Adventures of a Fisherpony

If one lived close enough or was within a twenty foot radius of Golden Oaks Library, they could hear the familiar voice of a certain librarian yelling loudly at some pony who seemed to offend her…if they were in the street about five minutes ago they would know the exact reason why this purple alicorn was so flustered and red-faced at this stallion, if not from anger then for the reason she was angry at him.

“Don’t you realize there are laws against nudity for a reason?! What if there had been a group of young foals walking by?!  Or somepony thought you were some pervert flasher and attacked you! You should be arrested for what just happened, or banished or--!”

“Twilight calm down, it was an accident after all, plus it helps having a bit of excitement these days.  I know you are just making sure that everything for the Summer Sun Celebration goes off without a hitch, but it can get a bit boring to go over these things all day…” Celestia smiled at the stallion who sat there with the expression of a child who had been caught doing reprehensible deeds…pretty good comparison considering he DID do something reprehensible…only as an adult.

“Aw shucks yer highnesses…highnessai?....highnessee?....uhm….both of ya…I would never ever intentionally expose myself like that, let alone to a couple of proper princesses who deserve the utmost respect.” Cod said as he sheepishly scratched his arm, now wearing the clothes he had previously had on, given the chance to grab them before being dragged off for a lecture in the library.

At his explanation Twilight’s angry expression seemed to soften a bit, yet she still crossed her arms and looked away from him “…Fine….just don’t let it happen again or I will show you what happens when a stallion gets hit by a magic blast spell straight in the groin.” Twilight replied sternly, making Cod’s hands dart straight between his legs protectively, nodding rapidly to show he understood.

Princess Celestia only giggled as she stood up “Now now there’s no need for that Twilight, you may go now Cod Piece, just try to keep your clothes on alright?” she winked at him which made him blush and chuckle.

He stood up to leave the library, still obviously flustered from all that transpired, he tripped over a nearby stool and ran into the door, which he tried to play off by opening the door, only to end up flopping outside onto his stomach and scramble to stand up, closing the door behind him to preserve what little dignity he had, earning a couple of giggles from Celestia and making Twilight crack a smile as they watched his little fiasco.

“He certainly is an odd pony…but he sure does have a cute ass.” Celestia said, earning a nod from Twilight, who paused then looked at her teacher.

“Wait what was that last part?”

Cod let out a sigh and brushed the dirt off his jeans and shirt from his fall “Man I thought they were gonna rip mah ‘fishin’ rod’ off an’ shove it up mah—“ he paused as he heard some rustling in the bushes and a giggle.  Cod quirked his eyebrow then walked over quietly, he thenknelt down and jumped into the bushes, colliding with the smaller body of a certain dark blue filly.

“Ahhhhh! Help the big naked fisherpony is gonna show me his ding dong!” Stormy playfully teased as Cod pinned her down after tackling her.

“Stormy! What the hell are ya doin’ eavesdroppin’ like that?” Cod crossed his arms as he stood up and helped her to her hooves, picking a few leaves from his mane.

“Well Soubrette told me about what happened and told me to come make sure you weren’t getting banished or….like you said about getting your fishing rod ripped off……by the way I thought you left your pole back at my place when Soubrette was gonna give you a bath…” she teased again causing Cod to sigh and trot down the road.

“Damn….with the past couple days I had here I need a nice stiff drink….ya’ll got a bar, or pub or tavern around this town?” Cod said as he stretched his arms up above his head and groaned a bit from the tension in his muscles.

“Well we have the Prancing Pony over by the town square, I think they run till around midnight or so.” Stormy replied, only to see that Cod was already heading in the direction of the town square “Wow he must really need a drink…” Stormy shrugged and headed down the road to her house.

As he trotted into the swinging saloon style doors of the tavern Cod took a quick look around, it was a pretty standard environment as one would think a tavern would look like.  Tables with chairs set at them with a couple of lights on the wall nearby to keep the areas adequately lit, some random pictures of different ponies and notable landmarks within the town spread on different areas on the wall, hardwood flooring, and of course the bar with stools set up for ponies.  Aside from that the bar was nearly empty, then again most ponies don’t start drinking at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.

Cod decided to take up a stool at the empty bar and looked at the different bottles of booze they had lined up, they had rum, triple sec, gin, vodka, cider, wine, and of course whiskey!  Cod smiled as he waited, hoping the open sign in the front was correct in saying the bar was open at this time.  As Cod tried reading the label of an awkwardly shaped bottle his ears flickered to the sound of a door shutting, he turned towards the sound and spotted….a rump?  A cute tight rump at that, topped off by a short bright yellow tail.

Slowly but surely the rest of the pony it was attached to came into view, a young pegasus mare who was carrying crates full of bottles, presumably to be stocked at the bar.  She seemed to be hardly much older than Cod, maybe even a year or so younger.

Cod couldn’t help but let his eyes roam a bit to take in the sight of this mare.  She had a bright red coat of fur that was complimented by her fiery yellow mane that was in a similar fashion to a certain Wonderbolt, yet not quite as spikey and somewhat more girlish.  She had an athletic build with curves in just the right places, that showed she kept herself in great shape.  She was wearing a denim mini-skirt that her perky rear filled out quite nicely, and a white short-sleeve t-shirt that fit tightly around her breasts, which were currently squished up against the crates, and seemed to bulge out to the sides against the pressure of the boxes, showing the mare had a generous bust.

She spotted Cod and looked a bit surprised, but her expression quickly changed into a sly grin as she trotted over and sat the crates down on the floor behind the bar, slapping her hands together a few times to dust them off before leaning over the bar in front of him.

“Hey there!  Don’t normally expect anybody to be here so early.  But I suppose I could let it slide this once k?” she said as she leaned forwards on the bar towards him, showing off her cleavage as she did, causing Cod to stare for a moment before blushing and quickly trying to make eye-contact with her.

“Oh uh….th-thanks….” He stumbled a bit over his words causing him to blush more from making himself look like an idiot.

“Sheesh, this your first day talking? Don’t worry I don’t bite…..unless you want me to.” She leaned over the bar towards him, still grinning slyly which made Cod turn almost as red as her coat.

“Oh uh…well I…” Cod paused and cleared his throat before speaking again “….good to know?” he chuckled nervously which caused her to giggle and start laughing.

“Relax! I’m just messing with you, my name is Hot Plate by the way.  What can I start you off with?” she kept leaning on the bar waiting for him to place an order, since he was the only customer there.

“Well…I guess just a whiskey will do fer now.” Cod shrugged and took his bag of bits out, placing a few on the bar with a smile.

“Sure thing.”  she swiped the bits quickly and dropped them down the front of her top with a wink as she searched for a glass and the ice before pouring the whiskey for him.

“So what’s your name sweetie? I haven’t seen you around town at all.” She asked as she set the whiskey in front of him, which he grabbed and took a sip of before replying.

“Mah name is Cod Piece. I came here on business, Pa sent me here cuz the time is just right fer fishin’ here.  I catch, filet, an’ sell fish to griffons, diamond dogs, sometimes even a dragon who doesn’t much care fer the taste of ponies….but mostly just send shipments to the Griffon Kingdom.” He punctuated this by taking another sip of his whiskey.

She nodded as she leaned forward again, lazily resting her breasts on top of the bar in front of him as she listened.  “Fishing?  Never heard of a pony having a talent for fishing.”

“Well I guess I’m a rare case then?” Cod chuckled and shrugged taking another swig of his whiskey, effectively emptying the glass and setting it down with a content sigh as he felt the light buzzing sensation in his head.

Hot plate refilled his glass and shrugged “Maybe….so do how do you get the fish to the Griffon Kingdom? Take it yourself? That’s a long way to go just to deliver a couple fish, especially for an earth pony.” She punctuated this by giving her wings a couple flaps.

“Naw, I actually never been to the Griffon Kingdom mahself…would like to someday though but Pa keeps sayin’ I ain’t ready fer it….I normally find a local delivery service in the town I go fishin’ in an’ package them mahself to be shipped out, gotta do it JUST right to keep the fish from spoilin’ on the trip.” Cod took a sip of the refilled glass, putting another couple of bits on the table for the drink.

“Makes sense….so where are you staying? We don’t exactly have an inn or hotel in this town.” She asked him, quirking her eyebrow questioningly at him.

“Well….I slept under one of the bridges on that night there was a rainstorm….kinda sucked and hardly slept at all….but this young mare I met named Stormy kindly took me in fer the duration of mah trip….kinda weird how at her age she already lives alone…but I’m just glad I have a place to stay.” Cod replied, taking another big gulp of his whiskey, feeling the effects of the alcohol getting to him a bit.

“Stormy? That filly who lives by herself?  I don’t think many of the ponies in town are gonna look at you staying with her in the best light….grown stallion who just blows into town and hunkers down with a filly who lives on her own?” she said causing Cod to look a bit shocked.

“Why would they think that?  Shoot I know I’m new in town but I would never even dream of doin’ anythin’ wrong with her.   I ain’t some sort of foal fooler….plus the fact I ain’t even had a marefriend before…so I’m sorta in the dark about the inner workins’ ya know?” Cod shrugged finishing off his second glass of whiskey.

Hot Plate grinned slyly again at this new development “Never had a marefriend?  You’re a cherry boy then?  How cute~” she stuck her tongue out a little, poking fun at the poor stallion who blushed brightly, cursing under his breath about whiskey giving him loose lips.

“I-it’s not that mares don’t wanna date me ro somethin’…I think….It’s more of….me constantly travelin’ and never bein’ able to get to know a mare well enough ya know?....plus doesn’t help I got pulled out of school at an early age to go straight into the business fer Pa…” he seemed to get a bit sadder as he continued, looking down into his reflection in the brown liquid.

“H-hey I was just messing with you Cod, and if you ask me you are actually kinda cute…I’m sure you’ll find a nice mare who wants to be with you?” she quickly replied trying to cheer him up.  It seemed to do the trick as he looked up from his drink and smiled a little.

“Yeah…I guess yer right…” he said as he began taking another drink.

“Or a stallion if you’re not careful…you do sorta look a bit like a mare.” Hot giggled as she went straight back to teasing him, causing him to almost spit his drink out, coughing as he forced it down.

“Hey! I do not!” he crossed his arms and pouted a bit which made her laugh loudly at him.

“Oh cmon you have a long pretty mane and tail and you are actually kind of curvy, you could totally pass for a mare from the back.” She smirked as Cod then began looking down and lightly dragging his hands over his front, as if investigating if it was true.

“Naw yer crazy.” Cod chuckled as he brushed off the topic and glimpsed towards the clock on the wall.  “Ah hell, I’m burnin’ daylight, I better get back to fishin’ if I wanna make quota by the end of this trip.” He said as he stood up and turned to heard for the door “I’ll see ya around Hot Plate!” he waved back at her with a smile.

“Nice meeting you Cod!  You can come back anytime…especially if you bring the sweet ass back with you!” she called after him, causing him to turn and look at her blushing brightly, to which she just winked back at him as he awkwardly stumbled out the door.
