A NEW LIFE IN A NEW WORLD

Chapter 9

My body slowly awoke to a warm pleasant feeling. It was a nice and even welcome feeling to what I had been dealing with. My eyes opened slightly to see Lightning Dust cuddled up to me, her wing draped over me. I noticed that Trixie was gone and could only assume that she went somewhere. I was expecting her to have been downstairs, but I could hear the sound of falling water. I could feel as the pegasus next to me slightly stirred. I ran my fingers through her mane before giving the top of her head a quick kiss. I watched as her eyes fluttered open and then stared into her golden orbs.

She gave me a small smile as she cuddled closer to me. I looked over at the door to see the unicorn exit the bathroom in a clean pair of clothes. I nudged Lightning and gestured with my head for the shower. She got the hint and got out of bed. I could hear the slight clinking sound of the tag against her collar as she grabbed her clothes and headed for the shower. Trixie walked over to my dresser and started to pull out of my clothes. She placed them on the bed as she gave me a warm smile.

“Twilight has offered you the use of her shower. She has also asked for you to meet her in the kitchen after you shower.” Trixie said.

“Thank you Trixie. After Lightning is done, you both can head for the kitchen and get yourselves some breakfast.” I said.

Trixie gave a slight nod as she took a seat in a nearby chair. I left the bedroom, with clothes in hand and found Twilight’s bedroom. I gave a few knocks on the closed door and waited for a response. Not hearing anything, I opened the door and didn’t find any sign of her. I assumed that she was probably downstairs with Spike. Trixie would not lie to me, so I headed for her nearby bathroom. I caught glimpses of her many scrolls and notes that she occupied herself with. I knew that she was a serious student in her studies, but she went the extra mile.

I closed the bathroom door behind me and went about washing my body.  I walked out of the bathroom, drying my hair and left the room. I threw the towel in a hamper and walked down the stairs. I saw Trixie and Lightning eating their breakfast in silence, Twilight reading a book, and Spike dusting the shelves. Twilight noticed my presence, closing her book, and levitating it back to its rightful place. She got up from her couch, straitening her skirt before walking towards me. She stopped several inches from me as she smiled warmly.

“Pinkie stopped by to let me know that your party was ready. She made sure to invite all of your friends. After you finish with your breakfast, we can head over to Sugarcube Corner.” Twilight said.

I gave a slight nod as I walked over to the table. Lightning got out of her seat and filled my plate with pancakes and eggs. Once the plate was filled, Trixie took it in her magic and set it in front of me. I grabbed my utensils, only to have them taken from me. I looked at Trixie who handed my other fork to Lightning and they walked towards me. I didn’t say anything as they both sat in my lap and started to feed me. They seemed happy with what they were doing, so I just let them do as they please since it also didn’t cause any problems.

Breakfast went surprisingly quick as Trixie took away my plate and washed it. With breakfast pretty much out of the way, Twilight told Spike that he was in charge for the rest of the day and we headed out.  My submissives stood at my side as Twilight tried to find a way to be next to me. I helped her by moving Trixie a little more to my front. Twilight smiled as she got up next to me and just let out a sigh of happiness. It didn’t take long to reach our destination and I couldn’t help but enjoy the smell coming off the building. I reached out to the door knob and opened the door.

“SURPRISE!” All the ponies in the building screamed at me.

I saw Lyra, Vinyl, Applejack, Fluttershy, Octavia, Bon Bon, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fiddlesticks, Cloudchasher, Flitter, Cloud Kicker, Amethyst Star, Colgate, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Twinkleshine, Aloe, Lotus, Cheerilee, Daisy, Rose, Lily, and Pinkie Pie. I felt a little sad though because I couldn’t find Luna anywhere. I wasn’t given time to think about it as Pinkie got in front of me with a cupcake. I took the cupcake from her hands and happily ate. She smiled as she saw my happy smile from the delectable treat. Seeing that I was fine for now, she hopped away. I saw Lightning and Trixie be confused about what to do.

“Tonight girls, there are no set rules. Go out, have fun, and at least be kind.” I told them

They both looked at me confused, but seeing my warm smile helped them to calm down. They each smiled as they headed off to go get something to eat and drink. I watched as some of the ponies went about talking with each other and others doing their own thing. Not really sure what to do at this moment, I decided to take a seat in a nearby booth. I wasn’t alone for long as Spitfire and Fleetfoot joined me. The two pegasi seemed to be very affectionate towards me as they each wrapped a tail around my legs.

Spitfire was nuzzled in my chest while Fleetfoot was leaning on my shoulder. They took consideration in making sure that I wasn’t uncomfortable as they were against me. The two mares seemed content with keeping in silence. We weren’t alone for long as Rarity and Fluttershy sat down across from us. I gave each of them a smile as the two mares since I couldn’t do much else

“It seems that you have already made yourself a little famous.” Rarity said with a sly smirk.

“I really don’t know how this happened, but I don’t have any arguments.” I said with a little blush.

“Don’t need to be so embarrassed there Erik. I think it’s very nice that you have expanded yourself to so many mares. You should be quite proud of yourself.” Rarity continued to complement.

“Are you feeling okay?” Fluttershy asked in a timid voice.

“Yeah. I’m feeling great. Again, I’m sorry for passing out on your front deck and causing you to worry.” I assured her.

Fluttershy smiled at the news that I was doing okay. They seemed to have nothing left to say to me and left the booth. They were soon replaced by Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Applejack. I smiled to them as they each gave a smile back. Rainbow though wasn’t only smiling as she stared wide-eyed at the two mares nuzzled against me.

“How in the hay did you get the attention of the top two Wonderbolts?” Dash asked, unbelieving at the sight.

“I just said hello and apparently they wanted to meet me since I first arrived.” I answered.

“Still, that is the SPITFIRE and the FLEETFOOT.” Rainbow said as she gestured to the two mares.

“I guess they just enjoy the thought that I see them as regular ponies more than anything else. I’m not really complaining since it has been fun hanging with everyone here.” I said.

“I really need to know how you do that.” Rainbow thought to herself.

“Have you enjoyed your time here so far Erik?” Twilight asked.

“If you take away the attack of the Ursa Minor and getting beat up by a couple of stallions, everything has been pretty good.” I said.

“Wait, when did you get beat up by two stallions?” Applejack asked.

“I was beat up a couple of days ago. It sucked to be beaten into the ground, but it was better than allowing them to hurt Lightning.” I answered.

“So it’s her fault that you got hurt. I guess I need to teach that mare a lesson.” Rainbow said as she got out of her seat.

“Rainbow, stop. It wasn’t entirely her fault. It could have been any of the ponies here and I still would have done the same. Plus, I think she feels really bad that I got hurt because of that. Hence, the reason why she is being similar to Trixie.” I explained as I gestured to the pegasus.

“Still, she shouldn’t have allowed that to happen.” Rainbow muttered.

“Hey, I’m still here and she wants to better herself. So as I see it, we are pretty much even.” I said.

“Which reminds me Erik, I grabbed some apple treats from my house before I came here. I grabbed a little bit of everything since I wasn’t sure what you would like.” Applejack said as she pulled a bag out.

She placed the big bag on the table and they all left. I opened the bag and started to rifle through everything that she had brought me. There were many apple products ranging from apple pie, caramel apples, and apple fritters. I grabbed a few of the treats for myself and offered some to the two mares. They happily took their treats and ate them along with me. With our treats finished, I noticed that the music was starting to pick up in beat. I looked over to see Vinyl smirk at me as she gestured with her hand that I get up and dance.

It seemed like a good thing to do and I wanted to unwind a bit. I got up from my seat and the two mares followed me. The lights dimmed as multicolored lights started flashing. I saw Vinyl up in her DJ stand and I got a glimpse of something that I thought I wouldn’t see. She took her goggles off so she could adjust them and I saw what her iris color was. It was dark red in color, but it shone in the many flashing lights. She noticed Erik’s gaze and quickly put her goggles on. She quickly got off her stand and disappeared.

I felt bad that she left, probably thinking that I thought bad for her. I excused myself from Spitfire and Fleetfoot and went to look for Vinyl. I was glad that the mares easily let me by as I looked up and down for the white unicorn. It took a while to find, but I was able to find her in a booth. She was sitting alone with a drink and I could hear a few sniffles. I carefully walked over to her and knocked on the wood of the booth. She looked up and I saw her tense as she saw me.

“Is everything okay, Vinyl?” I asked with genuine concern.

“I’m doing great Erik. Don’t worry about me. Just go have fun with everypony else.” Vinyl replied, but I could hear the hurt in her voice.

“Is this because your eyes?” I asked her.

“You probably think I’m a monster, don’t you? I wouldn’t blame you since most other ponies think it.” Vinyl said.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. The only thing that I see is a beautiful mare that is special in her own way.” I said.

Vinyl looked up at me and she slowly removed her goggles. Her eyes were closed a few seconds, thinking if she should go through with what she had planned. I gave her the time that she needed and then her eyes slowly opened. Seeing her eyes up close was truly a different experience than from far away. I saw them truly shine as they showed their beauty. She waited for the hate or even the fear, but she didn’t see any in the human. She could see that he didn’t think any less of her eyes and it actually made her feel better.

“Thanks for everything Erik.” Vinyl said as she smiled.

“No problem Vinyl. I’m always here for you if you ever need me.” I said.

“Hello there Erik, Vinyl.” Octavia said as she walked towards them.

“Hey there Octavia. How are you doing?” I asked.

“I’m doing pretty good. Is everything alright?” Octavia asked as she looked at her friend.

“I think that we are doing well.” I answered.

“Are you feeling alright Vinyl?” Octavia asked her friend.

“Yeah, Erik here was just helping me with my eye issue a little.” Vinyl answered.

“So you’re not going to chastise her for her being so different?” Octavia asked a little surprised.

“I don’t really see any reason to. Her eyes make her unique, just like all of your cutie marks. Her eyes just give her something a little more to enjoy.” I answered.

Vinyl gave a small blush at the complement and Octavia had a huge smile. I checked to make sure that she was doing okay and after she assured me she was okay, she headed off back to her stand. Octavia took the initiative and took the human’s hand. She dragged me across the floor and stood in the middle. Her arms were wrapped around me and I did the same. She just moved from side to side and I just followed her pace. She placed her head in the crook of my neck as her eyes closed. She seemed so content in my grasp that it looked adorable.

The dance was soon over and she had a huge blush adorning her face. She gave a small bow and started to leave, but not after smacking my butt with her tail. Once she was gone, I decided to see who else I could find in the crowd of ponies. It was harder to get back to Spitfire and Fleetfoot this time as the mares got a little more touchy. Mares were pressed against my body and I was certain that a few of them grabbed below my waist. Aloe really made it certain after I bumped into her and she was giving me a completely sly smile. I felt the heat run to my face as I turned and continued across the shop. I finally reached the two pegasi after a few gropes and a couple of seductive whispers from Rose, Daisy, and Lily.

“Hey there Erik.” Lyra greeted.

“Hey Lyra. Hey Bon Bon. Are you two having fun?” I asked the two mares.

“We’re doing pretty well.” Bon Bon answered.

The two mares got close to me and started to just slightly nuzzle me. They were calm about it and didn’t really push anything. They both just relished in the fact that they were near me. Both of them let out happy sighs as they just lost themselves near me. I gave each of them a hug and this caused them to lean in closer. We stayed this way for several minutes before they finally let me go. They each gave me a small smile and a kiss on the cheek before letting go. The two of them disappeared with a promise for more conversation later. Fiddlesticks was the next to step next to me.

“It’s so nice to see you again Erik.” Fiddlesticks said.

“It’s great to see you again as well. Where have you been staying?” I asked.

“I’ve been at Applejack’s, helping her with her harvest.” Fiddlesticks answered. She then leaned into me and nuzzled under my chin.

“I wish I could have talked to you more, but I’ve been kind of busy.” I told her.

“It’s fine. I’m just glad that I could make the party and get to see you this way.” Fiddlesticks said as she nuzzled closer.

I was glad to hold her as she let in all the attention I was giving her. She breathed softly as she let her mind wander to happy thoughts. She felt so comfortable around me and it just made her look adorable. It wasn’t long until she broke away and went to find her cousin. I was soon joined by Colgate, Amethyst Star, Twinkleshine, and Cloud Kicker. The four mares took turns as they each gave me a hug. I happily gave them a hug in return as they smiled at me.

“So how have you lovely mares been?” I asked them.

“We’ve been pretty good.” Colgate said in a slight purr.

“We’re just happy to finally have you.” Amethyst Star whispered seductively.

“We could always give you a little service.” Twinkleshine offered and was helped by her friend Cloud Kicker.

I couldn’t help the blush that happened to from on my face. They each were giving me seductive looks and were teasing me with their tails. They continuously teased me and they were getting intense blushes as well. I didn’t bother to push them away since they didn’t push their boundaries. They continued to give me playful smiles before giving a seductive wink and walking away. I took a slow breath as the spa twins joined me.

“Someone is looking a little tense.” Aloe said.

“I agree sister.” Lotus said.

“Hey there Aloe, Lotus.” I greeted the two mares.

“Let us help you relax a little.” Lotus offered.

I didn’t say anything as they slowly rubbed down my body. I was more tense than I thought I was. Wasn’t entirely surprised though because I had been dealing with some needy mares and it has barely been that long. I gave a few sighs of satisfaction as my muscles finally relaxed. Once they saw that I was calm, they let me go and nuzzled close to me.

“We’re sorry that we couldn’t do much more than that. We promise that if you stop by the spa we will give you a free VIP treatment to help you further.” Aloe offered.

I felt my heart skip a beat, not just from the way she said that, but the small finger trace on my inner thigh. I was ready to say something to her, but she just gave a playful slap on my butt and walked away with her sister. I was ready to pull my hair out at the insanity of these mares, but it was fun in its own way. It could’ve been way worse and I really didn’t have much to complain about. I was enjoying myself and they were enjoying themselves as well. Rose, Daisy, and Lily were the next to approach me.

“Hey there Erik.” Rose happily greeted.

“Hey they girls. How have you been?” I asked.

“We’ve been doing well. Also the flowers are doing better after you moved them.” Lily said.

“That’s good to hear. Are they blooming now?” I asked, happy that the flowers were doing better.

“Yes they are. They have gotten very pretty.” Daisy said.

“I bet they look as beautiful as you three now.” I complemented.

The three mares blushed heavily from the compliment. We just stood around for a few minutes before they each gave me a kiss goodbye. It was weird as they walked away, they were laughing like little school fillies. I just gave a shrug since it helped them to enjoy themselves. Flitter and Cloudchaser were the next to walk up to me. The two mares also seemed to be giving each other an aggressive glare.

“Hey there you two. Is something the matter?” I asked.

“My sister here believes that she is prettier than me.” Cloudchaser said.

“I so am. Why else would Erik have his eyes on me?” Flitter shot back.

“Did I miss something?” I asked, confused as to how this came about.

“Can you just solve this problem we’re having?” Flitter asked.

“I guess I can.” I answered, still unsure about what to do.

Cloudchaser and Flitter looked at each other one final time before facing me. I felt a small trickle of blood fall from my nose as they did their thing. The two mares took off their outer shirts and pressed their arms together. They still had an undershirt on, but I could clearly see the line of their cleavage. Pressing their arms together helped to push them out more and made them very hard to look away from. I was able to get my thoughts back on track when they pulled back and were awaiting my answer.

“I don’t know why you two are fighting over something so pointless. You’re both very beautiful and attractive mares.” I told them.

“One of us has to be prettier than the other.” Cloudchaser said.

“Why must it be like that? You each have your own perks that make you beautiful, so it’s kind of inappropriate to hold such a grudge.” I told them.

The two mares got an embarrassed blush as they took in what I said. They looked at each before giving each other a small apology. They apologized to me as well for their jealously and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek before walking away. I took a small breath now that everything was over and started walking over to the side of the room.

The spa twins easily spotted me and soon pulled me away. They each were on either side of me, their heads buried in my chest. Their arms were wrapped around my own and pressed against their cleavage. Their tails were wrapped around my legs as well as they continued to get closer to me. I could slightly feel the tips of their tails brush against me. I couldn’t help the involuntary shivers as the strands of hair ran along my inner thighs. They looked up at me with lustful eyes and I could see them sparkle slightly. They leaned close to my face and gave a kiss to each side of my cheeks.

I let out a nervous cough as they continued to kiss my cheeks. My attention was pulled from the two mares as I saw the three flower mares approach me. I gave a smile, glad that I was going to probably get some freedom. I didn’t mind the attention from the two mares, but they were crushing me. Daisy and Lily pulled the mares off as Rose pulled me away. I gladly took in some air, but lost it again when all three of the flower mares were against me. I suppressed a groan as their advancements were more adventurous than the spa mares. They did the same thing, but were now running their hands all over me. They touched me on my shoulders, back, chest, and paid special attention to below my waist.

Their delicate touches ran over every part of my waist, glad that they weren’t going for something else. I could see that they had a toothy grin as they knew what I was thinking. They planned on going further, but only after they had some fun first. I was about ready to fall to my knees as their touches became more intimate, until I was pulled away. The speed I was pulled surprised me since I didn’t notice any other set of mares walk towards me. My head slowly stopped spinning and I could get a better look at what was around me. I kind of wished it took a little longer as I was greeted by a smiling Cloudchaser and her friends.

I knew immediately where this was going and was kind of glad that I was near a booth. I took a seat and the mares didn’t hesitate to get all over me. I was bombarded with small kisses and touches all over my body that they could reach. There was a chance that I wasn’t going to get another rescue, so I just gave in to their ministrations. Their hands were everywhere and I was so certain that one of those hands went into my pants. If it wasn’t for me jumping, whoever put their hand down my pants would have gotten a good feel. I was certain that my clothes were going to be ripped off my body. The next thing I know, the mares were thrown off of me.

I slightly cracked my eyes open to see Trixie levitating the mares off of me and take them away. I saw Lightning Dust walking towards me and flinched when she touched me. Her hand pulled back after my little movement before slowly pushing forward. I looked at her as she gave me a worried look after everything that happened. Trixie was soon at my side and she had the same look. I let out a sigh as they each took a seat next to me and gently held me.

“Are you okay master?” Lightning Dust asked.

“Sort of. I don’t mind the attention, but that was more than I was expecting.” I answered.

“Is there anything that we can do for you master?” Trixie asked.

“If one of you can get me a glass of water that would be great.” I answered, rubbing my temples.

The unicorn left her seat and grabbed a glass of water. She brought it over to me and I took a big gulp from it. That was more stimulation that I had ever endured that I was surprised that I didn’t go into shock. I chuckled slightly at that fact because it would have been an interesting way to go. Dying from having beautiful mares touch me would have made many stories. I placed the cold glass against my head while the mares gently leaned into me. They didn’t do anything, but just nuzzle me. It did many things for my heart as I slowly calmed down.

“Thanks you two. You can go back to the party.” I told the two mares.

“Will you be okay by yourself?” Trixie asked with genuine concern.

“Yeah, I’ll be good. It seems like Twilight and her friends will want to talk to me.” I said as I pointed at the mares.

“Please don’t hesitate to call us over if something happens. I don’t want anything to happen to you master.” Lightning said as she got up.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to ask you both for your help if I need it.” I told her as I kissed each of them on the head.

The two mares blushed as they walked off into the party, but not before looking back at me one last time. Seeing my smile, they turned back around as they went to mingle with the others. I looked over to see Cheerilee join me at the table. She sat across from me and held my hand gently as she gave me a warm smile. I returned her gesture as I straightened myself out in my seat.

“Hey there Erik. Have you been feeling well?” Cheerilee asked.

“I’ve been doing fine. Scars have finally healed and I’m not in pain anymore.” I answered.

“That’s wonderful to hear. I can’t wait to tell all the foals that you’re doing better.” Cheerilee said.

“Which reminds me, I’ll stop by your school in a couple days to introduce myself.” I told her.

“That would mean so much to me- us.” Cheerilee said as she caught herself on her last word.

Her face blushed heavily as she removed her hand and walked away. Once she was gone, Twilight came over and took a seat.

“Enjoying the party Erik?” Twilight asked.

“It has been pretty fun. Have you been enjoying yourself?” I asked the unicorn.

“It has been fun. Got a little better now that I’m sitting here with you.” Twilight said with a small blush.

“Well, I’m glad that I could make it more enjoyable for you.” I told her as I smiled.

Her blush intensified as she let out a small cough and walked away. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were the next to take her place.

“Hey there Erik.” Rainbow said.

“Howdy there.” Applejack greeted.

“Hey girls. Thanks for the apple treats Applejack.” I thanked Applejack.

“It was no problem Erik. If you ever want anymore, just let me know.” Applejack said with a smile.

“Has this party been keeping you entertained?” Rainbow asked as her head laid on the table.

“Kind of, but it could probably have something a little more fun.” I stated.

“I know exactly what to do.” Rainbow said as she shot out of her seat.

“I’m pretty sure that whatever you have planned will only cause problems.” Applejack deadpanned.

“I think you’re just scared that I will beat you in throwing an awesome party just like Pinkie.” Rainbow taunted.

“You’re not pulling me into this.” Applejack stated.

“I’m not doing anything. It’s not my fault that you can’t throw something as awesome as me.” Rainbow started to gloat.

“Now it’s on.” Applejack said, getting out of her seat and Rainbow following behind.

I was left alone again to wonder what just happened. Once the two mares disappeared, I shrugged as whatever they had planned should be interesting. Rarity and Fluttershy were the next to greet me with their presence. I had to try really hard to stare Fluttershy in the eyes and not look down.

“Hello Erik, darling.” Rarity said.

“Good evening.” Fluttershy said meekly.

“Hey there girls. Sorry to see that you have a stain on your dress Rarity.” I said.

I had to hold in my laugh as her eyes grew wide and she looked frantically around her dress. She grew more irritated as she failed to see the stain. I couldn’t take it anymore and let my laughter out. She turned around and her face grew slightly red in anger.

“That’s not funny.” She stated.

“I thought it was and so did Fluttershy.” Rarity looked over and saw the betrayal as her friend giggled.

“Well played Erik.” Rarity said as she calmed down.

“I’m sorry Rarity, but you wearing a dress here just seemed kind of out of place.” I said as I apologized.

“Oh it’s quite alright Erik.” Rarity said as she gave a little smirk. I didn’t like that smirk she gave.

“So have you thought about the offer?” Fluttershy asked.

“If you’re talking about the one where I go with you and Rarity to the spa, then I think I will. Just let me know when you go.” I said.

“We shall go this weekend since Fluttershy and I go as a weekly get together.” Rarity said.

I smiled, but that soon changed when I felt something brush against my leg. I looked down and didn’t see anything. I looked back at the mares and Rarity was still giving a smirk. I felt the sensation again and looked down. There was still nothing and I was sure I was now going crazy. I rubbed my temples and then felt something grab my leg and give a sudden tug. I looked down and saw Rarity’s tail tying a piece of string around my leg. I felt that I should have been worried about the string, but I was more interested at the ability of her tail. Joke was on her though since I didn’t plan on getting up since I saw Spitfire and Fleetfoot walk towards me. The two mares said their goodbyes as I was joined by the others.

The two pegasi saw me and were immediately by my side again. They were really pressed against my body, but I was glad that they weren’t all over me with their hands. I notice Vinyl go back to the stand and switch to a slower selection of music. I looked over to where I last noticed Octavia and saw her give a small smile. If there was one mare that could get Vinyl to put in more music than what she listened to, it was her. The lights steadied in their flashes and became a solid white. They all focused on me and soon all their eyes were on me.

I gave a slight sigh as I could see what they all wanted. I looked over at Lightning and Trixie who seemed to be conflicted with what to do. They noticed me staring at them and I gave them a nod. There was a chance that I would regret this at the day’s end, but I felt that needed the time to have fun. The mares slowly advanced on me as I started to dance with the two mares wrapped around me. The others didn’t really wait as they danced with me.

I could feel as all their hands rubbed over me and I was glad that there was no groping at this point. I could feel the hot breath of each mare as they danced with me and it felt wonderful. I opened my eyes that were closed during the slow dance and was met with a lot of pink. I looked down to see an ocean of blue staring up at me. Pinkie was smiling brightly as she pressed herself as close as she could to me. She seemed really calm with being against me. I saw that I had movement with my arms and wrapped them around Pinkie.

“You’re a very kind person, Erik.” Pinkie said as she buried her face in my chest.

“I just do what I can.” I told her.

“Do you consider us your friends?” Pinkie asked.

“I may have been here for only a couple of days, but I consider all of you my friends.” I told her.

“I’m sorry that Luna couldn’t be here.” Pinkie apologized.

“It’s okay Pinkie. I bet she had some important business to deal with.” I assured her.

There was no more talking between me and any of the mares as they continued to rub against me and touch me with their hangs. Before their hands were needy and grabbing everything they could. Now that we were settling in the dance, their touches became gentle and caring. It was nice to feel something so soft against my skin. The party was starting to die down and I went back to the booth. The thought of Luna not being at the party was now weighing heavily on my thoughts as I sat there. The two pegasi were nuzzled against me, but I guess my nervousness was keeping them from relaxing as they both stared at me.

Spitfire could see that something was wrong with Erik. She moved herself upright and Fleetfoot did the same as she could also see the problem. It hurt to see the human so hurt and she wanted to know what she could do to help. She cleared her throat to get his attention before she spoke.

“Is everything okay Erik? You seem a little down.” Spitfire said in a concerned voice.

“I was hoping that Luna would be here. It’s great seeing every other mare, but I would have also liked to see her. Even with her little antics, she is a fun pony to be around.” I said.

Spitfire looked at her friend and she knew what they needed to do. After the party they would head to see Luna and see if everything was okay. Luna would always be up for a party, especially if it was about the new human that was in Equestria. Her not being here really raised a lot of questions and they needed to get some answers. With that decided, they nuzzled in back to Erik as they waited for the party to completely die down.

____________________________________________________

Luna's Pov

Luna stood out on her balcony, staring up at her moon. A million thoughts ran through her mind, but the one that returned the most was about her and Erik. Her mind went back to when she gave Erik a kiss. It felt so right when she did it, but now, she had no idea what to do. Her face was burning with an intense blush as she thought about kissing her fellow human. She felt bad that she wasn’t at the party that Pinkie had invited her to. She wanted to go, but she didn’t know what Erik would do when he saw her again. She didn’t really leave on a good term without telling why she did what she did.

With the night now completely growing, she was left to fester with her thoughts. Everything seemed to have been going so right and now she didn’t know what to do. She knew that Erik would be going to sleep soon, but she didn’t feel like seeing him in his dreams. There was no doubt that he was probably angry about what she did and wouldn’t want to see her again. She could understand if he never wanted to see her again. With those thoughts plaguing her mind, she went to bed and just let her tears fall from her face.
