At Least They Have Each Other

“Little cloudy isn’t it?” Grazia asked as Shocker laid down the blanket.  She cupped her hoof over her eyes and looked up at the gather clouds in the sky.  She looked over at him afterwards.

Shocker-C merely shrugged and said playfully, “Hey, what’s like without a little risk?”  He plopped down on the red and white checkered picnic blanket and patted the empty spot in front him.

Grazia sighed at her coltfriend’s playful, uncaring demeanor, smiled at him, and then came over to join him.  “You know,” she began, “last time I checked, it was too risky when it involved getting struck by lightning.”  She cocked her eyebrows playfully at him and then used her magic to retrieve the sandwiches and condiments from the basket, all while listening to Shocker’s explanation.

“Well technically,” he started, “you’d be taking a risk regardless.  See, because you’d be at risk for getting struck by lightning.  A risk’s a risk.”

They were both quiet for a moment as Grazia tried to process the ludicrous information she had been told and then they both burst out into laughter.  “You’re so weird,” she said to him as she finished making his sandwich and then passed it over to him.  After that, she made her sandwich and then the two of them ate together, silent some times and talkative others.  It seemed as though the clouds were going to pass over, which Grazia noted, and then asked, “Are you ready for the talent show tomorrow?”  She continued to look up at the sky as she asked her question.

Shocker wrapped his foreleg around her tightly, kissed her on the head, and looked up at the cloud she was looking at.  “Just as ready as you are I guess,” he said and then smiled at her when she looked up at him.  Again, they were silent for a moment and then Shocker broke the silence.  “I know there’s a lot riding on this.  You don’t have to be so worried.  I’m sure that we’ll win.”

Grazia smiled up at him and kissed him back, “You really think so?” she asked.

Once more, he pecked her on the head and said, “I know so.”  He stroked her mane several times and then laid his head down atop her head.  Once more, they slipped into silence as they admired the scenery all around him.  Shortly after that though, his demeanor changed from inconspicuously playful to not-so-inconspicuously playful.  He took a nibble of her ear, knowing that she loved it when he did that.

Grazia giggled and tried feebly to get away from him.  “What are you doing?” she asked as a smile crossed her face.

Shocker kept nibbling for a few moments but then stopped.  A sensuous smile on his face, he told her, “You know, I think I’d be really inspired to do my best if I had a little… pick-me-up.”  He nudged her gently a few times and then finished, “If you know what I mean, of course.”  He finished off by winking at her.

She giggled and blushed.  “I think I might have an idea,” she fiddled around with her mane in a girlish way.  “I don’t know though…” she sighed and then played hard to get, “We are pretty close to the road.”

Shocker looked over and judged the distance to the road.  It was a considerable distance away from them, but if a pony was so inclined to pay really hard attention, they might be spotted.  “So?” Shocker asked and looked at her with sexual adventure keen in his eyes, “Like I said, what’s life without a little risk?”  Grazia merely rolled her eyes and shot a look at him that indicated he would have to do better than that.  “Aww…” Shocker looked at the ground, trying to gather pity for himself.  He was dramatic in his movements at first, but then he looked over at her with a playful look in his eyes and then said, “How ‘bout a quickie?”  He batted his eyes playfully.

Unable to resist his cute ways anymore, Grazia caved in and decided to go ahead and give him what, really, they both wanted.  “Oh alright,” she said like she wasn’t joyed at the concept, though Shocker knew better.  She moved herself around and then kissed him, only to be kissed back by him.  They started out innocently, but then moved on to tongue kissing each other.  Shocker slid his tongue inside of Grazia’s mouth, and likewise she would roll her tongue over his and push it into his mouth when he would retract his own.  As they kept kissing, Grazia could sense that he was becoming aroused.  Surely enough, when she peeked her eye open, she saw that his penis was extending outwards.  A blush on her face, she grabbed it with her magic and then began to stroke and send vibrating sensations through it.

Shocker closed his eyes and ecstasy and soon even began to feel so good that it was all he could do to hold back from cumming.  In an attempt to preoccupy his senses, he kissed Grazia once more.  She knew what he was doing though, and she knew what he must be feeling, so she stopped using her magic and then gently pushed away from him.  In the process, she used her magic to apply a gentle pressure to him which indicated to him that she wanted him to sit down and get onto his back.  He did so, and Grazia laid down in front of him, ready to give him oral sex.

His penis towered over her, but she was ready for the challenge.  She placed it into her mouth, and as she had done before, began to fellate him slowly.  She wasted no time in getting him all the way down her throat, though she kept things nice and slow at first.  As she continued to move her lips up and down on his cock though, she progressively got faster and faster.  She did such an excellent job and just felt so amazing that Shocker found himself hard pressed to hold back from having an orgasm.

The way she moved her lips though, was too much for him.  He foundered and then released!  The majority of his seed went rushing down her throat, but when she pulled off of him prematurely, a good bit of it came splashing onto her face.  She didn’t normally like it when he made a mess of her mane, or her face for that matter, but she decided that she would let it slide on account of they had napkins and she was sure that the “inspirational act” would help them both tomorrow.  They cleaned themselves up and then began to pack up everything that they had brought along for the picnic.  Afterwards, they set back off for the hotel that they were living in for the moment.

They walked along in silence, but each knew that they had the exact same thing on their minds.  The Ponyville Talent Show was coming tomorrow, and grand prize was enough money to buy a house.  It was the break that had been waiting for!  In the meantime though, Shocker was performing backstage work for visiting acts and odd-jobs around town while Grazia served as a waitress at not only one, but two of the restaurants in Ponyville.  Still, it wasn’t enough.  The both of them were very hard workers, but it seemed to be doing them no good.  Earlier in the day, they discovered that now they were dipping into the last of their savings.  Between food, drink, the basic necessities and space at the hotel, their money dwindled quickly.  It seemed like every time they amassed three-hundred bits or more, the next time they would look into their savings they would barely be clutching fifteen bits.

It was very stressful at times, of course, but all wasn’t lost when times were at their darkest.  They knew that if they didn’t have anything other than the hair on their heads, they would still have each other.  Shocker and Grazia shared a bond that was unbreakable by any means.  Seldom did they have to remind themselves of this reality, but when they did it was always a romantic and sweet affair.

They walked on, still in silence, as the sun began to set ahead of them.  Most likely they would have to sneak past the front desk to get up to their room, so they weren’t really in a hurry.  Still though, it might feel nice to get “home”.  Grazia had been waiting tables all day, Shocker had been doing all the heavy lifting for an upcoming concert to take place in Ponyville, and this had been the only time today that they had gotten to see each other.  On the way back to the hotel, when they arrived into Ponyville, it didn’t take long for them to pass by the house.

It was a big, spacious, and roomy home that was two stories tall and seemed to have everything other than a family inside of it.  Ever since they had arrived in Ponyville, bitless and hoping for a fresh start, Grazia and Shocker had longed for the home.  Beating around the bush one day, they had decided to tour it and instantly fell in love with it.  When they would make a run to the market or head off to work, they might notice a family going in to view it.  Naturally, their hearts would sink as they feared that the home would be purchased before they even had a chance at it.  However, by some miracle, when they would walk by later or the next day even, the for sale sign would still be out in front of it and the home would still have that welcoming, yet lonely and unoccupied feel and look about it.

They slowed their pace as they crossed by it, but the Grazia stopped completely.  She stared at it with longing in her eyes and a sense of determination in her soul.  Shocker joined her in looking at it, and wrapped his foreleg around her in the process.  “We’re gonna win this thing,” he said and nodded, both to her and the house, “We’re going to win this thing and then we’re going to move into that house.”

Inexplicably, her confidence dwindled and Grazia became fearful of what might happen if they lost.  Not only would they be homeless, but literally bitless because of the admission fee that was charged.  “What if we don’t?” she asked quietly and glanced down at the ground.

“Well…” Shocker began slowly and then kissed her on the cheek, “at least we’ll have each other.”
