//-------------------------------------------------------// The Blitz -by popflygov- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// A Day Off //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note Went back and made a lot of changes based on a recent critique. If you are a returning reader, I hope you enjoy the new and improved version. A Day Off A day off, the first in a long time for Rainbow Blitz. He couldn't remember the last one he had, though it might not have been that long ago. It didn't matter, because the day was young. He'd done his morning fly practice, and now he wanted to see one of his friends. It would be fun, he thought, to pay a surprise visit to Dusk Shine. So Rainbow took off into the sky, wasting no time. It was a shame his other friends weren't available today, but their work usually didn't align perfectly every time. Applejohn would most likely be working the farm, Bubble Berry would have some kind of party. The only other pony he could think of that would be free besides Dusk Shine was Butter Scotch, but he... wasn't fond of surprises. In fact, a surprise visit could just about put him in the hospital. Dusk on the other hand was an exception, being the town librarian and student of Equestria's Princess left him more time then the rest for hanging out, especially since starting the study of friendship. Blitz planned to make use of that today to hang out with his buddy. He couldn't deny that there was a guilty pleasure in hanging out with him. They had more to talk about, too, since Dusk had exposed Rainbow to the joys of reading. There was more to it then that though. Dusk was somepony Rainbow Blitz enjoyed looking at, even though it was a secret that he liked stallions. The way Dusk walked, the way he could keep his appearance in such a simple and efficient way, the smarts, the magical prowess, the leadership. It was all something Rainbow coveted in a respectful way, and it only made him push himself harder to achieve his own dreams. As he neared the library, he slowed. He scanned to see if Dusk had a window open, a tell-tale sign that he was awake. Sure enough, he spotted one on the top floor near the bedroom. He made a landing on the balcony, his wings instinctively folding to their rested positions as he quietly opened the porch door. He wanted to surprise him, just to see him jump. After all, what good was a surprise visit without a little surprise? He wasn't in the room as he opened the door. He heard soft snoring coming from the upstairs, but that was probably Barb. Then he heard a soft sound, which he assumed was pages turning, coming from the downstairs. He came in and gently closed the door, feeling his heart race with adrenaline at being sneaky. He made his way to the stairs and carefully tip-toed down. If Dusk was reading, he'd have a bad case of tunnel vision which would make him nearly incapable of perceiving the world around him. Rainbow Blitz didn't want to take a chance though, doing his best to avoid the squeaky spots all the way to the bottom. He spotted Dusk laying on the floor, a book open and a quill in his magic grasp. As Blitz made his approach he saw Dusk put the quill in the ink, dabbing a few times, before quickly going back to writing. Rainbow stopped just a few feet behind Dusk, taking slow breaths to stay as quiet as possible. Dusk may not be very athletic, but somehow he just managed to have a perfect shape in Rainbow's eyes. A gently curved rump, a slender back, sleek and closely trimmed coat. Blitz smiled, for it was always a pleasant sight. Perhaps someday he'd try his luck, but until then he'd just enjoy the eye-candy. Rainbow opened his wing and swiftly stepped in beside Dusk on the left side, grabbing his hoof and wrapped his wing around his friend. He was rewarded with a gasp of shock, and an abrupt standing of Dusk. "Hey, Duskie," he said slowly, putting emphasis on the K. Dusk Shine grew wide eyed and noticeably blushed as he looked away. "Rainbow, what are you doing here? I wasn't expecting you," he said coyly. He seemed to snap out of it as Rainbow laughed and came to sit next to Dusk. "I know. I had the day off, though, so I thought I'd stop by and see what kind of egg-head stuff you were up to." Blitz added a wink at the joke, but Dusk didn't seem amused glaring at him with annoyed expression. "Well, I barely just woke up so I haven't gotten a chance to start anything yet." Dusk sighed, and grabbed his book with his magic and stood up. He started walking toward the bookshelf. "Well, I'm not gonna stop you, but lunch is on me later if you want," Blitz offered. Dusk finished putting away the book and then grabbed the quill and ink with his magic. "I ... sure. Just let me take care of a couple things," Dusk said as he set down the items. Blitz smiled, but was starting to wonder if he had made a mistake. "No problem, I'll just grab a book or something," Blitz said. "Hey, did you get that new copy of Daring Do yet?" he asked. Dusk Shine stopped at the question near the top of the stairs. Looking back over his shoulder, he scanned the room."Yeah, I did. Hold on." His horn glowed and a book at the top shelf of the far corner of the room lit up. It floated off the shelf and over toward Rainbow. Blitz held out his hoofs and let the book fall into them, holding it with a huge grin on his face. "Awesome!" he said. "Enjoy. I'll try not to take long, but I was in the middle of something last night and I don't want to lose my momentum," Dusk said. "No problemo, amigo. I'll be here!" Blitz said. And with that, he dove into the book. Blitz was on chapter 4 when he looked at the clock and realized it had been nearly 45 minutes. He closed the book, and sat up giving his back a stretch. He felt his back pop in a few places, letting out a sigh of relief at the ease of tension. He slowly made his way up the steps, feeling antsy. As he got to the top, he saw Dusk standing at a table and diligently working. Many beakers filled with different colored fluids amassed the table in front of him. To his side was a large sheet of paper on an easel, covered in notes and equations that boggled Blitz's mind with their apparent complexity. Blitz walked closer. "How's it coming, Duskie?" he asked. Dusk noticeably flinched and looked back to Blitz over his shoulder. "Just a second, Rainbow," he said almost sounding angry. Blitz couldn't help but feel confused. "Look, if it's a bad time, I can leave. Really. I don't want to be in the way," he said as sincerely as he could. Dusk's expression softened and a noticeable blush appeared on his face. Blitz melted a little at it. "I ... don't mean it like that ..." Dusk started. Blitz started to walk closer starting to feel a vibe that something was bothering his friend. "I just wasn't expecting any company today, and I had plans, and you know how I am about plans." Dusk wasn't crying, but Blitz could hear the wavering of his voice. There must be more to it then that. Yeah, Dusk was OCD, but he should know Blitz well enough to know that it shouldn't bother him. "Hey, no worries, okay?" he said, with a smile and a pat on Dusk's back. "I'll go back downstairs. You just take your time. You know I'm cool." And with that, Blitz started for the steps. Something stopped him however. "Rainbow, wait ..." came the meek voice of Dusk as his hooves wrapped around Blitz. Blitz felt his heart lurch at the contact, such a wonderful feeling! "I'm sorry, I know it seems like I'm blowing you off, but I'm not ... it's just ..." Blitz turned to face Dusk, feeling his face heat up at the closeness. He realized, with a touch of humor, that he was within kissing distance of his friend. "Just what?" Blitz asked softly, a reassuring smile on his face. Dusk let go, but one hoof still lingered on his shoulder before landing softly on the floor. Dusk took a deep breath then looked Blitz in the eyes, "Never mind, I'm sorry. It's nothing bad, I promise. It's just ... something I have to deal with." "Um, hello. Element of Loyalty here," Rainbow said with a salute which got a slight smirk out of Dusk. "I won't judge you. Especially if it's nothing bad." He snickered. "I might laugh, though. I can't promise I won't laugh." With that he had to dodge a playful punch from Dusk to his chest. "But seriously, anything you want to tell me is fair game. I promise you'll always be my friend, even if I have to tell you something you don't like because of it, like ... if it were something bad ... I would do it cause you're my friend." "That's just it Rainbow, I ..." Dusk paused, then looked away. "I ..." Blitz was hanging on every word. Until at last Dusk looked up at Blitz with a pained expression. "I want you to stay my friend, but ... I think ... I might be a colt-cuddler." Dusk looked at the floor feeling shame. "Is that all?" Blitz said without missing a beat. It took a moment for the truth to sink into Blitz's brain, but it slowly did. That meant there was a possibility after all. "Pfft, that's nothing. So am I! So what's next, or can we go back to being happy?" "Wait," said Dusk frowning slightly. "Really?" "Yeah. I'm not out though, so don't tell anypony else," Blitz added quickly. Dusk smiled, for the first time genuinely so far, at the news. "I'm sorry. I guess I was getting worked up over nothing," Dusk said. Blitz did notice now there was a slight awkward tension in the room. It made him smile. He could try to work this toward his plan to seduce Dusk. "You usually do, but don't worry. It's part of your charm," Blitz said with a playful smile. He let his eyes wander to Dusk's hind legs, feeling more comfortable letting them linger for a second. "So how long have you known?" He asked after remaking eye contact. "It's only been recently that I even had the idea that I might be," Dusk replied slowly. "After I moved to Ponyville I started to have strange thoughts. I thought I was a freak. I didn't even know the term colt-cuddler until after I talked with Princess Luna in a dream of mine." "I hate when she does that," said Blitz taking up a spot next to Dusk Shine. "She told me that, while abnormal, it's not something I should feel bad about. She said, 'If it's who you are then embrace it.' I still worried if perhaps I shouldn't tell anypony since I don't know for sure. I've never done anything with anypony, it's just thoughts. For months now I've turned it over and over in my mind, and still don't know if it's just some random thing or more than that." Blitz nodded. Even though the discovery was easy for him, it still wasn't something he wanted public until after he knew it wouldn't matter anymore. He knew it shouldn't, and in a perfect world it wouldn't. But his dream of making it into the Wonderbolts was everything to him, and he didn't want anything potentially construed as negative to impact that. So he kept it a secret. Knowing that Dusk, a stallion he knew he liked, was one also took some of the weight off. "So, have you done it before?" Dusk asked quietly. Blitz jumped a little bit at the realization of what he had just been asked. "Once, a long time ago ... " Blitz said in return. "I see. I was just curious," Dusk said sheepishly. Blitz grinned, and snuggled closer to Dusk. "Curious, huh?" he said jokingly nudging his shoulder with a hoof. Dusk laughed, but he pulled away only slightly. An electrifying eye contact made Blitz's breath hitch. Dusk suddenly became dreamy eyed. "Have you ever ... kissed another pony?" Dusk asked breathy. Their faces were so close that the whips of air coming from Dusk's mouth were enough to make Rainbow's mane jitter slightly. "A few times," said Blitz with a husky voice. He liked where this was going, and couldn't resist anymore. "Close your eyes," He said softly with a slight nudge of his nose on Dusk's face. Dusk complied after taking a deep breath. With his heart hammering in his chest Blitz brought his lips to Dusk's and kissed him. It was a warmth that Blitz longed for and cherished that spread through his body. Being that it was Dusk's first kiss he wanted to make sure that it lasted, so he slowly moved his tongue across the other's lips. He felt a gasp and used that to lightly stroke the inside of his mouth. Dusk moaned and started to relax putting hooves around Blitz's neck. Blitz felt Dusk move his tongue in what seemed like experimental touches that sent tingles down his body. A stirring was felt in his loins, but he relaxed and continued the kiss, breaking for air only for a moment before diving back in. The kiss slowly began to pick up fervor as Dusk began to get used to and even enjoy the moment. As the kiss continued, Blitz started to lean forward lightly pushing a willing Dusk down to his back while allowing some of his weight to press into him. Dusk's hooves began to roam lightly across Blitz's body, savoring the feel of toned muscle under a soft coat of fur as he moaned. He felt Blitz break the kiss, to which Dusk hesitantly did also. However, Blitz smiled and pecked Dusk on the nose. "How was that?" Blitz asked. "It was ... magical. Like I was floating on a cloud," Dusk replied. "Want to keep going?" Blitz asked. He didn't want to rush Dusk, but that kiss left him slightly drunk in the head that he wouldn't say no to going further either. To punctuate the message, he started placing kisses against Dusk's neck, and gently let his stallionhood press down into him. Dusk moaned, but shuddered. "What about Barb? She might hear us ..." Dusk said, worried. "We could always go back downstairs. It's up to you," Blitz suggested. Blitz continued his dizzying assault of kisses and touches and light grinding while Dusk squirmed and bit his lip to bite back a moan. "I, uh, suppose we could ... do that," Dusk managed to gasp out. With that Blitz lifted himself off of Dusk. Rainbow extended a hoof toward Dusk in an invitation. "Come here," he said. Dusk slowly stood up and as he did, Rainbow extended one of his wings and pulled Dusk close so that he was standing flank to flank and shoulder to shoulder with him. He left it there as they walked down the steps. He caught a glimpse of Dusk rock-hard and wet as he was standing up, and that only made Blitz ache more for him. When they got downstairs, Blitz immediately locked lips with Dusk again, causing Dusk to get weak-kneed. Guiding Dusk to the floor, he laid down next to him and began to shower kisses down his body. "Do you want to go first, or should I?" Blitz asked during his barrage. "I don't know. What's the proper way?" Dusk asked shyly. Blitz chuckled at the response. Of course Dusk would worry about procedure and correctness even during something like this. "Tell you what, just do what I do." And with that, Blitz stood and reversed his body so that his rear was now toward Dusk's face. Blitz looked intently at the package before him. While it wasn't long, it was pleasantly average, well shaped with decent thickness. Blitz rubbed it against his face, feeling some of the wetness against his skin. He heard Dusk moan, as his hooves moved on his rear. He caught a sight of Dusk staring at his own erection, slightly longer relative to Dusk and a little thicker. Not wanting to rush Dusk any more then he had already, he decided to leave it there and focus on the other's need. He gently nibbled at the middle of it, causing Dusk to flinch slightly and moan. Then he used his muzzle to push the rod away from his stomach to apply light licks and touches there. He heard Dusk squeak and squirm, so he held on tighter as he licked the head. "Blitz, wait!" Dusk suddenly called out. Blitz looked down, only to see a concerned face. "What should I do?" "Whatever you want," Blitz said with a wink. Dusk smiled, feeling better knowing everything would be fine, and looked back at Blitz's stallionhood with renewed fervor. Blitz hissed as Dusk kissed the shaft, and then gave it a slow, deliberate lick up lingering near the tip. Blitz had to close his eyes and rest his head on Dusk's thigh just from the feeling, but he wouldn't be outdone. Unable to resist any longer, he slowly grabbed the head of Dusk into his mouth and went down. Dusk cried out, louder then anytime before. "Oh my God," he cried. Blitz felt Dusk convulse as he slowly slurped on just the head, using his tongue all around with a little sucking. Dusk hugged tightly to Blitz's rear as he slowly started to bob, and felt his body starting to tense as he held his breathe. "Oh, that feels so good," he cried out to which Blitz felt encouraged. He started to pick up speed, feeling Dusk spasm sporadically each time his member was engulfed. Dusk continued to moan, gripping tighter to Blitz, his head pressing delightfully against Blitz's own throbbing erection as he did. Blitz didn't mind that Dusk was unable to do anything in return yet. Just being able to show is friend what his feelings were was driving him wild with desire. Dusk started meeting the movements of Blitz with slight thrusting, and suddenly grabbed Blitz's member in his mouth. Blitz was thrilled. Even if it was unpracticed, it was still Dusk. That thought alone made him tremble with delight. Blitz suddenly felt a rather large volume of pre ooze out of Dusk and a shudder run though him. Dusk became sporadic with is thrusting and his moans where becoming quicker. Blitz smiled and shivered as Dusk's mouth sent a pleasing vibration down his shaft with each moan. Blitz knew that Dusk was getting close, so he kept up the assault. Soon enough, he felt Dusk's body beginning to tense. "Rainbow!" Dusk cried after letting go of Rainbow's cock to hold onto him for dear life. Blitz felt the shaft in his mouth starting to twitch and Dusk's hind legs begin to tighten around is head. After a few more gasps and high pitched moans it was time. Dusk could barely move, save for full body twitches and spasms. His eyes squinted shut, and his breath came in gasps and pants as he convulsed involuntarily. Blitz didn't stop his actions, allowing the seed of Dusk to enter his mouth as he gushed forth. As Dusk began to settle, Blitz swallowed as he pulled his head back sliding Dusk slowly out of his mouth. His mouth tingled as he gave the member a few comforting strokes which his hoof which caused Dusk to yelp from the sensitivity. "Blitz ..." he gasped, but Rainbow could tell he still didn't have much energy back yet. Blitz just sat up and stroked his friends mane with his hoof. His own erection throbbed, but he ignored it. This was such a special moment in his life that he wasn't worried about it. "So, how was it?" Blitz asked low and quiet. Dusk opened one eye and smiled weakly, then sighed contently. "That felt like I fell from a high place, but landed softly," Dusk said. Rainbow smirked as he continued to massage his friend, moving strands of his mane out of his face. He noticed it was slightly damp, probably from a small amount of perspiration. Dusk suddenly reached out and motioned for Blitz to move closer, and he did. Their lips met in a tender kiss, calm and peaceful. After many seconds, they broke the kiss. "So, should we get lunch now?" Blitz asked, giving Dusk a playful grin. Dusk seemed shocked. "What?" he exclaimed. "I mean, what about you?" "I'm fine, this was very special to me," Blitz said. "You don't have to worry about me right now, I'm satisfied." "But ... I want to. I can't feel satisfied until you've had yours," Dusk pleaded. Then he bit his lip. "So, let's do it," He said bravely. "Are you sure?" Blitz asked, a warm feeling washing through him at the thought of plowing that plot. "It can hurt a little for your first time." Blitz didn't want to discourage Dusk, but his friend deserved to know what he was asking for. "I'm sure this won't be the last time we have some fun, so don't feel rushed." Dusk shook his head. "Now you sound like you don't want to," he said with a slight chuckle. Blitz quickly kissed him in response. "Like hell I don't," Blitz said, resting his forehead against Dusk's after breaking the kiss. Dusk had closed his eyes and took a shaky nervous breath. He was scared, but in a good way. He felt himself stirring at the thought of getting bucked into by the sexy, athletic pegasus. When he opened his eyes he was grinning and biting his lower lip. "No, I've decided. I want this," Dusk said confidently, despite his shaky voice. Blitz shivered at the prospect, but he couldn't turn down that face. "All right, get up on all fours, and I'll do the rest," he said with a wink. Blitz and Dusk both stood, but Dusk also used his magic to grab some pillows from the corner to lay his front half on. He raised his butt into the air, feeling a tingle at the thought of being so exposed and wanting. Blitz sat down behind Dusk, gasping quietly at the sight before him. The beautiful, puckered hole was pristine, and barely had any odor as Blitz began to massage gently. "The key is to stay relaxed, and to not think exactly about what's happening. Just let it happen," Blitz said, coaching. He saw Dusk nod at this, trying his best to just lay into the pillow and let Blitz go to work. Dusk was already hard again at the thought, which helped him feel more confident that this would be amazing once they got started. Blitz gave a kiss to the puckered hole before giving it a slow deliberate lick across it. Dusk squeaked, but then moaned softly. Next, Blitz began working his tongue through the hole, starting it lubricating. Blitz hoped this would be enough, but tried to stay confident that his friend would feel alright. Dusk started to shift around, bouncing his flank in the air slightly as he felt Rainbow's tongue wiggling inside him. It felt strange, but he couldn't deny that it was also exhilarating. Dusk moaned quietly as Blitz's tongue began to get deeper, spreading him open and stretching the skin. "Rainbow, this is so wonderful," Dusk said dreamily. Blitz merely chuckled but remained focused on his task. Blitz began to slurp as his tongue started thrusting, making Dusk grip the pillows in front of him. Dusk could feel the tension slowly leaving his body, replaced by a feeling of pleasure as Blitz continued. Blitz, who had been resting his hoofs on Dusk's flanks, moved one of them between Dusk's legs to message his balls and the base of his shaft. Dusk cried out, and moaned from the touch sending jolts through him. Blitz felt that his friend was nearly ready, and so was he. He thrust his tongue a few more times as deeply as he could get before slipping back out. He spat in both hooves and started rubbing his own cock, making sure to put a nice layer around it. He was so sensitive that he felt his release begin to build just from the light touches. He bit his lip, knowing this would take all his willpower to make it last. He hoped that taking his time during entry would help him back down a little before they really got going. Dusk wasn't helping though, his hole was widened and inviting him with little winks as he looked backed at him through half-lidded eyes panting in desire. Blitz leaned over his friend and aligned himself, not wanting to give the spit a chance to dry before he got in. He rested his hooves against Dusk's flanks before looking down at him. "Ready?" he asked one last time to which Dusk nodded weakly. With that Blitz slowly started to push. He heard Dusk groan and pant quickly as he felt himself starting to slowly stretch the opening. Blitz stopped a moment, pulling back slightly and then dove back in with a little more force. Dusk moaned and bit his lip. This definitely felt awkward to his body, but he knew what to do in his mind. So he took a shaky deep breath and felt his body relax just as Blitz made another push, and before long, Blitz's tip had made it in. Dusk groaned, feeling a shiver of excitement wash over him, and a small drop of pre oozed from his twitching cock. "You're doing good, Duskie," Blitz said soothingly, rubbing his friends lower back and flanks with gentle, relaxing strokes. "Keep pushing down against me now, that will help open you up." He saw Dusk nod quickly, his eyes shut and his mouth hanging open. Blitz made a move to push again and on queue Dusk pushed back and Rainbow felt himself slide in some more. There was the barrier. He knew this would be the hardest part. "That's it, you're so sexy, Duskie," Blitz cooed as he readied for a deep push. With precise timing Dusk pushed back again, and gasped as the barrier was stretched. It hurt, but not enough to stop. They pushed again, and it stretched a little more. Dusk bit his lip, trying not to break the skin. They pushed a third time, and with luck Blitz started passing through. "There we go, that's the hardest part, Dusk." Blitz said. Dusk smiled as he felt his friend sliding into him deeper and deeper, the resistance from before fading as he did. It was warm, and filling, and relaxing; the discomfort of earlier starting to fade. After a few more seconds of slow entry Blitz was finally buried to the hilt, a wave of sensation running through him as he felt the walls of Dusk twitching and hugging around him. It was warm, and stimulating, and he felt the rush beginning to build already and he hadn't even moved yet. "All right, how do you feel?" Blitz asked. Dusk nodded and opened his eyes looking back at Rainbow. "I'm ready," Dusk said confidently. Blitz nodded and started to pull back. As soon as he did, Dusk's eyes closed and his mouth opened in a silent gasp. Blitz was careful not to pull too far back at first, and did his motions in slow, deliberate strokes. But his rush, even from the slow movement was causing him to flinch. He was fighting back everything to take it slow. Dusk seemed to sense this and reached back to grab Blitz's hoof in his. "Don't hold back, this is as much for you as it is me," Dusk panted out in weak bursts. Blitz smiled. "All right then, but just let me know if you need to stop," Blitz responded as he started moving quicker and less precisely. Dusk cried out as the speed increased, and the pleasure started to build quicker then before. His cock was dripping underneath him in a small pool, but that was the least of his worries. Once Rainbow reached a steady rhythm, he layed down on top of Dusk's back and began to thrust harder and quicker. Dusk was moaning, reveling in the sound of his flank meeting Blitz's in a soft slapping sound. "Oh god," he cried. Just as he did, he felt Blitz's hoof grab his throbbing erection and begin stroking in time with his thrusts. "Oh my god," Dusk cried louder. The slapping sound was now echoing through the room as Dusk tried desperately to keep his back up despite the weight of Blitz on it. It was so much stimulation, combined with Blitz now being near his ear. "You're such a sexy beast, Duskie. Don't let anypony tell you otherwise," Blitz moaned out. Blitz wasn't gonna last much longer, and he knew that, but with luck he felt Dusk starting to lose purchase. "Blitz, I'm about to ..." Dusk managed to choke out, but his body started going over the edge. His back legs kept bucking slightly, as his body sporadically tensed up. Blitz kept up the steady assault, feeling Dusk beginning to tense up and finally snap. His body convulsed all over as his spunk splattered all over his hoof and the floor under them. Dusk couldn't help but groan, moan and gasp, with Blitz not far behind. With a few more thrusts he felt his own seed starting to leave him. He did his best to keep going through his orgasm, but it was such a mind numbing event that he felt his whole body lock up as he rode the orgasm to completion. When he finally came back to reality, he was laying on top of Dusk, panting along side him. "That ... was so awesome, Duskie. You're good at this!" Blitz punctuated that with a quick peck on the cheek. Dusk could only smile and chuckle. Dusk's orgasm had felt even more intense then the first. Dusk started laughing louder as he began to come down from his high. "Anyway, not to ruin the moment, but I'm starving now." Blitz just laughed boisterously as he removed his softening member from Dusk. Dusk was so spent that he barely felt it, but still groaned as it slipped past his barrier on the way out. "Well, then we should get you cleaned up," Blitz staggered to his hooves and went to help Dusk up. Suddenly Dusk seemed perplexed. "Blitz, does ... does this mean you'll ... be my colt-friend?" Dusk seemed worried, and Blitz found it hard to smile. "I don't know. You'd be my first one ..." At Dusk's disheartened look, he couldn't take it. He'd be willing to give it a chance even it meant coming out finally. It would be about damn time, he figured. "All right, I accept you as my colt-friend, if you'll have me," Blitz said, bowing. "It's a deal, so let's get cleaned up and get some food." They walked off to the shower room, little to their knowledge that Barb had woken up and been watching them from the top of the stairs. "Ah, how romantic," she sighed. -The End
