Author's Note

Sorry guys for the delay of the update, we've just been doing a lot of work on another collab called 'A Nightmare Returns' please if you like any of this and would be interested, go read that one and tell us what you think.

Five

After so long, we found the first of many survivors, Arching ‘Archie’ Arrow. We found her when we were separated, Fluttershy and I. We were searching Town Hall when we found her, I didn't think we’d ever find her, or better yet anypony.

But for now I must return to the rest of the group, for all I know the dead could be upon us very soon.

Arching Arrow blinked herself into consciousness. For a moment, she wondered where she was, the surroundings unfamiliar to her. She calmed once she realized she was in the bunker in which Mist and the others had been living in. She got up, carefully avoiding the others, and sat down, slumped against a wall.

Arching Arrow was a blue-green unicorn, with a flowing golden mane and tail that had been smeared with grime and dirt from outside. Her brown eyes surveyed the room, attaching themselves to each pony. Around her neck was a necklace, the ornate jewel set into it close to her. She looked down at it. She hadn’t taken it off in years. Finally, Archie looked down at her own cutie mark thoughtfully. Three heart shaped balloons were emblazoned on the flank. Archie giggled darkly, the irony of the situation hitting her. ‘Yeah… we all need some love in these times.’ She twisted her neck slightly, hearing a few clicks. Her eyes once again looked out, waiting for somepony to wake up.

Mist’s eyes snapped open, sitting up he surveyed the room and eventually his eyes fell upon Archie. “Morning, Sleep well?” he asked as he stood and walked to the store room.

“Better than I have had in a while.” replied Archie.

“I’ve had better myself.” Mist stated. “Tell me, how have you survived so long out there in the open like that?”

“Part luck, part skill.” Archie replied simply. “You learn or you die, simple as that, little brother.”

“I never thought I’d find you out here, I thought you had died with the others. So what is it that brought you here, to Ponyville… or what’s left of it anyway?” Mist asked.

“Was just passing through. Then…” She threw her hands up in the air. “All this shit happened. Lucky I had my bow.”

“And we’re lucky we found you, besides it was you who taught me what I needed to know to survive.” Mist said confidently. “I’m going to check on the supplies and see what we have left, wanna help?”

“Sure… why not?” Archie picked herself up off the ground and followed Mist to the supply room.

It was then that the rest of the group began waking up, Applejack being the first. She stretched her arms and back, sighing as she heard small pops and clicks.

“Looks like we’ve got enough supplies to hold out for the rest of the month, The only problem is… how are we going to gather more when we need to?” Mist asked in a tone that showed his concern for the survival of the group when they run out of supplies.

“That is a problem.” Archie said. “I don’t think we can take any more survivors and keep going for another month… We have to figure out a way to contact someone, the military or something…”

“The military would be best… If they weren’t wiped out.” The pegasus replied. “If not then our chances of survival may be greater than what they are now, when we come across them.”

“Quite right… But there is still the problem of contacting them…”

“That is true… If we could find a radio or the supplies to build one, then we might be able to contact them.” Mist said. “I think the rest of them are waking up, best go and join them.”

The two of them made their way back to the main area, where indeed the others had started to wake up.

Applejack and the other two looked at Mist then to Archie. “Who’s that, Mist?” Applejack asked.

“This is my sister, Arching Arrow, please call her Archie, Nopony calls her by her name unless they want to go through the ringer with her.” Mist explained.

Archie gave a small nod.

“Name’s Applejack, and the other two are Mountain Heart and Fluttershy.” Applejack replied.

Mountain gave a wave and Fluttershy just looked at Archie.

“So you’ve all been together since the start, correct?” Archie asked.

“We have.” Mist replied. “Been that way ever since, and we have come to learn from each other as well.”

“I’ve been on my own most of the time.” Archie said, a little sadness in her voice.

“I need to know something, it’s mother, father and Midnight, are they alive or are they…” Mist hesitated for a minute. “d-dead?”

“I-I don’t know… I wasn’t near them when it all happened.” replied Archie.

Mist’s ears drooped, a few tears building up in his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away. “So, for all we know, they’re pretty much dead, unless we find them or they find us?”

“That seems to be the case.” replied Archie.

“I-I just feel so bad for leaving you and them all behind like I did when I left and came here before the nukes hit, I just feel so horrible for doing that.” Mist said, his voice wavering between anger and sadness.

“Mist… that was all in the past. You can’t change it.”

“All I have left of them now is the memories and the pain I brought on myself for leaving, I wish I could go back, but now that opportunity is gone.”

“Mist… If you hadn’t of left… you might have died.”

“All I know is that right now, You, Fluttershy, Applejack and Mountain are all I have left in this world, they are like family to me now, you are family, you four are all I have left.” Mist said, his head hung low as the memories recurred in his mind, causing him to hit his knees, weeping silently.

Fluttershy walked over to Mist, hugging him tightly.

Mist threw his hooves around Fluttershy, weakly hugging her back and burying his face into her shoulder.

“It’s okay, Mist.” Fluttershy said, rubbing her hooves against his back.

Mist only continued his sobbing, letting his emotions flow freely.

Applejack walked forward and joined the hugging pair, wrapping her forelegs tightly around both of them.

Mountain followed suit shortly after, whispering words of comfort.

Archie just watched the huddled group, not wanting to join in with the emotions being thrown about.

After what seemed like hours, Mist finally calmed down. "Sorry about that, it's just… memories and emotions, you know?" he said past light sniffles as he wiped away his tears.

“Try and get them under control, won’t you brother?” scolded Archie. “I don’t want you breaking down like that when you’re out there.” She jerked her head at the door, separating the land of the dead from themselves.

"I'm as close to cold as steel out there as I can be while still caring for everypony around me, but in here, it's a different story." Mist explained. "In here, I feel broken because of all the memories this has brought on me, all the time, sometimes the pressure gets to be too much for me to bare, but this is the only place I let my emotions run it's course freely. I'm actually relieved to see that you still live, sister."

“I’d be glad if we saw anypony live after all of this.” replied Archie, a little cooly.

"But now that this has happened, we have all lost somepony close to us, and those of us that still live, most have found survivors and love or are still searching for survivors." Mist replied.

“Love?” questioned Archie. “You mean, even in all this chaos, you’ve found love?”

"Yes, when I am in here, I have also had the chance to bond with the others, Fluttershy and I, we love each other, that is how strong our bond is, Mountain and Applejack, they also love each other, the love that we have feeds our will to survive." Mist answered.

‘Huh… maybe I was wrong. Maybe love can survive in a terrible calamity like this one.’ thought Archie.

Mountain stood up, stretching his limbs. "Well, we've got another long day ahead of us, we need to get out there and continue searching. Archie, you can chose to come with us or stay with Mist and Fluttershy, it's up to you."

Archie sighed. “I’ve been out there long enough, I need to rest someplace safe for a change. So I’ll stay with Mist and Fluttershy, if you don’t mind.”

"Just promise us you'll not let anything happen to those two." Mountain said. "Being that you are Mist’s sister, I trust you to ensure their safety."

“You can trust me… I just hope that you two don’t die out there."

"Don't worry, we'll come back, we might have some close encounters but we will make it back before the day ends." Applejack assured as she suited up and armed herself with a 12 gauge shotgun.

“Be careful you two… and stay close.” said Mist.

With that, Mountain and Applejack made for the door to begin their search opening and closing the first door before repeating the process with the second.

"So, how long have you been out there?" Fluttershy asked curiously.

"Ever since this all began." Archie replied. "After that, nothing. I saw no one apart from the dead walking about. Until you two showed up that is."

“Where were you when it started?” Mist asked.

"In Ponyville. Managed to find my way to a shelter before it all went to shit. Unfortunately, that one was not as stocked as this one, so I left it behind."

“So… in a way you were searching for us, right? You were searching for better shelter with better stock?” Mist questioned.

"In a way, that was what exactly what I was doing."

“And finding us just made your search for better stocked shelter easier.” Mist added.

Archie laughed. "Why, yes it has."

“But one of our greatest concerns is where will we go once this shelter runs out of supplies, food and water?”

"Of course... But let's hope that we find something soon." Archie replied. "Despite my searching, I found nothing when I was out there."

“And if we do find anything, how do we know how long it will last before we have to travel again?”

"We don't."
______________________________________________________________________________

“I hope they’ll be alright back there. I mean, I trust Archie, but, what if something goes wrong” Applejack asked.

"I'm sure they have the strength to fight back and escape." replied Mountain. "Mist and Fluttershy are close and Archie is Mist's sister, so they'll fight for each other."

“I’m just so worried that they might not make it out if they need to, I don’t want to lose the last of my friends.”

"Hey... You don't know if your other friends out there survived. Just hope for the best and maybe you'll see them again."

“That’s all I really can do. I hope the rest of them are still alive, I’d hate to see them wind up like Twilight.” Applejack said, stifling her emotions.

Just as Mountain was about to respond, there was the sound of hoofsteps behind them and a low groan. Mountain whipped around to attempt to kill the zompony but was rushed at the last second, being pinned to a nearby wall, holding the dead pony’s jaws away from him.

All that could be heard, besides the snarls of the zompony gnashing its jaws at Mountain, was the crack of a rifle in the distance, then the splattering of the zompony’s brain, the dead pony falling dead once again.

“Who ever took that shot... is a damn good shot, nearly took my face off.” Mountain said, panting from his encounter.

“Yeah… but… where is the pony who saved you?” Applejack asked. “We could most likely use their help.”

"I don't know, maybe he'll come to us." Mountain replied.

They stood for a while and watched the place where the bullet had come from, seeing nothing. However… none of them noticed the unnatural mist that had formed behind them.
______________________________________________________________________________

"I was wondering, what will happen if Princess Celestia didn't survive? What would we do to run Equestria without proper leadership?" Mist asked.

“I don’t know.” replied Archie. “Anything could happen…”

“What could be worse than the sun possibly burning out?” Mist asked. “What are the chances that the sun could go supernova and destroy everything?”

“I don’t know… but that should have already happened by now if it did… Maybe, assuming the princess is dead, its power remains. But probably not for long… we need to find another alicorn princess capable as soon as possible.” Archie glanced over at Fluttershy, who was quivering slightly. She lent forward, whispering into Mist’s ear. “Mind keeping the death talk to a minimum… your marefriend over there is getting scared.”

“Oh… sorry… I didn’t mean to frighten anypony… it’s just my concern for our survival.” Mist said as he reached to pull Fluttershy into a comforting embrace.

“It-it’s okay.” replied Fluttershy, still quivering in Mist’s embrace.

Continuing to hold Fluttershy close, Mist looked over at Archie with a look that said ‘can you give us a bit of time?’ in his eyes.

Archie stood up, reading Mist’s look perfectly. “I’m going to go check the storeroom again. Maybe we missed some sort of secret passageway filled with supplies or something.” She left, closing the storeroom door behind her.

“Fluttershy…” Mist began, choosing his words carefully. “I didn’t mean to frighten you, and if it’s any consolation, I kinda scared myself talking about it, but I promise I won’t talk about it again unless I absolutely have to, okay?”

“O-okay…” Fluttershy whispered, blinking back a few tears.

Having said what he needed to say, he leaned in and pulled Fluttershy closer, gently planting his lips on hers.

Fluttershy slowly returned the kiss, placing her own forelegs around Mist in warm comfort.

Before things could go too far, Mist broke the kiss. “I don’t think I’m ready for the next step yet.” he said. “I’m gonna go and see if Archie has found anything that we may have missed when we searched the place the first time.”

Fluttershy blushed when Mist said ‘the next step’. “O-of course… T-take your t-time.”

With that, Mist kissed Fluttershy once more before standing up and heading into the storeroom. “Hey Archie, did you find anything that we missed this morning?”

Archie stopped and turned around to look at Mist. “Nothing… so far at least.” She sighed. “I’m surprised that you aren’t in there with her,” Archie gestured to the open door, leading back to the main room. “she is your marefriend after all.”

“I know, but there’s something else I wanted to ask you.” Mist replied, nervous about the fact that he was about to ask about such a sensitive subject.

“Go ahead.” said Archie, waiting for Mist to say something.

“I know this is quite a sensitive subject, but…” Mist paused for a moment, trying to find the words. “How would I know if I’m ready to… you know… take my relationship with Fluttershy to the next level?”

Archie paused for a second. “Well… firstly, you just met her. Maybe wait, and see how it goes. Secondly, it’s a trying time right now, and someone like her would try and latch onto anypony to keep herself sane, so maybe she doesn’t like you at all, BUT…” The last word came louder than the others, as Mist had opened his mouth to argue. “That doesn’t seem to be the case. And lastly… you know she’s in heat… right?”

“Well, now that you mention it. I have been a bit… drawn to her in that manner… it’s just that I don’t know if I am ready to do that.”

“Then don’t, but I warn you… Lust can make even the sweetest of mares turn wild. She is no exception.”

“I can’t let that happen, I have to be ready… for her. I have to be. I need to be.” Mist said, a sudden air of confidence surrounding him.

Archie placed a hand on her brother’s shoulder. “Don’t rush into anything you don’t want to do, just play it safe, like you do when you’re out in the destroyed ruins outside.”

“I will wait for her, Archie, I will be ready when she needs me to be.”

“Then go back to her. I’ll keep trying to find anything useful in here.”

Mist nodded and headed back into the room with Fluttershy, resuming his place beside her, holding her close.

“Archie find anything?” asked Fluttershy.

“Not yet.” Mist replied before clearing his throat. “Umm… Fluttershy…”

“Yes?”

“I had a bit of a discussion about my… uncertainty of taking our relationship to the next level… and… I just wanted to tell you that I’m ready when you need me to be.” Mist said, hoping that he hadn’t just messed things up.

Fluttershy blushed. “Oh, um… it’s fine. I don’t mind staying like this for now.”

Mist snuggled closer to Fluttershy and nuzzled her chin affectionately.

Fluttershy snuggled closely against Mist. “Um…” she blushed. “There’s something I really have to tell you… It’s kind of embarrassing...”

“What is it?” Mist replied with a soft, caring tone.

“Well… I’m kinda… in heat…” Fluttershy blushed a deep shade of crimson.

“So… you want me to… help you with your heat?” Mist asked, cautiously approaching the subject at hand.

If Fluttershy could have blushed anymore, she would have. However, when you’re whole face is a deep shade of red, there’s not much left to go onto. “Well… no… I think I can restrain myself for now…”

“I understand. All you have to do is let me know when you want me to help and I’ll be ready, okay?”

“Umm… Okay.”

Mist returned to his affectionate snuggling and nuzzling, giving Fluttershy all of the love he could possibly give to her.
______________________________________________________________________________

Mountain had just finished recovering from his encounter when he turned around and noticed the mist behind them. “Umm… Applejack?”

Applejack turned, staring at the mist. She moved closer to Mountain. “Mist doesn’t act like that.” she stated.

“Whatever is causing this… It’s either friend or foe, but we can’t take any chances so I say we try to get the hell out of here.” Mountain said, turning to get ready to run, but before He could even move. “WAIT!” a voice called. “I’m not going to hurt you.” the dense cloud began to dissipate eventually revealing a pony. Who ever this pony is, they don’t seem to have any hostile intent about them.

The pony in front of them wasn’t wearing any radiation suit, but he seemed to be just fine. He look at both Applejack and Mountain with startlingly blue eyes. His teal mane was brushed in front of one eye, a few black accents through it. His coat was dark grey, almost black, mixing in with the fog that had been there before almost perfected. A rifle was slung over his shoulder, and bat wings protruded from his sides. His cutie mark; a dark cloud, the cliched yellow jagged lighting protruding from it. “I’m not going to hurt you.” he repeated.

“Might I ask who you are and why you aren’t wearing a radiation suit?” Mountain asked.

“I would rather like to know your name first.” replied the bat-pony.

Then I guess introductions will have to wait.” he responded. “Now, why aren’t you in a radiation suit?”

The bat-pony shrugged. "Always had a high tolerance for radiation. With one of those clunky suits on, it becomes very difficult to fire this." He jerked his head back at his rifle. "And lucky you. If I had been wearing one of those, I wouldn't have been able to save your life."

“And it was a close shot, nearly took my face off.”

"Yeah, and so did that." He pointed towards the corpse. "Wouldn't have mattered either way."

“Heh… you’re right about that, I’d rather you nearly take my face off than that thing.” Mountain agreed with a slight chuckle.

“Got any shelter or something? I can’t find anywhere else, and I’d rather not sleep out here any more than I have to.”

“Yeah, just outside town, stick with us and we’ll be there in no time. Keep your rifle ready at all times when you're out here, never know when you’ll need it.”

"Sure." the bat-pony said, readying his rifle. "So are we going straight back to your shelter, or are you guys going to look around a little?"

"We were actually about to head back when you showed up." Applejack replied. "But it wouldn't hurt to look around a little bit more, just not too much longer, search for any supplies that we could possibly use, maybe even a two-way radio."

"Then what are we waiting around here for?" asked the bat-pony. "We should get moving."

"Right, c'mon lets get going." Mountain said as he turned to continue searching.
______________________________________________________________________________

Fluttershy snuggled closer to Mist, feeling her heat rising up slightly as she continued to hug him.

Mist continued to hold Fluttershy close, ready and waiting for her to tell him that she wants his help.

"Hey... Mist?" Fluttershy asked. "A-after everything returns to normal... W-will you stay with me?"

"Always." replied Mist. "I will stay with you for the rest of my days."

Fluttershy smiled and tightened her grip on Mist. "Thank you..."

Mist hugged Fluttershy tightly, followed by a deep kiss, showing all of his love for her.

Fluttershy pushed Mist to the ground, still with their lips interlocked together.

Mist gave no resistance when Fluttershy pushed him to his back, instead he began running his forelegs along her back.

Fluttershy moaned slightly into the kiss, still vigorously kissing Mist.

Mist began rubbing between Fluttershy's wings, keeping his lips locked with hers.

Fluttershy broke the kiss, gasping as Mist rubbed close to her sensitive wings. She got off Mist, her back turned to him. "Could you preen my wings?" she asked. "And give me a back rub at the same time?"

"I'll do my very best." Mist replied.

Fluttershy shuffled her wings at the stallion behind them, practically begging for him to rub them.

Mist began massaging Fluttershy's back as he searched her wings for any bent or broken feathers and plucking them carefully, sensually rubbing along each wing when he finished preening both of her wings.

The yellow mare moaned. "Mmmm... Don't stop, Mist..."

Mist continued massaging, working her tensed muscles loose, relieving the tension.

Fluttershy shook and collasped to the ground, her wings sticking up at Mist.

Mist giggled a bit. "Somepony really is enjoying herself, am I right?" Once he had finished with Fluttershy's back he went back to rubbing her stiffened wings.

Fluttershy didn't answer, the pleasure rubbing through her back rendering her speechless.

Mist stopped rubbing Fluttershy's wings. "Would you like to return the favor?" He asked.

"Y-yes. I'd love to."

Mist gave a loving smile before quickly kissing her on the lips and turning around, presenting his back and wings.

Fluttershy slowly grabbed Mist's wings, rubbing them slowly as she searched for loose, bent or broken feathers. Plucking them out neatly, she moved on, starting to rub Mist’s back.

Mist shuddered as pleasure ran from his wings to his spine, causing it to run along his back.

“You seem to be enjoying yourself.” said Fluttershy, alternating between rubbing Mist’s back and his wings.

Being rendered speechless by pleasure, Mist could only groan his approval.

Fluttershy dug her hooves into Mist’s back, nuzzling into his wings as she did so.

“Ohhhh… Right there.” Mist moaned as Fluttershy reached the small of his back.

Fluttershy continued, pushing forcefully into the spot where Mist had jerked with pleasure.

The pleasure overwhelmed Mist, causing him to seize up and collapse.

“Are you okay?” asked Fluttershy, still digging her hooves into Mist’s back.

“I… I’m f-fine… it just… feels really good.” Mist breathed.

Fluttershy nuzzled against Mist’s wings, feeling them pulse slightly. She started rubbing her hooves against them again.

Mist moaned as the pleasure from his wings again shot it’s way up and down his spine, he didn’t even notice his throbbing member because of the pleasure he was receiving already.

Fluttershy however, noticed. She blushed. “Ummm… M-Mist?”

Mist looked up at Fluttershy. “Yes?”

“Your… um…” Fluttershy couldn’t say it, so she looked down at Mist’s member, hoping that Mist would realize what she meant.

Mist looked down and his eyes went wide with utter surprise. “Whoa! When did that happen? Dammit, what am I going to do about it?”

“It- it only happened just then… Well, I only just noticed it then but…” Fluttershy blushed again.

“I guess I’ll just have to tough it out.” Mist groaned. ‘I hope Archie doesn’t see me like this.’

“I’m sure that she’ll stay in there.” Fluttershy said.

“Well… I-I really don’t like springing a… umm… well, you know what I mean... in front of her. I just get... uncomfortable when she sees me like this.” Mist stated with a blush as he tried to ignore his raging boner.

“Well of course you would. She is your sister.” replied Fluttershy.

“I-I just don’t know how to handle it without her suddenly walking in.” Mist said. “I’ve never had those types of thoughts about her and I never want to.”

“That’s good.” replied Fluttershy. They both sat in the awkward silence that followed. But, no matter how long they sat there, Mist still remained aroused.

______________________________________________________________________________

“Hey, over here, found something.” Mountain called out to the other two.

“What?” quickly replied the bat pony. rushing over.

“Can’t tell, help me get the debris off of it.” Mountain said as he began pushing large debris off of what he had found.

The bat pony and AJ started to help, shifting large rocks and debris off whatever Mountain had found.

After a moment of shifting and digging through the debris, the item was uncovered. “While it isn’t a radio or a weapon, It might serve a purpose in other ways essential to our survival.” Mountain stated. “But I haven’t seen any of these in my travels. Either of you two know what it is?”

“Whatever it is… do ya’ll still think it works?” asked Applejack.

“Maybe, I don’t yet know.” Mountain replied, opening his mouth to speak again but was‘cut off when the bat pony stepped in.

“A water purifier.” the bat pony explained. “It’ll clean up the water when we’re out here looking for supplies or are traveling to another shelter or relatively safe area.

"Then we should take it with us." Mountain said, lifting it off the ground. "It's a little heavy."

The bat pony and Applejack were soon lifting the other end of the weighty object. “Let’s get this thing back to the shelter as quick as we possibly can, I’d rather not get caught in a mess of undead while carrying this.” Applejack stated.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want to either." agreed the bat pony agreed.

With everypony in agreement to heading back with the water purifier, they were on their way.

______________________________________________________________________________

Still sitting in silence, Mist’s erection was still throbbing. ‘What am I going to do if Archie walks in here with… this... What will I do?’ he quivered at the thought of what could go wrong, also fearing what his sister might think as he sat there. ‘I can’t lie to her… she knows when I am lying.’

"I'm sure she'll understand." said Fluttershy. "She is your sister after all."

“I just don’t want her getting the wrong impression, that’s all. I don’t want her thinking that I’m some sort of… ugh… I don’t even want to say it.” Mist replied in a defeated tone.

Fluttershy moved and cuddled against Mist. "It'll be fine."

“But… What if she does think that of me if she sees me like this?” Mist asked as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Well... Then we'll have to do something before she comes." Fluttershy suggested.

“W-Wait... are you suggesting that we… d-do it? I-I mean, I know I said I would be ready when you wanted me to help, but, i-is this your way of letting me know?” Mist asked, worried that Fluttershy might be pushing herself to do something she doesn’t want to do just yet.

Fluttershy blushed. “No! I just thought… we could do something small…”

“I-I was just wanting to make sure you weren’t forcing yourself to do something you weren’t ready to do.” Mist said, hugging Fluttershy tight. “I’ll do whatever you want to do.”

“No, nothing like that…” replied Fluttershy. “I just thought we could do something to help you out slightly.”

“Like what?” the stallion asked curiously, wondering what Fluttershy had in mind.

“Well… ummm…” Fluttershy blushed, unable to say what she wanted to do.

“You can just show me…” Mist said, trying to encourage Fluttershy. “You don’t have to tell me what you intend to do.”

“Ummm… ok.” Fluttershy slowly trailed her hoof down Mist’s front, slightly touching his throbbing member with it.

Mist flinched with pleasure as he felt Fluttershy’s hoof make contact with his erect member. “Ooohhh… th-that feels… g-good…” he moaned lightly.

Fluttershy blushed again, starting to stroke Mist’s shaft slowly.

Mist moaned as Fluttershy began stroking his member, drawing out the pleasurable feeling, a bit of pre leaking from the head of his shaft.

Fluttershy moved her head closer to Mist’s cock and slowly dragged her tongue over the head, tasting the sweet pre from it.

Mist’s eyes rolled to the back of his head at the sensation of the yellow pegasi’s tongue running over the head of his member, causing him to moan even more.

Blushing profusely with the thoughts running through her head, Fluttershy wrapped her mouth around Mist’s shaft, sucking on it slowly.

“Mmmmm… Ohhh yes...” Mist moaned, relishing in the warmth and pleasure of his marefriends mouth sucking on his shaft.

Slowly bobbing her head along Mist’s sex, Fluttershy started driving Mist’s pleasure through the roof. Fluttershy couldn’t stop thinking though about how this was the first time she had done this, and she worried about how she might screw it up.

Mist placed a forehoof on Fluttershy’s head, encouraging her to keep going, moaning as he did so.

Fluttershy went deeper, taking more of Mist’s member into her maw. She felt her mouth reach the base of it, and she pulled back up, nearly removing the entire thing from her mouth before going back down again.

Mist moaned loudly as Fluttershy began deepthroating his shaft, hilting deep in her throat.

Moaning and squeaking a little herself, Fluttershy continued sliding her mouth up and down Mist’s member.

It wasn’t long until Mist began to feel that clenching feeling in his gut, he was getting close. “Fluttershy… I-I’m...g-gonna cum… s-soon…” he warned.

Fluttershy's reply was muffled due to Mist's shaft in her mouth, and she continued to suck him off.

Mist was steadily approaching the edge of the orgasmic cliff, slightly bucking his hips as he got closer.

Feeling Mist’s member continuously hit the back of her throat, Fluttershy continued, vigorously sucking Mist off as he neared his peak.

In just moments, Mist was pushed over the edge, howling in orgasmic pleasure, his seed pouring down Fluttershy’s throat.

Fluttershy choked slightly, but managed to swallow most of the liquid. She managed to pull away as the last of Mist's cum landed on her face.

“W-Wow…t-that was… wonderful...” Mist panted heavily, his shaft softening and retracting back into it’s sheath. “T-thank… you…”

"Your... Welcome." breathed Fluttershy, wiping some of the cum from her face and mouth.

“I-I would think that I should give you some pleasure, at least without going as far as… doing it.” Mist breathed.

"But the others have been gone a while, they'll be back soon." Fluttershy said.

“You’re right about that, but don’t you think they’d understand that we were just relieving tension?”

Fluttershy laughed slightly. “You’re not fine with having your sister walk in on us, but with Mountain and Applejack, you have no problem with that?”

“I mean, if you don’t want me to I won’t, it’s just that I want to give what I have received.” Mist replied, blushing slightly.

“Well… I guess that’s fair.” replied Fluttershy, blushing a lot more than Mist.

“Would you like for me to return the favor?” Mist asked.

“S-sure.” Fluttershy said, feeling the heat rise in her cheeks.

With Fluttershy’s response, Mist slowly trailed a forehoof down her midsection and all the way down to her marehood, lightly rubbing it in a circular motion. He pulled Fluttershy into a passionate kiss, locking his lips with hers.

Fluttershy moaned loudly into the kiss, the pleasure making the shy mare almost unresponsive.

Mist began to slowly press the tip of his hoof into Fluttershy’s marehood, covering it in her arousal.

“Ahhhh!” Fluttershy moaned, shivering uncontrollably from the stimulation.

With the kiss broken, Mist began to slowly lower himself, planting sensual kisses down Fluttershy’s midsection and eventually to her marehood. He pulled his hoof away then drew a long slow lick along Fluttershy’s slit.

Fluttershy gasped and fell back onto the floor, panting loudly. “W-wow…” she moaned loudly.

Once Mist had caught sight of Fluttershy’s pleasure bud, He began suckling on it lightly between each lick.

Fluttershy closed her mouth and bit down on her lip so Archie in the next room couldn’t hear her scream in pleasure. A few moans escaped her though.

Hearing her moaning, Mist lightly nibbled on Fluttershy’s buzzer.

Fluttershy bit down even more, piercing her lips lightly with her teeth as she tried to remain quiet enough so Archie couldn’t hear. She was failing terribly though…

Mist then pulled away from Fluttershy’s clit and went to work on probing her marehood with his tongue, trying to coax out what juices he could.

Fluttershy felt herself shivering at every touch Mist gave her. “Ahhh! M-Mist!” she moaned.

Hearing Fluttershy moan his name, he began digging deeper with his tongue, parting Fluttershy’s lower lips as he pressed deeper.

Closing her eyes and panting frantically, Fluttershy pushed her hips towards Mist, silently begging for him to continue.

Mist obliged by thrusting his tongue as deep as he could get it, shoving his face into her marehood, eating her out deeply.

“Oh… M-Mist… I can’t keep quiet…” breathed Fluttershy, trying not to scream Mist’s name.

Mist stopped for a moment and pulled away. “Just enjoy it, that’s all you have to do. I didn’t care if she heard me howling like I was.” he said before diving back in and eating Fluttershy out once more.

Fluttershy started panting hard, drawing deep breaths. She held back a few more screams as Mist lapped at her marehood.

Mist moved a forehoof up and began rubbing Fluttershy’s flank where her cutie mark resided, digging as deep as he possibly could into her marehood, trying to bring her to orgasm.

Fluttershy moaned loudly, unable to contain herself anymore. She felt pleasure surge through her entire body and she screamed in pleasure as she hit her orgasm.

Mist swallowed as much of Fluttershy’s marecum as he possibly could before it spilled past his lips. He then went to lick her marehood clean of her juices.

Mountain, Applejack and the bat pony were just about to reach the shelter when Mountain stopped and looked at the bat pony. “Hey, would you happen to know anything about the princesses at the moment? Have you seen them or even heard from them?”

“Nah.” The bat-pony shrugged. “Nothing. I just hope at least one of them is alive.”

“We all hope that they still live.”

“Yeah.” The bat-pony sighed.

“Well… we’d better hurry up and get this thing to the shelter and ourselves.”

“Agreed.” said Applejack.

The three of them walked towards the shelter door.

Once they arrived, they set down the water purifier so that Mountain could get the door open.

“Wait…” the bat pony said. “I guess… We should introduce each other now. I can’t trust you if I don’t even know your names.”

“I guess you’re right, the name’s Mountain Heart, just call me Mountain.” Mountain said before reaching for the door.

“I’m Applejack.” replied AJ, looking at the bat pony with anticipation.

“I’m Crescent.” he said. “I came to Ponyville for a visit with my parents. We were separated when this whole thing happened. I have no idea what’s happened to them… or even if
they are alive.”

“We’ll help you find them.” Mountain replied. “Now we should get inside before we risk getting swarmed.” he said as he opened the outer door to the shelter and using his magic to help lift the water purifier. He entered the shelter and nearly dropped it, his magic wavering slightly at what he saw. “Uh… guys…” he whispered back to the two of them. “Maybe we should check around a little more…”

Mist pulled his head from between Fluttershy’s legs, unexpectant of their arrival, and turned around. What he saw shocked him. “WAIT…” He called once he shook of the shocked expression. “We were just finishing up. Let me explain everything to you.”

Crescent sighed. “If this is what you guys do when one pair is out risking their lives, then count me out.”

“N-No it’s not like that.” Mist stated. “We were just… relieving some tension, besides I was just returning the favor for her helping me out. We don’t always do this it’s just that this was the only way to relieve our tension for the moment.”

Crescent shrugged. “Whatever.”

“Anyway, the name’s Mist.”

Fluttershy was quivering at the realization that she and Mist had been caught. “F- Fluttershy.”

“Crescent.” the bat pony said. “Thanks to me, this guy here,” He punched Mountain lightly on the shoulder. “was able to live another day.”

Soon after Crecent introduced himself to the two, Archie came out of the store room. “Who’s the bat pony?” she said, staring directly at Crescent.

Crescent froze. “You… I’ve seen you before…”

Archie looked confused. “What do you mean you’ve seen me before?”

“I’ve seen you before… through a sniper scope aimed at your head…”

“And now that that’s been cleared up, who are you?” Archie asked

“Crescent.”

“So, Crescent, before I introduce myself, why exactly were you aiming at my head?”

“It wasn’t me.” replied Crescent. “I was with another survivor. He aimed at your head and asked me if I knew you at all. Of course, I had no clue. When I realised that he was going to kill you, I stopped him. Violently…”

“Then you have my thanks for that. My name is Arching Arrow, just call me Archie, unless you want to go through the ringer.”

“Pleasure to see you alive, Ms Arrow.”

“My, what a gentlecolt. I see even etiquette still survives in the wastes.” Archie replied. “I wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for my brother Mist and his marefriend

Crescent shrugged again. “Why be rude to others? Cooperation is the only way to survive out here.”

“It can be hard to trust others in times like these, but I see no reason why I should have a problem with kindness and respect for others.” Archie stated.

“Exactly.”

Mountain stepped in. “Now, Crescent, since you’ve been out there so long, just take a few days to relax before going out again.”

“Fine by me.”

Mist looked at his sister. “Did you find anything in there?”

“Something that looked like a tunnel, but I decided not to check it out alone.” Archie replied.

“We’ll check that out tomorrow then.” Mountain replied.

“Agreed.” said Mist. “Who knows what could await us at the end of it.”

“Could be weapons, armor or just a trap.” Applejack added.

“Or just nothing at all…” continued Archie.

“I’m sure you all have to be exhausted from searching and carrying that heavy thing back here.” Mist said, changing the subject.

“And I’m sure you two are a little exhausted yourself…” Mountain said, grinning. “From other means…”

Mist blushed a bit. “Hehe...Yeah… I-I guess you could say that…”

Fluttershy just hid her face behind her mane, not speaking.

“Well I guess it’s best we all get rested up for tomorrow. if tomorrow hasn’t already come.” Mist said as he laid down on his bedroll.

“I can never tell.” Mountain replied, lying on his own bedroll.

Fluttershy said nothing and laid down next to Mist, who wrapped his forelegs around her.

Crescent looked around. “Do you guys have any other bedrolls? I seem to not have one.”

“There should be a spare in the store room in the back.” Applejack said, lying down next to Mountain, on her own bedroll.

Crescent entered the store room and quickly located a spare. Laying it out on the floor, he fell back against it.

Archie stayed up for a bit. ‘How many survivors are out there, hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions, well we’ll never know for sure, but I do hope that the princesses are amongst the survivors.’ she thought to herself before lying down.

There was nothing but silence as Archie lay there, everypony had already fallen asleep. She laid there, waiting for the moment that the darkness of sleep overcomes her.
