Elements of Lust

Plots, plans and preconceptions

Previous Chapter

Twilight and Big Mac smiled as they left the barn. They enjoyed each other's company. But they both knew they had work to do. And neither of them was ready to admit how close to the question they were. However, none of that mattered the moment Big Mac saw his sister.

"Y'all seeing… what I'm seeing?" He asked Twilight as she turned to look.

"Applejack and… Zephyr Breeze? Wait… is Zephyr… working?" She gasped.

"Eeyup. And she's… laughing?..." He replied.

"Eeyup…" She mirrored as they watched the two in complete shock. "Maybe you should keep an eye on them. I'll see if something happened in town."

Nodding the two shared a quick kiss before splitting up. Both hoped for it to be a miracle. But neither had much hope for THAT stallion.

Spike smiled as he watched Rainbow examine herself in the mirror of her cloud home. "I know you think I'm sexy. But are you going to just look? Or are you going to touch me?" She teased.

"I was just thinking. What if you didn't join the Wonderbolts?" Spike replied as he got up onto all fours and made his way over to stand next to her. "I… I don't know if I can stand the thought of you being alone with those stallions."

"You know there's mares in the Wonderbolts. Right?" She laughed before kissing the bottom of his jaw. "And if it makes you feel better. We can talk to Spitfire together. Maybe find you a mare to keep you company while I'm away."

"Please don't tease me like that." He sighed as he wrapped around her. "I… I don't want to be with any other mare but you."

"And what if I want to see you with another?"

Spike blinked at the question before pulling away and looking at her in shock. "Sorry… what?"

"I mean it." She laughed before putting a hoof on his cheek. "We both know that when I have a kid… or kids. You're going to need help. And If I'm putting my life in another's hooves. I also want to know I can trust them with you too."

"And what if they're a dragon?" He asked.

Rainbow laughed. "They can be the daughter of Discord for all I care. Just as long as they remember who the top female of the house is."

Spike laughed. "Careful hun. He might consider that a challenge."

The two shared a laugh, while in a separate dimension… Discord dunked a bowl of water in his ear causing steam to below out. "I don't know why. But for some reason I'm actually annoyed… wait… is this my chance? Of all the rotten-"

Rainbow turned and kissed Spike's neck. "How about this? You can pick a pony for me. And I'll pick a dragon for you."

"What if I picked Zephyr?" Spike teased.

"Would you really do that? You know I'd break him before he set a hoof on me." Rainbow laughed.

Spike sighed. "Fine. But I doubt it'll be easy to find a dragon who'd move to Ponyville. Or a stallion who'd want to live with a dragon."

"You underestimate Twilight." Rainbow countered as she turned back to her reflection and fixed her hair. "You do realize she sent out invites before offering you the place. Right? Besides, the kids will likely be staying at the school while our place will be for the older group."

Spike thought for a moment. "What if the kids don't want to stay at the school?"

"Then they get to learn how to keep a home clean. Oh and cook." Rainbow replied. "You're not going to cook everything."

Rarity and Fluttershy looked at a few plans they had laying on Rarity's kitchen table. "So far we have… sorry for tricking you into that model's hooves… congratulations on finding your special somepony…"

"And sorry for sabotaging your celebration." Fluttershy added.

"Yes… that. Let's hope we don't need that plan. Shall we? This is a good day for our friends." Rarity laughed.

"You don't sound happy." Fluttershy calmly pointed out.

"You're right." Rarity sighed. "Not only am I losing my number one helper. But I may have messed things up with Rainbow Dash too. And worse… my career may never recover."

Fluttershy blinked. "Oh my… but… are you sure it's going to be that bad?"

Rarity sighed and passed her a letter. "It came a little while ago. The company was so sure they would get her into the Wonderbolts."

"They're claiming that if she can't get in it's your fault." Fluttershy gasped at what she read.

"The worst part is." Rarity sniffed. "I don't want her to get in."

"But why?"

"Because of what I did. And because of what they did." Rarity explained as Fluttershy pulled her close. "I'd rather lose customers than see my friend suffer and more."

Fluttershy smiled and kissed Rarity's horn. "And that is why I love you. But you realize that she'll still find a way to get in. If for no other reason than to spite them."

Rarity sighed and smiled at Fluttershy. "You have a point. Maybe… we can see if…" Rarity gasped and smiled as an idea came to her. "Fluttershy dear. I may have an idea that is right up Rainbow's alley." She giggled before getting to work on a new set of plans.

Luna sat and glared across the table at Spoiled Rich as she slid a paper over to her. "Do not disappoint me mare." She warned. "You know what will happen if you do."


Author's Note

Quite a few things are happening now. I wonder which outcome will happen first.
And will Discord get more than a paragraph?
That's it. Discord is now grounded from using the internet.
