The Best Massage

“How did I? More importantly…how’d you?”

Princess Twilight repeated while still staring at the mare standing in front of her.

"Your guess is as good as mine, Twilight. All I remember is being at school stressing over a test...then...poof." She looked around. "What about you? And also...um...where exactly am I anyway...and how?"

"Well, Sunset if I had to guess...I'd say Ponyville Day Spa." Princess Twilight replied, she put her hoof to her chin for a second. "I was doing research, believe me...my neck will testify. If I had to guess how for some reason Discord comes to mind."

"Didn't he hook up with Fluttershy awhile back?"

"It's never been officially..." Her voice trailed off when she spotted none other than Discord and Fluttershy walking right past the room she, and Sunset Shimmer was in.

Discord turned back and looked right at Princess Twilight with a devilish grin.

"Uh...are you okay Twilight?" Sunset asked seeing the expression on her face.

"I'm fine," Twilight replied and then realized she'd narrowed her eyes.

"If you say so..." Sunset turned and spotted Fluttershy's long flowing tail as she walked out the front door. "Fluttershy?" She turned back to Princess Twilight. "Discord was with her right?"

"Yup. He did this."

"Don't look so mad Twilight, it's not all bad," Sunset replied in her usual calm voice.

"Well, he can be a real pain in the hoof." Images flashed back to the time they talked at Pinkie Pie's house in the human world. She was also fighting a blush that wanted to show the second she'd spotted Sunset Shimmer.

"Calm down Twilight. You could give me a hug for old-time sakes if that'll help." Sunset lifted an eyebrow, she didn’t mind being back in her pony form, not having to wear clothes felt so much better.

Twilight took in a deep breath and felt the muscle in her neck start to protest. She rubbed the back of her neck with her hoof.

Sunset walked up to her and extended a hoof and smiled at Twilight. “I won’t bite, promise.”

Twilight smiled and pulled one of her best friends into a hug. "Thank you, Sunset."

Sunset had wrapped her hooves around Twilight's neck. “Anytime Twilight-” Her eyes opened when she felt a knot on her neck. "You need to find a better way to read books or set some kind of timer." Sunset figured the second option wasn't going to work.

“I hadn’t noticed it because I’d lost track of time.”

Sunset giggled at her. “Sounds normal for you Twi.”

“Well, you do know me,” Twilight said pulling back from the hug, the kink in her neck had other ideas. She winced and leaned forward, opening her eyes she found that she was staring into Sunset’s sky-blue eyes. “Oh…um…sorry.”

“Sorry? Sorry for what?” Sunset replied with a grin. She’d caught the blush on Twilight’s cheeks. “I see your cheeks are a little pink.” She heard a little gasp from her best friend.

“Sunset…I wasn’t…I’m…” Twilight bit her lower lip and wanted to slap herself for letting out a gasp she found that she hadn’t been able to control.

“I was studying for a test in health class, one of the topics was on massage and how it helps the human…well in this case a pony’s body relax.”

Twilight felt her lips move before she realized she was even speaking. “Are you being serious or...” Mentally she blew out a breath when she’d forced herself to stop midsentence. She prayed that Sunset hadn’t caught that.

“Serious Twi, why would I lie to you?” Sunset backs up a bit and tilted her head.

“I’m sorry, I just blurted that out.”

A single word echoed in Sunset’s mind. “Or…as in?” Sunset watched the pink hue still on Twilight’s cheeks spread father. What are you hiding Twilight?

Twilight cleared her throat. She heard.

Sunset looked over at the massage table. “I’ve only…read about massaging…I’ve never actually done it. Want to be a genie pig?”

“I’m a pony.”

“An alicorn is more like it Twi,” Sunset replied.

Twilight could feel her heart racing at the idea, and the twinge in her neck was being well, a pain in her flank. “Sure, maybe it’ll help you pass your test.” Wait, did I just agree to this? She found herself moving towards the table. Opening her wings she lifted herself off the ground and landed on the table, setting down she looked at Sunset. Well…I am helping out a friend after all.

Sunset moved in slow steps up to Twilight, keeping those sky-blue eyes on Twilight. The feeling of that warm hug was still fresh in her mind and on her fur. It’s been away too long, I think Discord did us a favor. I bet Twilight knows it too, she is just too shy to admit it…yet.

Twilight watched her walk up to the table, the way she walked sent heat rushing through her body. Her throat had for some unexplained reason gone dry.

Sunset watched as Twilight had yet to avert her eyes. “You can lay on your stomach, I’d have better access to your neck, than if you were to lay…face up.” She said standing near the head of the table.

Twilight pushed the thought of lying face up out of her head, trying to picture how that would look and how Sunset might react. Just ignore that curiosity, which would just get awkward. How could I even have explained- Her thoughts came to a sudden thought when she realized that she’d laid down, stretching out her back and front hooves, her tail hung over the front of the massage table swaying gently. A hoof laid gently on her neck, glancing up her eyes were right at Sunset’s chest level.

“You, okay?” Sunset asked feeling her body tense up for a second.

“I’m…fine,” Twilight said and realized that her voice was higher than normal betraying her own words.

“Really?” Sunset said leaning down a bit and putting her other hoof on the other side of Twilight’s neck where the knot she’d felt earlier was. “Your voice says otherwise.” She happened to glance down and notice where Twilight was staring. Sunset’s eyes widened. “Oh…sorry…I should have moved to the side.”

“Saying sorry has been my thing, Sunset,” Twilight replied while lifting her gaze to Sunset, her dark purple eyes were sparkling, and she smiled slightly. “You’re fine, I promise.”

Sunset noticed the look in Twilight’s eyes. “Um…you said you were studying.” This might work, I can tell something is bugging her.

“Huh? Oh, yeah, I was…mmm…” Twilight let out a small moan as Sunset used both of her hooves to start rubbing on the sides of her neck.

“Find a good spot?” Sunset cleared her throat. “Um…I mean what were you studying?”

I was reading a book…just not a book on magic, or herbs… She bounced ideas in her head as Sunset’s hooves moved from the base of her head down to where her neck reached her shoulders. “Roman-”

“I’m sorry what was that?” Sunset asked hearing just part of a word come from Twilight.

Twilight blew out a breath that sounded more like a low moan. “Romance.” She said and knew Sunset would feel her body tense up again.

“As in a book? I thought you said you were studying.” Sunset said letting the grin ring out in her voice.

“I figured you’d react like that,” Twilight said

“Of course. Then why’d your body tensed up again, was it that good of a romance book? Do tell, what part of the book were you studying?”

“I…um…” Twilight felt Sunset’s hooves start to work her shoulders. Her neck felt like new like the knot was never there. She could have asked Sunset to stop but she wasn’t about to. The massage was feeling too good. “You’re defiantly good with those hooves.

“Thanks, Twi. Now about your studying…” She’d learned over and whispered the last word in Twilight’s ear.

Twilight was about to let out a gasp, she had her eyes closed and hadn’t expected Sunset to do that. “You’ll…um think…I’m…weird.”

“I never pictured you as the type to read a romance book.”

Twilight rolled over on her side and stretched out her hooves. She flipped her tail up and let it hang loose again over the side. “Well, it was Rarity’s idea.” She admitted and figured she should give a little history. “A few days ago I was looking at Rarity’s bookshelf at her Boutique and she’s got quite a collection of books.”

Sunset lifted an eyebrow. “With Rarity being like the one I know in the human world; her reading books don’t surprise me. Heck, some of them make me blush.”

“Which one did you read?” The thought hadpiquedd Twilight's curiosity.

“Sure you want me to tell you?” Sunset asked. I think that'll be how I’ll find out what’s going on. She thought while grinning inwardly her hooves to work her sides. She kept the pressure over her hooves firm yet light.

Twilight started to giggle but not from thinking about the book she’d been reading; Sunset had unknowingly found a tickle spot. “That tickles, Sunset.”

Then tell me what book you read, or I won’t stop. She thought to herself and wanted to say out loud. “Feeling better?”

Twilight took in a breath and lifted her neck so she could look at Sunset. “Actually…yeah. The kink in my neck is gone. You’re good.”

“Glad I could help you,” Sunset replied while keeping her hooves on Twilight’s side. She could see a blush on Twilight’s face. What are you thinking about? The book? Or…

“Um…Sunset…”

“Twilight, look, I know something is going on with you. Whatever it is…” She noticed Twilight looking at the sunset with a different look in her eyes. “I’m right. Whatever’s going on, it’ll keep bugging you-”

“It’s you.”

Sunset paused and just stared at Twilight when she said that. She studied Twilight for what felt like forever, it was the look in her eyes that told her it wasn’t anything bad.

Twilight could see the wheels turning in Sunset’s head trying to figure out what she’d meant. “It’s not in a…bad way…” She could feel the side of her lips wanting to curl up into a grin. When Sunset’s cheeks started to turn red that was when Twilight cleared her throat. What are you thinking about? She thought that and realized that she’d also said it at the same time.

“I’ve been wondering something.”

“Go on…” Twilight said, growing more curious.

“You’d started to say something just before I went back up to bed after we’d talked, and I gave you the motivation to do that counter spell.”

“That was years ago Sunset.”

“I know…” She smiled and turned her head to the side. “I…um found that I was thinking about it from time to time,” Sunset admitted, that she was sure that Twilight could hear her heartbeat hammering in her chest and threatening to crack her rips.

Memories flooded Twilight’s mind and that conversation came back. Her eyes widened. “Never mind it’s not important.” She repeated those words like it was the first time she’d said them.

Sunset turned back to Twilight and nodded. “That’s it.”

Twilight rolled over onto her back so she could face Sunset. She kept her back hooves drawn up and closed. “Sunset…you do know me well.”

“Of course I do Twilight, we’ve been through so much over the years.” She leaned down and placed her forehead on Twilights. “How could I not know someone I’ve always been close to.”

“I’m afraid it’ll do something to our friendship.”

Sunset lifted an eyebrow. “So you’ll let whatever’s going on keep bugging you instead of confronting it head-on.” She could see a look in Twilight’s eyes. It told her that she wanted whatever was bugging her to come out. I think I know what it is… Should I just…ack? Make the first move?

“You, okay?” Twilight asked seeing Sunset’s lower lip start to quiver. It’s happening, our…my secret, yet…yet…I think it’s a mutual secret. That we share. Twilight thought as her front right hoof reached up and touched Sunset’s cheek.

Sunset froze at the contact. Her gaze lowered to Twilight, and their eyes met. “If we…we…can’t go back…to…just…” Sunset found herself unable to speak and it was Twilight who had been having trouble talking.

“Looks like I have you nervous now Sunset,” Twilight said with a grin that turned into a giggle.

Sunset grinned back at her she let herself relax a bit. “I think our secret is obvious.”

“I did want to say something to you…I was just…to shy.” Twilight could feel a weightlifting off her shoulder.

“Believe me I could tell.” Sunset replied.

“So…um what now?” Twilight asked.

“Well…we could act on it seeing where it takes us…or we just forget about it.” I’ve got a feeling that you don’t want to just forget about this.

Twilight felt her lips curve into a smile. “I’m guessing that you want to just forget about this?” She watched the color in Sunset’s blue eyes darken a bit. I’ll take that as a no. Her other hoof came and touched her other cheek.

Sunset grinned and nodded. She lowered her lips, so they were a breath away from Twilight’s lips. “You could still stop.” Please don’t stop…

“And drive us both nuts! Are you crazy?”

Sunset couldn’t help but giggle at that. “Good point…”

They both leaned in at the same time. The second their lips met all resolves came undone in that brief moment, all doubts, all self-worries were gone. It was just them and only them in mind and heart.

Sunset slid down over Twilight's body feeling the heat and softness of her fur.

Twilight let out a soft moan as she felt Sunset's weight on her body. She'd opened her back legs letting Sunset Shimmer's hind quarters slip inside. Her back hooves curved around Sunset's flank.

Their lips hadn't parted or stopped moving. They even breathed as one, their lips moved together.

They broke their first kiss at the same time, and both took in deep breaths. The craving for air had become too much for both of them to keep ignoring.

“Well…” Sunset said in a breath.

“Amazing…” Twilight replied with a grin with her hooves still holding on to Sunset’s cheeks. Well, we can’t go back to being only just friends, now it’s on another level.

Sunset could feel the heat still on her cheeks from that first kiss, from Twilight’s hooves, and the emotions flooding her body. I didn’t think it would feel this…good. “Better than you were thinking from that first kiss?”

Twilight moved her hooves to wrap around Sunset’s neck, she used one of them to stroke her mane. “Even that book I’ve been reading hasn’t even come close.”

“Really? You haven’t said what book you’ve been reading. Are you ever going to tell me?”

Twilight smiled and replied, “It’s Mare and a Lost Heart.”

“Oh that one, huh? I have the human version of it.” She raised an eyebrow. “It’s got a few more scents than the pony version you have. In the human world, it’s called The Heroine and a Lost Heart.” She grinned. “Humans can do so much more, yet unicorns have magic.”

Twilight noticed the grin and the look in Sunset’s eyes. “You’ve got something in mind, don’t you?”

“Oh, I might.” She could feel her heart still racing when she added. “I just wasn’t going to say anything.”

“Yeah…I could see why-” Her voice trailed off when she felt Sunset’s hips starting to move from side to side ever so slowly. She felt the feeling in her core rise to the surface. That need, a need for relief, yet this one felt different, new, and exciting in a way she couldn’t explain just yet.

Sunset watched as Twilight’s eyelids slowly closed.

Twilight’s mind floated like ripples in the ocean. The heat of Sunset’s body mixed with hers. She opened her eyes as Sunset started to side down Twilight’s body. Her hind quarters sat on the floor. Her nose was at the edge of the massage table, her eyes were fixed on the area that any mare would keep hidden unless they were comfortable showing to a significant other. “I’ve um…never…”

Twilight couldn’t help but stare at Sunset and how she was just looking at her. She let out a short little gasp as Sunset slid her tongue out and licked her lips wetting them. Her gaze lifted to Twilight, with a darker shade reflecting in her eyes. “This is up to you.”

Twilight could feel her heart nearly stop when she simply nodded, she watched Sunset’s jaw drop open a little.

Sunset opened her mouth and blew out a stream of air. She watched the lips that were already wet start to twitch a bit followed by an intake of air from Twilight. “Hum…” She had her cheek on Twilight’s thigh when she said that.

Twilight could feel the vibration from Sunset. “Did that on purpose.”

“Maybe-“ Sunset said and without a second bet moved forward and felt the wetness on her lips, the warmth, the scent that made her core instantly react, that had been driving her nuts was now driving her wild. Her tongue came out and pushed past the lips. She let out a gasp when she felt herself being surrounded by magic.

Twilight had used her magic to pick up Sunset and rotate her, so Sunset’s backside was facing her. Why should only one of us try something new. I doubt she’ll object. That'll be a first for me too…

“Twilight…” She glanced back and managed to get her friend’s name out as she felt her core being invaded by Twilight’s tongue. Sunset let out a gasp at the new feeling, her body shuddered at the sensation. She leaned her head back down and focused on what she’d started doing to Twilight. She found that her focus now was a little askew.

Even though Ponyville Day Spa was empty their combined moans echoed in the room, they’d let go giving into the buildup of emotional and physical relief.

Sunset started to clench her back legs doing her best not to squeeze Twilight’s head too tight. She could feel Twilight doing the same thing.

The magic started to swirl around both of them, combining them into one single color. The wind started to whirl around them, They could both feel themselves lifting off the massage table from the power of their combined magical auras. A white light started to flow outward from both of them illuminating the room. Seconds later the light became a bright flash, and a combined scream echoed from both Sunset and Twilight. Their combined climax had the growing even brighter the light shot out like beams of sunlight through the windows of Ponyville Day Spa.

The light faded as the pair floated back down onto the massage table. Both of them were panting and trying to catch their breaths. Minutes felt like hours before either of them found the strength to even speak let alone move.

“Wow.” The word came from both of them at the same time.

Sunset used her magic to help herself off the massage table. Her legs wobbled a bit as she tried to stand on her four hooves. She shook her mane and felt her tail brush against a now very sensitive area. When I go back…the girls are going to have questions. She took in several deep breaths and found her strength was starting to return. “Could I interest you in coming back to the human world with me? It doesn’t have to be today. You can message me your journal.” Sunset explained to Twilight who’d rolled over on the massage table.

Twilight could feel how relaxed she felt from hoof to hoof. Her neck pain was gone, and so was any other kind of pain she’d had. What she wasn’t able to explain was the eruption of magic, it felt like an outward pouring of emotions that combined with their magic. The thought of Shinning Amor and Princess Cadence came to mind. No…we’re just…friends…closer friends perhaps…but…

“Hey you, okay? Twilight?” She asked tilting her head to the side.

Twilight blinked as she’d just come out of a trance. “Huh? Oh, sorry just a little lost in thought. Would I come back with you? Of course, I would, it sounds like fun.” Then I’ll half to face our CHS friends. That’ll be…awkward. Her eyes widened. Oh, plus I’ll need to tell my friends here.

Sunset smiled she had a feeling she knew what Twilight was thinking, there was only one way to find out. “Don’t worry Twilight, we can talk to your friends here, fill in a few…gaps.”

“Yeah…uh…huh? Sunset how’d you-”

Sunset walked over and kissed Twilight on the lips. “Simple, it’s because I’ve gotten to know you by now.” She smiled as she left Twilight with her jaw-dropping open.

“Yup…” Twilight replied with a smile. “So um…how do you want to go about talking to my friends?”

“Oh, I’m sure we could find a way and I’m sure that Discord would help out.”
