“Thanks for doing some proofreading for me, Dash. Really appreciate it.”

“You know I’d never turn down the chance to get an early copy!” Dash grinned, leafing through the pages of Daring’s notebook. “So Zecora really sent you off on a fetch quest?”

“Yeah, though I didn’t have the time to write about it until a few days ago.” Daring quickly darted her eyes from side to side, not wanting to mention the exact reasons why her writing process was delayed.

“Sweet!” Rainbow had plenty of questions, but she assumed that most of them would be answered in Daring’s draft.

Daring Do took the time to relax, putting her hooves up on Rainbow’s couch, resting her pith helmet on her chest. “This month’s been crazy, hasn’t it, Dash?”

“Tell me about it,” Rainbow sighed. “Just got a week left, though! I swear, if something screws me over when I’m so close to finally winning, I’m gonna...” she let out a groan of frustration.

Daring let out a short, amused chuckle. Rainbow Dash’s struggles sounded just like her own back at the start of the month. Thankfully she could spend the rest of the month in relative relaxation. She had been away on her own for so long, a little bit of social interaction wouldn’t hurt before the big celebration at the end.

It did feel like a bit of a cheat to use Zecora’s libido-dulling potion, but the ability to write without lust clouding her thoughts was worth the competitive pride.

Pomf!

“Oh fuck, what now?” Daring’s head shot up to attention, hoping that Dash was just having those random unexplainable wingboners.

“Uh, Daring? What’s with this bit right here?” Dash turned the book around, pointing to the passage.

As if by some stroke of luck, Daring Do had stumbled upon what she was looking for.

A plant bearing bright red, long, and bumpy fruit. Exactly like the drawing depicted. Success at last.

She began her harvest, grabbing the fruits and pulling them off the plants with a gentle tug, fitting as much as she could in her bag. Zecora didn’t say how much she needed to grab, but better safe than sorry.

Now with her bounty in tow, all that was left to do was get back. She had already made her own path on the way over, backtracking was going to be much easier.

The extra weight of the fruits caused no difficulty to the adventurer. The only real difficulty was enduring the length of the trip back.

Still, that gave her plenty of time for Daring Do to think. What exactly did Zecora mean to give her as a reward? She described it as a mutual benefit, but realistically that could mean anything.

That zebra was certainly a mysterious one. Her initial meeting with her was brief, but it felt like every moment she spent learning about her only gave her more questions to ask.

There was something about her that was captivating. The way she carried herself and talked just caught her attention without fail. She spoke so openly and honestly, but the constant rhyming always made it seem like there was something else just barely hiding underneath the surface, practically begging to be uncovered. It was something Daring Do wanted to find out for herself.

Once she got back, then she could ask all the questions she wanted. Where she was from, what brought her to Ponyville, what kind of places she’s been to, what kind of flowers she likes...

“DAMNIT!” Daring scrambled to grab the notebook out of Rainbow’s hooves.

Rainbow willingly forfeited the book, chuckling with the sense of relief that she wasn’t the only one struggling.

In the dead of night, two shadows snuck around the dorm rooms in Ponyville, keeping close to the walls until they stopped in front of one of the doors.

“This isn’t going to work.” Cozy Glow shook her head.

“You’re just saying that because you’re scared of me taking the lead,” Chrysalis scoffed.

“Well, knowing them, it might work, I just hope it doesn’t to spite you.”

“Just unlock the door.”

Cozy pulled out some thin needles, and stuck them into the keyhole of the lock. After a few clicks, she pushed the door open.

“There, open says me.”

Chrysalis’s horn glowed as she transformed, making sure the magical glow wasn’t visible from inside the room before sneaking inside.

Sandbar slowly turned from one side to the other in his sleep, until he felt something nudging him.

“Saaaandbaaaar…” he could hear a voice calling out to him, one that was very familiar to him.

The sleeping stallion smacked his lips, slowly opening his eyes. He could feel a huge weight looming over him, but with his waking mind and the lack of light, he couldn’t quite tell who it was.

“Yona want you, Sandbar…”

“Nnn...ok…” Sandbar absentmindedly nodded. “What do you want me for?”

“Yona want to ride you, Sandbar! No, Yona need to!”

“But babe...we gotta wait…till the end of the...month...” Sandbar lifted up a hoof, weakly trying to push Yona off of him.

“Y-Yona can’t wait...Yona want pony now!”

Sandbar let out a long yawn. “A-alright...just...don’t wake up Gallus, k?”

Internally, Chrysalis was ecstatic at how easy it seemed. She grinded her hips against Sandbar, sliding back and forth on his limp shaft.

Sandbar let out half-hearted grunts of arousal, his mind still half-asleep. The feeling of Yona’s hips was definitely doing the job of getting him hard, but the pillows were so soft…

Once Sandbar was fully erect, Chrysalis wasted no time riding the sleepy stallion, though she slowly bounced up and down in order to make sure that she didn’t accidentally break his waist with all the yak weight she was throwing around.

“Hnn...gosh that feels good…” Sandbar moaned, closing his eyes.

Chrysalis let out a soft, sinister chuckle, already eager to rub her victory in Cozy’s face, until she realized that Sandbar wasn’t moaning anymore. Instead, all she heard was snoring. She looked down, finding that he had fallen back asleep while still inside her.

“...Fuck, it won’t count if he’s still asleep.” Chrysalis was about to wake Sandbar up again, but the grumbling from the other bed told her she didn’t have much time left. She quickly shifted back, crawling out of the dorm room before Gallus woke up.

“Wait...no...come back…” Sandbar mumbled, listlessly waving his hooves in the air.

“Shaddap…!’ Gallus climbed down from his bunk, his eyes barely open. “I was having a great dream about Professor Applejack until ya fucking ruined it…” he grumbled, his brain still mostly asleep. Neither of the guys noticed the open door in their dorm room.

As the former queen was exiting, Cozy Glow watched at the door with a smug grin on her face.

“Shut up, I still have a Plan B,” Chrysalis preemptively replied.

Cozy broke into the next room, with Chrysalis transforming and sneaking in.

Yona found herself woken up by a deep voice in her ear.

“Oh Yoooonaaaa…”

Yona let out a snort as she opened her eyes to something big and green standing in front of her. “S-Sandbar?”

The pony in front of her looked like Sandbar, same messy green hair, but he was twice the size of the stallion that Yona was used to, with a rippling physique and rugged facial hair to boot.

The stallion chuckled. “Who else would it be?”

“P-Pony huge…” Yona managed to stammer out.

“Been working out. Now come on, let’s have some fun before you wake up for real.”

It only took a few seconds of tired thinking for Yona to believe the lie. She turned around, inviting Sandbar for a ride.

Chrysalis was thankful that these tired minds were so easy to trick. With Yona standing up, there was hopefully less chance of her falling asleep.

Yona could feel Sandbar mounting her, prompting a quiet moan of pleasure. “Oooh...pony really huge…”

“I thought you’d like it that way…” Sandbar chuckled, giving Yona a playful slap to her butt.

As Yona felt Sandbar start thrusting, Yona’s butt started bouncing.

Sandbar kept his hooves on Yona’s hips, trying to go along with her rhythm as he pumped his thick shaft in and out.

“Mmm...best dream ever…!” Yona was practically jumping in place, causing the whole bedroom to rumble.

Chrysalis looked over to the bunk bed, hoping that all this shaking and noise wouldn’t wake Ocellus up. But so long as she succeeded in her plan, she could probably make a hasty escape and cut her losses there. She could sense Yona getting close, she just needed a little push to get there.

“Aaaaah!” When Yona felt Sandbar go in as far as he could, she let out a happy cry of pleasure. She started bucking around, causing even more localized tremors.

“W-Woah, woaaaaah! Yaaah!” Chrysalis tried to hold steady, but even while half-awake, the yak’s strength was overwhelming. One good lift of her hind legs sent her flying out.

As soon as she saw Chrysalis’s forced ejection, Cozy closed the door. “Golly! Zero for two tonight, that’s impressive!” she grinned, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

“Shut up, you still haven’t beaten me yet.”

All the shaking and yelling finally woke Ocellus up. “Ugh...what’s going on?” She grumbled, peering over the edge of her bunk, rubbing her eyes.

Yona looked around confused, also starting to fully wake up. “Wait, where Sandbar go?”

“You were just dreaming, Yona…” Ocellus sighed. “Just go back to sleep…”
