The group was now packed and ready, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom were all set for staying with Spike, and everypony was ready for the great hike. Their first obstacle was traversing the Everfree Forest, a constant reminder that not all is good natured in Equestria. Applejack was in charge of provisions so she pulled a rather large wagon, while Pinkie and Fluttershy were up ahead as lookouts. Rarity for once packed reasonably, and only carried what was truly necessary. Luna and Twilight provided magical cover while Vinyl was on the lookout for some possible Changling scouts like a professional hunter.

“Well Luna, besides the part about the moat, what is the plan to get Dash out of there and not be noticed?” Twilight asked.

“The idea is to form a distraction. Chrysalis will surely be hard to get away from Dash. So we will have use the smoke bombs I borrowed from the guards. Once that happens you, Vinyl and Rarity will use your speed to get to Dash and get out, while we will try and hold them off.”

“But that seems like a death sentence!”

“Trust us Twilight. I and your friends and more durable then you think.”

ust as Twilight was about to agree a scream that sounded a lot like Fluttershy echoed through the forest. The group ran forward, findin the yellow Pegasus on the shaking on the ground. Shifting their gazes in the direction she was staring they found the source of Fluttershy’s fear.

It was something out of a filly horror stories turned into reality. Large purple tentacles came from the shadows, holding Pinkie Pie in place. Four of them were making her spread in mid-air, while two more were penetrating her anus and already moist vagina. They worked in unison making the pink mare squirm in delight. Her eyes were glossy, probably from something that the monster injected into her beforehand. The pink mares face was that of happiness and incredible arousal.

“We have to save her!” Twilight pleaded and the other mares nodded in agreement.
Twilight attempted to pull out the tentacles, but for some reason her magic grip kept slipping. Rarity jumped at one of them, but the ooze that covered the thing was also affecting her. As Luna and Fluttershy were about jump at the creature, Vinyl stopped them.

“What is the meaning of this Vinyl?!”

“Sorry Princess, but I can’t let it affect you as well.”

Vinyl pointed to Rarity as the goo began to enter her mouth, making her light-headed as Pinkie Pie was.

“We must not get the aphrodisiac inside our mouths. The effect will wear off after they reach their climax, and Lubex gets fed.”

“Wait, you just called that thing Lubex, how do you know its name?” asked Fluttershy.

“Well, when you chase Changelings all your adult life, you come across a lot of bizarre stuff, including old Lubex. The good thing he is not dangerous, for the most part. The bad part is, I did not know that at first.”

A awkward gulp came from both Luna and Fluttershy as they tried to picture the situation.

“So, we just… watch?”

“Unfortunately yes. We have to wait for Rarity, Pinkie, and Twilight to cool down.”

Vinyl pointed to Twilight, who was trying to fight Rarity but could not run away from the kiss. Her look began to change from fear into sheer arousal. Soon enough the purple mare was returning the kiss, trying to eat Rarity from the inside out.
Pinkie was still in mid-air, her mind long lost in trance from the constant bombardment of the creature’s hormones. Almost every possible hole was being penetrated, as well as her belly being stroked.

Vinyl, Fluttershy, and Luna kept looking while a faint amount of fluids escaping their folds.
Twilight was now already caressing the spread Rarity on the field in front of them, massaging her treasure with deadly accuracy. Rarity was no slouch either, pushing her hoof generously into Twilight, making sure the unicorn got her fair share of it as well. The two mares indulged in an act of pure and primal sex, while their friend Pinkie was used as an object of lust for an dark entity from the depths of Everfree Forest.

The scene continued mercilessly and each powerful thrust from Lubex or lick followed by an innovative use of a horn by the two Sisters making watching the scene more and more unbearable. Luna and Fluttershy were already dripping intensively, while Vinyl managed to keep her body in check the one pony standing between this scene and a utter orgy.
And then the crescendo happened. A thick stream of the aphrodisiac filled Pinkie Pie, and the beast lowered his prey gently onto the field. The tentacles disappeared among the trees, and even Twilight and Rarity began to regain control.
The rest of the troop, with Vinyl’s permission, ran to them to help them regain their composure and balance, not to mention to help if some of the mares suffered injuries.

“Are you guys okay?” whispered Fluttershy.

“What…what happened? Rarity!?”

Twilight and Rarity jumped from each other’s embrace, and gave a red face that could be seen from there to Canterlot.
“I vote for not mentioning this to anypony ever, agreed?” said Vinyl, and with a resounding “YES!” the rest agreed.
Even Pinkie Pie left the scene unharmed, but she could not hide a small smile as they left.

The rest of the hike through the forest was rather quiet, with a lot of awkward silence, with even Pinkie Pie managing to withhold her usual bubbly attitude.
They were soon out in the open fields looking over a small village.

“Wow, I haven't been here in a very long time…” said Luna, her eyes fixed on the black and grey houses, done in what looked like her own favorite design.

“That architecture seems familiar Princess, it is almost as if … “ said Twilight

“I made it?”

“Yes, exactly.”

“Well my dear mares, that is not entirely true. You see most of the houses and towns in Equestria are done in a Celestial Style, if you will. But a few of the ponies still see me as their favorite princess, even after Nightmare Moon. Starfall is one of those kinds of villages. I just hope they still welcome me and aren't just too lazy to change the housing style.”

“Maybe if you went in not looking as Luna, so we can first see the situation?” Applejack suggested.

“That would be the best idea.”

And with a strong spell that began to twirl around the moon princess, Luna became a brown earth pony, with a black mane and green eyes. Her cutie mark was that of a hammer and nail, signifying her new persona.
But instead of bewilderment, Pinkie just smiled and placed her hooves in a welcoming fashion, to which Rarity placed a small bag of bits.

“Eh, what is the matter?”

“Oh nothing, I just had a bet with Rarity some months back that “Hammer Toss” was one of the princesses in disguise.”

“Am I that obvious?”

“Oh not really, it’s just my Pinkie Sense, it has never failed!”

“Why do even keep trying…” mumbled Rarity, obviously not the first time she tried to test the Omnipowerful abilities of the Pinkie Sense.

Hammer Toss and her friends entered Starfall with little fuss. The resident ponies paid little attention to the pack, while an occasional friendly smile was tossed their way by the local merchants, eager to sell their fruits, vegetables, and other appliances. The mares went into an inn that was done in the same gothic style that Luna so adored.

“Welcome to “Eclipse Inn”! My name is Silly Gossip, how may I help you?”

“Good evening. We would like a set of rooms. What can you offer us?” Rarity said, being the best bargainer of them all.

“Well, by the looks of it, you gals are… one… five… seven! How about two rooms with four beds?”

“You won’t charge us the empty bed?”

“Sure, why not! That will be 20 bits per bed… 140 bits please!”

“How about 130 bits?”

“I am sorry, I don’t haggle. 140 bits.”

Just as Rarity wanted, to object, Fluttershy made her an adorable face and said: “100 bits…pretty please?”

“Eh… sure.”
As Fluttershy took the keys and smiled, the rest of the pack looked in awe of her psychic powers.

In the room where Luna, Rarity, Twilight and Fluttershy ruled the sound of soft snoring and blissful sleep after a eventful day filled with adventures of the private kind.
As Fluttershy tossed and turned in her bed, her wings not build for such a hard piece of furniture a shadowy figure grabbed her by the mouth, and with the help of two more shadowy ponies dragged her out of bed into the night.

Author's Note

Sorry for the long wait, but life keeps draging a pony down sometimes. This chapter was just a morsel, and a apologize. But the next one, oh yes that one is going to be extra special. The tree needs some love and attention too!
