking back at Celestia, smiling. “Did you learn that with Luna?” she asked slyly.
Celestia smirked and lightly gave a soft swat to Twilight right on her cutie mark. “You’re too smart for your own good sometimes, Twilight.” Celestia chuckled as she got herself into position. Once more, she cast a lubrication spell, but this time on herself, coating her impressive shaft with the same lubrication inside of Twilight. She kept a sly smirk on her face as Celestia aimed her shaft at Twilight’s entrance. “I’m ready, Twilight. I’ll wait for your word.”
A few moments passed, when Twilight took a deep breath. Celestia recognized the breathing exercise Cadance taught her right after Twilight ascended, and kept her genuine, warm smile as Twilight nodded. “I’m ready.”
Celestia smiled as she ran her finger from the base of Twilight’s tail, down the crease of Twilight’s rear, all the way to her now well-lubricated passage. Kneeling behind Twilight, Celestia pushed herself forward. Her tip pressed against the entrance, causing a light gasp from Twilight. She kept one eye facing Celestia, with her head laying on its side as Celestia gazed lovingly back into it as she pressed herself inside. She gasped as she felt the purple flesh stretch around her, and not tighten immediately like a complete amateur. “Nngh…” she whispered as she pressed deeper inside.
Twilight panted and let out light sounds, but every time Celestia looked at her and asked via facial expression if Twilight wanted to continue, Twilight always replied with a light nod as Celestia pushed herself deeper and deeper. Inch after inch slid into Twilight’s virgin passage, before finally it stopped at the top of Celestia’s sheath. “I… can’t believe it fit,” Twilight whispered.
“You are an alicorn, Twilight,” Celestia panted as she leaned down to kiss Twilight’s ear, “Alicorns are… very accommodating, and durable. Now…” she concluded as she leaned back and gently pulled back to thrust back inside. “Nngh!” she grunted, before repeating the motion. Again and again, the motion repeated, but after some time, the more pronounced, staccato motions turned fluid and continuous. The couch creaked with each thrust, Twilight’s body rocked forward and back with the motions of Celestia’s. Time passed almost imperceptibly as the rain poured down outside, and the couch continued to creak. However, Celestia’s and Twilight’s eyes never parted gazes from each other.
After some time, Twilight suddenly tensed up, and her eyes closed. “Ah…ooohaahh… Princess Celestia!” she cried out as Celestia felt the sudden tightening around her shaft, and saw the tensing of Twilight’s muscles all over her body. Celestia grinned and kept going. “That’s it, Twilight… no touching… now, again!” she spoke, in an almost commanding tone.
Barely seconds later, Twilight’s body wracked with pleasure and tensed once more. Celestia’s balls, occasionally slid against the couch and pressed against Twilight’s virgin marehood with each thrust. “Again !” She declared in an exuberant whisper, with much the same results. Twilight’s body from above her waist writhed in pleasure; her arms grabbed a pillow and squeezed it as hard as she possibly could. Some of the seams broke as she erupted in a third wave of bliss. Her legs kicked hard against the couch cushion on either side of Celestia’s legs rapidly as Celestia simply refused to stop her thrusting, though it grew in force the more Twilight’s body experienced the immense tidal wave of emotion rushing through her body.
“One more, Twilight, one more! Four of these, for four Alicorns… cement your place with us!”
“NNgahh… use me, Princess!” Twilight cried out, now coated in a thin sheen of sweat.
Celestia wordlessly grinned and gave Twilight a spank. Far harder than the last one, it left a light red mark as she let herself go. Her thrusts came with the force all her muscles could muster. The couch’s wooden supports cracked from the force, and Twilight’s responses to Celestia’s scepter bottoming out within her became more audible. Twilight failed to hold out for longer than a few minutes before she wrapped her legs back around Celestia’s waist as best she could from her position. Her head faced forward, away from Celestia as she cried out from the fourth and final wave of pleasure that tensed her body up just enough to coax Celestia’s legendary endurance to finally release. Her shaft flared within Twilight and erupted, spilling her seed deep within.
Panting, the two alicorns held their positions as long as possible, before Twilight’s legs fell to the cushion and her head once again turned to the left. She panted heavily as Celestia kept herself inside, even as her own prodigious orgasm subsided, filling Twilight with easily a liter of her seed. “Have fun?” she asked in between pants.
“Nngh,” Twilight replied with a nod, “I don’t think I’ll walk straight for a couple days. But it was worth it.” She said, her voice crackling a little.
Celestia leaned over and draped her body atop Twilight’s, remaining buried within her. “Happy to hear it,” she whispered back into Twilight’s ear.
The two rested on the couch, still embraced and sharing body heat as the rain continued pouring down outside, with a distant rumble of thunder making Celestia squeeze her newest lover’s body each time. She couldn’t help but smile all the way until she dozed off, still buried deep inside of Twilight.
“I think I feel better now,” Twilight commented to Celestia as she stood up and walked much like her normal self.
“It does seem so,” Celestia agreed, “You will need to practice before we do that again; you will not always have the time to recover like this.”
“I know. I just wish we could do it again,” Twilight protested lightly, “I’ve never felt so… so good in my life!”
“If we do it too often, it becomes less special,” Celestia advised, “Trust me, there is nothing worse in the world of love than allowing physical intimacy to become old and stale. For instance, Luna and I take long breaks between our lovemaking sessions and fulfill our need for closeness with non-sexual intimacy; dinner by firelight, a movie, or whatever strikes our fancy.”
“You’re probably right,” Twilight said as she hugged Celestia gently. “What about the others?”
“I recommend a refractory period with all of them,” she advised, “but of course, what you do with them is up to you and them,” she added with a smile and a wink. “Cadance, I should warn you, is nearly insatiable sometimes. My sister, on the other hand, is quite fond of teasing for days, even weeks on end. It drove Cadance absolutely wild…”
“What’s the longest you have ever gone, Princess? Aside from… well, you know.”
“After Luna returned, the longest was… about six months. But Luna hopes to work up to a year,” she added with a smile. “And yes, it was splendid the day after the end of the sixth month!” she added in a whisper before kissing Twilight’s cheek.
The two eventually descended downstairs for a quick breakfast of pancakes.
As Twilight poured some syrup on her freshly-made meal, she looked up at Celestia’s nude form, and smiled at her. “So… how did you figure all of this out?” she asked. “I imagine it was… with Luna? I saw those pictures on your bedside… You’re very upbeat but that image was just… pure joy!”
Celestia smiled as she daintily cut into her own stack of pancakes. “I hoped you would find that. Yes, it was about a year after Luna and I reunited; she felt the same way you did and so we started trying everything we could think of… the spa, music, reading, meditation… but eventually we realized that these methods only worked when I helped her with it. So we started spending more time together, just quality time. No governing, no official duties, just… the two of us together.”
“Kind of like what we did this month?”
“At first, yes.” Celestia replied as she took a bite. “Well, as time went on though, it felt as if Luna and I could not spend enough time together, and every moment we spent apart felt like an eternity. It felt as if we were drifting apart, but when we would clasp hands, it was as if the sun rose on our relationship once again.” Celestia took a breath and sipped some orange juice. “One day, Luna and I had a plan to take two weeks off from our duties after a particularly dragging month. The first day we met up, at this very cabin no less, Luna leapt into my arms, and kissed me. Right… right on the lips.” She confessed with a blush. “I still get flustered every time I think about it. I suppose she could give you better insight on her feelings, but suffice to say, I kissed her back with nary a thought against it. It felt as if a weight lifted from us both, and as we kissed, I scooped her into my arms and took her to bed. We… ah… we made love until Luna had to raise the moon.” She related, still blushing, but smiling as she set down her fork in her half-eaten pancakes. As she continued to speak, Celestia used her magic to project her memory of the event to Twilight, as if a movie screen floating in the air. “We did not even share a word between us until she returned. She sat next to me and hugged me, as I kissed her cheek. I will never forget what she told me… she said ‘Sister… doth this mean we are to be married?’” Celestia chuckled at the recollection as she did her best to imitate Luna’s voice. It sounded exaggerated and more akin to a comedy impersonation, but Twilight giggled at the impression as well. “I thought she was making a joke, but Luna was quite serious about it, so I hugged her, and agreed. We spent much of the next two weeks exploring our bodies and experimenting. None of us had ever… truly made love before. I never desired to do so with anyone for fear of anyone believing I abused my power for sex, so although we read many written works on lovemaking, both fictional and instructional, we had never pleasured anyone but ourselves. We learned many of our personal quirks in the bedroom and outside. When it ended, we both went to our favorite jewelers and produced wedding rings for each other. I employed the most loyal chaplain of the Royal Guards that I knew at the time and had him officiate our wedding in secret. That picture you saw on my bedside table was what we took shortly after the ceremony. I told Luna a joke about us having to decide which one of us should be Queen. I don’t even remember what the joke was, but it made her laugh so hard. I had never seen her so happy, so joyous before. I made sure to use my camera to take a picture of it and I’ve kept that photograph on my bedside table ever since.”
Twilight scooted her chair over to Celestia’s side and hugged her. “That’s really sweet, Princess. It sounds like you two have always been soulmates.”
“We are,” Celestia agreed. “And when Cadance came into the mix, well… she felt that way about us, too. I never imagined that I could have more than one soulmate, but when she told me how she felt, it reminded me of Luna. I could see the desire in her eyes, and so Luna and I took her in to Canterlot on a retreat. This was well before her wedding but after she agreed to be engaged. Well… she was insatiable for that time. Far more forward than you or Luna and far faster to intimacy, too. I caught Luna in her bed on the third day. Needless to say, she could not bring herself to go back to Shining Armor, but… we discovered Shining quite enjoyed watching and knowing how happy we made her. So we invite him to watch sometimes and in exchange some of my most elite guards have their way with him,” she chuckled as she hugged Twilight gently.
“I knew my brother liked stallions more; I always wondered if he really had been in a phase when he told me he was going to marry Cadance, but… well I guess I was wrong. But I’m glad he’s happy.”
“As are Cadance and I.” Celestia said with a kiss to Twilight’s horn.
“So, what happened in the picture with the you, Luna, and Cadance?”
“Well, on her 20th birthday, Luna and I secretly proposed to her, and she had just said yes.”
“Did you tell her a joke, too? Like you did with Luna?” Twilight asked with an almost impish grin.
Celestia chuckled and shook her head. “No, she just… was so overwhelmed by the emotions of marrying her true loves, that she burst out laughing. Some ponies cry when they feel such an overwhelming amount of happiness, and some, like Cadance, laugh.”
Twilight smiled as she finished her pancakes. “Well, Princess,” she said as she looked up. “You make me very happy. I’d be honored to join you, Luna, and Cadance in this circle of love we all have.”
Celestia hugged Twilight tightly and kissed her cheek. “I knew you would. You don’t have to marry us, but… you are free to ask whenever you like.”
