Winter's Blessing 2: Remember Me
12. Very Long Day Part 2
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Silver!" Rumble shouts as I shook my head as I looked at everyone as they had concerned looks. "Dude you okay? You were silent for about 15 minutes."
"Yeah I'm fine just building up some tension." Everyone around groaned as the mysterious stallion chuckled.
"Continue on my friend." He says smiling as I nodded.
So my date with Silver Spoon was just beginning. Our drinks were still plenty hot and the jazz music in the background made it perfect set piece if I say so myself. I wondered about Silver Spoon besides being a model I had no idea who she was.
"So Silver, what made you want to be a model. It couldn't have been just the leisure of it all." She gave me a small smile as she had used a small spoon on the saucer to stir her drink a bit before tapping the spoon on the side of the mug.
"Well leisure would've been fine and all but I've had that since I was young. My dad got rich playing the stocks in Manehatten, and he got really intense with the glitz of trading and sell stocks. My dad was an accountant and one day he spotted a few magic numbers as he described it and bought a few stocks of my mother's company which at the time was my grandfather's company. It was a small start up company that dealt with technology and some medicinal cures. Then the whole technological boom happened and I guess that was the end of it. My dad married my mom and I sorta came into the picture." I smiled and nodded.
"Well your parents surely met under somewhat similar stances, my mom and dad were just two college dropouts who got stuck working at some diner. My mom cooked while my dad took orders, soon a little later my mom tried culinary school and well opened her own restaurant. My dad was supportive and hell after her first successful night as a business owner people just began piling in and loving the food. I guess that was a throw away in a way." She let out a small giggle as she took another sip of her now slightly cool down drink.
"Oh you better drink your cocoa, it doesn't taste as good when it's cold. It just tastes like chunky chocolate milk." I nodded and took a sip. Now to anyone whose only been to the theater for the booze. I'm telling you to drink the cocoa cuz hot damn was it good. Anyway we continued talking as the day progressed, me and Silver were again on the top of parents. Mostly talents or traits they'd given us.
"So Lining, you said your mother was a professional chef. Do you know how to cook?" I let out a soft chuckle and shook my head.
"No no, I left the cooking to my little sisters, Hazy Days and Icy Glaze. My mom taught them to cook while my dad taught me to draw. After one session of drawing with my dad he instantly figured out that I was a pro at it. I use to draw small drawings of the landscape outside of my house window, to drawings of Celestia herself. I figured out really quick that my special talent would be centered around painting or at the very least sketching something. Though I also know how to take awesome pictures too. My dad found out really quickly I was to do something with drawings and pictures, now cooking with my mom on the other hand was a challenge, making pancakes with her, I'd instantly burn them into a crisp. I was never really good at cooking when I lived alone in Canterlot, I usually ordered take out. Hell I lived off what Donut Joe would give me, whatever donuts he didn't sell at the end of the day he'd give them to me. It helped that I worked at his donut shop my first few months in Canterlot."
"What about your little sisters?"
"Ah yes those two, they're the best ponies you could ever meet. The two would try to cheer me up when I felt down, and hell, now that they live with me they cook all the meals. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My little sister Icy Glaze was mute for most of her life, but she uttered her first words a few days ago. She seemed comfortable talking, but again something she shouldn't overdo. Now Hazy Days, oh boy she's absolutely hyperactive. She's someone who'd be able to lift your spirits if you spoke to her if you don't mind a little trivia with her talks." She giggles a bit and nods.
"She sounds like a sweet little filly. Tell me what else has life given you?"
"You're really interested in my life, why's that?"
"Well you're sweet and caring some pony with responsibilities, heck you're taking care of two fillies by yourself. I'm sure your parents would be proud of you." I nodded but I looked into Silver Spoon's eyes and I felt this connection, it felt dim but it was there. It just needed a push, a push I could provide.
Our lunch continued on with me and her just listening to music, talking, and basically relaxing. I haven't felt that relaxed in a long while, with me taking care of my little sisters I put them first and on a pedestal they were everything to me they were my diamonds, I'd keep them happy no matter what. But I'm allowed to be selfish every once in awhile, right? I mean there are things a guy needs, from some companionship with some guy friends and someone to love like a special mare. Or a couple of special mares.
"I agree with you on that my friend, when I was younger and growing up taking care of my sister was like a second job. The benefits were always a smiling face and being happy that you have someone close to you." The mysterious stallion mentions smiling a bit.
"I hear you on that." The rest of the stallions agreed as they mumbled positive responses.
"Anyway back to the story."
My lunch date with Silver ended pretty well, we both left out separate ways. But Silver did say she'd love to see me again, she mentions something about a fashion week event happening in a few weeks in the Crystal Empire. She seemed really excited for the event and even spoke so highly about last year's, something about being the biggest fashion event where both fashion makers with their own lines create lingerie like outfits. It was called Heavenly Runway, a big televised fashion event.
Anyway I left town and continued on towards my room accommodations in Sweet Apple Acres, the rain had stopped but the dirt was soft muddy even. After I entered the treehouse I spotted some clothing in my bed, just a plain white T-shirt with a pair of blue jeans. With a note on top of the clothes.
'I cleaned your working clothes for you, since you don't have much in terms of clothing. Try not to get them messy until Rarity can see you.
Love Applebloom
By that time I felt my clothes beginning to stick to me, walking around in the rain wasn't the best idea I had so changing was actually the smartest thing that I could at the moment at least.
Changing out of my clothing I saw that the clouds were still out, they were light gray and not nearly as dark and ominous as before. I left my room and began walking towards Fluttershy's cottage, I've noticed that my sisters loved being with Fluttershy. They always seemed at their happiest when they were with her, it was cute seeing them so happy. She was beautiful, of course stunning even if her shyness covered that up.
As I approached the cottage I heard some talking from the other side of the door, they were my sisters the two were giggling.
"Oh do you think Lining would let us go to school yet? It's so exciting living here now!" I was smiling by this time hearing them so eagerly awaiting when they'd go to school put a smile on my face.
"I'm not sure girls, but I'm sure Miss.Dream Catcher would love to see you two in her class." Fluttershy mentions smiling.
"I can't wait! This'll be super fun!" Icy happily mentions clapping her hands.
"Calm down girls, we just have to wait until things get easier okay. Your brother is trying his best to keep you two happy. I'm sure he's gonna continue doing that." Fluttershy mentions giggling a bit.
After hearing that it perked me up a bit, but I felt as if I had to be careful something that I didn't do when I saw Applebloom's husband or at least what I thought was her husband.
"What'd you mean? Applebloom's husband was a unicorn stallion from Canterlot." I chuckled and shook my head.
"No, I'm getting to that. Anyway after I heard my sisters little talk with Fluttershy I thought about going to my room for a little while."
I woke up hours later, my body refreshed along with the cool air in my room bothering me, I tried hugging my body only to grab something soft and squishy. I opened my eyes to see Applebloom, her head on my chest as she slept with me. What I was grabbing was her rear, if I were thinking with my other head I would've just taken her but, I didn't I felt at peace.
For every sexual thought us guys have, there's always this small thought of just laying there and hugging the mare you love. It might not be the manliest of things but, it was always something far greater then just getting a run out of yourself. Letting out a sigh I brought Applebloom closer as she mumbled in her sleep, harmonious moment as one would call it wouldn't last too long.
I tried getting up from bed only for Applebloom to get on my waist, smiling as she did.
"Where do ya think yer goin'? We haven't slept together since last time I visit. Ya owe me big boy." She mentions as her luscious lips pressed against mine, her tiny but strong frame on me. I tried getting her off but, it took some effort.
"Oh cmon Lining, can't we just stay like this for an hour or all night?" I chuckled and laid back down as her arm went over my chest. Me and Applebloom stayed like they for a solid hour until I started getting bored I managed to slip away and put on my shoes. I needed some time to myself.
I walked out of the room and went outside walking down the dirt trail of the farm, I exited the countryside and entered town, I needed something to calm myself down at least add some relaxation even if it was a smallest of things.
Entering town I looked around and entered the theater once more, it was relatively full with ponies with going out attire wore. They all had smiles as they drank or ate, though the theater was more of singers and band paradise in the mornings and afternoons, late nights was mostly a burlesque. The raunchy comedy acts, the satirical jokes and not to mention the scantly clad mares dancing and taking off whatever strings and ribbons they pass off as costumes.
Anyway entering the theater I instantly saw mares dancing for the enjoyment of stallions and mares some even performing acrobatics, it was true art form something that I enjoyed it wasn't just beautiful mares dancing for the enjoyment of others, but I knew they had auditions, costume checks, hell even rehearsals. To everyone they might look like olden strippers, but they were performers happily enjoying the limelight.
Once in I passed a coat check mare along with a server who pointed me towards the bar area, I took my seat and ordered a drink. As I did I waited until Rumble tapped on my shoulder, he had a huge smile once I turned to him.
"Silver! You've found one of the best places in Ponyville!" He mentions laughing as he brings up his arms, I smiled and returned the hug patting his back. It sounded like a bit of a bro moment which it was.
"Yeah, Silver Spoon took me here on a date. She paid which kind of embarrassed me a bit, but I didn't care after awhile." He chuckles and nods.
"You shouldn't worry, for a cutie like her she can pay for anything." I chuckled and smiled as my drink was passed to me, I took a swig drinking the cold yet warm cinnamon spiced whiskey. "Anyway I wanna introduce you to a couple of my friends, Pipsqueak, he's a bit of a shorter sided guy but pretty tough and charismatic." He presented a short stallion about I'd say half a foot shorter then me.
"And my friend FeatherWeight." He presented a fairly tall scrawny looking stallion he was a Pegasus that much I could tell. I smiled and greeted the two, I was more then happy to meet other stallions in town, my mind was a bit more at ease as we talked to one another and spoke about many things.
But as the night progressed and the drunker I got. I passively mentioned I was dating Applebloom, which rose the attention of the owner. The owner who was walking past many of the patrons on the ground floor, managed to hear a bit of our conversation.
"After that I'm not sure what happen, and usually have photographic memory." I chuckled a bit as I heard of a party Featherweight had gone to, he was a photographer who was pretty high end as he did photoshoots for many models and even had a chance to be taught by a famous photographer named Photo Finish.
"Silver Lining?" One of the bouncers asked, turning I saw a stallion with a tough looking face as I rose from the booth.
"Yeah?" I asked
"The owner would like to have a talk with you, he told me to escort you." I couldn't really deny it, if I did there was a huge chance I would've been kicked out.
"Lead on." He nods as I walk with him while a show was going on stage.
Once I got to the office looking over the whole venue the bouncer opened the door and there I spotted the stallion, who landed me here.
"Thank you Flare Force." He mentions as I stepped in. He bows and closes the door behind him.
"I've heard you're the stallion who recently starting dating a mare by the name Applebloom, you don't know what you're getting yourself into my friend."
"Excuse me?" I asked
"What I mean is that the mare you've fallen so in love with is, well more of stallion then you think. Physical mentioning, her body is tight and well put together." His comments began pissing me off as I glared at him.
"I'd appreciate it if you'd stop talking about my mare like that. Shit for brains." He laughed as he clapped.
"Oh boy what a fantastic insult, did you just come up with that you're self. Look buddy I was this close to marrying that mare, I just gave you her virginity. Or is she making you wait? The glamorous damn wedding she wants is it?" I slammed my fist on the table getting angrier and angrier by the little shit's name calling. "Tough are we?"
"I told you to shut the fuck up about my girlfriend. Say anything else and I'll-"
"And you'll what? Break my horn in two? Please, you wouldn't hurt me. Why don't I just show you who exactly who you're messing with."
By this time I stopped telling the story and stayed quiet as I remembered what had happened. Rising from his chair the stallion began making a rather feminine dance as his body slowly changed into a charcoal black colored fur. Holes appearing on his forearms as he began growing breasts his eyes turned from tough to feminine and sleek.
She wore a black dress that cut just beneath her waist, she had ruby red lip stick as her mane was vibrant pink cut into a short pixie cut.
"Ah much much better. Surprised are you?" She asks smiling.
"W-what the fuck are you?" I shouted as I tumbled out of my seat.
"Rude calling a mare with such an ill mannered way, I'm Cicada Pixie, and that male form you just saw was named Frost Slam. And I was Applebloom's previous fiancée we didn't go to far in terms of love, but I did have fun with her when I was female. Ah her deep sleep state mind filled me with so much desire." She mentions moaning as she rubs herself a bit.
"Applebloom's previous fiancée was a guy, not a mare!" You shout
"You have no idea what a changeling is huh? I can change my gender and appearance it's a given form of magic with my status in royalty." She mentions giggling. "It's all a surprise isn't? A mare who almost married a mare who was disguised a stallion. Fresh isn't it?"
"You're lying! You didn't marry Applebloom."
"Of course I didn't. A mare with her family? Hehe too much baggage for me to take on." Pixie mentions giggling a bit. "Now I need you help."
"With what?" I asked
"I've seen you here twice, once with a mare and now with a group of stallions. I've also seen you've been watching each performance I need talent and you can be my talent be my partner." She giggles a bit and approaches me. "What'd you say do we have a deal?"
"Hell no! You've left Applebloom on the alter crying and her family in shambles, because of you Applejack hates me. You're just a manipulating cunt." She laughs as she glares hard at me.
"No one calls me a cunt, and gets away with it." Turning back into a stallion she hit herself over the head with a bottle as blood came out of her head, the glass appearing on my hand.
"Sir! We heard!" The bouncers gasped and tackled me to the ground as I was placed down with force I saw her smirk as she waved goodbye.
"Dude, are you going to finish?" Rumbled asked.
"N-no after I got angry I hit him over the head with a glass bottle, my anger got the best of me." The stallions nodded as did the mysterious stallion.
"Well that's quite the story, very entertaining." I sighed and just hit my head on the cement wall and closed my eyes.
Later...
"Wake up!" I looked up to see a stallion an officer hit the iron bars. "Someone posted bail, but you've gotta talk to the detective first come with me."
I nodded and rose from the bed and walked alongside the stallion and approached the door of the detective.
Detective Jack Daniels
"He's right through there." I turned the knob and pushed open the door to see the same mysterious stallion as before except this time without his hat.
"Quite the interesting story you told, all spanning from one day. Unique you are." He had a jet black colored coat with a dark orange mane his eyes a bright purple.
"So you just wait in jail cells to have people tell you stories?" He chuckles and smiles.
"Well I've learned that ponies tend to exaggerate their stories when they're interrogated and I thought you retelling the story to other drunkards would give me a more in depth look." I thought of it and he wasn't completely wrong I didn't lie and I sure as hell would've if I was interrogated.
"So apparently the stallion or owner of the theater decided not to press charges, but in return he asked you to see him tomorrow morning. He wants speak and if you don't well he might bring up charges. I suggest you take up his offer." I sighed and rubbed my forehead.
"I'll think about it." The detective chuckles and points to the door.
"You're free to go, oh and don't take what Ruby says to heart. She's a good girl just too damn sarcastic for her own good." I nodded and rose from the seat and walked out of the office as I entered the lobby I saw Scootaloo with an extremely annoyed expression.
"You're dead for waking me up so damn late." She mentions with glare.
"W-who told you?" I asked nervously.
"Rumble, he was released and came to me." I sighed and knew it would be a long day tomorrow.
Author's Note
Who knew Applebloom would marry a female changeling princess, weird huh.
