Call of the wild

I awoke the next morning. Feeling refreshed I look to my side seeing Lyra still fast asleep, I give her a kiss causing her to roll over and moan.

“Few more minutes, Bon Bon, I'm still tired!” she grabs the covers and raps her self back up.
I sit there thinking, what the hay?, I give her a small nudge seeing that the clock says 1 pm.

“Lyra...” I whisper in her ear, “...Time to get up”, Lyra just covers her head with the pillow.

“Please just let me sleep, Bon Bon”, this time I grab her flank and give it a pinch. “Ah!”, Lyra shouts as she rolls out of the bed. “What! Where...” She looks up to me leaning over from the bed.

“Morning, or shall I say afternoon”, I say looking over and pointing too the clock.

“Oh no! I'm late!”, Lyra stumbles as she gets up. She turns back to me before she opens the door. She plants a kiss on my lips, “see you later, Big boy!” she giggles as she runs out.

'Well at least she has no regrets', I think to myself. “Wonder what Bon Bon meant last night? Her turn?” I say out loud. I shrug thinking it can't be any more than what me and Lyra had done, as I lay back thinking, as I stared up at the ceiling; the door began to open.

“Um, Lyra, are you in here”, I look down to see a grey pony with yellow mane stick her head around the door. She shrinks back seeing me in the bed, “Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this is Lyras room”.

“Lyra just stepped out, but this is her room yes”, I say just laying back.

“Oh, does that mean your that stallion she's always going on about?”, her question catches my interest.

“What does she say about me?”, I raise an eyebrow as the grey pony walks in and just sits by the bed.

'very friendly, I must say' passes through my thoughts.

“Well...” She taps her chin,”...She says you have a nice...Wingspan”, I cant help but see her blush, “also she says you are very...Handsome”, I see her look down and tap the floor with her hoof.

“If this is making you uncomfortable, we can talk about something else?” she lifts up her head and smiles, “OK, then what's your name?”

“Oh, sorry, it's Derpy, um Derpy Hooves” She reaches up a hoof and I shake it.

“Well Derpy, if you don't mind me calling you that?” Derpy shakes her head, still holding her hoof; I reply.

“It's what everypony else calls me”, she just shrugs.

“OK, my name is Starstruck; nice to meet you”, I let her hoof go, “so what brings you here?” I ask.

“Well, I wanted to ask Lyra if I could borrow her whacking stick”, Derpy looks away embarrassment falling on her face, “I probably shouldn’t have mentioned that!” she goes to walk away.

“Wait!” I call over, “you would mean this thing would you?” I leave the bed and grab the large paddle with black domes on it.

“Yes!” Derpy Shouts, “That's it, how did you know?”

“It was the weirdest thing in here”, I gesture to the rest of the room, “but just to ask, what do you use it for?” Derpy looks back puzzled.

“You mean you don't know?” I shake my head, Derpy just squeals.

“Then I’ll show you!” Derpy walks up to me and takes the paddle in her mouth. I look at her as she just smiles and hits me on the flank.

“Hey!” I shout, “that hurt!” I rub my flank.

“That's what it's for silly”, she says after dropping it down, “you hit people with it”, I look at her face only to meet a sincere expression; followed by a small smile.

“So,” I says picking it up in my mouth, “Youssh jusshed hitssh peoplessh,” Derpy just nods and turns her flank towards me.

“You try!” Derpy says while wiggling her flank.

“Rightsssh”, I turn my head and swing, catching her on the cutie mark. “Sorry, wasn't too hard; was it?” I says while dropping the paddle.

“No! It was good!” She turns before picking up the paddle and hitting me again. This time with the black domed end.

“Hey! That felt, pretty good”, I smile back as she hits me again, “Yeah swing it!” I shout only to have a shocked Bon Bon staring right at me.

“What's going on here!” Derpy just drops the paddle and walks back from it, until she rests on her haunches; ears down, “Derpy! What where you doing with that?” Bon Bon questions pointing to the paddle. I just sit down looking at the red mark on my flank.

“Um, well, um”. Is all Derpy can say.

“Derpy was helping me get um.....Circulation in my legs, um, yeah”, Derpy looks to me and just nods, “I just grabbed the paddle as it was the closest thing I could find...” Trailing off as I twiddle my hooves.

“You could have asked me or Lyra”, Bon Bon replies. “We really could have shown you what it was used for!”, I swallow. “But now the surprise is ruined, I guess the punishment can wait till tonight”, Bon Bon approaches Derpy and whispers in her ear. At that moment Derpys wings flair up like mine did with Lyra, I look over to them puzzled.

“I can do that Bon Bon”, Derpy says out loud.

“Good girl, be here tonight after closing and the lesson will begin, OK” Bon Bon ruffles Derpys hair.

“Sure will be, bye mister Starstruck”, Derpy giggles as she runs out.

“What was that about? What did you say?” I lean forward, but Bon Bon just laughs picking up the paddle.

“Oh, you'll see, yes; you'll see” Bon Bon says in a dark tone carrying the paddle before she closes the door.

“What the hay, could she mean by that!” I speak walking back to bed, as I slide in, I feel a tingling in my stomach. It shocks me as the only time it tingles is when I know; pain is coming!.
