"Maple, you can't let Mom down...If not for me, or for yourself, do it for her. For Dad. You remember what he was like Maple. But that didn't stop him. He took that job all the way in the Fillypines just to give us a life. We can't let him down either"
>Just like that night, many years ago, you hear her
>Your Mom
>'Turning on the canyon, Amber?'
>You remember those words
>Lyrics to your favorite bedtime song
>So long ago
>You smile
>Remembering those fine moments
>Just before you would fall to sleep, laying next to your sister
>You two are one in the same
>"Amber...You know exactly what to say..."
>You hear rustling of the blankets, before hoofsteps behind you
>Her soft skin presses against yours, as she holds you close
"It doesn't have to be today...It's not possible. But it'll get easier, Maple...I know it will. The darkest storm creates the brightest rainbows"
>Dashie comes into your mind
"One day you might just be in a bar or something...And the pony of your dreams might just walk in...You might not even notice it. But everything happens for a reason, Maple...Remember that"
>She gives you a kiss on the cheek
>"I love you, Amber"
"I love you too, Maple"
>The two of you stay like that for a little bit
>Both standing close, bodies touching, staring out the window
>Watching the clouds slowly move by
>Naturally, your wing stretches out and covers Maple's back
>You feel her lean her head against your shoulder
>The warmth of her coat heating your body
>It's really...nice
>She nuzzles in closer to you
>What feels like a peaceful moment, turns into 5 minutes
>Then ten
>It's been a while since you've felt like this
>Sure Rainbow Dash is you 'partner', but Maple is blood
>And blood is thicker than water
>Maybe that's why it feels so relaxing
>You share the same blood
>You shared the same mother
>Same experiences, separated by spirits
>Spirits that share the same soul
>Without thinking, both of you look at each other
>You look deep into Maple's eyes
>She reciprocates the action by staring deep into yours
>You've never noticed how beautiful they are
>Her red mane, colored as the falling leaves of Autumn
>Perfection
>Lost in the moment you advance your head forward, towards your younger sister
>She doesn't move
>She just stands there, looking into your eyes
>The closer your head leans in you feel her hot, nervous breath
>And after an eternity,
>Your lips meet hers
>You close your eyes as you two connect
>Fully connect
>She doesn't pull away
>She puckers her lips, and returns the kiss
>Is this wrong?
>Should you be kissing your sister?
>These are the questions that you should be thinking
>But you aren't
>All thoughts fly out the window
>It's just you and her
>Lips touching
>You can feel her soft lips emitting heat
>Her lips are moist and smooth
>For a split second, you swear you can feel her heart beat through her lips
>The only way to describe it is euphoria
>Complete clarity
>The aporia of this moment can wait
>After a half a minute or two, she finally pulls back
>You pullback as well
>You open your eyes first and see Maple
>Eyes half closed
>In what seems like straight out of a movie, she slowly opens her eyes
>They are different now
>They look like they are full of life
>Like they were reborn
>If they were perfect before, you don't know what they are now
>You give her a small smile, trying to keep it light
>But in all honesty, you have no idea how she is going to react
>Your body fills with dread and regret
>You did just kiss your sister...who was just raped
>But if what you did was so bad in your mind, why is she smiling
>Without warning, she softly leans back into you, reconnecting with your lips
>This kiss is more firm
>Her lips push against yours harder this time
>You move from her side, keeping your lips connected
>Facing in front of her now, you put your hoof behind her head and gently stroke her mane
>Again, you feel something you have never felt before
>Even when you were with Rainbow Dash
>It felt nothing like this
>She puts her hoof against your cheek and slowly rubs your face
>Before long, you feel her slip her tongue into your mouth
>Her warm tongue slides between your young lips
>You've never seen her so...assertive
>Without waiting, you push your tongue onto hers
>The two of you romantically and sensually lick each others tongue
>It's not sloppy kissing
>It's passionate
>Beautiful
>But it feels so wrong
>But it's so right
>You can't be doing this
>This isn't what sisters do
>This IS wrong
>Before you make a mistake in lust, you stop moving your tongue
>You remove your hoof from the back of head and step back
>Disconnecting the contact you just sustained with your sister
>She opens her eyes, and shines you a surprised and concerned look
>"D-did I do something wrong?"
>She says in her softest voice
>You don't know what to say
>You started this
>You advanced
>You can't be doing this
>Everything is about you...
>You don't even think about her
>What she wants
>What she needs
>Love
>But you can't
>Not yet
"No! You didn't do anything...I, uh...I'm sorry"
>And just like that, you flap your wings and dash out of her room
>Leaving Maple alone
>By herself, once again
>You fly out of the house, near Rainbow Dash speed
>Okay, maybe not that fast, but still
>Pretty fucking fast
>All the while your mind keeps repeating the same questions
>Over and over again
>Sure it was one thing when you would fantasize about her
>But making out with her?
>Going further?
>That's a completely different thing
>You CANNOT do that again
>She's your sister
>She's your blood
>You can't do those things with your own blood
>It's disgusting
>Immoral
>But amazing
>You never felt your heart rush in with adrenaline like that
>Besides during combat
>But this wasn't stressful
>You weren't giving orders
>You didn't have any responsibilities
>And even though your heart was beating a thousand times a minute, it still seemed calming
>To know that you and your sister can be even more connected in each others lives
>This wan't a drunk hook up at a bar
>This was real
>Passionate and real
>It felt like a drug
>She invaded your body and infected your cells with love
>Just shut up Amber
>Listen to yourself
>It was just a momentary mistake
>Nothing more
>Maybe if you just stop thinking about it, it will go away
>You need to relieve some stress
>And energy
>Where's Rainbow Dash?
