Liquid Pride

For the next several weeks after the Grand Galloping Gala, Shining Armor did not sleep very much. He did his best to deal with his issues the best way he knew how to, by ignoring them. Or, more actively, by focusing more and more on his work. After each tiring day, he sought a hard day’s night of sweet slumber. And each morning, his much needed rest eluded him.

He took on extra duties, working extra shifts. If he was going to be awake all night, he could at least get paid for it. All night, every night, he would sweep the entire castle and its grounds. It was his duty as a night guard to patrol the area. But he was more than searching for castle trespassers at night. He was searching for the Moon Regent herself.

For a pony nearly twice his size who was ‘unofficially’ restricted to the castle grounds, she was incredibly illusive. Further indirect inquiry confirmed that the Princess of the Night generally kept very low visibility, and was seldom in her quarters at night.

Official channels of scheduling an audience with Princess Luna hadn't yet been established either. The only route was to request it directly through her sister, Princess Celestia. And Celestia did not grant visits to her sister without very good reason. She was a bit over-protective in that way.

“Princess Celestia, I need to request an audience with your sister, Luna, to confront her about seducing me while taking advantage of my incestuous desires by being disguised as my sister, Twilight.” Shining said quietly to himself, while walking the grounds of the castle garden. “Yeah, that’d go over great.”

He looked up at the moon in the cloudless sky. He could have sworn he saw something moving across it. He looked again, rubbing his tired eyes with his hoof.

“I must be seeing things again.” He muttered as he continued on his route, still keeping one eye on the sky. Inside, he decided to mix up his routine. He headed up the stairs to the second tower, intentionally trying to not count them again. “It doesn't get any less each time you count them…”

Foregoing serious protocol, he pushed open the door to Princess Luna's bedroom with neither knock nor request. He walked into her empty room. It had changed little since she had returned. She was a bit old fashioned after all.

The large window hung slightly ajar. The sheer fabric of curtains rustled and billowed in the cool breeze, allowing the crisp moonlight to illuminate the dwelling. He felt a sharp chill run up his spine. He wasn't one to buy into extra sensory perception or a sixth sense of any kind. But his time in the guard had taught him to trust his survival instincts.

“Princess?” He whispered to the room. He was answered only with silence. “Luna, I know you’re in here.” He said again, with more resolve. “We need to talk. You and I have unfinished business.”

Darkness, and nothing more.

“SHOW YOURSELF!” He fumed, waiting for a response. He couldn't be sure if he had broken out in a cold sweat, or if the room had, in fact, actually dropped several degrees. Shining held fast and stifled a shiver. After a moment he regained his composure.

“Heh, look at me, barking at the wind, like some raving lunatic.” He chuckled to himself, turning to leave the room. Her door slammed shut in front of him, sealing him in the room. A gust of wind blew the windows wide open, before they too slammed shut as well, with a force that should well have shattered the glass from them, yet didn't.

The sudden loud noises and wind halted as quickly as they began, leaving him only in silence but for the sound of breathing. His ears strained to find the source, only for him to realize it was his own terrified hyperventilating. He willed himself to get his breathing under control.

But he could still hear breathing. It was definitely not his own this time. The drapes had fallen still, shrouding the room in moonless darkness. He peered into the pitch shadow.

Luna’s bed was no longer vacant. He looked right at her. She said nothing, her breathing steady. He took a step closer, if only to see if she reacted. Nothing. His eyes continued to adjust to the dark. She wasn't on the bed, she was in bed. She was asleep?

She looked so peaceful, so serene. He moved closer, standing beside her bed. Her hair lacked its ethereal flowing, laying limp on the duvet behind her. He wanted so much to wake her, and tell her all the angry things he had wanted to say, and to interrogate her for her reasoning for her behavior that night at the Gala.

But standing there now, looking at her, he felt his anger melt away. Truly, she had an unnatural beauty that he just could not stay mad at. Or maybe it was that he was just too nice of a stallion. But he would not let this opportunity to speak with her slip by. He leaned in to wake her as gently as he knew how, as Cadence had taught him, and his mother before her.

A chaste kiss on the cheek, to wake a sleeping beauty.

Shining felt a mighty force slam into his chest, sending him reeling through the air, before pinning him to the vaulted ceiling. The stars and crescent moons decorating the wall came aglow brightly with an eerie green, lighting up the room. A mighty voice boomed beneath him.

“Senno ecto gammat!” Luna was on her hooves, her eyes glowed an iridescent white. Shining felt the force pressing him harder against the ceiling gradually increasing, crushing his rib cage, squeezing the air from his lungs.

“Yeah, that was a bad idea.” Shining barely gasped.

Luna’s eyes calmed, the white cooled to their usual teal. The decorations of the room faded. Her bedside lamp turned on as Shining felt the pressure on his frail body release, lowering him from the ceiling. He was still held suspended, upside down a few feet off the ground as he gulped precious oxygen.

“Captain?” Luna asked of the figure in her magical grasp.

*gasp* "Ma’am." Shining wheezed.

“Hast thou forgotten the procedures for requesting entrance to the chambers of thine Princess?”

“No ma’am.”

“Then why hast thou disturbed us?” Luna demanded.

“I-" *cough* "I need to talk to you.” Shining said.

“There are means by which to request such an audience.” She said.

“I didn't feel that I should have to go through your sister to speak with you. Do you think you should have to go through her for everything?” He gambled. He hoped that he was right about her disliking playing second fiddle to her big sister as much as he suspected. Luna did not react right away. But something, something in her eyes maybe, told him he had struck a nerve. She lowered him to the ground on his hooves.

“What hast thou cometh to speak with us about?” Luna asked at last.

“Oh, I think you know.” Shining accused, feeling emboldened. Luna kept up her poker face, giving no tell to the claim. “That night, at the Gala? I know it was you disguised as my Sister!” Luna winced at the S word. It was evidence enough for him. He waited for a response. “Well? Have nothing to say? No reason to give?”

“We- we did not know that she was thine kin.” Luna answered meekly, looking to the floor like a little filly that was just caught with her hoof in the cookie jar. “When we first met thee, we were quite taken to thine charm. It is with no ego that we admit we were rather infatuated with thee. We sought thine attention when thou denied us upon this very bed before.”

“But you said you wouldn't do that again!” He said.

“Nay, fair Captain. We did apologize, as we could not control ourselves. As t'was the case the eve of the Gala. Our desire for thou was greater than our reason. Until- until we discovered thine affection's relation.” She said. Now it was Shining’s turn to hang his head. He pulled up an arm chair from her vanity, before plopping in, putting his face in his hooves.

“We could not face thee again after forcing that upon thou. Not even to apologize again, though thou surely deserves it.” Shining just sat there looking over at her, unsure what to say. “We- we are sorry, again, truly.” It didn't make him feel much better and she knew it.

“But- if it might make thee feel any better, know that thou are not the first pony to have ever... lusted after thy own sister.” Luna said in a hushed tone. Shining caught the tiniest glimmer of a tear in her eye. He rubbed his own with his hoof.

“Thou appears tired.” She said, changing the subject.

“I- haven’t been sleeping much these days.” He said.

“Wouldst thou like us to help with thine affliction?”

“Help me sleep?” He asked. She nodded. “Yeah, sure, that’d be grand.” He said. She smiled a little. He lifted himself from her chair, about to leave.

“Captain?” Luna called out. He turned back to look at her. “Wouldst thou wish to join us in bed one last time before thou departs?” She rolled onto her belly, flagging him seductively with her tail. Shining turned on his heel, walking back over to the side of her bed.

“You are beautiful, Princess, as you are divine." He whispered, climbing on top of her, his face inches from hers. She closed her eyes and moaned in anticipation, her body tense and on edge, waiting for his touch.

None came. She felt his weight leave the bed.

“Goodnight, Princess.” He bid her, before leaving her room, closing the door behind him.

“Goodnight, fair Captain.” She whimpered to the empty air.

The next morning Shining Armor woke up feeling… better, good even! It was the first time in a long time. It was Saturday, and he didn't have weekend duty this week. He was going to make the best of it. He got up and got himself cleaned up before heading out.

He went for a walk to go see what Cadence was doing. Whenever things in his life were going crazy, she was always his rock in the storm, that one solid thing he could hold onto whenever it felt like everything else was falling apart around him.

The walk wasn't particularly lengthy, but it gave him plenty of time to think. Time to think about all that had happened to him recently. True, Luna had deceived him. Fool me once, shame on you. But fool me twice, shame on me. Shining resolved then and there that he would not be fooled by the night Princess again.

All in all though, things weren't that bad. Despite his dark secret being known to another, Luna knew better than most the value of discretion. He could appreciate that. He could also empathize with her. He couldn't even begin to imagine going a thousand years without any pony contact whatsoever. It would drive anypony to act on pure, desperate desire. Still, he just didn't like being manipulated like that.

Still, Celestia didn't know, Cadence didn't know, and thank the stars above, Twilight didn't know. And as long as Luna kept their 'activities' to herself, Cadence needn't know about that either. Shining certainly had no desire to pursue a relationship with Luna. And it would stop there. He and Cadence could go on about their happily ever after. Twilight would have her own life. Shining's desire for her would pass with time, distance, and a great deal of willpower.

Shining felt a weight lifting from his shoulders. All the burdens of his worries melted away with each step he took. He felt like he was in control of his life once more. A master of his destiny. A victim of circumstance no longer, he had set out a plan for himself, and he would see it through. His smile grew as his pace shifted into an upbeat trot. Today was going to be a good day.

He arrived at her door even sooner than he realized. He brought a hoof to the polished oak finish to rap a knock. But, just an instant before he made contact, the door pulled open before him. His would-be knock almost became a punch to the face for Cadence. He caught himself at the last second.

"Cadence!"

"Shiny!" They quickly embraced each other. "I was just about to come see you!" She said. "I know you haven't been feeling well lately and I wanted to come by and check in on you."

"Well you know, I'm actually feeling a lot better today." He said. "I got a great night's sleep last night, and I just feel... good! So I came to see what you were doing." They each smiled, hugging again. Today was going to be a good day.

"Let's see," Cadence started, with a hoof to her chin, "I was going to head over to your place and round you up and take you out to my favorite place of peace."

"Place of peace?" Shining asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, you know, that one place you can go to, and it just... I don't know, it's like all your problems just go away for a little while, and you can find your peace..." She said, trailing off. "Don't you have a place like that you can think of?"

"Sure, your bed!" he said with a devilish grin. She gave him a playful slap.

"No I mean it. Surely there must be someplace you can go to just, you know, get away from it all?" she asked. He thought about it a bit harder.

"It's not really a place. But like today, while I was walking over here, I just- started feeling better. Like each step I took, I could feel my problems being left behind, and I was just... walking, free." He said. She smiled.

"Well then, I think you'll like what I have in mind for us today."
_______________________________________________

Shining tried his best to orientate himself. Judging from the sun, they were heading east, which he was pretty sure was wrong.

"Cadie, I think we took a wrong turn." He said. She just giggled beside him. "We're just going to get more lost if we don't try to work out some kind a system."

"Oh, Shiny, that's the point! Why do you think I wanted us to walk the Palace Labyrinth?" She said, trotting merrily on, carefree. "Stop worrying about the future so much. You'll get to your destination eventually. Just focus on the here and now. Here you and I are, enjoying a wonderful day together. Just appreciate the little things for what they are."

Shining pondered her words as his gaze followed her down the path between the high hedges of the maze. He realized she was right. And besides, he didn't have anywhere he needed to be today. He should just relax and enjoy the moment. He caught up to her, surprising her with a kiss. She stopped in her tracks.

"Hmm, what brought this on?" She asked, kissing him back.

"Oh, just you." He said, kissing her again, more passionately this time. She laid down on the soft grass, pulling him on top of her. He ran his hoof though her soft mane as they continued to make out in the labyrinth. She felt him grow hard between them.

"Ooh, Shiny! Right here?" She asked in a hushed tone. She felt him beginning to grind his shaft against her rapidly moistening folds.

"Hmm, I like to live dangerously." He said in a sultry tone. "Besides, we're the only ones out here." He said as he started nibbling on her ear. He knew that was her weakness. She loved it.

"MMmm," Cadence began to buck her hips back against his now-slick member sliding along her slit. "Okay, but can you make it fast? I just don't want to get caught." She said. Shining nodded, happy to oblige her request for a quickie. She flipped over, laying her face down in the grass, her flank raised high in the air, her tail flagged, exposing herself completely to him. He didn't waste any time mounting her. He brought his throbbing head to her wet entrance, missing his mark a couple times in his haste, causing her to gasp as he rubbed against her swollen clitoris. He aimed it once more, ready to sink home.

"I want to start our field trip here, in the world famous Canterlot Sculpture Garden."

Shining froze at hearing the voice from just on the other side of the hedge wall. He and Cadence must have been closer to the edge of the maze than he thought.

"That one over there represents Friendship." He heard Cheerilee continue. Dammit, today was the Ponyville school field trip to the Canterlot Palace! How could he have forgotten? He quickly dismounted Cadence who looked similarly surprised and disappointed.

"All right my little ponies. This one represents Victory." Cheerilee narrated, leading the tour. Thankfully, they were moving further away. He could still hear some of the school fillies bickering something about a dictionary. Any hope of him keeping his erection quickly faded.

"I suppose we should just get out of here." He said to Cadence. She frowned a little and just nodded in agreement. The pair followed the sound of the field trip to, what must surely be, the maze exit.

"Now this is a really interesting statue. What do you notice about it?" Cheerilee asked her class.

"It's got an eagle claw."
"And a lion paw."
"And a snake tail."

"This creature is called a Draconequus." Cheerilee explained. "He has the head of a pony and a body made up of all sorts of things. What do you suppose that represents?"

"Confusion."
"Evil."
"Chaos."
"It's not chaos you dodo!"
"Don't call me things I don't know the meaning of! And it is too chaos!"
"Is not!"
"You're both wrong!"

"Actually, in a way, you're all right." Cheerilee cut in, trying to break up the argument while staying positive. "This statue represents discord, which means a lack of harmony between ponies. In fact, you three have demonstrated discord so well that you're each going to write me an essay explaining it." The rest of the class giggled at the trio's misfortune. "Now let's go. And I don't want any more fighting."

Shining peeked out of the maze exit from around the corner of the hedge wall. The class had moved on, out of sight, into the west castle courtyard. The coast was clear for them to make good their escape. They started to make their way through the sculpture garden.

"Muh ha ha ha."

Shining swore he had heard a murmur of a sinister laugh. He looked over at Cadence. She too had frozen in her tracks. Both of their heads where on a swivel, looking around them to find the source. Bits of stone fell from the cracks in the Draconequus statue. Shining moved closer to inspect it. Had one of the fillies damaged it in their fight?

Suddenly, brilliant white light burst from the seems in the stone as the rest of the statue crumbled and fell in pieces on the ground. It was instead replaced with the imposing figure the statue once represented.

"EEYEAH! OH! OOH! Well it's about time some pony got me out of that prison block. What a relief!" The Draconequus said, before snapping his fingers. In a flash, his magic struck Shining and Cadence.

"What do you think you're doing?" Shining demanded. He was suddenly silenced as he noticed the sudden change in his voice's pitch. It was much too high and... feminine?

"Why, stretching of course." Discord said. "When you're a creature of chaos, stone body suits aren't your typical go-to fashion choice."

Shining looked over at Cadence. She looked much more stocky and muscular, with a rugged jawline. And most definitely- male. Her horrified expression mirrored his own.

"Hah ha ha! You should see the look on your faces! Priceless!" Discord was nearly in tears, clutching his sides. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to wreak!" He snapped his fingers, vanishing in a flash. The sky filled with pink clouds as it started to rain.

"Cadence, what's going on with this rain? I mean, chocolate milk. I mean, chocolate milk rain?" He asked her in his new mare voice.

"We need to tell Celestia right away!" She gasped, covering her mouth with her hooves. She hadn't expected her own voice to have become so baritone. They each exchanged nervous glances. Neither wanted anypony else to see them like this. But if anypony would know how to fix this, it would be Princess Celestia. They sprinted for the castle.
______________________________________________________________________

Rivulets of chocolate milk began to stream down the sides of the castle walls as they made their way inside. They tried to pass into the restricted area.

"Halt."
"Who goes there?"

It was the twin Pegasus guards, Sword Wing and Shield Wing. They crossed their wings, obstructing their progress.

"Sword, Shield, let us pass!" Shining commanded. They didn't budge. His girly voice hardly commanded them anyway. "It's me and the Princess!" He said, motioning to the pink stallion behind him. "It's me! Shining Armor! Look at my cutie mark!" He said, turning to the side. They eyed his supple, feminine, mare flank. Sure enough it was the cutie mark of the Captain of the Royal Guard.

"Captain Armor?" Sword asked.
"What happened to you?" Shield followed up.

"It's a long story! A powerful, magical creature is somewhere on the castle grounds causing chaos! We need to tell Princess Celestia right away!" He said. The guards moved aside, letting them pass. They each turned and watched the Captain run toward the Princess's throne room. They returned to their post.

Neither of the stallions could get their wings to go down.
___________________________________________________

The pair burst into Celestia's Day Court.

"Princess!"
"Auntie Tia!"

"Oh no." Celestia groaned. "Cadence, have you been trying to make potions again? Testing them out on the hapless Captain?"

"No auntie."

"Your Highness, we just came from the sculpture garden. The Draconequus statue broke and released a creature. He... did this to us. And then it started raining chocolate milk! We came as fast as we could!"

"Discord!" Celestia growled. "I need Twilight and her friends here right away. Only the Elements of Harmony will be able to stop him." She brought up a fresh parchment, hastily scrawling a message to Twilight. Exposition would have to wait until she got here. All that mattered was that she got the message as soon as possible, and hurried to Canterlot before Discord could gain any further strength.

My dearest Twilight,

I need to see you and your friends in Canterlot immediately!

- Princess Celestia

She sent the letter out the window in a green smoke.

"Princess, is there nothing we can do?" Shining asked.

"I'm afraid not. Discord's power is beyond anything the Royal Guards could handle. And now that Princess Luna and I are no longer connected to the Elements, even we are powerless to stop him. The fate of Equestria is in your sister's, and her friends', hooves." Shining felt his stomach do a flip. The concept of 'Celestia' and 'Powerless' in the same sentence made him feel queasy.

"Auntie, could you at least fix... this?" Cadence asked, motioning to Shining and herself.

Celestia's horn came aglow, as her warm spell washed over the gender-bent pair. Afterward the spell faded, the two ponies looked at each other. To their dismay, they remained sexually swapped.

"This is worse than I realized." Celestia fretted. "My magic is already faltering. Hopefully Twilight will get here soon and stop him. Luckily, the Elements are in a chamber protected by a powerful spell that only I can break. They will be safe from him until they arrive." She looked at the pair before her. "As for you two, just lay low until all this is over. Once Discord is defeated, harmony will be restored and his magic will be undone."

"Lay low?" Cadence asked.

"Cadence, you can stay in my personal chamber until this is resolved." Celestia instructed. "Captain Armor, you may stay in the guest bedroom for now. I'll brief the commander of the situation and that you are... indisposed. I'm sure you don't want your subordinates seeing you like this." Shining blushed. "I can't imagine how embarrassing this must be for both of you. I'll see to it that neither of you are disturbed." She said. Each pony turned and went to their respective, temporary lodging.
__________________________________________________________________

Shining arrived in the guest room. It was less a guest room than a full honeymoon suite. It shared the same hallway as Celestia's Royal Quarters, and was generally reserved for diplomats, foreign dignitaries and other guests of honor. It was at least as large at the entire first floor of his home.

It came complete with a full kitchen, a master bathroom and bed room with a plush king size bed. The bath was a massive hot tub with massaging bubble and water jets. The high ceilings had beautifully sculpted crown molding, and the walls were all adorned with ancient pre-classical tapestries. He settled onto the bedspread, sinking into the soft pillow top.

He laid on the bed, absent-mindedly staring out the window at the chocolate milk rain gently pelting against the glass. After a few moments, the rain gave way to bright sunshine again. Maybe thing wouldn't be so bad after all. Things were already looking up. He was still a mare, but Celestia said she would be able to fix that once all this was over and her magic was working again. He decided he might as well make the best of the luxurious bed while he could. He pulled the covers back and laid his head onto the pillow. He was fast asleep in mere moments. However, his dreams did not bring him the peace he desired.

"Hmm mmm ha ha. Oh Shining Armor… Captain of the Royal Guard. Oh captain my captain!
Your destiny will cause quite enough chaos on its own. Hmm hmm hmm."

He awoke in the comfortable bed. He moved to look out the window more closely. Across the way, he could see the Canterlot Sculpture Garden, and the Palace Labyrinth beyond that. Suddenly, there seemed to be some kind of commotion coming from the maze. All of the hedges vanished into the ground in a cloud of dust, leaving a big brown crater where the maze once stood. The skies filled with pink clouds once more and the chocolate milk rain resumed.

Maybe this wouldn't be over as soon as he hoped.

Any further sleep eluded him. He instead decided to explore the room’s amenities. He walked past the full length mirror by the bedroom vanity. His quick self-inspection earlier outside only told him enough that he needed to panic. But now that he had more time, he looked over his new form more closely.

His feminine features were quite striking now that he had the time to appreciate them. His curves were shapely and attractive. His mane and tail were long, silky smooth and voluminous. He looked to the locked door of the room again. He was suddenly a bit self-conscious. He turned his rump to the mirror and flagged his tail. He looked back over his shoulder. Indeed, his new mare body came complete with all the feminine features and… equipment.

For a while he just stood there and stared at it, his marehood. It wasn't like he had never seen one before. But this was still a very different, very new experience. He had never had one attached to him before.

He shifted his hips from side to side, adjusting his stance, watching as his muscles moved beneath his fur. He experimented a bit, flexing new muscles he had never had before. He found it ‘winking’ at himself in the mirror. He sat on the edge of the bed, facing the mirror, looking down at himself.

He rubbed it a bit with his hoof, touching various parts and feeling the differences. He felt himself positively radiating warmth. His pussy lips were soft and pliable. He rubbed and spread them apart. He found that rubbing his little nub at the top of his slit was particularly pleasing.

The wetness of his nethers began to soak into the fur on his hoof. The smell of his sex filled the room. But he couldn't resist a closer inspection. He brought his sticky hoof to his nose, taking a deep whiff of his feminine aroma. It was positively intoxicating. He enjoyed Cadence’s flavor very much. It was an incredible turn on when she asked to taste herself on… whatever part of him she was on at the time.

Still, he felt a bit strange looking at his own hoof with his own juices on it. He had certainly never ventured to sample himself as a male. But even still… He scrunched his eyes and stuck out his tongue, tapping the tip of his hoof briefly. It wasn't revolting. It was quite pleasant in fact! He tried again with more confidence, taking a bigger lap of his hoof. His nectar was very appealing, spurring his arousal further.

He began to rub himself more vigorously. Up and down, in tight circles, faster, then slower. He started to instinctively buck against his hoof.

Shining had enjoyed watching Cadence pleasure herself. He tried his best to mimic her movements as best as he could remember. In the end, a lot of it just came down to experimenting with what just felt good. He felt the heat and tingling electricity spreading out from his nethers throughout his abdomen and his whole body.

He felt the tension and pressure slowly building, like a knot in his belly being pulled tighter and tighter. He slowed down his pace a bit before he got too sensitive. He tossed and turned in the bed, rolling onto his belly, his hoof trapped beneath him, between his legs. His pinned hoof could only make small movements. It was more than made up for as his whole body rocked and bucked, grinding his crotch down onto it.

The frame of the bed began to squeak under the rhythmic humping of the masturbating mare. His juices were making a positively sloppy mess of his hoof and the covers. He felt the knot in his tummy getting bigger and bigger. And just when he thought he couldn't take any more…

“Ngh, uh uh AHHH!” Shining bit the pillow and screamed out a muffled moan of pleasure from his first maregasm. He jerked and bucked in spasms as his orgasm rolled and rolled like waves on a beach. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before. Before it was like a firework, an explosion of pleasure all at once.

But this, it came in waves, rolling through his pelvis again and again as he writhed on his side, with his hoof in a death grip between his thighs, completely immobilized. Any more friction on his crotch, and he felt like he was going to explode.

He finally managed to free his hoof from between his legs. He laid there on the bed, panting, struggling to catch his breath. Unlike before, when he was a male, he didn’t feel rocked by the urge to roll over and go to sleep. No, he felt his motor revved up. And he was just getting started. But now he needed something. He needed something IN him. His rational mind now long absent, he had but a sole mission. He needed a male. NOW!

And it just so happened, he knew right where to find one…

Shining peered out into the hallway, checking left and right. The hall was vacant. Clearly everypony was busy dealing with all the chaos outside in the city with Discord wreaking havoc. He quickly trotted down the hall to Celestia’s chambers. Out in the fresh air of the hall, he only became slightly aware of just how strong he smelled of musky sex.

He arrived at her door and reached out for the handle. For the second time that day, the door was pulled open before him. Shining was greeted with the sight of Cadence in the doorway, semen staining her broad stallion hooves. Her new stallion penis hanging long beneath her, growing harder again by the second.

“I could smell you coming.” She said in a deep stallion tone. Her nostrils flared with Shining standing before her, fully aroused and literally dripping with pheromones. “Get in here.”

She nearly tackled Shining and yanked him into the room, tossing him onto the bed. Shining felt something he had never felt before when making love with Cadence. Nervousness. Apprehension. Fear.

“Cadie,” Shining whimpered in a weak mare voice, “let’s- let’s take it slow okay? It’s-“ Shining realized how ludicrous the words were even before he said them, but they were the best, and most appropriate for the ludicrous situation. “It’s my first time.” He said.

The burning lust in Cadence’s eyes eased somewhat at the statement. Shining wondered if all stallions appeared so intimidating when they were horny. He made a note to be more aware of it once he was back to ‘normal’.

Cadence relaxed and slowed her motions. This helped Shining relax as well. “Sorry.” She said, “I just never realized how hard a stallion’s drive is when they’re horny. Everything in my head is screaming how much I need it. Like NEED it! I was just moments away from fucking a hole into the mattress before you got here.”

“Well, I’m here now and I do want to… do it. But it’s just that… well…” Shining trailed off, looking away.

“What is it?” Cadence asked.

“It’s- ...it’s bigger than mine.” He said. Cadence was confused for a moment, not yet realizing what it was he was talking about. Then it dawned on her as her massive member swung about beneath her. She blushed at the accidental compliment.

“Shining, after everything that’s happened today, THAT is the thing that’s bothering you?” She asked. He nodded, frowning. “Oh come on. Don’t feel bad. I’m taller than you as a mare, of course some things are just going to be… proportionate.” She offered. “I could only imagine the beast that Auntie Celestia would have if…”

“Ewww! Why are you thinking of your aunt like that! Gross!” Shining said, the image of Celestia wielding a massive stallion phallus seared into his mind. Cadence laughed at his reaction. Shining joined her, feeling better about the whole situation having made light of it.

“I promise I’ll be gentle.” She whispered. She pushed Shining onto his back with her strong hoof. She slid her head up along his thighs, inhaling his strong aroma. Shining just looked down as Cadence stuck out her long tongue, tracing a path up his inner leg. She tried her best to take it slow, but her male instincts rushed her to her goal.

She pressed her muzzle into his hot pussy, her warm breath washed over his nethers, stimulating him further. Her tongue lapped greedily into his wet slit, running along its length. She fucked his tight entrance with her tongue before sliding up to the apex of his sex, flicking and teasing his clit.

As a mare, or a former mare, she knew exactly how to please his new anatomy. He was already still worked up from his solo performance earlier. It didn't take her long to bring him back to his plateau of pleasure, and holding him there. She teased his clit, pushing his threshold ever higher, and then backing off just as she felt him tensing up. Indeed, she knew exactly what she was doing to him.

Every fiber in her male body was demanding that she just finish what she was doing and get to the rutting. But her willpower was strong. She was going to make this last and enjoy it. She continued lapping deep into Shining. She began humming with her nose pressed against his sensitive nub.

“Oh, oh ohhh CADENCE!” Shining cried out in a high voice.

She grabbed a hold of his legs and held her face firmly in his crotch as he exploded, gushing mare cum into her mouth. He bucked and jerked wildly on the bed, but she held on tightly, not letting him pull away.

She waited a few moments, letting him relax, making sure not to move, lest he be overstimulated. Her soaked face absolutely inundated her senses with his essence. She was rock hard for him. She climbed onto the bed, aiming it at his face. Shining loved Cadence, and his body desperately craved stallion cock. But deep down, he was still Shining Armor. His field of view was filled with penis, eagerly awaiting his mouth’s attention. He winced, turning his face away.

“Uh, Cadie, I don’t think I’m quite up for that part.” He said. She looked down at him, disappointed, but understanding. She climbed back down off the bed, letting Shining roll over onto his belly. He flagged his tail at her, indicating that he was at least ready for the final step.

She reared up on her hind legs, mounting him. He felt her large cock bob off of his flank, missing its mark and sliding along his back. She backed off a bit, trying to realign herself. She moved in again more slowly. He felt her press against his butt, and he tensed up. He tried to wiggle a bit until she slid southward into his slit.

She felt his wetness getting her head slick and pushed forward a bit, parting his lips. Shining took a deep breath as he felt himself spreading open onto her. She just managed to get a couple inches inside when she met resistance. She backed up a bit and slid forward again. A solid barrier. Cadence chuckled.

“What is it?” Shining asked.

“I think Discord made you a virgin.” She said with a laugh. Shining at first looked insulted, which gave way to unsure trepidation.

“So what now?” He asked.

“Oh I think you know.” She said with a devilish grin.

“Wait! Is it- is it gonna hurt?” He asked with all the genuine innocence of a filly on her first time. Cadence thought back to her first time and gave him the honest answer he deserved.

“Yes, it’ll hurt at first. But then it starts to feel REALLY good.” She said. Shining nodded, and closed his eyes, bracing himself. She pulled back a bit. “You ready?” she asked. He nodded. “Okay, I’ll try to make it quick. On five; One… Two…”

Cadence lurched forward, tearing through Shining’s virgin hymen. Shining cried out as he felt burning hot fire flare though his crotch in searing pain, paired with the sudden fullness of his tunnel being stretched around Cadence’s full girth embedded inside him. She remained still, letting him adjust to her size, her heavy balls resting against his clit.

“Owie, owie, owie.” Shining quietly whined beneath her.

“Oh come on you big baby. It’s not that bad. Even I didn't complain this much my first time.” She said, still trying to remain motionless. “Here, try this.” She reached under him and pushed one of his forehooves into his crotch. “Just rub the boo boo until it feels better.” She instructed. Shining began massaging his clit in his hoof. The pleasure began to wash away the pain. His whines turned to moans after a few short moments. “Okay, I’m gonna start again.” She said.

Cadence pulled back, letting her cock slide nearly completely out of Shining until only the head remained inside. Shining felt himself now longing for the fullness he just had. Cadence didn't make him wait long, pushing forward again, sinking to the hilt. She repeated the motion slowly a few more times.

Gradually she began to speed up her thrusts. Each time she bottomed out in him her balls would slap against his swollen clit. Cadence was absolutely in heaven feeling Shining’s tight pussy wrapped around her throbbing cock. She could understand now why stallions wanted to do this all the time. It felt fantastic.

Shining felt tremendous satisfaction in having his wanton pussy thoroughly plowed by his endowed girlfriend. Each thrust pushed him closer, every slap of her scrotum against his clit a spike in pleasure. He felt himself tensing, his legs getting weak. His third orgasm that day was a few humps away. Cadence felt him tensing up. Her own climax was imminent. She sped up to a blinding pace. Her hips were a blur as she fucked him with intense fervor.

“OH OAH AH AHHH!” Shining cried out and his most intense orgasm yet wracked his body, making his pussy clamp down on Cadence’s speeding piston. His juices splashed out onto her balls. Cadence fought back her orgasm as long as she could, but Shining’s pussy rippled and milked her cock, sending her reeling over the edge. She slammed home one final time and exploded inside him, painting his insides white with her seed.

“OH OH OH MY GOSH!” She said as her eyes rolled around in her head. She saw stars. Shining felt her cumming inside him, flooding his pussy with her cream. There was so much, she was pumping him full and he felt himself stretch around her. With each gush from her flared cock, she felt the pressure of cum inside him pushing her out. In a final, defiant, buck, she thrusted herself back inside, her cum gushing out of his pussy around her throbbing shaft.

A mix of their cum was splattered on their legs and crotches. As well as all over Celestia's bedspread. The room stank of hot sex. There was no hiding what had transpired within those walls. Cadence looked about them, surveying the damage. She immediately decided she didn't care and collapsed onto the bed beside Shining. Her limp cock slipped from his pussy with an audible ‘pop’, spilling the remaining contents onto the floor beside the bed.

"You know," Cadence said after a moment, "I think I'm reconsidering your suggestion for bringing a third into the bedroom."

"Really?" Shining asked, surprised.

"Oh yeah. I could definitely see the appeal in having another mare here right now." She said, still heavily influenced from her male libido. "So, who did you have in mind, Shiny?"

Don'tsayTwilight. Don'tsayTwilight. Don'tsayTwilight.

"Um, Luna?" Shining said nervously.

Her aunt? Yeah, that was a great choice. Totally not awkward at all.

Cadence put a hoof to her chin. "Hmm, that might be fun..."

Shining couldn't believe what he was hearing. Was she seriously open to the idea? Was he really going to bed two princesses? At the same time? Granted, he would be on the receiving end in this case, but, perhaps after they were changed back...

For now, the pair were both thoroughly exhausted from their post-coital bliss. Cadence curled up behind Shining, running her hoof through his soft mane. The sun vanished from the sky again, replaced with the moon. It was still chaos outside. But they each found some peace sleeping in each other's hooves.

Shining and Cadence were shaken awake as a wave of powerful magic swept across Equestria. The pair watched through the window as the pink clouds and chocolate milk were swept away. The Palace Labyrinth hedges were restored. The sun and moon stopped flip flopping in the sky. Shining and Cadence looked at each other. Everything was once again right with the world.

Well, almost everything.

“Why didn't we change back too?” Shining asked. Cadence thought for a moment, wondering the same thing herself. She put her hoof to the window to push it open. She felt the shimmer of magic in the window and walls.

“Ah ha! I know. It’s because we’re in Celestia's room.” She said.

“What does that have to do with anything?” He asked.

“Celestia's personal chambers are warded against even the most powerful magic. That must be why we weren't affected by the spell's correction.” She figured.

“I- guess that makes sense.” Shining agreed.

KNOCK KNOCK

They looked to the door, each afraid to say anything. The door opened. It was Princess Luna.

“Forgive thine intrusion Princess Cadence, but we- Oh, Captain Armor, we expected to find thee in the guest room. We have come to inform-“ Luna paused as the smell of sex hit her nostrils. Everything became abundantly clear in that moment. Shining in Celestia's room. The disheveled bed. The obvious stains. “...We- have come to inform thee that the foe, Discord, hath been vanquished. Our sister will be honoring the Elements forthwith. She is remiss that she will not be able to attend to thine afflictions until after and recommends thou remain sequestered rather than attend the ceremony in thine… current condition.” She looked at the embarrassed pair. “We came to see if there was anything thou required. Shall we send for a chambermaid to attend to the linen?”

Cadence replied sheepishly. “Thank you Aunt Luna. That would be most gracious.”

Luna turned to leave saying on her way out, “Afterwards, we would suggest thoust refrain from thine acts of carnal passion. We’re sure thou art aware of our sister's stance on premarital relations.” Luna smirked. “We shall return with the maid in, say… thirty minutes?” She winked before closing the door.

“Thirty minutes?” Shining asked.

“We've got time.” Cadence said, pouncing on top of Shining again.
