Rainbow Dash was busy doing her usual sky patrol, looking for anything out of the ordinary. So far, everything looked and sounded normal. Ocellus was helping Pinkie Pie with some cookies, Lyra and Bon Bon were making out right behind Town Hall, Rarity walked out of the spa after getting a happy ending…

Though she heard something else that gave her enough reason for concern, a deep, agitated sigh coming from somewhere by the lake, so she set course to investigate.

As she got closer, she got a clearer view of who was sounding so down.

“Sup Thorax, that was a pretty heavy sigh there.”

Thorax’s head perked up. “O-Oh! Rainbow Dash! I, uh, didn’t know you were around! You heard all that?”

“Eh, sorry,” Dash nonchalantly shrugged. “Kinda part of the job. You seemed pretty down, though. Something up?”

“It’s nothing big, really,” Thorax said while rubbing his forehoof. “Just heard that Spike and Ember took themselves and Smolder out of the game, so…”

“Oh right, Twilight told me about that,” Rainbow nodded. “Had a lot of plans with them, huh?”

Thorax’s antlers nearly hit the dirt as he lowered his head. “I was really looking forward to doing something with the three of us…” he grumbled. “It was gonna be so fun, I was gonna turn into a dragon too, and…ugh…”

Rainbow Dash sat down next to him, patting the changeling on the back. “Yeah, the last few days are always rough. Everyone’s a lot more pent up.”

“Heck, one of them going out I could’ve handled, but both of them? Again? With each other?”

“That’s the risk you take when you play.” Dash shrugged.

“Okay, but them taking each other out two years in a row?”

“Yeeaaah, that does seem like a joke being played on you. Probably just bad luck, but still.”

Thorax shot Dash a tired, almost agitated look.

“Sorry, I wish I could sympathize more, but I don’t exactly have the best track record of actually winning at this thing. Not like you.” Dash stopped hovering to sit down next to him. “My ‘ruined orgy plan’ experience is because I’m the one who came early and ruined someone else’s plans instead. At least you get to have other options when you actually make it.”

“I guess…”

“Hell, my worries have been more of who’s still in rather than who’s out,” Dash cringed.

Thorax turned his head towards the pegasus. That was a rather new concept for him. “What do you mean?”

Rainbow Dash clenched her teeth and sucked in some air as she rolled her head backward. “Well, there’ve been some participants that I haven’t been excited to be a part of the orgy with, to put it nicely.”

Thorax kinda understood, but still needed a little help getting all the way there. “Like who?”

“Like a stallion who’s convinced I’ve been in love with him ever since we were kids,” Rainbow Dash shuddered. “Or my mom.”

“Ah, yeah that makes sense,” Thorax nodded. “But what’s so bad about your mom being a part of the orgy?”

“Imagine if Chrysalis was watching you at the orgy, commenting and criticizing you on every single thing you did.”

All it took was a single mental image to make Thorax shudder. “Oooh, that’s bad.”

“Now imagine her praising you on everything you did instead.”

“Aaaand that’s even worse.”

“Yyyyeah.” Rainbow rubbed her temples with her hooves. “I love her and all but if I hear her cheering about how I’m ‘the best lay in Equestria’ I am going to die.”

“Well, why don’t you just ask her to not do that?” Thorax asked, stating the obvious solution.

“Because I am just as terrified of having that conversation and it’s way easier to just hope she takes herself out like last year.”

Thorax silently raised an eyebrow.

Each second that passed with Thorax staring at her filled Rainbow Dash up with guilt until she threw her hooves up. “Fine! I’ll talk to her at the end of the month. Happy?”

With a sly smirk, Thorax nodded. “A little, though it doesn’t solve my issue.”

“I don’t see why you’re so down about it,” Dash said. “Sure you won’t get to spend intimate time with Ember and Spike at the orgy, but you’re not planning on dropping out because of that, right?”

“I guess not…”

“Plus, you’re a changeling! You’re like the actual best orgy partner!” Dash pointed out. “You can make pretty much any fantasy come true!”

Thorax sheepishly chuckled. “Ehehe, right…”

“You’re really sweet and approachable, too. It makes it a lot easier for everyone to talk to you about all the weird things they want.”

Thorax gave Rainbow a light shove. “Oh quit it, you’re gonna make me blush!”

“I know it’s not gonna be the same, but surely you can find your own fun and meet your own needs some other way, right?”

“...Yeah, I guess you’re right.” Thorax smiled warmly. “Thanks for the pep talk, Rainbow Dash.”

“No prob!” Dash quickly shifted her eyes from side to side. “And uh, since we’re on the topic, if we both make it the final week, do you think that maybe…”

Rainbow Dash started whispering her idea into Thorax’s ear.

“...Really?”

“Who else am I supposed to ask, Chrysalis?” Dash said defensively.

“Gallus is still in, isn’t he?” Thorax pointed out.

“Yeah but, I dunno, it’s not like he’s got a thing for hooves.”

“Alright, so Feather Bangs ‘n’ Braeburn are out, surprisingly didn’t take Strongheart with ‘em. I can see Harshwhinny bein’ hard to break, but not impossible. Though maybe I oughta go for Sandbar or Kerfuffle as an easy target…” Babs thought out loud, looking between different pinned sheets of notes and photographs on the clubhouse wall.

“...Would help a lot more if I wasn’t doin this by myself,” she grumbled, looking around at the otherwise empty room.

Not that she expected her other two partners in crime to be there actively trying to plan more sabotages for the entire month, far from it. You’d have to be insane to constantly think about No Clop November all the time. Though it still felt lonely planning by herself.

Discord probably got chewed out by Fluttershy early on and wouldn’t be able to help as often, which was an understandable sacrifice, but Cozy Glow had been showing up less frequently. Sometimes it was to carry out a plan, but as the month went on, it was mostly just Babs making visits to the clubhouse to plan.

“Eh, I should probably just take a break for today,” Babs sighed, leaving all the papers on the floor as she walked towards the door.

As Babs walked down the steps, the cool autumn winds blew against her mane, causing her body to shiver. She sat down and relaxed her body against the trunk of the tree, giving her mind a chance to unwind.

Casting her current gripes aside, she was really happy with what she and her friends accomplished this month. Taking out Twilight, Tree Hugger, and Tempest definitely wasn’t easy. But her obvious favorite was Yona. Being able to take down a big strong yak so gently was immensely satisfying. Especially being able to double team her with Cozy.

Yona must have been in heaven, constantly peppered with kisses and gently stroked, to be touched and loved so tenderly, to have Cozy rub her. It probably felt something like…

Before she knew it, Babs was slowly touching herself, the tip of her hoof rubbing against her clit.

Babs let out a frustrated “Fuck” under her breath, but only leaned her head back as she moved her hoof in little circles.

“Nnngh…Cozy…” she said between heavy pants. Her free hoof pounded the ground in frustration.

Her other hoof dipped in a little deeper, rubbing her inner folds. “Fuck I wish you were here so bad…” She shut her eyes, letting her imagination take control. First from Cozy guiding her hoof, to having it be Cozy’s hoof herself.

“I want you…I want you! Gah I want you so bad!”

Babs’s hoof moved faster, her mind filling up with feelings of lust and longing. “I want you here, I want you with me…I…I!”

Her hoof continuously rubbed against her clit, crying out as the pleasure completely overtook her. “Aaaaaah I LOVE YOU COZY!”

Babs gasped for breath, lying in the afterglow before she opened her eyes and came to her senses.

“Uuugh, the fuck am I doing?” she regretfully mumbled, putting her wet hoof to her forehead.

“Not waiting for me, apparently.”

“Ohhhh shit!” Babs scrambled back to her hooves, trying to clean herself up as Cozy Glow approached. “Uh, hey! You didn’t hear any of that did ya?” She asked with fading hope in her eyes.

“Not all of it,” Cozy smirked. “Even if I didn’t, it’s not like I needed to.”

“Ah…so, you…know?”

”You literally kissed me like two weeks ago.” Cozy ruffled up Babs’s mane over her eyes. “You aren’t exactly good at hiding it, ya dummy.”

Babs pushed her bangs away from her face as she laughed nervously. “Ehehehe…so, uh…what now?”

“Well, you sabotaged yourself there, so there goes any orgy plans with us.”

“Right…yeah…”

Cozy pulled Babs closer, enough so that they were muzzle to muzzle. “But we can still make other plans, right? I’ve got all day free. Whaddya say we try something new? Just the two of us?”

Author's Note

I know that for three years in a row I've made the character who causes the first elimination get eliminated near the end of the month. But in my defense, this is what the votes call for.
