The Coffee Shop Mareby Faded EchelonChaptersChapter 1: Time for workChapter 2: Surprise Feelings.Chapter 3: The DateChapter 4: Java in Heat.Chapter 5: More Surprises. Chapter 1: Time for workThe Coffee Shop Mare Chapter 1 Time for work Fade lay in bed, blanket on the floor. One hind leg hanging over the edge. His chest rising and falling as he breathed. Snoring could easily be heard throughout his house. The clock on his nightstand went off. Beep, beep, beep. The gray coated stallion grunted and hit the shut off button on the alarm. He slowly got out of bed. “Five o’clock. Time to go in to work and make sure Java’s awake.” He thought before leaving his room. He went to the bathroom and began to run water in his tub. His horn lit and turned the knobs. He used a hoof to gauge the water’s temperature. He fiddled with the knobs till the temperature was acceptable. He stepped in, and felt the lukewarm water against his fur. “Gotta love morning showers.” He said aloud as steam began to fill the room. He grabbed the shampoo in his magic and squirted it in his mane, tail and coat. A loofah that hung on the wall was covered in a light red glow. He used the loofah to scrub the shampoo into his mane and coat. Levitating the loofah back into place, he let the water do its job. Washing all the shampoo from his body. Stepping out of the shower he shook out his coat. A towel wrapped in his magical aura began to dry him off. Once done he gelled and styled his mane. He had a local DJ with the style and decided to use it himself. He went from the washroom to his room, down the stairs and to the kitchen. He looked at the stove. “I’ll eat breakfast at the shop.” He trotted through the kitchen living room. He stopped at the door and used his magic to put on his saddle bags. He left his house and sauntered down the streets of Ponyville. He took in a deep breath of the early morning air. “I wish I didn't have to go in so early.” He thought. “I wouldn't want her to hurt herself though. The clumsy mare.” He greeted a few other ponies who were on their morning commutes. He arrived at the coffee shop. The sign on the door said closed. Keys left his saddle bag and unlocked the door. He pushed it open and the bell gave a soft tinkle. The smell of coffee never left the little shop. He trotted past the various tables and the counter. “Time to get started.” He levitated his apron from its hook and put it on. Then went to the sink and washed his hooves. Five coffee pots levitated to the sink and filled with water. Then back to the machines and filled them. One filter filled with coffee grounds fell into place in the coffee pots. The machines flipped on and coffee started falling into the pots. “Now to see what we have on the menu for today.” He thought as he looked up at the board. “Blank. I guess she didn't change it yesterday. Better go wake her.” He trotted through the back and up the stairs. He knocked on the door and waited for a few minutes. When no answer came he used his key to unlock the door. Peaking inside he called out. "Java, you awake?" Silence. He opened the door and stepped in. Fluffy, the shop owner’s hairless cat greeted him with a soft meow. “Hi fluffy, Java still asleep?” He chuckled softly. Every morning he had to wake her it was the same routine. He trotted into the bedroom. There in bed, still sleeping, was the shop owner. She was a beautiful mare. Her coat was a light cream color and she had a flowing reddish-brown mane and tail. He totted over and shook her . “Java, it’s time to get up.” He said and took a step back. She stirred as her lovely, light green eyes fluttered open. “Morning Fade.” She said as she attempted to get out of bed. She slipped on her cover and toppled onto the floor. Landing face first. “Are you okay?” Fade asked as he came over to help her up. “Yeah, yeah I’m fine.” Her voice, though a bit annoyed, was as sweet as honey. “You need to be more careful. I swear, you are the clumsiest mare I've ever met.” Fade chuckled. He levitated her glasses onto her face. “Come on, you didn't change the menu and we have to start on breakfast.” Fade said turning towards the bedroom door. They trotted out of the room and down the stairs. He pulled the whiteboard down with his magic and sat it on the counter. Java grabbed a marker and wrote down the days specials. When she had finished, Fade hung the board. It now read, “Breakfast: Sugared oats. Lunch: Spring salad with ripe red tomatoes.” Beside the specials board hung a menu with all the different coffees and a few other assorted drinks. Fade went to work and started a few pots of oats. He checked the clock. “Twenty till six. Almost opening time. Guess I’ll see if any dishes need washing. Can you watch the oats Java?” He asked turning to the mare. “Of course Fade, I am an adult you know.” He chuckled. “Yes, but we wouldn't want any accidents, now would we?” Java gave a sheepish grin. “I’ll be careful, I promise.” With that she turned and got a wooden spoon from the drawer and stirred the oats. Fade went to the sink and began to wash and dry the plates and saucers the shop used to serve food, coffee and tea. “Oops, forgot to start the tea.” Fade said as he finished washing the last of the dishes. He put the dishes away and started making an assortment of teas. Earl grey, jade, jasmine, and chamomile. At six he walked over and flipped the sign from closed to open. After about twenty minutes a few customers entered. They made their orders of oats and coffee. Fade acted as waiter. Taking the customers their assorted orders. “Fade, we need some dishes washed. I’ll take over as waiter.” Fade sighed. “Are you sure? I don’t want you to burn yourself.” She huffed. “I can handle a few cups of coffee.” She turned the stove on low so the oats wouldn't burn. Fade went to washing his dishes. A mare came in and order a cappuccino. Java set out a small saucer and placed a coffee cup on it and set it into the cappuccino machine. Balancing the coffee on her head she slowly walked over to the mares table. “See Fade, told you I could handle it.” In that moment, her concentration broke and the coffee toppled onto the floor. The cup and saucer shattered. “Oh dear, I’m sorry. I’ll fetch another cup right away.” She trotted to the closet and fetched a broom, towel, and dustpan. Sweeping up the shattered glass. Then drying up the coffee. “Broke another one.” She sighed and went back behind the counter, throwing the broken glass away. She prepared another cappuccino and took it to the customer. “Sorry for the wait, I dropped the first cup. Clumsy me.” She chuckled. The Mare smiled and replied. “No problem. Your coffee is the best in town and worth the wait.” The mare happily drank her coffee and left. The day passed without many more accidents. A few broken plates and cups. The worst was when Java burnt herself. Java was carrying a hot cup of Chamomile tea to a mare. Fluffy had wondered down from her upstairs apartment and was walking through the shop. Java hadn't noticed the cat walk in front of her and tripped over her. The cup and saucer clattered to the floor, unfortunately the tea had spilled onto her foreleg. "Ow, buck that's hot." Fade saw and rushed over with a rag to help her. He wiped off the coffee. "Are you alright Java?" He asked concerned. "Yes, though I might have a nasty burn." Fade helped her up. She went to the kitchen and got some burn ointment. She rubbed it over the burn. The day ended and Fade flipped the sign on the door to closed. “I’ll clean up Java, you go take a rest and tend to that burn.” His horn lit up and a broom began to sweep the shop. A few rags cleaned the tables and counter. Once finished with that he emptied the pots, cleaned them and sat them in place. “Ready for the next day of business.” He locked the downstairs door and headed into the apartment upstairs. He found Java on the couch in her living room. “I’m going to stay for the night if you don’t mind.” He said taking a seat on the couch opposite her. "I don't mind, but might I ask why?" She asked, a bit curious. "Well, we're closed tomorrow and I figure I could wake up early, do some things around the shop." "Oh, alright. Well I don't have a spare bed, but mines big enough for two. I don't mind sharing and sleeping alone gets kinda...." She paused looking for the right word. "Lonely." He replied. "Yeah, that's one word for it." They both sighed and sat in silence.

"Well if it were some pony else, I would mind. We've known each other for each other for four years. I trust you, so don't try anything." She giggled. Fade blushed "O-Of course not!" "I was only joking Fade, calm down." Java yawned. "Guess it's time for bed." Fade yawned and nodded. He got up and followed Java to the bedroom. Fade used his magic to fix the blanket for them. They both lied down and simultaneously said. "Goodnight." The light flickered off and the two fell asleep. The sun rose over Ponyville, peaking through the window of Java's bedroom. Fluffy walked in and jumped, landing on Java. She awoke, feeling the small cat land on her. "Morning Fluffy." She gently pushed the cat off and turned. Seeing Fade sound asleep, she sighed. "Poor guy, always having to help me out. I know it's his job, but I make it more stressful. Always falling or tripping. Breaking things and getting hurt. I know he worries about me." She thought. The thought of some pony actually worrying about her made her smile. "Better go ahead and start inventory." She thought rolling out of bed. She went to the kitchen and got a cup of water before heading down stairs. Starting with the stuff on the lower shelves, she counted supplies and food. Once done she got the ladder to reach the higher shelves. Fade had slept longer than usual. He heard the sound of hooves downstairs. “Better go help Java.” He thought as he dragged himself out of bed. He trotted downstairs and opened the door that lead from the steps to the store room. Java was on a ladder pulling a box down off a shelf. “Wait Java, let me help.” He started to trot over. “I got it Fa….” She started to say as she slipped off the ladder. She let out a yelp as she fell. Fade rushed over and caught her in his magic before she hit the floor. He eased her onto the ground and helped her up. She looked up into Fades eyes. Her green eye's shimmered behind her glasses. "Java, I never noticed how lovely your eyes are." Fade said, causing Java to blush. "Th-Thank you." Java smiled warmly. Lost in the moment, she leaned up and kissed Fade, quickly pulling away. Fade was stunned, looking down at her. A rosy red blush painted across his face as well as Java's.. “I-I’m sorry Fade, I don’t know what came over me.” “J-Java.” Fade stuttered. Both were stunned and didn't quite know what to say. After a few moment's Java spoke up. “Th - thank you Fade, I could have really gotten hurt.” She said standing up. “Ye-Yeah, wouldn't want that. I guess we should finish inventory.” Java nodded in agreement. Fade turned to the box. It sat on the floor, a few coffee beans had spilled out. He opened it to check the damage. “Well, you might be okay, but the coffee beans aren't. Take one bag off of the total.” He levitated the box back into place. Java went to the wall and used the pen hung on the wall to mark off the bag. “Not a major loss. Could have been worse.” She sighed. “I wish I wasn't so clumsy.” “Yeah, it could have been worse. You could have gotten seriously hurt. Let me handle the high shelves, okay.” He said grabbing another few boxes in his magic. After he finished with the coffee beans he checked the tea, cups, plates, and food. “We need to order more food and plates. We’re good on cups, for now.” “Alright, I write up an order sheet.” She went to the desk where she kept all the spare order and inventory sheets. “Three boxes of plates, two boxes of lettuce, two of tomatoes, three bales of hay, and three boxes of buns. That about right?” She asked writing down the orders on various sheets. “That should do it.” Fade said putting the last of the boxes away. “Now, to check on the machines.” He left the storage room and went behind the counter, checking all the equipment they used for the business. “All good here. Anything else we need to do Java?” He called to the mare in the back. “Nope, that’s all.” She replied, putting the order sheets in envelopes. She walked out of the storage room. “I’m going to put these in the mail. Can you go give fluffy some food?” She asked trotting through the shop. “Yeah, I got it.” Fade said as he headed back to the storage room and up the stairs to the apartment. He trotted through the door and past the living room. He saw fluffy in front of her food bowl. “Hungry fluffy?” He asked as he searched for the cat’s food. He found it in the cabinet under the sink and poured the cat some food. Then filled the water bowl. He went into the living room and sat on the couch. He couldn't help but think back to the kiss. He put a hoof to his lips. "D-Did she really kiss me or was that a dream?" He was deep in thought and hadn't noticed Java trotting in. "Fade, I think we should talk." Her tone was more serious and a bit embarrassed then usual. "You mean the-" Fade began, but Java cut him off. "Yes, I mean the kiss." She sighed and moved to the other couch. Taking a seat she continued to talk. "I don't know what happened. What you said, it-it was the first time a stallion has said something like that to me. Most stallions overlook me because i'm clumsy. They don't see me, they see a foolish mare falling on her face." Her ears folded as she spoke. Fade listened, ears perked, but drooping. "I was so glad to finally meet a stallion who looked past the clumsy and saw the real me. You're the first to do that." Fade held up a hoof. "Hold on, are you saying...." He trailed off. "Yes, I think I am. I think....I like you Fade. As more than a friend." Fade's ears flicked. "I'm not sure what to say." Silence, no words came to either for a while. After a while of thinking Fade broke the silence. "What if we went on a date?" Java gasped. "R-really?!" She squealed with excitement. "Yeah, it would be a good way for you to see if your feelings are true and for me to find out what mine are." To be continued. Author's Note Alright, chapter 2 is redone. I hope this is better than the first. I know the relationship is still a bit rushed, but I like it as it is. Chapter 3: The Date"Great! We can go this evening." Java squealed. She was more animated. All nervousness she had about the situation seemed to vanish. "Yeah, that sounds good." Fade was still trying to figure out his feelings for Java. "Do I like her like that?" He thought. "I think i'm going to head home to get ready. I'll be back around seven or eight and we'll figure out where we are going." Fade stood and trotted from the living room of the apartment. "See you then." Java said as he left. She went to her room and sat on her bed, thinking of what to do. Fade had just left the shop and was on his way back to his house. "I can't believe she feels that way." He thought as he trotted down the street. He arrived home and lied in bed. At the shop Java was elated. "I can't believe he said yes." She thought, overjoyed. Fluffy wandered in and hopped up on the bed beside her. "Hello fluffy." She pat the cat's head. "What do you think about Fade?" She asked, knowing a response wouldn't come. She giggled. A few hours latter Fade had taken a shower and was styling his mane. "I don't even know what to say to her or what to talk about." He trotted down the stairs and through his house. Grabbing his saddlebags He walked out the door." Fade was trotting down the street when he saw a florist's stand. "How much is a bouquet of roses?" He asked getting his bit's from his saddle bags. "Five bits." The mare replied getting the bouquet ready. "I'll take one." He levitated five bits from the bag and placed them on the counter. "Thank you sir, hope they like them." The florist said handing him the bouquet. He grabbed the roses in his magic and continued towards the shop. Java had just finished getting ready when a knock came at the door to the shop. She trotted down the to the storage room. Fade used his key and unlocked the door. He opened it as Java past the counter. Fade saw her and blushed. She wore a bright green dress that she kept for special occasions. The dress matched her eyes and the bow she wore at the base of her tail. It was a simple, yet elegant dress she had purchased from Rarity's boutique. "J-Java, you look...lovely." He levitated the bouquet of roses to her. "I got you these." "There beautiful. Let me put these in a vase and we'll go." She turned and trotted back upstairs. Rummaging through her cabinets she found a vase, filled it with water, and set the roses in it. She returned downstairs where Fade was waiting. "Alright, we can go." "Yes, but where?" Fade asked opening the door for Java. "Let's just go to a simple restaurant." She trotted out the door. "Works for me." Fade said following her. As they trotted down the street, Fade decided to speak. "How long have you had feelings for me?" "Well, I'd say sense about a week or two ago." She said thinking. "You are a handsome stallion, but it takes more than just looks to hook some ponies." "What then? What do you like about me?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Your so kind and helpful. You offered to help around the shop because you thought I needed it. Truth be told, I did. Running a shop on your own takes a lot of work, that work is doubled when you're as clumsy as me." Fade listened, ears perked as she spoke. "You always helped me when I broke something or hurt myself. I had never had some pony to help me like that, other than my parents when I was younger." "Stallions are supposed to help there friends when they need it." Fade smiled. "It's nice to know the help is appreciated." "Some pony's got to appreciate it." She said as they got closed to the restaurant. "What about you though? Have you figured out your feelings yet?" "No, not exactly. I know I like you, I mean we've been friends since I was sixteen. You were eighteen and had just opened the shop with the help of your parents a week before we met. Then they had to move and you were left with the shop. I thought that such a sweet, kind mare could use help. I asked about a job and we started working together." He finished as they entered the restaurant. "I haven't thought much about us, other than friends. Your a beautiful mare and so kind and sweet. It's kind of funny to see you make a clumsy mistake, as long as your not hurt. It's also kind of cute. I mean a twenty two year old mare falling when she get's out of bed, I thought only foals could do that." He chuckled. "Hey! I slipped on my blanket!" She huffed as they trotted up to the counter. "Two orders of hay burgers, hay fries, and large glasses of water." She said as the stallion behind the counter scribbled down the order. "For here or to go?" He asked adding up the total. "Here." Fade and Java answered. "That'll be twelve bits." He said "I'll pay Java." Fade said placing twelve bits on the counter. "Go and find us a seat. I'll wait for the food." Java trotted off to find a seat. The food arrived and Fade grabbed it in his magic. He trotted through the restaurant looking for Java. "Over here." She called, waving a hoof from her seat. Fade trotted over and sat the tray down on the table. He sat across from Java. They both sat and ate in silence for a few minutes before Java spoke. "What did you do before you worked at Hot Heads?" She took a bit of her burger. "Well, I was born to be a warrior, so I spent most of my time training. Sadly, Equestria does't need warriors as it is now, so my talent is a bit worthless." "Unless some pony tries to rob you. You being a warrior, they wouldn't get far." Java giggled. "They wouldn't know what hit them. Fade chuckled. "Yeah, I guess it's good for that. What about you? What did you do before you ran the shop?" Java thought for a moment. "Not much, I used to make my parents coffee in the mornings. That's about it." "What about hobbies, do you have any?" Fade took a drink of his water and ate a few hay fries. "Drawing and painting. I like to do art in my free time." "I doodle, but i'm not any good." Fade sighed. "Then again, I wasn't born an artist." "Me either, I took lessons. " She said taking a bit of her burger. "I would, but I like my doodles." They sat in silence again as they ate. Both thinking of what to say next. "Do you like to listen to music?" Fade asked before finishing off his fries. "Yes, I like to listen to rock and electronic." She finished her burger. "Really? Me too there's one DJ here in Ponyville I like in particular." "Who would that be?" Java asked sipping her water. "Vinyl Scratch, or I guess DJ Pon3, her stage name." "Yeah, I know. I love her music." Java finished off her fries. "Maybe we could go to one of her concerts." Fade said finishing his food and water. "Yeah, that would be awesome!" She said throwing her hooves to the side, knocking her water over. "Oops." Fade grabbed some napkins and cleaned up the water. "Well, our food's gone. What should we do now?" He asked gathering the trash and throwing it away. "Maybe Vinyl has a concert or show going on somewhere tonight." Java said getting out of her seat. "Yeah, let's go look around." Fade said standing and heading for the exit, Java following. They trotted through the streets, looking for a sign or other promotion to show Vinyl had a show. After a while they gave up. "Looks like she isn't playing anywhere." Java sighed. "Would have been fun to." "Let's just head back to the shop. We can try the concert another night." Java nodded in agreement and they headed for Hot Heads. They reached the shop and Java stopped at the door. "Want to stay again tonight?" She asked pushing the door open." "Sure, I don't mind." Fade said walking into the shop, followed by Java. After a night of talking and a few misshapes on Java's part the two got into bed and fell asleep. To be continued. Author's Note There's chapter 3, not sure if it's done yet, I might add on if the next chapter I have planned doesn't pan out. Hope you all enjoy. Chapter 4: Java in Heat.Author's Note Alright guys, I planned to wait a few more chapters for the clop, but I was reading and it struck a bit of inspiration. Hope you enjoy chapter 4. I did a bit of research on a mare's heat for this, and what I came up with was either yearly, or monthly. I wasn't sure which, so I used monthly. If you know more about female horse/pony anatomy than I do, please leave a comment or message me so I can change it. Also, I'm trying to be more detailed. Any tips would help, thanks. Writing this, I realize. Clop is hard. Props to those who do it right. I am probably not one of those. I hope you still enjoy anyhow. I know this needs work, and I mean WORK. I'll be doing that, in the mean time, please, be patient. I made a foalish error in publishing this, it was good, but it wasn't as good as I could make it. I'm trying to do better guys. It's my first fic, so just bear with me. Alright, here it is, nice and edited. Enjoy. Chapter 4: Java in Heat. A few weeks had passed, nothing out of the usual, other than the weekly dates the two went on. Each one went better than the last One day they had a picnic under some apple tree's at sweet apple acres, with the permission of the apple family. One was just another dinner date. By that time Fade and Java were both sure of their feelings, they loved each other. This caused Fade to spend more time than usual around the shop. He couldn't have his mare friend hurting herself, now could he? Fade was excited as he arrived at the shop for their latest date. Sunday night, strange for a concert. He wished they had a different day picked. He never liked staying out late on a night before work, but they had finally found a DJ Pon3 show. They left a bit later than planned and could herd soft bass thumping as they approached the DJ's venue for the night. A small club he couldn't recall the name of. The two entered and the music blared. The hard thumping base and heavy sounds of electronic music got the two moving. Each could tell the other was having a blast. The end of the night was the most eventful and peculiar. The two had left the club after the show and arrived in front of the shop. "Well that was a blast!" Fade said, excitement and adrenaline from the music still present. "Yes, it was. I had fun. Wouldn't have wanted to be there with any pony else." Java's face was one of pure bliss, and again adrenaline from the music. She leaned in and kissed her Colt friend. "So soft, just like last time." Fade thought as he returned the kiss. His mind tried to think back to the awkward, flat out abrupt first kiss the two shared. He couldn't though, his mind was on the present." Java pulled away at a sudden thought. "Fade, the shop going to be closed next week." "Why?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "I close the shop one week a month, give myself a break." She lied, knowing full well what the next week would entail. "Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that. I recall you closing around the ending or beginning of the month." Fade turned to leave. "See you tomorrow Java." Java waved and retired to her apartment above the coffee shop. "If only it were to give myself a break." She sighed thinking back to the lie she had told Fade. "Maybe I should have been honest. We've been dating for about a month now, hell he might have helped me." Java thought entering her room. She had the week in question marked on her calendar in bold letters. Heat cycle She had, through a few months of tracking, thought she had a precise date of when it would start. She sat on her bed next to Fluffy. "What do you think fluffy? Should I have told him?" She thought for a moment. "No, I wouldn't want to rush things too much. Besides, if he did help, I might have gotten PREGNANT!" She emphasized the word much more than was necessary. "Not that it's a bad thing, I just don't know if I’m ready." She curled up in bed under her covers as the light flicked off. She pushed the thoughts of pregnancy and motherhood from her mind and fell asleep. Fade awoke at the same time as usual. "Ugh, I don't want to go to work." He grumbled, having had a late night with Java. The date had ended at roughly one in the morning. Despite not wanting to go to work, he did want to see Java, so he rolled out of bed, showered, got dressed, and left. A few feet from the shop he could see a sign. He trotted up and looked at it. It was a hastily hoof written sign. Closed until further notice. Fade raised an eyebrow. "I thought she said next week, what would cause a change?" A few thoughts entered his mind, mostly of her having hurt herself in some way. "I'd better make sure she's okay." He thought using his key to get into the shop. He looked around. "Nothing unusual down here." Fade thought, he closed the door and locked it. Setting his saddlebags by the door, he turned and trotting through the shop. Opening the door to the storage room, his head swiveled back and forth. "Nothing here either." He trotted into the storage room and shut the door. "Guess I'll look upstairs." He opened the door that lead up the stairs. Soft clops could be heard reverberating off the walls as he climbed the stairs. He knocked on the door....no answer. He grumbled and headed back down the stairs, trotted out of the storage room, and fetched his keys from his saddlebags. He returned upstairs and unlocked the door. He stepped into the living room and shut the door. "Java, are you...." He stopped. Something was different. He looked around. Everything in the living room and kitchen were the same. "What is it?" He thought. He took a deep breath and his nostrils twitched a bit. "There it is, what is that?" He could detect a scent he wasn't used to. The apartment usually had a sweet scent, as Java liked to burn candles and the scent of different coffees occasionally made its way upstairs. This was different. He had never smelled anything quite like this before. It was an enticing scent. He didn't know what it was, but he liked it. He followed it and stopped outside of Java's room. "Looks like it's coming from Java's room." Fade was about to open the door when he heard a frustrated groan. "Is that Java?" He knocked on the door. "Java, you closed the shop a week earlier than planned. Is everything alright?" Java gasped and replied. "Um, yes, everything is fine. I just needed my break a bit earlier than expected." She used that lie again. Fade stood outside of the door and thought for a moment. "You sure you're okay? I can help if anything is wrong." His nostrils twitched again. "Oh, yeah, what's that lovely smell?" He asked through the door. "I said everything is fine!" She said, frustration evident in her tone. "What smell? I don't smell any..." Her eyes went wide. She knew the scent he was talking about. It was her. She had been up for a good thirty minutes and had been trotting around her apartment trying to find a way to relieve her frustration. "Uh, yeah, that's a new candle I picked up the other day. I decided to lite it earlier." "Well whatever it is, it smells great. Can I come in?" "Uh, no, I’m a bit sick." She said faking a cough. "What? You just said everything was fine. I'm coming in." Fade said opening the door. The scent of her heat hit him hard. He looked Java over. She looked normal, but he could tell she was frustrated about something. "I don't know what it is, but that candle smell's amazing." He said taking a deep breath. He might not have known the smell, but his instincts did. He hadn't realized it, but he had been getting quite aroused. He glanced around the room and noticed the calendar. He trotted over and read it. He didn't see anything on this week, next week however. Fade went a bit pale. Closing the shop, the scent he couldn't identify, and he now noticed his erection resting against his belly. "Java, are you in heat?" He turned to her. She blushed and nervously answered. “Y-Yes, I am in heat.” She sat on the bed. “I’m sorry I didn't tell you Fade, it’s just…” “You felt like you’d be rushing things somehow?” He asked talking a seat beside her. “Yeah, kind of, and….pregnancy…” Fade’s eyes went wide for a second. “Yeah, there is that, but who’s to say we would do that.” Her gaze dropped to the floor. “Well, it tends to happen when a mare is in heat and her stallions around. I just don’t think I’m ready.” Fade put his hoof on hers. “Java, you’re a sweet, kind, and all around amazing mare. I know you’re clumsy, but I would be there to help, should that happen. You’d be a great mother.” Her face brightened. “Really? Y-You think so?” She asked bringing her gaze to his. “I don’t think so, I know so.” Fade smiled warmly. “Fade you’re so sweet.” Fade leaned down, pressing their lips together. Java wrapped her hooves around his neck and pulled him back onto the bed with her. She could feel his pulse throbbing against her belly. Fade could feel her fur against his shaft. It was soft and warm, like laying on a cotton blanket. Her lips were soft and warm. Java thought of how lucky she was. She had found such a loyal, loving stallion of her own. The burning between her thighs grew like a wildfire. Java broke the kiss. “F-Fade, W-will you help me?” She asked, a bit lewdly Fade, not having had experience in this area, didn't understand what she meant. “Help you with what?” He asked looking her over. She spread her hind legs a bit and guided his hoof down her form. Fade followed with his eyes, seeing where she had stopped. He blushed and nodded. “O-of course.” Fade began to move his hoof. Java shivered, her body tensing a bit. His hoof was cold, which jolted her a bit, but his touch was gentle and loving. He continued to work on her. Her musk was stronger now, almost overpowering. He knew that she needed this, badly. Then he got an idea, or rather a voice in the back of his mind called out to him. “Use your mouth.” The voice echoed in the back of his mind. “For what?” He thought, not knowing what the voice was. “Also, who or what the hell are you?” He thought. “I’m your instinct, just listen to what I say. Use your mouth.” Fade shrugged inwardly. He moved his head down her form. Java could feel his breath getting lower and lower, until his head was between her thighs. He looked in awe, this being the first time he had a good look at a mare’s nethers. It was a bright pink and engorged from her cycle. It looked almost like a budding flower. He hesitated at first, but the voice in his gnawed at the back of his mind. Slowly he put his muzzle closer and closer. His hot breath against her mare hood made Java shiver. She could feel the wetness of his tongue as it moved up and down. “MMMMMMMPPPPPHH!” She let out a low moan as jolts of pleasure ran up her spine and throughout her body. Fade, having heard the moan began to rub her swollen clit with his nose. Another wave of pleasure washed over Java. “MMMM, this is great….I can’t believe this is happening.” She thought as Fade continued. He snaked his tongue in, tasting her sweet juices. Java had a knack of eating sweeter things, she didn't like bitter foods. His tongue continued its assault on the mare. Java was rocked with pleasure. She had never felt such pleasure, and knew it would only get better. He could feel her muff spasm as he darted his tongue in and out. Electricity shot thorough Java and she could feel her body tensing. “F-Fade…I-I’m gonna-“She tried to say, but it was too late, her orgasm rocked her. Her walls clenched and Fade’s muzzle was covered in Java’s mare cum. He licked up what he good, savoring her sweet taste, it was like honey or a fine sweet brandy. He licked what he could off his muzzle and sat up. “From that, I’d say I was good.” He said jokingly, licking up the remnants of her orgasm. Java, left breathless from the experience, simply nodded in response. She took a moment to catch her breath before speaking. “I suppose I should return the favor.” She cooed and pushed Fade back onto the bed. She put a hoof on hoof on his length and began to rub. She was surprised how hard and thick it was. “Would that even fit?” She wondered silently, she continued to rub his smooth, throbbing colt hood. She could feel every pulse and twitch. Now she knew that he needed this. Her muzzle slowly moved closer, and she could smell his musk. Fade felt her hoof replaced with her tongue. Java slowly licked up the shaft. She wanted to make him feel as good as she did earlier. The wetness of her tongue was bliss to Fade. He moaned softly as her tongue made its way to his tip. Java licked over it once, tasting the salty sweet liquid of pre-cum. This hole endeavor had made him more aroused them ever. She took the tip in, using her tongue to massage the underside of his shaft as she took in more. The warm wetness of her mouth was amazing. Java could feel him twitching as she continued. She began to suck as she moved her head. “UUUUUMMMMPPhhh!” He moaned. He couldn't believe this was happening, with his boss of all ponies. Well, he supposed they had been dating for a while, she was more a mare friend than his boss. Java took an inch into her throat, breathing through her nose. More of his pre drizzled down her throat as she did. He couldn't hold back. He felt his climax building and his body twitching. “AAAAAHHHHH!” He moaned, not being able to manage anything more as a hot rope of spunk shot into Java’s maw. She drank his spunk down, rope after rope of the hot milk. She pulled off a bit, to catch some on her tongue. It was sweeter than before and a bit bitter. She swallowed the last of it. Fade sat up. “That….was…..great.” “Well, it only gets better, I’m not satisfied.” Java laid back on the bed, the scent of her heat was strong enough to arouse Fade further. “What if you get pregnant? I thought you weren't ready.” He asked, thinking it was just her cycle talking. “Even if I’m not, like you said, I’ll have you there to help me. If I’m with you, I feel ready for anything.” She giggled, having sounded cornier than intended. Fade nodded and positioned himself over her. The light shining through the window made Java look even more beautiful. Her green eyes shined behind her glasses. The brown freckles on her cheeks stood out from her cream fur. She was a beauty. “Java, you are the most beautiful mare I have ever seen.” “You are the most handsome stallion I've ever seen.” She said, looking deep into Fade’s stunning blue eyes. He shifted his hips a bit, so that his cock was pressing at her entrance. Her nether lips practically quivered with anticipation. Java nodded for him to go ahead. He slowly moved his hips forward. Java could feel him enter, his width stretching her virgin muff as he did. She winced and bit her lip as pain rocked her body. Fade notice the look and halted his progress. “Java, are you okay? We don’t have to do this. It pains me to hurt you.” Fade said with caring concern. Java shook her head. “No, don’t stop. I want this. I know it hurts now, but it will go away.” She smiled reassuringly and Fade slowly continued to slide his length into her. He could feel her walls clenching around him, trying to force out the invader. He knew he was hurting her. The look of pain on her face saddened him, but if it’s what she wanted, he was going to give it to her. Java could feel herself being stretched by his length. Her loins screamed in pain, but she wasn't giving in. She wanted this, she wanted him. Fade stopped once his length was fully inside. Java could feel him pressing against her cervix, which worsened the pain. “Just nod when you’re ready.” He leaned down and kissed her cheek. He loved the feel of her cotton soft fur against his lips. The pain began to ebb away and Java nodded. Fade drew out and slid back in. Her walls clenched around him again. It felt great for Fade, though still a bit painful for Java. Her tight tunnel was like a sleeve around his rod. He moaned and Java winced. He drew out again, sliding back in. He found a slow steady rhythm. Slowly, the pain gave way to wave after wave of pleasure. Java began to buck her hips down to meet Fade’s movement. “MMMMMPPPPPHHH!” She moaned out, feeling every inch as it slid in and out. Her inner walls clasped around her lover’s colt hood. Fade loved the look of pleasure on Java’s face. He always liked making others happy, this was more than that. Java was shuddered as jolt after jolt, tingle after tingle of pleasure shot through her body. “F-Faster.” She managed to say through hot, heavy breaths. Fade nodded and bucked faster in compliance. Java looked up at Fade as he rutted her. He was such a rugged and handsome stallion. She wouldn't have had this any other way. The mind numbing pleasure the two felt was incomparable. Fade could feel himself tensing, and his balls tightening. He thought he should give her warning. “J-Java, I’m close!” He screamed. She began bucking her hips down on him harder. Loud, lewd slaps could be heard as their groins made contact. She wrapped her legs around him, not about to let him pull out. His head began to flare and stretch her further. “MMMMMMPPPPPPHHHH…UGGGGHHHHH!” She moaned as her walls clenched tight around Fade. Her hole was beyond tight now. It felt almost as if it were pulling him. Each buck sent electric pleasure shocking through the two. Java could feel Fade’s pulsing and twitching becoming more erratic. “Fill me!” She moaned out, wanting to satiate her heat. Fade simply nodded. He could feel himself bumping her cervix with each thrust. Fade threw his head back and let out an earth shattering moan as his flared head locked him in. Java could fell his hot, thick seed flowing into her womb, then out. Java shuddered as her orgasm hit. Fade could feel a new wetness on his shaft and groin. Fade saw the look of pure ecstasy and bliss on Java’s face. His face was on in the same. They would remember this for the rest of their lives. Fade was exhausted after their season. His legs gave out and he feel on Java smiled and rolled over. Fade landed beside her, his tip keeping him locked in place. Java could still feel some of his seed pumping into her. “We both needed this.” She thought as Fade pulled her close. They wrapped their hooves around each other’s necks, closed their eyes and kissed. Java’s lips were so soft, like silk. Fade ran a hoof through her mane as they kissed. Fade’s tongue pushed against Java’s lips. She opened her mouth, enough to let it in. After a bit of exploring they wrapped together. They could taste each other’s spunk from earlier in their spit. Java’s lustful heat died down and she broke the kiss. “Ready to be a father, Fade?” She asked giggling. “Hey, we don’t know anything yet.” He smiled. “Of course I am, as long as you’re with me. We will make great parent.” Java nodded in agreement. “I love you Fade.” “I love you to, JJ.” Fade’s erection withered and he pulled it out with a wet ‘plop’. Some of his seed ran down Java’s thigh. “I’m glad that if I do have foals, it’s with you.” “Me to JJ.” They smiled and laid their heads on the pillows. Shortly after they feel asleep in each other’s arms. To Be Continued. Chapter 5: More Surprises. Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 1: Time for workThe Coffee Shop Mare Chapter 1 Time for work Fade lay in bed, blanket on the floor. One hind leg hanging over the edge. His chest rising and falling as he breathed. Snoring could easily be heard throughout his house. The clock on his nightstand went off. Beep, beep, beep. The gray coated stallion grunted and hit the shut off button on the alarm. He slowly got out of bed. “Five o’clock. Time to go in to work and make sure Java’s awake.” He thought before leaving his room. He went to the bathroom and began to run water in his tub. His horn lit and turned the knobs. He used a hoof to gauge the water’s temperature. He fiddled with the knobs till the temperature was acceptable. He stepped in, and felt the lukewarm water against his fur. “Gotta love morning showers.” He said aloud as steam began to fill the room. He grabbed the shampoo in his magic and squirted it in his mane, tail and coat. A loofah that hung on the wall was covered in a light red glow. He used the loofah to scrub the shampoo into his mane and coat. Levitating the loofah back into place, he let the water do its job. Washing all the shampoo from his body. Stepping out of the shower he shook out his coat. A towel wrapped in his magical aura began to dry him off. Once done he gelled and styled his mane. He had a local DJ with the style and decided to use it himself. He went from the washroom to his room, down the stairs and to the kitchen. He looked at the stove. “I’ll eat breakfast at the shop.” He trotted through the kitchen living room. He stopped at the door and used his magic to put on his saddle bags. He left his house and sauntered down the streets of Ponyville. He took in a deep breath of the early morning air. “I wish I didn't have to go in so early.” He thought. “I wouldn't want her to hurt herself though. The clumsy mare.” He greeted a few other ponies who were on their morning commutes. He arrived at the coffee shop. The sign on the door said closed. Keys left his saddle bag and unlocked the door. He pushed it open and the bell gave a soft tinkle. The smell of coffee never left the little shop. He trotted past the various tables and the counter. “Time to get started.” He levitated his apron from its hook and put it on. Then went to the sink and washed his hooves. Five coffee pots levitated to the sink and filled with water. Then back to the machines and filled them. One filter filled with coffee grounds fell into place in the coffee pots. The machines flipped on and coffee started falling into the pots. “Now to see what we have on the menu for today.” He thought as he looked up at the board. “Blank. I guess she didn't change it yesterday. Better go wake her.” He trotted through the back and up the stairs. He knocked on the door and waited for a few minutes. When no answer came he used his key to unlock the door. Peaking inside he called out. "Java, you awake?" Silence. He opened the door and stepped in. Fluffy, the shop owner’s hairless cat greeted him with a soft meow. “Hi fluffy, Java still asleep?” He chuckled softly. Every morning he had to wake her it was the same routine. He trotted into the bedroom. There in bed, still sleeping, was the shop owner. She was a beautiful mare. Her coat was a light cream color and she had a flowing reddish-brown mane and tail. He totted over and shook her . “Java, it’s time to get up.” He said and took a step back. She stirred as her lovely, light green eyes fluttered open. “Morning Fade.” She said as she attempted to get out of bed. She slipped on her cover and toppled onto the floor. Landing face first. “Are you okay?” Fade asked as he came over to help her up. “Yeah, yeah I’m fine.” Her voice, though a bit annoyed, was as sweet as honey. “You need to be more careful. I swear, you are the clumsiest mare I've ever met.” Fade chuckled. He levitated her glasses onto her face. “Come on, you didn't change the menu and we have to start on breakfast.” Fade said turning towards the bedroom door. They trotted out of the room and down the stairs. He pulled the whiteboard down with his magic and sat it on the counter. Java grabbed a marker and wrote down the days specials. When she had finished, Fade hung the board. It now read, “Breakfast: Sugared oats. Lunch: Spring salad with ripe red tomatoes.” Beside the specials board hung a menu with all the different coffees and a few other assorted drinks. Fade went to work and started a few pots of oats. He checked the clock. “Twenty till six. Almost opening time. Guess I’ll see if any dishes need washing. Can you watch the oats Java?” He asked turning to the mare. “Of course Fade, I am an adult you know.” He chuckled. “Yes, but we wouldn't want any accidents, now would we?” Java gave a sheepish grin. “I’ll be careful, I promise.” With that she turned and got a wooden spoon from the drawer and stirred the oats. Fade went to the sink and began to wash and dry the plates and saucers the shop used to serve food, coffee and tea. “Oops, forgot to start the tea.” Fade said as he finished washing the last of the dishes. He put the dishes away and started making an assortment of teas. Earl grey, jade, jasmine, and chamomile. At six he walked over and flipped the sign from closed to open. After about twenty minutes a few customers entered. They made their orders of oats and coffee. Fade acted as waiter. Taking the customers their assorted orders. “Fade, we need some dishes washed. I’ll take over as waiter.” Fade sighed. “Are you sure? I don’t want you to burn yourself.” She huffed. “I can handle a few cups of coffee.” She turned the stove on low so the oats wouldn't burn. Fade went to washing his dishes. A mare came in and order a cappuccino. Java set out a small saucer and placed a coffee cup on it and set it into the cappuccino machine. Balancing the coffee on her head she slowly walked over to the mares table. “See Fade, told you I could handle it.” In that moment, her concentration broke and the coffee toppled onto the floor. The cup and saucer shattered. “Oh dear, I’m sorry. I’ll fetch another cup right away.” She trotted to the closet and fetched a broom, towel, and dustpan. Sweeping up the shattered glass. Then drying up the coffee. “Broke another one.” She sighed and went back behind the counter, throwing the broken glass away. She prepared another cappuccino and took it to the customer. “Sorry for the wait, I dropped the first cup. Clumsy me.” She chuckled. The Mare smiled and replied. “No problem. Your coffee is the best in town and worth the wait.” The mare happily drank her coffee and left. The day passed without many more accidents. A few broken plates and cups. The worst was when Java burnt herself. Java was carrying a hot cup of Chamomile tea to a mare. Fluffy had wondered down from her upstairs apartment and was walking through the shop. Java hadn't noticed the cat walk in front of her and tripped over her. The cup and saucer clattered to the floor, unfortunately the tea had spilled onto her foreleg. "Ow, buck that's hot." Fade saw and rushed over with a rag to help her. He wiped off the coffee. "Are you alright Java?" He asked concerned. "Yes, though I might have a nasty burn." Fade helped her up. She went to the kitchen and got some burn ointment. She rubbed it over the burn. The day ended and Fade flipped the sign on the door to closed. “I’ll clean up Java, you go take a rest and tend to that burn.” His horn lit up and a broom began to sweep the shop. A few rags cleaned the tables and counter. Once finished with that he emptied the pots, cleaned them and sat them in place. “Ready for the next day of business.” He locked the downstairs door and headed into the apartment upstairs. He found Java on the couch in her living room. “I’m going to stay for the night if you don’t mind.” He said taking a seat on the couch opposite her. "I don't mind, but might I ask why?" She asked, a bit curious. "Well, we're closed tomorrow and I figure I could wake up early, do some things around the shop." "Oh, alright. Well I don't have a spare bed, but mines big enough for two. I don't mind sharing and sleeping alone gets kinda...." She paused looking for the right word. "Lonely." He replied. "Yeah, that's one word for it." They both sighed and sat in silence.

Chapter 2: Surprise Feelings.Fade broke the silence. "Well, if you don't mind sharing a bed I don't." "Well if it were some pony else, I would mind. We've known each other for each other for four years. I trust you, so don't try anything." She giggled. Fade blushed "O-Of course not!" "I was only joking Fade, calm down." Java yawned. "Guess it's time for bed." Fade yawned and nodded. He got up and followed Java to the bedroom. Fade used his magic to fix the blanket for them. They both lied down and simultaneously said. "Goodnight." The light flickered off and the two fell asleep. The sun rose over Ponyville, peaking through the window of Java's bedroom. Fluffy walked in and jumped, landing on Java. She awoke, feeling the small cat land on her. "Morning Fluffy." She gently pushed the cat off and turned. Seeing Fade sound asleep, she sighed. "Poor guy, always having to help me out. I know it's his job, but I make it more stressful. Always falling or tripping. Breaking things and getting hurt. I know he worries about me." She thought. The thought of some pony actually worrying about her made her smile. "Better go ahead and start inventory." She thought rolling out of bed. She went to the kitchen and got a cup of water before heading down stairs. Starting with the stuff on the lower shelves, she counted supplies and food. Once done she got the ladder to reach the higher shelves. Fade had slept longer than usual. He heard the sound of hooves downstairs. “Better go help Java.” He thought as he dragged himself out of bed. He trotted downstairs and opened the door that lead from the steps to the store room. Java was on a ladder pulling a box down off a shelf. “Wait Java, let me help.” He started to trot over. “I got it Fa….” She started to say as she slipped off the ladder. She let out a yelp as she fell. Fade rushed over and caught her in his magic before she hit the floor. He eased her onto the ground and helped her up. She looked up into Fades eyes. Her green eye's shimmered behind her glasses. "Java, I never noticed how lovely your eyes are." Fade said, causing Java to blush. "Th-Thank you." Java smiled warmly. Lost in the moment, she leaned up and kissed Fade, quickly pulling away. Fade was stunned, looking down at her. A rosy red blush painted across his face as well as Java's.. “I-I’m sorry Fade, I don’t know what came over me.” “J-Java.” Fade stuttered. Both were stunned and didn't quite know what to say. After a few moment's Java spoke up. “Th - thank you Fade, I could have really gotten hurt.” She said standing up. “Ye-Yeah, wouldn't want that. I guess we should finish inventory.” Java nodded in agreement. Fade turned to the box. It sat on the floor, a few coffee beans had spilled out. He opened it to check the damage. “Well, you might be okay, but the coffee beans aren't. Take one bag off of the total.” He levitated the box back into place. Java went to the wall and used the pen hung on the wall to mark off the bag. “Not a major loss. Could have been worse.” She sighed. “I wish I wasn't so clumsy.” “Yeah, it could have been worse. You could have gotten seriously hurt. Let me handle the high shelves, okay.” He said grabbing another few boxes in his magic. After he finished with the coffee beans he checked the tea, cups, plates, and food. “We need to order more food and plates. We’re good on cups, for now.” “Alright, I write up an order sheet.” She went to the desk where she kept all the spare order and inventory sheets. “Three boxes of plates, two boxes of lettuce, two of tomatoes, three bales of hay, and three boxes of buns. That about right?” She asked writing down the orders on various sheets. “That should do it.” Fade said putting the last of the boxes away. “Now, to check on the machines.” He left the storage room and went behind the counter, checking all the equipment they used for the business. “All good here. Anything else we need to do Java?” He called to the mare in the back. “Nope, that’s all.” She replied, putting the order sheets in envelopes. She walked out of the storage room. “I’m going to put these in the mail. Can you go give fluffy some food?” She asked trotting through the shop. “Yeah, I got it.” Fade said as he headed back to the storage room and up the stairs to the apartment. He trotted through the door and past the living room. He saw fluffy in front of her food bowl. “Hungry fluffy?” He asked as he searched for the cat’s food. He found it in the cabinet under the sink and poured the cat some food. Then filled the water bowl. He went into the living room and sat on the couch. He couldn't help but think back to the kiss. He put a hoof to his lips. "D-Did she really kiss me or was that a dream?" He was deep in thought and hadn't noticed Java trotting in. "Fade, I think we should talk." Her tone was more serious and a bit embarrassed then usual. "You mean the-" Fade began, but Java cut him off. "Yes, I mean the kiss." She sighed and moved to the other couch. Taking a seat she continued to talk. "I don't know what happened. What you said, it-it was the first time a stallion has said something like that to me. Most stallions overlook me because i'm clumsy. They don't see me, they see a foolish mare falling on her face." Her ears folded as she spoke. Fade listened, ears perked, but drooping. "I was so glad to finally meet a stallion who looked past the clumsy and saw the real me. You're the first to do that." Fade held up a hoof. "Hold on, are you saying...." He trailed off. "Yes, I think I am. I think....I like you Fade. As more than a friend." Fade's ears flicked. "I'm not sure what to say." Silence, no words came to either for a while. After a while of thinking Fade broke the silence. "What if we went on a date?" Java gasped. "R-really?!" She squealed with excitement. "Yeah, it would be a good way for you to see if your feelings are true and for me to find out what mine are." To be continued. Author's Note Alright, chapter 2 is redone. I hope this is better than the first. I know the relationship is still a bit rushed, but I like it as it is.
Chapter 3: The Date"Great! We can go this evening." Java squealed. She was more animated. All nervousness she had about the situation seemed to vanish. "Yeah, that sounds good." Fade was still trying to figure out his feelings for Java. "Do I like her like that?" He thought. "I think i'm going to head home to get ready. I'll be back around seven or eight and we'll figure out where we are going." Fade stood and trotted from the living room of the apartment. "See you then." Java said as he left. She went to her room and sat on her bed, thinking of what to do. Fade had just left the shop and was on his way back to his house. "I can't believe she feels that way." He thought as he trotted down the street. He arrived home and lied in bed. At the shop Java was elated. "I can't believe he said yes." She thought, overjoyed. Fluffy wandered in and hopped up on the bed beside her. "Hello fluffy." She pat the cat's head. "What do you think about Fade?" She asked, knowing a response wouldn't come. She giggled. A few hours latter Fade had taken a shower and was styling his mane. "I don't even know what to say to her or what to talk about." He trotted down the stairs and through his house. Grabbing his saddlebags He walked out the door." Fade was trotting down the street when he saw a florist's stand. "How much is a bouquet of roses?" He asked getting his bit's from his saddle bags. "Five bits." The mare replied getting the bouquet ready. "I'll take one." He levitated five bits from the bag and placed them on the counter. "Thank you sir, hope they like them." The florist said handing him the bouquet. He grabbed the roses in his magic and continued towards the shop. Java had just finished getting ready when a knock came at the door to the shop. She trotted down the to the storage room. Fade used his key and unlocked the door. He opened it as Java past the counter. Fade saw her and blushed. She wore a bright green dress that she kept for special occasions. The dress matched her eyes and the bow she wore at the base of her tail. It was a simple, yet elegant dress she had purchased from Rarity's boutique. "J-Java, you look...lovely." He levitated the bouquet of roses to her. "I got you these." "There beautiful. Let me put these in a vase and we'll go." She turned and trotted back upstairs. Rummaging through her cabinets she found a vase, filled it with water, and set the roses in it. She returned downstairs where Fade was waiting. "Alright, we can go." "Yes, but where?" Fade asked opening the door for Java. "Let's just go to a simple restaurant." She trotted out the door. "Works for me." Fade said following her. As they trotted down the street, Fade decided to speak. "How long have you had feelings for me?" "Well, I'd say sense about a week or two ago." She said thinking. "You are a handsome stallion, but it takes more than just looks to hook some ponies." "What then? What do you like about me?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Your so kind and helpful. You offered to help around the shop because you thought I needed it. Truth be told, I did. Running a shop on your own takes a lot of work, that work is doubled when you're as clumsy as me." Fade listened, ears perked as she spoke. "You always helped me when I broke something or hurt myself. I had never had some pony to help me like that, other than my parents when I was younger." "Stallions are supposed to help there friends when they need it." Fade smiled. "It's nice to know the help is appreciated." "Some pony's got to appreciate it." She said as they got closed to the restaurant. "What about you though? Have you figured out your feelings yet?" "No, not exactly. I know I like you, I mean we've been friends since I was sixteen. You were eighteen and had just opened the shop with the help of your parents a week before we met. Then they had to move and you were left with the shop. I thought that such a sweet, kind mare could use help. I asked about a job and we started working together." He finished as they entered the restaurant. "I haven't thought much about us, other than friends. Your a beautiful mare and so kind and sweet. It's kind of funny to see you make a clumsy mistake, as long as your not hurt. It's also kind of cute. I mean a twenty two year old mare falling when she get's out of bed, I thought only foals could do that." He chuckled. "Hey! I slipped on my blanket!" She huffed as they trotted up to the counter. "Two orders of hay burgers, hay fries, and large glasses of water." She said as the stallion behind the counter scribbled down the order. "For here or to go?" He asked adding up the total. "Here." Fade and Java answered. "That'll be twelve bits." He said "I'll pay Java." Fade said placing twelve bits on the counter. "Go and find us a seat. I'll wait for the food." Java trotted off to find a seat. The food arrived and Fade grabbed it in his magic. He trotted through the restaurant looking for Java. "Over here." She called, waving a hoof from her seat. Fade trotted over and sat the tray down on the table. He sat across from Java. They both sat and ate in silence for a few minutes before Java spoke. "What did you do before you worked at Hot Heads?" She took a bit of her burger. "Well, I was born to be a warrior, so I spent most of my time training. Sadly, Equestria does't need warriors as it is now, so my talent is a bit worthless." "Unless some pony tries to rob you. You being a warrior, they wouldn't get far." Java giggled. "They wouldn't know what hit them. Fade chuckled. "Yeah, I guess it's good for that. What about you? What did you do before you ran the shop?" Java thought for a moment. "Not much, I used to make my parents coffee in the mornings. That's about it." "What about hobbies, do you have any?" Fade took a drink of his water and ate a few hay fries. "Drawing and painting. I like to do art in my free time." "I doodle, but i'm not any good." Fade sighed. "Then again, I wasn't born an artist." "Me either, I took lessons. " She said taking a bit of her burger. "I would, but I like my doodles." They sat in silence again as they ate. Both thinking of what to say next. "Do you like to listen to music?" Fade asked before finishing off his fries. "Yes, I like to listen to rock and electronic." She finished her burger. "Really? Me too there's one DJ here in Ponyville I like in particular." "Who would that be?" Java asked sipping her water. "Vinyl Scratch, or I guess DJ Pon3, her stage name." "Yeah, I know. I love her music." Java finished off her fries. "Maybe we could go to one of her concerts." Fade said finishing his food and water. "Yeah, that would be awesome!" She said throwing her hooves to the side, knocking her water over. "Oops." Fade grabbed some napkins and cleaned up the water. "Well, our food's gone. What should we do now?" He asked gathering the trash and throwing it away. "Maybe Vinyl has a concert or show going on somewhere tonight." Java said getting out of her seat. "Yeah, let's go look around." Fade said standing and heading for the exit, Java following. They trotted through the streets, looking for a sign or other promotion to show Vinyl had a show. After a while they gave up. "Looks like she isn't playing anywhere." Java sighed. "Would have been fun to." "Let's just head back to the shop. We can try the concert another night." Java nodded in agreement and they headed for Hot Heads. They reached the shop and Java stopped at the door. "Want to stay again tonight?" She asked pushing the door open." "Sure, I don't mind." Fade said walking into the shop, followed by Java. After a night of talking and a few misshapes on Java's part the two got into bed and fell asleep. To be continued.

Chapter 4: Java in Heat.Author's Note Alright guys, I planned to wait a few more chapters for the clop, but I was reading and it struck a bit of inspiration. Hope you enjoy chapter 4. I did a bit of research on a mare's heat for this, and what I came up with was either yearly, or monthly. I wasn't sure which, so I used monthly. If you know more about female horse/pony anatomy than I do, please leave a comment or message me so I can change it. Also, I'm trying to be more detailed. Any tips would help, thanks. Writing this, I realize. Clop is hard. Props to those who do it right. I am probably not one of those. I hope you still enjoy anyhow. I know this needs work, and I mean WORK. I'll be doing that, in the mean time, please, be patient. I made a foalish error in publishing this, it was good, but it wasn't as good as I could make it. I'm trying to do better guys. It's my first fic, so just bear with me. Alright, here it is, nice and edited. Enjoy. Chapter 4: Java in Heat. A few weeks had passed, nothing out of the usual, other than the weekly dates the two went on. Each one went better than the last One day they had a picnic under some apple tree's at sweet apple acres, with the permission of the apple family. One was just another dinner date. By that time Fade and Java were both sure of their feelings, they loved each other. This caused Fade to spend more time than usual around the shop. He couldn't have his mare friend hurting herself, now could he? Fade was excited as he arrived at the shop for their latest date. Sunday night, strange for a concert. He wished they had a different day picked. He never liked staying out late on a night before work, but they had finally found a DJ Pon3 show. They left a bit later than planned and could herd soft bass thumping as they approached the DJ's venue for the night. A small club he couldn't recall the name of. The two entered and the music blared. The hard thumping base and heavy sounds of electronic music got the two moving. Each could tell the other was having a blast. The end of the night was the most eventful and peculiar. The two had left the club after the show and arrived in front of the shop. "Well that was a blast!" Fade said, excitement and adrenaline from the music still present. "Yes, it was. I had fun. Wouldn't have wanted to be there with any pony else." Java's face was one of pure bliss, and again adrenaline from the music. She leaned in and kissed her Colt friend. "So soft, just like last time." Fade thought as he returned the kiss. His mind tried to think back to the awkward, flat out abrupt first kiss the two shared. He couldn't though, his mind was on the present." Java pulled away at a sudden thought. "Fade, the shop going to be closed next week." "Why?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "I close the shop one week a month, give myself a break." She lied, knowing full well what the next week would entail. "Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that. I recall you closing around the ending or beginning of the month." Fade turned to leave. "See you tomorrow Java." Java waved and retired to her apartment above the coffee shop. "If only it were to give myself a break." She sighed thinking back to the lie she had told Fade. "Maybe I should have been honest. We've been dating for about a month now, hell he might have helped me." Java thought entering her room. She had the week in question marked on her calendar in bold letters. Heat cycle She had, through a few months of tracking, thought she had a precise date of when it would start. She sat on her bed next to Fluffy. "What do you think fluffy? Should I have told him?" She thought for a moment. "No, I wouldn't want to rush things too much. Besides, if he did help, I might have gotten PREGNANT!" She emphasized the word much more than was necessary. "Not that it's a bad thing, I just don't know if I’m ready." She curled up in bed under her covers as the light flicked off. She pushed the thoughts of pregnancy and motherhood from her mind and fell asleep. Fade awoke at the same time as usual. "Ugh, I don't want to go to work." He grumbled, having had a late night with Java. The date had ended at roughly one in the morning. Despite not wanting to go to work, he did want to see Java, so he rolled out of bed, showered, got dressed, and left. A few feet from the shop he could see a sign. He trotted up and looked at it. It was a hastily hoof written sign. Closed until further notice. Fade raised an eyebrow. "I thought she said next week, what would cause a change?" A few thoughts entered his mind, mostly of her having hurt herself in some way. "I'd better make sure she's okay." He thought using his key to get into the shop. He looked around. "Nothing unusual down here." Fade thought, he closed the door and locked it. Setting his saddlebags by the door, he turned and trotting through the shop. Opening the door to the storage room, his head swiveled back and forth. "Nothing here either." He trotted into the storage room and shut the door. "Guess I'll look upstairs." He opened the door that lead up the stairs. Soft clops could be heard reverberating off the walls as he climbed the stairs. He knocked on the door....no answer. He grumbled and headed back down the stairs, trotted out of the storage room, and fetched his keys from his saddlebags. He returned upstairs and unlocked the door. He stepped into the living room and shut the door. "Java, are you...." He stopped. Something was different. He looked around. Everything in the living room and kitchen were the same. "What is it?" He thought. He took a deep breath and his nostrils twitched a bit. "There it is, what is that?" He could detect a scent he wasn't used to. The apartment usually had a sweet scent, as Java liked to burn candles and the scent of different coffees occasionally made its way upstairs. This was different. He had never smelled anything quite like this before. It was an enticing scent. He didn't know what it was, but he liked it. He followed it and stopped outside of Java's room. "Looks like it's coming from Java's room." Fade was about to open the door when he heard a frustrated groan. "Is that Java?" He knocked on the door. "Java, you closed the shop a week earlier than planned. Is everything alright?" Java gasped and replied. "Um, yes, everything is fine. I just needed my break a bit earlier than expected." She used that lie again. Fade stood outside of the door and thought for a moment. "You sure you're okay? I can help if anything is wrong." His nostrils twitched again. "Oh, yeah, what's that lovely smell?" He asked through the door. "I said everything is fine!" She said, frustration evident in her tone. "What smell? I don't smell any..." Her eyes went wide. She knew the scent he was talking about. It was her. She had been up for a good thirty minutes and had been trotting around her apartment trying to find a way to relieve her frustration. "Uh, yeah, that's a new candle I picked up the other day. I decided to lite it earlier." "Well whatever it is, it smells great. Can I come in?" "Uh, no, I’m a bit sick." She said faking a cough. "What? You just said everything was fine. I'm coming in." Fade said opening the door. The scent of her heat hit him hard. He looked Java over. She looked normal, but he could tell she was frustrated about something. "I don't know what it is, but that candle smell's amazing." He said taking a deep breath. He might not have known the smell, but his instincts did. He hadn't realized it, but he had been getting quite aroused. He glanced around the room and noticed the calendar. He trotted over and read it. He didn't see anything on this week, next week however. Fade went a bit pale. Closing the shop, the scent he couldn't identify, and he now noticed his erection resting against his belly. "Java, are you in heat?" He turned to her. She blushed and nervously answered. “Y-Yes, I am in heat.” She sat on the bed. “I’m sorry I didn't tell you Fade, it’s just…” “You felt like you’d be rushing things somehow?” He asked talking a seat beside her. “Yeah, kind of, and….pregnancy…” Fade’s eyes went wide for a second. “Yeah, there is that, but who’s to say we would do that.” Her gaze dropped to the floor. “Well, it tends to happen when a mare is in heat and her stallions around. I just don’t think I’m ready.” Fade put his hoof on hers. “Java, you’re a sweet, kind, and all around amazing mare. I know you’re clumsy, but I would be there to help, should that happen. You’d be a great mother.” Her face brightened. “Really? Y-You think so?” She asked bringing her gaze to his. “I don’t think so, I know so.” Fade smiled warmly. “Fade you’re so sweet.” Fade leaned down, pressing their lips together. Java wrapped her hooves around his neck and pulled him back onto the bed with her. She could feel his pulse throbbing against her belly. Fade could feel her fur against his shaft. It was soft and warm, like laying on a cotton blanket. Her lips were soft and warm. Java thought of how lucky she was. She had found such a loyal, loving stallion of her own. The burning between her thighs grew like a wildfire. Java broke the kiss. “F-Fade, W-will you help me?” She asked, a bit lewdly Fade, not having had experience in this area, didn't understand what she meant. “Help you with what?” He asked looking her over. She spread her hind legs a bit and guided his hoof down her form. Fade followed with his eyes, seeing where she had stopped. He blushed and nodded. “O-of course.” Fade began to move his hoof. Java shivered, her body tensing a bit. His hoof was cold, which jolted her a bit, but his touch was gentle and loving. He continued to work on her. Her musk was stronger now, almost overpowering. He knew that she needed this, badly. Then he got an idea, or rather a voice in the back of his mind called out to him. “Use your mouth.” The voice echoed in the back of his mind. “For what?” He thought, not knowing what the voice was. “Also, who or what the hell are you?” He thought. “I’m your instinct, just listen to what I say. Use your mouth.” Fade shrugged inwardly. He moved his head down her form. Java could feel his breath getting lower and lower, until his head was between her thighs. He looked in awe, this being the first time he had a good look at a mare’s nethers. It was a bright pink and engorged from her cycle. It looked almost like a budding flower. He hesitated at first, but the voice in his gnawed at the back of his mind. Slowly he put his muzzle closer and closer. His hot breath against her mare hood made Java shiver. She could feel the wetness of his tongue as it moved up and down. “MMMMMMMPPPPPHH!” She let out a low moan as jolts of pleasure ran up her spine and throughout her body. Fade, having heard the moan began to rub her swollen clit with his nose. Another wave of pleasure washed over Java. “MMMM, this is great….I can’t believe this is happening.” She thought as Fade continued. He snaked his tongue in, tasting her sweet juices. Java had a knack of eating sweeter things, she didn't like bitter foods. His tongue continued its assault on the mare. Java was rocked with pleasure. She had never felt such pleasure, and knew it would only get better. He could feel her muff spasm as he darted his tongue in and out. Electricity shot thorough Java and she could feel her body tensing. “F-Fade…I-I’m gonna-“She tried to say, but it was too late, her orgasm rocked her. Her walls clenched and Fade’s muzzle was covered in Java’s mare cum. He licked up what he good, savoring her sweet taste, it was like honey or a fine sweet brandy. He licked what he could off his muzzle and sat up. “From that, I’d say I was good.” He said jokingly, licking up the remnants of her orgasm. Java, left breathless from the experience, simply nodded in response. She took a moment to catch her breath before speaking. “I suppose I should return the favor.” She cooed and pushed Fade back onto the bed. She put a hoof on hoof on his length and began to rub. She was surprised how hard and thick it was. “Would that even fit?” She wondered silently, she continued to rub his smooth, throbbing colt hood. She could feel every pulse and twitch. Now she knew that he needed this. Her muzzle slowly moved closer, and she could smell his musk. Fade felt her hoof replaced with her tongue. Java slowly licked up the shaft. She wanted to make him feel as good as she did earlier. The wetness of her tongue was bliss to Fade. He moaned softly as her tongue made its way to his tip. Java licked over it once, tasting the salty sweet liquid of pre-cum. This hole endeavor had made him more aroused them ever. She took the tip in, using her tongue to massage the underside of his shaft as she took in more. The warm wetness of her mouth was amazing. Java could feel him twitching as she continued. She began to suck as she moved her head. “UUUUUMMMMPPhhh!” He moaned. He couldn't believe this was happening, with his boss of all ponies. Well, he supposed they had been dating for a while, she was more a mare friend than his boss. Java took an inch into her throat, breathing through her nose. More of his pre drizzled down her throat as she did. He couldn't hold back. He felt his climax building and his body twitching. “AAAAAHHHHH!” He moaned, not being able to manage anything more as a hot rope of spunk shot into Java’s maw. She drank his spunk down, rope after rope of the hot milk. She pulled off a bit, to catch some on her tongue. It was sweeter than before and a bit bitter. She swallowed the last of it. Fade sat up. “That….was…..great.” “Well, it only gets better, I’m not satisfied.” Java laid back on the bed, the scent of her heat was strong enough to arouse Fade further. “What if you get pregnant? I thought you weren't ready.” He asked, thinking it was just her cycle talking. “Even if I’m not, like you said, I’ll have you there to help me. If I’m with you, I feel ready for anything.” She giggled, having sounded cornier than intended. Fade nodded and positioned himself over her. The light shining through the window made Java look even more beautiful. Her green eyes shined behind her glasses. The brown freckles on her cheeks stood out from her cream fur. She was a beauty. “Java, you are the most beautiful mare I have ever seen.” “You are the most handsome stallion I've ever seen.” She said, looking deep into Fade’s stunning blue eyes. He shifted his hips a bit, so that his cock was pressing at her entrance. Her nether lips practically quivered with anticipation. Java nodded for him to go ahead. He slowly moved his hips forward. Java could feel him enter, his width stretching her virgin muff as he did. She winced and bit her lip as pain rocked her body. Fade notice the look and halted his progress. “Java, are you okay? We don’t have to do this. It pains me to hurt you.” Fade said with caring concern. Java shook her head. “No, don’t stop. I want this. I know it hurts now, but it will go away.” She smiled reassuringly and Fade slowly continued to slide his length into her. He could feel her walls clenching around him, trying to force out the invader. He knew he was hurting her. The look of pain on her face saddened him, but if it’s what she wanted, he was going to give it to her. Java could feel herself being stretched by his length. Her loins screamed in pain, but she wasn't giving in. She wanted this, she wanted him. Fade stopped once his length was fully inside. Java could feel him pressing against her cervix, which worsened the pain. “Just nod when you’re ready.” He leaned down and kissed her cheek. He loved the feel of her cotton soft fur against his lips. The pain began to ebb away and Java nodded. Fade drew out and slid back in. Her walls clenched around him again. It felt great for Fade, though still a bit painful for Java. Her tight tunnel was like a sleeve around his rod. He moaned and Java winced. He drew out again, sliding back in. He found a slow steady rhythm. Slowly, the pain gave way to wave after wave of pleasure. Java began to buck her hips down to meet Fade’s movement. “MMMMMPPPPPHHH!” She moaned out, feeling every inch as it slid in and out. Her inner walls clasped around her lover’s colt hood. Fade loved the look of pleasure on Java’s face. He always liked making others happy, this was more than that. Java was shuddered as jolt after jolt, tingle after tingle of pleasure shot through her body. “F-Faster.” She managed to say through hot, heavy breaths. Fade nodded and bucked faster in compliance. Java looked up at Fade as he rutted her. He was such a rugged and handsome stallion. She wouldn't have had this any other way. The mind numbing pleasure the two felt was incomparable. Fade could feel himself tensing, and his balls tightening. He thought he should give her warning. “J-Java, I’m close!” He screamed. She began bucking her hips down on him harder. Loud, lewd slaps could be heard as their groins made contact. She wrapped her legs around him, not about to let him pull out. His head began to flare and stretch her further. “MMMMMMPPPPPPHHHH…UGGGGHHHHH!” She moaned as her walls clenched tight around Fade. Her hole was beyond tight now. It felt almost as if it were pulling him. Each buck sent electric pleasure shocking through the two. Java could feel Fade’s pulsing and twitching becoming more erratic. “Fill me!” She moaned out, wanting to satiate her heat. Fade simply nodded. He could feel himself bumping her cervix with each thrust. Fade threw his head back and let out an earth shattering moan as his flared head locked him in. Java could fell his hot, thick seed flowing into her womb, then out. Java shuddered as her orgasm hit. Fade could feel a new wetness on his shaft and groin. Fade saw the look of pure ecstasy and bliss on Java’s face. His face was on in the same. They would remember this for the rest of their lives. Fade was exhausted after their season. His legs gave out and he feel on Java smiled and rolled over. Fade landed beside her, his tip keeping him locked in place. Java could still feel some of his seed pumping into her. “We both needed this.” She thought as Fade pulled her close. They wrapped their hooves around each other’s necks, closed their eyes and kissed. Java’s lips were so soft, like silk. Fade ran a hoof through her mane as they kissed. Fade’s tongue pushed against Java’s lips. She opened her mouth, enough to let it in. After a bit of exploring they wrapped together. They could taste each other’s spunk from earlier in their spit. Java’s lustful heat died down and she broke the kiss. “Ready to be a father, Fade?” She asked giggling. “Hey, we don’t know anything yet.” He smiled. “Of course I am, as long as you’re with me. We will make great parent.” Java nodded in agreement. “I love you Fade.” “I love you to, JJ.” Fade’s erection withered and he pulled it out with a wet ‘plop’. Some of his seed ran down Java’s thigh. “I’m glad that if I do have foals, it’s with you.” “Me to JJ.” They smiled and laid their heads on the pillows. Shortly after they feel asleep in each other’s arms. To Be Continued.
