The group stared in awe at the figure standing before them. She was tall, standing over a head taller than any pony they had ever seen, and she had a flowing, mutlicolored mane that shimmered in the light of the sun. Her body was a brilliant white, and sported impossible curves (why were white-coated ponies always so hot?) that both drew attention and intimidated viewers, wrapped in a complex array of cloth and golden armor that gave her an air of command and power. One could feel heat radiating from her body, but it was calming, because you knew that her power encircled and protected you.

It was none other than Princess Celestia herself.

"Pri-Pri-Princess! Nice to see you! We were... ummm, just on our way! Since you, uh, asked us to show up! Yeah!" Twilight Sparkle stammered lamely. It was the truth, but Twilight was still embarrassed about encountering her given the group's current situation.

"Twilight, my most faithful student, I am well aware of the reasons for your presence in Canterlot, and I do indeed recall sending for you, but that was just a few hours ago! Surely, you couldn't have interpreted my message as incredibly urgent?"

"But, but... the changelings! You said-" Twilght began.

"I said the changelings were beginning a new offensive. They have already done some damage, but they won't be making progress anytime soon. I simply wanted to call the situation to your attention so we could be properly prepared for when it does become a problem." Celestia clarified.

Twilght took this moment simply to blush and don a sheepish look, suddenly becoming very interested in the pattern etched into a nearby stone wall. Princess Celestia gave a light chuckle at her behavior.

"Now, about my first question." Celestia began. Twilight was forced to recall the heart-pounding moment when Celestia asked if they'd been having fun. "I must admit, I never expected you to discover the pleasures of the flesh on your own, but I suppose I should have had more faith in you. I simply have to ask you who you introduced, but we'll get to that later."

Twilight sighed in relief as her eyes widened in terror at the same, having a dual revelation. Somehow, Celestia had mis-interpreted her letter and didn't know that they had made love to each other, instead thinking they had found somepony else to share those pleasures with. While this meant Celestia was alright with the basic idea, as she was already assured by the letter, it also meant her reaction to finding out Twilight and her friends were doing it with each other was unpredictable. Celestia's voice drew her from her thoughts.

"I've been meaning to teach you for a long while, Twilight Sparkle, but I never knew when it would be the right time to re-introduce something so... risque, back into society."

They had entered the main hall after passing a few unguarded hallways at the entrance. Celestia turned left, taking another hallway that led towards the brighter end of the castle. It seemed Celestia and Luna had split the castle into halves now that Luna had returned.

"What do you mean, re-introduce, Princess?" asked Rarity.

"Rarity, correct?" She nodded. "You don't honestly think other ponies have been able to do something like this and keep it a secret from all of you, do you? Especially not one with your penchant for gathering news." Rarity blushed at the pseudo-compliment.

"Actually, you six were destined to re-discover this old activity, but Luna's return was required before the Elements of Harmony could move on to their next stage." Celestia said ominously. "The art of making love is her domain, after all. I became slightly familiar with it during my reign without her, but only in a rudimentary fashion. You are familiar with the mating ritual, I trust?" Celestia inquired. Surprisingly, Pinkie Pie was the first one to speak up.

"Yeah, isn't that where a mare and a stallion come to you and you cast a spell that uses their love to make the mare pregnant?" Celestia shook her head at this.

"While you are, in a way, correct Pinkie Pie dear, I think you have fallen into the same naive mindset that most ponies believe when it comes to mating. You see, I cast a spell I learned from Luna in the early days which sends them into a haze of lust. They make love, and in most cases a foal will be conceived. You have wondered, I'm sure, why the mating ritual can only be performed successfully in Spring?" At this, Twilight Sparkle spoke up, raising her hand like a school-filly.

"Oh, oh, I know this one! Spring marks the estrus period, when ponies go into heat. While heat serves little purpose for Stallions, simply making them more romantic towards mares, mares themselves begin the ovulation cycle, which allows the eggs they save in their bodies throughout the year to be fertilized via the ritual." Twilight crossed her arms, confident in her answer.

"Everything completely correct, my faithful student, except one aspect. The mating ritual isn't a required part of the process. Making love, or sex as it was called in the old days, during the spring is the only part that is required for a foal to be conceived successfully." Celestia clarified, making them all scrunch their noses in thought.

They had entered a well-lit tower, now beginning to ascend a wide, spiraling staircase. Twilight recognized it as the entrance to Celestia's personal turret, when she would sometimes be admitted to practice new, dangerous spells. Those times always got her so excited.

"Sex." Said Rarity, tasting the seemingly simple syllable. It felt powerful coming off her tongue, primal even. Hot, heavy, wet.

It was a fitting word.

"Yes, dear Rarity. Ponies engaged in sex much more frequently during Luna and my joint-rulership over a millenia ago, and, if I recall correctly, enjoyed it immensely. This is why we have agreed to re-instate its practice among the general populace, and that is the main reason I have called you here. We need you to learn the art of sex until you are masters, and then you will be prepared to teach the ponies of Equestria its pleasures." said Celestia. Next, Fluttershy spoke.

"But Princess, why wouldn't the ponies have discovered this, uhm, love-making already. It's been one thousand years. Don't you think that almost any ponies who were in love would discover it eventually?"

"Alas not, my dear Fluttershy. Lust, the emotion that leads to sex, is not possible for ponies without Luna's presence. Just as I ensure that the ponies are healthy and productive, Luna guides them towards play and fulfillment. I could cover for most of her duties, though not as well as her, and I never could truly grasp the concept of sex, so I simply suspended its practice until she returned. You are familiar with masturbation, yes? Don't be shy, everypony does it sometimes. I managed to get the hang of making ponies want and enjoy it, but only recently." Celestia finished. Applejack finally spoke, having looked like she had discovered something fishy about this whole ordeal.

"Say, Princess, what was the point of calling us up here about the changelings if this ain't really about them?" She inquired. The rest of the mane six agreed with her point; it did seem as if they were being tricked.

"Actually, there was reasoning behind this decision. Luna and I have agreed that you will learn the art of sex best by confronting others who are utilizing it. Chrysalis is not bound to Luna nor I, and she has discovered that sex extracts large volumes of love from her victims. She plans to abuse this fact in a steady takeover of Equestria. We are on to her, and have been making negotiations for weeks now. She already has assumed majority control over Stalliongrad, but we have her hedged into a corner there. She nor her changeling swarm will be going anywhere anytime soon." Celestia assured them. "it will ultimately be up to you six to defeat her, but maybe not in the way you would think."

They had reached the top of the tower and reached a gilded doorway, marking the entrance to Celestia's private chambers, and entered. Her room was resplendant, as befitted royalty, having a huge, princess-sized (of course) bed, a full-length mirror, polished marble tiles, and other items that likely had immeasurable value.

At this, Celestia approached what appeared to be a large safe and opened it with her horn, bringing out the familiar box that they knew contained the Elements of Harmony. The mane six were used to seeing them by now, but they still held some awe, and they were glowing oddly...

"Say Princess, why are these up here instead of in the hallway with all the stained glass, like last time?" Rainbow Dash said what was on all their minds.

"Actually, Rainbow Dash, Luna and I have been studying them closely. They began acting up just this morning, projecting large volumes of powerful magic. We can't discern what they are truly doing, since we are no longer connected to the Elements. You are the first bearers of the Elements of Harmony since ourselves, so there isn't exactly extensive documentation on their powers. You six must discover their secrets on your own." said Celestia.

They took their respective elements out of their container, putting them away for now.

It was at this moment that Twilight's clothes vanished, the illusionary spell maintaining her facsimile of clothing finally having worn off.

With a squeak, Twilight tried her best to cover her body with her hands, and was mostly successful, so long as nopony walked around her back.

They all blushed, remembering how she got this way, Applejack being the most embarrassed. She was the one who ripped her clothes right off during their hot train sex.

"What is the meaning of this?" Celestia said sternly, though not angrily.

"We're sorry, Princess, but I think it's best to hold out on explaining until Princess Luna gets here." Applejack covered for them, feeling she owed it to Twilight.

"Alright, My Little Ponies, I'll trust your judgement. I wonder where Luna has gotten to, however. I did ask her to meet me in my room at around this time..." Celestia pondered.

As if hearing her, Luna suddenly teleported into the room.

Luna stroke an image much unlike her sister's. Where Celestia was huge, bold, and bright, Luna was shorter (still far taller than themselves), wearing darker, more practical clothing that implied she was beautiful, but dangerous. She reminded Twilight and Rarity of the knights from the old stories, always rescuing handsome princes from the clutches of evil dragons.

An ideal for everypony to follow much like Celestia was, just a different kind.

"We are sorry, Sister, we did hear your mental call. We simply had to... prepare a few things..." Luna smirked as she said the last part. She clearly had been practicing her Modern Equestrian; her speech was much more coherent, but she still used improper tenses at times.

"Ah, there you are, Luna, we were just wondering about you. Regardless, I am glad you could make it, sister." She walked up to her sister and hugged her. "I trust you know why the Elements are here?" Luna extracted herself from the hug and smiled.

"Yes, sister, I know exactly why they are here... and I know what they've done." Luna said with a grin.

"What would that be, Luna? You were always more in tune with the ponies' emotions than I."

"Well, let's just say they've definitely gotten some experience under their belts, though the source may seem unlikely." Luna seemed so impossibly happy about something, but nopony in the room could figure out what it was. At this point, she noticed the nude Twilight Sparkle.

"Ah! Going sky-clad already, I see. This is a good sign, Twilight, many ponies in the old days would bare their bodies to the elements. It's much more sensual, don't you agree?"

Twilight blushed and nodded meekly at being the center of attention.

"Luna, what are you getting at?" Celestia asked.

"Can you not see, dear sister? These ponies are undeniably horny for each other!" She noticed the looks of confusion on each of the mane six's faces. "Ah, horny, sorry, was a slip of the tongue. 'Twas an old word for, well, the feeling you all are experiencing right now."

She was right. The mane six still were hot for each other after their sex on the train ride here. They had each only attained one orgasm, and hungered for more, the heat from their marehoods calling out for release. It had gotten worse since they entered Celestia's room, causing them to shift uncomfortably as nipples hardened against the fabric of their shirts.

Celestia had an inscrutable expression on her face. "You mean to say, sister, that... the Elements have made love with each other?" She seemed to have difficulty processing the idea. "I wasn't even aware two mares could do such a thing, let alone six!"

"Actually, Tia, they have done the deed several times, and once on the train on the way here. I heard many reports of odd smells and mares with stains on their clothes. Trust me on this, sex is my jurisdiction." said Luna. "I also, however, have not heard of coupling between ponies other than mares and stallions, but I think we can trust the Elements. After all, the heart of sex is experimentation." Luna seemed on board with the idea. "Maybe I will partake in the pleasures of a mare someday soon..."

"Ah'm the one who ripped up Twilight's clothes, Princess." Applejack admitted with a blush.

Celestia seemed uncomfortable with this conversation, which made sense since it wasn't her domain, and changed the topic.

"I had originally intended for Luna to begin practice with you immediately as you arrived, but it seems you will require a night to, well, cool off, as it were." Celestia said, embarrassed.

"Yes, sister, I agree with this plan. However," Luna held up a single dusky finger. "They must abstain from making love with each other until I give them permission, and must sleep in separate rooms tonight. Consider it a sort of test." She was addressing the mane six with that last remark. To their surprise, Twilight interjected into the conversation.

"Err, Princess, sorry to interrupt, but can we borrow some new clothes? And get a shower?"

After getting themselves washed, clothed, and fed, they worked out the details. They would remain in Canterlot for a while, however long it took them to learn the 'secrets of the flesh', as Luna called them, then leave for Stalliongrad. Tomorrow they were to begin lessons immediately, beginning with vocabulary, much to Twilight's delight.

It was already getting late, since they had arrived in Canterlot in the evening, so they decided to simply retire to their rooms for the night. They shared the same hall, but their seperated rooms were clearly labeled with their cutie marks emblazoned on the front at eye-level on each door. They reluctantly said their goodnights, pining for their friends' touch, then closed the doors and prepared for bed.

Or, at least, that's what it looked like. Her marehood had only gotten wetter throughout the day, and her nipples positively ached. Twilight Sparkle honestly couldn't wait to get out of the stuffy clothes and start masturbating.

So she didn't.

The clothes were off in a flash, literally, since Twilight teleported them off her body and onto her dresser. She tossed her bag with her big crown thingy inside to the floor, leaped into bed and plunged three fingers straight into her sopping marehood, thinking of her friends and how they were likely doing the same thing. She took her other hand and began to caress her curves sensually, stopping to pinch at her nipples as her hand passed them.

Confirmation of her friends clopping came with the sound of Pinkie Pie moaning next door. Suddenly, Twilight had an idea.

She spread her lower lips wide and flicked at her clit a little. Normally, she would save this for later, preferring to draw out her orgasms, but it had the desired effect. She moaned loudly, ensuring her friends in the rooms next door could hear. She thought she heard a particularly loud groan from across the hall. It sounded like Rarity, but she couldn't be absolutely sure. Regardless, the sound served to turn her on even more.

Since she had started with the most sensitive part of her body, it was of no surprise that she came quickly. She made sure to give in to the sensation and screamed out loud, hopefully making her friends... what was it Luna said? Hornier for her, that was it.

She had only cum once. She needed more.

It seemed the other mares were catching on to the idea. Twilight could hear the sound of Pinkie Pie's hand squelching in and out of her sopping wet marehood, apparently having gone up as close to Twilight's wall as possible. She even heard Fluttershy's little squeaks and moans, occasionally calling out Rainbow Dash's name. Apparently, she heard her, and started calling back. Twilight didn't know about them, but it was certainly getting her more fired up.

Twilight switched hands, bringing the one she came on up to her mouth for a quick cleaning. She licked at the digits of her hand like Rarity had after she first clopped in front of them, and found she rather enjoyed the taste. Maybe she would taste one of her friends some other time. She'd seen the new technique they'd been developing for pleasuring each other with their tongues a few times now, and had been simply dying to try it out since. Now she had even further incentive.

She pumped her fingers faster, imagining Rarity lapping at her dripping folds while she made out with Pinkie Pie, with Fluttershy and Applejack each sucking on her breasts (oooh, that was a good idea!), and Rainbow Dash at the mercy of her hands. The imaginary attention made her magic go into overdrive, making her aches for her friends' ministrations almost become a reality as it simulated their touch. She was groaning even louder now, and there was a cacophony of moans and other sexual noises coming from the adjoining rooms. She was sure they could be heard throughout most of the castle at this point.

Somehow, that thought only made her juices flow faster.

Twilight's back arched in pleasure as she came a second time, letting a deluge of mare-cum fall from her marehood, staining the sheets even more deeply than before. There was something unbelievably sexy about lying in sheets stained by her own sweat and sexual fluids.

Even while her marehood was still contracting around her fingers, Twilight was thrusting away, chasing a third. By the sound of it, her friends weren't done either, if anything having gotten louder after they reached their second orgasms. Twilight wanted to escalate, but she was already moving her hand so fast, with four fingers inside herself, and magic tending to her breasts. What could she do to make it even better?

Suddenly getting an idea, Twilight refocused her magic away from her nipples did a mental sweep of the room, noting any long, slender objects. Finally, she found something that might work; her tail comb, She had almost settled for the mane comb, but her tail comb had a thicker handle. She telekinesed it over and gripped it upside-down, then thrust it into her marehood with wild abandon.

She had practically groaned her throat raw already, but still managed to let out a loud moan as she thrust the object inside, feeling it fill her unlike anything before. It was slightly difficult at first, but she found that her orgasmic fluids acted as a natural lubricant, making it slip and slide more easily. It went deeper and was easier to thrust than fingers, a large improvement in many ways. It was thick enough to get all her walls if she clamped down on it.

When the other girls taught her the tongue thing, she had something to show them as well.

She heard Pinkie scream in release first, then Applejack, then Fluttershy, then Rainbow Dash.

Twilight couldn't hold it in any longer. She gave in and simply let the orgasm take her, wracking her body with pleasure as she completely ruined her tail comb, staining it permenantly with the volume of fluid from her marehood.

Finally, Rarity cried out, signalling she had finished.

Finally sated, the mane six simply lied there, not bothering to clean up or find somewhere less damp to sleep. They all drifted off into sweet dreams of gentle caresses and affection. Their elements glowed brightly on the floors of their rooms.

"One thing is for sure." Twilight thought as she drifted to sleep. "I'm going to need a new tail brush."

Author's Note

Now we know why I've been using a limited vocabulary when talking about sexy things. Pony society doesn't have words anymore for that stuff, but I'm sure Luna knows quite a few that were popular back in her day...

Btw, don't be afraid to give a thumbs up if you fave the story! Celestia knows I love me some thumbs up.
