Winter Wrap up in Canterlot had been boring, it just had no flare. “I can’t believe I couldn’t even join in on wrapping up winter here in Canterlot.” I said aloud as I waited in Celestia’s study.

“Why would you want to when the weather team and unicorn volunteers have it taken care of?” Twilight asked from behind her book. She was also waiting with me for our first lesson of the year at the other end of our round table. School was starting up again in a few days now that it was a new year. Something which we were both excited for.

“Just! Because.” I slumped onto the table feeling irritable. “It looked fun to clean up all that snow and help bring spring.”

Twilight lowered her book, rolled her eyes from over top of it, then returned to reading All in one smooth motion.

“So where’s our kid?” I decided to change the topic with a joke.

“What’s that about a baby goat?” She tilted her head in confusion.

“Spike. Where’s Spike?” I huffed.

“You know Spike is a dragon right?” She deadpanned. I honestly couldn’t tell if she was trying to joke back or not. “Not a goat.”

“Grr. Yes Twilight I know he is a dragon so where is he?” I glared at her which she easily ignored behind her book. Why do I suddenly feel so frustrated with her.

“At home. He has been a fire hazard since Hearths Warming so my parents are watching him after we fireproofed the house with spells.” She giggled. “Glad that one was easy to learn.”

“I bet. I should probably learn it.” I scratched at my annoying horn with a hoof. Stupid thing being all itchy today.

“I can teach you if you want.” She flipped a page then scratched at her own horn. Wait didn’t I learn something about itchy horns recently. My eyes went a bit wide. Oh right, puberty. Yay for doing this again.

“Good afternoon you two, sorry I’m late but I just couldn’t escape that last meeting.” Celestia gave me a warm nuzzle then gave Twilight one, after she set down her book. Celestia then subtly scented the air after sitting down.

“Twilight, are you feeling alright?” Celestia asked with a bit of hesitation.

“Fine princess, why?” Twilight had scooted slightly closer towards my end of the table after the nuzzle. What’s she up to. You better run Dawn.

“Dawn, did you two nuzzle today?” She looked my way a bit concerned.

“No~. Twilight was so engrossed in her book so I just sat right down over here.” I replied as Twilight again inched closer.

“I see. Dawn, I need you to leave the room so I can speak with Twilight in private.” I could tell she was struggling to stay calm so I shrugged and stood up.

“Twilight, no!” Celestia yelled as I found myself pinned back onto my cushion with Twilight nuzzling and sniffing at my chest while giggling as if high, like a cat on catnip. Unsure of what to do I remained where I was without reciprocating.

“Um princess should I stop her?” I just laid there and let Twilight nuzzle me, not really wanting her to stop. This actually feels really nice. I smiled and struggled to keep my eyes open.

Instead of answering right away, Celestia grabbed Twilight in her magic and pulled her off me before I could wrap my hooves around her. Twilight was struggling and whining the whole time and only once she was securely in Celestia’s grasp did she accept her fate.

“I’m glad that wasn’t worse.” Celestia sighed as she held Twilight between her Forelegs.

“Worse? It wasn’t all bad.” I blushed while I got back onto my hooves. Twilight was looking my direction longingly with puppy dog eyes and ears pinned back. Maybe I should go over to her?

Celestia sighed. “Yes, well, I hadn’t expected Twilight’s first cycle to arrive so early or so strong, yet given her powers I probably should have anticipated this. At least she was content with just nuzzling.”

I gulped and quickly sobered up after realizing what she meant. Twilight was in heat and it was strong. “Why is she acting up only now though? We’ve been sitting here together for an hour.”

“Probably because she only smelled your scent after I nuzzled you both. The castle has pheromone dampening charms for this exact reason. The staff know better than to nuzzle casually during estrous season, which is still a few months away.” Celestia sighed. “And it doesn’t help that you’re giving off the matching pheromones. Even I was taken aback when I noticed. Bad timing that you’re both like this ahead of the season and about two years.”

I was taken aback by all this information. “Okay so now what?” Twilight had stopped struggling and instead nuzzled Celestia’s chest floof. She didn’t seem bothered by it as she didn’t stop Twiight.

“Now, lessons are canceled and you’re going back to your room. Luckily you haven’t succumbed to your hormones so I’ll just stay with Twilight until she calms down, wouldn’t want her teleporting back to you. I’ll also have a stallion bring you some supplies that should help.”

“And what about the other colts and stallions, are they safe from her?” I only half joked.

“Oh they’re fine. It’s only your chastity you should be concerned about from Twilight.” She was way too serious for comfort.

After returning to my room I took a long shower with some pheromone blocking shampoo courtesy of the princess. Dang pony noses being so strong.

I dried myself off and pulled out a book to get started on the lessons I was and would be missing. Apparently Twilight and I couldn’t start school again until the heat wore off. Its strange to think that Im apparently in heat. Sure I’ve felt a bit frisky but no worse than before.

I thought a bit more on that. I was biologically a colt so had never had any sexual urges yet as a pony. As a pony. Oh, now this all makes more sense, pony puberty isn’t nearly as troublesome as craving sex almost all year, pheromones or not, back when I was a human teenager. Aside from this damn itchy horn it’s not nearly as bad.

I rubbed it against my bedpost which felt heavenly. The only problem now was my wings and hooves were starting to get in on the action. Fucking alicorn puberty.

Once the itching subsided I got myself back under control and tried to refocus back on my homework.

“Twilight Sparkle, you need to stay here.” Celestia chastized. She had taken the filly back to her own room in the castle and was watching her there. This is why we never had more than one foal.That’s not why and you know it. celestia sighed.

“But why can’t I cuddle Dawn, he’s so warm and nice.” Twilight pouted, then again tried to teleport out of the room on instinct. She was stopped by the fresh Ward Celestia had put up. It’s somewhat scary she’s able to do that on instinct when she’s never successfully teleported before.Indeed.

“Twilight that’s the hormones talking and I can’t trust you to stop at cuddling. You need to calm down, this tea will help.” Celestia had acquired a special blend just for such occasions.

“Wow she’s got it bad.” Cadence had detected the strong emotions of puppy love and lust emanating throughout the castle and had just arrived moments ago after tracking the source.

“Cadence, excellent. Can you please watch Twilight I need to bring Dawn his own tea to help with the hormones.” Celestia pleaded to the younger princess.

“Woah, both of them at the same time, did anything happen?” Cadence was looking for some gossip.

“Cadence! Not the time.” Celestia bumped her niece. “But luckily no. Just some intimate nuzzling.”

“Wow, you’re right that I should take this seriously so I’ll watch over her. First heat is always the worst.” Cadence glanced at Twilight with a pang of guilt to ensure she was drinking her tea before they both left the room.

“Did we really have to lock her in her room?” Morning Dew asked her wife.

“Darling that’s the worst case of first heat I have ever seen and she’s early.” Pear replied as the three of them stood in the hallway.

“Think that cooler will survive?” Forest Breeze laughed while looking at her daughter’s door. They could all awkwardly hear moaning from behind it until Dew used a silencing spell.

“Considering her earth pony strength, doubtful. I went through a couple my first season.” Pear blushed. They all knew what their daughter was going through and it wasn’t something you could just stop, only provide a safe environment to let it pass and reassurance that it was perfectly natural.

“At least Dawn isn’t around.” Dew and her two wives shuddered at the implications.

Rarity tried to focus on her work but couldn’t stop rubbing her hind legs together. It wasn’t her first season but she was strangely early this year. “Oh, blast it all.”

She set down her project and made her way upstairs to her bedroom. It was going to be a long week.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were cuddled up in Fluttershy’s, now soaked, bed. The tree home’s branches swaying slightly in the breeze.

The two had been hanging out and doing some flying lessons when it turned into preening in the bedroom and finally ending with a hormone driven afternoon of newly discovered pleasure.

The two already decided it was just a matter of friends helping each other out but they were definitely closer as friends now.

Pinkie was perfectly fine as she cooked and baked up a storm in the kitchen of Sugar Cube corner, even if she was flicking her tail a bit more often than normal. It was her second season so she had no issues, except her mane not being quite as poofy.

Nope. Not one issue.

She pulled a grilled cheese sandwich off the stove and took a massive bite. Not. A. One.

I heard the knock on my door first. “Dawn, may I come in?”

“Sure.” It was just about dinner time now and I still hadn’t gotten much schoolwork done.

Celestia stepped into the room carrying a try with tea and dinner in her magic. “How are you feeling?”

“Fine, now.” I sheepish replied. I had released myself a while ago for the first time as a pony in the bathroom. Dang did magic make that pleasurable. “Just having trouble concentrating.”

She set the tray down on my room’s sitting table. “Understandable.”

“How’s Twilight.” I felt an unintended blush creep onto my cheeks. Stupid hormones.

“She will be fine, I do hope you’ll forgive her. Cadence is making sure she stays in her room and we provided her with some calming herbs that will help. I brought some for you as well.” She motioned towards the tea which I gratefully took.

“Why would I need to do that? She didn’t do anything wrong really.” The effect was almost instant as I felt my frustration dissipate. “Thanks Celestia.” I was much calmer now and feeling my full age instead of just my pony age.

“I’m glad you see it that way, not all colts do when something like that happens and you are quite welcome for the tea Dawn. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to help younger generations with this.” She smiled.

“Heh, I bet. Is it still that bad for you?” I hadn’t really thought about the question as I took another sip.

“Dawn that’s not exactly…” she coughed into her hoof.

“A question I should ask?” I finished the sentence after realizing a bit late the implications of such a question.

“No.” We both awkwardly continued our meal in silence until Celestia had to get back to her duties.

Before getting into bed for some reading I lit my horn and shielded my room. Better safe than sorry. Way to early to be with another pony. Tell me about it.

Pinkie took another bite of her freshly made grilled cheese sandwich, it was her favorite heat season snack food after all.

Author's Note

Yes, mares with stronger magic tend to have stronger first heat cycles and with Twilight’s potential for becoming an alicorn it was made all the worse after being triggered. The Rainboom also threw off all the elements cycles to match her first one.

Stallion’s do also get in heat/rut but in an opposite fashion, they tend to remain very rational, unless there’s a mare around and they are overwhelmed by pheromones.

A pony ‘cooler’ is basically just a small dildo with magical cooling properties to help mares with stronger urges during heat season that don’t want to have sex or can’t if they are young/don’t have a partner. It’s designed to be small and disposable considering it’s not built with pleasure in mind but mitigation of urges.

Yes there are full sized dildos but those are for pure pleasure purposes and typically used with a friend/partner when a stallion isn’t available.
