AN Sorry for the long absence, people. I've had...a lot of stuf goingo n. I'll admit it, I fell out of the GT commuity for a while. Had several family tragedies and IRL disasters, got into new series, started making CYOAs, and even taking a stab at writing my own books. Also went off to conquer the Star Wars fanbase by making the most popular SW fic on the site.

So, yeah, its been a very mixed bag for me over the years. But I'm back! I posted to RDR recently too, but I'm sure most of you knew that. Anyway, enjoy this little snippet.

Mandy was rarely alarmed…or worried…or confused…or afraid in any form.

Even ignoring her own formidable power and iron will, she had seen a lot in her time; Reapers, Demons, Vampires, Gods. There just wasn't a lot anymore that could stun her.

Today, she was feeling a little of everything.

Days ago, they had revealed Minnie's true nature to Junior, as a half-demon and Nergal Junior's biological daughter. This was chiefly because hiding Minnie's powers was getting more complicated as she grew into them, and would eventually be more trouble than it was worth. So Mandy decided it was best to pull that Band-Aid fast and soon. He had taken the news well enough, all things considered. There was some shock, some confusion, a bit of envy, but ultimately the rift between the siblings finally seemed to be closing.

And now this was happening: Junior was riding Minnie.

Mandy wasn't sure if it would have been less or more difficult to deal with if it had actually been what it sounded like.

Minnie was wearing a bridle gag with her arms strapped to poles, securing her to the front of a small chariot…a chariot that Junior rode in.

She was just relieved that Minnie's tail was literally her Nergal-tail.

"Hey mom!" Junior greeted with a grin from the courtyard as Minnie stopped her running...her demonic tail wagging happily behind her even as she looked up at her namesake.

Mandy took a deep breath as she noted all the good points: They were not naked, they were dressed normally. There was nothing inherently sexual about this set up on its own and they were clearly enjoying themselves, as opposed to enjoying each other.

This was far less fucked up than it could be.

"What exactly are you doing?" Mandy asked with her arms crossed, trying to play this off entirely until she knew what was happening in her castle.

"We're playing?" Junior answered as if it was obvious, Minnie nodding enthusiastically. "Turns out Minnie's demon powers make her a great pony!"

"And who gave you this idea?" Mandy questioned with an arched brow, wondering who she had to fire. Out of a cannon. Into a Volcano. In Hell.

"Well, I did, I guess?" Junior admitted without worry. "I made some joke about playing horsy, and we ended up looking up how adults play horsey. It was mostly porn, so we just ignored the naked part and the, um, Adult parts," Junior explained with a bit of a blush, Minnie mimicing it.

Mandy mentally noted to get more secure child locks for theor undernet access.

"So...you're just...riding your sister like a horse. And I thought you two would never get this close. I guess Grim won that bet," Mandy mused before complaining at the end.

Junior grinned and leaned forward to pat Minnie on the head. Said horsey blushed and preened under the affectionate touch. "She's amazing! Fast and full of endurance...seriously, I've been riding her for hours now but she's still just going as fast as she was at first!"

Mandy scowled as she facepalmed. "Do you have to put it like that? I'm starting to wonder about you two."

"Put it like what?" Junior asked in confusion, Minnie tilting her head at her mother again.

"Nothing. Look, if Minnie's going to pretend to be your pet and everything, just make sure you take care of her," Mandy ordered offhandedly, waving them off…

Minnie's tail wagged faster at that as Junior grinned boyishly. "Will do, Mom! Minnie, giddy up!"

Minnie reared up and let out a very realistic whinny before darting off, her speed rapidly accelerating until she bolted into the castle. Mandy, meanwhile, sighed even as she felt a body materialize behind her.

"I told ya, woman."

"Yeah, yeah, you did. How did you know eventually they'd settle it all...like this?"

Grim smirked smugly, "I know me boy. And me girl. Given his own playfulness combined with her eagerness ta join him in anyding, eventually, it would en like dis nine times outta ten...now, me favor?"

"I'll clear the schedule this Saturday night. Right now, I want to keep an eye on this see just how far they take this pony thing," Mandy retorted.

"Ya think Junior is going to hurt her?" Grim questioned skeptically.

"No, but I'm not sure if either of them realize that a normal mundane whip would only be like a bee sting to her."

Grim laughed to himself at that. "Fair point. Still, there be one ding I don't get."

"Oh?" Mandy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Where de fook did Junior get dat chariot an harness?"

Mandy blinked and realized that was a very good question.

Meanwhile

Minnie did not tire, just as her br-rider said. She was a quarter demon, her stamina was well above what would be "normal" for a human child of her age. She could literally run for miles and treat it like a warm up.

She knew she should be humiliated or outraged on some level, trussed up like a beast of burden for her brother to use as a steed. She was a Princess of the Underworld and an accomplished ballerina! The daughter of Mandy and an adopted child of Death! The Granddaughter of Nergal himself!

But none of that really mattered to her in this instant. All that mattered was the happy laughter and occasional whooping of her brother as he sped her on with his words.

"Come on, is that all you got, Mins?!" Junior called teasingly.

Minnie stiffened. Her brother, her rider wanted her to go faster. She needed to go faster. She was a good pony, his good pony. Good ponies didn't disappoint their riders. They obeyed.

She obeyed.

She went faster.

Fortunately, as a quarter demon, she could move her energy and muscles around her body. With a quick shift, suddenly all of her power was in her legs. So...

"WHOA! That's it, Mins!" Junior declared, arms held high up in the air.

Even in her focused state, Minnie blushed in pride, 'He's so happy with me!'

Coming out of her blissful state, she blinked as a skeleton guard came around the corner of a hallway. "Oh crap. Mins, hard right!" Junior called out in alarm.

The skeleton guard was completely dumbfounded by the scene of the princess acting as a chariot horse for the prince, barreling past him and barely missing him.

The force of the turn was a bit much for them both, as the chariot bounced back and forth before they could come to a stop down the hall. Minnie was unharmed, while Junior fell out of the cart and hit a wall. Minnie squealed in alarm behind her gag, running back over to him- tempted to burst out of her restraints, but held herself back as Junior raised his hand with a thumbs up.

"I'm okay, I'm okay! Just...give me a moment to find that missing rib bone," Junior assured quickly, finding the bone behind a pedestal. "Okay, not to self, hold on tighter," Junior said with a grin as he looked to the sadness, crestfallen Minnie. "Mins? What's wrong?"

She didn't answer, but it seemed she didn't need to as her apologetic eyes met his socket.

"What, the fall? Don't beat yourself up over it, I didn't see him coming either," Junior assured with a smile, but that didn't alieve her spirits. "Mins, seriously, it's not your fault. Besides, what do you want me to say? That you're a dumb horse that needs to pay attention?" he asked sarcastically.

Minnie paused before looking up at him with wide eyes and nodded.

Junior sighed, "...I'm not gonna enjoy...ok, not true, I might enjoy a little of this. Anyway...ahem...you dumb horse! How could you be so stupid and not pay attention?!"

Minnie shivered under those words. Were she more like her mother, she would have been annoyed at someone verbally abusing her, even if it was her brother...but she was not her mother.

"...Did you just...Okay, you look happy, Mins...," Junior noted curiously, his eye sockets on her waging tail. "So...you like me talking to you like that?" he asked slowly, very confused.

Minnie nodded, towards the wall he landed against.

"You're so weird, Mins," he said with a chuckle as she looked down for a moment. "But you're still a great horse."

Minnie perked up again at that strange compliment as Junior climbed back into the cart. "Come on, let's go back to my room and get you out this thing."

Minnie nodded and took off again, her speed not quite up to her maximum, but almost there. Better safe than sorry.

Still, she admitted she was enjoying this form of play with her brother. Maybe they could keep doing it in the future.

The Steed of Death wasn't a bad addition to her titles, after all.

End of Chapter

...Okay, so yeah, I figured that since Minnie rode Junior like a horse in the "Mimi invading" arc, I figured Junior could do the same to Minnie in an AU where she hasn't lost her eye. And its one of those things that are mostly innocent(for kids of the underworld at least) but sound worse than they are. Added in the charoit for the laughs.

Don't have plans to do more of this one in the future, but thought it was a good for a "wha de fook?" laugh.

Anyway, hope you all enjoyed this bit.
