Previously: after a very confusing conversation with Spike, Twilight learns that her assistant no longer care for the attention or love from Rarity who he once had a grievous crush on. Just a short while after that she meets up with Soul Hook who wants her to follow him. He leads her to Applejack who recently had a breakdown after her younger sister's decision to enter a love relationship with Zecora. The farmer-pony receives professional help from Winter Breeze, and right after the shrink's leave together with Soul Hook, Big Macintosh stops them dead in their tracks, claiming Soul Hook to be a murderer. In the heat of the moment, the dark purple colt smiles sinisterly to the accusation...

For the greater good

It was supposed to be a lovely afternoon for the beige pegasus mare without any care for her work which included the duty of helping ponies in need of psychological consolation and pedagogic treatment.

Still, she couldn't explain why she was in the Ponyville Clinic again, looking down at the dark purple colt laying in a hospital bed with a black eye so wide it could cover his entire face. She sighed from the chair right next to the bed, glancing everywhere in the room to find any moment of preparation for her well-trained education in teaching ponies to learn from their mistakes. Sadly, she didn't find any reasonable arguments, knowing this case was a very unique one compared to her other clients. But she was after all forced to take a step anyways, thus she finally looked down on her apprentice who held his standard look of indifference. There was an ice bag over his wounded and swollen eye.

"So... what did we learn today, Soul Hook?" she asked, sounding very tired and somehow very used to this scene before her.

The colt with the black mane and tail looked at his mentor, understanding she sought for his strike of insight.

"The moral of not provoking stallions three times your muscle mass?" he asked without much doubt, changing his facial expression into the slightly annoyed one.

The beige mare sighed and looked away. She had indeed found even more annoyance from her apprentice who behaved like he didn't care... like always. But this time it was different, so different it couldn't leave her mind no matter how hard she tried shaking it off. Was he playing with her? For all these years? No, he was just himself as always, even if she sometimes could question what kind of pony she dealt with anyways.

Those things he said. What did they mean? What was it all about? And most importantly of all, what was the deal with him being called a murderer? She had seen her apprentice's files, and it was no beautiful sight. Lots of those things written in black and white were probably more true than she even could imagine. But when it came to him being a murderer, she still doubted about everything. Even if Soul grew up to survive, he had never confessed to anything about killing other ponies.

Even if he was labeled as so many other things, the reason why the watch office of Fillydelphia widened their eyes when she said she wanted to take care of him wasn't because of that. If they knew he was a killer, they'd never let him leave the prison...

She looked over her shoulder, meeting the only visible dark green eye of the colt in the hospital bed. For a moment, her own eyes got stuck on the large pack of ice in a wet bag over his swollen eye. It looked like he had been hit by something with the size of a bigger rock, especially minding the damage he received which you couldn't see on the surface.

"How's the concussion?" she asked with a normal tone like she only cared slightly.

"No worries. My working seems to be brain...".

Both of the ponies froze like time itself died. None of them moved, breathed or even blinked. And it was at that still moment Winter Breeze chuckled and turned her head back to the colt.

"Oh my, Soul Hook... have I ever told you how much I just love your sarcasm sometimes even though it's not very healthy for you?" she said and decided to be a little playful by slowly pushing her fore hoof into his cheek, moving so smoothly it was more of a caress. The male just rolled his eyes, actually feeling kind of annoyed right back at his mentor just because he pulled that thing he learned from nopony else than her. Somehow, she must have forgotten it according to him.

But no, she knew exactly where that idea came from. And she was glad to see every little improvement in his personality and behavior. But what she liked even more was to feel her pad touching the dark purple fur...

"Miss Winter Breeze, are you going to keep your hoof there for much longer?".

Suddenly the mentioned mare widened her eyes in shock. She had been sitting with her hoof stuck on his cheek like that for quite a little longer while than planned.

"Oh! Heh, I'm sorry" She quickly withdrew her hoof and almost blushed when pushing back her glasses to the eyes. Fortunately for her, Soul Hook wasn't interested in knowing what that little thing meant, the door into his room was opening after all. From the lightened hallway to the dimly lit room she came, the white mare with the typical hospital headdress and the red cross on her flank. She wore a nervous smile as she walked over to the bed after leaving the door behind her open.

"Um... hello, miss. I, er..." she hesitated and shifted her eyes to the pony in the bed. "I'm just going to... talk about... something with you. Could you... you know, come out in the hallway with me?".

Winter Breeze could have been more surprised, but she had a strong feeling what this was all about. Thus, she glanced quickly at the male pony and then followed the white nurse from the room. Once the door closed behind them and they stood in the almost sterile hallway with lots of other ponies passing by, the nurse sighed out of relief and looked Winter Breeze in the eyes.

"Alright... the concussion is stable but it was a very good hit, so he should... well, remain here for the night before we can check him out" nurse Redheart explained, still sounding slightly nervous.

"So?" the pegasus mare responded, cocking an eyebrow to show that she expected a 'but' to come now. The nurse scratched her neck with a fore hoof, suddenly smiling sheepishly.

"Yeah, and it's about that. As I said, it's still only on the stable stadium and the doctor said he shouldn't do anything himself for the day. That means somepony has to help him with..." she had time to say until the shrink leaned a little forward, preparing to get very disappointed.

"Yes...?" she asked yet again to force out the answer.

And then the earth pony nurse realized there was no use being subtle about this. Another sigh escaped her mouth as she turned on the honest look in her eyes.

"We would like to ask you to help him with these things" she finally said very bluntly, which almost threw Breeze into a rage.

But she was a professional and fully aware there weren't many ponies who could take on this kind of dark and suffocating aura. From her point of view, it was ridiculous if you just got to know him. Of course, not everypony had the time for that and she cared for her apprentice. Thus, her own version of a sigh filled the air between them.

"Fine. But does this mean I even have to follow him to the restroom too?" the pegasus asked without any signs of seeing the opportunities this situation brought. Currently, she only saw all the embarrassing and degrading ones.

The nurse nodded. "He shouldn't try anything on his own, but I'm sure he can handle the rest as long as somepony can act as physical support for walking and... perhaps also help him with the food and...".

"Wait, what?" Breeze interrupted again, only not so annoyed anymore...

It had passed ten minutes since the colt in the lonely room was able to see his mentor, and a wonder began breeding in his mind. Shouldn't she be back yet? Even if he didn't expect of her to leave just like that, there was still a little thought telling him that was exactly what she had done. The swollen eye ached again, bringing him to adjust the ice bag a little while gritting teeth.

Suddenly, the door opened again. After a quick look at it, Soul could confirm that the mare he had spent a number of years with now finally had returned... with a plate clenched between her teeth and an extraordinary happy spirit. Breeze closed the door carefully with a hind hoof and practically trotted to the bed just so she could sit down on the chair right next to it and put the plate on her lap.

Soul Hook felt a chill crawling up his spine.

"Well, I've talked to the nurse and she said somepony has to help you for a little while until your concussion is fully stable" she explained while calming down her cheery mood. The colt cocked an eyebrow on his indifferent face, trying to ignore the suspicion where this was going. But the plate with a few simple hay sandwiches didn't relax him . Especially not when the mare took one up in her hoof and smiled at him.

"So I, as your mentor, took on that opp... I mean duty to take care of you".

Soul Hook furrowed his eyebrows as the sandwich got closer to his muzzle.

"Say 'ahh'...".

A torrent of discomfort and a tempest of confusion collided, creating a total chaos inside the colt's mind as he saw the virtually sparkling eyes behind Winter Breeze's glasses. His cold and annoyed expression made him lie still for another set of seconds with his look stuck on the mare trying to feed him.

"Is this for real?" he asked indifferently and glanced at the piece of bread and hay hovering before his mouth.

Oh, it certainly is, Winter Breeze thought and resisted the idea of nibbling her lower lip. The questioning could wait, the unprofessional side of herself said, convincing every resistant thought that this opportunity was not to be missed...


Two hooves blocked the sight, leaving no ability to see what was in front. But the hooves were meant to move away soon so whatever would get stuck in her eyesight. A little jolt of butterflies filled the pony's stomach as she got exalted herself, because this was the big moment of revelation and truth. A will to move the hooves occurred in the pony's head, thus it happened.

"Picka-boo!".

As Fluttershy made her gladdest and most kind expression of fun, the little unicorn foal sitting in a chair in front of her just stared angrily back.

"I'm not THAT small..." the rose pink Ruby Pinch pouted and leaned back over the table she and the mentioned adult filly sat around. A blush of embarrassment dressed both equines, leaving no space for more talk. Sadly, this yellow pegasus just did her best being fun and interesting, knowing a certain somepony would love to see it.

She was used to entertaining smaller critters and such, not ponies of any size and age. Sure, the cutie mark crusaders were one thing, but this little thing right next to her was made out of harder stuff. She glanced occasionally in the awkward silence, failing to get any eye-contact which started digging in her self-confidence and replacing it with nervousness; not too unlikely a mosquito sucking up blood and leaving itchy bacterias afterward.

Fluttershy looked away and around in the kitchen, seeing all the casual equipment and interior design of a sink, several cabinets on the walls, a oven right next to the sink, fridge and...

The bottles. In every corner there was a bottle right next to a cauldron or a kitchen knife. The room certainly could use some cleaning minding all the dishes from last night's dinner and some of the leftover ingredients ungracefully packed in small plastic bags. Even a pony naive as Fluttershy could understand the owner of this home did her best to preserve what resources of food there was for another time. Apparently, economy wasn't on her side.

"So how long are you staying?" the foal asked without turning away her pouting muzzle from the sink filled with dishes. Fluttershy jerked her head in surprise, not expecting a continuing dialogue after the silly thing that just happened.

"Um... I... I don't know. Your mommy said she just wanted me to sleep over for a few days" she answered reluctantly, actually not sure how long she was intended to be away from her cottage. After all, the animals needed her attention on a daily basis. Hopefully Angel could do the most important things at least.

Ruby finally glanced at the elder pony, scanning what she saw before using another word. "Will you leave then?".

Fluttershy was just a second from breaking down if it weren't for her thoughts surrounding other matters than this little pouting foal. Instead she lost all ability to further anything at all, even the regular art of staring at thin air. An ambiance of tension broke out, soon to be killed by a knight in alcohol-scenting armor.

"Don't be rude to her, Ruby. Fluttershy can stay here as long as she wants..." the plum colored mare said as she walked in from the living room.

Both other ponies turned to the wide doorway where she entered from, following her either by slowly turning the head or simply stalking in the corner of the eye. In the next moment, the mare known as Berry Punch had walked up to Fluttershy's chair and got up on her hindlegs so she could embrace the pretty pegasus around her soft shoulders, inhaling her innocent scent of flowers from the pink, long mane tickling her snout.

"She's your new momma, after all..." she then stated with just one eye open towards her precious daughter. Ruby didn't drop the angry face. Instead she just looked away in any other direction than her mother snuggling with the blushing filly.

"B-berry..." Fluttershy gently protested right before the sweet smooch on her cheek from the forward mare. The crimson beneath her eyes enhanced as she failed to resist the influence of warm emotions making her coo in delight.

Her state of calm was ripped apart by the will of a pony much younger than her, Ruby's so to say. The angry lips on her muzzle were still identical to her previous ones as she got off her chair, walked out from the kitchen and up the stairs. When her hooves couldn't echo out in the lower level of the house anymore, Fluttershy glanced at the warm mare heartily stroking her snout over the comfortable shoulder. In usual cases there would be hesitation, but usual cases hadn't been her company ever since everything began with Twilight's breakdown and Applejack's anguish.

"Um... B-berry?" she asked in a try to fight against the comfort and put her fore hooves over Berry's which were crossed over her chest.

"Hmm?" the elder mare answered, still drowning her nostrils with a smile in the mesmerizing scent by burying her snout in the yellow fur.

"I... Is there... s-something Ruby doesn't... um, like about me?".

The earth pony inhaled deeply through the snout to preserve the air, knowing she had to be focused when it came to serious question like this. Thus, she let go of the fragile filly and walked on all four to the chair her little foal recently sat on. When her behind parked on the hard thing, it seemed she would love to take her time before beginning any form of explanation. But with the helpful fate of a glance, she found herself staring deep into the beautiful cyan eyes of a concerned pony.

"Ruby... is still taking her father's... " she paused and gesticulated with her fore hooves. "... disappearance... a little hard. I told her he was gone, that he'd never come back. I'd hoped she'd be too young to remember him, but I was wrong...".

Fluttershy noticed how her marefriend changed her tone, it was much grayer and bitter now together with her hesitating eyes. But properly raised as she could call herself, she remained a good and listening pony like always when Berry crossed her forelegs on the wooden table and leaned down on it.

"She knows who we are... and just like every foal in the world, she want her parents to be together and love each other. Like it's... 'supposed' to be. But with things being the way they are... I can't give her that. I simply can't go back to him, not after everything he did to me, not after what ponies in my surrounding finally did...".

Berry didn't sob or broke tears, but Fluttershy was already on the edge to that, which evened it out in someway. The mare paused for a silent moment, giving her company and lover the time to blink a few times. Her eyes were a little gloomy and tired all of a sudden.

"I just want my daughter to have the very best I can give her. So I tried finding her a new parent to love, a pony she could see as anything else than an intruder..." she tried to end, which jerked the filly's ears and left eyebrow.

"In... truder?" she asked in disbelief.

The elder pony nibbled her lips in a perfect timing with the words repeating themselves in her head. She had said too much, but if you already have said the first letter of the alphabet, you eventually had to say the last one too.

She rubbed her forehead with a fore hoof in distress. "Whenever I told her about a new pony coming to visit, she cried. She asked me with tears in her eyes why I abandoned her dad, why I didn't love him and... lots of other things. In the end, she finally decided to do her best. Being mature for her age, she already knows what happen if two ponies in love share a bed...".

Fluttershy felt a rock hitting her heart from a high altitude, breaking into pieces on the inside when the awful realization struck her.

"She... wanted to sleep in our bed and hold onto you... just so we couldn't make love... clever little thing..." Berry ended with an unintended giggle and broke the eye-contact to look down at the table again.

In that instance, the yellow mare had never felt so unwelcome her entire life. Suddenly, she could feel the waves of dislike coming from upstairs like a well-placed puff of wind. A voice was fast inside her head to tell she should leave and never come back, break up with Berry and perhaps even apologize to Ruby for her selfish behavior. But then another voice took shape, reminding her why she still remained even though her sexual desire didn't actually aim for mares.

A battle of arguments carrying weak to strong reasons why the other one was wrong. It was of no use, as soon as one combatant fell, another one rose up.

So that was her reason for just getting up from the chair and hide her face behind the mane before turning around towards the door. In the background she heard the third voice, the only one having a physical source.

"F-fluttershy?".

No, ignore it, the mentioned pegasus thought. She was convinced her mere presence brought nothing but pain and misery to the remains of this family, just another reason for her to leave the need and lust behind her cold, rejecting back.

"Fluttershy!".

On the path just a few hooves away from the main door, she could hear the scraping of Berry's chair as she also got up on all four. The voices in her head grew stronger just like the third one.

"FLUTTERSHY!".

In the fading echoes, the timid and fine pegasus had opened the door in haste and flapped out her wings to escape.

The last scream calling out her name was incoherent. Behind her, she left a mare on her hind knees, crying out the tears she held back earlier. Berry knew this would probably be such a sensitive and fragile pony's reaction. And that was why she was perfect for her... the reason why her tears didn't stop while staring at the warm afternoon sun above the Equestrian mountains.

In Fluttershy's wake, there was a trail of salty tears raining down.


In the Ponyville library, inside the only bedroom there was in this hollowed out tree, a lone figure had decided to take place in what he could call his true resting place. A noise followed him and filled the air surrounding his little basket, a noise you could hear ever so often in a certain boutique not too far away from here. But this noise was only resembling, not identical. If it would have been held by a unicorn's magic, clear and graceful snaps should echo.

But these snaps were harsh and merciless, clinging out a painful symphony of steel licking steel as the two pieces cut off yet another piece of paper.

"But Spi~ike... you're a drago~on" he said to himself with a degrading whiny tone. "And I'm a pony~y! Isn't it obvio~ous? We could never, ever be anything more than frie~ends!".

An injection of anger pumped through the purple dragon's veins, arching his eyebrows as another cut from the steel damaged what he held between his claws.

"When... when I cried while falling? Oh my~y, Spike! Didn't you understand? I felt sorry for you! I was flattered, of cou~urse! But in all matter of seriousne~ess, it was just pity! It was pity, Spike, do you understand me~e? Pity... pity... pit...".

His voice died out as the snap grew tedious. In the end it didn't even move. But as the anger turned into something much darker and passionate, his slit-irises narrowed into almost nothing as he stood up in his basket like lightning sent him up.

"NO! I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT! I THOUGHT YOU FINALLY UNDERSTOOD AND JUST WANTED IT TO BE A LITTLE THING BETWEEN US, YOU MANIPULATIVE, SELF-OCCUPIED WHORSE!".

His rage caused a flame of uproar to lit his soul, reflecting its might through his green eyes. His right hand tossed away the scissor, sending it flying a few meters before falling lifelessly to the floor.

"You... you even kissed me and... and... valued my gift to you. And even when you found... f-found out I was the monster who almost ruined Ponyville and put you into life-threatening danger... you still nuzzled my cheek afterward and smiled...".

His basket was stained with sorrow, drip by drip from the furious eyes. Then he felt like sitting down again, shivering out the pain as he held his right hand over where his heart kept beating.

"Didn't... you understand how I'd react, Rarity? Didn't you have... t-the tiniest clue? After saying all that... you just take it back? That... now that's just not fair!" he stated and dried his tears and sniveling nostrils. He looked down at the floor, beholding what he had been working on ever since he left Twilight to her breakfast. He had heard when she left, so he presumed there would be time for something... a little excessive.

In a massive puddle of shredded photos next to the little cozy basket, Spike had managed to cut out every little picture of the white unicorn known as Rarity's face and added it into a new image. They were once whole photos he had taken during different opportunities and then hid in his basket beneath the blanket. Hundreds of pieces laid in the pile, a result of all the strong emotions he once held but now had last all meaning.

When looked at from the correct angle, you could see all the dozens of Rarity's different expressions shaping one single word over the floor.

Generosity.

His sigh sounded like he truly couldn't care anymore. And when that puff of polluted air left his mouth, another inhale filled his lungs to the brim before unleashing a different kind of exhale. Green fire burst out, setting the large words on fire. Another inhale, another burst on the next letter. When each one had been sent on flames, he was still alone. But he actually felt more surrounded in a crowd now than ever before.

"You're... only generous when... you lie..." he sobbed and wiped the tears from his eyes.

The magical remains of smoke hasted out through the narrowly open bedroom window, leaving the dragon in misery as it continued past the borders of Ponyville...


Fluttershy's breath filled the air in front of her muzzle with warmth due to her weak gasping. She felt exhausted like she'd been flying for hours, overexerting her wings so much they ached and now just hung lifelessly over her sides. Each flap had been stronger than the previous. Surely she had traveled far enough to finally escape the home she almost ruined with her selfishness.

"Fluttershy..." a voice said behind her.

As the filly glanced over her shoulder, she could confirm that her extreme burst of power had drained everything she tried to do now. Berry Punch stood right behind her, and she had only been walking a few meters from the door.

But the pegasus ignored the fact that she most certainly had tensed her muscles too much. Even if it was obvious that such a weak flier like her couldn't come up in such high speed, she was supposed to at last do so when emergency appeared.

But not this time.

When it came to something like this which she never had experienced before, being the receiver of love from a mare several years older than her and now suddenly the center of attention for a little foal, it all grew way too surreal for her to digest. While stuck in her denial, she couldn't find the energy to avoid the mare approaching her. She wanted to keep fly or at least run, she didn't deserve any of this, she was a bad pony now, crushing the hopes and dreams of a little foal just so she..

Then she heard the stroke of a sob escaping Berry Punch, just the second before she could feel the body weight of this mentioned pony. As the plum colored forelegs once again grasped her body, Fluttershy fell back together with the pony, ending up hitting her behind on the strong lap while Berry herself had a taste of hard ground slamming her fine rump. A moderate holler went inside the yellow ears.

"Don't leave me, Flutter-sweetie! Please, don't do this to me! And especially not Ruby! Please!" she demanded, desperate to keep this little thing in her forelegs, signing she was hers no matter what. Fluttershy halted with wide eyes. Suddenly she didn't understand a thing, forcing her to look over her shoulder and glance at the mulberry mane caressing her neck. Berry's nuzzled the back, trying her best to stroke off her scent on the yellow fur and the pink mane.

With no warning, the eager mare proceeded to fondle the filly by moving her fore hooves down the plain chest, shamelessly rubbing them over the soft tummy with intentions to go further if needed.

"I can't let Ruby grow up with just one parent, she deserves better than that!" she argued with tears streaming down her flushed cheeks.

"But... but she doesn't l-like... me..." Fluttershy finally decided to protest, standing up for her kind ideals and unselfish sacrifice. It was her image of repaying for the damage she had caused according to her. But the physical vice just tightened around her waist as the desperate voice kept speaking.

"She will, baby! She will... I know she..." she calmed down and breathed a few times, gathered thoughts to ensure the reasons made sense even to herself, which they did. The purple hooves stopped moving around aimlessly, giving the yellow filly something to notice while Berry raised her head. Fluttershy looked over her shoulder again, leaning her light weight back into the warm embrace from her lover. Their breathes collided from the short distance between the two mouths.

"I can't... trust a s-stallion to be a nice and kind... family father. But when I see you..." she paused and moved a fore hoof up to the sweet cheek she loved touching so much.

"... I see a perfect role model for... well, the very heart of kindness! I totally understand why you... out of everypony is the bearer of that element, and I just...".

Berry almost broke together as a glimmer moved past the cyan eyes she stared at. The hint of a blush spread over Fluttershy's cheeks.

"I just want to say I love you whenever I see you. When you smile it feels like the sun is shining on me... a-and when you laugh, I feel so safe. Ever since our first night together... I..." she paused again and blushed, feeling weak when the truth came up. Her eyes fell down to the yellow shoulder for a second until she quickly turned them back to Fluttershy's.

"I... a-always pat the empty side of the bed when I wake up, hoping you're there before I open my eyes. And this might sound crazy saying so early, but...".

Fluttershy didn't move her expression.

"I... l... l-love you... I love you, Fluttershy".

She finally played that card and chewed on the lower lip, feeling ever so pathetic to say such embarrassing things. Was this even the place to say it? In the middle of an open street? What would she say, this pegasus which she squeezed in a half-hug right now.

"Berry..." Fluttershy almost began, forcing the mentioned earth pony to close her eyes and prepare for the scolding.

Why? Because that was what she always heard when saying it to her husband. A habit she wasn't supposed to carry, injustice smiting her all the way into the marrow. But it was her truth, the only one she knew of. And here she for once bet it all on one pony, finally using all the resources of courage and trust she had built up for this.

"B-berry... that..." the timid soul repeated, still seeming unmoved by what she just heard. But just like the warming sun in the sky, she found equal heat coming from this cute muzzle.

"Did... did you... r-really... m-mean that?" she sobbed up, widening the black pools in her eyes as her lips trembled. A tear fell down into the shivering mouth, the only physical sign that a huge amount of emotions swelled up. And as Berry hardly found understanding in what she just heard, an honest reflex caused her head to nod. She was confused and unprepared, especially when it came to hasty responses.

The kind pony moved her own forelegs up to lay one over the hoof touching her cheek and the other one warming her waist. A smile curved her wonderful lips in a most adorable arch resembling a foal's purest and honest joy. Her deep rings of cyan absorbed all attention, only casually disturbed by her quick blinks with the natural eyelashes.

Berry tried to gasp, but her lips only opened to let the warm breath in her mouth out. Her eyes were droopy and tired, yet still filled with heat and love. Wishes started invading her mind, turning around in the office of procession until only one idea remained. Her hoof touching Fluttershy's cheek gained pressure and in an instant forced the fragile pony's muzzle to her own. But this pegasus didn't resist, she just happily tilted her head more back to reach the mare of desires.

For a moment their lips felt like magnets, attracted and hardworking to reach their partner and matching pool. When the sets met, several ponies in the background stopped by just to see this scene many would have called 'milf on teen'...


"Well, I guess we'll see you later, A-J!" the rainbow maned pegasus waved good-bye as she flew gently next to Twilight the unicorn. "Don't forget to come by the library" she said, which triggered the pegasus again to finish that sentence. "But only when I'm there, of course! Ha ha, just kidding!".

The orange earth pony kept smiling while she waved a fore hoof at the two fillies of her dreams leaving the farm in the soothing sun and open blue sky. The stetson dressed her golden mane again, sitting perfectly like it always did, unlike her actual mood right now. As soon as the two equines were gone, Applejack dropped the smile and glanced over her shoulder with a sour set of eyebrows. She looked at the red barn where she knew a stallion waited for her inside. Whatever it was he wanted, it would better be good for his own sake.

The farmer-pony trotted up to the closed barn door and opened it, peeping inside to see the one and only Big Macintosh sitting next to a flat pile of hay which he had been using as comfort for his firm behind. His muzzle was hidden in the shade of the barn, where the sunlight didn't reach.

She sighed and took a step inside. "Alright, now spit it out ta me what was so important it had ta interrupt mah afterglow with...".

"Somepony knows..." the handsome stallion with the deep voice cut her off like nothing.

Applejack cocked an eyebrow as a syringe full of confusion hit a vein. "Uh... pardon?".

Big Mac turned his head to his sister, revealing the red muzzle in the light. His eyes were dead serious, meant to wash away any other kind of ambiances when it came to this subject he had to talk about.

"Ah said... somepony... knows, A-J...".

The cloud in her head only remained for another two seconds. Then, the addressed pony's eyes widened one after the other. A storm of worry and anxiousness brewed up inside her mind.

"Big Mac... you... no, you can't mean...".

As sweat broke from the orange forehead, the red stallion nodded... even though he wished he was kidding.


"Yes, yes, yes, sweetie! Just... hnng... like that, that's... hah... mommy's spot!".

In a mist of love maturing into lust, Berry Punch had hardly any time to lock the bedroom door behind her while Fluttershy ate up her lips and tongue, nor less time to turn off the light before her sweet lover already had dug through her cabinet to find the best toy this lone mother had acquired since her divorce.

"Ahhh! Harder! Harder! Fuck me...uhhh... h-harder, baby! I wanna feel... aah! It deep inside me! I want... hahh... all my pussy muscles to hug your cock!".

After just a short moment of fumbling with belts and straps, the purple mare sat stomach-to-stomach in the lap of her pony, embracing her yellow body with both forelegs and hindlegs to ensure she wouldn't fall off in each bounce. Her hips tensed relentlessly to cause the quick shakes, helping Fluttershy who sat on the bed with a straight back while doing her best to shake the mare up and down.

The reasons were very simple, Berry could feel her sweet and experienced marehood receive a strong pounding from the hard strap-on attached to the pegasus' pelvis. In usual cases outside the heat of passion and need, Fluttershy would have asked if the earth pony mare really could take such an oversized imitation of a stallion's pride, minding it wasn't far away from the diameter of a pony's leg. However, she hadn't found the time to ask before the currently receiving pony started helping equipping it and then pushed her to the bed. It was indeed their most impulsive and hastened session yet, caused by the the minds pumping the previous moment of love confessions through them both.

Berry pressed her muzzle into the yellow shoulder, squealing in delight over the eighteen inches spreading past her labia into the inner walls. Just like she said, her nether muscles tensed to clench the plastic stallionhood digging deep into her defiled cave of love. The toy was overwhelmingly covered in love juice, but it wasn't really necessary since it already had no bigger problems sliding in and out.

The intense stimulation Berry's pink pearl experienced from the thrusting was enough to drive most ponies insane, and she was no excuse. That certain part of her flower had already sent an enough amount of signals about how sweet this mauling was for her, creating one explosive orgasm after the other to her exhausted body without break. She moaned for everything she was worth, begging to Luna this moment never would end so she could feel her marefriend's cock inside her for eternity. And even if the wish was logically impossible, she imagined a way to actually make it happen. However, a very pleasant surprise was just around the corner as her eyes widened.

Fluttershy grit her teeth and shut her eyes, deciding to go for the last round now. Her hips jerked back and forth to send the mare in her lap jumping like never before, thus pressing her head as hard as she could into the plum chest.

"Yes... yes... ugh, like that! L-like that, honey! Yes! YES! YEEEEEESSS!" Berry hollered out as the ravaged pink flesh squeezed the large thing in her love hole to the brim, truly milking it so hard it almost hurt her sensitive inner muscles. A healthy quantity of her fluids poured out from the widely separated labia as she held her tone long enough for the blissful climax to end. It had been her third now, but there was still a slight problem.

She was still turned on like the season of mating hovered over her randy body.

Fluttershy was however not really that exhausted. It was mostly Berry who had been the working one by bouncing on the lap, doing more than half of the mutual cooperation. But none the less, she still wanted to obey what her body wanted. Sadly her nether lips were sore and pretty much numb by now, she probably wouldn't feel even that enormous size if it so slammed against her womb like a jackhammer.

Suddenly, she licked her lips as the perfect idea came to her mind.

"F...f-flutter-sweetie..." she said and leaned back so she could look down at the mentioned filly's face. The pegasus heard her and released the grasp around the mature body so she could also lean back and see her own eager pony. Both panting breathes met each other when the eyes finally connected.

"I want it... hah... it up... I want it up my... hah... my ass..." she whispered the last two words lustfully and blinked with a smile on her lips.

But the timid filly just blushed and immediately hesitated. Just the very idea of doing naughty things like sex would make her head airy, so doing it 'back there' was actually something she didn't even know what to say about.

"O-oh my... Uh... um... I... " she whispered back and looked away, flashing crimson on her cheeks when thinking about how dirty and bad it was. Didn't it hurt, she wondered.

Berry took that as a reluctant yes and leaned forward to place a smooch on Fluttershy's hot cheek.

"Don't worry... I can take it..." she assured and carefully stood up to let the hard and soaked rod out of her ravaged marehood. After just a few seconds of adjusting, she was still half-standing with her fore hooves gently pressed to Fluttershy's shoulders and her round behind half-sitting on the straight pole of imitated stallion lust. She felt more ready than she could describe, knowing the fine tip was just an inch away from touching her even more forbidden hole, armed to desecrate even that passage into her warm body begging for sexual pleasure.

Her thoughts surrounded subjects and things that made her relax, giving her tight orifice the necessary calm so it could stretch properly when needed. A lone location deep inside a jungle, isolated and quiet where nopony could hear, see or even smell her. Somepony looked around in the area, but couldn't for its life find her. She was virtually invisible, unable to be detected. A comfortable and cozy ambiance wrapped itself like a warm blanket around her body until...

Berry opened her eyes, sighed and threw one last look down on her blushing partner of lust and love.

"You ready, baby?" she asked and licked her lips again, quickly receiving a weak nod as answer. She lowered herself to finally welcome the intruder of satisfaction inside her body again. When the last piece of space was erased, her tight sphincter gave in to the soaked invader pushing aside the only defensive blockade into her orifice. A light yelp managed to end up as a whimper, weak and dying while the first fat inch managed to squeeze inside her rectum with a sudden slide.

"AAH!" she accidentally yelled as the sudden pain gulped a portion of her comfort and tightened her sphincter. Fluttershy squealed in worry and grabbed onto Berry's forelegs in a try to help her up again. But as fast as she tried, the mature pony halted her.

The pain hissed inside her brain but soon toned down with her anal orifice relaxing again. It was already open wider than most mares could achieve even with experience. No, you had to have Berry's personal experience to go this far as taking a dildo with the diameter of a hoof in your back.

Berry inhaled deeply and continued going further down, sinking slow but steady down the soaked pole like it was covered in lube. Another inch went inside, just like the next one. Her facial expression started to change from pain to sweetness, creating a newly found blush when the naughtiness infatuated her brain. Fluttershy could then watch in awe as the long rod disappeared more and more until not much left remained of the eighteen inches attached to her pelvis.

The rectum fought well to resist, but it was already a lost battle as Berry's tongue lolled out. She could now sit once again on the soft lap like a good pony, enjoying her full-body experience to the brim. The warm and tight rectum massaged its new playmate, not bothering to ask questions about why and how it got inside. Everything that mattered was the fact that the fine mare now could go all the way she liked it.

After a deep sigh and a look up at the ceiling, Berry put pressure on her lover's shoulders as she carefully slide up her toy. The pain was still there, only now accompanied with an overwhelming heat and pleasure tingling all the possible senses in Berry's body. She moaned halfway up the strap-on since she knew it would be way too much trying to take it all inside again with each thrust. Thus, her body weight dropped down again, meeting the soft thighs again so she could relax to take in her reward.

"Ahhh... oohh, yes..." she said in bliss, starting a cue for the yellow filly to put her fore hooves on the grapes located on the purple flanks. Her weak but helpful support pushed Berry up again, reversing the process to bring her down with a pull. And just like that, the tight anus had gotten used to the size.

In an acceleration, Fluttershy tensed her forelegs to shove her mare up and down with the groans and gasps above her head. She could almost feel the pleasure too even though she was disconnected from that part. For now it was only the earth pony's bidding to get her lustful orgasm. Then it would by all means be Fluttershy's turn. But actually, she was rather pleased so far to just see the sweaty mare forcing out her own life force just to take the dildo up her ass in a rapid thrust, it slide smoothly up her inner and ripped out even easier just to taste her warmth again.

Berry was in heaven. She couldn't stop grin and her tongue refused to go back inside her mouth, she felt so dirty and abused, disgusting and beautiful, used and loved and not to mentioned good. Her inner voice screamed for more so the approaching ending could get the perfect amount of stimulation needed to come out with a literal splash.

"Yes! Yes! Harder, baby, harder! Fuck me, fuck me, FU...".

Before being able to finish that demand while bouncing on Fluttershy's lap, she opened her eyes and looked over the pink mane.

In the doorway, Berry could see the narrow letting a peeping tom watch what was going on. She immediately recognized the pink colors and the horn sticking out from the moderate rose shifting mane. It was at that moment, while still being passionately rutted by her pegasus, Berry realized her daughter had been watching them for Celestia knows how long.

She was still panting and blushing from the extreme satisfaction given to her, but a fore hoof waved to the little pony in the doorway to get lost. She arched her eyebrows a little to show how serious she was, sadly not succeeding at all. Ruby just stood there, looking even more angry back at her mother. She intended on staying there for as long as she pleased.

Berry understood she had to interrupt the lovemaking... but wasn't able to.

Suddenly, the images returned again. The imagination of baby Ruby Pinch watching with adorable eyes at her. And at him. She looked at them both, seeing the stallion with a sinister grin mounting his wife from behind. Berry's black-eye and bruises, her bleeding gum and the utter humiliation. She saw everything too. The pain, the sorrow, the cold, the hurt and rejection of dignity. She sold her body just for her beloved daughter's safety. And then, she couldn't help but grimace when the hard erection filled her inside with sperm.

The trail of images became real inside the grown mare's head, she panted heavier and heavier, feeling the inevitable orgasm shaking up her mind. The crimson exploded as she closed her eyes again, knowing Ruby saw her mother taking it up her ass, screaming like a filthy whorse to get more. Yes, she was filthy, she was disgusting, and especially a whorse...

"Haahh... hah, hah, don't stop, don't stop! Oh, yes! Yes! F-fuck me harder! Ahh, ahh, ahh! AAAAAAHHHH!" she arched her neck up and half-screamed in absolute pleasure. Her orgasm cleansed every cell in her body as the wet feeling drenched her mind in ecstasy. And when that happened, Fluttershy knew she could finally relax her tired hips and forelegs. Due to the exhaustion, she fell back on the bed, panting with no energy to spare.

But when she landed her eyes on the bedroom door, it was closed with no uninvited watcher. Since there was nothing to notice like she kind of expected, the cute filly glanced at her pleased love mate, knowing for sure she must have done a good job.

That illusion broke when the sight of Berry with tears in her eyes appeared. The purple mare sat there with the dildo still deep up her anus, sniveling and sobbing silently. Like it was a maternal instinct, Fluttershy widened her eyes in shock and gasped.

"B-berry? Is... everything alright?" she asked and tried to get up in a semi-recumbent position even though her forelegs were weak after the exert. But there was no need, because the crying mare suddenly collapsed over her, landing with a soft thud over the even softer body. The hard toy didn't slip out, and that was the most painful reminder to Berry about what just happened. Yes, she was laying over a mare, crying in shame with a huge fake cock inside her. Desperation caused her to embrace Fluttershy around the neck, hugging tightly in an attempt to seek comfort.

She was quickly replied, now resting in a mutual embrace with two forelegs around her back. The gentle pegasus didn't say anything, instead just listened to the heartbreaking sobs jerking up from Berry's stomach. She said something among the salty tears, but at first it was about as incoherent like Fluttershy usually was in a first time introduction.

"I... uhh... n-need... ghh... h-help... I need... help, Fl... Fluttershy..." she sniveled and buried her snout in the pink mane she loved so much.

The mentioned filly felt like a question mark, but decided to just lay still and keep embracing her lover, unaware of what kind of 'help' she meant.


Back at the hospital, Winter Breeze had passed her rejoice in feeding Soul Hook. Now it was just a happy memory in her mind, something she valued deeply. The dark purple colt still laying in bed had a refilled bag of ice over his eye, focusing on the sheer cold easing his physical pain.

"Well..." the pegasus mare began and thought one last time again.

She remembered the reason for why they were here, but didn't understand it even the slightest. Just why was her apprentice here now with a concussion and a black-eye? What had caused this? She had a strong guess but no real evidence of it. For now she could only guess.

"What... happened, actually? Why did you say those things?" she asked with the pedagogical tone and a relaxed set of eyes. "You never even got to finish that last sentence...".

Soul Hook stared back at her, connecting in a way interpretable as hostility. It didn't matter how he did it when it came to this mare. His silence was the only answer as his dark green eyes turned back to the ceiling. Breeze sighed.

"Don't be like that, now. This is serious, Soul Hook..." she argued, but the colt still refused to speak. "I need to know what caused this. You just brought a stallion into a desperate rage just by looking into his eyes and speak... and what you said was so...".

She paused and glanced away, actually worried. "... not like you. I've never seen that side of you before, it was like... like..." she lost the words again, doubting if to say what she thought. After a hard gulp and even more doubts, she looked deep into the colt's eye again.

"Like the pony everypony expects you to be... cold, hard and murderous..." she gave up.

Those words summoned another thought she wanted to talk about too, a subject she insisted to herself would be the most important one. The ambiance turned into ice, freezing her hopes of a negative answer to this question.

"Is it... true what he said...?" she asked, somehow instantly grabbing the colt's attention. His healthy eye shifted over to her. "... that you're a... murderer?".

A look so deep it very much well could have killed pierced through Breeze's soul. She didn't want to accept that truth out of any other. She could understand the fact that he had been a rapist and abuser, but being a pony who once took the life of other ponies... was just something she didn't expect.

A crack of worry flawed the shrink's heart when her apprentice carefully nodded his head...

To be continued...

Author's Note:

Well, my break is over and as promised 'Ponyville's Lusts' is the first to get updated. Internet has been down here (far out on the countryside, mate) so that's why this was a little late.

PLEASE READ THIS!

Since a lot of sh!t is going down in PL now, I've decided to ask you all for your opinions and what you want.

Reduce the amount of detailed sex scenes but compensate it with more story AND an increased rate of update.

By this I'm talking about not having a steamy detailed part lasting for several pages in every single update. The mature aura will remain and the sex might occur instead for example each second chapter or so. This will make it easier to focus on either story or sex.

Keep the policy of always having a detailed sex scene in every single chapter at the cost of eventual delays in updating.

We're talking keeping it the way it is now. It will keep the update rate like it is with a risk of not getting your clop/story at the promised date (which is each week). I understand a lot of you wants to keep this, but I aim to please, so that's why I ask.

That's it. Please comment and tell me what you want, because I'm all about you guys. Without you, I'm nothing as an artist (I mean seriously... an artist without an audience? Dafuq?). In the meantime, I'm off writing the next update to 'Tears of Ecstasy'.

Brohoof on ya all!
