With confused expressions, the unicorn and Earth pony fillies turned to Scootaloo. Both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were mystified by the visual they had seen. Wasting no time, both vivacious fillies started a barrage of rapid-fire questions.

“What ya’ll kissin’ fer?”

“Are you trying to get your cutie mark in kissing, Scootaloo?”

“Did Ah see yer tongue goin’ ta Rainbow’s mouth?”

“Does it feel good?”

Knowing their secret was revealed, Rainbow and Scootaloo shared a look. Scootaloo stepped towards her two best friends and clarified the situation. The bubbly filly explained that her and Rainbow Dash were in a relationship and had been in one for some time.

Now it was Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom who exchanged looks. They gazed at each other momentarily before concurrently turning their attention back to the orange filly and cerulean mare. Silence lingered for several uncomfortable and awkward moments. The air inside the clubhouse was tense.

“So, Rainbow Dash and you are dating? You’ve been seeing each other for over a month, and have kept it hidden. The interactions between you both are more than friends.”

“Yes.” Scootaloo confirmed. “There’s a deeper connection between us that transcends platonicness.”

Apple Bloom interjected at this point. She lamented how odd it was for a filly and mare to be romantically involved. She criticized the age gap and wondered why Rainbow wouldn’t want to date somepony closer to her years.

Rainbow shuffled her hooves nervously. She never expected to be caught doing frivolous debauchery with her fillyfriend. Having Scootaloo’s friends be the culprits was worrisome. With a reluctance in her voice, she answered the queries and fulmination by Apple Bloom.

“Look, kid. I know it seems strange to you both. I’m over ten years older than Scootaloo, yet I’m dating her. I don’t expect you or Sweetie Belle to understand. But, Scoots and I, well, we complete each other. She’s like my other half. We make the other extremely happy. Yeah, the age difference is super weird and all, but her and I don’t mind it. Love is love. Long as both ponies care for the other, why should anything like age, shared interests, or other stuff matter?”

Sweetie Belle glanced at Scootaloo silently. The white-pastel unicorn was exceedingly shocked by the romantic news of one of her best friends. She opened her mouth to speak, but couldn’t formulate words. The unicorn closed her mouth before Apple Bloom’s voice permeated the clubhouse.

“Ah’m not sure iffin Ah und’rstand, Rainbow. It’s nice ya’ll compliment the oth’r an’ all, bu’ Ah still think it’s weird.”

Changing tactics, Rainbow attempted to delineate with an analogy. It was a simple one that she was certain would be more easily understood.

“Okay, so imagine that Scootaloo is a peanut butter sandwich while I’m a jelly sandwich. Both taste great on their own, but, when combined, become a deliciously paired sandwich that’s more enjoyable.”

Apple Bloom put a pensive hoof to her chin. While regarding Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, the yellow filly tapped it multiple times. The southern pony was hushed for several moments as she mulled it over.

Rainbow Dash waited with baited breath, hoping that her sandwiched similitude could cause comprehension. Her eyes glanced at Sweetie Belle, who was still laconic, before they returned to Applejack’s younger sibling.

“Yer sayin’ that both ya’ll are bett’r when togeth’r than bein’ sep’rate ponies? An’ ev’n though ya’ll can be great solo, comminglin’ is when ya’ll be happiest?”

“Precisely, kid. Age gap or not, Scoots and I are a team. We’re dating, deeply in love, and plan to continue seeing each other.”

Scootaloo closed the gap between herself and her two best friends. The irrepressible and zesty filly put an orange hoof on the shoulders of Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom.

“What she said. Crusaders, you need to promise to keep this a secret. Rainbow warned me that it was immoral. We’re romantically attached. Her and I are enamored with each other. Please keep this clandestine conclave concealed.”

Finding her voice, Sweetie Belle spoke with a high-pitched tone.

“Clandestine? Conclave? What are you, a dictionary?”

Scootaloo smirked at the friendly jibe. She grinned while gently giving the unicorn a noogie.

“Oh, c’mon. You’re parroting the same thing I asked you when we visited the Everfree Forest a while ago?”

Sweetie Belle feigned ire at Scootaloo’s touch and gently pushed the pegasus aside before fixing her coif. The pink tufts of Sweetie’s coiffure went from disheveled to orderly. Giving a playful glare to the orange filly, the white unicorn replied.

“I remember that. You didn’t know what ‘rapturous’ meant.”

Rainbow Dash cleared her throat and reminded the three fillies that were getting off topic. She gazed intently at Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle while imploring them to keep the relationship between her and Scootaloo secretive.

“Please, girls. Nopony can know about this; especially not Applejack or Rarity. None of you can let others know what Scootaloo and I do together.”

“We promise, Rainbow.” Sweetie said.

Rainbow shook her head and requested a proper Pinkie Promise. She explained it was the only way she’d believe their words.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle recited the scripted pledge for a Pinkie Promise and gesticulated the stated expressions.

Scootaloo walked towards Rainbow Dash and stood next to her marefriend.

Rainbow nodded her approval and thanked them fervently. She sat on her haunches near Scootaloo and looked upwards at the bubbly orange pegasus.

Scootaloo grinned and put her hoof on Rainbow’s kaleidoscopic mane before ardently petting her marefriend’s head. The filly smiled warmly when she heard Rainbow squeal pleasurably from her touch.

“You know, girls…” Scootaloo began. “Rainbow and I aren’t just dating. There’s more to it than that.”

Rainbow froze. She immediately understood what Scootaloo wanted to do and asked her fillyfriend if it was wise.

Scootaloo smiled gently and replied to her lover. The ebullient filly mentioned that her two friends had Pinkie Promised to keep the relationship secretive so there wouldn’t be any harm in fully elucidating their dichotomy.

Hearing the chatter, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle shared a mutual look of confusion apiece before the southern pony spoke up.

“What ya’ll talkin’ ‘bout?”

Sweetie Belle piqued. “Yeah! Tell us!”

Scootaloo held gaze with Rainbow Dash. The speedster was hesitant to reveal the full extent of their shared reciprocity. However, trusting the vow from her Mistress’s best friends, the weathermare nodded her approval.

With a smile, Scootaloo turned to the unicorn and Earth pony. The pegasus filly kept her hoof lying on Rainbow’s mane. She scooted closer to the cerulean mare before speaking to her two best friends.

“Rainbow Dash isn’t just my marefriend, girls. She’s my pet.”

“Come again, Scoots? Whatcha meanin’ by that?”

Scootaloo softly removed her hoof from Rainbow’s mane and lovingly stroked the rainbow-haired pegasus under the chin. Chuckling from Rainbow’s excited squeal and swishing tail, she continued to explain.

“Like I said, she’s my pet. Rainbow Dash, or, Dashie, as I affectionately nicknamed her, is at my beck-and-call. She addresses me as Mistress, obeys any orders I give her, and loves to be completely dominated and subservient to me.”

Sweetie Belle released a surprised shrill squeal while Apple Bloom’s muzzle went agape. Scootaloo drawled on while rubbing under Rainbow’s mandible.

“Every word is true. Dashie enjoys being teased, ridiculed, collared, controlled and commanded. If I demand that she jumps, she’ll do it. Any order I give, she immediately complies. Dashie is a good girl. A very obsequious pet.”

Rainbow’s cheeks tinged pink due to the constant praise of her Mistress. The pegasus’s tongue lolled from the fervid sensations of Scootaloo and she squeaked from the wholehearted extol. Her tail swished rapidly. Rainbow gazed longingly at her owner.

Sweetie Belle’s muzzle became agape. Her and Apple Bloom shared a look for several seconds. Seeing Rainbow Dash in her current position dictated a tacit understanding that Scootaloo’s words were accurate. Their gaze went from each other, then to Rainbow Dash, before returning to each other. Suddenly, they concomitantly giggled.

“Wow! The great Rainbow Dash is a pet? For a little filly, no less?”

“Heh. That’s amusin’. Mah sis speaks highly of ya, Rainbow. Guess yer not so great, huh?”

The blush burned deeper from the demeaning of both fillies. Rainbow was tight-lipped.

Scootaloo chuckled at the abrasive teasing demeanors of her two friends. She was unfamiliar with their caustic behavior. Despite enjoying it, she hastily told them that Rainbow Dash was her pet, and only she could ridicule her.

The two fillies grinned sheepishly. Both quickly asserted they understood and wouldn’t do it again without Scootaloo’s approval. With a mocking and deriding stare, their eyes scrutinized Rainbow Dash.

Suddenly, Scootaloo pushed her hoof upwards and caused Rainbow’s head to tilt in the same direction. Grinning, the filly lowered her head and pressed her lips to Rainbow’s own. Both lovers kissed passionately. Scootaloo slid an orange hoof softly down Rainbow’s cheek and towards her neck. She clutched the speedster’s neck fur and happily french kissed her marefriend in a licentious manner. When the two ponies ceased, Scootaloo victoriously grinned at the mare. She leaned down and gently nibbled at her lover’s ear.

A shiver shot up Rainbow’s spine at the coquettish display. With lustful and salacious desires coursing through her body, the speedster attempted to kiss Scootaloo. However, the filly brought a hoof to Rainbow’s muzzle and the speedster immediately stopped.

“Not so fast, Pet. Remember who’s in charge.”

Rainbow was silent. Her tail swished excitedly from her owner’s authoritative tone.

Gesturing to her two best friends, Scootaloo demanded that Rainbow Dash use her proper honorific in their presence.

“What’s my name, Pet?”

Without hesitation, Rainbow spoke concisely. “Mistress Scootaloo.”

“Good girl.” Scootaloo purred.

The sounds of laughter filled the clubhouse again as Apple Bloom’s giggling and Sweetie Belle’s chortling combined in a risible mixture of euphoria. Sweetie Belle stomped her hooves while Apple Bloom clutched at her belly. Both were crying tears of hysterics.

“Ah’ve nev’r seen somethin’ so amusin’. Wow, Scootaloo! Ah can’t believe ya got the famed Rainbow Dash as yer pet!”

“Yeah! Yeah! She looks pretty cute sitting like a good puppy at your hooves, Scootaloo.”

Rainbow Dash squealed from the teasing words. Her cerulean fur was turning beet-red around her cheeks.

Scootaloo chuckled as the words caused her property to flush pink. She knew Rainbow was loving the degradation. The orange pegasus was feeling provocative and relished the opportunity to continue razzing her marefriend. With a devilish smirk, she turned towards her pet.

“Hey, Dashie?”

“Yes, Mistress?”

“Be a good girl and tell my friends how honored you are to be my pet.”

The blush continued to glow, Rainbow complied. She gazed intently at Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. She saw both fillies were smugly smirking at her. The weatherpony shuffled her hooves before obeying Scootaloo.

“Mistress Scootaloo has given me the greatest honor. Being her pet fills me with deep satisfaction. I’m extremely honored to be her toy. She is the best owner that a pet could hope to have. With her as my Mistress, I feel excited, happy, loved, supported, and cherished. There’s no better joy in my life than to serve her and obey all commands she orders. Thank you for granting me the privilege to be your pet, Mistress Scootaloo.”

Seeing the speedster bow to their friend caused the unicorn and Earth pony to guffaw heartily. They were enjoying the oleaginous display. Tittering, they raised a hoof over their muzzle and profusely chuckled into it.

“You’ve got her trained well, Scootaloo.”

“Ah agree. Yer pet is well-mannered.”

Scootaloo lovingly scratched behind Rainbow’s ears. The sensation caused Rainbow to sigh blissfully. Her eyes closed and she hummed an approving sound. The filly smiled at the kittenish display from her pet.

“She’s a very good girl. But, sometimes, she can be a naughty little whorse, too. Would you girls like to see?”

Rainbow gasped at the implication, though Scootaloo quickly hushed her with a stern warning. The school-aged pegasus glared at her property and leered disapprovingly.

“No complaining, Pet. I make the rules. If I command you to do something, I expect your compliance. Understood?”

“Yes, Mistress.”

“Good.” Scootaloo said approvingly.

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom shared a look of uncertainty. They weren’t fully understanding what Scootaloo had suggested.

Apple Bloom asked Scootaloo what implicit hint she meant. In response, Scootaloo cheerfully grinned.

“I’m inviting you two to use her. You’re my best friends and I want to share my naughty pet whorse with you.”

“Yer wantin’ us to kiss Rainbow or summin’?”

Scootaloo fought back a laugh. Apple Bloom’s innocent question was risible, though she suppressed a chuckle.

“Not just that, Apple Bloom. Both you and Sweetie Belle would have free reign with Dashie. You could mock her, call her names, kiss her, have her pleasure you. The possibilities are endless.”

“Have her ‘pleasure’ us? You and Rainbow have been doing that Scootaloo?”

“Of course, Sweetie Belle. Dashie and I do many concupiscent activities. I’ll spare you the details. Since you and Apple Bloom are my two best friends, you both can do as you wish with my pet.”

Rainbow opened her mouth to respond, but a sharp glare from Scootaloo made the speedy pegasus close it. She squeaked at the harsh gaze of her owner.

Scootaloo gently began to pat Rainbow’s mane and whispered soothing reassurance. She reminded Rainbow Dash what a good pet she was, and how much she enjoyed being a submissive pony. The coaxing worked and Rainbow mumbled her approval.

“Yeah. I really do love it! It feels natural to submit to a superior pony like you, Mistress.”

With a gentle kiss to Rainbow’s cheek, Scootaloo replied.

“Good girl, Dashie. You’ll be well-behaved for your Owner’s best friends too, won’t you?”

Rainbow meekly nodded, wanting to showcase her obedience and ability to be proper property.

“I knew you’d agree. Make me proud, pet.”

Smirking, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle stepped towards Rainbow Dash. Both fillies rubbed their hooves devilishly. Apple Bloom thanked Scootaloo for sharing and Sweetie Belle gazed smugly at Rainbow Dash.

“This is gonna be awesome.” Sweetie cheerfully said.

Scootaloo demanded Rainbow stand erect, and, when the speedster complied, the orange filly swatted Dash’s rump playfully.

“Walk towards them and offer your services, Dashie.”

Nodding in understanding, the speedster complied. Her hooves made soft clopping noises on the wooden floor of the clubhouse. It took only a few seconds for the cerulean mare to close the distance. Once complete, she kowtowed obediently to both fillies before sitting on her haunches.

“Both of you are the best friends of my Mistress. Therefore, I am compelled to serve you to my utmost abilities. I will follow any command and do any task given. I want to make my owner and her friends very happy. Please use me at your leisure.”

Sweetie giggled from the self-deprecation and servile attitude of the multichromatic-maned pegasus. She put a white hoof gently on Rainbow’s head and patted it thrice.

Apple Bloom cockily grinned at the toady display. She glanced at Scootaloo and her grin widened when the pegasus nodded affirmatively at her. Chuckling, she squinted at the kaleidoscopic-maned pony and thought of what to do.

“Oh, ya can bet Sweetie an’ Ah will use ya, loser.”

Rainbow squirmed at the derogatory remark. Her eyes flickered to her owner. Scootaloo gave her pet a smug grin and Rainbow squealed again.

“Thank you, Apple Bloom. Thank you, Sweetie Belle.”

“Nuh-uh. Call us Mistress, Rainbow.” Sweetie instructed.

“No, girls. I’m fine sharing her, but Rainbow’s only Mistress will be me. I don’t mind letting you both borrow my pet, however, Rainbow belongs to me alone.”

Sweetie hastily apologized and cited her eager excitement for the faux pas. Scootaloo forgave her and gave the Earth pony and unicorn free reign.

“Still. She can’t use our names as if she’s an equal. Can she call us Queen, Scootaloo?”

The orange filly shrugged nonchalantly. She had no gripe with that idea. Nodding at her two friends, she gave her pet the order to address her friends as Queen.

With a piping voice, Rainbow spoke with a sycophantic and ingratiating tone. Her eyes never left the irises of the fillies.

“Queen Apple Bloom and Queen Sweetie Belle. Please allow this whorse to serve you.”

“That’s better. Such a well-mannered little whorse.”

“Git ready ta be our bitch, loser.”

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle retrograded away from the submissive pegasus. They ambled to a corner of the clubhouse and were deep in conversation about what to make Rainbow do.

The speedster observed them for a while. Scootaloo remained quiet at their display.

After three minutes, both fillies walked back towards Rainbow Dash and wore smug grins. They appeared imposing and Rainbow felt excited with what they had planned.

Apple Bloom spoke to the cerulean weathermare.

“Yer first task, dirty whorse, is ta…”
