The Derpy I Know And Love 4 or And The Children Shall Lead

CHAPTER TWO

Following Ritual

In spite of neither pony being a ‘groom’, and that they would be wearing matching gowns, the couple announced that they would be spending their last single night alone at home.

The wedding was at Sweet Apple Acres, the large area next to the barn was decorated and cleaned for the occasion, as was the barn for the reception.  There were two pavilions at the back on either side for the brides to get ready.  The podium was centered on the great doors of the barn, Twilight Sparkle stood there ready.  There were rows  of seat cushions full of family and friends.  There was background music provided by Vinyl Scratch, she stood ready for a sign to start the wedding march.

In either pavilion, both brides thought they would burst.  Silver Spoon and Dinky Sparkle were keeping Diamond Tiara occupied, while Apple Bloom Apple and Scootaloo Dash kept Sweetie Belle from stressing out.  The brides’ fathers were there with them, it was a toss up if Magnum or Filthy had the most tears in their eyes.

As a signal that all was ready, the mothers’ of the brides were seated.  Silver Spoon escorted Nouveau Rich and Apple Bloom escorted Pearl to their seats.

The music started, Silver Spoon and Apple Bloom processed up the aisle, next came Dinky Sparkle and Scootaloo Dash.  When in place, Vinyl paused the music.  All looked back.  Magnum and Filthy walked out of the pavilions and met in the middle.  Filthy nodded to Vinyl.  The familiar sounds of the wedding march started.  Dawn Sparkle came walking down the aisle spreading rose petals as she went.  It had been impressed on the little filly not to snack too much on them!

Then Diamond Tiara and Sweetie Belle left the pavilion and met their fathers.  Both brides thought how beautiful the other was and how lucky that they were at this moment.  They processed to the front, each grinning so hard it almost hurt.

They stopped at the front, the fathers kissed their daughters and handed their hoof to the other.

All sat and the attention was turned to the front.

Twilight looked like she was trying to say something.  But nopony heard anything.  There was a distressed look on her face, whisperings were heard from the audience.   Twilight looked out and she beckoned for a pony.  Rainbow Dash came up, Twilight said something in the pegasus’ ear,  Rainbow nodded and turned to address the assembly.

“Regrettably, Twilight is not able to properly officiate, she asks your pardon. She says that she foresaw this and made arrangements.”

Both Twilight and Rainbow walked off to the side.  There were more murmurs from the crowd.   They turned to sounds of approval as out from the barn came Princess Luna, in full royal regalia.   Diamond and Sweetie were in (pleasant) shock.  All were quiet except for Dawn who said;

“Auntie Luna!”

Luna smiled and winked at the filly.

“My most dearly beloved subjects,” the princess started.  “I was approached by the Lady Twilight Sparkle and made aware of this beautiful couple.  They have stuck by each other for years now.  Through a very hard time and good ones as well.  There are none who can doubt their love for each other.

And through all this, they have maintained their purity as a pledge to each other and to their families to prove the high quality of their love.

They have waited for the proper time at the proper place.”

Luna paused and smiled greatly.

“I remind them now that I am the Princess of the Night, and my domain includes all the rituals of the night.  This includes the oldest and most important ritual of the night, that of love.

And so, as to give them my blessings for these rituals and for a happy life, I have the great honor to ask.”

Turning to Sweetie Belle;

“Do you, Sweetie Belle take Diamond Tiara Rich to be your wedded wife?  To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?”

“I do your highness!” said Sweetie, hardly able to contain herself! It was really happening!

Then  the princess turned to Diamond;

“Do you, Diamond Tiara Rich take Sweetie Belle to be your wedded wife?  To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?”

“I do,” said Diamond, still in awe of such an important pony performing her wedding.

“Then if there is nothing else”  said Luna.

“May we say something, your highness?” asked Diamond.

“Of course, my dear.” Said Luna.

Diamond and Sweetie turned and looked out on everypony.

“Sweetie and I wanted to ask you, our friends and family, to take a moment to remember a pony who can not be here.” Said Diamond, “it was pointed out that there was never a pony that love meant more to than Fluttershy Apple.  So we would like to ask for a moment of silence in her memory as we dedicate our love to that memory, forever.”

There was a silence that was only punctuated by a sniff or two from those moved to tears.  Diamond and Sweetie, noticed the smiles of approval from Fluttershy’s closest friends.

The couple turned back to Luna who smiled at the gesture and said low;

“Nicely done!”

Then the princess continued out loud;

“The rings please.”

Silver Spoon took out a unicorn ring, while Apple Bloom brought out a ring on a gold chain.  These were enveloped in Luna’s dark blue aura and lifted before her.

“These rings I place on you as a sign of your union and a sign of the blessings of the Princess of the Night.”

The rings vanished and reappeared on the proper bride.

“In the name of the Crown and of our august self, We declare you wed.  What We join together, let no pony sunder!

You may kiss the brides.”

Luna addressed the gathering;

“May I be the first to introduce Mrs. Diamond Tiara and Mrs. Sweetie Belle Rich!”

Diamond and Sweetie thought it was the greatest kiss that they ever gave/received.  They did not hear the music, they did not hear the cheering.  They only heard their hearts pounding.  They broke the kiss and smiled.  Before they turned to go back down the aisle, Princess Luna spoke to them and said with a wink;

“You not only have my permission, but may consider it now a Royal Command.

And if there are any other questions, or if you need help for this first time, just let me know.  I will be in Ponyville until morning!”

They all laughed as Sweetie and Diamond led the wedding party to the barn for the reception.

There was a table for the wedding party with Diamond and Sweetie in the center.  Ponies lined up to congratulate them, after the family came the parents and sisters of their friends.  They got the biggest surprise when it came Twilight Sparkle’s turn.

“Congratulation Mrs. and Mrs. Rich!” said Twilight in a normal voice.

“Twilight!  There is nothing wrong with your voice!” said Sweetie Belle.

Twilight smiled and said;

“What? you did not like my wedding present?  I thought you would not mind having the princess who married your sister and Applejack to do your ceremony.  Why let them have all the fun?”

Sweetie Belle and Diamond Tiara got up and hugged Twilight.

“Thank you so much,” said Diamond and Sweetie.

The party was the best Sweetie and Diamond had ever had.  They were the center of attention.  There were gifts to start their new life together.  There were gifts of art and gifts of more practical items.  The food was spectacular and the cake was to die for.

After a time came the ‘first dance’.  The center of the floor was cleared, Octavia brought out her cello and Lyra Heartstrings brought out her lyre.  They played a love ballad as Diamond and Sweetie took the floor.

Dances had become important to them,  Indirectly, it was a dance that brought their love to light.  There was nothing that either mare knew that felt better than holding the other close while they danced.  At least nothing that they had experienced yet.

Then came the tap on the shoulders, there were Magnum and Filthy to dance with their daughters.  Both brides were so happy, then something unexpected happened.  Their fathers stopped after a time and switched brides.  The two girls had spent so much time with either family, it only felt right.

Vinyl Scratch called out that all were welcome to join them.

Then they did something that was new tradition in Equestria, the families had let the guests know ahead of time that there would be a bit dance.  Each bride had a purse and if you wanted a dance with one of the brides, you would drop a bit or more into their purse.  This was just another type of wedding gift that covered any needs that they had not received.

Everypony was also surprised to see that Princess Luna had stayed and was mingling with all the ponies.  She had had a dance with both brides and even had paid for it.  She was seen talking to Dr. Time Turner Hooves, Bubbles’ brother, a lot.  Surprisingly they were also spending time with Lyra and Bon-Bon heartstrings.

As the party started to wind down, Princess Luna on a cue from the brides’ families called for everypony’s attention.  The families were slipping out to meet the brides at Carousel Boutique.

“My loving subjects,” she said in her Royal Canterlot Voice, then toned it down. “I am sure that you like We do, wish all the best to the brides.  But we are wearing on their time and We are sure that they have something better planned for this evening.”

There were a large amounts of laughs, Diamond and Sweetie blushed but smiled.

“And so,” continued the princess, “the Brides must now take their leave of us.  They will find Our personal cart waiting for them to conduct them to their new home.  We will be here among you, my beloved Ponyvillians for as long as you like.”

Every pony cheered.  The girls hugged and kissed their friends and extended family.  Even Princess Luna gave the two a hug and a kiss of blessing on the forehead.  The girls made their way to the doors.  There indeed was Princess Luna’s cart drawn by four bat winged pegasi.

“The bouquets!” called the ladies from the crowd.

Sweetie and Diamond turned their backs to the crowd, and threw the flowers over their shoulders as they left and climbed on the cart.  Single mares and fillies dove for them, but Diamond and Sweetie did not want to wait any longer to see who got them.

There were cheers of ‘Good Luck’ and ‘We Love You’ as they rode away.

The cart stopped at Carrousel Boutique.  There stood their families, everypony smiling like never before.

Rarity came forward to talk to them.

“As promised, the apartment above the boutique is yours.  Big Mac installed a locking door at the bottom of the stair to preserve your privacy.  Here are keys to the boutique and here are keys to your apartment.

You are now equal partners in all our family’s endeavors.  When you said ‘I do’ that officially ended you ever being considered fillies again.  You are adults, and we here hope that between the six of us, we have guided you properly, but the real credit is yours.  If your friends are half the responsible adults you are, they will do well.

You will be expected to pull your weight now.  That means working any schedule agreed upon. However, I think I can give Diamond a couple days off to get everything together, then I will see you at work bright and early in two days.  I have put a sign on the front door saying that all business for the boutique will be handled from my shop at the cottage.  Less chance of any accidental intrusions.”

“And here is the key to Rich’s Barnyard Bargains,” said Filthy to Sweetie, “If Rarity can give Diamond a couple days off, I guess I can give you the time off too!”

Everypony laughed.  Rarity, Applejack and the rest of the family hugged and kissed the two, then they unlocked the door, waved at the family and went inside.  They closed and locked the door.

They just stood there kissing for a moment.  It felt very familiar.  They went to the new door, went through and locked it, just to make sure.  They made their way up the stair, hoof in hoof.  At the top what they beheld brought a smile to their faces.  There in the bedroom was all their new furniture,  but the room had been decorated like this once before.  The air was scented with perfume,  there were candles, rose petals on the bed and a red rose on each pillow.  On the bed side table was a plate of chocolate-dipped strawberries, there were two champagne flutes and this time it was a bottle of champagne on ice.  By it was a simple note from Rarity;

I hope you make full use of my gift this time.

R.

“I think my sister is trying to tell us something,” said Sweetie Belle with a giggle.

“I think it is the same thing that Princess Luna was telling us,” said Diamond.

There was a look in Diamond’s eyes.  Sweetie understood the unspoken message.

“I guess with all the concern for us,” said Sweetie with the same look in her eyes, “we should not disappoint them.  What do you think, Mrs. Rich?”

“I would have to agree, Mrs. Rich,” said Diamond.

The new names and titles thrilled them.

Even with Sweetie’s magic, it felt as if they could not get the wedding dresses off fast enough.  They did take enough time to eat a couple strawberries and have some of the champagne.

Then they laid back on the bed and kissed the kisses of pure hunger.  Four plus years of restraint was gone, and the loss was so welcome.

Sweetie broke the kiss and looked into her wife’s blue eyes.

“I’m afraid,” said Sweetie, stroking Diamond’s violet and white mane.

There was a look of concern in Diamond’s eyes.

“Of what, my love?”  said Diamond, gazing in Sweetie’s green eyes.

“What if this is not what we thought?” said Sweetie, “what if we worked our selves up over nothing?”

“Have you been happy with me for the last four years,” asked Diamond.

“More than anything!” said Sweetie, “I could not live without you now.”

“Then if there is nothing to this except a lot of made up stories, we still have each other.” Said Diamond, suddenly Sweetie felt a hoof on her marehood, “but I truly think that it will not be a problem.”

Sweetie gasped at Diamond’s touch, she renewed the kiss with even more gusto.  Then with Diamond’s hoof stimulating her, Sweetie started to work the kiss down Diamond’s neck, enjoying every inch of her pink coat.

Maneuvering herself where she could still kiss her new wife yet allow Diamond to continue her contact as long as possible, Sweetie made it to the old stopping point of the navel.  She only dwelt there a moment before continuing on to ‘unexplored territory’.

Diamond’s nipples were there on her route down.  These Sweetie had felt and stroked them on many occasions but for fear of going too far, she had never been this close.  Lightly she licked them, noticing how erect they became.

Diamond let out a moan like Sweetie had never heard from her lover before.  Sweetie then, with all the determination of four years of chastity joyfully ended, continued on.  Diamond spread her legs to give Sweetie full access.

Diamond felt Sweetie move into position between her legs, then Sweetie’s forelegs slipped under Diamond’s flanks for support and to make access more comfortable.

There before her was the ‘promised land’.  The light pink of Diamond’s coat accentuated the slightly darker pink of her marehood.  Of course Sweetie had seen the outside of it many times, how could she not and live with, sleep with or shower with her darling love for the last year.  But never like this, never this close, and never under these conditions, where all restraint has been removed.

Now it was there in front of her muzzle, she could feel Diamond tremble with yearning for Sweetie to take the next step.

In reading the books and getting what information she could out of her sister, Sweetie had never even thought of the qualities of smell and taste.  Right now, it did not matter, Sweetie could see how wet her bride had become in anticipation.

Sweetie decided that this was not the time to over think this.

Diamond was feeling overcome with waves of pure desire born of hundreds of nights of holding back her craving for a pony who was the center of her universe.

A pony that when she remembered how she use to treat her and her friends, she felt unworthy of the love being poured out on her without condition or reserve.  How could she not return the same love to her?  Now that same pony had taken the steps to please her first.  She could not tell if the tears in her eyes were from joy or from the last remnant of shame for past treatment.

Without any other pause, Diamond used her fore hooves to spread her marehood for her lover.  It glistened with the wetness born of anticipation and arousal.  The very sight was making her own marehood wet.  Sweetie could feel the yearning that she was sure that Diamond was feeling right now and she was not about to disappoint.  Sweetie moved the last couple inches and plunged her tongue into Diamond.  The feeling made Diamond gasp  and her hips twitch.

Sweetie remember from the books what the proper technique for this was and where to concentrate her efforts.  But she also felt an innate yearning ‘down there’ on herself.  This was as much her guide.

But what the books did not say was the intense pleasure that she herself was now feeling.  The excitement of the most intimate part of her lover, so long denied to her now laid bare, willingly before her.  Begging to have done what Sweetie was now doing.

An act that five or so years ago would have been to her mind unthinkable or even dirty or disgusting.  But now love had changed everything.

When she was little, she dreamed of the perfect colt, who would carry her away just like in books Rarity use to read to her.  The thought of being in love with girls was ludicrous.  But now, Sweetie reasoned that she was not in love with girls.  The thought of being in this position with any other mare had no appeal.  At this point with her pleasing Diamond, she fully understood what Rarity had said about not being in love with a mare, but being in love with Applejack.

She was in no rush and took her time to explore with her tongue.  Sweetie felt the larger outer lips and the very sensitive inner ones.  It was warm, soft, smooth and wet.  Then she found the little nub called the clit.  As she started to suck and lick on this as the books described, but it was as if she already knew what to do.  Diamond’s hip movement became more pronounced.  After so long of holding back and not giving in to lust, the orgasm did not take long.

Diamond never thought it would feel like this.  There was no parallel to this, nothing from past experiences.  Even if she wanted it to stop, there was no way it could.  It was like a train that coursed through her.  She gave an unconscious, uncontrolled cry of ecstasy.

Diamond’s hips arched up and stayed.  Sweetie remembered to continue until Diamond relaxed and collapsed to the bed.

It was as if she had been under water almost too long, she could not get her breath at first.

Sweetie crawled up to by her wife’s head and saw that Diamond was crying.

“Oh no!  Did I hurt you my Dearest?” asked Sweetie.

Diamond’s blue eyes locked in Sweetie’s green eyes.

“No my love,” said Diamond the tears were slowing.  “It was worth the wait!”

Diamond kissed Sweetie sweetly,  then she gently rolled Sweetie to her back.  And then worked her way down the way Sweetie had with her.

As Diamond passed Sweetie’s navel, Sweetie started to understand the reaction she had just witnessed from her wife.  The feeling was incredible, she could not tell if it was the feeling of years of taboo being abandoned or if it was the true joy of being loved by this pony who she knew she could not live her life without.  That did not matter, she was now married to this incredibly brave and loving pony.  She was happy beyond measure that they were bound mind, spirit and now body.

Sweetie saw in her mind’s eye what Diamond was doing being that she had just done the same to her.

Diamond was enthralled with the previously unexplored parts of her lovers body just in front of her muzzle.  Sweetie’s white coat which reminded her of purity, a purity she was now working her best to remedy.  With the sight of her marehood before her, the pink against the white, Diamond was glad that with their pledge of the past that she had never been this close before.  If she had, she knew that she could not hold back.

And now there was no reason to hold back as Diamond plunged her tongue into Sweetie as far as it would reach.  She looked up the length of Sweetie’s body and saw her love’s face in total rapture.  This urged Diamond to do her best.  She found the act of doing this was so thrilling it was exciting herself even more, just as Sweetie had discovered.  She felt her own marehood, still tingling from the afterglow, becoming even more wet.

Diamond followed with what Sweetie had done to her, and like herself, Sweetie did not take long, such was the pent up frustration of years of control.

“D I A M O N D!” cried Sweetie, then she went limp.

Diamond now slid up the bed to kiss her wife.  The two could taste the other and themselves in the deep kisses they were sharing.  This aroused them even more.

After kissing for a while, they remembered another position they had read, one that Rarity had hinted at in the past.   Diamond turned around and got between Sweetie’s hind legs then she place one of her legs over one of Sweetie’s and one under her.  Then with looks of joy and desire on their faces they brought their marehoods together.  The feeling was warm, soft and wet.  As they touched, it was as if their hips knew what to do.  As they rubbed together the feeling was exquisite.  Both lovers looked at each other at the same time, they saw the joy in the face of the other that they themselves were feeling.

This time the orgasm took longer, but they were not in any hurry.  They came about the same time.  The feeling of climaxing together was so special.  When done, they just lay back panting, still touching.

After, they would kiss, then eat strawberries, drink champagne and make love again.  They also, still being young mares, did act a little silly.

Diamond rubbed some of the chocolate from a strawberry on Sweetie’s nipples then took her time licking them clean.

Sweetie levitated a glass of champagne above Diamond’s belly and let it trickle into her love’s navel where she greedily lapped it up.

After catching their breath, eating some more strawberries and another glass of champagne, they went at it again.  This time stimulating each other orally at the same time.  It was so exciting to please and be pleased at the same time.

The night continued like this until very, very late.  All in all the night was more than they ever expected.

It was well worth the wait!
