The Apple and his jewel

Chapter 3: Pinkie’s teachings

As he arrives at SCC, with the little cart behind him, Pinkie raises an eyebrow. “Uhm, Mac, I didn’t order any apples…”, she said, having a questioning look on her face. Big Mac shrugged, and placed the cart anyway. “O…K then, how much do I owe you, Mac?”, Pinkie asked, already holding her bag of bits.

Mac gestured to not pay at all. “Huh, so they’re for free?” Big Mac nodded, replying with his signature “Eeyup”.  He glanced around the lobby, which was surprisingly empty for this time of day. Pinkie chuckled, and nudged him in the side with her elbow. “She’s not here, loverboy.”, she said to Mac, winking.

Mac’s blush became slightly visible. Dang it, she knew! Then again, she’s THE matchmaker. It wasn’t all that surprising. Pinkie smiled, and didn’t go any further on the subject. Mac turned to the door, and left the inn, nodding at Pinkie as she waved him goodbye.

As he went outside, his head slightly began hanging, and Apple Bloom walked up to him, seeing how she had lunch break. “Oh, hah Big Mac. What’re y’all doin’ here at SCC?” Big Mac shrugged, and had a little sad look on his face. “Hey, y’all OK, Big Mac? Y’all look a lil’ sad.”, said Apple Bloom, slightly worried about her big brother. As they walked on, Big Mac would explain how he had tried seeing Emerald again, and how he came up with bringing free apples.

Meanwhile, Emerald came downstairs, shyly, eating a piece of mint again. Pinkie smiled, and softly giggled. “Morning, Emerald. You just missed Big Mac passing by, bringing apples!” Emerald’s ears perked up, and she looked up right away. “O-oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know, Pinkie…”

Pinkie watched Emerald intently, and softly smiled. “You really DO like him, don’t you?” Emerald slightly nodded. “Do you think he’d like me back, Pinkie?” Pinkie’s smile slightly widened, and she tapped her head. “My head tells me he does”, she replied in a teasing way. “Can you help me show him I like him?”, Em asked her. She really wanted to give him a shot.

Pinkie nodded, and her smile was very wide by now. She loved matchmaking ponies, after all. “OK, Mac’s kind of a shy guy, so what you gotta do, is not to tell him right off the bat you like him. Give him some…signals.” Emerald raised an eyebrow. “S-signals?” Pinkie nodded, giggling. “Try batting your eyelashes a little.”, Pinkie said. Emerald began getting a little nervous, but did so. Pinkie giggled again. “Perfect, he’ll love that!” Emerald smiled. “Alright, now, there’s one thing stallions can’t resist.”, Pinkie said with a grin. “A-and what’s that?”, Emerald asked her nervously.

Pinkie walked up to behind her, and gently poked her cutie mark on both sides. “A mare’s flank. Not a single stallion that won’t fall for the swaying shake of a flank!” Pinkie’s grin had turned into a smirk as Emerald released a little squeak. “H-how do you know that?”, Emerald asked a little uncertain. Pinkie winked at her. “Emerald, I’ve been married for a few years now. I know how it works.”

“O-OK. And how should I do that, Pinkie?” Pinkie giggled, exclaiming this was the most fun she had in years. “Alright, just watch me, Emerald.” Pinkie began walking, slightly shaking her hips as she did so seductively, showing Emerald how to do it. Turning around, she smiled at Emerald. “Now you give it a try!”

Emerald began walking towards her. As she tried shaking her hips like Pinkie, she barely was able to move forward. Pinkie laughed at the sight of Emerald stumbling. “I guess we need a LOT of work on that one.”

Emerald smiled awkwardly. Was she really getting taught on how to seduce a stallion? Then again, if this would work, she’d get the stallion of her dreams. Why not give this a try? A few hours passed by as she was getting taught.
