Orchard shrank back a step from Minuette's peer. "Uh, it's complicated... Both are true in different ways, and lies in different ways. Ain't tryin' to doublespeak, just am that." She was a double pony! She had no history before Big Mac, so she couldn't say she was born as an alicorn properly... "I should get back ta lookin'. Nice chattin' with ya."

"Aw." But Minuette was letting her withdraw. "Have fun and be safe, alright? I want to run into my favorite night princess again."

Orchard came up short. "What about Princess Luna?"

"I know you better than her." Minuette shrugged with a giggle. "She's plenty nice and I do appreciate a dream guard, but I know you. It's hard to meet that with her bottled up in her castle most of the time."

Orchard allowed a nervous smile. She was someone's favorite princess! That was good, right? But also awful... "Ah'll do mah best to stay worth it then."

"You'll do fine." Minuette was shooing her away. "Go on and do what you like doing. That's all I'm asking."

Orchard made good her escape on quick hooves with her ears pricked for trouble. The city was quiet, well, not literally. The city always had noise going on with so many ponies in the space. But they were peaceful noises of ponies living side by side without fussing or arguing. She had helped make sure it was so! Was it her fault, or was she a small bit of that pie?

She shook away those big thoughts. "I..." She took flight, looking around. "I should visit..." She launched herself in a dart that was fast enough to reach Ponyville a moment later. She could see Vinyl Scratch's house and smile at it. But she didn't bother that mare again. Nope, she had a different mare to come a knockin' at.

Orchard hovered outside a window and willed it open carefully. "Ya awake?" She slipped inside, looking around in the gloom.She spotted a lump on the bed and smiled as she creeped towards it.

"What are you doing?" The question had not come from the lump. Orchard Blossom jumped into the air in surprise, coming down facing her girlfriend across the room. "I was getting a drink of water."

"Oh!" Orchard inclined her head slowly. "Was gonna surprise ya." She had failed at that, getting surprised instead. "How are ya feelin'?"

"A little sleepy, but happy you came by." She set her glass aside and hopped from her chair to her hooves. "Gonna have to head back soon. I can't lurk here forever." Orchard didn't stop her from coming in close. "So I'm really glad you came by. I didn't want to pressure you." Orchard wasn't stopped from leaning in, or touching. Nopony prevented her from planting a gentle kiss on Sugar's lips.

But that was all things that she was allowed to do, passive things at best. It was Orchard Blossom's choice to kiss her back, and to set a hoof on her, drawing her in. Their kiss deepened into one of active volition on both sides as they melted together with the warm passion of shared adoration that, for that moment, didn't have any limits drawn by the gender of either pony.

Orchard inclined her head for a better seal, feeling and rubbing with her hooves over Sugar's back and sides slowly. She drew back enough to whisper, "Don't you need ta sleep?"

"And miss this?" Sugar landed a quick peck on Orchard's cheek and nuzzled against the soft fur. "Mmm, you still smell nice." She began to groom the fur with slow nibbles. "I'm kissing a mare... and I think it's alright..."

[start clop]
Orchard chuckled softly. There she was, kissing a mare too, but that was normal for her. Shoot, it was her girlfriend! She just... happened to be a mare too, that part was new. She captured Sugar's closer ear and flicked her tongue into it, making it jump and dance at her teasing motions. "Love you."

"Love you too so much." Sugar Belle nudged Orchard back. "Think it's time to make use of this bed. Very comfy, let me tell you." With her help, she got Orchard onto it even as she snuggled in against the princess. "You were already the monarch of my heart, you know that, right?"

Orchard could feel her heart quickening as she rolled up on top of Sugar. She was usually the one on top, though she rapidly realized she didn't actually know what to do up there.

Sugar nuzzled under her, her horn poking and teasing on its trip down along Orchard's belly. "Silly girl, just... let me handle this." Her warm breath tickled at the fur of her belly and lower in its search for something. "I know what you need, so let me give it." What was it Orchard needed? She tried to get a peek, but couldn't easily without drawing away from Sugar. Her girlfriend's nuzzles starting hitting a different patch. It went from warmly close to sharply exciting in an instant. "Found it."

She leaned in and flicked her tongue in a slow caress over what she had found, drawing out a surprised gasp from Orchard. "Yeah, thought so." Sugar nuzzled slowly, teasing the sensitive flesh with the fur of her snout and enjoying the dancing wriggles of Orchard above her. "Welcome to being a mare. This is what makes you that, and it's a classy lady too. You have to approach it right." She licked gently in a circle around Orchard's quivering portal. "Have to woo it, just like the rest of a mare."

She didn't have a lot of experience with other mares, but she knew how that part worked. Shoot, she'd... had experience with exciting that part. "Ayup!" Orchard tensed and shuddered as something new happened. She was trembling and weak. For all her mighty princess powers, she was helpless before her girlfriend that had found the most sensitive button she had. "Oh..." Orchard's tail whipped about as she weakly tried for a position that got Sugar even closer and deeper.

Sugar wasn't letting Orchard move her any faster than she planned to go, sinking only slowly against her helpless girlfriend. "Just so... we're clear... I'm still your girlfriend." She kissed Orchard, but down there instead of anywhere up top. "And girlfriends do things like this." Was she convincing herself in part? Perhaps she was, but it was working as she attacked with renewed vigor. "Gonna play you like a big flute." Each twitch and cry from the big mare made her smile a little. "And I'm ready to try something new."

"Somethin' new?" That made Orchard twist enough to peek at her. "Ain't this new?" She was pretty sure these were entirely new sensations she was feeling! "Yer doin' jus' fine." More of that, please, more!"

"It'll get better." Sugar was a blunt horned unicorn. This was a source of mildest ribbing from other unicorns, being of a short rounded horn instead of a long and pointy one. Well, short and rounded was exactly what she wanted. She lowered her head and angled it as she glowed with a new light, warming up. "Right... now." She pushed upwards, slipping her horn right into that wet slippery tunnel. It went in without resistance and a gasp that sounded as much of shock as anything else.

With her girlfriend impaled, Sugar rhythmically pumped her neck up and down, driving it into the helpless princess. Her magic focused on that point, warming to skin temperature as she drove carefully into Orchard Blossom with increasingly needy pushes. She felt like she was working towards something she couldn't put a hoof on, but it felt great, being with Orchard. The noises her girlfriend was making implied she was having just as much fun. "Don't get... too loud. We are in your family house." Both blushed at the reminder that other ponies weren't that far away and could hear them.

That didn't stop them. Sugar's eyes widened. "H-hey!" She had expected Orchard to relax and enjoy being lavished and ravished, but she began to feel a questing snout. Orchard was returning the favor with her snout and tongue in eager laps. No horn, but that was likely for the best. She was a princess! Princesses had long pointy horns that were ill-suited for the task. "Dang it!" It felt good and made her insides tremble with joy. Orchard knew how to tend a mare back there, having done it to her a few times. They were a healthy couple!

But she had a job to do, and she was going to do it. Sugar pressed her head up firmly, sinking her horn into that waiting hole as deep as it would go. A strange new trembling overtook her and she went stiff, twitching faintly as, unseen, her horn exploded in new sparks and lights from the inside of Orchard Blossom's quivering passage. "O-Oh... Wow..." She had experienced her first horn-gasm, which wasn't a thing she even knew was a possibility. "Wow..."

Not that this stopped Orchard Blossom. Even as Sugar Belle started to go slack with wonder and fatigue, Orchard was attacking all the more fiercely, and each touch felt more intense for her vulnerable position. Every touch of that tongue and caress of her fur was like an electric shock that ran through Sugar's body with muted yelps. She trembled and squeaked as she rode female high points like a small boat on a stormy sea.

She crashed against the rocky shores with a cry that was only muffled because she bit firmly into a pillow and screamed into it rather than wake up the entire household.

Orchard slowly stood up and clambered off Sugar Belle with a cocky smile. "Ayup."

"Don't look so happy." She poked the princess on the snout. "We already knew you were just fine at that... Uh... How'd I do?" Sugar felt dizzy and overwhelmed, and remained on the bed, watching Orchard Blossom. "Tell the truth."

"Ya did powerful fine." She shuddered softly at the words. "But... ya alright? Ya..."

"I get it." She set a hoof on Orchard's cheek. "I kissed a mare and I liked it. No hiding it anymore. I smooched her and it was nice... Now... What?" She looked up where a rag was approaching her horn.

"Cleanin' ya up." Orchard casually wiped off Sugar Belle's slick horn in slow rubs that made her shiver and kick at the bed. "Ya don't want to sleep like that, ah reckon."

[end clop]

"No... No..." She closed her eyes with a little sigh. "Thank you... That was amazing! My offer is still open though... When you go to see Princess Luna, I'll be there." She set a hoof on her chest. "Just come get me, even if it's midnight or whatever. Shake me awake if you have to."

"Don't want you gettin' tired an' stuff." Orchard shuffled in place. "Yer a day pony."

"So are you." She rolled her eyes. "And a night pony. You're both! Once in a while, visit. Let's go see Luna, first of all, alright? I'm with you!" They met, nose to nose in a gentle nuzzling rub. "I'm yours, silly pony, no matter what you are."

"Yer too kind." Orchard shied back a step. "Ah should get back... That was... That was fun! Ah'm right glad we're together."

"Don't go forgetting that again." Sugar stuck out her tongue at the princess. "We weren't ever not together, silly. You are my special somepony... I promise."

"I promise," Orchard said, not spelling out what the promise was, but both seemed to understand what it meant. She came back in and smooched Sugar's cheek. "Sleep well."

"I will now." She closed her eyes with a happy smile. "Knowing you're out there, but still with me. Just..." She yawned powerfully. "Remember to come get me, when you go to see her. Ain't letting you go alone!"
