Twilight turned the page. She couldn't believe that she hadn't read this book earlier. Parasprite biology was fascinating. She had always wondered how they managed to reproduce so quickly. She never would have expected them to be able to do so by using their-

There was a knock on the door, which jolted Twilight out of her reading. She sighed, grabbed a bookmark, and answered it.

She found Fluttershy standing on her doorstep. The poor girl's face was red as a beet for some reason. Twilight couldn't imagine why. After tabulating Fluttershy's Preference Grid, the only thing of note that she had found was that Fluttershy preferred porn of people with dark hair and involved boobs being fondled. There was nothing surprising about that. Unless...

"Nobody walked in on you, did they?"

Fluttershy merely shook her head.

"What happened?"

"I..." Fluttershy's voice was so quiet it barely even qualified as a whisper. "Can I come in?"

"Sure." Twilight waved for her to come in. "Take a seat. Would you like some tea?"

"Um, no. I'm fine." Fluttershy stared at the chair for a moment. "I think I'll stand."

"Oh. Okay." Twilight shrugged, and sat down again. "So, what's the problem?"

"I... ran into a bit of a problem." Fluttershy stared at her fingers.

"Of course." Twilight sighed. "What is it this time? Rarity bust in to make you be her dress model? Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle set fire to your house? Your bed collapsed?"

"N...no..." Fluttershy mumbled. "Nothing like that. It's... I..."

"What is it, then?"

Fluttershy's face flushed even more, if that were even possible. "It... it's stuck."

"Stuck?" Twilight tilted her head. "What's stuck?"

Fluttershy said nothing. Instead, she just looked at her feet.

"Well?"

"Um, maybe I should go," Fluttershy said. "Sorry to have bothered you..." she turned around and walked towards the door. Twilight narrowed her eyes. Fluttershy's steps were uncharacteristically small and shaky. It was almost as if...

"Fluttershy." Twilight's voice was slightly sharper. "When you said 'stuck', were you talking about..." She decided to let Fluttershy finish the sentence.

Fluttershy just sighed, then the words burst out of her. "I bought a set of anal beads from Vibe this afternoon, and I was using them to masturbate, and I was really getting into it, and I pushed them in a bit too far and now I can't get them out!"

"Ah." Twilight bit her lip. "That's... quite a problem."

Fluttershy nodded. "I'm not sure what to do. It's been up there all afternoon. I know you're supposed to make sure that you hold on to the end, but I thought I was getting close to an orgasm, and it just slipped out of my fingers!"

"Okay, okay, uh, have you, you know, gone to a doctor?"

"I can't go to a doctor! I'd never be able to look them in the face again!" Fluttershy shuttered. "And it would probably go on my chart, too! Any doctor I'd ever go to ever again would look at my chart and see a note that I got something stuck in my butt!"

"And what do you expect me to do!?" Twilight asked, trying not to think too hard about Fluttershy's anus. "I'm not a doctor! And I haven't ever had that particular problem before. You'd be better off asking Vibe about it. I'm sure this has come up before."

"No way! I barely even know her." Fluttershy began to twiddle her thumbs. "Besides, she had a whole spiel she gave me about how to do anal stimulation safely. I'd feel like an idiot if I had to tell her that I messed up."

"Alright then." Twilight sighed, and threw her hands in the air. "I guess I'll try to figure something out. I don't supposed you've had to... uh... heed nature's call this afternoon?"

"No. Vibe said that I should try to make sure that I'm as... cleaned out as possible before putting anything up there, or it might.... make a mess. So I... went right before I started. And I haven't had to go again."

"In that case, why don't you just eat some fiber muffins? Maybe take a laxative. Things might... work out on their own. Though if it doesn't you should definitely see a doctor. I'm no expert on... this subject, but I believe that it could cause some rather nasty complications if it stays in there for too long."

"But how long would it take for a laxative to work?"

"Honestly, I don't know," Twilight said with a shrug. "It could take hours."

"Oh." Fluttershy sighed. "I don't know if I want to wait that long. I haven't been able to sit down all afternoon, and my legs are starting to hurt. And well, it didn't feel too bad before, but now it's really starting to get uncomfortable."

Twilight bit her lip. She couldn't leave Fluttershy out to dry now, obviously. She was, however indirectly, responsible for the fact that this had happened. She should have recommended a butt plug instead. Unfortunately, the only obvious solution that came to mind was hardly pleasant. Of course, chances were that Fluttershy would be completely averse to the idea, which meant that she wouldn't have to do it. She'd have to risk it.

"Well, there's only one thing I could do," she said carefully. "I could try... manually removing the... obstruction."

"M-manually... You mean like... with... your- your hands?"

Twilight nodded. "I can't think of anything else to do. It would be better to go to a doctor, of course, but if you really don't want to, I... I guess I could try to help." She sighed. "It's my fault that this happened, after all."

"But you... you have to put your hand..." Fluttershy blushed so hard that her face seemed to be in danger of exploding. "In... in my..."

"It's the only thing I can think of! It's not like I'm looking forward to it!"

"But couldn't you use something else? Like tweezers, or tongs or something like that?"

Twilight shook her head. "Those things are too pointy. I wouldn't want to risk rupturing your... you know. That could lead to all sorts of complications."

"I see."

"So, um, I guess we should... try to get ready." Twilight mentally kicked herself. She'd never have guessed that Fluttershy would call her bluff in a situation like this. "I'll get my lube."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Twilight asked. She slipped a latex glove onto her hand and let it snap, hoping that the sound would prove too nerve-wracking for Fluttershy. "I'm sure that doctor-patient confidentiality would apply if you wanted to go to a real doctor."

"M-maybe so," Fluttershy said. "But I want to get it over with."

"Okay then." Twilight took a deep breath as it sunk into her mind that yes, they were really going through with it. "Bend over."

Fluttershy took a deep breath of her own and knelt on the edge of Twilight's bed. "Please, be gentle."

"Believe me, I will," Twilight mumbled. "So, uh, now is the time to... take it off."

"O-okay." Fluttershy reached back, her hands shaking. She fumbled with the hem of her sundress, lifting it up to reveal a frilly pair of pale pink panties. "I-is this okay?"

"Yes, yes, that's fine." Twilight tried to ignore the fact that her heart had sped up a bit. She had to admit: Fluttershy had a really cute ass. Though the fact that there was currently a string of anal beads stuck in there made the appreciation feel rather odd. "Here goes."

She reached up and hooked her fingers under the edge of Fluttershy's panties. She wasn't entirely sure whether the skin or the fabric was softer. Fluttershy shivered. This was almost certainly a new experience for the both of them. Twilight had never removed anyone's underwear besides her own. And Fluttershy sure as hell had never had anyone take off her panties. She felt Fluttershy hold her breath for a moment as the panties slid down her legs and settled around her knees.

Twilight couldn't help but nod her head a little. There was no denying it. Fluttershy had a pretty great butt. Smooth as silk, and just enough curve in the hips to be shapely without being obtrusive. There was almost a pillow-like quality to it. She shook her head and realized that she had been staring. No need to make this more awkward than it already was.

"So, uh, if you could just spread your legs a bit..." she mumbled.

"O-okay." Fluttershy's voice was nearly silent as she shifted slightly, moving her legs just a bit apart.

Twilight tried to keep focused on the relevant part of Fluttershy's body and not acknowledge that her friend's genitalia were on display. She had seen plenty of nudity before, but seeing it in person rather than as a mere picture on a page was hardly the same thing. And it was doubly surreal that the genitalia in question belonged to a friend.

"Alright, Fluttershy, here we go. I'll try not to make it too uncomfortable." She picked up the tube of lube and squeezed a blob onto the fingers of her gloved hand. "Just... hold still, okay?"

Fluttershy closed her eyes and nodded.

Twilight took a deep breath and gently placed her hand on Fluttershy's behind, spreading her friend's butt cheeks. She found herself staring at Fluttershy's anus. She hadn't really known what she expected, but what she saw was a small circle of slightly puckered skin. She lifted her other hand and as gently as she could manage, pressed her finger against it, smearing the lube over it. She could feel Fluttershy trembling. "It's alright, Fluttershy. Now, this next part may be a little... uh... you know."

She pressed harder, and her finger slowly slid into Fluttershy's anus, up to the first knuckle. It was soft and warm, and it felt like it was squeezing her finger. "Are you okay? It doesn't hurt, does it?"

"N-no, it's fine," she said in a choked voice.

"Alright, I'm going to have to... feel around a bit to see if I can find it." She began to slowly move her finger in circles. "If we're lucky, it won't be too far up- ah." Her fingertip brushed something that was definitely not part of Fluttershy's anatomy. "Found it."

"Really?" Fluttershy sounded anxious.

"Don't get too excited. I know where it is, but I'll have to go in deeper in order to get it out. Hold still." She dug her finger in deeper, and Fluttershy squeaked. "You okay? It doesn't hurt, does it?"

"N-not at all."

"Good. Let me just see if I can..." She continued to feel around, trying to think of a way to get a grip. She knew exactly where the set of beads were, but how was she supposed to get them out? You couldn't grab anything with one finger. Her fingertip felt around the beads. She grinned as she reached the end of it. There was a loop at the end of the string. Fluttershy's finger must have slipped out of it and the rest was history. Now she just had to get her own finger in there.

"Are you almost done?"

"Just a sec. I think I've almost got it." She grunted. "It's kinda tough not being able to see what I'm doing. And everything is all slippery because of the lube. Just... a little... more..."

Fluttershy inhaled sharply as Twilight shoved her entire finger in. "T-Twilight! You don't need to be so rough-"

"Got it! Had to get my finger in the loop. Now I just need to get it out." She began to withdraw her finger. The beads came along, slowly, as if Fluttershy's butt didn't want to let them go. "Just about there..." Fluttershy squealed as Twilight withdrew her finger, the rubber ring at the base of the bead string wrapped around it. "There! Got the end of it out." She slowly withdrew the string, Fluttershy gasping as her anus released each bead.

"And, there it is!" Twilight said as the end of the string popped out. "You can... uh... put your panties back on."

"Thanks," Fluttershy mumbled as she stood, her legs wobbling a little.

"You're welcome," Twilight said. Then she held up the beads. "So, uh, do you want these in a box or something?"

"Oh, um, I don't know."

"I'll just wrap them up or something," Twilight stuck her fingers under the edge of the glove and peeled it off, turning it inside out around the beads. "Wouldn't want anybody to notice. Next time, be careful not to let go, okay? I'd rather not have to do this again."

"Yes, yes, I know." Fluttershy hung her head, not even attempting to look at Twilight.

"Well, I'm just glad we were able to fix it without causing any problems." Twilight put a hand on Fluttershy's shoulder. "You're feeling better, aren't you?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Um, do you mind if I use your bathroom?"

Fluttershy sat on the toilet. She had long since finished her business, but she had other things on her mind. Other things besides the fact that it had been incredibly embarrassing to ask one of her friends stick a hand up her pooper. That bothered her, but it wasn't what bothered her most. What really bothered her was how, for lack of a better word, pleasant the experience had been. Not the butt-probing itself, but just the whole situation. She had expected the entire ordeal to be tortuously awkward to the point that she couldn't possibly have gotten even the slightest bit of pleasure from it. It had been awkward, but to her surprise it hadn't been that awkward. Having Twilight's finger fishing around in her butt hadn't been nearly as... uncomfortable as she had expected. In fact, it almost felt better than when she had been doing it herself.

She shook her head. She wasn't about to drag Twilight even further into this. Things were weird enough between them already. She was probably the only person in their entire circle of friends who had had another friend put their fingers... there. Well, aside from that time that Pinkie and Rainbow Dash had gotten drunk.

In any case, she couldn't let things with Twilight escalate any more. It would just be too weird.

Author's Note

And it finally gets more cloppy! Sort of. I don't even really have a thing for anal. I just struck on the idea of Fluttershy getting something stuck in her butt and couldn't avoid using it.
