The Mare of Her Dreams

Twilight sauntered into the dimly lit restaurant, following her instincts. Effortlessly, she came upon Rainbow, sitting before a candle-lit table set for two, waiting for someone. She had been waiting for hours, it seemed, candles were burned down to nubs, and though the kitchen must have closed some time ago, food was already waiting on the table. Rainbow glanced at the doorway, and upon seeing Twilight, her face lit up; she may well have been the happiest pony in the world at that moment. It was Twilight she was waiting for.

The pegasus eagerly leapt from her seat and pulled out a chair opposite her own, beckoning for Twilight to join her. As the alicorn sat down and looked over the spread, she was shocked by what she found before her. Not only had Rainbow selected her favorite restaurant, but also her favorite food, favorite wine... and, now sitting across from her? Her favorite mare.

"I noticed you were running a little late," Rainbow said bashfully, "So I went ahead and ordered for you. I hope that's what you wanted..."

"It's... absolutely perfect," Twilight remarked, astonished. Where else but in a dream could she hope to find a mare that knew her so well? Nevertheless, she allowed herself to indulge in the fantasy, rather than question it. The two lovers ate alone in the candle-lit room, looking at each other longingly. On several occasions, Rainbow simply stopped eating and instead decided to watch Twilight's every move, basking in her radiant beauty. Twilight was really spoiling herself in this dream— It was almost too much. Almost.

After the two finished off the main course, they shared a slice of chocolate cheesecake, tenderly feeding each other bites of the delectable treat. Once they had emptied the plate, Rainbow wrapped a hoof around Twilight's and smiled softly. "So... I was thinking we could go back to my place and maybe... Have a little fun?"

"I think I'd like that," Twilight replied as she wrapped a wing around her companion and pulled her closer. "I'd like that a lot."

"Really?" Rainbow asked, her joy palpable. "Awesome!"

The two lovers left the restaurant and flew gracefully through the air, twisting and twirling around each other in grand spiraling arcs. Twilight leveled out, but Rainbow still hadn't had her fun, and she rolled underneath Twilight so they could fly belly-to-belly. Rainbow's mouth was bent into a stupid, almost drunken smile as she watched Twilight closely and mirrored her every move, completely trusting her lover to guide her through the sky.

Twilight took cursory glances downwards to see her aerial companion, drinking in the sight of the mare she so loved, although she was required to keep most of her attention on their trajectory, lest they crash into a cloud or some unfortunate passing pegasus. Twilight spotted a lake down below them, just a little out of the way, and dove for it, hardly thinking about why. Rainbow Dash obliged happily, not even questioning the detour, as she brought herself even closer to Twilight, until mere inches separated their bodies.

The two coasted across the surface of the lake, and the air flowing around them cut a wake into the water below. A full Moon shined brightly on the pristine surface, lighting them from above and below, and each time their wings drew close to one another during their synchronized flight, tiny sparks of magic would flit into and out of existence, twinkling as they arced through the crisp night air. Just as Twilight was about to pull up, the blue pegasus below her wrapped her arms around the neck of the violet alicorn above her and pushed, bringing them into a steep climb.

Higher... Higher... Ever higher, until the air grew unnaturally chilly, giving Twilight goosebumps, and the sky became obscenely black. As the stars danced around them, Rainbow Dash pressed her lips firmly against Twilight's, slowly opening them as she introduced her tongue into the other mare's mouth. She folded her wings, allowing herself to begin falling, and Twilight did the same. Even without pushing themselves, the innate magic of the two ponies was enough to stretch the laws of physics, and great arcs of magic twisted around them, struggling to interact with their great speed. As they approached the altitude of Rainbow's home, the pegasus squeezed a little more tightly around the alicorn, signaling for her to spread her wings, sharply altering their trajectory.

After gliding for a few seconds, Twilight landed gently on the clouds before Dashie's front door, with Rainbow still securely wrapped around her. Twilight lowered herself so that Dash would press into the cloud bank, and they looked into each other's eyes for a moment, before Twilight moved in for another kiss. Hardly able to contain her excitement, the newly minted princess then brought her face down to nuzzle the pegasus' soft wind-blown chest fur, and started to migrate South...

Rainbow blushed, as she protested. "Maybe we should wait to be inside before we start..."

Even though it was only a dream, and the thought of being watched voyeuristically was actually a bit of a turn-on, Twilight wanted to do as Rainbow wished. Even though this was Twilight's fantasy, Twilight's fantasy was to please Rainbow Dash; to take the emotional feelings she had for the pegasus and turn them into physical sensations that could be shared. Even if this wasn't really Rainbow, this was the closest Twilight would ever get to gratifying the pegasus, and she would take what she could get.

"It's a little messy..." Rainbow remarked, gesturing towards her home "I wasn't expecting you to agree to come over." With a blush, she beckoned Twilight through the front door and up through a gap in the ceiling that led to her bedroom.

By the time Twilight had made it into the bedroom, she found Rainbow bent low to the ground and presenting herself submissively. This was new— Twilight loved being on top, but even in her dreams, it was a struggle to claim the dominant position. It was easier to just accept her place as bottom. And yet, in this dream, Dash was simply yielding to her. Twilight almost felt guilty, as though she was greedily letting her own desires dictate how Dash should behave in the bedroom. Still, she didn't want to interrupt the flow; it was just such a wonderful dream. Too wonderful to pass up on after such an awful day.

"I'm ready, cutie." Rainbow uttered sheepishly, giving a shy look back to the violet mare standing behind her. Twilight eyed Rainbow's groin apprehensively. She hadn't had much face-time with these labia, but they looked different from the way she remembered. Not so tight and clean, with the inner lips protruding outside the outer ones, but still beautiful, nonetheless. Weird dream.

Twilight stuck out her tongue to meet Rainbow's soft flesh, and began delicately and methodically teasing her lips. Rainbow even tasted different in this dream— saltier, and maybe a little savory. It was far from the flowery, sweet taste Twilight had become accustomed to in prior dreams, but she still found it quite enjoyable. As the pheromones ran through Twilight's head, she felt a familiar tingle build up in her nether-regions. She wanted to reach back and take care of it, but this was Rainbow's moment...

"Oooohhh...Ooh..." Rainbow cooed as Twilight plumbed her depths. "Oh, Twilight..."

The alicorn moved down a little lower and began suckling at the pegasus' nipples.

"Twi? What are—" Twilight nibbled her teat gently. "Oh gosh... I didn't know that could feel so..."

Rainbow blushed and pressed her face into the cloud-based floor of her home as Twilight began to lick and suck her clitoris. "twulut... mmmmmph... Oooh..."

Though her mouth was occupied, Twilight smiled with her eyes. She usually wasn't very good at pleasuring her dream-Rainbow, but now she was finally feeling like she was giving back. She was able to give the pleasure she had received in so many prior dreams. Making Rainbow feel good was the greatest reward Twilight could imagine. If only she could do the same for the real Rainbow Dash; if only she could say how she felt, show how she felt— act as she felt she needed to act.

Twilight reached a hoof around Rainbow's flank and pushed forward, burying her face inside her lover's groin, savoring every smell, every taste, every sensation. She rubbed her horn against the base of Rainbow's Tail, and curiously, she also extended her wings, bringing them down to tenderly stroke at Rainbow's back hooves. She'd never done that in a dream before; and she wasn't sure why she was doing it now, but Rainbow was responding quite positively to it, so she continued enthusiastically.

In a matter of minutes, Rainbow was rocking back and forth in delight, screaming with pleasure. There was something different about this Rainbow Dash— different from every other time Twilight had dreamed of her. She wasn't making witty sexual puns, her stamina was much lower, and in place of dominance and sexual prowess was a certain shyness and humility that Twilight might expect to see from Fluttershy instead. Yet, this deviation from the usual fantasy was a welcome change— this Rainbow somehow felt more right, more true, more—

Several things happened in that moment to interrupt Twilight's train of thought. First off, Rainbow came. Not that that was a completely unusual occurrence in her dream, but she had never had a dream before in which Rainbow had actually ejected fluids from her genitals— at least, not unless a certain gender-bending spell had been applied beforehand. Secondly, some of it got in her eye, which didn't exactly feel wonderful. Finally, as Twilight withdrew her head, she noticed that there was a third pair of eyes in the room. Princess Luna was... Watching them. With very notable enthusiasm.

Twilight didn't say a word. She simply stared at the night princess, mouth agape, hoping that she wasn't really there and that this was just a really weird dream. After a moment, Rainbow's aloof flank toppled over, and she ended up on her side, facing away from Luna. She rolled over enough to see Twilight's horrified expression, which quickly turned her own satisfied grin into a similar look of worry, before she slowly traced Twilight's line of sight to the princess. The three sat silently and awkwardly for a brief time.

Luna simply looked prideful. "So, how are you two doing?"

"L-Luna..." Twilight stuttered, "what are you doing in my dream?"

"Yeah..." Rainbow Dash added, "This dream was kinda private..."

"But... Were you not having a good time?" Luna asked, now facing Rainbow Dash.

"Okay, now I know I'm just dreaming you. Why would you talk to her if it's my dream?"

"Because it's Rainbow's dream too."

"Wait, it's my dream 'too' ?" Rainbow asked. "Who else's dream is it?"

Luna tilted her head over to Twilight.

Twilight's pupils contracted and her lips pursed awkwardly as she realized what was going on, though Rainbow still didn't get it.

"What do you mean?"

"Two ponies can share one dream, Rainbow Dash. I noticed that the two of you were having basically the same dream, every night, for a week, and I ascertained that I could conserve bandwidth in the dreamscape by consolidating them. I was just checking in to make sure everything worked out to your liking."

Luna still looked rather proud of herself, Twilight looked like she was going to vomit, and Rainbow Dash was still confused.

"So... you're saying... Twilight really did just go down on me?"

Luna pondered it for a moment. "Basically, yes."

"And... she dreams about me like this all the time?"

Luna nodded thoughtfully.

"So... We're... like, marefriends now?"

Twilight shot Dashie a nervous glance.

"Were you not already?"

"Huh?"

"I can see from your dreams that you both care deeply for one another... Do you not already consider yourselves betrothed?"

"Well, I mean, I was gonna tell Twilight I liked her, but I just— I was so nervous about it."

"You do? You were?" Twilight asked, visibly shaken, "I had— I had no idea you liked me!"

"Rainbow's demeanor shifted as she remembered Twilight was still in the room. "I mean, I... kinda, I guess you're sorta cool... For an egghead..."

Luna glared at Rainbow sarcastically.

"Okay... I guess you're... Uh...."

Luna raised her eyebrows.

"Okay, okay, fine... Twi... you're the coolest pony I've ever met."

"Really?"

"Yeah! I mean... except for me. And maybe Spitfire."

"I... I don't know what to say..."

Luna smiled. "I can think of three words."

"Oh... yeah... I guess I... Now that we... Everything's all out in the open... I guess I... I... I lov... I..." Twilight was blowing it again. Just three words. It should be easy. Her eyes spoke to a pleading desperation. She wanted to say it. She knew it was true. She began to sweat...

"I love you too, egghead," Rainbow Dash interjected before pecking Twilight on the cheek.

Twilight's face flushed bright red.

"Well, I'm glad I was able to help clear this up..." Luna remarked. "But now I've got some other dreams to catch up on. If you need anything... You know how to find me!"

"Wait, Luna!" Twilight called out.

"Yes, Twilight?"

"I'm just really worried... well, about... You know..." Twilight gestured backwards and extended a wing to express her meaning.

"I am not certain of what you are... Oh... Oh. Yes. I see." She brought her hoof to her chin. "I... recommend that you do not worry about that."

"How could I not worry about it? It's a huge deal!"

Rainbow concernedly glanced back and forth between the other two ponies. "About what?"

Luna was clearly choosing her words carefully. "I do not presume that it will be a problem for very long."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I cannot share with you any further details. Bye, for now, Princess."

"Bye?"

Luna poofed away into a cloud of smoke.

"That was weird," Rainbow Dash remarked. "What're you worried about?"

"Uh... Nothing..."

"So... I guess we're alone now..."

"Yeah..." Twilight affirmed timidly, rubbing her forearm.

"So... You wanna finish where we left off?"

"I... I guess so... If you're okay with that..."

"Where were we?"

"Well... I think I had just..." Twilight flushed again. Her eyes darted back and forth. "I made you... come..."

"Yeah, I do seem to remember that... So I think that makes it your turn..."

"I— I don't know if I'm ready..."

"But I know you are!"

"But I can't even say that I lo— I... I love... I... I—" Twilight teared up as her mouth failed her yet again, but Rainbow Dash silenced her with her hoof.

"You don't have to say it. Because you showed me. I can feel it right here." Rainbow insisted, touching her hoof to Twilight's chest."

"Really?"

"Mmhmm... And... I love you too, Twilight. I really do! I was just so scared to say it... Scared of what everypony would think of me. But now that I've... I've felt the way you love me... I don't even care what anyone thinks. I love you. I just love you, so fucking much..."

"So... It really was you that ordered for me at the restaurant?"

"Well duh, Twi! You think I don't remember my best friend's favorite foods? Even when I thought it was just a dream I... I really wanted you to be happy!"

"And... the way you looked at me?"

"All me! I try not to stare in real life, but I just... I can feel in my heart that we're perfect for each other! My heart and... a couple of other places..."

"Huh?"

"Why don't you lay back, and I'll show you what I mean..."

"Ohhhhh... Oh. Ooh!" Twilight giggled "Oh... Rainbow!"

Rainbow pulled her head away, licking her lips. "Oh, wow... Wow... That's amazing! Not like grape at all!"

"What?"

"Nothing..." Rainbow muttered awkwardly as she started her tongue-work back up again.
