Thorax led Sweetie Belle to his room and said "OK Sweetie Belle, make yourself comfortable! What's mine is yours, if you need anything you can ask my girlfriend, I'll be in and out while I'm creating your sister's new outfit"

As Thorax left, Sweetie just sat down next to Thorax's girlfriend, a lithe and very attractive female changeling. Sweetie didn't consider herself straight, gay or even bisexual, she had a very fluid sexuality and was pretty much attracted to anyone who was averagely good-looking and had a nice personality to go with it. Ocellus smiled as Sweetie Belle sat down, extended a hand and said "Nice to meet you Sweetie Belle! My name is Ocellus"

Sweetie took her hand and shook it as she went "Yeah, likewise. I've gotta say, I don't think I've ever met a female changeling before, the only changelings I've met are your boyfriend and his bulky brother"

Ocellus nodded and said "Yeah, there aren't too many female changelings, there are plenty of girls to be sure but there are more boys than girls and the population of the hive isn't exactly as big as it should be. I suppose, for me at least, that's one of the benefits of being bisexual, I get to basically take my pick!"

While Ocellus giggled, Sweetie actually chuckled back as she said "It's funny you say that actually because I can basically take my pick of pretty much anyone, regardless of gender. I have a fluid sexuality, so basically if someone looks halfway decent and is generally just a nice person, that's someone I could date or just... y'know... fuck"

Ocellus raised her eyebrow and went "Really? That must be interesting but also difficult, then again the only ponies I've ever caught glimpses of are Pharynx's gaggle of bimbos... oh, er, no offense to your sister"

Sweetie just went "Eh, none taken. You can say what you like about my sister, she and I aren't exactly great siblings to each other, she's always too busy focusing on herself to pay any attention to me and whenever she does I act bratty, rude and arrogant. Sister dynamic isn't exactly our specialty, seems like your boyfriend has a decent relationship with his brother though"

Ocellus shrugged and said "Meh, I guess so. They seem to get on alright but I think that's mostly just because they stay out of each other's business, Thorax goes his way and Pharynx goes his"

The conversation lulled slightly, which gave Ocellus the chance to check out Sweetie Belle. Ocellus had never truly understood Pharynx's penchant for pony chicks, though when it came to Sweetie Belle she could see the appeal, Sweetie was quite similar in proportion to Ocellus herself, lithe yet curvy and without some of the ridiculous body proportions that Pharynx's brides had like Bon Bon's massive tits or Applejack's enormous ass. Sweetie cleared her throat to break the awkward silence and said "So... I notice you and Thorax don't do the whole harem thing, what's up with that?"

Ocellus forced herself to stop ogling her guest and said "Well, Thorax and I don't really dig the whole "harem" thing in changeling culture, so we decided to do the pony thing of just being boyfriend and girlfriend. I do have to say it has made our lives slightly more difficult though, Chrysalis pretty much ignores and, to some extent, tolerates our relationship choice mainly because she has to and can't really do anything about it. We have a very loving and fulfilling relationship but because of the law we haven't really had the chance to experience each others bodies more intimately, no sex before marriage and because marriage means I'd go from a girlfriend to a harem girl, we've never really entertained the idea"

Sweetie frowned and said "That doesn't seem fair, so you mean you and Thorax are prohibited from having sex just because you won't go through with a traditional changeling marriage?"

Ocellus nodded and went "Yep, pretty much. It hardly matters though anyway, the point of a harem is to have more than one bride, so we'd have to include at least one other girl that we both like into the relationship for it to work"

Sweetie Belle's ears perked, that little fact that Ocellus had just dropped was... interesting. Sweetie thought through what she was about to say, there weren't really any drawbacks to her idea, in fact it would be beneficial for pretty much everyone involved. Biting the bullet, Sweetie lidded her eyes seductively, put on a sultry tone of voice and shuffled a little closer to Ocellus and she went "Is that so? Well... have you come across anyone that you think might fit the bill?"

Ocellus blushed a little at Sweetie's not-so-subtle suggestion, then just closed her eyes as she launched herself forward and threw her arms around Sweetie Belle, bringing her into a deep kiss. After about two seconds of wide eyes and confusion, Sweetie Belle mirrored Ocellus' actions and reciprocated the kiss, the two girls making out passionately. The kiss went one for at least two minutes before they separated, a single string of spittle keeping the lips connected as they both breathed heavily. When they both collected themselves, Ocellus said "I know that it's a yes from me... I'd definitely be willing to marry my boyfriend and be his harem girl if it also means I get to fool around with you, especially since I've never had the chance to explore my sexual desires with a woman... though I think we should ask the groom how he'd feel about marrying the both of us!"

Sweetie giggled and agreed "Yeah, when he's not busy we'll approach him about it and just... well, see what he says I guess? Whatever way it goes, it was cool meeting you!" Ocellus was about to reply when Thorax, as if on cue, walked in. As Thorax approached his work station, he noticed Ocellus and Sweetie Belle sat together with big blushes on their face, he turned to them and asked "Is everything alright?"

They both nodded before Ocellus said "Baby, when you're not busy... can Sweetie Belle and I talk to you?"

Sweetie Belle followed up by saying "We... we wanna ask you something..."

Thorax, mildly concerned, went "OK... sure..." shortly before re-shifting his focus back on Rarity's sensational concubine costume. After Thorax had dressed Rarity and sent her to go and meet Pharynx, he returned to his room and said "So girls... what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"

Ocellus bit her lip sheepishly and said "Well... me and Sweetie Belle were just thinking... um... how opposed to the "harem" lifestyle are you?"

Thorax raised an eyebrow and went "Um... I mean, the whole reason we are just boyfriend and girlfriend is because we weren't really big fans of the harem thing... what's going on? What are you saying here?"

Sweetie Belle interjected to cut the tension and went "Thorax, we want you to marry us. Me and Ocellus had a talk and we figured that if a harem only requires a minimum of two girls, then we'll be those girls for you! Me and Ocellus do quite like each other in... in a lustful way... besides, it means that you and Ocellus will be somewhat accepted by changeling society and Rarity won't have to waste precious time finding a new home for me because the hive will be my new home! What do you think?"

Thorax eyes widened a little, he'd never actually considered the possibility that one day there would be someone who was compatible enough to be a third participant in the relationship, certainly not a pony! He thought through all the information he had available and said "Before I even consider this, I want to know a couple of things. First of all, I want to make sure that Sweetie Belle actually does like me, I don't doubt that it's possible for someone to become enamored that quickly because I've seen it happen with my brother. Second of all, you mentioned acceptance from all changelings, including the queen I would hope, plus the fact that Rarity won't have to find a new home. My question in that regard is that I hope you two are not just agreeing to marry me for the sake of ease, can you answer those things for me?"

Sweetie Belle, respecting Thorax's concerns, took a moment to look him up and down and also consider his personality type, before nodding and going "Yeah, I'd be down to fuck you. You seem like a nice guy and you're also pretty cute!"

Ocellus then said "I won't lie to you and say that marrying you won't make things easier for some people, it will, though I think that if we intend to be together and are not objecting the idea of Sweetie Belle being with us... then we might as well make it official! I know the law means that as soon as the marriage is done and dusted that we'll have to pleasure you whenever you feel like it but that's the thing... you don't have to emulate the way your brother does things. The sex will happen eventually but it's up to you and, to a lesser extent, me and Sweetie Belle. We'll take things at whatever pace you like, even if it's long and slow"

Thorax thought this through, he was satisfied that his girlfriend and Sweetie Belle were serious about this and to have two cute girls always ready to "relieve his stress" when the time was right was a tempting offer... with a smirk he said "Well Ocellus, I think a costume that matches the color of your eyes would work quite well! Sweetie Belle, in my personal opinion, I think the right shade of orange would look quite fetching!" Sweetie Belle and Ocellus smiled as they disrobed and allowed him to take their measurements, immediately beginning work on their harem wear. Chrysalis was pleasantly pleased when they all went to the throne room for the officiation of their union and Thorax, while finding the two of them quite desirable, did decide that they would have sex when he felt like the time was right.

• present time -

Rarity knocked on Pharynx's door and was pulled into the room by some unknown force, the door slamming closed behind her. What she saw wasn't at all what she was expecting, the hive looked like it would be the perfect place to house sexual torture chambers, though all this room needed was some steam rooms, massage tables and maybe a little champagne and you could call it a luxury spa! The only thing that didn't really scream the word "spa" was all the scantily clad women sat around a throne where a muscular and strongly erect Pharynx was sat waiting for her... well, technically there were certain "pleasure" spas in existence that offered the famous happy ending service, though Rarity had never really had the guts to go to such an establishment.

Pharynx grinned and said "Rarity! It's a pleasure to see you! Applejack, will you do the honors and welcome her into the group? Oh and by the way girls, I do realize that it is quite troublesome to lift both your own veil and the veil of any new bride for the welcoming ceremony, so from now on you have permission to remove your veil for it. If you come across an activity where the only veil you have to lift is your own, you must keep it on. Anyway, Applejack, would you please?"

Applejack removed her veil and strutted over to Rarity, who was wondering why the veil even came into play at all for something as simple as "welcome". She soon got her answer when Applejack lifted her veil and kissed her, though rather than recoil from her friend's touch, Rarity didn't hesitate to kiss back and simply enjoy a kiss from her fellow bride. The kiss ended when Applejack pulled back and said "Welcome to the group Rarity" before she made her way back to her original spot and placed the veil back on her face.

Pharynx went "Excellent! Now Rarity... you can see the situation I'm currently in, how about you be generous and help me out?"

Rarity smirked and said "Darling... you sit back and relax and I'll work your dick with my pussy, it will be both of our pleasure for me to ride you with as much passion as I'm able to give to you, my dearest husband..." as she slowly moved towards her changeling lover, swaying her hips with every step and being sure to try and draw attention to her impressive bust. Pharynx just stayed still as Rarity clambered onto his lap and began angling her twitching fuck hole up with the head of his bitch breaker, after Pharynx was properly poised to enter her, she began sinking herself down on inch after agonizingly and wonderfully thick inch of his erection until she was finally seated on his lap with his member fully entombed in her cunt.

Everyone had expected that she would bounce up and down to milk his length with her baby chamber, though she did something completely different... by not bouncing at all. Instead, Rarity simply rolled her hips in circles, not a single solitary centimeter of Pharynx ever want any deeper nor exit her vagina, Rarity's body just clamped down on his fuck stick and her soft and gentle grinding did the rest. Pharynx was clearly enjoying this new technique that Rarity was employing, pretty much every other girl was either pinned down and destroyed or would ride him like they were on a mechanical bull, he was enjoying it enough in fact that almost every bride gathered around to watch more closely what Rarity was actually doing, taking note of the important details and filing them away for future fuck sessions with their beloved husband so that he could actually enjoy some relaxing sex every once in a while.

Both Pharynx and Rarity were breathing heavily, Rarity had to keep up a constant and consistent pace and movement for this to work the way it did and the way Pharynx was feeling such ecstatic sexual pleasure without moving coupled with him resisting the urge to just wrap his arms around Rarity's torso and pound her, provided an experience that made sweat roll down his temple. As the minutes went by, the sex itself didn't change, the only thing that did change was Rarity and Pharynx, both of them reaching new levels of elation and exhaustion while most of the other brides had gone from studying what she was doing to getting off on it as they rubbed away at their own folds but making sure not to push themselves over the edge into climax. Seconds passed before Rarity made an odd mumbling sound that sounded like a mixture between a whimper of pain and a held back moan as the walls of her pussy clenched and bathed Pharynx's disco stick in her warm orgasmic juices while she creamed in the midst of her humping.

Pharynx couldn't help but grunt as he swiftly followed suit and painted the insides of Rarity's caverns white with his spunk, Rarity continued to ride throughout his orgasm so he could be lulled into a pleasant afterglow. Only when Pharynx's breathing went back to normal and Rarity could feel him going slightly soft inside her, did she dismount and allow his cock to unceremoniously flop out of her body, shining in the light. Pharynx went "Phew... Rarity, that was something! I feel that the only suitable repayment is to allow you to decide what you want next, no matter how kinky or tame, ask and you shall receive my dear"

Rarity, without so much as a second thought, asked "Could you jerk off and cum all over my face please?"

Pharynx chuckled at how brazen and unwavering Rarity was and said "Not afraid to get a messy facial are we?"

Rarity said "Certainly not! Cum is actually very good for the complexion, so if you could fire off a few ropes and give me a heavy helping of the stuff that I can rub into my skin, that would be simply divine!"

Pharynx nodded and went "Alright, though of course I'll expect you to bathe after giving you your face mask of jizz"

Rarity got on her knees in preparation while saying "Naturally darling"

Seeing no reason to delay it, Pharynx shrugged and latched onto his semi-erect dong, furiously fapping his way to another powerful climax that he could send launching at the face of his newest bride. Minutes went by of nothing but the sound of Pharynx jacking off and the occasional gasp as each of the brides, minus Rarity, kept touching themselves and each other. Eventually, Pharynx's nuts were drained once again and he groaned as he emptied them all over Rarity's face, coating her with his load. Rarity hummed in appreciation as she started rubbing the sticky stuff into her her skin, licking her fingers clean as she let the off-white baby batter soak in. After five minutes of allowing Pharynx's man milk to simply sit on her features she got up and went to clean it off to ensure that she would feel rejuvenated and refreshed, being Pharynx's wife really was like being at the spa!

The second that the four of them exited the boutique, the guards were waiting and upon seeing Rarity and Sweetie Belle leaving with them, the head guard said "Halt! Explain why the element of generosity and her younger sibling appear to be heading to the train station alongside you immediately!"

Rarity went "Now now, calm down big guy. As I'm sure you're aware, a number of ponies from this town have married Pharynx and I am voluntarily doing the same, my sister is coming with me as a guest, does that satisfy your curiosity?"

The guard nodded and said "Very well, just be aware that I am obligated to notify Princess Twilight about this recent development after we have escorted you the the train station, OK?" Rarity nodded and they were all taken to the train station and, at last, on their way to the hive. The guards all headed to the castle, they had been instructed before the arrival of Thorax and Pharynx that they were to immediately relay any and all information that they deemed noteworthy to Princess Twilight.

As they entered the throne, Twilight instantly ceased her conversation with Spike and said "Ah, guards, thank you for coming. I'm assuming the changelings have now left the kingdom, anything to report?"

The head guard said "The changelings went straight to the boutique and stayed there until taking their leave... though the one known as "Pharynx" has taken yet another bride..."

Twilight froze, then trembled as she asked "You mean... Rarity?"

The guard nodded and confirmed "Yes your majesty. Rarity has chosen to go the changeling kingdom to marry the changeling and remain inside the hive"

Twilight, looking like she had just been given some of the most traumatic and devastating news of her life said "Thank you guards... you may take your leave... now!" The guards could see that the princess was agitated and left the room, deciding to steer clear.

Spike, never one to back down from a Twilight freak-out, simply went "Twilight... what's wrong? What's the problem?"

Twilight turned to Spike and shouted "The problem?!?! Spike, this is a CATASTROPHE!!! Don't you see what the changelings are doing?!?! First Applejack and now Rarity!!! The changelings are stealing away the most powerful ponies in Equestria so that we can't use the elements of harmony against them!!! Take a letter!!!"

Spike frantically pulled out a quill and parchment, ready to write down every word that Twilight said, Twilight took in a deep breath and said "Dear Queen Chrysalis..."

• later -

Pharynx and all of his brides were relaxing in his room, Rarity had only just come back from cleaning herself up when Thorax burst into the room and cried "Pharynx! Quickly! Chrysalis has demanded that you start gathering up every changeling soldier both current and former!"

Pharynx, bewildered beyond all belief, gave Thorax a puzzled and quizzical look as he said "What?! Why?!"

Thorax just went pale as he had to repeat what Chrysalis had told him "It's the kingdom of Ponyville... they've just declared war on the changelings......"

There was a pause before Phayrnx simply said "FUCK!"

Ponyville and the hive were now tasked to amass an army for the oncoming battle, or at least they would have done had Pharynx's brides not had the most brilliant idea. Luna, Rarity, Zecora, Applejack and Cadance all asked permission to contact a few select people from outside the hive to ensure that the war wouldn't even have to happen at all. Luna had spoken to Celestia and asked for a favor, otherwise she'd spill the beans about her slight crush on Chrysalis, Rarity had spoken to Pistachio, Zecora had spoken to King Zulu, Applejack spoke to her family and Cadance spoke to Shining Armor. Everything was in place.

Twilight was sat in the throne room when Spike suddenly burped out three scrolls, Twilight said "Hmm? I wonder what these are? News must spread quickly in Equestria, it must be my fellow monarchs coming to fight by our side!" Twilight unwrapped the first scroll, though the message within was not at all what she had expected, it read "Princess Twilight Sparkle, as princess of the sun, I hereby decree that, should you follow through with your planned attack on the changeling kingdom, the kingdom of Canterlot will declare war on the kingdom of Ponyville. Please reconsider your decision"

Celestia was threatening war unless Twilight took back her declaration of war on the changelings?!?! Twilight tossed the scroll aside and opened the next one and was met with a similar message that said "Princess Twilight Sparkle, as prince of the Crystal Empire, I hereby decree that, should you follow through with your planned attack on the changeling kingdom, the kingdom of the Crystal Empire will declare war on the kingdom of Ponyville. Please reconsider your decision"

Were these forgeries?!?! No, they had the royal seal, followed the royal protocol of a war threat and had the respective monarchs signature handwriting, not even the most talented forgers in the world could go into that much detail. Twilight read the next one, horror etched onto every feature the more and more she read, every word sending a chill through her body, King Zulu had written "Princess Twilight Sparkle, as king of Afriquestria, I hereby decree that, should you follow through with your planned attack on the changeling kingdom, the kingdom of Afriquestria will declare war on the kingdom of Ponyville. Please reconsider your decision"

It was four kingdom against one! How could it get any worse?! Twilight got that answer when a guard burst into the throne room and proclaimed "Your majesty! The populace is revolting and demanding to see you! Sweet Apple Acres and Carousel Boutique have closed and cut ties with the town, refusing to reopen or provide any food or clothing products!"

Twilight, being rather irrational just screamed "Get out!!!" The guard ran while she turned to Spike and said "Spike, we need allies! Send messages to Saddle Arabia, Trottingham, Prance and Maretonia! They'll join us in the fight against the changelings and all the other kingdoms! Five versus four baby!!!"

Spike reluctantly sent letters to each kingdom with a request that they join Twilight in a war against the changelings. The reply was surprisingly quick and as another four letters burst from Spike's mouth, Twilight soon found that luck was not on her side. Every single letter just said "Princess Twilight Sparkle, your declaration of war on the changelings is unprecedented, unprovoked, unfounded and unethical. We will not risk the lives of our citizens for a needless war and your assumption that we would ally ourselves with a monarch who declares war based on suspicion and hatred is offensive and morally incorrect. We implore you to rethink your stance on this situation, for if you decide to go ahead, not only will we not interfere to change the odds in your favor, we will instead assist the changelings and even declare war on your kingdom if necessary to defend a people who have not done anything wrong or anything that might suggest they have any malevolent intent. It's your choice"

It was a lost cause, it seemed Twilight was the only one who couldn't trust the changelings. With a sigh of resignation, Twilight just went "Spike... send a letter to Queen Chrysalis, I retract my declaration of war... the battle hadn't even begun and I lost!"

Spike did as Twilight instructed and peace was restored.

The End
