The Rise of Passion

The kettle whistled in the kitchen and Starlight rushed in to turn off the flames. She poured the water from the kettle into the pot, rehydrating the leaves. When Sunburst made tea, there was a chance that he would put the leaves directly in the kettle and boil them, giving the tea a distinctive burnt taste. He was always surprised with how Starlight was always able to make it better.

With just a dribble of honey, she brought the tea back to the living room. She'd been thus far unable to find an opening through which to approach the problem of needing Cadance and Flurry out of the way, and she was running out of ways that were less aggressive. Unlike with Trixie, tipping off Sunburst would have dire consequences if he did not join their side. The amount of sway he held with the royalty would not be inconsequential if he were to take their side, and that meant that he could not be blamed if something were to happen to Twilight. Not to mention the fact that, with how aggressively Flurry was pursuing his knowledge, he would likely have an alibi.

"So, what's a typical day for you, working at the castle?"

Sunburst ignored the question, his eyes glued to his book as he wrote something down on a nearby scroll.

"Sunburst?"

"Hm?" He looked up. "Oh, the tea, yes. Sorry, I forgot."

Starlight put on a fake smile, the same one she always had when Sunburst was too distracted to listen. "It's okay. I could only find two cups, though. Have the others not been delivered?"

"It only came with two, actually." He picked one up. "In fact, this one's never been used. Maiden voyage of cup number two!" He took a sip, and shook his head. "How are you so good at making tea?"

"I just follow the directions. Now, you were telling me about your typical day working at the palace."

"Was I?" He thought about it and shrugged. "I don't remember where I was..."

"Don't worry, we weren't that far. Just start over, and as long as you cover everything, I don't mind anything said twice."

He chuckled. "That sounds just like Flurry. She's always saying that I don't have to push so hard to make new lessons for her. As long as I show up, it's a good day."

"Sounds like the two of you are close."

"Oh, we're inseparable! Every morning she jumps into my hooves for a hug. How about you? How are your friendship studies going?"

Starlight cleared her throat. "We were talking about you."

"Right, sorry. Anyway, we have breakfast together, because she always asks if I've eaten yet, and of course I forgot to prep something for breakfast. Then we go on to our lessons for the morning, then lunch, then a practical exam. Once that's done, I return her to her mother. She begs me to stay, but I have to find something for her to do the next day."

"Sounds lovely."

"I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world."

"Anything in the world?" growled Cozy. "Anything at all?"

"I can't believe it, either," sighed Starlight. "I gathered all kinds of information, but nothing that can turn him to our cause. No matter what, he's going to keep tending to Flurry as if he were her father. I mean, he's not, but--"

"Enough!" groaned Cozy, folding her legs. "You failed, but at least the door's still open. I'll just have to come up with another plan. You're dismissed, Starlight."

Starlight shuffled out of the room, and Trixie followed. "I might have an alternative," she assured Starlight, "but Cozy says she'll only do it as a last resort."

"I'd rather wait for her decision," huffed Starlight. "I know you probably worked hard on your plan, but right now, I need to practise more."

"Well, I'll help you with that, then," proclaimed Trixie, puffing out her chest. "Come on, I want to show you what I bought."

Trixie grabbed Starlight by the hoof and pulled her into their shared bedroom. Trixie had only just begun sleeping there, and was still a registered renter elsewhere, but she was all too happy to share Starlight's bed if it meant she could feel her hooves while they slept.

Trixie reached under the bed and pulled out a box. "I was saving this for a special occasion, but since you're having trouble, I think it might be better if you have it now."

Starlight opened the box, and her eyes lit up. "You can't be serious?"

Trixie nodded. "Trixie is very serious. You used a technique that cemented me into your plan, in a way that you must have practised. In order to bring in another stallion, you need to be just as skilled in the opposite direction. Normally, the greatness that is Trixie is capped in that way, but this will at least be able to give you something to start on. Just... It's enchanted, so don't go all the way, right away, okay?"

"Oh, like I could do all of this at once," chuckled Starlight, pulling out the strap-on dildo. "How much did this cost, anyway?"

"My dignity," blushed Trixie. "But it's worth it, if you like it."

"I love it," smiled Starlight. "Put it on; we're going to try it out."

Trixie looked to the door. "Right now?"

"Right now. I need as much practise as I can work in."

Trixie shuffled her hooves nervously, then took the dildo, closing the bedroom door. She slipped it on and crawled onto the bed. "N-now, Trixie's new to receiving, still, and clearly never this way, so let's start slow. Maybe just see how far you can fit in?"

Starlight crawled between Trixie's legs and started dragging her tongue along the underside. "Have to make sure it's all slippery," she explained.

Trixie was trembling, wondering why she had purchased the enchanted one, rather than the normal one. Then she remembered that the whole point of it was to have Starlight wear it while pounding her pussy. She had never intended to wear it herself, especially this early in their relationship. Still, Starlight was important to her, and she wanted to ensure that she had all the tools she needed to succeed. Even if it did mean she would be experiencing the sensations of Starlight's blowjob.
