//-------------------------------------------------------// Why do i need a friend? -by Tom Fast- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Adventure //-------------------------------------------------------// The Adventure "Twilight always told me my life can change at any moment, she was right." In the past week has been crazy for me, I got to write down my feelings before I get lost in them. My dad Spike and I where visiting is very close friend Twilight Sparkle, as my dad talked to Twilight she said I could take a look at her books about dragons. Dad told me there where no books about dragons one hundred years ago but him and Twilight spent a few years a lot of money to study dragons.  I'm part dragon and find reading about dragons fascinating and with this love to study everything dragon but also included magic.   I went to Twilight's room where the dragon books were kept. The had things I already knew about dragons which I learned from my dad but I found a letter in a old expedition folder. In the letter it read, "Dear princess Twilight Sparkle I'm no longer going to finish the research for the Dovahkiin tomb, with a child on the way not going to risk two lives, But please don't stop the search because of me I spent a lot of time on this, from loyal subject subject Daring Do." When I saw Daring Do's name I smiled thinking about how amazing it must have been to work with the legendary adventure pony. Then I looked over the letter again, I was thinking at the same time why I never heard of such a venture from dad or Twilight. Then I wondered what happened, later that evening at the dinner table I brought the letter up. " Twilight why did you never tell me about the expedition with Daring Do?" I asked she responded with a sigh that of a past failure but also something else made an idea in her mind that I wouldn't know about for some time.   "It's not my favorite story to tell."  She smiled at me before looking off to the side. "I asked Daring Do do to help find a magic that was unfamiliar to me, this was the magic of the Dovahkiin a powerful pony that has the power of a the Dragon." Twilight said looking back at me.   "What?! And you never thought of telling me? I'm a powerful dragon mage!" I didn't know why she let me yell the way I did to her maybe because she plan this to happen I thought to my self.   Twilight smiled. "es you are very powerful but I wanted you to make some friends first." she looked at me like she knew something more.   "You wanted me to make friends? Why I can do this on my own?" I said I'm crossing my front hooves, Twilight giggled. "I thought that once to, but friends are the best, always there for you, caring for you, and making any time a good time." A small tear tell from her eye. Right then I felt horrible bringing up old memories but they weren't bad memories  the tear was of happiness.   "Twilight I know I can do this just let me show you give me a chance." I pushed out my chest. "I need you to do something for me Sparity, take Aerial Ace, She's the descendant of Daring Do." Twilight said this to me as if she knew something I didn't. I frowned.  "What if she doesn't want to go?" I asked as Twilight put a bag of bits on the table,   "She will." she giggled and so did I then both mom and dad followed in laughter. Later in the guest bedroom.  I need a list of things I would me on my adventure, two sleeping bags, two ground pads, scratch paper, and water tablets to clean drinking water also two water bottles. I remembered thinking why I had to get Ace, but I never thought I would ever need her. I did find her the next day around the afternoon she was drunk in a pub. Walking inside I smelled the scent of three things one beer and alcohol, two sweat, and the third was something I still don't know. "Um Hello Ms.Ace I'm been sent for-" I was unable to finish my sentence as Ace covered my mouth with a hoof.   "Shhh- baby I'm going to win this bet for you." Ace said this in a mix of charm and drunken speech what was amazingly understandable and very clear. I moved her hoof angrily, she was doing shots with another pony didn't look all that collected as Ace was.   "One hundred and two!" A yellow mane pegasus shouted out making the crowd around the to cheer. I sat around for what felt like forever and finally the pony Ace was doing shots with fell over pasted out the crowd of creatures around Ace cheered as Ace collected bet and trotted over to me.   "About tim-!?" I felt Ace's lips pressed against mine, in shock I pushed her away, "what the buck are you doing?!" I shouted as Ace stumbled close.   "Kissing you, duh~." Ace winked and I rolled my eyes   "Well like I was saying I need your help on a expedition that princess Twilight Sparkle has assigned to you and me." I put a bag of bits on the table. "There's a good payday in it for you too." I I finished with a grin on my face thinking to myself we still had time to travel that day. "Sure, but save your friends ok? please?"  I looked at her with confusion I eventually responded with a hoof shake and a nod.   "Ace hurry up!" I shouted at the pegasus as I waited in front of the beginning of the Everfree forest. "I would be faster with out this junk on my back!" Ace's back had the other half of our gear in which covered her wings.   "Oh stop complaining we need that 'junk' to be able to survive out here." I said it as I stared at the ancient map with a hybrid of old dragon and old pony writings. "Something is not right about this map." I looked more at the map.    "Maybe it has a spells on it keeping you from reading it." The half drunken pegasus said stumbling next to me. River did look strange, I remembered there was a old folding spell on most ancient papers usually.   "Ace your right!" I hugged her with one hoof starting to break the spell.   "I am right most of the time baby~." The map folded into a smaller map with a simple and easy to follow map.   "Alright! Lets go Ace." I trotted off into the forest, looking at the map not seen that I was about to fall off a small cliff. The second I began to fall Ace was there holding me and she pulled me up. "Whoa baby, don't be trippin off cliffs because I'm around." She said breathing heavily and smirking at me.   "Thanks." I looked back at the math and fold the edge of the cliff until I found a bridge on the map we needed to cross here even though the bridge looked old and definitely not safe to cross, but I didn't care mostly because I cased a spell that need me as light as a feather, the spell worked as if it was imitating the magic of a pegasus's hooves.   "Are you sure you want to cross on this baby?" I looked at her a little ticked.   "I have a name you know and yes I have have a spell on that makes me lighter." "OK babe, what's your name?" I blushed a little forgetting that had not introduced myself yet.   "Oh sorry my name is Sparity daughter of Rarity and Spike..." I finished that sentence quietly being a little scared of what she was going to say.   "Spike? As in Spike the dragon?"   "Y-yes." I stuttered lowering my head getting to the other side of the bridge at the same time. "That's so awesome!" I turned around to greet a very excited pegasus tackling me, as she stood on me I blushed and more when she look down into my eyes. "I can't believe my friend is the daughter of the dragon who saved the Crystal Empire." She said as she pulled me up smiling and still stand at me.   "Its nothing, but I don't want to set up a camp in the dark." I said turning away looking at the sky what was starting to turn orange. I trotted to a large tree. "Can you get the firewood and some water? I'm going to set up camp." I set down my bags and started clearing a spot for the fire and then a spot for us to sleep. "Whatever you say friend." She dropped her bags and in a blink of my eye she was gone leaving a streak of her colors behind.   "Why am I a friend to her?" I said out loud to myself as I laid our sleeping back down on the sleeping pads. A few minutes later I heard ace zoom back on instinct I used DIG, stopped right in front of me.   "Here you go baby." She dropped logs and sticks in front of me.   "Thanks... why do you call me a friend other than from our agreement?" I set up the sticks in a teepee shape then the logs to over top of them in the same shape.   "Well..." she said this making her body language completely different in a more friendly and comfortable way. She took a deep breath, "You know about me right? Being a town hero and a popular pony right?" I kinda knew about her popularity but I wasn't sure why, so I nodded anyway. "Well I wasn't always so cool in the eyes of others. Back when my grandmother married a quote on quote 'monster' she lost almost all of her credit is a writer." she looked at me almost in sad way, "That was completely unfair! My grandma married a great and kind creature, Ahuizotl completely change from his evil ways halfway through her book series.He would make evil things to attracting Daring so he could see her in all her glory. When they made my dad they were truly in love, they share the same love for adventure and storytelling, I know all of this because of the book Daring worked for her family." Ace said this to me as if she recited it in the past. "When I was filly I was heated on one side and on the other I was mocked for being from a rich family. My mom was a Wonderbolt and still to this day which made my dad a stay at home dad taking care of me and teaching me all the things about Daring Do and her survival techniques, but all of these cool things I learned didn't  stop the teasing and the being left out of games. Until one day, a police said I couldn't jump off the highest cloud is free fall to the tree line." I I was now holding Ace's hoof after I I lit the fire with my fire breath but I'm sure she didn't notice because she didn't say anything or maybe she didn't say anything because it didn't matter how weird I was to her. "I took that dare and shoved it in their faces as I nailed the perfect free fall in this I learned Rainbow Dash's signature speed dash that leaves a color streak of your mane. Ever since then I've been doing stunts and dares all cross the kingdoms." Ace looked almost princess like with half her body lit by orange glow from the fire and her mane flowing in the light breeze. I held her hoof as I was deep in trance with deep rich story about her life. "But still I couldn't make friends just drinking buddies and colts that wanted to sleep with me. The more I thought about not having friends the more stunts or performances I would do, finding myself waking up in other ponies beds, not sure how I got there didn't help either. So that's why I jumped to the idea that we could be friend because this job your paying me to do isn't a stunt to see how far my limits can go its about feeling I'm need do to this and trusting I can." Her words were as good as a hundred of dragon books, at the same time I felt guilty about how I thought earlier I didn't need her but now she was needed.   "Ace that was... So deep and touching I-I never would have thought that about you." I realized I was holding her hoof so I let her go blushing, "Sorry Ace I just got pulled into you your amazing life story." Ace looked at me with a smile.   "Sparity its okay, and I'm sure your life story is good too." I wasn't thinking my life was hard at that time, all I was thinking about was how complex the mare in front of me was and how I completely missed judged her. "Your friends must be happy with you, just the way you make me feel happy now." When ace said this to me it felt as clear as hitting a brick wall. "I don't have any friends." I said as I looked down at my hooves. "Nonsense! You have me baby." Ace said this and she hugged me, I felt this sense of pure happiness start to come over also how tired I was.   "I'm sorry to stop our hug but we should get some rest." I said as I broke away from my new friend's hug. I laid in my sleeping bag with my thoughts and good feeling. I took a swig of my water and ate a few flowers off the ground as I watched Ace do some morning stretches. "You really need to do this right now Ace? I said with a mouth full of flowers. "Yes, I need to keep my flexibility up." I Thought that was a reasonable answer but what she said. "And your enjoying the show~." She turned and bent over showing her flank to me. "What? No!" I said turning my head away. "Fine lets get going then baby." "I told you my name Ace why don't you use it?" I didn't really need an answer right then and she could tell from the sound of sarcasm in voice, but she answered anyway. "Because baby fits you baby and not in a mean way." I rolled my eyes to this statement as I pulled out the map what was showing me a easy path ahead we stopped to eat some apples that I had bought before we left from me nice kind mare. Later both of us found ourselves in front of what looked like a haunted house. "Whoa." Ace said staring at the beat up and weathered house. I looked at the Sunset, "Well let's set up camp." I said to see Ace opening the front door. "Ace? What are you doing?" "Sitting up camp it's going to be a lot warmer in here." The pegasus said before she went inside, I looked around hearing a timber wolf most likely far away but didn't stop me from running inside to Ace. "Y-Yeah warmer." I said snuggled up to Ace for protection and because body wanted to. It was so dark I could barely see, I took out my lantern and get it with a spit of fire. The room slowly lights up the room, it was full of dust and cobwebs. "This place needs some dusting and then the inside wouldn't look that bad, am i right Ace?" I giggled. "Right Ace?" I turned to look at her to find her looking at a picture with a look of sadness and fear. "Ace what's wrong?" I trotted over to her to see the picture. She was looking at a picture of a family but it wasn't a random picture of a family it was a picture of Daring Do and Ahuizotl, she looked up at me with wide eyes."How?" She said "How! Daring's house is where my parents live how is this here?" I thought for a second that she was going to cry, she looked around before for putting a wing around me and leading me upstairs to what I believe was Daring's room. "This is a good thing baby, I think we are suppose to find this place." She said still holding me. "Why so?" I asked. "To find more pages of research to us fine the tomb." She said letting me go so we could search her grandmother's room. After some amount of time that could have been hours Ace found some old maps with the words Dovahkiin and lost on it. "This could help." He said looking back at me, I looked over and trotted to her. I read it over a few times before seeing that Daring got stuck on the old dragon language. In the time I was reading Ace had set up our sleeping bags. "I think I know where we are going tomorrow so let's get some sleep". I looked over to her to find her already asleep. I laid in my sleeping bag and looked over to ace, I was thinking how beautiful her fur was and other thoughts that made me shake my head to get rid of the thoughts that were more meaningful the friends. Two days later I had only gained more feelings. It got cold and the forest decided to rain a lot and my beautiful friend Ace wasn't making me feel better. "Baby are you sure you know where you're going?" This was only the fifth time she had asked me this that afternoon. "Yes, I'm sure 'baby' I reading the map carefully. Like there's going to be a hot spring in this direction soon." I said this in a ticked off tone. Well I wasn't wrong about the hot springs but it was another hour before we reached it. "I'm stopping here." Ace said dropping her bag on the ground. "I guess that's fine." I responded with a bit of sleepiness in my voice. I looked at the hot springs and felt dirt in my fur and my mane, "I'm going to take a bath." I trotted to the water as I passed Ace's wings rose up fast and she had a grin on her face but I just thought she was going for a quick flight and not what follows. I sighed as I begin to relax into the hot spring where it was just the right temperature, I slowly started to rub the dirt off my hooves and legs. Then I saw something in the corner of my eyes before I even turn to see what it was Ace had already pushed me on my back and under the water. I pulled myself up and gasp for air. "Hey baby I felt like you could use some help." I looked at her like she was joking "Yeah I definitely need help washing me." I said rolling my eyes before my friend began to rub the dirt off my sides. "You roll your eyes too much and let me help I'm great at forepla- I mean cleaning." a slight blush came across her face and as quickly as it showed up it was gone. But for that brief moment I shocked loved, "What did you say?" I said feeling like there was more to the pegasus's plan. "Your really soft Sparity and got a very nice mane." I was confused again by the weird feelings of love. Ace moved my glasses off and away next to the rock she was about to pin me against. Her hooves rubbed my flanks before I stop her. "Hey I can do this part on my own." Ace slowly moved her hooves away. "But can I do this?" Ace softly licked some dirt off my face. "You missed a spot on your face too Ace." I leaned  forward and kissed Ace on her lips. It was just a peck we both decided it should see more and kissed back and forth for a few minutes, in those few minutes our tongues were the adventurers exploring new territory. At some point we got out of the water and dried off, we spend the rest of last night holding and kissing each other once and a while but mostly holding and cuddling all in one sleeping bag. The next day was very different and the hardest. Ace was following very close to my plot what was what she seemed to be most interested in. "Oh baby come on, let me at least look at your amazing body? "I turned around to my new marefriend, "I'm pretty sure I told you earlier I don't want to rush things." It was her turn to roll her eyes. We followed the map inside a cave got me wondering why it wasn't  so easy to find this treasure before. "Sparity looking out!" Ace tackled me out of harm's way many times in the tunnels of the cave, her intern Daring Do was showing very strong as she solve the puzzles before I even could finish explaining the ancient dragon language writings. "We need it!" I shouted, I was amazed at all the writing on the walls and books and scrolls, I write about ancient dragon cultures and meeting spots I was in heaven all the spells I was looking was here. But then Ace opened the tomb of the Dovahkiin releasing a fire trap burning all the books, "Ace what did you do!?" I frantically tried to put out the fire with spells but if I was too strong and or was magic proof, Ace put me on her back and flew me out. "No, no we have to go back!" I shouted as the pegasus kept on flying away. We stopped at a barn out side Ponyvile I laid on the ground. All of that for nothing!?" I slammed my hooves against the ground. "You have me baby so it was not for nothing." Ace said stroking my back "Here!" I tossed some money I promised her. "Take this and we are done." I got up and walked the rest of the way home by myself. The whole time I was thinking how stupid I was to leave ace like that and how I was a failure to Twilight and my dad. When I got to the front step of Twilight so I found a book on the step it had Dovahkiin on it, Ace must havd grabbed it as she saved me. The few days after I told Twilight about the fire and everything about Ace and me becoming friends Twilight shook her head, "Why did you run away from your marefriend?" I couldn't come up with a answer. Later that night I went for a walk to get my mind off Ace. But she found me lying on the ground. "Hey Ace. I said if there was nothing wrong, she leaned down to kiss me on the cheek. "You are not a failure love and yes love, I love you Sparity so let me take you home show you how much I care." I felt like my heart was about to explode out of my chest as I heard my pegasus say she love me. We walk to her house and soon as both of us were inside our lips were together and stayed together,We kissed and kissed as Ace my lover tide my two front hooves together and raised me up so I couldn't touch the the ground. I didn't try to stop her, I just trusted my love. She pressed a front hoof against me to hold me on place as she licked and sucked on my horn, which was weird to feel but also amazing her hoof lowered to my mare hood and started to rub me. I moaned out loud the pleasure taking over my body. The tip of her hoof flicked inside and out of on every rub, my horn covered in silva, I was drooling from lust and pleasure as every lick and touch toke over my body, "A-Ace, dear I'm not good at thi-" she kissed me stopping  my words. She held the kiss as she shoved her hoof up inside me a little more and rubbed faster. I couldn't stop my self from the pleasure, my first orgasm was released making the blush on my face even more red. Ace pulled her hoof away and licked it before she untied me, I fell to the ground not able to move a muscle from all the pleasure, not to my surprise as lifted me onto her bed and cuddled me close. "I love you too Ace." I'm close my eyes and fell asleep in my lovers hooves. When we got home I told Twilight, mom, and dad all about how me and Ace were now dating. Twilight told me to write all of these things down so time could not even forget our love. So I did not actually and where we are today, every day is a adventure with Ace so I always have good times. Love Sparity. Ps. I hope dad doesn't find out I slept with Ace after like a week of knowing her. By Tom Fast
