An au natural weekend: chapter 3: truth or dare
Applejack knew all of her friends very well, even more so since they all sat before her in nothing but their flesh. She didn't so much mind being naked, as long as the company was of her own sex, so she was one of the most comfortable of the girls next to Sunset Shimmer, who was practically a natural nudist herself. This was the problem that arose when she considered who to ask a truth from or challenge a dare to. Applejack knew Pinkie Pie was a nudist herself whenever she was home, and nothing much would embarrass her, so challenging her to a dare was more or less fruitless. Then, she looked over to her right and knew exactly what to do next. This could be fun.
"Rarity!" she said, pointing to her purple-haired friend. Rarity placed a hand upon her bosom as if to ask "who, me?" and looked nervous. "Truth or dare?"
Rarity considered this, knowing how much her friend knew about her already. There were certain things she did not want her friends to know about her, and Applejack would likely choose something humiliating for a dare. She was stuck.
"Um…dare!" she said, goosebumps appearing on her bare flesh.
"I dare you…to kiss me." Applejack said with a grin.
The girls all either gasped or laughed, unaware their cowgirl friend was so sexually inclined to members of her own sex. Applejack smirked and adjusted her hat, the only article of clothing she currently wore, looking into Rarity's eyes.
"Oh, and I forgot. The rules are if you can't do a dare or tell the truth, you get a demerit." Twilight said, adjusting her glasses, also the only article of clothing the girl was allowed to wear since she was almost blind without them. "Three demerits and you lose."
Applejack snickered as she expected Rarity to give up, turning to the other girls and smiling. Suddenly, a pair of familiar, soft hands grabbed the naked cowgirl and spun her around, turning her to face Rarity. The pale fashionista then pulled Applejack close and kissed her, tipping her over her arm and making her blush as their lips were pressed tightly against each other's.
"Wow. That is…more than I expected." Rainbow Dash said as she sat on the couch, raising an eyebrow as Rarity and Applejack kept their lips pressed against each other, with Rarity's knees giving out as she collapsed to the ground. "Come on you two, are you at least going to come up for air?"
Rarity finally let go of Applejack as her friend fell flat on her back with a sigh. She then blushed dark red in realization of what she just did, shrinking down in nervousness. The naked cowgirl pulled herself back onto the couch with a look of utter bedazzlement on her face and hugged Rarity close, making her blush even harder.
"Applejack, darling…!" she said, shivering as she felt her farmer friend's hands touching her bare back. "Your hands are freezing! And please don't do that again here!"
There was a long silence as the rest of the Mane 7 stared in stunned silence, blinking.
"Wow that was hot!" Rainbow Dash said with a laugh as she slapped her knee. "Should we leave you two alone for a while?"
"Rainbow!" yelled Rarity, blushing even harder.
Dash just rolled over on her back and held her sides, laughing uproariously as if it was the funniest thing she had ever seen in her life. Sunset cleared her throat as she noticed Applejack giving Rainbow Dash a glare as she consoled her obviously humiliated friend.
"Um, the rules are, if you complete your dare or tell your truth you get to challenge somebody else." She said, hugging Twilight from the side. "So Applejack, your turn!"
Again she noticed her friend shivering as she touched her. Behind those glasses, she could see nervousness and…was that fear? She worried, wondering what could be bothering Twilight so much. She seemed to be pretty comfortable naked in the presence of other girls, so that wasn't it. Sunset was so tempted to read her mind with her touch, but kept herself from it. She wanted to leave her friend some privacy.
"All right Rainbow, since you seem so into this here game, I've got an idea for you." Applejack said with a grin as she hugged Rarity to calm her nervous friend. "I dare you…to use your super-speed and run through the whole town!"
The girls gasped, with Rarity giggling at the thought of Dash humiliating herself like that.
"Dammit, Applejack!" Rainbow yelled as she blushed darker than the shade of red in her hair. The blue-skinned girl kicked the door open and sped out in a flash of rainbow trail, disappearing for exactly one minute. Then, a rainbow streak flashed again, turning into Rainbow Dash, now out of breath and completely covered in sweat.
"There, you happy now?" she said as she blushed again. "I'm pretty sure at least one cop and a sewage-worker saw me! I practically tripped over the damn manhole when it popped up!"
"D'aaaw! You're so brave, Dashie!" Pinkie yelled as she ran forward and glomped Rainbow Dash from behind, knocking her over and landing in a heap on the ground. Rainbow Dash blushed and climbed to her feet as Pinkie kept holding her friend tightly around the waist.
"Okay, now it's my turn." Dash said as she tried to pry Pinkie's hands off of her waist. "Fluttershy, truth or dare?"
Fluttershy blushed and thought for a moment. She didn't like the idea of doing anything Dash would dare her to do.
"Um…truth." She said as she covered her large, firm breasts with her soft hands.
"Do you…own a dildo?" Rainbow said with a smirk.
Fluttershy turned redder than ketchup.
"Um…yes…" she squeaked, hiding behind her long pink hair.
Sunset's eyes bugged out at this. It surprised her that Fluttershy, the shyest, least outgoing of her friends, owned such a thing. Of course, there were similar devices in Equestria that mares used for pleasure, but usually they were built with straps to hold onto a mare's body to use on her partner. Humans also had these, but the sort without the straps were more commonly used.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with that." Twilight said as she patted Fluttershy on the back. "You know we all get those urges. It's a response to the body's hormones and cravings for-"
"Okay, that's enough." Rainbow said as she rolled her eyes. "Fluttershy, your turn."
"Um…Rarity." Fluttershy said, hiding behind her pink hair. "Truth or…dare?"
Rarity perked up, looking over at the butter-yellow girl next to her. She wasn't sure either way. Fluttershy was so innocent she was sure either way would be safe.
"Truth, darling. And don't be shy, that's my job right now." She said as she leaned into Applejack, her firm breasts pressing into her friend's chest.
"Have you ever…um…gone commando?" Fluttershy asked.
Now it was Rarity's turn to blush.
"Well, darling…there are those occasions where a girl likes to let her ladyparts breathe." She said, looking around the room as everyone looked at her. "That is to say, yes, I have."
"Wow, that's braver than I could be." Twilight said as she blushed darker. "I can't even go one day without a bra without feeling kind of self-conscious."
Applejack hugged Rarity closer as an air of relaxation set over the seven naked girls present. Pinkie's house was surprisingly quiet as the girls looked around each other, with Sunset clearing her throat to ease into another conversation.
"Okay, Rarity, it's your turn." She said, brushing her bacon-colored hair out of her eyes. "Who do you want to ask?"
"Pinkie pie!" Rarity said with a grin. "Truth or dare?"
Pinkie perked up immediately.
"Ooh, I think I'll do dare!" she said, jumping up and down and making her sizable breasts bounce with every jump. "Ooh, I'm so nervouscited!"
"I dare you…" Rarity said as she thought for a moment. "…to…"
It was tricky to come up with something that could actually embarrass Pinkie Pie, so Rarity had to think for several minutes before she came up with something.
"…to…be handcuffed to Rainbow Dash for the entire night, while wearing a strap-on!"
The girls all gasped, with Pinkie's gasp lasting at least 5 minutes.
"Whoa, hold on there, Rar-" Rainbow Dash Started to say.
"CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!" Pinkie screeched as she turned into a blur of pink.
She then disappeared, reappearing with a pair of handcuffs and a strap-on dildo attached to her crotch. She then immediately snapped the handcuffs to Rainbow's wrist and her own and started hugging her, the dildo rubbing up against her friend's hips.
"Rarity! Why did you do that?"
"Because you humiliated me earlier with Applejack! No offense, darling."
"None taken, Sugarcube." Applejack said as she kissed Rarity on cheek, making her blush.
"All right, now it's my turn to choose." Rainbow Dash said as she tried to pull Pinkie off of her, the action being very difficult to perform when she was handcuffed to her.
She looked around the room and turned to Twilight, who was shyly looking down at the ground.
"Twilight!"
Twilight blushed.
"Yes, R-Rainbow?" she asked.
"Truth or dare?" Rainbow asked with a grin.
Twilight adjusted her glasses for a moment and gulped.
"Truth…?" she said nervously.
"Are you in love with Sunset Shimmer?" Rainbow asked as she finally gave in to being hugged by Pinkie Pie, who practically glomped her and knocked them both to the ground, the dildo coming uncomfortably close to her nether regions.
The girls all gasped, turning to Sci-Twi as she covered her face in her hair.
"Well?" Rainbow asked as she smirked, raising an eyebrow. "Are you?"
Sunset blinked in surprise, turning to her purple-skinned friend. Twilight turned and tried to leave for the kitchen.
"I think…I'll get some snacks!" she said as she nervously left, her bare body outlined by the light from Pinkie's kitchen. Sunset reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her back with a laugh.
"Twilight, there's nothing to be ashamed of, it's only a game-!"
Suddenly, Sunset's eyes glowed white and she drifted into Twilight's mind, sensing and feeling everything her friend did…
"I can't help it…I can't stop thinking about her." The image of Twilight said to Spike as he climbed onto the bed. "But I'm scared…I'm ashamed of myself for feeling like this but it feels so right. I just don't want to ruin our friendship!" twilight curled up on the bed and snuggled Spike as he pawed her gently.
"Don't worry about it, just try and break it to her slowly." Spike had said to her. "And if she doesn't feel the same way, you two can still be friends. Besides, Timber Spruce seems to like you, too."
"And that's the thing, I find myself…craving…both of them!" Twilight had said, her large purple eyes filled with tears. "But I'm stuck between them and even though Timber Spruce is about three years older than me, I still like him. But I worry that every time I see Sunset, I'll keep wishing I could hold her and…kiss her…and…and…"
Twilight then burst into sobbing tears, curling into a tight ball on the bed and hugged Spike as tight as she could, her tears soaking her pillowcase.
"What if I get sent to one of those camps for lesbians and bisexuals? Those camps where they force you to take apo-morphine and…spray you with water…and…force you to…touch…people of the opposite sex…until you can't be a lesbian anymore?"
"Twilight, no one will do that to you!" Spike had said, snuggling into Twilight's arms.
"Maybe no one I know, but what if someone else hears? Someone at school tells someone else…and I get taken away?" she hugged Spike closer and sobbed uncontrollably. "I don't want to risk it! Please don't tell anyone, I don't want my friends to know…"
Sunset pulled back and blinked, blushing as fiercely as Twilight now was. She looked into Twilight's purple eyes, which were wide and frightened. Her friend's heart was pounding like a drum as tears streamed from behind her large glasses.
"Twilight, I-" Sunset started to say.
"I'm going to bed." Twilight said as she turned around and walked away, her nude purple body disappearing into the bedroom she was going to share with Sunset.
There was an uncomfortable silence as the six remaining girls stood still, looking at the bedroom door.
"What's wrong with her?" Rainbow Dash asked as she turned back to Pinkie Pie, who was still wearing the strap-on.
"Well girls, I guess that's all for tonight." Sunset said as she looked at the clock.
It was pretty late, around 1:45. The street lamps were the only light outside as the girls split off, with Rarity and Applejack walking down the hall arm in arm and Pinkie and Rainbow Dash bouncing in step with each other as they entered the bedroom they were sharing and started brushing their teeth. Fluttershy slowly walked towards her room and turned to Twilight and Sunset's room as Sunset knocked on the door.
"Twilight? Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'm fine." Sci-Twi responded through the door.
"May I come in?" Sunset asked as she knocked.
"Sure, it's our room anyway." Sci-Twi said, her voice sounding very small.
Sunset turned to open the door before Pinkie tapped her on the shoulder.
"Sunset? Maybe don't go too quickly with this." She said as she looked into Sunset's eyes. "Take it slowly with her and try and make her feel better and give her hugs and kisses and wrap her up in blankets until she looks like an adorable little cocoon and then sing to her-"
"Pinkie, I'm losing my buzz here!" rainbow Dash's voice came from the room, sounding rather sultry.
"Coming Dashie!" Pinkie said as she quickly whispered to Sunset. "Just talk to her."
Sunset stood naked and alone in the hallway, remembering when she first heard about 'conversion therapy'. It was a barbaric practice by Equestrian standards, and had not been practiced in several millennium. In the distant past it had been used sometimes among the original pony tribes, but it had resulted in nothing but mental illness and suicides. As such, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had ordered it to be outlawed over 5,000 years ago when they first started their reign as leaders of Equestria. Same-sex pony marriage had been legal in Equestria ever since, and had become so commonplace that roughly 1 in 10 marriages in Equestria were to a gay or lesbian couple. Sunset took a deep breath and entered the room.
"Twilight?" Sunset called again as she opened the door. "Are you okay?"
Her orange skin shone in the dim light as Twilight walked forward, her large eyes were red behind her glasses and her face was tearstained. She had been brushing her teeth, and she smelled like sweet mint.
"S-Sunset, I'm sorry I j-just left, I-"
Sunset just wrapped her arms around Sci-Twi and hugged her close, their bare bodies feeling soft and warm against each other.
"Twilight, I would never do anything to hurt you, and I will never let anyone else hurt you." she said as she gently kissed Twilight's ears, making her squirm. "And if you are gay or bisexual, it doesn't matter. You're my friend and I would never reject you or make you feel ashamed of who you are and what you feel and none of our friends will, either."
Twilight pulled off her glasses and wiped her large purple eyes with her hands, hugging Sunset again.
"Now, let's go to bed." Sunset said as she held Sci-Twi's hand, pulling her into the bedroom. "I'll be right there with you as soon as I brush my teeth. Just wait for me and I'll protect you from your fears tonight."
Twilight started crying again, her tears flooding from her eyes as Sunset held her close.
"You're my friend, and I'll always love you." she said as she kissed her, gently turning her towards the bedroom. "Now try and relax, I'll be right there."
Sunset quickly brushed her teeth in the adjoining bathroom, entering the bedroom they were sharing and taking note of Twilight's body language. She was sprawled out on the bed facedown and shaking with sobs, her arms hugging herself as if she were wearing an invisible straightjacket. Her glasses were laying on the bedside table, the lenses wet with tears.
"Twilight, don't cry. I'm right here." She said as she climbed onto the bed, her orange flesh a perfect complement to Sci-Twi's lavender skin tone. "I'll hold you all night long if that's what it takes."
"You p-promise?" Twilight said as she wiped tears from her large eyes.
"I promise." Sunset said as she wrapped her arms around Twilight, feeling her bare flesh against her friend's.
"Sunset?" Sci-Twi said as she held her hands on her own. "Thank you for being a listening ear."
"You're welcome." Sunset said as she kissed her. "And if you really want to…experiment…a little, or if you just need someone to talk to, just wake me and ask. I'm right here."
The two girls snuggled closer, drifting off to sleep in each other's arms. Sunset's heartbeat synchronized with Twilight's. Pretty soon, the two girls were in a deep slumber.
"That's my girl." Sunset thought as she gently kissed Twilight's ears.
She would help Twilight come to grips with her sexuality, and her friends undoubtedly would help. She knew that. The question was, would Twilight accept herself for who she was?
