- Chapter 2: The Goddess of Love -

[b]Warning, this chapter involves: lots of foreplay, slight hornjob, blowjob[/b]

You are lying in the bed on a train- the train to the Crystal empire to be exact. You're lying on your back and staring at the boards for the bunk bed above you while you feel the rhythmic ticks and jumps as you pass over connecting points in the tracks. It still stings in your chest each time you take a deep breath and your muscles are still complaining from every sudden movement. Luckily for you, Princess Celestia was currently busy with some embassy which would take a week, tops, so you had decided it was best to visit Princess Cadance in the Crystal Empire which was a day's train ride away. At least you got a chance to rest up a bit in peace-

"So, how was it!?" Pinkie calls out, suddenly standing by your bedside.

You don't jump in surprise; your body is too tired for that so you just sigh deeply. "What do you mean Pinkie?"

A innocent smile spreads across her lips. "Oh, you know, having sex for the first time. I bet it felt reeaally good."

"Yeah, come on tough guy," Dash peeks her head down from the bed above. "How was it doing the mother of your girlfriend?"

You let that sentence drift around in your head a second. "It was... strange to say the least. I'm not used to such a weird tradition."

"You know, it's not really a requrie- reckur- you don't really need to do it." You raise an eyebrow at her.

"Yep," Dash nods. "Some get married without taking the test. You just ended up picking the girl obsessed with following the rules, though they tend to end up living distant from anyone else."

"Maybe that's the reason Europia is so far away from Equestria?" Dash can't help but laugh.

"Pinkie, what are you even talking about? That was so random."

You hear the door to the second cabin open and the rest of the girls come in. Great, so much for a little break.

"Dash, Pinkie, can't you see he's tired after last night? Give the poor man a rest, he needs it for the task at hand," Rarity says.

"Oh I bet he's tired," Dash teases. "He made it difficult for all of us to sleep."

"Well it sure did sound like he packed quite the punch," Applejack says and you're not sure if it was a compliment or another tease.

Pinkie giggled. "I know, I was sure the neighbors would come and complain about the noise."

"Uhm, I didn't notice it too much," Fluttershy says, hiding some of her face in her sweater's big turtleneck. "I mean, I heard maybe some b-but not much."

Dash snorted. "Yeah right, you could hear them from everywhere in the house but you were hiding in the bathroom the whole time. What took you so long in there anyway?"

"Could you all stop bothering my husband-to-be?" Twilight says, a bit upset. "I know he's not my husband yet but he will be soon and I would appreciate it if you gave him some privacy."

"Aww, come on Twilight," Dash says with a frown. "We're just teasing him a little, he can just tell us to stop if it gets too mean."

"It's okay sweetie, I don't mind them too much," you say.

Twilight walks up beside you and sits down on the bed corner. "Well I just want you to be best prepared for the next test, you know how much I worry about you." She puts a hand on your chest as a loving motion but you make a slight groan of pain. "Something wrong honey?"

"N-no, no," you say dodging and put your hand over hers. "I just took a deep breath, I'm fine."

You haven't told her specifically what really happened that night, mostly for her to not worry. She probably had enough on her plate as it was with the preparations for the wedding, and you whining about some stiff and sore muscles wasn't something she needed on top of that. Besides, you thought it would go away but it feels to have only gotten worse since last night. You had never bothered to add any muscle relaxation spell to your repertoire either, so you just had to suck it up and hope it would at least ease up later on.

"Yeah, sorry, I just want you to be at your best for the next part." She stands up. "I'm just gonna go check on a few things. Do try to get some rest, you look a bit tired."

She walks out and you can't resist but look as she sways that beautiful ass of hers. Her friends notice the direction of your stare and they giggle. As soon as Twilight leaves the room you scoot a bit up in the bed.

"Now, I have something to ask the five of you." You have been thinking on this for a while now but asking Twi would be both awkward and wrong. "I know Twi and Shining Armor are close. Twilight talks about him a great deal, as well as his wife-"

"You already know about Shining Armor?" Pinkie Pie interrupts you and leans in uncomfortably close as if she wants to check your irises. "She didn't tell us before the end of season two, boy did that come as a surprise! I was like 'what, you have a brother?!' And then we were suddenly responsible for decorating and doing everything to this wedding we just got invited to."

You blink. "Wait a second, what do you mean about season?"

Dash peeks her head back down to explain. "Pinkie has her own calendar, marks off certain days and then calls them a season. Don't ask how it works, she'll go on and on about conspiracy theories and such."

You just nod your head. "Anyway, I need to ask all of you. As good friends of Twilight, do you know how close she is to her brother?"

Applejack shrugs. "As close as I am to my brother, I guess"

"Ok then, is there any rule which limits how close two siblings can get?" It was a question that had been nagging on your mind since you got introduced to the Mother Test.

The five of them laugh. "Why would there be a rule against how close siblings can get?" Applejack said. "That's just plain silly!"

"So a brother and sister can go all the way if they wanted? There's no law or taboo against that sort of thing?" You begin to sweat as the feeling of dread starts to wash over you.

"Say what now?" Applejack asks. "What do ya mean, 'go all the way'?"

Rarity eyes light up. "Sweet Celestia! Are you asking if Twilight and Shining armor...?" As Rarity trails off, she makes a circle with one hand and moves two of her fingers in and out of the hole.

The four girls look at Rarity trying to figure out the question. Pinkies face lights up as she raises her hand in the air. "Oh! I know! I know! He's asking if Shining Armor has ever banged Twilight!" Pinkie folds her arms together with a smug look on her face as the other three gasp in horror.

Applejack buries her face into her hat and begins to mumble something you can't make out. Rainbow Dash claps her hands over her ears and shakes her head in disbelief. Fluttershy places her hand over her mouth, covering up her already quiet voice as her wings suddenly stretches outwards with alarming force. You recognize the gestures as the 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,' and you wonder if they maybe had been rehearsing it for a time like this. Pinkie's smile fades as quickly as it showed up as the answer dawns on her. She grabs you at the shoulders and starts shaking you violently as she yells. "WHY WOULD YOU THINK SUCH A DISTURBING THOUGHT?!"

The pain shoots through your body, robbing you for any hope of relaxation any time soon. "I don't know all these weird laws of yours, this Mother Test thing just got me thinking, that's all. Please stop shaking me!"

"Sorry!" Pinkie says as she go of you. "So very sorry, but that was a down-right and up-left wrong type of question."

"Well for your information, " Applejack says strict. "There are laws against things like that. We don't go marrying out siblings, and we sure as heck don't go having sex with them. And since its a law, you know quite well Twilight would never go against it!"

You lay back with that nagging weight lifted from your spirits. Your body is aching almost just as bad as when you went to sleep last night, but at least you got your mind settled.

"Having sex with a brother. Hmph." Applejack continued. "Ah mean, sure, ah've gotten a hug from my brother when ah was feeling down but there's nothin' wrong getting a hug, is there?"

You simply shake your head slightly as you try to relax.

"Of course not!" Applejack continued, not even looking for a response from you. She seems to be talking to herself now. "Ain't nothin' wrong with having your brother put his strong musclebound arms around you and pull you in when you're having a downer.."

There was something about that sentence that put you off.

"Or compliment him on his looks, and have him compliment on your own."

You feel the tingle of dread start to creep back in.

"Or feel his lips as he brings you in for a kiss."

The pain in your body is now overtaking the uncomfortable thought of Twilight making out with her brother and you feel the room starting to spin. Fluttershy takes notice of your decreasing health to Applejack's story and tries to speak. "Um, Applejack? Maybe, um, you should stop-"

"Heck, ah do enjoy a good cunnilingus from Big Mac, now and then. He's got a mighty powerful tongue but have Big Mac stuff his penis into my vagina? Never! The thought of anythin' past oral is sick."

You force yourself out of the bed and towards the door. You need fresh air, and fast. You could hear Applejack's voice behind you as you open the door. "Now what's his problem? Is cunnilingus illegal from where he comes from? Boy, is he missing out then."

You take a deep breath of fresh air as you watch the mountains of Canterlot become almost out of sight. Soon the forests around would be gone and the land would be covered in snow and Ice. Applejack's words spin in your head. The thought of anything past oral is sick, she'd said. Did everyone in Equestria to think like that? Does Twilight think like that? Does that mean Twilight and Shining Armor... Your head started to spin again and you try to banish that thought pattern from your head. Your main focus right now was to get well and pass the next test, for Twilight. Whatever she did in the past is in the past. Right?

"Hey, I thought you said you were okay." You jump lightly as you hear Twilight follow you out on the small balcony on the back of the train. "You know, you've got to tell me if anything is wrong."

You shake your head. "Nah, I just needed some fresh air. I'll be fine in a minute or so, I guess it just got a bit crowded in there."

You expect her to pat you on the shoulder or something and go back inside to leave you to your thoughts but instead she leans against the railing beside you. She puts her hand yours which you really don't mind at all. You take some time to just listen to the train, the wind blowing by and feel the chill air as the day turns to night on your journey further north.

"You know, in a bit we will be able to see the Aurora Borealis. Won't that be romantic?"

"If you say so."

Twilight frowns. "Whats wrong? I thought you would have liked to watch it."

You shrug. "It sounds ok, I guess. I just don't like the night too much."

Twilight looks at you in confusion. "More of a day person huh? Well in the morning the sun reflects off the ice, making an upside down rainbow buried in the ice. It's also beautiful."

"Actually, I don't like the day either to be honest."

Twilight throws up her arms in frustration. "Seriously? You don't like the day or night? Which time of the day do you like then?"

You smile devious, having found something that puzzled her. "Oh it's that's special time of day right after sunset and nighttime and right before night becomes morning where the sun rises." You look at her and you see she gets it. "It's just special moment which I feel that everything is right and that it is my moment where it's you, me and the person I love."

"That was so sappy," she says before putting her arms around you. "I love it when you're sappy."

She locks her lips with yours in a sweet and long kiss and you put your arms around her too. You stand there for a while in each other embrace as you actually feel the air get colder. As you stand there, the wavy turquoise carpet that is the Northern Lights appears in the star-covered sky. It feels like it's a display put on just for the two of you, standing tightly together, partly due to the coldness creeping in, before you decide to go back inside.

[hr]

Arriving at the Crystal Empire train station, you were met by royal wagons which took you all to the castle. You feel embarrassed riding the golden wagon through the street, having children pointing and asking if you are important people. You are guided into the palace made of giant plates of pastel blue crystals, which you mistook for ice at first, where you are met by Prince Shining and Princess Cadance.

Shining has short blue hair with stripes of lighter blue and is dressed in a rose red uniform with a blue sash across his chest and a shield symbol on it, something dedicated to the top elites of the royal guards in Canterlot. Cadance has an easy and casual-looking pink dress with lines of yellow, something that matches her hair pretty well.

"Hey Twily," Shining says as soon as you enter the door to the hall and pulls her into a hug. "Wow, I can't believe you're getting married sis. I really hope I don't have to go through the same as you have to at my wedding."

"Don't worry," Twilight laughs. "Not every wedding has to go like that. Hey Cadance!" Twi goes over to the princess who stands a bit in the background.

She smiles brightly as she notices her and they do a childish clapping game. You only assume it's some sort of special greeting for them. At least she hasn't told you about it or tried to teach it to you. Shining steps in front of you and reaches out his arm for a more formal greeting.

"I'm guessing you are the lucky groom?" He's about a foot taller than you and the slightly aggressive tone in his voice makes him seem like the protective brother you thought him to be.

"That I am, and one of the luckiest to get to ask for Twilight's hand." You take his hand and almost croak as he grips yours quite hard.

"Sorry." Shining apologizes and loosens his grip. "Sort of a force of habit after shaking hands with so many military figures. I tend to forget just how strong my handshake is."

"I'm so glad you said you were able to help out with the Mother Test Cadance," Twilight says joyfully. "I really appreciate it; you know how important the rules all around this is to me. I mean, for me, this is life or death and I just want to go exactly by the book."

Cadance laughs, slightly nervously you think. "Of course I know you take this serious Twilight, such important traditions must be upheld. As Princess it's almost my duty to keep this tradition going. Now then, you all must be really hungry. Come, we've prepared dinner."

"Oh boy, yes please." Pinkie grabs her stomach which growls as if on command. "The train food was barely more than a few lettuce leaves."

No one can help but at least giggle at her extreme comparison, though it wasn't too far off. You all let your baggage get taken by the servants to your rooms as you go to dinner.

The servant girl finishes pouring your drink. You marvel at how her hair looks almost like glass. The seats were arranged with Cadance at the end of the table, followed by Shining, Twilight, you and then Applejack. Opposite for Cadance is Rarity and then Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and ending with Fluttershy. Funny enough, your group seems to only take a fraction of the very long dinner table, you'd say about one-fifth of it, maybe a little more. Fluttershy nervously eyes the drink she has gotten.

"What is this?" she ask.

"A wine made from crystal grapes that grow up here." Cadance answers, taking a sip to prove it.

"Wine? Oh, I don't know..."

Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes. "Come on Fluttershy. It's just wine. Even [i]you[/i] should be able to handle that."

Fluttershy takes one more wary glance at her glass before picking it up and taking a sip. "Mmm, it is pretty good."

You take a sip of your own glass. You have to agree with Fluttershy, it was quite good. The servants came back with plates of food. Fluttershy gets a refill on her wine.

Once her food was set in front of her, Rainbow Dash asks "So! Seen any military action since the last time we all came to visit?"

"Rainbow!" Rarity scolded. "What kind of question is that to ask?"

"What? I'm bored. It was the only thing I could think up."

Shining Armor chuckled. "No, all has been quiet since you have been gone."

"That's because we're all awesome," Rainbow Dash proclaimes as she places her hands behind her head. "Any trouble shows up and the six of us can put a stop to it any day."

"It's true." Shining Armor turns to face you. "It's quite a woman you've picked for a wife. She could hold off an army single handedly with her magic."

"Brother, please stop trying to scare him," Twilight says with an annoyed tone. "I'll have you know he has talents in magic too."

"Yes, but not nearly as much as you, dear sis. You've been powerful ever since you were little."

"I said stop it Shining. I mean it." Twilight grabs her fork and begin to eat.

"In fact, I remember a certain event that happened when Cadance was babysitting you..."

"SHINY!" Twilight shouted. Her tone had changed from annoyed to embarrassments. "Don't tell him that story!" This perks up all of Twilight's friends.

"Oooh, if you can't tell him it, tell the rest of us!" Rainbow says.

"Yes! Tell us! I love stories!" Pinkie shouted. "Is it one of those 'Once upon a time' types of stories or is it the opening book? Oh wait, maybe it's both at the same time!" She was clearly in her own world so he got on with the story.

"Well'" Shining began with a grin on his face. "I had gotten home early from practice, and our parents would not be home for at least an hour. Cadance needed to put Twilight to bed and we wanted to be left alone for a while..." Twilight buried her head into the dinner table and muttered "No, no, no!" over and over. Her face was red, you could tell. You felt bad for her, but you just had to hear the rest of the story.

Cadance continued, "So I had gotten out a book of bedtime stories to tell her. I began to tell her the story of the ghost who haunted her brother's room. A ghost who only made noises whenever I came over to visit. Scary moaning noises and sometimes screaming noises." Cadence giggled while everyone else smirked at the thought of what came next. "I thought for sure it would keep her out of Shining's room. Instead, she eventually got the courage to face the ghost and burst into the room, blasting everything in the dark she thought was a ghost."

Shining armor laughed. "Oh, I had a time trying to explain to my parents why I and Cadance were indented into the walls, and where some of our clothing was." Everyone had a good laugh at this; even Twilight had a small giggle.

"It was kind of silly," she says as she lifts her head up.

You laugh at the image of young Twilight pinning a teenage Shining armor to the wall. But soon your bright mood starts to darken as your thought pattern returns to what Applejack said on the train. You push back any more mental image of little Twilight and her big brother before they could depress you anymore. You stare at your food for a while, before you return to eating.

Twilight broke the silence in the room. "So, how goes training the new guards for the Crystal Empire Shining?"

You could hear Twilight and Shining Armor talk, but you aren't listening. You try to think about what's to come. You've gotten most of the worst pain out of your body but the stripes across your chest are still burning red. Overall you believe you can handle yourself for the test, if Cadance doesn't try anything extreme. Still, the thought of having to force someone's wife into- Your thoughts get interrupted as you think you feel something brush past your right leg.

"Well that's understandable. Even with all your training there was bound to be some…"

You couldn't tell what it was at first. You wait as Twilight continues to talk to Shining and Cadance. Then you feel it again. You are sure it was a foot! Someone was rubbing their foot against your can't believe this! You gaze around the table to see if you can spot who it is. There was no way Rarity could reach you from here. Rainbow Dash had a bored look on her face, so it was possible for her. Pinkie Pie just looks back at you, smiles, and wave. This would have made anyone else the guilty party, but with Pinkie Pie it was hard to tell. Then there was Fluttershy, having her… was that her 6th glass of wine? You lost count how many refills she had gotten by now since they had given her a bottle for herself. Was she drunk enough to do this? And then there was Applejack sitting at your right. She seems to be looking at Fluttershy as she's getting a refill as well. You weren't sure if she was trying to avoid eye contact or she was concerned for Fluttershy. You'd like just to have a glance under the table to see who it was, but not in front of Twilight and her family like this!

"…why, you could always trust what's written down in the book. They've had many years of theories and test that…"

The foot rubs up and down against your leg and then disappears again. Still no clue as to who the culprit was. You are not going to sit idly by! You ready your right hand under the table for the feeling to come back.

"…Men will be men as they say which is why you need to…"

Wait for it.

"…discipline. Without that, the entire troops would…"

Wait for it.

"…but you can't be too harsh or…"

There it was! You grab hold of the toe of the foot.

"… As such it's always important to rememBEEEEERRR -" Twilight's voice suddenly goes to high pitch as she starts to breath heavily. You had found who the foot belongs to but not in the way you intended. Not only was she good at multitasking it seemed, but she was also very ticklish.

"Is there something wrong Twily?" Shining Armor asked with concern.

"Oh nothing," she says as she tries to calm down after the shock. "J-just these potatoes here have *cough* a b-bit of a kick to them. It caught me by surprise."

Twilight's friends and Cadance look at each other puzzled. Shining takes his fork and try some of Twilights potatoes. "Hey she's right," he says "these do have a kick to them. Cadance, why don't my potatoes. Have they used some new spices on them?"

You could hear Rainbow Dash whisper to Pinkie Pie. "What was that all about?"

"Beats me, it was funny though." Pinkie whispers back.

[hr]

"Why did you grab my foot?" Twilight asks when you and her are alone.

"I don't know, why were you rubbing your foot against my leg?" you ask.

"Well you looked so down at dinner; I thought it might cheer you up."

"Where did you get that idea from?" you interrupt Twilight before she answers back. "Right, you read it in a book. Stupid question from me." You take a deep breath and sigh. "I'm sorry I embarrassed you Twilight, I'm just a bit stressed out. Is there any chance we can wait to take this test?"

"Uhm, I'm sorry but that just isn't possible. I kinda made the schedule a little tight so we'll have to travel back to Canterlot as soon as possible. I really should have put in a space but it totally slipped my mind."

"It's..." you sigh, a hint irritated. "It's fine, I was just wondering."

"Look, is there something bothering you? Is it something other than this test? You can tell me, you know."

"It's nothing." You lie. "I think I just need a moment to clear my head." You feel a wave of guilt wash over you, it never felt right lying to her which is why you made a note to never do it again.

"Well there's still much of the day left before you have to take the test. Let's go clear that mind!"

The rest of the day you spend with Twilight and discuss wedding plans, taking a third look at the seating for everyone, a fourth look at optional wedding dresses with Rarity, the menu with Applejack and Pinkie who were also in charge of helping out with the music together with Fluttershy and lastly you had a brief chat with Dash about performing a sonic rainboom. The sun sets and as it starts to become night, you head to your and Twilight's room to prepare yourself for the second part of the extended Mother Test. That's when you run into some pulls over one of the servant girls to ask her.

"Excuse me, all my luggage was brought to this room, but my finance's luggage doesn't seem to be here."

"We were told to only put your luggage in there, Miss Twilight," the servant answers.

"Well, where is his luggage then?"

"In the master bedroom."

Twilight looks back at you with confusion. "Why would Cadance ask to have your clothing and stuff moved to her room?"

That was a good question. Why was all your-Oh sweet Celestia, she wasn't going to…? A new dread had begins to form in your mind. You were mostly ready to take on the task at hand, but it seems Cadance had more planned. At least Velvet had let you return to your room when everything was over but Cadence seems to hinting that she was going to keep you there all night.

[b]You're doomed.[/b]

"Sweetie?" Twilight broke you out of your train of thought. "Sweetie, don't you panic. I'm sure Cadance has a very good reason for doing this. And I know that you can pass any task she can throw at you. Just believe in yourself, give her as good as job as you did with my mom and it will be just fine."

[i]That's asking too much of me Twilight[/i], you think but instead you say, "I'll do my best." You give her a kiss on the head before walking out.

"Just remember," she says as you are about to leave. "Just because you got one doesn't mean you will get a free pass. If either Cadance or Celestia disapproves, it's all off. No pressure though."

"Yeah, I get it," you say with a smile but drop it as soon as you close the door. "No pressure at all," you mumble and you begin to walk the corridors to where Cadance room is.

You walk down the long hallway and notice one of the guest rooms are opened. You can hear the voices of Rainbow Dash and Applejack inside:"Tarnation! Look at the size of the shower they got in these guest rooms! These are bigger than the ones Ah have at home! And Ah have to share them with Big Mac!"

"Oh yeah? You bathe with Big Mac, huh? Bet you like to help him wash up, huh?"

"Whatcha talkin' about, Rainbow? Big Mac doesn't need help washin' himself."

"Yeah, but you'd love to help him out, right? Particularly below his belt, I bet."

"Why the hay would Ah do that? He's his own grown self. He'll wash everything above and below the belt as he likes by himself. He doesn't need any help from his sis."

"Ah come on, are you telling me you two never did it in a shower at all?"

"Did what in a shower?"

"You know, relieve some of his pressure. From below. With your hands."

"Rainbow, Ah ain't never touch touched my brother there my entire life."

"What, never? But on the train you admitted-"

"That's cunnilingus. That's completely different."

"So wait, you've never helped out Big Mac with his issues, and just used him to solve yours?"

"…Gee, when you put it like that, Ah sound awfully terrible. Wonder why he never asked me to do it."

"Maybe he's just not into girls?"

"That's a joke, right? You don't think he's actually…? Oh that's just terrible if he is."

"What? You don't approve of him liking men?"

"Only on the part where you can't get men pregnant. If Big Mac can't have children, then it falls to me to raise a family…"

"What about Applebloom?"

"What kind of older sister would Ah be if Ah just dumped the responsibility on my younger sister like that? No, Ah got to start looking for a boyfriend….. And Ah just realized now that Ah've never even had a boyfriend my entire life. Ah don't even know where to begin to get one!"

"Hey, don't worry Applejack. I'll help you out!"

"You? You don't even have a boyfriend either!"

"What? Sure I do!"

"Oh yeah? Name him!"

"He's name is…. Um… Feather Racer."

"….Rainbow, that is the most made up ridiculous name Ah've ever heard."

"Hey! Don't insult the name of my boyfriend!"

"Interesting, I always thought Dash was a lesbian." You jump as you hear Pinkie talk right into your ear. Somehow she managed to sneak right up to you without a sound.

"Holy shit, Pinkie, what are you doing?" you hiss as to not alert the other girls.

"Eardropping, just like you, though our ears sit pretty good to our heads so I don't know why they're calling it that." As usual, she made little to no sense.

"I wasn't ear dropping, I was just passing by and the door was open. Anyway, I'm off to take the Mother Test."

"Hmm, I don't think it will go like you think it will," Pinkie says thoughtful.

"What, did your Pinkie Sense tell you that?" You had your doubts about this sixth sense of hers but it had yet to be proven wrong. Heck, even Twilight had some respect for it.

"No, it's more that they are canon which makes them a really good couple. Just don't expect too much, she's the Princess of love after all." With that, Pinkie goes down the opposite way, humming to herself and jumping an invisible hopscotch.

You shake your head, sometimes you think she's planning things in advance just confuse everyone. You can still hear AJ and Dash talking but decide to move on. Their voices start to die down as you round the corner until you can't hear them at all. At the end of the hall you can see Shining Armor walking down with a smile on his face and a bag in his hand.

"Looks like I'm sleeping on the couch as it were, tonight. Taking up one of the guest rooms, it seems. Good luck on the test," he says.

You stand there, trying to comprehend what you are witnessing. Here you are about to head to the bedchambers of this man's wife, and he's smiling away as if nothing is wrong.

"How can you be so calm? Do you not know what I'm about to do?"

"Sure! You're about to take part in the Parental Femininity Conscientiousness Act sub rule in which you are to prove how good of a husband you are going to be to my sister."

"By sleeping with her! Doesn't that upset you in the least?"

"Look," Shining's entire 'nice guy' tone suddenly dropped so fast, it takes you by surprise. He looks down at you, with the stare of a disciplined military soldier. "Do you think I don't know what is going on? I am well aware of the situation at hand, far better than you are it seems. I am aware of the long standing tradition my family has had and what it means to them. If I had the slightest belief you were trying to use my sister so that you can use some loophole to ravage my wife within the law and bring harm to my sister, I would have locked you in the deepest, darkest cell we have. Not because that would be your punishment, but to save you from the beating you would receive from me! I come from a line of powerful unicorns, and my magic could do some terrible things to you. But even if I held back on the magic, I am strong enough to break every bone in your body. So the real question you have to ask yourself is ' Why is Shining Armor not snapping my spine in two?" Shining looks down at you and you feel the sweat drops of terror run down your forehead. "Because Cadance trusts you." You go from fear to confusion in record time. How could she trust you when she had barely spoken to you?

"Cadance is the Goddess of Love." Shining continued. "She can see right into the heart and soul of anyone she gazes at. She told me after meeting you today that she saw love in your eyes. You deeply love my sister, and you are here at her request to pass a test from a tradition you barely understand. All for her. And I trust the word of my wife. So because of that, I'm leaving you alone with Cadance, to take the test." He walks past you.

"Wait," you call after him and he turns. "I just need to ask about something. It's pretty embarrassing but I just need to know." He just waits for you to ask. "Well, uhm, I was recently told that people here in Equestria have some different rules surrounding family and something pretty… intimate."

"Please, you are about to enter my wife's room alone with the intent of sleeping with her, I doubt it can be any more embarrassing than that."

"Right," you chuckle nervously. "The thing is that… has Twilight ever performed oral sex with you?"

Shining stood a minute and just looks at you without a hint of shock or surprise. "I think you should ask Twilight about that, she is your girlfriend after all and you two should really be open to each other about such things."

With that he walks off down the corridor, leaving you alone outside the door. Pushing the big double door open, you step into the room. It was very much like the room Twilight had gotten, only more decorated with pictures and other objects that made the room more personal than the guest room. On the heavenly bed with see-through pink drapes sits the princess, still with her dress from earlier on. You want to say something but she comes before you.

"You are wondering why your luggage was moved into this room, right?" You nod. "It was the best way to make sure you showed up with clothing on." You blink, did she think you would run around the castle naked or something?

"So now that I'm here, what do I need to do? Should I take my pants off first or-?"

"That will not be necessary. You'll be keeping them on for the entire night."

"Really? But then how do we…?"

"Oh, that part is easy. I won't have sex with you." You blink in surprise.

"O-okay?" You really didn't expect this, she seemed very okay with it earlier that day but now she totally rejected the idea.

"You look shocked, let me explain." She pats the bed beside her and you take a seat next to her. "I know how much keeping the tradition means for sweet Twilight but being the Princess of Love I can't stand the thought of being unfaithful to my beloved Shining. Even if he can."

"That is actually quite understandable Princess, I think you should stay true to him no matter what."

She giggles slightly. "Spoken like a true romantic."

"But if you didn't like the idea, why didn't you turn it down?"

Cadance sighs. "When I received the letter from Twilight, I was shocked. I knew she and I were close, but to be chosen for this, she had considered me one of her motherly figures. I was trusted and beloved to Twilight as Celestia herself, not to speak of her own mother, to test the man she would spend the rest of her life with. How could I refuse such a letter?"

You could easily see how devastated Twilight would be if she had rejected her letter."So is that it then?"

"No, unfortunately I can't just give you approval without testing you in some way, that just wouldn't be fair." There goes your small hope for an easy getaway. "Besides, Twilight would find out. There's no way you would be able to keep it a secret from her. Nor [i]should[/i] you keep such secrets from her. Twilight would be devastated if I didn't go through with the test."

"Now you're just confusing me. If I can't take the test-"

"Oh, you are taking the test. You're just not sleeping with me."

"What? But isn't that…"

Cadance clears her throat for a moment. Then reaches her hand out as if to grab some invisible document and she closes her eyes and speaks. "Parental Femininity Conscientiousness Act sub rule 42m- 'The Matronhood Appraisal Act', requires the groom to perform an act to prove himself capable of the skills of satisfaction and procreation to a 'motherly' figure of the bride." She opens her eyes and faces you. "The rules say you have to prove your good at sex. But it doesn't say you have to have sex to prove this. That is why I have decided I'll test you in foreplay, that way we can get around having a type of sex without you having to stick your penis in me ...Sorry, that last part sounded so wrong."

"None taken. So you want to test my skills of teasing?"

"Indeed. I'm sure Velvet skipped over such. She was never big in foreplay." You blink

. How did Cadance know about- you recall what Twilight had told you about the test back home. [i]'It was called the 'Parental Femininity Conscientiousness Act'. You see, way back then, in order for a bride to prove herself worthy of being wed to the groom, she had to perform a series of tests for her soon-to-be father in law in order to be given consent to the marriage.'[/i]

Oh no. Cadance….You shake the mental thought out of your mind and try to concentrate on the task at hand. "How do you want me to start out?" you ask.

"Good, you let the woman choose first, that's very gentlemanly of you. As you probably have had some practice with earlier, I want to see how good of a kisser you are. I don't see kissing or oral as being unfaithful since that's considered okay between siblings."

"Okay then," you say and try not to think too deeply about what she just said. "So you just want me to kiss you and then… just go from there?"

"Yes, try to let it be as natural and passionate as possible."

You take a deep breath to calm yourself. "Okay then."

You put your hands gently on her shoulder and put your lips to hers, tilting your head slightly to the left. You imagine it's Twilight, her faint scent of licorice tickling your nose, her incredibly soft skin and her luscious long hair. However, Cadance was a more careful kisser than her and she had more of a strawberry odor which cracks your imagination and disturbs your kissing.

"You're thinking of her right?" she asks as you break the kiss. "Don't do that, thinking of another whilst kissing will only distract you. Don't fool yourself by imagining her and instead think of the person you're kissing, okay?"

"Oh. Okay, sorry." You feel embarrassed but try again nonetheless.

You lean in and kiss her again, this time instead of imagining Twilight, you try to enjoy her taste and scent. It feels weird kissing someone else than Twilight this way, last time you'd kissed someone else it was a heat-of-the-moment thing but this was a more passionate setting. You give in to it as much as you can allow yourself and you start to push her back into the bed and she lets you do so. You attempt to deepen the kiss, pushing your tongue easily against her teeth which she agrees to by letting you enter. You find yourself enjoying this deep embrace with her, not as much as with Twilight of course but still pretty pleasurable. Her taste isn't a distraction any more as you don't expect it to be Twilight but instead inviting and teasing you to continue.

"Okay,I gotta admit," she says as you take a breather with the kissing. "You have been very well trained with kissing at least. Now, I want you to proceed to tease me but any wrong move and I'll stop you. Got it?" She has a undertone of strict authority as she speaks to you.

"Yes, I've got it." You start to feel the same nervousness you had with Twi's parents.

"Good, I'll guide you a little at first just to help you along. Now then, you need to begin to eager me, try making me want this as much as you do but don't be too forward. You think you can do that?"

"Of course, at least I will give it my best shot."

You start by placing gentle kisses along her neck with one hand on her arm, stroking it slowly. She seems pleased about your approach since she hums pleased into your ear. After a while you let your other hand drift lower down and you temptingly touch her leg. She doesn't give you any signal to stop so you gently try to tickle her but she puts her hand on yours and makes you hold around her leg.

"You need to be a bit more forward, you won't get anywhere with just barely brushing a woman's leg. With moving further up the leg on the other hand, that might need to be taken slowly."

You do as she says and stroke her smooth, bare leg, inching a bit more up each time as you go back to kissing her. You feel yourself reaching her thigh and soon her hips but stop a second as you find a thin string instead of the anticipated silk fabric. Realizing she's wearing a thong instead of panties, you wonder if she might have planned it, maybe to see your reaction. Her breath quickens as you start to ease the strings off her hips and down her legs. You control the urge to penetrate her with your fingers just yet and instead feel her stomach just above her groin.

It's now easy to tell that she's excited so you lower your hand so the bottom of your palm meets her clitoris. She hicks slightly in surprise but doesn't to push you away, meaning your risky game works. You begin to move your hand in circles, rubbing the sensitive spot when Cadence's horn lights up with a pink glow. She doesn't seem to register it herself which was impossible since you need to consciously think of the spell to use magic. You suddenly notice that her magic is grabbing your shirt and before you know it, your shirt is ripped open, sending the buttons everywhere.

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry," Cadence gasps. "I knew I had forgotten- sweet Celestia, what happened to your chest?"

"I... I got a bit of a rough treatment by Velvet," you sigh.

"Then why haven't you healed them? Or Twilight for that matter? What are you actually thinking by not getting these treated?"

"I don't know any healing spells for muscles and I didn't want to give Twilight another thing to worry about. She has enough with the wedding plans and I thought it would at least look better than this for the next part but it didn't."

There was a moment of silence. "You idiot."

You look at her. "Excuse me?"

"You're an idiot." She pricks you in the chest to mark the point. "How can you be so selfish?"

You are totally lost on her and the reawoken pain didn't help anything. "I-I don't..."

"When you're so close as you and Twilight is, you're suppose to share everything with each other. Sadness, joy and pain, that's what couples do, talk about their feelings. You think she is better off not knowing you've been suffering because of her?"

"No, of course not! It's just that it seemed like a meaningless thing to add on top of the wedding planning. Trust me when I say I regret not telling her since it has been nothing painful for me in more than one way."

She looks at you for a while. "I understand, you saw it as a personal problem that would fix itself. At least you see the mistake of not telling her." Another pause from both of you before she claps her hands together as she decides on something. "Tell you what, I add a little to the test and I'll help you with those marks and the secret about them will just be between you and me. Deal?"

You shake your head. "No, it would be wrong to hold it a secret. I can agree to your term if you help me heal but Twilight needs to know."

"Smart choice," Cadance nicks. "Do you want me to tell her?"

"No, I can do that myself. It was my mistake to her so I should own up to it myself."

She puts her hands on your shoulders. "That's what I want to hear. I can tell you're gonna be a great husband to her if this continues. Let me just get the extra thing for the test and I will fix you right up." She scoots out of bed and heads for a dresser. "Please turn, I want it to be a surprise."

You can't say you like the thought of a surprise like this but it couldn't be worse than the marks so you do as she says. "So what happened with your magic just now? It didn't seem like you did it on purpose."

"No, I didn't. Being the element of love means my magic gets more powerful with the influence of love. Even passion can strengthen my magic, though its not nearly as powerful as true love. It was with this power I and Shining Armor were able to repel the changeling horde. However it can get too much and with my mind lost in the moment, the magic builds up and starts to acts on it's own. Luckily I have something to keep it under a lid, I just forgot it for a moment." You hear her pull up a zipper. "Okay, you can turn around now." You turn and your jaw drops.

Cadence had changed into a somewhat tight, pink nurse uniform complete with white stockings and a small nurse headwear. You notice a light purple ring around the base of her horn as well, probably the security for the loose magic. She giggles at your expression and comes back to the bed.

"It's just that I have this little thing for cosplaying after Shining wanted to experiment. Do you think it suits me?"

"Very," you manage to say. "A little bit too small but I guess it's suppose to be like that."

She sits down across your legs facing you. "Correct. Now lay on your back and I will ease the pain."

You lay back as she places her hands on your chest. Her horn lights up again and you can feel her hands becoming warmer, a warmth which spreads through your whole body which puts your tense body to a rest. Looking down you see the scars closing beneath her fingers and the burning cooling down. The magical glow fades and she removes her hands and you see every trace of the incident is gone.

"Feeling better?"

"Better than ever," you say amazed. "Thank you so much." You try to sit up again but she pushes you down.

"Sorry but not everything comes for free. You have to repay the favor, remember?" You see her smile slyly and you get what she wants.

"With pleasure." You grab hold of her legs and turn to the left, making her fall with a yelp on the bed and you now on top.

You lean down and kiss her as passionately as you can with your hands on the lining to her stockings. As your kisses starts to go down her neck again and further down her chest, you smoothly let your hands go back to their positions before you got disturbed. But you reconsider it and instead put your hands on her waist, going for what you think will be a more acceptable approach.

As you go back to kissing Cadence deeply, you slide from her lower body and up to the sides of her chest. She gives you approval with a deepened moan and you cup her breasts. They feel very round and soft in your hands, smaller than Velvet's but you find it easier with Cadance's C-cups. Squeezing them gently, Cadence hums loudly into your mouth, you clearly found a sensitive spot.

"Wow," Cadence says a bit breathtaken after the kissing. "I got to say you're making a fast recovery. I must be a better nurse than I thought."

"The best nurse there is, but you seem to be a bit too hot, you better stay in bed." You don't know why you said that, it sounded stupider than the brief second it passed through your head.

Cadance giggles. "A compliment and a joke, that's good. It's important to give compliments but it also depends on the situation. Now, what's your next step with me?"

"I would loosen that outfit of yours to counter that rising fever you seem to have."

She smiles seductively. "Alright then 'Doctor', would you be so kind?" She struts her chest so it sits even tighter to the point you think the button will pop off.

You manage to unbutton it, revealing a thin, pink bra. Her nether region had been barely covered with the length of the dress but now that it was gone, it was open for all to see, and with all you mean yourself and her. There is a hint of sweetness in the air, the scent of female excitement but you choose to further tease her breasts. This was a test to see your foreplay skills so playing around a bit more could only help.

As you grab her tits you start to roll her perky nipples with your thumbs through the bra, making her shiver slightly in pleasure. Her horn starts to glow again and for a second you think its going wild again but since she had the ring it couldn't be. She puts her hands on yours and you feel as a boost of energy surges up your arms and filling some your body.

"Consider it a 'good job' reward," Cadance smiles. "You look a bit worn out so I will give you a little for each time I think you deserve it."

"Then I better be on my best behavior."

You start going a bit rougher on her, pinching her nipples and little and squeezing her soft breasts. She moans in pleasure from your slightly rougher treatment and bite down on her knuckle as you continue to massage her chest.

You feel you kinda start to overplay the breast play so you begin making your way lower down while planting kisses down her stomach. You reach her waist and discover first now she has shaved herself so it looks like a heart, a cute touch. She is dripping wet, her outer lips glistening with her pre-juices and wet spots on the bed show she's been pretty excited for a while. Letting your tongue travel from the bottom to the top of her opening, she quivers with anticipation by you merely brushing over her pussy lips. The sweet strawberry smell is intoxicating so close and kind of makes you interested if she tastes as strong as the smell.

You use your thumbs to spread her lips a bit more before sticking your tongue a bit further in. A gasp escapes the princess as you stick your tongue into her royal chambers and begin lapping on her repeatedly. It doesn't taste as strong as you first thought, it had more of a mild taste but it didn't stop you from enjoying it nonetheless. You roll your tongue around her little nub, making her moan loudly and tugging the sheet hard.

Being busy teasing her clit, you barely notice her putting a hand on your head, sending another wave of energy into your body. As a way to repay her, you drill further into her which makes her throw her head back and groan in ecstasy. Even after giving you a boost of energy she still holds your head, tugging your hair a little as you continue to eat her out. You bury your tongue deep inside her as her breathing becomes short, high pitch gasps. You feel her walls starts to twitch and you know what's coming but you keep on driving your tongue around in her.

"Oh goddess, you have a good technique. It-it's too much for me, I'm gonna come, AAAH!"

Her back shoots up in a sharp arch as she screams at the top of her lungs. Her hand tenses up, forcing your face into her crotch with surprising strength as she spasms. Her legs clamp around your head and you can't do much other than drink her squirting juices which you gladly do.

"You have a very divine taste Princess," you say as she calms down from her climax.

"Please," she pants. "Just say Cadance. Now then, shall we move on to the next part?"

"What, you intend to keep going?"

"Why of course," she says. "It wouldn't be much of a test if it was just one thing. Please sit against the end of the bed."

You get off her and go to the top of the bed, resting your back against the wooden board. Still, even getting those surges of energy, you were breathing heavier than usual. It was mostly because the lack of oxygen just a minute ago but also a bit of tiredness. Cadance starts crawling on all four over to you in a very sexy, or predator-like, way before placing herself on your lap again.

"You poor thing," she says, now back in character of the sexy nurse. "You really don't look to well and you're burning up." She puts the back of her hand to your forehead. "I hope you didn't catch that from me. Let me try to kiss it better."

She starts tongue wrestling with you again and you put up as best you can but your full focus isn't quite there. Of course, you had become more than aroused by teasing her earlier and with the lack of pain to stop you, your erection is starting to ache with sexual tension. Yet, you push the thought back, embracing the kissing fully.

As you let your tongue dance in and out of your and her mouths, you let your hands stroke her back, slowly getting further down until you get to her round, well-formed butt. You squeeze it slightly and she moans approvingly. She moves closer to you, pressing her bare chest against yours as she puts her arms around your shoulders. Breaking off, a string of saliva hangs between you and she giggles embarrassed.

"You really have a trained tongue, in more than one way. It seems kissing it better only made your fever worse so why not see if these can help." She straightens up so that her chest is right in your face, putting her hands on her collarbone and sliding them down her curves till her stomach. "We can't leave anything untried to help you get healed."

"I'm willing to try anything Nurse Cadance." You grab her boobs. "For better health."

You carefully pinch her two perky, pink nipples and roll them between your thumb and index finger. She had made it clear she wanted to use your mouth but a test on your hand capability as well and she seems pleased with it either way. You pull ever so slightly at her breasts and she goes up an octave in her pleasurable sounds. Her bust feels soft and tender in your hands as you massage them, making her bite her lower lip.

After a while you think you've shown her enough with your hands so you lean forward and start sucking on her left teat. You roll your tongue around her little top, tasting her sensitive skin. She gasps in surprise and excitement by your sudden assault on her weak point and clutches your shoulders for a second before relaxing again. She tastes somewhat salty due to the sweat from the earlier excitement. You keep your hand on her right side, continuing to messag and pinch it.

You begin to nibble slightly on her breast, carefully biting her stiff nipple. Cadance seems to be totally on board with it as she screams ecstatically and in endless pleasure. With your right hand, you move it to her waist and further down between her legs. Her moist pussy lips feel smooth on your fingers and they get coated with her pre-juices pretty quickly. Wasting no time, you slip a finger inside her, setting off another loud cry of surprised joy.

"I think this is a bit unfair, you have an advantage over me. Here, let me even the odds." Before you know it, Cadance grabs your horn firmly.

A unicorn's horn is always a very sensitive part of the body much like wings are for a pegasi, alicorns are a bit more debatable since they have both. You were never really the person to jerk off with your horn, it just didn't feel quite right to you but now, having someone else touch it was different. Feeling her slender fingers grip around it and stroking it sent waves of pleasure directly into your head, making your already painfully stiff member twitch.

You counter her by adding one more finger into her womanhood and starting to pull them in and out. The speed isn't great but it does the trick on her as she cries out. For some reason you feel her sending a third bolt of power through your horn and you now feel like you could take the night with Velvet five times over. You're not sure why she did it but it helps you hold on a little longer.

You bite a little harder on her breast while pinching the other a bit more. Your fingers speed up as they plunge in and out of her. Her voice reaches new heights at this sudden attack but she keeps holding on to your horn. Her inner walls start retracting around your fingers and she pulls you suddenly against her body.

"Dammit, you're so fucking good at this," she pants into your ear. "Not even Shiny has managed to make me come twice with his hands. Oh goddess, I'm gonna- AAAAH!"

Your fingers get squeezed together inside her tunnel as they get soaked with a flow of her fluids. Her arms press you even closer to her and push your face into her bust as she screams, having climaxed for a second time that night. She seems to clutch you closely for what feels like minutes before she goes limp and falls onto the bed, heaving for breath. Your breath is quite rapid too from the power strain and for holding your breath but you don't feel much tired.

"That was really... something," Cadance finally says. "I will say you're quite capable of being a good lover for Twilight."

"Does that mean I passed?" It was pretty clear but you needed to be quite sure.

She sits up and notices your pants. "Oh, is that a side effect of my treatment?"

It was pretty difficult to hide the raging boner of yours. "It's okay, it's just a minor thing I can deal with myself."

"No, no, no, no. You have pleased me two times already and the least I can do is relieve you from what I've caused you. See this as the last part of the test."

"A-are you sure? I mean, you don't have to-" She puts a finger to your lips to shush you.

"I'm sure, now be quiet while I please [i]you[/i]."

She lets her finger drop and trails it down your healed chest to your pants, gripping the zipper and slowly pulling it down until your member pops out from its prison. She giggles slightly and you're not sure if you should be offended or just take it on the chin. A smile plays on her lips before she puts her hand around your length and begins to jerk you off. Starting slowly but building up speed, the princess leans down and licks the tip. The tension buildup almost makes you finish right there but you manage to keep it controlled, for now.

You must have let it show how much it pleased you since she smiles deviously before putting the head in her mouth. Letting her tongue roll over the sensitive tip of your dick, you sense the immense pleasure hitting you. You can't help but groan deeply by this which only eagers her more. She starts bobbing her head slightly as she keeps her hand stroking you, driving you closer and closer to the edge. However, you are determined to see this through to the end and fight the urge to just let it go.

She takes in more of your length and you feel her tongue run down the backside of it. The blowjob feels incredible after having it pain you under the whole test. The warmth and wetness of her mouth was absolutely wonderful and she just seemed to keep getting better for each bob. You start to thrust against her to help her with the job as she takes your whole cock. Having no room to use her hand, she instead use it to play with your balls. She treats them gently, yet in such a way that you can't hold back anymore.

"Cadance," you grunt but she doesn't slow down. "I-I can't hold it-"

"In my mouth," she says, taking your dick out and using her other hand to keep going. "I don't want to ruin the blankets."

You let loose the pent up pressure and aim for Cadance's open mouth. Streams of white, sticky cum shoots out, most of it hitting the target but a few going a bit off course and landing on her face. The bliss following your release makes the world around you spin and you fall back, out of breath for a third time, dizzy but not as tired as you should be. Your burning member feels almost detached with your elevated pulse pumping through it as you empty your last drops. Barely feeling it, Cadance sucks the last which didn't leave your cock and you hear her swallow it.

"That should take care of any illnesses between us and your side effect for a while. I hope I've been a good nurse."

"Better than best," you say as you get up in a sitting position. "So, how did I do?"

Cadance taps herself thoughtfully on the chin. "Well I've got to say you're quite on par with Shining. You have a few things which were at a bit lower standards than what I am used to but you're still young to sex. You [i]did[/i] have slightly better hand techniques but he's more pleasing in the act, which we won't test. You have a nice length on your tool, you held out well considering you teased me for so long and you gave quite the load seeing how I only replenished your strength and not your sperm amount."

"Okay..." You sit in anticipation; you thought you did pretty well despite the start.

"I'll have to say... you pass. With flying colors."

"Ooh, thank you. Thank you so much." A wave of relief goes over you and the last tense knots loosen. You didn't even realize you were tense.

"You're quite welcome, you have proven yourself worthy and I bet, no, I [i]know [/i]you will make Twilight happy."

"Trust me, I will do my very best each and every day to make her the happiest woman in the world." You hear how ambitious it sounds out loud but it's something you really intend on.

"I bet you will. Now, you might want to go back to her for the rest of the night. I will take my rest soon too so I will bid you good night." She bows a little and you bow back but you think of something you want to ask before leaving.

"Ehm, before I do so, may I ask you for a favor?"

"It depends," she says and crosses her arms. "What kind of favor?"

"I was wondering if you would mind teaching me the spell you used on me, the rejuvenation spell."

"Well I did plan to give it to you if it comes to a wedding but I guess a bit of practice with the spell before hand won't hurt. Okay then, follow my lead."

You start practicing the spell which turns out to be more complicated than you thought it to be. What it really did was convert your magical energy over to physical energy. It took a couple of tries before you managed it once in a very small amount but you were determined to get it right at least two times. As you practice you talk a little back and forth until you just have to ask.

"So how was the Mother test for you? I mean, we both dealt with them."

"Oh, well mine was pretty different from yours. I do think mine also have had an effect on yours."

You blink co confused. "Really? In what way?"

"I don't know if I should tell it, it's a bit embarrassing… okay fine, just remember I did it to be able to be with the person I love just as you and don't tell anyone, okay?"

Wow, this had to be quite the story. "I promise, my lips are sealed."

She looks around as if she expects someone to suddenly have appeared in the room. "Okay, so I had mine right after a class, I was in my finishing year of college but I knew Shining was the one for me…"

End of Chapter 3
