Twilight sipped her drink while reclining in her chair, the cold mix of orange juice and vodka burning her throat. The small tumbler shook gently in the mare’s magic, wistfully rolling back and forth as the unicorn contemplated things. The other people gathered around the table in the dark bakery were in a similarly quiet, introspective state, though for different reasons.

The table between them sported several cards in its center, while piles of chips were assembled before the various players seated. Twilight had none but was determined to do better, thus the book on ‘poker for dummies’ currently floating before her. The first out, Twilight waited her time while Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash continued to play the game.

Or at least they would if Rainbow Dash would decide on an action rather than chewing on her lip and flickering her cards. The two slivers of cardboard flipped back and forth repeatedly, much to the growing annoyance of everyone else present.

“Gosh darn it Rainbow Dash. We ain't even playin for money. Just call, fold or raise already,” Applejack complained, slamming a hoof against the table.

“Just give me a second, you walking lie detector,” Rainbow Dash shot back.

Applejack rolled her eyes. “I ain't even that good at sniffin y'all out. You lot just got really obvious tells.”

“I do not,” Rarity scoffed, the fashionista pausing to take a sip of her wine.

“You raise your eyebrows whenever you get somethin good,” Applejack retorted.

“I…” Rarity frowned. “Noted.”

“Ha. Good luck using your freaky honesty magic on me. Like a book written in greek, I’m unreadable!” Rainbow Dash declared, hoisting her beer and chugging half of it in one go.

“You sit up higher in your chair when you have good cards, and sit lower when you don't,” Applejack declared. “Also, that doesn't make sense. Anyone who knows greek can read greek.”

“What? I thought that was like the saying, ‘it's all greek to me’. Doesn't that mean no one can read it?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“You’re half right. It means that you personally don't understand it,” Twilight retorted.

“Exactly. Now play your cards ya overgrown cockatoo. I gotta get back to the party upstairs, their playin my song,” Applejack stated, pausing to take a swig of her whiskey.

“Really? Sounds like Tick Tock, not Old Town Road,” Rarity exclaimed.

The girls, save Applejack, all shared a snicker at the farm pony’s expense. The earth pony merely growled bitterly to herself, finishing her drink and stewing in silence.

“I’m all in,” Rainbow Dash declared.

“Yeah I’ll call that,” Applejack replied, pushing her pile of chips into the growing mound.

“If it means this game is over faster. I am in as well,” Rarity stated.

“Aha, two pair! Read ‘em and weep!” Rainbow Dash proclaimed.

“Four of a kind,” Applejack smugly one-upped.

“Wait, does that beat a straight flush?” Rarity asked, the mare flipping her cards over to reveal that was indeed what she had.

“I uh…” Applejack cursed. “It does.”

“Huzzah. Finally, this is over and we can get back to the party,” Rarity declared.

“Wait. You gotta give me my punishment for losing!” Rainbow Dash proclaimed.

Rarity sighed. “Just, drink the rest of your drink or something.”

“Can do!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

“Pfft, lame,” Applejack added, the mare sipping the last of her own drink.

“Great, now let us return to the party upstairs. I am tired of playing poker in the Cake’s kitchen,” Rarity complained, rising from the baking island they had been using as a card table.

“Oh come on. I think I got it now! One more game?” Twilight pleaded.

“And raise the stakes this time!” Rainbow Dash yelled.

“Yer drunk enough already, ya lazy galoot,” Applejack muttered.

The door leading to the second floor suddenly flew open, revealing a familiar pink pony with a lampshade on her head. Music billowed out from the distant get-together, only to be abruptly cut off when the door slammed shut a moment later.

“Woo, what a nutty party, emphasis on the nut part!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed, stumbling towards the table and hooking a leg around Twilight's shoulder. “What about you guys? Did it get crazy down here too?”

“Pfft, hardly,” Rarity murmured bitterly.

“Unless you count Twilight losin a bunch as crazy. We’ve just been playin some cards,” Applejack added, riffling shuffling the aforementioned cards.

“Oh neato!” Pinkie Pie proclaimed. “What did the loser have to do? I bet it wasn't as crazy as what Fluttershy did!”

“Rainbow Dash drank a beer,” Twilight pointed out.

“Wait, what did Fluttershy do?” Rainbow Dash asked, leaning across the table.

“You're not going to believe it but she did seven minutes in heaven with Big Mac, and get this. She let him fuck her right in the butt!” Pinkie Pie shouted, throwing her hooves in the air in emphasis.

“Yeah that tracks,” Rainbow Dash muttered.

“Wait. Fluttershy? She did that, here? At this party, with him?” Applejack rattled off questions.

“Yupper doodles! She even got an out, and didn't have to but by then she was getting all turned on so she did it anyway,” Pinkie Pie continued.

“Wait. That tracks? Is this a common thing for our wide-hipped, and large flanked friend?” Rarity inquired.

“Yuuup,” Rainbow Dash muttered, peering up into the empty beer bottle hovering over her head. “She just loves butt stuff. Rimming, strap ons, public. It doesn't matter, so long as someone’s got something up her booty hole, she's in.”

“Woah. I didn't know she was so… easy,” Rarity murmured.

Rainbow Dash tossed her empty bottle across the room and into a recycling bin with a loud clang. “Nah. It ain't like that. If you’re a close friend and she trusts you, then she’ll do that. It's not like she’d let just anyone up in that junk-filled trunk of hers.”

“Really… you don't say,” Applejack murmured.

The farm pony, the fashionista, and the librarian all looked at one another as if attempting to read the other’s mind. Then, as one they stood up, pushing their way out of their chairs, and rising in unison.

“I think I’m going to go back to the party. As Fluttershy’s good friend, I should check to see if she is okay with what happened,” Twilight offered.

“And I will make sure she is still presentable for the party,” Rarity added.

“I guess I’ll check on Fluttershy and make sure Big Mac wasn't bein pushy,” Applejack hastily muttered.

“Don't bother. She was really clear with her consent. Plus she only had like, three drinks, and the last two were water,” Pinkie Pie declared. “Oh, and she went home. Flew straight out the window she was so embarrassed.”

“What? Already?” Twilight blurted.

“Yupper doodle! Said she had all the fun she could handle and that she needed to rest,” Pinkie Pie answered, blowing an irritated raspberry. “I respect her decision but it's still such a bummer. I had like, a dozen peeps volunteer to start riding a train on those perfect, supple yellow flanks of hers.”

“I don't think Fluttershy would be into that,” Rainbow Dash remarked.

“Oh I know, but did you know that trains can switch tracks?” Pinkie Pie whispered, peeking under her lamp shade in order to shoot Rainbow Dash a wink.

The pegasus chuckled. “Oh ho ho. Someone’s a bit turned on.”

“How could I not be? Fluttershy makes the sexiest noises imaginable while someone is balls deep in her pooter,” Pinkie Pie shouted.

“Wait, that was her? I thought you were watching porn again,” Rarity exclaimed.

Pinkie Pie rolled her eyes. “That was only one time.”

“Pinkie Pie, you turned Thorn Berry’s eighteenth birthday into an orgy because you accidentally left girls gone wild in the VCR,” Applejack pointed out.

“It's not my fault! There were just so many sexy ponies around and I wanted to dampen the mood with a nature documentary, only I forgot I was getting jiggy with it that morning,” Pinkie Pie muttered bitterly, hooves crossed over her chest.

“As much as I want to take a trip down memory lane. I best be hittin the ol dusty trail,” Applejack proclaimed.

“Err yeah me too. Got a big lesson plan in the works for tomorrow. Fluttershy will be there and I have to make sure everything is perfect,” Twilight added.

Rarity cursed bitterly under her breath. “Darnit. I forgot about that. I’ll have to change my strategy, and see about getting some alone time with our friend and that prodigious posterior of hers.”

“Yeah, that's great and all but I gotta go. See ya,” Applejack declared before sprinting out of the room.

Twilight and Rarity joined her a moment later, their pace far slower than their friend’s. Both unicorns were deep in thought, minds whirling with plans, and considerations. Leaving Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie to sit in the kitchen, alone with a pack of playing cards sitting between them.

“I’m surprised you didn't run out the door too,” Pinkie Pie offered. “It seems like everyone wants to get into Fluttershy’s huge tush.”

Rainbow Dash chuckled. “That's because I don't have to make an effort. Me and Fluttershy, we got a thing.”

“A thing?” Pinkie Pie inquired.

“All you need to know is that I know her buttons,” Rainbow Dash paused, giggling to herself. “Heh. Buttons, emphasis on the butt.”

“Really?” Pinkie Pie pushed the lamp shade further up her head. “What kind of buttons are we talking about here?”

Rainbow Dash smirked and extended an empty hoof. “Grab me a beer and I just might enlighten-”

She was interrupted by the pink pony vanishing in a flash and returning a heartbeat later with a beer. Which was deftly placed atop Rainbow Dash’s waiting limb, the cap already missing and foam spilling from the top.

“you,” Rainbow Dash muttered.

“So… What kind of buttons are we talking about? Public, domination, BDSM? Or maybe something really kinky like hoof holding? Cus I’m down to eat some cake if you catch my drift, but a girl’s got her limits ya know,” Pinkie Pie pressed.

“Hah, no. Well, sorta,” Rainbow Dash cleared her throat. “Look, all you need to know is that Fluttershy-”
