Up high in Rainbow Dash’s extravagant cloud home, Gilda was keen on making herself feel at home, taking another can of soda, piercing the side with her beak, chugging it all in one fell swoop, and burping as she threw it to the side.

“Geez, Gilda, save some soda for the rest of Equestria,” Dash muttered sarcastically, seeing the pile of cans she’d have to clean up later.

“You got like a dozen more in the fridge, you’ll live.”

Dash flipped over onto the couch next to Gilda. “Yeah, well you wanna do something other than draining my fridge?”

“Sure, we can go flying for a bit. Need to stretch my wings, anyway.”

The two left Dash’s house and took to the skies, speeding high in the sky. Rainbow Dash and Gilda flew side by side, matching each other's speed as they passed the clouds below.

“Aw yeah, that’s more like it!” Dash laughed, feeling the cool air shoot underneath her wings.

“Heh, life never slowed down for you one bit, huh, Dash?” Gilda chuckled.

Dash clicked her tongue and smirked. “You know it! C’mon, I’ll race ya to Twilight’s castle!”

“Ugh, a race? I’m still full of soda…” Gilda put a hand to her stomach

“So you’re chickening out cause you know I’ll win, then?” Dash waggled her eyebrows.

“Alright, that’s it!” Gilda clenched her fists, knowing she couldn’t let that slight against her pride go unchallenged. “Prepared to get smoked!”

“Then why don’t we make this interesting? How about we bet the usual?”

“Really? Geez, you must be desperate…” Gilda rolled her eyes. “Fine, if it’ll make you happy…”

“Yesss!” Rainbow pumped her hooves in pre-emptive victory. “Alright, ready? GO!” The pegasus leaned forward, flapping her wings faster to get ahead of Gilda, leaving a rainbow-streak trail behind.

Gilda let out a low growl, pushing her wings to flap faster to try and keep up. It’d be nice to actually win again, now that “the usual” was at stake.

After the two finally started to feel fatigued from flying, they landed on the clouds to rest and recover.

“Ahhh, it’s good to be me!” Rainbow Dash declared, smugly leaning back, sinking down a bit into the clouds.

“Yeah yeah, whatever…” Gilda muttered as she landed next to her. “I woulda won if I wasn’t so full…”

“Well, maybe that’ll teach you to not just sit on my couch and take all my food when you visit!” Dash smugly countered.

“Hey, that’s not all I did while I was there!” Gilda said indignantly. “I also saw that new nightcap by your bedside.”

Rainbow Dash nearly choked on air as she sprung back up. “You did WHAT?!”

“I mean, it’s cute,” Gilda smirked, leaning closer to really get underneath her skin. “It’s nice that your boyfriend gave you something so special.”

Dash’s face instantly crinkled up in disgust. “Oh FUCK you, Zephyr’s not my boyfriend. He just gave me something nice, that’s all!”

“And the thought of a gift from him didn’t repulse you at all?”

“What, was I supposed to just throw it away? I’ve wanted that thing for months.”

Gilda cocked her head to the side and raised an eyebrow, still hitting her with an insufferably smug grin.

“Ok first of all, Zephyr’s still gross, he’s just been considerably less gross than usual this month,” Dash tried to say in defense, not wanting to admit there was even a moment she was impressed by his actions.

“I’ll get the wedding invitations ready,” Gilda taunted, elbowing Dash in the ribs. “You know he’s absolutely gonna make sure you’re his first, right? Unless you wanna tap out now…”

“Fuck that!” Dash dismissively waved her hoof. “I still wanna win! I could do without the constant dreams I’m suddenly having about him…”

“So what’s your plan on getting away?” Gilda asked. “Unless you’re banking on him losing it in the last five days.”

Rainbow Dash paused to think. “I mean, I could always just get busy with you. If I can pry you away from Pinkie’s sister, that is.”

“The fuck you mean by that?”

“Oh please,” Dash scoffed. “Like you don’t have a thing for her!”

Gilda stuttered as blush started to show through her feathers. “Dash, come on! I barely know her!”

“But you’re spending more and more time with her because you want to know her, don’t ya?” Now it was Dash’s turn to be smug. “I mean, the group spa day was one thing, but then it was just you two at the cafe, at the movies…If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that you two were going out on dates!”

Gilda clenched her fists like she was ready to knock Dash out cold. “Alright, listen, she’s the one that fell for me, got it? I mean, not that I blame her, I’m pretty awesome.” She ran a hand through her head feathers, slicking them back.

“Well now I’m definitely gonna have a hard time getting you two apart in December!” Dash snarked.

Gilda sighed, putting a claw on Dash’s shoulder, speaking half-sincerely, half-threateningly. “Listen, Rainbow Dash. I will help keep you away from Zephyr as long as I’m able to, if you do me a solid in return.”

“I’m listenin’...”

“I know it’s a long shot, but…can you get me two tickets to tomorrow’s Wonderbolt show?”

“Pssh! No problem!” Dash grinned. “Bit of a late notice, but I can pull it off for your date!”

“Ffff…!” Gilda swallowed her rage. “So help me, if you try and embarrass me in front of her I will end you, got it?”

“I gotcha, G!”

Gilda sighed in relief. “...Thanks, Rainbow Dash.”

“I’m just flattered you think seeing me perform is a good opportunity for you to get closer to your crush!” Dash teased.

As she was busy chuckling to herself, Rainbow Dash looked around the skies and underneath the clouds. “Ya know, no one else is around, and I did win that race…”

Gilda raised a curious eyebrow. “You’re gonna cash it in now?”

Dash laid down on her back and winked. “It’ll shut me up for a few minutes.”

That was enough to convince Gilda. The griffon lifted up her legs, planting her paws straight onto Dash’s face.

Rainbow Dash wrapped her hooves around Gilda’s ankles, pushing her feet closer to her cheeks as she rubbed her muzzle against those paw pads. She let out a little groan of pleasure into those precious paws.

“You’re so fucking weird…”

“Shaddap or I tell Pinkie you two are getting engaged.”

Gallus was lost in thought. December was only a few days away, and he was so, so horny, and the recent string of eliminations wasn’t helping. Seeing Gabby do that to Professor Rarity was too enticing, he couldn’t just forget about that moment. He could already picture himself in place of Rarity, having Gabby reach around him and tenderly whisper to him as she stroked his-

Before he knew it, he caught himself with his hand around his dick. “Damnit!” He clenched his teeth, trying to actively keep his hands away from his crotch.

“Gotta think of something…” he muttered, trying to think of some way to curb his libido. He was so close to the end, he didn’t want to blow it now! There had to be a quick fix. Maybe some sort of spell or-

Gallus gasped in epiphany. Zecora would surely have something. After all, they all drank something to make them see every clopout, surely she’d have something to dull his horny needs!

The griffon took deep breaths, trying his best to make his boner go away before rushing off.

As he frantically sprinted past the edge of Ponyville to make it to the Everfree Forest, Gallus could hear someone frantically screaming his name. He hit the brakes, his heels skidding across the dirt as he came to a stop.

Fluttershy quickly caught up to Gallus before he went into the forest. “Gallus? Where are you going in such a rush?”

“Oh, uh, Fluttershy! I…uh…just wanted to go and see Zecora for…something!” Gallus mentally kicked himself for telling such a horrible lie.

Fluttershy turned her head towards the forest. “Well, you might have trouble today. Zecora went out to Froggy Bottom Bog a while ago.”

“Fuck…” Gallus mumbled his breath. “How am I supposed to fix this now?”

“Zecora’s not the only one who’s good with potions, you know,” Fluttershy said. It was pretty obvious what Gallus was alluding to, but she was willing to play dumb for a bit.

Gallus’s eyes widened. “So, you can help me, then?”

Fluttershy simply giggled, turning towards Ponyville. “Not me, but I know somepony who can.”

“So, you need mah help, huh?”

Apple Bloom tented her hooves, listening intently to Gallus’s troubles in the Crusader Clubhouse, standing at her podium like some sort of grand counselor.

“Look, Zecora’s not in today, and Fluttershy said that you’re one of the best potion makers around,” Gallus explained, sweating bullets. “I…I don’t think I can last much longer!”

“Ah dunno…” Apple Bloom mused. “Ah make somethin’ to help you out, then you tell all your friends, and pretty soon Ah’m busy making potions for everyone! And ingredients ain’t cheap!”

“I won’t tell a soul, promise!” Gallus pleaded. “Can’t you just give me something to get me through the day?” His breath was getting labored, and his cock twitched between his legs.

Apple Bloom didn’t look convinced, “Hmm…”

Gallus got onto his knees, clasping his hands together as he bowed down. “Please, Apple Bloom! I’m about to lose my mind, here!”

Apple Bloom tapped her chin in contemplation. Helping out Gallus would go against what she and the other Crusaders set out to do.

Although if some sort of accident happened, she could knock out two birds with one stone. Or at least, one griffon and a pegasus.

“...Fine, Ah’ll see what Ah can do…” She said, pretending to be reluctant. “Gimmie a bit to get all the ingredients…”

“Ohhh thank you thank you thank you! If this works, I owe you so so so much!” Gallus exclaimed in relief.

Over at Sweet Apple Acres, Applebloom, Gallus, and Fluttershy stood in the kitchen. Different bottles of spices and liquids were on the table as Apple Bloom brought the pot to a boil.

“Just try to keep yerself in control for a few minutes while Ah make the thing, alright?” Apple Bloom looked back at Gallus as she started adding some ingredients into the pot.

Gallus clenched onto the edge of the table, trying to make sure his hands were occupied. His eyes were shut tight, trying to think of something totally unsexy.

Fluttershy watched Apple Bloom do her work, but then turned to look at the ingredients she was using. It’s not that she could check that Apple Bloom was following the recipe, but she was naturally curious. Most of the bottles had familiar plant names on the labels, but one of them in particular was left unlabeled. The pink petals looked familiar, but she couldn’t quite place her hoof on why…

Apple Bloom stirred the pot, adding in each ingredient as she went. She side-eyed Gallus trying his best to keep his hands to himself. With a smirk, she lifted up her tail and rocked her hips from side to side.

As soon as Gallus felt a little bit calmer, his eyes cracked up, and the first thing he saw was those toned, applebucking thighs, rocking hypnotically in front of him. An exasperated string of babbling left his beak as he tried to tear himself away from looking.

It took a lot of inner willpower for Apple Bloom to keep herself from snickering or looking back at Gallus. She continued her work, trying to act like her motions weren’t intentional.

Eventually, the mix was completed, and Apple Bloom poured it into a potion bottle. “Alright, get yer hands ready. Give it a bit to cool, but if you drink this, ya should be fine.”

Gallus held the bottle in his claws, feeling its warmth in his palms. He was trembling with anticipation on finally getting some relief.

…But why’d the drink have to be white?

Fluttershy was still looking at the ingredients Apple Bloom used, still caught up on the unlabeled petals. “I know I’ve seen these before somewhere…”

Gallus sighed in resignation, putting the rim to his lips and tipped his head back. The potion went down smooth, having a creamy and sweet taste that almost felt intoxicating to drink.

“It looks like the petals of a Heart’s Desire flower…”

By the time Gallus heard Fluttershy, it was already too late. “Heart’s De-WHAT?”

“Wait, what?” Apple Bloom looked over at the unlabeled jar with Fluttershy. “Oh shoot, that ain’t Kirin’s Song!” she said, feigning innocence.

“What do you mean? WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN TO ME!?” Gallus screamed, already sweating bullets. He could feel his body start to overheat in his panic.

Apple Bloom shrugged, pretending like she didn’t already know the answer. “Dunno, but you shooould be fine?”

Gallus wiped some sweat off his forehead. He was feeling so hot. In fact, everything was feeling so hot. His needy and twitching cock was now throbbing, begging for a hump, a stroke, a touch, anything. “Fuck…oh fuck!”

“G-Gallus? Are you alright?”

“I don’t…I need to…! Aaahh! Fuck!” Gallus panted. He tried to ask for help, but his mind was fighting the ever-growing urge to stick his dick in them. Every passing second meant his head was being flooded with increasingly hornier thoughts and fantasies, making him dribble pre onto the kitchen’s hardwood floor.

Fluttershy approached Gallus, making sure to stay cautious as he started to writhe in place. “How are you feeling?”

“You’re the hottest teacher in school and I’ve always wanted to see what it’s like to have your wings wrapped around my dick!” Gallus said, unprompted and unfiltered.

Fluttershy instinctively took a step away from Gallus and turned her head towards Apple Bloom, blushing heavily at Gallus’s horny confession. “Oh dear, can’t you do something to reverse this?”

“Huh? O-Oh!” Apple Bloom felt her heart skip a beat. She figured that Gallus would’ve given in by this point, and now Fluttershy was putting her on the spot to undo all her hard work. “U-Uh, yeah! Just need a bit to make it, but it might be too late for him.”

“That’s fine, I think I can handle things.”

Fluttershy approached Gallus again, but as he started to lustfully reach out towards her, she flew around and bear-hugged him from behind, making sure to restrain his arms and wings.

“Hfff…Sandbar did this to me during summer break…” Gallus grinned, trying to wriggle out of Fluttershy’s grasp.

“Alright, I got him. Go fix things!”

Apple Bloom’s face briefly fell in disappointment. Now she actually had to go and make Gallus return to normal. She could just leave them like that, but Fluttershy would put her in serious trouble if she did.

Still, she could maybe stall as long as possible and hope…

“H-Hey Apple Bloom…” Gallus panted. “Remember that one time you walked in on your sister tying me up in the barn? It made the moment even hotter!”

Aaaand now she had an incentive to fix things as soon as possible.

Good to see that after Gabby went out, the other two griffons are doing so well.
