The Second Floor Club

Rarity leaned in as Rainbow Dash prepared to begin her tale. Though she was of course happy with Thunderlane, she couldn't deny seeing her friends together brought her a unique thrill. She blushed a little thinking about how brazenly she'd offered them the opportunity to become entangled in her own romantic life, but her marehood certainly liked the idea.

On the couch she shared with Applejack and Twilight, Rainbow sat up taller, and her marefriends pressed up against her. Twilight wrapped a wing around both her and Applejack. Rarity found the sight adorable, and nearly squealed.

"Alright," Rainbow said, "so uh, after we took everypony else home last time, Twi and AJ asked if I wanted them to stay. Obviously they're some hot pieces of mare, so I said yes."

Applejack rolled her eyes and kneed her in the side with a foreleg.

"Does that not quite meet your recollection, Applejack?" Rarity asked.

"I can't say it quite does, Rares."

"All right, all right," Rainbow grumbled. "I didn't believe they really wanted to spend the night with me, so they had to tell me like four times," she glared at Applejack, and spoke softer, but kept going. "And they said they wanted to go out for breakfast after."

"What, like a date?" Rarity nearly squealed.

"Yeah, a date. So I agreed. I wasn't going to turn down..." she paused, noticing Applejack's look, and reconsidered. "It sounded kinda nice, honestly. Nopony's ever gone out to a fancy breakfast with me after. Best I've done is some coffee to clear the hangover, or donuts for that 'we're-the-only-ones-who-know-this' thrill, you know?

"Anyway, I told them they had to try my cloud bed. I gotta say after that not-sleep-over I was totally ready to go. I made myself go slow so they could keep up. I even waited around for Twi to cast the cloud walking spell on AJ, just so I could give 'em a show."

"That's selling yourself a bit short, Rainbow," Twilight said. "She wasn't even flicking her tail, she just had it right on her flank, waving that rear of hers around while she walked, making sure we could see everything. She was dripping down her leg!"

"Yeah, yeah, princess. Don't act like you didn't like it."

Twilight blushed. "I didn't say that."

"You better not," Rainbow said, "since the first thing that happened once we got to my room was you jumping me."

"Not the first thing," Twilight was blushing furiously now. "You got on the bed first."

"Yeah, but I hadn't even gotten off my hooves before she was all over me," Rainbow said. "Barreled into me right from the side. I was so surprised she knocked me off my hooves! Then she was right on top of me, pressing her muzzle up against mine. After that tackle I expected her to be all rough, but she just pressed it lightly up against mine and asked if I were sure."

"Well, let me tell you girls, Rainbow Dash doesn't have ponies up to her room if she's not sure. So I opened my muzzle and put my tongue out. But, uh, I felt like maybe I should give this 'soft' thing a try, you know? Just 'cause maybe it was what Twilight was in to."

"What she means," Twilight said, "is that she gave me this wonderful tender kiss. All soft and gentle and romantic. She was a natural at it, I couldn't believe it with how she talks. Oh, it makes me so happy just thinking about it!"

"Uh, yeah, that." Rarity noticed with delight that Rainbow was having trouble controlling her own color. "A-Anyway, not long in, I felt something else pressing up against the side of my muzzle, and I looked over and saw AJ there! She got in on the action too, and we were all just having one big sloppy makeout. I gotta say, I usually only kiss ponies when we're really deep in it, you know? Like pressing marehoods up together or maybe with some big double ended toy in us or whatever. But this was really hot. Way more than I thought just kissing could be. I thought I was crazy wet before, but now I was really testing the cloud bed's moisture handling, you know?

"So I started looking 'em over. I always knew Twi' and AJ were hot, but not that hot! They looked even better than Cloudchaser and Flitter and they aren't even twins. I just really wanted to get my tongue in 'em, hear how Twi' sounded when she came, find out if AJ tasted like apples..." she trailed off, then cleared her throat.

"So I broke off and got ready to really go to town on 'em, you know? But Twi stopped me, and said one of her dorky things--"

"I believe I said, that I wanted to really explore your body," Twilight cut in, "and that I hoped you'd want to do the same with us."

"Yeah, that," Dash said. "What they meant was they wanted me to just lie back and let them pay attention to me! Do nothing! I thought it sounded so lame, but you know, I uh, kinda like you girls, so I thought I'd give it a try. So I lay down and spread out my wings behind me."

"Yeah, it was a real nice pose," Applejack said, "we could see everything all pretty like. And ooo-eee I do mean everything, and I do mean pretty. That tail of hers was all soaked, so was her pussy and her thighs. And those wings spread out on the cloud bed, real pretty. I couldn't help myself, started kissing 'em all over."

"Y-yeah," Dash looked to be trying to glare at Applejack, but couldn't manage it through a blush and a poorly suppressed dopey grin. "She was kissing all up and down my left wing, all soft-like. And Twi' kept kissing my muzzle, and then she was kissing all down my neck and on to my chest." Rarity saw Rainbow shiver, and thought she saw a rear feather of Twilight's wing brush lightly between her legs.

"It was...way nicer than I expected." Applejack nudged her again. "All right, all right, it made me feel all fuzzy, okay? Like when we all hang out together. Really cared for, you know? And I kind of thought that sappy stuff was for foals and boring ponies, but it wasn't making me feel boring.

"They kept kissing, and sorta half met up right at my wing joint. Twilight moved over to my right side and kept kissing down all along my belly fur, and AJ did the same on the other side. I was going crazy! I've never been that wet in my whole life. They even teased my nipples, and all sorts of places I didn't know were sexy until their lips and tongues were on 'em. Then finally they were almost at my pussy and I was so ready. I still wanted to know what they tasted like but I was so close I was fine with anything. So then they both pulled up and started making out right over me! Their tongues just flicked out while they kissed and barely touched my lips and clit. It was so nice but so mean, I don't think I'll ever forgive them."

Next to Rainbow, Applejack smirked. Rarity found herself rather damp as well, and vividly hoping the trio would take up her not-so-subtle suggestion and watch her with Thunderlane that night.

"Then they broke it up, and I was so ready for them to start in on me. But instead Twi' lay down, and told me it was my turn to do her! Can you imagine? Here I was, hotter than I've ever been, and she was telling me she just wants me to tease her back! I was nearly crying!"

"So, uh, you told her no, right?" Fluttershy said.

"Tch," Rainbow shook her head, "like I'd let Twi' down. Nah, I went over and started in on her like she had with me."

"What she means," Twilight cut in, "is that she came and gave me another of those wonderful soft kisses. It felt like it lasted forever. Even though I could feel her dripping on my hindleg where she was pressed up against it, it was just a wonderful, calm kiss. I felt so loved!" Rarity thought Rainbow was going to hide her face in the pillow, but somehow she resisted. "Then she kissed all around my muzzle, all slow and tender. I don't think there was any part of my face she didn't kiss! Probably no part of my body, really, except my back and the bottoms of my hindlegs. She really took her time. I was as wet as she was when she was done, and once she licked my sex all gently, it took all I had to tell her she couldn't just go all the way."

"I dunno why she bothered," Rainbow grumbled, "I was all ready to give her the time of her bucking life! But she told me I still needed to check out AJ, and so she took me over. We made out too, but AJ knows what's up, none of that sappy stuff there, we had a proper tongue wrestle."

"Yeah we did," Applejack smirked. "I'm not embarrassed about my softer side like some ponies might be. Nopony here, of course," she cleared her throat. "But Rainbow and I have standards to keep. We gotta show each other what we got."

Rainbow smirked back. "Yeah and we did there, it was nice and rough. Of course, that just made me hotter, but at that point I knew I'd have to wait. I figured after I'd checked AJ out like they wanted I'd tell 'em for sure they had to get down to business. But after we were done making out, Twi' gave me a full tour! It wasn't like with her, she kissed everywhere on AJ and had me follow along. I tell you what, that mare has some weak points! Do you know how horny she gets if you--"

"That's enough, Dash," Applejack growled, "if they wanna know that, they've gotta find out for themselves."

"Hey there, you gotta check with the rest of us before you invite anypony else," Dash smirked at her, "but alright, I get it. Point is, by the time I was done checking her out everywhere - and I do mean everywhere - she was as wet as the rest of us. She sure smelled like apples, and I really wanted to know if she was a tasty as her cider. So I went down, but I really thought Twi' would stop me with some other dumb thing we had to do first.

"But I started lapping at her pussy and nopony stopped me at all! I gotta say, she is nicer than cider. And she was moaning up a storm, just like I like. So I lay down on the bed and started really going to work, running my tongue all up and down her slit. Then her moaning got sorta muffled, so I looked up and I saw she was going down on Twi. And Twi's head was down right near my rump, so I kinda shifted to get closer and she just pressed her head up between my legs and started in on me.

"I gotta say you've never lived until you've got one of your, uh, best friends licking your pussy while you eat the other one out. The whole thing just got too hot to even talk about right. Maybe Twi' could, I dunno, but I'm no egghead like that. It was the greatest sex I've ever had though. It felt like I just came over and over, and then we swapped it out, and I was licking Twi' while AJ was down on my pussy. Going down on a princess is something else, girls! I could taste the magic on her.

"Finally we got up, and the sun was totally up. So uh, we cleaned up a bit--"

"Though we had to clean up again after the clean-up," Applejack said.

"Yeah, we did end up doing it again in the shower," Rainbow said. "But then we went out to breakfast."

"And now you're all together, right? Right?" Pinkie was nearly gyrating.

"Uh, yeah," Rainbow said. "It's pretty awesome."

Rarity believed her, and found herself more than ready for her next appointment.

"Well girls," she said, "I'm so happy for all of you, but I fear our time is up. And Thunderlane is about to get off work. And get me off, I suppose," she giggled at being so naughty. "Anyway, I do hope I'll see some of you soon. Or you'll see me. Anyway, I'm sure we'll all have plenty of great stories for our next meeting in two weeks!"

She didn't think she'd been too subtle, but made sure to gave them a good view as she trotted out.

Everypony watched in silence as Rarity left, her tail lewdly to the side, revealing her dark, slick marehood.

"Well," Pinkie said, "I'm sure she'll give a great show, but I have to go see Filthy Rich. I've been trying to cheer that poor stallion up ever since his wife left, but I never figured it out. But I haven't tried giving him my pie yet, so I'm hoping that'll do it!"

"Um, do you mean pie pie, or..." Fluttershy trailed off and blushed.

"Pumpkin, silly! I had one in the oven during the meeting, it should be all warm and fresh now. I just found out it's his favorite pie! I hope it cheers him up a little."

"Oh," Fluttershy said, "that's nice of you."

"Yeah," Pinkie said, "nopony wants to have sex when they're super sad. But if the pie works, it'll totally get him happy enough to rut me, which'll get the rest of the way! Nopony's sad when they're putting their cream in Pinkie's pie! See ya!" Before anypony could respond, she'd vanished in a pink blur.

Everypony else blinked.

"Oh my," Fluttershy said softly.

"You gonna go watch Rarity again, 'Shy?" Rainbow asked.

"Oh, n-no. It wouldn't feel right. I was so mortified about the first time!"

"But...she wants you to," Applejack said.

"Oh I know but I just couldn't! Besides, I have some sick mice to take care of. I'm sure I'll find some way to make myself feel better."

"Don't be silly, Fluttershy, I'm sure..." Twilight trailed off as Fluttershy, blushing furiously, headed for the door.

"Okay then, see you next time?"

"Of course!" Fluttershy turned back with a smile. "I'd never miss it."

Alone in the room, the three lovers looked at each other.

"Reckon we should go, then?" Applejack said.

"I'm willing," Twilight said. "Rarity seemed very excited about it, it'd be a shame if nopony took her up on it."

"Rainbow? I know you're not a big fan of dicks," Applejack said.

"Eh," Rainbow shrugged, "I don't want one in me, but it's not like they're gross. And Rarity's bucking hot, watching her get rutted has bound to be good. Besides, I'm sure if I don't like it one of you'll be glad to give me a show."

"True that," Applejack grinned, and they headed off.

Diamond Tiara was driving Apple Bloom crazy at school, and not in the usual way.

The first day after their adventure in the clubhouse, she'd been unsure what to expect. Silver Spoon had been cautiously friendly, clearly ready to bury the hatchet, and they'd responded in kind. But while Tiara tagged along with her comrade, she still seemed sullen and aloof. While Applebloom didn't really think or even hope that her cock would have broken Tiara, she'd hoped for more of a thaw in relations. But she couldn't figure out anything at all.

Then, late in the day, they'd accidentally met in the bathroom. Apple Bloom stopped, not sure what to say, but Diamond broke the silence first.

"Gee," she said, "I bet you'd love to take advantage of my poor filly body." Apple Bloom started, suddenly terrified Tiara had somehow gotten it into her head that Apple Bloom had forced herself on her. But the other pony had already turned and flicked her tail aside, presenting a dripping sex. She spoke over her shoulder.

"Too bad you have to share your special talent. If only your unicorn were here, you'd have a fat cock you could rut me with." She smirked, and flicked her tail against Apple Bloom's nose as she left, the delicious scent of her arousal making Bloom wet in turn.

She lay up at night wondering what it meant. Diamond's words had been scornful, Apple Bloom wasn't sure why she'd even bothered. Did she just want to be a jerk? Revealing the origins of their marks to the whole class would have been mortifying, and she was sure Diamond knew it, so why was she so private about it?

The next day, she again stayed quiet and aloof in public, but when Apple Bloom went to return a ball to the equipment room at the end of recess, Diamond was waiting for her, lying back on the mats, hind legs splayed obscenely. In the tiny room, Apple Bloom's chest was nearly pressing up against her dripping sex.

"Oh dear," Diamond said, "a poor innocent rich filly, caught in the dark by a brutish farmpony. A girl could get taken advantage of. Get her sweet little body filled up with filthy farm seed. Too bad you can't do it on your own, Apple Bloom. Too bad your friend isn't here to help you take advantage."

"What gives? You keep actin' like you want me, but you don't talk like it! What do you want from me, Diamond?"

Diamond just rolled her eyes. "Poor Apple Bloom. Not enough of a stallion to take me again. Or a mare, for that matter. I know you want me. You rutted me hard enough before. If you don't take what you want in this world, you'll never get it, you know."

The bell rang the end of recess, and before Apple Bloom could respond, Diamond Tiara hopped to her hooves and bullied by her out the door, but not before giving her another whiff beneath her tail.

After school, Apple Bloom headed to her lab. She figured potions could replicate almost any spell, and it was high time she gave that a test.

The next day, though, her path didn't cross Diamond's in private. Dejectedly, she sat out last period. To make matters worse, Sweetie's parents were out of town, and she had to go help Rarity, while Scootaloo was helping Rainbow Dash train, giving Apple Bloom nothing to do that afternoon. Just as the bell rang, Cheerilee called her over.

"I just wanted to remind you," she said, "that you owe me a report on your cutie mark. I know it's...delicate, and it's okay that you don't want to share with the class. But it's part of the core curriculum, everypony has to write a report on how they got their mark. Scootaloo already gave me hers, and Sweetie Belle says she has a draft. I promise only I'll read it. Is that okay?"

Apple Bloom squirmed a little. She loved Ms. Cheerilee - she still thought she was the best teacher ever - but was worried about how she might look at her after reading the report.

"Um, my sis told you a bit about it right?"

"A little, yes."

"It's really...personal."

"I know," Cheerilee sighed. "It's okay to take your time on it. I only need it by the end of the year. And you don't have to be, um, detailed." To Apple Bloom's astonishment, the normally reserved Cheerilee was blushing furiously. "It's about how your mark made you feel about yourself, and your place in Equestria. But I know you're a growing pony and I promise I won't judge." She laughed. "I had some wild days when I was your age, I promise! Part of growing up is realizing that older ponies aren't any different from us. They've just been confused for longer."

Apple Bloom laughed. "Okay Ms. Cheerilee. I'll figure it out."

"I know you will Apple Bloom. Good afternoon."

Cheerilee trotted out, but Apple Bloom went back to gather her things from her desk. Even though she trusted Cheerilee, she still wasn't totally happy with the idea of writing about getting her mark for her teacher. Lost in thought, she took her time getting ready. The clop of hooves interrupted her musings, and she looked up, expecting to see Cheerilee back. Instead, the smug face of Diamond Tiara looked back at her from next to the desk.

"Oh dear," she said, "caught alone at school after hours. If only you still had your brutishly thick cock, I might be in real trouble."

Diamond rose up on her haunches and placed her forelegs on Cheerilee's desk. Lightly spreading her rear legs, she flicked aside her tail to reveal her dark sex, dripping. Apple Bloom began rummaging in her bag.

"Yes, I'm sure you couldn't restrain yourself, now you've had a taste," Diamond went on. "Oh how horrible it'd be for me to have your rough meat deep inside me." Apple Bloom found what she was looking for and downed the potion, then hurried towards the desk. "I know you'd love to ruin centuries of good breeding with that peasant seed of yours."

Apple Bloom was pretty sure Diamond Tiara didn't have any better breeding than anypony else, but she was too excited to turn the tables to do anything other than roll her eyes. Instead she reared up and let her hooves slam heavily on the desk next to Diamond's head.

"Oh, you're so wild for me you want to mount me even without your little friend to give you the equipment? Poor thing. Maybe if you ask nicely I'll help--" Diamond cut off as she felt the tip of Apple Bloom's cock - added, of course, by the potion - press lightly against the lips of her sex.

"Y-you...what..." Diamond's voice was totally different.

"Potions can do most of what spells can," Apple Bloom whispered, "or spells simple enough for any unicorn to cast, at least. I brewed this one up last night. Just for you."

"O-oh, you wanted my pure flesh so much, you prepared?" Diamond shivered under her. "I'm sure you can't restrain yourself, and are going to rut me senseless right now."

Apple Bloom had to admit it sounded nice. She might not be able to figure out why Diamond was acting like this, but she certainly knew the filly wanted her, even if Diamond didn't seem to want to admit it. But she made herself hold back.

"Nuh-uh," she emphasized her accent, she told herself to taunt Diamond, though she wasn't sure she wasn't playing along. "I right enjoyed ruttin' you last time, but my sis raised me right. You gotta tell me you want it."

"You infuriating brute! Why would I want a filthy farmer putting her common seed in my perfect body? My father would never stand for it!"

Privately, Apple Bloom thought of the many dinners her family had shared with Filthy Rich and was confident he wouldn't care, or might even be happy his daughter had buried the hatchet (among other things) with his old business partners. But she didn't feel like this was the time. So she shrugged and climbed down from the desk, despite nearly painful protests from her swollen member.

"Suit yourself," she said, forcing casualness into her voice, "I'm sure the toilet'd be glad to take my 'common seed'. But so you know," she whispered in Diamond's ear, "you only need to say yes once." She turned to go, but she'd barely started to walk when Diamond cried out.

"Stop! Of course I want you, you stupid foal! Every time I do this I want you! It's just hotter! I want you to take me rough and raw! I want you to have your way with me and get off inside me! I want to feel like you can't resist my body! How did you not figure that out?"

Apple Bloom turned around.

"Because where I live ponies say what they mean," Apple Bloom said, "and make sure they never do anything with a pony they ain't totally sure wants it, you daft filly! But you just told me when you say you don't want me to cum in you, that means you do. That's really weird, but if that's really what it means, say it again. I'll understand you."

Diamond turned away, and Apple Bloom was afraid she'd ruined it, and really was going to have to go try to get herself off in the bathroom. Her cock wilted slightly. But then Diamond's affected, haughty voice came again.

"You brute, don't you dare! My father will never forgive you for having your way with me!"

Apple Bloom's cock sprang again to full mast, and she practically lunged on to Cheerilee's desk. She let her full weight press down on Diamond Tiara, but paused for just a moment with her cock again brushing at her former rival's entrance.

"Your dad ain't here," she exaggerated her drawl again, "and when he sees you next, it'll be too late. I'll've planted my seeds all inside you, filly." She hilted herself in Diamond in one welcome stroke, gasping with relief.

"O-oh no," Diamond said, "I-I'll be spoiled for...all the noble colts..."

Apple Bloom shuddered as she began rutting Diamond as hard as the angle and her earth pony strength would allow. Unlike Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle, she knew Diamond's own earth pony magic could take it, and that sweetness was, for whatever reason, not what she wanted right now.

"That's right," Apple Bloom grunted. Despite herself, she found Diamond's weird fantasy oddly compelling - perhaps some dark part of her still did want to conquer her old rival. "You're mine now, gonna have to come live on the farm. Give up all them fancy things."

She felt Diamond's sex clenching on her, and felt her own orgasm close - which, assuming she'd mimiced the studding spell correctly with her potion, meant Diamond's must be close too. Clearly the twisted fantasy was having a powerful effect. She sighed and hilted herself again, feeling Diamond squirm beneath her with the impact, and savoring her tight body all along the length.

"Oh, you're close aren't you, you b-brute," Diamond moaned, "don't you dare cum in me. I can't have your f-farm seeds in my d-defenseless w-womb."

Apple Bloom was sure the contraceptive she'd brewed into the potion was more than sufficient defense for Diamond's womb, but found the protestations appealing anyway.

"Y'ain't no good on the farm if'n we can't breed ya," her accent was thicker than any real pony she'd ever met, but she suspected Diamond would appreciate it.

"N-no," Diamond said weakly, in the same tone as Sweetie said 'yes' and, Apple Bloom knew, with the same meaning - nothing about her behavior was resisting at all. "P-please don't," she shuddered as Apple Bloom pounded her with shallow thrusts, then her marehood clenched, and Apple Bloom felt the wave crash over her.

She plunged fully in for the final time, her balls resting on Diamond's soaked fur as her flare sealed the entrance to her lover's womb. She shuddered in pleasure as she blasted her load inside.

Diamond was so overcome she even lost the thread of the fantasy.

"Yes, yes," she moaned, "oh Celestia Bloom, just like that." Apple Bloom only grunted as another rope surged into Diamond's eager body.

They both came down, but as with the studding spell, the potion's potency left Apple Bloom hard and prepared for another round. She didn't withdraw yet, wondering what Diamond would want to do. Gradually her lover gathered herself.

"O-oh," her voice was mostly back to its affected arrogance, "why are you still on me, surely you've had your f-fill."

Apple Bloom shook her head to clear the echoes of orgasm. Diamond's pussy was still caressing her shaft, and she gently thrust her rump back towards her, as if trying to pull her deeper. Apple Bloom decided she wanted the rest.

"We don't get no purdy fillies like you on the farm," Apple Bloom pulled out all the stops on the accent again, "I ain't ever been able to empty these balls out. I reckon today's my lucky day."

She began rutting Diamond again, settling into a series of deep, hard thrusts. She felt her own cum mixing with Diamond's juices with every thrust, and a shudder went through her. Diamond was thrusting her rump back lewdly now, apparently not caring that her character would never do so.

"I d-don't even have room in me for more," she panted, "it'll make my belly swell up!"

Apple Bloom wasn't sure this was true, though she remembered a very slight visible effect on Sweetie earlier. But Diamond was clearly into it, and it seemed nothing would ruin the fantasy. Apple Bloom decided to go all-in on it, and the thrill of the fantasy again made her stiffen further, to Diamond's pleased gasp.

"Not as much as my foal will, dariln'," Apple Bloom drawled, "don't you worry none."

She knew she'd made the right choice when Diamond squealed beneath her and began thrusting back in earnest. With her full cooperation they bucked each other wildly, and Apple Bloom felt the tide rising higher and higher. To her shock, she found herself feeling warm and fuzzy towards Diamond.

"How did that happen?" She wondered distantly, though now she had room for little thought outside the urgency of her cock pounding in Diamond Tiara's eager body.

"Y-yes Bloom, I want you so much," Diamond panted.

Instinctively, Apple Bloom leaned down and pressed her muzzle against Diamond's. Her lover's eyes widened in shock and for a moment, Apple Bloom was worried she'd pull away. Then she smiled, and opened her muzzle gently. Apple Bloom responded in kind, their tongues touched...

And orgasm washed over them. Open-mouthed, their tongues writhed against each other as Apple Bloom unloaded the last of her seed in a great flood into Diamond's waiting body. It seemed to last forever, both the kiss and the orgasm, but then Apple Bloom's cock vanished and, panting, they separated.

Diamond climbed unsteadily from the desk. A thick white drop of semen and her own lubricants fell from her sex to splatter on the schoolroom floor. Her belly was, in fact, slightly bulging. Apple Bloom didn't think anyone who didn't know would notice it, but even in her exhausted state it turned her on.

"I, uh..." Diamond said.

"We...we should clean that up," Apple Bloom gestured to the puddle of sex on the floor. Miraculously, they seemed to have avoided getting anything on Cheerilee's desk except a bit of saliva from their kiss. "And clean you up, I guess."

"Y-yeah."

They cleaned in silence. As they were finishing, Diamond finally spoke up.

"So, if I act like that again..."

"I'll rut you senseless," Apple Bloom said. "Unless that's not what you want?"

Diamond shook her head. "It totally is!"

"Fine, on one condition."

Diamond's raised nose was back again.

"You have a condition? You liked it too!"

Apple Bloom sighed. "Of course I did. But that doesn't mean I can't have conditions. You can too. That's how this kinda thing is supposed to work."

Diamond rolled her eyes. "Fine. What's your condition?"

"Come to the movies with me."

"What? Now?"

"If you're free, sure. If not, some other time."

"Just you? Like a..."

"A date, yep," Apple Bloom said.

"But...why? Don't you hate me?"

"Nah," Apple Bloom said, then reconsidered. "Well, maybe a little. For old time's sake. Enough to like pretending to have my way with you. But I think I could get to like you. And I don't wanna rut a pony I don't at least try to get to like." She looked down at Diamond appreciatively. "Even if she is hot."

Diamond stared at her for a long moment, then let out a sigh. "Fine. I hear Wet Hot Equestian Summer is...tolerable. It's playing in half an hour."

"Sure," Apple Bloom grinned. "Plenty of time to get there."

"Just a minute," Diamond said, "you said I could have conditions too."

Apple Bloom rolled her own eyes. "I didn't quite mean a trade, but if you want something, sure, ask."

"Come to La Pasteure after. My dad has a tab there. So my treat."

"So you wanna turn a movie into dinner and a movie?"

"Take it or leave it," Diamond said. "But if you've got more of that potion, maybe we won't end with dinner."

Apple Bloom grinned.

"I'll take it."

"I knew you couldn't resist."

They trotted off.
