“Come on, Boomie,” Blaze called for him. “This is something you do not want to be late for!”

“I'm coming!” Boomie rushed out of their house into the Cloudsdale street. Today was the day! Today, the Princess of Love herself would be trying him out and deciding which mares he should have. He couldn't stop thinking about it as he fell in next to his brother and sister on the way to the stadium. It was making him a little nervous, actually. “How will she know which mares are right for me?”

Rainbow Dash laughed. “She just knows! That's who she is. That's why she's the Princess.”

“She's right,” Blaze added. “She's been doing this job as long as anypony can remember, and she's never really made a mistake yet. Somehow, she just magically knows... once she gets to know the stallion a little.”

“Okay...” Boomie walked along with them a little farther, thinking hard about it. “You said she's going to 'take my measure', right? What's she going to measure, and why does it have to be in front of an audience?”

“It's only in front of an audience because everypony else wants to get to know the new stallions, too. A long time ago, when things were more primitive, they tried to have it all done in private where nopony could see, but ponies kept sneaking in to watch, so now they just make a show out of it.”

That was interesting and all, but it left the most important part of his question unanswered. “But how will she measure me?”

“It's simple,” Dash cut in. “She fucks you.”

Boomie froze in mid-step, letting the other two get ahead a bit before they stopped too. “What?”

Blaze came back for him and nudged him back into walking. “Really, you didn't get that? You're a bit slow on the uptake, aren't you?”

“Hey!”

“Just kidding, just kidding.” Blaze patted him on the back. “But really, I thought you'd figure out for yourself what being measured by the Princess of Love would imply.”

“I'm new at this, okay? How was I supposed to know?”

“Fair enough,” Blaze said. “But come on, we need to go faster if we're going to get there in time, and we'd better get there in time, because you're one of the guests of honor. She only comes to Cloudsdale once a year or so – you don't want to miss it and end up waiting a whole year to get some mares, do you?” He took off, flying down the street rather than walking.

Both Boomie and Dash followed his lead. Since they were all strong flyers, they easily arrived in time. The seats in the stadium were filling up, but nothing was happening yet, nopony on stage.

Blaze led them to the very front row, a section roped off for the new colts and their families. All the other new colts were already there. He didn't know any of them, but it looked like they were all here with their fathers and mothers ... which made him feel a bit self-conscious about being here with his brother and sister instead. Still, he took his seat calmly and stared at the empty stage, thinking about what would be happening up there soon.

It wasn't as if having sex was a private thing or anything. He'd never even had sex in private, actually. It just seemed like the Princess of Love was coming so soon after his getting a cutie mark. Sure, he'd had a few lessons with Dash and Blaze – even playing with Blaze's Flitter and Cloudchaser a little – and they'd gotten him into a few of the finer details, but he still couldn't control Dash's orgasms almost on demand like Blaze could. He felt like he wasn't good enough yet. What if the Princess found him lacking and decided he didn't deserve any mares? And despite everything, the idea of trying to do it in front of all these ponies, a whole stadium full, felt more than a little intimidating.

He just hoped he wouldn’t screw it up.

“Ladies and Gentlecolts,” a disembodied announcer rang out over the noise of the crowd, “Please rise for our beloved Princess of Love, Princess Cadance!”

Boomie rose to his hooves along with everypony else in the cloud arena, straining his neck to catch a glimpse of the pink alicorn gliding her way down onto the fluffy cloud stage in the middle of the arena.

She was beautiful. Slender and graceful, adorned with royal jewelry on her hooves and in her mane, with multicolored feathers unlike he'd ever seen on any pegasus. He'd seen an alicorn once, Princess Luna on one of her nocturnal visits, just a glimpse from a dark window at a shape on a silvery moonlit street... But that was nothing like this. He'd never realized how amazing they were before.

“Thank you for that wonderful introduction, Silver Tongue.” Princess Cadance paused for the inevitable applause. “And welcome, everypony, to the Cloudsdale Thunderdome and the official Equestrian Choosing of the Colts!” Another burst of applause, longer this time. She paced back and forth as she waited for it to die down, looking around at the audience, especially at the new colts in the front row.

Boomie felt a slight chill in his spine when her eyes met his. There was such a knowing look in them.

Princess Cadance looked up at a booth in the back of the stands, way up high. “Why delay things any more than we have to? Let's give these ponies the show they've been waiting for!” Applause broke out again, but she spoke over it, her voice somehow carrying above it all. “Do the drawing, and tell us who's going to go first!”

The announcer's voice came through again, booming over the raucous shouting and stomping of hooves. “Just a moment please...” A long pause. “... And the first colt who will be going up on the stage to have the Princess of Love take his measure is...”

The wait was unbearable this time. Boomie's heart was beating so fast.

“Rainboomer, of the Rainbow family! Please step up onto the stage, young lad!”

His eyes went wide, and he gasped. It was good, he supposed, to not be getting sloppy seconds after all the other colts ... but, honestly, he had been hoping a couple of them would go first. That way, he'd know what was expected of him up there.

Dash nudged him. “Well don't just sit there, Dummy! Go on!”

Stumbling to his hooves, he walked over to the set of cloud-made stairs up to the stage. Everything seemed distant and not real. He just couldn't process what was going on. Before he knew it, he was standing there, in front of the Princess of Love, aware of little other than all the eyes watching him and with no idea at all what to do next.

“Hi, little guy,” she said quietly, just to him, leaning down far just to be able to get near him.

His stunned silence was definitely too long. He stared at the floor of the stage. “Um, Hi Princess Cadance,” he finally managed to mumble out much too quickly.

She whispered into his ear, “Just Cadance, please. No need for formality – we need to be comfortable with each other.”

Boomie nodded.

For a long moment, nothing happened. “Well?” the Princess asked.

The crowd seemed to be getting bored and fidgety. “Aw, look folks, seems like the little guy is a bit shy...” the announcer's voice called out. “Let's give him some encouragement!”

Shouts and applause thundered out from all the ponies in the stands. They were ready for a show!

They weren't getting the action they came for, though, not yet. Boomie glanced at them, then back up at Cadance. “I'm, um... I'm not sure what I should do.”

“I can't tell you,” she told him quietly. “The point is to find out what you're like, and that means letting you take the lead. If I tell you what to do, that only lets me know what I'm like.”

“Right ... but...”

“How about you just start with a kiss?”

That would be okay, wouldn’t it? He craned his neck, reaching up toward her.

Cadance leaned down and met him halfway. Her lips were warm and soft; they felt utterly amazing ... but they were totally passive, allowing him to take it only as far as he wanted to. How far did he want to go? Every experience before this had been guided by his brother. On his own now, he felt adrift, almost.

The announcer's voice came on again. “There we go! There's a little action to start us off. This little guy sure seems to be the slow-burning kind, but does he have it where it counts?”

They separated after merely touching lips for a moment, and Cadance looked into his eyes. He could see her thinking, judging, wondering if that was all he had.

He pressed his lips back into hers, this time reaching up to caress her cheek and pull her in closer. Their lips parted, and he wasn't even sure which one of them had started it. Hesitantly, he ventured his tongue into her, and he felt hers come out to meet it.

The crowd cheered. “Woah!” the announcer said. “Now that's more like it! That's a kiss!”

This time, when they pulled apart, she smiled.

“So,” he asked under his breath, “we just have sex?”

She nodded slightly. “In whatever way you like best.”

He looked up at her, towering over him. “But, um ... you're kind of too tall for me...”

Cadance grinned and her horn glowed. Next to her, a small platform grew out of the cloud stage. Of course. One of the benefits of being an alicorn meant she could change clouds like a pegasus, but she also had magic to do it with. Neat.

“Looks like she's made a platform for him, yes definitely a platform. We'll just have to wait and see what they've got planned.”

He hopped up onto the platform, but Cadance was still sideways next to it.

“Where do you want me?” she asked.

“Can you, um, back up to me?”

She smiled and nodded, looking at him with those knowing eyes. Turning sideways, she backed herself neatly up to the edge of the platform. It was already the perfect height for giving him access to her. She'd probably suspected exactly what Boomie wanted from the moment he'd said she was too tall. Maybe even from the moment she first looked in his eyes.

“Ah, looks like they're going for traditional pony style! An oldie but a goodie, and as old-hat as it may seem, it's still gotta be one of my favorites, what do you think, audience?”

Boomie stared at her, ignoring the announcer now. His legs felt jittery and his heart was beating faster than it should. Her rump – a Princess's rump – was right in front of him, the two utterly perfect pink cheeks and her tail demurely covering herself in between. That pink fur was so shiny and perfect-looking. He wondered how long she'd spent getting groomed just in preparation for this event. Just for him.

He reached out and touched it. Hers wasn't like Dash's... there wasn't any underlying hardness, just a deep soft firmness that made him want to dig his hooves into it. Wasn't he supposed to do what he wanted for this? He did, squeezing that perfect ass and rubbing it in a slow circle, pressing deep into her flesh and feeling it give under him.

Her tail began to rise a little, and it went higher and higher as he continued to play with her. When it rose up high enough and flicked to the side, she took his breath away. She was gorgeous, utterly gorgeous! Her pink skin matched her fur perfectly, and the graceful curves of her slightly pouting pussy were perfectly smooth, bottom to top, not a single wrinkle, spot, or stain on these royal lips. The two lips of her sex didn't quite meet in the middle, leaving a tiny glistening strip of pinker pink inside visible. Her whole marehood was surprisingly small for a pony as tall as she was, but then again, she was very slender. Boomie watched, hypnotized, as her tail rose higher and a solitary, perfectly clear, drop fell from the bottom of her slit.

“Ah, what's this?” the announcer cut in. “It looks like... Yes! Yes, he's starting to really get aroused now, just look at his nice little cock dropping out! And wow, did you see how fast it got hard? That's truly impressive, folks!”

Boomie blushed a bit at the commentary, but he didn't look away from the royal prize in front of him. He reached out and touched it, lightly brushing his hoof across the valley between her cheeks, letting it slide across her sex and pull it open slightly.

She winked, spilling a splash of crystal clear juices.

Well, this was supposed to be what he wanted ... and he definitely knew what he wanted now! He jumped forward, landing his chest on top of her rump, and he pushed himself into her in a single smooth stroke, all the way to his sheath.

“Oh wow! Get a load of this, folks! I sure didn't see that one coming!”

Cadance gasped, and her pussy convulsed around his shaft. He could feel her tail flicking up and down under his chest. She looked back at him, her eyes wide, but grinning back at him even wider.

Boomie could only stay where he was, trembling as he clutched onto her rump. She was so warm inside, so soft. He could feel every twitch of her muscles, every breath she took, every pulse of her pussy winking around the edge of his sheath.

It seemed like it took a long time before he calmed himself enough to start moving, start slowly thrusting in and out of her ... but it probably wasn't actually as long as it felt like. She felt so heavenly, as if the inside of her was just as smooth and perfect as her outer lips.

“Now there's some action! Just look at that little guy go! I bet he's really enjoying it now, and let me tell ya, folks, this sure does bring back memories, as I'm sure it does for all the other stallions in the audience.”

A din of masculine shouts answered back to the announcer after that.

Boomie knew he wouldn’t last long, not with how amazing she felt, not with the way she pushed back onto him, not with the way she pushed up, grinding his cock along the bottom of her silky passage.

She looked back at him, and their eyes met. It seemed like she could look straight through him and know everything about him, and she liked what she saw somehow, judging from her sly little grin.

He was flaring up inside her, stretching her tightness wide... He had a choice to make. It would feel amazing to empty himself into her ... but he also wanted to see her gorgeous rump and perfect royal lips covered in his cum. He'd never get another chance with her. This would be the one and only time.

“Okay, folks, keep a close watch now! I'm pretty sure this kid's about to blow!”

His first burst streamed into her, deep inside, but he changed his mind at the last moment, yanking himself out of her – making her yelp – then spraying the rest outside her. Thick spurts splattered onto the curve of her rump, squirting in between her thighs, splashing over her little puckered tail hole. Ropes of sticky white draped themselves over the perfect curves of her pussy, leaking into the tiny warm crevice between her pussy lips and her ass cheeks.

Boomie would never forget the look on Cadance's face as he did it. A kind of sultry victory, mixed with an odd, knowing gratitude. Her pussy winked, spilling some of his cum out from inside to mingle with what he'd painted her rump with already, mixed with her own clear fluids.

“Now that's some showmanship!” The audience's applause finally cut through Boomie's single-minded focus on Cadance. “And just look at that volume! Pretty impressive for such a young colt!”

Boomie panted, flushed with exertion and the heady feeling of success. His cock slowly softened and retreated back into him, and he backed himself off of her. He stood there, on his little platform, gasping for breath as Cadance turned around and looked at him.

She whispered, just for him: “Thank you, that was fun. And I think I know just the mares for you.” She winked.

His face flushed even harder. He felt like he should say something back, but he had no idea what would be appropriate ... and he had the growing feeling that he was supposed to get off the stage now.

“A big round of applause for our lovely Princess of Love, folks!” The audience thundered again. “Clean-up crew on stage, please – clean-up crew on stage.”

“Go on now.” Cadance smiled at him “Go back to your family and enjoy the rest of the show.”

Boomie nodded, and as he made his way down from the stage with more than a few backward glances, four matching white pegasus mares with golden manes made their way past him.

The four mares wasted no time in rushing over to Cadance, and they immediately began licking her clean, their tongues carefully wiping every trace of his cum from the Princess. He stared back at them, in awe and more than a little aroused at the sight. One of them even buried her muzzle in Cadance's slit, doing her best to lick away the cum from inside her.

He made his stumbling way back to his seat without taking his eyes off that.

“You did good up there, Bro,” Blaze said as he sat down. “Not as good as me, of course – I pulled on her wings when I did it – but still really good.”

“Made me hot!” On the other side of him, Dash pulled her hoof out from between her legs and held it up to Boomie's face. He could smell her now-familiar musk all over it.

“Okay, looks like the clean-up crew is finished, so let's welcome our next colt, Thunderclap. Give him a cheer, everypony!”

Boomie watched as the mares of the clean-up crew trotted down from the stage and past the front row, back to wherever they'd been waiting. As the last one of them passed by, she looked him in the eyes, smiled, and licked her lips. He couldn't help but watch her as she left ... and he couldn't help but think that the oh-so-casual flick of her tail that exposed her winking pussy to him was very intentional. It was the season for mares to be in heat, after all.

By the time he turned back to the stage, the next colt was already shoving himself deep into Cadance's mouth. He sure didn't waste any time.

Blaze nudged him. “That was kind of rude, you know.”

“Huh?” Boomie looked over at him then immediately looked away, trying to avoid noticing the huge hard-on his brother was sporting.

“Cumming inside. It's pretty rude for the first colt in line to finish inside and give all the others sloppy seconds.”

“Well, nopony told me that,” Boomie said without looking. Instead, he watched the action on the stage intently. That colt was savagely fucking her face now, but Cadance was taking it like a champ, even seeming to enjoy it and shoving herself down harder, fondling the colt's tight little balls.

Motion on the other side of him caught the corner of his eye. Dash's hoof was in between her legs again and moving furiously. He could see little beads of sweat breaking out on her.

He turned to glance behind them. Dash wasn't the only one enjoying the show in a more physical way. He spotted stallions and mares masturbating, some giving each other oral ... some were even straight-out fucking each other as they watched the show on the stage. A few couples seemed to be trying to imitate exactly what was happening onstage. The scent of sex was starting to get heavy in the air. Now that he was listening for it, he could hear the grunts and squeals of orgasms amid the crowd's applause and cheering.

How many new foals would be conceived right here in this arena today?

Dash's face appeared in front of his own. She'd gotten out of her seat to stand in front of him. One of her hooves was still very busy between her back legs. “Can I?” she asked, glancing down.

All the sights, sounds, and smells, being surrounded by raw sex everywhere he looked ... it was having an effect on him, apparently. When he looked down with her, he noticed his own cock extended and firming up again.

Not quite sure what she intended to do – but pretty sure that he would enjoy it – he nodded.

She smiled, leaned down, and licked him from base to tip. It was an incredible new sensation. His lessons so far had all been focused on satisfying a mare in heat ... he'd never gotten oral before.

She licked again down and up, then popped his tip in and out of her mouth. “Mmm.” She licked her lips. “I can still taste the Princess on you!”

It had felt amazing, so warm and wet and so firm and... active when she'd had him inside her mouth. “Can you do that again, when you put it inside? Can you go deeper?” He could only imagine what it would feel like to feel more of that!

“Can I?” Dash smirked, holding his cock in her free hoof while the other still worked behind her. “I can keep up with the best of 'em! Just you see!” She dipped down again, rubbing her cheek against his flattened tip before popping it in between her lips and rubbing her tongue over it.

“Get ready, folks, I think he's about to... Yes! Yes, there it is!”

Boomie glanced back up at the stage just in time to see the colt up there empty himself into Cadance's throat. The Princess swallowed it down greedily, and not a single drop escaped her lips.

Dash drew his attention back down by bobbing her head. Each time she went just a little lower, spreading the incredible feeling of her mouth over a little more of him. He felt himself hit against the back of her throat, and she paused for a moment, angling her neck down a little bit. The next time she bobbed down, he passed the barrier easily and sank much deeper into her mouth.

The announcer boomed out, “Yes, the clean-up crew won't be needed this time. Let's hear it for little Thunderclap! And let's hear it for our gorgeous Princess of Love, taking it like a champ and not spilling a drop!” The crowd went crazy, and even Boomie joined in, banging his hooves together a little over Dash's head. “Wingbeat,” the announcer said, “you're on next, come on up!”

Dash went deeper, drawing his attention back. When he looked down at her, she met his eyes with a look that shouldn't have been able to be so innocent, given the cock filling her mouth. She winked at him and then plunged down roughly, all the way to Boomie's base.

Throwing his head back, Boomie gasped. How could she even do that? The announcer was saying something, but Boomie didn't even register it. The sensation of Dash's throat convulsing around him, gagging on him with little coughing sounds, it was totally overwhelming.

Her eyes were watering, but Dash shoved herself down on him over and over. His balls were getting coated in all the spit she was letting drool out around her lips. Finally, she pulled herself off of him, sliding him out in a long, slow motion. She gasped for breath when he popped free, but she didn't pause. Right away, she dipped down to nuzzle his balls, licking her own spit from them and rubbing her cheeks and lips over them. “You still have some left after what you gave Cadance?”

Boomie nodded.

“I can feel it, so full and ripe! Are you gonna fill my mouth up?”

He nodded again. She grinned and licked her way up to his tip again.

The feeling of Dash shoving herself back down on him made him throw his head back again. When he did, he saw what was happening onstage. Cadance was on top, facing away, rocking her hips on top of the new colt – all Boomie could see of him was a blue tail and his pink legs and balls. He watched, remembering how Cadance's pussy had looked and felt, savoring the memory even as Dash gagged on him.

He ran his hoof through Dash's mane, looking down at her. “Dashie, I'm—”

She pulled up, holding his shaft with one hoof and tenderly massaging his balls with the other. “Give it to me,” she whispered, barely audible over the crowd. Keeping eye contact with him the whole time, she lowered her head back down and opened her mouth wide, laying the tip of Boomie's cock on her outstretched tongue.

Her hoof stroked him, and it only took a few passes up and down before Boomie lost it. He groaned, staring into her love-struck eyes even as the first thick white stream shot straight down into her throat.

Dash swallowed greedily, but without ever moving him off the tip of her tongue, even as the tail end of each spurt laid itself onto its soft pink curve. As his spurts began to slow, she stopped swallowing it, holding it in her mouth, collecting a deep pool of it. When he finally stopped and his cock retreated off of her tongue all on its own, she looked up at him, letting him see his load swirling around her tongue. She closed her mouth, gulped visibly, then opened it again, perfectly clean.

Boomie just stared down at her, his own mouth hanging open as well. She still held his softening cock and emptied balls in her gentle hooves.

“Told ya I was good!” She winked at him and gave a cocky smile – as opposed to a smile with a cock in it, which she'd been giving him a moment ago.

He nodded. “You are. That was amazing.”

She laughed, returning to her seat. “Gotta keep your stallion happy if you want to make sure he's around when you need him!”

Boomie just smiled back at her, glad to have such an amazing sister. Now that his head wasn't quite so dominated by sex anymore, he began to wonder just how this whole assigning of mares thing worked. “Hey... Blaze?” He turned to the other side, only to be startled by seeing Blaze balls-deep inside a mare he'd never seen before, ramming her pussy down on himself over and over as she sat on his lap.

“Yeah, Boomie?” he said, his voice strained but casual.

Boomie stared at the mare, a butter-yellow pegasus with a pink mane. He stared at the splatters of wetness across both of their fur where the two of them connected. After a moment, he became aware that he'd been staring too long. “Oh, um, nothing. I'll ask you later.”

“Okay, that's cool, Bro.” Blaze shoved the mare down one last time and wrapped his hooves tightly around her chest, biting down on her neck. His muscles were tight and twitchy, standing out under his fur, and the mare's eyes opened wide as she gasped out a quiet shriek.

The two of them stayed frozen like that for a long moment, then finally separated. When she rose up from his lap, his softening stallionhood fell out of her, along with a splash of white. She turned around and nuzzled his brother a little on the cheek, then quickly trotted away, her cheeks burning bright red.

“Who was that?” Boomie asked.

“That? Oh, do you know Big Macintosh in Ponyville? She's one of his mares.” Blaze watched her leave the arena. “I'm not sure what she's doing in Cloudsdale – I didn't ask – but me and Big Mac are sort-of friends, and we share mares from time to time. Since Fluttershy was up here in heat with no stallion to take care of her, she went searching for me.”

“Oh...”

“What was it you wanted to ask me?”

Boomie grinned sheepishly. “I was just wondering how getting my mares works...”

“Oh don't worry about that.” Blaze waved him off. “It'll all be taken care of, and they'll come to meet you in a week or two.”
