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

CHAPTER FIVE

Echoes Of The Future

The previous morning Pinkie, Bubbles, Rainbow and Twilight brunched with the newlyweds.  The arousal due to the talk of the previous night’s activities especially with Luna and her escapades had precipitated an unplanned overnight get-together by the four friends/lovers bound by love and their transcendence of life and death in that they experienced during their effort to save Pinkie in the underworld.  It was taking less and less for them to find an excuse for the four to share their love.  It was also getting hard to keep it under wraps.

The group was warm and snug in Rainbow and Pinkie’s oversized cloud bed.  All were in blissful sleep.  All but Twilight, she was waking up for no apparent reason.

It was early as Twilight stirred, she could sense that it was well after midnight.  She could feel the ponies in bed with her, but she was most aware of the especially strong forelegs holding her.  The muscular chest she was up against.  Also present and keeping her extra warm was the wing that was draped over her.  She could smell the arousing sent of mare without perfume or cologne, and the warmth of the feminine but incredibly strong body.

She had never felt so safe and protected as this since the last time she was a filly and her daddy held her to protect her from what ever boogie-pony was hiding under her bed.

She knew she was being held by the private Rainbow Dash that only three ponies knew.  She was the strong and self-assured pony that every other pony knew, but she was also incredibly tender, gentle and loving, a face that was hidden from the rest of the world.  Pinkie even admitted that this side of Rainbow Dash had only come out after their journey into the underworld.

It was indeed Twilight that had wrought this transformation, so Twilight felt that made this side of Rainbow, ‘Her Rainbow Dash’.  She had to be careful with thinking that way.  It was a relationship that they all were bound equally to each other, to become overly possessive would turn it into something less wholesome and fulfilling.  After all, she was shared with Pinkie and Bubbles as well.

During the incident in the underworld, there were revelations of feelings which were brought out to and had to be dealt with.  They became in touch with feelings from the future, due to time they has spent in the underworld to save Pinkie, this was truly a situation of genuine love. Princess Luna had explained that this relationship was not some perverted orgy.  She had explained that it was as if the four of them were now married.

And the four delight in this.

Bubbles and Pinkie understood this especially about Rainbow and Twilight.  And they had found that by having these occasional nights together, there were no possibilities of their wives feeling forced to hide their feelings, or to have an illicit relationship, or suffer because they were not able to express themselves.

And to tell the truth, Bubbles and Pinkie enjoyed it as well.

Now about twice a month they would meet for a nice dinner, either at one of their homes or at a restaurant.  And then they would go to the Dash’s cloud home for the night.  But like tonight, there were special circumstances that would precipitate an unplanned get together.  Rainbow was always able to get Scootaloo to go spend the night with one of her friends.  They suspected that Scoot knew what was going on, but she had the good taste and respect not to say anything.

Rainbow felt Twilight stirring, she so much loved holding Twilight on these nights.  There was just something so special about the purple unicorn.  It was not that she did not like holding Pinkie or even Bubbles.  But there was an honest innocence that Twilight had retained through everything she had been through.

This did not decrease the pleasure when holding Bubbles or Pinkie.  Each pony was different and Rainbow did appreciated the differences.

“Is there something wrong, lover-pony?” asked Rainbow, giving Twilight a little kiss.  For some reason, Rainbow did not feel sappy at all with pet names for Twilight.  Perhaps it was because Twilight was so much more ‘girly’ than her other companions, both Pinkie and Bubbles were mature mares, even with Pinkie’s sense of humor.  Twilight was mature but she reminded Rainbow of an insecure filly in an awesome mare’s body.  She was an extremely powerful mare but she hid the awesome magic power that she commanded with humility, modesty and most of all, love.

“I would have thought that I had worn you out tonight, Luna knows I sure tried.”

“I don’t know,” said Twilight, she snuggled up a little closer to Rainbow.  “Just an uneasy feeling.”

“I know how to fix your uneasy feelings,” said Rainbow.

Rainbow kissed Twilight the kind of kisses that Rainbow wished she that could give her all the time and not just at these get-togethers.  Twilight wished the same and returned the kisses in kind, Twilight pulled Rainbow so close it felt that she was trying to share the same space with her.

Rainbow’s soul burned for Twilight, even though she was still deeply in love with Pinkie, and knew that Twilight loved Bubbles as much.

Making love to Twilight was so different than making love to Pinkie or Bubbles.  Pinkie was wild, fun loving and even silly, but in a pleasing way.  Bubbles was passionate and had a large repertoire of how to please, a true artist at love making.  But Twilight was intense, precise and willing to give and give and give without thought of anything in return.  It was not that Twilight did not want anything from her, in fact she craved Rainbow as much or more than Rainbow craved her.  But the way that she ‘received’ made Rainbow want to perform even better.

Another thing that aroused Rainbow was that she, Pinkie and Bubbles had had sex with stallions previously.  But the knowledge that Twilight had never been with a stallion, and had only been with Bubbles, Pinkie and herself, excited Rainbow even more.  Even when offered to use toys that duplicated the experience of a stallion’s ‘thing’, Twilight flatly refused on the grounds that despite not being a mare-lover, she loved three mares and that was satisfying enough.  It was all the sex she knew and it was all the sex she ever wanted.  Plus with the shared memories that she was given at Dawn’s birth, she could remember the feeling of sex with a stallion, through Bubbles, and she was not impressed.  This fact made the three mares that loved Twilight perform even more to make sure that Twilight was never tempted to do anything else.

It was kind of a silly notion, but to Rainbow, it made Twilight feel somehow ‘pure’.

It was so crazy for Rainbow.  There was a time not too long ago when Rainbow would not admit to loving anypony.  Then came the accident that Pinkie was almost killed.  She had her feelings forced to the surface.  Love became more important than appearing cool.

Then the events of the underworld where she and Twilight traveled to save Pinkie from Shooting Star taking over her body.  He had caused Rainbow and Twilight to experience feelings that they would not have until the future, after Pinkie and Bubbles were gone.  Shooting Star had facilitated this to distract them, but it backfired.  Being that he was not the true Shooting Star, he had forgotten about what love could do.  The feelings of genuine love, linked with the release of repressed desire for each other made them stronger, they were willing to sacrifice themselves for ponies they loved.  Now loving Twilight and Bubbles was as important as loving Pinkie.

And she had to admit to herself that Twilight was quite the kisser and an even better lover.

They broke the kiss, Twilight held Rainbow tightly, Rainbow felt tears on her coat.  Then Twilight let go of her and then Twilight got out of the bed and rushed out of the room.  As it happened, both Bubbles and Pinkie were cuddled together, it appeared that they had not been disturbed by their kiss or Twilight getting out of bed.

Rainbow got carefully out of bed, doing her best not to disturb the sleeping ponies.  She went to the living area and there was Twilight sitting on a sofa, it appeared that she was crying.  Rainbow sat beside her and took her hoof.

“Twi, my love, what’s wrong?” asked Rainbow in a voice so tender it almost was out of character with the brash pegasus.

Twilight looked at Rainbow.  There were indeed tears flowing down her cheeks.

“Hold me Rainbow.” Said Twilight.

Rainbow took her forelegs and put them around Twilight and pulled her close.

“No Rainbow,” said Twilight, there was something urgent in her eyes, “please hold me.”

Rainbow realized what it was that she was asking.  Rainbow understood because of Twilight being married to a pegasus.  Rainbow, without letting go, put her wings around Twilight as well.

“I love you so much Rainbow,” said Twilight, kissing the blue pegasus deeply, “I probably have since we first met, I just never let myself feel it.  But you know this, since our revelation, it is so hard to go through the days as if this does not exist.  I know that if we were public with this it would be harder for ponies to accept that with us being married to mares.

I also love Pinkie.  And I am still insanely in love with Bubbles.  And to be honest, if something happened to this arrangement and Bubbles said that we could not be together until she was gone, I would do as she asked, but know that my soul would suffer every day we could not be together.  At night I still remember the feelings I had when we went after Pinkie.  I can feel the feelings of the time to come.  The intense way we will love each other then.

But then I think about the reason why we will be together.  Bubbles and Pinkie will be gone.  And the thought of Pinkie and Bubbles being gone and the thought that one day you will be gone as well just kills me!  I never truly let myself love any pony until Bubbles came to me.  And just like when I learned about friendship, now I can’t live without the love I get and give to the ponies that are so close to my heart.  I think I will go crazy trying to figure this out.  I love all of you so, so much!”

Twilight started to sob hard.

“Twi, honey,” said Rainbow holding Twilight tighter, her own heart starting to break. “I feel the same as you do, and I would respect Pink’s wishes if she said we could not be together, but I doubt that she ever would.  And as far as the future, I try not to think about it.  If it is to come, there is nothing we can do about it.

You are feeling this way because of Fluttershy, aren’t you?”

The naming of their gone friend caused Twilight to cry harder.

“What wrong with Twilight?” asked Bubbles coming into the room.

Bubbles sat on the other side of twilight and put her wings around Twilight as well.

“She has been thinking about the future.  About how you and Pink will be gone.” Said Rainbow,  there were tears starting to form in her eyes.  “The passing of Fluttershy has hit her hard and made her think about losing you two.”

“I know it is stupid of me to say, but I don’t want anything to ever happen to any of you!” said Twilight crying hard.

“Twi,” said Pinkie coming in the room, “You can’t hope nothing ever happens to us.  If it did, then nothing would happen to us.  Do you know how boring that would be?”

Twilight looked up at Pinkie, trying to understand if that actually made sense.  But it did make her stop crying.

“Twilight,” said Bubbles, “we all love you just as much, even Ms. I Got To Be Cool About All This.”

“Hey!” said Rainbow, “I love Twilight, and I am not ashamed to say so.  I love Pinkie and you as well, Ms. I Had A Foal By Twilight And You Haven’t!”

Both Bubbles and Rainbow gave each other a quick kiss and laughed despite the situation.

“And instead of worrying about what is to come,” said Bubbles giving Twilight a kiss as well, “enjoy the time we have together now.  After all, we will all have to go sometime.”

Twilight started to stand, the two pegasi retracted their wings and let Twilight get up.  She walked off just a little, looking at the floor.

There was an uneasy silence from Twilight,  the others could feel it.

“Not all of us,” said Twilight quietly.

“What do you mean?” asked Pinkie.

Twilight turned back to her lovers, she was looking strange and swallowed hard.

“This cannot go beyond the four of us, and I am really not supposed to talk about this to even you.  But unless there is an unfortunate accident.....

I am not going to grow old and die.”

Twilight’s three companions all looked shocked.

“Are you saying you are immortal?” asked Bubbles.

“No,” said Twilight….

“Not yet.”

“Not yet?” asked Rainbow, Bubbles and Pinkie at the same time.

“Being Celestia’s apprentice is not just a title for a professional student.  I will take her place one day.  I will be as immortal as she.

I am only now starting to understand what I will have to give up because of this.  I will lose everypony I love,  every family member, every friend, all ponies that are important to me.

Except Dawn, she is Luna’s apprentice.”

“You will rule all Equestria?  That is so cool!  I have sex with the future ruler of Equestria!” said Pinkie, “do I get a tax break for that?”

The other three ponies just looked at Pinkie.  In spite of the situation, they all laughed.

“Our baby, will be immortal too?” said Bubbles sounding almost hopeful.

“No,” said Twilight, “her being an alicorn, means that she already is.”

The group sat around thinking about what Twilight had revealed.

“I have been afraid that my friends and even you my darling, would treat me different if it got out.  But with what happened with Pinkie, and with Fluttershy’s passing, it has been put right in my face.”  Said Twilight, “this relationship we now have is something so very special to me.  It is more than I ever dreamed of, so much love given and received.  And it isn’t just the sex, although the sex is fantastic, it is about my being with and loving deeply ponies that mean everything to me.

Not that Applejack and Rarity aren’t important, they are.  But we share something that has transcended life and death.

And now the only hope for me is to believe that there is something beyond that portal in the underworld other than limbo.  To live an immortal life without the possibility of love is no life at all.”

Rainbow, Bubbles and Pinkie all hugged Twilight.

“We are not gone yet, and you have yet to show Pinkie or especially me, Unicorn Horn Sex!” said Rainbow with a smile.

“Hey that’s mine!” said Bubbles in a whiny voice.

“Sorry babe,” said Rainbow with a wicked grin.  “I have seen how freaky you have been getting with Pink and I have not said one word.  So you just have to quit being so stingy, Twilight is all of ours now.”

“Do I have a say in this?” asked Twilight, actually starting to feel better.

“And what makes you think I will share?” asked Bubbles with a large smile, ignoring Twilight’s comments.

Rainbow looked at Pinkie and Twilight and smiled.  Then Rainbow grabbed Bubbles, kissed her intensely and lay her back on the soft floor.

“If you think that having awesome sex with me will change my mind,” said Bubbles, but at that moment, Rainbow plunged her tongue deep into Bubbles marehood, “then you are probably right!”

Bubbles started to moan, she held Rainbow’s head right at the right place.  Rainbow was working it good.

Pinkie took Twilight’s hoof.  And starting to walk her back to the bedroom.

“Come on Twi,” said Pinkie with a smile. “let Pinkie put a smile back on your face.  I bet I can kiss your bellybutton………

from the inside!”
