Fashion in Stripes

Applejack’s eyelids twitched as the light of the sun shining through the open windows of the castle fell upon her luscious form while a light breeze gently blew into the bedchamber. Even before she fully awoke the scent of wonderful sex filled her lungs bringing a smile onto her face. Slowly she shifted on the bed accidently uncovering part of her body in the process. Now she could feel the sun’s warmth on one of her exposed nipples which slowly grew hard as the air licked at it. That feeling brought forth a low moan as she slowly arched her back slightly, feeling more delight as the fabric of the sheets rubbed against the form it still covered, sending her those small waves of pleasure.

No longer able to deny that the sun was up, Applejack opened her eyes. Calmly she rose into a sitting position on the bed, the sheets pooling near her hips as she did so. Taking in another deep breath, the earth pony raised one of her arms high into the arm in order to stretch them out causing her moan and allowing her upper body to be on full display. The mare’s firm, well rounded breasts jiggled with the motion. Below them, her stomach stretched as well, showing off how much that had changed in recent years. At one point, there had been a six pack that put nearly all of Equestria to shame. But thanks in part to their new zebra friends, that was no longer the case. Using their amazing oils, the obvious sign of her muscles had vanished leaving behind a smooth stomach that looked like it had just the right amount of fat to give her that perfect shape. The same was true with her arms, the hardened muscles replaced with something much softer. Of course, she was still as strong as she had always been as she was still able to beat all the stallions in the guard in arm wrestling and, well, everything else for that matter. All the oils did was to give her the touch and appearance of something far softer.

At least for those oils.

As for the rest of her, she looked pretty much the same. She still had her green eyes that reminded her of the skin of a granny smith apple and freckles that one could hardly miss. Her golden mane was still as long as ever, though right now it wasn’t tied but clinging to her back. The same went for her tail, still hidden under the sheets, as it pressed against her legs.

For a moment Applejack tilted her head to the side until she heard a loud crack followed by a very pleasant feeling coursing down her spine. For a brief moment, she closed her eyes to savor that tingling sensation before they opened and looked down at the bed next to her. It was empty, the warm bodies she had been nuzzled up with while the stars had been out were now gone. Shining Armor she could understand as that stallion was mighty busy. It was not uncommon for him to rise before the sun did to take care of this or that, checking with his councilors before beginning his day’s duties.

Even more so today given what was to happen.

A smile graced Applejack’s lips, one hand reaching down to the spot where her beloved had laid while the other one reached down to touch her sex as she remembered how this had begun.

Flashback[/hr]

Applejack, dressed in a button up red and black checkered shirt and tight fitting jeans, made her way across the castle grounds as the light of the fall sun fell upon her. Even from a distance, anyone could see the amount of dirt that was caked into her hooves and under her nails while her jeans had their own stains. She was sure that the stallions escorting her on either side could smell both the sweet scent of apples clinging to her as well as the sweat from a hard weeks’ work.

As she moved, it was hard not to notice some of the changes that had been done to this place now that Shining Armor had taken command of Equestria. While the majority of the troops were members of the original three tribes of ponies, it was easy to spot the new additions that had been brought in when Twilight briefly reigned. Off to the side, she spotted Gallus being fitted in armor while a Kirin stallion she had never seen before spun a spear his hand so quickly that it must have been a blur to most. In another direction, Applejack spotted Flash Magnus in the air as he was training some Hippogriffs and Pegasi to work in formation. She even spotted a couple of the massive zebra studs, doing push-ups along with other trainees under the watchful eye of Rockhoof who watched them all with a stoic expression.

Then there were the mares. Those who had chosen to defend Equestria were also fitted with armor like the males around them, though Applejack could spot some differences. For one thing, instead of the armor plated pants they wore short chainmail skirts. The sort that the apple farmer could see their glistening slits winking wildly, their juices dripping down their thighs, as they trained. As for their upper armor, they had all been enchanted to make them as form fitting as possible. The golden armor seemed welded to their bodies, acting like a second layer of skin that proudly promoted their various sized breasts. Those who weren’t training at the moment were spotted off to the side, standing in line. The front of the line began at a tent that might have passed for a medical tent as Applejack noted the number of beds inside as well as various bottles on shelves. However, the symbol of the sides of the tent were not the red cross nor was it any other emblem that could have passed for a healer that Applejack was aware of. No, on its sides was a painted face mask that reminded Applejack of the ones in Zecora’s hut. What it meant, she had no idea. All she knew was that the mares who were waiting to get in looked flustered, several of them playing with their exposed pussies with their hands or the grips of their weapons as they waited.

“Come on, I know you can do better! You’re not giving me a hundred and ten percent!” The shout caught Applejack’s attention. Turning her head, she spotted the stallion she had traveled all this way to see: Shining Armor. The new semi-ruler of Equestria was dressed in sweats, clipboard in hand as he walked around the training ground. On occasion he would pause to examine what was happening at certain areas before making a note or three.

Raising a hand high into the air, the farmer mare waved to get his attention. Which it did, the stallion flashing her a smile as he saw her approaching. His horn then lit up, his clipboard vanished in a brilliant flash of light before meeting her half way.

“AJ! Been a while,” he said as he extended a hand out to shake. “How was the harvest this year? Everything went smoothly I hope.”

Grinning, AJ took his hand with her own. For a moment, the two had a small contest of strength which she found interesting. For a unicorn he had some good muscle. Sign of a hard worker. And here she thought he might have gone soft after becoming Prince of Equestria.

“Yep. Just finished filling the last of the barrels this mornin’. Them new zebra helpers we got made things mighty easy this go ‘round,” she said as they released their hold at the same time. “Managed to get all them fields in record time. Though I ain’t sure we’ll be able to sell them all in the Ponyville market. Would seem like a shame to have them just rot away.”

“Might not have to,” said Shining as he gestured for Applejack to follow him. She did, quickly realizing they were heading in the direction of the zebra tent. “I happen to know some influential zebras who have become fond of your family’s produce. If you want, I can get you in touch with them or I can speak on your behalf. Either way, I’m positive they would appreciate a direct line to such high quality goods.”

AJ blushed at the compliment as they stopped, now several yards away from the ten. “Thank ya kindly there mister.”As she spoke, the farmer mare could take in the exotic scents coming from the nearby tent. The scents that tickled her nose seemed to draw her attention, alluring her curiosity as to what was inside. At the same time, she could feel her own sex tingle slightly but she managed to push that to the side as she listened to the stallion before her.

“Now, while it’s great to see you again, I know you didn’t come all the way over here to brag about how good of a harvest you had,” said Shining Armor, a slightly concerned look appearing on his face. At the same time, he reached out to gently grab her shoulder in a comforting manner. “Did something happen? Because, if something did, you know I’ll do everything in my power to help.

“Well, nothing ‘happened’ happened,” admitted Applejack with a heavy sigh before breathing in more of the scents from the tent. A warmth began to grow in her chest, slowly spreading through her core. “Just a concern me, Pinkie, an’ Rainbow been having about Twi. Still haven’t heard a peep from her in ages.”

“Applejack,” began Shining with a frown, but AJ held up a hand quickly to cut him off. Not caring at all that he was technically her sovereign.

“Look, Ah get you’re under a heap of pressure from Celestia an’ Luna about this,” continued the apple mare with an apologetic look. “So Ah understand having me here to gripe about it ain’t the sort of thing ya want ta’ hear right now. It’s just, well, ah’m worried is all.” Applejack locked eyes with Shining Armor’s. “Ah get why she did what she did. Heck, for as long as Ah’ve known her, she’s always been the type to go to extremes. She’s the type to wrapped up in her studies, the type that loses all track of what’s around her when it comes ta learnin’ in such. But with Rares and Flutters down there, becoming zebras as well, just feels like she should be checking in with them at least. Last letter they sent me, nothing. So Ah’m just getting a tad more concerned is all.”

As Applejack spoke, she watched the face of Shining Armor carefully. At first he looked at her with a frown filled with annoyance. Yet as she spoke, the stallion’s features softened. His shoulders, that had been held tightly, visibly relaxed.

“Thank you for that,” he finally said, a hand on his stomach as he let out a sad laugh. “It’s refreshing to hear concerns about my sister without me being accused of wrongdoing by my former, retired bosses.”

Applejack frowned at that. “They still on about that?”

“Yeah, and it doesn’t look like it’ll be ending anytime soon,” replied Shining Armor with a sigh. This earned a snort from the orange mare.

“Horse feathers Ah say,” she said while shaking her head so hard that her braid swayed from side to side, lightly smacking her side as it did. “Ah’ve known ya for a while so Ah can say how much Ah know family means ta ya. Ya ain’t the type that would betray family without somepony messing with your head.”

“Whelp, according to the fifteen magical examinations I’ve already gone through, nopony is messing with my head,” said the stallion with a sad laugh. As he began to move, Shining wrapped an arm around the small of Applejack’s back, the gesture causing her to jump a little. Not because she disliked it or thought it was inappropriate. Rather, she rather liked it more than she thought she ought to. At that moment, she wanted just to lean closer to him so that she could feel his arm wrapping around her fully so that there would be no space between them. To hold her like he-

“Listen Applejack,” said Shining Armor, which snapped the mare out of her thoughts. Though her blush remained as he spoke in a low voice so that no one else could hear them. “I shouldn’t be talking to anypony about an ongoing investigation. But, since you’re Twily’s friend, let me assure you that she’s fine. Right now, she’s the first mare in a long time to give birth to a princess. You can understand why that’s a big deal for them. Meaning they want to keep her safe at all costs. I also heard from Prince Dreiga himself that Twily is hard at work learning all of their history and customs along with everything she needs, or at least what she thinks she’ll need, to be a good mother. She wants to be the very best zebra princess and mother she can be. For her new family. I know if there is anypony out there that would understand this, it would be you.”

As he said this last part, a small smile appeared on Shining’s face as he looked into her green eyes. Staring back, AJ felt her cheeks warm up just a tad more. Then her breath got caught in her throat as she felt something new. It should have been a little thing really, just Shining Armor’s fingers moving up a bit and accidently moving their way under her slightly untucked shirt. Really, it shouldn’t have been that big of a deal as she had shown off her body plenty of times when she went to the lake, rolled up her shirt a tad on hot days, and even had some colt or Spike rub lotion on her when she asked nicely. So why oh why did she feel those little electric tingles of pleasure as well as that warmth in her core growing from such a gentle caress of his finger tips. And why was there a part of her afraid that he might not like her muscular form? That feeling them would make him back off and stop what he was doing.

Swallowing hard, Applejack managed to somehow shake away those thoughts as she spoke. “Ah suppose you’re right,” she said. She did understand family and family always came first. She understood the value of traditions as well as the meaning tied to them, though she would admit there were times when she placed more value on her own traditions at times. Plus, this was Twi, one of her best friends in all of Equestria! The mare who would spend literal days locked away from the rest of the world as she took every book off her shelves and would then find a new way to reorganize them! The mare that once became so engrossed with her studies that she didn’t know that Spike had left to help out Applejack. Also, knowing Twilight, the mare was probably panicking enough without them pestering her for a letter. She remembered how stressed the mare became in the days and weeks after becoming an alicorn as well as what happened when her time to ascend to the throne drew closer. No doubt she was going through all that again.

Just then, Shining gave her side the lightest of squeezes nearly causing her to let out a moan. Why did that feel so good? Regardless, the farmer looked at the prince with an apologetic look. “Well, not ta put too much pressure on ya, but if ya hear anything…”

“You’ll be the first to know,” assured Shining, looking serious at first before a slightly more goofy look took over his features. “Well, after Celestia and Luna get done dissecting it of course.”

Applejack began to chuckle at that, but was then interrupted by the sound coming from inside the tent. It was a loud cry, the cry of a mare followed by rattling. Instincts kicked in as AJ ran away from Shining Armor to get to the front of the tent with her fists clenched tightly, ready for whatever.

What she found after opening up the tent flap, however, caused her to halt in confusion so quickly that she nearly tripped over her own hooves. On either side of the tent were a collection of shelves, all handmade and all of them of clearly different styles. It was as if somepony had gone to several second hand shops and bought as many as they could. Each shelf contained a number of different oddities: glass jars containing roots or flowers, others containing various liquids with zebra symbols painted on them, as well as jars that did not reveal anything about their contents. On her right, a large caldron sat with its contents steaming up and filling the air. Breathing in the scent of the tent caused those feelings AJ had been experiencing to grow a hundred fold. Just being in this tent like this made her want to get her pants off, fall onto her knees, and begin rubbing her pussy until she came a dozen or so times! Or, better yet, to just spread her legs so that the larger, thicker fingers of a stallion could penetrate her. To feel his chest against her back, one hand playing with her breast while his other hand stroked her flames of desire all while she panted desperately for her release! But she managed to resist these new desires as her eyes fell on the other two in the tent.

Opposite of the caldron was something that looked like a restraining table with a mare bound to it. The table was padded, designed in a way that kept one’s arms outstretched and legs pulled apart in a Y formation. As for the mare herself, she was a Kirin. Her coat was white with green like scales here and there much like her friend Autumn Blaze. However, her mane and the fluff at the end of her tail was a bright blue as were her eyes. She lay there, strapped to the table completely naked as she let out another cry while arching her back. When she landed back on the table her large breasts jiggled, her thick hard nipples pointing to everything around her. And standing over her was a zebra mare. The zebra was bent over, holding what looked like an eye dropper filled with a bright pink liquid over the Kirin’s exposed clit. With her delicate striped fingers, she squeezed the dropper so that a tiny spec could fall on the cluster of nerves. The effect was instantaneous as the Kirin let out another cry, thrashing about on the table while her clit seemed to grow in size.

Seeing this, the zebra mare stood up straight allowing AJ to see her in her full glory. Despite her braided mane being mostly white, she held the face of a mare closer into her late thirties than anything else. Speaking of her mane, it was braided yet pulled back and tied at the back of her head. No doubt to make sure that it would not get in her way. As for her clothing, there was barely anything there. Her top looked like it was supposed to be a button up shirt only minus the buttons and the holes that were supposed to go with it. This kept the transparent material open, allowing her full D-cup breasts to be easily accessible while also showing off her smooth rounded belly. As for her bottom, she seemed to be wearing what could best be described as a hip cape of the same transparent material. Like with the shirt, her sex was exposed as was the tattoo right above it.

“Sorry, but you’ll have to wait your turn,” said the zebra mare as she turned around before walking away from the bound mare. “I just started the treatment on this one and need to see it through without interruption to ensure the best results.”

“Ah’m not…what the Sam Hill…,” stammered Applejack as she tried to make sense out of what she was seeing. An act she found hard as her head felt like she was swimming in a sea of something soft and warm. Then, a firm hand landed on her shoulder. The hand of Shining Armor.

“Applejack,” he said in a friendly tone. “Don’t worry. Everything is fine.” For a moment, AJ felt compelled to just go along with what the Prince of Equestria was saying. His words almost seemed to reverberate in her mind, chasing away thoughts of resistance. As she took another breath, her head feeling lighter, she almost allowed herself to be led out with his firm hands holding onto her. Yet she managed to shake that off as she took a step back, instantly missing the warmth of his touch.

“Sure don’t look fine ta me!” she stated just as the Kirin let out another moan, the sound of which along with a blast of the scent of sex causing her legs to tremble slightly. “What are ya all doing ta her?”

Shining kept his gaze focused on her and her alone as he moved closer. “Blazing Wave is part of the Royal Guard Initiative.”

“The Royal Guard Initiative?” echoed Applejack in confusion. She had never heard of such a thing before.

“It’s a very recent program I created before our former princesses returned to Canterlot,” said Shining Armor with a nod. “To put it simply the dwindling male population has caused certain issues with many of the jobs normally heralded by stallions. Jobs such as construction and other psychically demanding labor. And while mares are trotting into those fields, they are still far too few to make up the gap. Sadly, this has also led to a major drop in recruitment to the Royal Guard. So much so that when I became Captain of the Royal Guard several of our bases and outposts had to be abandoned because they couldn’t be fully staffed.” Hearing that caused Applejack’s eyes to widen in surprise while Shining Armor lowered his own gaze.

“One of those stations was placed near our border where the Storm King’s forces passed through. Had it not been abandoned, we might have been able to send a warning to Canterlot. To mobilize our forces in order to better deal with that threat. After the Storm King was defeated, attempts were made to have them staffed once more but there were not enough guards to fill them all to the point where they could be charitably considered a skeleton crew and protect the capital. And one thing that myself, Celestia, and Twily all agreed it would be wrong to conscript ponies into service.” Shining Armor then let out another sigh as he shook his head. “Not that keeping the majority of our forces here has done us any good. Most of the time, they were asked to keep guard over libraries or to act as additional security for cake eating contests and the like. Not to mention a certain…complacency that crept up. Most of the Guard began to relax a little too much for my tastes, believing that the Elements would stop any problem that would arrive.”

At that, Applejack’s cheeks began to burn as she looked away. “Sorry about that,” she said while lowering her hat a tad.

Thankfully, Shining waved it off. “It’s not your fault AJ. You, Twily, and the rest never asked to become Equestria’s defenders. It just sort of happened. But, we can’t rely on the Elements forever. We have already begun retraining our forces thanks to the new Captain Flash Magnus and the stallions we’re getting from Zebraca are helping. But we need to be doing more. We, at the very least, need to ensure that we will have a strong force to protect our lands from enemy threats in the future. That’s where the Royal Guard Initiative comes into play. To put it simply, we will be literally giving birth to a new generation of soldiers.”

Applejack’s mouth hung open when she heard that, her heart pounding in her chest. Quickly she looked over that the Kirin bound to the table with a look of horror at what they were no doubt doing to her. She began picturing her, bound to some steel frame that kept her on all fours and kept in some cell or stable while they injected her with drugs that would make her more fertile. The Kirin’s breasts swelling as milk began to fill them until the point where she needed to be milked by some machine. Then, she would be treated as nothing more than breeding livestock. Kept immobile as they bred her over and over again until they confirmed that she was with foal. Yet, what was shocking was that the more the Apple mare thought about it the more aroused she became. The more she began to replace the image of the Kirin with herself in those bounds. The fantasy of having a-

Quickly she shook her head to banish such thoughts. However she could not hide the dampness growing between her legs as she turned to look at her friend’s brother.

“How could ya force her ta do something like that?!?” she demanded. Shining Armor, however, merely raised an eyebrow before walking deeper into the tent only to stop next to the Kirin.

“I think you might have the wrong idea here,” he began. “The idea for the Initiative was based around the same idea of the Mares Quarters and the breeding program that the zebra are using. As such, all ponies in our program have done so of their own free will. Each and every one of them sat down with a recruitment officer for the Initiative to go over what would be happening. Those who agreed were even given a contract to sign, stating that they have been fully informed and that they agreed to commit to the program. Nopony is being forced to do anything they didn’t agree to. Isn’t the right Blazing?”

The Kirin didn’t answer at first, instead taking several deep breaths as if to help clear her mind or to get her thoughts in order. Then, she spoke. “Yes. I want this. I want this so badly.” Once she had finished speaking, Shining moved back towards AJ and placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Look, I know how this must sound to you,” he said with a slight smile. “But, it’s not like we’re going to be treating them like animals or anything. We’re not going to be sticking mares into walls so that any of our stallions can rut them whenever. Hardly! No, all mares and stallions will be going through a screening process in order to ensure that both parties will be safe while creating a new life. And once the mare has been confirmed pregnant, my government will be taking care of them. A special housing district has been set up for all of the mares who have signed up for this, each one getting their own four bedroom home close to the noble district. That’s some of the finest real estate in Canterlot! What’s more, all their needs will be taken care of. The mothers will be given weekly funds to help raise their foals as well as training them. And the foals themselves? We are building a new school here in Canterlot just for them where they will be provided the highest levels of education around!”

Applejack stared at the white unicorn in amazement as that all sounded mighty good. While she was never one to fuss about learning all that much, the fact that Princess Celestia only made one school and that it was for gifted unicorns had always rubbed her the wrong way. Just never seemed fair to favor one tribe of pony. But more than that, getting a nice big house to raise a family along with funds? Bet they would never have to worry about choosing what was more important: a leaky roof or Ganny’s hip. Still…

“And what if the foal doesn’t want ta fight?” she asked, her tone dead serious.

“Ah, well, we thought of that,” said Shining as he flashed a smile. “While we are hoping that the genetic makeup of the parents will help the foal lean more into that profession, it’s not a guarantee. Thankfully, there are plenty of areas within the military that they can be moved to. Anything from working a desk job to being an engineer aboard one of our zeppelins! And if they do want to strike it out on their own, well, I would suggest to them that they spend at least four years in the service so that they can rake up some extra bits as well as the potential of getting a recommendation.”

Applejack nodded, swallowing hard before gesturing to the Kirin. “An this?” she asked.

“Oh just the first step in the screening process,” replied Shining Armor in a matter-of-fact tone. He then looked ready to continue, but stopped himself while rubbing his chin. “You know, maybe it would be better if you could see the entire process. Would that be ok with you doctor?”

The zebra mare, who had been writing in her chart, shrugged her shoulders without looking up at the prince. “I certainly don’t mind,” she replied before swearing in her native tongue, scratching out something she had just written. “Just as long as the next mare consents.”

The next mare, did in fact, consent. She was a thestral mare named Moonlit Blade. Very fitting because her silver coat reminded Applejack of moonbeams. As for her mane, the arctic blue strands were cut short and her hair styled so that they covered one of her eyes. Once she entered the tent, Moonlit began stripping herself of her armor, allowing each piece to fall unceremoniously to the floor without the doc ever saying a word. With each piece removed, Applejack got a better idea of what kind of mare she was. Moonlit’s muscles were lean, but well defined in a similar way to Rainbow’s. The farmer mare could tell she was strong, more so than what most would assume. But, more than that, she was no doubt faster than a normal flier. As for her breasts, they were nothing to brag about as they were barely even a handful. So much so that she might be considered flat chested.

When she finished, Moonlit stood there showing off her body to the three without so much as a blush. Like she had little shame. Though, if AJ was being honest, this was something that she was noticing more and more as of late. Ever since Twi left and the zebra’s began making their presence more known in Equestria, mares had been more keen on displaying what they had. Many had begun dressing less and less, wearing the sorts of things that would have made Rares faint. At least, the old Rarity.

Now nude, the zebra doctor asked Moonlit to sit on the examination table so that they could begin. It started pretty normally as the zebra checked Moonlit’s temperature, listened to her heart, examined her throat, felt her wings, and even looked at her ears. Once that was finished, the zebra wrote several things down in her notes, proclaiming that the mare was healthy.

Then, things became a little weird as the doctor asked Moonlit to spread her legs as far as she could. The mare nodded, reaching under her legs and seeming to pull them while leaning back as if to give unrestricted access to her sex. The doctor pulled out a small jar from her pocket, taking off the cork as she bent down to examine the dripping sex before her. It was clear she had been playing with herself before she came in. Not that the zebra minded it at all, dipping twin fingers into the small jar in order to cover the digits in something that had the same color and texture as honey. Without a word, those fingers entered the thestral’s passage causing Moonlit’s grip on her legs to tighten while her breath hitched. Bat wings stiffed as the doc began to move back and forth creating a series of squelching noises as well as throaty moans.

After several minutes of this, the striped mare removed her now bare fingers only to have them re enter the jar to collect more of the goop before repeating the process. Over and over again she did this, the bat mare’s head soon thrashing back and forth as she continued to pant. Applejack could see sweat gathering on her silver coat as her body trembled. How long had this went on? Applejack didn’t know as she lost track of time watching, feeling her own sex growing wet from the sight. She could feel her own cheeks darkening, a part of her wondering how good it would feel to have that done to her.

By the time the zebra doctor stood up and walked away, Applejack found herself now holding onto Shining’s shoulder while her cheeks burned due to her heavy blush. The farmer’s breathing became heavier, taking in more of the scent within the tent as her eyes returned to the mostly naked zebra as she seemed to find what she was looking for: a clay jar large enough that it needed to be held with two hands. From where she stood, the earth mare could not see what was inside, only that a brush was poking out of it.

Calmly, the zebra sat the jar next to Moonlit before telling her to relax. The bat mare did as instructed, releasing her legs so that she was now sprawled on the table in a panting heap. The doctor then wasted no time, reaching down to cup one of the tiny breasts laying before her. AJ’s eyes seemed to zoom in on the image, watching the scene unfold as if it were happening directly in front of her. She watched as those striped fingers squeezed those soft mini-mounds before pulling at them. Then, for some reason, they were slapped hard enough to get the mare to cry out earning a brief smile from the doc. Several more smacks were delivered before the doctor extended a single finger to caress the flesh by moving in slow circles around the base before spiraling upwards. No longer able to help herself, AJ’s hand reached up to cup her own breast as she watched Moonlit’s nipples harden from the touch while her ears picked up her moans and coos. A whine then escaped the thestral when the finger reached her nipple, circling around it several times before giving it a powerful flick.

Nodding as though she was satisfied, the doctor pulled out the brush from the jar. A black liquid coated the tip of the brush, causing it to drip slightly as it was moved over to the mare. Contact was soon made as slow strokes were made to Moonlit’s breasts causing said mare to gasp, her back arching somewhat as her hands gripped the edges of the table.

“So that the young may grow strong,” murmured the doctor as she continued to draw a dark pattern on the silver coat. It looked like two sets of wavy lines somewhat resembling rippling water with triangular shapes in-between them. Moonlit seemed almost completely out of it, her wide eyes staring at the ceiling with tears forming along the corners. Her mouth was open as if in a silent scream. Yet, AJ could see that the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. She was enjoying this. Once the zebra mare was finished, she placed the brush back into the pot before putting it away and grabbing a different, smaller pot. Another brush was removed, this time revealing a semi clear liquid. With great skill, she coated the tips of Moonlit’s breasts with the new substance causing the thestral’s pupils to shrink. Her back suddenly arched, hands moving to grip the sides of the table as she came. As her sex began gushing out fluids, her breasts began to change as well. The patterns painted on them began to spin, causing the mounds to wobble about while expanding. They had gone from tiny A cups to large, full C cups that held that perfect shape. Even the nipples had grown, from being tiny specks to large nubs that begged to be sucked.

When the orgasm ended, the doctor began to move Moonlit so as to strap her down. As the first cuff was tightly fastened to the wrist, AJ noticed that the markings on the breasts had vanished. As the doctor moved to bind the next wrist, Applejack began to understand what was going on. They weren’t just checking her to make sure she was healthy. They were making sure that her body was ready for what was to happen. That as well as ensuring that everything would be as pleasurable as possible.

From there, Applejack could no longer take her eyes off the sight before her. She watched as new oils were spread across the mare’s body, seeming to destroy all the muscle mass the mare had. Hardened abbs became a soft, well rounded stomach while her arms and legs took on a more feminine appearance. Though Applejack didn’t know if the doc was talking to her, Moonlit, or everyone in the room, it was explained that this was more for the sake of appearance. That she would remain strong and powerful even during her elder age. With that finished, the thestral’s clit was next.

When Moonlit was finished, a guard came to take her away. Gently taking her hand, Shining Armor led the way to show her more of what the Royal Guard Initiative had in store. Out the tent they went where a set of wooden doors that the farmer mare had failed to notice before stood. They seemed to open on their own, revealing a spiral stone stairway that seemed to lead deep into the mountain. Down and down they went, the way lit by touches that seemed to produce a pleasant scent that made Applejack’s head spin. So much so that if it weren’t for Shining Armor holding her, she most likely would have tripped over her own hooves.

When they reached the bottom there was a tunnel with a bright light at the end. It was there the four ponies went, finding not a cavernous dungeon by a grassy peninsular edge halfway down the mountain. The place was large, easily able to hold up an entire neighborhood from Ponyville with a peaceful little pond smack dab in the middle surrounded by several two story wooden cabins. Walking down the lone dirt path, AJ could spot a handful of mares outside. Some were just laying there on the grass, soaking up the rays of the sun, while a few others were in the pond as they splashed at each other while laughing happily. The country mare also noticed a few close to the ledge, caressing their bodies sensually as they looked out at the sprawling landscape.

It was in one of these cabins that they brought Moonlit to, seemingly at random. Inside they walked past another mare who was bouncing upon a stallion’s shaft, his hands on her hips while seated in a chair by the window. It was clear by both the smell and the amount of sweat on their bodies that they had been at this for a while, filling her pussy with as much cum as possible. Neither of them paid the party any mind, continuing to fuck without a care in the world as Moonlit was brought to her own room. Inside a bed took up much of the room there, but with just a glance AJ could tell that it was better than the one she had. There, they laid her gently, allowing her time to rest before her new life truly began.

End Flashback[/hr]

A hum escaped Applejack lips as her hand continued to caress her body. That was when it all started for her. She could vaguely recall what happened after that, one moment she was with Shining Armor as he led her around the ground and the next minute they were back at the training fields. Not that it bothered or scared her any, since she knew she was in good hands. Hands she could trust.

After that, Applejack felt a compulsion to return and see Shining Armor. For the first several times, they followed a similar pattern: asking about Twi and the others followed by asking Shining how things were going with him. Time to time he would complain about this or that, making a slight joke that made her giggle. Then there were times he would get excited, talking about how one of the mares in the Initiative had been moved from the mountain side cabins to their new home. About how much promise it was showing as well as the fact that he had mares asking how this would work if they wanted to give birth once more.

Then, little by little, those meetings seemed to just change. It was no longer business and the like, but just her wanting to spend time with Shining Armor. In some ways, he reminded her of her own brother. A hard worker, strong in his own way, and with a bit of a nerdy side she liked to tease. And soon, the pair found themselves doing much more than just talking.

Flashback[/hr]

Applejack grinned as she bounced in place, keeping her eyes locked onto Shining’s as sweat dripped down their brows. Both ponies were panting heavily yet neither was willing to stop. Not just yet at least.

Then, Shining moved to close the distance between the pair. The farmer mare saw this coming a mile away, throwing a glove covered fist his way. She put all her might into that blow, stepping forward to close the distance while adding more force. If it connected, the prince would be knocked down. However, Shining Armor had been a member of the Royal Guard and seemed to have read what she had planned to do well before the thought entered her mind. As such he ducked under the punch to deliver several powerful jabs to her side. This, in turn, caused the mare to stumble to the side just as Armor stuck out a hoof to trip her.

Groaning from her spot on the ground, AJ looked up in time to see Shining bent down to offer up a gloved hand. Like this, she could see his bare muscular chest that still had several large beads of sweat running down and onto his dark blue boxer shorts. His mane was also damp, slicked back with a bandanna wrapped around it just below the horn.

“Need a hand?” he asked playfully. Grinning slightly, Applejack took it. Now standing still and the match over, she could feel just how sweaty she herself was. Looking down, she noticed that her black sports bra was drenched in so much sweat that her nipples could be seen. Below that was her matching short shorts, so short and low on fabric that they might as well be considered panties. It was strange to think about how much things had changed. Before Twi had left, she would have been doing something like this with a pair of sweatpants or shorts that went down to her knees along with a torn shirt that stopped right at her abs. But now? Well, she didn’t mind too much showing off a tad more skin. Besides, she had seen far worse than this on her way to the castle!

Both ponies took a few steps away from each other, placing their gloved hands behind their heads as they began to walk around the ring. Currently the two were in a mixed martial arts gym that Shining Armor had built for the castle guards and staff to take advantage of before and after their shifts. It was large, having been one of several dozen sitting rooms within the castle but located far enough away from the others so as to not disrupt or interfere with the others. In the middle was the full sized boxing ring that she now stood in. To the right of her were two rows of ten various weight lifting equipment as well as a few punching bags. On her left were a large number of treadmills and pedaling machines.

As she continued to walk around, AJ looked towards the back of the room where the only other occupant of the room stood. It was a zebra mare who had once been a unicorn filly the apple farmer knew very well: Sweetie Belle. The filly who had once caused so much trouble around Ponyville stood there between the twin entrances that lead into the unisex locker room and shower. Sweetie wasn’t wearing the normal, traditional maid’s outfit that AJ had seen during her many previous trips to Canterlot. It still had a Prench maid’s skirt, though it was open mighty wide with one of them V cuts going from the top down, wide enough so that her DD breasts spilled out and were accessible to the world along with her stomach. It also exposed the nipple rings hanging from both black nubs with a metal tag in the shape of Shining Armor’s cutie mark on each. This marked her station as the Prince’s personal maid. Along her waist was a small white sash tied up just above the bottom of her skirt. Her legs, flank, and even pussy were completely exposed to the world. Her clit had also been pierced, once more marking her as Shining Armor’s.

Applejack found her gaze lingering more on the younger sister of one of her friends, marveling at the change caused by simple oils. She had been there, as a guest of Shining Armor, when she had been transformed before the crowd of nobles to prove that the process was safe. Standing next to the blue maned stallion, she had watched as two zebras had undressed the younger mare right there in the throne room until she stood as naked as the day she had been born. Though her cheeks had turned a slight hint of red, she didn’t protest none as she was then washed down with regular old water. Then had come the amber oils, a shudder running through Applejack’s body as she remembered how Sweetie had reacted the moment it came into contact with her coat. The younger mare moaned and cooed with delight, her juices dripping out the floor as she needed help standing due to the sheer level of pleasure they provided. Of the vacant look in the mare’s pleasure filled face as they laid her down before placing one of them zebra symbols right above her birthing hole. Once that had been completed, Sweetie was given time to recover as the oils began working their own brand of magic on her. After a time, the earth mare could see the color of Sweetie’s mane beginning to dull while her horn shrank. Not that Sweetie herself realized as she was busy deciding which of the several zebra studs that had been brought in would take her cherry before the gathered crowd. Three of the nine stallions there were chosen, one laying on the ground while two others stood next to the mare as she rode a mighty zebra shaft. Using both hands she stoked their members as she bounced, sucking on one black member before turning to the next. Zebra seed soon began to flow, shooting into the mare’s pussy, mouth, and upon her coat. Even her anus was used.

It was then that AJ saw the sight that she could never forget. From that symbol that the natural zebra mares had placed on Sweetie, came thick stripes that snaked their way across her body. Two shot up the mare’s stomach heading straight for her nipples to turn them black once they made contact. Her horn was visibly becoming smaller, its point becoming nothing more than a rounded bump while more stripes became situated across her body. The mare’s fingers alternated from black to white while her mane became black with white stripes. One of Applejack’s hands went to her breast, watching as those snake-like stripes moved towards the mare’s cutie mark. They latched onto it, draining it of all its color before replacing parts of it with spirals. As her destiny changed, so too did the last of her physical transformation. Her horn sank into her skull leaving a perfectly smooth head while her tail became that of a zebra.

While the others in the crowd cheered it on and asked Sweetie how she felt, Applejack was in a world of her own. She liked the way she looked just fine and dandy, having no real desire to change into a zebra. But this was now the second time that she had seen the magic of them oils first hand and the effect they had on a mare. Did they really feel that good? That was a question that would haunt AJ for many nights as she played with herself imagining that it was her under that spell.

The sound of Shining pounds his gloves together brought AJ back to the present. Seeing he was ready the two began to circle the other once more to continue their own brand of fun. As Shining sent out his first jab, Applejack felt a rush of excitement as she blocked it. It was nice finding a stallion other than her brother willing to throw down with her like this. Most of the fellas back home shied away when the subject was brought up, intimidated by her muscles and the strength she was well known for. But not Armor. He was up for the challenge and proved that he could bridge their gap in strength with technique as well as experience.

As the two continued their fight they lost track of time, too caught up in the thrill. But, eventually, their bodies told them that enough was enough. Even a mare like Applejack, who could spend all day in the fields bucking apples from the trees, knew she needed to call it quits.

“Alright, let’s hit the…AJ, something the matter?” asked Shining Armor, his words causing the orange coated mare to realize that her attention had drifted back to Sweetie. She must have been staring mighty intently for Shining to pick up on it.

“Oh, ah, it’s nothing ya have ta worry about,” said AJ quickly, taking off her gloves as she spoke. However, the look Shining Armor was giving her told her that he wasn’t buying it. Briefly, he glanced over at Sweetie and then back at her.

“You know, if you really want to do it there is no need to hold yourself back,” he said, surprising the country mare. “I mean, you don’t have to join Rarity, Fluttershy, and Twilight if you really want to become a zebra. I can easily do the transformation here so you can head back home when it’s-”

Applejack’s eyes widened, her hands raised to wave off the notion. “No, no. It ain’t nothing like that. I swear,” she said quickly. “Just, well, something about them changin’ like that has been rattlin’ in my head for a spell. Ah like bein’ a pony, but Ah was just wonderin’ what it was like.”

Shining’s surprised face relaxed a bit before smiling at her, causing several goosebumps to appear on her skin. “To be honest, I like you just the way you are now as well,” he said, causing the farmer mare to blush up a storm.

“Come on, enough kiddin’ around now,” she managed to say while averting her eyes. Something within her felt off, a warmth rising from within her chest when she heard those words. “Ya know Ah ain’t all that special ta look at. Not compared ta all the models runnin’ around these here parts. Ya even married a princess of love. So when ya compare her ta me, well, ya know ah don’t stand out all that much.”

As she began struggling to push that feeling within her down, the prince closed the distance between them before cupping the mare’s cheek. Now for some reason that touch sent a wave of pleasure through Applejack’s core as she became unable to stop him from lifting her head up to look at him. Their eyes locked while his hand began to caress her cheek in such a gentle manner that made her heart swoon, his thumb rubbing against her chin.

“Applejack, you are beyond special,” he said, speaking as though he were telling an irrefutable fact. “Before me stands a mare that embodies the very essence of country charm. A mare who is down to earth, hooves firmly planted on the ground and forged from knowing the value of hard work. One with a strong body and an even stronger heart. Willing to fight tooth and nail for their family. Trust me AJ, there are still far too many mares in Canterlot who barely hold a candle to you when compared to those traits. As for your looks, well, I would rather see you with those sexy freckles than stripes any day of the century. Honestly, had we met sooner back when Celestia was still our ruler, I would have had a hard time deciding between you and Cadence.”

“Ah…well…that is,” AJ stumbled with her words while her heart continued to pound rapidly in her chest. While being the Element of Honesty didn’t give her an internal lie detector as some thought, something about the way he said all that as well as the look in his eyes told her that he meant every single word. And to have those words, those feelings, expressed to her so honestly was a bit more than she ever expected.

It was then that Shining Armor made the move that would forever change her destiny. He closed the distance between them to place his lips upon hers. The moment she felt his touch caused a new form of warmth that she had never experienced before to rush through her veins. It started at the point of contact, her lips, before shooting all throughout her end and into her mind nearly causing it to crash. Returning the kiss caused that feeling to begin rushing down her spine before it was sent to every corner of her being.

Soon the kiss became more heated, more passionate than anything the country mare had ever experienced before. The prince’s hands moved behind her, one snaking its way to the small of her back before wrapping around it to keep them close. His other hand went for the mare’s flank, squeezing it. Applejack raised her arms while a small part of her mind told her that something wasn’t right. It continued to talk as her hands took hold of Shining’s sides, telling her to push him away and make a break for it. To get as far away from this place as possible. Yet that voice was silenced as AJ instead wrapped her arms around Shining while hooking a leg around one of his own. No, getting away from this was the last thing she wanted to do

But, as the need for air grew too strong, the two were forced to part. Both panting and with deep red blushes on their faces, they looked into the others eyes.

“Applejack, do you trust me?” asked Shiny.

“Ah…Ah do,” panted the orange mare.

Smiling, Shiny gently pulled them apart for each other while sending a signal to Sweetie Belle. What that signal was, AJ had no idea as her wrist was grabbed by her new potential lover. Still breathing hard she found herself being dragged off to the locker room. A single word could be used to describe this room: simple. On one side was a row of lockers, ten in total and each one large enough to hold a full sized stallion. In front of the lockers was a single long wooden bench to sit on. Then, on the other side, was a single massive shower with several shower heads coming out near the ceiling.

But there was something else in the room that she had missed when she had first entered this room to get changed earlier: a door in the very back. Now she could not miss it as it opened, revealing a pair of zebra mares. Both stood there, naked as the day they was born, each holding one of the clay jars Applejack had seen before between their breasts. For a moment, AJ could only stand there in frozen terror wondering if that was the same stuff they had used to turn Sweetie into a zebra.

Then, before she could even take a step back, Shining Armor was right behind her with his hands around her waist. She could feel his hard member pressing against her flank, their shorts creating the only barriers.

“Applejack, if you really want to feel what it’s like to transform but not really change, we can make that happen,” he whispered into her ear before his lips made contact with her neck. The feeling of his teeth and tongue against her fur caused the mare to shudder with delight, glad he was holding onto her like this.

“Yah can?” she asked in a breathy voice.

“That in there is the same oil that we use to make a mare’s body softer,” said Shining after a moment. “All it will do is alter your muscles. You’ll still be as strong as you are now; it just won’t be as obvious. But, if you don’t want to, you won’t have to.”

For a moment, Applejack said nothing as she looked down at her own body. At the muscles she had built up during a lifetime of hard work while the memory of what happened to Moonlit played in her head. Was she willing to lose her muscles? No, wait. Shining said she wasn’t going to lose them. They would just be more hidden. Wouldn’t that be a surprise next time Rainbow came down to the farm, thinking AJ had lost her edge only to be in for a rude awakening. Plus this was what she wanted, wasn’t it. Finding out what it felt like to transform? If she didn’t like it and they couldn’t undo the change then at least she wouldn’t be stuck in some awful state. She would still be herself and help out around the farm. Really wasn’t seeing any downsides to this.

“Alright,” she said with a nod. “Let’s do this.”

A single, long kiss planted at the base of her neck was Shining Armor’s only response. A kiss that caused her to throw her head back and moan before the stranger in front of her.

When Shining Armor pulled away, his hands went to the base of her sports bra. Taking a breath, she raised her arms up to allow the stallion to pull it off. Just like that her mounds jiggled as they were exposed to these strangers who simply stood there with smiles on their faces. Once they were completely off, Shining Armor tossed the fabric off to the side without a care in the world before bending down to do the same with her shorts. Though this time he was a bit slower, planting small kisses on her flanks and inner thighs. But soon enough, she stood there as naked as the zebra mares.

“Come,” said one of the other mares, gesturing to the shower. AJ nodded, stepping out and away from the shorts that had pooled around her hooves as she made her way to the other side of the room. Once there, she was told through gestures that she was to stand in the middle. For a moment, Applejack thought that the water would be turned on or something. Only that didn’t happen. Instead she was told to just lie down on the cold floor and her head resting on one of the zebra’s lap. Said lap was amazingly soft, almost pillow-like to the point where AJ thought she might fall asleep at any moment. There was a scent that was slowly filling her nostrils, the odor of a mare’s arousal and excitement. Perhaps it was from the jar of oils next to her head. Or perhaps it belonged to this mare. Could it have been both? As she pondered this, the lap mare reached into her jar, dipping her fingers in while the other sat down her own jar and began to dip a small wash towel inside.

The zebra whose lap her head lay upon removed her fingers from the oil, revealing an oil that almost looked the same color as the apple mare’s coat dripping from her fingers. Slowly the fingers moved over to AJ’s temples, allowing her to get a whiff of their scent. It was weird because, at first, the oils smelt so alien only for her to suddenly recognize it as the scent of her own orchard after a fresh spring rain. Perhaps there was even a hint of cinnamon in there. Before she could ponder why the scent had changed to something more familiar and personal, the oil made contact with her coat.

The sensation the oil made on her body was, as Rares would put it, ‘simply divine’. So much so that Applejack couldn’t help but make a sound somewhere between a sigh and a moan while all the tension in her vanished. Her head, it was like she had been suffering from a headache for years only to finally have it clear! This was amazing. So much so that she didn’t mind the slight fogginess that crept over her, slowing most thoughts save for those connected to pleasure. It was like feeling good was the only thing she could now feel.

Perhaps that was why the touch of the wash towel finally making its way to AJ’s coat caused the mare to gasp, her hips bucking into the air before slamming back down. She couldn’t help it. Trying to figure out why it felt so good was too much for her brain right now. The only thing AJ could do right now was to connect this feeling with the experience she had once at a sleepover with Rares. Specifically the time when her unicorn friend had let them use this fancy new hot tub she got which seemed to always know what each mare’s favorite temperature for a soak was. That same pleasurable warmth seemed to instantly sink deep into her skin, moving further down until it reached her veins. And there was…something else that was so alien yet felt so amazing. She was at a loss for words on how good it was making her feel, just let her body react.

As the haze continued to cloud her mind, the farmer mare found enough sense to watch what was happening to her. The zebra mare just seemed to wipe away the muscles with the same ease as one wipes off a mess on the kitchen counter! Wherever the little towel went, all her muscles just seemed to vanish into nothing but smooth, soft looking coat. Her arms that put many stallions to shame were just gone! In their place were the orange arms of a normal mare. Her abs were next, a six pack becoming a nicely rounded stomach that made her look neither overly fat nor too thin. Just perfect. On and on this went with Applejack continuing to breathe hard. Then, she was done. Transformed into something different yet still the same.

Once the zebras had finished, they moved away carefully from the orange mare with the one whose lap AJ’s head had been resting on simply sliding back and gently resting her head against the cold floor. Yet, even as the zebras began to pack up their stuff, a change was still going on within the farmer. The warmth inside of her was still there, causing her to squirm. She needed something. Longed for-

A sudden gasp escaped her lips as she felt the hand of Shining Armor upon her breast. Her back seemed to arc on its own, pressing more of her mound into his palm. In response the stallion gave it a firm squeeze while letting out a sound of approval. For the first time since this started, AJ realized that the prince was still here. Now naked he knelt beside her, completely devoid of any clothing. Her attention became transfixed to his stallionhood which was standing at full mast so close to her face. AJ’s senses seemed to become hyper focused on it, staring at every vein while inhaling the scents of a male’s musk that only comes out after a hard work. Her hips began to twist from side to side as she took all this in, wanting to be with her stallion. Wanting him to fully claim her like she had with that thick cock already dripping with pre.

Moving slightly, Armor’s meat spear landed on Applejack’s upper lip. With her first breath she was now able to inhale the scent direct from the source, nearly sending her into a new level of bliss. For several long seconds she just laid there, breathing in the scent as if the desire to burn it into her memory had always been there. And while she did this, Shining continued to play with her breast. He squeezed her mound over and over again before cupping it. He squeezed her nipple, twisting and pulling on it. But never too rough so that she would be in pain.

Finally, AJ could no longer hold herself back. Moving her head as far to the side as she could, she managed to position herself so that the cock was right in front of her lips. Opening her mouth, she licked the head earning a pleasurable sigh from her love. Several times she licked at the slit, lapping up as most of the pre as she could. Oh, the moment his fluids touched her taste buds she knew she was addicted for life. Eventually she could no longer hold herself back, taking the entire thing into her mouth. Lordy, her mouth began to water as his taste filled her with bliss. The saltiness of his sweat mixed with his own natural flavor along with the pre-cum was almost divine. Her head began to swim through a fog of lust, banishing away anything that could be considered doubts as she bobbed her head to get more of this in her. A hum of delight would escape her, sending vibrations along the cock which she knew he could feel.

While this was going on, Shining was playing with her body. One hand was still on her breasts, kneading it as his lips connected to a nipple. He sucked on it like a foal, making AJ squirm a bit while his other hand made its way down her body. Like he was taking in the new lay of the land before planting his crop. And boy oh boy did he find the perfect spot. Two fingers ran down her slit, becoming drenched in the fluids she was producing. After a few strokes he entered her, using those digits to explore her insides. As he did, his digits would spread apart to press against the walls of her inner passage. Shiny seemed to enjoy the tightness there, sinking his hand deeper inside while his thumb made circles around her clit.

Then, he pulled away. For a moment, AJ let out a whine that would have sounded more natural coming from Rares. It wasn’t fair! She wanted more! Was there something wrong? Was he bored? Was she that bad at sex? If that was the case, she would get on her hands and knees to beg for time to improve. But before she could voice that, Shining had grabbed her by the wrist before pulling them both up. It happened so fast that the orange mare stumbled, landing chest to chest with the white stallion who wrapped his arms around her. Relief soon came to her as their lips met once more, his cock pressing against her folds still hard as it had been when they started. The kiss deepened as they began to walk backwards until her back was pressed against the tiled wall.

Then, he pulled away. “I’ve wanted you for so long,” he whispered in a husky voice. Without waiting for her to say a word, his lips made contact with her collar bone causing her to gasp. He kissed her again at the top of her breasts and then again on each nipple. Soon a trail of kisses was made starting at the valley between her breasts going down her stomach and towards her dripping wet pussy. All the while, AJ’s words were sporadic. She was aware that while her hands ran through his blue mane she said things like ‘Yes, right there’, ‘So good’, and ‘Yes, yes, yes’. She almost cried when he stopped near her soaking entrance, only to fade when she found out what he had in store.

Holding onto her flank, Shining had managed to move his shoulders behind her legs while his muzzle remained close to her sex. Before she knew it Applejack was being lifted upwards as the stallion began to stand up. With her sex right in front of the stallion’s face, Shining Armor wasted no more time as he leaned his face forward. AJ’s cries of shock and pleasure reverberated throughout the shower as he felt his lips against her folds, tongue penetrating her depths as though he were making out with it. Her mighty thighs (which no longer looked as powerful as they once did) squeezed his head while her upper body leaned forward. As she did, she could feel his horn sliding between her breasts as though she were giving it a boob job. Not that she cared in that moment how it looked, all that mattered was how she felt! Shining Armor seemed to now know every spot within her wet sex that stimulated her. His tongue lashed around, pressing against her folds finding nerves that she never knew she had to bring her closer to her ultimate release. So much so that when he pulled out of her cunt, Applejack almost ripped off his head in protest only being stopped when his tongue began to caress her hood. Now her upper body was almost thrashing about while still holding his head as the unicorn teased and prodded for her clit to become exposed. When it did, Shining gave it a long hard lick sending the mare in his care into sexual overdrive.

As she climaxed, AJ felt something change within her. If she had to describe what she was feeling, her body and soul felt a little off balance. But such things she couldn’t pay too much mind for long as her entire body seemed to become super sensitive from her climax. She could feel every bead of sweat running down her body, shivers racing down her spin when she felt a breeze against her coat. She knew she was panting now, her breasts heaving up and down on the stallion’s head before she was lifted down onto her hooves.

Though her eyes were now half lidded, the sounds of a new set of hooves entering the locker room caught her attention. Focusing with all her might, she saw Farilla walking into the shower with Sweetie Belle behind her! The zebra maid had her head lowered the entire time while Farilla looked away to the side as if embarrassed by something. It was only when the mare reached a hand up towards her chest did AJ have an inkling as to why.

Without a word Sweetie moved behind Farilla, her piercings swaying side to side with each step she took. In one swift motion, the elegant gown of golden threads that the zebra had been wearing fell to the ground leaving the owner in her bra and panties alone. That did not last long as Sweetie then unhooked the natural born zebra mare’s bra, letting gravity take control as it fell to the ground. A hand quickly went to cover them once more as a shade of red appeared on Farilla’s face, though she was not quick enough for Applejack not to notice the mare’s nipples. For some reason, her lust fueled mind seemed to hyper focus on them. They were a bit longer than most, sticking out while remaining thin. Oh by the heavens, she wanted to suck on them so badly while Shining watched! Sweetie did not help with the panties, Farillia having taken a deep breath as she bent to pull them down.

As Sweetie began to disrobe as well, Farilla moved closer to the pair. Once she was close enough, the smaller mare wrapped her arms around Shining’s torso in a hug and buried her face in the side of his chest. Slowly she sank to her knees, kissing their stallion before moving under him to kiss the stallion’s spear. At the same time, Sweetie was now on her hands and knees as she crawled over naked as the day she had been reborn towards Prince Armor. She moved to his backside, kissing the back of his hoof before making her way upward until she reached his flank. The transformed zebra then made her way to his ponut, sticking out her tongue, and began to dive in.

Seeing this should have repulsed AJ, yet she did not. In fact, seeing that this mare knew her place was another turn on for her. She was lower than AJ and her herd sister Farilla. That was her role.

…Wait, why did she think that? Well, because it was true. Wasn’t it?

Before she could think about it anymore, the haze within her mind seemed to strengthen as she was lowered down to the ground. Now back on shaky legs, her back pressed against the wall as she looked at Shining who was now making out with Farilla. The smaller mare had an arm wrapped around his neck while the other stroked his member slowly.

Then, Shining pulled away from his zebra fiancé.

“Go welcome your new herd sister,” he said while taking a step back to watch. Farilla smiled and nodded before moving over to Applejack. But rather than kiss her, Farilla reached down her body to stick two fingers in her pussy. AJ watched in fascination as the sweet zebra mare began to stroke up the fires within her marehood. Seeing that caused Applejack’s hand to move down her body and mirror the action. For sometime the two mares pleasured themselves before the other until their hands were soaked in their own juices. Then, as if they both knew what to do, they both removed their hands from their pussies at the same time and brought them to the other’s mouth. Both accepted the other’s fingers, sucking on the juices the other had. AJ’s tongue wrapped around and lapped at the digits, tasting the surprisingly sweet love nectar on it. She then moaned as Farilla did the same.

Once there was nothing more to lick up, the two herd sisters removed their fingers before closing the gap between. Embracing the other, the two began to kiss deeply. Neither cared who was watching as their tongues dove into the other’s mouth, caressing the other’s insides.

Somehow, during the kiss, Farilla became the one planted against the wall. Applejack found herself bent over, her flank sticking out as her hands were planted on the wall on either side of the flat chested zebra mare. Then the farmer mare then shuddered when the strong hands of Shining Armor landed on her flank. A moment later, her eyes widened as she felt his massive pole plunge deep into her depths and only stopping when it hit her womb. Her mouth was open, not a sound coming out while her eyes watered, her body sending her details about what was inside her. How it spread her insides, the feeling of his medial ring, the way it pulsed within her. By the time she had taken a few breathes, her breasts bouncing as they hung beneath her frame, it felt like a part of her was memorizing his cock.

“You’re incredible Applejack,” groaned Shining Armor as he pulled out slightly only to slam back into her. Something about the fog that was plaguing AJ’s mind shifted when she heard that along with the feeling of the thrust inside her. Those words seemed to echo in her mind along with the pleasure that was swiftly replacing the pain. Her coat seemed to tingle slightly as his hands caressed her hips as well as the sides of her stomach.

His thrusts became wilder, more forceful. As she stared at the zebra in front of her, her mind was in a daze while the sounds of flesh striking flesh seemed to echo all around her. The sounds of his hips slapping against her rear. The echoes of her breasts bouncing around with such force that they made a smacking noise when they hit her chest. Something within her shifting, something important that she knew she could place a finger on if her mind wasn’t being washed with pleasure.

“She will help birth many foals,” came a soft voice from beneath Applejack. “Many strong colts.” Those words seemed to move some of the fog away as AJ looked down, seeing Sweetie Belle beneath her. Before the orange mare could say anything, the zebra maid raised her head and managed to catch one of the bouncing nubs in her mouth. At that moment, Applejack felt herself go cross-eyed as she raised her head, crying out some unintelligent sound with her tongue hanging out. As Sweetie continued to suckle her, AJ saw two versions of herself. The first, her present self, was bent over in the shower room with her face against the wall and tongue hanging out while another mare teased her nipple like a newborn. Then, that image changed. She could see herself on a bed, cradling a newborn foal in one arm and watching as she nursed him. Next to her was Shining Armor, a hand over her stomach where she knew instinctively that the seeds of new life had begun to sprout once more. The image of her and the stallion who had proclaimed his admiration as well as love for her settling down to bring forth a new generation was enough to bring her to a new level of ecstasy.

“Not just her,” grunted Shining Armor, his thumbs spreading AJ’s ass crack a bit more as he said this. “Farilla as well. Both shall bear me my young. Mothers of a whole new Equestria. As for you Sweetie, any foal you carry shall live to serve our house.”

Applejack gasped as the visions of her and Shining shifted. Now both she and Farilla were on the bed together, Shining Armor between them and holding them close to him as they nursed their young foals. Foals that would grow up to either be strong stallions like their father or beautiful mares that would be sought after to breed newer, better families. Foals that could continue the lineage of Shining Armor and the new Equestria that he was creating. That she, a nobody mare from a tiny little town that few cared about until that one Summer Sun Celebration all those moons ago, would become the foundation of it all.

“YES!” screamed Applejack. “Fill me! Breed me! Mah body will help ya bring forth the strongest foals ya ever did see!” Shining Armor said something, but it was barely heard over AJ’s pleads to be bread. To be fucked endlessly until a new life was inside her, her milk flowing from her tits freely. All while Shining Armor continued to pound her pussy.

End Flashback [/hr]

As fingers parted the lips of her sex, the apple bucking mare could barely contain her excitement as her memories continued to flow. A part of her wanted to just keep lying there, legs spread as far as they could, and pleasure herself until she came. But, knowing how important today was, she knew she could not just lay about. No matter all the changes that had happened in recent years she would never be a lazy daisy. No sir! She would do her part, just like everypony else in this arrangement.

Speaking of, Applejack glanced around the large room to see where the other occupant that had shared this bed with her was. Normally, she and Farilla would awake around the same time but it seemed that this time the slender zebra mare had beaten her to the punch as she was no longer in the bed. Not surprising as she was sure Farilla had been looking forward to this far longer than AJ! It didn’t take long to find the striped mare, finding her sitting in a corner of the spacious room with a full body mirror in front of her. Naked as the day she had been born, Farilla combed her mane with a dreamy expression reflected back at her.

“Mornin’ sugarcube,” said Applejack. Her voice made the smaller mare jump while an adorable squeak escaped her lips. Nervously, she got to her hooves before swiftly turning around while holding the silver brush in her hands like a sword. Though this didn’t last long as her arms seemed to relax a little as she saw that it was only Applejack.

A small giggle escaped Applejack as she slowly pushed herself out of the bed before approaching Farilla. The mare was smaller than her, with the top of her head just barely reaching AJ’s shoulder. Starting from her head, Farilla had a mane that was mostly white with three stripes of black that almost seemed randomly placed. Her face was smoothed to an almost perfect state with the black stripes on her milky white fur resembling the swirls one might find on the cutie marks of pegasi sometimes. The only other black marks being that of her lips which always looked soft. Moving down, the zebra had a very slender frame that was fitting for her height along with small breasts that could be either A or B cup. However they were rather perky, the thick nipples always looking hard as they pointed upwards. The type of nipples that both Shining and Applejack would suck on for hours, watching as she came time and time again. Those wind-like swirl markings continued downward along her sides and even across her belly. Heck, there was even one on both sides of her pussy looking like mirror images of themselves separated by her black slit.

“Y-You scared m-me,” stammered Farilla, one of her hands letting go of her brush so it could rest above her heart. Her hands were small as well, with the top segments of her fingers looking like they had been dipped in ink.

“Sorry there sugar,” was all Applejack could say as she closed the distance between them, pulling Farilla in for a hug. Due to the height difference, the zebra mare’s head rested right between the country mare’s breasts. Not that either of them minded as Farilla returned the hug. Upon feeling this, Applejack kissed the top of her lover’s forehead.

“Up a bit earlier than normal,” said Applejack when they finally separated.

“I, uh, had a hard time sleeping,” admitted Farilla in a soft tone as she turned back to the mirror. Taking a breath, she walked back to it and retook her seat. “It’s a p-pretty big day today.”

“It is,” agreed Applejack in a wistful tone before glancing over at the seat next to Farilla. While the one the zebra mare was sitting on had belonged to Cadence at one point, and being made of crystal, the one that belonged to AJ had been a gift from her brother when she told him the good news. He had worked on it for two days, using some of the best wood from around the farm to create the frame while taking some of the cloth that Granny Smith had left behind before her passing to create the cushion. Sitting in it reminded her of home, of where she came from.

After several minutes of talking, the pair heard a knock at the door before it opened revealing Sweetie Belle. The pair paused to glance over at the servant mare, flashing her a kind smile as she curtsied before them.

“M’ ladies, your bath is ready” said Sweetie in a respectful tone, one that Applejack found odd considering that she was screaming their names along with a series of cusses as the two mares watched Shining Armor ram his meat stick into her repeatedly. Nor was it like it was a secret from the rest of the castle as everypony knew that Shining Armor was trying to breed his personal maid. To impregnate her with a filly of her own that would continue to serve the royal house. AJ supposed the reason for all the fancy formalities was because she was on the clock.

Without even bothering to shrug, Applejack rose from her seat along with Farilla as the two walked down the hallway without bothering to put on a stick of clothing. While AJ walked with pride, her head held high while allowing everypony who wished to gaze upon unrestricted, Farilla was the exact opposite. The smaller mare had her tail tucked in, like a dog who thought she was in danger. Head held downward, she kept her eyes on her hooves while one of her slender arms covered her rather small breasts.

“Still mighty shy about being seen?” whispered AJ as the doors to what had once been Princess Celestia’s bath opened before them, a glow seeming to emanate from the room that made it hard to see what was inside. A trick of magic that had once been set up, according to the staff, so that those who opened it wouldn’t see Celestia with one of her lovers should they carelessly open it. Twilight had left it there when she had inherited the castle, either not knowing or caring what it had been meant for. Or maybe she never went in this one as it was a tad on the ‘excessive’ side for her taste thus she never knew of it. But soon, after today, it would be a thing of the past.

Farilla gave a short nod as she held herself a little tighter. “I’ve never been able to get over being this self conscious,” she said while looking away. “S-Shining knows, uh, I told him about it back when we first met. Me being a zebra mare…there were a lot of…expectations for me to live up to. When I was younger, I would spend hours looking at the pictures of traditional zebra mares hoping one day I could be that beautiful. And, ah, as you can see, I failed to measure up.”

“Hogwash,” said AJ as she got behind the smaller mare, pressing her larger breasts and hard nipples into Farilla’s back. “Ya ain’t failed at nothin’. Just because yah ain’t got a big butt, massive set of tits, or anything like that don’t mean a thing. Both me and Shining think yah be mighty sexy.”

Farilla gave her soon to be herd sister a grateful nod, a blush tinting her cheeks as they fully entered the bathroom. Well, to call it a bathroom wouldn’t do it justice given the grand scope of the room. The room itself was large, probably twice as tall as the barn back home, with the ceiling painted to look as if there were clouds at sunrise. The floor of the rectangular room was made of ancient stone that felt smooth under their hooves with large marble pillars positioned around the pool. Each of the pillars had been carved into the image of a mare, each one of them naked and their gazes fixed on the center with a look of longing. One of those pillars was in the image of the old Twi, before she had become a zebra and alicorn. Made her wonder if these pillars had been done in the image of lovers Celestia had had, planning on making Twi one of them. As for the bath itself, it was more like a very shallow pool. The water came from an underground hot spring, pumped up through the mountain and using magic to preserve its heat.

Both Applejack and Farilla walked over to the water which had a small layer of steam dancing over its surface. The country mare slowly dipped one hoof into the water, watching the slightly green water ripple as she allowed herself to adjust to the heat before fully getting in. Slowly the pair began to lie down in the water only deep enough to submerge Applejack’s chest with their heads resting on the edge. The zebra and the earth pony let out sighs as they felt the minerals in the water, which they had been told helped ease stress and muscle tension, do their work.

As the pair soaked, several ponies began entering the bathing room from a stone doorway situated on the opposite side. All of them mares, naked as the two who shared Shining Armor’s bed and carrying various items in their hands. Shampoos, brushes, small bits of clothing, jewelry, sliced apples, and more. These were once Celestia’s and Twilight’s servants, in charge of washing and helping the royals get ready. Normally, AJ wouldn’t have bothered with them. That she could fix herself up just fine and dandy. But, seeing as this was a special day, she allowed herself to be taken care of.

“Lady Applejack, a letter arrived for you last night after you retired,” said Sweetie as a basin full of hot water was placed behind AJ’s head. At once the naked bathmare, a pegasus with a rain cloud cutie mark, began to wash the blonde mare belonging to the orange mare. “It is from my sister.”

“Rares?” asked Applejack, shooting a glance over at Sweetie who stood there with a letter in hand. The script on the envelope belonged to the zebra. “Well, don’t keep me waitin none, what’s it say?”

“Very well,” replied Sweetie, opening the letter and unfolding the parchment. “To my dearest friend Applejack.” Sweetie then paused, an eyebrow raised as she scanned the letter. She then let out a sigh before letting out a loud squee that echoed through the room while jumping in the air. Three bounces to the right then three bounces to the left. All while letting out that sound, gaining the attention of everypony in the room who just stared at the zebra turned mare blankly. Finally, when it was over, Sweetie looked rather embarrassed.

“Ah, sugarcube, what the hay was all that about?” asked Applejack.

“It’s what Rarity wrote down,” explained Sweetie, showing the document written in zebra. “She even included the motions.” It was true. Rarity had included a doodle of herself hopping about underneath the words.

“Ah, well, ya can just skip them parts from now on,” said AJ as a tingle ran through her scalp caused by the shampoo being used on her. Another zebra product.

“Thank you,” replied a very relieved Sweetie as she quickly scrolled down the letter before continuing. “I just heard the good news from my Master-Husband. Oh my stars and suns! The last I heard about you was when you won those gold medals in Appleloosa.” Applejack let out a hum at the memory. She recalled how nervous she had been to enter, given how recently she had gotten together with Shining Armor. However, he had insisted saying how sexy it would be to see her taking on all them bulls and stallions in every hole. That as well as to prove that she was the only mare worthy of such a medal. “Well, I do hope that this letter reaches you before the big day. When I heard about what was going on, I begged Illras, my Master-Husband, to allow me to travel to be there. However, in his wisdom, he reminded me that there would be no way for us to make it in time. That, along with the stress would place undue burden on my third birth. Truly, I am fortunate to have such a wise stallion to stand behind.

“I do not know when we shall see each other again. My memories of Equestria grow more distant by the day as well as the uneventful life I led before departing.” At that, Applejack felt her eyes roll at Rare being overly dramatic as usual.

“So, in case the worst should happen, I want to tell you all about what has been going on with me. I’m not sure if you are aware, but for a time I was living in the capital until a certain event happened which I wish not to discuss. Hopefully you shall not pry, for it was a truly dreadful event. All I shall say on the matter is, once it was concluded, myself and my twin daughters had to leave the capital. Though it had been done for our sakes I did not take it well leaving the first Mare’s Quarters. It was the place where I was reborn, becoming one of the mares whose duty it was to save the zebras! However, with change comes new opportunities. I was placed under the care of a stallion who would later become my Master-Husband, a shy and somewhat timid stallion when it comes to mares yet brilliant when it comes to trade. His home is in a major trading port along the coastline. The view here is simply breathtaking and with the weather always feeling like it was set to early summer makes this the ideal vacation location. In fact, some of the most influential zebras have their summer villa’s here!

By the time I had fully recovered from my ordeal, a new Mares Quarters had been built next to the beach. Darling Illras then asked for my assistance, he would be managing all the necessities to make sure everything ran smoothly while I greeted our newcomers and helped them with any personal problems they might have. Not that I wish to toot my own horn, but I have been slowly becoming a symbol of what a transformed zebra should strive for as I have trotted down all the paths. I have shown them the morale route, dancing naked upon the stage to better entice the poor dears before taking them into the backroom so that they may fill me with their seed. Those stallions who come to the Mares Quarters are attended with the greatest of care, never leaving until they are fully satisfied. My services have also been requested within several of the smaller shops as I help dress stallions in the latest fashions, mending their clothing, and then allowing them to use me for their final pleasure. And now, I have the great honor of being a Servant-Wife to a stallion whom I am thankful that he allows me to continue to serve so many wonderful zebras. Hopefully, my next birth after this one shall be with his young.

“But that is not all! Recently, I have even been asked to help with other matters within the city. A member of the zebra elite, one of the wealthiest merchants in the land, asked for me specifically to help with his daughter’s coming of age ceremony. Poor dear, I think she is the last mare born from two natural zebras in this city. That is why we made the whole ceremony as special as we could. Oh it was something to be seen as myself and several other mares danced around the mare in the middle of this large room, all of us naked and throwing salt into the air above this young one while her suitors stood off to the side. She looked nervous, especially when the golden blade was brought out to cut her clothing off. Once she was naked, I was granted the honor of marking her with the oils, placing various symbols across her body before the stallions she had invited approached. To help ease her worries, I sucked on one of these massive stallion cocks, wetting it so that it would better slide through her virgin slit. Naturally I did this in front of her to show her the proper form and etiquette for deep throating such fine zebra specimens. When they finally took her, I remained by her side to reassure her. Never once did I leave her side, allowing her to kiss and suck on my nipples while the rest of the mares tended to the other male guests.”

As Sweetie continued to read, Applejack’s thoughts lingered on this coming of age ceremony and how mighty similar it sounded to a recent trend that was happening here in Equestria.

Flashback [/hr]

“Now announcing the arrival of Prince Shining Armor and his lovers; Lady Farilla and Lady Applejack.” Upon hearing their names being called, Applejack took in a breath so deep that it caused her breasts to jiggle briefly before the large doors before the trio opened. Despite everything she had been through in life, all the royal shindigs she had attended since becoming one of Equestria’s defenders, these events still made her feel like she was trying to walk on eggshells. Always fearing that she might do something wrong and embarrass those she was with.

Shining seemed to notice this, squeezing the arm she was holding with both of hers to gain her attention before flashing her a reassuring smile. Glancing across his chest, AJ saw that Farilla was looking at her as well. The zebra mare smiled though it was a shaky one. Honestly, it made Applejack feel a bit better to know that she wasn’t the only one nervous.

With just an additional moment of pause, the three walked through the threshold and into the party. Inside, Applejack found herself in a room that she frankly felt like it had been endlessly copied and pasted as she had seen such places in every noble’s home. Said room was large, probably large enough for a full Apple Family reunion with more than enough room to spare. Above their heads hung four massive chandeliers that flicker with magical lights. On one side of the room were large bay windows so big that an adult dragon could stick their head through no problem. Directly ahead of them was a large staircase. Honestly, the only thing that was ever different in these places was where they put the grub.

As the three moved forward the earth mare could feel the eyes of every elite pony that old Rares would have done anything to bump elbows with fall on her coltfriend. Not that she could blame him because the stallion could sure clean up when he felt like it. Rather than wearing some stuffy suit, he was wearing one of his military uniforms from back when he was Captain of the Guard. With great pride, he wore his numerous gold and silver metals proudly upon his bright red suit jacket. His pants were a matching color, perfectly steamed. He did not wear a crown, but rather had a metal hanging around his neck as a symbol of his station. On his left was Farilla, who was still wearing some of Cadence’s old dresses that had been modified to fit her smaller frame. This time it was a matching red gown with four pointed diamond shaped sapphires sown into the skirt. Meanwhile Applejack was the most casually dressed out of the three of them. She wore a red and black plaid shirt, buttons open and tied under her breasts allowing them to be on full display. Below that the orange mare wore what could only be considered a jean thong, allowing her ass cheeks and cutie mark to be seen by all.

Not that anypony seemed to mind as many of these elite mares were wearing far less. Many of them were wearing bras that were made of a transparent material with cut outs over their nipples in the shape of their cutie marks. As for their panties, they were made of similar material with the cut outs there being in the shape of their stallion’s cutie mark. This allowed their clit piercings to be seen, also in the shape of their stallion’s cutie mark. A few seemed to want to show off their wealth a bit as their bras were little more than thin gold chains. The entire thing was made of gold, strands of it woven together so small and precisely that it looked like a thin stand. These golden bands went over the shoulders and around the breasts before various additional strands moved across the surface of the milk holders. Each of those strands were evenly spaced so that AJ could place her thumb sideways between them. As for their panties, they looked more like silken loincloths. Those were not the only fashion that the apple mare could see. Corsets of various materials and styles could be seen, all of them stopping just below the breasts. Some strode around wearing nothing more than nylon stockings with matching gloves that went all the way to their shoulders.

Such was the attire of Equestria’s new sexual revolution. All across Equestria, even in places like Ponyville, the ponies were just wearing less. Many of the mares in some of the smaller places didn’t wear as fancy looking lingerie as these folks and some didn’t even bother to wear anything at all! Pinkie Pie, for example, now bounced around the town naked as the day she was born along with all of her sisters. Then there were ponies like Rainbow, who spray painted her fight suit onto her body whenever she was out on the town.

But there was one thing that AJ noticed that both classes seemed to be wearing. Around their necks, wrists, and ankles were those rings. More than once, Applejack had walked past those shops run by Equestrian and zebra stallions. Looking through the windows, she watched as mares humbly allowed themselves to have those rings placed on their bodies before their sizes adjusted perfectly so that they would never be removed. Even the rings around their neck, which at first opened up, seemed to become solid bands of silver that could never be removed again. Right now, she was probably one of the few mares who was not wearing them, opting instead to wear rope in those places. It wasn’t because she didn’t trust them, it was more because them things looked too damned fancy for her tastes. Certainly wasn’t going to spend any of her well earned bits for something like that!

There was only one other mare who was as overdressed as Farilla. That mare was the star of the show tonight, daughter of the noble stallion Diamond Mine: Ruby Fields. Ruby was a mare who today had turned eighteen, a unicorn mare with a bright red coat, stunning brilliant green eyes, and a long white mane what seemed to swirl down to the small of her back. She was dressed in a one piece, lime green sleeveless dress that hugged nicely against her curves while accenting her D-cup breasts.

“Prince Armor!” called an older, slightly paunchy stallion in a black suit and red sash across his gut. He did his best to speed walk over to the trio, his thick upturned mustache twitching with every step he took. Despite having only seen him once before, AJ would never forget that this stallion was the host of the party. “So glad you could make it sire. So glad, so glad.”

“Well, there was a little stumble in us getting here,” said Shining, smiling at the mare while never making a move to tell his mares that they needed to let go of him. “Lady Celestia was pounding on my chamber doors for the better part of an hour.”

“Ah…yes,” said Diamond, his tone becoming less enthused. “No doubt upset that you have asked her to remove herself from your castle.” As he spoke, the stallion shot an aggressive glance over to the side. Applejack turned her head to look in that direction only to then force herself not to roll her eyes in annoyance. Standing there in what could only be magically created shadows, since the entire room was well lit including in that one corner, was the former ruler of Equestria Lady Celestia. Her title as Princess no more, she stood there in one of her elegant dresses looking on the scene before her like an old grump ready to shout at everypony to ‘get off her lawn’. At least, that’s what it looked like to AJ. Or maybe it was more of an ‘these young foals today, why back in my day we wore clothes and we liked it damn it’. Whatever, her expression made it so that only the bravest of serving mares would dare approach her. Though it was a bit odd seeing there was a maid next to her.

“Hmm. She left me little choice,” replied Shining Armor, his good natured tone vanishing as he glanced over at his former boss. He then let out a sad sigh, shaking his head as he did so. “Despite all the distrust and accusations she has hurled at me, I had offered her a chance to stay in the castle until my official coronation as a show of no hard feelings. Let bygones be bygones. And do you know how she repaid me? Just this morning I found her in my private office, my locked private office, with papers thrown all over the place. She’s lucky I didn’t throw her in the dungeons with a magic suppression ring on her horn!”

“As would have been your right, sire,” agreed Diamond. “The nerve of her! Yelling at you after showing such mercy! The whole of Canterlot is talking about it!”

“Well, in all fairness, she accepted the fact that she was being removed from the castle well,” admitted Shining Armor, gaining Diamond’s attention. “It was what I said after that sent her into a rage. Since it’s not going to be happening now, I don’t see any harm in telling ponies that many within the castle were thinking, considering inviting our allied leaders and diplomats from various other nations to attend the coronation. I mean, come on, I’m going to be the third ruler of a nation that has lasted for over a thousand years. That’s a pretty big deal. Plus we can show how much Equestria has changed. Of course, King Zed and his entire family would have been in attendance. But, given how Lady Celestia is acting, I thought it best to ax the idea entirely.”

Diamond Mine’s jaw dropped a little as he heard this, not that Applejack blamed him none. She herself had been accosted by the sun alicorn more than once. The first time had been pleasant enough, with Celestia requesting her presence within her suite in the castle to catch up. Mostly they spoke about how she was doing and how things with Shining Armor were progressing. Simple things really, though she couldn’t help but feel at times that the former princess was expecting something bad. Their next few meetings felt more like interrogations as she was practically dragged into an empty room with a mare who was increasingly losing the regal composure she had displayed for centuries. The last time had been mighty unpleasant, with Celestia actually suggesting that she didn’t care much for the well beings of her friends like Twilight! The nerve!

With that, along with her recent break into Shining Armor’s office, it was clear that she was not going to abide by the noble’s judgment. Even a country mare like her could see that having both herself there and all them important guests would be a recipe for trouble. Just like that time they invited Great Uncle Chili Pepper to the family reunion, things would have exploded in a nasty way. No doubt she’d make a scene, accusing King Zed to his face of holding Twi against her will or something. Maybe talking to the others there to turn them against good old Zed. Course, they could just not invite her…and then she’d still storm in and try to take Twilight or something.

“That…is a shame,” said Diamond Mine at last, glancing over at Celestia once more.

“I, ah, take it that you didn’t invite the Lady of the Sun?” asked Farilla.

Diamond shook his head. “No, she came with her maid through the back,” he answered. “When I finally noticed her she had made her presence known to a few of the other nobility. Seeing as how this is the biggest night for my little pony, I didn’t want to cause a scene by having her removed. That and Princess Luna had just arrived.” At that, the slightly chubby stallion gestured to an area of the room opposite of Celestia. Having recently recovered from her recent birth, she stood there greeting anypony who approached her with an excited smile. No doubt thrilled that she and her husband would be heading north soon to become the new rulers of the Crystal Empire. As normal of her of late, the Lunar Princess’ horn was capped in silver with a crescent moon charm dangling from it which matched the earrings. Her top was a transparent black cloth that circled around her neck and shoulders before shooting down in a V-shape before connecting to a silver chain right below her breasts. Below that, she wore a crotchless salwar of the same material. Stars, nebulas, and entire galaxies seemed to appear on her leggings while shooting stars seemed to flow across her breasts. Besides her, greeting ponies with even greater enthusiasm, was Prince Dreiga, dressed in the finest suit and tie.

“I think knowing that her sister is here is keeping the Lady at bay,” continued Diamond. As if on cue, Princess Luna looked in the direction of Celestia. Her smile faded somewhat, giving the elder of the two alicorns a disapproving look. This, in turn, caused the Lady of the Sun to huff. “Though, should the Lady do anything to ruin this night, her sister will be the least of her worries. I may not look like much, but I shall use all my might to toss her cake loving ass off the mountain, tied in chains!”

Shining nodded in understanding. “That is understandable. As a member of the Royal Family, I feel like I must apologize for this unwanted stress on such a joyous occasion. Please, if there is anything I can do to make it up to you, I shall see it done. Within reason, of course.”

Diamond’s eyes lit up at that. “Well, there is something you can do,” replied the stallion. “See, I want this night to be as special as possible for my Ruby. And she’s had a bit of a crush on you for years now. So, it would mean the world to us both if you lead the procession. And, perhaps, should you wish you could add her to one of your future wives?”

Shining let out a hum, glancing over at Ruby for a moment. “I suppose it wouldn’t be too inappropriate for me to get this party started,” said Shining after a moment. “However, that’s really all I feel comfortable doing. Now, don’t get me wrong. Ruby is a very attractive mare and your family has supported me since my sister relinquished the throne. The thing is I already have two mares that are truly dear to me that have waited longer than they should to become officially part of my herd. Not only would it feel like a betrayal to them for bringing in a younger mare, but it would also come across as favoritism towards the rest of the Canterlot Elite. As for Ruby herself, I am sure she invited many of her suitors to attend. This should be about them and not be about something that may or may not happen.”

“But my Prince, my Ruby deserves,” began Diamond, however was stopped when Shining gave him a firm look which then softened once the father was silenced.

“In time, your Ruby will get her chance. But not this night,” said Shining Armor in a kind yet firm tone. “This is to be the biggest night of her life. This Scissor Party is to celebrate that she will no longer be seen as a filly, but mare. The last thing that either of us wants is for her to think that she has but this one night to please me. If we did that, she might become hyper focused on myself. And, should there be nothing more than physical attraction on my part, she might end up thinking that she did something wrong, blaming herself for who knows how long. So,” Shining Armor paused as he glanced over to Applejack and then Farilla. The two knew instantly what that look meant and they nodded in agreement. “We shall all take part in tonight’s ceremony in order to guide her. Then, after tonight, we can begin scheduling meetings so that myself and Lady Ruby can become better acquainted in a more private setting. If there is something there, then perhaps she shall be added to my herd or as a Royal Concubine. Should they not and things are not working out with any of her other suitors, then I will be more than willing to take her on as one of my personal maids.”

Diamond Mine paused for a moment, seeming to think the matter over. Though AJ didn’t need to do so since the offer was more than fair in her opinion. Thankfully, this big wig seemed to come to the same conclusion, nodding his head in agreement.

For the next hour or so, Applejack moved along with her group as Shining Armor made the rounds. Along the way, they met up with a few more familiar faces. One of them being Spike and his growing herd. Applejack was proud to see her little sis there, dressed in a frilly white bra and black panties that marked her as a maid. Though they all knew she would only remain as such until after the wedding. The same went for Scootaloo, Gabby, and Smolder. The conversation was mostly pleasantries, though Shining did say that he had considered giving control of the Crystal Empire to his adopted younger brother for a time. Spike had blushed at the comment before saying he understood why he didn’t get it. While the dragon was the hero of the Empire that didn’t mean he was qualified to rule. At least, not yet.

“Well, Equestria is expanding,” replied Shining Armor, smiling as he began talking in a lower tone. “You didn’t hear this from me, but I have been meeting with various representatives from Griffonstone. It seems like the nation is split, half of them wanting to join Equestria while the rest want to hang on to the old ways. If they do decide to become a part of our country, then I’m going to need somepony I trust to oversee it. Or maybe some dragon who has ties to the Royal Family, has helped with scheduling and organization of one of our nation’s former princesses, and done so much more.”

“Me?” asked Spike. “I, ah, don’t know what to say. I mean, if I’m not suited for the Empire, then what makes you think I can handle Griffonstone?”

“Well,” began Shining, his smile turning into a bit of a smirk. “For one thing, it’s not as grand as the Empire. It’s a smaller nation, and as I’m sure Gabby will second, a bit of a fixer-upper.”

The griffonness snorted at that. “I think it’s a bit more than that,” she replied.

“But, the smaller size means that there will be less to keep track of,” continued Shining Armor. “I think it’ll be a great place for you to test yourself in your ability to rule while also making it our own. You’ll be given free reign of the land. Plus it’s not that far off from the Dragon Lands. I’m sure Dragon Lord Ember would be more than happy to see you more often. Just do me a favor and don’t go too crazy. So, if you are interested, you have some time to start studying up until the griffons come to a decision. Or maybe you would prefer the Kirin lands? They are close to officially joining us as well.”

Once they had said their goodbye to Spike, the next familiar face Applejack saw belonged to Princess Luna. It seemed that the princess was considering adding to her own little herd, trying to find a herd sister or two that she could watch Dreiga impregnate while she was with foal again. It was then that she gestured to her own maid. One that Applejack nearly did a double take as she hadn’t even noticed the mare standing there until Luna pointed her out! She was a light green mare with a darker mane. Unlike Spike’s maids whose uniform Spike had picked out himself, hers was a black Prench maids skirt with a wide V cut that went all the way down, exposing her modest B-cup breasts. A small white sash ran along her hips, turning the end of the skirt into a sort of mini blouse as there was nothing below that point. Her legs, flank which showed her cutie mark (a wilting flower in a pot), and even pussy were completely exposed for everyone to see.

“This is Wallflower Blush,” Luna had introduced, squeezing the mare’s rump as she did which earned her an ‘eep’ from the mare. “Out of all the mares the castle has provided for us, I have found a certain kinship with her. To be honest, I’m more than a little fond of her. The same goes for Dreiga. We both simply adore showering her with attention.” As she said this part, Luna’s hand went to stroke the cheek of the green mare whose face was now turning flush. The green mare’s legs began to tremble and Applejack could see fluids of arousal beginning to drip from her exposed sex. “She’s a little hesitant to officially join both myself and my dear husband. She keeps saying the silliest things like how she’s unworthy to be lifted to the same degree as us. Utter nonsense I say.” With that, Luna removed her hand from Wallflower’s cheek before giving her a loud slap on the ass.

“I see,” said Shining, giving the maid a good once over. “Well, hopefully you’ll be able to convince her otherwise. So, any others out there that have caught your eyes?”

“Why of course,” said Dreiga before gesturing over to Ruby Fields. “That one over there caught our eye as soon as we entered. Already had a chat with her before you arrived. Pleasant mare, very pleasant. However, I got the distinct impression that she would rather stay here than move to the Empire. Well, no matter. If we do decide to ask and are refused, it will not be the end of the world. Passing fancy after all. There are others we have thought of to breed. One is a very, er, talkative mare by the name of Autumn Blaze. Do you know her? A kirin! Their numbers are sadly few, mostly mares like here in Equestria. Perhaps one could look at their culture and see it as what might have happened to the ponies had you, Prince Shining Armor, not stepped in. Well, it would be my honor to help increase their numbers. Now, there is another that has caught our attention. A former student of your sister: Silverstream.”

“Silverstream? You approached her about this?” asked Applejack, thinking of her former student.

“No, she approached us,” said Princess Luna, a slight smile playing on her lips. “She is rather curious, eager to learn. And we are more than willing to teach her such amazing pleasures leading up to the ultimate joy of giving birth.”

Before anypony could say any more, a loud clap was heard. One that seemed to echo through the room, drawing the eyes of all into the center. There stood Diamond Mine, slowly lowering his hands, with Ruby Field standing behind him with her hands placed in front of her. But there were others there as well. Standing next to Diamond was a zebra mare. Whether she had been born with those stripes or had been transformed, AJ had no idea. She stood there, completely naked holding a red velvet pillow in her hands. Nestled on top of the pillow was a golden scissor. Also, standing behind Ruby, were four stallions. Two of them were unicorns, slender and looking like they had never worked out a day in their lives. Not even on the playground as foals! Next to them was a pegasus stallion, whose lean muscle mass was evident through the skin tight clothing he wore. The final one was a regular earth stallion, tall and well built. Not os much as Big Mac, but still it was mighty impressive.

“I welcome all of you to my daughter’s Scissor Party,” exclaimed Diamond. “Tonight, she shall take her first steps into adulthood and begin doing her part to help save Equestria from itself. Along with her tonight, are those suitors who wish the honor of breeding her. From the House of Magus, I present their only colt: Thin Tome. From the House of Bits, I present their only colt: Savory Deal.” At that, the two unicorns bowed as polite applause sounded. “Next, from the House of Storms in Cloudsdale, we have the adopted colt and former zebra: Kamalu. And finally, we have the adopted son of one of the wealthiest merchants from Manehattan. The former zebra, now earth pony: Zeru.”

Applejack could not hide the surprise on her face when she heard this. Her eyes glanced over at the two, stronger looking ponies before her. They had been zebra’s at one point? No doubt they had moved to Equestria to help out with their own repopulation efforts.

“Now, to formally begin this celebration, I would like to introduce the stallion who has worked harder than any other to help save Equestria,” said Diamond, extending a hand in the direction of the royal trio, “Shining Armor.”

As the room exploded into thunderous applause, Shining Armor slid his arms out from the hold of his mares as he approached the host. Though, that did not mean that either mare stayed where they were. They followed the prince, their lover, while remaining just a step behind him. As they moved, AJ could see Ruby’s face begin to flush a little in excitement.

“Thank you,” said Shining Armor as he stopped next to the mare holding the pillow. Yet, he did not reach to pick it up. Instead, the stallion turned to address all those in attendance. His eyes scanned the crowd and, only when they fell upon Lady Celestia, did he choose to speak. “While I am grateful for this honor, I must correct one thing you said before we start. While it is true that I have worked hard, suffering the slings and arrows to make Equestria what it is today, we should not forget all the work that had been done to save Equestria up to this point. My sister and her friends, everyday and ordinary ponies who stood up time and time again to protect this land from ancient threats we had thought had been long since past. Those six brought back Princess Luna from madness, defeated Sombra twice, stopped Discord, imprisoned Tirek, shattered the hold the Storm King held over this world, and so much more. Then, they continued to save others as three of them left their homeland to become zebras so that another race could avoid certain doom! If it had not been for all their sacrifices, none of us would be here today. Let us never forget that, nor why they have done so.”

More applause sounded through the room. As this happened, Applejack kept her eyes on Lady Celestia whose eyes almost seemed to burn with anger. Like she wished for nothing more than to turn Shining Armor into a pile of ash, all because she couldn’t accept the truth of his statement. In all honesty, Applejack found it rather sad.

“Now then, we shall begin,” said Shining Armor, reaching over to take the scissor. With his hand, he held it up like a legendary blade for all to see. And for Ruby, it would be for she would never be able to forget this moment. AJ could tell as when Shining lowered the golden scissors and moved just a bit closer, the younger mare began to breathe in deeply with a blush on her face. Even more so when Shining placed the tips of the blades against her coat, just below the neckline of her dress. “With this, you shall leave behind your childhood and be born anew.”

Snip. Silence filled the room save for that one sound that seemed to echo all around as the dress was cut. Another snip soon followed before the noise was repeated. With each snip, more of the dress was cut away almost right down the middle. The deeper the stallion went down, the more the material began to slag and fall off her frame revealing to all the body hidden behind the barrier of cloth. Like a butterfly escaping its cocoon, the adult Ruby allowed her child bearing body to be revealed to the world. First came her breasts as she wore no bra, revealing that she had large areolas but tiny nipples. When they were revealed she made to move as if to cover them up, but managed to stop herself before she did so. More of her dress was cut away, until it was completely removed. Now she stood there, dressed only in plain white panties. Though, not for long as Shining slid the blades of the scissor under her thighs to cut upwards. With one final snip on the opposite side, they too fell to the ground.

“Now you are as you were always meant to be. Liberated from false modesty to enjoy the pleasures of flesh and of giving birth,” continued Shining, placing the scissor back on the pillow. The golden instrument would be moved to the back, later presented to the mare as a keepsake of this day. “Like this, you shall do your part in helping this great nation. A role that only mares like you can do. And it begins right now. Listen to me as I guide you.”

Hearing that, Applejack knew what she had to do. As did Farilla as the two of them moved in sync towards their stallion. Once they were by his sides again, the two mares fell to their knees while their hands caressed his chest all the way down to his pants. Their hands then began gliding over the area of his cock, feeling and stimulating it through the material. As the tips of their fingers began to caress the underbelly of his ball sack, Applejack noticed that the suitor stallions had moved as well. They began to undress themselves, though the unicorns were a bit more hesitant to do so. Shirts were practically ripped off and tossed to the side while pants were pulled down at a blinding speed.

“In the past, mares fought over a single stallion,” continued Shining Armor, his voice holding a tone of dominance while Applejack pressed her mouth over the zipper, humming and sending vibrations towards his mare breaker tool. “But now, those days are over. This is the new path, a better path! Now you shall please your stallion, taking in the seeds of life into your fertile soil. All so that you can give birth to as many foals as possible.”

As he spoke, the suitor stallions began to caress the body of Ruby. Both of her breasts were being cupped and squeezed, her head rolling back as lips were pressed against the nape of her neck. More hands began running down her stomach, feeling her coat while reaching closer to her dripping sex. But that wasn’t all. Hands had taken hold of her wrists, bringing her hands downward to where rock hard cocks were waiting for her. As soon as she touched these pillars of pleasure, Ruby’s fingers recoiled before balling into fists.

“Do not fear them,” said Shining Armor as his pants zipper was pulled down. A moment later his boxers were lowered as well, allowing his dick to spring out so fast that it nearly hit both AJ and Farilla in the face. Both mares leaned in, hearts in their eyes as they kissed the sides. A pleasured hum escaped from the two as they could taste his musk as well as the salt of sweat that lightly coated it. “Embrace their cocks, for they are the tools that shall help you achieve your truest purpose in this world. Through them, you shall be made whole. Watch now.”

Applejack knew what Shining was asking, something she was struggling not to do! Reaching towards her top, she quickly removed it before tossing it aside. Once her breasts were freely swinging out in the open, the orange mare scooted over on her knees so she was right in front of Shining’s cock. With great reverence she took the member with both hands, spitting on its surface before her hands began to pump up and down. Light smacking downs could be heard as she began to spread her saliva and the precum on the fleshy, hard member before her. Soon both it and her hands were slick, with stands connecting her fingers together. Seeing this as she pulled them away, there was a part of her that wanted to lick them clean or offer them up to Farilla to suck on. But she knew this wasn’t the time. Instead, her hands went to her breasts to lift them up and envelope Shining’s bratwurst with the head sticking out past her cleavage.

From there, Applejack’s world was focused solely on pleasuring her stallion. All other noises in the room seemed to fade away, save the heavy, wet matted sounds of her breasts gliding against this mighty shaft as well as when they connected with his hips. Soon, another sound entered the chorus. It was a lusty, throaty ‘ahh’ as she looked down at the cock before her. The apple mare kept her mouth open, tongue hanging hand as she watched the head rise and fall from between her breasts. When it got close her tongue could flick towards, sometimes missing while other times getting the briefest of tastes of his seed. Her breathing soon quickened, sending warm waves of air towards his stallion’s cock as she tilted her head to the side. It was only when she could take it no longer, Applejack’s head lowered letting out another ‘ahh’ sound. As soon as her lips wrapped around the head, she began to loudly swirl her tongue around as she took the bitch breaker in deep.

“Yes!” Shining hissed, a hand reaching down to run through Applejack’s mane. “This is what you should strive for, this level of commitment. Give your all to the service of cocks and become more like Applejack.” Hearing that caused the orange mare to redouble her efforts. Her moments became faster, the cock hitting the back of her mouth and moving into her throat. She never stopped, she just kept going while wet noises could be heard coming out of her mouth.

Then, he pulled away leaving Applejack there on the floor coughing as she caught her breath. Looking around, she noticed that Ruby was trying her best to show the same level of enthusiasm as she had. During some point the newly turned 18 mare had gotten on her back, arms bent upwards as her hands grasped a cock in each. Applejack could see that she held them with all the skills of an amateur, moving too slowly with a grip that was a tad too tight. As for the other two cocks, she was using her mouth. One cock would slam into her open maw, pounding away all the way down her throat as her hips thrashed and juices squirted from her cunt. Then, when that cock was pulled away causing the mare to whimper, the second took its place.

That’s when AJ noticed Farilla. The zebra mare had undressed and had moved closer to AJ, holding on to the taller mare’s shoulders. In an intimate display, the petite zebra stuck out her tongue before tracing the area around the earth pony’s mouth. Lapping up the spit and whatever sexual fluids could be found. It wasn’t long until they were pressed together, orange breasts mashing against smaller striped ones, as Farilla’s tongue snaked into AJ’s mouth. The two future herd sisters moaned while their hands explored the other’s body as they had done countless times already.

“In time, you shall have other herd sisters,” continued Shining. “Do not be jealous of them, for they are there to help. While the life inside of you grows, it will be they who will continue the breeding. When your foal is born, they will be there to help milk up and take care of the young. Then the cycle will begin anew.”

The next thing Applejack knew was Farilla being forcibly pulled away from their kiss. But she wasn’t worried as she knew without looking that there was only one stallion who had the right to take her like this. When she did finally look up, she saw that Shining Armor was holding up the naked mare by her hips facing outward so that all could see the slimmer body of the zebra mare. Said mare was panting so hard that her tiny breasts bounced with each intake of air, her cunt quivering as it winked with Shining’s cock pressed right over the entrance.

Before the entire crowd, the Prince lowered his zebra lover and impaled her on his shaft. Farilla flung her head back, letting out a loud cry as the cock mercilessly passed through her folds, spreading her inner walls so much that she might actually be split in two! And nopony would be wrong in thinking that given the thickness and length of the dick inside such a small body. But, despite that, she took it all inside of her while a bulge appeared in between her hips. As for Shining himself, the stallion let out a grunt but he didn’t pull out. AJ knew better than any pony that Shining loved how tight Farilla’s pussy naturally was. Sure, there were zebra oils that could achieve a similar result, but to the prince he preferred it like this.

Using his hands, he began to lift the smaller mare up and down on his shaft like she were nothing more than a big fleshlight. The mare’s body flailed around, reminding the farmer mare of a rag doll in the hands of an overexcited filly. Her body just bounced there, head rolling from side to side as her tongue lolled out. But AJ could see the faint smile on her lips as well as the heart shaped pupils in her eyes. Like a good mare, she was enjoying this.

Slowly, Applejack got onto her hooves. As she did, she noticed that they were not alone in the breeding. All around them, the guests had removed their clothing and tossed it aside so that their bodies could grind against each other unimpeded. She could see Spike standing there, his large cock hanging out while Apple Bloom, Smolder, and Gabby surrounded his member with their own breasts. As for Scootaloo, she was behind the drake kissing and licking his ass cheeks. At the same time, Princess Luna was sitting on Wallflower’s face as the green earth mare lapped away at her pussy while the Princess’ husband fucked the maid hard. Even Ruby, whose chest was now covered in cum, was getting fucked by one of the stallions as the rest jerked off around her.

That was all she noticed before her lips wrapped around Farilla’s nipple, sucking on it to further pleasure her herd sister.

End Flashback [/hr]

That had been one of the fancier Scissor Parties that AJ had been to. She knew that Pinkie Pie and Cheese had begun their own service, planning out the parties in smaller towns ranging from Ponyville to Appleloosa. Of course, with a Pinkie spin on things. Like covering the special mare in a body butter that gave them an extra flavor when kissed or licked anywhere. And how Pinkie would suck on a fella’s dick, keeping them mighty hard while they waited for their turn.

By this point, the bath was finished. After getting out of the water, the two mares allowed those around them to dry them. After being patted down by some of the softest towels in the world, the two remained standing where they were as their manes were braided. Applejack’s was braided in its normal style, going all the way down to her ass. While her tail was being braided in a similar manner, apple blossoms were placed in her mane. At the same time, Farilla’s mane needed a bit more time as they wanted to make sure that it was striped before having it rest on her shoulder.

Once that was done, a few of the zebra maids came out with their pots full of oil. These were small, no bigger than a chicken egg with a tiny brush that a painter would use sticking out of it. Neither zebra wasted a moment as they pulled out the brushes the moment they were in front of the Prince’s mares. Applejack felt the mare blow onto her nipple, causing it to stiffen slightly, before the brush made contact. The country gal could not contain her gasp before it turned into light panting as the brush traced the hardening nub. It was taking everything the mare had to remain standing as pleasure radiated from her breasts, feeling like they were vibrating all the way to her core. This, in turn, brought back the fog of lightheadedness though she knew there was no reason to panic.

As the zebra mares backed away, another group of ponies went to work in a hurry as there was not that much time left. The rope bands that AJ wore around her wrists and ankles were quickly taken away, though the mare didn’t seem to care about much as new silver ones were attached to both herself and Farilla. Neither mare commented on how the rings shrank slightly after they had been put on, making it now impossible for them to ever be removed. At the same time, a thin silver chain was placed around their hips with a white semi-transparent cloth hanging down in the front that only covered their sex. Similar white cloths were then attached to the wrist and ankle bracelets, all of them long and flowing.

With that, they were as dressed as they would ever be again. Thanks to the daze she was in, Applejack was barely aware that she was being led out of the bathroom and into the hallway where she kept pace with those leading her. Only briefly was she aware of random things around her. The increase of flowers, the smiles of those around her, and music in the background.

The music. It was wedding music. Her wedding music!

A smile appeared on the mare’s face, taking a deep breath as the doors she found herself suddenly in front of opened. Without fear or worry, she and Farilla walked into the Royal Throne room side by side. The room itself was packed, ranging from members of her family both close and distant to the most elite ponies in all of Equestria. They all stood, whispering how jealous they were as well as how beautiful they looked. Briefly, out of the corner of her eye, AJ saw a rainbow colored flash. No doubt it was Dashy, unable to do more thanks to her own pregnant belly. But she didn’t go looking, instead keeping her eyes straight where Shining Armor was waiting for the two of them with the biggest smile she had ever seen on his face. Off to the side and behind him, were two gals she hadn’t seen before: Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Both stood there naked as zebra’s, heads held low as they held velvet pillows in their hands. On the other side of the prince was a large black pot with zebra markings on it.

Once they reached the end, both mares silently turned around to face the crowd. Applejack could feel how nervous Farilla was, wishing she could reach out her hand to take her future sisters in it. But they both knew that would not be allowed right now.

“I thank you all for coming,” said Shining Armor, gesturing for all his guests to sit. Once they had done so, he began again. “This is a monumental day. The first of a new type of wedding, one that I hope will be adopted by all of Equestria in the coming years. Both myself and my lovely brides are honored to be the first. There will be those who will criticize this, but as with my sister, I shall lead by example. For truly, how any of us ask the rest of this nation to do this if we ourselves are not willing to participate?

“First, we shall hear the vows between herd sisters. Farilla, do you accept Applejack to be your herd sister? To assist her in her duty to help birth a healthy population across Equestria? To share your steed’s seed with her without judgment or jealousy for as long as you shall live?”

As Shining spoke, the two mares turned to look at the other. Almost in unison, they reached out towards the other, their arms wrapping around the other before making their way to the other’s flank to give it a squeeze.

“I do,” replied Farilla before planting several loud kisses on the top of Applejack’s breasts.

“Applejack,” continued Shining, “do you accept Farilla to be your herd sister? To assist her in her duty to help birth a healthy population across Equestria? To share your steed’s seed with her without judgment or jealousy for as long as you shall live?”

“Ah do,” said Applejack proudly before bending over to kiss Farilla’s breasts.

“Then prove it now, before the gathered crowd,” commanded Shining Armor, an order that neither mare was in any hurry to disobey.

Farilla was the first to move, bending her knees so that her face was in front of Applejack’s smooth torso. With her striped hands reaching behind to grab hold of orange flanks, the zebra began to make out with AJ’s stomach. Loudly she pressed her lips along the former farmer’s coat, a smacking sound echoing through the room when she pulled away accompanied by loud pants. Farilla’s tongue extended outwards, lapping away as she coated everything before her with her saliva. Applejack, for her part, found it impossible to keep a straight face before the crowd. She knew they were watching as her face began to turn a slight shade of red, her smile wobbly and her eyes almost vacant. Looking like the silly pony so many had called her.

When the zebra finally began to tongue the area of AJ’s hips closest to her sex, the blonde maned mare felt a tiny part of her snap. Reaching down, Applejack took hold of the thin chain that was part of her wedding dress before snapping it off of her like it was nothing more than cheap string. Her strong hands then took hold of Farilla’s shoulders to then push the zebra mare back. With a hunger in her eyes, Applejack watched as her herd sister landed on her back. That was when the earth mare got down on her hands and knees, crawling over to the other who spread her legs as far as she could with that damned cloth covering her sex. Well, not for much longer as AJ ripped it off the zebra’s body with the same ease as she had done to herself. After tossing it to the side without a care, Applejack continued to crawl forward. Her breasts swayed and hips sashayed all while her eyes had the look of a predator that had found its next meal.

And what a meal her herd sister was. Breathing in, Applejack took in the scent of the other mare’s arousal not even needing to look down to see the wet sex and puffy folds beneath her. Yet rather than diving down right away, the earth mare just continued to crawl forward. Once her head passed Farilla’s sex, AJ lowered her head so that she was sure that the zebra could feel the air coming out of her nose on her fur. For a moment all she could see was the trembling form before her. Then, Applejack stuck out her tongue to lap at the coated hips in front of her. The sensation clearly aroused Farilla as the normally timid mare bucked her his slightly as her breathing became louder. The blonde continued her crawl, a smile on her lips as her tongue played with the bounty before her. Soon her breasts were pressing against the striped fur, nipples hardening as they were dragged upwards. There was a desire to speed up and reach the main prize yet the orange pony managed to keep herself in check.

Applejack did not play with Farilla’s breasts as she skipped them entirely so that she was face to face with her sister. Both mares looked into the other’s eyes, panting slightly before their tongues extended outward. The duo of tongues pressed against each other, sliding around as their owners made the lewdest noises. AJ began to grind her hips against Farilla’s while her mouth closed the distance. Striped hands grabbed onto her orange flank as the zebra mare did her best to grind back from where she lay.

For the next several minutes the two just laid there, hips swaying and pressing against the other as the two loudly moaned into the other’s mouth. When Applejack finally pulled away it was met by a needy whine from Farilla. Yet this quickly changed as the country mare turned her body around so that her own puffy, winking sex was directly above the zebra’s face. Applejack cooed as she felt Farilla’s tongue greedily slipping into her wet snatch, lapping away at her sex as if it were the first meal she had had in days. Well, AJ always did like to give as good as she got. Leaning down, she used her fingers to spread the zebra’s sex. But rather than helping herself and digging in, the former farmer inserted two fingers into the wet folds. As her digits began to piston into the pussy below her, Applejack’s tongue extended out to toy with the upper part of Farilla’s vagina.

Time became meaningless to Applejack as her focus was on the pussy before her. As her own pleasure began building up within her core, she marveled whenever Farilla’s hips would shake or buck from her skilled fingers. She watched as juices began to coat her fingers more and more while the scent of her sex became all consuming. Eventually, the juices came out in thicker globs while the striped mare’s body stiffened. Grinning proudly, AJ watched as more orgasmic bliss was ejected out into the rest of the world and coating her hand all the way to her wrist. When it finally ended Applejack pulled her fingers out of the other mares sex to begin licking them clean. A throaty moan escaped her as she relished the taste of honey and wild flowers as well as something slightly bitter, all things that made Farilla’s pussy juice taste divine. Just needed a bit more of an apple taste and it would be perfect.

Applejack then crawled off Farilla before spinning around to sit on her flank with her legs spread. As the striped mare sat up, still panting with a glazed look in her eyes, AJ scooted forward. One of her legs moved over Farilla’s as their pussies pressed against each other. Now, with her arms planted behind her in order to keep herself steadied, Applejack began to mash her sex against Farilla’s. The zebra mare let out a moan, head rolling back as she almost fell backwards. AJ could feel the other’s clit poking against her own hood causing the orange mare to blush, her own clit peeking out. Somehow Farilla, despite the numerous micro-orgasms that were no doubt assaulting her body, managed to place her own hands on the floor behind her. Now everypony there could see it, their clits poking out and rubbing against the other’s as the two mares ground their hips. Their cries could no longer be contained as whenever their heads weren’t thrown back they were looking at the other with nothing but lust. Their minds were nothing more than jelly at this point as concepts like morality were utterly expunged from the mind of Applejack. The only thing she cared about was pleasing her herd sister. That and…

At that moment something appeared in her vision. Shining Armor had taken out his cock, having the hard member hanging out between the mares. With a look of sexual hunger in their eyes, both mares leaned forward. Their arms wrapped around the other to keep themselves up, hips still grinding against the other, while their noses and lips pressed against the fleshy member. Applejack felt more of herself break apart as she inhaled the scent of her stallion’s cock, mouth watering as she remembered its rich taste.

“Good mares,” purred Shining Armor as the two opened their mouths and began dragging their tongues along his length. “All here have borne witness to your devotion. They have seen that you shall never disrupt your house. Now, all that remains is your final submission to me: your Master-Husband.” Applejack felt herself climax when she heard that, falling down onto her back as words echoed through her. The orgasm was intense, her eyes rolling in the back of her head while a stupid smile appeared on her face. Somehow through the haze, she looked up to see Farilla using her mouth around Shining’s cock. A cock so massive that the earth mare didn’t know how she managed to fit it all in without dislocating her jaw. But somehow she managed, bobbing her head back and forth all the way to the medial ring.

“Take my seed,” grunted the prince. “Take my seed and drink. Let this be the pact.” With one last grunt, Shining Armor’s cock began to twitch as Failla’s cheeks puffed out. AJ never saw her swallow, only pulling back in time to allow a rope of cum to splash across her face. Before the next rope was fired, Shining turned to look at Applejack who felt his hot load slash against her heaving chest. The country mare blinked and, in that span of time, Farilla was taking up her vision. The zebra mare parted her lips causing Applejack’s eyes to widen slightly as she understood what was to happen. She opened her mouth wide just in time for cum to fall out of Farilla’s maw. When the zebra closed hers, so did AJ as the two got on their knees before facing the crowd. Together they opened their mouths, showing everypony there the white seed before closing to swallow.

For a moment, the two mares remained where they were before the crowd, panting slightly. Then, Applejack felt her mane being pushed to the side right before she felt something cold being pressed against the back of her neck. She did not turn around, rather she just closed her eyes in acceptance of the ring that soon closed around her neck. As soon as it did, she could feel it adjusting so that it would fit perfectly around her like a collar. One that could never be taken off, for the opening mechanisms would soon cease to exist, making it a solid ring. And she knew the same was happening to Farilla.

“Now for the second vows,” said Shining. Applejack, her mind still feeling like mush, felt Farilla’s hands grab her as the ceremony continued. The mare soon found herself on her back, Farilla pressing her body on top of her own, while their needy sex’s winked. As they got into this position, Shining Armor reached into the black pot to coat his hand in a new oil. Looking at it, a small voice in her head told the Apple mare to leave. To push Farilla off and get as far away as possible. AJ, however, ignored this small voice as she watched her stallion apply the oil onto Farilla’s flank causing the mare to shudder.

When it was Applejack’s turn, she felt like she was experiencing another orgasm while the nay saying voice inside of her screeched. It felt like warm tendrils were moving their her flank and into the very core of her being, wrapping themselves tightly there in an embrace that felt too damn good to ever let go. She could also feel something going on inside of her. With her womb. And that made her happy.

“Now, Farilla,” began Shining Armor as he lined his cock with her sex, the mare cooing at the sensation. “Do you accept me as your Master-Husband? To be my submissive Servant-Wife till the end of your days? To bear only my foals unless given permission? To raise them properly to serve both the family and nation?”

Before Farilla could answer, Shining Armor plunged his cock deep inside the small zebra mare. Thoughtlessly, Applejack watched as Farilla’s teeth clenched tightly while her eyes watered. The only sound AJ could make was a moan as she felt their sexes rubbing against the other caused by the stallion’s thrusting. Without mercy Shining continued his thrusting, causing the mare above to shake back and forth. Applejack could feel her breasts moving, nipples pressed into the body above her creating new waves for friction as her pussy drooled. Speaking of drool, that was what was escaping Farilla’s mouth as it opened slightly and her eyes taking on the look of sexual mania. Any sign of the normally shy, timid mare was gone, replaced with a creature that seemed to exist solely for sex.

“I, Farilla, give my all to my Master-Husband,” grunted Farilla as she raised her head as far as she could. “I offer him of my own free will body, mind, and soul. To serve him in every way. I shall do all I can to birth many healthy sons to help protect our house and daughters to tend to its needs. I shall serve him and all of Equestria, bringing forth the new generation. I am your Servant-Wife.” A moment later, Farilla’s body became slack as its full weight fell on AJ. The taller mare could feel the smaller one twitching as well as a bright light flashing just out of her vision. But such things were quickly forgotten as she felt Shining Armor pulling out of Farilla, his seed dripping down and landing on the exposed lower lips of Applejack.

“Applejack,” continued Shining Armor, the mare’s heart beating faster as she now felt the flat head of his cock pressing against her sex. “Do you accept me as your Master-Husband? To be my submissive Servant-Wife till the end of your days? To bear only my foals unless given permission? To raise them properly to serve both the family and nation?” With that, he entered her.

Applejack’s mind went to a whole new level as she felt the bitch breaker filling her all the way to her womb. Her mind went blank while that small voice inside her screamed its last before vanishing for good. She could feel his cock rubbing against her inner walls, preparing to blow his load inside her. At some point she found herself looking at the crowd, seeing their happy and excited expressions for her. To receive the joy of utter submission. To no longer have to work from sun up to sun down on a farm that struggled to stay afloat. To no longer have to suffer pains from working all day in the fields while rich folk reaped the rewards. There was a new life ahead of her, a new destiny. That of the Second Servant-Princess of Equestria. To give birth to a whole new Royal line for her Master-Husband.

“Ah, Applejack, give mah all to mah Master-Husband,” grunted Applejack as she felt Shining Armor increase the pacing of his thrusts. “Ah offer him of mah own free will body, mind, and soul. To serve him in every way. Ah shall do all ah can to birth many healthy sons to help protect our house and daughters to tend to its needs. Ah shall serve him and all of Equestria, bringing forth the new generation. Ah am your Servant-Wife.” The thusting became wilder, power forceful as her master reached his climax. As her womb flooded with cum, she felt that warmth around her core expand like an explosion that wiped something away. She was changing, feeling parts of herself being rearranged to fit the destiny that she had pledged. Something on her flank was burning, missing in with the sexual bliss to make it all the more impactful. Hopefully she would be able to experience this level of joy once more as she knew she could never, nor would she ever want to, swear herself to another stallion.

“With that, the pact between Master and Servants has been completed,” said Shining Armor as a throne was moved behind him. The Master-Husband sat down, cock still hard and dripping with cum. Knowing how wrong that was, the two Servant-Princesses of Equestria got on all fours and crawled over to the throne. The room burst out into celebration as they watched the two swaying their flanks, large globs of cum running down their thighs.

Once she and Farilla were close enough, they both laid on their side so that all could see their naked bodies uninhibited. No, not mah body, thought Applejack as a hand caressed her side while her eyes glanced down at her new cutie mark. It was still three red apples, but on each of them was Shining Armor’s cutie mark. Like the apples themselves had been branded. Soon, her pussy would be branded as well, a clit ring piercing this body with her Master-Husbands cutie mark. Hopefully, he would do it before the crowd. This body belongs ta mah Master-Husband. They can look all they want, but only he can use it as the incubator it was always meant ta be.

With that, Applejack turned her head to look at the cock still dripping with sexual fluids. Not wasting any more time, she stuck out her tongue and began to lick it clean before the gathered crowd.

Meanwhile, Celestia stood in front of the sliding window door of her home in Silver Shores. A layer of dust covered most everything, a clear result of not having been here since the whole situation with the zebra’s began. If she had bothered to look up, she would have seen a spider wrapping up its still struggling victim within its massive web. The only spot that had been cleaned recently was the couch directly behind her where Chrysalis laid thumbing through a magazine featuring the latest celebrity couples.

“Do you think the ceremony is over?” asked Celestia, eyes seeming to gaze out at the beach and the endless ocean before her. But, there was no lustful smile on her face as there would have been when she first arrived here with Luna. Her eyes weren’t undressing every mare who came into her line. No, they were focused on something that could not be seen.

Behind her, Chrysalis gave a shrug without bothering to look up from what she was reading. “Who can say,” she commented. “Perhaps if a certain impatient former princess hadn’t been so impulsive, then her invitation wouldn’t have been revoked.”

“Is that how you see me?” asked Celestia.

The former changeling queen rolled her eyes. “That’s how all of Equestria sees you now,” the black mare said in a dull tone. Like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Bet it’s even replaced the image of you doing nothing but eating cake.”

If that had been meant to get a rise out of Celestia, it failed spectacularly. “Good,” said Celestia, a smile appearing on her face as she turned around to look at the mare who would be her partner in crime. “Now we can begin in earnest to save Equestria. I will continue to act like a mare who has lost her mind while in public, drawing their attention towards me. Meanwhile you, my little spy, will continue to gather information.”

“Oh?” replied Chrysalis, looking over at her boss with a single eye. “Let me guess: you want me to try and find more proof that poor little Twilight was betrayed by her big, strong brother. Well, if you don’t succeed the first thousand times, try, try again.”

“No,” said Celestia as she walked towards her own chair in this dusty and moldy room. With a gesture of her hand, all the filth that had rested on the seat as well as all the creepy crawlies that had made it their home vanished in golden light. With a grand gesture she sat down, bringing her hands up and pressing the tips of her fingers against each other. “I’m done collecting proof. I need you to find me a certain mare. One who I believe has all the answers we seek so that I may return Equestria to the way it once was. I need you to find me Zecora.”

At the same time, Dreiga strode through the halls of the Crystal Palace with a scroll in hand and a slight skip to his step. A scroll that bore the seal of King Zed, the letter written in his father’s own pen. The zebra prince was none too worried about having such a thing out in the open for he feared no eyes falling upon its text. In fact, should one of the crystal ponies here ask him what was in the letter, he would have happily given the letter. Well, presuming they could read it. But if they could, they would find nothing more than his father warmly congratulating him, not just for becoming the father to an alicorn/zebra hybrid colt but for also becoming the ruler of the Crystal Empire. Nothing sinister or incriminating, no hidden messages that could be seen by rubbing a lemon over the parchment, and so forth.

Really, how stupid would one have to be to even hint of an evil plan and then place it on page? After all the manipulations, all the careful planning, to even consider risking it all by writing it down? That would be the same as to monologue your evil plan in a room you thought was just you and your target only to discover you were being recorded the entire time! No, his father was not that stupid as he didn’t even share all the details of the plan with his own children.

But, that didn’t mean Dreiga didn’t have some idea. His father had perhaps found the ultimate way of conquering the world. Not with armies battling armies like Ikas wanted, taking land before doing everything they could to defend it. No, this was a war of culture. To spread their way of life to all corners of the globe. To assimilate new traditions, altering them so make them their own. And when there is only one culture, one way of living that every creature accepts, will borders really matter? It will be the zebras that determine what is acceptable, what is valued. Something that will carry on for generations to come.

As the zebra prince turned down a different hallway, he spotted a few of the crystal mares. Unlike in Equestria, they had not yet had the ‘sexual awakening’ or ‘sexual renaissance’. Both mares were wearing white toga’s that wrapped around a single shoulder yet it was done in a way that ensured both breasts were well covered. Not only that, but the length of the material went all the way to their knees. Such a pity, he would have liked to see them expose one breast at the very least or had a slit cut down starting at the flank to get a better look at the flank.

Oh, the joys of life he was giving up for love.

Sighing, he made his way to the Chamber of the Crystal Heart. There in its center stood the Princess of the Frozen North, Dreams, and the Moon. She stood there, beads of sweat forming on her brow as she kept a hand on the Crystal Heart while her horn glowed a bright, almost blinding, white light. Moments seemed to tick by, Luna’s breathing becoming more heavy as she was no doubt putting her all into her task. Then, without warning, the light faded.

“I take it your father is still unaware of what we are doing?” asked Luna as she lowered her hand.

“That remains to be seen. I suggest we proceed as though he is aware and is simply biding his time until he can do something about us,” replied Dreiga as Luna turned to face him. Mostly nude, the mare was now showing off her enlarged belly while milk leaked slightly from her engorged breasts. A vision of loveliness that stirred his cock, though he restrained himself in order to protect the life within.

“Then it is safe to presume that he simply doesn’t think of us as a worthy threat?” asked Luna.

At that, Dreiga nodded in agreement. “My father is well aware that even the tiniest cut can bring forth an infection that can wreak harm to the body,” said the stallion as the alicorn mare approached him, a bit of a sway in her steps. “Though I am fairly certain that he expects such a cut to come from Celestia, the only alicorn thus far that has remained…untouched by zebra hands. As for ourselves, I feel confident that he fears our betrayal no more than any of my other siblings. It is a possibility and he has no doubt taken steps to hinder us. Which is why he ordered the creation of special wards to prevent a certain mare from intruding into his dreams.”

“Oh,” said Luna, bringing a finger to her lips while her green eyes flashed with something both wicked and playful at the same time. “Well, I certainly hope he didn’t spend too much of his budget on those ‘protections’. It would simply be a shame.”

Dreiga felt himself go pale. “Did you…surely you didn’t break through the protective charms,” he whispered. “Even a novice would be able to see the damage. My father will then know for certain that we are acting against him. He will take more direct steps to-” The zebra prince was then silenced as Luna placed a single finger on his lips.

“Dearest beloved, who do you take me for?” she asked. “I have had more than a single lifetime of experience moving through dreams. Those barriers did little more than protect the surface of your father’s dream as well as any other zebra nearby. I did not need to break anything, merely gliding underneath to the deeper realms of his subconscious.”

“I see,” said Dreiga with a sigh of relief. Then, he looked over at the Crystal Heart. “Is that what you were using the Heart for? To give you a boost of power?”

Luna shook her head. “Neigh my dearest,” she said before glancing at the heart. “Such acts are of trivial nature for myself. You would be surprised how many times I used that trick on my sister to plant ideas into her head on what to get me for my birthday.” As she spoke, there was a slight smile. Then, just as Dreiga was about to ask if she had ever done that to him, Luna continued to speak. “However, my abilities have their limits. Range and the amount of ponies I connect to do place a toll on my powers. Tapping into the Heart allowed me to minimize that. Thankfully, now that I have found my way into the minds I seek, there shouldn’t be any need to do something like this again until the final phase of the plan.”

Dreida’s eyes widened at that. “You found Twilight?” he asked.

Luna nodded, her face becoming solemn. “I did,” she said. “Her along with Fluttershy and Rarity. Though, their minds have been warped to a far greater degree than I would have originally thought possible. They are losing themselves in the fiction created by the oils. Twilight most of all. The others at least have some small memory of Equestria, but her?” She then took a breath. “Their bodies might never return to what it once was, but I shall do everything in my power to return my friends’ minds back into what it once was. Especially Twilight’s. I owe her that much.” The Lunar Princess’s eyes then took on a hardened look. “While it is a pity that Sunburst has decided to embrace the new Equestria, we were lucky to find a suitable replacement for him before leaving the capital. We should let Moondancer know that she can start her tests. The sooner she finds a way to use the Crystal Heart to purify what the zebras have done, the better.”

At the same time Servant-Princess Twilight of the Zebras was in the throes of passion. As her king laid within his royal bed, the mare had planted her hooves to his sides to fully expose her pussy to any who entered the chambers. Over and over, she repeatedly impaled herself on top of the great cock that belonged to the stallion that ruled over her, not once stopping. Her fur was matted in sweat, mane clinging to her body while milk mixed with sweat was flung from her nipples. She had just been cleared to be impregnated again after giving birth to her third filly and was eager for another one.

Laying next to the king was the first Queen who looked on at the sight before her with an aroused expression. Though she was now barren, unable to ever experience the joy of creating life within her, King Zed’s love and kindness towards her kept the older mare by his side. A fate which Twilight hoped she would receive as well once she was no longer able to grant more fillies.

That would be such a wonderful life.
