"What do you mean we've run out of jewels?" asked Banana Fluff.

"I mean, we've run out of jewels. We have no more jewels. Our jewel supply has hit rock bottom. I don't know how many other ways I can say it," clarified Amethyst Star.

Banana Fluff huffed. "And I suppose you want ME to go out and find some."

"Well, you are the only one of us who has that jewel finding spell," explained the magenta unicorn, "I mean I could go and look for them, but my chances of finding them would be pretty slim. That's how we've always done it. You find 'em, I cut 'em."

Banana sighed resignedly. "Fine! But you know you'll have to look after the fillies now."

Amethyst Star and Banana Fluff were partners in business. They may have squabbled like lovers, but despite occasional rumours to the contrary, they were not partners in any other way.

They did often help each other out with childcare though. Amethyst's little sister Dinky Doo had been Amethyst's responsibility ever since their parents had died. And Banana's daughter Noi had never even met her no-good earth pony father, who had walked out on Banana's life when she was just a pregnant teenager. But Noi and Dinky Doo got on so well, that it only made sense for the two jewellers to frequently foalsit for each other once the fillies' nursery school closed in the afternoon. After all, it didn't take both of them to staff the shop.

With Banana out looking for jewels, Amethyst had to close up the shop to go collect the fillies. She put a notice on the door saying that the jewellers' was closed for the day, and trotted off to the nursery, stopping at the market for a bag of apples. She collected Dinky and Noi from the nursery ponies, and they headed to Banana's house. Amethyst didn't live with Banana, but she had a spare key. She'd often take the kids there rather than to her own house which was a lot further from the nursery, and a long way for Banana to come to collect Noi. Banana lived right near the centre of town, next door to Sweetie and Lyra.

Amethyst let the fillies in, and went to the kitchen to slice some apples for them. They were always hungry and tired after running around at nursery all day. After the fillies had finished eating, Amethyst drew the curtains, and encouraged them to have a little nap on some cushions. They were soon fast asleep. They were good little fillies.

The young unicorn mare decided to have an apple for herself. She took a bite. That was odd. Tasted fine, but it smelt a little funny. Almost like... no, it couldn't be. It will be fine, Amethyst thought, Applejack's never sold me a bad apple. She finished the apple and threw the core into the bin.

Amethyst stretched and yawned. She'd been working her hooves to the bone lately. With the Grand Galloping Gala coming up, she'd had so many orders that she'd been struggling to keep up with them all. It was no wonder they'd run out of jewels. She felt simultaneously tired and stressed. She decided to run herself a bath. She was sure Banana wouldn't mind. She trotted upstairs to the bathroom.

She opened the door and took a deep breath in. Banana Fluff's bathroom was like a green house, full of tropical plants and flowers. Amethyst Star had been here several times before, but each time there were new plants to see. Or old plants that had been little seedlings the last time she'd seen them, but were now in full bloom. She admired Banana's ability to grow them in Ponyville's certainly less than tropical climate. It was like she had two special talents!

She used her magic to turn the taps, and levitated a plug into the plug hole. While the bath filled, she walked from plant to plant, feeling the soft leaves, and smelling the sweet floral scents. One plant in particular caught her eye. It was a succulent plant — like a cactus, but without any spikes. What amused her was that it was almost exactly the size and shape of a stallion's erect member. She giggled at the silly plant.

The bath was now full, so she magically turned the taps off. She floated the yellow flower out of her hair, putting it on a shelf beside the bath, and dipped her front hooves into the tub to check the temperature. Satisfied, she stepped into the bath, lay down, and rolled onto her back.

Amethyst Star knew a cleaning spell, so never needed to bathe for the purposes of hygiene. Rather she did from time to time as a method of relaxation. It was nice to lie in the bath and read a good book. Only she hadn't brought a book today.

The warm water soaked her pale magenta coat, and violet mane and tail, making them each turn a few shades darker. Her short mane swirled around her in the water. She stretched her legs and felt the tension starting to drain out of her.

But there was one type of tension inside her that no amount of water could help with. The life of (effectively) a working single mother didn't leave an awful lot of time to meet stallions, and Amethyst Star was a young mare with sexual needs. Single mothers had to have had sex at least once, she thought! Single sisters on the other hoof...

She knew she was exaggerating — she had lost her virginity a couple of years ago, but recently she was starting to think she might find it again!

Like all mares her age, she was starting to think about finding a stallion that she might one day want to settle down and have foals with. Dinky was starting to get older and wouldn't depend on her forever. Amethyst could imagine herself with a foal or two of her own. Dinky might even be able to help out looking after her little nieces or nephews. It would be like having a proper family again. But as much as she wanted romance, and companionship, and family, right now what she felt she needed was a good hard rut.

Her mind returned to the succulent plant. Something like that could really satisfy her. She levitated it towards the bath and gave it a prod with a hoof. It seemed firm. It wouldn't break off inside her. She shook her head. Was she really considering this?

She stroked the plant, it was perfectly smooth. It seemed bigger than she'd thought earlier. A little longer than a stallion's cock, but around the same girth. Perfect really, provided she didn't go too deep with it. She couldn't think of a good reason not to try this. She'd clean it off afterwards of course. That would be the polite thing to do.

She balanced the plant on the side of the bathtub and stood up. She leaned back while using her magic to tilt the succulent plant towards her. She felt its tip against her foalhole. She pushed back against it and it gently parted her lips.

This felt rather uncomfortable. It was too dry. The water had washed away whatever natural lubricant she would normally have. She glanced around the bathroom... perfect. She levitated a bottle of mane conditioner over to the plant and squirted a large dollop onto the top. It oozed down, covering roughly the top third of the phallus. It looked like a big green cock that had exploded with cum. She didn't know too many green ponies — least of all green stallions.

She lined the plant back up with her passage and started pushing back again. This time, it slid in with relative ease, the cool, firm length soothing her burning desires inch by inch. Once she had about three quarters of its length inside her, she felt that was as deep as it could go.

She used her magic to hold the plant pot against the side of the bath and rocked back and forth against the succulent. Each time it ploughed into her, the conditioner and her own natural lubrication, which was now starting to flow, made a satisfying squelching sound.

It wasn't long at all before she had built up quite a speed. She was dripping wet, and not just from the bath. Her mare cum was forming glistening little rivers down her hind legs, which ran down to join the bath water which was getting splashed around by the unicorn's movements.

With a particularly enthusiastic backwards thrust, Amethyst's back hoofs slipped on the wet surface of the tub and her hind legs fell out from under her, bringing her down onto the plant pot so that the entire length of the succulent plant slid right inside her.

Amethyst Star howled in pain. She'd never had anything so deep in her foalhole. She hadn't even realised it were possible. Why, if she'd had an x-ray spell, she'd wager she could see the tip of the plant at almost chest-level inside her. She stood up again, a little uncomfortably, and used her magic to slowly ease the plant out.

It felt so good on the way out, that her pain was quickly forgotten, and she felt the urge to plunge it all the way in again. She went more slowly, and although it felt a little uncomfortable sliding in, it no longer hurt. And when she pulled it out again, the pleasure it gave her more than made up for any discomfort.

She started rocking against the plant again, this time taking it all the way to the hilt. She moved faster and faster, starting to pant. She could feel a warmth growing in her belly. An orgasm was on the way, but it was still frustratingly out of reach. Normally under these circumstances, she'd apply a hoof to her clitoris to hurry herself along, but she'd already slipped over when standing on all four hoofs, and didn't want to risk three.

Looking around, she spotted that Banana Fluff had one of Colgate's patented magic vibrating toothbrushes. This gave her an idea. She used her levitation to remove the replaceable bristly head of the toothbrush, and floated the base unit between her legs. She magically switched on the toothbrush, and it started vibrating. She held the unit to her clit with her magic. Dear Celestia, this was good! She made a mental note to book a trip to the dentist.

It only took a few more moments before the warmth in her belly became a fire in her loins, and a wave of pleasure swept over her body. Amethyst Star cried out, her muscles clenching around the cock-shaped plant, as she had the most intense orgasm she had experienced in months. She sank down into the luke-warm water, the succulent still inside her, and the plant pot still attached. She closed her eyes in bliss.

After a few moments, she had regained her composure and calmed her breath. She opened her eyes to find herself in a pool of watery mud. She hadn't considered what would happen with the plant pot in the bath. She stood and used a hoof to pull the plug out. The mud gurgled down the drain. For a moment she worried that putting all that mud down Banana Fluff's drain might cause plumbing problems, but it seemed to have all gone down OK.

The mare applied her cleaning spell, wiping away the last of the mud from the bath tub, the vibrating toothbrush, and herself, revealing a perfectly clean magenta unicorn. A perfectly clean magenta unicorn with a plant pot attached to her butt.

She slid the plant out of her foalhole, wincing slightly in discomfort as the thickest part of it went out through the thinnest part of her. Floating the succulent in front of her, she applied the cleaning spell. As good as new. Well, almost. The plant pot was now almost empty of soil. She could fix that later.

She returned the toothbrush to its proper place, and reattached its head.

She climbed out of the bath, walking slightly uncomfortably. That plant had really gone deep. She wasn't sure she'd be able to walk normally for a few hours. She shook her mane dry, floated her yellow flower back into its usual place, and started down the stairs, carrying her lover and his pot with her.

At the bottom of the stairs, she poked her head into the room where the two fillies were sleeping. They still looked soundly asleep. Amethyst Star trotted out the back door into the garden and levitated a small spade to dig up some soil before patting it down in the pot. Perfect.

She trotted back inside and was startled to find Banana Fluff eating a sandwich in the kitchen.

"Ha- have... you been back long?" asked Amethyst.

Banana chewed her mouthful and swallowed. "No, just got back. What are you doing with Bigger Mac?"

Amethyst's eyes shot open in surprise. "Bigger Mac?!"

Banana Fluff blushed. "I-I-I name ALL my plants," she stuttered defensively.

"I was in the bathroom and I must have knocked him over. It made a complete mess. Sorry. Don't worry though: it's all tidy now. I was just repotting him. Ummm... it."

The yellow unicorn smiled. "That's fine." She received the plant into her own levitation field and set it down on a table. "I'm just glad he's OK. He's one of my personal favourites."

Amethyst Star had gotten away with it. "I'll just go and wake Dinky, and then we'll be off home after that." She walked towards the other room.

Banana Fluff eyed her friend curiously. "Why are you walking like that?"

sbloom85:
Banana Fluff uses the same potted plant for the same reason? And its name is "Bigger Mac"? I wonder how Mac feels about being replaced like that?

This story features two background ponies. Amethyst Star you probably know. Banana Fluff is more obscure. I've provided a reference image of them both for you, just in case you need it.
