Dawn's new day.

Cadence’s groans of pleasure quickly turned to displeasure as she heard a knock on her door through the one way soundproofing spell.

“Just ignore it.” Shining Armor paused his licking of Cadence’s dripping clit as he sat behind his mare friends raised rump.

“Cadence are you in there?” Twilight’s muffled voice could just be made out through the bedroom door. “I need some… love advice.”

Cadence shot out of bed and cracked the door open just enough to poke her head out. This left a dissatisfied stallion back on her bed. “Hi Twilight what’s going on? I can’t let you in right now but maybe I could answer your questions?” Cadence’s voice got higher near the end of her sentence.

Shining had gotten out of bed, lifted her tail with his magic and had resumed licking her. Luckily Twilight wasn’t paying enough attention to notice since she was so focused on her own question.

“Okay. So Dawn and I had a really great time at the recent gala and we even kissed.” Twilight nervously started.

“Go on.” Cadence wasn’t just talking to Twilight and was doubly excited from both the news and with what her stallion was doing between her back legs. So excited in fact that she wrapped her tail around his horn and began stroking it.

“Well now I’m wondering what to do now that we kissed and I joined his trial herd?” She looked up at the red faced Cadenza who was smiling down at her. “Like should I ask him on a date or maybe invite him over? Granted he’s already met my parents but not as my colt friend. Also I’m still a bit nervous around Trixie. She’s so much more confident than I am and she and Dawn were already together for a while even if she doesn’t want to be lead mare I don’t know if I can quite do it either.” Twilight took a deep breath.

Shining wasn’t exactly pleased with the news his sister was dating, even if he did like Dawn, so took his aggression out with a particularly intense lick of his mare friend’s sultry behind.

“Well Twilight calm down first.” She was also talking to Shining. “At your age there isn’t much else you should do. Just getting to know each other and your herd members is enough and maybe exchange gifts for the upcoming holidays.” Cadence stomped her back hoof as mare cum dripped down it. She was grateful she had the foresight to erect wards around her room that also blocked smells. “Trixie sounds like a nice enough herd member so maybe get to know her over fall break since Dawn is gone.”

“Really?” Twilight nervously tapped her hooves together. She did find Trixie’s more flashy brand of magic interesting and when she spoke normally Trixie could have some good conversations. “But now that got my heat last year I thought we were supposed to do, more..?” Cadence held up a hoof to stop Twilight and practically sat on Shining’s horn to stop his aggressive licks. This caused his horn to inadvertently go inside her, not that she minded.

“Twilight.” She coughed after that high pitched squeak. “Twilight, when it comes to true love you have to take things a bit slower and build up to those kinds of things, for when you’re older of course.” Cadence swatted Shiny with her tail. “Keep in mind that Stallions are the ones who decide when that kind of thing happens. And anything between fellow mares outside of heat season is considered a bit more intimate so shouldn’t be taken lightly.”

Twilight sat pondering for a moment then, “Thanks Cadence. I knew you would have good advice.”

When Cadence finally closed the door she breathed a sigh of relief then shot her stallion the stink eye after her moment of reprieve. “What were you thinking Mr!? Continuing on like that.”

“That I didn’t want to stop eating my Candy.” He said with a smug smile that earned him a wing slap.

Cadence rolled her eyes and hopped back into bed before laying on her back, wings and legs spread wide. “Enough with the desert I want the main course. So, get up on this bed right now soldier.”

“Yes my princess.” He gave a bow the happily followed orders.

As Twilight walked away from Cadence’s room a blush creeped up on her muzzle. She might have been a bit dense when it came to interpersonal relationships but she wasn’t blind. It didn’t help there was a mirror just behind Cadence that gave her a partial view into the room. She didn’t know who had been in there with her but considering Cadence was the princess of love she didn’t question it.

“That didn’t happen. That didn’t happen.” After a few more times chanting with her horn unknowingly lit to aid in her attempt to repress the memory she breathed a sigh of relief. “Note to self always ask for advice from Cadence during dinner or otherwise when she’s not ‘busy’.”

A shiver went down her spine and she continued walking down the castle halls back to her room. She was staying in the castle for fall break as her parents had decided to go on their own romantic vacation now that their children were more independent.

“I wish Moon Dancer or Trixie could have come to visit today.” She plopped down in the pile of cushions next to a sleeping Spike. With nothing better to do she pulled out the next book on her reading list.

Cheerilee had a pronounced bounce in her step as she trotted down the path towards Sweet Apple Acres. Her workouts lately had been going very well, not only had she felt more confident but Mac was very appreciative of her newly toned flank.

Cheerilee giggled to herself at the memory of their recent date.

“Hi.” The sudden voice of Apple Bloom broke her from her thoughts.

“Well hi there little Bloom.” Cheerilee bent down and gave her a nuzzle. The filly was practically her little sister at this point.

“You coming for dinner?” Bloom smiled up at her and her heart melted. She couldn’t wait to have foals of her own with Mac, in a few years.

“Yep. But what are you doing out here all by yourself?” Cheerilee looked around.

“But I’m not alone. Sweetie, Dawn, come say hi to Cheery.” Apple Bloom yelled out.

Sweetie Belle ran over out of nowhere and pounced on her friends back. The tiny, snow white, unicorn filly could easily be held up by her Earth pony friend. “Hi. Im Sweetie Belle”

“I’m Cheerilee nice to meet you.” The sight of the two was adorable. She gave the newcomer a friendly nuzzle.

“Hi there Cheerilee.” I trotted up more slowly than the fillies had. “Joining us for dinner?”

“That I am. I take it you’re on foal sitting duty?” She laughed at the two fillies who were now wrestling and ignoring the conversation after Bloom had been pounced on.

“Yeah, Rarity is busy with work so thought her younger sister Sweetie would like a friend. Apparently her parents will be traveling for work a lot soon so she’ll be moving in with Rarity and joining your school.” I sat down and watched the two adorable kids playing. I was wondering when she would show up now it’s just Scoots missing.

“Well it’s nice of you to watch over them.” Cheerilee gave me a smile.

“Nice?” I laughed. “I’m the only one who could keep up with them aside from maybe Rainbow dash. These two have been running around the farm all day.” I ruffled the manes of both fillies and they stuck their tongues out at me.

“Big brother don’t mess up my bow.” Bloom climbed on my back and ruffled my mane in response. Sweetie tried to climb up but didn’t make it past my tail.

“Now girls you shouldn’t beat up on colts like that.” Cheerilee laughed. “Though couldn’t your siblings keep up?”

“Nah, they’re strong not fast. Mom Forest probably could but she has weather work.” I shook my head and stood up. I then lifted Sweetie onto my back with my magic causing her to laugh and then hug my lower back. “Also colts aren’t that helpless. Just look at my brother and Shining Armor.” I began trotting off back towards the house with the two fillies playing on my back.

“I know Dawn but not all colts are like you three, so they have to learn. Right girls?” She focused on my passengers.

“Yeah~.” They both replied in sync. “But big brothers are tougher than most.” Bloom said proudly while holding onto my neck. “Dawn is even…”

I literally zipped her lips with my magic and tilted my head back. “Bloom remember what I said.”

Her ears pinned back and she nodded so I undid the spell. Cheerilee watched the exchange with a questioning look.

“She’s not supposed to spread secrets.” I answered.

“Sorry big brother I forgot.”

“It’s okay Bloom.” I tilted my head back and gave her a nuzzle. “It won’t be a secret too much longer.” I ruffled my hidden wings as we made it to the house. Both fillies happily jumped off my back and raced inside. “Anyway Mac should be in the cow’s barn if you want to go find him.” I followed the fillies inside.

Cheerilee watched the, all go then trotted off towards the barn.

“Should I be jealous?” She found Mac in the middle of milking the herd.

“Eenope.” Mac continued milking Matilda.

Matilda giggled along with the other cows. “Oh never sweetie. While Mac is a fine stallion and does a fine job with our milking I prefer a nice horned bull.”

“Oh I know I just can’t help teasing him. How are all you ladies doing today?” Cheerilee happily began chatting with the cow herd. Cheerilee knew the herd liked Mac but since he didn’t talk much while Milking they couldn’t tease the young stallion At least not normally. With Cheerilee around they could have female conversations and from those Mac knew he wouldn’t be getting much sleep tonight.
