Twilight Sparkle leaned against the railings in one of Canterlot Castle’s many towers, staring at the sky.         “Do you think that she’s coming?” Spike asked, jumping up and down to try to get a better view.         Twilight rolls her eyes. “I’m sure she is, Spike. Canterlot’s very far from the Dragon Lands, you know.”         “Yeah, yeah, but-Oh, I see her! She’s coming!” Spike shouted, pointing at a figure in the distance.         Twilight looked back up to the sky to check. “...Spike, that’s Fleetfoot.”         “Aw, man…” Spike looked down, dejected.     “Do we need to get you a pair of glasses?” Twilight joked, turning around to playfully nudge him.     “I dunno, glasses seem to suit you pretty well, Twilight.” A voice said behind her, the figure’s fingers creating circles in front of her eyes.         “Ember!” Spike said, running over to the dragon, wrapping his arms around her.         “Hey, Spike!” Ember said, ruffling up the scales on his head. “How’s my favorite little dragon doing?”         Spike blushed, “Aw, I’m hanging in there, how’s life as Dragon Lord?”         “Eh, can’t really complain. Been trying to convince the rest of the dragons that most ponies aren’t bad, but I swear, some of them dine on rocks instead of gemstones. Speaking of…” Ember pulls out a green gemstone, tossing it up to Spike. “Figured you’d like a snack during our meeting.”         Spike jumps up and catches it, staring at it with widened eyes. “Woah...is this emerald?”         “Better, it’s Alexandrite.”         “No way, it’s huge! How did you even find a gem like this?”         “That’s a secret!” she chuckled, winking.         Spike inspected the gemstone, before taking a slow, cautious lick. “Holy fuck, it’s real.”         “Spike! Language!” Twilight scolded, before facing Ember and bowing. “It’s great to see you again, Dragon Lord Ember. It’s been quite a while since we last met.”         “Yes it has, Princess Twilight. I’m glad that Princess Celestia called me over for another meeting. It’s so nice seeing the bright colors of Equestria instead of the dreary browns and reds of the Dragon Lands.” she replied, bowing back.         “Well, let’s not keep Celestia waiting any longer, I’ll show you to the meeting room, Dragon Lord Ember.” Twilight said, walking inside the castle, the two dragons following.         The three made it to a rather large conference room. A round table taking up a majority of the floor, with seats ready to seat a group of at least twenty, although most of the chairs were put on the side of the room. On the side, the windows were open, letting the rays of sunshine in. Sitting at the furthest seat at the table was someone not facing them, but a look at her large white horn and majestic flowing mane made it very easy to tell who was seated there. Princess Celestia spun in her chair to face them like an evil villain would to reveal themselves. Her fingers interlocked in front of her face.         “Ah, Dragon Lord Ember! It’s so lovely to meet again.” Celestia greeted, her voice sunny and bright, completely betraying her somewhat dark tone and pose.         Twilight pinched the bridge of her nose as Spike covered his mouth to hide his giggles.         “Heh, glad to see you too, Princess Celestia,” Ember responded. “Glad to see you’re still as entertaining as ever.”         Celestia playfully shrugged, “I figured there had to be something to make things exciting before the meeting. I trust your visit has been pleasant so far?”         “Yes, there have been a few ponies who greet me upon arrival, some even want to take pictures of me. I...feel like a celebrity, it’s kinda weird.” she blushed, rubbing the scales on the back of her head.         Celestia giggled, “You’ll get used to the attention. But I am glad to see that more and more ponies are warming up to dragons, even if it is just you and Spike.”         “I’m doing my best to try and find a trusted dragon that I can take along as a companion to these visits so they can better understand ponies, but it is quite a long process, even as Dragon Lord.”         “Well, friendship isn’t easy, but any progress is good progress.”         “That’s why we are all so grateful that you are taking the time to meet with us about this. It is my understanding from your letters that the Dragon Lands still have some troubles of their own,” Twilight said.         “Yeah, well, I kinda owe it to this little guy over here,” Ember said, patting Spike on the head. “If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t even be Dragon Lord in the first place. But I am glad to strengthen our relations.”         “Speaking of, have a seat, everyone, and we can properly get this meeting underway.”         Twilight, Spike, and Ember sat down at the remaining chairs, looking at Celestia to begin.         “Excellent. I’m glad that you could all come for this diplomatic meeting. First, I think we should go over the progress we’ve made since our last meeting…”         The meeting continued as the minutes passed. Celestia and Ember brought up problems that would be relevant to the situation, Twilight would try offering a solution, before realizing there might be another problem from that solution, Spike made the occasional snarky remark while giving some honest input. Overall, each of the four provided valuable input and would help contribute to bettering dragon-pony relations. Of course, it would all depend on the regular ponies and dragons themselves in the end to be able to trust and bond with each other.         “Well, I think that was a very successful meeting, everypony. Once again, I’d like to thank you all.” Celestia concluded, her smile turning into a smirk. “Would you like to say anything, Spike?”         Everyone looked over to see Spike leaning back in her chair, softly snoring with the half-eaten gem in his lap. Twilight smirked, lightly tapping him on the shoulder.         Spike jumps an inch off his seat. “Wah! I’m up, I’m up!” he exclaims, looking at the three amused royal figures. “Uh...yeah, I uh, totally agree!”         “Well, after that stimulating meeting, I believe that we are finished with our professional business.” Celestia chuckles, pushing herself backward to stand up.         “So follow me, and we’ll move onto our private business.” She said with a wink, walking out of the conference room.         “Finally!” Spike exclaimed, giving a short round of applause, Twilight lightly whacked him in the back of the head.         “What? This is the best part about these meetings!” he shrugged, “Sorry I don’t share your appreciation for diplomatic politics…” he muttered, before they joined Ember in following Celestia.         The group eventually made their way to Celestia’s chambers, after Celestia closed and locked the doors, Twilight cast a spell. The magic aura covered the walls, before disappearing.         “Alright, the spell’s set. The room is soundproof and locked, Celestia.” Twilight said.         “Good, then let’s get the fun started, hm?” Celestia smiled, slipping out of her golden sandals, giving a little sigh in relief as she spreads her toes, letting the cool air run through them. “Ahh...It’s been such a long and tiring week...My feet have been aching, even in these sandals. If only there was someone here who could give me a massage...“ she said with a wink.         Twilight giggled, “Oh, I think I can help with that, Princess,” she said, slipping out of her shoes and socks. “As long as you were willing to return the favor, of course.”         At the same time, Ember made her way to Celestia’s bed, sitting on the side “Oh Spiiiiike…” She teased, beckoning the other dragon over, curling her toes. “How about you and me play?”         “Woohoo!” Spike cheered, tossing the half-eaten gem on the bedsheets. He kneeled at the side of the bed, grabbing onto Ember’s heels, planting kisses on her soles, alternating between her left and right foot.         “Well, you’re being quite the impatient dragon today, aren’t you?” Ember joked, tapping Spike on the head with her toes.         Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight sat on the floor, placing their bare feet on each other's laps. Celestia wiggled her toes to not only display the work that was done on her feet, but to make Twilight blush furiously. When her toes curled, it showed off the nail art that was done. On her big toes were a well done depiction of her cutie mark, cliché, but still lovely to see. The remaining nails were painted in the colors of her majestic flowing mane, cerulean, turquoise, cobalt, and heliotrope. Despite all the work and activities she did on her feet, there wasn’t a single chipped nail, speck of dirt or dust, or callus that could be found, it was the result of Canterlot’s finest spa and pedicurists. It made ponies jealous of Celestia for having such pristine feet, and would probably make ponies jealous of Twilight for being able to touch, rub, kiss, and tickle said pristine feet.         Twilight took a few moments to stare at Celestia’s massive feet before she covered her blushing cheeks. Every wiggle of her toes made her more hot and bothered. Eventually, she became to flustered to keep looking, and covered her face in embarrassment. While Twilight didn’t have the luxury of receiving an elite pedicure, Ponyville’s Aloe and Lotus were no slouches when it came to their treatments. They did a spectacular job of making sure Twilight’s moderately-sized feet were clean and smooth, although it was always a challenge seeing how ticklish they were. Even painting her nails, which were colored a dark violet and decorated with bright white stars was a process that caused a constant stream of giggles from the princess. Now they were on display for Celestia to see.     Celestia lifted one of Twilight’s feet up to her chest to get a better look while she was blushing from her teasing. She tilted her sole to the side, seemingly trying to get a better look, before making a devious grin and sliding her fingers down her defenseless sole.     Twilight jolted, instinctively yanking her foot back as she squealed, finally looking at Celestia.     “Have you forgotten already? Get to work on that massage, Twilight, or else…” She chuckled, wriggling her fingers closer to Twilight’s other foot.     Twilight smiled nervously, lightly grasping Celestia’s feet, pressing her thumbs into her arches.         Ember and Spike, being dragons, had different looking feet than Twilight and Celestia. Although they still had attributes that they could still admire. It was a bit curious how big the differences between the two were. Ember’s feet were long and slim, Spike’s were round and chubby. Ember put most of her weight on the front of her feet, Spike walked flatfoot. Either way, the two dragons loved playing with each others feet, and the ponies always loved poking and experimenting with them.         Spike began putting his tongue to good use, lapping up Ember’s soles with his long, forked tongue, making Ember giggle. “S-Spiiiike! O-oooh, t-that still t-tickles!”         “Hey, I can’t help it if you’re so ticklish,” Spike grinned, purposely flicking his tongue against her feet. “Eeheehee! Spike! C-cut it out!” She squealed, her feet curling, trying not to accidentally kick him in the face.     “Make me,” he smirked, utilizing his claws to lightly scratch at her heel, making the Dragon Lord nearly fall back onto the bed. Before Spike moved his fingers up her feet, he felt something wrap around his belly and pull him onto the bed.     “Well, if you insist,” Ember said, squeezing Spike with her tail as her fingers approached his defenseless feet.     “Uh...I’m sorry?” Spike said, his toes curling up as he laughed nervously.     “You chuckle now, Spike…” she grinned, before lightly scratching under his toes. “...but I’ll have you screaming.”     “W-wait, waitwaitwaitwaitwaaaaiiiiiiit! Nohohohoho!” Spike’s begging turned into hysterics from Ember’s light touch.     “Maybe this’ll teach you a lesson, Spikey, kitchy kitchy koo…” Ember teased, effortlessly making him squirm and struggle with just one claw, making figure-eights against his soles and poking his little toes.     “Plehehehehease! Stahahahahap! I’m soooorryyyy!”     “Hm, are you really? Maybe I’ll just keep tickling you until I’m convinced,” she smirked, her light traces slowly evolving into scribbling against his helpless soles.     Spike started to scream, starting to tear up, thrashing and kicking while wrapped up in Ember’s tail. “I’M SOHOHOHOHORRY!”     “Aw, sure, I believe ya,” Ember shrugged, letting go of Spike, letting him recover on the bed. “Is it me, or are you more ticklish than before?”     “Ah...hah...oof...you’re...so...evil…” Spike gasped, wiping the tears from his eyes as he caught his breath.     “And you’re so cute,” Ember giggled, playing with Spike’s toes.     Ember grinned, adjusting her position once more, hovering her feet over Spike’s face. “I’m sorry, is this going to make up fo-Eeee! Spiiiiike!”     Spike grabbed onto Ember’s ankle, quickly scribbling his fingers down the length of her long sole, watching her toes spread out and wiggle before he presses her sole against his face. “Mmmhmm.”     Ember let out a little sigh, keeping her feet pressed against Spike’s face, tapping her toes against his forehead.     Twilight continued with her massage, running her thumbs up and down the length of Celestia’s arches, consistently adding light pressure as she watched her feet react.     Celestia hummed softly. Twilight’s handiwork wasn’t as precise as a professional Canterlot masseuse, but she was familiar enough with her feet that she was well aware of which pressure points melted away a huge chunk of her stress. She began wiggling her big toes, still teasing Twilight, but also indicate to her another spot that she wants given attention.     Twilight nods, grabbing onto her toes, gently pulling on each of them, causing some of the joints to pop, before sliding her fingers between her toes, moving them up and down, part of her palm rubbing up against the balls of her feet.     Celestia let out soft moans and giggles, Twilight’s fingers simultaneously relaxing and tickling her. With Twilight’s feet on her lap, she picked up one of Twilight’s feet, bringing her big toe up to her lips, giving it a brief kiss before sticking it in her mouth, suckling on it.     Twilight bit her lower lip, wiggling her big toe against Celestia’s tongue as she persisted in her foot rub. Taking one of her majestic feet in hand, she moves her thumbs right at the ball of her foot, pressing her thumbs right below the area, moving them in small circles.     Celestia shivered, Twilight hitting one of her pressure points, a loud moan escaping her lips and into Twilight’s foot. She retaliates by taking hold of Twilight’s foot, taking slow, long licks up her sole, giving a little flick of her tongue right under her toes to drive her wild. At the very end, she made sure to give a kiss to one of Twilight’s toes every time she reached the top.         “Ohhh...f-fuuuck!” Twilight cried out, her toes spreading out as Celestia darted her tongue in the spaces between.         “Language, Twilight!” Spike mockingly chastised, lifting Ember’s foot off his face to waggle his finger.         Twilight would have to be mad at him later. For now, she brought Celestia’s feet up to her face, rubbing her cheek against the soft, pampered soles.         Ember looked down at Spike, lying sedentary as her feet lay on his face. “So, is this all you wanna do? Just lie there?”         A few seconds passed, Spike’s chest raised up and down as he breathed, sniffing Ember’s feet, before he raised his own up in the air and above her legs.         “...You want me to tickle you again?”         Spike immediately retracted his feet, “Uh, I’m good.”         Ember giggled, “You sure? I think your laugh is pretty cute. Just making you squeal just by tickle tickle tickling your feet…”         Spike started to blush through his scales. “Uh, it’s fine, playing with your feet is fine,” he said, starting to wiggle Ember’s toes.         As Twilight pressed her thumbs against Celestia’s heels, she froze in shock. “Augh! I totally forgot! Sorry to leave early, but Spike and I have to go back to Ponyville for Applejack’s birthday, and we can’t be late.”         “That’s quite alright, Twilight. We’ll just see you next time and pick up where we left off.” Celestia said, barely hiding the disappointment in her voice.         Twilight hastily put on her socks and shoes. “Thank you so much. Spike! We gotta get going!”         “Aw, come on, can’t we skip this one time? Applejack’s young, she’s gonna have other birthdays, isn’t she?” He said, laying his cheek against Ember’s soles.         “We’re going now!” Twilight yelled, already opening the door.         Spike let out a loud groan. “Fine. Thanks for the alexandrite, Ember! This was a lot of fun, sorry I can’t stay any longer, though,” he said, planting one last kiss on her toes before giving her a hug.         “Heh, no worries. You really know how to pamper a dragon, ya know that?” she smiled, returning the hug. “Alright, get going.”         With a reluctant sigh, Spike grabbed the gem and ran after Twilight, closing the door behind him. “See you guys later!”         “Well, guess that leaves you and me, Ember. A shame that they couldn’t stay longer, I was enjoying that massage.” she mused.         “Yeah, I could tell,” Ember said. crawling over to the end of the bed. “You really know how to make Twilight blush, huh? I could never make her that flustered!”     Celestia smirked, “Well, it’s all about hitting her buttons. I can just wiggle my toes in just the right way and she’s practically mine to control.”         “And Spike was a lot more enthusiastic than last time. Wonder what’s gotten into him.”         “Well, to my knowledge, you are the only dragon friend that he has. I think he’s just so excited that he has another dragon that shares his, well, our interests.”         “Heh, might be…Not that I really mind it that much.”     “So, are you going to be off as well, Ember?”         Ember tilted her head side to side for a moment, before shaking her head. “Nah, I can stay for a while longer. I can stay a bit longer. I’d love to play with you one-on-one.”
